Fortunately it was discovered in time.

When Pule surrounded Taicang, he immediately inspected the grain stored inside.

Sure enough, some people were found to be using sand as food!

When Pule threw the sandbags into Chongde Hall.

Da Sinong Shaoping was completely stunned.

Although he was still standing there, his body was shaking like chaff, and his big beads were dripping down from his mouth. He was groveling like a condemned prisoner before his execution. even!

Shaoping's appearance was far less calm than that of a death row prisoner.

He was panicked to the core.

The little emperor pointed to the sandbags on the ground, his eyes falling on Shao Ping like sharp swords.

His voice was low, but sonorous and powerful:"Shao Ping, as the great minister of the imperial court, you actually found sandbags in Taicang. How do you explain this?" The little emperor seemed to be standing on the high ground of morality. , you can point your finger at Da Sinong Shaoping unscrupulously!

But......

Da Sinong Shaoping is also an old man.

Since he dared to do such a thing, he had already thought of the countermeasures after the incident:"Your Majesty, this kind of thing happened because of Wei Chen's lax discipline. Wei Chen must catch the criminal as soon as possible and bring him to justice. Thank you to the world!"

"Ah!"

"hehe!"

The little emperor gave a bitter smile.

Shaoping was obviously the mastermind behind all this. However, even to this extent, he still made excuses.

Of course, this was also Shaoping's brilliance, because Man Chong searched all over for evidence of crime, but there was no evidence. Direct evidence can prove that Shao Ping is the mastermind!

After all, a witness can accuse you of false accusations. If you want to punish Shaoping, you must have at least one piece of physical evidence. But this kind of physical evidence, a veteran like Shaoping Fried dough sticks, how could he let it exist? He had already destroyed all the physical evidence.

It was precisely because of this that Shao Ping dared to stand in fear.

Otherwise, under the irrefutable evidence, Shao Ping would have been paralyzed on the ground in fear. No.

Beside him, Zhuge Jin took out the file and began to inquire in court:"On July 26, the imperial court hired six craftsmen to clean up the stone debris on the west side. Your signature is on the file..

Shaoping immediately replied:"Every activity requires my signature, but as a senior agricultural officer, I will not be responsible for such things. These things are completed by subordinate officials.""

That's right!

Some small matters do not require the leadership to take action at all.

Usually, the process is initiated by the little shrimp below, and then the leader signs it.

In this process, the leader may be guilty of not investigating, but if it is a bigger problem It is a little impossible to put the hat on.

Zhuge Jin is normal. He has seen too many people like this.

He also knows that it is almost impossible to cure Shaoping's serious crime of collaborating with the enemy based on the things on the books alone. Possible!

But......

It's okay to procrastinate and procrastinate

"So......"

Zhuge Jin continued:"On July 28, the same thing was done again. This time ten people were used, and the price was much higher than before. What's going on?"

Shaoping immediately replied:" I don’t know much about the prices around Taishan yet, but I feel that the prices are about the same as those in Luoyang, so I think they are reasonable. This is the crime of not investigating!"

He confessed!

But it’s also a superficial crime.

It is completely different from the nature of selling grain to Yuan Shao.

For such a trivial matter, at best, he would receive a scolding, or even be demoted.

But once it is a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy, he may not be able to save his head!

Shaoping understands this kind of thing very well.

Before he did these things, he had already thought about how to deal with it if something happened.

Have to admit.

He behaved very well.

It was so good that the little emperor wanted to rush down and give him a kick

"Damn it!"

The little emperor secretly cursed"Damn it," his eyes widened, and his mouth was full of steel teeth. His anger was beyond words.

He did not hesitate, raised his finger and pointed at Shaoping, opened his mouth and cursed:"Shaoping, you are also a 78-year-old boy. Si Nong, if there are only one or two things in the official affairs, it is indeed a crime of not investigating. Now there are at least fifty or sixty cases, is it still a crime of not investigating?"

"How long has it been since I came to Mount Tai from Chang'an?"

The little emperor was really angry to the extreme.

He finally saw the hope of life, but what the hell, a moth appeared directly and embezzled the national interests. In his eyes, this was simply a capital crime!

But why ?......

There is no such thing in the law.

The little emperor already had the idea of ​​changing the law.

He must do it, there is a law to follow!

