Chapter 1551: Punishment
Such a big case suddenly appeared in the capital.
Shuntian Mansion took action quickly.
After that, the factory guards also began to move.
For a moment, people were panicked.
But if we really need to check it out carefully, people can only laugh and cry about it.
The Liu family assassinated the Duke of Qi and committed the Qin case, while the gentry... this move was more like blind obedience and venting anger.
They dare not treat Duke Qi. This Duke Qi is the one who really kills people if he says he is a high-ranking and powerful person, who dares to provoke him?
Thinking that the ancestors were about to be destroyed in their hands, this powerless anger spread rapidly.
At this time... the gentry who had always been alive became radical and blindly following.
So... among the neighbors, many vivid conspiracy theories began to rampantly.
The next day, at Dali Temple.
This is the seventh time that Liu Huiwen has passed the trial.
The interrogation of Liu Huiwen has still become the most troublesome thing for Sansi.
News outside is changing every day.
Fortunately, the ministers in this temple do not believe in those rumors about conspiracy with their noses and eyes.
Perhaps... many people sympathize with Liu Huiwen.
Moreover, every time Liu Huiwen passes the review, the character he shows is really admirable.
Isn’t this the ideal self?
So, on the one hand, they didn't like Liu Huiwen's various ridicule of him, but on the other hand, they felt that Liu Huiwen did too much, but his intentions were good.
Under such contradictions, the continued review is more than the time when Liu Huiwen plays out.
Liu Huiwen was more familiar with the road. When he arrived at the court of Dali Temple, he sat down and claimed his name, and then looked at the judges calmly.
But today, the judges looked at him with strange eyes.
Of course, Liu Huiwen didn't care.
He knew very well that the attitude of the three ministers to judge these days had changed, which showed that some high-ranking and powerful ministers in the court were protecting themselves. In other places, many people must not want to die.
Therefore, he is more confident.
As soon as he sat down, he said, "It's ridiculous!"
The presiding judges probably had the expression... you are here again.
Liu Huiwen said suang: "The system of ancestors was completely destroyed. Since the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, many national policies of the court have been extremely absurd. When voting to the West, it took so much manpower and material resources. The gold and silver brought back caused prices to rise. What benefits does this have to do to our Ming Dynasty? But... it is all for one's own selfish interests. It is necessary to know that most of the land obtained from voting to the West was granted to Duke of Qi and various royal families. What benefits do these... do these benefits for the people?"
The presiding judges remained silent. It was rare today, and they did not interrupt Liu Huiwen.
Liu Huiwen said with great righteousness: "It is called my Ming Dynasty. It is expanding territory, but it has spent so much money and grain to build ships. How many people have separated their wives and children and separated their flesh and blood just for the fiefs of Duke Qi and the royal family. What is the use of this land that is thousands of miles away? The troubles of the Ming Dynasty lies in people's hearts and education, not these things that are very fond of merit. Since the prisoners were imprisoned, they have been trapped in a small room. These days, I am really heartbroken to think about the changes in the Ming Dynasty over the years."
"I heard that the Duke of Qi... was so conscientious that he had recognised his relatives everywhere and sent all the so-called relatives who were not close to him to the Golden Island. He searched for sinners four times, made a clever name to capture prisoners, and filled the captive population with crimes. This practice has caused resentment from heaven and people, and many people were covered in blood and tears. But can anyone say this in the civil and military affairs of the court say it bluntly? Why did it reach this point today?"
Liu Huiwen was very devoted to speaking. When he said this, he even beat his heart with heartache.
Actually... Liu Huiwen is very clear.
This is the case of the imperial examination by the three departments. Your Majesty must be particularly concerned about this case. Since it is a case of trial, the inquiry record will definitely be sent to the palace.
Rather than saying Liu Huiwen's words to the presiding officials, it is better to say that Liu Huiwen is using this trial to persuade the emperor.
Of course... speaking out for advice has another deeper meaning.
I am afraid that there are many people in the court who hope to see this situation.
There were some words that they were inconvenient to say, and they dared not say, but they spoke them through Liu Huiwen's mouth.
But when he heard this, the judge felt embarrassed and finally couldn't help but say, "Okay, you don't have to say anything more."
Liu Huiwen snorted coldly and said, "Why don't you dare to say this righteous word? People in the world dare not say it. I am a criminal official. If I don't say it's death, it's also death. Now I die for the great righteousness, which is enough to comfort my whole life. That Golden Continent..."
"Enough!" Another judge couldn't help it and shouted, "Don't forget, you are the criminal officer."
Liu Huiwen said angrily: "I haven't forgotten."
The three judges looked at each other.
This guy is even more fierce than himself.
So, the three of them showed meaningful expressions, and one of them said, "Come on, take the criminal down first, and then go to court for an hour."
