Chapter 214: Catching turtles in the urn

The scholar was overjoyed when he heard this. This time the emperor spoke, but it was not just a three-year salary penalty.

Although he would not really kill Cao thief, he would at least have to remove most of his power and then appoint a person to take charge of the Diankuisi to form a situation of mutual supervision. With this incident, Cao Hua would never be able to take charge of the big net in his life.

As for the court?

If those who offend all the literati of the Song Dynasty and most of the court officials can still gather a force in the court, unless they are in the court of the enemy country.

For a moment, all the civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about how to divide the Diankui Si. After all, a documentary library contains the secrets of countless kings, princes, generals and ministers. These things exist, which means that a sword is hung on the heads of court officials. If they do not hold the sword in their own hands, most people will be unable to sleep or eat.

"I don't know the guilt!"

Just as everyone was thinking and planning, a plain voice came.

The whole room suddenly became quiet and the conversation ended abruptly.

Everyone looked up blankly and looked at Cao Taisui standing under the palace wall.

The strange atmosphere spread out and soon spread to the streets.

Outside Donghua Gate, literati, officials, people, and imperial guards calmed down in a very short time until the needle fell and could be heard.

Although the people on the outside did not hear anything, they understood from the strange atmosphere ahead and the faces of the courtiers.

I don't know the guilt?

The emperor asked, "Do you know your guilt?", can you answer this?

The emperor asked you to give a step. If you say 'the minister punishes the crime', the emperor said 'removed a certain position to serve as a warning to others, and let's disperse', and the matter is over.

You say 'I don't know the crime', how can the emperor accept it?

As soon as the words came out, the civil and military officials were confused.

Zhao Jie was stunned on the spot, looking at Cao Hua below, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

Cai You was stunned for a moment, then furious: "Cao Hua, you are arrogant!"

Cao Hua stood under the palace wall and said loudly: "I, Cao Hua, acted according to the law and never felt ashamed of the emperor and the people of the Song Dynasty. If you want to inflict crimes, Cao Hua will be unable to accept it."

Seeing Cao Hua desperately 'doing things according to law', everyone frowned and said to himself: Is this guy not crying until he saw the coffin, and he insisted on shaking out all the dirty things about Dian Kuisi before he could surrender?

Cai You didn't expect that Cao Hua was so stubborn that he didn't even listen to the emperor's words. His eyes were slightly cold and he said in a deep voice: "Cao Hua, since you say that you should act according to the law and give bribes a lighter punishment to the criminals, how do you explain?"

Zhao Jie's face was slightly calmer, and he thought with his hands behind his back: "Cao Hua, since you say you have a clear conscience, let me explain it to many candidates."

"promise!"

Cao Hua turned around and looked at the many students. He did not speak, but clapped his palms.

Slap—

Han'er and Li Bairen, who were waiting under the palace wall, left and lifted the carriage, took a master out, and ran to the palace wall.

Cai You's face changed suddenly and he thought it was not good.

This is the master from the Grand Master’s Mansion.

Cao Hua hooked his fingers and asked the master to kneel under the palace wall, then said, "Tell me, explain to the emperor and the backbone of the great Song Dynasty."

"yes!"

The master was trembling all over, kneeling on the ground and tremblingly said:

"Caomin deserves to die. He is ashamed of the mention of the Grand Tutor and the Prince. Because he is dissatisfied with the actions of Governor Cao, he privately sent someone to arrest Xu Chengjian's children and grandchildren, and used his life as a threat to force him to falsely accus Governor Cao.

There was no letter in Xu Chengjian's mansion that day. It was written by me after my order, but Governor Cao did not find out.

The eleven people after that were also captured by Caomin from all over the country, threatening their lives to force them to falsely accused Governor Cao..."

The words continued, and the whole audience was in an uproar!

Many literati were incredible, and even the civil and military officials were stunned on the spot.

