Even if you don’t even mention the capital, you don’t know how young the officials are. If the glazed tiles fall from any house under the emperor’s feet, they can hit an official. However, there are not so many third-grade officials that there are many pits, especially the position of the Minister of Justice.
.
The imprisonment of the He family brothers has become a hot topic in Beijing.
Of course, what is also being hotly discussed is the Li family, who just broke off their engagement with the He family a few days ago.
Previously, the separation of the Li and He families had saved each other enough face. Except for those who heard about the generous dowry of the He family girls, the upper class did not care at all.
Nowadays, everyone wants to wish the Li family good luck, especially the senior officials who know the inside story of the secret trial of the Third Division.
Li Hao himself was quite lucky. At this time, in the study room outside the palace of the Vice Minister, Li Hao bowed and thanked the person opposite him with a grateful tone: "Thanks to Brother Meng Yang for helping me!"
The man opposite him immediately stepped aside and held each other's hands, "Shi Qi is just being polite!" Then he smiled and said, "Shi Qi shouldn't thank me either."
Li Hao was helped upright, and after hearing the words, he bent down again, "Of course, of course, Eunuch Liu's great kindness will be unforgettable. Brother Meng Yang should also thank you. Thank you Brother Meng Yang for the introduction..."
Opposite him, the man stroking his beard and smiling was none other than Jiao Fang, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Jiao Fang helped Li Hao to his seat again, and said with a smile: "You and I are from the same hometown, and we have known each other for many years. To be so polite is really embarrassing."
Jiao Fang and Li Wei were both from Henan. They were both originally from Henan and served as the first assistant to Liu Jian. Moreover, Jiao Fang had always been close to northerners and disliked southerners. She also relied on local friendship as a party. She had known each other for many years with brothers Li Jun and Li Jun.
They are quite close, but this time I came to help the Li family to spread my wings for Liu Jin.
When the late emperor was there, the big shots in the court were very dissatisfied with the current emperor who was still in the East Palace. However, the late emperor only had this prince, and he was the direct descendant of the main palace. His position was unshakable, and he finally became the great treasure.
The important ministers could only try to change the little emperor, so that he would not indulge in fun, so that he could... govern the world according to the cabinet's wishes.
But the little emperor himself is not a person with a stable temperament, and the internal officials around him are not easy to get along with. When it comes to the division of power, no one wants to get an extra piece of the pie.
When it comes to the influence on the young emperor, who can surpass the internal officials who accompany the emperor every day.
Jiao Fang is the best at maneuvering, and now he is the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It seems that he is only one step away from being a minister. However, this step has to be taken over the heads of many people. In the capital where there are many talents and complex relationships, taking this step is extremely difficult.
Disaster!
However, the fight between civil servants and internal officials gave him an opportunity. On the surface, he still sided with Liu Jian and the civil servants, but secretly he had quietly contacted Liu Jin and became his disciple.
At this time, Liu Jin almost had the Supervisor of Ceremonies in his hands and needed to find allies in the court.
The one Liu Jin valued most was Wang Hua. Wang Hua was the disciple of Emperor Hongzhi and was naturally close to the late emperor and Jin Shang. The late emperor wanted Wang Hua to join the cabinet many times, but he was rejected by Liu Jian, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang.
Damn. When Liu Jin thought about it, Wang Hua must have hated the three of them to the core.
Liu Jin now wants to challenge the cabinet, and Wang Hua is undoubtedly the best candidate because he has enough qualifications to join the cabinet and has enemies with three people in the cabinet.
Moreover, Wang Hua's son Wang Shouren has both abilities and a holy heart. How could Liu Jin not hope to take him and his son into his own pocket?
Liu Jin came out of the inner school and had a close relationship with Wang Hua. I originally thought that if he sent someone to talk to him and promised to recommend him to the cabinet, he would definitely agree.
Although she didn't want Wang Hua, she refused without any pretense, which made Liu Jin quite angry.
At this time, Jiao Fang bumped into him. After all, he was also a minister, and he was in the official department, so he was very useful. Liu Jin felt more comfortable and hinted that Jiao Fang would help him recruit "talents".
Naturally, Jiao Fang first chose people from his fellow villagers. Brother Li Chu was of high official rank and capable, and his sons were all up to par, so they had long been in Jiao Fang's sight.
Jiao Fang originally hated southerners. He Dongsheng was both a southerner and a native of Li Dongyang. Li Kai could marry him, which made Jiao Fang very unhappy.
