Chapter 112: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
"Exactly, Prime Minister Meng Zhendong." Fu Qinglian's voice was not loud, but it caused a sensation in the court. The officials all whispered.
"Is there any evidence?" Fu Beixing pretended to be very surprised and asked.
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers have recorded all the contents of the assassin's confession, as well as the assassin's drawing." Fu Qinglian took out the piece of paper that recorded Meng Zhendong's crime from his arms and handed it to Fu Beixing.
Xiao Yinzi took it and handed it to Fu Beixing. Fu Beixing took it and looked at it, his expression gradually became stern, and his brows were tightly locked.
"Prime Minister Meng Zhendong, what do you have to say?" Fu Beixing asked in a cold tone.
"Back to the emperor, the minister was wronged, the minister never sent someone to assassinate King Jing, there must be a conspiracy in this, someone must want to frame the minister, please let the emperor know!" Meng Zhendong knelt on the ground and shouted wronged.
Fu Qinglian sneered, his acting was really good, it was obvious that he sent someone to assassinate Fu Qinglian, but now he pretended to be really framed, Fu Qinglian only felt ashamed.
Fu Beixing also began to sneer, Meng Zhendong is a person who usually does all the bad things, but he is exposed but he doesn't dare to admit it, and now he is kneeling on the ground like a dog and shouting wronged, which is really ridiculous.
"Oh? Frame? Then the prime minister said, "Who have you offended?" Who will frame you like this? Fu Beixing spoke quickly, sentence after sentence, without giving people time to react.
Meng Zhendong was stunned for a moment, and then lay on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the minister is sitting in this position, and there are more people who have inadvertently offended, and the minister doesn't know who will frame the minister." ”
"Oh? In this case, the prime minister should also go home and recuperate for a few days, so that there will not be many people who will offend you, and someone will frame you. Fu Beixing didn't give Meng Zhendong a chance to react, and directly seized his power.
"This ......" Meng Zhendong looked up, as if he wanted to say something?
"Does the Prime Minister have an opinion? Otherwise, let's investigate this case and see who is framing you? When the real culprit is found, I will return the official position to you. ”
Fu Beixing seems to be proposing, but he is actually testing Meng Zhendong, if Meng Zhendong dares to refuse, it means that he has a ghost in his heart.
Fu Beixing's move was really ruthless, not only robbing Meng Zhendong of his official position, but also blocking Meng Zhendong's mouth, so that he could not prevent the matter from continuing to investigate.
Su Yu secretly took a deep breath, fortunately he didn't make a move, otherwise he would be kneeling here today, I'm afraid it would be him.
"The minister has no opinion, and I hope that the emperor will find out the real culprit as soon as possible and return the minister's innocence." Meng Zhendong simply broke the jar and broke it, if he could find out something, he could still control it.
Anyway, this group of people has already been killed by him, and it is not so simple to dig something out of the dead man's body, even if the emperor spends a lot of effort, he may not be able to get any clues, not to mention that even if he finds out the evidence at that time, he can die and not admit it.
Except for the fish that slipped through the net and was caught by Fu Qinglian, everyone else was clean, and nothing could be found. As for the person who betrayed him, since Fu Beixing wants to investigate, he also has his own way.
"Oh? In that case, then I must investigate carefully and give justice to the prime minister. Fu Beixing sneered and said, I didn't expect this Meng Zhendong to be so calm now, and he didn't take all of them in his eyes at all.
It seems that he has grasped the handle that there is no evidence at all, so he dares to be so unscrupulous, but he probably doesn't know that the man in black has confessed everything, and then it will be his death.
Meng Zhendong is simply not dead in the heart of the Yellow River, but it doesn't matter, even if he can't be defeated by this, he can take the opportunity to take away his official position and hit his sharp spirit.
"The emperor is wise." Meng Zhendong kowtowed to Fu Beixing, although he looked very calm and indifferent on the surface.
Su Yu watched from the sidelines with horror, he couldn't get out of this matter, if the emperor wanted to investigate thoroughly, he would definitely find out about him.
Fortunately, he guessed that Meng Zhendong was going to start, so he decided to let Meng Zhendong do it first, and then inquire about the situation and then decide whether to start.
"Wang Shangshu, this matter is entrusted to you to investigate, and you must investigate the whole matter clearly." Fu Beixing said.
Among these ministers, too many people are in the company of Meng Zhendong and Su Yu, and there are few who are truly loyal to the sake of Qiguo. That's why so many people deliberately came out to impeach Fu Qinglian this time, which is actually a set of rhetoric that they deliberately acted as a traitor.
Because of the previous Southern Turkic affairs, Fu Beixing trusted Wang Qingyuan very much, this person is indeed a talent who can provide a lot of help to their country, if he is willing to use it for them, he will definitely be able to influence a lot of things in the future.
"Yes, I obey." Wang Qingyuan stepped forward and said.
