Mrs. Huang shook her head and denied,

"I really didn't put that jewelry, I sent someone to follow behind Li Hong and your lady at that time, and then I knew that there was such a big mistake in Beizhuang."

In the darkroom next door, Xin Yi remembered that after Li Zhukuai discovered the jewelry, the figure that flashed turned out to be the person who was being watched by Mrs. Huang, not her illusion.

Xiao Yuanyou flipped through the file,

"In order to take revenge on Lord Huang, you exposed his secret in front of our eyes, not only do you know this, you also know the person behind Lord Huang!"

He got up and slowly walked to Mrs. Huang's feet, his voice was not hurried,

"If you want to save your life, then you have to come up with news that can save your life, the news that you are currently using to exchange your life, it is not enough to exchange your life."

When Mrs. Huang heard this, she still had the heart to joke, she smiled lightly,

"Thanks to your lordship, you can interrogate me alone, and if your lord is interested in the person behind my husband's house, our deal can continue."

I saw her lips move, and she said a few words silently to Xiao Yuanyou.

She just moved her lips and didn't make a sound, Xin Yi didn't see her lips too clearly in the darkroom.

Xiao Yuanyou naturally saw it clearly!

Xiao Yuanyou interrogated Mrs. Huang alone, and what he wanted was this answer.

Although he had guessed, he still didn't get the excitement of the moment of the truth.

Xin Yi stood in the dark room with a solemn expression.

In fact, there is no need for too much interrogation, these days, about the death of Lord Wei, it has been pieced together.

At the beginning, she had discussed with her fifth brother that Lord Wei was diligent in governance, encouraged agriculture, set up township schools, and built bridges and paved roads.

When he left, he was in a hurry, leaving behind some files with a lot of stuff written in the box.

If you don't go, or if you take it to other counties, you can implement it slowly.

A good official, he is a good official wherever he goes.

However, because he is a good official, he has no way to buy it, and he is not in the same way, and there is no trace of fraud in the imperial examination.

Too rigid and easy to break!

Where you are required to go along with the dirt, if you go the other way, then there is only one end.

And the fate of Lord Wei is exactly that one.

The person who killed him at the beginning had a few words of 'longevity charm' in the family, maybe the idea was to ruin the reputation of Lord Wei.

was supposed to go to other counties to take up his post, but he postponed his departure for a long time, and he encountered bandits in a single way, and only a few of his family died in Huangquan.

If he doesn't set off for a long time, this is simply a contempt for the laws of the imperial court, which shows that the person who killed him has a sinister heart!

Not only human life, but also human name!

Xiao Yuanyou raised his voice and called someone in, "Come on, bring the prisoner down." ”

Mrs. Huang was a little surprised, but seeing that Xiao Yuanyou didn't seem to have the intention of wanting her own life, she knew that her chips were right.

She didn't ask any more questions, but followed the jailer who came in.

Xiao Yuanyou waited until the person was gone, turned around and went to the dark room, and at this time Xin Yi's face had already returned to normal.

She turned her head sideways and saw Xiao Yuanyou's face like frost, but his eyes were brighter and scorching than the wall lamps around him.

She walked into him and asked, "You...... Do you know who that person really is? ”

Xiao Yuanyou shook her hand, and the cold, thick hand wrapped her slender hand in it, and rubbed it,

"Do you remember how many princes came over on the day we got married?"

Xin Yi nodded, of course he knows, is the person behind the scenes the prince?

"Brother Prince, Seventh Prince, Second Prince, Fifth Prince, and others are here."

Xiao Yuanyou is the adopted son of the emperor, and the princess is also a brother and sister, his big wedding banquet is to get married during her hot filial piety, and he can't do it in a big way, and the emperor feels wronged Xiao Yuanyou.

On the day of the wedding, all the princes and princesses came to support Xiao Yuanyou, and one of them came.

Xin Yi didn't speak, but just clasped Xiao Yuanyou's generous palm tightly, with some indescribable fear in his heart.

"There is such a person, although he is not the queen's concubine, but he is full of fame, even the mother and the prince are very fond of him."

"This person is not only good at dancing with long sleeves, but also because of his identity and personality, he has a wide range of contacts, often travels out, and has attracted a lot of people outside."

