“……”
The six officials whose names were called knelt at the front and cried out their crimes.
They naturally weren't kneeling to Kong Yan. Just now, when Li Junxian had sent a letter straight into Taiji Palace, many had seen Wang De chase after him.
Initially, the other officials had been listening to the six people's complaints, but gradually, many of them had discovered something unusual.
Zhangsun Clan!
In their complaints, the Zhangsun Clan was basically mentioned.
All the officials glanced at Zhangsun Wuji intentionally or unintentionally. Unfortunately, they were standing in the same order in the imperial court.
Zhangsun Wuji stood at the very front. The only person who wanted to see his entire face was the person opposite him.
For example, Kong Yan.
"Bribery, inspector, disaster relief is not good, should be beheaded.”Kong Yan said indifferently. He then looked at Zhangsun Wuji and asked,"What does Uncle Zhangsun think?"
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Kong Yan indifferently and said calmly,""I am the Minister of Personnel."
Kong Yan laughed and turned to Du Ruhui.""Do you think Du Pushe should be beheaded?"
Du Ruhui frowned and slowly said,"I suggest you put them in prison first and interrogate them later."”
" There's irrefutable evidence," Kong Yan said with a smile." They've already admitted it. Why do we need to interrogate them?"”
Du Ruhui looked at him deeply and didn't say anything else.
"When it involves the Zhangsun Clan, even Du Pushe has to fear it?”Kong Yan sighed and said," But many of the local officials who embezzled the disaster relief funds are descendants of the Zhangsun Clan. Are we going to let them all off? Then wouldn't the two lords, Jin Yuliang and Liu Quansheng, who had just been killed, die unjustly?”
Du Ruhui's eyes twitched, and his face darkened. Who did he offend? He wasn't the one investigating this case.
He had made a suggestion out of kindness, but in the end, this kid had said that he was afraid of the Zhangsun Clan!
Zhangsun Wuji's expression was also very bad. After Kong Yan revealed that the disaster relief funds had been embezzled, he knew that this time, many members of the Zhangsun Clan would be implicated.
Zhangsun Shunde was murdered. While he was shocked, he also heaved a sigh of relief. At least the Zhangsun Clan's reputation had been restored.
And now, he felt that the Zhangsun Clan was being targeted once again.
"It's understandable that Du Pushe doesn't dare to offend the Zhangsun Clan.”Kong Yan sighed again." I caused Zhangsun Jiaqing to lose one of the Crown Prince's attendants, and I had a dispute with Uncle Zhangsun's eldest son, Zhangsun Chong. I think I've offended the Zhangsun Clan enough.”
"Since things have come to this, I don't mind continuing to offend you.”Kong Yan's expression turned cold." The six of you knew that the local officials in Guanzhong were not doing a good job in disaster relief, but you didn't report it. Instead, you took their money. You deserve to be killed!"”
"Slash!"
Kong Yan's voice was devoid of warmth.
"Take him away!" Zhu Sanlang gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
Killing six of them at once was a huge psychological pressure on him.
Right at this moment, a sharp shout rang out.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the Gate of Heaven Influence and saw Li Shi Min, who was wearing a golden dragon robe, walking towards them.
"There's no need to be so polite." Li Shi Min said directly before everyone bowed.
As he spoke, he walked behind Kong Yan and glanced indifferently at the table in front of Kong Yan. He found that there was still a thick scroll that had not been opened, and the corner of his eye twitched.
"Does Your Majesty want to save the six of them, or do you want to save those corrupt criminals from the Zhangsun Clan?”Kong Yan didn't turn around and asked indifferently.
The six men kneeling on the ground looked at Li Shiming with complicated expressions. They were ashamed, but at the same time, their expectant eyes made Li Shiming feel like he was looking at a concubine before she fell asleep.
However, the difference in their faces was too great, which made Li Shimin feel a chill down his spine.
"I asked you to investigate the murder of Shunde. Have you investigated it?”Li Shiming didn't answer Kong Yan's question and asked instead.
