The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Chapter 459 Re-investigation of an Injustice
A jailer happened to be carrying a food bucket to distribute breakfast. Hearing this, he casually replied, "It's a little Taoist priest."

Then he lowered his voice and said, "Wang Zhangyin has also been imprisoned."

"Wang Zhen?"

The young jailer said nothing more, but his meaning was clear. The prisoner laughed and clapped his thighs, saying happily, "Great, great! If I can die in the imperial prison with Wang Zhen, my life will not be in vain."

Pan Yun also held onto the railing with both hands, her little face pressed into the middle, staring at Wang Zhen with sharp eyes, "Wang Zhen, is the emperor finally willing to review my father's case?"

Wang Zhen sat on the bed, his eyes cast gloomily on Pan Yun's face, and said coldly: "Don't be too proud too soon. Even if you re-examine, you won't get the results you want."

Pan Jun sighed and said, "You are so confident."

Wang Zhen sneered: "I am not confident in myself, I am confident in human nature."

"Do you think I will die if I make a mistake? Do you think that if I die, the court will get better? The politics will be clear? Naive, you are really too naive." Wang Zhen looked into her eyes and said sternly: "I tell you, the termite is not me, but the civil and military officials in the court, the countless gentry in Jiangnan, and the wealthy gentry hidden in various places!"

"Do you really think that your father and Xue Xuan were punished because of me? Go ask your father... Oh, your father, that fool, probably doesn't know. Then let Xue Shao ask his good uncle. Xue Xuan should know how he ended up like this!"

Pan Jun still had an expression of watching a show, not affected by his words at all. She said with a click of the tongue: "I really want to let you look in the mirror and see your hideous face now. If you are not afraid, why are you so anxious?"

Wang Zhen's ferocious expression gradually calmed down. He stared at Pan Yun coldly: "You can't kill me because His Majesty needs me! And why does His Majesty need me? Pan Yun, think deeply, even if you kill me, the world will not be better!"

Pan Jun waved her hand, and the futon on the bed flew over. She put it under her buttocks and sat cross-legged, as if she was going to have a long talk with Wang Zhen. "Wang Zhen, it's not that we think you are too important, but you think you are too important. We never thought that the world would be better after getting rid of you. It's just that if we take out one rat shit from a pot of rat shit, at least there will be one less rat shit."

"you!"

"But these are not important anymore," Pan Yun stopped him from talking, leaned over the railing, and asked curiously, "I just want to know, if you really died because of this case, would you regret your decision to enter the palace?"

Wang Zhen said word by word: "No regrets! I only regret that I didn't kill Xue Xuan and Pan Hong because of a slight mistake back then."

Pan Yun said, "Fortunately you didn't kill him, otherwise you wouldn't have had these three years of peace and tranquility."

Wang Zhen thought of something, and said with a smile: "Pan Yun, do you dare to bet? I will not die this time, but you will not have an easy life either. The ones who are really proud are the civil and military officials who are against His Majesty."

Pan Yun: "I bet you are right. What is the bet? Our lives? If you are right, I win and you die; if you are wrong, I lose and I die!"

Wang Zhen: …

He was so angry that he blew out a breath from his nose and pointed at her and said, "Get out!"

Pan Jun snorted, picked up the futon and stood up: "It's you who didn't dare to gamble."

Pan Yun threw the futon back onto the bed, then lay down on it, crossed his legs and began to think. After counting on his fingers, he concluded that today should be the day when the results of the palace examination would be announced.

Alas, it must be Xue Shao who took action.

They originally wanted to sacrifice one of them and wait until the emperor made a decision, but they didn't expect that both of them would be sacrificed.

But it was Wang Zhen who came in instead of Xue Shao, it seems he has something.

Pan Yun didn't know that she had contributed a lot to this. If it weren't for the recording talisman, it might not be Wang Zhen who was with her in the imperial prison today. After the palace examination was over and all officials went to court, Xue Shao's answer sheet was taken out separately and finally turned into a petition.

Zhu Qizhen asked: "Is Xue Xuan's case really unjust?"

Xue Shao knelt in the middle of the hall. He had no right to speak at this time. The fathers of several young masters whom he had visited the day before yesterday came out one after another and said righteously: "If you want to know whether Xue Xuan and Pan Hong were wronged, you just need to find out whether the Yue family murdered their husbands and the He family murdered their husbands. "

“If there is no injustice in these two cases, then we can investigate why Xue Xuan and Pan Hong overturned the two cases; if there is injustice in these two cases, we can see the injustice of Xue Xuan and Pan Hong.”

Ma Shun refused to accept the decision and stepped out to say, "Your Majesty, this case was jointly supervised by the Censorate, the Southern Pacification Office, and the Eastern Depot. The evidence is irrefutable, and it was Your Majesty who personally ordered the execution of Xue Xuan. You have spared his life out of consideration for our past friendship, but Xue Xuan is not only ungrateful, he even wants to accuse you of mishandling the case..."

Xue Shao interrupted him, "Master Ma, my uncle has never had such an idea. Your Majesty, I came to the capital to appeal for justice not for my uncle."

Zhu Qizhen: "If not for him, then for whom?"

"It's for the parties involved in the Yue and He cases," Xue Shao said, "My uncle is free from worries and is very spontaneous. He can live well even without being an official, and he is not burdened by his reputation.

But the families involved in the two cases are different. They are just ordinary people who have been wronged, have nowhere to appeal, and have no money to borrow. If you think about it carefully, don’t you feel pain and regret?”

Xue Shao looked up at the emperor and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, life is only a few decades long and there are many hardships. How can we, knowing that it is wrong, impose this hardship on the common people and ignore their pain?"

The hall was quiet for a moment, but only for a moment. Soon the hall became noisy again as everyone discussed with each other. No matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone had their own interests. Just because they agreed in their hearts did not mean they had to agree with Xue Shao.

Wang Zhen has been in the court for many years and he has a large group of supporters. Whether these people like it or not, they all rise and fall together.

Do you really think these are two ordinary cases of husband murder being vindicated?

If Wang Zhen really fell into trouble, they would be afraid that none of them would be able to escape.

So even for their own sake, they had to protect Wang Zhen.

But the civil servants who had always wanted to bring down Wang Zhen also saw an opportunity. Even though they were few in number and weak in strength, they quickly united as one and discussed the importance of review from various angles.

As they were talking, a civil official said loudly, "Your Majesty, it is because of the existence of treacherous people like Wang Zhen in the court that evil spirits appeared in the imperial prison. Your Majesty, if Wang Zhen is not removed, the evil spirits will not be eliminated, and the country will not be at peace!"

This was a big deal, and Zhu Qizhen didn't know what to think. As soon as the civil servant finished shouting, he immediately formed an investigation team to re-investigate the Yue family murder case and the He family murder case.

Xue Shao was fortunate to be able to participate in it and was not avoided because he was a relative of Xue Xuan.

As soon as the grand court meeting ended, the Royal Guards rushed into the Imperial Observatory to arrest someone. "Yin Song, is the story of the demon cat in the imperial prison really evil? Go to the Northern Pacification Office and the Metropolitan Prosecution Office and explain immediately!"

Yin Song: ...

He felt so helpless. He felt like a leaf in the Yellow River. He accidentally fell into the river and was now being swept forward by the rapids.

However, the destination was already expected, and Yin Song had also anticipated the result. He stood up calmly and went with them to the Northern Pacification Office.
