Chapter 417: So he can't resist

"To encourage the refugees to attack the earl's mansion is a rebellion. The old man wants to sue the imperial court, and the old man wants to make Gu Jiu unable to eat."
The refugees retreated, supported by Jin Wuwei, Cheng Enbo Zhuci suddenly gained confidence.
In the presence of Jinwuwei Zuowei Wei Zhong, he kept accusing Gu Jiu of rebellion.
Wei Zhong's eyes were rigid, "Uncle calmed down. Do you have any tangible evidence of the imperial rebellion? When the subordinate comes to your Majesty to reply, he can't just make up his emperor's grandson's rebellion out of thin air. But I want to decapitate."
This is an obvious threat. Ask Cheng Enbo Zhuci to speak carefully.
What's the situation outside the Nancheng Gate? The fight between the Zhu family and Madam Zhao has been in full swing recently, and none of them escaped Jin Wuwei's eyes.
As for the refugees attacking the Earls Court today, it is indeed unexpected.
It's just that a few hundred people rushed into an earl's mansion, and they didn't even open the door, and no one climbed up the wall to enter the earl's mansion. This was a weird thing.
I am afraid that the refugees' attack on the earl's mansion is false and the deterrence of the Zhu family is true.
What is the benefit to Madam Zhao just to make things big?
Wei Zhong didn't want to understand the truth.
Cheng Enbo Zhuci had a gloomy face.
Thinking of the Earl’s Mansion almost being rushed in by the refugees, thinking of his fear and panic at the time, he couldn’t wait to peel off Gu Jiu.
So he must let Gu Jiu die.
"What is it to encourage the refugees to attack the earl's mansion? Isn't it a rebellion? Lord Wei, are you trying to protect Madam Zhao?"
Wei Zhong's face sank, "Uncle, be careful when speaking. You said the edict was rebelling, what about the evidence?"
Cheng Enbo Zhuci was furious, "Isn't the stone lion smashed outside the door evidence. Isn't the straw sandals and ragged clothes evidence?"
Wei Zhong's expression was gloomy, "This can only prove that someone has attacked the earl's mansion, but it cannot prove that there is a rebellion. Killing officials to rebel, killing officials to rebel, rebels must at least kill an official.
Not to mention killing officials, they didn't even kill a small servant, they didn't attack other mansions, and they didn't beat and smash at the market, and didn't cause chaos in the capital. Could this be called a rebellion? "
It can only be regarded as a precision strike, and the target is Cheng'en Bo House.
Cheng Enbo Zhuci was angrily, "What does Master Wei mean? You ask the old man for evidence for such an obvious thing? The evidence is outside the Nancheng Gate. Master Wei hasten to investigate! As long as you check, it will be certain There is evidence."
Wei Zhong said: "Outside the southern city gate, the lower official will naturally send someone to investigate. But before the investigation, the lower official will ask him again if he is sure that the people who attacked the earl's mansion are refugees outside the city?"
Cheng Enbo Zhu replied politely, "Isn't it the refugees outside the city or who? Lord Wei, the old man is the victim, but you have been interrogating the old man. What is the reason? Gu Jiu, why don't you interrogate Gu Jiu? She is the culprit."
Wei Zhong said: "Whether Mrs. Zhao is the culprit or not, my uncle doesn't count. Since my uncle can't produce more evidence, he will leave."
"Master Wei, I hope you can handle this case impartially. If you let the old man know any tricks, the old man will never let it go."
Wei Zhong smiled coldly, "Farewell!"
Wei Zhong led people to leave the earl's mansion.
The subordinate asked: "My lord, are you going to investigate outside Nancheng Gate?"
"Of course it needs to be investigated. Didn't Cheng Enbo say that he wants to investigate this matter thoroughly? The investigation, from the beginning to the end, not let go of every clue. Those people who were caught by Xiyiwei a few days ago, asked them to give a copy Here comes the file."
Wei Zhongyin sneered.
Dare to be arrogant to Jin Wuwei, not to kill you.
...
Wang Jiangen returned to his shack with excitement.
The whole family is waiting for him.
Seeing him back, Qi Qi let out a sigh of relief, all with relief.
Wang Lian asked hurriedly, "Is it all right?"
Wang Jiangen washed his face, "It's okay, things are going well. We went to the capital and got things done in a while. Look, what is this?"
