The trial of Yang Cong's case seems a bit too forced. It feels a bit far-fetched to have any personal and physical evidence. It is really a bit reluctant to punish a third-rank official of the current dynasty based on the reasons he listed.

At least, several old officials present could see that he was deliberately dealing with Tu Dashan or Ningbo Tu family. From the perspective of personal evidence and physical evidence, except for the Longjiang Shipyard section, the others were really not very convincing.

They all knew that the wealthy maritime merchants and the Tu family of Ningbo were indeed involved in pirates and Japanese pirates, but the evidence listed by Yang Cong was really not enough to convict others.

So, what did Yang Cong think?

He hurriedly caught Xie Shixian and tried it, and then took the opportunity to catch Tu Dashan and asked, was it just to disgust Yan Song?

Of course not, he is really ready to deal with the Yuyao Xie family and the Ningbo Tu family.

As for personal evidence, physical evidence, confessions, etc., it is really full of loopholes and far-fetched.

However, he thought that these were enough!

Because these things are not for these old men in the officialdom, but for Jiajing.

There are many things that can be seen at a glance by these old people in the officialdom, but Jiajing cannot tell them.

For example, Xie Shixian's confession, from the eyes of these old men in the officialdom, it can be seen at a glance that his purpose was not to examine Xie Shixian, but to implicate Tu Dashan.

You guys, what you did is too obvious. You just asked a few questions about what Xie Shixian himself had done, and then he pulled it on Tu Dashan. What is the meaning?

Are you trying to examine Xie Shixian or Tu Dashan?

Isn’t you clearly trying to implicate Tu Dashan?

However, what Jiajing saw was different.

Xie Shixian, what is it?

Just a candid, what's the point?

Is Tu Dashan the Governor Yingtian the court official good? Can Jiajing have Xie Shixian, a "grassman" in his eyes? He will definitely subconsciously believe that Xie Shixian is just a witness, and Tu Dashan is the main culprit.

In this way, the nature is different. Since Xie Shixian is just a witness and Tu Dashan is the main culprit, then when Xie Shixian is examined, the issue of Tu Dashan must be the main focus. As for Xie Shixian, a "grassman", what he committed is enough to punish him, and what is there to pay attention to?

To put it bluntly, it is a matter of concern. The jury officials present may all believe that Xie Shixian and Tu Dashan are the successors of the Xie family in Yuyao, and the other is the successor of the Tu family in Ningbo. Although their status is different, their identities are similar. In Jiajing's eyes, Xie Shixian is a grass man. Tu Dashan is a third-rank court official. Can the identity and status be the same?

Jiajing's focus must be Tu Dashan, a third-rank court official. As for Xie Shixian, the second-generation ancestor, in Jiajing's eyes, there is probably no concept of the second-generation ancestor. Can people pay attention to Xie Shixian?

It was from Jiajing's perspective or view that Yang Cong implicated the big fish behind Tu Dashan with Xie Shixian, an irrelevant second-generation ancestor.

This method of involvement is indeed a bit far-fetched in the eyes of the old man in the officialdom, but it is normal in the eyes of Jiajing, an emperor who is not familiar with the world.

Yang Cong not only wanted to use this matter to deal with the Xie family of Yuyao and the Tu family of Ningbo, but also wanted to use this matter to implicate Yan Song!

Even if he doesn't say Tu Dashan, he will lead him to Yan Song next.

At this moment, Tu Dashan actually carried out the cabinet chief Yan Song again, just in time!

Yang Cong pretended to be angry and embarrassed and said, "What do you mean by the chief minister of the cabinet, Lord Yan? Did you bribe Yan Song and Lord Yan? You said, how much money did Lord Yan charge you, why should you stand up for you?"

Damn, is there anyone who says that?

As soon as he said this, Tu Dashan was stunned, but several jury officials were also stunned.

It is not a secret in the officialdom that Yan Song accepted bribes, but everyone just said this in private, who would use it in court?

He is the chief minister of the cabinet, and there is no evidence. It would be strange if you say that he accepts bribes and doesn’t deal with them!

This Governor seems to be having a fight with the cabinet chief Yan.

This is the top-level battle at the Ming Dynasty, and how many people dare to participate in it.

Several jury officials were stunned. He was the chief minister of the cabinet, and he was the vengeful Yan Song. Governor General, don’t you do this, okay, we can’t stand it!

Tu Dashan was also stunned. Yang Cong was not in the way with the cabinet chief Yan. Of course he knew, but he never thought that this guy actually ran here to challenge Yan Song. Damn, he said directly that Yan Song accepted bribes, which was a rhythm of breaking up!

Only then did he realize that he had been involved in the top-level struggle of the court. What he was fighting for was not the Southeast, but the whole world. The local snake on the southeast ground was at best a chess piece.

This chess piece cannot be used, and it may be broken all over!

He shook his head quickly and said, "Sir, I didn't bribe Lord Yan. I just said that Lord Yan will uphold justice."

Yang Cong pretended to be curious and said, "Don't you know what you are doing? Is this a trivial matter for indulging and instructing Japanese pirates to plunder the place? Why did Lord Yan stand up for you for no reason? Do you have any secrets between you? Or, this matter was instructed by Yan Song!"

Damn, this becomes more and more outrageous.

This matter was indeed instructed by Yan Song, but Yan Song was also instructed by former governor Zhao Wenhua, not Tu Dashan, who was in charge of the former governor of Zhejiang, rather than governor of Yingtian.

Of course, the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better. How could Yan Song directly instruct Tu Dashan?

Therefore, even Tu Dashan didn't know that the mastermind behind this matter was Yan Song.

He only knew that the Governor did have the ability to challenge his backer Yan Song, and the two sides seemed to have started a head-on confrontation again, and he seemed to have become a pawn for the confrontation between the two sides!

He also played chess, so he naturally knew the fate of the chess piece. Governor Yingtian and the Minister of War of Nanjing were indeed a big official, and he was enough to call the wind and rain in the local area to control the overall situation. However, compared with the senior officials of the court, it was nothing at all.

If they really fight, the Six Ministers of Nanjing and even the Six Ministers of Beijing are just chess pieces. He is a minister of Nanjing and the Six Ministers of Nanjing, that's nothing!

Zhao Wenhua is a very obvious example. He is the governor of Zhejiang and Zhili. There are several officials in the entire Ming Dynasty. In front of others, he is just a pawn. When he needs to abandon his car to protect his commander, he has no choice but to break it by himself to ensure his family's safety.

He originally thought that this matter would end with Zhao Wenhua's death. After all, Zhao Wenhua was dead, and the Governor of Zhejiang Zhi had also replaced him, and the other party had already won.

He originally thought that Yang Cong just wanted to give him a warning. After all, it was already a common practice in the officialdom that the new governor had to take office, so it was not surprising that the new governor had to deal with him.

But he never thought that the game of chess was not over yet, and he unknowingly fell into the game.
