Although Shi Chun was caught off guard by Fang Yingwu and acted a little sluggishly, he was not really stupid, it was just bad timing. How could he not understand the problem after hearing this "confession"?
It should be said that when people in the lobby heard these so-called "crimes", they basically realized that there was something inappropriate. To put it bluntly, there is a big problem here!
The charges against Fang Yingwu are completely fabricated and impossible. No one believes that Fang Yingwu embezzled 100,000 taels of public money, and no one believes that Fang Yingwu actually robbed more than ten people.
Even Fang Yingwu's enemies wouldn't believe it if a folk girl hoarded it.
What is the difference between such a so-called confession and accusing a eunuch of raping a woman? Are eunuchs that capable?
However, he said that Master Shi Chun, a fellow commander, had extraordinary foot strength. The handyman who came to report was kicked out of the hall by him. He rolled a few times and then rolled down the steps. His scalp was scratched in two places and he looked miserable.
It's very pitiful.
Corporal Fang Yingwu paid homage to Xian, and went out to help the handyman up. After patting the soil, he said softly and comfortingly: "I don't want to implicate you because of my official affairs. I wonder what the following items are?"
The handyman was so moved that he wanted to cry, but then stopped talking. He felt that Mr. Fang was such a good person, and it would be difficult to explain Mr. Fang's charges in public. Moreover, he had just been angered by his boss, and he might be beaten again if he continued to announce the charges.
Fang Yingwu advised again: "It was Wu Qianhu who asked you to report. This is your duty. Why should you look forward and backward?"
The servant then spoke again tremblingly: "Third, he brutally abused the people, protected his cronies, committed evil acts and violated the law, and the resentment in the county was boiling..."
The audience in the hall complained one after another, this is really not the most nonsense, only more nonsense! Who in the capital knows Fang Qingtian's name, how thick-skinned is it to attract "the resentment in the county is boiling"?
The handyman was still talking, as if this was a huge burden, and he would be relieved if he finished speaking earlier: "Fourth. Trafficking with eunuchs, colluding with the East and West Factory, attaching to the royal relatives, flattering Ciren Temple..."
At the beginning, everyone was a little interested in listening, but there is really nothing worth listening to at this point, except for nonsense! A rising star like Fang Yingwu is destined to have a bright future. The future path is very clear, as for currying favor with the eunuch and the emperor's relatives
Flow?
In Shi Chun's eyes, Fang Yingwu allowed the handyman to continue talking at the foot of the stairs, just like teasing a kitten or puppy, but it was tantamount to demonstrating and provoking himself, and was full of deep malice.
Master Shi couldn't care less about competing with Fang Yingwu at this moment. He didn't bother to vent his anger on the servant anymore. He stood on the platform in front of the hall and frowned, thinking hard, his mind quickly spinning, thinking about what he should do.
Anyone with a little judgment knows that the consequences will be disastrous. Zhang Gui kept saying that he wanted to confess only after being interrogated by Shi Chun, so the confession showed Shi Chun's interrogation record.
If this confession is made public, he, Shi Chun, will probably be quarantined collectively. Who wants to be close to a fool who is short of brains? Who wants to have such a pig teammate?
In fact, frame-up is not worth making a fuss about. But even if it is frame-up, some technical content must be paid attention to. Half-truth and half-falsehood are the way to go, and it is absolutely undesirable to turn things upside down.
What's the point of making such a completely untenable confession? Apart from being viewed as a joke, what purpose can such a confession serve?
A confession that no one believes, unless the balance of power is overwhelmingly unbalanced, can a story be told that a deer is a horse, otherwise it is no different from a piece of paper. Master Shi obviously does not have an overwhelming balance of power when facing Fang Yingwu.
When something like this happens, it's not only an attitude problem, but also an IQ problem. No one likes people who have neither attitude nor IQ.
And Mr. Shi understands very well that being laughed at is not the most serious consequence. It is just being the protagonist of a joke. But if a joke that everyone knows can be entered into the process seriously, especially official procedures, that is the most terrifying thing.
!
It may be difficult for other yamen to report it beyond the level. As a deputy to the court official with a strong backing, I can use some tricks to suppress such confessions.
But in the special yamen of Jinyiwei, the situation is different. Jinyiwei has a special system. Although the sitting commander is the official in charge of everything in the guard, the North and South Town Fusi have a certain degree of independence.
According to the rules, both the North and South Zhenfu Divisions have the right to present memorials independently without command. Wu Shou, who is in charge of the punishment of Qianhu in the Zhenfu Division, is also a close confidant of Wang Zhi, the eunuch of the East Factory. If you want to do something with him
If Chun is not able to survive, he can write a confession like this joke, and the commander will not be able to stop it.
Mr. Shi could imagine that when such a stupid confession was circulated in the court, he would inevitably be violently criticized. After all, this behavior was stupid, but it was too bad. It was hard to say whether he could withstand it.
Even if Eunuch Liang Fang and Liang Liang, who wanted to stumble Fang Yingwu secretly, would not be half happy when they saw this thing, they would only feel that they were stupid and incompetent, and that their IQ was still lacking.
Finally, if this strange memorial attracted the emperor's special attention, what unintended consequences would it cause?
One thing is certain. It is not Fang Yingwu who is unlucky anyway, but the person who made the joke is most likely to be unlucky. If he is publicly identified as framed and slandered by the minister, the commander and his colleagues will have reached the end.
Without further ado, I would like to ask Wu Shou and Wu Qianhu if they had any motive for doing this? Shi Chun came up with an answer without thinking - yes, and very much so. Who said that he and Wu Shou could not deal with each other?
Thinking of this, Mr. Shi couldn't help but secretly cursed, Wu Shou really has sinister thoughts! This person actually seized such an opportunity and pinched his own handle!
It's a pity that Mr. Shi has not found the real mastermind until now. He can only say that the acting between Fang Yingwu and Wu Shou was too good.
Fang Yingwu seemed to have been dragged into the situation by his own staff, and finally exposed Zhang Gui's matter by mistake; Wu Shou seemed to have the motive to cause trouble for Shi Chun and had nothing to do with Fang Yingwu.
, in the end, Fang Yingwu benefited indirectly from the rectification of Shi Chun.
No one who witnessed this scene thought that Fang Yingwu and Wu Shou, two seemingly incompatible people, were colluding secretly - in fact, this was the effect Fang Yingwu wanted to achieve.
The servants at the bottom of the steps had finished reporting, and Fang Yingwu also returned to the steps, stood next to Shi Chun, and sighed: "I didn't expect that the officer who was examined by the Jinyi Guards was so guilty. I don't know what other battles are waiting below.
I have to worry about myself, and now I may just have to tie my hands."
How is this possible? Shi Chun complained in his heart.
To arrest a minister, you need to get a warrant from the palace. Even though Shi Chun was an arrogant and powerful commander of the Imperial Guard, how could he have the ability to directly arrest a prime minister's son-in-law and a famous minister without going through the palace's warrant?
However, after thinking about it for a while, Mr. Shi was not completely out of ideas.
