The Gusu market is bustling and lively. At this moment, four Praetorian Guards, dressed in armor and armed with swords, were escorting a carriage through the market.

On the carriage was a pig iron box with a large iron lock fastened to it.

The Praetorian Guard who took the lead was none other than Zhang Xun, who held a sword in his hand, and this sword was the Chongli Sword forged a few days ago. There is another person behind him, it is Heyu. He Yu looked a little nervous, he lowered his head, for fear of being recognized, but from time to time he looked around, observing the movements around him.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of a large mansion, Zhang Xun ordered someone to call the door, after the door opened, Zhang Xun said a few words to the butler, then handed the carriage to the butler, and then turned around and left with the others.

The butler drove the carriage into the courtyard and closed the gate.

At the same time, Gong Wanran and Xiao Shi had followed Bo Yao to the palace, and Bo Yao explained the situation to King Wu, who was shocked and a little suspicious at the same time, so he ordered someone to quickly go to the treasury to verify.

The official of the verification ran into the palace in a hurry, knelt down and reported: "Report to the king, after careful verification, the gold offered by Yue Guo this time is only 1,300 taels. ”

Xiao Shi stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, it's not that my country only gave 1,300 taels of gold, but Lord Huang snatched 200 taels, and the gold that my country donated was 1,500 taels. ”

King Wu took the letter of state, which clearly wrote "1,500 taels of gold" and was stamped with the seal of the Yue Kingdom, King Wu frowned tightly and was silent.

At this time, Bo Yao stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, after the people of Gonghui found the minister to explain the matter, the minister felt that the matter was very important, and if it was found to be true, it must not be tolerated. ”

King Wu thought for a long time and ordered: "Chuan Lang Zhong ordered Huang Yun." ”

It didn't take long for Huang Yun to enter the main hall wearing armor, and he was about to salute, but he heard King Wu shouting loudly: "General Lang Zhong ordered to remove his armor." ”

As soon as the words fell, several guards immediately stepped forward and took off Huang Yun's armor.

Huang Yun saw that everyone was looking at him with solemn expressions, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

King Wu asked, "Lord Huang, let me ask you, have you handed over and verified the gifts presented by Yue Guojin?" ”

"Returning to the king, this official has completed the handover of gifts under the supervision of Lord Gonghui, and the number of gifts is exactly the same as the handover order and the letter of the Yue Kingdom."

King Wu turned to look at Gong Hui Ran, and asked again, "Lord Gong Hui, is what Lord Huang said true?" ”

Gong Wanran shook his head, "What Lord Huang said is not a thing, Lord Huang has never informed the official when the handover will be carried out, and the official has never supervised the handover work of Lord Huang. ”

Hearing this, Huang Yun's scalp was numb, and the whole person was stunned, and it took a while to react, he pointed at Gong Huiran and scolded: "Gong Huiran! Aren't you! The handover was only completed this morning under your supervision, how can you be untrustworthy?! ”

Gong Wanran shook his head and said, "This official really doesn't know. ”

Huang Yun saw that Gong Wanran's attitude was so firm, so he felt that things were not good, and looked at the other two again, Xiao Xue's eyes were sinister, Bo Ya was full of disdain, he knew that the crisis was coming, and hurriedly asked King Wu: "King, Gong Wanran is full of nonsense, and he clearly wants to harm me!" Although I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, please don't believe him! ”

King Wu asked again: "Envoy Xiao, you said that Lord Huang asked you for a bribe, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Exactly! Lord Huang privately asked me for a bribe to give him a portion of the gold that had been offered to His Majesty, and when I did not agree, he snatched the gold and forcibly dragged it in without handing it over. ”

"Xiao Shi! You're spewing blood! Huang Yun fell to his knees with a thud and begged King Wu: "King! How could I possibly do such a thing?! This kind of thing doesn't make sense! ”

Xiao Shi immediately saluted King Wu and said, "Your Majesty, last year, Lord Huang led his troops to the Chen State, and was captured by me, and Lord Huang held a grudge against this, so he took this opportunity to snatch the gold, so that I couldn't make a difference!" ”

"Captured?" Hearing this, King Wu was confused, and immediately became angry, and asked, "Huang Yun! What's going on? Why have I never heard of you? ”

Huang Yun was embarrassed and speechless.

Seeing Huang Yun's appearance, King Wu was sure that what Xiao Yu said was true, and he angrily pointed at Huang Yun and scolded: "Okay, you Huang Yun, you actually concealed the battle situation, and when this matter is clarified, I will settle accounts with you!" ”

"King! It was a special situation, and I ...... I'm here to save the prince......"