This time, Liu Jin happened to get the news from the palace. Jiao Fang sold a huge favor to Li Hao, subdued him, and ruined Li He's marriage. She was quite proud of it.
"How is Sanlang doing now? This time he was wronged." Jiao Fang asked with regret on her face. Li Yanqing was indeed a good young man, but it was a pity that the Jiao family did not have a girl of the right age.
Li Hao said: "I'm not too aggrieved. I just have to wait until the case is settled before I go out. There are still two years left for the left and right examination, so it doesn't matter."
When it came to his son, Li Hao spoke freely, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He was partial to his youngest son, but he was not completely indifferent to his eldest son. He had chosen thousands of choices to find a bride, but how could he have expected that he would encounter something like this.
I also had some regrets. When the three sons of the Shen family were involved in the Japanese invasion case, my brother Li Jun was invited to co-trial the case as a scholar. Afterwards, my brother wrote a letter saying that He Nansheng was evil and that the He family was not good. In the letter, he bluntly stated that they would not be able to get along with each other.
.
But Li Hao also had his own considerations. He chose the He family because the He family was the elder Li Ge's family.
Although Mr. Liu Ge is the chief minister, he is already in his seventies, and he still talks about becoming an official from time to time. If Mr. Liu Ge becomes an official, new people who join the cabinet will always have to promote their own people. People like them who have no foundation will be transferred.
The possibility is extremely high.
Although Li Hao did not think about changing the family immediately, it would be good to leave an extra escape route.
With his official position, Li Hao had no access to the actual facts of the Japanese Tong case. He only felt that in this case, the He family may have framed the Shen family. However, since the He family has a rich fortune, this Japanese Tong case should not be a problem, at worst.
It's just that He Dongsheng's younger brother was executed, and He Dongsheng's official reputation was somewhat damaged.
He thought about it, Mr. Li Ge had already lost one of his disciples, Zhao Xianzhong, in this case. He couldn't let He Dongsheng, a third-rank minister, be killed again. Even for the sake of face, Mr. Li Ge had to keep him alive.
Therefore, after the prisoners involved in the Tongwa case were escorted to the capital, Li Hao had no intention of breaking with the He family.
Until Jiao Fang came to him and revealed to him some news he knew from the palace, and also told him that He Dongsheng had defected to Qiu Ju, and that Liu Jin was incompatible with Qiu Ju.
Youdao is not afraid that good things will not happen, but that there will be no good people. If Liu Jin twists her mouth and blows the wind on the He family's case, the He family may have no chance of winning.
Years ago, Li Hao was somewhat on the sidelines, but after the year, news came again from the palace. Wang Shouren had returned with conclusive evidence.
Li Yan immediately went to break off the engagement. It was true that Li Yanqing occasionally felt cold in winter, but it was not that serious. When Mrs. He came, he was just putting on a show. The doctor brought by the He family had a thick wad of silver notes from the Li family in his sleeve.
How could it be revealed?
Fortunately, it was still in time. If the He family was caught by the Jin Yiwei, they would have to bear infamy if they tried to break off the engagement.
It's a pity that my son will have to stay at home for more than half a year. Let's wait until the He family matter calms down before going to the academy to avoid any quarrel. We also need to hire a wise teacher to avoid delaying his studies.
Li Hao was thinking about his son's affairs, and he heard Jiao Fang say: "...The spring thaw will begin soon. Eunuch Liu means that you, Shi Qi, will be responsible for the project in Xiyuan."
Li Hao came back to his senses and couldn't help but let out a soft "ah".
Because he is good at water conservancy, he is responsible for various dam repair projects every spring and autumn floods. He is capable of doing it well, but such a large project is not the responsibility of one person. It requires a concerted effort and sufficient money.
Nowadays, the national treasury is very poor, and many projects are waiting for money. How much money can be allocated to build dams?
And once the embankment breaks, it will be a big deal, and he will have to follow it. This is really not a good thing.
If we can take charge of repairing the Xiyuan this year, we can save the trouble of water conservancy. This Xiyuan is a project that the emperor values and it uses internal funds and has obedient and cheap victims to work on it. I don’t know how easy it is to save it.
How good it is to be in front of the emperor!
Li Hao was already very excited, "This... this... is really, thanks to Eunuch Liu, he thinks highly of..."
