Chapter 259: Impeachment after the banquet

But in general, today's banquet was a complete success after all, and after the night was quiet, the crowd went one after another, but today was also very bad, a group of people on General Cheng's side were greedy for flowers and wine, and there were people in Xicheng who committed crimes against the wind and burned down the Ningyuan Inn.

The result of this arson case was that General Cheng gave the little emperor a hard lesson the next day, and after General Cheng retired from the court with a sad face, he could only hurriedly find the culprit of the arson case.

As for Li Zhongxuan, he only later learned that on the same day of his birthday, something like that happened in the imperial capital.

After the banquet, Li Zhongxuan also devoted himself to the investigation of the dire case, in fact, smart people know that this fire is likely to be released by Ning Yuan's own people, and if they make such a fuss, Li Zhongxuan and General Cheng will be in danger.

is a good general, eats flowers and wine until dark, and doesn't even care about the life or death of the people.

Then, what Li Zhongxuan was most afraid of facing really happened, and the other two Ningyuan businesses in Xicheng were burned in two different nights, and as soon as the case was reported here, General Cheng hurried over.

"Oh, the secretary of the military department, the general! We're a big deal, the Queen Mother booked something in our business next month, and now we're going to be ruined! Two, do yourself a good look and check it out. ”

The shopkeeper came over with a bitter gourd face and cried, Li Zhongxuan and General Cheng took over a lot of these difficult cases, but it was even more difficult to investigate the ugly people.

On this day, the matter of Ning Yuan's business also reached Shen Qiao'an's ears. Shen Qiaoan saw Guo Jingning coming, and asked about Ning Yuan by the way.

It stands to reason that she, the second-level shopkeeper, must be very worried, but here in Guo Jingning, she is all right.

This made Shen Qiaoan feel strange.

"Daddy said, this is not something I should worry about, but then again, Ning Yuan's big shopkeeper is powerful, even if the sky falls, our subordinates are afraid, besides, everything that burns down is the worst ones that do business, okay, don't talk about this."

Guo Jingning just said it casually, but he was also afraid that he would accidentally say something that should not be leaked.

Bidding farewell to Shen Qiaoan, Li Zhongxuan actually arrived, and Li Zhongxuan brazenly went to the county lord's mansion, this is the second time.

For the first time, Li Zhongxuan and Guo Jingning came, but Shen Qiaoan's attitude was lukewarm throughout the whole process, which made Li Zhongxuan's heart angry.

This is Li Zhongxuan's second visit, acting alone, and avoiding Shen Qiaoan.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Shen Qiao'an's tone was cold, a little rejecting the silence of thousands of miles away.

Li Zhongxuan sighed - "Have you been investigating Ning Yuan recently?" Shen Qiaoan sneered and did not answer.

"Hurry up and stop the operation, they have discovered your secret, don't go to Guo's mansion, now that all his arrangements have been made, just wait for you to be caught." Li Zhongxuan was too worried about Shen Qiao'an, so he came over and told Qiao An all these secrets.

But Shen Qiao'an hooked her lips coldly, "Are you finished?" ”

Li Zhongxuan was stunned when he heard this, "Is this an eviction order?" ”

"Why should I trust you?" Shen Qiaoan frowned, "The jealous and hateful Li Zhongxuan before no longer exists, and now Li Zhongxuan is a demon, you go out, I don't believe a word." ”

"Shen Qiaoan, calm down, I said this is all for your good."

"I don't need you for my good, get out!" Shen Qiaoan pointed to the door angrily, Li Zhongxuan's lips squirmed, and he wanted to say something, but looking at Shen Qiaoan, Qiao An's face was blue and his expression was indifferent, what else could he do?

Seeing Li Zhongxuan leave in a daze, Shen Qiaoan went to the door and closed the door, but his body was paralyzed and he fell to the ground.

What's the matter, the distance between the two of them...... It's like a kite with a broken string, the farther it goes, the farther it becomes.

Luo Huaiyi didn't know who Qiao An had just said goodbye to, but at this moment, when he saw Shen Qiaoan sitting behind the door in a good manner, he hurriedly walked over, he thought that Shen Qiaoan was suffering from heat stroke.

"Are you alright?" Luo Huaiyi fanned Shen Qiaoan with concern, and Qiao An was stunned and got up blankly.

"Are you alright?"

"Maybe it's heat stroke, it's a hot day."

In the afternoon, Shen Qiao'an had more mung bean soup in his meal, and after the two of them ate, Qiao An said: "Now, if you can't go to Guo's mansion, then Ningyuan's matter will immediately end the action." Actually, after Li Zhongxuan went, Shen Qiaoan had a lot of thoughts.

Although, as far as Shen Qiaoan himself is concerned, he doesn't believe that Ning Yuan and Guo Fu are targeting them, but the current situation is too strange, in this dangerous situation, she doesn't want Luo Huaiyi to encounter unpredictable dangers.

Luo Huaiyi nodded repeatedly.

Here, Luo Huaiyi and the others terminated the operation, and all kinds of miscellaneous things were still emerging in the imperial capital, just like Ning Yuan had offended an invisible opponent, and among the ten cases, more than three of them were related to Ning Yuan.

In the final analysis, the initiators of these cases are indeed their own people, and as soon as the cases outside are made, the officers and men are busy investigating them.

