A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.
At this juncture, Chen Youguang wouldn't care so much.
Moreover, the emperor himself is already suspicious of this matter, and the clues are not difficult to find out. Now that there is an opportunity to reduce the guilt, why not do it?
Moreover, he did not have a good relationship with Wei Xuezheng.
It only took two or three months for us to become colleagues in this city that never sleeps at the police station.
The most important thing is that he himself is a Jinshi, and the person named Wei is Jin Yiwei.
Factory guards, factory guards, none of them are good.
What are you doing here to help him with such a difficult lie?
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Youguang explained everything clearly, saying: "...the reason why the conclusion was delayed a few days was because I and the others did not initially rule that the two young masters from the Earl's Palace would not be allowed to go to this tofu shop again. shop."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in Qianqing Palace began to change.
But Zhu Houzhao actually had no other ideas, "Given your official position, I can understand. So that means this case has been tried at least twice. How did it end the first time?"
The emperor said something that was understandable. Chen Youguang suddenly felt some hope and immediately kowtowed, "Your Majesty, forgive me! As your Majesty said, no matter whether it is Uncle Weining or Uncle Changning's mansion, wherever the people from the two Earls' mansions go or don't go, Even if the police made a ruling, it was useless. I couldn't stop any of them. So in this first trial, I only lost money. But the proprietress of the tofu shop didn't appreciate it, and she insisted on it. The two of you are not allowed to go to the tofu shop again, and you are yelling at Xiaogong Hall. I and Wei Baihu have no choice but to drink her away."
"Then why was it later ruled that these two people were not allowed to go?"
"Later, Uncle Chang Ning and Uncle Wei Ning came to the door in person and took the initiative to ask for things to be done in accordance with the court's laws. That's why the second trial result was obtained."
In fact, it sounds good this way.
The powerful Earl's Palace has repeatedly made concessions, first to pay compensation, and then to actively demand that the law should not be bent for personal gain. As a public security station, they have considered the right thing. The ruling is useless, so why should it be ruled?
wrong!
Zhu Houzhao suddenly thought of something. Since Doctor Tan said it, this matter must not have been resolved.
Since it is not resolved...
"Chen Youguang, I ask you, will Zhou and Wang go there again afterwards?"
Chen Youguang opened his eyes wide and said, "Let's go! Your Majesty, as I said, the people from the Earl's Palace, how can a humble official like me stop him?"
"madness!"
Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he got angry on the spot.
This eucalyptus,
He listened left and right, but really couldn't hear anything wrong.
The Earl's Mansion did not bully others, or in other words, it did so a little bit, but at least it offered money to compensate.
In this era, it is really not easy for a person of this status to treat civilians in such a manner.
It was strange at first, what went wrong.
It was only at this moment that he finally understood that the problem was decided by the Public Security Bureau, but it was useless!
"The city that never sleeps attracts people and merchants with its prosperity and order. Now that it has just opened, the prestige of your security office has plummeted! Isn't this stupid? In the first trial, the fear of the powerful has made the people quite suspicious. In the second trial, The result was useless, and it made people know the weakness of the public security office. Is this what I told you when I set up the public security office?! Especially you, Wei Xuezheng. You are a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu, you should understand in front of me, you should What to say, how to say it.”
The emperor made some accusations and criticized everyone here.
Wei Xuezheng was even more frightened and said, "I know my mistake! Please, please spare my life. Next time, I will definitely do meritorious service!"
Zhu Houzhao said nothing.
He doesn't need to speak. If Mao Yuwen still can't understand this, then he doesn't deserve to live today.
The identities of these two people are actually quite different.
Chen Youguang was a civil servant. He was in the Ministry of Justice and in the literary world. He would still care more or less about his reputation among scholars.
But Jin Yiwei is different.
To put it bluntly, why did the emperor put the royal guards inside and let them interrogate the eucalyptus in the same hall as these Jinshi?
It means that they should represent the emperor and be the emperor's ears and eyes!
This person’s prelude is right today, Wei Xuezheng should have supplemented Chen Youguang’s recital!
This is the most fundamental problem of Jin Yiwei. If he loses this point, he will lose the value of his existence.
This is the bottom line. We cannot be weak and merciful at this time.
Zhu Houzhao felt cruel and had some calculations in his heart.
"Li Qing, Yu Wen, what do you two have to say?"
Mao Yuwen knew his problem, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, "The Imperial Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers, and the humble ministers know their duties. This time, I have no way to control you, and I am willing to receive twenty military sticks! If your majesty can stay This is a humble order, I will definitely rectify the Jin Yiwei after I return!"
Zhu Houzhao looked calm and said: "Take this person away together, I don't want to see him."
Wei Xuezheng's whole person is like falling into an ice cellar! It’s over!
"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!"
This kind of shouting is useless.
In fact, Mao Yuwen's own summary is very accurate. The duty of Jin Yiwei cannot be forgotten.
"Your Majesty." Gu Zuo is not worried about his life. He is now worried about the matter itself. "I would like to ask for orders to investigate this case in detail. If it is like what I said today, then this case is not a small case."
