Chapter Eighty-Three: Extinguishing the Mouth
It was not the partition of a window that gave Wang Lian enough courage, but because he knew that there was a group of Jinyi guards around him to protect him.
As soon as he entered the Criminal Department yesterday, an undercover agent contacted him, which not only comforted him, but also strengthened his confidence and courage.
He specified that he was now caught in a dangerous secret war for the heir, but his wives were dead, and he was single, so what was there to be afraid of!
Jin Yiwei dared to deal with the King of Han, of course, because he was in the prince's family, and he may even be ordered by the emperor.
Although he is a showman, he also knows that this showman was obtained by great luck, and it is almost impossible to go further and become a lifter.
Since King Han didn't believe in his words, don't blame him for fighting back.
Wealth is in danger, and he is now risking his life for a future. He thinks that he still has a little use against the Han King, so he should be safe until the Han King does not lose power.
Yuan Sheng, who brought Zhou Xun here, had already met last night, and he was there, so Wang Lian was not afraid at all.
In front of the people of the Han Palace, he had to show himself well.
Zhou Xun's hands trembled, although he was only an eighth-grade Ji Shan, but because of the relationship between the Han King, many second- and third-grade ministers were courteous to him, and this mere talent dared to shout at him.
In the morning, he was angry with Wang Tong, and he was already angry, but now that he listened to Wang Lian's words, he couldn't wait to get rid of the other party directly.
However, he also knew very well that if he wanted to kill Wang Lian, he must not come forward by himself. Otherwise, King Han would not be able to get out of the relationship, and at that time, he, Ji Shan, would not be able to bear this responsibility.
He suppressed the anger in his chest, suppressed his voice and asked, "King Han treats you well, and is ready to recruit you as the ambassador of the palace treasury." Although your wife is blessed, but you also gave a hundred taels of silver to settle in, which is enough for you to marry another wife, why do you want to accuse the king of Han? ”
At this time, although he knew that Wang Tong was greedy for the silver given to him, he absolutely could not mention it.
Wang Lian sneered: "An ambassador of the library is just a small official who is not in the stream, is it like asking me to sell my wife for glory?" Besides, I have never seen a hundred taels of silver, and if I had this silver, would I have to take a risk! ”
"Since you know that it is dangerous, but you still have to come, are you not afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Han will strangle you with his outstretched hand? If you turn back to the shore now, I will say a few kind words for you in His Royal Highness the King of Han, wouldn't it be ......?"
Wang Lian sneered disdainfully: "As soon as the drum is beaten, can this matter be turned back?" Don't think that I, a talented showman, don't understand the law of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Zhou Xun said again: "Who gave you such courage? Prince? Or is it a grandson? ”
Wang Lian didn't know who it was, but he got on Jinyiwei's ship inexplicably, and now he can't get off. He is not a fool, since he has offended the king of Han, he must not offend the opponent of the king of Han. No matter who it was, he couldn't say it, and even if he knew, he could only pretend not to know now.
He snorted coldly, turned around and sat down with his back to the window, ignoring Zhou Xun again, for fear that if he said more, the other party would see that he actually had nothing to rely on.
Zhou Xun pondered for a moment, feeling that in this place, he couldn't ask anything. Even if you want to do something to Wang Lian, you have to think of a foolproof strategy.
Looking back, he didn't find that there were a few fewer guards just now, and the five people left in the courtyard were all with Yuan Sheng.
Zhou Xun admitted that he had spent twenty taels of silver today, and he had a relationship with Yuan Sheng, and he talked to Yuan Sheng a lot more casually at this time, "Yuan Sijiao, thank you for your convenience today, but this matter is not over yet, and there will be some disturbances in the future." When this matter is over, I will definitely say a lot of good things for you in front of King Han. ”
Yuan Sheng smiled slightly: "So good, so good." ”
Seeing that he was so clumsy and couldn't even say a word, Zhou Xun's heart was full of contempt, he was really a rough man.
Saying goodbye to each other, Yuan Sheng gave them a look, and a jailer took the opportunity to mistake with a guard, and quickly stuffed a small cylinder into the guard's clothes.
After the three of them walked out of the small courtyard, Yuan Sheng took the jailer to the hut where Wang Lian was being held.
That Wang Lian also heard the movement outside, and greeted him with a charming smile. "Lord Yuan, Xiao Sheng didn't say anything, but swore to break with the King of Han."
Yuan Sheng snorted and said, "Very good, don't blame me when you get to the Netherworld, it's all fate!" ”
Before Wang Lian could react, the jailer took out a cylinder and put it to his mouth and blew it vigorously. A thin needle swished and pierced Wang Lian's neck.
Wang Lian shouted, "What do you want to do? ”
But Yuan Sheng had long been guarding against him yelling, and at the same time shouted: "Wang Xiucai, what's wrong with you!" Come on, come on! ”
Before Zhou Xun and the others walked out of the compound of the Criminal Department, a group of guards chased after them, and the first one shouted: "Catch them, don't let them escape......"
"My lord, it's not good, Wang Xiucai, who beat the drum, was killed by the King of Han!"
