It's very likely that he has eyeliner next to him, otherwise why is there a precaution before every time they make a move?

The next day, Xiang Ye didn't go to any store, and in the evening, he read seriously, lit an extra candle, and scolded Xiang Ye for a bloody head, and he began to live that exaggerated and poor life.

There was no longer a clue, and in desperation, Li Zhongxuan could only go to Shen Qiaoan. And Qiao An is also preparing to meet Li Zhongxuan recently.

"That's what happened, but I'm very strange, who is next to me who leaked the news to him?" Li Zhongxuan touched his forehead.

"There are so many guards around the emperor, such an action naturally can't be hidden, what kind of person is it, don't worry, slowly lead the snake out of the hole." This is what Shen Qiaoan meant.

Qiao An not only put aside her prejudices tonight and was willing to cooperate with Li Zhongxuan, but even had dinner with Li Zhongxuan.

Before leaving, Li Zhongxuan told Qiao An to rest and pay attention to safety, so that he could go back with confidence.

It was as if the matter had been put on hold for the time being, and all the clues were broken. Sister Hong's side is still watching the wind every day, but she can't investigate any clues.

Suddenly, Zhang Tingyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked to see Li Zhongxuan, Zhang Tingyu is a well-known good official, and he does not do anything in his life.

It turned out that the reason why Gao Dechang had so much money to run his business was that he was selling official beards, and they all cheated together, and they all cheating on the same line, and the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs on the line were full of brains.

"Your Majesty, we can let him gradually show his fox tail."

"Okay, let's talk about it." Zhang Tingyu was old enough to seek the country, and if he really gave him a plan that was nine out of ten, Li Zhongxuan listened to it and immediately went to find Qiao An.

He told Qiao An about this, and Shen Qiao An smiled after hearing it.

A day later, at night, someone entered the Prime Minister's Mansion with a man through the corner gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"You know my rules." Gao Dechang sneered slightly, and didn't look at the person in front of him, the person hurriedly sent a burden over, and the burden was heavy.

"Xiangye, donate a five-grade Honglu Temple Shaoqing, two thousand nine hundred taels are in it, my lord." Xiangye motioned to the guards next to him to take a look.

The guard didn't open it either, but weighed it, and suddenly a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Go back and wait, someone will tell you when things are clear." Sangye snorted from his nostrils, and the man left.

Coming out of this room, the man quickly whipped to Qiao An's side, Li Zhongxuan was also in Qiao An's house, seeing this person come back, he looked behind the man, and then opened his lips: "You didn't give people to watch, right?" ”

"The emperor is relieved, no! Xiangye really accepted 2,900 taels, and it was indeed a clear price, as long as it was an official position under the third grade, it could be bought and sold. ”

When Li Zhongxuan heard this, he was shocked.

He couldn't have imagined that the imperial court was already so dark, let alone that a small group of civil and military officials were "bought" in.

"If there is any news next time, come back and forth." Li Zhongxuan looked at the man, who nodded again and again.

After the man went, Qiao An frowned, Li Zhongxuan squinted at Qiao An's face, and said in surprise: "What?" Is there something wrong? ”

"It's okay, let's eat." Joan still had something on her mind in the end, and she didn't eat too much.

After Li Zhongxuan went, Huan'er said: "Things have gone smoothly, why does Miss look sad?" ”

"It went so well!" Joan only said four words.

"Miss, isn't it good if it goes well?"

Sure enough, it didn't go well, and the next day it happened. The next day, the people from Xiangye's side arrived, told the young man that the matter of "donating officials" was eyebrow-up, and asked the young man to go to the house to talk.

After he waited for the informant to go, he hurriedly found a way to inform Qiao An and Li Zhongxuan, but the person had not come out for a long time after entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, so everyone felt that the situation was wrong.

Li Zhongxuan wanted to let General Cheng break in, but after thinking about it, he still endured it.

The next day, when the morning dynasty began, Xiangye knelt down in front of Li Zhongxuan.

The civil and military officials looked at each other, they didn't know what kind of trouble this was, and even Li Zhongxuan was a little at a loss, could it be that he was going to bear the guilt? But the actual situation is not the case, just listen to the righteous words of Gao Dechang and sternly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a book." ”

Li Zhongxuan frowned, "Play!" ”

"As a chief assistant, the old minister should solve problems for my emperor, and the emperor has recently found out that someone has sold his official beard." At this point, he stopped his words and stepped forward slightly.

"What kind of traitor, be careful."

In fact, most people know that he is the one who really does the business of "selling officials", but his thief shouting to catch a thief today is something that most people did not expect.

"There is a person who reported to the old minister, saying that Zhang Tingyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is doing this for a living, and over the years he has made a list, and under all the three grades, every official position can be sold, as long as you have silver, things will always be done properly."

Gao Dechang's voice is like a bell.

Every word that was loud was like a hot iron nail, and every word of his became a weapon, cleverly nailed to Zhang Tingyu's soft underbelly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister didn't do such a thing that lost his conscience!" Here, Zhang Tingyu hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt in front of Li Zhongxuan.

"At first, even the old minister himself couldn't have imagined that this Lord Zhang Tingyu would do such a thing, but after that person reported it, someone sent this to the old minister one after another." One line said, and one line took a stack of papers out of his sleeve.

