Cai Que entered the palace and said sagely: "Your Majesty, both Deng Runfu and Shangguan deliberately excused Chen Anmin. This is untrue. They were afraid that I would find out the real evidence, so they spread rumors and slander in the capital."
"This time the two interrogated the prisoner to induce him to retract his confession. However, the prisoner had no objections and everyone present could testify for me."
The official had already received a reply from the person below: "It seems that Wu Chong agreed to Chen Anmin's request, and there is no doubt that Wu An's poems will be collected by three thousand strings."
"A family of ten people needs one thousand guan a day, but they have less meat in the morning and vegetable soup in the evening! As the son of the prime minister, Wu Anshi actually collected 3,000 guan, which is enough for a family of ten people for ten years."
"Taizu made repeated orders not to allow officials to commit adultery by comparing themselves with each other, and he would never tolerate bribery or bribery."
"As for Deng Runfu, none of the superior officials were able to see clearly, and the report was inaccurate. As a censor, he was unfair and biased, and he also slandered you."
"Now that I have understood everything, I will demote the two of them out of the capital, and you, the censor Zhongcheng, will do it! And I will give you advice to the doctor!"
Cai Que was overjoyed when he heard this, and then said: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness, but Xiangzhou's prison is extremely complicated, and many ministers of the dynasty are involved in it. Among them, Wu Anshi, Wu Anzhi, and Wen Jifu have not yet asked for their confessions."
, I don’t know whether I should continue the investigation or stop here.”
Prime Minister Wang Gui said: "Your Majesty, this case cannot be tolerated!"
The official said solemnly: "Since I took control of the artifact, the ministers have formed many factions and formed factions for personal gain. The ancestors' rules favored the scholar-bureaucrats and did not kill anyone. As a result, the current imperial order is in chaos. I will fight hard and investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Wang Gui and Cai Que both said yes, and they were secretly shocked. This time the emperor was really angry. Was he going to abolish the rule of not killing scholar-bureaucrats?
Any emperor hates the formation of cliques for personal gain, especially the alliance between the old party and the prime minister, and this was before he attacked Xia, so he had to clean up the atmosphere in the court.
The official paused and then said: "But after the spring begins, there will be a big competition, so don't make too much of a fuss!"
Cai Que continued to arrest people through the list of confessions and obtained confessions.
Among them, it was found that Wu Chong, Sima Guang, and Wen Yanbo exchanged many letters at that time, and they inevitably talked about the court affairs. There were also many criticisms of the new law, including Chen Xiang, Sun Jue, Su Che, etc., including Su Shi's letters
Letters to several prime ministers.
As a result, more and more people were implicated.
Cai Que was arrested all over the city and wanted to arrest Wu An's poems and essays by Jifu.
Dr. Taichang Huangfu Zun, as an official of the Yushitai, arrived at the gate of Zhang's Mansion with more than ten white-robed officials of the Yushitai and asked: "I was ordered to capture the imperial prisoner Wu Anshi, Wen Jifu, and return to the house to inform the prisoner of his whereabouts."
!”
The officials came in to report, and then Peng Jingyi and Huang Haoyi left the house.
Peng Jingyi asked: "Do you know where this place is?"
Huangfu obeyed: "I only see criminals."
Peng Jingyi said: "Even if your censor, Zhongcheng, comes here to look for someone, he still has to show off. How dare you, a lowly official, do this?"
Huangfu obeyed: "So the prisoner is indeed in the mansion?"
Peng Jingyi said: "The mansion is so big, who knows if they are there or not. If I say I don't know, what will you do?"
Huangfu obeyed: "Then please let me see Mr. Zhang and report to him personally."
Peng Jingyi said: "How could you see the illness announced by Prime Minister Zhang?"
Huangfu obeyed: "In that case, I will come back tomorrow to ask for advice!"
After saying that, Huangfu Zun left with a group of his men.
