Chapter 249: Miscalculation

A piece of gold and jade completely exposed the identity of the fake Tsuji Niang, Guo Lao sighed at this, but he couldn't help but rejoice, if it weren't for this gold jade as a witness, then I'm afraid no one really knows who is the real Anren.

Emperor Qinglong was furious and put the fake Tsuji Niang in the prison, and ordered to ask and behead at noon tomorrow, the fake Tsuji Niang will definitely not be able to escape, but this has led to another big problem, the tin mine found from Luoxia Garden, and the oral evidence made by the fake Tsuji Niang, it seems that they have to reconsider their authenticity and credibility.

"Fuquan, I always feel that this is secretly, like a claw, grabbing me, the Ling Mansion, the Gong family, and even the Zou family and the Zhang family, that claw can always predict what I am going to do, who is going to attack whom, but it seems to be contrary to my thoughts.

Now I don't know where the claw is, and I don't know how to control it. In this world, there are still things that I can't decide, is this reasonable? ”

Fuquan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, everything in the world is under your control, but sometimes, God just likes to make a joke, he deliberately blocks your sight and makes you powerless, even the Holy Monarch can't do everything as expected, Your Majesty, you should relax." ”

Emperor Qinglong slapped the table unhappily: "But I can put Ling Fu to death three times or five times, but don't you think it's strange to let them escape every time?" Why is it that every time, when they are about to be convicted, they are allowed to get out of danger at the most critical moment? ”

Fuquan shook his head in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, although the Ling Mansion has a long history, it has not been against the royal family so far, the old slave thinks." They don't always turn evil into good fortune, but they have always lived very carefully. ”

Emperor Qinglong glared at Fuquan, "Are you speaking for them?" Do you know that I can't sleep well every night? For several nights I dreamed that they would rebel.

is obviously against the party, but the common people support him and the Ling family as the king, saying that my ancestors are all sitting back and enjoying their success, saying that I have relied on the Ling Mansion to fight down in this world, and now it is also up to him to defend the Ling Mansion.

You said. I am the Son of Heaven, but those ignorant people do not respect me as king. But he kept saying that Ling Mansion was good, so I could rest assured? ”

"The emperor is worried." Fuquan said respectfully, "But since it has been discovered that An Ren is a fake, she herself admits that it is related to the Wu County case." The minion thought. It's better to find out who this woman is and who she is doing for first, so that you can definitely find out the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

Emperor Qinglong sighed, pinched his eyebrows and nodded: "This matter is still handled by the Ministry of War." ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang asks to see you." The little eunuch reported.

Zhang Tianhao, speaking of which, it is Zhang Tianhao's credit for catching this fake Tsuji Niang, although Tsuji Niang is fake, but after all, it provides a useful clue. As long as you start with Tsuji Niang, you will definitely be able to find out what is useful.

"Xuanβ€”"

The little eunuch took the order. hurriedly retreated, and after a while, Zhang Tianhao was taken to the palace.

"Zhang Aiqing came to see me, but what's the matter?" Emperor Qinglong asked directly.

Zhang Tianhao scolded Gong Chengyan fiercely in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen said that day that he saw Tsuji Niang hiding the tin ore in the Bayin Kingdom, and at that time the minister thought that the Bayin Country was also involved, but then the minister thought about it carefully, and then he felt that something was wrong.

If the country of eight tones is also among them, why let Tsuji Niang only hide a small bag of tin ore in the country of eight sounds, as if she is waiting for someone to find out.

If the Eight Tone Kingdom really knew, it would not have left such an obvious handle for people to discover, which is really inappropriate and confusing.

Therefore, the minister felt that whether the Bayin Kingdom was involved in this matter, and whether the Ling Mansion was related to this matter, still needs to be confirmed. ”

Emperor Qinglong's face was a little unpleasant, he had just discussed the matter of Ling Mansion with Fuquan, originally he still had a bit of luck in his heart, thinking that this matter might really be able to cure Ling Mansion for the crime of rebellion, but when Zhang Tianhao said this, didn't he confirm that the relationship between this matter and Ling Mansion was suspicious.

"Zhang Aiqing, I know that you are bent on finding out who is behind the scenes, and I have also seen your heart, but in this matter, after all, the Ling Mansion cannot escape suspicion, I will send someone to investigate thoroughly, so you don't have to worry too much."

Zhang Tianhao heard what Emperor Qinglong meant, and he was unwilling.

