Chapter 363: The He Family is Over
Zheng Heng listened, shook his head and said: "Even if He Yingtang can't turn over, he definitely doesn't want to involve the Ye family, and he doesn't need to spend experience in this matter." ”
Although there are so many things pointing to the He family, He Yingtang must feel that the He family has lost in vain, and he will definitely not be reconciled, thinking that someone will seek justice for the He family and clear the charges.
The matter is so serious that ordinary people can't resist it, but the Ye family, an ally of the He family, still has such hope.
She had thought about dragging the Ye family into the water from the mouths of He Yingtang and Concubine He De, but after careful consideration, she felt that this plan was not feasible.
The He family and the Ye family are close allies, she can think of this matter, and Ye Xian, as the person concerned, must be able to think of it, maybe she has already taken precautions.
What's more, He Yingtang can think of it himself.
He Yingtang has climbed from a pawn to this position, and there is no shortage of means, mental vision, and now the reason why he will be in the middle game is because he lost the opportunity.
This opportunity was snatched away by her, because she was the Empress Dowager Zheng, and she was still dead and alive.
How could He Yingtang not know the current situation of the He family? He knew that even if he confessed to the Ye family, he would not be able to change the death of the He family.
How could a smart person do things that hurt others and benefit himself? Maybe he can't say anything, he can sell the favor of the Ye family, and he can also benefit the heirs of the He family.
Therefore, He Yingtang doesn't have to think about it.
If this game can successfully knock He Yingtang down, it will be enough, and there is no need to make trouble.
As Zheng Heng expected, so many things happened in Gyeonggi Wei, He Yingtang was finished, and the He family was finished.
No matter how He Yingtang defended his grievances in front of Emperor Zhiyou, it was useless.
Emperor Zhiyou no longer believed him at all, and did not give him a chance to return to Gyeonggi Wei to find out the truth, but directly put him in prison in the Criminal Department, and ordered Guo Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to go for interrogation in order to find the rest of the soldiers who disappeared.
Guo Ying, the deputy general of the Gyeonggi Guard, committed suicide in fear of crime, and He Yingtang's other confidants either did not know the burial place or denied revenge, all of which made Emperor Zhiyou deeply dissatisfied.
The emperor hoped that Guo Yong would be able to pry open He Yingtang's mouth and find the other soldiers who had disappeared.
Guo Yong quickly went to the boss of the criminal department and instructed the jailer guarding the prison: "You all stand down, and this official will interrogate General He alone." ”
Hearing this, the jailers quickly retreated. - Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War presided over General He, and they have all received the order.
For a while, there were only two people left in this prison, Guo Yong and He Yingtang.
He Yingtang was not shackled, after all, he was the general of Gyeonggi Guard, even now that he was imprisoned, the prison guards of the Criminal Department did not dare to humiliate him.
His hands and feet moved freely, his eyes were full of resentment, but he did not struggle to resist.
He knew that if he resisted and escaped from the prison of the Criminal Department, the situation would be even more serious, and if he obediently stayed in the prison of the Criminal Department and cooperated with the interrogation of the Criminal Department, perhaps the heirs of the He family would still have a way to live.
It's just that he is already in prison, how good can the rest of the He family be?
It is inevitable that the heirs will be deprived of their posts and sent into exile, and their daughters will be exiled.
He Yingtang shrank in the corner of the cell, his eyes resentful, but also an indescribable blankness.
yes, dazed.
From the time he left Gyeonggi Wei to the time he was imprisoned in his cell, that is, in just a few days, it was so sudden and fast that it was a foregone conclusion before he had time to think about anything, and he had no power to resist.
How did all this happen?
The search of the Taiyeji Assassins and Zuo Yiwei, the subsequent Gyeonggi Guard riot, the disappearance of many soldiers, and finally the discovery of those bodies in the mass grave, these things are so closely connected that there is almost no gap to stop, and he can't believe it if there is no one behind the push.
But who is the person behind this? When did the He family offend such a powerful person?
