Chapter 354: Wife is on top, slave is second (1/2)
The so-called Two Rivers case was just an errand that Qin Wansha and the emperor asked for some time ago.
This is a typical unjust, false and wrong case handled by the court.
In Tianyan, there is a place interspersed by two rivers, called Liangjiang. A few years ago, the emperor sent a talented young official to serve as the prefect.
However, a disaster happened that year. Before the official arrived, floods broke out in Liangjiang River, and tens of thousands of people were drowned because of the unstable embankment.
The emperor Thunder was furious, but none of the officials in the two rivers dared to withstand the emperor’s anger, because it was their little corruption that corrupted the volume of the imperial court to repair the embankment every year, which led to this tragedy. .
However, in order to save their lives, they fabricated a lie and blamed all the guilt on the newly arrived young prefect.
Because of the solid evidence and the urgent frontiers, the emperor killed the good man by mistake, and was taken away by the officers and soldiers, and even beheaded to show the public when the prefect lead was on the front line to save the water.
This incident was originally concealed by the officials jointly, but did not want the brothers of the young prefect. In order to find out the truth and redress the wrongs for the sisters, he hid his identity and married one of the officials as the side king, and he was really found out. After obtaining the evidence, in the end, the man brought the evidence to the governor, and he was wise to kill him on the spot. This made the matter a big deal.
The matter reached the emperor's ears because the governor was accidentally killed when he went to Beijing, and when he sent someone to investigate, he pulled out such an unjust, false and wrong case.
This investigation did not matter. The emperor discovered that in order to beg for mercy for the prefect, the local people even wrote a letter to the people, but it was intercepted by the officials halfway, and it was not passed to him.
The emperor was anxious and sent people to take all these officials back to Beijing for trial. However, the evidence should be destroyed when the governor was killed. In this case, it is difficult to be convicted, and no one is willing to take the risk of offending the prime minister. Of these people.
At that time, Qin Wansha said that only she could do this, which was what she meant—she was not afraid of fighting with the Prime Minister.
However, in fact, it is not easy to do this job well, because before being escorted to Beijing, the records of the prefect and their greed of ink and silver were all destroyed.
But now, before Qin Wansha started to deal with the Liangjiang case, Sagong Lebai took out this matter to frame Qin Wansha.
In ancient times, there was a great awe of ghosts and gods, and Tianyan Kingdom was no exception.
The emperor and Fengjun had already believed in Qin Wansha's rhetoric, and they didn't believe this empty talk. However, the ministers in the court, especially those in the prime minister's line, picked up this matter one by one and began to attack Qin Wansha.
In response to these doubts, Qin Wansha just smiled and said: ”Nonsense.”
This simple sentence seemed to be caught by the ministers of the prime minister's line and began to furiously attack.
Qin Wansha's response to this was to take out the evidence provided by Zhao Xiuyun and find the local people who wanted to reverse the case for the young prefect.
The ministers who were lucky enough to think that the evidence was destroyed and there would be no worries for the future panicked, one by one, they turned their eyes for help to the prime ministers who had returned to the court.
However, this time, even the prime minister himself could hardly protect himself-the ‘gift money’ that was sent to the emperor’s eyes was often recorded in such a large amount that the emperor was frightened.
