The next morning, the king of Shang announced to his ministers that the doctor Mei Bo had assassinated the Son of Heaven and had been ambushed. The civil and military ministers led by Yaxiang Zigan and King Wucheng denounced Mei Bo's crimes in the main hall and called the Son of Heaven Shengming. Since then, the matter of Maeber has been completely procedurally over.

In fact, Mei Bo's matter has been troubled for so many days, there are already a lot of guards involved, and the news has already been leaked so much that he can't cover it, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty know that Mei Bo is a monster, but this kind of ghost and god thing is really not suitable to talk about in the court, so there will be today's scene, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the people of the world.

Next, it's time to wrap up another thing. There are also ten ministers of the court who have been imprisoned in their cells because of the plague, and it has been six days, and it is really unreasonable not to give them an explanation.

It was still played by the sons of Axiangzi, and the ten ministers had been ascertained by the doctors that they were not infected with the plague, so they were ordered to be released.

The king of Shang readily agreed, and asked Chao Lei to bring ten ministers to the main hall.

Although these ten ministers were imprisoned in prison these days, they were not guilty of crimes, so they were not embarrassed by the jailers. The rooms are carefully cleaned and cleaned up, and there is a supply of good food and drink every day, except for a few doctors who go to check every day, and they do not bother much, so most people not only do not show their faces, but also gain weight.

The reason why I say most people and not all of them is because there is one official among them, who is unkempt, has a blue nose and swollen face, has bloodshot eyes, walks with a limp, and has a sense of standing out from the crowd. This person is naturally the doctor Fei Zhong.

Everyone went up to the main hall and saluted the king of Shang, and the king of Shang said: "Ladies and gentlemen, in order to prevent the plague these days, I have wronged you. Today, since it has been found out that none of you are sick, it is natural that you should send you back to your home as soon as possible to recuperate. In order to thank you Aiqing for the sacrifices made over the past few days, I specially gave each person twenty brocades and ten jars of imperial wine, which can be regarded as some compensation I have made for you. ”

The words of the king of Shang were so polite, and everyone was naturally sensible, and when they heard this, they bowed and thanked them and said: "It is really a matter of duty for us to sacrifice for the court, and we are ashamed to receive the king's reward." ”

King Shang said kindly: "All of you Aiqing are pillars of the country, and I am very relieved to think about it." Let's go back to the house to rest quickly, and when you have to cultivate your body, the affairs of the court are indispensable to the concerted efforts of all Aiqing. ”

And they wept with gratitude, bowed down again and gave thanksgiving, and then got up and left. Suddenly, a person in the crowd cried out: "King, king, Wechen has something to do, Wechen has suffered a great grievance, you have to be the master of Wechen." Everyone looked fixedly, and this person was the doctor Fei Zhong.

As soon as the king of Shang saw Fei Zhong's appearance, he already knew what he was talking about, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, so he said: "Fei Aiqing has suffered a lot of grievances, but it can be said that I will definitely make decisions for you." ”

Fei Zhong listened to the words of the king of Shang, and was a little moved in his heart, and even cried bitterly: "King, these days, Weichen has been bullied by Fang Bi and Chaotian in the prison cell, they not only did not let Weichen eat enough, but also beat Weichen all day long. ”

When the king of Shang heard this, he was furious and said: "How can this be reasonable, beating the imperial court officials for no reason, Fang Bi and Chao Tian, can you two be guilty?"

Fang Bi and Chao Tian knelt on the ground, and Fang Bi said: "Back to the king, the two of Weichen did not beat Doctor Fei, the injuries on his body were caused by his sleepwalking at night, and they have nothing to do with the ministers. I think he was beaten by us in his dream and regarded it as a real thing, so he said this, please King Mingjian. ”

The king of Shang hesitated: "There is such a thing? Fei Zhong, you said that the two of them beat you, do you have real evidence?"

"This ......" Fei Zhong was speechless for a moment, and for a while, he didn't know what credentials to find.

At this time, another minister came out and said: "Your lord, Wei Chen lives in the cell next door to Fei Dafu, and Wei Chen can testify that Fei Dafu was not beaten." Fei Zhong was furious when he heard this, and looked at the man, but he was about to scold but took it back, but it was Fang Bi's brother, the doctor Fang Xiang.

King Shang said: "Oh, it's a good thing that you're willing to testify, but after all, you are the brother of Fang Bi, and you can't believe everything you say." Other adults, are you willing to testify for Fei Zhong?"

The Fang and Chao families are notoriously difficult in the court, and naturally no one wants to offend them for Fei Zhong, and the remaining seven ministers are busy saying: "The cell where Wei Chen is waiting is far away, I don't know the details, I don't know the details." ”

King Shang frowned and said, "In this way, except for the brother of the human criminal, there is no one to testify for the sufferer, which is a bit difficult." By the way, prison officer, do you know about this?"

When Fei Zhong heard this, his face suddenly twisted into a bitter melon, and the prison officials in the prison were under the jurisdiction of General Chao Lei, and General Chao Lei was the younger brother of General Chao Tian.

Sure enough, the general Chao Lei came out and said: "Back to the king, the last general has never heard the jailer mention this matter. ”

King Shang said: "Fei Aiqing, since there is no real evidence, you must not bite the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee indiscriminately." When Fei Zhong heard this, he suddenly burst into tears, he was so oppressed by the Fang and Chao families, he really couldn't say it. "But ......" King Shang suddenly changed his words and said, "The three of you are officials in the same dynasty, so naturally you should take care of each other." Fei Zhong lives in the same room with you, but he is injured so badly, even if it is not the two of you, you are not responsible. ”

When Fei Zhong heard this, he was immediately grateful, and bowed and said, "King Shengming, Weichen is unforgettable. ”

King Shang waved his hand and continued: "Fang Bi and Chao Tian, can you two admit punishment?"

