"Actually, you and I both know very well that no matter who the culprit who murdered your master is, he must have a lot of background. Even if the culprit can be found in the future, you will not be able to take revenge with your own strength. When that time comes, you How are you going to respond?"
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Zhao Shan was stunned and subconsciously retorted: "As long as I can find conclusive evidence and submit it to the court, why can't I give justice to my teacher..."
However, midway through the words, Zhao Shancai's words suddenly stopped, and a bit of bitterness and self-deprecation flashed across his expression, but Zhao Junchen couldn't help but smile, as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous. 【Read full text】
"I never expected that Mr. Zhao, with his intelligence, would have such innocent thoughts."
Zhao Shancai sighed, realizing the childishness of his remarks, and said with a wry smile: "I'll make your Excellency laugh."
Yes, Zhao Shancai's words just now were blurted out subconsciously, but they were indeed a bit childish.
In this world, there are many rules and laws that seem to be deeply rooted in people's hearts, but when it comes to officialdom, they are completely unworkable.
The officialdom is the officialdom, and the people are the people. What is followed here is a different set of laws, which are completely different from those known to the world.
Such as case review and trial.
In the private sector, the trial of a case is based on evidence. The plaintiff and defendant have equal status. If the evidence is conclusive, then the defendant will naturally be convicted.
However, in the officialdom, the status of the plaintiff and the defendant has been unequal from the beginning. What matters is not the evidence, but the authority of both parties!
Don’t you see, in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, all officials who have reached a certain height in the officialdom have always been convicted because they have lost their authority. How many people have lost their authority because they have been convicted?
Why? With more authority, you will have more say and influence, and with more say and influence, you will be able to interfere more deeply in the trial process of the case.
How about physical evidence? How about a witness? The accused person has higher authority. I insist that you made a false accusation. What can you do to him?
How about no physical evidence? What if no one has a certificate? If the complainant had a higher authority, wouldn't there be a crime called "unfounded" in this world?
As for the mastermind behind the murder of He Ming, not to mention whether he left any evidence, through the judgment of Zhao Junchen and Zhao Shancai, this person is obviously in a temple, hiding in the dark, and has strong power.
Such an opponent. Unless you have higher authority, how can you be overthrown by some simple evidence of guilt?
The murder of He Ming will certainly shock the government and the public, and even Emperor Deqing will pay attention to the abnormality, but so what? There have been so many shocking cases at home and abroad in ancient and modern times. Because it was too involved and too deep, it ended up being nothing?
Although this truth is cruel and unacceptable, it is fact! Many times, this fact is not even limited to official circles.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seeing Zhao Shancai's expression with a bit of bitterness and silence, Zhao Junchen sighed. Then he said: "I just said this to you. Now I can say it again, the murder of senior He Ming has absolutely nothing to do with me. With my status today and your situation at this moment, you You should understand that I don’t have to lie deliberately for this reason.”
Zhao Shancai remained silent, not knowing whether he agreed or not.
But Zhao Junchen didn't care. He just changed the topic and said: "But I can support you and do my best to help you find the real culprit behind the scenes. No matter how powerful the mastermind behind it is, I will still help you." You should take revenge, and you should also understand that I do not lack such ability."
Zhao Junchen would say this because he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take Zhao Shancai for his own use.
And this is also the main purpose of Zhao Junchen inviting Zhao Shancai to ride with him.?br />
Zhao Shancai is a disciple of He Ming. He has inherited the emperor's mental skills, is talented and intelligent, and has the potential to become a first-class figure like a "national scholar." For such a character, Zhao Junchen, who is suffering from a lack of talents under his disciples, will naturally not miss him.
Although Zhao Shancai today is still a little immature, it is precisely because of this that Zhao Junchen has the possibility to conquer him.
Otherwise, if Zhao Shan had not really grown up until now, and his master He Ming's relationship with the prince's party, it would be very difficult for Zhao Junchen to take him for his own use.
"Oh?" Zhao Shancai obviously understood what Zhao Junchen meant. He looked up, but he didn't show any joy. He just said slowly: "Master Zhao will uphold justice for my master?"
At this moment, Zhao Shancai's name for Zhao Junchen changed again.
Zhao Junchen still didn't care, nodded and said quietly: "As long as you are willing, then why don't I help you?"
However, once Zhao Junchen helps Zhao Shancai, Zhao Shancai needs to repay him, and he will be labeled as "Zhao Party". Zhao Junchen and Zhao Shancai both knew this.
However, Zhao Junchen's guarantee was not just to deceive Zhao Shancai.
According to Zhao Junchen, the seventh prince Zhu Hejian is the most suspicious of He Ming's murder. To be honest, Zhao Junchen doesn't like this scheming prince. Although the two sides have reached a certain tacit understanding now, they will deal with it together in the future. Prince Zhu Heyu, but Zhao Junchen will never truly support Zhu Hejian to become the new crown prince.
Without him, Zhu Hejian is not a good auxiliary target. This?a href='/711/4849414/'>. Thoughts. Di Naorui’s Nephew Cai Yiyun Φ Hemorrhoids Wu Fu Xiuna Song Zhengheng Qin Key〕 Cheek Xian Nana Ω ㄗ粲 Ye Yao Jing Tu Dong Ci Jun énggou succeeded in ascending the throne, but he himself could not avoid the fate of being a dead dog.