At this moment, Wu Anshi, his wife Lu, Wu Anzhi, Wen Jifu and Fifteen Niang were in the Zhang Mansion.
Now that Cai Que was in the name of being imprisoned, he was extremely powerful and arrogant. Wu Anshi did not dare to hide in Wu's house for fear of being found out. So after Chen Anmin was arrested and imprisoned, he immediately hid in Zhang Yue's house with his family.
.
Wu Anchi also came, but he did not bring his wife Wang. After all, no matter how bold Cai Que was, he would not dare to implicate Wang Anshi's daughter.
Wen Jifu also hid in Zhang's house with his fifteenth mother, just like Wu Anshi.
Wu Anshi could not help but feel anxious all day long, sighing and sighing.
When he saw Seventeenth Mother, he said: "Sister, my father is the prime minister and is out of town, so that my brother-in-law can continue to take care of my Wu family after he returns to the court and joins the government."
"Who would have thought that my brother-in-law actually complained without asking, isn't this hurting me? If my brother-in-law was still in charge of the seal in the political hall, he wouldn't dare to touch me even if he had the courage to do so."
The seventeenth mother said to Wu Anshi: "Brother, my father left because of a disagreement with Shu Guogong. How can he give up his position to Sanlang? Besides, it is true that you received three thousand guan in money!"
"Now that Sanlang allows you to stay at home, he has already shouldered the responsibility of sheltering you. You are particularly dissatisfied."
"I think you should surrender to the Criminal Department and admit your guilt."
Wu Anshi said: "For a mere three thousand guan! My sister wants to hand me over? I am a son of the prime minister, let alone three thousand guan, so what about 30,000 guan?"
Seventeen Niang said: "Since you have done something wrong, you can't blame others. Why do so many government officials in Beijing insist on catching you instead of arresting Cai Zhen? You usually use your father's name to collude with He Qikang over the years.
, taking care of official business outside, both parties want benefits."
"The evil master eats up and eats the evil master. The evil master eats up and eats the evil master. How much money has he collected? How many foreign wives have he raised, and how many women have he abandoned in the end? Is there anyone in the capital who doesn't know your reputation as Huahua Dashao?
It’s not unusual to be here today.”
Wu Anshi was said to be speechless. He has indeed been too arrogant in recent years.
There is his father Wu Chong here and his brother-in-law Zhang Yue there. No one in the entire capital dares to offend him.
Wu Anshi's biggest problem is that she is lustful. No matter whether she is a prostitute or a good girl from a good family, as long as he likes it, he will find a way to get it. After all, he still knows some sense of propriety and does not dare to use force, so he has a bad reputation.
After talking about Wu Anchi, the fifteenth mother came in and saw the scene where the seventeenth mother and Wu Anshi were arguing. The four brothers and sisters looked at each other.
…
Zhang Yue knew about the dispute between the four siblings.
The three brothers and sisters of the Wu family did not seek discussion with Qi Niang, but they deliberately used their words to show themselves.
He, Zhang Yue, didn't mind Wu Anshi at all. He had long been disgusted by this man who had been acting in the name of himself and the Wu family over the years.
Due to Seventeen Niang's kindness, Zhang Yue always treated Wu Anshi well.
Unexpectedly, for Wu Anshi, even if he reached the prime minister's position, he still thought that he had pulled his wife's nepotism into the promotion.
After he became prime minister, a member of the Ministry of Justice came to ask for advice, saying that Wu Anshi used his post to ask for attention to the case. After Zhang Yue inquired, he learned that Wu Anshi had repeatedly interfered with justice in his own name.
This forced Zhang Yue to clarify that Wu Anshi was Wu Anshi, and Zhang Yue was Zhang Yue.
"If I hadn't come to my house to borrow books from Yun Zhangsan, would he be where he is today?"
After this incident, Wu Anshi said it to others more than once when she was drunk, and then spread it to her own ears.
