Chapter 471 Impeachment

"Gei Master, their father is right, and their mother is right, what do you think?" Emperor Qingping pondered for a moment and looked at Zhang Binian with a smile. At this point, if the prime minister of the current dynasty spoke, then the nature of Zhongyitang would have been determined.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the key to this matter is whether the people in Zhongyitang have the intention to rebel. Judging from the current situation, they had no intention of rebelling when they attacked the government office. Therefore, although the crimes committed by Zhongyitang are unforgivable, they are understandable." Zhang Binian bowed his hand to Emperor Qingping and said quietly, "Please give up your Majesty."

"Please break up with your Majesty!" As soon as Zhang Binian finished speaking, officials such as Tang Sanke showed joy on their faces, while those of Qiu Cheng and others showed disappointment and unwillingness. The officials in the hall bowed to Emperor Qingping together and said in unison.

"Tan Guerrilla, how do you think the people of Zhongyitang should atone for their merits?" Emperor Qingping nodded slightly and looked at Tan Zong.

"Your Majesty, when I interrogate the Zhongyitang gang members, they hope to spend the rest of their lives in northern Xinjiang to cleanse their sins." Tan Zong said respectfully when he heard this.

"Issued an order, Zhongyi Hall attacked the Yangzhou Prefecture, causing chaos and unforgivable crimes. But I thought that it was deceived, so I decided to open the door and the perpetrators were exiled to the northern border." Emperor Qingping looked around at the people in the hall and said in a deep voice, "This kind of incident will not be an example. If anyone commits again, severe punishment will not be punished."

Emperor Ping of Qing Dynasty designated Zhongyitang's attack on Yangzhou Prefecture as "violent and chaos", rather than treason. The meanings are very different. The situation of violent and chaos is diverse, which means that those who commit crimes in Zhongyitang no longer have to bear the charge of rebellion.

"Your Majesty is wise!" As Emperor Qingping made the final conclusion on the matter of Zhongyi Hall, the civil and military officials in the hall bowed to him again and said in unison.

"Your Majesty has an order, and if you have something to do, you will leave the court without anything to do." The matter of Zhongyitang is the last issue of today's court meeting. Andshan looked at Emperor Qingping and saw that Emperor Qingping had no expression, so he screamed at the civil and military officials below.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have a memorandum!" Just when the officials in the hall were going to send Emperor Qingping back to the palace as usual, a loud voice suddenly sounded.

Hearing this voice, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yunzhao's mouth. Tan Zongyou easily escaped from the court meeting. Even if he couldn't hurt him, he would still disgust him well.

Upon hearing this, the officials couldn't help but turn their heads behind them and look behind them. A thin, black-faced middle-aged official standing at the end of the civil servant queue walked out and strode towards Emperor Qingping.

"It's him!" Looking at the thin black-faced middle-aged official, Tan Zong's eyes flashed with a look of astonishment. When he recalled the other party's cold attitude towards him in the toilet, he suddenly had an unknown premonition in his heart.

Seeing this, many officials looked at the black-faced, thin middle-aged official with interest. Because the black-faced middle-aged official is Zhong Zheng, who has the nickname "Ghost Trouble" in the Censorate. Those who have received the news know that he is going to cause trouble for Tan Zong, while those who have not received the news secretly guessed who is so unlucky and are actually targeted by "Ghost Trouble".

"My name, the Censor Zhong Zheng has to report." A black-faced, thin middle-aged official came to the front and back of the throne, bowed to Emperor Qingping with a serious expression, and said loudly, "I want to impeach the Jiangnan guerrilla Tan Zong of the Supervision Office. He acted boldly and recklessly. In order to vent his personal anger, he openly killed the rebel Bi Shijie in order to vent his personal anger, which caused the investigation of the mastermind behind Bi Shijie to stagnate."

Tan Zong now understood that this Zhong Zheng was indeed for him, and the consequences of the incident of killing him by himself were finally revealed at this moment.

"Tan Guerrilla, is there any such thing?" Emperor Qingping looked at Tan Zong and asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, Bi Shijie was indeed beaten to death by Weichen. This person is insidious and cunning, and stubborn. Weichen originally just wanted to teach him a lesson, but he didn't want to beat him to death." Bi Shijie was beaten to death by himself after all, and Tan Zong knew that he could not deny it, so he said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid Tan Guzhi did not want to teach Bi Shijie a lesson, but planned to kill him directly." Zhong Zheng sneered and looked at Tan Zong, "As far as the censor knows, Bi Shijie had decided to surrender to the court at that time, but he wanted to interrogate him another person, but Tan Guzhi ignored him and acted alone, tortured him one after another, resulting in his being beaten to death."

"Zhong Jingshi, if Bishijie really regretted that, he would have confessed his evil deeds to the lower officials, rather than deliberately delaying them." Tan Zong looked at Zhong Zheng seriously, "Bishijie has been operating in Yangzhou for many years and has many followers. If he changes the presiding judge according to his wishes, he will definitely inform the capital. If he goes back and forth on the road, it will take at least ten days. The reason why he stated that he would surrender was just a delaying strategy, and his purpose was to wait for his accomplices to come to save him."