"Everything he did in secret, someone helped him implement it, and he was not implicated in the slightest."

Xin Yi's pupils tightened, as if he couldn't believe it, and didn't say a word.

Xiao Yuanyou shook her hand, "That's right, it's that person, I'...... Not quite convinced. ”

It turns out that the layout has been started for so long!

Xin Yi's indescribable indignation in her heart, it turned out that the death of the master, of course, had the hidden feelings of the national teacher, but it turned out that she finally died in the dumping of imperial power!

It is no wonder that when the national teacher finally fought to the death, there would be so many people with strong martial arts.

What's more, when she, Baoping, and Kangping meet assassins in Chaotianguan Houshan, there will be so many high-rollers.

As for the assassins who kidnapped her and Kang Ping later, the owner was actually not the national teacher, but that person!

Everything seems to be open-minded, and there is another village in front of you.

"Weiwei, I once had an idea." Xiao Yuanyou said.

"What thoughts?" Xin Yi looked at him.

"At that time, I thought that there were 100 cases here, and after returning to the capital, I talked to Your Majesty about my resignation, and my grandfather once left me a lot of private property, that is, Your Majesty, and there are a lot of things for me, and it will not be a problem to worry about food and clothing in the future."

Xiao Yuanyou said.

After this period of time, Xiao Yuanyou fully believes that any guards are unreliable.

He was afraid of the slight danger, so he sent two secret guards to Xin Yi, but she left them to protect Xiao Rusi.

He believes that it is more reliable to protect it in person.

But when the punishment here is over, His Majesty will inevitably pile all his positions on him, as before.

In the past, he wanted to solve strange cases, strange cases, and heavy affairs, and it was impossible for him to pay attention to the situation at home from time to time.

Xin Yi was silent for a long time and said,

"Fifth brother, I want to promise you, but I also understand that I may not be able to live such a leisurely life, let alone ......"

Master's revenge is not really over.

"If you are destined not to die and live forever, then I would rather die of exhaustion than be idle, fifth brother, you touch your chest and say, are you willing to live a mediocre life for the rest of your life? What about your ideals? There are so many strange cases in the world, what about strange cases? ”

Xiao Yuanyou frowned, "Who said that farming is mediocre?" What can be planted is not mediocre is the ability. ”

"As for solving the case......"

Xiao Yuanyou didn't know when he began to lose his mind and calmness, and wanted to protect the person in front of him at all costs, but he didn't resist this change at all.

Xiao Yuanyou's words can actually be the truest thoughts in his heart, he is not a person who is willing to enjoy the landscape.

For a real man, giving his family glory and wealth is just a manifestation of their achievements, the added value of his pursuit of career, they love power, just like women love to dress up, most of the time they don't need any reason.

"Xiao Yuanyou!" Xin Yi said softly,

"If you resign in ten years, you should know better than me that the prince's position seems to be stable now, but in fact it is turbulent."

"Also, the person behind the scenes, who has been planning for so many years, how can he give up easily."

"As for me, because that person has been injured so much, once or twice, I have lost my most beloved master."

"Fifth brother, let me give up now, I'm panicking!"

Xiao Yuanyou looked at her, couldn't help laughing, touched her head, and took her in his arms.

Xin Yi smiled quietly.

……

The scholar sued the Yanjun government for fraud, and after Xiao Yuanyou interrogated him, he wrote an excerpt of 300 miles and sent it to the capital to ask for instructions on the emperor's disposal.

Soon, after the emperor missed his adopted son and golden grandson, he quickly sent instructions over.

Lord Huang and the officials of Yan County committed fraud, and the crime was extremely heinous, and even after the crime was exposed, he tried to kill people in vain, and he added to the crime, and did not allow any intercession.

At the same time, he wrote in the review that since Lord Huang and others like to cheat so much and like to deprive others of their fame, then let them go to the largest city gate in Yan County to paste a notice and announce the crimes of the officials to the public, and at the same time, prepare to be executed with a cane at the city gate, with fifty boards per person!

After Xiao Yuanyou saw the excerpt, he asked the sky speechlessly!

