Liu Minfang's expression was slightly paused, as if she didn't know what Liu Shen was asking, and wrote with her eyes slightly lowered: "What did my father say?"

Liu Shen looked at Liu Minfang tightly, with three points of intense and three points of inquiry in his eyes, as if he wanted to see everything about her without concealment: "Why did you ask about Liu Jingyi and your grandfather?"

Liu Minfang wrote: "Although Mrs. Liu married into the Zheng Guo Mansion, but her surname is Liu, now that the Wen family has overturned, she will definitely be difficult to preserve, the Wen family is imprisoned for colluding with the Wu family to plot rebellion, I am afraid that they will implicate the Liu family." ”

Liu Shen watched Liu Minfang write in the palm of his hand one by one, and when he saw clearly what she wrote, his eyebrows tightened: "Is this really the case?"

Liu Minfang paused on her hand, looked up at him and nodded.

Su Shi stood behind the father and daughter, and when he saw Liu Shen's appearance, he couldn't help but speak: "Master, what's wrong with you? Could it be that the Wen family's affairs will really implicate our Liu family?"

Liu Shen looked at the Su family, who looked a little flustered, and then saw Liu Minfang's calm appearance, as if he really just asked casually just now, and then he pressed the suspicion that arose in an instant just now into the depths of his heart, and said to the two: "Just like Minfang said, her surname is Liu, and she is also from the Liu family, and this matter will more or less involve the Liu family." ”

After he finished speaking, he saw that both of them had worried looks on their faces, so he comforted: "It's just that you don't need to worry too much, after all, she has been married into the Wen family for so many years, although she has not been named a husband, but after all, she is the Wen family, and the Wen and Liu families have rarely interacted with each other over the years, Your Majesty is a wise person, and you will not implicate the innocent." ”

Su Shi didn't understand the affairs of the government, and when he heard Liu Shen's words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "That's good, that's good, as long as it's okay." You were just called by your father to give you a lecture, and I'm afraid you haven't eaten anything yet, so I'll go to the small kitchen and make some for you. ”

"I'll go to the study. ”

"Okay, then I'll send it to you when I'm ready. ”

Su Shi pinched the handkerchief and called the maid to leave together, and Liu Shen got up and prepared to go to the study, but after just two steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Liu Minfang.

Liu Minfang didn't expect Liu Shen to turn back suddenly, the worry and fear on his face didn't have time to restrain at all, and he was directly looked at by Liu Shen.

Facing Liu Shen's eyes, Liu Minfang was momentarily flustered, and quickly got up and bit her lip tightly, her fingers twisted Jinpa, and her fingertips were nervously white.

Liu Shen looked at such a daughter, his expression was a little complicated, and the suspicion he had suppressed rose again, and he was almost sure that Liu Minfang really knew something she shouldn't know.

Seeing her uneasy look, Liu Shen didn't ask her anything like before, but slowly said: "Minfang, since your grandfather will sit and watch the Wen family fall into such a situation, it means that he has already made a decision about today's affairs, the Wen and Liu families have nothing to do with each other, and the Wen family's rebellion has nothing to do with the Liu family." ”

"Even if the Wen family bites, the Liu family will be injured at most, and it will never collapse, Your Majesty will not allow the Wen and Liu families to have an accident at the same time, you don't have to worry. ”

Liu Minfang's eyes widened, and she wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't make a sound.

Liu Shen reached out and touched his daughter's long hair, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

……

……

All the people of the Wen family were arrested, and the century-old Guogong Mansion was once devastated.

The situation in Beijing is changing so quickly that people are almost caught off guard.

The Wu family is not a bold person, he has been frightened in the small Buddha hall before, and now he has learned that the Wu family has rebelled, and she is the only one in the entire Wu family who is still in Beijing, plus Wen Luxian is seriously injured and dying, Feng Qizhou almost just said a few words casually, and the Wu family explained how Liu Jingyi let her go out of the house in the dark before, and how she sent a letter to the Wu family.

The Wu family was the hub of the connection between the Wu family and the Wen family, although the Wu family did not all the things that the Wu family did for the Wen family, although the Wu family did not know all of them, but they also knew that seven or eight out of ten of them, whether it was Wu Shijun's transfer of Yang Hui to recruit troops for the Wen family, or the Wu family took advantage of the convenience of Yang Hui in recent years, so that his subordinates could enter and leave the land of Western Xinjiang as if they were no one, seek huge profits for the Wen family, buy courtiers, cultivate secret guards, and secretly assist the Eighth Emperor to intervene in the government, and even wanted to use the hands of the Eighth Prince to ascend to the throne, so that the people of the Wen family could return to the glory of the year。

Any one of them is enough to kill the Wen family.

After Feng Qizhou got the confession drawn by the Wu family, he found a doctor and ordered someone to hang Wen Luxian's life, in case it would be useful later, but he did not enter the palace directly, but after taking a look at the paper, he pulled out one of them.

