Chapter 281: Expose

Zhou Huaishan smiled.

"Look at what you said. We don't know each other, so what hatred can there be.

It's just that you raised the question and I raised a different opinion.

Are the censors so arrogant now?

Don't you allow others to raise different opinions?

Do you want to attack me personally just because I raise a different opinion?

Hate?

How did you say that?"

After saying that, Zhou Huaishan stared at Zheng Yushi's mouth with curiosity, as if he was really studying and thinking about how he said that.

The eunuch standing behind the emperor was holding back a laugh.

This is obviously Zhou Huaishan's personal attack on Zheng Yushi.

Zheng Yushi took a breath, but he couldn't argue with Zhou Huaishan, so he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have evidence and witnesses to prove that it was indeed Zhou Huaihai who gave Hu Weiyue a large gift, and Hu Weiyue accepted bribes to release people."

Hu Weiyue has a very good relationship with Zhou Huaishan.

Zhou Huaishan is also Shen Li's prospective father-in-law.

He just didn't believe that Shen Li could still keep staring at Zhou Yuan after bringing up Hu Weiyue.

After saying this, Censor Zheng straightened his back.

The next moment, Zhou Huaishan said, "Okay, then the question is, how much money did Zhou Huaihai give Hu Weiyue?"

"There is evidence to prove that it is 10,000 taels of silver."

"Okay, then the question is, where did Zhou Huaihai get the money from?"

After Zhou Huaishan finished speaking, his eyes looked straight at Censor Zheng.

Censor Zheng straightened his back and said in a loud voice, "At that time, Zhou Yuan was favored by Duan Kangbo and wanted to let him marry into Duan Kangbo's mansion. Everyone in Kyoto knew about this.

It was at that time that Duan Kangbo gave Zhou Huaihai a consolation fee.

After all, it is not easy to raise a son. It is difficult for Zhou Huaihai to accept that he did not marry a daughter-in-law but married into the family instead."

"How do you know that Duan Kangbo gave Zhou Huaihai a consolation fee?" Zhou Huaishan asked with a faint luster in his eyes, like an old fox.

Censor Zheng said, "I heard Duan Kangbo mention this."

"In other words, you have a good relationship with Duan Kangbo in private? I heard from Shen Li that Duan Kangbo is a die-hard follower of the Duke of Zhenguo. So, you are also a member of the Duke of Zhenguo's faction?"

Censor Zheng was shocked by Zhou Huaishan's words.

Party disputes have always existed, but no one has ever put this matter on the table, or even said it in front of His Majesty!

This Zhou Huaishan.

Is he mentally ill?

How come he said such a thing so loudly!

Zhou Huaishan glanced at Censor Zheng.

Hey!

Anyway, I'm not embarrassed!

I'm just an ordinary farmer, I don't know anything.

The emperor looked at Zhou Huaishan and Censor Zheng, and felt that he could win today.

Looking forward to it.

Zhou Qing

I seem to have found some loopholes in Censor Zheng's words.

After Zhou Huaishan finished speaking, Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said weakly, "Your Majesty, can I ask Censor Zheng a question?"

The emperor nodded.

Zhou Qing said, "The Censor said that you have evidence that Hu Weiyue accepted 10,000 taels of silver from Zhou Huaihai. When did you get this evidence?"

"I got it early this morning.

After I got it, I immediately went to the palace to ask Your Majesty to order the parade to stop."

Zhou Qing nodded, "Then can you tell me where this evidence came from? Is it reliable?"

Censor Zheng said to the emperor, "When Your Majesty wanted to re-employ Hu Weiyue, I and several other censors unanimously opposed it.

Hu Weiyue's character is worrying and he is not worthy of such a high position.

This I said that at that time, and I still think so now.

So, I began to secretly investigate Hu Weiyue at that time, but I didn't expect that I would find out about it.

As a prefect, he openly accepted bribes and released Zhou Huaihai, who framed students for tampering in the examination room. This is indeed a serious crime.

Now the demonstration in the Imperial College has Hu Weiyue participating.

I think that Hu Weiyue was so eager to get rid of Zhou Yuan to protect himself because he was afraid that the incident that day would be discovered. "

After Zheng Yushi finished speaking, the emperor looked at Zhou Qing and Zhou Huaishan expectantly.

Zhou Qing smiled, "So, can you tell me, who gave Hu Weiyue a gift when Zhou Huaihai was imprisoned?"

Zheng Yushi blurted out: "Of course it was Zhou Huaihai's father, Zhou Bingde!"

Of course it was Zhou Bingde.

For things like giving gifts, it must be men who come forward.

His family was divided, and Zhou Bingde was the only man left.

Zheng Yushi didn't even think about it.

Zhou Huaishan laughed out loud, "It seems that our censor is not that good. He wants to frame someone but doesn't investigate thoroughly.

It's easy for an official like you who doesn't go deep into the grassroots to capsize!

To ​​tell you the truth, when Zhou Huaihai was arrested, Zhou Bingde was crying, making a fuss and hanging himself at the door of my house!

How could he have time to give gifts."

Censor Zheng.

Zhou Huaishan looked at the expression of Censor Zheng who was speechless for a while, and laughed: "How about you make up another reason on the spot?

Anyway, the incident happened in Qingyang Village at that time, and everyone in the village knew about it.

I don't worry about not having witnesses."

After saying that, Zhou Huaishan winked at Censor Zheng.

Censor Zheng.

When he looked up, he met the emperor's gaze, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from his back.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It seems that the gift-giving matter is not as certain as Censor Zheng said.

Then can the censor tell me when Duan Kangbo gave Zhou Huaihai the appeasement fee?"

Due to the mistake just now, this time, Censor Zheng was much more cautious, "I don't know when it was given, I only know that Duan Kangbo gave it."

Zhou Qing turned around and bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this matter concerns the reputation of Lord Hu. Lord Hu has a deep relationship with my father. He has also taught at Huaishan Academy, and his reputation is closely related to Huaishan Academy.

I beg Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly."

The emperor turned around and ordered the eunuch chief, "You take the Dali Temple Minister to Duan Kangbo's mansion now, and ask Duan Kangbo about this matter clearly."

Censor Zheng's brain exploded.

What he said was what the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion told him before he came.

Duan Kangbo is still sick in bed!

He just woke up yesterday afternoon.

They haven't had time to communicate yet.

This.

But can he stop the emperor now?

Fear spread from the soles of his feet, and Censor Zheng couldn't stand for a while.

Zhou Huaishan stood beside Zheng Yushi at some point, nudged Zheng Yushi with his elbow, and said with a fake smile: "I see that you look a little guilty and scared."

Zheng Yushi.

"Instead of feeling guilty now and being exposed later, why not confess now?"

Zheng Yushi.

"Do you expect that the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion can save you? I think it is unlikely. In this kind of situation, you were sent out first. I think that in his eyes, you are just a pawn.

When a pawn is in trouble, the commander behind the scenes usually abandons it without any pity.

After all, you were sent out first, which shows that he didn't pay much attention to you.

You are not the only censor, and you are not irreplaceable.

On the contrary, Zhou Yuan, a small patrol guard of the Beijing Guard Camp, was able to make the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion save him with such a big fight.

Why is he so important?"
