Chapter 813 Divine Sword Unsheathed (Part 2)

. "Look, look, it's coming again!" Seeing that he was about to be angry again, Yang Yushu said helplessly: "Brother Gangfeng, if you leave such a big deal to us, you and I have a huge relationship on your shoulders, but you are on thin ice! Can't you listen to me?" "Sir, please tell me." Hai Rui stopped, and looked like he was waiting to listen.

"I only have one sentence, just click it and stop!" Yang Yushu said.

"What does it mean to stop when the time comes?" A trace of disapproval flashed in Hai Rui's eyes.

"What's wrong with this? This time, from Hu Zongxian's arrest, to his bizarre death, to someone who openly killed someone in the Ministry of Justice to silence him, it can be said that he is bizarre everywhere and every step is scary. But in fact, the people behind him are fighting, and the court officials basically know... Although so many people wrote letters to ask for strict investigation and cursed the shady, they were all bluffing and no one dared to go deeper! Why no one dared to say it out loud? Just throwing rats and jealous weapons!" Yang Yushu said bitterly: "We are the same. We can investigate strictly when it comes to 'rats', and we can't ask a word if it comes to 'rats', let alone check it!"

Hai Rui began to look at Yang Yushu with a strange look, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment. He said it after careful consideration or was he instructed by someone. A trace of diaphragm suddenly appeared in his heart, and this complexity appeared in his eyes.

Of course, Yang Yushu felt his expression, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Don't look at me with this kind of eyes. I have been in Dali Temple for more than ten years. Can you still not understand this matter?" He said, "Those criminals have the most dirty minds. In order to avoid crime, they will pull everything up. This will not be judged by the case. At that time, the problem will be transferred to you and me, and we will not be able to do it! So just stop it and be convicted enough. Don't ask too much or too deep!"

"Did the two elders think so?" Hai Rui stopped looking at him, and a faint sarcasm hung on the corner of his mouth.

"This..." Yang Yushu said in a little surprised: "I haven't seen him yet." But after a pause, the conversation changed: "But it's OK that they think so too."

"How could you predict it?" Hai Rui turned his head and stared at him tightly.

"I don't even see who they are..." Yang Yushu said lightly: "Brother Gangfeng, I said the last sentence is out of place. No matter how lively the fight is, there is a teacher on it, so we don't need to get involved."

Hai Rui looked at him quietly for a moment, and said, "Are you finished?"

"Ah, I'm done." Yang Yushu nodded and said.

"Let's go." Hai Rui walked forward.

"Then I'll talk for a long time," Yang Yushu quickly followed up and said, "Have you heard it?"

"Thank you for your teachings." Hai Rui stalked and said without stopping: "I have some reason, and I want to ask the adults to correct me. This case is only a few short sentences, but it is turbulent and unsightly. If it is written into a case file in the future, it will be piled up like a mountain!"

"That's true." Yang Yushu nodded and said, "So if you and I miss you, you will be doomed!"

"How dare you say which step is empty and which step is real?" Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "Since the gods are fighting, if you want us to go east, you must want us to go west. If you follow this side, you will offend there... You think it is a good idea to stop when you hit the ground, but there will always be gods who want to investigate deeply, and you will offend them, and you will not suffer the same." He paused: "Let's go further, such a big case must be famous in history! Eighty percent of it will be compiled into dramas, storytelling, and repeated legends. Do adults want to be regarded as a gourd official by future generations, and they will scold them: 'Whether it is really confused or fake, it is a fool'!"

Yang Yushu was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't want to look at Hai Rui with admiration. He always thought that this man with a stubborn and awesome temper had such deep thoughts. He suddenly felt admiration for him and asked softly: "How should you deal with it?"

"It's very simple," Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "According to the law, by conscience, speak justice! You are not afraid of your shadow slanting, so who dares to take advantage of us!"

"Haha..." Yang Yushu looked at his momentum and called timidly: "Brother Gangfeng..."

"Sir, don't say much!" Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "The emperor's edict is glorious, and he explicitly wants us to thoroughly investigate the case, give Hu Zongxian a fairness, give the people and officials a truth, and give me a bright world! I have decided, and no matter what, I must investigate it to the end! If you don't want to investigate, you can be considered sick. What do I do? Don't worry! I will take responsibility alone and will not implicate the adults!" After that, he shook his sleeves and walked forward with great strides.

