For a moment, the entire lobby fell silent.

No one spoke anymore. Everyone knows it's going to be big.

Feng Sanyuan's accusation is too serious!

Once this big case of forming a party and running a private business is opened, there will be countless people who will be implicated, and even many people present will not be able to escape.

Many people looked at Wei Zhongxian, especially the people from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department.

This matter has nothing to do with them, they are purely eating melons. Now that something like this is happening, they don't know what to do for a while.

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian, and he also knew that he couldn't ask any more.

Feng Sanyuan's confession was too powerful.

Forming a party for personal gain is a big case. Wei Zhongxian knew that he needed to report to His Majesty, instead of interrogating him without authorization.

Because he was only responsible for interrogating the case of framing Xiong Tingbi, and now that there is a new situation, he can't make claims without permission, so he naturally has to report to His Majesty.

But before that, there is one thing that needs to be investigated. That was the cause of Zhang Laosan's death.

"Everyone," Wei Zhongxian's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he slowly spoke, "Our family feels that this case should be suspended. After our family goes to His Majesty Chen, the trial will be held. ”

When everyone heard this, they quickly nodded. That's the best option.

Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian glanced at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, they were really afraid, afraid that Wei Zhongxian would be desperate to try it and directly nail the case into a big case of forming a party for personal gain. If that's the case, then things are in trouble.

However, they also felt that Wei Zhongxian did not dare. Because once Wei Zhongxian does that, he is forcing His Majesty to choose one of the two.

either believe Wei Zhongxian and directly set a big case of forming a party for personal gain;

Either you don't believe in Wei Zhongxian, then in this way, Wei Zhongxian will be abolished.

There is no other choice, and there is no room for His Majesty to turn around.

Wei Zhongxian naturally wouldn't be so stupid. Although he really wanted to kill Yang Lian, Zou Yuanbiao and others, it was not appropriate to take him as a price.

Wei Zhongxian didn't want to die with them. Now that you have the advantage, why bother playing the trick of ending up together?

Anyway, now that Zhang Laosan's death is dead, Yang Lian can't explain it clearly. Feng Sanyuan's accusations alone were enough for them to drink a pot.

"Since everyone has no opinion, let's withdraw for the time being." After speaking, Wei Zhongxian ignored the reaction of everyone, stood up directly, and walked straight outside, he was going to enter the palace to report to His Majesty.

Not far away, Wei Zhongxian saw Sun Yunhe standing not far away, so he stopped in place and waited for Sun Yunhe to come over.

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian was waiting for him, Sun Yunhe didn't dare to slack off, ran to Wei Zhongxian's side quickly, and said respectfully: "Father-in-law, our people have already examined the corpse." Zhang Laosan had no external injuries, and it could be seen on his face that he was not poisoned. There is only one strangled mark on the neck, and judging from the shape, it should not have been strangled to death. ”

"Our people can also tell that the strangulation marks on Zhang Laosan's neck are actually injuries before death, not after death."

After listening to Sun Yunhe's words, Wei Zhongxian asked impatiently: "In other words, this Zhang Laosan hanged himself, not strangled or poisoned?" ”

Sun Yunhe was suddenly a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Judging from the current situation, we can only make such a conclusion. ”

Wei Zhongxian nodded, "Our family wants to enter the palace to visit Your Majesty Chen, and the matter here will be handed over to you." Take a good look at the living people, and let his subordinates go to Zhang Laosan's house to search and see if there is any gain. Our family is away for a period of time, and absolutely nothing is allowed. If something happens, Sun Yunhe, don't ask for your head! ”

"Father-in-law rest assured, his subordinates understand that they will not disappoint their father-in-law." Sun Yunhe said solemnly.

Wei Zhongxian left Dali Temple.

Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian didn't stay any longer, they needed to go back and find a way.

Now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid the previous idea won't work. Originally, they wanted to pull Wei Zhongxian down through the confessions and accusations of Feng Sanyuan and others. But now it seems that everyone has fallen for Wei Zhongxian.

While walking out, Zou Yuanbiao asked Yang Lian in a low voice: "Wen Ru, let me ask you, did you instigate Zhang Laosan's matter?" Now in this situation, you don't need to hide it from me. If it's you, we're in this together; If it weren't for you, we'd have to think of something else. Now that Wei Zhongxian has entered the palace, he will definitely not say good things about you and me in front of His Majesty. ”

Listening to Zou Yuanbiao's question, Yang Lian frowned and said, "How could I do such a thing?" How unwise is that? ”

Sighing softly, Zou Yuanbiao didn't know whether to trust Yang Lian.

If you don't believe it, then sell Yang Lian;

If you believe......

Zou Yuanbiao didn't have much confidence in his heart, after all, he still believed in Feng Sanyuan and others before. As a result, Feng Sanyuan directly deducted a hat for forming a party for personal gain.

Sure enough, the betrayer was the most ruthless.

Wei Zhongxian also wanted to involve them through Xiong Tingbi's case before. But now it's different, Feng Sanyuan directly came up with a party for personal gain.

The big basket of cliques and selfishness can put them all in it.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the couch and ate the dried fruit preserves in front of him expressionlessly, these snacks seemed to be more delicious than some well-known stores in later generations.

Glancing at Chen Hong, who was standing diagonally below, Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth and asked, "Everything is done?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's done." Chen Hong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Zhang San is already dead, and the slave and maid watched him hang himself. This man's slave has been sent away, and he will never come back in this life. ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and said with a smile: "You don't need to tell me about these things, you can do it yourself." ”

Of course, Zhu Youxiao would not ask about this kind of thing, if he knew it in his heart, it would be inconvenient to deal with Chen Hong in the future.

Moreover, if the matter broke out, there was no need for him to kill Chen Hong, just send him directly to Nanjing to serve as a clean army.

Zhu Youxiao believed. Chen Hong will be satisfied with this kind of end.

As for that Zhang Laosan, he is actually Chen Hong's person.

How Chen Hong's people infiltrated out, this Zhu Youxiao also knows.

At this time, collusion between court ministers and internal officials is nothing new.

Whether it is the Donglin Party, or the Qizhejiang Chu Party, or other military generals and nobles, colluding with eunuchs to find out the news, this is what they often do.

Wei Zhongxian has people outside, Wang An has people outside, and Chen Hong naturally has people outside.

During this period of time, Wei Zhongxian was favored, and his status rose. But Chen Hong is the same, although he did not supervise Dongchang, he also became a eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Hong has been serving by His Majesty's side these days.

What does this mean?

This shows that His Majesty is cultivating Chen Hong.

Maybe after Wang An goes, Chen Hong will become the eunuch of the master of ceremonies.

And the palm seal eunuch is higher in status than the eunuch Bingbi and Wei Zhongxian, the commander of Dongchang.
