Chapter 359: Crime and Punishment (II)

"I think it......" Yan Shu said in a long voice: "Is Su Jin at fault...... The jury is still out. ”

Yan Shu's words, like a round slap, shone on the mouths of everyone in the court, including Zhao Zhen.

Zhong Wenwu stared at Yan Shu, as if he didn't know this person, is this person still the Yan Shu who is as smooth as a mouse? At this time, he still didn't recognize the limelight, and he didn't get off the stage with the ladder brought by the emperor, but it was like a cooked duck's beak - stiff and hard, could it be that his brain suddenly short-circuited and he was confused?

Although Lu Yijian and Du Yan were surprised, they secretly rejoiced, this old boy was crazy, the human and material evidence were all there, and he actually turned the case over in person, now look at how the emperor still protects you, you don't know how to lift yourself, you need to complain about others, we don't want to do anything to you, we just don't want you to grab the phase, it's a big deal that you still do your three envoys, but in this way, I'm afraid that your three envoys can't do it.

In the gloating eyes of Lu Yijian and Du Yan, Yan Shu said slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister said this not to say that Su Jin was innocent, but because Su Jin did not mention this matter in the report to me, all the evidence in front of him only started from a letter in the hands of Lord Lu, the real evidence The minister did not see anything, and he did not see it, and how could he be convicted by hearing it, not to mention that it was such a big crime, the minister did not dare to believe it casually." ”

"You mean the old man can't make it up?" Lu Yijian's beard was blown high, his face was flushed with excitement, his hands and feet were a little trembling, and he trembled his lips and said: "Your Majesty, please give me a fair word, when will I, Lu Yijian, dare to talk nonsense in the court?" When Lord Yan said this, he was openly doubting the character of the old minister, please forgive the old minister for not tolerating it. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Yan Shu with a calm face, and his heart was extremely unhappy, this Yan Shu didn't know which evil he had fallen into, he actually talked nonsense, he didn't give himself face just now, and it was not the first time that he was refuted by others, but at this moment, he was messing around, pointing out that Lu Yijian was not coming, which really shouldn't be.

Yan Shu arched his hand and said: "Lu Xiang misunderstood what I meant, I didn't say that Lu Xiang fabricated evidence, I just reminded Lu Xiang, just based on what he said in a private letter, can you determine what Su Jin did?" In order to convict, at least there must be evidence presented in court, not only must there be witnesses and material evidence, but also interrogation to see if it is strictly and logically. ”

"Joke! Hainan Road transfer envoy still dares to fabricate? Although this letter is a private letter, in the old man's opinion, I am afraid that the above words are all true, and Wang Qinian does not dare to fool the old man. Lu Yijian coughed loudly and gasped.

Du Yan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lu Xiang is angry, his body is important, but don't hurt his body for this matter." He turned his head to Yan Shu and said angrily: "Lord Yan, you are too much, you casually doubt the honesty of the court officials in front of the emperor, what are you doing here?" ”

Yan Shu said: "The difference between Lord Du's words is a matter of life and death, and this person has made great contributions, how can he be so-so?" We must be cautious and cautious, if we are casually falsely accused and make an unjust case, it will not damage the dignity of the court. ”

"The transfer envoy said in the letter that the bandit leader Lao Wang confessed in person, and also wrote a confession and drew a confession, is this still false?" Du Yan said angrily.

Yan Shu said coldly: "What about the confession? What about the bandit leader 'Big Boss'? Have you seen it or have you seen it? The official is willing to believe that all this is true, but there must be real evidence, and you don't like to listen to it, for Su Jin's guilt, the confession at the level of the state capital road is not enough to be accepted, and the witness testimony must be obtained by the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Yushitai Three Halls before it can be believed. ”

"You're a strong ......!" Du Yan lost his temper and pointed at Yan Shu and said: "You are afraid that the person you recommended will be punished, and you will not be able to escape the responsibility, so you are so quibble." ”

Yan Shu shouted: "Du Shumi, are you convicting this official in front of the emperor?" Everything is about procedures, you like to talk about the crime without talking about the procedure, and you can treat others, but you can't treat the people recommended by the old man! It is necessary to know that this person is still in Yangzhou in the wind and snow, trying his best to fight with those grain profiteers, and even his life is in danger; You can ignore the food affairs, but my three divisions have to worry about this matter everywhere, Su Jin is also working hard for this matter, now the deadline for November 20 has passed, the collection of grain in various places has reached a critical moment, the grain depots in various places are becoming more and more empty, and the northwest Yuan Hao is about to attack, or think more about how to survive this difficult winter, these things are handed over to the Criminal Department, Yushitai and Dali Temple to deal with, don't mess up the priorities! ”

"You're ......!" Du Yan was speechless for a while, Yan Shu's mouth was too powerful, he was obviously talking about Su Jin's affairs, but in a blink of an eye, he talked about the collection of grain, the northwest war situation, and the righteousness was so awe-inspiring that it was almost about to make people angry.