When Fang and Chao heard the king of Shang say this, they had to say: "King Shengming, I am willing to accept the punishment." ”

Shang Wang Dayue said: "This is very good. In this way, since Fei Aiqing was so hurt because the two of you failed to take care of her, how about punishing the two of you to invite Fei Aiqing back to her home and bear the cost of her accommodation, food, and medical treatment until Fei Aiqing is in good health?"

Fang and Chao glanced at each other when they heard this, and Fang Bi said sincerely: "In accordance with the king's holy decree, the two of us will invite Dr. Fei back to the house to take care of him in turn, and we will take care of him until he is unharmed, without Dr. Fei spending a penny, if Dr. Fei has been in poor health, I am willing to support him in his old age." ”

Fei Zhong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed: "King, there is no need...... This one...... Wei Chen's health is fine, he can go back to recuperate for two days, and there is no need for Doctor Fang and General Chao to break the bank. ”

King Shang frowned and said, "Fei Aiqing, I have thought of a way to get justice for you, why are you not happy?"

Fei Zhong Zhengse said: "Back to the king, the king's good intentions, Weichen Mingxin is five, but Weichen was taught by the king, and felt that since he was an official in the same dynasty as the two adults, he was like a brother, and some trivial things were really not worth pursuing." The two adults are also ...... these days This, tired and hard, Weichen really can't bear to go to the house to bother, and beg the king to allow me to go back to the house to recuperate. ”

King Shang nodded and said, "Fei Aiqing has a very good understanding, so it's okay, you can step down." ”

So everyone had no more objections and bowed and left.

After bidding farewell to Fei Zhong and the others, King Shang's mood became much better, but he suddenly remembered another person and asked Chao Lei: "Chao Lei, where is You Hun at this time?"

Chao Lei said: "Back to the king, Dr. You is in prison at this time. A few days ago, he was supposed to be sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion for trial, but the Prime Minister agreed to ...... This was not delivered, and has been imprisoned in prison. ”

Thinking of Prime Minister Shang Rong, King Shang had a headache, and waved his hand: "Go and bring You Hun up first, and I will personally try his case." ”

When Chao Lei heard this, he bowed down and turned around to go to the prison Ti Youhun.

A moment later, Chao Lei took You Hun to the main hall. When the crowd looked at him, they saw that he was withered, his eyes were scattered, his clothes were ragged, and it was obvious that his treatment in prison was far inferior to that of the ten adults in front of him.

When You Hun saw the king of Shang, he bowed and said, "You Hun, the criminal minister, has seen the king. ”

The king of Shang said solemnly: "You Hun, are you guilty?"

You Hun said: "Weichen is guilty. ”

The king of Shang said, "Tell me, what crime you have committed?"

You Hun hesitated for a moment, then pondered the words and said, "This...... Weichen was dedicated to the country, and privately withheld the tax at the north gate for account checking...... This one...... The speed of the inventory was too slow, which delayed the treasury revenue, and Weichen was guilty. ”

When the king of Shang heard that he was still talking about the excuse of checking the accounts, he couldn't help frowning. Such corrupt officials should have been expelled from the court, but looking back, the court is full of loyal and upright people, and without this living treasure, it is also a little boring, and it is a little reluctant for a while.

Thinking of this, he spoke: "Since you said to check the accounts, I will believe you once." I wonder if this account can be checked, how much income should there be?"

You Hun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Back to the king, it should be a million dollars from Weichen." ”

King Shang frowned and said, "Since you said that the accounts are wrong, this million dollars is naturally not enough." Have you found out?"

You Hun trembled when he heard this, thought for a while, and said: "Back to the king, Weichen remembered it wrong before, and it should be 1.2 million yuan after the check." ”

Shang Wang patted the case and said: "The difference of 200,000 yuan, with your ability to do it, why do you need to check it for a few months?

When You Hun heard this, he calculated again for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't be angry, the king should be 1.6 million yuan, it is really 1.6 million yuan, it is really nothing." ”

At this time, the king of Shang said with a slightly softened face: "Okay, Doctor Fei is loyal to the country, and has saved the difference of 500,000 yuan for the treasury, and the merits and demerits are offset, so I will send the money to the palace tomorrow." ”

You Hun was already soaked with cold sweat at this time, and when he heard the words of the king of Shang, he breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "Weichen obeys the order, thank you for your longen." ”

Not wanting him to turn around and leave, the king of Shang spoke again: "By the way, there is also the 100,000 yuan of the Zhao family's purchase official, and I will also send it." ”

When You Hun heard this, he knelt on the ground again with a puff and cried: "King, ask the king for forgiveness, Weichen really has no money." ”

The king of Shang ignored him at this time, turned his head to Chao Lei and said: "General Chao, I will go and take Xin Changsheng, the guard officer of the north gate, and send him to Lingnan to fill the army." ”

Chao Lei received the order, but You Hun suddenly lost his voice, and only after a while did he say gloomily: "Weichen obeys the order, and will send 1.7 million yuan to the palace tomorrow." ”

After sending You Hun away, King Shang felt a lot better. So, he was ready to face his biggest headache - Prime Minister Shang Rong.
