After these officials were dumbfounded, endless panic surged in their hearts, since Wang Yuan was undoubtedly involved in the case, it would definitely not be able to be fished out!

Then if Zhang Zhijie really wants to connect anyone, as long as Wang Yuanpan bites him with torture, everyone will be finished! As soon as they thought of this, they couldn't help but turn pale, especially those officials who had repeatedly impeached Zhang Zhijie, and they were even more panicked in their hearts.

Originally, they wanted to fight back to protect themselves because Dongchang arrested people and thought that Zhang Zhijie was settling old accounts. But later, because the rumors that Zhang Zhijie was reprimanded by Emperor Zhengde spread, they were moved and thought of taking this opportunity to pull Zhang Zhijie off the horse.

But now they are all panicked in their hearts, and they all regret the impeachment of Zhang Zhijie very much. They can only pray that they have not been in the limelight in writing the impeachment letter, and they have not been remembered by Zhang Zhijie, otherwise everything will be suspended.

"Elder Ge, although Wang Yuan is involved in the case, if Jin Yiwei just arrested Wang Yuan, it would be fine, if Wang Yuan bit it, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"Yes, once it is implicated, it will be uncontrollable, and the Lanyu case and Hu Weiyong case in the Hongwu period will implicate tens of thousands of murderers!"

"Can't you? Zhang Zhijie didn't dare to implicate and kill tens of thousands of people, right? ”

"Even if it doesn't involve so widely, we may be the first to bear the brunt!"

"yes, yes, yes!"

These officials gathered here and were worried, and many officials had remorseful bowels in their hearts, and they knew that they would accept it when they saw it! However, they also have some grievances in their hearts, if Dongchang hadn't arrested people first, they wouldn't have jumped out to provoke Zhang Zhijie!

In the end, it was Yang Tinghe who spoke, and said in a deep voice: "Liang Ge and I have already been to Jinyiwei, and Admiral Zhang said that he would enforce the law impartially!" ”

The crowd did not look comforted at all, this kind of words are not believed at all, and it is likely that they are just perfunctory words!

Yang Tinghe also knew that he couldn't fully believe this, and then said in a deep voice: "If Jin Yiwei is just trying the case normally, it will naturally be excellent!" If Jin Yiwei is really involved in the Zhu Lian, then we will ask the emperor, and the three law divisions will assist Jin Yiwei in the joint trial of this case! ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up, and they all said: "Pavilion Elder has a good idea, why don't you ask the emperor to be tried by the three law divisions in cooperation with Jinyiwei now!" In this case, Jinyi Wei will not be able to engage in the Lian under everyone's eyes! ”

But Yang Tinghe could only shake his head, he and Liang Chu had already met Emperor Zhengde, and they already knew Emperor Zhengde's attitude very well. He knew that if he went to invite him now, he would definitely be rejected by Emperor Zhengde, so he would lose the opportunity.

So Yang Tinghe shook his head and said: "It's not time yet, this case involves the palace, and it is difficult to get the emperor to agree to the insertion of the three law divisions!" ”

Everyone could only sigh and disperse when they heard this, but they each had a small calculation in their hearts, and at the same time prayed that they were not noticed by Zhang Zhijie.

Not long after Zhang Zhijie sent Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu away, he received the news sent by Ma Yongcheng.

is similar to Xia Chen's confession, and it is indeed not involved in the mothers in the palace. Queen Xia and Uncle Qingyang, who were originally suspected, were taken out, but they were not completely taken out. Although the queen mother and Qingyang Bo were not involved in the case and did not know about it, they would still be affected by Xia Chen!

Zhang Zhijie only planned to play these truthfully to Emperor Zhengde, as for what Emperor Zhengde planned to do in the end, it was Emperor Zhengde's business!

Zhang Zhijie breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, this case has not deviated after all, and it has almost been tried. Although Wang Yuan still didn't speak, as the investigation of Wang Yuan deepened, Zhang Zhijie came up with an idea, that is, there was probably no one behind Wang Yuan to instruct him!

This also reflects Zhang Zhijie's doubts at the beginning, those officials and the Xia family are just interests, and now that the Xia family has been completely destroyed, there is no reason for them to risk the lives of the whole family to plan such a shocking case.

Although there have been officials who have impeached themselves recently, those officials are not for the Xia family, but think that they are settling old accounts after returning to Beijing, and they are doing it for self-preservation.

But Wang Yuan is obviously an exception, his relationship with the Xia family has not been found out, and Zhang Zhijie also feels very puzzled as to why he would sacrifice his life to avenge the Xia family.

Now that Xia Chen has confessed, Wei Bin has also confessed, only Wang Yuan has not confessed. Zhang Zhijie came to the torture room again, and Wang Yuan at this time could no longer look at him, and he was very miserable.

The continuous torture made him not have a piece of good meat on his body, but Wang Yuan gritted his teeth and did not beg for mercy or confess, this kind of perseverance made Zhang Zhijie also feel a little moved.

Seeing that the Admiral had come in, the commander of the Thousand Households temporarily stopped, and said with some shame: "My lord, my subordinates are not doing well, Wang Yuan still didn't speak, but don't worry, he is not far from opening." After all, it is the body of a reader, although the will is very strong, but the body can no longer stand up, and it is about to hallucinate! ”

Zhang Zhijie nodded, came to Wang Yuan and sat down, looking at Wang Yuan's miserable appearance, Zhang Zhijie was a little puzzled: "This governor never understands why you just don't want to speak?" ”

"If you think you'll get away with it, you're wrong! Because Xia Chen and Wei Bin have already confessed, which means that your guilt is beyond doubt! So Ben Dou is very puzzled, since this is all the case, what is the need for you to persevere? ”

Wang Yuan looked at the front weakly, stunned, and didn't seem to hear Zhang Zhijie's words at all. Zhang Zhijie shook his head helplessly and said: "This governor really doesn't understand, the Xia family in Fujian is just a group of bandits, bringing disaster to the country and the people, what is worthy of you like this?" ”

"Disaster to the country and the people? I think you are the one who will bring disaster to the country and the people! Wang Yuan still didn't look up at Zhang Zhijie, but his lips moved weakly.

Although his voice was dry and low, Zhang Zhijie still heard it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, not afraid that you would open your mouth to refute, but afraid that you would not speak.

"Ben Governor has brought disaster to the country and the people? This is the first time I've heard of this! This governor eradicated Liu Jin's eunuch party, and the two rebellions were suppressed, and it was the first time I heard someone scolding this governor for bringing disaster to the country and the people! Zhang Zhijie said lightly.

"You do have merit, but you destroyed the Xia family in Fujian, suppressed the bandits Jinghai, blocked the sea, and sent the imperial court's fleet to the sea for trade. For hundreds of people along the coast, you are a disaster to the country and the people! Wang Yuan turned his head and stared at Zhang Zhijie and said slowly.
