As soon as Gege's words came out, everyone in the hall was secretly surprised. Qianlong said in his heart, I have the heart to protect you, how can such a smart person be so stupid today? What can I do with your answer?

Fang Song was secretly happy in his heart, he was going to take you down now. If I hadn't sent someone to your house to steal this talisman, you wouldn't have dared to admit it so readily!

"Ruoqing, above the court, are you telling the truth? If you make a mistake for a while, I will allow you to consider it carefully before answering. Qianlong asked again, expecting to give Gege another chance.

Ke Gege said categorically: "How dare Ruoqing talk nonsense in front of the emperor? Ruoqing could see that it was indeed the talisman of Ruoqing's guards. Butterflies are messing around by nature, Ruoqing is still unrepentant after many warnings, please ask the emperor to take Ruoqing seriously! ”

"This~~~?" Qianlong was a little hesitant for a while, how should this be handled? Don't ask the opinions of the parties: "Fang Song, what do you think should be done?" I see that if there is a lack of some silver taels, let Ruoqing lose it. Ruoqing is the person I want to reuse, and you are my important minister, the two of them don't look up and don't look down, how about taking a step back from each other? ”

How do you know that Fang Song is unforgiving, and forcibly justifies himself: "The emperor is not wrong to say this. Fang Song and Qing Gege didn't have much of a holiday, so it was naturally good to be able to talk about it. Qing Gege naturally treats his subordinates leniently, but it is inevitable that these subordinates will do many illegal things by virtue of Qing Gege's prestige. If we don't stop it now, we are afraid that it will be even more difficult to control it in the future. Please also ask the emperor to think twice. "Speaking of which, he pushed it backwards, but it was all a problem of Gege.

Qianlong was a little embarrassed and looked at Gege. Gege naturally understood, and said: "Ruoqing is willing to accept the emperor's heavy responsibility!" ”

Qianlong was helpless, so he had to groan and said: "Okay, Ruoqing connived at his subordinates." For theft at night, Ruoqing was fined 500 taels of silver to the Internal Affairs Office, and he was not allowed to enter the palace to see me after a month of thinking about it. ”

Fang Song was surprised: "The minister has never heard of this kind of punishment? Did you just think about it behind closed doors for a month? ”

Qianlong smiled and said: "Ruoqing is just a girl, no better than you courtiers, so naturally you have to deal with it in the same way as you treat girls." My family affairs are generally handled like this, Fang Song, do you have any opinions? ”

Fang Song bowed his head and replied respectfully.

Qianlong was proud of his own disposition, and saw that Ruoqing's expression did not turn happy. He asked, "Ruoqing, do you still have anything to say?" ”

"Ruoqing has something to say!"

"Oh? What else do you have to say? Qianlong asked with a slight raised eyebrows.

"Ruoqing, there are also some things to show the emperor here." Ruoqing also felt something out of her sleeve. Fang Song stared fixedly. But it was a cloth bag wrapped in blue silk, and the board was upright, looking like some books.

Qianlong looked at the king. Wang Yong came over and took the cloth bag and presented it to Qianlong with both hands. Qianlong opened the cloth bag and examined it carefully, his face became more and more gloomy. Fang Song observed the words and expressions under the seat. I was worried in my heart, I didn't know what the emperor was looking at that made him look so solemn.

Steep. Qianlong reprimanded loudly: "Fang Song, are you guilty? ”

Fang Song was even more confused, but seeing Qianlong's fierce appearance, he couldn't help but feel his legs weak. Putong knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "The minister doesn't know what crime he has committed, please ask the emperor to make it clear!" ”

Qianlong threw the pile of things off the table. But it's a bunch of letters. Pages and pages of letters spread out in the air, like countless swords flying in the air. Those who touch the edge will not die or be injured.

