Chapter 240: Forge a Holy Relic, Be Punished!

Leng Qinlan stared at the death-free gold medal in Luo Chenfeng's hand, and even though there were thousands of doubts in her heart, she didn't say anything.

Not long after, someone came to Fengdian to spread the news, saying that Shangguan Pingyun was escorting Cao Fangyu into the palace, because it involved the gold medal found in the basement, so he entered the palace together with Luo Chenzhi.

Shangguan Pingyun was very capable of doing things, and when he escorted Cao Fangyu back to the palace, he sent someone to send a message to King Ping's Mansion, so Luo Chenzhi entered the palace as soon as he got the news.

Everyone was concerned about the Cao family's secret vault, although the contents of the vault were taken away by Zixiao Palace for more than half, but the remaining amount was still considerable.

The Cao family is not an official for generations, Cao Lizheng lives in Linchuan Mansion Yin, another important city government close to Lin'an City, also relies on the efforts of their father and son for two generations, as well as Cao Guifei, who entered the palace as a concubine, these alone are not enough for them to hoard such a large family business, especially some treasures found in the treasury that even the emperor does not have.

There are a lot of corruption and bribery in the officialdom of Eastern Chu, and everyone originally knew that they were safe and sound, but if this evidence was pierced and exposed, it would cause a strong earthquake.

No emperor wants to see corruption break out under his own governance, although the old emperor also knows that the people in his hands are not clean, but when the ugliness is exposed to the sun, he is also extremely angry, and when he learns what Shangguan Pingyun has reported, Long Ting is furious.

But Luo Chenzhi didn't care about these, he was more concerned about the death-free gold medal, and he was concerned about searching for clues to the Purple Charm Poison Immortal from the death-free gold medal.

The old emperor looked at the death-free gold medal presented to him, and Luo Chenzhi's eyes also moved back and forth with the death-free gold medal.

"The gold medal is fake." The old emperor glanced at it a few times, then threw the death-free gold medal in front of Luo Chenzhi's feet, "Take out your gold medal and compare it." ”

Luo Chenzhi bent down to pick up the death-free gold medal and looked at the unique mark on the gold medal. Anything that comes from the emperor will have a secret mark stored in zài to distinguish the authenticity, which only the emperor and a very small number of people in the palace know.

"Fake? The Cao family dared to imitate the holy relics?! Shangguan Pingyun immediately answered.

Cao Fangyu's face was very bad since he entered the palace, and he was even more pale at this time.

He swore that he had never seen this death-free gold medal before, but it appeared in the vault, could it be mixed with something to put away?

Since returning to Lin'an City, Shangguan Pingyun has never mentioned those silver tickets again.

Speaking of which, his mind is very simple, it is not disgraceful for the Prime Minister to be deceived and spread out, so the search for silver tickets has been carried out in secret, except for in Sanlipo after he questioned Cao Fangyu why those silver tickets appeared in the Cao family's treasury, he never said much about the issue of silver tickets.

On the Dragon Palace, Shangguan Pingyun will not impeach the Cao family with the matter of silver tickets, there is a secret vault as big as the Cao family, why worry about not bringing down the Cao family? There is no need to mention the ugly things in your own house.

Now, the gold medal for avoiding death is fake, and Shangguan Pingyun has a quick mind to give Cao Jia the crime of forging holy relics, if it is a felony to amass wealth, then forging holy relics is a damned crime of bullying the king.

"Nope! The Cao family has never seen a gold medal for avoiding death! ”

Hearing Shangguan Pingyun's words, Cao Fangyu hurriedly denied it.

"Then how could the gold medal be in the Cao family's treasury? Or is that the vault not from the Cao family? "Shangguan Pingyun is aggressive.

"It's not...... It's not ......" Cao Fangyu shook his head one after another.

"The eldest prince of Cao no longer has to deny it, the prime minister has verified the true origin of the two villagers, as well as those who died in the village, that village is to cover the Cao family's treasury and save zài, the people of the prime minister fought bloodily, and finally the whole army died under the dying and stubborn resistance of the Cao family, fortunately, the prime minister arrived in time after receiving the news, otherwise no one would have been stolen, giving you a chance to escape with impunity!"

Shangguan Pingyun said that it was tragic and passionate, as if the person he sent was to track down the Cao family and died, as a complement, he was really heartbroken for Dongchu, and he was really an old minister who did his best for the court.

"Our Cao family was framed!" Cao Fangyu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old emperor three times, "Please let the emperor know!" ”

"Everyone has stolen goods, what else do you want to investigate!" The old emperor glared angrily.

He knew that the Cao family was designed by someone, otherwise how could he let people dig out of the private vault? How did you poke out such a big basket?

However, the Cao family did commit a serious crime strictly prohibited by the laws of Eastern Chu, and amassed a huge amount of wealth, so they should all be guilty! Forge holy relics, and punish the nine clans!

Compared with such a felony capital crime, being framed is also deserved!

The emperor's coercion was all over the Dragon Palace, and Cao Fangyu, who was kneeling in the middle, couldn't stand it directly, and his kneeling posture changed to prostrate, and he lowered his head heavily and didn't dare to raise it.

Cao Guifei, who learned that something had happened to the Cao family, rushed to the Dragon Hall at the risk of death, and as soon as she stopped outside the hall, she was hit by the powerful coercion that swept out, and she retreated more than a dozen steps, and did not dare to step forward.