He didn't realize that his tolerance for Kong Yan had grown.
At least when everyone looked at the two of them, some of the lower officials were trembling with fear, and the higher officials could not help but frown.
After all, it was extremely disrespectful for Kong Yan to sit still when he knew Li Shiming was coming.
Kong Yan didn't care about what the ministers were thinking. He raised his eyebrows and said,""Your Majesty, do you still remember Liu Yi? On the day of the murder, the murderer had visited him in prison.”
"Liu Yi?" Li Shi Min was startled.
"The censor of the Imperial Censorate, the most ruthless one among the officials.。”Kong Yan reminded.
"Oh." "Oh, so you already know who the murderer is?"”
"If Your Majesty trusts me, go back to the Qing Ning Palace to accompany the Empress. Before noon, I will close these two cases.”Kong Yan stood up, turned around and cupped his hands at Li Shiming.
"Can't you solve the case with me here?”Li Shi Min sneered.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to continue the interrogation?" Kong Yan sighed and asked.”
Li Shi Min frowned and looked at the six pitiful officials kneeling on the ground. He said coldly,""You only need to try the case. There's no need to sentence him.”
"No sentence? Then what case?" Kong Yan frowned.
"You try the case, I will judge!" Li Shimin smiled.
Kong Yan's eyebrows knitted together in displeasure.
" Why should I…" Kong Yan snorted and sat down gloomily.
Li Shiming's face darkened.
He could tell that Kong Yan had deliberately said those words to him to express his dissatisfaction.
Then, he realized that Kong Yan's face turned even darker after he sat down.
When I stand, who else would dare to sit except for the Guanyin maid?
" Cough cough…" Wang De coughed twice to remind Kong Yan.
Kong Yan flipped through the documents on the table and ignored them.
"Brat, His Majesty is here and you still refuse to take your place?!”Li Jing shouted with a dark face.
Kong Yan glanced at him and knew that he meant well.
"In the past, when has the presiding judge ever stood?”Kong Yan snorted lightly, still sitting like a rock.
"Then you'll let His Majesty stand?" Cheng Yaojin also said.
Li Shiming's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He really wanted to slap Kong Yan away.
Kong Yan sighed and said," This is Eunuch Wang's discomfort. He knew that His Majesty would come here to listen. Why didn't he prepare a dragon throne for His Majesty in advance?"”
Wang De was speechless.
"F * ck, you're really sitting hard?!”Hou Junji cursed as he stepped forward to pull Kong Yan from his seat.
Zhu Sanlang immediately stood in front of Hou Junji, blocking his path.
Hou Junji glared at Zhu Sanlang, his face ashen."You dare to stop me?"
In his eyes, Zhu Sanlang was nothing more than Kong Yan's servant.
"I wouldn't dare. I just want to remind General that my young master is very precious. I can't help but be frightened!" If the young master was frightened, the consequences could be very serious.”
"Jin Gui? No matter how precious he was, could he be more precious than His Majesty?”Hou Junji said disdainfully.
"Forget it." Kong Yan stood up and gave up the sofa. He looked at Li Shiming and made a gesture of invitation, saying," If Your Majesty doesn't mind, please."”
After saying that, Kong Yan didn't look at Li Shiming's face, which was about to turn into a demon, but turned to Zhu Sanlang and ordered,"Go get another one."
"Yes."
Zhu Sanlang nodded and left. Hou Junji's face was as dark as water as he coldly glanced at Kong Yan before returning to his seat.
Li Shi Min took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and sat down on the sofa.
The soft feeling made his eyes flash with a touch of novelty. This seemed to be a little different from the sofa in the Qing Ning Palace.
"This kid sure knows how to enjoy himself." Li Shimin glanced at Kong Yan and snorted.
" Your Majesty," Kong Yan stood beside the table and said," the evidence against these six people is conclusive. How do you intend to sentence them?"”
“……”
The six officials who had been kneeling on the ground once again looked at Li Shimin with shame and pity.
