Chapter 22: Wan's End of the Road (1)
The sky is vast, and the stars are hanging down.
Outside the Heisei Pass, a fast horse stumbled on all four hooves under the deep sky, running along the loess road all the way to the dust.
Suddenly, something tripped over the front hooves, a neighing followed by several muffled sounds, and immediately the man turned on his back.
Four or five sturdy men sprang out of the grass, and without saying a word, they cut off the arms of the man on horseback and pressed them to the ground.
"Let go of me, let go of me, I'm a good citizen......"
The man who was ambushed shouted loudly, looked up with difficulty, and saw that the people who came were all wearing the iconic purple official uniforms of Dongchang, and his face was suddenly pale and blue, and he lied and wanted to escape the catastrophe.
The fan guard who led the team squatted down, patted the man's face with his rough big hand, and laughed:
"Hey, good people? Where did the good people find the horses? ”
Tell his companion to turn the man over and hold him on his back with his feet forked.
Fan Wei rummaged through the man's shirt for a moment, and found a letter and a blackiron token.
By the moonlight, Fan Wei saw a word engraved on the token:
Ten thousand!
Fan Wei snickered and said with a triumphant smile:
"Lord Leng is really like a god! Brothers, don't be stunned, kill him. I will now hurry into the capital and present these two things to the Overseer. ”
As he spoke, the man turned over and turned his horse's head.
There was a terrible scream behind him, startling countless birds in the bushes, and they fluttered their wings and rushed into the night sky.
——
On the first day of April, the drizzle fell all night and did not stop until dawn.
In the morning, a floating corpse appeared in the lotus pond, and it was salvaged and verified that the deceased was the father-in-law Mao who had been missing for many days in the Weiyan Pavilion.
Emperor Jingxiao will recuperate for a long time, on April 3, the bright day announced that the civil and military officials entered the court, and from the Dali Temple brought Kagura Hou Wanli, Lei Huan, Wu Yong three people, to the Golden Palace under the Danqi by the emperor personally interrogated.
Wu Yong used to work for Wanli, but he was rescued by Dongchang by unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and now he has made meritorious contributions to the crime, and confessed in court more than 30 charges such as Kagura Hou Wanli's monopoly of Dayi Caoyun, persecution of merchants, concealment of gold mines, disruption of local taxes and finance, and contempt of imperial power.
On the other hand, Leng Qingtang arranged a number of officials in advance to impeach the Wan father and son, and took this opportunity to exert their eloquence to challenge the Wan father and son, and there was a great tendency for the wall to fall down and everyone pushed it.
After a lot of writing and several rounds of fierce speeches, since then, the real culprits of the Gongnu bag drop case, the demon fetus case, and the Beijing well water poisoning case have all been aimed at the Wan father and son, and the human and physical evidence are all there, and they cannot be denied.
Next, Leng Qingtang handed over to Emperor Jingxiao the letters and military talismans sent by the god king Wanzong to southern Xinjiang that Dongchang intercepted outside the pass, in order to prove the mortal crime of Wan's private soldiers plotting to rebel.
Long Yan was furious.
Emperor Jingxiao immediately jumped like thunder, stuffed a grain of gold pill into his mouth on one wall, and scolded Wan father and son on the other wall.
"That's enough—"
Wan Li suddenly stood up, but was kicked on the knee by the forbidden army on the side, and knelt on the ground again.
Wan Li's eyes were fierce, and he looked at the emperor and sneered disdainfully:
"I did it, I did it all—"
Several eyes on the Golden Palace stared at him, some of them looked at each other coldly, and some of them were dumbfounded.
This Kagura Marquis is notoriously short-tempered, and he doesn't want to confess his sins today.
"Your Majesty, the concubine begs you, I think of the love of the concubine who has served you for many years, please spare the concubine and the nine clans will not die, it is not a pity for the concubine to die, the emperor ......"
Meng Meng cried like a cuckoo crying blood, and it was passed into the Golden Palace one after another.
In order to save the lives of her clansmen, Wan Yuyao, who had lost her position, took off her robe and took off her hairpins and knelt in the open field, crying and kowtowing like pounding garlic, every time she was thrilling.
It can really be described as a cycle of heavenly principles, and retribution is unpleasant.
Thinking about the Wan clan rampant in the harem of the government and the opposition for more than ten years, how much elegance and infinity are like falling flowers and flowing water, and they disappear in a blink of an eye.
"What are you talking about, you ignorant fool woman—"
Wanli was like a ghost possessed, and "Teng" got up and rushed out of the hall.
This time, the Praetorian Army failed to stop him again.
To be exact, including Emperor Jingxiao himself, the astonishing actions of the Marquis of Kagura were completely shocked.
Leng Qingtang was calm, just wanting to see what this Wanli would look like when he was in the last breath.
Wan Li strode out of the hall with heavy shackles, walked in front of Wan Yuyao with difficulty, and slapped Wan Yuyao's head with one palm.
