Chapter 69: Intentional Protection

"Okay, I see, thank you father-in-law!" In this palace, it is not a strange thing that all high-ranking people will always buy off one or two internal prisoners.

After the inner eunuch left, Xiao Shunzi also walked out of the hall, and after he saw Jia Que, he began to greet him from afar, "Let Lord Jia wait for a long time, Your Majesty heard that you are waiting here, announce your entry!" ”

"Your Majesty is awake?" Jia Fei asked.

"Exactly, Lord Jia, please!" Jia Que followed Xiao Shunzi to the hall, Gongliang Rongruo was lying on a soft floor, holding the handkerchief handed over by the maid, rubbing it slightly, and said, "I heard that Lord Jia has been waiting outside for a long time, but what is the matter?" ”

Jia Mo knelt down and said to Gong Liangruo: "The minister wants to impeach Wan Delin, the right attendant of the Criminal Department!" ”

Gongliang Rongruo showed a slight look of surprise on his face, "What's wrong with Wan Shilang?" ”

Jia Que took out the fold that had been written long ago from his sleeve and handed it to Gongliang Rongruo, "The minister has written everything he wants to say on it, please take a look at it!" ”

Gongliang Rongruo took the fold and took a cursory look, in fact, he already knew the whole story in his heart, "This is unlikely!" The officials are assessed every year, and Wan Shilang is a top official, how can he do these things? ”

Jia Mo saw that Gongliangrong was interested in protecting him, and said with some excitement: "The minister is willing to take the black gauze hat on this head as a guarantee, all of this is the truth!" ”

Gongliang Rongruo didn't answer him, but said, "Those ten boxes of gold and silver are now in Jingzhao Mansion?" ”

"Yes! The minister originally wanted to carry it in front of His Majesty, but Yin Weicheng of Jingzhao Mansion said that if it were not for His Majesty's command, he would never lift it! Come here! ”

"Good!" Gongliang Rongruo said, and said to Xiao Shunzi on the side: "You go and recruit Wan Delin into the palace, and then take my edict to Jingzhao Mansion to find Wei Cheng, and ask him to carry the ten boxes of gold and silver!" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Shunzi responded, and hurriedly went out of the palace to do these two things. When he passed by Jia Fa's side, he sighed slightly, this adult is fair and strict, but he doesn't understand the rules of officialdom, from the moment he enters this door, he is doomed to failure! He doesn't know it yet!

Soon, Wan Delin came to the Xingde Palace, and after knowing the whole story, he did not admit that the ten boxes of gold and silver were his own, and also said that this was Jia Fa's deliberate framing, and asked Gongliang Rongruo to find out about the matter.

And after Wei Cheng had the conversation in Ningshou Palace, he was even more biased towards Wan Delin in everything, which made Jia Fu angry.

Wan Delin knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gong Liangrongruo and said: "Your Majesty, since the minister became an official in Jiangning, there has not been a day when he has not remembered His Majesty's teachings and the minister's heart, and he has been dedicated to the well-being of the people, and he has never been greedy for a penny. Lord Bijia doesn't know what kind of heart An's heart is, and he actually framed the minister! The minister's heart can be seen from the sun and the moon, and I hope that His Majesty will be the master of the minister! ”

Wei Cheng also echoed on the side: "Your Majesty, Li Yan, the minister's classmate and friend Li Yan is also an official in Jiangning, and he also mentioned Master Wan when he returned to Beijing to report on his work!" ”

"I remember Li Yan, what did he say?"

He said that since Wan Daren became an official in Jiangning, he has settled many unjust, false and wrongful cases, and dredged the river and prohibited favoritism and bribery, which has won the love of the people and the officials below. These are all what he said to his ministers in private, just ask such a person, how can he embezzle so much gold and silver, to put it bluntly, some people deliberately framed him! ”

Jia Mo is a person with an upright personality, how can he withstand the ridicule and sarcasm of others, so he said: "Are you talking about this official? ”

"Don't dare!" Wei Cheng said this, and then said: "This official has something unclear, and I want to ask Master Jia!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Speaking of the Evil Fire Sect, when the official encircled and suppressed it before, there were still some remnants of the sect members who could not be found in the city, but Lord Jia just went to the Eight Immortals Residence to eat a drink, and heard where they were hiding, and when we rushed there, those people seemed to have already learned the news, and they all withdrew, leaving only these ten boxes of gold and silver, why is this?"

Jia Mo said that he was also a person who had been in this court for decades, how could he not hear Wei Cheng's words, he said angrily: "You mean that this official cooperated with the Evil Fire Sect to frame Wan Delin?" ”

"The official didn't say that, he just thought it was all a coincidence!"

Jia Fu angrily said to the good face of the queen of the imperial case: "Your Majesty, the minister has been adhering to the holy precept since childhood, respecting heaven and earth, and being loyal to the king!" Such infidelity will never be committed! I hope that Your Majesty will be clear! ”

Wei Cheng also said to Gong Liang: "Your Majesty, the minister believes in Wan Shilang's character, he will never do such a thing!" ”

Jia Fa was afraid that Gongliangrong would be moved by Wei Cheng's words, so he was ruthless and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to guarantee with the head of the item, this matter is definitely not framed!" ”

After hearing this, Wan Delin, who was standing on the side, said emotionally: "Jia Fa, what kind of hatred do I have with you, you have to put me to death like this?" ”

"I ......"

"That's it!" Gong Liangrong interrupted them, looked at the ten boxes of gold and silver, and said, "It's a pity that these gold and silver are dead things, and they can't speak, otherwise, they really have to ask!" ”

His words reminded Jia Fa, and he excitedly said to Gongliang: "Your Majesty, there are witnesses who can let them testify!" ”

This time, not only Wan Delin's face changed, but even Gongliang Rongruo was the same, and he hurriedly asked, "Who are those witnesses?" ”

"It's the dart master who is responsible for escorting these darts to Kaifeng City! The minister has already inquired, and they are staying in the Sifang Inn, as long as you invite them and ask them, you will know! ”

At this time, Wan Delin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and sneered, who should it be, it turned out to be those dart masters! It's a pity that those dart masters have already received his orders, even if they are equipped with knives and axes, they will not reveal half a word of the truth. Therefore, he said to Gongliang: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, it is better to invite those dart masters to prove the innocence of the ministers!" ”

Seeing Wan Delin say this, Gongliang Rongruo said to Xiao Shunzi, who had just returned: "You go and select a few Praetorian Guards and bring those dart masters in the Sifang Inn!" ”

"Yes!" After Xiao Shunzi received the order, he hurriedly selected a few Praetorian Guards and went to the Sifang Inn to bring back those dart masters.

Xiao Shunzi took a few Praetorian Guards to the Sifang Inn, and under the leadership of the shopkeeper, went to the residence of those dart masters.

The shopkeeper knocked lightly on the door, but there was no response inside, he tried to push the door again, and found that the door was locked inside. Yes, he had to knock loudly on the door, "Guest officer, a few guest officers, are you inside?" ”
