Volume 8 Thunder During the Day Chapter 69 Falling into the Well
Zhu Zhitong hurriedly held her mother's hand and said softly: "The mother doesn't think I'm good, in fact...... In fact, thanks to Master Su's presence, he was still smart and let Wen Hegui let us go. ”
Su Xiaochen was stunned for a moment, this Lu Xing came from afar to ask me, and even you threw this problem to me. Seeing that the people in the hall were staring at him, he said in a hurry: "Yes, that Wen Hegui did reach out and found the traces of the two of us, so he couldn't escape, so he had to come down from the roof." We were shocked to see the corpses all over the house, and we were worried that it would be bad for us. So I lobbied him and persuaded him to let us go. ”
Lu Xingyuan laughed loudly: "Master Su is really worthy of the high feet of the Mu Yun clan, it turns out that a villain who kills people without blinking an eye can say with one mouth let you go?" Let's ask you whether you believe it or not. The old man believes that you had a premeditated plan with Na Wen and Gui from the beginning, and you had bad intentions! ”
Zhu Yuxiao knew that Su Xiaochen was deeply rooted in Mu Yunyou's true biography, and he was sharp-tongued, and now he heard that Lu Wenchi obviously had a ghost in the dark about Zhao Yu's death, but explained to Emperor Ming for Su Xiaochen: "Sister, you might as well listen to how Chen'er lobbied Wen Hegui." ”
Su Xiaochen said: "I said to Na Wen Hegui, Her Royal Highness the princess is here on the order of Fu Xingtai, I am here on the order of His Royal Highness the Prince of Cangwu Kingdom, if you want to be unfavorable to the two of us, you will offend the two countries of the blue sea and Cangwu in one fell swoop, unless you hide in the Imuran Desert for the rest of your life, otherwise the great generals of the world will no longer have a place for you." ”
Lu Xingyuan snorted and said, "Such words can be bluffed, isn't it a three-year-old child?" ”
Su Xiaochen ignored it and continued: "I said again, you have worked hard all your life just to keep the wealth in your hands, and everything you are doing now is also to save your life. But paper can't contain the fire, and even if you kill us, it won't help. Now we don't know the reason for the gold case, so if you can't honestly confess and atone for your sins, then there is Her Royal Highness the Princess, and she can promise to ask for a pardon for you in front of Your Majesty, so that your life will be safe in the future. ”
Lu Xingyuan shouted: "Ridiculous! How can you let go of such a murderous person who kills the officials of the imperial court, how can you use the name of His Royal Highness to try to show mercy outside the law, do you think that my Bihai Country is a barbaric country and has no royal law? Then he turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I can't believe the words of such a clever man!" ”
Liu Mingyan sounded with a silver bell-like laugh on the side: "Don't be angry, Guogong is hanging by a thread, don't you say everything you can say?" I guess it's just a stopgap measure. Isn't it? Bachelor Sue? After speaking, he smiled at Su Xiaochen. I thought, what a witty boy, I don't know if his appearance on the Fuxing Platform today was also arranged by Zhu Zhiling.
I was about to look up at Zhu Zhiling, but I found that she was still hiding in the side hall and didn't come out, and said secretly in my heart: I came to be your pioneer today, and you hid in it and chose yourself clean, so that you can live freely.
Sure enough, Emperor Ming grimaced, pointed at Su Xiaochen and said, "I think he said it very well." While touching Zhu Zhitong's little hand, Wen Yan sighed: "If you have something, I ...... How is it good for me? ”
Lu Xingyuan saw that Emperor Ming was a little confused when he talked about Zhu Zhitong, and he knew that he would not be able to listen to this if he continued to say this, so he was greatly disappointed and sighed helplessly.
Su Xiaochen continued: "Wen Hegui heard that he could save his life, so he told us the truth about the Nanhua gold sale case, and handed over the half bucket of gold erosion water brought by Shen Xianyun to us. I told him not to kill again, presumably after we were gone, and he must have sent this warrior back from the White Sands Battalion. ”
When the white-clothed guard heard this, he hugged Su Xiaochen with great gratitude: "I see, I said that I escaped by luck, I don't want the bachelor to help, but I want to thank the bachelor for saving his life!" A simple single sentence, in the ears of Lu Wenchi on the side, it was extremely ironic, he could no longer care about his father's eyes, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister and Nawen and Gui did have an intersection, but they are all about the mining of the Baotai Bureau, how can they get any demon beasts, and how can they come up with these conspiracies?" It is clear that this Su bachelor is spewing blood, climbing indiscriminately, and has ill intentions. ”
Emperor Ming ignored Lu Wenchi and asked Zhu Zhitong: "What Master Su just said, but is it true?" ”
Zhu Zhitong raised his eyebrows and said: "Naturally, it's true, Master Su is an honest person, besides, he is a courtier of Cangwu Kingdom, what does he have to do with the Nanhua Gold Sale Case, do you have to come to climb my minister of Bihai Kingdom?" He wasn't even alive when he had this case. also said that he had ill intentions...... You've got what it takes to show me. When he spoke, he faced Emperor Ming, but the last sentence was thrown to Lu Wenchi at the bottom of the stairs, and Lu Wenchi choked so much that he couldn't get a word back.
Zhu Zhitong said that of course he was petty, but Su Xiaochen was only seventeen years old, and he was a bachelor in Cangwu Kingdom, and he set foot in the blue sea for the first time in his life, and he really couldn't have anything to do with the Nanhua gold sales case, if he wanted to say that he was framing Lu Wenchi, Emperor Ming really couldn't believe it.
