I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 54 Debate before you, Wang Zha combination

A quarter of an hour later.

Yushitai, the front hall of the Chaoyuan.

Censor Zhongcheng Wang Gongchen and Zhijianyuan Bao Zheng were sitting at the top with livid faces.

On one side sat Qian Mingyi and Li Ding, whose clothes were full of footprints, and on the other side sat the equally embarrassed Su Liang, as well as witness Zhou Yuan.

"Zhou Yuan, is what you just said true?" Wang Zhongcheng asked.

"It's indeed a fight!" Zhou Yuan nodded sincerely.

"Wang Zhongcheng, he...he is talking nonsense. It was Su Liang who beat me two, and we didn't fight back at all!"

Qian Mingyi looked depressed and stood up angrily.

When Su Liang heard this, he didn't refute and looked down at the shoe prints on his body.

Wang Gongchen said coldly: "You didn't take action. Where did the blood on the corner of Su Liang's mouth and the shoe prints on his body come from?"

"That was him...he did it deliberately!" Li Ding was very angry and stood up.

"You mean, the injuries on your body were caused by him, and the injuries on his body were all intentional by himself. You two were beaten into this state by him alone, but he was not injured at all?"

"Yes, yes..." The two of them nodded like chickens chasing rice.

Wang Gongchen looked at Bao Zheng aside.

Although his official rank is higher than that of Bao Zheng, Qian Mingyi is from the Jian Yuan after all.

Bao Zheng said expressionlessly: "Zhou Yuan has always been honest, and I believe what he just said."

"If Su Liang beats them up like this, won't they fight back or hide? I really don't believe that Su Liang can beat them up like this if he beats them both by himself. This must be a mutual beating!" "

Qian Mingyi and Li Ding are also in their prime.

The body is not small.

At this moment, the two of them stood there, looking even taller and burlier.

Although Su Liang is taller than them, he is relatively thin.

Judging from his body shape alone, Su Liang didn't look like he could easily beat the two of them.

In fact, Su Liang has been training, but he has never shown his strength in front of outsiders.

"I...we..." The two of them were suddenly speechless, not knowing how to explain.

At that time, they were completely frightened by Su Liang's fierceness!

Wang Gongchen slowly stood up.

"Stop explaining! The official family is upset recently. This matter happened inside the Taiwan Courtyard, so don't let it spread outside. The three of you each write a letter of apology. If such a heinous behavior happens again, I will punish you again." Punishment!"

After saying that, Wang Gongchen strode away.

Bao Zheng nodded towards Su Liang and left.

Now, in the court, Shi Jie's incident has made people panic, and neither of them wants to let such a fight waste time.

Su Liang smiled slightly at the two of them, and left with Zhou Yuan.

Qian Mingyi and Li Ding were so angry that they were shaking all over.

But helpless.

Su Liang has left a shadow in their hearts. I'm afraid if they meet again, they will have to lean against the wall and leave.

……

Five days later.

Lu Jujian, who was presiding over the trial of Shi Jie's rebellion case, reported to the court that there was only one letter that could prove that Shi Jie faked his death and entered the Liao Dynasty.

If we want to prove Shi Jie's innocence, we may have to dig a grave and open a coffin.

Nowadays, digging someone's grave is really disrespectful and even more abominable than taking someone's wife and daughter!
What's more, he is such a great scholar.

Above the court, the officials started arguing again.

One party believes that this matter involves a major conspiracy, and the grave must be dug immediately to find out the truth.

The other side believes that it is absurd and unprecedented to dig up the grave of a great Confucian for a letter whose authenticity is difficult to distinguish.

Ouyang Xiu's words were even sharper and he directly attacked Xia Song.

He believed that this matter was a conspiracy by Xia Song, and the purpose was to dig up Shi Jie's tomb.The officials in the court held their own opinions and became quarrelsome, which soon spread to the people.

Most of the people were opposed to the excavation of graves.

……

Today, afternoon.

Five people, Jia Changchao, Wang Gongchen, Liu Shi, Li Ding, and Qian Mingyi, suddenly faced the king together and blocked Zhao Zhen in Chui Gong Hall.