He Yingtang couldn't figure it out when he thought about it.
Seeing Guo Yong coming, he pulled the corners of his mouth and repeated those words countless times: "Lord Guo, Ben Jiang didn't do those things, those Gyeonggi Wei soldiers who disappeared must be hiding somewhere, Ben Jiang didn't kill these people." ”
Guo Yong smiled, nodded approvingly, and said, "Of course this official believes in the general. The general is a smart man, and of course he would not do such a stupid thing. It's just that the emperor's order is difficult, and the official still has to come and ask the general. ”
Guo Yong's words are true, he really believes in He Yingtang, unless He Yingtang is crazy, he will kill so many soldiers.
It's just that neither Gyeonggi Wei nor Zuo Yiwei have found the rest of the soldiers now, and he also doesn't believe that these soldiers can evade tracking and hide so secretly.
He even believed that these soldiers were killed, not by He Yingtang, but by other people, the purpose was to kill He Yingtang.
It's just that he doesn't have much connection with the He family, and he can't be guilty of angering the emperor for He Yingtang, so he didn't say anything.
Of course, when he came to the prison of the Criminal Department this time, he didn't really come to interrogate He Yingtang, but had something else.
He took out a letter from his hand and handed it to He Yingtang: "General, this official is here, I am entrusted by someone to hand over a letter to the general, please read it, and return it to this official." ”
He Yingtang glanced at him suspiciously: Who can make the military department Shangshu? Or at this time?
He thought about it, but still took the letter, and when he opened it, his face changed slightly.
Immediately, he closed the letter, looked at Guo Yong expressionlessly, and asked, "Lord Guo, what does this mean?"
Guo Yong's face remained unchanged, and he replied: "General, Lord Ye asked the official to tell you that the matter has come to this point, and the He family has no skills to return to heaven, and please take care of the family's heirs." The only thing he can do for the general is to take care of the general's family and seek justice for the He family in the future. ”
When He Yingtang heard this, he clenched the letter tightly, the green tendons on the back of his hand were exposed, and the letter was about to be caught.
The next moment, he said coldly: "So, the person who is dealing with the He family behind his back is the Pei family?"
In this letter, Ye Xian elaborated on his speculation about these things of the He family, and analyzed the similarities between this handwriting and the previous handwriting against the Ye family:
The same huge number of people, the same tight fit, the same subtlety, and the same short time that caught people off guard......
In the end, it came down to the same group of people who dealt with the He family and the Ye family.
Earlier, Ye Xian guessed that it was the Pei family in Hedong who was targeting the Ye family at that time, only the He family had such ability, and he also said the reason why the He family suffered, that is, Pei Guang and Tao Yuanqing even made friends!
Tao Yuanqing was not angry that He Yingtang had killed so many of his henchmen and cronies, so he would unite with Pei Guang to make this move!
For such a reason, He Yingtang hadn't thought of it before, he couldn't think of the Pei family at all, but what Ye Xian said was not unreasonable......
Of course, he knew that the main reason why Ye Xian sent this letter was to ask him to be cautious and not to involve the Ye family, so he also promised to take care of the conditions of the He family.
He handed the letter back to Guo Yong and said, "Lord Guo, please go back and talk to Lord Ye, just say what he means, Ben will understand." Ben will not talk nonsense, but please ask Lord Ye to carefully investigate whether this matter of the He family is really related to the Pei family, Ben will wait!"
Although he is now imprisoned, he must always know who the enemy is!
If the people who are dealing with the He family behind their backs are really Hedong Pei, even if he is dead, he will definitely not let these people go!
He still has so many henchmen, the He family, and heirs, to take revenge...... Ten years is not too late!
At this time, He Yingtang, who was in the prison of the Criminal Department, did not know that the soldiers of Zuo Yiwei had besieged the He family and were about to ask the He family for their crimes!
Hunter's eyes widened as he looked at the Zuo Yiwei soldiers who rushed in, and his whole body was trembling.
