One thousand and sixty-eight chapters take people(2/2)
Sun Piyang said: "Please check it out one by one."
Several officials came forward to see them one by one.
Sun Piyang walked to Xiao Yu and said, "Eunuch Xiao, you are here on behalf of Your Majesty, come and watch."
Xiao Yu said: "No need, our family can trust Lord Sun."
Sun Piyang said: "Eunuch Xiao, it's better to see it, otherwise someone would say that Sun had wronged others."
Xiao Yu immediately stood up to test it and said, "It's true that the seal is intact."
Sun Piyang nodded, then walked to the box and said, "Sun was ordered to preside over the Dali Temple and handled the cases of all officials impartially. He would never dare to have a place to be indulged in love with the clerk of scholar Lin in the past, but like all the officials, they respected his talents, respected his character, and admired his strong and strong mind."
"But it is such a gentleman who did such a thing for his own glory, wealth, fame and fortune, and then a censor impeached Xu's chief clerk, conscripted wealthy businessmen, and sweared in great orders. Both Lin scholars have. The censor reported the news that the news was heard, but I, Dali Temple, would have to bear the blame for one person. There must be evidence. These three sandalwood boxes are 12,000 taels of silver, used to sell official positions and titles, and make friends with powerful people."
The officials were silent.
Sun Piyang showed the case's confessions and other items one by one to the officials. Wu Shi, the left censor of the Censorate, looked at the file and frowned tightly.
Then Wu Shilai walked to the box with his hands behind his back and said, "Open the seal for me!"
Sun Piyang nodded, and several officials from Dali Temple used small knives to pick up the seal. Wu Shilai came to the big wooden box and opened the lid, but saw fifty taels of silver in the box, and each ingot was stacked.
Wu Shilai was about to check it out, but Sun Piyang directly took a ingot of silver and handed it to Wu Shilai. Wu Shilai took the silver and bit it, licked it with his tongue and stopped talking.
Sun Piyang showed the silver ingot to all the officials one by one.
Song Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said: "This is Su Wu's horse-shoe silver, which is privately cast by the folk counterfeit Taicang silver. This is not official silver, but also official silver distributed by the Ministry of Revenue. Where did Master Lin come from this more than 10,000 taels of silver?"
Shu Yinglong, the Minister of Works, directly checked the silver and said, "If it weren't for the truth, how could this kind of corrupt and abused power have been found! Isn't Dali Temple arresting people?"
Li Shida, the Minister of Justice, said: "Everyone, be careful not to be impatient. The case was indeed transferred to Dali Temple by the Ministry of Justice. As far as I know, Mr. Lin was not aware of this matter."
Shu Yinglong said, "I don't know. Will officials in the future be pushed to their family servants if they commit crimes. If you don't know, you'll be done?"
Shen Li closed the book and said: "From the file, the evidence of the person and the material evidence can be broken up. What do you think, Mr. Yan?"
Yan Qing, Minister of War, sat on the chair and did not speak. After he became Minister of Personnel, he resigned because of his poor health.
But the emperor kept thinking about Yan Qing and asked him to come back to serve as an official several times.
Yan Qing refused but could only come out to serve as the Minister of War. However, Yan Qing was not in good health. Even after becoming the Minister of War, he was always ill and rarely worked in the office.
This time I participated in the court promotion, it was really difficult.
Yan Qing had extremely high qualifications and prestige in the court. When Zhang Juzheng was the most powerful, no one else took it seriously, but he was polite to Yan Qing.
Although Yan Qing is sick now, as long as he sits wherever he sits, not to mention Shen Li, Song Li and others, even the emperor feels that he has a backbone in the court.
The court advised that Yan Qing had not spoken until now because his body was already very weak.
But Yan Qing always knew what happened.
Seeing Shen Li handing over the file, Yan Qing shook his head and said, "I can't see it anymore."
Shen Li asked respectfully: "What is Mr. Yan's opinion on this?"
Yan Qing was silent for a while, and then said, "I listened to the opinions of the ministers in this case. I only talked about Mr. Lin. He watched him from beginning to end from beginning to end from time to time. I think this person is too sharp sometimes, but he can be trusted in the major festivals."