"What else do you guys want to do?" Fu Beixing asked. The ministers were silent, today's changes in the court caught them a little off guard, once Meng Zhendong was involved, many people between them would be affected, and it was very likely that they would be uprooted at that time, and what they were doing behind their backs would be exposed to the emperor at a glance.
Many people are related to Meng Zhendong's interests, so they are also worried about Meng Zhendong's matter, and they also know what Meng Zhendong is doing behind his back, so they are very panicked now.
Seeing that Meng Zhendong had been robbed of his official position and was going to be investigated, Su Amnesty and his party were complacent.
In short, the officials in the court had their own ghosts and were thinking about their own affairs, so no one spoke.
"Retreat." Seeing that the ministers had nothing to say, Xiao Yinzi shouted loudly.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The ministers knelt down and shouted. With such a big change in the government this time, they were also panicked in their hearts, and they wanted to discuss this matter after they left the court.
Fu Beixing got up and left the court, and the other officials saw that Fu Beixing had left, so they got up and walked out while whispering.
Meng Zhendong and all the other officials left, and then he slowly got up, thinking that he would be famous in his life, and he would actually plant a heel in Fu Qinglian. Now that the official position is gone, and he still has to be investigated, what should he do?
Although Meng Zhendong received such a big punishment, he was still very unconvinced in his heart.
He looked at Fu Qinglian and gritted his teeth viciously: "Fu Qinglian, I have to avenge this revenge." ”
Meng Zhendong walked out of the court, but saw Fu Qinglian standing at the door. Meng Zhendong glanced at Fu Qinglian, raised his feet and walked forward, his mood at this time was even more depressed, and he couldn't wait to rush up and make a break directly.
Fu Qinglian also saw that Meng Zhendong had been staring at him all the time, "I knew today, why bother in the first place?" Fu Qinglian sneered.
"What is the prince talking about? Xia Guan didn't understand. Meng Zhendong smiled and pretended to be puzzled.
Now that the truth of everything has not been revealed, he doesn't want to admit his crime so quickly, otherwise wouldn't he be forcing himself to die?
"The time has not yet come, huh." After Fu Qinglian said this, he turned around and left.
Meng Zhendong looked at Fu Qinglian's distant back, a little distracted for a while, and he muttered: "It's not that I don't report it, the time has not yet come." "Finally, is Fu Lianlian going to deal with him?
Meng Zhendong sneered, he is over half a hundred years old, and he has decades more than Fu Qinglian in terms of experience and knowledge, how can Fu Qinglian fight him.
No matter how powerful this Fu Qinglian is, he is still young and vigorous, and he is much inferior to him in terms of experience and ability, how can he defeat him in this matter?
"I'd like to see what you can do with me." Meng Zhendong smiled mockingly and said in a low voice. Immediately, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the palace.
"Princess! Princess, no! Cuihua ran to Meng Hongyi's room in a panic.
"What's so flustered?" Meng Hongyi walked out when she heard the voice, her expression a little displeased. What she doesn't like the most is that her subordinates are shocked, as her personal maid, she must behave more dignifiedly, otherwise, she will lose her face.
"Princess, the slave maid heard that today in the court, the prince took out evidence, saying that the lord sent someone to assassinate him. When the emperor heard this, he was furious, so he deprived the lord of his official position and sent someone to investigate the lord. Cuihua said as she gasped.
"What?" When Meng Hongyi heard this, she was shocked. She didn't want to believe it, how could her father send someone to assassinate her husband? Besides, although the two have never been compatible, how could their father sit at this point?
"How is this possible? How could my father send someone to assassinate the prince? Did the prince believe it? How can the prince believe it? Someone must have framed my father behind his back! Meng Hongyi grabbed Cuihua's hand and said excitedly.
"Princess, don't worry, why don't you go and ask the prince first?" Cuihua proposed.
"Yes, I'm going to ask the prince, my father can't do such a thing, someone must be deliberately framed behind his back." Meng Hongyi said to herself.
Cuihua helped Meng Hongyi, and the two walked quickly to Fu Qinglian's room.
In front of Fu Qinglian's door, a guard blocked the door: "Princess, the prince said that he didn't see you today." ”
"Get out of the way!" Meng Hongyi ordered.
"The princess is angry, and the prince's subordinates dare not disobey his orders." The guards were still in front of Meng Hongyi, he didn't stump the princess last time, but he had already been beaten by the prince, so this time he definitely couldn't fight the princess to enter.
Meng Hongyi couldn't care so much at this moment, her husband on one side and her father on the other, how could she watch her husband and father do such a thing?
Now that her husband says that her father sent someone to assassinate him, Meng Hongyi just wants to know the truth.
Her father has loved her very much since she was a child, and since he knows that he has married Fu Qinglian as his wife, no matter what, it is impossible to assassinate him. There must be some misunderstanding between the two of them, and she is going to clarify this misunderstanding this time.
"You're so bold, even I dare to stop you, I'll let you get out of the way." Meng Hongyi was so angry that she directly pushed the guards away.