"It's been morning since the old minister was pregnant with this, Your Majesty, you have deteriorated and the ministers have taken a look." While speaking, he handed over part of the document to Li Zhongxuan and the others, and Li Zhongxuan took a look, it was a contract for sale.

There is a hand mask on it, which is a seemingly impeccable transaction contract, on which both the seller and the buyer sign their real names and surnames, and the words "Zhang Tingyu" are written on it.

Zhang Tingyu never dreamed that Xiangye Dog would jump over the wall in a hurry, and he would arrange such a play, which made them completely too late to close the net.

Everyone was a little stunned, but the eye-catching three words did seem to be Zhang Tingyu's handwriting.

"Come on, inquest!" But in the face of this group of ministers, Li Zhongxuan was naturally cautious, and even for a moment, Li Zhongxuan began to suspect Zhang Tingyu.

After all, these second-grade officials often send excerpts to the inner court, and their handwriting is commonplace for him.

After a while, someone from the Hanlin Academy found Zhang Tingyu's handwriting and compared it, followed by kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, after the inquest is completed, it is indeed the same." ”

Li Zhongxuan looked at Zhang Tingyu, Zhang Tingyu knew that he was framing himself, but he couldn't figure out why there was his name on these old documents, and even the ink color deteriorated to the old documents.

"Master Zhang, what else do you want to say?" Gao Dechang approached Zhang Tingyu gloomily.

Zhang Tingyu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Wechen heard that there is a kind of person who specializes in studying people's handwriting, and what they imitate is exactly the same as the deity, although this is exactly the same as what Wechen wrote, but this matter is indeed framed." ”

"Oh?" Gao Dechang was puzzled: "It sounds like it makes a little sense. ”

"This doesn't matter, since it's to bring down you, adult, there is naturally the rest of the evidence here."

During the words, Gao Dechang said again: "Your Majesty, Weichen inspected the Guangtong silver number and found that there were five thousand taels of silver saved by Lord Zhang Tingyu.

"Gao Dechang, don't spray people with blood." Hearing this, Zhang Tingyu was furious, and he almost fought with Gao Dechang with his fists and sleeves.

"Your Majesty, Wechen has prepared all the evidence here, all you need is an order, and Wechen will let the witnesses come up, and you can prove it in court."

Li Zhongxuan could only nod and followed the gentleman of Guangtong Yinhao, the man seemed to be very afraid of Zhang Tingyu, and when he saw Zhang Tingyu walking around, it was Gao Dechang, he smiled kindly, and signaled the man to tell the truth.

The gentleman poured beans into the bamboo tube and generally told the matter, and conclusively pointed out how much silver Zhang Tingyu had saved on which year, month, and day, and followed Li Zhongxuan to ask to see the account book, and the gentleman took the account book, and Li Zhongxuan found that the latest deposit was from the previous month.

The gentleman was obviously frightened, "Master Zhang, you still recruited well, so as not to bring the rest of the people tired, the villain would have known that you were from the imperial court, and would have reported you a long time ago." ”

Li Zhongxuan looked at the account book, and there was indeed exactly the same handwriting on it.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged." Zhang Tingyu couldn't imagine that Gao Dechang would put out such a Tianmen Array for himself.

He threw himself on his knees at the bottom of the hall.

"Your Majesty, Wechen has already said that Wechen has evidence, and now Wechen has asked people to send the rest of the physical evidence in." followed, and sent in a baggage, Li Zhongxuan saw that the burden happened to be the props they had used.

The silver in it was two thousand two hundred and ninety taels, and it was untouched.

"This is Wei Chen's search at Zhang Tingyu's house this morning, in theory, Wei Chen really can't search for any official, but today's matter, Wei Chen has no choice but to cut it first and then play."

"In addition to this, Weichen also caught an accomplice, that person is Lord Lu of the household department, Lord Lu, you stand up and confess, so as not to punish the law harshly, and there is no room for a grain of sand in the eyes of the prime minister."

In this way, that Lord Lu also stood up, Lord Lu was so frightened that he hurriedly revealed the things about the two of them "being embarrassed and colluding", and he said that he had a nose and eyes, and anyone who heard it knew that it was not a codification.

"Wechen has failed my emperor, Wechen is willing to die to apologize, Wechen is now awake and begging the emperor not to let Lord Zhang Tingyu go unpunished!" Lord Na Lu knelt on the ground, sweat rolling down.

"Zhang Tingyu, I will give you a chance, quickly defend yourself." Li Zhongxuan looked at Zhang Tingyu.

A few people knelt down next to him, willing to protect Zhang Tingyu's innocence, but Zhang Tingyu himself didn't know where to start.

Plead? This is clearly a sure thing, where to prove his innocence?

Soon, Zhang Tingyu was put in shackles and locked up, and then came to the prison of the Criminal Department.

The official who testified against Lord Lu was afraid that Li Zhongxuan would be tortured, and he actually crashed to death on the pillar next to Gao Dechang, and everyone sighed.

Li Zhongxuan was relieved and in a terrible mood, but he could only temporarily detain Zhang Tingyu.

The matter came to an end, Gao Dechang left the Qiankun Hall with his big sleeves fluttering into the distance, Li Zhongxuan and the ministers never imagined that things would be like this.
