Zhu Qizhen was still silent and his expression was extremely calm.

However, now, this calmness has become indifferent in the eyes of others.

The Minister of Justice, just finish it!

The left-level censor Yang Shan was also forced into a desperate situation. If he could still deal with it in normal times, but today, there is no way out in front of all officials and the people.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is wronged!"

Yang Shan was full of tears and miserable, but received no response.

Zhu Qiyu was preparing to interrupt the interrogation several times, but when he saw that Zhu Qizhen was still moving, he had to sigh secretly.

In his opinion, it was too much to treat the six ministers and ministers like this.

Even if these people are greedy for money and have been working hard over the years, they can still be lenient. At least... they should not be humiliated in front of everyone...

These are scholars, and they are the most accomplished among scholars.

Seeing that they were humiliated in public, what would all officials in the world think? What would tens of thousands of scholars in the world think?

How can the court be stable if the king and his subjects are separated from one’s heart and one’s virtue?

However, whenever he mustered up the courage to stand up, he saw Zhu Qizhen's cold and emotionless eyes, and he couldn't help but swallow what he was about to say again.

This is a murderous look!

When the emperor sat here, the monarch and his subjects had completely broken up.

He suddenly remembered what the emperor had said to him before, those novel and advanced consciousness, those who were contrary to his cognition...the theory of the monarch and minister...

Just imagine, what would happen if these people did not die today?

They were determined to unite to oppose the new policy. At that time, the monarch and ministers were still disloyal and moral, and it was even possible that the emperor's imperial edict could not be left in the Forbidden City!

At this time, I remembered a sentence that the emperor often asked, what would have happened if I had been myself...

Do you have this determination... to kill yourself?

Yang Shan begged hard, miserable, but Yuan Bin did not intend to spare him.

"Since you are always talking about the ancestral system, Emperor Taizu's great edict clearly states that officials' corruption of 60 taels of silver is directly a death penalty. In addition, Emperor Taizu also specifically emphasized that from the Secretariat and the six ministries to local prefectures and counties, no matter who they are, they will never tolerate them once they are found. Anyone who violates the offender will be punished by lingchi, castration, and Zhu tribes according to the amount of corruption. In addition, in order to avoid causing stolen officials to harm the people, different stolen officials will be punished with criminal laws such as peeling and putting straw, picking tendons, cutting fingers, cutting hands and cutting knees. I don't know if Lord Yang is enough to execute the criterion. If it is more than 60 taels, it may be necessary to lingchi, peeling and filling grass, or even killing the clan. This is the law of the ancestors. Lord Yang, what else do you have to say?"

After hearing this, Yang Shan's face changed drastically. He looked at the eyes that wanted to kill him, subconsciously looked at the people outside, showing a pitiful expression.

The emperor cannot count on it, and there are still people. The infamous reputation of the Embroidered Uniform Guards has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. If they receive support from the people, perhaps...

However, he was disappointed again, and the people looked at him without any sympathy.

At this moment, he suddenly realized something.

Although the people have a natural sympathy for the weak, they hate corrupt officials even more. On weekdays, he, the left censor, is a good official who upholds justice for others, but once this window paper is opened, it will be completely different.

What’s even more annoying is that the Jinyiwei searched the house and invited someone to join him, so that there was no sign of hiding!

Moreover, Yuan Bin moved out of Emperor Taizu, which made these people suddenly change their positions.

Since you are innocent, why not check it out?

It seems that the people are very interested in this and have a eager attitude to try it out.

In March, the afternoon sun was very gentle, but Yang Shan was soaked in cold sweat!

On weekdays, I always be kind and moral, but in private... it is really...

Yuan Bin said coldly: "Come here!"

"exist!"

"Send an order to ask those who are surrounded by Lord Yang's house to take action immediately! In addition, all relevant personnel from the Three Laws should check it. Of course, we are the personal army of the emperor, representing the emperor's intention. We must do things fairly and we must tell evidence. We must never wrongly accuse good people. Therefore, we must ask more people to witness them!"

"yes!"

Yang Shan was already shocked. He realized that he was finished and hurriedly said, "Commander Yuan... I will forgive others if I have to..."

Suddenly, he realized that the emperor and the others were watching!

This sentence means... I have admitted it...

Yuan Bin smiled at him: "Where does the money you greedy for? In the final analysis, you are slapping the people. You want me to spare you, but who will forgive those poor people? People like you have been majestic for so many years. Now the emperor is preparing to implement the new policy and ask you to give up some benefits, so you can't stand it, but you still want to overturn the verdict. If you really are a clean and honest person, it's fine, but you are just like you, why do you use to overturn the verdict?"

Yang Shan said with a sad face: "I...I...I can..."

"It's too late!"

