Fortunate Young Gentleman

Ruyi Xiaolangjun Text Volume 325 Chapter 325 Different The investigation in the Ministry of Justice was much smoother than Tang Ning had imagined. The case was not complicated, which was partly because the case was not complicated. Another important reason was that both the summoning of witnesses and the collection of evidence were very smooth, with almost no mistakes and no obstacles.

It was as if someone had arranged everything and handed it to him every time he needed it.

If there were more good people like this in the capital, the efficiency of solving cases in the Ministry of Justice could be improved by several levels.

With both human and material evidence, it didn't make much difference whether the criminal pleaded guilty or not. As the head of the Ministry of Justice, Tang Ning only needed to report the investigation results truthfully, and he would have nothing to do.

It took Tang Ning only more than two days to close all the cases of more than a dozen cases.

Although he didn't know how Emperor Chen would deal with those dignitaries, as the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, he didn't redress the grievances of the people, but instead protected the criminals. It was definitely not as simple as a salary deduction.

Tang Ning sighed a little. He thought he could spend the last ten days in the Ministry of Justice in peace, but in the end, he still couldn't get rid of the hat of being a jinx to his superiors.

The higher-ups dealt with these people a little faster than he expected.

Xu Cheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, took advantage of his position to shield the criminal. He was immediately removed from the position of assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice and was awaiting investigation.

Han Dong, the left secretary, was also removed from the position of left secretary, although the degree of shielding was less than Xu Cheng. Although he was not out of office, he was inevitably demoted.

Jingbian Hou was stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner, becoming the second dignitary to be directly stripped of his title in the past year.

Yanping Hou Yongchuan Bo and others were not good at educating their children. Even if they were not stripped of their titles, they were fined a large sum of money to compensate the victims. In addition, the sons of Yanping Hou and others were also sentenced to exile and could not enter Beijing in this life.

The rich and powerful are still rich and powerful. Unless they are plotting treason or committing some serious crime beyond the tolerance limit of the court, they will not lose their lives.

But for these dandies who have been living a life of luxury since childhood, abandoning their comfortable lives and being exiled is, to some extent, more painful than death.

The losses and influences suffered by many rich and powerful people involved in the case are far greater than what can be seen on the surface. The families that were originally expected to continue their glory may decline rapidly in the next few years after this incident.

Prince Kang's Mansion.

Your Majesty punished the rich and powerful in the capital, and Prince Kang was not directly affected, but at this moment, Prince Kang's Mansion was full of gloom.

All these officials and dignitaries have close ties with King Kang. So far, they have lost a Zuo Si Langzhong and a Xingbu Shilang who just defected, not to mention the dignitaries who have been weakened.

This is just the visible and tangible. King Kang's reputation in the court and the hearts of the dignitaries have suffered a huge blow after this incident.

The advantages established in the struggle with Prince Duan over the past year were lost in one day.

In the meeting room, King Kang has been silent for half an hour since he received the news from the palace. The people around him also said nothing, for fear of disturbing King Kang, who fell from the peak to the bottom of the valley overnight, and being innocently angered.

"Your Highness, the court is like a battlefield, victory and defeat are common, and you must not be discouraged." The first person to break the silence was a middle-aged man.

Someone said, "Yes, Your Highness, we still have some advantages over Prince Duan. Your Highness must not be depressed."

Prince Kang clenched his fist with one hand, slammed it heavily on the table, and gritted his teeth and said, "I am not willing to accept this!"

The fist slammed on the table, making a dull sound, and everyone's hearts tightened.

Not only was Prince Kang unwilling, but even they were unwilling.

It was not easy to leave Prince Duan far behind on the road to succession, and they were only half a step away from the position of the East Palace. How could they be willing to watch their side retreat to the same position as Prince Duan?

Since then, Prince Kang's reputation in the court has greatly declined, and he has also lost the hearts of many powerful people. Although His Majesty did not directly target Prince Kang, each of these severe punishments was almost cutting his wings.

Someone thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty asked the Ministry of Justice to take charge of this case, but Lord Tang showed no mercy at all and did not send anyone to inform Your Highness."

The middle-aged man surnamed Xu shook his head and said, "This case was ordered by His Majesty himself and supervised by the Censorate. Lord Tang can only handle it impartially. If he even shields him, not only will he be in danger, but Your Highness may also be implicated. Lord Tang did the right thing in this matter."

The man argued, "Even if he can't shield him, can't his men show some mercy? It's still unknown whether this person is of the same mind as us."

Although King Kang didn't speak, his brows slightly frowned.

The middle-aged man surnamed Xu looked at King Kang, sighed in his heart, but didn't say anything else.

In the palace, Emperor Chen put down the memorial of the Ministry of Justice, walked into the hall with his hands behind his back, and said: "One Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, one Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, I and the court officials are busy governing the world, but these two are busy eating away the court. Wei Jian, tell me, if these two become emperors, will the people still have a good life?"

After Emperor Chen finished speaking for a long time, there was no response from the hall. He turned his head and saw Wei Jian dozing against the pillar, and coughed lightly.

"Ah" Wei Jian immediately opened his eyes and said: "First the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, now the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, in my opinion, Lord Tang, the hat of the unlucky boss, I am afraid it will not be taken off"

"Unlucky star?" Emperor Chen looked out the window and said, "Everyone says he is an unlucky star who defeats his superiors, but who has ever thought that what he does is all within his job, and he defeats corrupt officials. If there are unlucky stars like him in this court, how much effort can I save?"

Wei Jian bowed slightly and said, "Lord Tang is indeed different."

"I originally thought that he and Fang Zhe were the same kind of people, but now I understand that he is different from anyone else." Emperor Chen sat down at the table again and said, "I hope he can always be different like this."

"Lord, you are so kind, I am grateful to you. I can't repay you in this life, but I am willing to work like a cow and a horse in the next life to repay your kindness!"

In the inn, a mother and daughter knelt down on their knees facing Tang Ning and spoke in a trembling voice.

Tang Ning hurriedly helped Miss Lian'er and her daughter up and said, "You don't have to do this. This is my job."

The old woman next to Miss Lian'er said firmly, "No, if it weren't for you, those evil people would still be at large. We mother and daughter will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives!"

Tang Ning was still not very good at dealing with such a situation. He comforted them a few words and walked out of the inn.

Classes have existed since ancient times and will never disappear. The powerful are the powerful, and they have privileges that ordinary people don't have, especially in this era.

If it weren't for the Tang family behind the scenes, expanding the situation, and detonating it in the court, these victims would probably not get justice.

And the original intention of the Tang family was not to help these people get justice. They just used this as a tool, a tool to attack King Kang.

The internship at the Ministry of Justice is about to end. Tang Ning doesn't know where his next job will be, but after the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice, he is likely to be blacklisted by other ministries. It depends on the emperor's mood which ministry he will harm next time.

When he left home, he saw Zhao Man sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Tang Ning hadn't seen her much in the past two days, and didn't know what she was busy with in the mansion. When he walked to the pavilion, Zhao Man looked over at him and said, "Brother Kang is narrow-minded. Although you are acting on orders, you have also personally interrogated those dignitaries. I am worried that he will hate you."

Tang Ning didn't care about this, but still nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Princess. I understand."

"Be careful in the future." Zhao Man stood up, took out something from her arms, handed it to him, and said, "This is for you."https:/1313482/