"What Lord Yan said is reasonable!" Someone came out to help, and when he heard the shrill voice, he didn't need to look at it to know that it was Ouyang Xiu in the imperial history.

"The Imperial Historical Observatory shoulders the responsibility of investigating the crimes of the officials, the emperor, the ministers ask for a thorough investigation of Su Jinjiao's Zhao'an, this is the responsibility of the Imperial Historical Observatory, Lu Xiang, Du Shumi, Yan Sansi and others still have important things to do, how can they be distracted by this matter, it is better for the ministers to do it." Ouyang Xiu knelt down the steps and asked Zhao Zhen for his life.

Zhao Zhen has not been silent, he is thinking about Yan Shu's words, Yan Shu seems to be helping Su Jin to be uneven, in fact, he is just complaining for himself, grain affairs is indeed the most important thing at present, for this matter Yan Shu has been sleeping for dozens of days in the Yamen of the Three Divisions, his hair has boiled a lot white, and the effect is quite huge, until the specified deadline, the grain purchased by the official warehouse reported is actually eight million stones, although it is far from the food gap, but it is enough to prove Su Jin's words of huge abundance of private grain storage, and there is motivation when there is a goal, Yan Shu also worked hard, and suddenly someone dismantled the stage and talked about Su Jin, no wonder Yan Shu reacted so much.

Zhao Zhen even regretted that he had reacted too aggressively before, Su Jin calmed down the tricky Yangzhou matter so quickly, even if there were some mistakes in it, could he really hold on to this royal face and treat him for the crime of exaggeration?

But the matter has come out, and it is not a way to cover it, and it seems that Du Yan and Lu Yijian are not willing to give up, both sides are people who rely on it, so that it is not good for anyone not to be happy, although he is happy to see the two groups of people fighting each other, the more he fights, the easier it is to grasp them, but in this winter, infighting is not a good thing, playing this kind of cat and mouse tricks, if you don't get it right, you will put Jiangshan Sheji in.

Not to mention anything else, as soon as he thought that after taking Su Jin, if Yan Shu didn't do anything, no one cared about the food business, Zhao Zhen broke out in a cold sweat, this is not a joke, this winter is not a gangster can pass.

As soon as Ouyang Xiu appeared, Zhao Zhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, this kid appeared too timely, this matter can be handed over to him to do, the people in the province are noisy, and Zhao Zhen understands too well that the three halls will be tried, first the Yushitai will send someone to collect evidence, and then the criminal department of Dali Temple will consider it, and then report that he knows, and then he will order the three of them to jointly set up a public court trial, and then report the results to himself after the first and second trials, and then there will be a final conclusion, so check and check the time will pass, and then the errand will be done, The crisis has also passed, and then slowly think about how to deal with this matter, a procrastination is simply wonderful, Zhao Zhen smiled proudly.

"What you said makes sense, I think it's better to hand this matter over to Yushitai to investigate the evidence first, so I approve Ouyang Aiqing's request, Ouyang Aiqing, I order you to take the prisoner, investigate the evidence of the confession, you must do your best not to be sloppy, and others should not worry too much about this matter, this winter is an eventful winter, or focus on those few major things."

"But Your Majesty, this matter ......," Du Yan said hurriedly.

"Don't say any more, I'm a little tired, so let's do it." Zhao Zhen interrupted unceremoniously.

Yan Shu said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask the emperor, who will take over Su Jin's errand?" ”

"Succession? Why take over? ”

"When the Imperial Historical Observatory investigated, didn't Su Jin have to be suspended and cooperate?"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "No, no, the Imperial Historical Observatory investigates the Imperial Historical Observatory, Su Jin does his own errand, the two have nothing to do with it, what is the suspension?" You write a letter and knock him, he may not understand some rules of the court, don't be okay this time, something will really happen after a while, and you have to talk about the rules when you run an errand. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding him, the minister must give him a warning, and at the same time, bring the court's praise for his first achievement."

Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "When did I want you to bring a compliment." He waved his hand and said, "Yan Aiqing looks at it, my head is a little dizzy again, let's retreat." ”

Everyone watched Zhao Zhen escape and walked down the throne and went back to the inner palace, Lu Yijian sat on the chair with a wooden face, Du Yan's hand was pale, and the two of them stared at each other with big eyes, although they were unwilling, but they had no choice for a while.