As soon as these words came out, King Wu became angry. Huang Yun mentioned that the prince originally wanted to exonerate himself by saving the prince, but he never thought that the fact that the prince was captured would seriously damage King Wu's face.

At this time, Bo Yao suddenly interrupted Huang Yun and scolded: "Lord Huang! Needless to say, last year's war is now! The king's heart is like a mirror! What you should do now is to find out what you are asking for a bribe! ”

"Wronged! King! Xiao Shi and Gong Hui are clearly colluding to frame me! How dare I openly ask for a bribe! Yes! That's right! I have a handover order here, and both of them have fingerprints on the handover order! ”

Huang Yun hurriedly took out a brocade silk from his arms, climbed to the feet of King Wu, and handed the brocade to King Wu.

King Wu opened the brocade silk and saw that the amount of gold recorded on the brocade silk was "1,300 taels", which was indeed 200 taels different from the "1,500 taels" on the national book of the Yue Kingdom, and there were indeed two handprints at the place where the money was settled.

King Wu was puzzled, and threw the brocade silk to Gong Huiran, "Lord Gong Hui, there are two fingerprints on this, but you and Xiao Envoy pressed it?" ”

Gong Wanran shook his head and said, "It's not the minister's handprint." ”

Xiao Shi scratched his head and said, "What is this?" I've never seen this, let alone press my handprints. ”

Huang Yun was confused, pointed at the two and scolded: "You two! How! How can this be! It's obviously a morning thing, why do you turn around and don't admit it at this time?! ”

Xiao Shi smiled: "Lord Huang is really joking, if it is really my handprint, how dare I not admit it?" Now that Lord Huang has taken out all the handover orders, why don't we just check the handprints? ”

"Good! Check it out! I'm going to see how you two deny it! Huang Yun pointed at Xiao Shi and Gong Wanran and said viciously.

So, Gong Wanran and Xiao Shi pressed the clear fingerprints of ten fingers on the two blank brocades on the spot.

Xiao Shi wiped his hands and saluted King Wu: "Wu is one of the best countries today, right and wrong are reasonable in the end, and I hope Your Majesty will uphold justice!" ”

Huang Yun also hurriedly kowtowed to King Wu and said, "Great King! The minister is really wronged, and now that the evidence is conclusive, I hope that the king will punish these two people for the crime of being framed! ”

King Wu did not speak, but compared the fingerprints of the two with the national letter of the Yue Kingdom one by one.

Huang Yun was originally full of confidence, just waiting for the king's order, he personally stepped forward to take down the two, but after a long time, he didn't see any reaction from King Wu. Huang Yun began to realize that things did not seem to be what he imagined, he had dealt with Xiao Se, and knew that this person was insidious and cunning, and Gong Wanran was even more thoughtful, if these two joined forces to deal with him, I am afraid that things would be difficult for him.

At this time, King Wu threw the two brocade silks and handover slips with handprints in front of Huang Yun, and said coldly: "Take a look for yourself." ”

Huang Yun picked up two brocade silks, looked at them again and again, and found that the fingerprints of the two were completely different from the fingerprints on the handover sheet.

"Have you seen enough?" King Wu asked.

"King! Weichen is wronged! This matter was deliberately framed by the two of them! ”

Xiao Shi saluted to King Wu and said, "Your Majesty! As an envoy of the Vietnamese country, he was responsible for the friendship between the two countries, but Lord Huang forcibly solicited bribes, snatched gifts, bullied and humiliated. This matter not only harms His Majesty's face, but also harms the demeanor of Wu Guo's great power, and at this time, Lord Huang took out this fictitious handover order with the intention of framing him! It's really a gentleman's disdain, and I hope Your Majesty will uphold justice! ”

Huang Yun was confused, he didn't know how Xiao Shi did it, but the current situation made him speechless.

"Huang Yun, what else do you have to say?" King Wu asked.

"Wronged! Treat unjustly! This is frame-up! It's a frame-up! They had their mudras in the morning! Obviously pressed! ”

At this time, Gong Wanran said: "Lord Huang, since this matter is not clear, it is better to let people search the house and the house to prove their innocence." ”

"Yes, yes!" The panicked Huang Yun hurriedly asked King Wu: "Great King! King! The minister really hasn't done such a thing! What kind of forcible bribery, snatching gifts, is simply framed! King! The minister asked for a search and returned the minister's innocence! ”

King Wu nodded angrily and said, "Hmph, let's search first, but this is not enough to prove your innocence." ”

"Thank you, King! Thank you, King! Huang Yun kowtowed again and again.

"Someone! Escort him down first! King Wu shouted, then turned to Bo Yao and said, "You personally take people to search, and you must find out!" ”

"Whoa." Bo Ya saluted.