Wu Rong stood aside, seeing Feng Qizhou confessing to the relationship between the Wen family and the Liu family, and even how the Wen and Liu families conspired to assist the Eighth Prince, and even the confession of the two families who had privately solicited courtiers over the years to take a closer look at it in his hand, he couldn't help but smile and said: "This time the Wen family has an accident, the Liu family will definitely not be able to escape, with this confession, Your Majesty will definitely not let go of the Liu family......"

Hiss –

Before Wu Rong finished speaking, he saw Feng Qizhou's hand forcefully tearing the confession in half, his eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly snatched the torn paper in Feng Qizhou's hand and said a little jumpy: "Lord Feng, what are you doing, why did you tear up this confession? If there is no such thing, how can we convict the Liu family, and how can we pull the Liu family into the water?!"

"We finally found a chance to catch them all, how can you tear them ......up?"

Wu Rong hurriedly wanted to find a paste to glue the confession together, but Feng Qizhou said: "Don't bother with it, this thing is not needed." ”

Wu Rong looked at the confession that was torn and crumpled into a ball and couldn't even read the handwriting clearly, and muttered: "It's all like this, this thing really can't be used, it seems that I have to go to the Wu family to write another ......."

"No need. ”

"Why don't you use it, I can't see it clearly......"

"When I say no, I mean that this confession cannot be used, and this thing cannot be handed over to His Majesty. ”

Wu Rongyuan was still thinking about going to prison and asking Wu to write a confession again, but when he heard Feng Qizhou say that this confession could not be used, he looked up a little stunned: "Why?"

Feng Qizhou looked at him: "Lord Wu, do you know the relationship between our majesty and the Wen and Liu families?"

"When he ascended the throne, there was a secret, and the death of the first emperor was also suspicious, and the Wen and Liu families must be people who knew about this matter, in other words, these two families must have His Majesty's handle in their hands, so they can stay in peace to this day. ”

"Now the affairs of the Wen family, whether in the eyes of outsiders or in the eyes of His Majesty, are because the Wen family is too ambitious and not satisfied with the status quo to rebel with the Wu family, but if even the Liu family is implicated, and even in the name of rebellion, when the time comes, with the suspicion of Emperor Yongzhen, will he believe that the Wen and Liu families have joined forces, or will he believe that someone is deliberately plotting against the two families, and even wants to use the hands of the two families to involve the affairs of the first emperor back then?"

Feng Qizhou stretched out his hand to sort out the remaining confessions, and said lightly: "Now the Liu family has abandoned the Wen family, and is even willing to fall into the ground, but once this confession is sent, the Wen and Liu families will definitely join forces, and when the time comes, Emperor Yongzhen will be suspicious, maybe he will leave a way for the two families to live, rather than this, it is better to completely cut off the Wen family first." ”

Wu Rong listened to Feng Qizhou's words and frowned tightly: "That Liu family ......"

"Liu Xiangcheng is a smart man, he must have been prepared for today's events, if today's affairs involve the Liu family, he will definitely have a backhand to overturn the case for the Wen family, and even use the handle in his hands to blackmail His Majesty into submission, unless His Majesty is willing to risk turning over the old things of the year and kill the people of the Wen and Liu families, otherwise he will compromise. ”

"On the contrary, if the Liu family is okay today, what do you think will happen to Liu Xiangcheng?"

Wu Rong opened his mouth and subconsciously said: "The first strike is strong, so that the Wen family can no longer open their mouths." ”

After the words fell, Wu Rong looked at Feng Qizhou with wide eyes: "Lord Feng means ......"

"Instead of risking exposing himself and forcing the Wen and Liu families to join forces, it is better to use their strength to let the Liu family go for the time being. When Liu Xiangcheng made a move before, he blamed the Wen family for the fraud in the scientific examination, and he was already broken, and as long as Liu Xiangcheng made another attack on the Wen family, even if we didn't do anything, the Liu family would have laid the root of the curse. ”

"The Liu family does not have the deep foundation of the Wen family, and it is not like the Wen family has the Wu family's troops in hand, without the Wen family and the eighth prince, the people of the Liu family can no longer be afraid. ”

Wu Rong listened to Feng Qizhou's words and immediately understood what he meant, and had to admit that Feng Qizhou's concerns were thorough, rather than taking the risk to wipe out the Wen and Liu families, it was better to end the Wen family's affairs first, break the Liu family's arm, and then it would be much easier to deal with the Liu family.

He stretched out his hand and flipped through the confession, and found that although the confession was missing a page, it was still smooth before and after, and he couldn't see that there was a paragraph missing in the middle, Wu Rong knew that Feng Qizhou was afraid that he had already made such a plan before interrogating the Wu family.

Wu Rong couldn't help but ask, "Lord Feng, although you have a thorough plan, what about the Eighth Prince?"

The affairs of the Wen family are inseparable from the Eighth Prince, and even the Wen family is ostensibly to assist the Eighth Emperor to get to the point where it is today, once this matter involves the Eighth Prince, involving the royal party/dispute, Emperor Yongzhen will definitely investigate it carefully, and the Liu family will not be able to escape at that time?

