Chapter 436 Horror! Is He Involved in the Jingjiang King 1 Case?
Latest website:
Guilin, Jingjiang Palace.
Jin Chun, the Minister of Justice, looked at Jingjiang King Zhu Zuojing with no pity in his eyes.
He was ordered to come to thoroughly investigate the various atrocities committed by the Jingjiang Palace in Guilin, and the results were truly outrageous.
This lineage of King Jingjiang, relying on the preferential treatment and favor given to them by the emperors of the past dynasties, has become a presence like a local emperor in Guilin Mansion.
Arrogant and extravagant, driving up prices, robbing women, preying on the common people...
His crimes are simply too numerous to describe!
If Guo You hadn't openly exposed the crimes of King Jingjiang's lineage in the court that day, the people of Guilin Prefecture would still be exploited by them and live in dire straits.
This is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty!
Seeing these charges one after another, Jin Chun felt respect for the Han prince who was in charge of the country for the first time, and for the first time supported his policy of releasing the kings abroad.
It is much better to release all these Ming vassal kings and let them go out to harm overseas barbarians than to let them harm the people of Ming Dynasty!
The king of Jingjiang, Zhu Zuojing, had already been stripped of his uniform and became a prisoner.
But he still didn't give up and kept shouting at Jin Chun: "You damn bastard, how dare you touch me?"
"Your Majesty will never let you go when he returns to the capital. I am a member of the Ming Dynasty. There are people above me. How dare you treat me like this..."
Jin Chun: “???”
What?
Is there anyone up there?
And such unexpected surprises?
When Jin Chun heard this, he immediately stopped trying.
In fact, when he received the order to come to Guilin to conduct a thorough investigation of the Jingjiang Prince's Mansion, Jin Chun had doubted whether the Jingjiang Prince had colluded with important officials in the court.
After all, if no one in the court had covered up his various atrocities in Guilin Mansion, it would have caused an uproar in the world, and it would not have been Guo You's turn to report and expose them.
Furthermore, because of Zhu Zuojing's clan status, most officials turned a deaf ear to his evil deeds.
As long as you don't go too far and do anything rebellious, they can turn a blind eye.
After all, compared to treason and rebellion, it is nothing if you plunder some people's wealth and support.
Under such a premise, the imperial court chose to protect and condone them, which further fueled the arrogance of these clan princes.
Then the court officials were wise enough to protect themselves. Even if they learned of Zhu Zuojing's evil deeds, they would not dare to impeach him.
Jin Chun really didn't expect that Zhu Zuojing would be so arrogant and stupid that he would take the initiative to call out the descendants behind him!
Are you challenging my Jin Chun's bottom line?
Jin Chun sneered, and then waved his hand, indicating to the soldiers to take him down.
"The Jingjiang Prince's Mansion is sealed off, all personnel are detained, and all items are carefully inspected!"
"I would like to see who dares to protect this thief and make meat for our people, the Ming Dynasty!"
Following Jin Chun's order, a large number of Jin Yiwei rushed into the Jingjiang Prince's Mansion and began digging three feet into the ground to search for evidence of crime.
Guo You walked to Jin Chun and said tentatively: "Sir, why don't Zhu Zuojing... be punished?"
Hearing this, Jin Chun rolled his eyes at him angrily.
This guy is really young, he doesn’t know the heights of the world, and he wants to execute the Ming Dynasty clan members!
"You'an, you are still young and have a long way to go in the future, so you must not act impulsively."
"Even if Zhu Zuojing's crime is confirmed, I would like to kill him directly, but after all, he is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and his status is sensitive and special."
"If we abuse lynching and torture, and the emperor learns about it, he will definitely punish us, and you and I will be left with nothing to eat!"
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if a prince of the clan makes a mistake, even if it is not a heinous crime such as rebellion, the crime will be reduced by one level, and torture will not be imposed. This is to maintain the majesty of the royal family.
Therefore, this bottom line cannot be touched!
Guo You's face looked a little ugly when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer.