Yuan Bin said lightly: "Now the Jinyiwei has taken action, and I can't help you. If you copy out dirty silver today, then according to the ancestor system, you will be punished as much as you want. If you can't copy out dirty silver, I, Yuan Bin, would like to apologize for death!"

Yang Shan looked depressed and his body was already weak.

Yuan Bin ignored him anymore, but turned around and his eyes fell on Xue Xuan, the minister of Dali Temple.

Xue Xuan was already shocked. The Minister of Justice and the Censor of the Zuodu, who were sitting here just now, were all tried with him, were gone in a blink of an eye!

The Jinyiwei... is so cruel!

Or, it should be said that the emperor is too cruel!

Because the Jinyiwei is the emperor's minions, they have no will to catch or bite, it is the emperor's intention.

And now, it's his turn.

Xue Xuan's eyes were cold, and he looked at Yuan Bin with a look of alertness.

Yuan Bin stared at him for a while, then asked, "Mr. Xue, do you still need to continue the trial?"

Xue Xuan gritted his teeth and said that the three departments were going to be tried. Both of them were collapsed. So what about the three departments?

However, if this case is not tried, Yan Shenggong will fall into the hands of the Jinyiwei and will not be able to escape death.

As a scholar, it is the responsibility to do your best to protect the bloodline of Saint Kong!

Next, the Jinyiwei will definitely continue to take action against him. Although he is not as good as the other two, he is really honest, the Jinyiwei is not only open and upright, and the dirty things behind him are their best.

Seeing his expression of confusion, Yuan Bin smiled faintly and said, "If Lord Xue turned around now, it would be too late."

However, these words aroused the anger in Xue Xuan's heart. He stared at Yuan Bin and said word by word: "What is my official's head? The three officials' trial is the emperor's will, so of course I will continue!"

Yuan Bin was stunned for a moment, and then said, "But, the Minister of Justice and the Censor of the Zuodu have already..."

"Then let the left minister of the Ministry of Justice and the right censor of the Censor of the Ministry of Justice take the lead!"

"Wang Wen, the right censor of the Censorate, is related to the Jiangnan smuggling case and is currently in prison of the Ministry of Justice."

"The right censor is not here, and there are left and right deputy censors and left and right deputy censors. The same is true. If the official is not here, the young minister of Dali Temple is on the top of the Dali Temple. If the young minister of Dali Temple is not here, there is also the temple chief clerk... In short, the three officials must have a result of the trial!"

Faced with Xue Xuan's toughness, Yuan Bin's face slowly calmed down. After a while, he said, "Since Lord Xue still needs to continue the trial, I will listen to the emperor. I am very busy now and have to search the house. There are countless stolen officials in the Three Laws, and I am still waiting to deal with it!"

After saying that, he turned around and left with the man.

Xue Xuan was stunned for a moment, feeling like a dream. He thought that he would use some means on himself next!

Unexpectedly, Yuan Bin seemed to have no interest in putting him in the blame.

In fact, Yuan Bin had already checked him out.

But the problem is... I really can't find the problem!

Xue Xuan is truly honest and honest as an official. This person is serious and has been promoted step by step with his political achievements and contributions.

He hated the Jinyiwei because he couldn't stand the Jinyiwei's domineering arrogance and his vicious means of treating scholars and officials!

But now, thinking about the two people around me just now, I couldn't help feeling a little disgusted.

It’s so shameful that I’m actually engaging in such a person!

Bang!

He was angry, and he patted the auspicious tree and shouted: "Today, the three judicial departments have already achieved a result. If you have any objections, say it quickly. Otherwise, I will make a judgment like this!"

In fact, he also knew that Yan Shenggong might have some problems.

Although he disdains the ugly behaviors of the scholar-officials on the surface, he cannot not know about it.

However, as a scholar, even if he is unconscience, he has to be stubborn.

As long as there is no conclusive evidence to directly prove that Yan Shenggong is guilty, he will be sentenced to the slightest extent.

His son has already recognized the complaints from the people.

Jinan Wei had a bad intention, and his son-in-law recognized him.

As for the other miscellaneous things, someone will take responsibility, so Yan Shenggong is still responsible for his misunderstanding.

However, this missed observation is a bit outrageous...

No matter what, there is no direct evidence at the moment, so it is not considered a confusion of black and white. This is his bottom line and his last stubbornness.

The wealth of Yansheng Gong’s Mansion was handed over to the state treasury. Only the title of Yansheng Gong can be retained, so that the hope in the hearts of scholars in the world can be retained.

As for the new policy, it seems to be completely arbitrary. If the emperor insists on implementing it, it will probably hurt the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!

At this time, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice and the left deputy minister of the Censorate rushed over and sat on his head.

When Xue Xuan saw that the three judicial departments had arrived, she was ready to announce the final verdict.
To be continued...
