The officials in the lobby followed Su Bolang's line of sight, and saw a middle-aged man with a two-puff mustache standing in front of the lobby with a cramped expression, and two officers of the Criminal Department standing behind him.

It is necessary to read the Internet when chasing books

This middle-aged man with a mustache was one of the people sent by Su Bolang to ask Zhu Yongqing to send a question, and he arrived not long ago, and was waiting outside the door because there was a discussion in the hall.

"Villain Yang An, knock to see the prince." Then, in the eyes of everyone, the middle-aged man with a mustache walked into the lobby nervously, and honestly knelt down in front of the hall to salute Zhu Yongqing.

Zhu Yongqing glanced at Yang An, raised his head and looked at Su Bolang suspiciously, could this person have something to do with Zhang Wang's killing.

"Yang An, do you know what the people of Benshan called you to come?" Su Bolang walked up to Yang An and asked quietly.

"The villain doesn't know, please make it clear." It was the first time for Yang An to see so many high-ranking officials and magnates, and his spirit was highly tense, coupled with the hot weather, which made him sweat profusely, and he reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead and squeezed out a smile at Su Bolang.

"The people of Benshan asked you, who did you see in a restaurant in the west of the city a few days ago?" Su Bolang looked at Yang An with a torch in his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"I didn't ...... The villain didn't go to the restaurant in the west of the city. Yang An's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he stammered and replied.

"The people of Benshan asked you, what was the reason why your clothes were wet at that time?" Seeing that Yang An didn't admit it, Su Bolang smiled slightly and asked in a loud voice.

"You...... How do you know? Yang An was stunned in an instant, looking at Su Bolang in disbelief.

"The people of Benshan not only know that you knocked over the wine jug and wet your clothes, but also know that you have made a sum of money." Su Bolang shook off the dust with an elegant movement, and said lightly, "You were also a scholar, you should know the truth of 'the sea of bitterness is boundless, and turning back is the shore', why bother to be obsessed in front of the prince and all the adults?" ”

The bitter sea is boundless, turning back is the shore, from Zhu Xi's "Zhu Zi Analects" volume 59, persuading people to change their lives to goodness, the Ming Dynasty has respected Zhu Zi's science since Hongwu, and everyone who reads this sentence knows it.

After listening to the conversation between Su Bolang and Yang An, all the officials, including Zhu Yongqing, looked at the two of them suspiciously, not knowing what this Yang An had done.

"Wang ...... Lord, the villain is willing to recruit, the villain is all recruited, please be gracious. Yang An's face was cloudy for a while, and then he kowtowed to Zhu Yongqing with a frightened look.

"This king asks you, 'What have you done?' Zhu Yongqing was also curious in his heart, and asked quietly.

"Villain...... The villain should not have bought off those outsiders who smashed Wu Hanlin's home and injured his family. Yang An raised his head, raised his hand and slapped himself twice, and said with a frightened face, "However, the villain was also forced to be helpless, it was my master who asked the villain to do this, and if the villain didn't do it, he would be punished." ”

Hearing this, there was a commotion in the lobby immediately, and everyone was originally related to Yang An and Zhang Wang, who would have thought that Wu Shaoqing's house was smashed.

Wu Shaoqing's eyes were full of surprise, and he looked at Yang An in a daze, he finally understood what Su Bolang said earlier to clarify, it turned out that he had found out the murderer behind the trouble in his house.

Fan Bin, Feng Changan and the others had strange looks on their faces, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, they knew very well that those who smashed the Wu family were the subordinates brought by Zhu Zhanyu from Le'an Prefecture, and they left the capital afterwards, this Yang An didn't know where to come from, and he was talking nonsense here.

"Sue the king, who is your master?" Zhu Yongqing was also taken aback, and then there was a burst of joy in his heart, and he asked in a deep voice.

Now that the truth about Zhang Wang's matter has been revealed, if the Wu family is smashed again, then the storm in the capital that endangers the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty will disappear invisibly.

"Lord Yu, the lord of the villain is Lord Feng Shun Feng of the Left Temple of Dali Temple, and the villain is the housekeeper of the Feng family." Hearing this, all the officials in the hall looked at Yang An in unison, all wondering who the master in his mouth was, Yang An reached out again to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly replied.

"How could it be Feng Sicheng? He and Wu Hanlin are Jinshi in the same department! ”

"I remember, Wu Hanlin once impeached Feng Sicheng in the Yongle Year."

"That's right, if it wasn't for Wu Hanlin's impeachment back then, Feng Sicheng would now be the right capital of the Imperial Palace."

"I see!"

……

With Yang An's words, there was a commotion in the lobby, and people were talking about this matter in private, looking very surprised.

Feng Shun and Wu Shaoqing are Jinshi in the same subject, and their palace examination results are in the forefront of the second palace examination, although the relationship between them is not very close, but because of the friendship of the same subject, they are also relatively close friends.

In the fifteenth year of Yongle, Feng Shun, who had served as the superintendent of the Imperial History of the Imperial Inspectorate, encountered an opportunity in his career, and the Yongle Emperor was ready to promote him from the position of the Left Temple of Dali Temple to the Imperial History of the Right Imperial Inspectorate.

In terms of official rank, the left temple of Dali Temple is the official rank of the fifth grade, and the right of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court is the official rank of the fourth grade, which can be said to be a big step forward.

In terms of position, Dali Temple is only in charge of the trial of prison cases, while the Metropolitan Procuratorate can not only try cases, but also have the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, and its power is not the same.

If Feng Shun can be successfully promoted, then he can be said to have achieved a qualitative leap in his career, laying a solid foundation for entering the Sanpin in the future and becoming an official of various ministries and academies.

