Neither Di Renjie nor Li Xian expected that this trial would go surprisingly smoothly. Wang Bo, who had already deeply understood who his so-called "good friend" Ling Jiyou was during the trial, naturally had no idea.
He was polite and told the whole story of the case. As Di Renjie put all the personal and material evidence in front of him, Ling Jiyou had no choice but to plead guilty and admit that all of this was at his instruction. The official slave Cao Da
He was originally his confidant, pretending to kill someone and absconding to Wang Bo's house, and urging Wang Bo to hide him. It was also his arrangement.
In addition, Ling Jiyou also deliberately came to Wang Bo to lure Wang Bo to reveal the fact that he was hiding Cao Da in his house, and then used so-called "morality" to induce Wang Bo to poison Cao Da, and moved Wang Bo with so-called friendship, so that
Wang Bo refused to reveal that the mastermind behind the incident was Ling Jiyou.
What shocked Wang Bo even more was that Ling Jiyou had actually known about Wang Bo's entry into Chang'an City for a long time, and had waited there in advance, pretending to meet him by chance, and impressed Wang Bo with his sincerity, making Wang Bo believe that Ling Jiyou was doing it for his own good.
, and then without hesitation prepared money and silk to buy an official position, and buying an official position was only the first plan, the purpose was to make Wang Bo lose money, and the frame-up of Wang Bo was the second plan, the purpose was to make Wang Bo lose his life, at least
You will also lose hope of becoming an official.
The more Wang Bo listened, the more shocked he became. Although he chose to believe Li Xian from the beginning, he never expected that Ling Jiyou, a fellow countryman and former friend, would deliberately want to deal with him, and in a way that would not put him to death.
The kind that never gives up, he couldn't help but ask sharply: "Ling Jiyou, I have always regarded you as a close friend, why are you so deliberately trying to harm me?"
But he heard Ling Jiyou say calmly: "Without him, Ji Jun is talented! Huh, when was the time when I was with you, you didn't show off your talents without thinking about the embarrassing situation we are in? I have been with you since childhood.
Reading, but your memory is always better than mine. I haven't finished reading one article, but you have memorized both. Every time I see your smug look, I want to smash your face.
What a piece of shit, Wang Bo, you are so lucky today that you were able to get the court to retry the case and clear your name. However, the more this happens, the harder it will be for me to appease my hatred for you."
At the end of the story, Ling Jiyou was a little angry. He stood up and rushed towards Wang Bo, with the intention of giving Wang Bo a good beating.
Of course, Ling Jiyou could not achieve his goal of beating Wang Bo, because he was pulled away immediately. In addition, Di Renjie also sneered and said: "Ling Jiyou, you don't have to cover up the crime you committed.
The official knows that besides you, there are many people involved in this case. Hum, if you obediently recruit the people involved, I will punish you with a serious crime and a light punishment, and reduce your punishment. If you persist in your persistence, hehe, these government officials under my court will not
I just stood and watched.”
Ling Jiyou was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Di Renjie had such piercing eyes that he could see through his trick at a glance. Then he raised his hands and said, "What Di Yushi said is wrong. This matter is all done by one person and has nothing to do with others.
"
"Hey, I didn't expect you would dare to lie until now." Di Renjie immediately sneered: "Tell me, where did you send the millions of dollars Wang Zi'an gave?"
"At the office of Ma Huaiyu, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Ling Jiyou finally did not escape again and actually chose to speak frankly.
"Huh, you're lying!" Di Renjie couldn't help but get angry after hearing this, and then shouted loudly: "According to my investigation and evidence collection, the money received by Ma Huaiyu was only 100,000. Where did the 900,000 go?"
"I spent it myself." Of course, the 900,000 yuan was not with Ling Jiyou, but when he thought of the powerful power of the Wu brothers, he could only take the 900,000 yuan for himself.
But he heard Di Renjie sneer and say: "You haven't had any big expenses these days, how did you spend the nine hundred thousand? Di was surprised, Ling Jiyou, don't think that what you did is perfect. , As the saying goes, if people don’t know, unless I do nothing, your 900,000 yuan has been in Chang’an and has never been shipped back. If Di didn’t have this clue, how could he dare to interrogate you? "
"Ah? This..." Ling Jiyou didn't expect that his details would be revealed clearly by others. He was stunned for a moment, but thinking of the Wu brothers' ruthlessness, he still didn't say anything.
At this time, I heard Di Renjie say: "Ling Jiyou, you are also the Cao Cao of Guozhou, and you are naturally very familiar with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. As the principal criminal in this case, killing an official slave is not a serious crime. You only need to be removed from the official position and live a thousand miles away." That's fine, but you framed your colleagues and were also guilty of corruption. If you were punished for several crimes at the same time, you must be very familiar with the consequences. Hehe, you will be exiled for three thousand miles and you may not be able to return to your hometown in this life. In this way, you will have no idea about that hometown. Lord, what is the use of loyalty?”
"Di Yushi, I am willing to confess." After hearing these words, Ling Jiyou turned pale with fright and said quickly: "Actually, all this was done by the official under orders, and Wu Sansi forced the official to do it. If the official disagrees, he will immediately contact the official's official position and hand over the evidence of the official's corruption to the Censor's Office. The official will be caught by the official and has no choice but to comply. I hope the Censor Di will take the official into consideration. For the sake of voluntarily confessing, the subordinate officer will be given a lighter punishment."
