As a result, Zhang Xi is also a spineless person, lest he suffer from flesh and skin, and besides, the evidence of his crime is conclusive, and he can't defend himself, but this crime of corruption can't kill him, and he weighs the two phases, and as soon as he enters the push court, he will recruit all of them, like pouring beans into the bamboo tube, and even Su Wei and Xia Ru have also recruited them.

Su Wei and Xia Ru are prime ministers, and the power of some official affairs is intersecting with him, Zhang Xi has received benefits from others, and if he wants to do things properly, he can't do without Su Wei and Xia Ru's care, so he wants to pull the two of them into the water.

Su Wei has always been ambiguous, and no one wants to offend; Xia Ru had just paid a visit to the prime minister, and his foundation was still shallow, so it was impossible to offend Zhang Xi, so the two had to push the boat down the river. Speaking of which, these two people didn't get much benefit, and they didn't directly interfere in Zhang Xi's affairs, but just turned a blind eye to some of his actions, and as a result, Zhang Xi's incident happened, and the two were also implicated and went to prison together.

After Yao'er heard what had happened, her brows furrowed even tighter, and she said: "Since Yushitai has witnesses and physical evidence, if you want to rescue the three prime ministers, I am afraid that it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. ”

Jiang Dexu said with a gloomy face: "Why do it in vain!" ”

Su Wei was promoted by Uncle Guan, he can shirk his business, but Xia Ru and Zhang Xi were raised by him, and now these two people have committed something, he has the responsibility of not knowing people and making mistakes in recommendation, even if the queen does not punish him, he will be disgraced.

Jiang Dexu stretched a few edges on his cheeks, gritted his teeth and said: "These people don't know what to do, they take the blame, now the evidence is conclusive, how can they be saved?" If we compromise. The power of the cool officials will be even hotter, and then it will become a big harm to the world! ”

He glanced coldly at the three people in front of him and said, "For the sake of the court." Eradicate rape and eliminate evil, why pity? Moreover, the three of them have their own stains. The Prime Minister has summoned you to ask if you have any means to directly attack them, except for impeachment and side-knocking! ”

Gua Lanjian hurriedly said: "According to the original plan, the specific measures are the responsibility of Changshi, Changshi." How's your preparation? ”

Yao'er said: "Yao'er has never slacked off for a moment, and has been preparing intensively. Truth be told, my net has been sown. Even if this doesn't happen, it's time to close the net in the next few days. ”

Jiang Dexu said coldly: "What means do you have?" Don't do any more painless tricks to those little shrimp in the corners and corners, I want you to go straight to the heart of Yu Shitai and take its head. Immediately return to color! ”

Yao'er smiled and said, "There are only a few eagle claws in the Imperial History Terrace now. Wang Hongyi and Hou Sizhi are one of the leaders, and the target of the first blow chosen by this official is them, as for the means, ......"

Yao'er's face suddenly showed a strange look, and she said slowly: "But it is the same as their methods, but it is just the way of the other and the other to give back to the other!" ”

……

There are three antique shops in Lin'an North City, two of which are financially strong and reputable. Most of the antiques purchased and sold are rare in the world, and they have a good reputation among players who like to collect and enjoy antiques.

The other one called "Rare Pavilion" is not the same. The store is very small, and there are not many treasures in it, and although most of the collection is considered antiquities, there are few rare things, and I heard that fakes have been sold before.

After a long time, the notoriety spread, and the real players never entered the door of the "Rare Pavilion", but this "Rare Pavilion" is still open well, even if the door is full of birds, the shopkeeper still sits in the store, and never worries because there is no business depression.

There are no birds at the gate today because it is raining outside.

The spring rain is as expensive as oil, the light rain drenches the uneven bluestone in front of the door to be shiny and shiny, the rain is in the low-lying area and becomes a puddle, the raindrops splash up, splashing the rain flowers, the shopkeeper Xue Pingyan sits behind the counter, holding the fat double-layer chin and looking at the rain flowers with a smile, and from time to time also takes a sip of rice wine, leisurely very.

Someone came to the door, holding a shabby oil-paper umbrella, and his face was not visible, except for a pair of black upturned cloth boots and a cyan robe that swayed with his footsteps.

When the oil-paper umbrella floated to the eaves, the rainwater on the eaves knocked on the umbrella surface, making a "bang" sound, just a moment, the person flashed into the "Treasure Pavilion", and the oil-paper umbrella was removed, revealing a middle-aged face with a two-handful mustache.