Seeing that the matter had come to this point, Liu Mingyan took out another booklet from his sleeve and presented it to Emperor Mingdao: "Your Majesty, Shen Xianyun left this booklet before his death, which describes in detail the ins and outs of the Nanhua gold sales case. Your Majesty can take a look to see if it is consistent with what the soldiers of the Baisha Battalion and Her Royal Highness Su and Princess Qingyang said, and then see if the handwriting is the same as the previous one is from Shen Xianyun himself. ”
When Lu Wenchi heard that there was still a playbook, he was already panicked and shouted: "Your Majesty! That Shen Xianyun was cunning by nature and had not been promoted for a long time, so he held a grudge against the minister. Right! She...... She must have a grudge in her heart to leave such vicious slander, this ...... This is not credible! ”
Liu Mingyan said with a smile: "Lord Lu really has a bad memory, this Shen Xianyun was personally recommended by Lord Lu, how can he be a cunning person by nature." And just now, Lord Lu also praised her for being rigorous and dedicated to the people, and she has no greed, and now she is said to be resentful because she has not been promoted for a long time, which is really red mouth and white teeth, and she can say whatever she wants. ”
"You ......" Lu Wenchi was so ridiculed by Liu Mingyan that his head was almost smoking, and he was so anxious that his stomach was sweating and wet a large part of his official uniform. He took a breath of strength and said half-bluffing and half-persuading, "Lord Liu...... I have no public grudge or personal enmity with you, and if you are so intricate and aggressive today, are you not afraid of setting yourself on fire? You must know that Nanhua Island is under the jurisdiction of your Southern Xinjiang Governor's Office, and if there is a difference in the Nanhua gold sales case, your Southern Xinjiang Governor will also be to blame! ”
Liu Mingyan looked at him coldly and said: "Lord Lu's words are wrong, Nanhua Island is under the jurisdiction of the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion, but with the prestige of Lord Lingzun back then, I didn't let the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion manage the Nanhua gold sale case once, and I said a word, from beginning to end, it was handled by your Lord Lu's household department." I, the governor of southern Xinjiang, really have no blame! ”
Lu Xingyuan was said to be hot on the side, and his heart suddenly woke up.
I see. Although Lu Xingyuan is not a powerful person, but the Nanhua gold sales case is related to Lu Wenchi, and he faintly feels that something is wrong, out of the love of his son, he did not let the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion interfere in the handling of all the cases at that time, which really broke Liu Zhan's face. Liu Zhan, the old governor of southern Xinjiang, has a cowardly temperament and forbearance, and it seems that although he endured it back then, he has always been guilty. In the past 20 years, if Lu Wenchi and the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion have gotten along well, this matter will probably be appeased. But according to his knowledge of this son's temperament, he must not have taken the governor of southern Xinjiang in his eyes more and more, and Shen Xianyun is a person who sees the wind and steers the rudder, and he also ignores the governor's palace on weekdays, so the new hatred and old hatred are piled up together, and Fang is frozen into today's three-foot ice. Now that Liu Zhan has stepped down, it is not difficult to understand when he meets a person like Liu Mingyan and suddenly makes trouble when he sees the opportunity.
Alas...... Son of Evil. If you have half the humility of Wenjun, why not?
Emperor Ming heard that the two of them were arguing, and reprimanded: "Okay! Why can't I read this booklet? I'm not blind, can't I tell if this is Shen Xianyun's handwriting? ”
After speaking, I opened it and looked at it, and sure enough, it was the same as the handwriting on the previous book, and there was also the seal of the prefect of Cheongju. From how Lu Wenchi and Wen Hegui conspired to frame Zhao Yu, to how to send the samples of the gold mine to the Ministry of Household Industry for inspection, how to use the furnace of molten gold to smelt yellow iron into green smoke, and then fake witness evidence to frame Zhao Yu for embezzling the national treasury, and after the incident, he took the real account books accumulated for half a year and handed them to His Majesty the former emperor to disturb the holy hearing, deceived the first emperor to issue an edict to kill Zhao Yu, and he was able to seal it in the household department.
Straight to the Ming Emperor shocked him, closed the book and thought about it carefully, the testimony of these people was scattered, put together, spelled out a rough, and there was no contradiction, and now after reading this book, Fang felt like waking up from a dream. It turned out that a person who was as wise as his mother back then had also been deceived, and he couldn't help but be angry!
In fact, how did she know that when Wen Hegui turned out this booklet, she and Su Xiaochen had read it carefully, memorized it, and then stuffed it into the arms of the white-clothed guard and sent it back to the Baisha camp. The words of each person in the temple today are really only a part of the account in this book, and they are certainly the same as what is said in that book.
The same words, when spoken from the mouths of different people, will become very credible, as the so-called three people become tigers, and all mouths are gold. What's more, there is truth in these words, and there is truth in falsehood, and then take them out of context, and avoid the important and light. Even the Ming Emperor can't tell the truth from the fake.
Lu Wenchi stumbled over, fell to the ground and shouted with a sad face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty and Rong Chen explain......"
Liu Mingyan didn't give him the slightest chance to speak, immediately interrupted his words, and said categorically: "Your Majesty, now that the matter has come to this, please ask Your Majesty to remove the seal of His Majesty the Emperor and open the mine, whether it is gold or pyrite inside, you only need to check it." ”
One sentence made Lu Wenchi feel distracted.
