When He Gujin asked him what to do, Zhu Jingyuan was of course helpless, so he looked at Zhu Jinghong aside.
Indicating to the prince not to worry, Zhu Jinghong picked up a piece of pastry and said while eating: "Master He..."
"I'm here..."
"How long have you been an official?"
Suddenly asked this question, He Gujin couldn't turn around for a moment, but he still replied: "I was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Taiping, and I have been an official for twenty-two years now!"
Clapping his hands, Zhu Jinghong flicked away the crumbs of the pastry, and then said: "So, you have also been sentenced for twenty years..."
He Gujin started as a county magistrate and tried countless cases. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an old criminal.
"I have only tried a few more cases, but compared to..."
Before He Gu Jin could finish speaking, Zhu Jinghong spoke again: "In that case, why won't the case be heard today?"
When he said this, Zhu Jinghong's eyes were like swords, piercing directly into He Gujin's eyes.
After all, his status was there, and Zhu Jinghong did have a strong aura. He Gujin didn't dare to look at Zhu Jinghong, and instinctively lowered his head.
In the eyes of Zhu Jingyuan on the side, he only felt that the younger brother in front of him seemed to have changed. He had experienced this feeling several times recently.
Deep in Zhu Jingyuan's heart, he also hoped to have the ability to overwhelm hundreds of officials, but he just couldn't do it, so he envied Zhu Jinghong very much.
"Wei Chen really doesn't understand what Thirteenth Master said!"
He said this sincerely. He Gujin really didn't understand why he couldn't handle the case.
I saw Zhu Jinghong stand up and slowly walk towards He Gujin: "The trial... torture, coercion and inducement, even confusing right and wrong..."
Zhu Jingyuan was shocked when he heard these words. His education would never allow him to think of these things.
At this moment, Zhu Jinghong brought it up, and he instinctively wanted to refute it, but fortunately, he held back in the end.
After all, in the current situation, he had no way out and had no choice but to go on.
"Hu Jin'an is very good at playing these tricks, but you say you don't understand..."
Walking behind He Gujin, Zhu Jinghong's tone became colder and colder: "Are you really not understanding or are you just pretending to be confused?"
"Thirteenth Master, these ministers..."
Without giving He Gujin a chance to defend himself, Zhu Jinghong asked sternly: "You keep saying that you want to share the crown prince's worries, but now you cherish your feathers and look forward and backward. Can you call this a loyal minister?"
It's another dirty trick, another slap in the face...
Zhu Jinghong tried his best to make He Gujin sweat like rain for a while and didn't know how to talk to him.
Zhu Jingyuan, who was still sitting, finally understood why his younger brother was not panicking. It turned out that he had never thought about using normal means to win.
In desperation, He Gujin quickly knelt down, kowtowed and said: "Your Highness...the loyalty of my ministers can be learned from the sun!"
He was so panicked that he forgot the most obvious truth.
He Gujin is an official of the imperial court, not the prince's domestic slave. He only needs to be loyal to the emperor and does not need to be subject to Zhu Jinghong's PUA at all.
Zhu Jinghong struck while the iron was hot and said immediately: "Really? Whether you are loyal or not is not determined by your words!"
"You are asked to try the case. How do you make it a solid case? Do you know how to do it?" Zhu Jinghong asked slowly as he bent down to look at He Gujin.
After a short silence, He Gujin gritted his teeth and replied, "I understand... I understand!"
Before, he thought that he was a chess player on the Jinling wrestling ground, but now reality slapped him hard.
It turns out that he, the inspector, is no different from Xue Pan and Feng Yuan. They are both pawns of the prince and Zhu Jinghong.
To be a chess piece, you need to be aware. The chess players have made their words clear. If you don't play, you will immediately become a discarded piece.
"It's good to understand..."
Arriving in front of He Gujin, Zhu Jinghong bent down to help him up, and at the same time said seriously: "You can go about your business with peace of mind, the prince and I will have your backing!"
"This time Jinling's errand is completed, we will not treat you badly!"
After saying this, Zhu Jinghong turned his head and asked: "Fourth brother...you think so!"
"Yeah!" Zhu Jingyuan responded without giving any substantive guarantee.
"In this case, Mr. He, go ahead and get results as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" He Gujin was helpless.
This time he came to visit him, but he was tortured enough that he just wanted to leave now.
"Go!"
He Gujin walked out of the pavilion with his waist raised, and he quickened his pace and left.
"Thirteenth brother, doing things like this... is not an upright way!" Zhu Jingyuan looked serious.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jinghong said righteously: "Of course, but He Gujin did this, what does it have to do with us?"
Seeing that his younger brother's lower limit was so low, Zhu Jingyuan didn't know what to say.
As a person with vested interests, he himself did not contribute much, so how could he blame Zhu Jinghong.
"Thirteenth brother, yesterday the Jinyi Guards came to report that officials from all over the country are gathering in Jinling..."
"According to the Chasi Yamen's severe torture, this matter cannot be concealed. What if these officials start to cause trouble?"
In fact, Zhu Jinghong had already considered these issues, so at this moment he was still not panicking. Instead, he calmly said: "So, fourth brother, according to Chasi's interrogation, it has never been the focus!"
"Oh? What do you mean?"
From beginning to end, Zhu Jingyuan was led with his thoughts, so much so that he suspected that he was a fool.
"Triing cases as prosecutors is a means to intimidate Jinling officials, not an end!"
"..."
After a few seconds of silence, Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but ask: "What next?"
"So from beginning to end, our real opponent is the Jinling magistrate!"
Sitting back on the stool, Zhu Jinghong crossed his legs and said, "Fourth brother, even if we don't use these methods, do you think these people will give up after Hu Jin'an is imprisoned?"
"No... Before the Xue family filed a lawsuit, these people were working together with each other. They had already planned to conspire against each other!"
Zhu Jingyuan was silent again. Neither he nor Gao Shuyan had thought about these deep things.
"Thirteenth brother, how did you come up with these...?"
No matter how you say it, Zhu Jinghong is just a "child" who has just turned fifteen. Logically speaking, he shouldn't know so much.
More importantly, Zhu Jingyuan had previously focused on practicing martial arts and had never shown any extraordinary wisdom. His current method of manipulating officialdom was really abnormal.
Of course Zhu Jinghong would not say that he learned it from his previous work experience and messy TV series.
He is good at planning before taking action, and is well prepared for possible doubts.
So Qingpiaopiao explained: "These nonsense, when I was fooling around with the Dragon Guards gang, my ears were ringing with noise!"
"And those stories in the history books, aren't they all about these things?"
Taking history as a mirror, we can see the ups and downs. Although the thirteenth brother does not like reading, he can draw inferences from one instance and apply it flexibly. I am not as good as me... Zhu Jingyuan sighed secretly in his heart.
Fortunately, he is a completely good person, so he has no jealousy in his heart. Instead, he is happy for Zhu Jinghong.
"Thirteenth brother, before you clamored to come to Jinling, I said you had a child's heart, but now it seems that you are a shallow brother!"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jinghong said smoothly: "It's not just you, the old man is also very shallow. He only wants to force us to study all day long, and he doesn't know what the use is of studying!"
These words seemed immature, but they were in line with the temperament of a fifteen-year-old "child", and made Zhu Jingyuan feel very reasonable.
After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Jingyuan said with a smile: "If my father knew what you said, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to get out of bed for half a month!"
"Isn't it more than a thousand miles away!" Zhu Jinghong laughed.