"silver?"
Wang Lianshi couldn't believe it.
For so many years, I have only seen copper plates, but I have never seen silver. As far as the Wang family's standard of living is concerned, they can't make any money at all, and it's not bad to have copper.
Wang Jiangen grinned, "One or two silvers, the boss gave me hard money. Now I will have the money to move."
Wang Lian carefully picked up the silver, learned that the shopkeeper in the shop put the silver in his mouth, and grinned, "It's real silver."
"The owner gave it, of course, real silver. And they were all two official silvers, one or two silvers and one bloom. Look at the bottom of the silver. The words are printed on it."
Wang Lian turned the silver over and saw that it was printed with three characters. It's a pity that she knew her by character, but she didn't.
With these two silvers, the family's livelihood will not be a problem. When moving to a new house, I also have money to buy two decent pieces of furniture.
...
Li Sheng received one and two five dollars from the accountant.
He is the team leader, responsible for leading thirty people to attack the Earls Court. Afterwards, he was responsible for organizing everyone to retreat, but Jin Wuwei was not caught.
Therefore, his salary is five bucks higher than others.
As soon as he came out of the account room and turned a corner, he entered the sales office.
"I buy a house, two."
He thought about his wife and children, and when he found them, he must have a place to live.
Buy two for one and two. Save up the five dollars left, and make new clothes for the children in the future.
The sales office can be quite interesting these days.
When people are in panic, nobody really patronizes here.
Just a buddy guarded and made a look.
Hearing that someone was buying a house, the guy froze for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"You, you, you want to buy a house?"
Li Sheng nodded, "Yes. I want to buy a house in Lane Fifteen."
The guy came back to his senses and quickly turned out the house registration form to check, "The house in Lane 15 has been sold out."
Li Sheng frowned.
The man continued: "You can buy a house in Lane 13 and Lane 12. It's only one or two more expensive, but the area of ​​the house is larger, and the lighting is good."
Li Sheng thought for a while, "Can I see the house?"
"Yes! Can you watch it now?"
Li Sheng nodded.
The guy took the key and took him to the house.
The guy is very curious, "Why do you think of buying a house at this time, are you not worried? No one has bought a house these days, and there are even people who come to inquire about check-out."
Li Sheng grinned, "I believe the owner will be able to overturn Zhu's."
"Haha..."
The dude laughed, "Have foresight. I will give you an inside story. There will be at most three or five days before the construction site will resume. It is wise to buy a house at this time!"
When Li Sheng heard about the resumption of work, his whole body was energetic, "Is it really possible to resume work in three or five days?"
"I listened to what the manager said, this can still be fake. Look, Zhu's family is a grasshopper in the autumn of the fall, and it won't last two days."
Li Sheng chuckled.
...
Gu Jiu and Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci both wanted to make the matter big, so it really happened.
Two days later, Wei Zhong posed the investigation report in front of the emperor, his face was pale with anger.
"It's a nonsense! Call me both Cheng Enbo and Gu Jiu."
Chen Dachang took the order and ordered the people below to quickly bring Gu Jiu Cheng Enbo into the palace.
While reading the investigation report, Tianzi asked Wei Zhong about the specific situation.
"Is it true that refugees hit Cheng'en Bo Mansion?"
"Basically, it is true. On that day, people who were suspected of being refugees entered the capital at both the East and West Gates, but the people from Cheng'en Bo's House were unable to come forward and identify them.
"Why can't I identify it?"
"At that time, Chengen Mansion was terrified from top to bottom. No one noticed what the people outside looked like. Moreover, none of the people who attacked the Earls Mansion had crossed the wall and had no chance to face the people in the Earls Mansion. ."
The emperor smiled coldly, very contemptuously, "Incompetence! Waste! A few refugees rushed to the door, and they were so scared that one or two dared not show up. Since no one has identified them, how do you arrest people? How can you be sure that things are actually done by the refugees? "
"Your Majesty forgive your sins, and the Weichen is incompetent. The Weichen did not find any definite evidence. If your majesty allows, the Weichen will take people to arrest people outside the Nancheng Gate. Under the three sticks, I am not afraid of not confessing.
"Absurd!" The emperor scolded angrily.
Wei Zhong hurriedly pleaded guilty.
