Chapter 53, Wang Lang who was bribed
The ministers stood in the main hall, and Uncle Zhao sat on the dragon chair with a black face. The ministers standing below were cautious without knowing what was going on, and they didn't dare to breathe. Han Dang, Wang Gui, and Marshal Liu all squinted as if they were none of their business. Wang Lang and several juniors gathered together without a sound, while Uncle Liu Huaiyi frowned, not knowing what he was thinking. Just when everyone felt that the air was about to condense, Uncle Zhao said with a sneer
"Okay, my minister colluded with the Hu people, and he was still working as a master to build the Hu people's wolf teeth and arrows. You're very nice. ”
The uninformed ministers were shocked. Unexpectedly, the Hu people bought off the ministers who were the craftsmen and supervisors. Wang Gui and the three of them looked at each other, and then closed their eyes again. When Liu Huaiyi heard Uncle Zhao say this, his face suddenly became ugly. Uncle Zhao looked at the chaotic minister and patted the armrest vigorously and said
"Okay, Wang Lang, bring Tang Jiuling up to me."
Wang Lang hurriedly ran outside the hall, took Tang Jiuling from Old Man Li and returned to the Golden Palace. Uncle Zhao looked at Tang Jiuling, who had a dejected face, and suddenly became angry. He walked down in person, put a foot on Tang Jiuling's chest, and said angrily
"Tang Jiuling, do you know how much sacrifice you have caused to my Great Wei Erlang? Do you know how many people will die on the battlefield? ”
Tang Jiuling was lying on the ground, his mouth tightly closed, but the remorse in his eyes was captured by the ministers present. Uncle Zhao also saw the remorse in Tang Jiuling's eyes, and snorted and said
"Tang Jiuling, what is it that you are going to do, I don't believe that you can reach the high-level of the Hu people with a small waiter."
Tang Jiuling struggled to kneel down with a miserable laugh and said
"Your Majesty, all the mistakes are the minister's fault. This is all the contact of the criminals themselves, and it has nothing to do with anyone. Please give your majesty a death. ”
After saying that, he kowtowed to Uncle Zhao three times, Uncle Zhao frowned, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, Uncle Zhao said with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes
"Escort Tang Jiuling down, and behead him in front of the noon gate at noon tomorrow."
Tang Jiuling seemed to be relieved, and said to Uncle Zhao with a smile
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After speaking, he kowtowed to Uncle Zhao three times, and was pressed down by the palace guards. The people in the main hall are all human spirits, where do they not know that Tang Jiuling still has a peak, but I don't know what reason Tang Jiuling just doesn't want to say. Uncle Zhao sat on the dragon chair again and said
"Wang Lang and Baizhan have done a good job in this matter. I decided to restore Wang Lang's rank. It is sealed as the third product. ”
Wang Langzhao was behind without joy or sorrow, squinting his eyes, but the group of gentlemen behind Wang Lang was not calm, and they all grew up with a mouth, that was Sanpin, when was Sanpin so worthless. Zhang Xiao's intestines are now repentant, but he didn't expect Wang Lang to solve the case in three days. I'm really going to be a pants myself. At this time, Uncle Liu Huaiyi stood up and said
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do."
Uncle Zhao said with a smile
"I don't know what's going on with Uncle Guo."
Uncle Guo said
"The minister wants to sue Wang Lang, and Wang Weifang accepted bribes."
The people in the main hall didn't want to wait until they came back for a big reversal. Just now Wang Lang solved the case, Wang Lang was promoted to the third grade at once, everyone understands that this is His Majesty wants to reuse Wang Lang, at this time, Uncle Guo jumped out and said that Wang Lang had taken bribes. This obviously doesn't want Wang Lang to take the throne. Uncle Zhao's smile remained unchanged, Wang Gui and Han Dang glanced at each other, seeing the doubts in each other's eyes, Wang Gui looked at Wang Lang again, and found that the corners of Wang Lang's mouth were slightly upturned, where was the old god standing there, Wang Gui immediately understood, His Majesty knew about Wang Lang's bribery. So I put my mind at ease. Uncle Zhao said with a smile
"Uncle Guo, if you want to pay attention to evidence, do you have evidence?"
Uncle Guo bowed and said
"Back to Your Majesty, there are witnesses to prove that Wang Lang asked him for a bribe last night."
