Chapter 924

Hongzhi's eyes shrank, and his gaze quickly swept over Lu Mingyuan's face, and then he looked thoughtful.

The old courtiers first looked at Lu Mingyuan with puzzled eyes, and then a trace suddenly flashed, and the meaning in their eyes was incomprehensible.

Xie Yuanyang and Li Yunqi were full of shock, how could this Commander Mu look like this, and give such a big gift to Lu Mingyuan, but Lu Mingyuan didn't seem to accept it, but instead spoke disrespectfully, what's going on? They are unusually puzzled in their hearts!

Xiao Sa flashed a trace of abruptness in his eyes, sighed lightly, and his eyes swept over Lu Mingyuan and Mu Bin inexplicably.

Similarly, Ming Zhongxin also had a hint of pity in his eyes, and then a trace of pity appeared in his eyes, of course, this pity was directed at Lu Mingyuan.

As for Mu Bin, he is directly stupid! kneeling dumbfounded, looking at Lu Mingyuan blankly, as if he didn't believe that this sentence came from Lu Mingyuan's mouth.

"Commander Mu, this big gift, Lu can't afford it!" Lu Mingyuan looked at Mu Bin indifferently.

Mu Bin's face turned pale, and his eyes were full of despair, however, he didn't dare to be mad, without saying a word, he kowtowed a few times, slowly stood up, bowed and saluted again, turned around and came behind Hongzhi, standing still.

Everyone looked at Lu Mingyuan together.

Lu Mingyuan didn't seem to see it at all, and his face was still expressionless.

Hongzhi glanced at Lu Mingyuan deeply, shook his head and sighed, and turned his head to look at Zhang Ji, "What is at stake, and it has to be verified, and the cause and effect are unpredictable?" ”

Zhang Ji's face froze, but he didn't dare to hide it, and he came out and replied, "Returning to Your Majesty, it is a strange thing that happened in the Shuntian Mansion before!" That is, the head of the Ming family was wronged by Wang Xiaoer! ”

"Oh, what's the cause and effect?" Hongji was full of interest.

Zhang Ji smiled bitterly, the prince asked before, he can still prevaricate, how can he prevaricate now? The one who sat down was the master of the Ming Dynasty, what excuse did he have to find?

Zhang Ji bowed and saluted, "Before the minister elaborates, please take a look at these confessions!" ”

As he spoke, he held a handful of paper above his head and presented it.

Chen Zhun stepped forward to take it and presented it to Hongji.

Hongzhi looked strange, after all, he hadn't asked Shuntian Mansion Yin to investigate this matter in detail before, how could he have some confessions? Could it be that he was secretly investigating?

Although it was strange in his heart, he was also very curious about who was framing Ming Zhongxin, after all, that matter was framed by a clear-eyed person.

But everyone knows in their hearts that the forces in the shadows will never be so unwise and make such obvious mistakes.

Everyone had some conjectures, but none of them announced it.

Hongji lowered his head and looked at the confession carefully, and the more he looked at it, the darker his face became, and the more he looked at it, the more solemn his face became.

"Are these true?" Hongzhi looked up at Zhang Ji and pointed to the "evidence, confession" in front of him.

Zhang Ji really couldn't count the number of wry smiles today, smiled bitterly, and looked at Ming Zhongxin, "These evidence confessions are not collected by the minister, but collected by the head of the Ming family himself!" ”

Hongji frowned and looked at Ming Zhongxin.

"Your Majesty, these confessions are true and reliable, and the people who signed these confessions are all here, please ask Your Majesty to be the master of the grass people!" As he spoke, Ming Zhongxin bowed deeply and didn't get up for a long time.

This is in the general! Everyone understands, and Hongji understands even more.

Hongji looked at Ming Zhongxin and was silent for a long time.

After all, no one pursued this incident when it happened, and at this time, Ming Zhongxin actually collected all this evidence, what is this for? Is it forced to the palace? But then his heart moved, people didn't know that he was coming, so there was no such thing as forcing the palace.

Moreover, even if the palace is forced, I am afraid that it is also forcing Zhang Zhi! As for Liu Jian and others, I am afraid that they have been invited to come as witnesses when they come today.

But I didn't expect that I stepped in with one foot and took the initiative to ask about it, isn't this looking for a draw! Hongji regretted it a little, after all, the matter had been presented to him, and Ming Zhongxin had already indicated that he would pursue the matter, how could he turn a blind eye!

"Are you sure these people aren't just biting?" Hongji looked at Ming Zhongxin and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, these evidences are true, and the grass people did not arbitrarily forge them!" Ming Zhongxin raised his head and replied.

