Chapter 90: The Nine Thousand Years Old Mansion is confronted in shock
Wang Zhizheng's prediction was not bad at all, early the next morning, Wei Zhongxian sent a team of people to summon Wang Zhizheng into the mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Master Qin didn't return last night, and he didn't know how things were going, Jiang Nai said to Wang Zhizheng: "Great Commander, the situation is not clear now, it is better to find a reason to resign." Wang Zhizheng was not completely sure in his heart, but now, if he can't flinch, it is equivalent to admitting to Wei Zhongxian that he is not clean.
So, Wang Zhizheng smiled at Jiang Nai easily: "Staff Officer Jiang, don't worry, this trip is a matter of success or failure, I must go." So Wang Zhizheng made up his mind, mounted his horse, and followed the guards to the Nine Thousand Years Old Mansion.
Entering the council hall, Wei Zhongxian was already sitting on the throne, and there was no emotion on his face, and almost all the backbones of the eunuch party were all there, standing neatly on both sides of the council hall, revealing a faint murderous aura in the solemn atmosphere like the emperor going to court.
And Ni Wenhuan was standing in the middle with his hands down. Seeing Wang Zhizheng coming in, everyone's eyes focused on Wang Zhizheng's face, everyone's eyes were full of nervousness and excitement, knowing that a good show was about to be staged.
Wang Zhizheng ignored everyone's eyes, he shook his spirits, walked directly to Ni Wenhuan's side, and bowed respectfully to Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian did not tell Wang Zhizheng to be calm today as usual, but looked at Wang Zhizheng who was kneeling under the throne with an expressionless face, and said in a stern and questioning voice: "Wang Zhizheng, I summoned you here today because Ni Wenhuan, the secretary of Taichang Temple, accused you of colluding with Empress Zhang, and there is an ulterior secret behind it. ”
Wang Zhizheng pretended not to hear and said, "The lower officials didn't understand what Jiu Qiansui said?" and then stared at Wei Zhongxian with questioning eyes, Wei Zhongxian nodded, and said to Ni Wenhuan: "Ni Wenhuan, you can repeat what you just exposed Wang Zhizheng." ”
Ni Wenhuan knelt on the ground, bowed to Wei Zhongxian, and then said calmly: "Back to nine thousand years old, here's the thing, because Lord Wang has been protecting Empress Zhang between words recently, and without consultation sent the Praetorian Guards to surround the mansion of Empress Zhang's father, Kang Guogong, the lower officials can't help but wonder if there is some kind of ulterior secret between Lord Wang and Empress Zhang. ”
After that, he turned his head to look at Wang Zhizheng, and saw that Wang Zhizheng didn't seem to be in a hurry to confess. So he continued: "Of course, Xia Guan also understands that when there is no ironclad evidence, all suspicions are not enough to expose a commander of the forbidden army with heavy troops, so Xia Guan did not take further action. ”
After that, he didn't continue to speak, as if waiting for Wang Zhizheng to reply, and then guide Wang Zhizheng to take the bait. But Wang Zhizheng still knelt on the ground and said nothing, as if he hadn't heard.
Ni Wenhuan saw that Wang Zhizheng didn't speak, so he stood up and walked around Wang Zhizheng: "Lord Wang, do you take the initiative to explain the next thing, or do you ask the official and you answer?"
Wang Zhizheng raised his head and looked at Ni Wenhuan as if he didn't understand: "Lord Ni, what do you want to say, please finish it at once, I still have military affairs with me, and after I finish speaking, I have to go back to the house on an errand." ”
Wei Zhongxian nodded and said to Ni Wenhuan: "Ni Wenhuan, since you are the first complainant, then go on." ”
Ni Wenhuan smiled slightly and said, "Since Lord Wang refuses to say it, then I will continue." Yesterday, I heard that the queen mother went out of the palace to visit her seriously ill uncle Qi Guogong in the mansion of Qi Guogong, so she took it upon herself to arrest Feng Sanwen, the personal eunuch of the queen mother, and wanted to get some clues from Feng Sanwen in the end. ”
As soon as the words fell, Wang Zhizheng stood up and looked at Ni Wenhuan as if he didn't know him: "Lord Ni, what did you just say? You arrested the queen's eunuch privately?
When Ni Wenhuan heard this, he shouted in his heart: It's not good, Wang Zhizheng must be planning to deny it, saying that he doesn't know about it.
So, Ni Wenhuan sneered: "Lord Wang, you don't want to say, you don't know, right?"
Wang Zhizheng looked at Ni Wenhuan with a confused expression: "Lord Ni, you arrested the queen's eunuch, do you plan to torture to extract a confession, let him confess, I have any collusion with the queen, right? This trick is very powerful, Lord Ni has always been known for being good at torture, you must have already obtained the confession letter, right? Okay, then you can take it out, anyway, I, Wang Zhizheng, didn't do anything wrong, and I'm not afraid of you biting." ”
When Ni Wenhuan heard this, it seems that you are planning to skip the matter of chasing and robbing me with the forbidden army, hehe, how can it be so simple. So Ni Wenhuan laughed: "Lord Wang, I see that you have the ability to deny it, okay, then let me tell the nine thousand years old, you Wang Zhizheng led the forbidden army to the gate of Dali Temple to snatch Feng Sanwen, and during the fight, Feng Sanwen's head hit the stone head and burst to death!"