This night, Guo Songyang went to find the son of Que Jinqiu again, and the son gave Guo Songyang a brand new list, "Recently, you have arranged these things very well." This is a brand new list, and they will assist you in the event of something in the court. ”

Guo Songyang really couldn't imagine that the Lord was so hand-eyed, he didn't dare to take a look at who was on this list at the moment, and the man said: "Now, you can already contact me one-line, but you must pay more attention to safety than before, leave as soon as possible, don't lose this list again." ”

"My subordinates understand." After all, Guo Songyang still had questions-"But my subordinates are puzzled, why did we Ningyuan burn down so many shops?" ”

"This question is not yet the time when the mystery is revealed, you go and contact these people first, and then come back to me at this time tomorrow." After the finch man finished speaking, he turned and left.

The two of them had been working together for a long time, and he felt more and more admiration for the man in the golden fur, as if there was a strange magic in him.

After retiring that day, Guo Songyang didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly contacted the people on the list, and the group of people was still united, and at the same time on the second day, Guo Songyang arrived in the tunnel, and the man smiled.

"Do things according to this, God knows you know I know, and I will do it tomorrow." Guo Songyang focused his eyes on the piece of paper, the content on the paper was not complicated, but Guo Songyang was dumbfounded.

He claimed to be a smart man, but his little cleverness paled in comparison to that of a man in the finch and the golden-furred man.

By the second day, Li Zhongxuan went to court.

Li Zhongxuan was summoned by the little emperor, he didn't want to go, and Li Zhongxuan had just arrived at the Jinluan Palace, and he felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and everyone saw that Li Zhongxuan was coming, and some people pointed at Li Zhongxuan, and some people whispered to Li Zhongxuan.

"Weichen, long live my emperor." Li Zhongxuan suppressed the curiosity in his heart and gradually raised his eyes to look at the emperor.

The little emperor said, "Excuse yourself from courtesy", let Li Zhongxuan stand in the middle of the class, and followed the little emperor and pointed to the person next to him.

"Li Zhongxuan, today's ministers impeached you, I can't imagine that Zhongjing has had so many headless public cases since you became the secretary of the military department."

The more the little emperor spoke, the more angry he became, "Look at you, these cases, see for yourself." The little emperor pointed to the file on the table, and the eunuch Wang Buddha hurriedly held the file and sent it to Li Zhongxuan.

After Li Zhongxuan saw it, he sneered.

"Weichen and others thought that Li Zhongxuan was derelict in his duties, a few days ago he celebrated his birthday, and at the banquet with General Cheng, they drank and drank, and they just paid it back, but it led to thieves rampant stealing Ningyuan's business name, not to mention, but also burned down people's shops, for this matter, the common people beat the drum and shouted grievances, saint! Please adjudicate. ”

The representative figure of Li Zhongxuan's impeachment here is Guo Songyang, and when Guo opened his mouth, a large group of guys with Eguanbo behind him all knelt behind, shouting "seconded by ministers" in desperation.

Li Zhongxuan stared at the file in front of him and looked carefully, it turned out that he had failed so much as an official.

"I don't want to punish you, but look at what is written on these black and white papers, I think about small punishments and big commandments," the little emperor muttered, "You go to Xichuan, that is the most remote and poor place in my court, you have managed Xichuan well, and I will come back early!" ”

When the people heard this, they said, "My lord is wise." ”

It is absolutely impossible to bring down Li Zhongxuan by relying on these small things, and their real purpose is probably not much different from the result of the emperor's ruling.

Generally speaking, in the court meeting, if one person impeaches another person, Dali Temple will set up a project to investigate, not to mention that so many people impeach Li Zhongxuan alone, Li Zhongxuan has a hard time.

As soon as Li Zhongxuan came out of the Qinglong Gate, he saw Guo Songyang, and Guo Songyang seemed to be waiting for him.

"My father-in-law also took great pains to fabricate the accusations." Li Zhongxuan smiled mockingly and shook the paper in his hand.

"The ten deadly sins have come out, if it weren't for your good intentions, I would have thought that what the officials have done over the years." Li Zhongxuan smiled but didn't smile.

"Zhong Xuan, this is what everyone means, you can go with peace of mind, there are still things in the court and Cui Qiliang and me."

"Oh, you guys actually ......" Li Zhongxuan didn't need to say the rest of the words, they were already a raccoon dog, it was incredible.

It seems that the big boss's business behind it is getting bigger and bigger.

Li Zhongxuan's impeachment and debasement soon spread, and after General Cheng heard about it in the squad room, he scolded him.

"What a faint king, a dizzy faint king." General Cheng has always been like this, but this time his voice was too loud.

"My general, you just stop a little, I heard that Lord Li took care of all these things in the court today, otherwise even we will be involved, you are still insulting the king, don't dare, don't dare." The long entourage next to General Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and stroked General Cheng's chest.

"By the way, where did the emperor let him go this time?"

"I heard it's Nishikawa." When General Cheng heard this, his clenched fists gradually loosened, "Hey, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, what else can I do?" Now go and meet Master Li, and go for my good brother. ”

General Cheng said as he asked Chang Sui to prepare a drink.

The chief suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, "God, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, my general, they are waiting for you to make a mistake, and four words can ruin the good future of you and the soldiers." ”

"Yes, yes." General Cheng came to his senses.

At this moment, Li Zhongxuan arrived, and his face was solemn.

"I've heard all about the things in the court, just go there, I'll discuss the matter of Ning Yuan with Shen Qiao'an's little girl, and see if there is any way."

"I've taken care of all the ten deadly sins, but fortunately, the imperial court is only going to Xichuan, and I've been there recently, they shouldn't let you go, you have to pay attention to safety." General Cheng nodded again and again.