He understands that this is another time when the emperor is unhappy and wants to toss and toss!

After the trial on the street, Xiao Yuanyou said that there would be an execution soon, and those scholars always came to the county office in groups to have a look.

Let's see if there is any disposition of the officials.

On this day, the scholars still came together to see if there was any news, and they saw someone from the county government going out with a notice.

There were also people on the side who were beating gongs and drums, and said while knocking, to the effect that the emperor knew that there were many officials in Yan County who cheated in the imperial examination, which hindered the interests of real students.

The interests of the Emperor are relevant to those who are deprived of true students.

"Your Majesty is fair and strict, and has cured Lord Huang's crimes."

Hearing this, the scholars burst into cheers.

Then they knelt down and kowtowed, applauded, and thanked in the direction of the capital, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

There are a lot of students who come, and the people who watch this scene are a little excited.

The scholars did not feel that the act of public execution was superfluous, and even thought that they would always die anyway, and it was always good to toss and toss.

Just cutting off the head once, it's too cheap for those officials.

Of course, there are more than one or two people who have such thoughts, and after the propaganda of the scholars, on the day of the public cane punishment, the city gate is crowded with water, and it is the people, and it is also a sigh of amazement in the heart.

It's really rare to see so many officials being beaten together.

When the officials who had been accused of fraud were brought out, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd.

"Coming, coming, they're coming!"

Seeing the dense crowd, those officials led by Chen Tongzhi only felt that their scalps were numb, why were there so many people?

It's just that no one will pay attention to their doubts.

Chen Tongzhi politely called a messenger, who used to be an errand in the county government, and asked him to send a letter to Xiao Yuanyou, hoping to change the place of execution and no longer evacuate the crowd.

But the answer he got was,

"Your Majesty's holy decree states the place of execution, which cannot be changed, and as for the people, it is impossible to drive them away, this is the city gate, everyone is free to come and go, who is qualified to disperse them."

Soon, the stool was set up, and the officials were left on it in despair.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there will inevitably be women and children among the onlookers, so you don't need to take off your clothes, adults, let's get started."

Chen Tongzhi gritted his teeth, he didn't expect that a misstep would turn into a thousand years of hatred, and he knew why he wanted to open such a back door for his nephew.

Forget about him, a dignified general, for the sake of your face, he deliberately went to roll call, isn't it fifty rods.

Okay, isn't it fifty rods, can't he still hold up those fifty as a general?

Chen Tongzhi buried his head and told himself, it doesn't matter, he can afford it.

It's just that I didn't expect that the staff had just been raised, and before it reached Chen Tongzhi's body, a thunderous shout sounded,

"One ......"

Chen Tongzhi, "......"

There is a sentence that should not be said, why was he humiliated, these people who don't think they were too busy to see the excitement, even brought a count.

The scholars and people who were beaten with the cane were extremely excited.

It's really enjoyable!

How can the emperor like ordinary people like to come here.

"Eight"

"Nine"

"Ten"

Every time the board falls forcefully, the sound of counting will sound.

The officials who were executed were already numb, and everyone even had a sense of unreality.

As if it weren't they who carried out the execution.

They don't know where they really are.

Who the hell is he.

What the hell is he doing?

The short execution time seems to be even harder than the original ten-year cold window.

Is it for today's execution that he studied so hard?

Pain is nothing at all, and the embarrassment of being watched by others has brought everyone a humiliation that is even more humiliating than physical pain.

The concubines they speak of are simply more cutting than knives, and they are slashed down on them over and over again.

It's like Ling Chi.

Finally, when the fifty count came out, the execution was finally over, but the punishment of the officials had only just begun.

For the rest of their lives, they will remember this scene, no matter where they go or what they are doing.

In this way, after the officials were carried away, the people and scholars who watched the excitement were already satisfied.

The good people are avenged, and the wicked are punished, which is really a perfect solution.

In any case, after the cane is over, the officials involved in the fraud case will be punished.

It's as it should be.

Lord Huang doesn't need to say that Chen Tongzhi was ordered to hand over the rights in his hands in disgust.

The other officials involved were also disposed of in various ways, seized their positions, confiscated their property, and were only exiled for thousands of miles.
