    There are always two souls of justice and evil hidden in everyone's body. There are no completely good people or completely bad people in the world. The sun shines on everyone fairly, with both shine and shadow.

    For example, Yang Tinghe.

    "If Yang Tinghe's image was expressed in comics at this moment, the little angel deep in his heart might have been stabbed to death by the little devil with sharp horns, so the darkness prevailed and he threw a stone into the well unethically.

    "You will know if you have accepted a bribe from Prince Ning. There is no paper in the world that can cover fire, and there is no evil that can defeat good. The things that the Jin Yiwei searched from the secret room of Prince Ning's mansion must not be fake." Yang Tinghe looked righteous.  , The beard under the chin is clear and automatic, and the whole person is shining like a lamp in the sea of ??suffering, a typical image of a decent character.

    The cabinet bachelor spoke, and the weight was very different. Yang Ting and Chenghua became officials in the 14th year, and went through the Xianzong, Xiaozong, and Zhengde dynasties. From a Hanlin editor all the way to the cabinet bachelor, I don¡¯t know how many disciples and old officials there are in the court.  , even today¡¯s emperor Zhu Houzhao is his student. Who dares to take Yang Tinghe¡¯s words seriously?

    Zhu Houzhao's expression became even colder. He stared at Feng Yuan's expressionless face and nodded: "Mr. Yang is right. Whether Feng Yuan is loyal or traitorous, and whether he has liaison with the feudal lord or not, there is no need to argue. Let's check it out."  You know, the warrior in front of the palace has conveyed my decree and ordered Jin Yiwei, Dongchang, the Ministry of Punishment and the officers of Dali Temple to search Feng Yuan's house now"

    The warrior outside the palace responded solemnly, turned around and left.

    Hearing this, Feng Yuan's face quickly turned a layer of blue-grey, like a dead person lying in a coffin. His body was swinging uncontrollably and was about to fall. He couldn't protect himself at this moment, so he couldn't even bother to impeach Qin Kan.  After a while, he finally couldn't bear the huge pressure, and his body went limp, lying on the ground like a puddle of mud.

    Seeing Feng Yuan's reaction, the officials in the palace immediately knew that the list sent by Qin Kan was true, and Feng Yuan was definitely not clean.  And his fate was also determined. The whole family was taken to Caishikou and beheaded in public. The punishment was inevitable.

    Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, is considered the most ridiculous and fatuous emperor among all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. But even the fatuous emperor has his own moments of truth, and that is his own imperial power. This is not only an emperor's desire for power, but also the country that his ancestors have worked so hard to build.  .  Generations have spent countless efforts to govern the world, and it is related to the imperial power. Zhu Houzhao can't rub it in his eyes. There is no suspense about such things as conspiracy and rebellion against the vassal king, and the whole family will be executed.

    Zhu Houzhao stared at Feng Yuan coldly and said: "Feng Yuan. If the factory guards and the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice do not find evidence of crime from your home, it means that I have wronged you, and I will apologize to you in front of all the civil and military officials of the court."  On the contrary, you should be clear about the sin of collaborating to rebel against the feudal king."

    Feng Yuan's face was pale and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I am framed"

    Before he finished speaking, he could no longer bear the huge psychological fear. He rolled his eyes and fainted in front of Manchao Wenwu.

    Zhu Houzhao sneered and said: "He is indeed a loyal minister, but it's a pity that this loyal minister is a little too fragile. Someone will carry Feng Yuan out and keep him under strict guard with the warriors in front of the palace."

    The pale-faced Feng Yuan was dragged out by the warriors, and silence returned to the palace again.

    The results of the factory security search are no longer important.  Looking at Feng Yuan's performance, it is almost impossible to escape the relationship.

    He died before the attack was launched, and the long-gestating offensive was easily wiped out by Qin Kan's roster before it even started.

    The civil officials who were about to make a move were shocked, even though there were many people who had no qualms with Prince Ning.  At this moment, they were standing in the palace without saying a word, looking shocked and confused. They didn't know how many trump cards this guy Qin Kan had yet to use, so they had no choice but to take action.

    It was clear that the whole court should have used all its strength to launch a sharp and fatal blow against the traitor, but from the beginning of the court meeting to the present, the momentum of the civil servants had unknowingly weakened a lot, and the offensive had involuntarily turned into a defensive. In most people's hearts,  I just pray silently, hoping that Qin Kan will do some good today and not hurt them too much

    The ministers in the palace each had their own thoughts. Zhu Houzhao looked around coldly and said: "After the dynasty, Jinyiwei and Dongchang took people according to the roster. It is not in vain, and we must check the real evidence"

    After a pause, Zhu Houzhao continued: "We, the Ming Dynasty, rule the world with loyalty and filial piety. You are all scholar-bureaucrats who rule the world with me. Some of you are serving as officials here and eating the king's salary, and at the same time, you are making money with Prince Ning.  You have taken advantage of me and taken advantage of all the good things in the world, but where did you put your loyalty and filial piety?"

    The words made all the ministers in the palace break into cold sweats. Although they did not yell or criticize, everyone felt ashamed, which was even worse than pointing their own noses and scolding their mother.

    A list of names severely suppressed the momentum of the ministers. Zhu Houzhao felt much more relaxed now. He sat on the dragon chair again and said calmly: "This matter will remain as it is."Handle it, let's not mention it. Do you have anything else to report?  "

    As soon as he finished speaking, the familiar voice came out again that made the fragile hearts of the ministers twitch.

    "My lord, I have something else to report."

    The faces of the ministers became increasingly ugly, but they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Qin Kan, who was standing quietly in the hall.

    Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Ning Guogong is really worried about state affairs today. If you have anything to do, feel free to report it."