Seeing him like this, Jiao Fang was quite satisfied. She stroked her beautiful beard under her chin and said, "They are all doing things for the emperor. You also know that the emperor is very fond of Xiyuan. Eunuch Liu is also anxious about the emperor's needs and promotes talents.
You are talented enough to be responsible for this job, but you have to make this project beautiful and make the emperor happy."
Li Hao hurriedly expressed his determination, saying that he would build Xiyuan to the satisfaction of the emperor and Eunuch Liu.
Jiao Fang became more and more cheerful. She narrowed her eyes with a smile and said, seemingly unintentionally: "In this case, I should go to Nanjing and write a letter to Hengshi to make him happy too."
Hengshi is the name of Li Jun, Li Hao's brother. Li Hao understood the idea and hurriedly smiled and said: "It should, it should. Brother Meng Yang, don't worry..."
While he was talking, the housekeeper called Li Hao in an anxious voice that he tried his best to lower but could not hide.
Li Hao felt very rude and dissatisfied, but he couldn't let him do this, and he couldn't scold Jiao Fang in front of him, so he had to apologize in embarrassment, came out of the study, and stood in the corridor, with a dark face.
He scolded the butler who followed him.
The housekeeper made a sad face and said in a low voice: "The lady from the He family has come here in full imperial attire and begged to see the master and his wife... The wife really doesn't know what to do, please give me some advice."
Li Hao's face turned even darker, and he secretly cursed the old pious woman. His young Xuexian was no match for the mature and sophisticated old Mrs. He. It would be troublesome if he got entangled, but the Li family's previous gestures were...
In order to have a good reputation, by shutting out the He family now, the previous efforts would have been in vain.
And Jiao Fang is still here. If Mrs. He blocks the front door and refuses to leave, is she going to let Jiao Fang, a noble servant, go out by a side door?!
Li Hao endured his anger and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Let Madam stay in the back house and don't show her face. Invite Mrs. He to the flower hall in front and say that Madam has gone to the temple to pray for Sanlang's illness. I have guests here.
I’ll go see her later.”
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took the order.
Li Hao complained in his heart that Jin Yiwei did not surround He Mansion for a few more days, but let the troublesome old Qian woman out. He stood in the corridor and took a deep breath to calm down, then returned to the study, smiled apologetically to Jiao Fang, and said briefly
Mrs. He came to the door.
Jiao Fang twirled her beard and smiled: "Southern people are very cunning, so be careful what you say." After saying that, he stood up and left.
Li Hao apologized quickly and stood up to see him off. Knowing that he hated southerners, he didn't say much, and he agreed in his heart. When discussing marriage for his son in the future, it would be better to choose someone from the north.
*
Jiuruju, Shen Mansion, Renshoufang
The He family brothers were sent to prison, and the Shen family did not relax. Shen Rui's uncle and nephew still paid close attention to every move of the He family.
The Jin Yiwei surrounded the He Mansion for two days, and successively captured two groups of staff and male servants before withdrawing.
Ordinary people would be afraid that they would be in chaos, but the He family was not in chaos at all. There were no servants stealing or escaping. The control in the house became more and more severe, and the insiders buried by the Shen family could hardly send out any news.
I heard that Mrs. He was frightened and fell ill, but it was Mrs. He who supported the He family with all her strength, stayed calm in times of crisis, and managed the family with thunder and lightning, which impressed the Shen family's uncles and nephews.
Although the insiders can't deliver any news, the outsiders are still watching.
Soon, the news came back that Mrs. He went to the home of Li Hao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, in high-grade makeup.
Mrs. He was respectfully invited in, but after at least half an hour, she came out with a bad look on her face and boarded the car to go home.
The follower who came back with the news described Mrs. He's expression clearly before and after she came in.
"My wife is going to put on makeup. I'm afraid that the Li family won't help." In the study, Shen Quan said to Shen Rui with a smile.
Shen Rui sneered, "This Mrs. He is not easy to get along with. However, since the Li family can break off the engagement, they will definitely not get involved again. I wonder who Mrs. He will look for next."
Shen Quan laughed twice, frowned again, moved forward and said, "She won't...like she did in Songjiang, so she should come to Shen's house."
Shen Rui said coldly: "This is the second room of the Shen family. She has only enemies with the He family and no relatives. Why does she come here? She just came here shamelessly. The Shen family is not the Li family. Why should she care about it?"