When the time comes, will the Liu family still be forced to join forces with the Wen family to fight back?

Feng Qizhou packed up the packed confession and the confession he had taken from Mama Jin before, and couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words: "I'm afraid Lord Wu hasn't heard the news of our Eighth Prince for a long time, right?"

Wu Rong was stunned: "What's wrong with the Eighth Prince?"

Feng Qizhou straightened his robe and stood up and said: "The Eighth Prince was already sick and couldn't get out of bed more than a month ago, and now the entire Tai Hospital is guarding Yiyuntai, and the news that the Eighth Prince is critically ill will come out from time to time. You said that the Wen family said that they were doing this to assist a sick man who would die at any time, would Your Majesty believe it?"

Wu Rong's mouth opened wide when he heard this.

Damn, is there still this way?

"Our Eighth Prince is shrewd. ”

As early as the moment Xiao Yuanzhu decided to abandon the Wen family, he had already found a way to leave himself out of the Wen family, even if it was to send the Wu family's confession, Emperor Yongzhen was suspicious of Xiao Yuanzhu, and even suspected that his filial piety and cleanliness over the years were disguised, but in the face of a prince who may die at any time, or even the only bloodline left in the world by his "beloved", even if Emperor Yongzhen is jealous and angry, what can he do?

Could he still be like he killed the second prince Xiao Luohe back then, and asked for Xiao Yuanzhu's life without hesitation?

Feng Qizhou sneered in his heart.

In the final analysis, Xiao Yuanzhu was gambling with his own illness and his own life, betting that Emperor Yongzhen would keep him, and even connived at him for that person.

Wu Rong looked at Feng Qizhou's suddenly gloomy expression, and couldn't help but whisper: "Lord Feng... What's wrong with you?"

Feng Qizhou lowered his eyes slightly: "It's okay, let's go, we should also enter the palace to face the saint." ”

In any case, it is also time to settle the affairs of the Wen family, put an end to the war in the southwest as soon as possible, and take Qingqing home.

……

……

After Feng Qizhou and Wu Rong entered the palace, they submitted all the confessions of Wu and Jin Mama to the Holy Front, and Emperor Yongzhen not only smashed everything in front of him, but even the little eunuch with the tea was accidentally spilled tea because he was afraid, and was dragged out for beheading.

Emperor Yongzhen had long known that there must be more than one or two things about the Wen family, but when all these things were presented in front of him, he knew that the Wen family had been docile on the surface over the years, but secretly concealed how many things he had done.

If it weren't for the sudden exposure of the fraud in the scientific examination, if it weren't for Wen Zhenghong's imprisonment, and even his idea of killing him, which made Liu Jingyi uneasy, and wanted to force the Wu family to save people, and forced the Wu family to turn against them and directly raise troops to rebel in Yanghui, these things would have been hidden.

If he really waited until the Wen family was full-fledged, I was afraid that when the Yanghui army came directly to the city, even his throne would be completely swept away by the Wen family.

Emperor Yongzhen leaned on the dragon chair, his chest continued to rise and fall, his face was full of gloomy, he looked up at Feng Qizhou and Wu Rong, and said in a cold voice: "Besides, what else?"

Feng Qizhou said in a low voice: "The minister only interrogated the Wu family and Liu Jingyi's personal grandmother, so the matter involved the eighth prince, the minister did not dare to delay, so he directly entered the palace with Lord Wu to present it to His Majesty, as for Liu Jingyi's side, the minister and Lord Wu have not yet had time to judge." ”

Wu Rong also said on the side: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers and the others will interrogate Liu Jingyi when they go back later, and the Wen family's affairs will be tried clearly." ”

Emperor Yongzhen looked at the expressions of the two of them carefully when he heard this, and saw that neither of them seemed to be fake, so he directly said with a cold look in his eyes: "What kind of trial is the trial, the rebellion of the Wu family is a fact, Liu Jingyi fornicated with the Wu family, Wen Zhenghong is even more unforgivable, I have taken care of the friendship of the emperor all these years, and I will tolerate the Wen family everywhere, but who knows that they don't know how to thank the Holy Grace, they actually did such a deceitful and rebellious thing, and now the evidence of the crime is conclusive, but they still dare to bite the eighth prince!"

"Come, preach the message. ”

"Zheng Guogong Wen Zhenghong disregarded the grace of the saint, had no heart to be a minister, and took the matter of selecting talents in the court for his own benefit, exempted him from his title, and gave him death!"

"The Wenmen Liu clan has no virtue as a woman, is not restless in the inner house, fornicates with Wu thieves, conspires against the criminal, takes his life, and gives him death!"

"The Wen family, whoever has an official name, will be robbed of his official body, removed from his official position, and will never be recruited. The men of the Wen family are enslaved, and the female dependents are not official slaves, and the heirs are not allowed to take scientific examinations within five generations, and they are not allowed to enter the office!"
