Chapter 40 Can’t bear it?

"Princess, it seems that if you want to save the prince and the whole family, there is no other way." After saying that, Wang Chengen stood up, then lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground, saying: "Princess, you

Let Lao Nu and Sun Zhong go."

"Yes, Princess. Please allow me and Eunuch Wang to go..." Sun Zhong also quickly knelt down on the ground.

"You...sigh..." Zhou Yufeng sighed, and she also knelt down on the ground. Not only that, she also kowtowed, "The prince's life is entrusted to you..."

"Princess...this...how can we bear it..." Wang Chengen quickly took two steps on his knees and went to help him, but Zhou Yufeng did not get up, and still knelt on the ground, saying with emotion: "This is called a friend in need, a friend indeed...

On behalf of the prince, I would like to thank you both..."

"What are you talking about? This is what we should do..."

"Sir, there is a man outside the yamen who calls himself Wang Chengen, and a man named Sun Zhong, who have come to surrender."

At the Penal Department Yamen, Yue Su was sitting in the duty room when someone suddenly came to report.

"Oh?" Yue Su had a smile on his face and thought to himself, "I didn't expect them to actually move."

Then, Yue Su said loudly: "Shengtang!"

"Yes, sir." The officer agreed, went out immediately, and shouted the order, "Master Yue has an order, please go to court immediately."

Yue Su stood up and walked slowly outside. Tie Qiu, who was sitting next to him, also quickly got up and followed behind. However, Tie Qiu was confused and asked in a low voice while following: "Sir, didn't that Wang Chengen say that

Are you already on the run and wanted? Why did you suddenly surrender?"

"This is called abandoning the car to protect the commander. If my guess is correct, these two people are here to take the blame for Zhu Youjian." Yue Su said calmly.

"Take the blame? Is this a crime that they just say they can take? My lord, I don't think there is any need to be polite to them. I'll definitely make them tell the truth after giving it a slap!" Tie Qiu said in a loud voice.

"Let's wait and see about this..." After Yue Su finished speaking, he just showed a smile on his face. Without saying anything else, he left the check-in room and walked directly towards the main hall.

Tie Qiu didn't understand what Yue Su meant, but since the Lord didn't tell him, it was inconvenient for him to ask. Moreover, he also understood that the Lord's ideas were naturally much higher than his own, so he followed suit.

The two of them soon arrived at the lobby. The Yamen servants had already stood on both sides of the hall. When they saw Yue Su coming out of the Nuan Pavilion, they both bowed and saluted, "See you, Your Excellency."

"No need." Yue Su waved his hands to them.

"Thank you, sir."

Usually when the Ministry of Punishment hears cases, it is rarely said that it is a chief official who comes to trial. The ministers below are always present in the court, which can be regarded as supervision. Moreover, when the case is being tried, the ministers and other officials raise objections, even if the minister nods,

Even though he is a deputy, the chief officer will be restrained in many cases. You can't do anything to him. However, it is different when Mr. Yue is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. The officials below trembled when they saw Mr. Yue. Mr. Yue

During the trial, almost no one dared to say a word. Originally, the Minister of Punishment was promoted by Mr. Yue, so what more could be said.

The two ministers were already waiting, and they raised their hands to see Yue Su. Yue Su also extended his hands to be polite, and waited until he sat down before the two ministers dared to sit down.

"Bang!" Yue Su picked up the gavel tree, knocked it hard, and said loudly: "Come here, bring someone to commit the crime!"

"Your Majesty has an order, bring someone to commit the crime!"...

The officers on both sides shouted, and within a moment, officers brought Wang Chengen and Sun Zhong to the lobby. Immediately afterwards, the sounds of "Might... Wu..." could be heard from both sides.

After the voice settled down, a policeman shouted: "Don't kneel down when you see your Excellency!"

After hearing this, Wang Chengen was calm and composed, and had no intention of kneeling down at all. When Sun Zhong saw that he was not kneeling, he did not kneel down. Yue Su did not get angry either. He smiled calmly and said, "No need to kneel down. This is a great gift from the prince.

How can I bear it?"

Seeing Yue Su speak, the servants below stopped making noises. Yue Su looked at Wang Chengen and Sun Zhong. Wang Chengen had already taken off his fake beard. It could be seen that he was indeed a eunuch. Yue Su said calmly: "You are the one.

Eunuch Wang?"

"That's right. Wang Cheng'en met Lord Yue..." Wang Cheng'en cupped his hands and gave a deep salute to Yue Su.

Yue Su nodded slightly and said: "Listen to the people below, the prince is here today to surrender. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it."

"Yes, sir." Wang Chengen bowed and said: "Our family is here today, and we are indeed here to surrender. At this moment, I will tell you the truth about Zhu Youjian's case. When Zhu Youjian was still a believer in the king,

We once sent our family to submit a memorial to impeach Zhu Yousong for leaving the fiefdom without authorization and intending to rebel. However, after our family arrived in the capital, we did not submit the memorial, but waited to see what happened and inquired about the news. We learned that Zhu Yousong had gone to Liaodong to meet him.

Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan did not capture Zhu Yousong immediately, so we guessed that Yuan Chonghuan was not completely loyal to the court. Even if he did not rebel immediately, it was because he was afraid of Lord Yue. So, I secretly sent Sun Zhong to the Japanese country to bribe Date Masamune, please

He sent troops to plunder Rzhao Port, making the matter as big as possible, and then lured Mr. Yue to go to Rzhao. As soon as Mr. Yue left the capital, Yuan Chonghuan would definitely have the courage to rebel. Unexpectedly, he missed a move and was seen through by Mr. Yue.

organ."

