Zhou Shuren got off the carriage with a normal expression. Master Lin walked over directly and said in a low voice: "Someone wants to join you."
Zhou Shuren had already expected that the cases in Chuanzhou were not limited to Shi Zhifu. Many people who had been promoted in the early years had entered the capital. He glanced around and sneered in his heart. He wanted to see who would jump out first.
Changzhi brought down the officials of Chuanzhou City, big and small, and imprisoned the boss of the An family, which aroused the nerves of many people, and they were deeply afraid that they would be next.
Zhou Shuren nodded to Master Lin to show that he knew what he was doing, walked to his seat and stood, waiting for the palace door to open.
Master Lin was relieved. It was not that his news was slow, but that someone was hiding it from him. Who allowed a daughter from the Lin family to marry into the Zhouhou Mansion.
The curve of Zhou Shuren's mouth became wider and wider, and he thought that Changzhi did a good job, and he was quick and ruthless without giving the people involved in the case in Beijing a chance to react. Now he is waiting for the evidence.
At the beginning of the morning court, Zhou Shuren was confident, not only about joining him, but also about joining Changzhi. Unfortunately, the Zhou family had never received bribes and had never been in contact with the law. The servants were all very honest and could not catch anything. There is no harm in taking part in his education and so on.
These excerpts were indifferent to Zhou Shuren, and he was a little speechless.
Those who consulted Zhou Shuren were also speechless. They wanted to charge him with the crime, but unfortunately they couldn't. If they really thought that the censor was blindly asking people all day long, they would be completely wrong. Some of the excerpts were ordered by the emperor, and some of them really had evidence, and they were just talking nonsense. There are very few people, and there are also those who frame them.
Shen Zhou Shuren's confession was not very strong, but Shen Changzhi was accused of many crimes, such as being audacious and accepting bribes. In the end, he was summed up to be punishable.
Among these rumors, some of them were not busy with Zhou Shuren for a long time, and had been trying to win Zhou Shuren over. Now that Changzhi has given them a chance, they can't wait to say that Changzhi has a disobedient heart.
The emperor listened patiently, and Zhou Shuren did not say anything to refute.
This made many people realize that something was wrong. Master Wei and other in-laws still refuted it, but Zhou Shuren did not refute a word.
The emperor gradually stopped talking, "Have you finished talking?"
For a moment, the wind blew through the hall, and all the ministers fell silent.
The emperor took the booklet from the prince's hand, opened it and said, "Now that you have finished speaking, it is my turn to speak."
Zhou Shuren glanced at the brochure, then turned his head and glanced around the people who had just asked about him and Chang Zhi, grinning evilly, the little old man was very provocative.
The ministers I met, "!!"
The emperor cleared his throat and focused his gaze, "I have a list in my hand. The Sichuan imperial examination has been a cancer for many years due to fraud. I was shocked after reading it. This list is stained with blood."
After a pause, he continued: "The Chuanzhou case has lasted for decades. Some people have gone to Beijing to hold important positions. I gave Zhou Changzhi the power to mobilize the garrison. I allowed him to clear Chuanzhou and make the world bright for his students. He jumped out today. Participating in him is like valuing me, so why are some of you afraid?"
The lucky people in the hall had sweat on their foreheads.
The emperor looked down at the booklet, "Zhuang Lingping, Shen Huailin..."
As the names of the ministers were read out one by one, there were three who could go to the morning court, and the rest were not qualified to go to the court. The three ministers in the palace knelt on the ground and cried out for injustice.
The emperor smiled, "Do you think it will be okay if time is separated from the past? I firmly believe that it is not because you don't report the arrival of someone before the time comes."
The guards who obeyed the order from outside came in and dragged the three of them out of the hall without giving them a chance to continue to complain.
Zhou Shuren thought to himself that these people never interacted with Mr. An, and these three people rarely interacted with each other. Unfortunately, it was all in vain in front of the evidence.
