The one who was really stunned among the people was still the person concerned, Liu Rus, Qian Qianyi's sudden backlash caught her off guard, she stood for a while, and suddenly looked at Fang Yuan and said, "Brother Fang, this is all arranged by you?" ”

Fang Yuan smiled at her and said, "I said earlier, Qian Qianyi didn't dare to commit suicide by throwing himself into the water, Sister Liu believes it now?" ”

Liu Ru asked, "What conditions have you negotiated with Qian Muzhai, and he will stand on your side?" ”

Fang Yuan took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly, "Qian Muzhai caught the rebel party for me, I will ensure that he enjoys his old age in peace, writes books and biography, and continues to be his literary champion!" ”

Liu Ru was speechless, but he didn't expect Qian Qianyi to sacrifice his life at the last moment, but instead turned to cooperate with Fang Yuan. It seems that it is not her who knows Qian Qianyi better, but Fang Yuan.

At this point, Qian Qianyi divorced his wife in public and was no longer martyred, and Liu Rushi had no morality to be martyred again, and this life was finally saved. Who doesn't covet the prosperity of the world and prefer to commit suicide? What's more, she is still a woman like her who is in her prime and famous all over the world.

Liu Ru is heart hung on the stone finally fell to the ground, both surprised and happy, biting his lip lightly and said, "Brother Fang, it turns out that you have been hiding from me, causing me to act in a monkey show for a long time!" ”

Fang Yuan Zhengrong said, "Sister Liu, I won't tell you because I want you to preach in public, and you are a chaste woman." Today, Qian Qianyi didn't dare to be martyred, not that you didn't dare to be martyred! ”

Fang Yuan thought about her everywhere, and even took care of her reputation, Liu Ru was still full of joy, but on this occasion, she could only endure her joy, sighed lightly, and looked at the big boat in the center of the river.

Qian Qianyi began to look at the roster of Jinyiwei one by one, confessing to the members of the party who formed a party for personal gain.

"Qu Shiyun."

"Qian Longti."

"Songjiang Prefect Lu Mingzhan."

“......”

Fang Yuan had already given an order to Jinyiwei, Qian Qianyi read one, and Jinyiwei, who was monitoring the scene, immediately arrested one. These officials and literati who formed a party and ran a private business in the background originally wanted to escape, but they were arrested from the crowd by Jinyiwei one by one and escorted to the Peach Blossom River.

These arrested officials and literati kept shouting that they were wronged, and Jin Yiwei smashed down a few knife handles, and one by one they were immediately honest.

The onlookers were in a commotion, and as Qian Qianyi's list became more and more read, the arrested people also knelt in a few rows, and the panic continued to spread.

Fang Yuan ordered Hu Qi to start pacifying the people through the megaphone, so that everyone should not panic, today is to catch the rebel party that led the Japanese soldiers and Zheng soldiers to invade and loot, and it has nothing to do with others.

Qian Qianyi read for nearly two hours, and finally finished reading all the 600 people on the roster in modern times. Among the nearly 600 people, 476 were arrested at the scene, and more than 100 people were arrested by Jinyi Wei from the official mansion and mansion to Taohuawu. These officials and literati awaiting trial knelt in a row for every 100 people along the Peach Blossom River, a total of six rows.

Seeing that the arrest operation had been successfully completed, the next step was to try the case, and immediately sent someone to inform the three members of the cabinet to come to try the case.

Wang Bingjian, Xi Benzhen, and Mao Bijiang of the cabinet also looked at each other, and Fang Yuan suddenly made such a big formation, but he didn't know that he would meet the three of them in advance. The sudden purge caught the three of them off guard. Now Fang Yuan has accused these 600 literati of being a convict, and ordered the three of them to come out to try the case, just to ask them to carry the black pot, and the three of them are full of stupidity.

