Chapter 399: Cai Jing's Overture

Kong Duanyou naturally couldn't watch them die, and immediately said loudly:

"My people from the Kong family will never do such unfaithful things. If the official believes in the words of villains to frame the loyal and good, then the old minister is willing to ask for his own crime and resign from the position of Yan Shenggong!"

While speaking, Kong Duanyou knelt down for Song Huizong once.

This was not only his disguised surrender, but also a threat to Song Huizong.

Because everyone knows that governing the literati in the world is inseparable from "Yan Sheng Gong", otherwise the literati will be in chaos, and the world will be in chaos!

This is the fundamental reason why emperors of all dynasties tolerate the Kong family doing whatever they want in Shandong. As long as they are not disturbed by others, no one will, and they will not dare to punish the Kong family.

Song Huizong didn't dare to do it before, so he had been holding back his resentment in his stomach for many years. Today, the evidence is conclusive and the reason is substitute for the Confucian clan. How could he continue to be held hostage by Kong Duanyou!

He looked at Kong Duanyou coldly and said, "What are you anxious about Kong Qing's family? The two grandparents have not checked their confessions yet. Why did you expect to be framed? Could you predict in advance what those managers have done?"

"I……"

Kong Duanyou was stopped and faced with the strange gazes of everyone, he was both angry and embarrassed.

Seeing that Song Huizong was so polite, He Zhizhong and Cai Jing were so angry that after carefully reading the confession, they were more angry than Kong Duanyou. At the same time, they glared at Kong Duanfu and said:

"In order to retaliate against Jiang Chen, you actually incite the Confucian officials to conceal the autumn harvest and owed autumn grains, and even blame Jiang Chen?"

"You are so brave! Do you still have the country and country in your eyes?"

"We...we are wronged! We are framed!"

Kong Duancao, Cui Hao and others shouted, while glaring at the witnesses in charge of various families with murderous intentions:

"Say, what are the benefits of Jiang Chen? Why do you frame me like this?"

"Do you know what the crime is to frame the head of the family? Have you ever thought about the wife, children, and young people in the family?"

The anxious Kong Duancao and his men directly threatened him as the palace.

"Master, just admit it. Your personal letters were intercepted by the Jinyiwei.

In addition, several prefects from Qizhou and Xiangzhou who obeyed your orders to conceal the autumn harvest and owed autumn grain were also arrested by the Jinyiwei and the Imperial City Office. They will probably be taken to Bianjing soon..."

"If it weren't for the ironclad evidence and the debate was indisputable, how could we betray you?"

Several managers cried and shouted, and some even said faithfully: "Master, the young man was going to take the blame for you, but they didn't believe it. I saw that everyone else had been tricked, so... "

"What? The prefects of Qizhou and Xiangzhou were arrested?"

"How come this happens? Why don't we get any news?"

"It's over..."

This is over!

Kong Duancao, Cui Hao and Meng Changling's bodies became soft and their faces were full of despair. Kong Duanyou was also dumbfounded and looked at Jiang Chen incredibly.

Jiang Chen smiled: "Does Lord Kong still think they are loyal and kind people now? Do you still want to resign from the position of Yansheng Gong for them?"

Well--

Kong Duanyou was so embarrassed that he wanted to get into his crotch.

Song Huizong was so happy that he smiled and said, "I believe that Yan Shenggong was deceived by the traitor, not because he was sincerely coerced by me!

Come, please help Yansheng fairly!”

After saying that, Song Huizong directly winked at Wang Li.

Wang Li immediately smiled and stepped forward to help Kong Duanyou up.

"Old minister... The old minister has missed his attention. Thank you for your unsincerebralty!"

Kong Duanyou's face turned red with shame. After staring at Jiang Chen with resentment, he retreated in a dirt state. He couldn't bear to look at Kong Duancao and others again.

Seeing that Kong Duanyou had both admitted his defeat, Cai Jing and He Zhizhong lost their concerns, and at the same time, they bowed to Song Huizong and said:

"The official family, Kong Duancao, Cui Hao, Meng Changling and others, have colluded with the traitors for their own personal grudges, and created food shortages. Now the evidence of the crime is confirmed and should be severely punished according to law!"

They did not want to be hated by the Kong family, so they made the charges very vague and did not say that these people were treasonous.

But Song Huizong ignored this and waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, throw these traitors into the prison, confiscate their property, and interrogate them strictly!

It also informed all prefectures that anyone who conceals the autumn harvest will be willing to express his guilt and fail to make up for the compensation, I will give up the slightest retribution!

If there are still people who dare to turmoil the country and cholera and the court will be punished as per the rebellious!”

"Treat it according to the conspiracy?"

Kong Duancao, Cui Hao and Meng Changling's eyes were distracted and they were desperate!

They never expected that Jiang Chen would fail, but instead put themselves in!

All civil and military officials were frightened: "Oh my God! Are the Cui family and Meng family, which have been passed down for hundreds of years, going to fall like this?"

"Will the official family take advantage of the situation and try to clear the wings of the Kong family's relatives?"

This kind of speculation arose in everyone's hearts.

Wang Zhonglu and Cai Tao were even more frightened and their legs trembled. Although they did not betray the distilled liquor technology, they did not do less to connect with officials to hoard grain than the Kong family, which made them very uneasy.

Cai Jing thought more: This matter is too strange, it seems that everything has fallen into the plot of the little treacherous. Will the Cai family’s food hoarding matter also be under his surveillance, and will the official already know?

hiss--

Thinking of this, Cai Jing suddenly felt a sudden grip in his heart! He finally understood why Song Huizong looked at him abnormally in the past few days!

So he hurriedly remedy: "The officials and old ministers believe that if they want to completely stabilize the people's hearts and prevent people from turmoiling the country, they should also strictly order that those who have been authorized by the Royal Chamber of Commerce shall not brew distilled liquor privately for sale.

In addition, grain merchants in various places are not allowed to stock up on goods. Anyone who refuses to sell for limited sales will be strictly investigated!"

"Accurate! This matter is coordinated and arranged by Cai Xiang, and Jinyiwei and Liangchen assisted in handling it!"

Song Huizong agreed directly, but because Cai Tao was involved in the hoarding of grain, he handed over the execution rights to Yang Jian and Jiang Chen.

"Old minister obeys the order!"

Cai Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so that he could pick his son and his confidants out of the matter.

Of course, there must be a prerequisite, that is, Yang Jian and Jiang Chen are willing to give up their hands.

Therefore, he cooperated with He Zhizhong, Zheng Juzhong, Chen Cisheng and others to overthrow all the crimes for impeaching Jiang Chen.

Kong Duanyou couldn't accept this result. He fainted from depression as soon as he left the court.

Jiang Chen, Zhu Yinian, Gao Qiu and others were in a good mood, and they talked and laughed all the way and left the palace gate.

The Confucian students gathered at the gate of the palace, waiting for Jiang Chen to take action, and saw Jiang Chen showing up in front of him with a proud look on their faces, and were stunned in an instant!

Cui Yi shouted unacceptably: "Jiang Chen, why haven't you, a traitor who disrespects Confucianism and cholera in the world yet punished the law?"

"Well? Isn't this Cui Yi, the legitimate son of the traitor Cui Hao? Come on, take it down for me!"

Gao Qiu sneered and ordered to take the person directly.

"Why? What qualifications do you traitors in the court have to deal with me? Why do you insult your father as a traitor?"

Cui Yi jumped and scolded angrily.