Therefore, although Zhao Junchen and Zhu Hejian are allies, they are only temporary alliances.
If the prince Zhu Heyu can really be overthrown in the future, then the day when Zhu Heyu is overthrown will be the time when Zhao Junchen and Zhu Hejian are hostile.
Zhao Junchen didn't know if Zhu Hejian thought so, but Zhao Junchen himself did plan to do so.
At that time, I can naturally agree to the promise I made to Zhao Shancai today. And with such a promise, I can get a talented person like Zhao Shancai with the potential of a national scholar. Why not?
Unfortunately, although Zhao Junchen was sincere, Zhao Shancai was silent for a moment before shaking his head and refusing.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhao. However, Mr. Zhao is the Minister of Household Affairs in the imperial court. Although his status is noble, cases like this need to be handled jointly by the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Zhili's Criminal Investigation Department. It does not belong to the The scope of your jurisdiction. Although Mr. Zhao is kind-hearted, I am afraid that he is powerless, and the students do not dare to bother you for this, but I still thank you for your kindness."
Hearing what Zhao Shancai said, before Zhao Junchen said anything, Xu Qingyan on the side snorted, as if he was dissatisfied with Zhao Shancai's lack of appreciation.
Zhao Junchen was not angry. He just sighed softly and said: "I heard that Mr. Zhao commented that I was a 'treacherous official in governing the world', and I was quite close to Liu Zimin. I thought Mr. Zhao had no prejudice against me."
As time passed, Zhao Shancai's expression gradually became more natural, and he shook his head and said: "As for Mr. Zhao, students do not have any prejudice. Although everyone in the world says that Mr. Zhao is a corrupt official, students can see clearly that since Mr. Zhao entered the court, From now on, our government's money and food operations will be much better than before. How can Mr. Zhao's abilities and achievements be denied because of his reputation? Especially in recent days, Mr. Zhao has changed his previous style. Repeatedly There is an astonishing move. Now he has suddenly emerged in the court and has become a faction of his own. Not only do students have no prejudice against Mr. Zhao, but they also admire him very much. It is precisely because of this that the students have contact with Liu Ziminduo. It is precisely what they want Learn more about Mr. Zhao.”
Saying this, Zhao Shancai looked sincere, but then changed the topic and continued: "However, although there is no prejudice, the student has been deeply taught by the teacher during his lifetime and has his own position, but he will let Master Zhao down."
Hearing what Zhao Shancai said, Zhao Junchen raised his eyebrows and said in a slightly cold voice: "Oh? Mr. Zhao, does he want to follow senior He Ming and serve the prince?"
"The prince is the crown prince, and he is upright and wise. It is what he should do to serve the prince." Zhao Shancai said slowly: "The prince's temperament and behavior may sometimes appear a bit stubborn, but Mr. Zhao's actions over the years have , it can’t be said that everything is wrong, but after all, the students still agree more with the prince’s character and actions. Although Mr. Zhao is a good person, it is not my path. I hope Mr. Zhao can forgive me. "
"You should know that even your master, He Ming, has never been liked by the prince. And you are just a disciple of He Ming, how can you be taken seriously by the prince? The prince is upright and stubborn, and he is strict in doing things. Of course, he will preside over for your master. Fair, but if the culprit behind the scenes dares to commit such a shocking crime, how can he leave evidence? Even if he is found in the future, if there is no evidence, the prince will definitely not go against the trend. You work for the prince, and for I'm afraid your master's hope of revenge will be reduced instead."
"There are countless difficulties in this world, but they are no match for those who are determined. Students are naive, but they still believe that there is justice in the world."
With that, the conversation ends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The carriage moved quickly, and within a moment of silence, it arrived outside Shuntian Mansion.
Zhao Shancai got off the carriage, bowed to Zhao Junchen, and then took the book boy to the Shuntian Mansion for questioning.
Zhao Junchen looked at Zhao Shancai's disappearing back and suddenly sighed: "I originally wanted to look at the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."
On the side, Xu Qingyan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spat and said bitterly: "This Zhao Shancai really doesn't know how to praise him. Young Master, you don't hesitate to put down your body to accept him personally, and you don't hesitate to agree to revenge for He Ming. Such a great fortune, ordinary people I can't even ask for anything, but he, despite refuting the young master's face, went to seek refuge with the prince! He fed the donkey's liver out of kindness! He also said that he was good at some emperor's mind skills. Let me see, as stubborn as he is, He's just a pedantic nerd, I really looked up to him before."
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said leisurely: "In this world, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't force it. For Zhao Shancai, the situation in front of him is not everything to him. Whether he is good at the emperor's mind and the good and evil in his heart are two different things. He didn't just He also said, 'I believe there is justice in this world.' Haha, I thought he would be a man of both sides, but I didn't expect that he still had such a simple and stubborn thought deep in his heart. He Ming was teaching him the art of the emperor's mind. At the same time, it is really remarkable that he can still keep his true nature. Although my place is nice, in Zhao Shancai's opinion, I am afraid it is too dirty."