Wan Yuyao suddenly stopped crying bitterly and looked at her brother in astonishment.
"The other palace concubines are secretly scheming, but you only fiddle with some hairpin ring fat powder all day long! If you don't want to fight for favor and power, I, as a younger brother, will always fight for you and the family! ”
"Li'er, you are presumptuous—"
God King Wanzong knelt in the golden hall and could hear clearly, turned his body to look at the fierce man outside, and was in a hurry, and his voice trembled and shouted.
Wan Li's figure did not waver, his eyes fell on Wan Yuyao's face, and he repeated fiercely:
"It's you, it's for you...... It's all for you! ”
Suddenly, a string of tears rolled down her eyes, Wan Yuyao saw it, her expression was stunned, and she understood something in an instant.
Wan Li turned back to the temple and knelt beside his father.
Seeing the tears on his son's emaciated face, Wan Zong suddenly realized that his son's manic behavior was nothing else, just to keep his eldest sister.
However, what the God King expected, Leng Qingtang would naturally expect as well.
He stood with his hands folded, his face smiling indifferently.
Dongchang has been planning for a long time, and this time it is determined to bring down the Wan family in one fell swoop, how can Wan Yuyao be allowed to be left alone?
Sure enough, as the God King thought, Wan Li bowed his head upward, and his voice was hoarse and poignant:
"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine doesn't know anything, those things are all done by the criminal minister, and it has nothing to do with the imperial concubine. Please be merciful to the emperor and spare the imperial concubine, the fifth princess and the sixth princess can't live without their mothers! ”
Outside the hall, Wan Yuyao covered her face with her hands and cried even more intensely:
"Brother...... Woohoo......"
She only knew that just now Wan Li was insulting and even beat her, just to convince the emperor that she, the eldest sister, was indeed incompetent, and that the crimes mentioned by the official had nothing to do with her, so that she could leave the hope of life to her.
"Your Majesty, the servants still have physical evidence to prove that the imperial concubine Wan participated in the cruelty of the palace concubine Xu and deliberately persecuted the seven princes."
The feminine voice was slightly old, and it entered from outside the golden hall, holding an unhurried tone.
"Whoever is outside, announce him into the temple."
The emperor commanded Gonggong Zhang, and then swallowed two more golden pills.
The person who came was Liu Bingbi, the master of ceremonies, who was holding a wooden box in his hand, and bowed down:
"Your Majesty, the celebrant has now received a letter from the former upbringing of the Seven Princes, the grandmother Tong, and the above-mentioned incident of the imperial concubine's deliberate persecution of the Seven Princes. In addition, the admiral of Xichang Minglan confessed as evidence, and asked the emperor to take a look. ”
Gonggong Zhang sent the physical evidence to the emperor to be opened, and Liu Bingbi reminded him in a timely manner:
"Please be careful, there is a small amount of iron reed flowers and pollen in the box, and the skin is stained with a little bit, which is unbearable."
Emperor Jingxiao took the letter and the confession and read them one by one, and the expression on his face was up and down.
For a moment, he slapped the armrest of the golden dragon angrily, and the spider-like meridians in his brain "suddenly" jumped:
"Damn it! The fifth princess and the sixth princess can't live without their mothers, so my seventh prince should lose his mother?! ”
Suddenly, he coughed violently, and the emperor covered his mouth and gasped heavily, sweating profusely.
Closing his eyes and thinking about it, the emperor thought of the deceased Concubine Xu and the sick Queen Qian, and suddenly had a splitting headache and trembling his spine.
Yu Yu opened his eyes, the emperor touched his forehead with his hand, and said intently:
"Passing on the decree, Wan's father and son are not as good as Si Jun'en, forming a party for personal gain, swallowing gold mines to fill their pockets, garrisoning troops in southern Xinjiang, and assassinating several crimes in front of the royal court, and the demon Dao Lei Huan was sentenced to death at the same time, and three days later paraded the streets outside the noon gate to be executed.
The imperial concubine Wan family persecuted the palace concubine for her own selfishness, and the crime of mutilating the imperial heir is unforgivable.
The Imperial Forest Army immediately raided the Shenwang Mansion and the Nanyuan Kagura Marquis Mansion, and the property involved was filled into the treasury. Wu Yong's report is meritorious, but the capital crime can be avoided.
When Sendai is completed, I order you to go to sea with me, and then convict you after successfully exploring the Kunhuang Underground Palace. ”
As soon as the oracle was issued, two people immediately fainted outside the hall, but Wan Li was arrogant and laughed wildly with his back "haha":
"Dusk Jun, since Ben Hou has been convicted by you, why bother to suffer the pain of being at your mercy by a thousand knives, it is better to die clean!"
Before the words fell, he turned around and pulled out the waist knife of the forbidden army next to him with his backhand.
With a "poof", the throat was slit, and the blood in the hall was splashed everywhere.
In the midst of the exclamation, Wan Li's upright body instantly lay down on his back......