Wang Bingjian and the other three cabinet members reached a consensus after a short meeting in private, and went to the pavilion together, and Xi Benzhen was the first bird, and Chong Fang Yuan said with a gloomy face, "Governor Fang, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan has never had this kind of trial posture. The so-called crimes of Tongwei and Tongzheng, a discerning person will know that he wants to add a crime at first sight! Fang Yuan disliked the literati of the Donglin Party, and everyone knew it. But if Jiangnan can't be saved, and Governor Fang's personal preferences can kill officials and literati at will, the entire Jiangnan will definitely be panicked and the people's hearts will be in turmoil! ”

Mao Bijiang is also full of anger, he is an eclectic character, and now he is forced to be anxious, and he said unabashedly, "Governor Fang, most of these nearly six hundred are talents in the Jiangnan literary circle. ”

Fang Yuan's eyes stared at him coldly and said, "What does Mao Gongzi mean by comparing me to Qin Shi Huang?" ”

Mao Bijiang didn't care about his anger, and continued, "Qin Shi Huang burned books and killed dozens of Confucian students, and Governor Fang killed 600 literati when he opened his mouth, and the tyranny was even more tyrannical than Qin Shi Huang!" ”

After all, Chen Yuan had an old relationship with him, although the two failed to get together due to fate, but when they saw him confronting Fang Yuan in person, they were also secretly worried.

She hurriedly ordered the maid of the peach garden to bring the lotus leaf sweet water that had been prepared earlier, poured a full cup for Fang Yuan, and handed it to Fang Yuan, "Governor Fang, Mao Gongzi, it's hot, let's drink some lotus leaf sweet water to cool off the heat, it's not too late to talk about it!" ”

There was such a beauty playing in the middle, and the atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.

Fang Yuan forcibly suppressed his anger, and also smiled, "Mao Gongzi compared me to Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, and he clearly promoted me. Qin Shi Huang swept away the six kingdoms, unified weights and measures, and created the foundation of the unification of China for all generations. Whether it's martial arts or civil governance, I can't see the shadow of Qin Shi Huang! ”

The princess also said, "Someone! Give each of the three cabinet members a bowl, first to cool off, and then it's not too late to talk. ”

Several eunuchs who served her immediately stepped forward and poured sweet water for Wang Bingjian and the others.

Wang Bingjian drank it all, put down the cup, and said to Fang Yuan, "Governor Fang, this case, the cabinet can't try it and doesn't dare to try it." If Governor Fang insists on carrying out this kind of inhumane massacre and purge, we will not dare to serve in the cabinet anymore, so we can only resign and return to our hometown. ”

Wang Bingjian, who was the first assistant, had already expressed his attitude, and Xi Benzhen and Mao Bijiang also rushed at Fang Yuan, "Governor Fang, if you insist on slaughtering, the two of us will not be able to be members of this cabinet, please ask Governor Fang to find another virtuous person!" ”

The attitude of the three of them is surprisingly unanimous, that is, they resolutely resist Fang Yuan's brutal behavior this time, and would rather resign and return to their hometown than act for the tiger.

Fang Yuan squinted his eyes slightly, inspecting the three of them back and forth, Chen Yuan poured a full cup of tea, Fang Yuan held the tea, tasted the tea unhurriedly, and did not answer.

For such a major military and political event, the three cabinet members resigned together, and even the princess didn't know what to do, and the other Xiaoyuan, Liu Rushi and others couldn't intervene.

There was silence in the gazebo for a while, and the needles could be heard.

After a long time, Fang Yuan suddenly smiled, put down the teacup and said, "Elder Wang Ge, the head of the Xi family, and the young man Mao, did the three of you have any misunderstanding?" When did I say I was going to slaughter these 600 people? ”

Wang Bingjian and the three of them glanced at each other, but they didn't believe the other party's words. Fang Yuan made such a big battle, didn't he want to kill people and establish his authority, could it be that he would release people after acting in a scene?

Mao Bijiang asked bluntly, "Since Governor Fang has called the cabinet to try the case, what crime does Governor Fang want to give them, he should always give the cabinet a thorough understanding." ”

Fang Yuan didn't answer his words, but his eyes fell on the princess.

The princess had a good understanding with him, and immediately got up and said, "I have been tossing all day, and I am hungry." Horse, you and the cabinet members talk first, and if it is not related, let's have dinner first! ”

As the hostess of Fang Yuan's backyard, since she opened her mouth to leave, the other women should not continue to stay in the pavilion. Fang Yuan wanted her to leave with these women, and then she would talk about military and political affairs with the people in the cabinet. The cabinet is important, and unrelated people, especially women, cannot be present.

The princess took Wang Chengen and Mama Liang, and took the lead to leave the pavilion, and the girls also followed with knowledge and interest, and only Fang Yuan, Hu Qi, who was guarding, and the three cabinet members were left in the pavilion.

Now that the women are gone, Fang Yuan decided to have a head-on showdown with the three cabinet members!
