Except for Tao Shaozhang, who is careless, and Chu Qing, who is half-grown and half-ungrown, no one can sleep well. Even the emperor didn't sleep much that night.
Seeing that the officials were waiting for court, Sun An ran into the Jingyi Hall. When he opened his mouth, the fourth child almost cursed.
Fifty-eight officials from various government agencies and offices in the six bureaus and nine temples took sick leave today.
How many officials were there in the previous dynasty, plus the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple's original jury, as well as the Ministry of War. Chu Qing had greeted the Ministry of War in advance and asked Tan Zhongping to lead his juniors to maintain order. Now, the size of the political hall was reduced by half. Minister.
"I wasn't sick in the past, but I am sick today."
The fourth man looked gloomy, with a faint look of anger on his face.
Sun An was so angry that he didn't dare to breathe. Not to mention after the fourth son ascended the throne, this kind of situation has never happened even since the beginning of the Chang Dynasty. Being sick is just a reason, and everyone knows it. They all go to Jingzhao Mansion. Already.
"You are treating me like a fool." The fourth child was really angry and snorted coldly: "Okay, then I... am also sick, so there will be no court today!"
Sun An's eyes went straight and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Fourth child, fourth child, you are indeed the one, our family never guessed it through you.
Huang Laosi urged: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you take your clothes quickly? I'm going to cheer for Lao Shi!"
Even though Sun An was convinced, he still wanted to go. Did those ministers ask for leave to support Chu Qing?
"But the minister's side..."
"No, it cannot be said that I am not in good health. I am a vigorous and upright man in the prime of life. How can I be sick? Let's just say that the Supreme Emperor is ill and that he is dying. I have to accompany the Supreme Emperor in Zhaoyang Palace today. Go quickly."
"We'll go there right away."
Sun An ran outside the government hall and explained the situation. He would not go to court today. When everyone saw that the fourth child was in ruins, they didn't say anything and hurried out of the palace because they also wanted to watch the fun.
In fact, it wasn't excitement, I just wanted to know what Chu Qing was going to do.
More than 300 people were arrested, either officials or members of aristocratic families. Could it be that Chu Qing was going to declare war on all the aristocratic families in the world?
Single-handedly making the emperor and courtiers unwilling to go to court, Chu Qing can be regarded as the first person to open the court.
Seeing that it was almost midnight, a crowd had already gathered outside Jingzhao Mansion. There were countless people. It could be said that it was a sea of people. The sea was clear and the river was clear. The breeze was blowing, and people were watching with hands and hands. The onlookers were like clouds. When the clouds opened, I saw thunder, thunder and storms, and chicken feathers and feathers. Not even violent, the whole room burst into laughter, blanch!
Chu Qing sat in the carriage, opposite Fu San.
From the moment they got on the carriage, there was no communication between the two, and they both had their own missions.
Chu Qing's purpose can't be explained in a few words, but Fu San's mission and purpose are very pure, to change a book, "Chang Lv"!
Tan Zhongping rode on a tall horse and commanded the soldiers to isolate the people.
Boss Tan was also very tired. He really didn't expect that so many people would gather.
It is still related to Tao Ruolin. Originally there were not so many people, but Tao Ruolin played a good leading role. She posted a notice in the southern suburb of Zhuangzi early in the morning, saying that even if she did not work today, she would still be paid, and then led the farmers from the south. After entering the door, instead of going directly to Jingzhao Mansion, I first walked around Beishi City and spread the word. When I saw that so many "common people" had gone to Jingzhao Mansion, other people simply followed to watch the fun. A lot of people were paying attention to this matter originally. After all, it has been a hot topic for half a month, and it is even more lively than Yuan Ye.
Jingzhao Mansion had already been stopped by Ju Ma, and it faced a temporary wooden stage. This was originally Chu Qing's stage. After thinking about it, he decided to do it again. Let the third brother use the stage together, and the two brothers Let’s play together.
There was still a quarter of an hour before Chenshi, Chu Qing's carriage arrived outside Jingzhao Mansion, and Ma Rui and Tao Shaozhang, dressed in official robes, had been waiting for a long time.
After opening the car door, Chu Qing rubbed his waist and walked out. When he appeared, there were thunderous cheers, one cheer louder than the other.