"However, young master, if Zhao Shancai really joins the prince, he may not be a trouble in the future. We might as well..."
As he spoke, Xu Qingyan showed a cruel look on his face. He made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Zhao Junchen smiled and waved his hands and said: "No need. It is one thing for Zhao Shancai to seek refuge with the prince. Whether the prince will reuse him is another matter. What's more, having such a person beside the prince may not be a good thing. "
Seeing the confusion on Xu Qingyan's face, Zhao Junchen did not explain, but just shook his head and said: "You will understand from now on. This Zhao Shancai is really a pity..."
Xu Qingyan did not ask further questions, but seeing that Zhao Junchen was still not getting out of the car, he asked again: "Master, are we not going to Shuntian Mansion?"
Zhao Junchen pointed to the outside of the car and said: "Look at the cars and sedans outside Shuntian Mansion. There are countless of them, blocking the road. I am afraid that except for you and me, we were not able to get the news in time because we were out for fun today. Besides, people from all over the court and all factions are here to inquire about the news. If that’s the case, then I won’t join in the fun. I’d better go back home first.”
After a pause, Zhao Junchen said again: "But. After you go back, use my name to ask Li Lide, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, to come to the house. He should know the details of this matter. We should also know. You know, now that such a big thing has happened, it’s time for me to recover and make a comeback.”
While Xu Qingyan nodded yes, the carriage drove towards Zhao Junchen's mansion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What exactly is going on in this case? Do you have any clues?"
After returning home, Xu Qingyan sent Zhao Junchen's famous invitation to Li Lide, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment. As a disciple of Zhao Junchen, Li Lide naturally did not dare to neglect. Although he was very busy because of the He Ming family murder case, it was still not the end of the day. Yami came.
At this time, in the study room of the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Junchen was asking Li Lide about the details of the He Ming family murder case.
"Sir, I don't know much about this." Li Lide smiled bitterly and said, "It's just because the place where Master He's family was killed happened to be at the junction of Shuntian Prefecture and Beizhili, but such a big place Neither Beizhili nor Shuntian Prefecture dared to take over the case, nor did they dare to take responsibility, so the whole day today, there was no progress in the case, and Beizhili and Shuntian Prefecture were just blaming each other."
Zhao Junchen snorted: "At this time, for such a big case, the two yamen don't want to solve the case as soon as possible. Instead, they blame each other. I really don't know what they are thinking. If the case cannot be solved, His Majesty will be furious and want to I don’t think any of them will do well.”
"That's what your Excellency said." After a pause, Li Lide said meaningfully: "Up to now, I only know some crude clues. Master He's family and the accompanying escorting officers and soldiers, a total of dozens of people Although the body was not discovered until yesterday, it had actually been dead for several days. The method of committing the crime was clean and tidy, leaving no one alive and no flaws at all. Someone with such ability is probably not an ordinary person. thief."
Zhao Junchen nodded, not too surprised, but said: "Shuntian Prefecture and Beizhili can blame each other, but your Criminal Department is now unshirkable. This case is too big, and it is inevitable that the three agencies will try it. You must put it This case will get to the bottom of the case, and if there are any clues, don’t let them go.”
"I understand."
After Zhao Junchen pondered for a moment, he asked again: "Has your Majesty heard the news? How did he react?"
Li Lide sighed: "Of course we dare not hide such a big thing from His Majesty, so we spread the news to the palace early. I heard that His Majesty was very angry and threw a lot of things."
Zhao Junchen also sighed, with some regret, and murmured: "This case is really unlucky."
Indeed, now is the critical moment when Zhao Junchen, together with Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong, and Shen Changmao, plots to give Prince Zhu Heyu the throne. Prince Zhu Heyu replaced Zhao Junchen, who was "suffering from an acute illness", and took charge of Emperor Deqing's southern tour. After preparations were made, Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong, and Shen Changmao secretly made all kinds of mischief, which made the people complain. They were about to close the network, which could seriously damage the prince's reputation and make Emperor Deqing begin to doubt the prince's ability to do things. He Ming. A prince and grand master were suddenly killed, which disrupted the entire situation.
With the two things combined, would Emperor Deqing suspect that someone was deliberately targeting the prince?
Or maybe you feel pity for the prince because his master was killed?
Among the people, will the people's attention be diverted by the case of He Ming's family murder?
These are all things that cannot be said for sure.
However, what is certain is that after this change, the effect of Zhao Junchen and others' plan to attack the prince will be reduced.
"Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation."
Hearing Zhao Junchen sigh softly, Li Lide on the side was confused, but since Zhao Junchen had no explanation, he did not dare to take the initiative to ask.
While Zhao Junchen was thinking secretly, Xu Qingyan suddenly pushed open the door and said, "Young Master, there is a messenger from the palace. It is Eunuch Zhang De and Zhang De."
"Oh? Please come to the main hall quickly. I'll be there right away."
While talking, Zhao Junchen motioned to Li Lide to wait in the study, and he left the study and walked towards the main hall of Zhao Mansion.