After Wang Chengen finished speaking, Yue Su chuckled and said: "Wang Chengen, listening to your words, it seems that you are the master of all this, but I don't know, what was Zhu Youjian doing at that time?

What are you doing this for?"

"Zhu Youjian didn't know about it. Our family just did this in the hope that after the rebellion is successful, we can get greater rights. Which eunuch doesn't want to become the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the supervising eunuch of the East Factory, but I followed Zhu

Youjian will never achieve his wish in this life, so seeing this opportunity, he took the risk. I am the one responsible for this matter, and Zhu Youjian is responsible for it. Whatever you want to do, our family will bear it.

"Wang Chengen said with great righteousness.

"Haha..." Yue Su couldn't help laughing again and said: "Wang Chengen, you have already absconded. Even if you are responsible for this case, it is not easy for the court to catch you. Why do you want to do it again today?

How about taking the initiative to surrender to the police?"

"For no other reason, just because Zhu Youjianping treated me well, and I can't bear to implicate him now that he is in jail, so I came to surrender myself. For no other reason, I just hope that I can be responsible for one person's work, please

Your Excellency, please let the innocent person go." Wang Cheng'en said righteously.

"So that's it." Yue Su nodded lightly, then looked at Sun Zhong and said, "Your name is Sun Zhong?"

"Yes, sir." Sun Zhong said, clasping his fists.

"Who ordered you to go to Japan to bribe Date Masamune?" Yue Su asked calmly.

"It was assigned by the prince." Sun Zhong replied firmly.

"How much money did you spend to bribe Date Masamune?" Yue Su asked again.

"Two hundred thousand yuan!" Sun Zhong replied bluntly.

"Two hundred thousand, where did you get so much money?" Yue Su asked again.

"To be honest, since the beginning of the sea, I have been doing some maritime trade under the orders of our king...Zhu Youjian. Last time I returned to the sea, I brought back a lot of money, but I didn't wait to hand it over to Zhu Youjian.

From the inspection, I got an order from the prince. He told me to go to the Japanese country, bribe Date Masamune, and ask him to send troops to plunder Rizhao." Sun Zhong said.

"Since Zhu Youjian asked you to take charge of overseas trade, he obviously trusts you a lot. Why did you act without authorization without his order?" Yue Su asked with a smile.

"Because the king... because Zhu Youjian has always trusted Wang Cheng'en, and usually Wang Eunuch's words represent Zhu Youjian. Therefore, the villain did not think at that time that Wang Eunuch was falsely passing on Zhu Youjian's orders." Sun Zhong said.

"So that's it." Yue Su nodded slightly and said, "Let the two of them sign it."

"Yes, sir."

The clerk on the side took the recorded confession and walked up to Wang Chengen and Sun Zhong, asking them to sign and sign it, and then presented it to Yue Su for review. After Yue Su read it, he said loudly: "Here, please Zhu You."

Check in to the hall."

"Yes, sir." The officer agreed, went down immediately, and brought Zhu Youjian to the hall.

Soon, Zhu Youjian was escorted by two officers and came to the lobby. Even though Zhu Youjian was no longer a prince, he looked dignified and dignified. When he saw Yue Su, he just bowed his hands and bowed his waist.

No clue, "The common man Zhu Youjian has met the Lord."

There is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Zhu Youjian is nothing now, at least he is Zhu Youxiao's younger brother. Yue Su can't let him kneel down and kowtow. He smiled slightly and said: "Today

rPlease come to the hall, I have something to ask you."

"If you have something to say, sir, just ask, I'm sure you will know enough to tell me." Zhu Youjian said calmly.

"Please take a look at the two people next to you. Do you know them?" Yue Su said calmly.

When Zhu Youjian first entered the hall, he looked at the backs of the two people and recognized who they were. He was shocked at that time, but his face did not show it at all. At this moment, he glanced at the two people and said, "Sir, these two people are young."

The people know each other, one is Wang Banban from Xiaomin’s house, and the other is Sun Zhong from Xiaomin’s house.”

"The two of them came to surrender, saying that you ordered them, like Wang Cheng'en, to take the memorial to the capital, but did not submit it first, and wait and see what happens; you ordered Sun Zhong to go to the Japanese country to bribe Date Masamune, and ransack the photos. Is there any possibility...

…”

"Your Majesty, I didn't say that..."

Before Yue Su could finish speaking, Sun Zhong on the side yelled. At this point, Zhu Youjian immediately understood what Yue Su meant, that he was trying to induce a confession. Yue Su, on the other hand, glared and shouted angrily.

He yelled: "Bold Sun Zhong, I am reviewing the case, but you dare to talk too much and roar in the court. Come here, pull me down and beat you hard!"

"Yes, sir!"

The officer agreed, took Sun Zhong outside the hall, picked up a big stick, and beat him to death. Mr. Yue didn't say how much he would hit him, so the people below just hit him, one stick after another, without even counting.

I didn't know how many times I was beaten, but Sun Zhong was beaten to pieces. But Sun Zhong was indeed a man, and he didn't even say a word.

Zhu Youjian in the hall felt distressed when he heard the "crackling" sound of the boards, but he still had a serious look on his face. After a while, the officer went to the hall to report, "Sir, the prisoner has fainted.

Already."

"Put him on death row and keep him under strict supervision," Yue Su said.

"Yes, sir."

Seeing this scene, the officials in the hall and Tie Qiu were all confused. Mr. Yue always handled cases steadily and would never be taken advantage of. Why were you so careless today?

Yue Su remained calm and said, "Zhu Youjian, did you hear the question I just asked?"
