Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Truth of Appearances
After hearing this, Lord Du looked at Ning Mo meaningfully: "Lord Fu Yin, do you have anything to say?" ”
Ning Mo's eyes were split, but he was helpless. What Wang Wu said www.biquge.info was the truth, and at that time, in order to make him believe their words, he ordered someone to reveal his identity to Wang Wu. thought that the matter was over, and Wang Wu was safe. Who knew that he would be bitten back on the spot.
"Lord Du, the words of such a vicious villain are not enough to be trusted. There are many suspicious points in this case, and in my opinion, it is better to withdraw from the court first and try it again the next day. Ning Moqiang smiled, and hurriedly patted the wood, then got up and ran away.
Lord Du didn't stop him, and ordered the officials who were stunned to collect all kinds of physical evidence, escort Wang Wu away, settle the witnesses, and then left.
The onlookers watched a big show, and they were still a little unsatisfied, and they discussed it while walking out.
"This isn't the end of the story, is it?" Fu Yanxi and Fu Zichen walked side by side.
"Everything that needs to be said has been said, and the rest is not up to us." Fu Zichen said.
Fu Yanxi knows what Fu Zichen means, and the prosperity and decline of honor and disgrace depend on a person's decision. She nodded and said, "It's just that the Pingnan Hou Mansion was too anxious this time, leaving so many loopholes, but it made us hit with one blow." ”
Fu Zichen agreed: "Indeed." They wanted to take the lead with the snow disaster, with Wang Wu as the main force, on the surface, it seemed that everything hit the Fu family's sore spot, but they were too anxious to lose. Speaking from the heart, this time there is still a bit of a fluke, if it weren't for the prince of the royal prince who discovered the real Fu Jingzhi, we wouldn't be able to ......" As he spoke, Fu Zichen was suddenly silenced.
"What's wrong?" Fu Yanxi said strangely.
Fu Zichen didn't answer, his face suddenly became extremely solemn, and his steps couldn't help but speed up.
Fu Yanxi knew that Fu Zichen must have thought of something important, so she didn't dare to disturb, so she had to follow Fu Zichen's steps slowly.
After returning home, Fu Zichen went directly to Fu Qingyan's study, and the father and son talked behind closed doors for a whole afternoon.
And Fu Yanxi was also sorting out all the things that happened during this time in Yuxuan.
It can be said that this incident was fake from the beginning. Mo Sheng, who rushed to Huizhou Mansion, had already returned on the evening of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and the truth of the news that Fu Qingyan and Fu Zichen had found and the news that Mo Sheng brought back could be said to have frightened Fu Yanxi.
It turned out that the so-called snow disaster in Huizhou Mansion closed the city, and the number of people who froze to death was simply nothing. It has indeed snowed in Huizhou for several months, but the weather in Huizhou has always been like this, and the local officials have already had a set of measures for snow disasters.
Although this winter's snow was heavier than in previous years, the damage only crushed large swaths of houses on the outskirts of the city, and many farmlands were frozen and could not be planted the following year, and there were no casualties. These have been resettled and compensated by the magistrates. The matter can be big or small, and the magistrate did not report the matter for the sake of political performance.
Originally, the matter was harmless, but it was sued by Yingquan Mansion to the capital. And Yingquan Mansion is the sphere of influence of Pingnanhou, and its purpose is self-evident. So the fake Fu Jingzhi came to visit the New Year, and the real Fu Jingzhi was controlled, and the play babbled and sang.
To say that this Pingnan Hou Mansion is actually very meticulous in acting, he deliberately found Wang Wu from Yingquan Mansion, which is not far from Huizhou Mansion, to act. The accents of the two places are similar, and people like Fu Fu in the capital who have not been back to their ancestral land for many years certainly can't hear any difference. And Wang Wu's affairs were blocked in Yingquan Mansion, and he was not afraid that his identity would be exposed.
