When the five people saw Zhen Jian come back from the dead, they were frightened, this was out of instinct, anyone who saw the corpse would be afraid, but when they learned that Zhen Jian was not dead, and invited them to watch the play, they knew that something bad was wrong, Zhen Jian obviously came prepared this time, in the words of the play, it was to invite the gentleman into the urn, and it was obvious to deal with them.
For Zhen Jian's question, the faces of several patriarchs were quite ugly, or Wu Zaiyan had been in the officialdom for a long time and had strong adaptability, so he hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to salute: "What Master Zhen said is very true, Master Zhen is safe and sound, it is really the blessing of my Great Chu, I think it must be the blessing of the first emperor of Great Chu......
"Don't fart!"
Zhen Jian directly interrupted him and said coldly, "There is no heroic spirit to bless you, this Taishi relied on his own ability to break out of Chang'an City." ” Wu Zaiyan was scolded by him, hurriedly shrank his head, and said, "Yes......
Master Zhen is heroic and martial, and he can naturally turn evil into good fortune. ” Zhen Jian paced slowly, and said as he walked: "You may think that Zhen is messing around and holding a funeral for himself, which is ridiculous, do you think so?"
” The crowd had no words, and to be honest, that's what they thought, and it was ridiculous.
Zhen Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "That's right, this Taishi is so ridiculous, to deal with extraordinary people, it is natural to use extraordinary methods, the five great clans are deeply rooted in my Great Chu, and their power is extraordinary, so this Taishi doesn't dare to be careless."
At the end of his speech, his tone became cold, and he looked at the five patriarchs with a gloomy face.
The five patriarchs' faces suddenly became gloomy, and they all frowned, Zhen Jian really wanted to deal with them, and it seemed that he was about to tear his face.
Wu Zaiyan was still pretending to be stupid, and said with a dry smile: "What does Master Zhen mean by this, the lower officials are very puzzled. ” "You don't have to pretend to be stupid."
Zhen Jian sneered, "The five great clans collaborated with the enemy and treason, the crime was extremely heinous, and they also tried in vain to harm the Taishi, and the Taishi discussed with the emperor and decided to detain all the people of the five major clans and wait for the sentence of the criminal department." ” As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, although the five patriarchs had been prepared, but when they heard Zhen Jian say this sentence in person, they were also shocked.
Wu Zaiyan Wenyan hurriedly said: "Master Zhen, how can you be so bloody, when did we collaborate with the enemy and commit treason......
Zhen Jian was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he clapped his hands directly, and then saw a few guards of the Royal Forest Army escorting an unkempt prisoner into the mourning hall, and everyone looked at it, it was actually Qingguo Gong, and they were surprised and confused.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Chu Li spoke: "Zhuqing, this person is Hou Guanlan, the brother of Qingguo Gong. ” Everyone suddenly realized, it turned out to be Hou Guanlan, isn't it the guy who caught Zhen Jian and sent him to Chang'an, it is said that he has the main messenger behind him, looking at Zhen Jian's posture today, it seems that the mastermind behind the scenes is the five major families, then the matter can be big, does Zhen Jian really dare to do something to the five families?
There's a good show to watch now.
Zhen Jian stepped forward and grabbed Hou Guanlan's clothes, dragged him over, and said coldly: "This is the person!"
Pretending to be the Duke of Qingguo, he poisoned and stunned the Taishi, and then handed over the Taishi to the secret agent of the Tiele Kingdom. ” His cold gaze swept the audience, and finally fixed on Hou Guanlan, and asked: "Hou Guanlan, this Taishi is asking you now, who instructed you to murder Ben Taishi, think about it carefully, the emperor is here, you must not talk nonsense, this is your only chance to live!"
Take care of it yourself!
” Hou Guanlan raised his head and looked at the people present, and finally raised his hand, pointed at Wu Zaiyan, and said, "It's him, it's me who instructed him!"
” Wu Zaiyan suddenly shouted in panic: "You don't want to talk nonsense, I'm ......
The official ......
When did the officer instruct you?
” "Someone!"
Chu Li didn't bother to listen to what he said, and shouted directly, "Take Wu Zaiyan down!"
” Immediately, several Imperial Forest soldiers stepped forward to press Wu Zaiyan to the ground and took off his pipe hat, Wu Zaiyan was still shouting that he was wronged, and no one else dared to squeak, because they all knew that Zhen Jian and the emperor must have colluded to do things here today, who dared to go up and ask for trouble.
Wu Zaiyan was pulled out, his voice gradually disappeared, and the emperor walked up to Hou Guanlan and asked in a cold voice: "I ask you again, who else is there besides Wu Zaiyan?"
” Hou Guanlan shook his head and said, "The only people who connect with me are Wu Zaiyan and his subordinates, and there is no one else." ” "Who said no."
Zhen Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "Wu Zaiyan is a member of the Wu family, he collaborated with the enemy and treason, and the Wu family will not escape the involvement, come and take down Wu Changqing!"
” Several Imperial Forest soldiers rushed in when they heard the sound, and Wu Changqing hurriedly took two steps back, shouting in a hurry: "Wait!
