The lobby instantly became quiet, and everyone knew that things were embarrassing because it was difficult to handle down below.

During the interrogation in Dongchang, the evidence was conclusive, and Liu Guojin and Yao Zongwen also confessed.

But when they arrived at the lobby of the Third Justice Department, they all recanted their confessions. What should they do? Continue the interrogation?

Then it is estimated that the remaining people will have to retract their confessions.

And then close the case? Come to the conclusion that Wei Zhongxian framed the prosecutor? Then what will His Majesty think?

Not to mention other things, everyone who is trying the case this time will suffer.

Your Majesty will think that you are deceiving the emperor, and will even suspect that you people have collusion with Liu Guojin and Yao Zongwen. Even if there is no collusion, at least you are incompetent and can't even understand a single case.

Jiang Xu, the young minister of Dali Temple, already looked helpless. Who did he provoke?

Whether it was Liu Guojin, Yao Zongwen and others who framed Xiong Tingbi, or whether it was Wei Zhongxian who framed Liu Guojin and Yao Zongwen, he didn't care and didn't care. But now that it was like this, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to afford it and walked away.

Yang Lian was also furious at this time, and he tried his best to suppress his anger. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he knew that this time he had miscalculated, and so had the Donglin Party members.

From the perspective of the Donglin Party members, this matter is very simple. You just admit the charges and then dismiss them from office. Let Li Ruzhen shoulder the biggest charge, and he just sat back and watched Tieling fall. Such a person will directly

It's all about beheading to death. Hello, me, everyone, this matter can be eliminated to the greatest extent.

But now it seems that it is simply impossible. These people actually did not plead guilty and all retracted their confessions. What should we do?

Yang Lian really wanted to hang these people up and whip them!

Torture is not allowed! Dongchang can torture without restraint, but if he tortures himself, will his reputation be lost?

Not only can't you use torture, but you also have to be polite. What should I do? Thinking of this, Yang Lian was shocked and said directly: "Liu Guojin and Yao Zongwen retracted their confessions. This case needs to be re-investigated thoroughly. That's it for today, withdraw from the court."

.”

After saying this, Yang Lian stood up and walked out, obviously not wanting to stay here for a moment.

Wei Zhongxian looked at Yang Lian's back and immediately smiled. Shi Shiran stood up and said with a smile: "Is it over now? It's really neat and tidy. We can't delay and we have to go to the palace immediately to report to His Majesty."

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao looked at what he had made with an expressionless face, and nodded with satisfaction. Let's not talk about other things, just the knife skills inherited from Emperor Tianqi, there is really nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian is here." Chen Hong came to Zhu Youxiao's side and said softly.

"Let him come in!" Zhu Youxiao nodded.

After a while, Wei Zhongxian came in from the outside, saluted Zhu Youxiao respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty, the interrogation at the Sanfa Department is over. Liu Guojin and Yao Zongwen have turned over the confession. They said that the slaves set up the trap."

They and their signatures were not provided by themselves, they were all signed with their own hands after the officials in the prison in the East Factory knocked them unconscious."

Wei Zhongxian did not hide the slightest, and directly told Zhu Youxiao the whole incident. The expression on his face did not change at all, and was extremely calm, as if what he was talking about was not his own business.

Hearing what Wei Zhongxian said, Zhu Youxiao didn't look angry at all on his face.

Glancing at Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Let them go! Just go over and listen when they go to court. You did a good job. I'm curious about how you got them to retract their confession. Tell me about it."

"

Yes, that's right, Wei Zhongxian was the one who retracted the confessions of Liu Guojin and others. Of course, it was Zhu Youxiao who was the instigator behind the scenes.

"Back to the emperor, it's easy to say. The slave told them that as long as they are willing to retract their confessions about this matter, the slave can save their lives, and it is not impossible to even make a comeback in the future. The night before Sanfa Sitiren

, the slave girl told them that if any of them dare not agree, the slave girl will let them die quietly of illness in the prison of Dongchang that night."

"Even if they go out and don't recant their confessions and are found guilty, although I can't let them be sentenced to death, I can still let them go to Liaodong and be sent to the army."

"Liaodong is Xiong Tingbi's territory now. They have to think about the consequences of going to Liaodong, so they all agreed to be slaves."

Zhu Youxiao laughed again after hearing Wei Zhongxian's words. He couldn't help laughing. He recovered after a while and asked again: "What about Li Ruzhen?"

"The slave told Li Ruzhen that as long as he is willing to pay filial piety to the slave every year, the slave will keep him alive and even restore him to his original position. If he doesn't listen to the slave, even if he can get through this time, the matter in Liaodong is not over yet. He

He still has to go to jail and face death, so I will find a way to convict him of the death penalty." After Wei Zhongxian said this, he plopped down on the ground and grabbed the ground with his head: "My crime deserves death."

Zhu Youxiao knew why Wei Zhongxian said that. The reason was very simple, that is, because he used the emperor's name to make the argument.

How could Wei Zhongxian do the things he said on his own? Shouldn't he use the emperor to deceive Yao Zongwen and others?

But Zhu Youxiao doesn't care about this at all. If you want others to do things for you, why can't you just let others talk about you?

He waved his hand and motioned for Wei Zhongxian to stand up.

After Wei Zhongxian stood up, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "That's it for this matter. You can go and observe when they go to the hall."

"My slave understands." Wei Zhongxian agreed. Seeing Zhu Youxiao no longer looking at him, he bowed and said, "If your Majesty has no other instructions, then this slave will leave."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, and Wei Zhongxian withdrew.

When Wei Zhongxian left, Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Chen Hong and ordered: "Let people clean up Xiyuan, and then find some craftsmen. If they are good craftsmen, they can do whatever they want, and then send them all to Xiyuan."

Go to the garden. Just say that I want to build a Baigongyuan. The reason is that I have not made much progress in my craftsmanship recently and I want to communicate with these craftsmen."

If you want to recruit craftsmen for research, it is impossible to take the right path. There may be many people who will advise you and cause you stumbling blocks.

The simplest way is to follow the path of the faint king. What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom.

When your Baigongyuan is built, find a few good craftsmen and reward those who recommend them. At that time, officials across the country will recruit good craftsmen for themselves.

This is much faster than searching for it yourself. Just like Emperor Jiajing refining elixir, how many people collected good materials for him.

This is the same as Zhu Youxiao's method of collecting craftsmen, but the purpose of both parties is different. Of course, in this way, his reputation will become bad again, and he will rush towards the road of being a fool.

But Zhu Youxiao doesn't care. It's not easy to be a wise king these days, because the referees are scholars, and you have to follow their rules.

But can we follow their rules?