After Ouyang Xiu heard about it, he called Bao Zheng and Su Liang and rushed to Chui Gong Hall.

In the vertical arch hall.

Wang Gongchen was spitting and talking.

"Officials, Shi's involvement in Liao's plot to raise an army is by no means unfounded. I once again implore the officials to order the excavation of Shi Jie's tomb and quickly find out the truth. If there is no body in the coffin, we must make preparations in advance to prevent some traitors. We should cooperate with Liao Li to attack the Song Dynasty. This matter is extremely urgent. If it is not carried out immediately, the Song Dynasty may be in danger of overthrowing..."

Zhao Zhen sat on it, holding his head in one hand, feeling helpless.

He was confused.

Just when Zhao Zhen felt that his head was about to explode, the waiter at the door said that Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng, and Su Liang were outside requesting an audience.

"Xuan!"

Leaning slightly, Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng and Su Liang strode into the hall.

The three of them entered the hall.

Zhao Zhen felt that the aura pressure of Jia Changchao and the five people just now suddenly disappeared.

Ouyang Xiu ignored the five people, cupped his hands towards Zhao Zhen and said: "Officials, never listen to the words of treacherous people and dig graves and open coffins!"

"Shi Jie is just a Confucian scholar. How could he conspire with the Liao people? This matter is completely false. The authenticity of the letter has not yet been determined. If someone digs someone's grave because of it, it is not allowed by our decree!"

As soon as Ouyang Xiu finished speaking, Wang Gongchen stood up.

"Sister Ouyang, what you said is wrong. This matter is related to the safety of our country in the Song Dynasty. Digging a person's grave can prove whether Shi Jie Fubi is guilty, whether the letter is false, and whether the conspiracy is true. Why can't it be done? ?”

"If, as you say, any crime of false accusation requires the victim to prove his or her innocence, or even dig a grave to prove his or her own innocence, then I, a member of the Qing Dynasty, can't help but be framed and persecuted by villains all day long!"

"If this matter is false, who will repay Shi Shoudao for the humiliation of digging his grave, you, you, or you?" Ouyang Xiu stared at the five people.

At this time, Bao Zheng stood up.

"On the day when Shi Jie was buried in the earth, there were relatives, old friends, and neighbors. There were dozens of people who witnessed it. We only need to call the people who handled the funeral one by one. Isn't it possible to ask the truth and confirm whether Shi Jie died?" ?"

Liu Shi, the censor waiting in the palace, stood up.

"You can do this, but it's too late. If the Liao people and Fu Bi join forces to attack the Song Dynasty, can you afford this responsibility?" Liu Shi took Bao Zheng's army instead.

Bao Zheng smiled scornfully and looked at Jia Changchao.

"May I ask Prime Minister Jia, if there is no order from the Privy Council, can Fu Bi mobilize the soldiers on the east and west roads of Beijing? If Fu Bi really rebels, can he make a lot of noise? Is our Hebei Forbidden Army all a decoration?"

This sentence immediately choked Jia Shuxiang.

He thought for a while and said: "What if Fu Bi has formed his own power there? In order to stabilize the country, we have to guard against it!"

Bao Zheng looked at Zhao Zhen on the throne.

"It is also necessary for officials to dig graves and open coffins. But I think there should be a prerequisite."

"If Shi Jie's body is still there after the coffin is opened, I hope that one of these five people can accompany Shi Jie's son to pay filial piety to Shi Jie for 27 months!"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Gongchen and other four Taiwan admonishers all turned their attention elsewhere.

Jia Changchao said angrily: "Bao Xiren, we are not the sons of Shi Jie, how can we perform the filial piety of Ding You? It is inappropriate to set such a bet in the court!"

"Okay!" Zhao Zhen stopped him.

If the two argue again, they will start to attack each other personally.

Zhao Zhen looked at Su Liang, who had never spoken, and asked, "Su Liang, what do you think?"

Su Liang came out of the queue and held up his hands, saying: "If the court digs graves and opens coffins, it will be an unkind official!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell silent.

Zhao Zhen has always been known for his benevolence. If the word "benevolence" is taken away because of this incident, then all these years of hard work will be in vain.