"Guifei Niangniang, this matter is very important, you better avoid it!" A little eunuch on duty at the gate of the Dragon Palace was also forced by Long Wei to have a bad breath, but for the sake of receiving Cao Guifei on weekdays, he kindly persuaded him.

"What's going on inside?" Cao Guifei calmed down and asked.

"I just heard Lord Shangguan say that the Cao family forged the death-free gold medal given by the emperor to the prince of Ping." The little eunuch said in a low voice.

What the!

Cao Guifei's face turned pale, she staggered and almost couldn't stand steadily, and was supported by the palace maids beside her.

Looking at the gate of the Dragon Palace, Cao Guifei was silently stunned for a moment, covered the worry and fear in her eyes, and turned around and left slowly.

Every step was unusually heavy.

The Cao family is coming to an end!

The Cao family, who had been fighting in the officialdom for decades, finally did not reach the highest peak, stopped at Linchuan outside Lin'an City, and suddenly suffered a catastrophe and died!

has been by the emperor's side for 20 years, and Cao Guifei understands the temperament of the old emperor very well.

If the Cao family only embezzled and took bribes to hide wealth that did not belong to them, it would not be ruined, and there would always be a few lives and a few breaths, but they forged holy relics...... Cao Guifei knew that the last thing the old emperor could not let go of was the forgery of holy relics!

This one is enough to make the Cao family irreversible, and it will definitely affect the nine clans!

Forging holy relics is different from forging other things, which in the emperor's eyes is trying to go against the sky!

How could the emperor leave a Cao family with backbones? Not only the Cao family, but also all the people who have anything to do with the Cao family will become the prey of the emperor, and the elimination will be clean, for the Eastern Chu and the Luo family, there will be no trouble.

As the daughter of the Cao family, Cao Guifei can only save her life by turning a deaf ear to this matter and ignoring it completely, but even so, she has to be careful that other women in the palace take the opportunity to fall into the well.

Not long after Cao Guifei left silently, Cao Lizheng rushed into the palace from Linchuan City and came to the Dragon Palace.

When he heard that something had happened to the vault in Linchuan City, he got up.

He came to ask for guilt, as a court official, he knew how heavy his criminal was, although he knew that he was being calculated by someone with a heart this time, but he still wanted to fill the image in the emperor's mind with a good attitude of obedient confession and subjugation, so that the Cao family could get a light sentence.

However, Cao Lizheng never expected that he would commit the crime of forging holy relics!

The old emperor's eyes can't tolerate sand, and his character also has a ruthless and violent side, there is no shortage of officials in Dongchu, and if the eradication of a Cao family can help him establish his authority and shock people's hearts, he will not hesitate to take action.

So, the old emperor announced on the spot that Cao Lizheng and his son would be sent to the heavenly prison, and they would be beheaded after the Cao family and the nine clans were captured.

At the same time, the old emperor also rewarded Shangguan Pingyun.

The prime minister is already the highest official position, and the reward is nothing more than some silver and two jewels, but even the verbal affirmation is what every official who enters the court needs, which represents the emperor's attitude towards a person, and Shangguan Pingyun needs this "attitude" to build up his prestige in the court.

Approaching death and smelling the breath of the apocalypse, the Cao family father and son wanted to fight hard.

However, not everyone in the Dragon Hall can break out, with the strength of the Cao family's father and son, they can't reach that height, and as long as they make a move, the charge of rebellion will be even more confirmed.

Therefore, the father and son of the Cao family finally gave up their hands, but moved their mouths and scolded Shangguan Pingyun.

"Shangguan Pingyun, where are you clean? I don't know how many shady things there are behind my back! ”

"Shangguan Pingyun, you calculate the old man, the old man will not let you die a good death if he is a ghost!"

"Shangguan Pingyun, you wait, you will have today!"

……

Every sentence is accusing Shangguan Pingyun of being the mastermind of what happened to the Cao family today, accusing Shangguan Pingyun of being a raccoon dog, and wants to remind the emperor not to let go of this treacherous and cunning prime minister.

"Cao Lizheng, is it quick to bite back when you are dying?" Shangguan Pingyun just said this lightly, without making any excuses for himself or making any counterattacks.

Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, and biting him without evidence in the Dragon Hall at this time will not have any effect at all, this Cao family father and son are really stupid, no wonder they only do the Fu Yin of Linchuan City.

Leng Qinlan was in the Feng Hall and followed Luo Chenfeng to listen to the news from the people on the other side of the Dragon Palace.

An inconspicuous little eunuch, who speaks very smoothly and concisely, grasps the main point in a few concise sentences, and is a qualified secret agent.

"You did it?"

After the little eunuch left, Luo Chenfeng played with the death-free gold medal in his hand and asked.

"Only partially, I didn't want to kill that many people." Leng Qinlan's brows furrowed.

The scene of the old emperor killing Concubine Yun's mother and son was impressive, she seemed to smell the smell of bloodthirsty, and the killing of the Cao family and the nine clans must be a river of blood.

"What's the deal with that fake death-free gold medal?" Luo Chenfeng asked.

The crux of the whole thing is on that fake gold medal.

"Shangguan Pingyun did it?" Luo Chenfeng then asked.

Completely exterminate people, which is also in line with Shangguan Pingyun's style.