Di Renjie nodded when he heard this and said: "Since you confessed, I should consider it when sentencing, but I don't understand one thing, why did Wu Sansi instruct you to do this?"
"To talk about this, we have to start with this year's Shangyuan Festival. On that day, Xian Tang Company, a famous business group in the Tang Dynasty, held a poetry meeting outside Anfu Gate..." Ling Jiyou then described how Wu Sansi used his power to bully others, and how Wang Bo How to deal with it, and how the May 34th would retaliate next, etc. were all explained, until Di Renjie shook his head repeatedly and said secretly: "This Wu Sansi's mind is really too narrow-minded, just for the fame and fortune." , to do such a thing, it is really a waste of Her Royal Highness the Queen’s cultivation. Originally, for the sake of my fellow countrymen, I still had a good impression of the Wu brothers. Now it seems, alas, they are just a bunch of dudes. …”
Now that everything has been clarified, the case will naturally be closed. Di Renjie sorted out the files clearly, then reported the matter to the emperor, and also put forward his own opinions on the sentencing of the relevant responsible persons.
About half a month later, Emperor Gaozong received the dossier sent by Di Renjie. After reading it, he couldn't help being furious. He slapped the case and shouted: "What bold thieves, one by one, they ignored the laws of the Tang Dynasty and sold their official titles wantonly. If this matter can be tolerated, , what kind of happiness can I have as an emperor?"
Therefore, an order was issued to immediately remove Ma Huaiyu, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Liang Yi, the governor of Guozhou, Zhang Tuisi, the governor of Guozhou, Ling Jiyou, the law cao of Guozhou, and others. Among them, Ma Huaiyu was exiled to Yazhou and will never be used again, and Liang Yi was demoted to Yaozhou.
Pingjiang County Lieutenant, Ling Jiyou was exiled to Longzhou, and Zhang Tuisi was exiled to Qianzhou. Among these people, Ma Huaiyu and Liang Yi were the prince's confidants, especially Ma Huaiyu, who relied on the convenience of his position to win over many people for the prince.
Man, his experience can be said to have dealt a heavy blow to the prince.
Zhang Tuisi and Ling Jiyou were the people won over by Wu Chengsi. These two people were "killed by bandits" on their way into exile.
As the victim of this case, Wang Bo restored his reputation and restored his official position. He also announced that his father, Wang Fuchou, would be relieved of the post of Jiaozhi County Lieutenant and promoted to Lantian County Magistrate.
Of course, Di Renjie, who had made great achievements in reviewing the case, was not forgotten by the court. Emperor Gaozong directly promoted him to Dali Cheng. Di Renjie was directly promoted from the small Bingzhou Facao at the eighth level to the Dali Cheng at the sixth level.
Being promoted eight levels in a row was like being promoted on a rocket. What's more important is that he used to be just a local official, but now he has become an important official in the capital. This is an official of Dali Temple.
They have the power to try all kinds of serious and important cases. The power is unimaginable. Even the Wu brothers can only temporarily cease their activities and dare not make any next move against each other.
Of course, Wu Sansi, who was the person in charge of this case, was reprimanded by the emperor. Given Gaozong's temper, Wu Sansi, as the culprit in this case, must be severely punished, removed from his official position, and sent to the army. However, Empress Wu
In order to plead for mercy in front of him, Gaozong, who had always been soft-spoken to Empress Wu, had no choice but to ask Wu Sansi to return all the stolen money of one million yuan, and at the same time also fined him a salary for two years to see the consequences. If he committed the crime again within two years, he would definitely be fined.
Crimes and punishments will not be lenient.
"Damn it, this guy Di Renjie is responsible for all this. If it weren't for this guy, I would not only be able to successfully get rid of this guy Wang Bo, but also get 900,000 yuan. It's a pity that everything will go back to where it started, and it's not even as good as it was before.
Some, I remember this Di Renjie, sooner or later he will definitely avenge this great hatred."
When Wu Sansi heard about the results of the trial and the results of the trial of everyone involved in the case, he couldn't help but gnashed his teeth and cursed loudly, but he could only curse at the moment, not to mention that the other party was in charge of the prison and had great power, even himself
They all want to curry favor with him, but in terms of official position, the other party is also at the sixth level, not lower than himself at all. There is really nothing he can do to him now.
As for the so-called assassination and poisoning methods, he really didn't dare to use them, because this is the capital after all. If he dares to murder a sixth-rank official of the imperial court in this way, and he is also an official of Dali Temple, it will undoubtedly declare that he is the same as the entire capital.
Dali Temple is an enemy. If this is really the case, he believes that he must be looking for death, and that he is the kind who cannot even save the Empress Wu.
Song Zhiwen on the side said calmly: "Mr. Wu, please bear with your anger for a moment. As the queen's nephew, you will have more promotion opportunities in the future. Di Renjie is just flattering King Zhou. This
Just got this position, how much development can I have in the future? Given the circumstances that have happened to me in the past, if I want to deal with Di Renjie, why should I worry about not finding a chance? What I should be thinking about most now is how to weaken the prince, which is what the queen is most happy to see.
After all, if the Queen is happy, will she still worry about being promoted to the Duke’s position?” (To be continued.)