Chu Qing was too lazy to turn around and wave. He knew without thinking that it must be the group of "actors" from Taojiazhuangzi who were leading the group. He called out if he saw who was coming out of the carriage.
Tao Shaozhang immediately waved his hand and showed a big smile. Just as he was about to greet him, Ma Rui reminded him softly: "Master Tao, people are waiting and watching. Don't lose official etiquette, don't forget official etiquette."
The eldest uncle walked over quickly, not even bothering Ma Rui.
Do you care about me? Even that old guy Tao Yao doesn't trust me and returns my honor.
Walking up quickly, Tao Shaozhang rubbed his hands: "Brother-in-law, Brother Yu has been waiting for a long time, just for this day, let's do something big."
Chu Qing smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's do something big and let the world know that Jingzhao Mansion, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment are not just for free. In this world, there is still the word justice."
"Okay!" Tao Shaozhang took a step back, bowed and saluted: "For justice!"
Chu Qing responded: "For justice."
Ma Rui walked over quickly, looking excited: "For justice."
Tao Shaozhang said angrily: "Don't forget official etiquette."
The sound of gongs and drums came, and Chu Qing turned around and saw that the men from the Criminal Department were coming.
According to the formal procedures, when the minister, even the minister, goes out to bomb the street, he must clean the street. Just like now, the government officials clear the way and put up flags, and the people must disperse on both sides and not move rashly.
But here is Changjing, there are as many ministers as dogs, ministers are everywhere, and there are many big brothers everywhere in the shallow water, so it is rare for officials to be so flamboyant. It is too high-profile. But today is different. Everything today must be done according to the rules.
Program comes.
There was a large number of people in the Ministry of Punishment, and there was only one official sedan chair, with the minister Zhai Xiu sitting in it, and the other minor ministers, such as ministers and doctors, were not even qualified to ride in the sedan chair.
In fact, logically speaking, this matter is a matter for the people to sue the officials. Not to mention the court, even the Ministry of Punishment can pretend that nothing happened.
But in order to make this matter bigger, Chu Qing didn't arrest people in the name of Qianqiying, but the three-level supervisor.
This also led to ambiguity in procedures and names, and a lot of news was released, saying that the three border roads, especially the Xunyang Road, had privately embezzled weapons and embezzled the food, wages and weapons of the border troops. This also gave Chu
The incident of Qing's arrest was given legitimacy and legality, but what is puzzling is why Chu Qing's guardian Fukusan sued these people.
In any case, the emperor seemed to be happy to see it happen, and the courtiers did not dare to speak. The whole matter was somewhere between legitimate and improper. Everyone tacitly asked Chu Qing to make the matter bigger, and this is how it happened.
Such a scene today.
The horse was pulled away, and more than 20 officials from the Ministry of Justice entered the venue. Zhai Xiu also walked out of the sedan with a dark face, glanced at Chu Qing, and snorted slightly.
Quickly arriving in front of everyone, Zhai Xiu pulled a stern face. Although he was slightly angry, when he opened his mouth, Chu Qing smiled.
"I'm going to tell you something ugly. If there is no irrefutable evidence, even if Mr. Ma has sentenced the people you arrested, I will deny it when they get to the Ministry of Punishment. Without irrefutable evidence, don't even think about moving those criminals. Where did they come from?
, just go back to where you want to be, you can tell me after you find the irrefutable evidence!"
Chu Qing showed a knowing smile and saluted Zhai Xiu: "Thank you, Master Zhai."
Zhai Xiu snorted again and stood next to Ma Rui.
Chu Qing had always believed that out of a hundred officials in the court, ninety-nine would be picked out at random, and none of them would be killed with three shots, but several ministers, except Bing Tao, the minister of the Ministry of War in Nanguan
In addition, several other ministers are different from the courtiers. These ministers have justice in their hearts.
As Zhai Xiu said, there is no irrefutable evidence. Even if Ma Rui is sentenced, the Ministry of Punishment will not recognize it. If he is stuck in the Ministry of Punishment, there is no way to convict him. But there is another sentence behind it: Where did he come from? He will be imprisoned there, not where he came from.
, where to put it back.
This means that even if Chu Qing is unable to produce irrefutable evidence today, these more than 300 people will still have to be imprisoned in the Qianqiying Prison and the Penal Department Prison instead of being released. As for how long they will be imprisoned, it depends on Chu Qing
