Chapter 170: Head to head

Gongsun Hong suddenly felt that while the matter was important, he also felt that the dawn was coming.

This matter has been investigated since Han Anguo's incense building, and until now, the inner ghost hidden at the top has never appeared.

Zongzheng's power is that the imperial court has direct contact with the people and departments of the vassal states, and this person is quite harmful when he is co-opted, and the vassal states have to communicate with each other in secret, but he can directly and openly contact the vassal states.

Once the matter is confirmed, the imperial court has no secrets to protect in front of the vassal states.

"Prime Minister, what's going on?" Imperial Doctor Zhang Ou asked with concern.

Gongsun Hong didn't want to make a big deal about it, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing, let's go and raid the house." After finishing speaking, he looked at Ting Wei and said, "Give the file and post that Zongzheng gave you to Benxiang." ”

After Ting Wei responded, he took two bamboo slips from the people around him and handed them to Gongsun Hong.

"Ruoyao!" Gongsun Hong turned around and handed the bamboo slip to Ruoyao and said, "Let's go, go home." ”

"No!"

Walking out of the Tingwei Mansion, Gongsun Hong immediately ordered Song Yujun to mobilize a group of Praetorian Guards to surround Zongzheng Mansion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Liu Qianyong meets the prime minister." Gongsun Hong and Ruoyao entered Zongzheng Mansion one after another, and Liu Qianyong and his subordinate officials came to visit one after another, but they didn't seem very natural.

Gongsun Hong picked up the crutches in his hand, and then sat on the top of the middle hall: "Lord Zongzheng is serious, the old man has not asked about your Zongzheng Mansion since he took office, so I came to take a look today." ”

Liu Qianyong suddenly stepped forward with a smile and said: "Hehe, yes, yes, yes, it's all the official's fault, you should take the initiative to report." ”

This is the first time that Gongsun Hong has stepped into the Zongzheng Mansion since taking office.

Although Gongsun Hong was neglected in the early stage, he was also an old minister, and he knew a lot about the affairs of Zongzheng Mansion, and during the period of the former Prime Minister Xue Ze, Zongzheng Mansion deviated from the course and gradually emptied Xue Ze in the affairs of the vassal states.

Xue Ze is also a soft-hearted figure, he doesn't like to stir up trouble, and he doesn't like to offend people, in the face of Zongzheng Mansion's overhead, he doesn't bother to care, why Gongsun Hong is suddenly interested in Zongzheng Mansion now, is because Gongsun Hong took office, and all the government officials worshiped the horse's head, and Zongzheng Mansion didn't care about the prime minister's appointment, and now he thinks back that he was doing something.

Seeing that Gongsun Hong didn't speak, Liu Qianyong looked at the official behind him, and then looked at the sword-lifting woman beside Hong, so he said happily: "Prime Minister, are you because the official killed Yang Dong......wen last night?"

"yes, yes, yes." Gongsun Hong suddenly remembered, so he turned his head to look at Ruoyao and said, "Ruoyao, give it to him." ”

Liu Qianyong took the document he sent to the Tingwei Mansion and arched his hand: "Back to the prime minister, Yang Dongwen colluded with the King of Bohai, the official has already been eyeing him, the evidence is readily available, and the official is angry for a while, so ......"

"Oh, so you're going to kill him." Before Gongsun Hong could speak, Ruoyao on the side couldn't bear it: "You said he colluded with the King of Bohai?" Could it be a mistake? Could it be other kings, such as the king of Jiangdu. ”

Liu Qianyong was shocked when he heard this, and looked at the officials around him very embarrassed: "Hehe, the girl said that she was laughing, the Zongzheng Mansion has already checked, and all the files are on file and can be consulted at any time." ”

Ruoyao sneered after hearing this, the file, everyone knows that the file can be faked, especially in ancient times, all kinds of unjust cases are not nothing, and the case file is actually moved out.

Liu Qianyong saw that Gongsun Hong still didn't speak, and probably expected something to happen today, so he looked at an official behind him and scolded loudly: "Let's all go down." ”

"No!" The officials turned around.

"Stop." Gongsun Hong took over the conversation, then slowly stood up on crutches, walked to the crowd, looked at a middle-aged official, and revealed a hint of fierceness in his eyes: "You, what is your position?" ”

The middle-aged official looked very uncomfortable, looked left and right, and his mouth trembled slightly.

