My wife is Wu Zetian

Hearing Zheng Xuanfeng's words, Li Zhi glanced at the other party, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Why did Li Yanran hand over those bandits to Zheng Xuanfeng?

Could it be that Zheng Xuanfeng is Li Yanran's man?
"Zhang Zhishui, don't you have anything to say?"

Regardless of the relationship between Zheng Xuanfeng and Li Yanran, it would be a death penalty if these people dared to sneak attack on the Lishan fiefdom.

The Ministry of Punishment is like this, there must be a statement.

"Your Majesty, I have just taken over the Ministry of Punishments, and I have not fully taken over the affairs of the Ministry of Punishments. Now the person in charge of reviewing and approving cases is Cui Shouye, the servant of the Ministry of Punishments. Presumably he knows more about it than I do."

Zhang Zhishui glanced at Cui Shouye who was standing on one side, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

Lao Tzu is the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but you made such a decision without my consent.

This is to push Lao Tzu out as a shield.

No matter what your status is, don't blame me for being unrighteous if you are unkind.

"Cui Shouye, come out and answer."

Hearing that it was Cui Shouye's trick again, Li Zhi's beard was about to fly.

This guy has been against him by relying on himself as a member of the Cui family.

Now he extended his tentacles to his daughter.

Moreover, these aristocratic families were responsible for this banditry sneak attack. I couldn't find a chance to investigate and deal with it. Now you have brought it to your door.

If I don't give him some strength, I really think the child has no father.

"His Majesty."

Cui Shouye glared at Zhang Zhishui, then stepped forward to salute Li Zhi.

"Say, why do you want to obstruct the bandits reported by the Jinwu Guard? Could it be that those bandits have something to do with you?"

As soon as Li Zhi shot the dragon case, he shouted at Cui Shouye.

"Your Majesty, the minister is Zhongliang, an important minister of the court, how could he be involved with those bandits,

It is nonsense for Jin Wuwei to say that I am harsh on his approval. The Ministry of Criminal Approval is a right and an obligation conferred by the imperial court.
The criminal department of each case must be clear and clear. After all, human life is greater than the sky, and there is no room for sloppy.

Besides, I just said that a detailed review is required, and I didn't say that I disagree with the content of the Jinwu Guard's report. "

It was beyond his imagination that Zheng Xuanfeng dared to bring up this matter at the court meeting, but it was harmless to him.

Because everything he did was done according to the procedures of the Ministry of Punishment, and no one else could fault him.

"Your Majesty, it is a capital crime for these bandits to attack my Princess Datang's fief, and the evidence and confession sent by the minister are all complete.
Such a villain, why does the Criminal Ministry go through cumbersome procedures,

You must know that the sinners reported by the Jinwu Guard in the past did not have this kind of treatment,
So I have reason to doubt, is the minister of punishment really not involved in these bandits? "

Zheng Xuanfeng spoke again, you have never been so procrastinating about the crimes I sent over before.

If you do this now, if I don't bite you, I really think I can't make it out of mud.

"Cui Shouye, what else do you have to say?"

Li Zhi stared at Cui Shouye, he wanted to see what Cui Shouye had to say.

"Your Majesty, I want to sue Zheng Xuanfeng for slander, and I hope that Your Majesty will make the decision for me."

Cui Shouye did not continue this topic, but changed his target and pointed the finger at Zheng Xuanfeng.

"You know best if you have slandered, Zheng Xuanfeng, can those bandits give any clues about Cui Shouye and Cui Shilang?"

A playful look flashed in Li Zhi's eyes, and he looked directly at Zheng Xuanfeng.

"?"

Zheng Xuanfeng was taken aback when he heard this, what does His Majesty mean?
Didn't it mean that those bandits, how did they get involved with Cui Shouye again?

Is it.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xuanfeng couldn't help but shudder.

He thought of a very cruel situation, and he seemed to have been involved in the struggle between the imperial power and the family.

I am just a pawn, if I am really involved, if I am not careful, it will be a doomed situation.

"Zheng Xuanfeng, let me ask you something,

If you don't have evidence, what you said just now is slandering the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and you should be punished for this trip.

But if there is evidence, I will definitely make the decision for you, so as to suppress the dignity of my court. "

Seeing Zheng Xuanfeng's stupidity, Li Zhi also hated iron for being weak.

If you can seize such a good opportunity, then I will protect you. If you are a fool and dare not offend the family, then it doesn't matter if you throw it away.

No matter what kind of relationship you have with Li Yanran, I will not protect you if you don't know the current affairs and don't know how to advance or retreat.

"Yes, one of the bandits confessed that the reason why they wanted to attack the Lishan fiefdom was that they were assigned by the Cui family.

That's why the minister said that Cui Shilang was involved in this banditry, so he was thinking of delaying the time, and it should be to find a way to get rid of the crime. "

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Zheng Xuanfeng couldn't help shivering.

Li Zhi's meaning couldn't be more obvious. If he doesn't become a pawn, he will become an abandoned son.

Offending Cui Shouye, the second-rank servant of the Ministry of Punishment, may still have a chance to survive. If he offends the emperor, he will surely die without a place to bury him.

If he doesn't know how to choose now, then half of his life will be in vain.

"Zheng Xuanfeng, you are spitting blood, Your Majesty, I hope you will investigate thoroughly and return the minister to justice."