Yang Yushu was stunned for a long time, his eyes wide open and looked at Hai Rui, his heartbeats getting faster and faster, and the feeling of breaking the formation when he smelled the drum, became stronger and stronger.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Hai Rui quickly entered the cabinet, he saw Yang Yushu following from behind. He smiled faintly and said, "Has he figured it out?"

"Whatever you do, I don't care. Don't worry about it!" Yang Yushu said angrily: "It's really a bad year. I'll have you as a partner!"

"Haha," Hai Rui knew that this was already Yang Yushu's limit, so he turned sideways and said, "Sir, please."

"Oh..." Yang Yushu lost his momentum and said, "Please, too."

When the two entered the cabinet, Si Zhilang came out to greet him and said that Mr. Zhang was already waiting for them.

In the officialdom, this was a grand meeting. Logically speaking, the imperial edict should be paid first in the lobby, and then Zhang Juzheng's name was reported to him and worshiped him with great gifts. However, the two were taken to Zhang Juzheng's room. After entering the door, they saw Zhang Juzheng wearing casual clothes, wearing casual clothes, sitting in front of the case with his hair tied up and reading the papers. According to regulations, the official clothes could not be visited by casual clothes, so the two had to stand in the middle of the room.

"I read the case file all night and didn't have time to change the official uniforms, so I don't need to be polite." Zhang Ge Lao slowly closed the case file and stood up slowly. He was very kind. He showed a graceful demeanor in every move and reached out and said, "You are not the first meeting, so there is no need to be polite, please sit down."

Yang Yushu and Hai Rui sat down on the chair by the window.

This is what Zhang Juzheng's clerk came up with a tea stool and served tea to the two adults.

Zhang Juzheng said to the clerk: "I have important matters with the two adults, so don't let anyone disturb you."

"Yes." The clerk retreated.

Zhang Juzheng did not reply to the desk, but sat down opposite the two and exchanged simple greetings with them.

In the officialdom, there is no meaningless action, every move has content. Zhang Juzheng did not put his official uniform and was not in the main hall, and sat with two subordinates Zhao Mu. This is a sign of treating him as a confidant... Yang Yushu was the same year as him, so of course there was no need to be artificial, so Zhang Juzheng did it deliberately, which was actually to Hai Rui alone.

Yang Yushu sighed in his heart: "I'm afraid it will be a waste of effort." Then he looked at Hai Rui. Hai Rui didn't show any expression at this time and sat straight there, as if he didn't notice anything.

Zhang Juzheng was also looking at Hai Rui. Although the two had met many times, this was the first time he had carefully looked at the famous Hai Qingtian. But he saw his eyebrows high and his nose was concave, which was a very majestic appearance. He sat there upright, neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhang Juzheng sighed in his heart and said first: "You both have received the imperial edict. The Hu Zongxian case will be tried tomorrow. Call you here today. First, represent the emperor and Yuan Weng, to cheer you up. Don't have any worries. Just investigate it to the end. The cabinet will be your strongest backing."

Both of them knew that this was just empty talk, and the drama was behind him, so they listened quietly to him and continued: "Secondly, we want to make some requests to you on behalf of the emperor and Yuanweng."

"Please speak with me, Master Ge." The two sat upright and listened to Zhang Juzheng's words.

"First, be fair; second, be comprehensive; third, be in-depth." Zhang Juzheng said in a straight voice: "The so-called fairness means that you must uphold a common mind. To determine a case is to determine a case, and do not be influenced by other things, nor do you mix anything else; as for comprehensiveness, the case situation this time is special, and the cause is some old cases a few years ago. If you want to investigate, you must investigate them clearly. Don't be afraid of trouble. We have time to dig out all the monsters and monsters hidden behind them. This is the third point, go deeper... Do you understand?"

Yang Yushu and Hai Rui were silent for a moment, and the former said in his heart: "It turns out that Hai Rui is right. Zhang Taiyue wants to use our hands to dig deeper. He won't let me pass the test easily because of the same year."

He was ecstatic, and then heard Hai Rui say, "There is something unknown to the lower official, please give me advice."

"Please speak." Zhang Juzheng was very caring.

"I wonder if these three requirements were proposed by the emperor or Yuan Weng?" Hai Rui asked.

"What are you asking about this?" Although Zhang Juzheng was unhappy, he still answered him: "So what if it was Yuan Weng who proposed it."

