Su Yunqi, who was kneeling on the ground, felt very unhappy when he heard what Du Antong said. He squinted at Du Antong, ignored the three officials on the stage, and cursed:
"Eat everything inside and out."
Then, Su Yunqi withdrew his hateful eyes and looked at the floor with a hint of anger on his face.
As for Du Antong, seeing Su Yunqi looking like this, he pretended not to care.
Furthermore, he did not support Su Yunqi and the gang of treacherous ministers at the beginning. Later, after Gui Yuanwei, the Minister of War, became a scholar, there was a lack of fresh air in the court, and Du Antong himself was forced to join this gang of treacherous ministers.
Although he said he wanted to join, he himself had never been willing to do so.
"Su Yunqi!"
"Look, your son and Governor Du both said that you had made this plan or were the mastermind of this plan. You still don't admit it?"
Liu Zhen, the minister of Dali Temple, could not wait to hear his confession.
Su Yunqi raised his head and looked at the three officials on the stage with a pair of vicious eyes.
"Dog officer!"
"Don't even think about slandering me!"
"I have never done any of these things. Don't think that you just took some money and bribed some people just to slander me."
Seeing Su Yunqi's tough attitude in front of him, and looking at the people talking outside Dali Temple, Liu Zhen, the Qing of Dali Temple, looked at the two high-ranking officials on the side.
"Liu Siqing, please continue." Fan Yushi said.
At this time, the minister of Dali Temple frowned, looked at the government officials, and said:
"Here comes someone!"
"Since these officials refuse to plead guilty, then bring their families here."
"yes!"
After shouting, these government officials quickly divided into several pairs and went to the homes of these officials who were unwilling to plead guilty.
In fact, this need not be the case.
If they don't plead guilty, we can beat them until they lose their strength, ask them to write a testimony, and force them to press their fingerprints, and that's it.
Of course, today's court is not the court of the past.
Although this method is possible, they still want the people to believe it as much as possible.
I believe this is just, and I believe that the reason why Su Yunqi and others confessed was not because the court deliberately added guilt or forced them to do so.
Since Emperor Chen Ziyuan succeeded to the throne, Da Mo has also been improving day by day.
Although it is not very obvious, people can feel it.
"Take them all away!"
"Don't let anyone go!"
With the shout of an order, everyone in the Su Mansion courtyard was like a mouse meeting a cat, running around, and screams were heard everywhere.
But soon, these people were caught by these government officials.
"Be honest!"
Listening to the shouting, the second lady Lan, whose hands were pressed, asked confidently: "Why are you arresting us?"
The leading Yamen servant listened and replied:
"be honest!"
“You’ll find out when you get to Dali Temple!”
Then, the leading yamen officer looked at the captured Su family members and shouted: "Later, what will Liu Siqing ask you? Answer truthfully! If someone deliberately conceals it, don't even think about getting out!"
Immediately afterwards, the leading yamen officer issued the final order: "Take away!"
Not only the Su Mansion was like this, but the Cen Mansion was no exception.
Not long after, the family members of these officials who pleaded not guilty were taken to Dali Temple.
Dali Temple is the largest government office in Da Mo and is responsible for major cases. The venue in Dali Temple is quite spacious.
"Qing Liu Si, we've brought you here."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Okay." Liu Siqing responded and glanced at Su Yunqi, Yang Youcheng, Cen Wenxing and others who were kneeling on the ground in front of them.
"Those of you who plead guilty will receive a lighter punishment. If you deny it, don't blame me for being rude."
"Whether you admit it now or not, I will only count these three sounds."
"one!"
"two!"
As soon as the second call came, Cen Anze, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and shouted:
"I think!"
"I think."
Seeing Cen Anze, Minister of the Ministry of War, recognize him, several senior officials felt a little more happy, but their faces were still calm.
"good!"
"If you dare to act bravely, you are a man!"
Liu Zhen, the minister of Dali Temple, praised.
Cen Anze, the Minister of Revenue, who was kneeling on the ground, was very unhappy when he saw his son confessing his crime. He cursed in a low voice: "It's in the bag!"
These words happened to be heard by Cen Anze and several senior officials on the stage.
"Cen Anze."
"Since you admit it, let's talk about what your father and others, including yourself, have done to disgrace the people."
After listening, Cen Anze, Minister of the Ministry of War, answered without much hesitation:
"good."
"Our Cen family and Su family are in-laws."
"More than ten years ago, when Su Yunqi was still the Minister of Household Affairs, he decided to befriend my father in order to recruit more officials."
"My father also accepted the offer for the sake of the stability of his official position. He married his eldest sister Cen Yinzhu to the Su Mansion. The original plan was to marry Su Runchen, the eldest young master of the Su Mansion. However, Su Runchen of the Su Mansion had high vision and disliked my eldest sister."
"Su Yunqi didn't want to ruin the relationship with my father, so he hurriedly asked his second young master Su Yanzhi to attend the wedding."
