Chapter 114: Privately Minted Copper Coins

It's just that I don't know if this person was deliberately made up by the prince to threaten Meng Zhendong, or is it true?

"Exactly. This person is now being held in a prison cell in the city of Weinan. Fu Qinglian said calmly, fortunately, they kept an eye on it at the time and let this person survive, otherwise, how could they have grabbed Meng Hong's clothes so easily this time.

Wang Shangshu almost understood everything, and he was relieved in his heart, after having evidence this time, fate would definitely favor them, and it would be completely on their side, and it would be much easier to deal with these things.

"Can the prince show the charges to the lower officials?" Wang Qingyuan asked.

Fu Qinglian didn't speak, took out the assassin's guilt from his arms, and handed it to Wang Qingyuan. Wang Qingyuan took it, opened it and looked at it carefully.

Wang Shangshu is still good at dealing with this matter, but after reading the incriminating evidence, his brows slowly wrinkled, as if he had encountered something tricky, Fu Qinglian looked at his expression.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with this indictment? ”

"The prince knows that this crime alone can't bring him down." Wang Qing suddenly spoke.

Fu Qinglian was shocked, how did Wang Qingyuan know that he wanted to bring down Meng Zhendong? He had never told Wang Shangshu about this matter, and the two of them were not very familiar with each other before, so it stands to reason that Wang Shangshu should not have observed Fu Qinglian too much.

But this time I guessed it very correctly.

"This king naturally knows that Wang Shangshu also wants to bring down Meng Zhendong?" Fu Qinglian pretended to be casual, but in fact, he already had some doubts about Wang Qingyuan in his heart.

He began to have some doubts about what Wang Shangshu's purpose was for coming to him, could it be that Wang Shangshu was also from Meng Zhendong's side, so this time he deliberately came to test himself to see how much evidence he had in his hands.

"Naturally, Meng Zhendong relied on his power to do nonsense and disturb the court, as far as the lower officials know, he also wanted the life of the prince many times, this kind of person staying in the court is the misfortune of the emperor, and it is the misfortune of Qiguo." Wang Qingyuan said resentfully.

When Fu Qinglian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Wang Qingyuan was also the one who wanted Meng Zhendong to fall, so that they could cooperate with each other, as long as it did not do them much harm, Fu Qinglian was still willing to cooperate with them.

"Wang Shangshu doesn't think that this king abused his power and didn't take the emperor in his eyes?" Fu Qinglian said tentatively.

"The prince laughed, although the prince is a little arbitrary and likes to cut first and then play, but according to the observation of the lower officials, what the prince does is good for Qiguo, and bad things for Qiguo, the prince has never done it." Wang Qingyuan explained with a smile.

"It is a blessing for Qiguo to have the prince here, and the lower officials don't have to worry, the prince will damage the interests of Qiguo because of his personal interests, and he doesn't have to worry that the prince will seize power and usurp the throne for his own selfishness." Wang Qingyuan looked at Fu Qinglian and said confidently.

Wang Qingyuan has always been very accurate in looking at people, so he believes in his own judgment and believes in Fu Qinglian.

"Wang Shangshu has a good reputation, since this is the foundation of the ancestors to start the country, this king naturally wants to guard it for them." Fu Qinglian smiled and said. He was suddenly moved, for the first time someone saw his true intentions and believed him in this way.

This is really not an easy thing, I hope this Wang Shangshu can really be as he thinks, he can fully trust it, this is the best thing for him.

"Is the prince willing to work with the lower officials to find evidence of the dirty things that Meng Zhendong did and pull him down?" Wang Qingyuan asked.

"With Wang Shangshu's help, this king is naturally very happy." Fu Qinglian replied. The two looked at each other and smiled, and they were on the same side.

"Wang Shangshu has other clues that can defeat Meng Zhendong?" Fu Qinglian asked. He hadn't set his sights on Meng Zhendong before, but now that he thinks about it, there really are no clues.

"Xiaguan has a clue." Wang Qingyuan said softly. Seeing this, Fu Qinglian approached Wang Qingyuan, but he didn't expect Wang Shangshu to come this time to bring such important news, which was also a bit beyond Fu Qinglian's expectations, but this was also a good thing for them.

"Lord Wang, someone under the lower officials has investigated that Meng Zhendong bought a lot of shops in the capital and opened a shop in the name of his subordinates, and the copper coins used to buy the shops may be the copper coins he mined privately." Wang Qingyuan lowered his voice and said in Fu Qinglian's ear.

This matter is a great thing, Meng Zhendong actually dared to deliberately forge copper coins in secret, this is a very serious matter for a country, if evidence can be found in this matter, he can be sentenced to the ground.

"Is there any evidence?" Fu Qinglian was shocked, this Meng Zhendong actually had such a big courage to dare to mine copper mines and mint copper coins privately, this is a big crime of killing his head, Meng Zhendong is afraid that he will really die for money.