When Xue Pingyan saw this person's appearance, he immediately smiled more happily, and business came to the door!

The first time this person came to the door was three months ago, Xue shopkeeper remembered very clearly, it was still a snowy winter, it happened to be snowing heavily that day, this guest was wearing a tight-fitting lambskin cotton robe, wearing a dogskin hat with ears covering, dressed very rustic, but he was very good at discerning antiques.

The antiques in the shop. He could accurately name them, date them, and estimate their prices at a glance, and he didn't even touch or knock them or look at the inscriptions on them with his hands, but he glanced at them and pinpointed out exactly what they were fakes.

The young man's face began to look ugly, but fortunately, the business in the store was not good, and no one came to the door once in ten days and a half months, and there happened to be no other customers in the store at that time. So the young man picked up the broom and prepared to beat the guest who kicked the restaurant out, but the shopkeeper Xue looked at it with a smile and did not stop it.

At this time, the guest suddenly spoke: "How much is this ear pottery kettle?" ”

As soon as the young man heard that there was a door, he immediately stepped aside, and the shopkeeper Xue immediately walked out from behind the counter and said with a smile: "Fifty thousand yuan!" ”

This man simply paid 50,000 yuan, and left happily with the "Tier pottery pot" that had been fired only last month, and repeatedly said that it was "cheap" to buy.

Last month, the guest came again. This time he spent 100,000 yuan to buy a bronze sword of the Qin State, the rusty bronze sword is genuine, but it is only worth one-tenth of 100,000 yuan, that is, this time, the shopkeeper Xue knows his name, his name is Zhao Yu.

Today Zhao Yu is here again. And it came in the rain, and it seemed that it was a big business coming to the door again, so Shopkeeper Xue smiled even more happily: "Brother Zhao." It's been a long time, what do you want to buy this time? ”

Zhao Yu's complexion didn't look very good, he frowned, and asked, "Is there a treasure worth 500,000 yuan in this shopkeeper?" ”

People who buy antiques don't choose their favorite antiques, but only buy them at the price, which is too weird, and Xue Pingyan is in business. When I heard that such a big business came to the door, I didn't see any joy, but I was a little worried. But it was even more strange, he frowned, and said hesitantly: "Brother Zhao's business...... It seems to be not small. ”

Zhao Yu nodded approvingly, and sighed: "It's really not small." But...... I believe that the customer can still eat. ”

Xue Pingyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then Brother Zhao will take a look at this antique!" ”

Xue Pingyan took out a large coin from the Bogu shelf and spread it in his palm, the coin was shaped like a bell and had three holes on it.

Shopkeeper Xue said with a smile: "This is the 'three-hole cloth' copper coin minted by the Warring States period in the early summer, which is a rare thing!" ”

He opened his other hand, slowly raised it in front of Zhao Yu, and said in a deep voice: "It's worth exactly 500,000 yuan!" ”

……

An hour later, Zhao Yu appeared in the signing room of Si Yao'er of Kou Qing's palace.

Before he came. Yao'er was watching the rain in front of the window, and the rain hit the leaves of the newborn laurel tree. The leaves of the newborn laurel tree are bright green and pleasing to the eye.

The trunk is thick and thick, this laurel tree has been more than 100 years old, and it is said that this laurel tree was planted here at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty. Now the Great Sui has long been wiped out, and the talented Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui have become a symbol in the pile of old papers, but it is still alive and well, and it is getting stronger and stronger.

As soon as Zhao Yu came, Yao'er lowered the window, and Shen Rendrunk, a handsome little guy who was leaning on his side to watch the rain with him, also quietly retreated, standing under the dripping eaves at the door and continuing to watch the rain. With her standing there, I didn't think anyone could eavesdrop on the conversation in the room.

