When Xiao Mo followed Xiao Shenyan and Xiao Yi and left Changzhi City in a very ordinary carriage, Xiao Shenxing, who stayed in Changzhi City, was still busy. 1 Novel αC finishing

With Xiao Mo's departure, Xiao Shenxing finally had no worries, and from the evening to the early morning of the next day, he was always preparing a retreat for the Xiao family.

dealing with the transfer of the property in this case; expelled the distant relatives who had taken refuge from the Xiao family's compound and rearranged their residences; Xiao Jia'an and Xiao Jiaju's separation is suitable; Let some people leave Changzhi City for a while as much as possible; Try to get rid of the relationship between the various side branches and the Xiao family......

After Xiao Mo left home, Liu fainted because of excessive sadness, although it was fine, but it also needed a period of recuperation.

By the time all was over, the sky was already bright, and the morning was approaching.

Xiao Shenxing sighed and began to wash and change clothes.

Because Xiao Shenxing knows that the day when Sikong Min arrives is today.

Rejecting the action of pouring warm water into his washbasin for his subordinates, Xiao Shenxing carefully wiped his wrinkled face with cold water for a long time, and his drowsy head became much clearer.

When people are old, their energy will inevitably decline, and after a busy night, their spirits are a little sluggish, but thinking that they will have to deal with it in front of Sikong Min soon, Xiao Shenxing has to be energetic.

Sure enough, shortly after Xiao Shenxing's washing, someone from the yamen came and informed Xiao Shenxing to gather outside the south city gate and greet the patrol envoy Sikong Min with all the gentry officials in Changzhi City.

After Xiao Shenxing came to the south city gate, most of the people had already arrived, and after exchanging politeness with familiar people, Xiao Shenxing hid his figure among the gentry, judging from his expression, he couldn't see what he was thinking at the moment.

Sun Rang, the Taishou of Changzhi City, is the doorman of Zhang Qian, the prime minister of the dynasty, so he is not as expected for Sikong Min's arrival as the state pastor Zhao Muxian, but after all, Sikong Min is an inspector, and his official position is four levels higher than him, and he is a senior in the literary world, so he must also be a good look, and he came here early, but he was full of strictness and rarely talked to others.

Fortunately, Sikong Min did not let Sun Rang wait for three full days like Zhao Muxian, as time went by, before noon, just when Sun Rang's face began to show impatience, under the escort of dozens of silver-armored knights and more than 100 Huanzhou sergeants, accompanied by Zhao Muxian, the state pastor, Sikong Min's car finally arrived.

Because of Zhao Muxian's accompaniment, Sun Rang didn't dare to be rude, and together with Zhao Muxian, he respectfully helped Sikong Min out of the car, and then he didn't mention countless words of admiration.

Then, accompanied by Sun Rang and Zhao Muxian, Sikong Min began to meet with a group of officials and gentry in Changzhi City.

In Xiao Shenxing's view, judging from his temperament alone, Sikong Min is really very elegant, elegant, wise, peaceful, and atmospheric, which can not only make others feel good and close to him, but also make people can't help but be impressed.

But Xiao Shenxing thought of Sikong Min's calculations against the Xiao family before, and then saw Sikong Min's demeanor at this moment, he was not as impressed as others did, but felt the soul of a hypocritical and ruthless politician.

When Sun Rang introduced Xiao Shenxing to Sikong Min, Sikong Min's face did not change at all, as peaceful and elegant as ever, not only cordially inquired about Xiao Shenxing's situation at home, praised Xiao Shenxing for his good governance, but also constantly mentioned Xiao Shenyan, saying that he was talented, which aroused the jealousy and envy of other gentry.

Looking at the seemingly harmless literary everyone in front of him, for a time, Xiao Shenxing wondered if all the Yi Qiē was that the Xiao family was too sensitive and suspicious, and this Sikong Min had no intention of targeting the Xiao family at all.

And this suspicion lasted until Sun Rang introduced Yang Shoucheng to Sikong Min, and finally broke it completely.

I saw that when Sikong Min had just walked in front of Yang Shoucheng, Yang Shoucheng suddenly said loudly: "Your Excellency, I have an important case and I need you to administer justice." ”

Sikong Min seemed quite surprised and asked, "What case?" ”

Then I saw Yang Shoucheng as if he was acting, pointed at Xiao Shenxing and said loudly: "The Xiao family is harboring anti-thieves!" I and that Xiao Shenxing was originally a brother-in-law, a few days ago to his house as a guest, by the way brought some distant relatives sent special vegetables as gifts to send to the Xiao family, but just when my subordinates sent those special vegetables to the Xiao family's cellar, but now there is a person hidden in the Xiao family's cellar, from that person's mouth, he is Li San, who rebelled a few days ago, and the Xiao family has long been in contact, and defected to the Xiao family after the rebellion failed, but these days I faintly feel that the Xiao family wants to kill him. So I secretly told my subordinates about the news...... Now the Xiao family may have killed Li San, destroyed his body, and destroyed his body, but I still have evidence, which is Li San's blood book...... Although we are relatives, I have to be more loyal to the imperial court......"

In Yang Shoucheng's impassioned foaming mouth, the people next to him subconsciously distanced themselves from Xiao Shenxing.

