Chapter 1555: A plan

Han Zhen was also a prime minister, and he was very thoughtful. He didn't think of anything else for a while. He only wondered whether the concubines in the inner courtyard were having an affair with him. He looked coldly and said, "That makes sense. I won't do an autopsy today."

Decision, I’m afraid it will be difficult to impose punishment...Uncle Zhong."

A lame old man came out from the hall pillar: "Sanlang, I am at ease."

Han Zhen said: "Uncle Lao Zhong, go and check Huang Guan's home to see if anything is missing. Also, go and search the old soldier's home to see if there is anything that shouldn't be there.

thing."

The old man bowed and said, "Yes."

Huang Shicheng's expression suddenly changed: "Ms. sir..."

Han Zhen's eyes were as cold as lightning: "What? Do you suspect that Uncle Zhong will be unfair?"

Huang Shicheng was immediately speechless and did not dare to speak.

Han Zhong was speechless and left the hall. Han Zhen explained to Bi Zhongyou: "Uncle Zhong is an old guest of my late father. We met when we were in Yongcheng County. He assisted his father in handling criminal matters and made great achievements."

"Later, while protecting my father in Yangzhou, he was injured by the powerful Li Jia's followers. The family did not dare to treat him as a regular guest. Before his death, my father specifically asked him to provide for his loyal uncle until he died."

Han Zhen's father was Han Yi, the famous Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. Han Yi started his career as an official in Dali and was best at deciding lawsuits.

The case of Yangzhou Li Jia was a major case when Han Yi was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou. The state tycoon Li Jia, after his brother died, forced his sister-in-law to marry another man. He falsely claimed that his brother was his surname, bribed the chief official of Yangzhou, and robbed his brother.

He died in prison and his sister-in-law lived unjustly for ten years.

When Han Yi took office, he wanted to establish his authority. He uncovered old cases, discovered suspicious points, and tracked down the breast doctor who delivered Li's baby and was later coerced into giving a false testimony.

After searching for circumstantial evidence, the case was completely turned over. More than ten years of injustice between the Li family and her son were finally settled, and Li Jia and a group of accomplice officials were severely punished.

Han Yi became famous all over the world because of this incident, but now it seems that the danger he encountered back then was a matter of life and death.

Bi Zhongyou didn't care about Han Zhen's misconduct in ordering his disciples to investigate privately. He just raised his hands and said: "I really admire him, but it turns out that he is also a senior in charge of punishment. When he visited the house in the past, he failed to ask for advice."

Han Zhen ignored Huang Shicheng, who was frozen below and looked pale, and said to Bi Zhongyou: "Zhongshu was born as a minor official and has no knowledge of literature. However, his father ordered him to supervise the studies of the children in the family. We brothers can't hide any tricks from him.

go……"

After saying this, I couldn't help but shudder, which shows how profound the shadow and trauma of my youth are.

Speaking of which, Han Zhen is almost seventy years old, and there is an older man that scares him. Bi Zhongyou couldn't help but feel funny: "The words 'you are drunk when you are happy, don't lose your youth'. In Uncle Zhong's eyes,

, it’s probably the criminal’s confession?”

Han Zhen couldn't help but burst out laughing, and he immediately relaxed his knot in his heart. He happily patted Bi Zhongyou on the shoulder: "Uncle, I will treat you as a wonderful friend who has forgotten my age, and he can be said to be a good guide."

What Bi Zhong was talking about was an allusion about Han Zhen.

In the early years of Yuanfeng, Han Zhen went to Khitan as an envoy. Before leaving, he drank with his concubine Liu all night long.

Liu's "Butterfly Loves Flowers" says: "The fragrant scenery is thick with dew. I am sleeping in both places, but I am sent away to fly away. I secretly complain to Dong Jun whether he should allow it, and the tears fall down."

Han Zhen wrote a poem about Fragrant Grass and left it to Liu: "Locked away from sorrow, endless, the first smoke on the road when I came. The embroiderer thought far away, the dewdrops were hanging in the dark, weeping to send off the battle. The long line is in the eyes, and it is more heavy.

, there are solitary clouds on the far water. But if you look at the extremely high tower, you can see all the sun and the kings and grandsons.

**. After bidding farewell to the pond, I was walking in a green and light skirt. Holding hands for a long time, among the scattered flowers and catkins, I walked slowly in the fragrant grass. The red face changed itself, and every year, the fragrance grew new. All over the green fields,

If you like to swim and get drunk, don't lose your youth."

Shenzong secretly knew about this, and the next day he was suddenly approved by the Infantry Division and sent troops to move Han Zhen and pursue him.

Han Zhen didn't know the reason at the time, but later he found out that the poems written by himself and his wife and concubines were known to Shenzong. Because Liu's poems contained the line "secret complaint to Dongjun, should he not allow it?" Shenzong specially arranged for Liu and Han Zhen to go together.