The emperor said angrily: "The construction site outside Nanchengmen has been suspended, and the refugees have no income. It is the time when the sentiment is exciting and it burns at a point. Are you arresting people at this time, are you trying to provoke a civil revolt?"
"Weichen is stupid. Fortunately, your majesty ordered, weichen almost made a big mistake."
When Wei Zhong pleaded guilty, he didn't forget to flatter him, so that he was comfortable with the emperor.
No wonder he can be the first running dog by the emperor's side, and he is indeed capable of being an official.
The emperor snorted, his expression a little more relaxed than before.
"You are good at arresting people and investigating cases, but when it comes to guessing people's sentiments, you have to learn more."
"Weichen will follow your majesty's teachings. The case of the refugees assaulting the earl's mansion, should we continue to investigate?"
The emperor threw the investigation report on the desk heavily, "No one has identified it, and there is no real evidence. What to investigate? Are you Jinwuwei busy?"
Wei Zhong laughed inwardly, with a panic on his face, "Weichen is dull. After all, it is the earl's mansion. Weichen is worried that if Cheng Enbo is dissatisfied with the investigation, he will go to his majesty to lodge a court case.
The emperor's face darkened, "I will give him a chance to be highly imperial today. I also want to hear what he has to say."
...
Gu Jiu refused Liu Zhao's company, and followed the maid into the palace alone
Arriving at Xingqing Palace, without accident, I met Cheng Enbo Zhuci.
Gu Jiu smiled at him and gave him a courtesy, "The younger generation has seen my uncle. How is my uncle?"
Cheng En Bo Zhu did not say anything and ignored her.
Gu Jiu was wronged and said to the servant: "Uncle is an elder, I don't care."
Cheng En Bo Zhuci was furious when he heard this, "Gu Jiu, why do you inspire the refugees to attack the earl's mansion? As soon as I meet with your Majesty, the old man will definitely join you."
Gu Jiu blinked, "Uncle, you can eat rice indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. I advise you to take back this sentence quickly."
"Don't think about it!"
"Don't make noise!"
Shen Changshi walked out, "Uncle, Madam Zhao, please come in. Your Majesty is inside. Please be careful when you speak and don't shout loudly."
Gu Jiu was blessed, "Thank you Shen Changshi for reminding me."
She did enough etiquette and was polite to everyone.
"Uncle please first." Gu Jiu said to Cheng En with a smile.
Cheng Enbo let out a cold snort and walked into the hall first. Gu Jiu followed closely behind.
Shen Changshi looked interesting, thinking that Cheng Enbo might lose in this round.
He instructed Xiaohuangmen, "Uncle Cheng Enbo will come out later, remember to return the money to him."
The little yellow door was surprised.
Shen Changshi smiled without explaining much.
...
Inside the hall.
Gu Jiu bowed and saluted.
She has a belly, which is really not that convenient.
The emperor saw her hard work, so he resigned, "Give Madam Zhao a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
As the little uncle of the emperor, Cheng Enbo was naturally given a gift.
But he was very excited, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report."
"Say!" The emperor said concisely.
Cheng Enbo said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Madam Zhao incited the refugees to attack the earl's mansion. This is clearly a rebellion. Please order this matter to be investigated severely, and Madam Zhao will be punished with death!"
The emperor looked gloomy and glanced at Gu Jiu, "Gu Jiu, did you hear that? Cheng Enbo said you rebelled, do you want to defend it?"
Gu Jiu bowed and nodded, "Granddaughter-in-law wants to plead. Uncle, you keep accusing me of inciting the refugees to attack the earl's mansion. Can anyone prove it? Is there material evidence?"
Cheng Enbo was very excited, "Who did it that you did? Only you can do such a crazy thing. You clearly retaliate with personal gains. If you don't want the old man to suppress you, you will take such crazy behavior. Gu Jiu, Do you still plead guilty?"
Gu Jiu smiled contemptuously, "What crime do I confess? Why am I guilty? Uncle opened his mouth and said that I was guilty, and he could neither show evidence nor physical evidence, and forced me to confess my guilt. You are the Law of the Great Zhou Dynasty or the golden words. ?