As for Xiao Shenxing, except for being slightly surprised after hearing that the true identity of the corpse turned out to be Li San, he was extremely calm from beginning to end at the rest of the time, looking at Yang Shoucheng in the speech like watching a play, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "This trick is not new......

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

After that, things naturally came naturally, under Yang Shoucheng's accusations, everyone in the Xiao family was arrested, and then in the collection, a lot of evidence against the Xiao family suddenly appeared, which made the Xiao family speechless.

At the beginning, Xiao Shenxing also refuted all kinds of evidence one by one, but later, as the so-called "evidence" became more and more practical, Xiao Shenxing finally pleaded guilty, but he took all the charges by himself.

However, it makes no difference whether he participates in the rebellion alone or the whole family, and the result is the same.

It's just that although Sikong Min's goal has been achieved, he is not in a good mood.

"What? You haven't found Xiao Shenyan yet? It must be found, at any cost!! ”

Ten days later, in the Taishou Mansion, Sikong Min ordered his subordinates and the Yamen catchers of Changzhi City, his expression no longer had his usual elegance, but was a little hideous.

If he couldn't find Xiao Shenyan, it would be useless for him to frame the Xiao family. But in the DPRK, Zhang Qian has begun to gradually regain his disadvantage, if he fails to solve the matter before Zhang Qian notices the matter here, what awaits him will be another demotion and loss of power.

And because Xiao Shenxing had never told the other clansmen about the crisis of the Xiao family beforehand, although Sikong Min sent people to torture him, he couldn't find the whereabouts of Xiao Shenyan and Xiao Mo at all.

And next to the room where Sikong Min was, Zhang Yansheng and Mr. Wen, accompanied by Taishou Sun Rang, drank tea and chatted, looking very leisurely.

"Mr. Wen, the goal has been achieved, have we made some moves?"

Listening to Sikong Min's angry rebuke faintly coming from the room next to him, Zhang Yansheng asked with a chuckle.

"No hurry, no hurry." Mr. Wen savored the best Tieguanyin in his hand, and said lightly: "The matter is not big enough, at least let Sikong Min force a few people to death before it will be our turn to play, because only in this way can Sikong Min have no power to turn over." ”

Hearing Mr. Wen's words, Zhang Yansheng's face changed slightly, and then he returned to normal and continued to bow his head and taste tea.

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

This year, the Chu Dynasty, which had been quiet for a long time, had a lot of things.

In June, Hejian Province suffered from drought for many years, and the "Li San Rebellion" broke out, which was the first peasant rebellion in the Chu Dynasty for ten years.

In August, the "Li San Rebellion" subsided, but the thief leader Li San was nowhere to be found. At the same time, the calligrapher Sikong Min rose up again and served as an inspector to inspect Huanzhou.

In September, during Sikong Min's inspection of Changzhi City, the local gentry Yang Shoucheng reported that the Xiao family, a big family in the area, harbored the thief Li San, and then more than 230 people of the Xiao family were all arrested within 15 days, and only Xiao Shenyan and Xiao Mo, who had just been removed from the Xiao family, were nowhere to be found.

In October, Li San, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly surrendered and told the official uniform that Sikong Min coerced him to frame the Xiao family, while he used another person's corpse to break out of his shell. At the same time, Yang Shoucheng also reported the case to the official service, saying that the reason why he reported the Xiao family before was because he was coerced by Sikong Min. In just ten days, the government and the opposition heard about this matter, and the heavens were greatly shaken.

In November, the emperor sent someone to review the case of the Xiao family, the facts were obvious, the Xiao family regained innocence, and at the same time, Sikong Min's reputation was lost, and he was reinstated as an official for less than three months, and was once again belittled by the emperor, and there was no chance to return to the core of the court.

At the same time, Zhang Yansheng, the grandson of Prime Minister Zhang Qian, passed by Changzhi City when he traveled the world, and accidentally felt Sikong Min's conspiracy, and was not afraid of Sikong Min's rape and insidiousness, and ran out for the innocence of the Xiao family to support justice.

However, while everyone in the world is spitting on Sikong Min and praising Zhang Yansheng, few people will notice that the innocent Xiao family because of this catastrophe, the head of the family, Xiao Shenxing, was paralyzed by torture, and the next head of the family, Xiao Jiasheng, died in prison, and other side clansmen and servant housekeepers died a total of seven people before and after the severe punishment.

On the contrary, it was Liu, because of the sadness that Xiao Mo left home, although he was sick, he also escaped the torture of Sikong Min.

In the eyes of some well-intentioned people, what is strange is that Xiao Shenxing and Xiao Mo, who fled beforehand, still did not appear until Xiao Jiahui was innocent, as if they had disappeared in the world.

P: Well, the first volume is finally finished.

When writing the book "Rebel Minister", Worm hesitated countless times whether to write the first volume, because the content of this volume is very bland, the plot is a little depressing, and it is really difficult to attract readers.

But later, Bug finally wrote this volume, after all, Bug wanted to write about an ordinary person, not a genius born with thick black invincible intelligence, so the initial change of mentality was important.

Please also continue to pay attention to the second volume of "Rebel Minister" - "Beginning in the Void".
