Liu Qin coughed and bowed to the emperor Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, I have a few questions. Can you ask Doctor Fan?"

Zhao Zhen nodded with expressionless face, "Authentication!"

Liu Qin immediately turned around and asked Fan Ning: "Xue Zongru accused Ouyang Xiu of having an affair with his daughter-in-law, but he was not sure that he was in his house. If he was elsewhere, the meaning of the word might not be in line. How can I explain this?"

Fan Ning said coldly: "The premise of Mr. Liu's words is to determine that Ouyang Xiu and his daughter-in-law have an affair. What evidence does Liu have to draw this conclusion first? Why should Xue Zongru say that he is elsewhere? What evidence does he have? Should I ask Xue Zongru? "

Xue Zongru is a seventh-rank official and is not qualified to participate in the small court meeting. Fan Ning directly pointed the finger at Xue Zongru. So should he be brought?

Liu Qin quickly glanced at Jia Changchao and saw that he shook his head to him. This matter could not be called Xue Zongru. Liu Qin laughed dryly and said, "Everyone has his own position. Everyone thinks that Ouyang Xiu and his daughter-in-law have an affair. I naturally proposed it from this. But Doctor Fan denied it. I wonder if Doctor Fan has found any direct evidence to prove that the poem has nothing to do with Wu Chunyan?"

Liu Qin's words were a bit disgusting. Since he supported Xue Zongru's accusations, he should have proved that this poem was related to Wu Chunyan. Now he wants Fan Ning to prove that this poem has nothing to do with Wu Chunyan.

It's like a sheep. You have to say it's a pig, but you can't prove it's a pig, but you have to ask others to prove it's not a pig. To put it bluntly, it's just unreasonable.

In fact, everyone understands that there are no small buildings or ponds in Ouyang Xiu's mansion, which is the biggest evidence. Ouyang Xiu is probably slandered.

No one noticed that the face of Emperor Zhao Zhen had gradually turned pale.

Fan Ning straightened his waist and sneered: "I'm afraid I've disappointed Mr. Liu. I really found the original manuscript of this poem and the woman corresponding to this poem."

Fan Ning's words caused an uproar in the hall. Zhang Yaozuo was a little anxious and shouted, "Doctor Fan, who is this person?"

Fan Ning ignored him and bowed to Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, I must protect the witnesses. I will submit a complete report to Your Majesty this morning."

Zhao Zhen nodded, "Then I'm waiting for your report. If Xue Zongru is indeed a false accusation, I will punish him severely!"

After saying that, he ignored Zhang Sheng and stood up and said, "Scatter the court!"

Zhang Sheng was stunned. He was only halfway through his impeachment, and the emperor announced that the court had dispersed. A chill surged in his heart.

………

Liu Qin quickly caught up with Jia Changchao and followed Jia Changchao. He whispered: "Mr. Jia, what should we do?"

"What should I do?" Jia Changchao looked at him coldly.

"I'm afraid Xue Zongru will be in trouble this time!"

"What does it have to do with me if he is in trouble?"

Jia Changchao glared at Liu Qin with dissatisfaction, turned around and left.

Liu Qin looked at Jia Changchao's back as he walked away and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Jia Xianggong refused to admit his account, what should I do?

He was not worried about Xue Zongru, but about himself. He jumped out at the court meeting in the morning. It was obviously Xue Zongru's party. Once Xue Zongru was questioned, can he escape the relationship?

Liu Qin was anxious, but she was helpless...

When Zhang Yaozuo returned to the official room, he smashed a cup hard, and a group of useless bastards!

He gritted his teeth with hatred, both hating Jia Changchao for delaying time and delaying the best opportunity, and also hating Zhang Sheng for being prepared for haste and was turned over by a day of investigation. Could it be that Zhang Sheng was really talking nonsense and had never investigated at all?

At this time, Zhang Sheng hurried to his official room. As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Yaozuo roared angrily: "Why do you explain to me?"

Zhang Sheng was sweating profusely and said quickly: "This matter cannot be blamed on Beiyi. I didn't expect that he found evidence in one day. Moreover, I hoped to impeach Ouyang Xiu as soon as possible, but..."

"Is it my responsibility?"

"I don't dare to be humble. Jia Changchao is indeed responsible for this matter. He shouldn't have to delay it for too long."

Zhang Sheng pushed the blame to Jia Changchao. Zhang Yaozuo glared at him fiercely and said, "You have to do two things now. First, you have to confirm whether Fanning has found conclusive evidence. Second, once Fanning has found conclusive evidence, this matter has nothing to do with us. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Zhang Sheng bowed and left in a hurry.

But Zhang Yaozuo became very bad. He sat on the chair and stared out the window, muttering to himself: "Can this little brat become so powerful?"

...........

Yesterday Fanning completed the draft of the report. He spent another half an hour rewriting a new report, putting the evidence found in a paper bag, and left the Censorate and hurried to the palace.