He was threatened by Gong Chengyan to perjury on behalf of the latter, and even deliberately implicated this matter on Ling Fu, now that there is no threat, how can he still make a wedding dress for Gong Chengyan.

What's more, Zhang Zuolun said that the matter of Huanglin was the idea that Ling Yi gave him, although he didn't have a good impression of Ling Mansion, but he was very happy to use Ling Mansion to fight Gong Chengyan.

"Your Majesty, the strange thing about this matter is that someone took advantage of Weichen and misled Weichen.

On that day, Weichen was actually invited to go to the country of Eight Sounds, and found out that Tsuji Niang had hidden the tin mine.

All this is too coincidental, Wei Chen thought that this was the trick of the person behind the scenes, he just wanted Wei Chen to come forward to testify and involve Ling Fu, this kind of scheming is really hateful, Wei Chen was led away by the nose unconsciously.

Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't believe what Tsuji Niang said, but if she tortures more, she should be able to find out who instructed her. ”

Emperor Qinglong listened, frowned and asked, "Who invited you to the Eight Sound Country that day?" ”

Zhang Tianhao affirmed without saying a word: "It's Gong Chengyan, he sent someone to invite Weichen, saying that he was going to Bayin Country to discuss."

After Weichen went, he was led to the third floor, and then he saw the scene of Tsuji Niang stealing the private mine, and Weichen thought, how should Gong Chengyan know about this.

Wei Chen was brave and begged the emperor to allow Wei Chen to go to the prison to confront Gong Chengyan. ”

Emperor Qinglong hesitated for a moment, how could the more he listened, the more he felt that this matter was related to Gong Chengyan.

"Your Majesty, it's better to let Lord Zhang go in and take a look, no matter what, it's important to catch the people behind the scenes."

Emperor Qinglong thought for a moment, and finally said, "I will allow you to go to prison to confront Gong Chengyan." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Tianhao hid the smile in his eyes and said.

The prison was cold and dark, the air was filled with the smell of dampness, decay, and blood, and wails were heard from time to time in the cells on both sides. Someone looked out through the iron pillar, staring at Zhang Tianhao like a torch.

"Look at it, don't go back yet." The jailer whipped the cell door. The frightened man quickly shrank back.

"Lord Zhang, be careful, don't get too close to these prison doors, those who are locked up here are all evil criminals, and if you are not careful, you will be injured if you are caught by them."

Zhang Tianhao lifted his trousers and stood on tiptoe, his nose wrinkled. Obviously unaccustomed to the smell, but his expression looked a little gloating.

"How far is that?" He asked.

"It's coming, it's coming." The jailer said with a smile.

When he came to the cell where Gong Chengyan was being held, the latter was curled up in a cold ball. Nesting in the corner and observing the movement outside, so when Zhang Tianhao appeared, Gong Chengyan immediately stood up and staggered to the door lamp.

The head of the prison arched his hand and said, "My lord is busy first." The little ones go back and don't bother you. If something happens, just scream, and the little one will come right away. ”

Zhang Tianhao waved his hand and asked him to step back first.

After Gong Chengyan waited for the prison head to leave, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You are finally here, I thought it would be a few days, and when I saw Tsuji Niang being imprisoned, I knew that you didn't disappoint me, Lord Zhang." We're all the way, and if you want to quit halfway. That's a bit difficult. ”

Zhang Tianhao clenched his fists angrily, but with a sneer in anger: "Lord Gong is a good method, people can still cover the sky with one hand when they come in, but your hand is always smaller, there are too many things in this world that you can't control." ”

Gong Chengyan heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" You are joking with me, but I have evidence to prove that you have occupied the imperial forest privately, this is a capital crime, if I sue the emperor, with the emperor's current temper, I'm afraid you are not much better than me.

Why do you have to get the fish to die and the net is broken, we should unite as one, as before, you help me and I help you, so that everyone can go far on this road. ”

"I'm helpful to you, but you're not of much help to me, since you want to help each other, Master Gong has to be able to get something." Zhang Tianhao said with a smile.

Gong Chengyan's face sank, with a bit of threat: "Aren't you afraid that I will sue you in front of the emperor?" Although I am in trouble now, but the emperor listens to my words, he must still believe it, when the time comes, you and I will be on the guillotine, I am not lonely, and I can be a companion on the Huangquan Road. ”

After Zhang Tianhao heard this, he laughed out loud and couldn't breathe.

