Seeing that the situation was not going well, Zhao Junsheng turned around and ran, shouting as he ran, "Mulan, listen to me..."
"I won't listen, I won't listen, stop for me, or I won't spare you!"
Zhao Junsheng hid in Tibet, Hua Mulan chased him for a whole hour, and he also fled in the palace for more than an hour.
"Huchi, Huchi, Huchi..." Zhao Junsheng stopped sweating profusely, bent over and put his hands on his knees, panting and said, "Don't...don't chase, why are you so aggressive? Fortunately, I have good physical strength, otherwise I would have died with such a running method!"
Hua Mulan was also out of breath, sitting on the ground without any image, pointing at Zhao Junsheng with a limp hand, "Your surname is Zhao, don't be poor with me, how can you be such a son-in-law? This kind of joke is made casually." ?"
At this time Wan Yutong came over, "Zhao Junsheng, this time I am firmly on Sister Mulan's side, you are making a big joke! The old lady is also a very old person, in case she is in a hurry What to do?"
Zhao Junsheng: "Huchi...huchi, I have a sense of propriety, just the old woman, don't scare her, she doesn't know how bad it is, but this time I offended her badly, I'm afraid she won't give it to her in the future. I don't have a good face."
Hua Mulan snorted coldly: "It's good to know!"
Zhao Junsheng caught his breath, stood up and said, "Okay, I haven't had lunch yet, let's go!"
Hua Mulan got up and said loudly: "I'd better live in Yongxiang, it's comfortable there!" After speaking, she took a big step and walked towards Yongxiang.
Zhao Junsheng quickly chased after Hua Mulan and said with a smile, "I'm just joking, don't be so serious!"
"Stop smiling with me, I'm a serious person, don't you know?"
Zhao Junsheng still had a smiling face, "Don't be like this, people say that couples fight at the beginning and make peace at the end, we don't need to do that for such a small matter, right? Seriously, I'm really hungry!"
Hua Mulan said coldly: "It doesn't matter to me if you are hungry? I live in my Yongxiang, and you go to eat your food, it has nothing to do with it!"
"It's almost enough, don't keep holding on to this problem! Tell yourself, who is justified and who is rude in this matter?"
Hua Mulan pretended not to hear and continued walking forward.
Zhao Junsheng followed a few more steps, then suddenly turned around and said, "Okay, if you want to live there, you can live there, even if Yongxiang is destroyed! Kang Yide, where did you die, go and call the imperial dining room to prepare Delicacies from mountains and seas, fine wine and delicacies, I want to eat and drink all kinds of things today!"
When Hua Mulan heard this, she turned a corner and walked back, "Why do you let me live in Yongxiang? I can't be partial. Why do you eat delicacies from mountains and seas and let me eat bran-swallowed vegetables? Kang Yide, prepare a double serving." , No, three servings, Yutong hasn't eaten yet!"
Wan Yutong couldn't help laughing out loud: "giggle..."
Kang Yide was stunned, and agreed: "No!"
The case of Yuan Gao, Zou Ruhai, and Pan Changan had been investigated for more than half a month, and Zhao Ping and the people from the Huangcheng Division finally investigated the case based on the names and events written in the impeachment memorial.
This morning, Zhao Ping went to the palace to report the progress of the case investigation to Zhao Junsheng.
"My son sees my father!"
Zhao Junsheng put down his ink pen, "How is the investigation of the case you were asked to investigate?"
Zhao Pingdao: "Father, I heard that you had a quarrel with the queen mother, and the grandmother was so angry that she passed out?"
Zhao Junsheng knocked on the table: "It's best for you juniors not to worry about the matters between the elders, let alone intervene! Talk about the case!"
"promise!"
After Zhao Ping agreed, he immediately said: "According to the investigations of Erchen and colleagues of the Imperial City Division, most of the facts in the impeachment memorial are true, and only a very small number still need to send people to Xingyang, Hanoi, Qinghe and other counties. Verify! Those people mentioned in the memorial have confessed the truth after being interrogated, which basically verifies the authenticity of the content of the impeachment!"
