It's an adult. They acted immediately, and at the same time, Song Ci and the others also rushed to the mansion of Cao Lihong in Lin'an again, and everyone walked to the destination again, and it took several hours for the dirty silver to be counted, totaling more than seven million taels, which made people dumbfounded.

The subordinates of Cao Lihong's mansion also immediately chose to surrender, and Song Ci, who committed serious crimes, was immediately executed, and the rest were disbanded.

With so much silver, Song Ci was also speechless, seven million silver, enough to use his own military camp for several years!

At the same time, the news of Cao Lihong's house raiding soon reached Wu Xi and Tang Harmony in Lin'an, and the two felt that disaster was coming, and they were at a loss, so they immediately gathered together.

They are not afraid that they will not be able to do it, and they are also involved in this matter, and it is unacceptable for Emperor Lizong to let others slaughter him.

"Lord Tang, the seriousness of the matter is guessed that you already know, don't be careless about this matter! You and I are officials in the same dynasty, but they are colleagues, and besides, you and I are also involved in this matter, what do you think of this matter?"

In the confined room, Tang Huo took a deep breath and said: "Lord Wu, except for this Cao Lihong, I'm afraid no one knows about our affairs, and now, we can't expect this person to take all the sins alone, we can't wait, it's a delay."

Wu Xi actually has this meaning, the matter is revealed, and none of the three of them can escape death, and now he can only lose his car to protect the handsome.

"Lord Tang, who can't speak? There are only dead people, we must make a dead hand, and besides, Cao Lihong has fallen into the hands of Song Ci and Lu You, as for the two of them, how can they open the net?"

"That's right, Lord Wu, this official suspects that tomorrow, these two people must take Lord Cao to the Hall of Election, and then I won't have a chance? When the time comes, I'll just come to a substitute!"

The two of them discussed for a long time, and finally left at this moment, and they decided to do so tomorrow.

At the same time, Song Ci and the others also discussed with Lu You that they would take Cao Lihong to Xuande Hall tomorrow to ask for their guilt.

As soon as they parted, Song Ci ordered Wenwu to transport all seven million silver to the barracks, and at the same time waited outside the palace.

More than 2,000 people were stationed here at the same time, and even if the soldiers in the palace saw it, they didn't dare to look at it.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, the civil and military officials who came to the court came, and Lu You also found Song Ci early in the morning, and the two came to the city gate] and waited quietly for time.

Soon, these people found out that Lord Cao was being bound, and immediately snorted coldly: "Bold Song Ci, this is Lord Cao of the Ministry of Rites, you dare to treat him like this, do you know what crime to be guilty of dealing with colleagues?" This is going to be beheaded, you know?"

"Yes, yes, Song Ci, you still don't let Cao Da lack the heart to wait for the emperor to condemn you. It's just enough to catch a golden man, why do you want to arrest Lord Cao?"

Song Ci was silent, and in the crowd, he didn't find Tang and Wu, for some reason. Soon, the eunuch came and opened the door, and then everyone walked in, and when they walked into the Xuande Palace, they saw that the two envoys were already in front.

There were officials on the side who were talking for Lord Cao, but Song Ci just ignored it and stood in the back waiting for the emperor. The coming of Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty.

Soon, Song Lizong came, everyone knelt down and got up, he saw Cao Lihong and a golden man tied up at a glance, and the next moment he was angry.

"Song Ci, you tell me, why do you want to tie up Lord Cao? At the same time, where is this golden man?"

Cao Lihong was covered with his mouth covered, and he couldn't speak.

Song Ci said: "Back to the emperor, this Cao Lihong was bold enough to send all the grain and silver given by the emperor to the Jin people through water.

"What?"

The pot has exploded in the Hall of Election, what's going on? Why, why is this so?

There are many people in the know who are in danger at this moment, and they have known it for a long time, but because they dare not tell the truth and have no evidence, they have to turn a blind eye to this matter.

But more of it was shocking, they couldn't figure out why someone was so bold at this moment to give all these things to the Jin people, which was simply the opposite.

Moreover, the Jin people have not gone south all these years, could it be that there is all this silver, grain and grass? It's been many years, and they've all been fattened!

Song Lizong slapped the table, and the whole person rose up angrily, "Bold Song Ci, you dare to frame your colleagues, how can I tolerate you today?" Unless you can come up with a real proof, how can I do what you want?"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Lihong also had some confidence in his heart, he felt that he might not be convicted today, and at the same time, there were Tang and Wu.

Tang Huo and Wu Xi's hearts were also a little calmer, and they were ready to act according to the situation.

At the same time, Lu You walked out, "Your Majesty, Song Ci is completely true, and the minister can testify to him, and at the same time, the arrest of Cao Lihong Shichen was also on the spot, and he did plan to transport 36 million silver and millions of catties of grain by water for the Jin people to transport back." ”

Everyone was shocked, Lu You, the director of the Criminal Department, had already spoken, this matter may not be easy to handle, this Cao Lihong may fall down, and he will never get up.

