There was dead silence in the hall.

After a while, Cai Mao continued: "Then what does Your Majesty plan to do with those big cannibals you summoned?"

What Cai Mao said was very sinister.

He was telling Zhao Ning that the person was summoned by your Zhao Guan family, and the court had already decided to do business with him, and now you have to deal with him again.

Not to mention the business, it’s hard to deal with it emotionally!

"It's not for me to judge this matter. How should the people of the Song Dynasty deal with injuries? That's how to deal with it." Zhao Ning said, "This matter was specially brought to the court for discussion. It is already a problem for everyone present.

There is no need to waste your time, and there is no need to waste my time, otherwise, what is the use of Kaifeng Mansion Yamen!"

Some ministers thought in their hearts: The Zhao Guan family is really stubborn. They are giving up the millions of dollars they put in front of them just for a trivial civil dispute!

The emperor was furious, and no one dared to say anything more.

I don't know why, but Cai Mao and Cai Xianggong looked particularly brave today.

After remaining silent for a moment, Cai Mao continued: "Your Majesty will deal with those big cannibals in accordance with the laws of the Song Dynasty. I have nothing to say."

After saying this, he changed the topic and said: "I heard that this matter also involves court officials. I wonder how your majesty will deal with it?"

Gao Qiu in the crowd glanced at Cai Mao and cursed in his heart: Old fox!

Zhao Guanjia said: "How do you think we should deal with it?"

"I don't know much about this case and dare not make any arbitrary conclusions." Cai Mao said, "Since your Majesty insists on using the law to deal with the cannibals, the officials involved should naturally be dealt with according to the court regulations and the law. They must not

Partiality, this is my humble opinion."

"Lieutenant Gao."

"I'm here."

"Tell me about the situation."

Gao Qiu said: "Qin Xi, a doctor in the official department, and Li Mi, the Tokyo army patrol officer, used their power for personal gain and protected the prisoners after committing cannibalism and wounding. They have confessed. Qin Xi was the principal offender and Li Mi was the accomplice. Li Mi was concealed.

use."

This is not a secret anymore, it was already spread last night.

Gao Qiu knew that Cai Mao was pretending to be stupid, but he just wanted Gao Qiu to tell the story in public.

Gao Qiu was also very cooperative.

Everyone in the hall knew that Qin Xi had messed up, but when they heard Gao Qiu's statement, they were still very cooperative and felt shocked and angry.

Everyone in the hall started talking.

After a while, it became quiet.

The current situation is that Qin Xi is set up, Gao Qiu is responsible for adding firewood, and Cai Mao is responsible for lighting the fire.

The one who really wanted to be burned was Qin Xi, a doctor in the official department who was stuck in a key position in the official department. Secretly, many people came to help Qin Hui.

Cai Mao said: "I dare to ask, why did Qin Xi suddenly appear, and why did he protect the criminals?"

Wang Boyan on the side had already realized that Cai Mao wanted to give Qin Xi a heavy blow.

Qin Xi's sudden appearance can be regarded as a coincidence, and the matter can be resolved smoothly.

But after showing up, what is the motive for shielding criminals?

Shielding criminals is, at best, using power for personal gain, which is considered a fault.

But what’s the motivation behind it?

Cai Mao is going to dig deeper.

Gao Qiu said: "According to the confession of the main criminal Qin Xi, he wanted to do some business with the big cannibal."

As soon as Gao Qiu said these words, discussions began again in the hall, and some people even began to criticize Qin Xi's shameless behavior with righteous words.

Because everyone knows that Da Shiren was summoned by the imperial court to do business with the imperial court.

Qin Xi's behavior of intercepting people first and reaching a deal secretly was competing for business with the imperial court and violated the "Regulations on the Administration of Officials of the Song Dynasty".

This is a bigger crime than just covering up the prisoner.

To protect the prisoner just now, Qin Hui's people begged for mercy and exerted their strength. For Qin Hui's sake, the governors of the Zhengshitang would not go too far. Qin Xi would be demoted at most, and he would be promoted after the matter was over. It was harmless.

But competing for business with the imperial court is intriguing.

"This, this, this... this is breaking the rules!" Mo Chou, the Minister of Civil Affairs, jumped out, "Your Majesty, this is a very serious matter. It is embezzling state money!"

Zhao Ning waved his hand and said: "How do the officials think this matter should be handled?"

Lu Yihao then came out and said: "I feel that Qin Xi should be dismissed, never hired, and imprisoned for three years."

Cai Mao said: "I second the proposal."

Qian Yuqing came out and said: "I think it is enough to demote him."

Zhao Ding came out and said: "I think it is enough to demote him."

Zhao Ning thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhao, please handle this matter. I don't want to ask any more questions."

"yes."

Lu Yihao and Cai Mao glanced at Zhao Ding at the same time.

They knew that Zhao Ding did not want to intensify the conflict between the Prime Minister and Zhizhi, and that Zhao Ding was trying to balance all parties.

Qin Hui has suffered in the past two years. How do you know that after Qin Hui came back, he would not send people to dig up Cai Mao and Lu Yihao's affairs, and then cause trouble?

Now that the battle is going on on the northern front, there must be stability within the court.

This matter has aroused a lot of heated discussion in the capital. Many officials originally wanted to contact these big cannibals, but now they have given up the idea, at least for the time being.

Three days later, Kaifeng Mansion Yamen.

After careful interrogation by the Kaifeng Mansion, Pu Sangyuan and others ended the lawsuit with a compensation of 500 yuan.

This is also in line with the laws of the Song Dynasty, as long as both the plaintiff and the defendant are willing to go private.

In fact, the direct consequences of this case of cannibalism are not serious.

It just caused an old man to be frightened and a young man to be injured.

As Qin Xi said, this matter can be turned into a big deal and a trivial matter.

No, the big cannibal paid for the compensation himself, and he didn’t even have to be detained.

But the indirect impact of this incident is very large.

First, Qin Xi was deposed.

Secondly, this caused serious dissatisfaction among the Great Eaters towards the Song Dynasty.

That day, as soon as Pu Sangyuan and others left the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen, they were asked to leave.

The person who invited them was none other than Qian Yuqing, and Zhang Tao was also there.

"You guys have been wronged these days." Qian Yuqing said politely.

Pu Sangyuan said dissatisfied: "Qian Shangguan, you invited us here, and now your country has detained us and finally extorted us five hundred guan. Is this your country's way of hospitality?"

"A few of them violated the laws of the Song Dynasty, and everything was done in accordance with the laws."

"Does that mean that next, you will rob all our money and then kill us?" Pu Shouchong said even more dissatisfied.

"If we do this, we will destroy the order of the Celestial Dynasty. When businessmen from other countries come here, some people will find excuses to kill people. Then who will dare to do business with our Song Dynasty?" Qian Yuqing explained patiently,