Zhao Junsheng's complexion was not very good, even though he already knew this fact, he thought for a while, and ordered: "At the court meeting tomorrow, I will ask you to announce the results of the investigation to the courtiers, you must be prepared!"
"My son knows!"
The court meeting the next day.
After Zhao Junsheng inquired about the handling of government affairs by various ministries, he asked Zhao Ping about the investigation of Yuan Gao, Pan Changan, Cui Ruhai and others.
Zhao Ping truthfully told the results of the investigation. When the ministers heard Zhao Ping say that the results of the investigation basically confirmed the authenticity of the content stated in the impeachment memorial, it was like a few drops of water dripping into the oil pan, and the court exploded in an instant. , There was an uproar.
Eunuch Yuan Huan shouted: "Quiet—"
The ministers stopped talking and clamoring one after another.
Zhao Junsheng solemnly decreed: "Decree, put Yuan Gao, Pan Changan, Zou Ruhai and related criminals in prison for further trial until all the details of the case are found out! Never wrong a good official, but never Spare a prisoner!"
"Observe the order!" A eunuch agreed and quickly left the hall.
After the court meeting, Zhao Junsheng did not stay, and took some people directly to the prison.
Chapter 964
"Your Majesty is here—" the eunuch shouted in front of the heavily guarded prison, and the soldiers on guard knelt on the ground leaning on their spears.
A thin official walked quickly out of the gate of the prison, holding the hem of his official robe, knelt down on his knees and shouted, "Welcome to Your Majesty, Warden Fang Wen!"
After Zhao Jun gave birth to his horse, he walked up to Fang Wen and raised his hand, "Pingshen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Junsheng said, "Take me to meet Yuan Gao, Pan Chang'an, and Zou Ruhai!"
"Your Majesty, please come with me!"
Under the guidance of the warden Fang Wen, Zhao Junsheng and a group of imperial guards walked into the dungeon.
The Heavenly Prison was built only last year. The part of the prison inside it is in a dark and humid environment because there is no sunlight all year round. Apart from being dark and humid, it is still clean. The prisoners locked here are either royal relatives or high-ranking officials. The dignitaries, not an ordinary person.
Compared with the harsh environment where the former sky prison was renamed the dungeon, this place is still good.
Zhao Junsheng said as he walked, "Go see Zou Ruhai first!"
"promise!"
When they arrived at the cell where Zou Ruhai was being held, Fang Wen asked the guard to open the door. The guard used the key to unlock the chain on the door, pushed the door open and walked in, shouting, "Prisoner Zou Ruhai, get up!"
Zou Ruhai opened his eyes, and a man wearing a purple robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a golden crown on his head walked in. His eyes widened immediately, and after he realized it, he got up and crawled on the ground with his hands and feet together. Several meters away, he knelt in front of Zhao Junsheng.
"Criminal Minister Zou Ruhai has met His Majesty, all blessings, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Junsheng observed the situation in the cell with his hands behind his back. Apart from being dark and damp, it made people feel cold. If he stayed here for a long time, he might easily get sick, and Zou Ruhai has been locked here for almost half a year.
Zhao Junsheng said, "Zou Ruhai, get up and raise your head!"
"Nuo, Nuo!" Zou Ruhai got up tremblingly. Although he stood up, he seemed to be cowering.
At this moment, Zhao Junsheng saw that Zou Ruhai was so thin and haggard that only his skeleton was left. He knew that the food in the prison was not bad, but for a high-ranking official like Zou Ruhai to fall to this stage, it was a far cry from the situation he was in before. A hell, it must be unable to eat or sleep every day, the torment is the most tormenting, it is not surprising that Zou Ruhai has become the ghost he is now.
Zhao Junsheng said, "Zou Ruhai, the case between you and Yuan Gao and Pan Chang'an has been clarified. If you just do nothing and wait for death in the position of Minister of Criminal Justice, that's fine. But what you did and what you did at the beginning Ambitious and high-spirited are simply the opposite! Tell me, what made you like this?"
Zou Ruhai knelt on the ground again with a plop, weeping bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I have committed a crime, and I deserve death. I have failed Your Majesty's high expectations. Even animals know how to be grateful. I am not even as good as animals!"
Zhao Junsheng waved his hand, "Don't say these things are useless!"