Fang Song lay on the ground and picked up those papers, only looked at them twice, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his voice trembled: "The emperor spares his life!" I'm afraid that someone pretended to be a minister to write these letters, and the minister really didn't know! ”

Qianlong snorted lowly, and then asked sharply: "You still dare to quibble!" There is also a recital of Zhang Jixian, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you can also take a look at it, see if I have wronged you? With that, he threw off another fold. The fold is a special fold and is heavier than the letter. This fold smashed on Fang Song's head.

Fang Song took it down and read it word by word. Needless to say, Zhang Jixian's recital must have ruthlessly condemned Fang Song's actions. The two main points are that Fang Song formed a party for personal gain and interfered in the government, and the crime is unforgivable!

Without waiting for him to finish reading, Qianlong angrily reprimanded: "Fang Song, as a member of the imperial court, is directly related to the employment of the imperial court, and he dares to openly collude with foreign ministers, form a party connection, and send him to Shuntianfu Prison. In the coming day, the three legal divisions will be tried, and the trial will be reported! Come on, take off his loose official hat, take off his official robe, and drag it out! ”

In Fang Song's miserable begging for mercy and wrongdoing, three or five imperial guards came in from outside the hall, skillfully removed their hats and clothes, and then gently dragged him out of the hall, his cries gradually disappeared into the sky.

Qianlong's face in the hall had softened, he glanced at Gege, sighed and said: "I have heard a lot about Fang Song's behavior, but I can't see the evidence, and I don't have a problem with him for a while, thanks to you today!" ”

After taking down Fang Song, Gege felt uncomfortable, and after a little thanking the emperor, he also quit the palace and left.

A few days later, Henan Xie Zhonglin received a secret guarantee, which informed him that Fang Song had been taken down by the emperor, and after the trial of the three law divisions and three halls, Fang Song's evidence was conclusive, the crime was true, and he was scheduled to be beheaded at noon on July 3.

The signature on the secret report is Yang Fengchun. Xie Zhonglin naturally recognized Yang Fengchun, and he wondered why the person who wrote the letter was not Qing Gege, but Yang Fengchun? The two of them are people who can't be beaten with eight poles. He couldn't guess after thinking for a long time, but fortunately, he was safe and sound, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. It seems that it is always okay to decide to lean on the tree at first.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhonglin came to the study again and wrote to Qing Gege in person, thanking Qing Gege for saving his life. As soon as the letter was written, I heard from my relatives that the governor of Henan had invited the adults to come over for a drink.

Xie Zhonglin thought about it, the last time he dismissed his banquet because of heat stroke, today is a good time to drink, so he readily agreed.

Someone was sent to the post station to send the letter, and the servant waited for Xie Zhonglin to change into homely clothes, so that he could have a good drink in plainclothes at the governor's house.

Henan Governor's Mansion Xie Zhonglin is used to going. When the sedan chair fell, Xie Zhonglin didn't need to report it, nor did he look at the little guys who saluted respectfully on both sides, but he walked through the outer hall and went straight to the backyard of the inner room.

In the past, most of the banquets were set up in the backyard to hide the gold pavilion. Xie Zhonglin came to the Tibetan Golden Pavilion by car, and sure enough, he saw the governor standing with his back to him in the hall, and the breeze blew through the corners of his robe, and he had the illusion of being in a different world.

"Brother Zhu, the day before yesterday, the younger brother suffered from heat stroke and missed the appointment, Brother Zhu won't be surprised. Today, it is very enjoyable to drink in this Tibetan Golden Pavilion, and the younger brother will punish himself with three cups, which can be regarded as the younger brother apologizing to Brother Zhu! After that, he went up to the pavilion and poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it with a headache.

Master Zhu slowly turned around. Xie Zhonglin found out that his face was pale, and he was secretly murderous. He knew that something was wrong, and when he looked around, he saw that the inside of the verandah on both sides was faintly showing the appearance of soldiers' armor. Xie Zhonglin was about to question, but he heard Lord Zhu shout violently: "Come on, take Xie Zhonglin for me!" (To be continued) R466
