Seeing that the sun has turned west, according to the past, the ministers should have left the palace one after another at this hour, otherwise they would have to miss the time when the Zhengde Gate was closed, but today, the candles in the Zhenghe Hall have been lit early, and the hall is illuminated like day, and it does not make people feel that the sky is almost dark.

After He Changxu learned that Liu Gan was wrongly accused by Zhang Tian, he thought of simply pushing the matter to Liu Gan, after all, he was just a waiter, and if he changed it, he could also ensure that he and the two waiters were safe and sound.

So when He Xian told him that there was a written note, he let He Xian and Pan Wencheng deliberately enter Dali Temple and join forces with Sun Laishi, Wei Xiancai and Zhang Tian.

Sun Laishi doesn't have to worry about him, Zhang Tian's wife and children are in his hands, and even Qi Xian will be pulled by Zhang Tian, so there is no need to worry, but Wei Xiancai makes him very uneasy, but everything is risky, Wei Xiancai is his risk, if this move not only does not win Wei Xiancai together, but makes Wei Xiancai make him high, then he can be regarded as coming to an end.

Wei Xiancai is also a person who understands current affairs, He Changxu got the news, and on the second day, he found a "Shibo" and sent Wei Xiancai a note, which was exactly the same as the one he prepared for Sun Laishi, with Liu Gan's autograph.

No, to be precise, it is a signature that is exactly the same as Liu Gan's handwriting, as Liu Gan said, there are many masters in Beijing, and he is a dignified scholar, where can he not find a master who imitates handwriting.

Everyone's testimony has been unified, and Liu Gan can only admit it in the face of irrefutable evidence and testimony, even if he is unwilling.

But He Changxu didn't expect that Liu Gan was such a crazy person, he thought that Liu Gan would deny it to death, and then the emperor would kill Liu Gan in anger when the human and material evidence was conclusive, and give an explanation to the scholars in the world.

However, Liu Gan was even more able to bend and stretch than he thought, it wasn't him who did it, he actually admitted it. As soon as Liu Gan admits it, then his later words will have a little more credibility, after all, he admitted his crime, and what he said was a confession, which meant confession.

Even though what Liu Gan said was nonsense, his set of rhetoric was actually not leaky and could not find the slightest mistake, the fusion of truth and falsehood has long made people unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood, so half-truths and half-truths sound more true.

Although Liu Gan himself has no evidence, he knows that Zhang Tian's family is indeed threatened by He Changxu, and even in He Changxu's hands, he took Zhang Tian out, this is his evidence, as long as Zhang Tian admits that He Changxu threatened his family, then He Changxu will never be able to escape.

Zhang Tian was named, anxious and afraid, he could only kneel on the ground, eager to hide his head in the crack of the ground, he was afraid, he had grown so big, he had never seen such a scene.

He heard Liu Gan's words clearly, and Liu Gan was not wrong, his family was indeed still in He Changxu's hands, if he told the truth, what if He Changxu killed his wife and children's parents?

But if he doesn't tell the truth, what if the emperor really lets his wife, children, and parents go to the palace? He doesn't know where his family is locked up now, how can he invite him?

He Changxu was also a little panicked at this time, Zhang Tian's family was still in his hands, he had been letting Zhu Da look at it and use it to pinch Zhang Tian, at this time the person was still alive, but Zhang Tian didn't know where the person was, in case he leaked his mouth, all this he planned would be lost.

What's more, if Zhang Tian's family really appeared in the main hall, he would lose control of Zhang Tian, and if Zhang Tian immediately stated the facts, then he would be finished.

Zhuang Yan's gaze swept over everyone in the center of the hall, and everyone's face showed some thoughts to a greater or lesser extent, but there was only one person, where was the pestle like a pillar, from beginning to end, he didn't say a word.

This person is Qi Xian, with the pride of a scholar, and he is also a decent gentleman in appearance and behavior, Zhuang Yan was about to ask him, but saw Qi Xian suddenly knelt down and took a step forward, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Zhang Tian's family was rescued by the Ministry of Rites that day, and now they are being placed in the Shangshu Mansion." ”

He Changxu's brain buzzed, like thousands of bees suddenly breaking through the hive, thinking that he swept madly, his body shook in horror, his head was dizzy, and he almost didn't stop.

Qi Xian, this person's intention couldn't be more obvious, that is, to let him hand over Zhang Tian's family without any resistance, and once Zhang Tian's family appears, where will he still live.

Liu Gan laughed and said: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister remembered, Zhang Tian claimed that the criminal minister threatened his family that day, but Zhang Tian changed his words again, but it was because his family was rescued, the person who rescued his family was the Ministry of Rites, the emperor, right and wrong, I implore the emperor to bring Zhang Tian's family to the palace, how about we confront him face to face?"

If only Liu Gan was accused, maybe few people believed it, but Qi Xian was the first to speak, which made people have to believe it, not to mention that according to He Changxu, he did "save" Zhang Tian's family.

Zhang Tian glanced at Qi Xian gratefully, he was stupid just now, afraid to stand up, He Changxu was forced to kill his family in a hurry, if he didn't stand up, and he was afraid of being asked, he couldn't say anything.

It's okay now, Qi Xian said it for him. Zhang Tian secretly thought that as long as his family appeared in this hall safely, he would immediately confess everything. including the conspiracy of Ho Changxu, Ho Hsien and Pan Wencheng;

Including the alliance between Sun Laishi and Wei Xiancai, and even the fact that he knelt down and begged Qi Xian to give false testimony, he had to confess everything, even if he died, he deserved it, but the innocent person should not be unjustly killed.

He Changxu was already sweating profusely at this time, He Xian and Pan Wencheng were even more frightened, and the two of them were still kneeling on the ground, but they looked at He Changxu's people frequently, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation, if not, then everyone could only suffer together.

He Changxu thought about it, seeing that the emperor was already about to speak, he gritted his teeth and glanced at Shen Qing, things have come to this point, no one should think about being good, just let's go into the water together, and die together.

He suddenly shouted loudly, "Emperor", and then stood in the center of the hall and knelt down, kowtowed, this time, the knock was really heavy, the floor tiles were knocked out, and everyone who listened felt pain, but He Changxu didn't blink his eyes, kowtowed three times in a row, and then raised his head, his forehead was already red.

"Your Majesty, the old minister wants to serve in the Ministry of Officials Liu Gan, in the past few years in office, he has sold hundreds of court official positions, ranging from 20 to 300,000 taels for officials of the third grade and above, 100,000 taels for those below the third grade to the fifth grade, and 50,000 to 80,000 taels for those below the fifth grade. ”

As soon as this voice came out, everyone was in an uproar, the little schadenfreude on Liu Gan's face instantly turned into ashes, he knelt on the ground in a daze, as if his soul had been lost, he knew that his death time had come.

As soon as He Chang's preface came out, Shen Qing secretly said that it was not good, this old horseman, in order to protect himself, actually involved him, it seemed that he couldn't wait any longer, he immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that there is a person who can prove the fact that the Ministry of Rites sells tribute to the number of facts." ”