You say that whoever is guilty is guilty, and you are more powerful than the Dazhou Law. The Great Zhou Law convicted anyone guilty, and at least paid attention to a certified physical evidence. As for you, just rely on your mouth to break it straight! "
"you you you……"
Cheng Enbo was extremely angry, pointing at Gu Jiu, his mind turned fast, desperately thinking of Gu Jiu's handle.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jiu took the lead, "Your Majesty, the granddaughter-in-law wants to sue the Zhu family of Cheng'enbo House. The Zhu family evaded taxes and evaded taxes. The amount is huge, involving millions of tax losses. Please check carefully."
"You are presumptuous!" Cheng Enbo was shocked.
"Shut up!" The emperor pointed at Cheng Enbo and yelled.
Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci was frightened, his face pale.
As soon as the emperor heard the tax loss of millions of taels, his face changed.
What does the emperor hate most?
I hate someone digging the corner of Da Zhou the most.
Tax evasion people are the most hateful in the eyes of the emperor.
The imperial court has huge resistance and it is difficult to carry out tax reform.
But it does not mean that someone reports tax evasion and the emperor will sit back and watch.
The emperor had a gloomy face, "Gu Jiu, you said that the Zhu family evaded taxes, do you have evidence?"
Gu Jiu definitely said: "Yes! Your Majesty can pass the household tax Cao, and the embroidered clothing Wei Zuo Wei, Mr. Xu, went to the temple. A few days ago, the two sides jointly checked the tax, and all the evidence accounts are in their hands."
The emperor's face was dark, "According to the household tax, Xu Xianzhi enters the palace."
Chen Dachang got the order and quickly explained.
Cheng Enbo Zhuci panicked, "Your Majesty, the ministers also want to report Gu Jiu for tax evasion."
Gu Jiu looked at him with pity in his eyes, "Uncle don't know, all the properties under my name have been paid the same amount from the first day of opening. The Household Tax Administration has a detailed tax list. Haven't you heard of it?"
"Impossible!" Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci shook his head repeatedly.
Gu Jiu smiled contemptuously, "For the good of Lord Tober, because of your malicious suppression, the tax paid by my property this month is estimated to be less than half. Tax Cao should hate you."
Cheng Enbo Zhuci's face changed drastically.
Gu Jiu suddenly raised his voice, "Your Majesty, grandson-in-law has something to say."
"Say!"
Gu Jiu said loudly: "Cheng Enbo deliberately sabotaged the project outside Nanchengmen, deliberately driving up the market price and disrupting the market. As a result, construction sites outside Nanchengmen were suspended.
Thousands of young refugees were left without work, thousands of families were forced to lose their livelihoods, and tens of thousands of refugees fell into hunger and cold. In the long run, tens of thousands of refugees are afraid that they will kill officials and rebel, attack the capital, and cause immeasurable damage to the entire capital.
Cheng Enbo clearly knew the serious consequences of this incident, but he still relied on his financial resources to do wrong things. The grandson's daughter-in-law saw that he was deliberately forcing the refugees outside the city. He is a wolf ambition. Not only can he die for money, he can even betray the court, even Da Zhou, and even his majesty. "
As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall was tense and might break at any time.
Chen Dachang carefully observed the emperor's reaction.
The emperor is obviously on the verge of rage.
Cheng Enbo's face turned pale, and he reacted instantly, pointing at Gu Jiu's nose and yelling, "You are spitting blood. The old man has no grievances against you. Why do you want to harm the old man?"
Gu Jiu chuckled and said softly, "Uncle is sure that I have no grievances and no enmity with me? Let me remind you that before, my uncle confessed to oppressing me personally. Why didn't he admit it in a blink of an eye?
The jewelry store, drug store, grain store, cloth store, and construction site under my name are completely out of stock. The guys have nothing to do, and the daily loss is thousands of taels. This is also called no grievances and no enmity?
Do you have to wait for your uncle to seize my property and then kill me? I'm sorry, I'm not a daughter-in-law, I won't be beaten on the left face, but I will take the initiative to be beaten on the right face. Let the uncle down! "
"Your Majesty, there is only ordinary business competition between Weichen and Madam Zhao, not what she said. Your Majesty, don't believe him!"
Cheng Enbo knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.
He is also smart.
Seeing that he was about to lose, he changed his strategy decisively and began to pretend that he was old, weak, sick and disabled.
It is human nature to be strong and pity weak.
The weaker party naturally gets more support and sympathy.
But, the person they face is the emperor?
This trick is definitely useful?