Looking at a serious Ming Zhongxin, Hongzhi believed seven points in his heart, after all, whether these evidence is true, Ming Zhongxin has absolutely no way to forge it, after all, there are many people involved in this, logically speaking, one link is connected to the other, and there is no mistake or omission, but it has to be verified!

It just so happens that the three auxiliary ministers are all here today, and Yin Zhangji of Shuntian Mansion is also there, so let's just try it out!

At this moment, his heart moved, this may be Ming Zhongxin's intention to invite so many important ministers of the imperial court!

After all, the characters involved in the end, if there were no people in the town, I am afraid that Ming Zhongxin would not be able to make it public at all! Moreover, even if it is made public, I am afraid that everyone will not believe it! What's more, there is a big man involved, and everyone will not interfere!

And Ming Zhongxin took this opportunity to find out in front of these ministers, and with this testimony, his own danger would be minimized. What a good calculation!

And I jumped in without realizing it, what a damn curiosity!

At this point, it's too late to regret it, not to mention, I also want to see if these evidences are true or false!

"And where are these people now?"

"It's on the grass people's house!" Ming Zhongxin replied.

"Everything?" Hongzhi looked incredulous, but then he thought about it, yes, if it wasn't for this Ming mansion, how could Ming Zhongxin get these evidence to sign?!

"Bring them in!" Hongji commanded.

"No!" Ming Zhongxin readily agreed, turned his head and ordered, "Mingxing, bring them up!" ”

Everyone looked at Ming Zhongxin together, each with their own thoughts, waiting for the witness testimony found by Ming Zhongxin to arrive.

After Zhao Mingxing left in response, it didn't take much effort, and a group of people waited for the fish to enter.

These witnesses were lined up, and there were all kinds of people, young and middle-aged, all kinds of people, which was eye-opening. And there are even more than a dozen, how did he catch them?

Everyone looked at Ming Zhongxin with great amazement.

Suddenly, King Ning next to him trembled even more, looking at one of these witnesses with an incredulous expression.

Naturally, others didn't know or see it, after all, King Ning pretended to be very natural, and the tremor was also fleeting.

However, there are people here who are looking at it.

One is Ming Zhongxin, and the other is Xiao Sa.

At this time, Xiao Sa gritted his teeth a little, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable anger.

Moreover, there are also Zhang Zhutou and Wang Xiaoer, whose faces have changed greatly, just because some of these people also know each other.

The two of them not only had a drastic change in complexion, but their eyes were full of inexplicable shock.

"CITIC, you come here one by one!" Hongji, however, frowned and gave the order.

After all, there are a lot of people, how did Ming Zhongxin straighten out the relationship between these people? You know, it's only been a few days! Will he be able to find these people along the way? Is this really true? He was deeply skeptical.

Of course, everyone was also shocked, and they couldn't believe how Ming Zhongxin could arrest these people in just a few days.

"Your Majesty, my brother is guilty!" At this moment, suddenly, a person knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Hongji.

Yes! The crowd was in an uproar and looked at him.

This person kneeling on the ground was none other than Zhu Chenhao, the king of Naning.

Hongzhi's face was slightly gloomy, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhu Chenhao, "King Ning, is this matter related to you?" ”

Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao naturally nodded again and again and confessed.

But it turned out that the mastermind behind the framing of Ming Zhongxin was really our King Ning, in his words, that is, since Ming Zhongxin entered Beijing, he has continued to expand his business, and then hit his business, and it is a devastating blow, making him hold a grudge, and after returning to Beijing this time, Ming Zhongxin has made further expansion of his business, and this time, it is even more difficult to hit the industry under the name of King Ning.

Driven by interests, he had no choice but to prepare to defeat Ming Zhongxin, so that he could no longer develop, and give the business under the name of King Ning a chance to breathe, the ideal is to unjustly kill Ming Zhongxin, so that he can no longer turn over, in that case, he will have peace of mind!

And the obscene middle-aged man is the person in charge of the execution of the frame-up sent by King Ning, these people are all through this obscene middle-aged man to issue tasks, and then implement them layer by layer, one-line contact, find a suitable candidate, and finally set his sights on this Wang Xiaoer, of course, Wang Xiaoer really has nothing to do with everyone, and he has definitely not seen the true face of the line, but he has only seen the masked person, and promised heavy profits, Wang Xiaoer has become the last link.

Before, Ming Zhongxin actually said that he had found evidence and testimony to prove the real culprit behind him, and King Ning was a little unimpressed, after all, in his opinion, this plan was really seamless, and no one could find his head. However, the appearance of the obscene middle-aged man made him fall into despair. Just because, he understands in his heart the importance of this guy and his temperament. This time he will inevitably confess himself, so he turned himself in and confessed his guilt.