Shen Quan immediately nodded, "Exactly!" He patted his chest and said, "If she is still so shameless and blocks the door wearing imperial uniform, I will go out and say what you said in front of everyone. Look, What kind of dignity does she have?"
"The Shen family believes in the law of the country and justice, and everything will be decided by the court!" Shen Quan repeated loudly, and said with some excitement, "Now, it depends on how the law of the country deals with this insidious villain like the He family who is full of evil!"
The third master, who had been silent at the side, nodded and praised: "Well said, the Shen family believes in the laws of the country and justice. Let her use all kinds of methods and just wait for the result."
Although Shen Rui nodded, he would not really wait for the result. Mrs. He was not an old woman who could wait and see. She was a person who knew how to create public opinion. He had to plan carefully to prevent her from spreading rumors against the Shen family.
When the case came to trial, the Shen family seemed to be staying at home, so Shen Rui sent Changshou to quietly go out to find Du Laoba, asking him to pay more attention to the situation on the street.
In the past few days, Mrs. He not only found He Dongsheng's former friends and colleagues in the same year, but also went to find Li Dongyang.
Where to meet Li Dongyang? At this time, he was afraid of getting suspicious.
Those who were approached by her had the same attitude as Li Hao. The case was being tried secretly and there was nothing they could do to help.
How could Mrs. He be willing to accept it? As expected, there were rumors that Master Sansi was deceived by the Shen family. Gradually, it turned out that there was something fishy in the Songjiang Tong Japanese case.
At this time, the court was quarreling over Wang Shouren's reward.
What Zhang Yong and Wang Shouren achieved was the first victory of the Zhengde Dynasty. Although they suppressed bandits, this bandit was linked to Japanese pirates and was an unusual banditry, which was known both inside and outside the court.
Moreover, the big bosses in the DPRK were well aware of the relationship with Ning Fan, and this was really a tribute to their hard work.
The reward of the internal official Zhang Yong is not related to the external ministers. As early as the tenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor issued an imperial edict to transfer the imperial eunuch Zhang Yong to the imperial eunuch and the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch.
Yingyouye.
However, several decrees were issued in succession, and Xu Zhi, the former eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, was transferred to the head of the Central Army to take charge of Fenwu Camp, and eunuch Wang Run, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, was transferred to the eunuch of the internal official eunuch to take charge of the seal. And Ma Yong, the eunuch of the chief eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, became the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch.
The supervising eunuch—that is, the second-in-command of the Royal Horse Supervisor, the eunuch Liu Jin, who is responsible for the rituals, is in charge of the 5,000th Battalion of the Second Division of the Shenji Camp.
This was the first time that the young emperor mobilized internal officials on a large scale after he ascended the throne, and completely changed the Royal Horse Prison. It seemed that he was not tactful at all, and bluntly expressed his intention to replace Hongzhi with the old man.
In terms of personnel arrangements, Liu Jin, Zhang Yong, and Ma Yongcheng were tactfully arranged to form a clever check and balance.
Internal officials restrain each other to prevent one family from becoming a dominant force. This is what the foreign ministers like to see. No one wants to happen like the old eunuch Wang Zhen of the Yingzong Dynasty. However, the foreign ministers also have to sigh. The little emperor is using his imperial tricks more and more skillfully.
Pure.
And in Wang Shouren's reward, the foreign ministers saw the young emperor's profound skills in Tai Chi, cheating, and being unreasonable.
Although everyone in the government admitted that this bandit suppression was extraordinary, so what, the rules set by the Ministry of War as early as the early years of the country were: "The first achievement is divided into four categories: the north is the largest, the eastern Liao is the second, the western invasion, and the Miaoman are the second.
Then came the rebels from the mainland."
No matter how extraordinary it is, no matter how important it is to feudal turmoil, this time, it is and can only be a rebellion from the mainland.
The cabinet unanimously believed that Wang Shouren was originally a fifth-rank official, and that he was worthy of being promoted from a first-rank to a fourth-rank official. He should only be rewarded with some money and silk, and the evaluation should be recorded for excellence.
However, the young emperor said that this suppression of bandits showed that Wang Qing was capable of literary and military skills and was good at making decisions, so he should be promoted to the rank of general envoy, Si Youtong, a fourth rank.
At the same time, he also said that when his father was still alive, he repeatedly praised Wang Hua, the Minister of Rites, for being a cabinet minister. Now he can be promoted to Dongge University Bachelor and the title of Minister of Rites, and join the cabinet to assist the government.
