Seeing that the sun has set in the west, the sky is dark and dreary as if it is going to rain at any time, but it can't fall, and it makes people feel sulky in their hearts.

The hall is also dull, the ministers are silent, no one dares to speak out, everyone is in a mess in their hearts, this was originally just a matter of raising people to make a big fuss in the tribute court, and it will be enough to arrest the troublemakers, but no one thought that it would develop to such a point, and even involved the sale of official positions in the ministry.

Not to mention whether there is really evidence to prove this matter, but many people know that once it is involved, there are more than a few people involved.

It's no small thing.

The guards soon took two men, one old and one young, to the hall, and the two knelt down and kowtowed three times, and the father and son were naturally Huang Yaotian and Huang Weiwen.

He Changxu's original frightened heart, after seeing Huang Yaotian's father and son, his heart suddenly breathed a big sigh of relief, and after the two of them kowtowed, he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister still wants to participate in Shen Qing's book, he dares to deceive the emperor, this is not Huang Yaotian and Huang Weiwen at all, this is a great crime of bullying the emperor." ”

Shen Qing was puzzled: "What does Lord He mean by this? How can you be sure that this is not Huang Yaotian and Huang Weiwen? Didn't Lord He say that he had never met the Huang family's father and son, and what is the reason for this conclusion?"

He Changxu was choked by the question, his mind spun around quickly, and then he snorted: "Since you said that Huang Yaotian and his son have returned to their hometown, it has only taken ten days since the people raised a lot of trouble in the Gongyuan Courtyard, and it is too late for you to take people back to the capital, these two people are obviously impersonated by you." ”

These two people are indeed not Huang Yaotian and Huang Weiwen, the real people have been dead for three years, and they have become white bones, He Changxu knows now that Shen Qing has no evidence at all, and it is very easy to prove that these two people are not Huang Yaotian himself, and some of Huang Yaotian's fellow villagers have human witnesses.

"Oh?" Shen Qing smiled, "I also said that Lord He knew that the real Huang Yaotian family had all died, so he would be so sure." ”

He Changxu chuckled in his heart, he always felt as if he had fallen into a trap, but he couldn't see it, and he said to Zhuang Yan again: "Your Majesty, the old minister just thinks that it can't be such a coincidence, Huang Yaotian and his son are in Beijing, and even in the palace, and the identities of these two people have yet to be verified." ”

The smile on Shen Qing's face became even worse, "Of course there is no such coincidence, in fact, these two are indeed not Huang Yaotian's father and son, because Huang Yaotian's family was already killed by you on the way back to his hometown three years ago." ”

"Shen Qing, don't talk nonsense, you said it all, what evidence do you have? What's more, your words are equivalent to admitting that you have committed the crime of defrauding the king. He Changxu said to Zhuang Yan: "Your Majesty, Shen Qing is suspicious, he has just admitted that these two people are not Huang Yaotian's father and son, so it can be seen that none of his words are true. ”

Shen Qing smiled and said, "Hahaha, Lord He, do you think I have the courage to deceive the emperor?"

He Changxu was unclear at first, but after seeing Zhuang Yan's cold face, he had a clue and immediately understood.

Yes, Shen Qing didn't have the guts, this fake Huang Yaotian father and son were known and acquiesced by the emperor, could it be that he wanted to deceive him? Could it be that the emperor doubted himself from the beginning?

He Changxu felt that the clothes on his entire back were wet, and before he could think about how to shirk it, Shen Qing continued:

Although these two people are not Huang Yaotian's father and son, they can be friends with Huang Yaotian's family, and Huang Yaotian wrote a letter to his hometown before returning to his hometown, in which he explained He Changxu's various crimes.

Your Majesty, there is a letter, please take a look. This letter is written by Huang Yaotian, as the local prefect, Huang Yaotian must have seen a lot of excerpts on the table, as long as a comparison, it can be proved that this letter is indeed Huang Yaotian's own letter. ”

The old man who was kneeling on the ground knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the grass people implore the emperor to avenge the Huang family."