But who would have thought that Wu Shaoqing actually participated in Feng Shun's book during the court discussion, saying that a case he supervised when he was in Dali Temple had omissions, and the case became an unjust case, and took out a copy of the case file as evidence.

The officials present at the time were surprised how Wu Shaoqing could have evidence of that case, after all, Wu Shaoqing was only a Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, and he was not from Dali Temple, so he could not access the case file.

Later, everyone learned that someone had written an anonymous letter to Wu Shaoqing not long ago, reporting and exposing Feng Shun's omissions in that case, and attaching a copied case file.

Therefore, Wu Shaoqing stood up to impeach Feng Shun during the court discussion, and Emperor Yongle asked people to review it afterwards, and sure enough, the reported matter was true, Feng Shun deliberately ignored several important evidence of crime in order to close the case smoothly, and his behavior was already dereliction of duty.

In this way, Feng Shun's promotion was naturally in vain, and he was also reprimanded by Emperor Yongle, fortunately he did not have favoritism and bribery in the case, so Emperor Yongle did not hold him accountable for his previous contributions, only fined him for one year, and still remained in the left temple of Dali Temple.

In the face of Feng Shun's encounter, the officials in the court felt sorry for it, it was obvious that he was plotted by others, which was also an important reason for Emperor Yongle's leniency towards Feng Shun: although Feng Shun was really guilty of dereliction of duty, this kind of hidden arrow hurting people also really disgusted Emperor Yongle.

Looking at the court, I am afraid that only the arrogant and upright Wu Shaoqing will be used as a gun by those who have a heart, and he will come forward to impeach Feng Shun so unreasonably.

Feng Shunjing's vitality was greatly injured by this incident, not only did he fail to be promoted to the imperial history of the right capital, but also became a joke in the eyes of people, not only hating the person who plotted against him, but also hating the ruthless Wu Shaoqing even more, and he ruined his good deeds regardless of the friendship of the same department.

Therefore, Feng Shun and Wu Shaoqing became enemies, and they played some small tricks to deal with Wu Shaoqing in private, and it is rumored that the officials of Lu Micang accepted Feng Shun's benefits, so they intensified their efforts to rectify Wu Shaoqing when they paid salaries.

Generally speaking, this kind of anti-purpose hatred between friends is usually stronger, and in the eyes of the officials in the lobby, it is logical to take advantage of Feng Shun's resentment towards Wu Shaoqing to send people to smash the Wu family.

Fan Bin and the others finally understood Su Bolang's intentions now, and couldn't help but look at each other, they didn't expect that he would use the strategy of "moving the trouble to Jiangdong" to find Yang An to frame Feng Shun and let Feng Shun be a substitute for the dead ghost, so as to end the Wu family being smashed.

"Chuan Dali Temple, Zuo Temple, Cheng Feng Shun." Just when everyone was talking about this matter in a low voice, Zhu Yongqing shouted at the errand standing outside the hall, looking for Feng Shun to come and confront him.

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a five-grade official robe and a thin figure walked into the lobby with an expressionless face, he was Feng Shun of the Left Temple of Dali Temple, who was in the courtyard just now, and heard Yang An's words clearly.

"Lord Wang, this villain framed the lower officials, and the lower officials never let anyone do anything against Wu Hanlin, please check the lord!" After coldly glancing at Yang An, who was kneeling there, Feng Shun bowed down and said to Zhu Yongqing in a loud voice.

Originally, Feng Shun was watching the excitement in the crowd, but he was suspicious when he saw Yang An being brought, and then he was inexplicably involved in the Wu family's affairs, and he was extremely shocked in his heart, and immediately realized that he was killed by Yang An, he didn't know why Yang An did this, and he was not thin on Yang An on weekdays.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials feel that this person may have a personal grudge against Lord Feng, so he framed Lord Feng." At this time, Qin Yongxiang was the first to react, and said to Zhu Yongqing in a deep voice.

Now that they have lost in the matter of Zhang Wang, then they must link Su Bolang with the affairs of the Wu family in order to arouse the hatred of those Qingliu in the imperial court, otherwise they will be defeated.

"Master Feng, have you ever punished this person so that he holds a grudge and frames you." Then Fan Bin's eyes rolled slightly, and he said to Feng Shun.

"Lord Wang, this villain secretly had an affair with the concubine of the lower official, and the junior official is investigating the matter, and he must have noticed it, so he framed the official." Fan Bin woke up the person in the dream with a word, Feng Shun reacted quickly, now is the time of his life and death, so he didn't have time to think about it, and casually found a reason to get out.

"Lord Wang, the villain is wronged." Yang An was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed to Zhu Yongqing, then looked up at Feng Shun who was standing aside, and said with a look of grievance, "Master, you can't wronged the villain, the villain serves you conscientiously, and there is no merit and hard work." ”

"Hmph, you wicked man who betrays the Lord and seeks glory, who has instructed you, and how much benefit have you received?" Feng Shun couldn't wait to kick Yang An to the ground, and then beat him violently, he never imagined that Yang An would treat him like this anyway, and said through gritted teeth.

"Master, the villain is loyal to you, and now you can't push it all on the villain's head if something happens, the villain can't afford it." When Yang An heard this, he immediately shouted injustice, and said with a frightened face, "Master, you asked the villain to buy the silver tickets of those people who smashed Wu Hanlin's house, and the villain gave a hundred taels of silver tickets, which was hidden in a book in the villain's bedroom, if you didn't let the villain do this, the villain would not dare to attack Wu Hanlin's family even if he had the courage to do it." ”

"You ......" Feng Shun saw that Yang An was clearly going to frame him, he couldn't help but tremble with anger, stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang An speechless, although he knew that he hadn't done this, but if Yang An insisted that he was the mastermind, he didn't have a good way to excuse himself.