Liu Zong and Han Zhen were in-laws, and they wrote a poem about it: "The prostitute Yao no longer cares about the family, who can say that he will not return for a long time? Curl ears are lucky to have a graceful appearance, how can the emperor be so glorious?"

The name of Han Zhen's poems also spread throughout the world through this incident.

This was Han Zhen's greatest pride in his life, but when Bi Zhongyou mentioned the past, he was discouraging him tactfully.

This incident at that time was enough to show that the emperor monitored his ministers closely. The lyrics written by the ministers in the boudoir that night would appear on the emperor's desk the next morning.

However, Han Zhen himself was the biggest beneficiary of this mechanism. He used to think that the emperor's favor was profound and glorious, but now he felt that he was being supervised unfairly. This meant that things had not changed, but there was something wrong with his mentality.

There is no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum, since all people have become refined. Han Zhen naturally understood the true meaning of Bi Zhongyou's admonition, and couldn't help but be very grateful for his reminder.

Not long after, Uncle Zhong came back: "There are not many in the old soldier's room, and there is no shortage in the steward's room."

Huang Shicheng breathed a sigh of relief, but then heard Uncle Zhong say again: "But there are some extra things on the beam of Xin Guan'er, the housekeeper."

Huang Shicheng was immediately distraught and collapsed in the hall.

Uncle Zhong did not look at the muddy Huang Shicheng, but stared directly at Bi Zhongyou: "The punishment is well arranged, is this going to kill my Han family?"

Bi Zhongyou said calmly: "That thing is very important. I didn't know that there was a person like Uncle Zhong in the Han family, and I didn't want to conflict with the prime minister's family, so I had to make arrangements."

"But my plan is just to get a few things from Uncle Zhong."

"The matter has not yet been resolved, and whether Zhong You has the intention to harm the Han family, Uncle Zhong must have already made up his mind."

Uncle Zhong then placed a few books on the table: "I can't understand what these are."

Bi Zhongyou opened it and looked through it: "That's it. Huang Tulu, the envoy of Changpingcang in Taiyuan Prefecture, Hua Zhongyou, the general judge of Qizhou, and Shi Wentao, the magistrate of Yangwuzhai, colluded with internal and external forces, embezzled the treasury, and smuggled the Liao Kingdom's transactions.

Accounts!”

Han Zhen was shocked: "Uncle, you can't be joking!"

Bi Zhongyou chuckled: "Then Zhongyou will explain the activities. Uncle Zhong and Han Gong can judge for themselves whether what he said is true or false."

After that, I opened the account book and began to read it from the first page.

Bi Zhongyou has long been familiar with the flow of assets in several places, including the capital transactions in some white-glove laboratories. Every accounting entry, in Bi Zhongyou's mouth, is the complete story of a corruption case.

Before he finished reading the account book, Han Zhen already knew that what Bi Zhongyou said was the truth. He was furious, his hair and beard were spread out, he raised the wine bottle and threw it at Huang Shicheng: "Your uncle and nephew are trying to overthrow my clan!"

Bi Zhongyou stopped Han Zhen: "This was only done by Huang Tulu. His role was to steal the treasury and protect the smuggling channels; but what Hua Shi and the two did were even more sinful!"

After saying that, he handed over his hand to Han Zhen and said: "Xiang Gong An was promoted to an official position and lived in seclusion. Although the three of them are old friends in the house, they have been separated for a long time and have no kindness."

"When Huang Shicheng was in the house, he was kind and fair, but unexpectedly he was trapped by a villain."

"The villain wants to fake the power of the tiger and make the court throw a rat into a trap. His heart is cunning and profound, and it is beyond the ability of a gentleman to guard against."

"Since Uncle Zhong is an old criminal, Zhong You is asking me to lend him a helping hand in the house."

Although this was said euphemistically, the meaning was very clear, which was to let Han Zhen actively participate in it, become a meritorious person, and escape.

By the way, I also wanted Uncle Zhong to supervise me.

After stroking his beard and thinking carefully for a while, Han Zhen finally said: "Uncle Zhong is the ancestor of the criminal name on Hedong Road, so I will lend it to my uncle. This case must be completed and Shi Wentao must not escape. Do you understand?"

The meaning of "iron case" is not to make the three people's guilt absolutely certain, but to make the Han family's circumstances that have nothing to do with the case absolutely certain.

Of course Bi Zhongyou understood, he cupped his hands and said: "My loyal uncle is here to help me, so I can rest assured."

Han Zhen gritted his teeth, turned around and entered the inner room and took out another seal: "This is the seal of the Fengning Army. If there is an emergency, the uncle will take care of it. I will close the door and take care of myself. The lives of the whole family will be saved."

This time I will leave it to my uncle."

Bi Zhongyou couldn't help but admire Han Zhen's decisiveness, and he was not polite. He took the seal and handed it to Uncle Zhong, and gave Han Zhen a long salute: "Don't worry, sir, Zhong You will definitely enforce the law and only take state affairs as the priority.

I will never be implicated in anything."