He waited for a moment outside the Imperial Study in Ziwei Palace, and a eunuch ran over and said, "Fan Zhiyuan, Your Majesty summoned you to see you."

Fan Ning then quickly walked into the imperial study room, and a eunuch helped him with the clerk to follow him.

In the imperial study room, Zhao Zhen was sitting in front of the imperial desk and drinking tea. Fan Ning bowed and bowed, "I am here to see Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhen nodded and praised: "Today, my dear performance was good at the court meeting. He is a qualified censor. He is not afraid of offending others. He dares to express his different opinions clearly and is reasonable and concise. I am deeply satisfied!"

"Weichen just wants to do things well and will not pay too much attention to other people's feelings."

"This is the key. I have said a long time ago that I am afraid of offending others and I can't be a good official. OK! Let me see your report."

Fan Ning handed over the report, and the eunuch handed over the paper bag full of documents. Zhao Zhen looked at the paper bag and asked, "What is inside?"

"It is a variety of evidence collected by Weichen, including the seven slander and rumor that Xue Zongru slandered Ouyang Xiu in the past five years, this time it is the eighth time."

Zhao Zhen's face became very ugly. He saw a sketch from the document and asked again: "What does this picture mean?"

"Report to Your Majesty, this picture is a sketch of the South Court of the Dongmen Jiaofang, which is completely in line with the surrounding environment of Ouyang Xiu's poem. Ouyang Xiu himself explained that the poem was inspired by the poem here."

"Where is the swallow in the word?" Zhao Zhen asked again, swallow is the key to this case, and Wu Chunyan is suspected of being the nickname Swallow.

"The Yanzi in the lyrics is the official prostitute Zhu Caimei. Her real name is Zhu Yan. Ouyang Xiu likes her very much. That lyrics were written by him to Zhu Caimei. Bei Zhi got the confession and the original manuscript of this lyrics from Zhu Caimei!"

"asshole!"

Zhao Zhen was so angry that he slapped the table heavily and ordered his left and right, "Go to Xuanzhao Gong, Fu Gong and Han Gong come to see me!"

The eunuch quickly went to Xuansong to summon the three prime ministers. Zhao Zhen's mood became very bad. He stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and silently, while Fan Ning stood aside with his hands down, not daring to disturb the emperor's contemplation.

After a long time, Zhao Zhen said slowly: "It is so easy to destroy a person's reputation. Just make up a story. The dignified literary leader was ruined."

Fan Ning said in a deep voice: "Weichen believes that the key is that the price of illegality is too low. If a person is slandered and a heavy price is paid, there will not be so many people who will make up for it unscrupulously, nor will the Tabbuds spread rumors as they please. As the censor, Xue Zongru spreads rumors and slanders at will, and his virtue is not worthy of being the censor. So who recommended him as the censor? Should he also bear the responsibility for recommendation?"

Zhao Zhen nodded, "You are right. If this matter is not severely punished, there will be more Ouyang Xiu incidents."

At this time, the eunuch reported at the door, "Your Majesty, the three grandparents are here!"

"Supreme them in!"

Zhao Zhen returned to his seat and sat down. After a moment, the three husbands walked in and bowed together.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "The report of Fan Zhiyuan has been released, you can take a look at it yourself!"

Wen Yanbo took the report and looked at it carefully. Fan Ning recounted the situation just reported. Fu Bi picked up the original manuscript of the words Ouyang Xiu gave to Zhu Caimei and looked at it. It was obvious that it had been a few years. It was not the newly written words, personal evidence, physical evidence and the logic of the report were very clear. Then this matter was very obvious. It was indeed Xue Zongru who fabricated facts and falsely accused Ouyang Xiu.

Zhao Zhen asked again: "Who recommended Xue Zongru as the censor?"

Fu Bi thought for a while and said, "It seems that it was jointly recommended by Liu Yun, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Liu Qin, the direct scholar."

Zhao Zhen nodded and asked the three people: "The truth has been revealed. What should the three of you agree to do about this?"

Han Qi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter is of bad nature and the consequences are extremely serious, which greatly hurts innocent ministers. If this situation is not ruthlessly suppressed, more ministers will encounter misfortunes in the future. In order to purify the court, I believe that those who spread rumors and slander should be severely punished, and those responsible should be severely punished."

Fu Bi also expressed his opinion: "Weichen agrees with Mr. Han's suggestion and supports severe punishment!"

"Where is Mr. Wen?"

Wen Yanbo also nodded, "This matter is indeed very bad, and we need to punish the past and prevent the future."

Wen Yanbo's tone was lighter, but in fact his position was relatively neutral. He believed that Xue Zongru might have caused this misunderstanding to protect the interests of his sister. However, he also admitted that the nature of this matter was very serious, so he did not intend to plead for Xue Zongru.

Zhao Zhen said coldly: "Since the three county officials agree, then pass on my will. Xue Zongru wants to slander the ministers, which is of bad nature and has serious consequences. He will be removed from all official positions and Jiao Dali Temple will be punished!"