"On average, there can be seven or eight cases in a month?"

"What did you do like a big farmer!"

The little emperor cursed sternly and was hysterical.

Shaoping knelt on the ground with a bang:"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I hope your Majesty will allow me to resign and go into seclusion, retire and return to my hometown!"

For Shaoping, the worst case scenario is that he will quit.

Anyway, he has already made enough, and those things have nothing to do with him.

This is simply perfect!

"you......you......"

The little emperor was so angry that he didn't know what to do.

He simply turned to look at Zhuge Jin:"Come here, go see Boning, how is the investigation going? Isn't he known as a ruthless official? Why hasn't the case been solved after so long!"

Zhang Xu responded, bowed and left.

There was a deadlock in the main hall.

It is clear!

The little emperor already believed Wang San's words.

Shaoping must be guilty of collaborating with the enemy, but there is currently a lack of the strongest evidence!

And this evidence can only be obtained through Man Chong! at the same time.

In the sky prison, Man Chong stared at Cui Heng, the chief minister, with a pair of sinister eyes.

This is the official position second only to the Great Sinong among the Great Sinong.

This person comes from the Cui family of Qinghe, and has a certain relationship with Situ Cui Lie back then.

"Cui Heng!"

"You should know that from Wang San, to Ma Liu, and then to Taicang Ling Zuoyi, I can punish you with this line alone, but I know that your Qinghe Cui family has always been loyal and loyal, and I think you will be the same this time. Bewitched!"

Cui Heng was very nervous and his eyes were erratic.

In the past, the name of the Cui family of Qinghe was a powerful weapon for him to dominate the officialdom.

But now, the name of the Cui family of Qinghe is like a burden, tying him up.

"ah~~~"

"ah~~~"

In the sky prison, there were miserable screams.

Right next door, prisoners were being tortured.

It seemed that he was not torturing the prisoner, but Cui Heng.

Although Cui Heng didn't suffer physically, he was really tortured in his heart, even very distressed.

What about being favored instead?

He just sat there calmly.

A pair of eyes in the darkness, like a falcon's poisonous snake, stared at the prey in front of him.

He rarely spoke, but every word he spoke was like stabbing Cui Heng in the heart!

In fact!

This is his negotiating skill.

He needs to judge what is the weakness in the other person's heart through the content of each sentence.

This kind of observation of micro-expressions is a handy skill for Man Chong, who handles criminal investigations.

When it comes to Qinghe Cui.

Man Chong clearly felt that Cui Heng's face twitched slightly.

This proves it!

The Cui family of Qinghe really hurt Cui Heng's psychology.

Man Chong immediately recalled everything about the Cui family in Qinghe in his mind. hard to imagine.

Cui Heng is just a collateral branch of the Cui family.

But this name can actually bring such a big shock.

So......

Man Chong exhaled a breath and continued:"Cui Heng, if I remember correctly, you should be a descendant of the Cui family in Qinghe. To be able to become the chief minister, I think I have helped you a lot by coming to the master's family!"

Cui Heng still didn't speak.

But Man Chong could clearly see that Cui Heng's eyes were even more erratic at this moment, and the corners of his lips twitched suddenly. He glanced at him seemingly casually, but when he met Man Chong's eyes, it was clear that he was full of cowardice and fear!

That's right!

This direction is right!

Although Man Chong didn't know how Cui Heng was worried about the Cui family in Qinghe.

But he knew that as long as he continued to attack this line, his psychological defense would collapse sooner or later!

"grown ups!"

I don't know when, a person appeared behind Man Chong.

It was Ding Mo.

Ding Mo lowered his voice and whispered a few words:"Gen Ju is investigating. Cui Heng is the second person in the Cui family of Qinghe after Cui Lie. Although it is a side branch, the main family strongly supports it and has high hopes for it."

Strong support?

Almost everyone who is an official understands this.

To put it bluntly, without the operation of the Cui family in Qinghe, Cui Heng would not be able to reach the position of Da Si Nongcheng.

Man Chong raised the corners of his lips slightly. , but only for a moment, then quietly fell.

He continued to stare at Cui Heng.

Cui Heng was even more frightened, and he felt extremely uneasy.

It was as if he had been caught by Man Chong.

But I didn't expect it.

