Xuanqingwei, who had direction and fewer constraints, was like a loaded carriage going downhill. Whoever stood in his way would die.
The Major Case Division of the Ministry of Criminal Justice has tried its best to slow down Xuan Qingwei's investigation. However, they have too little information and have no idea of the direction of the investigation. Their actions are as meaningless as headless flies.
In fact, except for those who had read the letter Qin Xiuyuan wrote to Qin Wenhe before his death, who would have thought that the focus of Xuanqing Guard's investigation was no longer the third member of the Qin family, but the eldest daughter of the eldest member of the Qin family. Qin Yurou?
A few days later, the civil service group felt that something was not good, so they did not care much, and directly focused on the officials in the temple, launching a crazy impeachment against Pang Ban, who had nowhere to hide.
What about "killing innocent people indiscriminately", or "violating the law", or "using public weapons for private use"... Anyway, as long as it is a crime that can lose your head, you don't want to throw money at Pang Ban.
As for Pang Ban, he was like a wooden stake, standing motionless in the train without making any excuses, or even paying any attention to him. The zhenqi on his body is also restrained as usual, and he looks harmless to humans and animals. But no matter whether it was the Yanguan who was verbally criticizing him, the military officer who was standing closer to him, or anyone in the Wanmin Palace, they would not think that this silent old man with half a hundred hair was easy to bully.
When have you ever seen a crocodile roar? It is in the water, on the shore, like a stone, but who dares to get close?
"Your Majesty, Xuan Qingwei is now like a nail driven into the bone. An inch forward is the pulse of the heart. You must not tolerate this anymore! Your Majesty!"
"I have risked my life to remonstrate, and I am ready to be killed by the Xuanqing Guards when I return. It is not a pity for me to die, but why should the common people in the world deserve it? Your Majesty, please make the decision for the common people!"
"Your Majesty, under the banner of His Majesty's pro-army forces, Xuanqing Guard has done all kinds of evil outside, and it has reached the point where it is difficult to describe. Just a verbal exchange, a small official from a hundred households at the time dared to put people in jail, and then brutally killed several people. ...Now even Mr. Qin and his family are not spared. How rampant is this? How crazy?! Your Majesty, please severely punish these rats and snakes to rectify the world..."
The admonitions of the officials were deafening and heart-wrenching.
You recited the accusations one by one, and after you finished speaking, you didn't get up from your knees, just waiting for the emperor to accuse Xuanqing Wei. By the time he finished what needed to be said, dozens of people were already kneeling on the ground. Among them, there were those who came up to advise, and there were also those who came out to second the proposal. The first few people kneeling down were all the bosses of the civil service group. The leader among them is Left Prime Minister Ye Lansheng. As well as the other five ministers in the six books except the Ministry of War...
This battle is not small. Although the people in the military office were not too worried about the excitement, they were also shocked by the drama played by the civil servants.
what's the situation? Do you want to put up a fight like this all of a sudden?
Under normal circumstances, this kind of "kneel down and petition" is used when making a desperate move or a decisive moment. Now that there was no warning beforehand, does it count as a sudden attack?
This kind of situation is not something you can get away with just by pretending to be dead and being a fool. The emperor who is sitting high must not turn a blind eye. Nowadays, the entire hall can be heard in silence.
"Pangban."
"I'm here."
"What do you have to say about the impeachment of the ministers?" Yang Jian's voice sounded deeper than before. His face was also a bit paler than before. Anyone could tell that something was wrong with Yang Jian's physical condition. But no one dared to say anything. It's best to just pretend to be confused about this kind of thing. Unless the emperor takes the initiative to bring it up, anyone who asks has "ulterior motives" and will lose their head.
In addition, no matter where the emperor goes now, there is one more person by his side: the owner of Fenghong Villa and the leader of the Golden Sword cultivator, Yang Xiu Sheng. Yang Xiu Sheng followed the emperor closely. At this moment, he was standing less than one foot away from the emperor.
When Pang Ban heard the emperor calling him, he walked out of the queue in an orderly manner and bowed in response.
But even after he was out of the queue, Pang Ban still didn't look at the civil servants kneeling on the ground. How can a group of people who like to scratch their lips understand that everything is done and not said. Talking without proof, relying on rumors and things outside the scope of the law are all the same old tricks. Pang Ban has experienced this kind of scene eight times if not ten times.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"speak."
Pang Ban took out a rubbing letter from the storage bag in his arms and handed it to the eunuch next to him, showing the emperor sitting high on it. At the same time, he said: "This is a family letter that His Royal Highness, King Shou, found from his body after he helped me, Xuanqing Guard, to trap the wanted criminal Qin Xiuyuan. The words in it are conclusive. Although it is not a proven fact, it also revealed a conspiracy that has been going on for a long time. A shameless conspiracy against Xuan Qingwei."
Pang Ban spoke briefly. He didn't mean to explain it to everyone in the hall.
After reading the letter, the emperor put it away and asked: "There are reasons for everything, but it also needs to be proven. Although the responsibilities of the Xuanqing Guard can go beyond the law, they cannot bite randomly, let alone act recklessly. Now the ministers are extremely dissatisfied with Xuanqingwei, how do you explain it?"
The power of Xuanqingwei is not determined by Yang Jian, as has been the case with emperors of all dynasties. Who dares to change it easily? Now the emperor does not ask directly about the crime, but how to "explain" it. This made the people kneeling below feel a little thump in their hearts, secretly thinking that something was going to happen. I am curious about what was written in the letter Pang Ban showed to the emperor. It actually meant to reverse the situation?
"Xuanqingwei has always been responsible only to His Majesty when handling cases. If Your Majesty thinks that Xuanqingwei is guilty, then he is guilty. If Your Majesty thinks that Xuanqingwei is innocent, then he is not guilty. Although Mr. Ye and others claim to be common people and shout for the world's commonwealth, these people who support the nation are not guilty. The Xuanqing Guards have always tried their best to protect the people, sacrificing thousands of people every year and never slacking off. It is far more meaningful than shouting a few empty words."
After Pang Ban finished speaking, he bowed and handed over his hands, but still did not look at the people kneeling on the ground. Although he said few words, they were all heart-breaking words. In other words, he almost pointed at these civil servants and cursed them with the word "hypocrisy."
"Good riddance to you, you Pangban! Don't spit on anyone!"
Many people were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that Pang Ban, who had always refused to retaliate, would actually have a sharp day with his words. When he came back to his senses, his face was immediately red with anger.
I earn a salary and support my family by criticizing people with my mouth. You actually play with me in my professional field? Are you insulting my professional abilities?
I can't bear it! So Yan Guan, who was kneeling on his knees, immediately jumped up and started cursing with his hands on his hips. His eloquence was definitely much sharper than Pang Ban's few words. But those with a discerning eye knew that the situation had turned to Pang Ban's side. Being louder does not necessarily mean you have the upper hand.
People knelt on the ground, and the left prime minister took the lead. If this face was not given, the emperor would not end well.
"Pang Ban, there are still five days until August. If you can't settle this case and give an explanation to the ministers within five days, then you will use your head as an explanation. Do you understand?"
