Shen Ao held the Zhongzhi in his hand, wore a winged hat, wore a purple sè official uniform, and took the guard of honor of the Qin Mission, and dismounted in front of the Criminal Department.

The last time I didn't know which bastard impeached him for riding a horse, Shen Ao listened to it, but he didn't go to the sedan chair anymore, hmph, he just wanted to ride a horse to show him every day, disgusting him.

Led by the waiter of the Criminal Department, the people from the Criminal Department came out to greet them, and they didn't dare to come out; Who would have thought that just a few days ago, Shen Ao was still a felony on trial in the Criminal Department, but now he has become a Qincha, and the minister of the Criminal Department Shangshu Wang was ruined in an instant?

This guy in front of him really can't afford to offend! The people in the criminal department were all uneasy, and there were several errand servants, who had even torn with Shen Ao in the criminal department, and cut Shen Ao's hand instead, almost about to be tortured to him. Now that I think about it, I am really glad that if I had moved a finger of this guy who would have taken revenge that day, would I still have my life?

Shen Ao only nodded at their jaws, ignoring them, but when he walked in front of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, he smiled at him and said, "I don't know who the adults are?" ”

The squire hurriedly said, "Xiaguan Zhou Lang." ”

It stands to reason that Shilang and Siqing are both members of the three grades, this Zhou Lang is also simply, and directly calls himself a subordinate official, which shows his fear of Shen Ao, in fact, he is a Xiǎo Shilang, who does not rely on the left and right in the capital, and there is no big tree to enjoy the shade, let alone the emperor's appreciation, this life to the level of Shilang is also the end, Shen Ao is different, both His Majesty's favor, and the old party cadre, he is already a Siqing at a young age, and he is a marquis, and his future is limitless.

Shen Ao smiled at him and said, "Zhou Shilang, Shen is here to congratulate you in advance, you will be promoted in the future, but you must remember to invite me to drink." ”

Zhou Lang was surprised and delighted, and thought to himself, isn't this Gaoyang Marquis already hearing something from His Majesty? It would be great if you could really take it one step higher.

Shangshu and Shilang, although they are only one step apart, but they are very different in the ministry, if Zhou Lang does not covet Shangshu, it is a lie, but the position of Shangshu in the Criminal Department is not related to it after all, and there is no background, where can he get him?

Zhou Lang's heart went up and down, and led Shen Ao into the yatang, Shen Ao was already familiar with the road here, when he sat behind the presiding judge's case, Jiang Min had already come first, sitting on Shen Ao's right side, he hadn't slept well in the past few days, in order to sort out Wang Zhichen's case, he was busy and tired, and he was a little lazy in today's trial.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Zongcai, the king of Jin, came over with his head held high, saw Shen Ao, and said with a smile: "Shen Ao, you are not willing to be lonely recently." ”

Shen Ao stood up and arched his hand at him, and said with a smile: "The prince's sentence seems to have stopped recently. In today's trial of the case of Wang Zhichen, does the prince have any advice? ”

Zhao Zong haha: "This is not about this king, you can judge how you want, this king is just supervising on behalf of the queen mother." ”

Shen Ao had no intention of letting King Jin chuckle, and nodded his head: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, please sit down."

After saying that, Shen Ao also sat down immediately, frowned solemnly, and slapped the wood in his hand fiercely: "Take the king's minister!" ”

The three classes of officials together tapped the ground rhythmically with water and fire sticks, and sang in a low voice: "Wei...... Wu ......"

Immediately, Wang Zhichen, who had a miserable face, was brought up, and was detained for a few days, although he still enjoyed the treatment of a scholar, but he was still obviously lost a lot, and he had heard the news outside.

Since he was certain to die, Wang Zhichen still had a bit of courage after all, he wore a new coat and hat sent by his family, and under the escort of the soap officer, he reluctantly cheered up Jing Shen and came in.

Entering the familiar yatang, seeing many former colleagues and officials, there were thousands of emotions in his heart, just a few days ago, he was still sitting in the position where Shen Ao was sitting now, overlooking the steps, judging the life and death of many people, and today, the phoenix that landed was not as good as Ji, he first glanced at the waiter Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang immediately turned his face to the side, and couldn't bear to look at him. He went to look at the servants on the side, and some of the men who had been around him before hung their heads and sneered at him.

It's still the former criminal department lobby, but the people here have changed beyond recognition.

"I've seen King Jin, Lord Shen, Lord Jiang." Wang Zhichen bowed to the three of them, but his face was still a little reserved, in front of his former colleagues, he was really powerless to beg for mercy and cry, not to mention that in today's situation, what is the use of begging for mercy?

Zhao Zong suddenly picked up the shocking wood in his hand and slapped it fiercely, shouting: "Bold, why don't you kneel when you see this king?" ”

Shen Ao originally wanted to shoot the shocking wood, but was stirred up by Zhao Zongyi, holding the shocking wood's hand hanging in the air, unable to put it down for a while, really speechless, this guy also said that it didn't matter, the prisoner just came in, he couldn't help but ask for a chā hand to handle the case, what is going on? Big brother, you are the deputy judge.