Gong Chengyan looked at him with heavy eyes, something in his heart gradually fell, if Zhang Tianhao was not sure, he would not be so rampant.

Sure enough, the latter easily stopped laughing, but said slowly: "Lord Gong still doesn't understand, do you know what I came here for today?" I don't sell it anymore, now the matter of Huanglin is no longer a threat to me, if you want to ask for this matter, it is to kill yourself.

In addition, the emperor sent me here just to confront you, but you asked me to go to the country of Bayin that day, and you also let me see the scene where Tsuji Niang stole the tin mine, and you even hinted to me that I wanted to push this matter on the head of the Ling Mansionβ€”β€”"

Seeing that Gong Chengyan's face was getting more and more ugly, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lord Gong, I told the emperor all these words, the emperor, just sent me over to confess to you, but I have evidence to prove that you invited me to go to the country of Bayin, and I still have that letter." ”

Gong Chengyan's hand that grabbed the iron pillar became tighter and tighter, and finally his eyes turned red with excitement, he reached out and grabbed Zhang Tianhao's collar, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Zhang Tianhao, let me tell you, if I fall, I will definitely pull you back."

What do you think is the only thing you have in my hands? Since you're doing things with my Gong Chengyan, you still want to slip away if your butt isn't wiped clean? You want to be beautiful, let me tell you, even if I die, I will definitely let the emperor copy your whole family. ”

Zhang Tianhao tried his best to break free of Gong Chengyan's hand, and said coldly: "Lord Gong, don't say it so badly, I'm very scared in my heart, so ah, I have prepared a way back for myself for these many things." ”

He looked at Gong Chengyan with a sneer, and said mockingly: "Now you, you are too busy to take care of yourself, and you still want to drag me into the water?" Don't be delusional.

Let me tell you Gong Chengyan, now you are nothing in my eyes, you are just a lost dog, seeing your pitiful appearance, I am also very sad in my heart, in the future, on your grave, I will definitely burn a few more pieces of paper money for you, and also talk about my pity for you. ”

"Zhang Tianhao - if my palace Chengyan does not die in a catastrophe, I will be inseparable from your Zhang family." Gong Chengyan roared angrily with his blood-red eyes.

Zhang Tianhao took a step back, touched the saliva on his face, and looked at him with disgust: "You have a good rest in this prison, and you also enjoy this last peace." I'm going back to my life. ”

Gong Chengyan watched him walk away coldly, slammed his fist on the iron railing, and roared a few times to vent the anger in his heart.

The prison boss sent Zhang Tianhao away, and when he came back, he became more and more arrogant, whipping the railing and scolding: "What is it called, you are called heaven, and God will not help you." ”

People like him can only show off their might at this time, and these once high-ranking ministers who have committed crimes are now trampled under his feet, and their hearts are indeed happy.

Gong Chengyan scolded his ancestors in his heart, but said: "Little brother, you send something out for me, and I will exchange this thing with you." He took off a piece of jade pendant from his neck, pinched it in his hand and stared at it for a long time before showing it to the prison head.

The head of the prison also knew the goods, and he could see at a glance that the jade pendant was valuable, and said coldly: "I didn't expect you to hide a pendant here, Lord Gong, before you came in, the rules said that you should hand over all the things, your pendant, you should have taken it out, and now you still use this thing to exchange it with me?" Are you stupid and I can't settle accounts? ”

Gong Chengyan finally realized what it means to be bullied by dogs in Pingyang, in the past, when these people saw him, they had to kneel and stutter, but now it is not enough to fall into the well.

He smiled and said, "The things handed over belong to your leader, how much can you take in this hand, if you don't mind, then I will give this thing to your head now, see if he holds it himself or gives it to you." ”

The prison head was a little anxious in his heart, Gong Chengyan was right, none of the things handed over were in his hands, he tentatively took a step forward, and asked knowingly: "How do I know if this thing of yours is worth the price you gave away?" You also know that you are a condemned prisoner, and I will risk my life to send you something, although my life is not worth much to you, but it is precious to me. ”

Gong Chengyan's hateful teeth chattered, and he said word by word: "I promise you, as long as you give my things out, this pendant will belong to you, and I will use a thousand gold to redeem it in the future."

You live a dark life in this prison, what is there to do but face these condemned prisoners, if you help me, after you get out, I will find you a better errand, so that you will be rich and worry-free for life. (To be continued.) )
