Chapter 192: Father's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety
But Fang Yingwu, Ningshi Guning Yanei and Mr. Zhang Chang were taken to the Yamen Office of the Chief Envoy Si Fanku and then saw that Ambassador Li, the Chief Envoy Si Fanku, was also mentioned, and they became brothers in trouble. It was just my mood.
Ning Yanei, who was the worst, became much quieter after venting his anger just now.
It was already late afternoon, and the four of them were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and their intestines were ravenous, but the inspector seemed to have no intention of taking care of the food.
Waiting until dusk, Master Zhu Shenzhu, the Inspector General, still did not come to the court, so Fang Yingwu and others had no choice but to continue waiting. Then they watched the golden crow fall in the west, and the sky gradually became dark.
Fang Yingwu woke up first at this time, and couldn't help but secretly curse a few words, this was similar to the legendary killing stick.
Use this method to kill people first, and when they are exhausted, it will be much easier to investigate the case. After all, they are not easy to manipulate, and Mr. Zhu can show his power by moving his heart.
Excusable.
After a few drum beats, an order was heard from the back hall, and torches were lit in the hall. It seemed that Mr. Zhu was actually going to hold a night trial.
In fact, it can't be called a trial. Strictly speaking, it's just that the prosecutor, Mr. Zhu, wants to inquire about the relevant circumstances. As the informant, Fang Yingwu should be the first to be questioned.
The great scholar Fang had already prepared a draft of this. As soon as Mr. Zhu finished speaking in Mandarin, he cleared his throat with a cough, stepped forward and saluted, "I'll be honest with you, I'll tell you in detail later."
But after hearing Fang Yingwu's words, everyone began to recall the bitterness and sweetness, "When I was studying in Chun'an in my later years, I was fortunate enough to be taught by Shang Xianggong, and barely managed to get into the gate. During this period, I read the books of the sages and learned the principles of the sages, and benefited from them.
A lot.
Mr. Shang has a high standard of public morality and is admired by the whole country. Although Wan Sheng is an ineffective student, there are many things in the world that he does not understand. But Wan Sheng also knows that if you imitate your teacher in your conduct, you will probably not go wrong."
Fang Yingwu rambled on about the teacher-student relationship, which shocked everyone, especially Ning Shigu. Unlike others, Ning Yameni had seen Fang Yingwu's words and deeds several times, and he was always surprised every time.
no the same.
A few days ago, in the Chief Envoy's office, Fang Yingwu was furious, but at the same time he was acting on personal grounds. He seemed to be very defensive, and his temper was also because of one of his own. In the end, his father was stunned.
I was stunned and took the initiative to confess everything.
This time in the post posted by Zhang Gu, Fang Yingwu's tone changed again (although it was not signed, anyone with a bit of intelligence would know that it was written by Fang Yingwu), including when he took the initiative to come to the door today. Fang Yingwu changed his tone.
He must be a person who is full of righteousness, awe-inspiring, and as proud as Qingshuang.
But just now, Fang Yingwu changed his tone again. He kept talking about Xianggong Shang and mentioned teacher once in every sentence. This is indescribably weird. Could it be that he wanted to use Xianggong Shang's name to support himself?
Ning Yanei was a bit weak in terms of people's hearts. But Mr. Zhu, the inspector general, and Mr. Zhang, the teacher of the Lu family, both heard the implication.
This is not because Fang Yingwu is shallow and deliberately uses the name of teacher to suppress others. The core meaning he wants to express is only one thing, and that is "Shang Xianggong's students reported Shang Xianggong's old friend of the same year."
Everyone knows that Mr. Ning has committed a serious crime of embezzlement, and Mr. Shang's reputation may be implicated. Who makes Mr. Ning the same year that Mr. Shang supported him in the past?
But Fang Yingwu stepped forward and insisted on justice as a student of Shang Xianggong, and wanted to bring down Mr. Ning, which would offset the negative impact on Shang Xianggong's reputation.
The reason is very simple. The negative side is the old relationship between Shang Xiangong, and the positive side is the student of Shang Xianggong. The positive and negative offset each other, so they cancel each other out.
This is a courtroom right now, and there is a scribe next to it. Everything you say must be recorded. If you don’t say it now, when will you wait? So Fang Yingwu wants to talk about his teacher-student relationship with Shang Xianggong, and put this relationship into perspective.
Infiltrate the case and counteract the influence of Mr. Ning, a pig teammate.