Of course, everyone believes in the natural thing that King Ning confessed, but the real reason why King Ning framed Ming Zhongxin, everyone didn't believe a word, even Hongzhi didn't believe it, but people confessed like this, who can know the deep-seated reason! After all, it was His Majesty's brother of the same clan, and if Emperor Hongzhi didn't speak, who would dare to pursue it again! Now, it's up to Hongji to send down this King Ning!

Of course, as far as Wang Ning's arrangement is concerned, Wang Xiaoer doesn't know who the upline is, so how did Ming Zhongxin find this one? Everyone doesn't know. And how did Ming Zhongxin find out the people in each subsequent link one by one, which made everyone very puzzled!

Hongji looked at this fellow brother, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were calm.

King Ning knelt on the ground without raising his head, waiting for Hongzhi to fall.

Everyone, including Ming Zhongxin, is staring at Hongzhi tightly, and it depends on how His Majesty decides!

After a long time, Hongzhi looked up at Zhang Ji, "Zhang Aiqing, the incident happened in your Shuntianfu realm, tell me, how to deal with this matter?" ”

Zhang Ji felt bitter in his heart, Your Majesty is shaking the pot! How do we know what to do? After all, there is a prince involved in it, and no matter how you decide, you will offend people! But as a parent official, how can he shirk the affairs of this jurisdiction! You have to bite the bullet!

Zhang Ji got up solemnly, came to the hall, and bowed to salute, "Back to Your Majesty, since the crime of framing the head of the Ming family is confirmed, and the evidence is conclusive, and the party has also pleaded guilty, then, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Xiaoer will be sentenced to the crime of counteraccusation, and as for those who command the people at all levels, they will be punished according to the criminal law." As for King Ning"

Speaking of which, Zhang Ji took a look at Hongji.

"Say!" Hongji's face sank and he said sharply.

"The minister believes that although this matter was instigated by King Ning to frame Ming Zhongxin, after all, Ming Zhongxin was not harmed, and besides, King Ning is a nobleman of Tianhuang, and Shuntianfu cannot punish him, not to mention, King Ning is a member of the clan, and this matter should be punished by the Zongren Mansion!" After Zhang Ji finished speaking in one breath, he looked at Hongzhi nervously, after all, he didn't know if his punishment was in line with His Majesty's wishes, but he could only do this, it was best to throw this pot out!

When Wu Dinghou heard this, his eyes widened, and he waited to come forward to judge.

However, the sleeves were tight, and when he looked up, he saw that Liu Daxia was winking at him.

Wu Dinghou was stunned for a moment, and he missed the opportunity.

Hongzhi nodded slowly, and turned his head to look at Wu Dinghou, "Guo Houye, you are now in charge of the Zongren Mansion, how to punish King Ning's crime?" ”

"This?" When Wu Dinghou saw His Majesty asking, he was stunned, after all, he had just taken over the Zongren Mansion, and everything was still being sorted out, where did he think that he would encounter a crime case of the clan so coincidentally.

Although the Zongren Mansion has already changed the patriarchal law in recent years, with the affairs of the Patriarch's foreign relatives and ministers who also lead the affairs of the Zongren Mansion, there is no special official, and the Zongren Mansion is under the management of the Ministry of Rites, and the affairs under its jurisdiction are transferred to the Ministry of Rites, that is, the power of subsequent affairs is vested in the Ministry of Rites.

In fact, now that the Zongren Mansion has already not sentenced the people in the clan, what is Your Majesty asking, and how could Your Majesty not hear such an obvious prevarication? Wu Dinghou's thoughts were spinning in his mind, his eyes lit up, and he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since Ming Zhongxin has not been substantially harmed, and King Ning is also a member of the clan, it is better to punish it inappropriately, so let King Ning compensate Ming Zhongxin and the Ming family and reconcile this matter, what do you think?" ”

"How can Da Ming Law be such a child's play!" Hongzhi's face sank like water, and he scolded angrily, "Wu Dinghou, you want to be with the mud!" ”

"The minister is guilty!" Wu Dinghou hung his head aggrievedly and pleaded guilty.

"Humph!" Hongzhi snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the fact that you were in charge of the Zongren Mansion for the first time, and you still didn't know the law of responsibility of the Zongren Mansion, I would have removed you from the Zongren Mansion today!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wu Dinghou naturally had to hurry up and thank him.

When everyone saw Hongji angry, they naturally trembled and didn't dare to speak, so they sat with their heads down and didn't say a word.

"King Ning!" Hongji shouted in a deep voice.

Everyone trembled in their hearts, here they are, this is to announce King Ning's punishment!
