"Bold!" Xun Busan cursed: "The following are the bastards..."
"You're blocking my view!" Zhu Jun pushed Xun Busan aside as he jumped out.
"Your Highness, these people should be killed with a stick!" Xun Busan said.
Zhu Jun ignored him and looked at Fang Xiaozhi. To be honest, even if this world is a parallel world of Daye.
But a lot of things have changed, and the trajectories of some characters have changed beyond recognition.
Who knows whether Fang Kachin is a good official or a corrupt official.
But Fang Xiaozhi is willing to bear the blame for his father, and he is also a filial person, not much different.
At this time, Fang Xiaozhi also realized that he had said the wrong thing. Although he was frightened, he still endured his weakness and got up, knelt on the bed, and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, King Wu, don't blame me. The common people are not laughing at Your Highness." the meaning of!"
"Oh, are you not laughing at me, or are you praising me?" Zhu Jun said lightly.
Fang Xiaozhi didn't understand why King Wu would save him, but after thinking about it, he was not a bad person, and after coming to the capital, even when he was temporarily detained in prison, he heard a lot of news related to Zhu Jun.
He is the one who talks about being able to save time and money, and the Six Wise Kings who attach great importance to love and righteousness.
"The guilty people used inappropriate words, please punish His Highness King Wu!" He did not quibble, "But in the hearts of the common people, Your Highness is a wise king!"
"I thought you would make such a grounded argument!" Zhu Jun became interested in the thin young man in front of him. He could hardly kneel unsteadily. He gasped for air after saying a word, but the look in his eyes said, He wasn't too afraid, his eyes were still bright.
"A slip of the tongue is a slip of the tongue, and the word "crazy" is not a good word even to the extreme!" Fang Xiao said bluntly.
Zhu Jun waved, and the servant brought the cooked porridge and a plate of side dishes, "Eat, regain some strength and talk to me!"
Fang Xiao looked straight at the white porridge and pickles in front of him, and his throat kept throbbing. His stomach had been empty for too long, and even a bowl of porridge was a delicacy to him.
He quickly climbed out of bed. The room was as warm as spring, and the carpet under his feet was so soft that his black feet couldn't even bear to step on it. He took the porridge and knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Wu!"
Immediately he let out a sigh and started drinking.
Because his father was framed, his journey into exile was not smooth. If he hadn't been young, he would have died on the road.
Just like this time, if he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Zhu Jun, he might have lost his life. How could he drink hot rice porridge?
Maybe he was very hungry, but he could hardly feel the heat. After eating a bowl of porridge, his whole body felt warm, and he licked his mouth with unsatisfied feelings.
But Zhu Jun did not ask anyone to bring him porridge again, but said: "Eating too much at one time will easily overwhelm you. This porridge made with chicken soup is very filling. You should have the strength to speak!"
Talk about your own affairs and your father’s affairs, but you must tell the truth! "
Fang Xiaozhi was so grateful that he looked at Zhu Jun and wanted to give him his heart. He knew that this was a good opportunity. Once Zhu Jun reached out to help, his whole family would be saved.
"Please His Highness King Wu take the initiative to redress the grievances of the common people!" Fang Xiaozhi said with a straight face.
Zhu Jun sat there, "Speak slowly!"
"yes!"
Fang Xiaozhi tried his best to collect his thoughts as clearly as possible, and then said: "The sinner's father is the prefect of Jining, Fang Keqin.
In the third year of Shenwu, Sinmin's father was rewarded by His Majesty and given the title of Jining Magistrate. During these five years, he did not dare to say that he had worked hard, but he was also very dedicated to his work and did not dare to neglect it for a day.
If His Highness doesn't believe it, you can go to Jining for an unannounced visit at any time, and the people will give you the answer!
However, because the father of the guilty people was too honest and unwilling to collude with the local officials, he was often deceived by those people.
In the spring of the eighth year of Shenwu, my father came to Beijing and was praised by His Majesty.
However, in May of the same year, my father was falsely accused by Cheng Gong, the magistrate of Cao County, and other bureaucrats.
So much so that my father was denounced by the court.
The fundamental reason is that Cheng Gong was beaten by my father because he did not seek political power, and he held a grudge.
But Yang Yushi, who was investigating the case, was a friend of Cheng Gong, and he couldn't find anything wrong with my father. Finally, Yang Yushi fabricated the story that my father had embezzled two hundred kilograms of charcoal and firewood from the government to heat his home.
His Highness King Wu made it clear that even if the living room my family lives in is so simple that it cannot block the rain or the wind, it does not prevent us from staying together as a family to keep warm. "
After embezzling two hundred kilograms of charcoal and firewood from an official's house, a magistrate was dismissed, and his son was punished and exiled. Doesn't it sound ridiculous at first glance?
But this is the normal state of the Shenwu Dynasty.
If you embezzle ten taels, you have to peel off the skin and fill it with grass. These two hundred kilograms of charcoal, if handled properly, are enough to kill Fang Keqin!
"If I am not mistaken, are you from eastern Zhejiang?"
"Back to His Highness King Wu, Cao Min's family is from Ninghai County in eastern Zhejiang!" Fang Xiao said straightly.
"Where is your father now?"
"Return to His Highness King Wu and be sent to work in Pujiang County!"
Zhu Jun nodded, this matter is not simple, "You seem to be Song Lian's disciple!"
"Yes!" Fang Xiaozhi nodded, "I have been studying under Mr. Song, and it is Mr. Song who has protected me till now, which is why I have not been exiled to Guangzhou.
But this case has been nailed down, even Mr. Song can't save me! "
"Song Lian didn't find my eldest brother?"
Fang Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could he not look for it? After this incident, Song Lian went to find Zhu Yu.
But this matter is not just as simple as Cheng Gong’s false accusation.
The prince also said that he took the opportunity of patrolling the border to visit Jining Mansion, but when he came back, he fell from his horse and almost died.
So the matter was dragged on here, and he did not dare to trouble Song Lian.
Zhu Jun understood that his elder brother must have found nothing. He could only say that these people did a great job.
This is the cleverness of the other party. Instead of falsely accusing Fang Keqin of receiving two hundred taels, he falsely accused him of stealing two hundred catties of charcoal.
If Fang Keqin is really so incorruptible that even the place where he lives is leaking, then the IOU does not necessarily require gold and silver, but charcoal and wood are what he needs most.
This totally holds up.
And this matter is quite interesting. Fang Keqin is from eastern Zhejiang, and the censor is Qingliu, who is also from the eastern Zhejiang lineage, but his own people are doing their own thing.
Liu Ji didn't ask about this matter?
Or are you tired of dealing with the attacks from the Huaixi lineage?
In other words, was penetrated?
"Then do you have evidence to prove what you said?" Zhu Jun asked.
Fang Xiaozhi shook his head, "No!"
"This matter of yours is difficult to handle and difficult to investigate. Even if we send people there, it will already be a solid case!" Zhu Jun said: "Two hundred kilograms of charcoal wood have been used long ago. If there is no trace of it, even if I Big Brother’s past case was also a headless case, do you understand?”
Fang Xiaozhi looked dejected, "Is it true that justice cannot be served if those people are allowed to do whatever they want?"
"Not exactly!" Zhu Jun smiled.
Looking at Zhu Jun, Fang Xiaozhi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, "Please redress your injustice, His Majesty the King of Wu. The common people are willing to work hard for His Majesty in the future!"
