Chapter 230 In the court duel
Chapter 2 30
Zhengde is quite interesting. This case has been brought up over and over again. He was already very bored, but now it is very interesting. First, the Nanzhen Fusi investigated the official department, and then the official department sued Sun Xuan for falsely. At this time, Song Nan suddenly had another incredible reversal, ups and downs and downs were no different from watching the drama. Many.
"Song Nan, I'm almost confused by you. What's going on? Don't play it quickly."
Song Nan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this case seems complicated, but in fact it is very simple. The context is very clear. Rong Chen's analysis is for the emperor and all the adults."
Liu Jin said coldly, "Song Nan, as the governor of the North Town, you must be cautious in investigating cases, but you can't talk nonsense. In front of the emperor, in front of the adults, you are not allowed to talk nonsense in this Fengtian Hall."
Song Nan smiled and said, "Eunuch Liu, you don't need to remind me; the cause of the whole incident is nothing more than Xu Liang's suspicion that the process of the by-election of officials of the Ministry of Officials was tricky. Xu Liang went to the Chongjiaofang Jinyiwei Qianhu to reveal the news that he suspected that the Ministry of Officials had made articles on his resumes and deliberately wrote unbearable words on the resumes of other alternate officials. As a result, he lost the qualification to fill the vacancy, and later, after the investigation of Nanzhen Fusi, as Xu Liang said, there were discordant words on the official's resume file, which led to this case.
Jiao Fang said, "But this file is a fake file. How can Jin Yiwei get a fake file from nowhere? With all due respect, I have also heard a little about Jinyiwei's handling of cases. In order to get a result, he often does whatever he can.
Song Nan smiled and said, "Lord Jiao is not as good as saying that Jinyiwei is good at forging evidence to frame others. Why do you have to beat around the bush?"
Jiao Fang snorted, "Everyone knows whether it is so or not."
Song Nan said, "Let's put down the file first. Who is Xu Liang? Who can tell me that Cui Shilang has evaluated this person, and he must know the details of this person.
Cui Xiu said blankly, "Xu Liang was a three-year-old man of Hongzhi. He served as the county magistrate of Hanshan County. Now he is an alternate official of the Ministry of Officials. He has made good political achievements during his official period and resigned during his father's death."
Song Nan nodded and said, "howantly, there should be no connection between Xu Liang and the Ministry of Officials, and they have never held a position in the Ministry of Officials, right?"
Cui Xiu said, "I have made it very clear."
Song Nan said: "Very good, that is to say, Xu Liang and the well water of the Ministry of officials did not flood the river, and he reported it only because of suspicion. At this point, I think you should think of such a question. How can Xu Liang have the courage to report the officials of the Ministry of Officials? According to what he said, it is out of doubt, but as an alternate official of the imperial court, although he has no official position, the court's salary is still led by a lot, and his life is also carefree. If you are not sure, you can find the stubble of the official department just by suspicion. Is this reasonable? If you were the adults present, would you do this?
The officials frowned and thought that if they wanted to express their views in public, they would naturally pat their chests and say big words that they were not afraid of power and seek fairness, but if they really wanted to report it without any evidence, most of them shook their heads silently in their hearts.
"Not everyone is as wise as Lord Song thinks. Our Ming Dynasty officials beg for social clarity, and the heart of justice in the court should not be underestimated." Jiao Fang said lightly.
Song Nan laughed and said, "Lord Jiao said that maybe Xu Liang is such a person. Let's regard him as a dereliction of duty of officials. In order to uphold justice, he is a person with courage and backbone, but this can be said to be one of the doubts in this case. The following facts were in Xu Liang's words. The official's resume file that Sun Zhenfu got from Ma Shangshu was indeed as Xu Liang said. So far, it could have been possible to find out whether the supervisor of this official's resume was suspected of blasphemy. Unexpectedly, Cui Shilang and a clerical official said that this file was fake, and the problem was complicated. ."