"It doesn't have to be like this. Li Qing, your duty is not to investigate. Liu Jin,"
"My slave is here."
"Do you have any tough-minded people among you, the ceremonial supervisors?"
Liu Jin lowered his eyebrows and said, "The chief ministers are all rootless people. Whether they are tough or not depends on your majesty's words. If your majesty says to kill, the slaves will kill. If you are tough to kill, if your majesty says to kneel, the slaves will kneel."
"Okay. Then you find a suitable person and send him to the public security station. Just use the name of Director of Ceremonies. I don't believe it. You can't find the word "Wang Fa" in the capital!"
"His Majesty!"
When Gu Zuo heard this, he felt something was wrong. The power of eunuchs continues to expand, and now they have to extend to the city that never sleeps. This is always inappropriate. Moreover, Liu Jin is cruel, what if he destroys the overall situation of the city that never sleeps?
"I sincerely request your Majesty to hand over this case to the minister for re-examination, and I will give you an explanation at that time."
"The Chief of Ceremony is responsible for this matter. In fact, this is not a good job. If the people below can't manage it, the people above will suffer. Do you think Liu Jin is full of joy now? If he doesn't handle it well, he will also be punished by his own people. He is deceived, and Mao Yuwen’s twenty military sticks are indispensable to him.”
Liu Jin smiled and said, "My slaves have taken over the errand. There is no reason not to be happy. It is a blessing for my slaves to be able to relieve His Majesty's worries."
"Okay. Let's do it. I have just made it clear about the harm of this. Do you know what the crux is?"
Liu Jin nodded, "I understand, your majesty. Your Majesty wants people to know that what the court has said is true."
What the court said remains true.
Liu Jin is a eunuch, but he can still say a subtle sentence.
But actually this sentence can be more specific, for example...who is the imperial court?
"It's me, I must keep my word."
Zhu Houzhao walked to Gu Zuo and said: "From the prince to the emperor, from the supervisor of the country to the pro-government, I have been sitting in this position for several years. Regarding the way of governing the country, I don't know how many people have said it. But in my own opinion, No matter what you do, you must not lose the word 'faith'. The emperor's words are valid once they have been said, and this rule cannot be exceeded. Mr. Li, you have to understand me. Sometimes the world cannot be blindly tolerant and benevolent, and some people must know that it will ruin the court. According to the law, it just doesn’t work.”
"His Majesty……"
"If not, the city that never sleeps will not be able to prosper." Zhu Houzhao said firmly, looking into his eyes.
Gu Zuo was finally convinced. He took two steps back, lowered his head and bowed, "I obey the order."
The emperor turned around and glanced at Liu Jin,
With his eyes in place, Eunuch Liu lowered his head and left Qianqing Palace, taking Chen Youguang with him.
It is inevitable that he will be punished by death and that he will be punished by living. The specific outcome will depend on his performance.
In fact, in the eyes of civil servants, the emperor was not cruel, but Eunuch Liu was different...
Moreover, Eunuch Liu is also a wise person.
Even though he had not read and listened to it clearly, there was one aspect of the matter that he had not said a word, and he was aware of this.
So he went back to the Supervisor of Ceremonies to pass the order, and then Dongchang's fanzi followed him out of the palace to the city that never sleeps.
In the sedan, he also expressed his grievances to Chen Youguang, "You self-proclaimed civil servants always think that our family has too much control. But our family's Chief of Ceremonies and Priest of the Eunuch are the dogs who guard the emperor's gates. , It is the emperor’s saying to control the many and control the few. So, if you don’t live up to your expectations, don’t say those complaining words.”
Just now, Gu Zuo wanted to exclude the Chief of Ceremonies from intervening in the matter in front of the emperor, and Liu Jin also remembered it in his heart.
But when it comes to Chen Youguang, it doesn't mean much. This guy bows his head in front of the powerful, and he has no dignity in the face of power, so nodding is like trash.
Liu Jin was somewhat proud.
"However, it is precisely because you people are dishonest. Your Majesty wants to use our family."
"Liu...Eunuch Liu, where are we going?"
"Where to go. Of course, to the Central Street of the Nightless City. Your Majesty wants to create a scene for the merchants here, and the Supervisor of Ceremonies is able to support the scene."
I originally expected them to make the decision for the shops here, but they failed!
However, Liu Jin arrived outside the city that never sleeps and waited for a while.
Until someone came to report that people from Uncle Chang Ning and Uncle Wei Ning's Mansion were there again.
Liu Jin then ordered, "Get up the sedan!"
At the same time, he ordered Chen Youguang beside him: "You will insist immediately that the Public Security Bureau has indeed ruled that the two of them cannot go to this store. You don't need to say more about the rest."
Chen Youguang didn't dare to say anything and said honestly: "Yes."
The sedan chair of the eunuch who is the Chief of Ceremony is maroon red. Inside is a large armchair with bamboo poles on both sides. There is a footboard under the chair. There is no curtain to match. The inside and outside can see each other. There are eight people in the sedan chair. They were carried together, with Dongchang fans guarding them in front and behind.
Such a grand scene attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered the main entrance of Evernight City.
What's going on today?
