The two had expected that not many officials would come here. Indeed, according to common sense, who would run from the warmth of the yamén in such a cold weather, and take the risk of offending some people, and taking an irrelevant leatherman? However, this time, they 'don't know the true face of Lushan, only because they are in this mountain'...... As everyone knows, today's silence has become an existence that cannot be offended!

As he was talking, he saw some officials coming from the city, and when he looked closely, it was a group of more than a dozen people from the Ministry of Industry, led by Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry and Pan Jitao, the governor of the river, who came to the two of them, clasped their fists and saluted: "We are here on behalf of Zhu Butang." "Zhu Heng, that stubborn old man, I don't know what to think.

After a while, the left shì lang Yin Shizhan and the right shì lang Gao Yi led the crowd to come, and did not greet everyone, set up their own offering tables, and waited quietly on the side of the road...... This surprised Tan Lun and Xu Wei even more, you must know that Zhao Zhenji and Hu Zongxian are old enemies, and now he can allow his subordinates to come, which is really unbelievable.

After a while, Wang Guoguang, the head of the household, also brought people over, bowed his hand to several ministers, set up an offering table, and stood on the side of the road.

Now that several ministries have arrived, where do the governors of the General Administration, Taifu Temple, and Guanglu Temple dare to slack off? also heard the news one after another......

When it was almost time to get to Chenpai, Huang Guangsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Yang Yushu, the secretary of Dali Temple, actually came with their subordinates, and seeing that everyone cast curious eyes, Huang Guangsheng said in a deep voice: "This official and Lord Zhou were ordered to try this case, but this trip is on business. "That's a very good reason.

In addition to the presence of the ministers of the ministry, more heavyweight figures appeared--the young master of the crown prince and Chen Yiqin, a scholar of Dongge University, accompanied by several Si Zhilang, also came here.

Chen Yiqin's appearance caused a stir, after all, the cabinet scholars are very reserved, especially Chen Yiqin, who is also known for his low profile. Needless to say, being able to come this time is also for the face of silence.

For a while, in front of Yongding Mén, there were more than 100 officials from various ministries, and although everyone had their own thoughts, the scene did look very grand.

The supporting roles have all arrived, but the main protagonist has not yet arrived - this main protagonist is not Hu Zongxian, but Shen Cunyan, a scholar of Dongge University and the crown prince. In fact, most of these officials came for the sake of silence...... Although it is now a sensitive moment when the mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings, no one dares to say what it will be like when the water falls. But Hu Zongxian died tragically, and the imperial court must give an explanation, and there will be no few big people, and Jiāo can't pass it. And the status of silence will also go to a higher level.

For the future of silence, a group of high-ranking officials still have confidence, as ministers who are in line with the emperor, their holy relatives are unmatched after the high arch is gone. Moreover, his personality and official reputation are ten times better than the narrow-minded and rigid Gao Suqing. Not only is it very popular, but there are also real achievements and qualifications there...... Now Hu Zongxian has used another death to block his last hidden danger.

Now it is safe to say that unless he is willing, even Elder Xu Ge will not be able to move him...... And he is the third-ranked bachelor in the cabinet, and when Xu Ge retires, he only has a good Mr. Li Chūn Fang in front of him, so in the foreseeable future, Shen Jiangnan will be promoted to the first assistant, and the possibility of long-term government is great. If it were possible, no one would want to offend the future masters of this empire.

Besides, death is great, no matter how Hu Zongxian said it, he was also a member of the imperial court, and all the Shangshu and shìlang came to pick it up, and no one could say anything.

Under the control of this psychology, the official seal of the eighteen yamen mén in the capital either came in person, or entrusted the second official to come, in short, in various names, gathered in front of Yongding mén. This scene made many officials who were still ignorant suddenly wake up, it turned out that Shen Ge's status in the rivers and lakes was already comparable to that of old monsters like Xu Jie and Yang Bo.

Today they were destined to be astonished to the end, and at the end of the hour they saw an ox cart slowly approaching from the city. The green ox pulling the cart was wearing a white curtain, and on the wheel behind it, a man in plain clothes sat on one side.

The young man in white was silent, and the old man in black was Yang Bo, a heavenly official and a captain!

Seeing these two people appear in an ox cart made everyone's jaws drop. You must know that although they are here today, it does not mean that they are the people on the silent side, but they are just dead, so they came to express their condolences. If they really want to fight, which side they will stand on must be another matter.