There was an uproar in the court for a while, because the three cabinet elders did not want anyone to enter the cabinet again, and all the officials under them spoke out against it, and the news flew to the little emperor's desk like snowflakes.
Liu Jin, on the other hand, hated Wang Hua for not knowing how to praise him, so he did something wrong when submitting the document.
The little emperor became upset after looking at the memorials in front of him that impeached the Wang family and his son. He kicked over the hill-like pile of memorials and stopped looking at them. Naturally, he could not see the memorials that Liu Jin had hidden among the many bullets that praised Wang Hua.
There was a tug-of-war between the DPRK and the Central Government. The young emperor refused to relent, and all the memorials about Wang Hua, good or bad, were left unpublished. The cabinet also stated that if the emperor insisted on issuing the edict, the cabinet would seal it back.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Old Mrs. He put on her third-grade official uniform, led her fragile granddaughter and young and ignorant great-grandson to the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to file a complaint.
Yes, among the three departments, she did not choose the Dali Temple where the complainants went most often, nor the Criminal Department where her son was previously and where she had the most acquaintances, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which was extremely unrelated.
However, where is the Procuratorate? It is the headquarters of the censors.
A lady with silver hair on her hair, with a haggard expression but firm eyes. Next to her stood a frail girl with a body as thin as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind, with a sad and sick look on her face. In her hand was a tiger-headed child with tearful eyes.
, a young boy with an aggrieved look on his face.
As soon as this picture appeared in front of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it immediately attracted the attention of the censors who had a strong sense of justice.
What Mrs. He said was that in the Songjiang Tongbo case, Wang Shouren, as an imperial envoy, acted unfairly. Because he was the teacher of Shen Rui, the son of the former Minister of Punishment, he shielded the Shen clan members, confused right and wrong, fabricated evidence, and framed people. He family.
When they heard that Wang Shouren had done something wrong, the censors' eyes were bright, and they took turns to talk to the old lady He, and then hurriedly went back to make bullets.
When the news came back to the Shen Mansion, the third master was so angry that he threw the tea cup and cursed: "Witch, you are extremely shameless!"
Shen Quan, Shen Lian, Lu Sanlang and others couldn't bear it anymore and started scolding him one after another.
Shen Rui was also itching with hatred. Although he expected that Mrs. He would not spread rumors, he never expected that she would implicate Wang Shouren.
Teacher, this is a military achievement achieved by fighting with real swords and guns. His father and his son were originally jealous of the big shots in the court. It would be a huge injustice if they were impeached and banned from promotion because of this old witch's slander. Shen Rui was torn alive at this moment. She has it all in her heart.
Because the matter was so important, Du Laoba personally disguised himself as a vegetable farmer and entered the Shen Mansion to deliver the message.
At this moment, he was also in the study room, waiting for the Shen family to give him further instructions. His face trembled, his eyes were stern, and his words were ferocious: "Second Master Shen, please say something, and a certain family will let you know right now." The old pigs and dogs can no longer act recklessly."
Before Shen Rui could speak, Shen Lian quickly stopped her and said, "Master Eight, you can't do anything! It's easy to deal with this old witch, but at this time, if we destroy her, it will make our family feel guilty and want to silence her."
Du Laoba thought for a moment and then said: "A certain family has also heard about that case and knows that three men of the Shen family were tortured by the He family. It seems that the He family still wants to seek wealth and death, so why not find someone?" Let's spread these out and see if that old pig and dog has the nerve to say anything that has wronged the He family."
Shen Quan slapped the table and applauded: "It's like this! I can't stand this nonsense! If she comes back tomorrow, I will confront her and ask her. He Er's forgetful kid admitted it himself in the hall. She plotted against my fifth brother, plotted against my second brother, and caused my second brother to be tortured, had his arm broken, and lost his future! How could it be said to her that it was a false accusation against the He family? I would like to ask her if she still wants to Face, I dare to swear to God, but I am not afraid of thunder that day!"
Shen Lian was also very excited and said: "The whole Songjiang has suffered, the Shen family has been looted, but only a few worthless shops of the He family have been robbed. Is this a false accusation against the He family? Everyone in the world is blind and stupid. , just let her say it!"
When Du Laoba received the military order, he solemnly responded and went to carry it out.