Hearing that Zheng Xuanfeng dared to slander him like this, Cui Shouye was stunned.

What is my identity, I am a member of the Cui family with five surnames and seven surnames, you dare to say that I am in collusion with bandits.

Don't you know what the consequences of doing this are?

"Cui Shouye, do you still want to quibble? The Jinwu Guard has no grievances or enmities with you. Why don't you just say that you are colluding with bandits?"

Li Zhi slapped the dragon case again, causing the pen and ink on it to jump.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter should be thoroughly investigated. After all, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment is a high-ranking member of the court. It is really unbelievable that he has colluded with the bandits."

"Your Majesty, I still hope that Cui Shilang is dedicated to serving the country. It would be unfair to say that he is guilty just because of his words."

"Your Majesty, think twice."

Seeing that Li Zhi was determined to put Cui Shouye to death, the officials in the court also looked at each other and pleaded with the emperor one after another.

"The so-called knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart, there are also moths in my Tang court. If you justify Cui Shouye in this way, are you also his cronies?"

Seeing so many officials interceding for Cui Shouye, Li Zhi didn't want to hold back anymore.

If you don't take the opportunity to beat the family, maybe what will happen to them next time.

"Xu Jingzong."

Li Zhi glanced at Xu Jingzong, and said that if he concocted a crime, framed it, this person must be unique.

You must know that first-rank officials like Changsun Xiang and Gao Xingfu were easily taken down by him.

Now it's time for him to do it again.

"The minister is here."

"I ordered you to thoroughly investigate Cui Shouye's collusion with the bandits, and you must give me an explanation."

"The minister obeys the order."

Xu Jingzong glanced at Li Zhi, then at Cui Shouye, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Cui Shouye, if you fall into my hands, you can only be considered unlucky.

"Your Majesty, if I disagree with Xu Jingzong's thorough investigation, I hope your Majesty will learn from you."

Hearing that Li Zhi wanted to send Xu Jingzong to investigate him thoroughly, Cui Shouye couldn't help but shudder.

Who doesn't know that this old boy is the yin of yin.

If he falls into his hands, he will have to shed a layer of skin even if he is not dead.

"Do you dare to question me? Come and take Cui Shouye to prison for trial. Without my order, no one will be able to meet with him. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy."

Taking a look at Cui Shouye, you still dare to make demands now, do you really think that the world of Tang Dynasty belongs to your family?
The imperial army rushed over and took Cui Shouye down without distinction.

Seeing this scene, everyone was silent.

Everyone could see that Li Zhi had made a real move this time. If he had wanted to make a move before, he would not have moved such a high-ranking official as Cui Shouye.

"Retreat."

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

"Uncle, something is wrong."

Cui Xiuye ​​rushed into Cui Yuqing's mansion, his eyes were full of tension.

"I already know."

Cui Yuqing waved his hand, signaling Cui Xiuye ​​not to panic.

"Uncle, Shouye's actions are completely blocking guns for others. We can't let His Majesty treat him like this. If we really put the hat on my Cui family, then our family's century-old reputation will be ruined."

Cui Xiuye ​​looked at Cui Yuqing, his eyebrows are burning now, you are still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, isn't it a bit too much.

"Of course I know, but now that this matter has been handed over to Xu Jingzong, what can we do?"

Cui Yuqing was also depressed for a while, the current situation is too difficult, and Cui Shouye is indeed to blame.

You have just experienced a bandit attack, and now the emperor is angry, you have to poke this hornet's nest.

If you hit the top bird with a gun, the emperor will not bother you.

His nephew really made him a little depressed.

He did a great job without saying a word.

"Then we must find a way. We can't just sit back and watch Xu Jingzong put this hat on his head."

Cui Xiuye ​​felt that he was going to die in a hurry, although what his brother did this time was a bit inappropriate.

But that was also for the good of the aristocratic family, now that he is in trouble, should he let it go?
"I'll discuss it with other families first. You prepare some gold and silver and go to Xu Jingzong's mansion to see if he can find a way to accommodate it."

After Cui Yuqing finished speaking, he waved his hands, and Cui Xiuye ​​also nodded helplessly and left.

"Brother, Shouye may not be saved."

Cui Yuanjun looked at Cui Yuqing, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"If we can't be saved, we have to do our best. Otherwise, with the friendship of cultivating and keeping the industry, he will definitely hate us, and the Cui family said that there will be trouble."

Cui Yuqing shook his head, he naturally understood what Cui Yuanjun meant.

Now that the emperor ordered it, Cui Shouye must be hard to get rid of the crime. If he wanted to preserve the reputation of the Cui family, he could only let Cui Shouye commit suicide.

It is said that the heavenly family has no kinship, so how can there be a family?

But once he did this, what would Cui Xiuye ​​think?
"But."

Cui Yuanjun shook his head.

"It's nothing but, I'll go to them to discuss it. If it's really impossible, at least I have to keep the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Otherwise, my Cui family really has no place in the court."

Cui Yuqing got up slowly, went out from the back door, got into a carriage and ran towards Wang's house.

Cui Xiuye ​​prepared a thousand taels of gold to pay a direct visit to Xu Jingzong.

"Master, Cui Xiuye ​​is asking to see you at the back door."

"Cui Xiuye? Just say that the old man is not in the mansion."