He really missed such a big step this time, as long as this matter is proved to be true, it will be effortless to bring him down when the time comes.

Wang Shangshu nodded, saying that this matter was indeed true, and he dared to believe it after many times of research.

"There is no evidence, but this mine should be near the capital, and the prince has now resigned from his official position, and he can investigate everywhere when he has time." Wang Qingyuan said.

Fu Qinglian nodded. What Wang Qingyuan said made sense, at this time, Meng Zhendong's attention should be on the assassination in Weinan, and what he has to watch out for at this moment is probably Wang Qingyuan, and he will definitely put all his eyes on Wang Qingyuan at that time.

In this way, Meng Zhendong will not pay attention to the movements of Fu Qinglian's side. Fu Qinglian has now been regained power, and there is almost no way to influence the court in court politics.

It's just an idle prince, take advantage of this time to explore Meng Zhendong's mine, it's best, as long as this matter is not known to others with great fanfare, then I am still very safe.

When the time came, he found evidence that Meng Zhendong had minted copper coins in mines privately, coupled with the assassination case in Weinan City, which caught him off guard. When the time comes, no matter how much ability Meng Zhendong has, he will not be able to return to the sky.

"Okay, then the king will go around to find out where Meng Zhendong is mining copper, and the case of Weinan City will be handed over to Wang Shangshu." Fu Qinglian arranged.

"Yes." Wang Qingyuan nodded, and the two hit it off, and immediately arranged this matter, ready to go at any time.

"Oh, if you need to, you can contact the prefect of Weinan City, it was he who saved the king, and it was he who wrote the song and sent someone to send it back to the capital quickly, and the royal brother learned that the king was injured, so he sent troops to meet the king."

"If it weren't for him, I'm afraid it would be difficult for this king to return to Beijing safely." Fu Qinglian thought of the prefect of Weinan City, he is indeed a person who can be trusted, it seems that this matter can indeed be entrusted to the prefect.

"Xia Guan understands." Wang Qingyuan carefully remembered what Fu Qinglian said. Although the assassination of Weinan City could not bring down Meng Zhendong, if the incident of privately mining copper mines and privately minting copper coins was added, Meng Zhendong would definitely die.

"In that case, then Xia Guan will go back first. For this crime, I hope that the prince can lend it to the lower officials. Wang Qingyuan said.

"Wang Shangshu will take it, but it needs to be taken care of." Fu Qinglian said.

"That's as it should be." Wang Qingyuan nodded.

"Resignation."

"Wang Shangshu walks slowly." Fu Qinglian stood up and watched Wang Qingyuan push open the door and leave.

Fu Qinglian originally just wanted to take this opportunity to attack Meng Zhendong, at least let him be more restrained and not be so arrogant. Unexpectedly, Wang Qingyuan would come to the door by himself and say that he would bring down Meng Zhendong with Fu Qinglian.

If the news that Wang Qingyuan got was true, then Meng Zhendong would have to finish sooner or later.

"It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come, Meng Zhendong, you wait and see." Fu Qinglian said with a sneer.

After Hua Shenyue came out of Fu Qinglian's study. So he wandered around the garden in all kinds of boredom. Now that she is Fu Qinglian's personal maid, she doesn't need to do other chores in the house.

Hua Shenyue sat on the swing in the garden, swinging for a while. Now that Meng Hongyi has also been banned by Fu Qinglian, Hua Shenyue doesn't have to worry about someone coming to her for trouble.

"Shen Yue, why are you here?" Hua Shenyue suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Mei Xiang, it's you, long time no see." Hua Shenyue looked up and saw Mei Xiang running towards her, so she stood up from the swing.

"Long time no see, where have you been, why haven't I seen you in the house for so long?" Mei Xiang asked.

"Oh, I'm following Ah ...... The prince went around doing errands. Hua Shenyue explained.

"Why did the prince take you with him when he went to do something? Could it be? Mei Xiang asked a little tentatively, observing Hua Shenyue's expression as she spoke.

"No, no, I am the prince's personal maid, and the prince takes me with him on errands, also to serve him conveniently." Hua Shenyue guessed what Mei Xiang hadn't finished, so she immediately waved her hand and explained.

Hua Shenyue doesn't want to be thought that she has something to do with Fu Qinglian, although she likes Fu Qinglian, but no matter what, the current relationship between the two is the relationship between master and servant.

"Really?" Mei Xiang was obviously a little unconvinced, and her gaze fell on Hua Shenyue, which was quite exploratory.

"yes." Hua Shenyue nodded affirmatively. For some reason, she suddenly felt that Mei Xiang's eyes made her a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, why don't you sit in my room?" Seeing this, Mei Xiang didn't ask much, immediately changed her eyes and invited Hua Shenyue to her room.

"No need, just now the prince was talking to others, so I just came to the garden for a walk, I'm afraid that the prince will need someone to serve but can't find me, next time I'll go, thank you for your kindness." Hua Shenyue waved her hand and subconsciously refused.
