Datang: I was overheard by the Empress

Chapter 174 The real fight begins!

God knows what you did!
What goes around comes around!
The bright mirror hangs high, law enforcement is like a mountain!
Implement fairness and justice in every case!
Everyone was stunned for a moment, whether it was the people in Chang'an who were watching the excitement at the moment, the family members of the plaintiff and the defendant who were complaining non-stop, or even many officials in the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they couldn't help but to get up when they heard Di Renjie's words. Goosebumps all over!
These words usually seem to be said by everyone, everyone seems to be able to say them, and even the big flat above Wu Sansi's head at this moment is the four big characters Mingjing Gaohang!

But listening to Di Renjie's words, everyone's hearts were shocked for a moment!
Whether it's the people of Chang'an who are watching the excitement, or the family members of the plaintiffs and defendants who are crying out for injustice in the main hall of the Ministry of Punishment,
Or the officials in the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment felt the unyielding belief and lofty ideals contained in Di Renjie's words at this moment!

Even at this moment, Liang Wang Wu Sansi, who was sitting in the head of the Criminal Department, couldn't help but be shocked by Di Renjie's words, but soon Wu Sansi reacted, feeling annoyed in his heart: "As expected of Yan Liben's favorite person, his mouth is very sharp, but Ben The king wants to see how long you can be arrogant?"

"Di Renjie, what this king is asking you is how you should deal with these thousands of people seeking grievances. Your answer is not what you asked. What do you want to do?"

Wu Sansi directly broke the silence and asked, it is absolutely impossible for Di Renjie to directly take the initiative!
"His Royal Highness Liang, the imperial court has its own rules and regulations. The people's redress of grievances should also be done according to the imperial court rules and regulations. Parents and officials from all over the country should strictly investigate the case and judge the case carefully. Now His Royal Highness Liang Wang has gathered all these people together. I would like to ask Liang Wang Yiyi, I don't know what Liang Wang wants to do?"

Di Renjie immediately refuted, and in a flash, he refuted Wu Sansi completely!

"The rules and regulations of the imperial court should also change according to the time and situation. Dali Temple caught fire and thousands of scrolls were burned. This matter is your fault, Di Renjie. If the imperial court does not deal with this matter as soon as possible, is it necessary to wait for the people's grievances to boil?"

"Di Renjie, it seems that you still don't know the seriousness of the matter, pass on this king's decree and summon Ma Yuanbang, acting Minister of Dali Temple!"

Wu Sansi gave an order, and a moment later, Dali Temple Qing Ma Yuanbang rushed to the main hall of the Ministry of Punishment!
"Your Majesty, Ma Yuanbang, I have met His Royal Highness King Liang!" Ma Yuanbang bowed his hands slightly to greet Wu Sansi,
"Master Ma, you are welcome, give me a seat!"

Wu Sansi said with a smile on his face, soon someone moved a chair for Ma Yuanbang to sit down!

Seeing Ma Yuanbang sitting down generously, Di Renjie's heart moved suddenly, but there was no expression on his face. Ma Yuanbang's behavior undoubtedly stood with Wu Sansi.

As the acting Minister of Dali Temple, if Ma Yuanbang and Wu Sansi stand together, it would be dangerous for Di Renjie!
"Master Ma, the king invited you here today to ask you one thing. What was the situation on the day the Dali Temple was on fire?"

Wu Sansi asked in a deep voice, some things were said two months ago, but they may not be so after two months.

"Returning to His Royal Highness Liang, on the day when the Dali Temple was on fire, all officials from the top and bottom of the Dali Temple were on duty at the Dali Temple, including Lord Di Renjie Di, who also checked the files in the archives of the Dali Temple.
But after that Master Di suddenly left Dali Temple for some unknown reason. I didn’t dare to ask more questions, but who knew that almost an hour after Master Di left Dali Temple, a fire suddenly broke out in Dali Temple, and the fire was raging.
Although officials from the top and bottom of Dali Temple rushed to fight the fire, the fire was too large to be controlled, and all the water in the water storage tank of Dali Temple was frozen into ice, which eventually caused the files of Dali Temple to be burned! "

Ma Yuanbang immediately said that what he said was basically in line with the facts, but the slight weakening and aggravation made the whole thing change suddenly!

Watching the people of Chang'an who were watching the excitement at the Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, hearing the words of Ma Yuanbang Ma, it seemed as if they had eaten a shocking melon all of a sudden!

"It turned out that the fire in Dali Temple was really related to Di Renjie's dereliction of duty. I thought it was just a natural fire, but I didn't expect it to be so!"

"You can't say that, even if Di Renjie is in the Dali Temple, but there is no one more than him in such a big fire, and he is not a lot less. I heard that the reason why the fire in Dali Temple can be put out in the end is all thanks to Di Renjie. Commander, I see that the officials in Dali Temple are all living on dry food, and the water stored in their house has been frozen into ice balls, and they are all in a hurry, but they don't know what to do!"

The common people immediately began to express their opinions one by one, and some of them even uttered their aspirations that the officials are all dry food!

……

"Di Renjie, what questions do you have about Master Ma's words?" Wu Sansi asked coldly.
"There is a problem, of course there is a problem!"

Di Renjieton retorted on the spot:
"The laws of my Tang Dynasty do not stipulate that officials cannot leave the Yamen during their duty in the Yamen. Besides, there is a reason why Japanese officials left Dali Temple, so of course this does not prove anything!"

Di Renjie said in a deep voice, every sentence is well-founded. As the Minister of Dali Temple, Di Renjie can naturally be said to be the most proficient at interpreting the laws of the Tang Dynasty
Even if King Liang had prepared evidence and wanted to frame Di Renjie, it would definitely not be so easy to frame Di Renjie. Otherwise, wouldn't Di Renjie, the Minister of Dali Temple, do it for nothing!
"Di Renjie, I'm telling you, don't try to make excuses with rhetoric. Since you are the Minister of Dali Temple, and since such a serious accident occurred in Dali Temple, you should take the primary responsibility. Don't you think you can escape punishment by prevarication? ?”

Wu Sansi snorted coldly, and frowned tightly. Sure enough, it is not easy to convict Di Renjie so quickly!

After all, this matter is not a small case, and Wu Sansi can't cover the sky with one hand, at least Yan Liben and others will definitely show up at the last moment, and they must make this matter an ironclad proof. , so that Di Renjie has no chance to stand up!

In the main hall of the Ministry of Justice, the confrontation between Di Renjie and Wu Sansi has only just begun, and as for who will win the battle in the end, I'm afraid it won't be a short-term contest!