After hearing this, the officers took Liu Huiwen out of the central hall first, but Liu Huiwen looked proud.
I just don’t know what’s going on outside at this time. I think... many people have already started to rescue them in secret.
After all, this Ming Dynasty still has to care about the Qing Dynasty. Even the emperor cannot stop people from having a leisurely mouth.
He returned to the cell. Although the cell was simple, it was clean and tidy. Even his clothes were specially jailers cleaned for him.
Although Liu Huiwen didn't know who he was, he knew that he must be a person with great hands and eyes in the court.
He didn't care who was taking care of it, he just did it well.
As usual, he sat down.
As usual, an old prisoner poured him a cup of tea. Liu Huiwen didn't like this tea. It was too bad. After all, the conditions in prison were limited, but he held the tea cup in his hand but did not drink it. He just enjoyed the feeling of meditating on holding the tea, just like he was in the Imperial College when he was in the Imperial College. The old god was there, and the wind was calm and light.
The old jailer glanced at Liu Huiwen, but he wanted to speak but stopped.
Liu Huiwen was too lazy to pay attention to him, and he despised such a minor official.
But the old jailer couldn't bear to leave, so he thought for a while and said, "Sir..."
"Oh, you don't need to serve here." Liu Huiwen said lightly.
"Sir, the villain has some words... I don't know if I should say it."
Liu Huiwen said in his heart, could this prison guard want to ask for a bribe? Humph, he dared to hit me on the head.
He said with a straight face and was worthy of fun: "If you shouldn't say it, don't say it."
"Yesterday...Yesterday..." The old jailer paused: "Yesterday, I heard from the people from Shuntian Mansion that someone rushed into the mansion...beating someone to death..."
"What?" Liu Huiwen was stunned and trembled with anger: "This... this must be those... those rats, they... are so vicious. Is there no result in Shuntian Mansion?"
"Yes, many scholars and gentry were arrested that day to interrogate..."
"What, what?" Liu Huiwen's heart skipped a beat. He stared at the old jailer, in disbelief, and then sneered: "Who taught you what he said?"
"This is true... Everyone in the capital knows that yesterday... a lot of things happened. First, the Xishan Money House posted a list, saying that it would take out a lot of land to be rented for the people to farm. Many of the people applauded and said it was good governance."
"After that, I heard that many scholars and gentry ran to Xishan for confession. When they came back, they were furious, and then..."
The old jailer couldn't bear it and looked at Liu Huiwen carefully: "I heard that someone accused the gentleman of being in love with Duke Qi, saying that it was his conspiracy between the gentleman and Duke Qi... and that the court deposed the imperial examinations and seized the fame of scholars, causing a large amount of land to fall into the hands of the Xishan Money House. Now, Duke Qi has a sword to seal the throat..."
Liu Huiwen couldn't help but shivered.
In fact, he also knew that this failed assassination greatly benefited Fang Jifan.
He has heard of this.
But when the old jailer said that the land in Xishan Money House would be free from renting it to the people to cultivate, he knew...thing might have become bad.
From then on, there was no place for scholars and gentry to live in.
This dog thing...
If so... then these people are understandable.
But why... was targeted at him?
He suddenly lost his usual calmness and his heart was in a mess, because he vaguely felt that what the old official said might be true. Even if he made up randomly, no one dared to make it so outrageous. The more outrageous it was, the more likely it was.
He opened his eyes wide, and the teacup he held in his hand was trembling, and a clanging sound, muttering: "It's because of this..."
"Don't the Duke of Qi defended his sir everywhere? First he asked His Majesty to conduct a trial in the third department. After that... he heard that he was talking to the Liu family everywhere, saying that although the Liu family had different ideas, it could be called loyalty and righteousness."
Liu Huiwen was instantly miserable, with a blood-colored face. He sneered and said loudly: "Nothing nonsense...nothing nonsense..."
He barely stood up and felt as if he was in control.
After years of ups and downs in the officialdom, he is naturally familiar with people's hearts.
I have known for a long time that if he was the one who wanted to lose everything, he would be in anxiety and doubt. If someone stirred up a few more words, then... it would be hard to guarantee that he would not...
At this time, Liu Huiwen hurriedly asked, "You said someone died in my mansion, who died?"
"It was said that a young master died..."
Liu Huiwendun felt the sky was spinning and couldn't help but say sadly: "This...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...th
The jailer said again: "But... I heard from the presiding judge that someone from above seemed to want to say hello. This time, the Liu family was in trouble and suffered a change. They hoped to give up the gentleman with a gentleman, and it would be best... to let the gentleman be released."
release……
Liu Huiwen shivered again.
Released...and then face those beasts in Lunguo Rushan?
Liu Huiwen became more and more panicked, and knew the harm of such remarks. Once these rumors spread, he would be unable to clear his mind even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Even if he is released... the Liu family will have a foothold?