Liu Qianyong hurriedly stepped forward to take over the conversation and said: "Back to the prime minister, he is the deputy of the capital of the palace. ”

"Where's the order?" Gongsun Hong got to the bottom of it, because he had discovered some different details.

Du Sikong Ling quickly walked out of the crowd, and then arched his hand and said, "Xia Guan is here." ”

"Your deputy?" Gongsun Hong glared at Du Sikong Ling and asked.

Du Sikong Ling looked at the middle-aged official, and there was a trace of embarrassment on his face.

"Lord Prime Minister, all the lower officials have not managed well and broken the rules, and a petty official like this is not worthy of an axe in front of the prime minister." After speaking, Liu Qianyong once again scolded the middle-aged official: "Get out." ”

"Stop!" Ruoyao must know that there is a reason for this, otherwise Gongsun Hong would not ask like this.

At this time, the middle-aged official was already trembling with fright, and things were not so simple.

In fact, Jiuqing Zongzheng Liu Qianyong is the inner ghost hidden at the top that the imperial court has been looking for, he has been rebelled by the king of Huainan as early as the Xue Ze period, and the promise given to him by the king of Huainan is to divide the world equally.

And more importantly, the county lord of Liu Ling, the son of the king of Huainan, has slept with Liu Qianyong's son, which makes Liu Qianyong even more convinced that he can make a piece of the pie after the success of the uprising, after all, his surname is Liu, and he is also from the Liu family.

As for the killing of Yang Dongwen, it was also because of the information that there was a round of chaos.

Last night, a ghost in the city suddenly came with information that Yang Dongwen, who was suspected of communicating with the King of Huainan, was arrested, and Liu Qianyong didn't know that Yang Dongwen was working for the King of Jiangdu, as for why it was rumored that he was working with the King of Huainan, it is unknown.

As the quasi-in-law of the King of Huainan, Liu Qianyong found an official to fabricate charges overnight in order to prevent Yang Dongwen from being exposed, and then personally came to the door to find Yang Dongwen, because he felt that the court was now overwhelmed by the Huns and would not be deeply entangled.

At this time, Gongsun Hong had already expected that he was in danger, and he was afraid that he would be in trouble if he stayed for a while.

"Hehehe, don't be nervous, the old man just looks at you young." After Gongsun Hong finished speaking, he pointed to Liu Qianyong and other old officials and said: "Look, look at it, these people have already reached half of the soil to their necks, there are still young officials like you in Zongzheng Mansion, the old man really didn't expect that the Prime Minister's Mansion is the same, the old guy in Manchu, hehehe." ”

Gongsun Hong's words eased some of his anger, and the officials who were still hideous just now suddenly burst into laughter, especially Liu Qianyong, although his smile was a little embarrassing, but at least the atmosphere was right.

Gongsun Hong walked outside and said: "Yes, the old man actually wanted to come over and ask about Yang Dongwen, I heard Tingwei say that you fabricated charges against people, so the old man hurried to see you without even bringing a single subordinate." ”

"Oh, hehe, the lower officials are not doing their jobs well, so they immediately sent someone to send the case file to the Tingwei Mansion." Liu Qianyong said.

Walking out of Zongzheng Mansion, Gongsun Hong said goodbye to Liu Qianyong, and Liu Qianyong did only see a sedan chair and four sedan chair bearers outside, and he watched Gongsun Hong get on the sedan chair and leave.

"Du Sikong ordered, quickly, improve the case file and transfer it to the Tingwei Mansion, it's really scared to death." Liu Qianyong picked up the teacup and drank water.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ruoyao, you are waiting for Song Yujun here, and the old man will enter the palace immediately to face the saint." Gongsun Hong lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and continued to Ruoyao, who was riding a horse on the side: "Arrest everyone in Zongzheng Mansion, and don't let anyone go." ”

Ruoyao was a little puzzled: "You didn't ask anything, how can you conclude that it's them?" ”

"The unique boots of Huainan are impossible for the old man to forget." Gongsun Hong said firmly.

Ruoyao was shocked, it was really the details that determined success or failure: "Oh, you mean that the middle-aged official is not a ...... at all"

"Yes, remember, after the arrest, you will be locked up in a cell in the barracks."

"No!" Ruoyao pulled the reins and went in the other direction.

The sedan chair that Gongsun Hong was riding also turned to another alley, and in this alley, more than 30 guards were waiting in full gear, waiting for Gongsun Hong's arrival.
