In the third year of Jingyou, during Emperor Renzong's reign of the Song Dynasty, an unruly young man fell into the back garden of the Great Song Imperial Palace, thus beginning a life that wou...
"It seems that there is something wrong with the Huainan Judicial Department. We need to investigate it."
Zhao Jun pondered for a moment and nodded.
"hehe."
Hearing his words, Guo Chengyou laughed and said, "The prefect is quite resourceful. He has been investigating the criminal department all the way."
"Well, let alone the Ministry of Justice, I've already investigated the Three Departments. Han Yi is still the Deputy Prime Minister. How is he now?"
Zhao Jun asked in reply, "You are just a lowly fifth-rank prefect, yet you are so bold."
"oh?"
Guo Chengyou pretended not to know: "What does the prefect mean? I don't understand."
"I think you are pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth."
Zhao Jun asked, "What else do you have to say about Zhang Fu?"
"Without any evidence, the prefect can't explain it clearly."
Guo Chengyou sneered: "If you want me to confess my guilt, please at least produce the evidence."
At least he felt that Zhao Jun did not have any evidence of the Zhang Fu incident.
Zhao Jun indeed had no evidence of guilt.
He originally planned to go to Bozhou to investigate the matter, but on the way he encountered the case of the Wang family wanting to marry their daughter's bones, and implicated Guo Chengyou.
But Zhao Jun has other evidence of his crimes.
He pointed to the box behind him and laughed, "Then you embezzled bribes, helped landlords seize wealth, raped women, and plundered the people. The evidence is conclusive, right? Tell me, what crime should you be charged with?"
"Forehead"
Guo Chengyou was stunned for a moment. This was what he was afraid of.
He had been lawless in the local area for too long, and was too ostentatious and careless. Now he had a basket of evidence of his crimes lying there, which was quite embarrassing.
However, history records that he was "involved in arrogance and presumption, lacking the courtesy of a minister." Therefore, even though Zhao Jun found evidence of his guilt, Guo Chengyou still arrogantly said, "I deserve a demotion, so what? The worst that can happen is that I can serve as a militia commander in the countryside for two years, and the government will promote me again in a year or two."
"hehe."
Zhao Jun smiled, then yawned as he felt sleepy. He stood there for a moment to gather himself, then pulled himself together and pointed at Guo Chengyou, shouting, "Get off your horse!"
The sound was so loud and it burst out all of a sudden that Guo Chengyou was stunned.
Then Zhao Jun shouted, "Where are the Imperial Guards?"
"exist!"
"Catch this lunatic."
"yes."
Many guards rushed forward at once.
Guo Chengyou was horrified and asked, "Zhao Jun, what do you mean?"
"What's the meaning?"
Zhao Jun raised his head and said to him with contempt, "You are just a small prefect, yet you dare to be so arrogant and answer in front of me. Do you think that because you are the son-in-law of the Zhao family and a member of the Eastern Palace, I dare not touch you? I have killed many people like you in Bianliang. Even the emperor can't save you. I say it!"
"Get it!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand.
In an instant, the surrounding guards rushed forward, pulled Guo Chengyou off his horse, and pressed him to the ground.
Guo Chengyou shouted, "Zhao Jun, if you dare to touch me, the emperor will not let you go."
"You are wrong. I will not let the emperor off for protecting someone like you. When I return to Bianliang, I will scold him severely."
Zhao Jun walked over, lowered his head and looked at him, saying, "As for you, you may not live to see that day. I'm a little sleepy, so go and rest for a while. I'll send someone to raid your house later. Once I wake up from my sleep, I'll ask about your situation."
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving everyone in shock.
