After listening to the words of the prefect Cen Yongchang and looking at this face, Guo Yushi did not ask any more questions, but continued to ask his colleague Shen Jizhi.
"Shen Jizhi, please answer this court, apart from you alone, who else planned this matter... also planned this matter, and who else shared the profits brought by the sea ban. An answer to this court." Guo Yushi asked.
I also knew that Shen Jizhi did not answer this immediately, but looked at it with his eyes as before without saying a word.
Looking at the look of his colleague Shen Jizhi, Guo Yushi couldn't stand it any longer: "Shen Jizhi, you just say it directly. You don't need to tell this court with your eyes. If you tell this court one by one, it might still be possible." I can reduce the punishment for you. If you persist in this way, and wait for a letter from the court, I will have no choice but to send you, a person related to this case, to the Three Laws Division, and the Three Laws Division will make the decision. At that time, it will not be you It’s so easy for one person to die, maybe your whole family will have to lose their lives as well.”
After hearing this, Shen Jizhi looked at his wife and several concubines beside him with tears in his eyes, and then at his still very young sons. Shen Jizhi lowered his head, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at these people in front of him. The official looked at the stern face and eyes of the Zuodu censor in front of him and answered: "Yes... there are Magistrate Cen, Li Tongpan, Zhang Tongpan, Chen Chengcheng, Guo Tongzhi..."
Seeing that his colleague Shen Jizhi confessed everything one by one, the official standing behind Guo Yushi knelt down in panic.
However, there are a few who admit it and a few who don’t.
Among them, the biggest official who was not recognized was Magistrate Cen.
"Guo Yushi, I really don't have this official. I have never participated in it. I haven't received a penny of this money." Magistrate Cen knelt down and said.
Listening to Magistrate Cen's words, Shen Jizhi, who knew him well, was silent, and the officials kneeling behind him were silent.
Guo Yushi turned around, looked at these officials, and said: "Since you have done it, you must admit it. A man, since you have done it, you have done it, admit it."
Even though they said this, these officials still knew that once they admitted it, their lives would be at risk. They still knew which one was more important, this sentence or their own lives.
Looking at the officials who confessed, Guo Yushi asked seriously: "Those of you who admitted it, please name the officials who did it."
Of course, the names of the officials they named were similar to those given by Shen Jizhi.
These officials followed what Shen Jizhi said. Guo Yushi clearly wrote down the names of the prefect Cen Yongchang, fellow magistrate Sun Yang, and several officials. Going to the back, Guo Yushi, who has a poor memory, could not remember them all. Down.
Looking at Magistrate Cen kneeling on the ground in front of him, Guo Kangdao, the censor of Zuodu, said: "Prefect Cen, look at this...it is said that you took the lead."
Hearing this, and not knowing what Yushi Guo wanted to ask, Magistrate Cen kept shouting: "It's really not the official. In recent days, the official has been a little indulgent to them. This... The official will take over this matter." There are very few, and the official is really not involved."
"Didn't participate? Then why did I hear rumors from the people in Yuanfu City these days that everyone in your family has evacuated? Do you want me to send a few people to find them back?" Guo Yu Shi Dao.
As soon as he said this, Magistrate Cen was really panicked, and he quickly kowtowed and admitted his mistake: "Guo Yushi, please do well. You are a high-ranking official, and don't try to influence the officials and their families."
"Well, as long as you admit it, I will definitely not do it."
After listening to these words, Magistrate Cen thought about it for a while and finally admitted it: "I will admit it, I will admit it, I will admit it."
Guo Yushi: "Okay, now that I admit it, that's enough. I will have less trouble."
Just as Guo Yushi finished speaking, an official in purple official robes came over in a hurry, with the words "
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Words: "It's not good, it's not good."
When I got closer, I saw a group of officials kneeling on the ground, and then I saw that Zuodu Yushi was also there. The official stopped talking immediately, stopped blankly, and stood motionless on the spot.
However, this scene was witnessed by Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu.
"What's wrong?" Guo Yushi asked.
Seeing Yushi Guo asking him, how could he not answer, the official took a few steps forward and answered: "Several prison cars and people with knives came outside the government office."
After hearing this, Censor Guo smiled slightly and said to himself: "This comes at the right time."
Hearing this, all of these officials' faces were still panicked. It seemed that their lives were probably not guaranteed.
Just when Guo Yushi was about to say something to the officials in front of him, an official wearing a green official robe hurried over, but he had a smile on his face.
"Guo Yushi?" The official in green official robes shouted with a smile.
Listening to this voice and looking at this face, Guo Yushi never thought who this person was.
"Are you...?" Guo Yushi asked.
Seeing that Guo Yushi didn't recognize him, the official in green official robes smiled slightly and introduced himself: "I am Zhang Zhengshan, the principal of Dali Temple. Xu Siqing asked me to come here. I don't know, this case of yours Have all the personnel been found?"
After listening to these words, Guo Yushi realized that he was an official of Dali Temple.
In Damo, minor cases involving individual local officials are handled by the provincial government yamen. Cases in which the prefect of the provincial government yamen makes a big mistake or involves many officials are generally handled by the Sanfa Division. They are the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Punishment.