He said this once or twice, and many times. It seemed as if Zhang Yue had approached his Wu family in the name of borrowing books, and tried every means to win the heart of the Seventeenth Mother, and then he asked the Wu family to marry their daughter to him.
Zhang Yue couldn't explain the problem yet.
Now that something happened to him, Wu Anshi, his first reaction was to run to his house to seek refuge.
Doesn't he know that in the evidence chain of this Xiangzhou case, is the three thousand guan the key? He, Wu Anshi, still wants to run away after taking the money?
More than thirty officials have been fined. Will you, Wu Anshi, be fine?
This face is as thick as a wall.
Besides, the Wu family has been kind to me, but the repayment in the future will only be limited to Wu Anzhi and Shiqiniang's sisters. As for Wu Dayanai, your kindness has long been exhausted by that foul mouth.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue wrote a letter and ordered it to be sent to Wang Gui immediately.
Afterwards, Zhang Yue came to the room, and Wu Anshi and Fifteen Niang stood up together when they saw Zhang Yue.
Wu Anshi's face was filled with joy, she grabbed Zhang Yue's sleeve and said, "Brother-in-law, my affairs have turned around, right?"
Zhang Yue nodded to Wu Anshi and said, "It's a bit tricky, but why should I just sit back and do nothing about my uncle's matter?"
Sitting next to the chair, Seventeen Niang frowned when she heard this, and then understood something.
Then Zhang Yue said to Wu Anzhi and Fifteen Niang: "I have told the Prime Minister that you will go to the Ministry of Punishment in three days just to ask a question. It will not take two hours to go back the same day."
"The censor, Chen Mu, who is on duty today, will take care of it for you!"
It is known that Chen Mu is Zhang Yue's confidant.
Wu Anchi and Fifteen Niang said with grateful expressions: "Sanlang, I'll help you this time."
Zhang Yue said: "Hey, one family doesn't speak the same language."
After the two of them finished talking, Wu Anshi hesitated and said: "Can my brother-in-law really be able to go in and out on the same day? I will confiscate the three thousand guan!"
Zhang Yue sneered in his heart: "Brother-in-law, you don't have to go either!"
Wu Anshi's face stiffened and she said: "What are you talking about? Now that my father is far away in another state, the only one in Beijing can count on you. You are in power at the same time. No matter it is Dali Temple, Yushitai, or the Ministry of Punishment, no one will sell your face."
Woolen cloth?"
Zhang Yue said: "My uncle's words are serious. No matter how big the official position is, it can't be bigger than the national law. But this time your matter is a little bigger, so I might say a few more words. Don't worry. Since you said you didn't get three thousand guan, then it's fine.
It’s done. Someone will remind you when the time comes.”
Wu Anshi was overjoyed when she heard this and said: "Brother-in-law, I have complained a lot about you in the past. It's great that you don't remember the faults of villains today."
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Brother, don't say that. I can save you this time, but I can't save you the next time. Don't do that in the future."
Wu Anshi sneered in her heart, if you can defeat Cai Que, why do you need to ask for help this time? In the end, you are still afraid of something.
Zhang Yue looked at Wu Anshi's expression and knew that his words of advice had once again fallen on deaf ears. Fortunately, he had no intention of spoiling him this time.
Three days later, Wu Anshi and others took carriages to go to the Ministry of Punishment.
The Ministry of Punishment seemed to have received the news early. A large group of officials were waiting at the door to separate them one by one and invite them into the Ministry of Punishment.
The others were interrogated by Cai Que in person in the bright and bright lobby of the Criminal Department, while Chen Mu sat side by side.
Only Wu Anshi was brought into a dark room with all the windows locked and sealed, except for one official.
The other party gave Wu Anshi a fierce look and said, "I, Huangfu Zun, please sit down first!"
Then the door behind him closed, and Wu Anshi had an ominous premonition.
On that day, Wu Anchi and Wen Jifu were all released after asking for their confessions. Only Wu Anshi remained in the Criminal Department.
