Chapter 15: The Sorrowful Girl
The next day, Zhenzong was also absent-minded, thinking about this matter completely, and he didn't know what happened to the girl, so he wanted to call Wang Qinruo to ask about the girl's situation, whether he had found someone to protect her! Unexpectedly, the privy envoy came up and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the minister has finally found the evidence of Sima Hongday's dog thief's greed and perversion of the law, and it is the supreme glory of the minister to be able to remove the tumor for the country!" Even if you are a minister, you will not hesitate to do it! ”
When Zhenzong heard this, he was very surprised: "What evidence! ”
The privy envoy said: "Wei Chen investigated through his own secret line, Sima Hongday's two properties in the capital, found countless stolen money, all kinds of rare treasures are breathtaking, there are three million taels of silver alone, these are Sima Hongday's officials for many years of corruption and perversion of the law, fish and flesh of the people, scraped the people's fat and people's ointment!" ”
Zhenzong said: "Why did you go to search Sima Hongday's private house, who gave you the guts, what did you do to the girl in that house!" ”
The privy envoy suddenly saw Zhenzong's violent thunder, and he didn't know what he said wrongly, and he didn't know if he would continue to say the following words!
Zhenzong realized that he was out of shape, stabilized his emotions, and said: "Do you have definite evidence to prove that this private house and the silver in it are the proceeds of Hongxu's corruption, and you can't arbitrarily put some trumped-up charges on the heroes!" Let the people of the world see that I treat heroes like this, doesn't this block the ambition of the world's talented people to serve the country? ”
Privy Envoy: "If there is no absolutely correct evidence for the ministers, he will definitely not testify against the old general Sima Hongday!" The old general's merits are high, and he doesn't take His Majesty in his eyes for a long time, and he still runs a private party in private, what kind of intention is this, is it obviously to make trouble? The old general also cheated for personal gain, lawlessness, and in his private house, he also kept two mistresses, and this kind of immoral thing was done, and it was even inferior to a beast! For so many years as a minister and an old general, I usually look at him as gentle and elegant, but I didn't expect to do such a dirty thing behind my back, I am ashamed to be a minister in the same hall with him! These two mistresses have a bleak background, saying that they were forced to be concubines by the old thing, and the old thing was a little unsatisfactory, so they whipped these two girls to vent his personal anger, which is simply inferior to beasts! According to the confession of the two girls, Sima Hongday has been an official for many years, and he has been greedy for a lot of gold and silver, all of which are hidden in these two private houses, and he is afraid that one day he will have an incident in the east window, so he is ready to retire early! There are countless amounts of gold and silver found from the two private houses, this is the evidence of Hongday's corruption and bribery! ”
When Zhenzong heard this, he was shocked, completely unexpected, he still cared about the girl in the private mansion, and asked: "You copied the old general's private house and arrested his mistress, why didn't you inform me of such a big matter!" What happened to the girl in the private house! ”
The privy envoy said: "In this kind of thing, when the minister received the news from the informant, he did not dare to delay for a moment, for fear that the news would leak, so that his efforts would be wasted, and he immediately sent someone to seal the two private houses, and a girl in the private house resisted desperately, and said that Hongli is a good person, and you have wronged him, and so on, desperately prevent us from searching the private house." Weichen felt that this little slut was simply too rampant, and when the bitch wanted to set up an archway, he hit her on the head with a stick, and the woman died on the spot! Another woman was so frightened that she went insane and was locked up in a prison for the minister. According to incomplete statistics, there are one million taels of silver found from the two private houses, I didn't expect that there is such a big corrupt official hidden by His Majesty's side, it is really shocking, these silver are evidence of Sima Hongday's corruption and bribery! ”
Zhenzong asked, "That girl was killed by you!" ”
The privy envoy didn't know why Zhenzong always cared about this girl, and said: "A little slut like this will bring disaster to the country and the people, and not killing it is not enough to make the people angry!" ”
Really say, "You! "I can't say anything later, it's just that it may be providence, and I can't go against the sky, maybe this may be the best destination for that girl!
Hearing this, the ministers of the palace discussed: "I didn't expect that Sima Hongday, this old guy, was an improper official, and he was still raising a little mistress outside, which is simply unheard of!" ”
"Of course, it takes a lot of money to raise a mistress, so he keeps making money!"
"I really didn't expect it, for so many years, that old thing has been greedy for so much money, and he didn't even see it, it's really hidden!"
Therefore, all the ministers hated the same enemy, saying that this kind of big insect stationed in the country, not killing it is not enough to be angry with the people! They all demanded that Sima Hongday be re-governed, raid their house, and punish their nine clans!
Zhenzong is very sad, he never believes that the old general Hongyang will do this kind of thing, he wants to defend him, and also say some sympathetic words for the girl who is bleak in her life. But in the face of a lot of public opinion in the court, as the emperor, he has no power to return to the sky! Knowing that Sima Hongday was framed, the girl was wronged, and she couldn't do anything for them, so she could only do things according to the requirements of the ministers and punish Sima Hongday, so she had to say: "Sima Hongday handed it over to the Privy Council, handle it according to law, you must carefully investigate the evidence, and don't let go of any clues!" We must not let the old general Sima Hongday be covered with this injustice! ”
The privy envoy was instructed to go down and do his thing! All the ministers in the court are scattered!
At this time, Zhenzong gave Wang Qinruo a look, motioned for him to stay, and when everyone was gone, he walked very close to Zhenzong, and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong!" ”
"What happened to the girl I wanted you to protect!" Shinshu asked.
"As a minister, just go back and send someone to the house to garrison, I didn't think that people just arrived at the house, I saw a sea of fire inside, a group of officers and soldiers in the house wantonly searched, the people in the house were shocked and fled everywhere, the things collected were piled up in the yard, as high as a mountain, the girl desperately fought with those officers and soldiers, but I didn't expect to be hit in the head with a wooden stick by an officer and soldier on the spot, and she was killed on the spot. The other girl was taken away by those officers and soldiers! My people used to ask those officers and soldiers who they were, and they said that they were from the Privy Council, but it was actually the Privy Council that did things, and our people were not good! I can only watch the silver taels that were copied out being taken away by them, and the girl being escorted away by them! Wang Qinruo replied.
"Didn't I tell you? Do you want to protect that girl? Zhenzong said bitterly: "That's it, it's not your fault, maybe that girl's life should be like this!" Help me find out if the girl we took away was the one we saw last time, I want to see her! ”
"Is this appropriate? Your Majesty," Wang Qinruo said.
"If I want you to do it, I'll do it! Don't talk nonsense! "Zhenzong was angry.
Wang Qinruo had no choice but to do this!
Wang Qinruo found out the prison where the girl was imprisoned, Zhenzong disguised himself as a civilian, and followed Wang Qinruo to the door of the prison where the girl was imprisoned, Wang Qinruo opened all the jailers and let Zhenzong see the girl alone, and when Zhenzong saw the girl, he found that she was wearing rough linen clothes, curled up in the dark in the corner, covered with wounds, there were two deep whip marks on her face, blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth, and her clothes all over her body had traces of being beaten, which looked really terrifying! The breath is very weak, and the sound of breathing is gone!
