Yan Rui slowly walked up to the Golden Hall and knelt on the steps, her small mouth opened slightly, and her voice was like a yellow warbler, "Little woman Yan Rui sees the emperor, long live long live!" ”

Zhao Lingyu looked down and saw a woman kneeling on the Dan steps, so he asked in a deep voice, "Yan Rui, are you guilty." ”

Yan Rui was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Little girl, she has been wronged and wronged, she has been punished, and she doesn't know what crime she has committed, please make it clear to the emperor." As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials gasped. A little woman dares to question the current emperor, and she is not small.

Zhao Lingyu couldn't help but be stunned, looking at the woman below who didn't answer according to common sense, he was surprised in his heart, such a bold woman dared to question in person. Then his face sank, and he said, "Raise your head." ”

Yan Rui slowly raised her head, and looked directly at Zhao Lingyu with a pair of bright eyes, with a resolute and fearless face.

Zhao Lingyu smiled lightly, what a strong woman. So he lowered his face, stared at her and asked, "For you, a little girl, you actually want to investigate the first-class master, do you still say that you are not guilty?" ”

Yan Rui still looked resolute, "Do you have to have a little woman who has no power to bear the crime of imposing, the ancients said, the prince broke the law, and the common people were guilty of the same crime, could it be that if you are in a high position, you can ignore the shame and make it difficult for the strong." Is it possible to impose the crime on a humble and weak woman in order to save her face, if the emperor and the ministers also admit it like this, if so, the little woman has nothing to say, and she will dye the gold rank with her blood. ”

Zhao Lingyu looked at the resolute and resolute woman, slowed down and said: Taichang Temple Zhengqing said that you couldn't seduce her for some reason, and you stole the property in the house, but there is such a thing. ”

Yan Rui's eyes sneered, wanting to cover the mistant, not to mention that there are no words, I am a woman, the path is unfamiliar, how to steal, even if the property is stolen, with the power of my hands, how can I take the property out of the house. The little woman is just humble and not stupid. Please make a clear decision. ”

Zhao Lingyu chuckled, a clear sentence. But his face sank, and he slapped the dragon case and shouted: "Taichang Temple Zhengqing, you are guilty." ”

Taichang Siqing trembled, slumped on the ground, and his mouth was still stiff, "The minister doesn't know what crime he has committed." ”

Zhao Lingyu sneered, "As a first-class member, you misbehaved and forced others, which is a crime." If you can't force it, you will defile others and steal, which is a second crime. Tempting others to frame their colleagues is also a triple sin. When the temptation and framing failed, he was sentenced to a heavy punishment, forced to press his fingerprints, and sentenced to a felony in an attempt to kill his mouth. There are four sins. You are punished for four sins, come on! Take him down and remove him from his post for investigation. As soon as he finished speaking, a guard stepped forward and dragged him down.

Zhao Lingyu said to Yan Rui: "Although you have fallen into the dust, you are strong by nature, I will crown you as a righteous daughter of the martyrs, take off your lowly pretext, and allow you to marry from a good person." ”

Yan Rui knelt on the jade steps and kowtowed again and again, "The little woman doesn't want to be rewarded, but I ask the emperor to take the place of her father and avenge her grievances to prove her clarity." ”

"Oh, what grievances does your father have, and what is his official position?" Zhao Lingyu asked in a pleasant voice.

"Father, solemn, was originally a five-grade warehouse manager of the household department, and was fouled to be guarded and stolen, and my father proved his innocence, and in a fit of anger, he touched the pillar in front of the warehouse door and died. The little girl died overnight, her parents died, her family assets were confiscated, and she fell into the dust. Please ask the emperor to be aware of everything and avenge his father's grievances. ”

Zhao Lingyu's face sank and said: "This case has been closed as early as five years, and the warehouse management is strictly supervised by self-theft, and 50,000 taels of silver were copied out of his home. The evidence is conclusive, and he committed suicide in fear of crime. How can it be wronged. ”

Yan Rui smiled sadly and said: "There are only five rooms in my house, and there are less than five servants, so if you can put 50,000 taels of silver in your home." Besides, a total of 500,000 taels of treasury silver was lost, even if 50,000 taels were found in my house, and 450,000 taels of treasury silver were still there, it would not be my father who would move away 500,000 taels of silver in just ten days, and others would not know! There must be something strange about this matter, please ask the emperor to investigate it and return my father's innocence. After saying that, he touched the ground with his head, bang, bang, bang, and blood flowed down his little face.

Zhao Lingyu looked sideways, recalling the case file five years ago, but there were many loopholes, could it really be someone else. If so, then righteousness is nothing more than a scapegoat, to be taken on behalf of others. Thinking of this, Zhao Lingyu's heart sank, and he said: "Okay, I will order someone to re-investigate the case of the loss of the treasury silver of the household department." What would you do if it was found out again that it was your father who was guarding and stealing from him? ”

Yan Rui raised her head with a resolute expression, "If it is really my father's doing, I am willing to die to apologize for my father." ”

"Well, then, get up. If your father is really wronged, I will tell the world to avenge your father's wrongs. If not, you are prepared to pay death for your sins. Yan Rui retreated from the Golden Palace.

Zhao Lingyu looked at the civil and military officials in the court and asked, "Which of you originally intended to investigate this case?" The officials glanced at each other, but no one said a word, this is a thankless thing, and if you don't do it, you will lose your official position and be dismissed.

