At the court meeting, the ministers were filled with indignation about the fire in Qianfu last night, and began to fiercely plead for punishment, demanding that the murderer must be thoroughly investigated and severely punished.

Emperor Jingtai obeyed the will of the people, and ordered the criminal department to take the lead and investigate the case together with the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple.

Then, someone found that the second prince had not entered the palace and went to court, so he asked the emperor, only to know that the second prince entered the palace this morning, collided with Emperor Jingtai, and was ordered by Emperor Jingtai to think about it behind closed doors.

The ministers were dumbfounded.

The prince made a mistake, and the emperor taught that this was a royal family matter, and there was not much place for the ministers to put their beaks. However, someone asked the second prince why he was like this today, but unfortunately, he did not receive a reply.

"Your Majesty, Weichen got the news that the eldest prince Jing Xiu took advantage of the interrogation of the Shuntian Mansion to send someone to ask the imperial merchant Xue family for 100,000 taels of silver, and the Xue family was forced to obey due to power. At dusk yesterday, several carriages traveled from Xue's house to Xi'an Gate, and were finally taken back to the palace by the governor of Fukang's palace, which is obvious to all.

This is an unjust act of trampling on the laws of the court and ruining the reputation of the court, and the amount of extortion is huge. ”

It's a royal historian.

He is not a person who is connected with Qian Zhao, but he has heard from other places.

The mansions that Qian Zhao visited yesterday night were all members of the imperial court, and his official position was low, and he was not qualified enough.

However, the strange thing is that the person who promised Qian Zhao last night that he would jointly petition for the abolition of the throne of the eldest prince today has not moved at all today.

"Oh, that's it?"

Emperor Jingtai seemed very surprised, and turned around and asked the eunuch standing next to him, do you know about this?

The eunuch who entered the palace said, "Back to Your Majesty, there is no such thing, what the Xue family sent to the eldest prince yesterday was not any silver, but 20,000 catties of high-grade silver frost charcoal, which was the Xue family's filial piety to the Fukang Palace."

Your Majesty has not forgotten that last night the eldest prince also sent 10,000 catties to the Daming Palace, saying that the harsh winter is coming, and I am afraid that there is a lack of good carbon fire in the palace, which is a piece of filial piety of the eldest prince.

His Majesty saw a very large number, and distributed it to the harem ladies and ladies for use, and sure enough, the ladies all said that there was no smoke and no dust, and it belonged to the best carbon fire.

Those silver frost charcoal are the Xue family's filial piety to the Fukang Palace.

Later, His Majesty heard about it, and sent Father-in-law Dai to the Xue family to reward the Xue family for their dedication to the royal service. ”

Emperor Jingtai nodded and said, "There is such a thing, I don't know where did Zhou Yushi's words come from?" ”

"This ......"

This imperial history surnamed Zhou was originally heard, but now when he heard that he might have been deceived and had a misunderstanding, he naturally didn't dare to say anything else.

So Emperor Jingtai asked him to retreat, glanced at the ministers below, and said, "I don't know if you Aiqing still have something to do?" ”

The Manchu Dynasty was silent, and Emperor Jingtai said, "That is the case, retreat from the dynasty." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

……

After Wu Fan returned home, his expression was open, and his father Wu Tianyou found that he had explained most of the matter after asking him a lot.

immediately received two big slaps but to no avail, so Wu Tianyou personally sent a fast horse to Shuntianfu to inquire about the news.

The worst news was obtained.

"The father will save the child!"

Wu Fan knelt down and begged Wu Tianyou.

Wu Tianyou's face was gloomy as water, and he said, "Damn evil beast, doing such a stupid thing, it's not a pity to die, how can I save you?" ”

"Dad, you must save me, I am your own son!"

Smack~ It was another slap, but after the beating, Wu Tianyou sat down again

"Now, if you want to live, your only hope is your sister.

You will take my official sedan chair into the palace now, go to your sister, as long as you stay in the palace, Shuntianfu will not dare to go in and arrest people.

I will then enter the palace and ask Your Majesty to plead guilty and beg Your Majesty to spare your life for your sister's sake. ”

"Okay, kid let's go......"

Soon, an official sedan chair set off from Wu's house and rushed to the imperial city.

"Stop!"

Under the Xi'an Gate, a team of forbidden troops stopped the official sedan chair.

"There are bandits in the capital, and the forbidden army searches them as usual."

The captain of the forbidden army stood sideways in front of the sedan chair, and his voice did not carry a trace of emotion.

"Bold, my family is the minister of the fourth grade of the imperial court, and if there is an urgent matter to enter the palace to see him, you will not retreat." The housekeeper of the Wu Mansion shouted.

"Hmph, the Imperial Court Servant's Mansion was burned down by the bandits, for the safety of the imperial city, not to mention a four-pin, it is a first-grade minister, and it still needs to be searched.