"From then on, whenever there was a disaster in Damo, my father and the officials would always help him, and they would lift Su Yunqi up and let him go."
"Later, Su Yunqi successively gained Emperor Dechang's trust."
"Once, Emperor Dechang wanted to hold a celebration banquet for the soldiers who had won the war, and he knew that the emperor would greet them at the south gate of the capital that day."
"My father planned a plot with Su Yunqi and others. They arranged for assassins to appear and shoot arrows not far from the emperor in an attempt to scare the emperor."
Hearing this, before the three officials on the stage could say anything, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs and the father of Cen Anze, the Minister of War, said hurriedly:
"enough!"
"Anze! Stop talking. You can't save us!"
Cen Anze ignored his father's objection and continued:
"Since then, the emperor has been disturbed. At that time, Huang Xiang and Li Xiang were also slightly injured."
"It seems. At that time, Huang Xiang and Li Xiang did something that was sorry for the people. My father and Su Yunqi had known about it for a long time, but they chose this moment to kill two birds with one stone."
"The two prime ministers were beheaded for this, but the emperor was so frightened by the assassination that he did not go to court early in the morning."
"Su Yunqi got his wish and became Prime Minister Zuo."
"By the way, there is also his student named Yang Youcheng. When the water seepage occurred in Emperor Hongdao's mausoleum, Yang Youcheng was replaced as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he was the one who planned it first."
"Also, the queen who lives in the harem, the reason why this matter was successful is also due to her contribution."
"However, this queen spends a lot of money in the harem, which is not worthy of being called the mother of the world at all. It is simply a waste of people and money. She only eats seasonal fruits, fresh ones, and doesn't want any fruits that don't look good."
"If it weren't for her, this country would
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
How could the money in the treasury only go out but not come in? "
"Furthermore, if they hadn't done anything that was sorry to the people, how could Su Yunqi be afraid of the queen and dare not admonish the queen? That's because he was afraid that the queen would be unhappy, so he told the emperor directly."
"If the emperor looks back and finds that many things are inconsistent with what Su Yunqi said, he will be relieved of his duties."
After hearing these words, the three officials sitting on the stage felt a little happier.
"Su Yunqi!"
"Do you admit it?!"
Liu Zhen, the minister of Dali Temple, patted the tree and asked.
Su Yunqi had no intention of recognizing him, and glanced at the three officials on the stage: "I don't recognize him!"
"Okay!" Liu Zhen, the minister of Dali Temple, looked at the young and old family of Su Mansion, "Since you are unwilling to admit it, I will have to give them some punishment."
As soon as the words were spoken, Su Yunqi's expression changed, and he glanced over there secretly, and saw that it was indeed his family, even his grandson had been brought.
But at this moment, Su Yunqi was not at his softest.
He retracted his gaze, closed his eyes slightly, and looked towards the floor, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing that Su Yunqi didn't say anything, and that the two high-ranking officials on the side had no objection, Liu Zhen, the minister of Dali Temple, could only look at his family.
"You don't want to be punished!"
"Tell me everything you know, and I won't use torture."
"If you insist on protecting your master, then I will have to beat you until you are willing to speak out."
As soon as Liu Siqing finished speaking, Cen Yinzhu, the second daughter-in-law with red eyes, stood up:
"I said."
It seems that what big brother Cen Anze said just now has no effect.
Maybe Cen Yinzhu was still young at the time and thought her father was just worried that she wouldn't be able to get married, so she found someone at random. But now it seems that she feels that the marriage was not random anymore.
Now I fully understand my father's intention.
"Brother is right."
"I am Cen Yinzhu."
"If it hadn't been for my eldest brother, I would still have been kept in the dark. They only have official positions and salaries in their eyes, and they don't care about the people and their families."
"As for the rest, my brother and I agree."
Hearing what Cen Yinzhu said, the three officials sitting on the stage could not wait for them to confess their crimes.
"Su Yunqi, Cen Wenxing, it's been so long, do you recognize it or not?"
"But you still want me to find a few more people who accuse you?"
"Let's put it this way."
"If you admit it now, at most you will be punished. If you don't admit it, not only you will be punished, but your family members will also be punished."
After hearing this, it didn't matter to Cen Wenxing. After all, he didn't have any relatives.
For officials like Su Yunqi, Yang Youcheng and others, they did not want to see their family members punished because of them.
Finally, Su Yunqi admitted his mistake:
"I know my mistake."
"I admit this crime."
Upon hearing this, the three officials on the stage suddenly had a smile on their faces.
At this time, Cen He, the Minister of Punishment, spoke: "Wouldn't it have been better if I had known this earlier? I have suffered so much for nothing. Dare to do it and dare to admit it, this is a man."
Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu in the middle, looked at the people outside who were discussing heatedly and asked:
"Look, folks! Now, are there still people who say that officials like Su Yunqi were wronged and that they are honest officials?"