But Yang Bo is different from them, he is the leader of the Jin Party who surpasses Da Jiuqing and is on a par with Shoufu, and he is the most famous in the court, and he can be said to be a person who stomps his feet and trembles in Beijing. Thinking about it further, it is even more intriguing, you must know that Yang Bo was impeached repeatedly by the Yanguan because he offended Xu Gelao, and he almost lost his life. After that, except for going to the office, he closed his doors and almost did not appear in the public eye.

Now he and Shen Mo are black and white, and they have come in the same ox cart, and the meaning of this move could not be more obvious......

"What's the matter, this person is kind enough, right?" Seeing everyone's surprised appearance from afar, Yang Bo said with a slight pride: "You can agree to my conditions." ”

"It's just a walk," Shen Mo was much thinner than before, so his eyes were bigger, and his gaze was more difficult to catch: "You just want me to bleed, you are too jīng." ”

"This battle is won, and it is also your credit, let's benefit each other." Yang Bo was not in a hurry, he knew that Shen Mo would definitely agree.

"It's up to you." Approaching the crowd, he silently dropped a sentence and closed his mouth.

"You agreed." Yang Bo didn't look at him either, and talked about getting the benefits.

When the ox cart arrived in front of Yongding Mén, the coachman led the ox, and a shì guard stepped forward to help the two adults get out of the car.

The officials also gathered around, some expressed their condolences to Shen Mo, and some couldn't help but ask Yang Bodao: "Why did you come with Shen Xiang?" ”

"Hu Ruzhen is my old subordinate, and half of my student is counted." Yang Boyi said to the old man: "Of course the old man is coming." "When Yang Bo was the governor of Xuanda, Hu Zongxian was the governor of Xuanda, although they were not subordinate to each other, but they didn't look up and looked down, and it was reasonable to say that they were subordinates. And Hu Zongxian did learn a lot of tactics and tactics from him, but most of them were stealing teachers, so although Yang Bo was thick-skinned, he had to say that he was half a student.

Although he explained clearly, few people believed it, and all the officials decided that he was here to support Shen Mo, and it seemed that if something happened in the future, the two would inevitably advance and retreat together.

More nonsense is still to come, after Shen Mo and Yang Bo arrived, two more big men came in a sedan chair. When I got off the sedan chair, I saw that it was Li Chūnfang, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, and Zhang Juzheng, a scholar of Dongge University. These two people with solemn faces hugged their fists at the silent few people, and then stood on the side without saying a word.

Now people can't understand it, Lord Shen is naturally very face-saving, but if he has face, it is enough for someone to come out of the cabinet, and now except for Lord Shoufu, all of them are present, I am afraid there is another mystery in this......

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

Yongding mén was quiet for a while, but the official road moved in the distance, watching from a distance, there was a team of more than 100 people coming, everywhere the team went, yellow paper and white flowers rose all over the sky, and the soldiers on the side of the road knelt down on their knees and cried loudly...... It was Hu Zongxian's coffin that arrived.

Shen Mo clenched his fists, opened his eyes wide, and looked at the slowly coming coffin for a moment. In all fairness, he and Hu Zongxian don't have much friendship, and they are even more different in terms of style and style, and they will never become friends. However, this does not affect their mutual appreciation and trust in each other, because they both have an ambition to take the world as their own responsibility, both have the determination to identify goals and never look back, and they are both heroes who only seek victory regardless of means.

It's just that one has been rewarded for his ambition and has been sealed in the coffin; The other is bigger, more hidden, and has not yet reached the day of the storm.

But as long as it is such a person, they will clearly feel the breath of the same kind, and even if they are different from each other, they will appreciate and understand each other...... With such a kind of people, you will not feel lonely even if you are alone; Without such a kind, you will be extremely lonely, even if you are in a crowd.

'Brother Merlin, Brother Merlin, you have successfully reached the end, but I still have to move forward alone...... 'Shen Mo watched Hu Zongxian's coffin getting closer and closer, and the loneliness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and finally the tears of the bean were rolling down, and he could no longer suppress the sorrow in his heart:

From now on, there will be no more acquaintances, the mountains and rivers will be evil, what can you ask for in the sub-period? !

The procession finally sailed to Yongding Mén under the eyes of the people. The officials also saw clearly, it turned out to be more than 100 brocade guards wearing cloaks and hats, escorting a carriage with a coffin and escorting two prisoner carts. When they reached the front of the city, the Jinyi guard who led the team raised his hand, and the team slowly stopped.