Search! ”

With an order, the sergeant stepped forward and easily stopped the Wu family members who were trying to stop it, and pulled out Wu Fan who was hiding in it.

As soon as Wu Fan saw the leader of the forbidden army, he immediately shouted, "Jiang ...... Jiang guards? He's not a prohibitionist, he's a pretending ......"

Wu Fan shouted at the other forbidden soldiers, trying to escape.

Jiang Cun sneered, "I am a soldier under the forbidden army, how can I pretend to be?" But Wu Gongzi, sitting in Ling Zun's sedan chair, hurriedly entered the imperial city to do something, is it to enter the palace to assassinate? ”

"You, you bloody mouth!"

"Hmph." Jiang Cun sneered, and secretly said that Jia Baoyu was like a god, and then said, "Wu Fan disguised his intention to infiltrate the imperial city and take it down!" ”

Immediately, a forbidden soldier rushed to Shuntianfu to report the news.

Shuntian Mansion, as the case became clear, the murder charges on Xue Pan's body had already been cleared.

Although he was guilty of beating someone on the street, it was because the other party deliberately provoked that he was framed, so the crime was actually very light.

Xu Yueming said: "Wang Erhu's ancestors and grandchildren were originally affected by the disaster in their hometown, so they fled to the capital to make a living, and it was not easy to suffer this bad luck, which is really sad and lamentable.

Although the death of the two of them has nothing to do with Xue Pan, but after all, Xue Pan once made people beat Wang Erhu, although there was a reason, but the deceased was the greatest, so the students had the courage to beg the adults, and ordered Xue Pan to contribute money to bury Wang Erhu's ancestors and grandchildren, in order to atone for their sins, and also let the spirits of the Wang family's ancestors and grandchildren rest in heaven. ”

As soon as Xu Yueming's words came out, the people praised them one after another.

The corners of Governor Song's mouth twitched, in this way, where is Xue Pan's crime, he should be acquitted......

However, it was originally the same, even so many ordinary people forgave Xue Pan, why should he be embarrassed by the Xue family and the Jia family? "This is reasonable, Xue Pan, are you willing to pay for the burial of the two of them?" ”

Xue Pan didn't have much vision, he had long thought that he was fine, but when he heard that he was asked to deal with the aftermath of two people who were not related to him, he felt a little unlucky, and he didn't want to agree.

raised his head and was about to speak, but found that Jia Baoyu's eyes were like looking at a stupid pig who couldn't support the wall, he was stunned, and finally understood what Jia Baoyu meant by asking him to agree.

"Okay, I'll give them the money to bury them, and keep them for a beautiful burial!"

Song Governor said: "This is very good. ”

Xue Pan raised his hands and gestured, "In that case, can you get this thing on my neck?" After wearing it for a long time, my neck is sore! ”

Governor Song smiled and motioned for the official to untie the shackles for him.

Bang, Song Governor patted the shocked wood and said, "Okay, the truth of Xue Pan's death on the street has been revealed, Xue Pan was really framed, and now he sincerely repents and is willing to bury the deceased, so the government pronounced Xue Pan not guilty." ”

After the Song prefect announced the verdict, he was about to order the retreat, that is, to let the people disperse.

Xu Yueming said again: "The case of Xue Pan being framed by someone has quite a big loophole, if the official mission of the government office can detect in time that Wang Erhu has been broken into and beaten in his residence, it must not be found out until today."

Therefore, I beg your Excellency to punish the person who handled the case on that day for the crime of dereliction of duty. ”

Governor Song glanced at Fu Cheng, of course he knew that the people who handled the case that day were all Fu Cheng's people, he smiled in his heart, and really said, "Du Putou will be dismissed and interrogated, if there is serious dereliction of duty, it will be severely punished." ”

Du Putou naturally shouted loudly, but unfortunately Jia Baoyu didn't care about these things.

He naturally knew that there must be someone in Shuntian Mansion who colluded with Wu Fan, at least at least at the dispatch of the eldest prince to assist Wu Fan.

However, these little minions, Jia Baoyu is not interested in bothering to clean them up, unless he can get rid of that Guo Fucheng......

It's a pity that the other party is the cheap brother-in-law of the eldest prince, and after going through so many things, how can Jia Baoyu still not understand the position of the eldest prince in the emperor's heart.

Now it's not okay to hit it hard.

Anyway, the days to come are still long, and I'm not afraid that there will be no chance to clean him up.

The common people gradually dispersed, and when Jia Baoyu saw one of his personal soldiers appear, he got up and smiled at the Song Governor's Mansion and said, "I'm afraid that the people sent to Wu Mansion by Lord Song will return in vain, so why don't you go to Xi'anmen to try." ”

Song Zhifu was stunned.