Yaotian mentioned in the letter that he was afraid that He Changxu would kill him, and after receiving the letter, the grass people hurriedly sent a carriage to pick up people, but it was feasible for more than a month, and they were about to enter Beijing, but they had never met Yaotian's family, and the grass people thought that their family must be more than lucky.

In the following three years, the grass people also sent people to inquire around, but there was no news, and the family of six disappeared out of thin air. Your Majesty, they must have been killed. During Huang Yaotian's tenure, he was diligent and honest, and he was a rare good official, but he died unjustly, and he didn't look blind to death, and the grass people implored the emperor to avenge Huang Yaotian's family. ”

Zhuang Yan looked at He Changxu with a cold gaze, and after a long time, he commanded sharply: "Come on, take the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the left and right servants into the heavenly prison to wait for processing, and the cabinet will immediately find out the excerpts on Huang Yaotian's table. ”

"The old minister obeyed. The second assistant Li Xiangda took the lead in giving up.

No matter how angry Qiu Wanao was, he had to arch his hand at this time: "Minister... Compliance. As soon as the words fell, several other pavilion elders also chimed in.

Seeing that the emperor had given an order, Zhang Tian was concerned about his family, and at this time he also had the courage to kowtow and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Tian, the grass people, implore the emperor to save the grass people's family, the grass people's family of five was arrested by He Changxu, he threatened the lives of his family members, and asked the grass people to make perjury, and the grass people had no choice but to be at his mercy." The grass people didn't dare to speak out at first, because they were afraid that he would jump over the wall and kill the grass people's wives and children. ”

As soon as Zhang Tian spoke, Sun Laishi also knew that the matter had reached this point, and it was a foregone conclusion, so he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and described the matter again, which was nothing more than how he was coerced by He Changxu and had to give false testimony or something. As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Xiancai also confessed.

Liu Gan didn't expect that there was still room for things to turn around, one moment he thought that he had entered the ghost gate with one foot, but the next moment, there was suddenly a bright light in front of him, his face was red with excitement, and his eyes were full of provocation and smugness and schadenfreude when he looked at He Changxu.

The original perfect plan was shattered in an instant, He Changxu knelt on the ground like ashes, seeing Liu Gan's appearance, he gritted his teeth with hatred, anyway, he was already a dying person, he was unwilling to let Shen Qing and Liu Gan be safe and sound.

"Your Majesty, the guilty ministers deserve death, but the fact that the guilty ministers participated in the purchase of officials by other officials is true, Your Majesty, the officials are a cancer, if they are not removed, it will endanger the entire Western Night. Liu Gan's unwilling voice echoed in the hall, miserable and sad.

Shen Qing hurriedly retorted: "Your Majesty, He Changxu is full of nonsense, and none of it is true, please don't be fooled by him." ”

Xin Zhongqiao gave Cao Wanli a look, Cao Wanli nodded slightly, and then made a look with several other people, so, just after Shen Qing's words fell, a minister stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister wants Shen Qing, the secretary of the Ministry of Staff, he is a traitor, sells official positions, forms a party for personal gain, and his crime is unforgivable. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers also want to Shen Qing, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers also want to visit Shen Qing. ”

。。。

For a while, in the main hall, more than a dozen people stood up, and the caliber was very unified.

Shen Qing was at a loss for what to do, he was stunned for a long time, before he remembered that he wanted to shout grievances, and immediately knelt down to plead, but he heard Zhuang Yan say angrily: "The Criminal Department and Dali Temple listen to the order, and I order you to go to the Ministry of Officials immediately to thoroughly investigate the betrayal of officials in the Ministry of Officials." ”

Uncle Wu and Dou Guan stood up one after another to receive orders.

Qiu Wanao stared at Xin Zhongqiao with a pair of cold eyes, Xin Zhongqiao just chuckled, this is called, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, hahaha.