Looking at the officer kneeling in front of him, and then at the smiling Zhang Sizheng beside him, Guo Yushi replied: "This case, I have just found a few people. However, they will come out soon. Zhang Sizheng Wait a minute?"
"Okay. This is a big case, and it is extremely important to handle it properly." Zhang Sizheng said with a smile.
Looking at the officials in front of him and seeing no leader around, Guo Yushi shouted: "Here comes someone!"
As soon as he said that, although the prison leader was no longer there, someone still came, and there were enough people to take them into custody.
"Take them to court, along with him."
"yes."
I saw that these officials and their colleague Shen Jiyi who were in the cell were escorted to the court by the jailer.
Butler Yin Xing, Zhang Sizheng and several officials followed.
As soon as the scene turned, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, had already changed into a scarlet official uniform and was sitting on a chair in the government hall. He looked at the officials and people in front of him with a serious face.
As for the common people, when they saw Magistrate Cen kneeling in the courtroom, most of the common people smiled and looked at it with discussion.
"Bang!" A gavel sounded.
"Cen Yongchang, this court wants to ask you who are the people involved in this case. Come one by one. If one person is missing, your crime will be increased!" Guo Yushi yelled.
Seeing the sudden stern Zuodu censor, Magistrate Cen, who was many years older than him, was frightened and answered honestly: "We have Tongzhi Tang Hongwei, Tongzhi Shen Jizhi, Tongzhi Long Xiangwen, Tongzhi Nie Yuanji, Tongzhi Ji Yucheng, Tongzhi Sun Yang, Tongpan Li Da..."
As soon as he said this, more than thirty officials were included.
After listening, Yushi Guo looked at Zhang Sizheng on the side: "Zhang Sizheng, can the court ask me to investigate those magistrates again?"
Zhang Sizheng shook his head.
After meeting, Guo Yu
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Shi looked at the prefect Cen Yongchang in front of him: "That's it, so be it. Regarding other magistrate matters, you can tell the truth after you return to the capital." After speaking, Guo Yushi looked at Zhang Sizheng aside again: " Zhang Sizheng, you have taken the person in front of you, but if he is not here, ask someone to arrest him."
"Okay." After responding, Zhang Sizheng straightened his back, cleared his voice, and shouted: "Here comes someone! Put these people into the prison car, and some of them will go with the officer to arrest them!"
I saw the kneeling official in front of me being escorted to the prison car by the government officials who came from the capital with a knife at their waists. As for the officials who had not come to the courtroom and had done something wrong and wanted to escape, they were also escorted there. There is not a single prison van left.
Seeing this, the people who were watching the excitement were all smiling, and everyone was praising the imperial court.
"Guo Yushi." Zhang Sizheng called Guo Yushi at the side.
After seeing Guo Yushi look over, Zhang Sizheng said: "Be careful on the way back."
Hearing these words, Guo Yushi was a little confused: "Zhang Sizheng, aren't you going back now?"
Zhang Sizheng smiled: "Guo Yushi, have you forgotten? The prefect has been taken away, so naturally someone has to handle this official business. The official is here not only to bring the prison car, but also to do something here. I will serve as magistrate for a few days until the new official takes office, and then I can go back."
After hearing these words, Guo Yushi understood: "Okay, I will leave first."
"good."
Just when he was about to leave, Guo Yushi saw that the housekeeper Yin Xing was not around. Just when he was thinking about looking for it, the housekeeper Yin Xing came here in a hurry.
However, he is still carrying something on his back.
"Master." Yin Xing shouted.
"What are you carrying?" Guo Yushi didn't guess.
Seeing Zhang Si standing aside, the housekeeper Yin Xing whispered in his ear. After speaking, he looked at the master and asked: "Master, I want to stay in this city for a few more days, is that okay?"
Looking at Yin Xing's smiling face, he thought for a while and said, "Okay. Then you can stay for a few more days. You can't stay too long. Come back when it suits you."
"Hey." Butler Yin Xing responded and walked away.
Looking at Zhang Sizheng's face, Guo Yushi explained: "Look, I brought him out with all these things, saying he was going to play in the city for a few days. What a life he lived. Be happy."
Zhang Sizheng smiled and said nothing more.
"Well, I will leave first."
"Okay, Censor Guo, be careful along the way."
"good."
I saw that Yushi Guo was sitting in a carriage, walking at the front of the team. The driver was not a housekeeper but a government servant who could drive horses. Behind him were prison cars. Above the prison cars was the palace. The officials being detained in the yamen all had their heads sticking out of the prison car, their hands and feet had been tied with iron chains, and there were yamen guards with knives around them.
As for the people of Yu'an Mansion, the rich ones threw eggs, cabbage and other things at them, while the poor ones boldly cursed them.
You can also see some people picking up fruits and vegetables on the ground. After all, life today is not really easy for these people who pick up vegetables and fruits, so these cannot be wasted.
As for Zhang Sizheng, he temporarily served as the magistrate of Yu'an Mansion. He was only acting temporarily, but he had a lot of things waiting for him.
However, Zhang Sizheng was considered a good official, and he fairly gave back to the people the property that the previous magistrate Cen and those officials had embezzled.
As for Guo Yushi's steward Yin Xing, he exchanged all those things for silver and was very happy in this Zuiweng Restaurant.