Cui Xiu shouted, "This file is already fake. Didn't Lord Song also check the handwriting? Although some people deliberately imitated the calligraphy of the clerical department, the fake ones were fake. As soon as they checked, they showed their feet. No one in the Ministry of the Ministry of Public Affairs submitted this resume.
Song Nan said, "Where did this resume file come from?"
Cui Xiu said, "Then it's time to ask Lord Sun. Why did he take a fake file to accuse me of blaspianism? What is this false accusation?
Song Nan smiled and said, "Do you mean that Sun Xuan has forged a fake file?"
Cui Xiu said proudly, "This is what Lord Song should have found out, but he came to ask me."
Song Nan said, "Okay, even if Sun Zhenfu forged this fake file, please explain the contradictions for me. At the time, Lord Jiao impeached Ma Shangshu for not knowing whether the authenticity of the file, that is to say, Lord Jiao's intention was that this file was already fake when he was in the hands of Ma Shangshu, so Sun Zhen Fufu's acquisition of this file must also be fake. How can Sun Zhenfu fake it?
Jiao Fang was dumbfounded. She didn't figure out this kind of chronological and logical mistake. She was too anxious to pull Ma Wensheng into the water, but it turned out to be such a loophole.
Song Nan went back and picked up the wooden box and found the fake file from the inside and motioned around: "This so-called fake file has the circle evaluation of Ma Shangshu. That is also to say that the authenticity of the file has nothing to do with Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu. Whether it is true or false, it was handed over to Sun Zhenfu by Ma Shangshu himself. Everyone Do you agree?"
The ministers buzzed and nodded. There is no doubt that Ma Wensheng is in the front of the circle and Sun Xuan is behind. If it is fake, it is naturally fake in the hands of Ma Wensheng, which has nothing to do with Sun Xuan.
Song Nan put the file in front of Ma Wensheng and whispered, "Ma Shangshu, are the comments and circles above your own handwriting?"
Ma Wensheng felt that he had been sold by Song Nan and was very angry, but in front of everyone, he could not deny it. He nodded and said, "It's really my character."
Song Nanpa took the file and arched her hand to Zheng De and said, "Your Majesty, Cui Xiu, the servant of the Ministry of Officials and others, sued Sun Xuan of Nanzhen Fusi for fabricating evidence to frame the officials of the Ministry of Officials. Obviously, Sun Zhenfu has nothing wrong with it. The problem is in the Ministry of Officials. The file evidence provided by the Ministry of Officials has misled Sun Zhenfu to handle the case."
Zhengde nodded and said, "So it is, but why do I still feel that there are still many things that have not been clarified?"
Song Nan nodded and said, "The emperor is right, and there are still many doubts; first, whether this file is true or false; second, if it is false, who wrote it and what is the purpose? Third, why Ma Shangshu deliberately faked the truth, which is the key to the case.
Zhengde said, "Didn't you come to a conclusion?"
Song Nan said, "That's natural. How can I not find out what the emperor has entrusted? First of all, the authenticity of this file has been determined. According to the verification of the handwriting, it is indeed not the handwriting of the officials and other relevant officials. That is to say, the officials responsible for filling of officials have never written this file, and someone has forged it. The file was submitted to Ma Shangshu's desk. In fact, Ma Shangshu had noticed that after receiving the fake file, Ma Shangshu suspected that there was someone in the official department. In addition, Nanzhen Fusi suddenly intervened in the matter, so Ma Shangshu chose to watch the change so as not to disturb the snake. When the case was transferred to Fusi in our North Town, Ma Shangshu made an appointment. I will tell you all his doubts, which can be proved by Ma Shangshu.
The ministers were in an uproar again. What surprised them was not that Ma Wensheng identified the authenticity of the file, but that Ma Wensheng actually met Song Nan and sought cooperation with Song Nan. Many people said that they could not believe it. After impeachment of the eight tigers, the civil servants of the foreign court also hated Song Nan. They usually said that Song Nan was full of scolding. Ma Wensheng scolded the most, how could he seek cooperation with Song Nan?