"Then the officials will not accept it all." Hai Rui said: "The imperial edict is to let the officials try the murder of Hu Zongxian, so the officials can only investigate after he was taken to Xia Town... The previous matter has nothing to do with his death. The officials are not allowed to be imperial edict and have no right to investigate."

Zhang Juzheng was furious. No one issued an order to you at the beginning. How dare you impeach the emperor? Why are you so timid now? You are angry, but his expression is quite relaxed. He said lightly: "What Yuan Weng means is that you need to investigate all these... Since you are here, I will show you something first." Then he picked up a file from the desk and handed it over.

Hai Rui took it and opened it and saw that it was a file of the Censorate's investigation into Hu Zongxian's forgery of imperial edicts. It recorded the detailed process, and it also included Hu Zongxian's handwritten letters and forged imperial edicts... Seeing these, Hai Rui's expression became solemn.

Zhang Juzheng kept staring at Hai Rui, and when he saw that he was indeed in a hurry, he felt much more relaxed... He wanted to use Hai Rui's eyes to be unable to rub the sand, which made him hate Hu Zongxian, thereby changing the direction of the case. So he didn't urge him, just sipped tea leisurely and waited for Hai Rui to finish reading the file.

After a meal, Hai Rui finally closed the file. Zhang Juzheng asked, "What do you think?"

Hai Rui said slowly: "The facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive. Even if Hu Zongxian is alive, there is no way to argue."

"Yes," Zhang Juzheng said happily: "Hai Shaoqing must dig deep from this aspect, and not let the case fall into the surface. He must dig out the deep-seated things."

"The ministers of the cabinet are not willing to agree with the meaning." Hai Rui shook his head and said, "The case of forging imperial edicts can be closed, so there is no need for the ministers to add to their own things... It's better to just go to the residence to report it to the public."

Zhang Juzheng was so angry that he was so angry that he would have to talk nonsense to you if he had posted the newspaper in the residence. The newspapers in the south and the Sangonghuai Forum in Beijing had already set their character for this matter... If you want to say that Hu Zongxian was connected with the Japanese, but where are the Japanese pirates now? If you want to say that Hu Zongxian rebelled, he honestly handed over power, was arrested, and was killed honestly. The crime of treason was not valid at all. It can only be said that it was a 'stop-of-power plan' at most, it would be a bit useless.

People like Hai Rui who regard "The Law of the Ming Dynasty" as the norm will definitely not accept this statement, so Zhang Juzheng really hopes that he can slap the table and investigate Hu Zongxian's bribery and corruption crimes... It depends on what face the silence has, and he plays the tragedy card with his "old brother" all day long.

However, what Zhang Juzheng never expected was that Hai Rui had grasped the words in the imperial edict and came up with the three no policies of "not denying, not caring, not involving, not involving", which made his abacus empty. He couldn't help but say angrily: "That's what you want to do to go all out on the world, do you also want to refuse this!"

"If you are not in your position, you will not do your own affairs." Hai Rui said word by word: "The lower-ranking officials are afraid that they will disappoint the cabinet master."

"Where are you, Lord Yang?" Zhang Juzheng then remembered that there was a presiding judge standing beside him.

"Oh, I..." Under Zhang Ju's knife-like eyes, Yang Yushu's face turned pale and he swallowed and spitted hard: "I think... what Hai Shaoqing said... makes sense!"

Hai Rui looked at Yang Yushu unexpectedly, and Zhang Juzheng was even more surprised. Today he was so surprised. First, Hai Rui knew that "doing something, not doing something"; then he never expected that Yang Yushu, who had always been like a good man, would also destroy the situation for himself.

"You, you..." Zhang Juzheng was so angry that he calmed down and said, "Since you two are so persistent, it's not easy to force yourself, so please take care of yourself." After saying that, he brought tea to see you off, and he didn't want to go down with them for a moment, which was very different from the wise and wise men just now.

Walking out of the cabinet and returning to Chang'an Street, Hai Rui bowed to Yang Yushu and said, "I just blamed you for your mistake. Hai Rui apologized to you."

"Forget it," Yang Yushu waved his hand and said, "I just don't want to be used as a gun." He said, "It's Brother Gangfeng that made me look at him with admiration, and I thought you didn't know what it means to be a sensation."

"I really don't know the right way." Hai Rui said lightly: "But I know that I have to consider the consequences when doing things. I don't do things that I can't help counting money when I'm sold."