Zhao Lingyu saw that no one was displeased: "Could it be that all the Qing families are unwilling to do things for me." ”

Mao Lingfeng saw that no one was willing, so he stepped forward and said: "Uncle Huang, the niece has nothing to do, and I am in charge of this matter, anyway, the niece is not afraid of offending the ministers present." And this matter is also caused by me, so it is up to me to put an end to it. ”

"Okay, since Feng'er is interested, then Feng'er will re-investigate this matter by sitting in the household department, and all the officials involved in this matter will be dealt with by Feng'er with full authority, and if there is anyone who does not cooperate, there will be no forgiveness!" Zhao Lingyu's face was gloomy. swept the ministers of civil and military affairs in the hall and walked away.

Mao Lingfeng took Zhiqi and Li Chengyong and immediately went directly to the Hubu warehouse, looked at the warehouse, observed carefully, and asked about the scene when Yan Zheng died at that time. He came to Yan Rui's house in person, but it was actually five ordinary tiled houses, Yan Zheng and his wife lived in the main room, Yan Rui lived in a side room, a firewood room, a kitchen, and a side room where two rough servants lived. It is impossible to put down 50,000 taels of silver. It can be seen that there must be a greasy in it. So Zhang Ming, the director of the Criminal Department who was in charge of the investigation at that time, was summoned on the spot.

Zhang Ming knelt on the ground tremblingly, "The lower official Zhang Ming sees the eldest princess." ”

Mao Lingfeng waved his hand and said, "That's it, Lord Zhang, please get up, I want to ask Lord Zhang, did you bring someone to find 50,000 taels of silver in Yanzheng's house at that time?" ”

Zhang Ming's head broke out in cold sweat, and he said tremblingly: "The eldest princess of Qiyu is the lower official. ”

"Oh...... In that case, tell me what you found there, and find 50,000 taels of silver. Whether to put the left wing, or the right wing, or the partial room, the main room. Or is it hidden underground? Mao Lingfeng's eyes were sharp, his voice was low, he stared at Zhang Ming tightly, and asked sharply.

Zhang Ming wiped his sweat and said hesitantly: "It's in the east wing." ”

"Well, really?" Mao Lingfeng slapped Zhuo Zi and shouted: "It's nonsense, the east wing room, there is only a firewood room and a kitchen, how can you put 50,000 taels of silver." ”

"Ahh Xia Guan remembered that he was wrong, and he found it in the West Wing. Zhang Ming hurriedly changed his words.

Mao Lingfeng was furious, slapped Zhuo Zi, full of momentum, and shouted: "There are two servants living in the west wing, and there are still 50,000 taels of silver left there. You are full of nonsense, and the treasury silver is clearly pulled from elsewhere, slandering Yanzheng. Whom have you been commanded, and why have you slandered the stern? Where did the 50,000 taels of silver come from, and they did not hurry up to confess so that they would not suffer from flesh and skin. ”

Zhang Ming trembled, "The lower official really searched out from the strict house, but after a long time, the official couldn't remember it clearly." ”

Mao Lingfeng sneered, "Okay! If you want to bear the black pot for others, do you know that stealing treasury silver and defiling the court officials, what kind of crime should you be guilty of, your parents, wives and children will die because of you. ”

Zhang Ming collapsed to the ground, looked at the woman with a cold body with eyes like a torch, opened his mouth, and said for a while: "I just acted on orders, why should the eldest princess get to the bottom of it and stand up for a cheap prostitute." ”

Mao Lingfeng smiled coldly and said: "She was originally the daughter of the official family, the pearl of her parents, but it was because of your defilement and solemnity that she lost her parents and fell into the dust." If you are so obsessed again, your daughter will follow in Yan Rui's footsteps, I don't know if you have thought about it. ”

Zhang Ming opened his mouth, and said for a long time: "The lower official is just acting on orders, and he doesn't know anything else." Please princess to see. ”

Mao Lingfeng's eyes were like knives, "Of course I know that you are acting on orders, and you don't have the courage to steal the treasury silver." Who is the one who directs you. Don't say it yet. Otherwise, a great punishment will be served. ”

Zhang Ming sighed, "It's Prime Minister Zuo, Zhou Kui." ”

Mao Lingfeng nodded, if he didn't have a high position, how could he instruct the officials of the Criminal Department to slander others. So he ordered Zhang Ming to write down his confession and press his fingerprint. Zhang Ming was temporarily imprisoned. The prison supervisor of the Criminal Department was instructed to take strict precautions to prevent murder and extermination. Now that the matter involves the powerful people of the dynasty, Mao Lingfeng did not dare to act rashly, took the confession, and directly found Zhao Lingyu.

Zhao Lingyu read the confession and was furious, "Check it for me, find out to the end, who is so bold to steal the national treasury silver and frame Zhongliang." As long as it is verified, it will not be tolerated. ”

Mao Lingfeng pondered for a while, "If this matter is investigated again, I am afraid that it will involve officials at all levels of the household department and the criminal department, and I am afraid that the court will be shaken." ”

Zhao Lingyu waved his sleeves, "Investigate, we must investigate thoroughly, to see who is so bold that they dare to steal the treasury and defile the court officials under my nose." You just have to check it out with me. ”

Mao Lingfeng listened, "If my niece knows it, I'll leave first." After that, he said goodbye and returned to the eldest princess's mansion.

The next day, Mao Lingfeng, who was already in the treasury of the household department, carefully knocked on every inch of the wall and every inch of land under his feet, and did not find the secret passage of the organ, which was a little strange, it was impossible for 500,000 taels of silver to be transported out quietly in just one month. Could it be that it was shipped out of the gate of the treasury in the open. How is this possible! The Bank of China must go through five inspections, and the five foreign signatures and seals can be used to transport the treasury out.

Mao Lingfeng shook his head and checked the ground again, but still found nothing. She stood in the middle, looking around, there were no windows, no secret doors, could she not fly? No, there must be something else that hasn't been found. Suddenly, she saw a dozen boxes of treasury silver piled up in the corner of the wall.