After figuring out this fact, Fu Qingyan and Fu Zichen quickly sent someone to take over the real Fu Jingzhi from Helian Congyu, and controlled Wang Wu and the two monkeys. The second monkey is from Huizhou Mansion and was found to escort the fake Fu Jingzhi. In this way, Wang Wu obeyed Fu Qingyan's order and confessed everything step by step in the lobby today. As for the snow disaster, it was natural to tell the emperor directly.
Thinking that the Pingnanhou faction has thousands of calculations, how can they not calculate that the real Fu Jingzhi will be found. Fu Yanxi thought.
But thinking about it like this, Fu Yanxi suddenly felt that something was strange, and this feeling was already there when Mo Zhu informed her about the affairs of Fengtian County.
If it succeeds, a person called "Fu Jingzhi" will die on the left and right, Wang Wu is under the identity of "Fu Jingzhi", so why is the real Fu Jingzhi still alive and found, shouldn't he be killed directly to eliminate the disaster? Was it really just a momentary oversight? Pingnanhou is not a brave and unscrupulous straw bag, and he should not make such a stupid mistake.
Also, since Wang Wu's identity is only known to the people of Yingquan Mansion, why can they still easily get the government's wanted warrants and witnesses from Yingquan Mansion? These were all found by Fu Qingyan in person, without the slightest fraud. But these hidden dangers should be destroyed at the beginning of the conspiracy to be in line with common sense. She Fu Yanxi could think of this truth, couldn't Ping Nanhou and his advisers think of it?
What's wrong? Fu Yanxi was puzzled by these questions.
After this farcical trial, the aftermath of the incident ended quickly over the next few days.
On the tenth day of the first month, the Criminal Department retried the case, all the evidence was readily available, even the two monkeys came out to identify, the truth of the matter was revealed, and the real Fu Jing returned to the Hou Mansion with a clean body.
On the eleventh day of the first month, Yin Ningmo of Jingzhao Mansion dismissed the official and thought about it, and was replaced by an official surnamed He.
On the twelfth day of the first month, Pingnanhou suddenly fell ill and was bedridden, so he could not go to court, and Pingnanhou's mansion was closed.
On the thirteenth day of the first month, the fifth prince Helian Congjia angered Jun Yan and knelt in front of the palace gate. Concubine Han De fell ill in a hurry and was still confined to the palace.
A series of things have made outsiders see that the Pingnan Hou Mansion has really touched the scales this time, and the power of the five princes has plummeted overnight.
Under such a major change in the government and the opposition, one thing is not so noticeable. On the fourteenth day of the first month, Fu Qinglin, who had been demoted two levels before, was promoted to the head of the military department. It seems that it is just an official reinstatement, but in fact it is much more useful than the household department. But everyone tacitly agreed that this was the emperor's appeasement of the Fu family affected by this incident.
And it wasn't until this time that Fu Yanxi came back to her senses. It turns out that the mastermind behind all this is not the Pingnan Hou Mansion, which has now ended in a dismal end, but the Hengyang Palace, which has nothing to do with this drama from beginning to end.
Lord He, who took over as the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, the officials who took over as the head of the household department, and Fu Qinglin, who finally got his wish and got involved in the military affairs, and everyone who took over the official positions that were affected by this matter, most of them were cronies of the Hengyang Palace. These people are also all people who were reused after the three princes ascended the throne in the previous life.
The answer to the question that has been going on for a long time has finally been answered.
Yingquan Mansion was ostensibly a cronie of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, but in fact took refuge in the Hengyang Palace.
The Pingnan Hou Mansion didn't know that the snow disaster was fake, and he didn't know that Fu Jingzhi was fake, these were all sent to them by the Hengyang Royal Mansion with the Fu family's affairs as bait, and the Han family was what the Hengyang Royal Mansion really had to deal with.
And Wang Wu seemed to follow Fu Qingyan's order to retract his confession in the lobby, but in fact, it was calculated by the Hengyang Royal Mansion early in the morning.
Looking at the spring flowers in the garden with a little bud exposed, Fu Yanxi couldn't help but sigh in her heart - such a chain of interlocking schemes, no wonder he became a dragon in his previous life.