The emperor stood up and said, "The Sichuan imperial examination case is shocking. It is the largest imperial examination fraud since the founding of the People's Republic of China. I hate it deeply and must eradicate the cancer."
The emperor did not emphasize it, and the ministers also felt the emperor's determination.
After the morning session, Zhou Shuren looked at the people who were not dealing with him and said, "The writing is good."
The ministers who have not left, "..."
This is too provocative!
Lord Wei, "!!"
Come on, why does Zhou Hou need him to worry? He thought to himself that the emperor not only trusted Zhou Hou, but also trusted Zhou Hou's heirs. This trust made him speechless.
Zhou Shuren and Rong Chuan left together. When everyone took a look, they realized that they had ignored King Qin. From beginning to end, King Qin never spoke. What did King Qin represent? It basically represents the emperor's attitude.
Rong Chuan said: "Dad, the fourth brother will inevitably let something slip through the net, so he must be extra careful about his safety."
Zhou Shuren didn't know. "I'm worried too. I can only hope that the emperor's people can protect him."
It's great to catch them all in one go, and the counterattack from behind is also fierce. Chang Zhi has gathered all the hatred. Now there are too many people who want to kill Chang Zhi.
In Chuanzhou, the entire city is still under military control. People rarely go out on the streets except for necessary purchases. Large families are even like quails, fearing that their homes will also be ransacked.
Changzhi sorted out the evidence. His neck was stiff after sitting for too long, and his face looked very tired.
Ding Jue said: "Sir, you only have two hours of rest every day recently. Would you like to rest first?"
Changzhi looked at the ledgers in the room and said, "No, I have to sort it out before the end of Qiu Wei."
Ding Jue frowned, "We don't have enough manpower."
Changzhi also knew that the Qian family's teenage children, who were good at accounting, were all brought in to keep accounts. "Hey, it's not easy for my dad."
Faced with accounting calculations all day long, he would rather read more books than calculate more accounts. The whole summary made him dizzy.
Ding Jue followed the master and often heard the master talking about Zhou Hou, "Your Excellency has shared the worries for the Marquis today."
Chang Zhi thought of the money that had been confiscated from the house. He hadn't even finished counting it yet. There were countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings, especially An's money. "The money from An's house was bloody."
Ding Jue has suffered from profiteering, "They should go to the eighteenth level of hell."
Changzhi nodded in agreement. The An family's sins were too deep. "Did An Ao bring him back?"
Ding Jue, "I have brought him back. Why do you pay so much attention to him?"
The adult would ask when he had time, and he also paid special attention to An Ao.
Chang Zhi, "My younger brother helped a child, and the grade An Ao replaced was Lu Jiaqing's father's."
After Ding Jue was surprised, he said, "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end."
Changzhi wanted to rest for a while and then started chatting, "This kid is a talented general. Now that his background is clear, he should join the palace as a guard. I saw him last time in Chuanzhou. This kid should have come back to collect evidence."
Thinking about it makes him depressed, he waited all night in vain.
Ding Jue blinked, this kid is so lucky, he has caught the emperor's eye.
Officials in the capital all knew that the emperor had given Zhou Changzhi power, and those who had any thoughts stopped. They paid more attention to the Sichuan imperial examination case. They all had their own news channels. The more they learned about it, the more shocking it became. No wonder the emperor was so angry that he wanted to catch them all.
Zhouhou Mansion stood on the crest of the wave again because of Changzhi, Zhulan restricted the children to stay at home, and the servants of the entire Hou Mansion rarely went out except for shopping.
Several members of the Li family also pushed the invitation post. The door of the Zhouhou Mansion is half closed. Unless Chang Zhi returns to Beijing, this state will continue.
Time passed quickly, and the three exams in Qiuwei were over in a blink of an eye.
Chang Zhong still didn't know that his fourth brother had done something that shocked the court. Even the stench on his body when he walked out of the examination room could not affect his good mood. After the results came out, he could go home.