For half a month, Cao Hua responded with a crappy excuse, and everyone thought it was his guilt.

Unexpectedly, Cao Hua deliberately took the matter so big and waited for Cai You here.

Cai You's face was gloomy and a little surprised - he had thought about Cao Hua's countless ways to expel his guilt, but it was a fact that Cao Hua admitted that he was soft-hearted and favorable for a while, it would not be convincing. But unexpectedly, Cao Hua was too lazy to explain the truth, and also distorted the truth and poured dirty water back.

Cao Hua leaned closer and said softly: "Mr. Cai, don't think that you are the only one who can kill the whole family. I do such a thing, but I have more experience than you."

Cai You's face was slightly dark, but he just snorted - at this moment, he couldn't be the sky and let Xu Chengjian's case be revealed to the world, after all, he was not clean.

Waiting for the master to tremble and finish speaking, Cao Hua said in a deep voice:

"There is no evidence for empty words."

The master's face turned pale, he looked at Master Cai, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The family members of those people are all detained by me in Hanquan Village outside the city, and are still in it now."

The civil and military court officials fell silent, bowed their heads and said silently.

Hanquan Village is a private house that the emperor gave to Cai Jing. Where did a master get such a strong man? He arrested people from all over the country and risked his life to frame Cao Hua.

Everyone knows the truth, and there is no need to think about it and knows that it was Cai Jing or Cai You who framed Cao Hua.

Cai Jing and Cai You did not argue, and also confirmed the matter.

However, no one dared to say it, even the literati who knelt down was stunned and silent for a little, but they stopped mentioning this matter - after all, they offended Grandmaster Cai, and they would not want to enter the official career in this life, and they would not have the obligation to help Cao thief clear up his grievances.

For a moment, everyone was silent and thought that this half month had never happened.

Zhao Jie knew the truth from everyone's reaction and nodded:

"Take it down."

Cai You looked gloomy and looked at the master who was taken away coldly, clenched his fists:

"Cao Hua, how can you explain if you forcibly capture Su Xiangning?"

The literati became restless again. The reason why they came to clear the emperor was not just for the purpose of embezzlement.

Zhang Qi knelt on the ground and said angrily: "Young Master Su is unparalleled. You have an old grudge with You. This time, because of Miss Su's affairs, you took personal revenge and forced arrest people. You are missing. You must have been arrested by you..."

"Let Master Su let go!"

"Let Master Su..."

There were shouting sounds everywhere!

Zhao Jie frowned slightly, but unexpectedly, the matter was not over yet, and he was a little impatient:

"What happened to Cao Hua and Su Shi, explain to them."

Cao Hua Ying claimed that he pressed his official sword in his hand and turned around to look at many literati:

"Everyone, why do you say that I will take revenge on my own?"

"You do many evil things and everyone can kill them. What's so great about revenge on your own?"

"Are there few people killed by you?"

Many literati also became hard in front of the emperor and argued loudly.

Cao Hua nodded, looked at the many literati and court officials, and said aloud: "Then another question, everyone, why do you say that Cao Hua is a traitor?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was stunned.

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such shameless people.

Even the title of "Kyoto Tai Sui" has been stolen. What is it if you are not a traitor?

Zhang Qi gritted his teeth and said, "You persecuted loyal and kind people and killed innocent people indiscriminately..."

Cao Hua spread his hands: "Who did I persecute?"

“….”

The audience was speechless. If a few scholars could tell the reason, it would be fine.

The court officials who knew some inside information were even more afraid to say that they were scolding me today. After all, these people were killed for the emperor, and even if they were not killed for the emperor, they were inseparable from the many important officials present.

Zhang Qi thought for a while: "You persecuted Su Shi and Young Master Su! We went to invite Young Master Su last night, but Young Master Su was speechless and disappeared..."

“Is there any evidence?”

"If you Cao Hua arrested someone, if we can find evidence..."

“That’s not.”