Uncle Zhao said
"Then ask Uncle Guo to pass people on."
Uncle Zhao's reaction was not expected by Uncle Guo, which made Uncle Guo a little suspicious. But it has already been said, so it can only go on. After a while, the Agui from yesterday walked in tremblingly, and saw Uncle Zhao on the Golden Palace kneeling down and stammering
"The grass people, the grass people have seen Your Majesty."
Uncle Zhao said with a smile
"Don't be nervous, get up and talk."
"Yes."
When Agui stood up, he still hesitated and trembled, so Uncle Zhao asked with a smile
"Did anyone want you to ask for a bribe last night? Tell me who it is, and it's really up to you. ”
Ah Gui said yes again and again, looked around at the people in the hall, and when he saw Wang Lang, he said to Uncle Zhao
"Your Majesty, this is the same person who asked for a bribe from the grass people last night."
Uncle Zhao saw that the direction pointed by Agui was Wang Lang, and Uncle Zhao said
"Wang Lang, can you take a bribe from him?"
Wang Lang took a step forward and said
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Uncle Zhao nodded, and the ministers looked at Wang Lang suspiciously, their eyes were a bit like looking at an idiot, you bit it to death and said that you didn't do it, and Your Majesty won't be too difficult for you, why do you admit it yourself, especially that group of gentlemen. is even more anxious for Wang Lang. Uncle Zhao smiled and took out a cloth bag from his sleeve, which was the thirty taels of silver that Agui bribed Wang Lang last night. Casually threw it in front of Agui and said
"Do you see if it's your money?"
Uncle Zhao's actions made everyone stunned. Agui's cold sweat came down. Uncle Zhao said with a smile
"This is what Wang Lang handed to me this morning, what else do you have to say?"
Agui stammered
"Grass people, grass people are out of words."
Uncle Zhao nodded and said
"Well, then do you know that you are now suing the royal court, which is an arrogance, and whether you win the lawsuit or not, you will go to jail."
Ah Gui's face turned pale in an instant, and he looked at Uncle Guo as if asking for help, and Uncle Guo's face was not good-looking. Just as he was about to speak, Uncle Zhao was coldly alive
"Come, put this person in prison."
Ah Gui stared at Uncle Guo tightly with a dead face, but Uncle Guo turned around, and finally Ah Gui was escorted away by the guards without saying a word. Uncle Zhao turned to Wang Lang again and said
"Wang Lang, it's not good to accept bribes from others, I won't restore your rank, although you have made meritorious contributions, but accepting bribes is also a felony, but the merits and demerits are offset, you go and stay with Zhao Tianxiong for a few days and reflect on it."
Wang Lang said with a smile
"Your Majesty, the minister must change his past mistakes and be a new person, and he will not be caught when he accepts bribes in the future."
Uncle Zhao said with a smile
"Go back and stand up, and go to Dali Temple to report to yourself. Don't force me to send someone to escort you. ”
Wang Lang stood back with a smile. The ministers in the main hall understood except for a few who were confused that His Majesty was just protecting Wang Lang and had been cultivating Wang Lang. His Majesty also took advantage of this excuse to protect this young man. What merits and demerits are all false, such a big case was solved, and he was beaten into Dali Temple just by accepting a bribe of thirty taels? Is it the same as a joke. Your Majesty, this is to make the ministers forget what Wang Lang has done these days. lest Wang Lang be targeted.
All the ministers figured out the joints, and they all planned to get close to Wang Gui in the court, it is not uncommon for three officials to be so important, but it is rare for all three people to be so valued.
When Wang Lang returned to the middle of the group of gentlemen, he saw everyone sneaking around
"Lao Zhang, pay back the money. Wei Fang solved the case and quickly repaid the money. ”
Someone took the lead, and everyone asked for debts from Zhang Xiao with a sad face, Zhang Xiao glanced at Wang Lang with resentment, took out the cloth bag from his arms in pain, and repaid the debts one by one, Wang Lang saw that it was deflated in an instant. Zhao Jian smiled and patted Wang Lang's shoulder and said
"Wei Fang, don't worry, my brothers will visit you from time to time."
Wang Lang rolled his eyes and said
"Brother, I'll come out in a few days, what to see, get ready to drink and wait for the news of my victory."