"Your Excellency is polite." The leader of the brocade guard clasped his fists on the carriage and said: "The Zhenfu Division is ordered by Qin to escort a group of prisoners into Beijing, if everyone is fine, please get out of the way." ”

At this time, Huang Guangsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Yang Yushu, the secretary of Dali Temple, said loudly: "This Qincha, I have an edict here, but it is for you." ”

"Oh." The leader of the Jinyi guard didn't dare to slack off, quickly turned over and dismounted, walked to Huang Guangsheng, and saw that it was really Ming Huang Sè's edict in his hand, and quickly knelt down and said, "The minister accepts the order." Then he took it and unfolded it, then put it away and said: "Since the edict is to be tried by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, then I will obey the orders of the adults." ”

Looking at the silence standing in the distance, Huang Guangsheng said in a low voice: "Send it to the Criminal Department first, and let me do an autopsy." ”

"Lord Huang." At this time, Shen Mo said in a voice: "Can I take a look at him first?" ”

Huang Guangsheng looked at the leader of the brocade guard, and the latter was embarrassed: "Because there is an autopsy, it is still the same as it was at that time, I am afraid it will hinder the view." ”

"Just about to see what my old brother was tortured into." Shen Mo insisted.

"This ......" Shen Mo said so, how could Huang Guangsheng not give face? Pretending to be silent for a moment, he said, "Okay." ”

"Open." As soon as the leader of the brocade guard waved his hand, two soldiers slowly pushed the lid of the coffin open.

Shen Mo took a deep breath, walked to the edge of the coffin, glanced inside, and then stood there as if he was stunned.

Huang Guangsheng stepped forward and looked into the coffin, and couldn't help but feel a tingling scalp...... He is also an old criminal name, and at a glance, it can be seen that the deceased suffered a long period of inhumane torture during his lifetime, and his body is unbearable, which is rare for many years.

At this time, Yang Bo and several ministers also came up to take a look, and all of them turned pale, and Wang Guoguang even vomited on the spot. The leader of the brocade guard hurriedly asked his subordinates to close the lid of the coffin, but many officials had already seen it, and all of them changed their faces, 'It's too miserable...... It's really miserable...... "no one is ......" and "birds and beasts are not as good as ......" exclamations are everywhere.

But everyone's attention was immediately attracted by silence - when the coffin lid was changed and buckled, blocking his vision, silence's eyes turned black, he spat out a mouthful of blood mist, and fell backwards.

Fortunately, the officials on the side had already noticed his strange appearance, and hurriedly reached out to catch him, and everyone hula surrounded him, and the exclamation of "Pavilion Elder, Pavilion Elder ......" drowned out other movements.

Yang Bo separated everyone, picked up Shen Mo's arm and simply veined it, and then used his big hand to róu his heart, after more than a dozen times, Shen Mo finally woke up slowly, tears flowed down like beads, and muttered: "It hurts me to death......" As he spoke, blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth.

"Hurry up and send your family home, and quickly ask the imperial doctor for treatment," Yang Bo stood up and instructed the silent shì Wei: "He is overly sad and has hurt his internal organs, but he must not be careless." ”

Shen Mo's guards were already frightened, and when they heard this, they hurriedly lifted Shen Mo up and pulled him back on the ox cart.

As soon as he left silently, Yang Bo said to Huang Guangsheng: "Why Shen Ge Lao is like this, you should know very well. ”

"Yes......" Although they are both ministers, how dare Huang Guangsheng take Qiao in front of Yang Bo? xiǎo nodded and said, "Lord Hu is too miserable......"

"Investigate this case to the end, let Master Hu be blinded...... I believe that this is also Shen Ge Lao's wish. After Yang Bo finished his deep command, his eyes drifted to the two prisoner carts again, and said: "You can't pass the test with this kind of thing that can't be put on the table." Saying that, he glanced back at the silent Li and Zhang, and said in a somewhat strange tone: "Am I right, two elders?" ”

"Not bad." Li Chūnfang was still stunned, but Zhang Juzheng had already said in a deep voice: "This case is of bad quality, the impact is extremely bad, and if it is not thoroughly investigated, it is not enough for the people to ......be angry" As he spoke, he changed his words and said: "Huang Butang is an old criminal department who has handled the Yan Shifan case, and it is most ......suitable for him to try this case."

"I'm sure he'll find out." Li Chūnfang came back to his senses and answered.

"Then listen to the good news." Yang Bo stroked his beard, glanced at Huang Guangsheng and said, "Huang Butang, people are doing it, the sky is watching, don't let the old man down." ”

"Must be ......" On a cold day, Huang Guangsheng was already sweating profusely, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were trembling, as a person in the game, he could hear the chún in it, and no matter what he did, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the anger of the other party.

This is the sorrow of xiǎo horn sè, without roots and foundations, and it is impossible to get rid of Shangshu.