Zhu Shen suddenly slapped the case, interrupted Fang Yingwu's chatter, and shouted sternly: "Don't talk about irrelevant things! Just talk about your report, don't talk about other nonsense!"
Master Zhu's attitude was very rude, and Fang Yingwu didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, he had just said a lot, and he could basically achieve his goal.
But he inadvertently discovered that the writer next to him who was responsible for recording had not moved his pen just now, and had not written a single word on the paper in front of him. Why didn't the writer record his speech? A trace of doubt flashed in Fang Yingwu's mind.
With this lingering doubt, Fang Yingwu briefly explained the process of learning the inside story and reporting the case. The more detailed details have been written down in black and white, so there is no need to go into detail.
Mr. Zhu didn't say anything, and turned to ask Ambassador Li from the Chief Envoy Si Fanku. According to Fang Yingwu's report, this person was one of the important accomplices of Ning Liang's corruption. Think about it and you will understand that if there is no Ambassador Yinku here,
With the help of an intermediary, how could Ning Liang easily embezzle the Xuxian silver that had been put into the treasury?
Ambassador Li replied: "It is common for superiors to withdraw money, but what they do after withdrawing it, the subordinates have no idea." This answer is hard to fault, but it is almost the same as no answer. It is really the art of language.
Fang Yingwu, who was standing aside, was also a little impressed.
Zhu Shen asked: "Are you not aware of it at all? Then you, the ambassador, are too confused!"
"If the boss wants to use public funds, how can the lower officials stop it? Nor can the lower officials know about it casually. This is the lower official's duty." Ambassador Li replied in a flawless manner.
This man was really a man who had grown up in the Yamen. Zhu Shen shook his head secretly. Seeing that he could not get anything out of Ambassador Li, he turned his attention to Ning Yameni and asked: "According to what others have said, you often come forward to talk to Ning Yamen."
Dealing with all parties, and then acting as the direct handler of stolen money. What's your excuse?"
Ning Yanei kept silent, lowered his head and stared blankly at the ground, as if he didn't hear Mr. Zhu's question. At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and some accident happened, and everyone in the hall couldn't help but look up.
The figure gradually appeared under the torch at the door. An old man walked into the lobby with the support of two domestic slaves.
Everyone could see clearly that this was Ning Liang, the governor-general of Zuo, who could he be? They couldn't help but be shocked, how could he be here?
You know, this kind of case is tried from the smallest level up. If it can be tried to the end, it will be considered successful. If it is broken halfway through the trial, it will be broken.
Therefore, when it comes to the people who come to the yamen of the Prosecutor's Office for questioning, these are the relatively """ ones in front of me. Mr. Ning Liang is a second-grade official. It is impossible for him to go to the lobby of the Prosecutor's Office. Even if he is interrogated, he must be sent to the capital.
I went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. But he just showed up at this moment. Is it not surprising?
Zhu Shen was inconvenient to greet him, so he only sat on the public seat and cupped his hands as a greeting. Ning Liang stood in the center, looked at several people slowly, nodded tremblingly, and then said to Zhu Shen: "
All the sins are my fault alone, and I hereby plead guilty to Zhu Lianfang. The law of the country is supreme, and I will shoulder the full responsibility."
Everyone was even more shocked. Did he plead guilty now? If he is really convicted, it will set a record for a major case in the country. The report was only made yesterday, and the case will be concluded today. The speed of one day is unprecedented and will never be followed.
Ning Yanei suddenly raised his head and shouted, attracting everyone's attention. "No! This is all because I am greedy and can't stand poverty, so I embezzled public funds behind my father's back!"
But my father repeatedly failed to discipline me and was not ruthless enough to deal with me. At most, he just temporarily protected me in confusion!"
The father and son rushed to plead guilty, trying to take all the blame on themselves, making others confused. Who is the main culprit in the corruption?
But this scene was quite sad, and Mr. Zhu couldn't help but sigh a few times, sighing: "A father's kindness and his son's filial piety are a beautiful thing, but with the current national law, there is nothing we can do."
The situation was very wrong. Fang Yingwu frowned. Something was wrong with Ning Liang, and something was wrong with Lord Zhu. The situation was not what he expected!
ps: To explain the situation, I have a 5,000-word mass line activity report to write in the past two days, which is really annoying. But starting from tomorrow for three days, I can enter a more regular rhythm, and I will make up for it and apologize.