” Zhen Jian raised his hand, stopped the Imperial Forest Army, and said coldly: "Old Patriarch Wu seems to have something to say?"
” Wu Changqing's throat was dry, he swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said: "Your Majesty, Master Zhen, my clan has produced such a scum, it is really self-ashamed, but as the saying goes, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, the Wu family has been inherited for thousands of years, the clan has nearly 10,000 people, and the old man is old and faint, he can't detect it, and he is naturally guilty, but if it is said that the old man participated in the murder of Zhen Taishi, the old man is absolutely not." ” Zhen Jian sneered: "You said no, then you didn't!"
” Wu Changqing also hardened and said loudly: "Could it be that Master Zhen wants to ignore the royal law and use the topic to play!"
Isn't Taishi Zhen afraid of the world's mouth?
” Zhen Jiandao: "Wang Fa, are you talking to this master about Wang Fa?"
Okay, this Taishi will talk to you about the king's law, according to the law of Dachu, those who collaborate with the enemy and traitor, capital crime, this is not enough, when the three clans of Yi, as far as this Taishi knows, Wu Zaiyan seems to be your cousin. ” Wu Changqing's face turned blue when he heard this, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly saluted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Taizu has promised to allow me the glory of the Wu family for generations, and there is no crime of rebellion, and I will not destroy his clan, although Wu Zaiyan is extremely evil, he has not committed rebellion......"
Zhen Jian interrupted him and said, "Didn't he rebel?"
Isn't treason for treason?
” Wu Changqing was speechless again, whether collaborating with the enemy and treason was considered a rebellion, he didn't know, at least the fate of collaborating with the enemy and treason was the same as plotting rebellion, either the nine tribes or the three tribes, all of them were extremely miserable.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Zhen Jian said again: "The three clans of Yi are three families and nine clans, that is, the father's clan, the mother's clan, and the wife's clan, if this Taishi is not mistaken, Wu Zaiyan's mother is the Jiangling Han clan, and his wife is the Huizhou Tan clan, his wife died early, and later he married two more successively, namely the Luzhou Wang clan and the Huizhou Zheng clan, well......
It's a coincidence, the five major families are all involved, what a coincidence, hehe. ” Originally, the four heads of the family thought that this matter had nothing to do with them, Zhen Jian's fiddling with this was actually pouring dirty water on their bodies, but what Zhen Jian said was the truth, their gate valve families are intermarried with each other, in order to consolidate the relationship, this is a custom inherited for many years, and it has almost formed a rule, and gradually, the five major gate valves have formed an inextricable link, but I didn't expect Zhen Jian to start from this and start the whole body.
Hearing this, the head of the Han family snorted coldly: "My niece died in childbirth less than two years after marrying into the Wu family, does Taishi Zhen also want to involve old decay because of this?"
” Zhen Jian raised his eyebrows and sneered: "I'm sorry, the rules are like this, Zhen is selfless and selfless with an iron face, and acts according to the rules, please take care of the Han family." ” The head of the Zheng family said at this time: "Master Zhen is only afraid that he will be careless for a while, and the niece and granddaughter of the old man were accepted as concubines by Wu Zaiyan, not his wife's room, and she is not in the three clans." ” Among these five people, the Zheng family master is the most scheming, even if Zhen Jian has gradually shown his fangs at this moment, he still thinks steadily, looks for vitality, and is calm and calm, not showing a little panic.
Zhen Jian said with a smile: "No, it's not that the Taishi is mistaken, but the Zheng family master, you are mistaken, even if it is a concubine, as long as a male is born for the offender, it will be razed by the three clans." ” The head of the Zheng family's face turned pale when he heard this, Wu Zaiyan is a person who has a relatively high official position in the court among the five clans, so all the major families have the heart to cling to him, and they have married his daughters one after another, even if they are accepted as concubines, so Wu Zaiyan will collect the daughters of the four clans, and now it is okay, the woman who was sent out at the beginning has now become their talisman.
Zhen Jian put his hands behind his back, changed his pace, and said: "Five family masters, now you are all implicated by Wu Zaiyan, but you can rest assured, this Taishi and the emperor are aware of everything, and they will definitely not wronged a good person, this Taishi has already sent soldiers and horses to your mansion to ask your clansmen to come to the capital temporarily to be investigated, I hope they can all cooperate well, but don't resist the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, otherwise, the emperor will not be able to protect you." ” "What!"
The five heads of the family exclaimed in unison.

Their five major families have their own armed forces, how can such a big family not have their own forces, Zhen Jian sent soldiers and horses to go, making it clear that he was looking for trouble, there was no one in the family, he couldn't stand the bullying, he would definitely resist, and when the time came, the big hat of rebellion would be buttoned on their heads, and they couldn't take it off.
Zhen Jian smiled and said: "Don't be so surprised, it's just a formality, as long as your clansmen obediently cooperate with the people of the court, there will be no trouble, after all, your ancestors have made great contributions to the country, and they are reasonable, and the emperor and the emperor can't be so unkind, right." ” The faces of the five people were like dirt, they were fooled, they were completely fooled, Zhen Jian pretended to be dead and attracted them, it turned out that he was not only inviting you into the urn, but also attacking the west, taking advantage of their absence, to attack their family, this trick is really insidious, too insidious.