After that, he looked at Wei Zhongxian, who had a look of surprise on his face: "Nine thousand years old, I just want to ask Wang Zhizheng, since you didn't hook up with the queen, why did you rush to snatch Feng Sanwen with the Praetorian Guards after hearing that I arrested Feng Sanwen, and kill people in a hurry? Since you didn't do anything wrong, why are you so afraid of asking?"
Wang Zhizheng's face was full of incredulity: "What? You killed the personal eunuch of the queen mother?"
Ni Wenhuan was furious: "What do you mean that I killed him? Do you want to deny it during the fight?"
Wang Zhizheng turned his face to look at Wei Zhongxian, and fell to his knees with a thud: "Nine thousand years old, my grandson is really a little confused this time, he said that I sent the forbidden army to rob Feng Sanwen, and my grandson swears, I don't even know about his arrest of Feng Sanwen, how can I send someone to pursue it? Besides, Lord Ni wants to arrest Feng Sanwen, how can I let me smell the letter in advance, and then come to rob Feng Sanwen? Sun Er only feels that it is illogical everywhere, and it is ridiculous that he actually came to frame Sun Er without preparing the physical witnesses!"
Wei Zhongxian was now a little suspicious of Ni Wenhuan in his heart, but he couldn't show any partiality, so he said majestically: "You tell me honestly, did you send someone to pursue Ni Wenhuan?"
Wang Zhizheng said rhetorically: "Since Ni Wenhuan said that I sent someone to pursue him, then ask him to bring out human and physical evidence!"
Wei Zhongxian nodded and looked at Ni Wenhuan, who was full of atmosphere: "Ni Wenhuan, you take out the evidence!"
Ni Wenhuan turned around and shouted to the door: "Bring up the human and physical evidence!"
A few small guards at the door brought three guards and brought up a corpse wrapped in straw mats.
Ni Wenhuan walked over and took off the veil of the corpse: "This is Feng Sanwen's corpse, it was because of Wang Zhizheng's snatching that Feng Sanwen died." ”
Wang Zhizheng walked over and looked at the dead corpse, with an unreasonable expression: "This dead corpse is the queen's little eunuch? ”
Ni Wenhuan gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, you three come and talk about what happened that day." Wang Ergou, you can say it first!"
So, Wang Zhizheng stared at the guard of Dali Temple, listening carefully to what came out of his mouth.
All eyes were on the poor guard.
The guard named Wang Ergou pounced and knelt down under Wei Zhongxian's throne: "Nine thousand years old, here's the thing, Lord Ni took us to arrest Feng Sanwen, and we caught Feng Sanwen at the gate of the Qiguo Mansion together. As a result, I haven't returned to Dali Temple yet......"
Wang Zhizheng's heart thumped to his throat, Wei Zhongxian also stared at Wang Ergou tightly, but Ni Wenhuan stared at Wang Ergou with an imperative expression.
Wang Ergou was under too much pressure, so he simply put his head on the ground: "As a result, before he 、、、 returned to Dali Temple, Wang Ergou fell off his horse, and his head hit the stone pier on the side of the road, killing him on the spot!"
As soon as the words fell, Ni Wenhuan was shocked, and he pounced viciously and grabbed the guard's placket: "What the are you talking about?
At this time, Wang Zhizheng secretly sighed to himself. At this time, Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, looked at the guards and sneered: "Lord Ni, look at this scene, did you threaten the guards to commit perjury? Hehe, you didn't expect it, after seeing 9,000 years old, let alone a small guard, even I, Cui Chengxiu, would not dare to give you perjury! Who else dares to give you perjury by talking nonsense!"
Ni Wenhuan pushed the guards to the ground, then turned around and stared at Cui Chengxiu with red eyes: "Cui Chengxiu, could it be that you are making trouble?
Wang Zhizheng smiled: "Lord Ni, you will say in a moment that this is in collusion with this, that is in collusion with that, I don't understand, what are you trying to do? Could it be that after you kill a 9,000-year-old person, can you replace 9,000 years old?"
Wang Zhizheng instigated these few sentences, which hit Wei Zhongxian's weakness, Wei Zhongxian's face became cold, and he slapped the table: "Ni Wenhuan! Since you have exposed Wang Zhizheng, you can't even get a single piece of human and physical evidence, and you actually bite Cui Chengxiu! What kind of heart do you have?!"
Ni Wenhuan saw that Wei Zhongxian was angry, and pounced on the ground: "Nine thousand years old, Ni Wenhuan did not say half a lie about what he exposed today, if there is half a lie, he is willing to die here immediately!"
Cui Chengxiu smiled: "Lord Ni, you seem to have forgotten that if you are falsely accused, you are already dying, what is the use of you swearing by your worthless life gambling curse!"
Ni Wenhuan was furious, grabbed the guard just now with red eyes, and the guard's neck was immediately broken by him, and he fell to the ground and died without snorting.
Wang Zhizheng shouted: "Escort!"
Then more than a dozen guards pulled out big knives and surrounded Ni Wenhuan in the middle, Wei Zhongxian slapped the table and stood up: "Ni Wenhuan, you dare to commit murder in front of this king!"
Ni Wenhuan was so anxious that he once fell to his knees with a thud: "Nine thousand years old, Ni Wenhuan is loyal, you must not be deceived by villains!"