Shen Rui quickly stopped him, "I do need you to spread some words, but it's not about how the Shen family was framed by the He family."
Shen Rui looked around for a week, and finally his eyes fell on Du Laoba, and said slowly: "When you spread your words, you are also going to give some advice to the censors. The imperial envoy sent this time is the one appointed by the emperor. And King Wang Shouren Your Excellency is just a deputy envoy, the internal officer Zhang Yong and Eunuch Zhang are the official envoys and imperial envoys!"
The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Shen Rui blankly.
The third master frowned and spoke first: "Do you want to use the emperor's appointment to intimidate the Metropolitan Procuratorate and use Eunuch Zhang to divert the censor's attention from Wang Bo'an, or do you want to instigate Eunuch Zhang to deal with the He family?"
Shen Ruidao: "Both are. But mainly the latter."
Internal officials are never monolithic. On the contrary, the struggle is far more fierce than in the court, and the methods are more despicable.
If Liu Jin wants to secure the top spot, she must find a way to step down from Zhang Yong, who has real military achievements and can take away his power.
And now Zhang Yonggang has been promoted to the eunuch of the imperial eunuch and has become the second highest ranking among the eunuchs in the inner court. He is still hot, so he cannot make any mistakes. If he is impeached at this time for practicing favoritism and malpractice, it will be unfair.
The main thing is to give the handle to Liu Jin.
How could Zhang Yong allow this to happen! Naturally, he must do everything possible to convict and punish the He family as soon as possible.
Shen Rui's eyes were full of coldness, He Taishu, this time, I will let you taste what it feels like to shoot yourself in the foot, and let you personally put a reminder of the He family's death.
Du Laoba over there immediately confirmed that he would definitely spread the news throughout the capital that Eunuch Zhang was the imperial envoy, and would also quickly tell Zhang Yong in the palace that the He family said that the imperial envoy was partial.
Sure enough, within two days, the Tongwa case was quickly concluded.
After investigation, it was found that He Nan Shengli was in contact with Japanese pirates and led them into the city to plunder; he ordered his servants to massacre common people; he made false accusations and harmed scholars; he cheated by buying questions in scientific examinations. He was sentenced and executed.
After investigation, He Dongsheng was found guilty of plotting rebellion and knowingly hiding it; he was lynched, tortured and imprisoned, resulting in the death of the employee. He was sentenced to death by hanging.
After investigation, it was found that He Yansheng was in contact with Japanese pirates and led the Japanese into the city to plunder and kidnap people. Since he was on the run, he was issued with arrest documents at sea.
After investigation, it was found that He Yongli had access to Japanese pirates and led them into the city to plunder. He was sentenced and executed.
Trouble with the Japanese was a serious crime and caused heavy casualties in Songjiang. The case was severely punished. All the men involved in the case were executed if they were fourteen years old or above. The men under fourteen years old and their female relatives were exiled for three thousand miles and lost their property.
After investigation, it was found that Zhang Yaozuli was in contact with Japanese pirates and led them into the city to plunder; he attacked the magistrate's office, attempted to assassinate the imperial envoy, and was guilty of conspiracy and conspiracy. He was sentenced to Lingchi.
After investigation, it was found that Yan Baowen had liaised with Japanese pirates and led them into the city to plunder; he attacked the magistrate's office, attempted to assassinate the imperial envoy, and was guilty of conspiracy and conspiracy. He framed and falsely accused and persecuted the three sons of the Shen family. The sentence was Lingchi.
For the serious crime of treason, the Zhang and Yan clans were punished. The males of the clan who were fourteen years and above were executed, and the males who were below fourteen were exiled for three thousand miles. The female family members were enslaved in the Jiaofangsi and lost their clan property.
After investigation, it was found that He Beisheng had cheated on the examination questions. Because the He family had been divided, he was not included in the Dongsheng and Nansheng families. He was sentenced to be deprived of his fame and honors, and was exiled three thousand miles (to Hainan).
After investigation, He Pingsheng was found guilty of cheating in scientific examinations and writing essays on behalf of others. He was judged to be deprived of his fame and title, and was deposed as a minor official in Liaodong.
After investigation, it was found that Shen Zhu and Shen Dian were ignorant and mediocre. They were taken advantage of by traitors and acted as the help of tigers. They were sentenced to be deprived of their family property and exiled two thousand miles to Yunnan.
At this point, the Tongwa case was finally concluded.