It is clear that the evidence of Zhu Zuojing's guilt is conclusive, and the atrocities he committed are too numerous to describe and are outrageous, but what was the result?
At most, he was deposed as a commoner and imprisoned in the high wall of Nangong, but he still lived a life without worries about food and clothing.
And some of the innocent people who died tragically in his hands had no bones left and their entire families were wiped out!
Is this fair?
unfair!
Perhaps seeing that he was a little depressed, Jin Chun stepped forward and patted his shoulder, sighing: "There are some things that we can't change. You have done a good job. If you hadn't taken the risk to expose the crimes of Prince Jingjiang, , I am afraid that the people of Guilin Prefecture will still be in dire straits."
"You'an, you have done a good job for the people and are not afraid of power. Leave the rest to us old men!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Su, one of the hundreds of Jinyi guards accompanying him, suddenly came forward and handed the two of them a list of names.
"Two adults, this is the list found in the dark room of King Jingjiang's palace!"
Jin Chun: “!!!”
List!
There really is a list!
Is it possible that some of the Nine Lords will be involved?
Jin Chun subconsciously took a look at the list, but his face suddenly changed drastically, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"This...this is impossible!"
The dignified Minister of Justice, a third-rank court official, was so frightened by this list that his face turned pale, without any trace of blood.
Guo You was greatly shocked when he saw this. He couldn't help but poke his head in to take a look, but his pupils were so frightened that he lost his voice in shock.
This list is densely filled with official names. Except for the officials of the Chief Secretary of Guangxi, most of them are court officials from the capital!
There is no doubt that this is a bribe list!
Jingjiang King Zhu Zuojing plundered people's wealth and used it to bribe these court officials and let them cover up for him in the court, thus doing whatever he wanted in Guilin!
Jin Chun had already thought of this possibility before leaving.
However, the person at the top of this list is also the person who has taken the largest amount of bribes. He is Peng Chengbo Zhang Chang!
The commander of the right guard of the government army, Peng Chengbo, Zhang Chang!
The eldest brother of the Crown Princess!
His Royal Highness’s uncle!
How could this be?
How could King Jingjiang bribe Zhang Chang?
You must know that Zhang Chang inherited the title of Pengcheng Bo and received the idle post of commander of the right guard of the government army just because of his status as a relative.
There was no need for Zhu Zuojing to bribe such a relative with no real power!
Unless... the one he bribed was not Zhang Chang, but the Crown Princess, or in other words, the Crown Prince!
The prince is related to the case of King Jingjiang!
When Jin Chun thought of this possibility, he broke out in cold sweat and his back was soaked!
The prince accepted Zhu Zuojing's bribe and chose to cover up and condone Zhu Zuojing's evil atrocities in Guilin Mansion!
If this kind of thing is confirmed, then Prince Zhu Gaochi will be doomed!
He has always been kind and generous, and is deeply respected and respected by both the government and the public!
But if this matter is true, then Zhu Gaochi is different from what he appears to be, and he does one thing in front of his face and another behind his back...
On the surface he is a kind and virtuous prince, but secretly he is a greedy villain!
Accepting bribes, shielding the criminals, and allowing Zhu Zuo to prey on the common people and persecute the whole party!
If this is true, Prince Zhu Gaochi... is finished!
Guo You's face was full of shock, and then it turned into rage!
"Sir, this...is this true?"
"His Royal Highness, he..."
"Shut up!" Jin Chun yelled angrily, "This case is currently only related to Peng Chengbo Zhang Chang, don't make any assumptions!"
"Sir, the evidence is conclusive, so what's the use of Zhu Zuojing spending a lot of money to bribe Zhang Chang, a Pengcheng uncle..."
"Guo You! This case is not as simple as you think!"
"Sir! The innocent souls of those people who died tragically are all looking at you!"
Jinyiwei Baihu Mu Su had no expression on his face and watched quietly as the two of them got into an argument.
He looked solemnly in the direction of Yingtian, and suddenly showed a meaningful smile.
Oh, literati!
My lord, it's done!