In the room, Yao'er and Zhao Yu sat opposite each other, and Yao'er said, "Have you found out clearly?" ”

Zhao Yu smiled and said: "With me out of the horse, you can rest assured!" ”

He reached into his arms, took out a tightly tied oiled paper bag, pushed it in front of Yao'er, and said: "The entire process of bribery and bribery, so the people involved, the amount and place of each bribe, the things requested, and even the place where he hid the money have been recorded in detail. ”

Zhao Yu sighed, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This Wang Hongyi is greedy, it is best to collect money, and he has a nickname called gluttony." used to be unscrupulous, but since the fall of Jun's subordinates, he has been much more careful, and he has tried his best to come up with such a good way to hide from the world, and it is really difficult for him. ”

Yao'er said with a smile: "Yes, first let the family open an antique shop, draw some worthless rags and put them there to sell, and then let the person who asked him to do things or beg him to raise his noble hand to go to the store to buy these worthless antiques at a high price, and then give them to him as a gift, as a certificate, seamless, it's a pity, he actually forgot that the best means of his Yushitai is 'three people confess, and the crime is convicted', now that I have figured out his means of accepting bribes, I am afraid that I can't rectify him!" ”

He took the oiled paper bag in his hand and said to Zhao Yu: "Early tomorrow morning, I will go to the office as usual." ”

Zhao Yu smiled knowingly, got up and said, "Farewell!" ”

"Don't send it!"

With a "peng" sound, the oil-paper umbrella opened under the dripping eaves. It is as if the water lily leaves spread out in the corner of the water tank are gently turning. Zhao Yu left quietly with a robe in one hand and a paper umbrella in the other.

Kouqing Palace in the rain gives people a feeling of loneliness, and the back of Zhao Yu walking in the rain also reveals a lonely taste.

"Alas! It's like this everywhere......"

Shen Rendrunk walked into the room, sighed softly in the silence of the rain, and said quietly: "Aunt and Mi Zixuan are like this, and you are still like this here." ”

Yao'er raised an eyebrow. "Are you tired of it?" Where there are people, there must be fights, even if you hide in the mountains and forests. When your children and grandchildren grow up and the population grows larger, there will still be fights, battles for land, property and houses, which is human nature.

Some people fight for the world, some people fight for themselves, some people fight for high-ranking officials, some people fight for three meals a day, or fight with the sky, or fight with others, in fact, what is the difference?

Shen Ren is drunk, you weren't so depressed before, you are not afraid of the queen, why should you be afraid of Ouyang Yuyan. ”

He walked up to Shen Renzui and said softly: "I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I won't challenge her easily until there is a perfect solution." ”

Shen Rendrunk nodded and gently took her into his arms.

Outside the window, the lonely sound of rain seems to have a hint of tenderness.

……

Early the next morning, Yao'er rode a high-headed horse, as usual, and rushed to the yamen of Kouqing Palace with the bells of the city. Before he got off the horse, four or five people, men and women, old and young, rushed to the side of the road, knelt down in front of the horse, put paper on their heads, and shouted in a loud voice.

The director of Kou Qing Palace "just happened" to arrive at the door.

The prison of Taiwan Prison is empty, the scene of overcrowding is gone, there are only three people in the entire prison, but these three people are still full of weight, Yushitai only catches big tigers, and Shengdou Xiaomin is not worthy of being locked up in this place.

The three of them are divided into three cells, they are Prime Minister Su Wei, Prime Minister Zhang Xi, and Prime Minister Xia Ru.

Xia Ru sat there stunned.

Less than half a year after paying homage to the prime minister, he was imprisoned, and after all, he did not escape the curse of the prime minister of Great Qi who did not die well. Thinking of his hesitation when he paid homage to the prime minister, and thinking that he still delusionally could climb to the position of "chief writer" step by step, Xia Ru felt like crying.

Zhang Xi sat on the straw couch, facing the wall, a little like Dharma facing the wall, but I don't know if he can leave a figure on the wall and realize the true meaning of Buddhism after facing the wall for many years.

The reason why Zhang Xi is like this is completely because he is ashamed of his friends.

Su Wei and Xia Ru were confessed by him, and these two people were also pulled into the water by him at the beginning, to be precise, these two people had no intention of accepting bribes, and the reason why they accepted the benefits of his gift was not to provide convenience for those officials who asked him to do things, but they were both prime ministers, and they didn't want to offend him. As a result, as soon as he entered the prison, he recruited these two benevolent brothers, and he was really not very authentic in his work, how could he still have the face to see the old man.

Su Wei sometimes sat down, sometimes stood up, sometimes walked, sometimes raised his head and stared blankly at the light of the vent. He hated Zhang Xi for not being righteous, he hated himself for not sticking to his nature, he regretted why he didn't show mercy in the first place, and he was worried that his life's future would be ruined......

With all kinds of thoughts, his gray hair was almost completely white in just a few days.

At this time, he was looking at the corner of the dark prison, thinking faintly about what was behind him. (To be continued......)