As if to solve everyone's doubts, Song Nan specially asked Ma Wensheng, "Ma Shangshu, am I telling the truth? Did you inform me about this in the private room of Liu's restaurant that day? In front of the emperor and the ministers, I want you to say it yourself.
How can Ma Wensheng not know that Song Nan is fishing for himself out? Although he has no good impression of Song Nan, this is an opportunity to get rid of his faint and old impeachment. How can he not?
"Your Majesty, there is indeed this matter. Lord Song asked me to keep it a secret and pretend not to be ignorant, so as not to frighten the snake. Therefore, the old minister was ambiguous when the emperor just asked, and he wanted to cooperate with Lord Song to investigate the case. Please forgive me." Ma Wensheng said righteously.
Zhengde waved his hand to Song Nan and said, "Continue, and then what?"
Song Nan said, "Your Majesty, if there is a fake file, there must be a real file. The real and fake file can never appear on Ma Shangshu's desk at the same time. I infer that when Ma Shangshu's file is proved to be false, the real file will definitely appear. Only in this way can it prove Ma Shangshu's faint and old-fashioned, so Ma Shangshu's consent Xu Xia took people to the official government to look for it, and sure enough, he found this real file on Ma Shangshu's desk.
Song Nan bent down and pulled out a file from the wooden box, raised it, and handed it to Cui Xiu and said, "Cui Shilang, is this real?"
Although Cui Xiu was full of suspicion, he opened it and nodded and said, "Yes, it was the official examination resume I dealt with, which was written by a sage under me, and I checked and submitted it to Ma Shangshu."
Song Nan said, "Okay, does Cui Shilang remember when this file was submitted?"
Cui Xiu said, "On the sixteenth of the first month."
Song Nan nodded and smiled, "It's a good memory. I have the registration accounts of the scribes in Ma Shangshu's public room. The emperor, please take a look at the acceptance date of this * and see which one is." Song Nan bent down and took out the * record book in the treasure chest-like wooden box and submitted it to him.
Zhengde spread the record book on the dragon case and frowned for a long time and said, "It is indeed written on the 18th day of the first lunar month. What's wrong?"
Song Nan said, "Your Majesty, let's see if the word 'six' is a little strange."
Zhengde frowned and looked at it for a long time and said, "It's really strange. Why do these six words look so awkward?"
Song Nan said, "Your Majesty might as well invite others to have a look."
Zhengde glanced down and pointed to a person and said, "Bachelor Yang, you are full of poetry and calligraphy, and you are also quite talented in calligraphy. Help me see where the 'six' character is?"
Yang Tinghe, who was tall and elegant, came out. He took the record book handed over by the servant and glanced at it several times, and said, "Your Majesty, this 'six' character seems to have been changed, and the upper part is much higher than other handwriting. It seems that it has been changed from the 'eight' character added the horizontal pen above."
Zhengde patted his legs and said, "Sure enough, I find it strange. It's really seems that you changed from 'eight' to 'six'."
Song Nan smiled and took over the registration book in Yang Ting's hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Yang."
Yang Tinghe replied, "Hands up."
Song Nan said, "Your Majesty, someone deliberately changed the submission date of this real file for three days, which is to cover it. On the 16th of the first month, it was the time when the fake file was submitted to Ma Shangshu. Ma Shangshu was diligent and circled on the same day; this real file was also changed to the 16th. What does this mean?"
Zhengde blinked and said, "The person who reported deliberately asked Ma Wensheng to see the fake file first, and then add the real file, and take the responsibility of Ma Shangshu to be true or false, or deliberately let Sun Xuan get false evidence. After the real file is made up, it can be said that Sun Xuan's forged."
Song Nan smiled and said, "The emperor's wisdom is unprecedented in ancient and modern times."