The teacup in Liu Guan's hand fell to the ground with a clatter, he couldn't care about his tea bowl anymore, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say!" ”
It's not that he didn't hear his subordinates clearly, it's that he didn't want to believe it. A case that was concerned by the emperor had just taken over, and the plaintiff died in the Criminal Department.
This is not an ordinary case, as soon as the drums sounded, even the newspaper published the case today. The people sued the prince, the peach news, and the dispute over the succession, and the entire Ying Tianfu was paying attention to this case.
But the plaintiff died! Or die in his penal department!
Wang Lian is a person destined to die, but when he dies is very important.
As soon as he dies now, the sewage on King Han's body will never be cleaned!
His heart was in turmoil for a moment, and cold sweat ran down his back when he thought of the serious consequences of this incident.
At this time, other officials of the Criminal Department who heard the news were also waiting in front of the hall, their faces heavy one by one.
The inside story of this case is not complicated, today Ji Shan Zhou Xun of the Han Dynasty came to the Criminal Department to visit the plaintiff, but he killed Wang Lian with a quenched blow needle.
If it weren't for Yuan Sheng, the prison secretary, who found out in time, several murderers would have swaggered out of the criminal department.
The needle was also blown from the body of the guards of the Han Palace, and this matter seems to be undeniable.
However, the Criminal Department was originally the yamen for investigating cases, and the simpler the case, the more complicated the situation behind it.
If the prince of Han came, it was still possible for him to kill Wang Lian, because everyone knew that he was a tyrannical and decisive person.
But let Zhou Xun, a weak scholar, do it, this matter always seems not so normal.
Moreover, is it really necessary for the Han Wangfu to kill Wang Lian?
"Prepare a sedan chair, I'm going to see the emperor......"
This matter involves the King of Han, and in the final analysis, it is still a family matter belonging to the royal family, so it is the most correct choice for the emperor to decide.
Liu Guan hurried to the palace, and today Zhu Di chose to deal with state affairs in the palace. Outside the main hall, the ministers of each ministry were waiting in turn, and several scholars from the cabinet were exchanging opinions with everyone.
Most of these people are deputies, and even some are middle-level officials, such as Liu Guan, as soon as they arrived at the door of the main hall, they were greeted by Yang Shiqi, a scholar of Hanlin. "Why did Liu Shangshu personally play the chapter today?"
"Something big has happened, Master Yang, please immediately report to the emperor, I have a big event to return."
"Please come with me......"
introduced Liu Guan into the palace, Yang Shiqi bypassed the screen and reported Liu Guan's visit to Zhu Di.
"Check, check it out for me! I must know that the King of Han has not been imprisoned, and then he can send someone to the Criminal Department to kill the plaintiff directly, that Zhou Xun is only eight grades of discipline, how can he enter the house in the Criminal Department! ”
Zhu Dilong walked in a tiger step, walked back and forth twice on the royal platform, and then looked at Liu Guan who was kneeling on the ground. "I knew that your Liu father and son were corrupt, but I thought that your father and son were still neat in their work, leaving your father and son dead, if you can't give me a satisfactory result in this matter, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings!"
Liu Guan's cold sweat flowed faster, he originally thought that his behavior was meticulous, but he didn't want the emperor to know it clearly. Fortunately, he didn't know that he had secretly taken refuge in King Han, otherwise he might not be able to get out of the palace today.
Not to mention that Liu Guan is sincerely afraid here, in Jinyi Weili, Ji Gang, who got the news, is extremely comfortable.
Just beat the drum yesterday, and today the plaintiff died, and this time, not only Liu Guan, but also the emperor was also blocked into a dead end.
He could imagine Zhu Di's outburst, the more angry he was, the more favorable the result would be for them!
Because of an angry Zhu Di, who can do everything, King Han is in danger this time.
What is even more beneficial to them is that today Ji Shan of the Han Wangfu went to the Criminal Department, regardless of whether this matter was done by the King of Han or not, he sent someone to contact Wang Lian, this matter was originally wrong.
King Han is now a yellow mud that has fallen into the crotch of his pants......
It doesn't matter if he did it or not, the important thing is that he will definitely be unlucky.
Moreover, the people on Jinyiwei's side barely moved, so that no one could grasp the slightest trick, and now he can watch the big show comfortably on the side.
After being furious, Zhu Di of course also understood that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, why did this Wang Lian dare to sue King Han, this is the most important thing.
But now that Wang Lian is dead, this matter can no longer be resolved.
He pondered for a while, calmed down and asked, "Where is the prince?" ”
"His Royal Highness has not been out of the palace for three days, and he has been in poor health for the past few days, and he has been taking medicine."
Zhu Di directly denied him. "It won't be him, it's kind to say it's good, and it's ignorant to say it's ugly. He just wants to fight with King Han, and he won't use such means. ”
He asked again, "What about the grandson?" ”
"His Royal Highness Taisun went to Xiamaqiao Farm yesterday, and he is still checking the information of the water master."
Zhu Di pondered for a while and said: "I may not have left the palace for a long time, and I am going to inspect the young army of the grandson." ”