Man Chong took a long breath, stood up slowly, walked around the long case, and turned to himself:"Cui Heng, it must be difficult for you to reach this point, right? Are you carrying so many things that you can't breathe?"

Man Chong's voice was very calm.

It was like talking to a friend.

He changed his previous offensive posture, but the psychological pressure on Cui Heng was even greater!

That's right!

He was burdened with too many things.

Because in In the eyes of his master, if his official position is not promoted within a year, he may lose his value.

He knows that without the name of Qinghe Cui, no matter how talented he is, he will not be able to climb higher.

That's right. Because of this.

He is like a clown, constantly climbing up, just to win the favor of his master.

His next goal is the position of Da Sinong.

As long as Shaoping leaves, there is no doubt that it will be him! only......

Something unexpected happened.

The case some time ago was actually reported.

And he was also implicated.

Shaoping is the mastermind behind this kind of thing. He knows this very well, but because the official level suppresses people, he must participate even if he doesn't want to participate. This is the darkness in officialdom.

It's like a huge vortex!

Even if you are a stream of clear water, as long as you enter this vortex, you will turn into darkness sooner or later.

"I personally admire Qinghe Cui’s family motto!"

Man Chong was talking, and gently put his hand on Cui Heng's shoulder.

But at this moment!

Cui Heng was like being struck by electricity, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged. The fear in his eyes was maximized.

"Cui Heng, don't worry, you are not the mastermind in this matter!"

"As long as you can change your mind, the reputation of the Qinghe Cui family will not be implicated. You can even spend a period of time in jail safely, and you can even be released early as long as you perform well enough!"

"When a person lives to this age, I think you should also be able to understand that if fame and wealth are fleeting, they will not be brought to you in life or taken away in death. A person's real wealth is brothers and sisters, a loving father and a filial son, a reunited family, and a healthy body. healthy!"

"Do you have a kid?

Man Chong tried to ask:"Imagine, if you are ruined because of this incident, what kind of life will your father, mother, and children have in the future?""

"Even if you don’t think about yourself!"

"Should we also consider it for the sake of our family?"

Speaking of this, for some unknown reason, Man Chong suddenly thought of his master Han Yi again:"You should know Han Sikong, he is a person who puts family first!"

"He once told us that anyone can change the court if they leave. Without you, they will quickly find a replacement. But without you, your family will completely collapse!"

"so! Man

Chong took a deep breath and exhaled slowly:"Cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. It is not actually telling us that the highest goal is to govern the country and bring peace to the world, but to cultivate one's self first, and then to bring peace to the family!""

"If a person can't even take care of his own family, how can he talk about governing the country and bringing peace to the world? I didn't understand before why Han Sikong asked us to bring all our families to Mount Tai and spend time with our families and children every month."

"But now I know!"

"Because Han Sikong knows that a person with a stable and harmonious family is reliable no matter what he does. Those who don't even care about their family will have big troubles sooner or later!"

At this moment!

Cui Heng couldn't bear it anymore.

Two lines of hot tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.

"Lord Mandarin, stop talking, I'll do it! Cui

Heng's eyes were filled with tears and he begged bitterly:"I just ask Lord Manchu to help me plead for His Majesty and reduce the punishment as much as possible. I want to go home and live a stable life with my family from now on."

Man Chong smiled calmly:"Don't worry, I will do my best!" Cui

Heng took a deep breath:"Master Manchu, ever since I followed the great Sinong Shaoping, I have been very worried. I am afraid that something will happen one day, so every time I resell food, I record it all.""

"Are there any accounts?"

Man Chong asked hurriedly

"Um!"

Cui Heng nodded.

Hiss.~~~

Man Chong couldn't help but gasp.

This time, it’s true. There are witnesses and physical evidence, and no one can stop it.

"where?"

"On the bookshelf on the left side of my bedroom, on the third floor, there is a sixth shelf. There is a hidden compartment inside, and it is placed in it!"

"Very good!"

Man Chong was overjoyed, and he called Ding Mo forward:"Ding Mo, get it quickly."

Ding Mo leaned over and cupped his hands and said,"No! Man

Chong took a deep breath:"Cui Heng, don't worry, I will truthfully report your surrender to Your Majesty!" Cui Heng burst into tears of gratitude:"

Thank you, Lord Mandarin!""