Yan Qing finished speaking, but laughter came.
Everyone looked at it and turned out to be Xiao Yu laughing.
Before Xiao Yu came, he kept remembering Zhang Jing's words, Shen Shixing, Yang Wei should not offend him, and no one else could give him face, and Yan Qing would not be listed here.
In his eyes, Yan Qing, a despicable official, did he take the official who was half-in-law in the soil.
But when Xiao Yu saw Xiao Yu, "Sima Yan's words are wrong. Now that people have evidence, even the criminals have admitted it. What is Mr. Yan still protecting this person? The emperor and the officials of the dynasty have to judge whether the person is guilty depends on the facts."
Yan Qing held the chair and said reluctantly: "Eunuch Xiao's words are a high opinion, but it's not that he is concerned about his actions. But I don't mean to be a scholar Baolin, I just say a few words based on my heart."
Chen Li was very respectful to Yan Qing. At this time, Shen Shixing, who supported Lin Yanchao the most, wanted to clear the suspicion, but Yan Qing could say a few words without bias.
But no one thought he was partial to Lin Yanchao.
There is no other reason. In the eyes of scholars, a person is truly fair and strict, even if he is just a commoner, but any sentence is naturally majestic and more credible than an imperial edict.
Chen Li said: "I also believe that this case has nothing to do with Mr. Lin. As Song Situ said just now, this silver is not official silver, which is natural. As far as I know, the Zhen family, which married the Lin family, was originally a wealthy businessman in Beijing. This can even show that the Zhen family paid the silver, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Lin."
The Sanfu Wang Xijue kept flipping his confession, and then he suddenly said, "Everyone, why did Lin Yanshou ask Zhang Shen to bribe Zhang Jing, the governor of the East Factory, instead of Gao Huai, who is the chief supervisor of the Ministry of Justice? Is there an explanation for this matter in Dali Temple?"
Xiao Yu and Shu Yinglong all faced agitated.
Xiao Yu said: "This is a frame-up, why should Mr. Wang take it seriously?"
Wang Xijue narrowed his eyes and said, "Then do you think Lin Yanshou has already confessed his guilt, and the person who confessed his guilt is here to frame the blame?"
As soon as Wang Xijue said this, Xiao Yu was shocked and thought to himself that this person was really smart and powerful. Why didn't my ancestor remind me to be on guard against him?
Wang Xijue stood up and said, "When you were talking just now, Wang was always looking at the file. How dare you ask Eunuch Xiao, you have been working under Mr. Zhang for many years. Does Mr. Zhang have a godson named Zhang Shen?"
Xiao Yu was in a dilemma.
At this time, Sun Piyang said: "There is indeed this person. This person has been known to Duke Zhang in recent years. Everyone knows it in the capital. After the incident, I have sent someone to interrogate Zhang Shen, but Zhang Shen did not know where he was and did not know where he was. Later, Sun found out that this person was in the Dongjishi Factory."
Wang Xijue nodded and said, "Following the confession, Zhang Shen and the Zhen family are cousins, and it is not an accident that the other party confessed Zhang Shen."
Li Shida, the Minister of Justice, said: "That is true, there must be Zhang Shen's confession."
Sun Piyang said: "Since you all want to seek the truth, please ask Zhang Shen to come here! Anyway, it has reached this point, so it will not be possible to not ask for a truth. Fortunately, Dongjishi Factory has only had a cup of tea here."
Shen Shixing nodded and said to Xiao Yu: "Then report to Eunuch Zhang immediately and ask Zhang Shen to come!"
Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "This has not delayed the court's discussion, I'm afraid..."
Yang Wei slapped the handrail and said with a stern look: "We and the ministers of the dynasty are not afraid of delays. What are you afraid of? Or are you, Eunuch Zhang, hiding something?"
Xiao Yu's sneered at Yang Wei's mouth, and his expression changed.
But when Shen Shixing saw him suddenly said, "Minister of Dali Temple, where is the Minister of Justice?"
Li Shida and Sun Piyang stood up together.