Zhen Jian said again: "Okay, the five patriarchs, now that you are all suspicious, you might as well cooperate and go to the prison of the Criminal Department. ” When the head of the Han family heard this, he just wanted to resist, but was stopped by the head of the Zheng family, and the head of the Zheng family shook his head silently at him, signaling him not to act rashly, the emperor is here, is it useful for them to resist, that will only confirm the charge of rebellion.
But if you don't resist, you will be arrested and put in the prison of the Criminal Department, what is the prison of the Criminal Department, that is almost a place where you go in and lie down and come out, it is not an exaggeration to call it a hell on earth, how many big men who pretend to be like bulls are tortured to death after entering, their old bones, this time, I am afraid that there will be death and no life.
Wu Changqing turned his head to face the emperor and begged loudly: "The emperor is gracious, I hope that the emperor will be punished lightly for the merits of the ancestors of our various ethnic groups!"
"Let's say it, plop down on the ground, and the other four people also knelt down when they saw this, Zhen Jian's pass, they knew that it was no fun, and now they can only ask the emperor.
Chu Li softened a little when he saw this, after all, he was a person who rushed to peace, and he didn't like to kill, so he frowned and groaned there.
Zhen Jian said lightly on the side: "This time this Taishi was arrested and sent to Chang'an, and was used by the people of Tiele Country to test all kinds of poisons, it was really a dilemma of life and death, when I was locked in prison, I really wanted to die headlong, but at that time, I didn't even have the strength to commit suicide, every muscle and vein in my body was in severe pain, in order to save me, hundreds of heroes died tragically in Chang'an City, alas, ......"
He seemed to be talking to himself, but in fact, he was talking to Chu Li, Chu Li thought of Zhen Jian being killed by these people, and immediately stopped soft-hearted, and shouted loudly: "Come on, take these five people to the prison of the Criminal Department, and try them together with Wu Zaiyan!"
” "Yes!"
Immediately, more than a dozen guards of the Royal Forest Army stepped forward to escort the five patriarchs and took them out.
Zhen Jian and the emperor glanced at each other and nodded slightly to each other, which meant that it was done.
Soon, the news that Zhen Jian was not dead spread all over the capital, and in an instant, all the filial piety in the capital disappeared, and the national funeral was canceled, and the people were very happy, or went to the restaurant, or at home, killing chickens and setting up wine to celebrate, if nothing else, for Zhen Taishi was still alive.
The next day, there was a fast horse back to the capital to report that the Wu clan in Jiaxing rebelled against the imperial court soldiers and horses, and did not allow the imperial court soldiers and horses to enter the village, with an extremely vicious attitude, and also injured some of the imperial court.
Then similar news came one after another, Chu Li and Zhen Jian looked at each other and smiled after receiving the news, but Chu Li ordered that the five major wang clans rebelled against the imperial court, and the crime was extremely heinous, and they were all captured.
Next, a large number of people set off to the location of the five wang clans, the five wang clans suddenly cried wolf, in the face of the powerful imperial court soldiers and horses, obediently put down their weapons, but it was too late, all of them were arrested, and the family property was all filled into the treasury, and for a time, the capital built a temporary prison to imprison the members of the five wang clans, and the number reached tens of thousands.
Next, it is the treatment of the five major wang clans, the five patriarchs have died of illness in the prison of the criminal department, as for whether they died of illness, no one dares to ask, since the criminal department said that they died of illness, that is, they died of illness, and then, find out all kinds of crimes of the five wang clans, forcibly expropriate land, bully men and women, sell illegal salt, and even sell military armor to the Xiongnu Liang State, although the Xiongnu and Liang States have been destroyed, but still can not ignore their crimes because of this.
Zhen Jian also kept his promise, not wronged a good person, of course, there is the second half of the sentence, do not let go of a bad person, but anyone who participates in illegal activities will be severely punished, those who should be killed will be killed, and those who should be distributed will be allocated, as for others, check the evidence of innocence and acquit them, but these people are all collateral, even if they go back and lose the protection of the family, life is not easy.
Three months later, the case of the five major wang clans was finally over, Zhen Jian and Chu Li stood on the tower of the palace gate, looking at the scenery of the capital side by side, the criminal department Shangshu was holding a note on the side, reading the summary of the five major wang clan cases, and after he finished reporting, Chu Li waved his hand and asked him to step down, and the criminal department Shangshu obediently retired.
Chu Li sighed softly: "Killed nearly a thousand people, distributed two thousand people, since the founding of the Great Chu State, there has never been such a thing, Zhen Jian, is it ...... for us to do this?"
"Your Majesty, Ci is not in charge of the troops."
Zhen Jian said expressionlessly, "This is also the truth of governing the country, when you should be ruthless, you have to be ruthless, we have killed a lot of people, but the emperor must know that we are doing this for the long-term stability of the country, the merit is in the present generation, and the benefits are in the future, and all the judgments can only be handed over to future generations." ”
