Chapter 536: Crocodile

Xuan Qingwei, who had a direction and no restraints, was like a carriage going downhill with a heavy load, whoever stood in his way would die.

The Department of Major Cases of the Ministry of Criminal Justice has tried its best to slow down Xuan Qingwei's investigation, but they have too little information in their hands, and they don't know the direction of the other party's investigation, and their actions are like headless chickens, which are completely meaningless.

In fact, apart from those who have read the letter Qin Xiuyuan wrote to Qin Wenhe before his death, who would have thought that the focus of Xuan Qingwei's investigation is no longer the third wife of the Qin family, but the eldest daughter of the eldest son of the Qin family? Qin Yurou?

A few days passed, the civil official group felt that things were not going well, so they didn't care too much, and directly focused on the officials in the temple, launching a frenzied impeachment against Pang Ban who had nowhere to hide.

What about "killing innocent people indiscriminately", or "without the law", or "private use of public equipment". Anyway, as long as it is a crime that can lose his head, he doesn't want to throw money at Pang Ban.

As for Pang Ban, like a wooden stake, he stood motionless in the train and didn't make any excuses, or even paid any attention to it. The zhenqi on his body was restrained as before, and it seemed harmless to humans and animals. But no matter whether it was the officials who criticized him verbally or in writing, or the military officials who stood closer to him, or anyone in the Wanmin Palace, they would not find this half-haired and silent old man easy to bully.

When did you ever see a crocodile roar? It is in the water, on the shore, like a stone, but who dares to approach it?

"Your Majesty, Xuan Qingwei is now like a nail pierced into the bone, and an inch forward is the pulse of his heart. You must not tolerate it anymore! Your Majesty!"

"The minister risked his death to speak out, and was ready to be punished by the Xuanqing guards when he returned. It is not a pity for the minister to die, but why are the people of the world innocent? Please, Your Majesty, be the master of the common people!"

"Your Majesty, under the banner of His Majesty's pro-army, Xuan Qingwei has done all sorts of evil outside. It has reached the point where it is too difficult to write down. Just a quarrel with people, a small official who was in a hundred households at that time dared to take people to prison, and then brutally killed several people. How rampant is this? How crazy?! Please punish these rats and snakes so that the world can be brightened."

The remonstrances of the officials can be described as deafening, and every word is heartbreaking.

You kept accusing me of your crimes, and after you finished speaking, you knelt down and didn't get up, just waiting for the emperor to punish Xuan Qingwei. By the time the words were finished, dozens of people had already knelt on the ground. Among them, there are those who give advice, and some who give advice. The few people kneeling at the front were all bigwigs of the civil service group. The leader among them is Ye Lansheng, Prime Minister of the Left. And the other five Shangshu except the Ministry of War among the six.

This battle is not small. Although the people in the military profession didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, they were also shocked by the drama played by the civil servants.

what's the situation? Is it because you want to fight desperately by putting on such a battle all of a sudden?

Under normal circumstances, this kind of "kneeling petition" is brought out at the moment of desperate or lore. Now that there is no warning beforehand, is it a sudden attack?

This kind of situation is not something that can be fooled by pretending to be dead and being a wooden man. The emperor sitting high must not turn a blind eye. Now the entire hall can be heard quietly dropping needles.

"Pang Ban."

"The minister is here."

"What do you want to say about the impeachment of the ministers?" Yang Jian's voice was a little deeper than before. His face was also a little paler than before. Anyone can see that Yang Jian's physical condition is not right. But no one dared to talk too much. It's best to pretend to be confused about this kind of thing, unless the emperor takes the initiative to bring it up, otherwise anyone who asks whoever asks is "unpredictable" and will lose his head.

In addition, no matter where the emperor goes now, there is one more person by his side: the owner of Fenghong Villa, the master of the golden sword monk, Yang Xiusheng. Yang Xiusheng followed the emperor closely. At this moment, he was standing less than one foot beside the emperor.

When Pang Ban heard the emperor calling him, he came out of the line in a proper manner, bowing to answer.

But even if he came out, Pang Ban still didn't look at the civil servants who were kneeling on the ground. How can a group of people who like to scratch their mouths understand that everything is done and not said. It is completely old-fashioned to say things without evidence, relying on rumors and things outside the jurisdiction of the law. Pangban has experienced this kind of scene eight times if not ten times.

"Your Majesty, I have something to do."

"speak."

Pang Ban took out a rubbing letter from the storage bag in his arms, and handed it to the eunuch next to him, so that the emperor sitting tall would appear on it. At the same time, he opened his mouth and said: "This is a family letter that His Royal Highness Shou Wang found from Xuan Qingwei after he helped me trap the important criminal Qin Xiuyuan. The words on it are convincing. Although it is not empirical evidence, it is also a conspiracy that has been uncovered for a long time. A shameless conspiracy against Xuan Qingwei."

Pang Ban spoke briefly. It didn't mean to explain to everyone in the hall.

After reading the letter, the emperor put it away, and then asked: "There is a reason for the incident, but it also needs to be proved. Although Xuan Qingwei's responsibility can exceed the law, it must not be bitten indiscriminately, let alone act recklessly. Now the ministers are extremely dissatisfied with Xuan Qingwei, how do you explain it?"

Xuan Qingwei's power was not firmly established by Yang, as was the case with all previous emperors. Who dares to change easily? Now the emperor did not ask the crime directly, but asked how to "explain". This made the people kneeling down below feel a little thumping, secretly thinking that they would suffer. Curious about what was written in the letter that Pang Ban showed to the emperor, which meant to reverse the situation?

"Xuan Qingwei has always been responsible only to His Majesty in handling cases. If His Majesty thinks Xuan Qingwei is guilty, he is guilty, and His Majesty thinks Xuan Qingwei is innocent, then he is not guilty. Although Master Ye and others call Limin the common people and shout for the community of the world, these help the community. Xuan Qingwei has been doing his best to protect the common people, sacrificed thousands of people every year for this, and has never slack off. It is far more meaningful than shouting empty words."

After Pang Ban finished speaking, he bowed and cupped his hands, but he still didn't look at the people kneeling on the ground. Although he said few words, they were all harsh words. In other words, he almost pointed at these civil servants and scolded the word "hypocrisy".

"Well, you Pangban! You are so bloody!"

Many people were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that Pang Ban, who has always been scolding all the time, would have a day of sharp words. When he came back to his senses, his face immediately turned red with anger.

I rely on my mouth to make a salary to support my family, and you actually play with me in my professional field? Are you insulting my professional competence?

Can't bear it! So the kneeling officer immediately jumped up with his hands on his hips and started cursing, his eloquence was definitely much sharper than Pang Ban's few words. But people with discerning eyes know that the situation has turned to Pang Ban's side. Loud voice doesn't necessarily mean you have the upper hand.

They knelt down on the ground, and Prime Minister Zuo took the lead. If this face is not given, the emperor will not end well.

"Pang Ban, there are still five days until August. If you can't settle this case and give an explanation to the ministers within five days, then you will use your head to explain it. Do you understand?"
