The Qing Dynasty judicial system implemented a "level review and review system", and the final trial was rare. Therefore, even in the case of corruption in the Qin Prison case, the emperor rarely directly approved the initial trial and conspiracy, but would submit it to the "Three Laws and Judgments" procedures to review step by step.

When some major cases are under review, the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate and Dali Temple - the serious judicial institutions of the Qing Dynasty - have the opportunity to make an official appearance.

But this time, Qianlong skipped the review of the Three Courts and directly upgraded the review of the Li Shiyao case to "Nine Ministers' Review", that is, the Three Courts should join hands with the Secretary of the Six Ministry, Minister of the Secretariat, Right Deputy Censor, Deputy Envoy of Tongzheng, Shaoqing of Dali Temple and other senior officials in Beijing, a total of forty or fifty people came to review together.

The judicial system has finally had the opportunity to play a role, but it is just a supporting role.

"The emperor is asking Li Shiyao's life, he wants to protect Li Shiyao..."

What a shrewd person Heshen immediately realized Qianlong's true intention.

Qianlong said that this case is of great importance and should be sentenced carefully, but in fact he wanted to secretly seek support in a larger range to protect Li Shiyao.

However, what Qianlong did not expect was that Li Shiyao was too high-profile in the past and his character was too bad, and everyone hated him deeply. The result of the Nine Ministers' Trials' Interrogation was that the emperor recommended that the emperor upgrade the killing of the prison to the killing of the prison.

"Hahaha, hahaha. God can still forgive evil, but man cannot survive if he commits evil..."

Heshen finally met Zhao Liang on the way back to the capital from Yunnan and Guizhou. He still couldn't go to Chenzhou, but Zhao Liang could come to Yancheng first.

When the two met Heshen, they took the initiative to talk about the Li Shiyao case because the case was so ridiculous. Although there was almost no news among the people, Zhao Liang looked "confused" and played a role in front of Heshen.

"This Li Shiyao is corrupt and abused the law and is a vicious official of the court. He is responsible for his crimes. He is worthy of death. The emperor has always been wise and powerful, so how could he bypass this corrupt official?"

Heshen took a sip of wine and only smiled disapprovingly at Zhao Liang's words.

"What sins are not guilty? What kind of greedy or not? The emperor said he deserves to die, but he deserves to die if he is not guilty. If the emperor doesn't want to ask him to die, even if he commits a death sentence, he will not die. The world belongs to the emperor, and everything depends on the emperor's arbitrary decision."

This is a truth Heshen figured out this time.

What he was thinking about now was not what would happen to Li Shiyao's case in the future, but was wondering why the emperor knew that Li Shiyao was a corrupt official and was a corrupt official, but he just refused to deal with him and even wanted to commit crimes for him?

He already had an answer in his heart, that is, the emperor's favor.

Should Li Shiyao be killed? He should die. But the emperor just doesn’t want to call him dead. Is this what it means? As long as he has the favor of the emperor? That is to violate the national law and commit a death sentence? There is no need to be afraid?

Heshen had the feeling that "the enemy can go, I can go."

So Li Shiyao is favored? But how could he be favored by himself?

This guy has committed such a great crime and almost ruined the province? The emperor couldn't bear to die, so how could he be the same?

What's more, if everything goes well after returning to Beijing this time? He will soon become a relative of the emperor? Then don't you have to be afraid?

Zhao Liang knew about Heshen and Li Shiyao's holiday, and knew better what Heshen was laughing at now. Of course, he was not laughing at Qianlong, but Heshen was laughing at Li Shiyao.

The emperor suddenly intervened, and no one could see the intention? But everyone was pretending to be deaf and dumb? It can be seen how many people Li Shiyao has offended on a daily basis.

"The emperor was afraid that the result would not have been expected." Zhao Liang poured another glass of wine for Heshen.

Heshen smiled and said, "Isn't that true? This old guy is arrogant and arrogant on weekdays and doesn't know how to be kind to others. This time he suffers a lot."

"No matter how arrogant the emperor is, the face of the court ministers is not so easy to erase."

"Just want to save Li Shiyao again? The emperor must also consider the feelings of the ministers, so this old guy, Li Shiyao, will be peeled off even if he doesn't die."

Heshen remembered the incident two years ago again? Then he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Heshen was punished when he was demoted from a first-rank official to a third-rank official? But he still did his job well. For example, after taking charge of the Chongwen Party’s tax customs, in addition to collecting taxes from dealers in accordance with regulations, he also began to turn his attention to two other groups of people - scholars who went to Beijing for exams and local officials who came to Beijing to report their duties.

The former has no power but no power? He can only think of himself as unlucky. However, many people are very dissatisfied with the latter? A governor complained to Fulong'an and asked Fulong'an to write a letter to impeach Heshen.

After the memorial was submitted, there was no following. Because Heshen's behavior had been approved by Qianlong in advance, Qianlong naturally would not slap himself in the face.

When the officials saw that Fu Longan was in a high position and powerful position, they could only admit that they were unlucky and obediently offered the money when they passed by the Chongwen Sect.

But once, Li Shiyao, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, came to Beijing with tributes dedicated to Qianlong. When he walked to Chongwen Gate, he slapped Heshen in the face.

Li Shiyao was also a favorite minister of Qianlong. He joined the Military Affairs Office at a young age. Heshen, who lived a more popular life than himself, was very disliked, so he naturally refused to pay the money when he passed by.

Li Shiyao's subordinates had a dispute with the tax officials, and the two sides almost started fighting. Someone quickly reported to Heshen. Heshen heard that the person who came was Li Shiyao, so he did not dare to neglect him and personally came forward to negotiate with him.

As a result, Li Shiyao was very rude and looked down on Heshen, who had no real achievements, was arrogant and aggressive.

He also took out a letter, but the letter was not signed, but only a seal was stamped with the four words "Changchun Zhenren" on it, which made Heshen so shocked that he could only bear the urge to send an order to let it go.

Who is Changchun Zhenren? This is Qianlong.

Qianlong was not only the founder of barrage in Chinese history, but also a famous seal-engraving maniac in history. He engraved more than 1,000 seals in his life, and Changchun Zhenren is one of them.

So Li Shiyao entered the city with a arrogant attitude, and Heshen felt very uncomfortable and kept the account in mind.

"Since my brother has already known the emperor's intentions, why don't you hand me a step..."

Zhao Liang said again.

Doing this seems to benefit from more and more.

"Since my brother was ordered by the emperor to investigate Li Shiyao, it would not be my turn to hand over the steps for the emperor."

"The nine ministers' trial cannot be called the emperor's wish, so the next step is that the Li Shiyao case will be sent to various provinces and will be reviewed by the governors and governors of each province."

“When the time…”

Someone will hand over this step to the emperor.

However, after the steps were handed over, the man's reputation and other things were shameful.