    Facing the worried or fearful looks of the civil servants, Qin Kan once again put his hand into his sleeve and dug around. He took out a blue-cover memorial book and held it in both hands above his head.

    "My Jinyiwei spies have been conducting investigations for several months, and now they have found out that there are as many as a hundred merchants from Zhejiang, Fujian, and Nanzhili provinces who secretly built ships and went to sea to trade with the vassal state. Most of them colluded with the local government offices and the local coastal defense stations to share the profits with each other.  In order to make money, these merchants often sailed in dozens of merchant ships, carrying silk, tea, and fine porcelain. When they returned, they carried Korean ginseng, jade porcelain, Japanese tortoiseshell, armor, Japanese swords, silver ore, etc., back and forth once.  Their profits amounted to millions, such as Yu Sheng'en, a businessman from Taizhou Prefecture in Zhejiang Province, Wei Yinglong, a businessman from Xinghua Prefecture in Fujian Province, and Zhou Chuansi, a businessman from Huai'an Prefecture in Nanzhili Province, etc. They all bribed the local magistrates and military commanders with huge profits, turning the government into a businessman's wing.  To protect him, Jin Yiwei has now found out the case, and all those involved in the case have been arrested in Beijing. The merchants who were arrested confessed to their crimes, and what's more"

    Qin Kan paused for a moment, glanced at the ministers in the palace casually, and then said: "What's more, the merchants confessed that there were also ministers in the capital involved in the case, and their backers, the Jin Yiwei were following the clues and doing their best.  Investigate. Here are the minutes of the investigation by the Jinyi Guards and the confessions of the merchants who were taken away. I present them to His Majesty in front of the steps and ask His Majesty to make a decision."

    The faces of many people in the palace became increasingly ugly. Qin's offensive was really one after another. He first used Prince Ning's bribery to gain momentum and blocked everyone's mouths. Then he captured the coastal merchants and caused everyone to fall into disarray. This time  The move was particularly vicious. Although the merchants along the coast were of low status, they were the main foundation for many ministers to amass money. Qin Kan was so silent that he sent his guards to kill them all. This move not only cut off everyone's foundation, but also destroyed their foundation.  Many ministers are in danger. You must know that they have a lot of shameful things, and the businessmen who were taken away know it very well.

    Cao Yuanru, who was in the class, was struck by thunder, and his fat old face suddenly turned pale. He raised his fair and shiny hand, pointed at Qin Kan and blurted out: "You are talking nonsense! You are simply an evil person"

    Before he finished speaking, Cao Yuan stopped speaking very sensibly, and his face became more and more regretful.

    It is undeniable that Qin Kan was the first to complain. Dozens of ships were built in Tianjin Donggang and set sail at any time. He actually had the nerve to accuse others of going to sea for profit. Although the civil servants were well-informed, he and others were used to it.  There is no lower limit to moral integrity, but at this moment everyone has clearly refreshed their understanding of the lower limit of moral integrity.

    There is no lower limit, but the case discovered by Jinyiwei is real, and the two do not conflict.

    As soon as Cao Yuan's words came out of his mouth, he didn't dare to say any more. He realized that these words could not be said. Qin Kan, this evil beast, had many tricks waiting for him. If he conflicts with him in this golden palace, what will happen to him and Cao Yuan?  Probably not much better than Feng Yuan.

    Cao Yuan, who had experienced many storms, quickly controlled his anger, took a deep breath, and closed his mouth with a livid face, but his small eyes stared at Qin Kan, with fear flashing in his eyes from time to time, and even a hint of despair.  , he had a hunch that Qin Kan would probably not let him go during today's meeting.

    The minutes of the arrest and the businessman¡¯s confession were quickly delivered to Zhu Houzhao by the eunuch on duty. Zhu Houzhao flipped through a few pages, but his expression became increasingly angry.

    "Haha, good, very good! I didn't expect that my country would have so many loyal ministers and good generals and good people. I am really honored!"

    The smileless laughter made the ministers feel trembling, but their expressions became more and more frightened.

    A few years ago, a group of ministers publicly participated in the impeachment of Qin Kan because of his private shipbuilding. The cabinet received thousands of memorials. Everyone pretended to be selfless and worried about the country, and they criticized Qin Kan with words and writings, and they wanted to put him aside.  To death.  However, less than half a month later, Jin Yiwei dug up such a shady story. It turned out to be a farce of a thief shouting to catch the thief.

    The hall was as quiet as a ghostland. Regardless of whether they were involved in colluding with maritime merchants to make profits, all the civil servants felt burning pain on their faces. This slap hurt everyone.

    "You say in front of me every day that you cannot violate the ancestral system. I want to see who is violating the ancestral system. How thick-skinned is it to support you saying one thing and doing the other behind the other?  Immediately go to Beijing for a rigorous investigation and get to the bottom of it! All persons involved in the case, regardless of their high position, will be brought to Beijing for rigorous interrogation!"

    The ministers knelt down in fear: "Your Majesty, please calm down"

    In the frightened and uneasy atmosphere, it is still that familiar voice that brings manyPeople's emotions are pushed to the abyss.

    "My lord, Qin Kan, I have something else to report!"

    Zhu Houzhao shook his sleeves fiercely: "Come on!"

    "Last winter, there were thieves who were assassins in the busy city. Factory guards tracked them down for many days and finally captured two assassins alive. These two people were from Wen'an County, North Zhili. They were once horse thieves under the command of the Liu brothers, the thieves in the North.  The two confessed that the assassination was due to someone instigating it, and the instigator was a colleague in the court. The confessions of the two assassins are here. Please read it and make a decision."

    Plop!

    In the courtroom, the pale-faced Cao Yuan fell softly to the ground, like a puddle of mud.