Song Lizong's face was gloomy, and with the strong evidence of Song Ci and Lu You, he began to doubt.

Tang Huo jumped out at this moment, "Your Majesty, this is just a one-sided statement between Lu You and Song Ci, I can't believe it at all, I can't believe it!" Lord Cao hasn't expressed his opinion yet, how can you not listen to him at this moment?"

Wu Xi also agreed, "Yes, the emperor, Lord Cao of the Ministry of Rites has been an official for decades, and he is almost sixty years now, how can I convict him of treason when he is about to return to his hometown?" In this way, I am afraid that the officials will not accept it. ”

Cao Lihong began to snicker, but his face still looked like he was at home, very decent, like General Yue Fei when he was dying in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Song Lizong waved his hand, "Come on, let Master Cao loosen his mouth, I also want to hear what he has to do." ”

Immediately, a guard stepped forward to act, the coarse cloth in Cao Lihong's mouth was torn open, he gasped, and then immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the minister is really wronged, this Song Ci was on the road to rob the minister to the border Zhu Zhi'an's silver, and then found a golden man to frame the minister, the emperor, you have to be clear."

"The minister is willing to die for the Great Song Dynasty, but he never wants to see the emperor deceived by Song Ci and Lu You.

"Also, your majesty, Song Ci took all the silver that his ministers transported to the border for himself, and he has already transported it to his military camp, Your Majesty, these ministers can testify to you.

This made Song Lizong completely unsure of who to believe, he had a headache, Lu You and Cao Tang Wu were all his cronies, but now there was infighting.

He rubbed his eyes and felt his eyes hurt.

Song Ci immediately said: "Your Majesty, this Cao Lihong, some of them are true, these silvers are indeed the military camps of the ministers, but the ministers are also forced to do so, more than 10,000 people, and the monthly expenditure must not be less than 100,000 taels, the emperor's court does not give the ministers food and silver, the ministers have to do this, I hope the emperor will forgive the sins."

, Song Ci knelt on the ground, and Lu You also knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Song Ci is completely true, this silver was sent back to the barracks by the minister, if the emperor wants to convict, then punish the minister.

Cao Lihong already felt hope, and at the same time, Tang and Wu also walked out.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled in a flash.

"Your Majesty, at this moment, it is not to pursue Cao Darao's matter, but this Song Ci is suspected of framing his colleagues, he should be beheaded, and he also took the silver for himself, if this matter is not severely punished, I am afraid that there will be people among the civil and military officials in the future, and there will be more and more such scenes."

In the entire Hall of Elective Virtue, there was a mess, there was everything, and there was chaos. Song Lizong shouted angrily: "If you want to figure out this matter, it's actually easy, that golden man, you speak, if you tell the truth, how about I give you a good time?"

He was relieved, but he just didn't kneel.

After glancing left and right, there was a wild laugh, with a provocation.

"The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, you are really a good emperor, could it be the officialdom of your Song Kingdom at the moment, you don't know what's going on?"

Cao, Tang and Wu immediately noticed that something was wrong, today's success or failure depends on this golden man, and if he tells the truth, he will be finished.

At the same time, Song Ci and Lu You are also worried, and their anxiety in their hearts is no less than that of others.

Song Lizong said: "If you have anything to say, I can accept it as the king of a country, and at the same time, no matter what you do today, no matter how you evaluate me, you will inevitably die."

Jin Yang: "Hehe, since your Great Song Emperor is already like this, then I won't take precautions, because you are blind, Emperor Lizong, you are a big step worse than Emperor Ningzong, a big section, you don't know at all, your subordinates are unexpectedly..."

Cao Lihong immediately shouted angrily, "Shut up, you are a golden man, Wu and Tang two adults, why haven't you dealt with this person?"

They didn't dare to act, the target at the moment was not Jin Ren but Cao Lihong, and at the same time, the emperor didn't receive the order, how could he dare to make his own opinion?

Jin Ren continued: "Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, do you know how much of the military salary you allocated in a year fell into the hands of our Liao State? Hahaha, how many of you are from the Great Liao Kingdom?"

Song Lizong's gloomy face, although he is young, it does not mean that he does not know good and evil, nor does he not know loyalty and traitorous courtiers.

Song Ci and Lu You secretly took a breath, and the worries in their hearts finally fell at this moment, and at the same time, this Cao Lihong was more than lucky today.

The other Tang and Wu are nervous at the moment, they don't know what will happen next, and they don't know how to act later, if Cao Lihong doesn't die, they will definitely suffer.

Song Lizong took a sip of tea, his eyes were blazing, and he looked ahead.

"If you have anything else to say, come out, I am gone, whether you praise me or demean me, you will not escape death today."