Wang Zhichen said unhurriedly: "Before the case is decided, the lower officials are still scholars, and when they arrive at this yatang, they don't have to kneel, this is an iron law handed down from the time of Emperor Taizu." ”

Wang Zhichen is very familiar with the matter of criminal names, where is Zhao Zong familiar with him, he has nothing to say for a while, but he feels very embarrassed, and said angrily: "You have committed a heinous crime, do you still want to sit and talk?" Hmph, this king is here, and you have a share of showing off your power here? Watch your head. ”

Shen Ao suddenly said, "Come on, give Lord Wang a seat." ”

Shen Ao's sentence came out rashly, so that Zhao Zong couldn't help but glance back at Shen Ao who was seated, and when he saw Shen Ao shaking his head at him, he felt a little frustrated, so he had to borrow the slope to get off the donkey and stop talking.

Someone moved a stool over, Wang Zhichen leaned over and sat down, and Shen Ao began to ask, "Who is in the hall?" ”

"The minister of the king of the criminal department."

"Ministers of the king, are you guilty?"

"The lower official is guilty."

Shen Ao was stunned, and he didn't expect Wang Zhichen to answer happily, so he said slowly: "Then tell me what crime you have committed." ”

Wang Zhichen said: "There is no conspiracy against poetry, and the lower officials are not guilty, but the lower officials admit their guilt for corruption, crowding out ministers, and embezzling land and property." ”

At this time, Wang Zhichen is smart, and he must not admit that he is rebellious, once he bears this relationship, it will be the consequence of raiding the family and destroying the family, several of his wives, sons, and parents and relatives, no one can be spared, so he can only avoid the important and light, and he can't admit the anti-poetry when he is killed, as for the others, he has indeed had many stains with Cai Jing over the years, and it doesn't hurt to bear them all, the big deal is just a death, at this time, his death alone is not terrible, At least he can save the lives of so many of his closest relatives.

Wang Zhichen raised his eyes, his eyes were unusually clear: "My lord is clear, the anti-poetry case, the lower official is indeed wronged, although I went to Cai's mansion for a banquet that day, but I was not drunk, and the talent of the lower official, it is impossible to make that poem, so please let the official family live, to bleed, is the blood of the lower official alone not enough?" ”

Wang Zhichen and Shen Ao both knew that these words were naturally addressed to Shen Ao, and their eyes were full of longing.

Shen Ao sighed and said, "You first confess to the crimes of embezzlement and embezzlement of land, who is involved, whose land and property is embezzled, and when...... You are not allowed to pull down any of these bits and pieces. Come on, record quickly. ”

Wang Zhichen nodded, and poured out all the bad deeds of the past, how to frame Zhongliang, and how to encroach on people's property, all of which were shocking, but he said it very calmly, and it took half an hour before he finally made it clear.

Shen Ao nodded, there are many charges here, some of which Jiang Min has also collected, and some of which are still written by Wang Zhichen himself, these charges alone are enough to make him finished.

After Wang Zhichen Jiāo was clear, Shen Ao glanced at the recorded Charge Division, and the Charge Division immediately took Wang Zhichen's self-confession scroll and asked Wang Zhichen to draw a charge, Wang Zhichen hesitated, and finally dipped his finger in red mud and pressed it.

Shen Ao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Come, the king's minister is guilty, strip him of his official uniform, and wait for me to show your majesty, and then punish him." ”

Zhao Zong couldn't help but say, "Lord Shen, why don't you ask about the anti-poetry case?" ”

Hearing the words of anti-poem, a trace of panic appeared in Wang Zhichen's eyes, and he looked helplessly at Shen Ao's side.

Shen Ao coughed and said slowly: "The anti-poetry case, I have secretly verified it, there are many doubts in it, it should be just gossip, since there is no real evidence, naturally I can't wronged Wang Zhichen." ”

Zhao Zong muttered: "You are the one who said that people recite anti-poems, and now it is you who say that people are wronged, bad people and good people, you have done it, but you asked me to come here to be embarrassed!" So saying, he turned his head and continued to charge the stake.

Wang Zhichen glanced at Shen Ao gratefully, bent his legs, knelt down and said: "Wang will always remember Lord Shen's kindness, Lord Shen, if there was something offended in the past, Wang can only repay it in the next life." ”

Then Wang Zhichen was stripped of his shirt and taken down.

Shen Ao announced the closure of the case, and together with the two deputy judges, he wrote a note and submitted it together with Wang Zhichen's confession, which was relieved, from becoming a prisoner to a perfect counterattack, the matter finally came to an end. It was inevitable that Zhao Zong would be invited to eat a meal that day, and today he couldn't get off the stage to teach this prince, and he still had to make amends, but although he was smiling on his face, he was still thinking about his heart in his heart, and he couldn't help but think: "At this time, what measures will Cai Jing take?" The old fox had already oiled the soles of his feet, and he didn't know how to get out next. He was drunk with Zhao Zong, and was helped home, lying down dizzily, and I don't know which lady was saying: "Really, even if you want to drink, you don't have to work so hard!" If we drink our bodies, who do we rely on? By the way, a family member of the king's minister came to say that he was grateful to you for saving his whole family, and said that our Shen family prince Wandai, hey, are you listening? Ah, what are you doing with me drunk? Liu Sheng is about to bring you water, let people see it, and teach others how to behave?