"Tan Guerrilla, I don't know if this is Bi Shijie's delaying strategy, but I am very clear that Bi Shijie has tried to harm you again and again. You two are incompatible. Bi Shijie is worried that you will be favored, so it is reasonable to propose a replacement of the presiding judge. Since Tan Guerrilla has a personal grudge with Bi Shijie, can't I avoid it?" Zhong Zheng looked at Tan Zong expressionlessly and said word by word.

According to the Dashun Law, if the official who is in charge of the case has a grudge with the suspect, he must avoid it to ensure the fairness of the case trial.

"Chief Zhong may have forgotten that the lower official had nothing to do with Bi Shijie before taking this case. He assassinated the lower official after the lower official took over the case. According to the Dashun law, the lower official did not need to avoid it." Tan Zong smiled slightly when he heard this and said in a loud voice.

An important principle of avoidance is that the case handler has grudges with the suspect before the method. The reason why it is emphasized that before the case is that officials will inevitably have some conflicts with the suspect during the case handling process.

"Tan Guerrilla, the importance of Bishiqi is self-evident. He is the rebellious rebel leader in Jiangnan. I believe he knows a lot of secrets. Tan Guerrilla beat people to death like this. I guess he already has those secret clues?" Zhong Zheng did not want to talk to Tan Zong. After pondering for a while, he asked coldly.

"The officials are trying their best to investigate." Tan Zong said seriously when he heard this.

"In this way, Tan Guerrilla killed himself based on his subjective assumptions alone, and knew many secrets, which made these secrets sink into the sea?" Zhong Zheng sneered and shouted loudly when he heard this.

"Civil Secretary Zhong, the lower official said that Bi Shijie's death was an accident, and the lower official was unwilling to see it." Tan Zong looked at Zhong Zheng solemnly and said in a deep voice.

"What an accident! Did Tan Juejie want to cover up the fact that you took private revenge with a simple "accident"?" Zhong Zheng glanced at Tan Zong coldly, then looked at the officials at the scene, "If the officials in charge of the case act as impulsive as Tan Juejie, then what's the use of following the laws?"

"Your Majesty, I am not doing my job well and killed Bi Shijie by accident, which caused the clues to investigate the envoy behind the scenes to be interrupted. I am willing to accept all punishments." Seeing Zhong Zheng pressing himself with the big law and regulations, Tan Zong's mouth squirmed a few times, trying to defend something, but in the end he didn't say it. He knelt on the ground in front of everyone, leaned on the ground with his hands, and said to Emperor Qingping.

"Your Majesty, Tan Guerrilla worked hard in Jiangnan for his life. He not only wiped out the Japanese bandits who suffered from disaster in Suzhou, but also wiped out the forces in Yangzhou and Suzhou, and made great contributions to our Dashun. He only fulfilled his duties and interrogated the Bishop. He did not want to be punished but died. He did not do anything wrong in this matter. What crime is there?" At this time, Ye Tianxing, the left assistant supervisor of the Supervision Office, walked out of the queue and said to Emperor Qingping in a deep voice.

"Ye Zheng's words are wrong. Although Tan Juezing made great contributions, this does not mean that he can violate the law and discipline. He used his power to seek personal gain and beat him to death when the interrogation period was completed." Hearing this, Zhong Zheng shook his head and said seriously.

"Chief Zhong..." Ye Tianxing certainly could not sit still and watch Zhong Zheng take the charge of "using power for personal gain" on Tan Zong, so he refuted.

"Your Majesty, no one is perfect. Tan Guerrilla is doing his best to serve the country in Jiangnan. If we hold on to Tan Guerrilla's unintentional mistakes for a crime, we will not only be unfair to Tan Guerrilla, but also sorry to those who were killed by Bi Shijie." Before Ye Tianxing finished speaking, Zhou Dunran interrupted him and said to Emperor Qingping in a deep voice.

Zhou Dunran and Tan Zong worked together in Yangzhou City for a long time and personally experienced the battle between Tan Zong and Bi Shijie. He is the person who is most qualified to evaluate Tan Zong.

"Your Majesty, although Tan Guerrilla has made unintentional mistakes, but the flaws do not cover up the merits. How can you blame him for a small mistake?" Then, Ye Tianxing bowed to Emperor Qingping and said loudly, "Please take a look at him and give Tan Guerrilla justice."

"I'm going to discuss it!" Qi Heng, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, took a step forward and said loudly, expressing his support for Tan Zong. In a sense, although the two sides had never met, they were undoubtedly in an alliance relationship. He did not mind showing this alliance relationship to warn those forces that covet the Cao Gang.

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

...

Afterwards, many officials in the hall stood up, including people from the Supervision Office, civil officials and military generals, and a large group of them came out.

"I have a decision on how to deal with this matter." Emperor Qingping looked around at the officials who pleaded for Tan Zong, and Hongsheng said, and stood up from the dragon throne.

"Set back to the palace." Seeing this, Andyong shouted sharply.

"Greatly send your Majesty to you." After hearing this, the officials in the hall hurriedly retreated to their respective queues and bowed to Emperor Qingping.

When Emperor Qingping left the Golden Palace, the civil and military officials standing respectfully in the hall immediately dispersed and walked out of the hall in groups of three or five. Tan Zong's first court meeting officially ended.

After going home, Tan Zong did not go home, but followed Cao Qiaomu to the Supervision Office. He first met his colleagues, and secondly he was familiar with the place. After all, he was also a member of the Supervision Office. He had to go to his "mother's house" when he came to the capital.
