Chapter 355: Secret News
"It's time to eat!"
Zheng Xiaobu knocked the rice spoon on the edge of the bucket a few times, and when he saw that he had arrived in front of Yang Fan's cell, he hung the rice spoon on the bucket and picked up a food box. Zhang Lilei opened the cell door with a straight face, and as soon as Zheng Xiaobu walked in, Zhang Lilei stood in front of the door intentionally or unintentionally.
The food sent by the Yang family was very exquisite, and the cook of the Yang family was worried that Ah Lang would not eat well, so he painstakingly prepared a few delicious dishes, but according to the custom, the most delicious dishes were intercepted by the deacons.
Zhang Lilei was at the door intentionally or unintentionally, and the two saber guards stood at the door and chatted, without any intention of going in. Since the deacon's court was broken into by gangsters, killed 15 people in a row, and fled, Wu Zetian was furious and transferred the officers and soldiers of Fengchenwei to strengthen the defense of the deacon's house.
This is to deal with the key criminals who plot rebellion, and it is the law enforcement yamen of the imperial court that is protected, and the use of arms is justified. Now this deacon's house has three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the defense is very tight, and the deacons are a little lax, and under such strict guard, they will not let anyone escape, and they will be lazy.
Yang Fan was lying on the ground resting, as soon as the door rang, he stood up, pulled the chain and made a "stunned" sound, as soon as the door opened, the light came in, Yang Fan squinted his eyes slightly.
Locked up in this dark place all day, his expression couldn't help but be a little sluggish. An inch-long beard grew on his lips and under his chin, and his hair was unkempt, like a caged beast.
Zheng Xiaobu put down the food box, Yang Fan glanced at him, slowly stepped forward, and bent down to get the food box. Zheng Xiaobu turned his head and glanced out quickly. Suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "General Yang Lang, there are three pieces of evidence for your crimes, one of which is that Zhu Bin reported that you conspired with him, and you want to cooperate with the outside world on the night of the mutiny, open the palace gate, and control the emperor's bedroom!" ”
Yang Fan was stunned. Bent down and slowly straightened up, staring at Zheng Xiaobu, with a strange light in his eyes.
Zheng Xiaopreach said: "Lang will be guilty of the second evidence. Si Liqing Pei Xuanli confessed that he was responsible for contacting and allowing you to accept the heavy gift from Li Youdao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. and accepted a promise: after the deed is completed, you will be crowned a general. The third evidence of Lang Jiang's crime is that he suddenly became rich, and the source of a huge amount of property is not clear! Yang Langjiang, what is your explanation for this? ”
If these words were asked by Junchen in the court, it would be the most appropriate, but now it was asked by Zheng Xiaobu. This Zheng Xiaobu is just a cook with a big waist and a round waist, with an oil-stained blue cloth apron tied around his waist, and a cloth on his head that can no longer see the background color, but his oily fat face is extremely serious and solemn, like an official who has been promoted to the court to ask about the case. {} It's a ridiculous situation.
Yang Fan vaguely understood something, and he replied in a deep voice: "After Yang Fan entered the palace, he worked as a big horned hand under Zhu Bin for some time, but they had no personal relationship with each other, not only did they not have a personal relationship. On the contrary, there is also mustard. Yang had been ostracized by Zhu Bin, and the two personal soldiers around Zhu Bin were clear about this matter. ”
Zheng Xiaobu frowned and asked, "When did this happen?" ”
Yang Fan thought about it for a moment and said, "About the winter of the previous year, I remember that not two days after this incident, Yang was transferred to Wucheng Hall as a guard. If you check the resume record of Yang in Jin Wuwei, you can know the detailed time! ”
Zheng Xiaobu nodded, and asked again: "How do you explain Pei Xuanli's matter?" ”
Yang Fan said: "Yang has no way to explain this matter. Yang Fan has never heard of the official of the Ministry of Rites you are talking about. Since he is an official of the Ministry of Rites, he often goes in and out of the palace, so Yang has probably seen him, or has several relationships with him, but he can't remember who he is from this name. If it is said that Yang has colluded with this person, it is really ridiculous. However, he has one side, but I have no circumstantial evidence! ”…,
Zheng Xiaobu said again: "Okay! So, who gave away your sixteen shops in Wangshi? ”
When Yang Fan heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate.
In fact, he only vaguely guessed Zheng Xiaobu's intention now, the above two questions, even if Zheng Xiaobu is a fraudulent confession, he will answer like this, even if he comes to Junchen's promotion to the court for trial, his answer is still the same, there is nothing to tell, so he can answer frankly.
But this third question is not. Because he and Shen Mu did have a plan, although he did not participate in the mutiny of the prime ministers, but in the long run, what he and Shen Mu planned was exactly the same as what the prime ministers did, all of which were to restore Li Tang Jiangshan, but one was to fight steadily and steadily, and the other was to act urgently.
If this Zheng Xiaobu is here to defraud the confession, once it is asked that the gift giver is Zhao Yu, someone will definitely investigate. Yang Fan's disciple is a member of the Hidden Sect, and after his accident, Zhao Yu is afraid that he has already made preparations, and this investigation is afraid that it will be in vain. If they really find out something, these prison masters in the court are not a group of waste, and I am afraid that a big problem will be found.
No matter how secretive Shen Mu is, such a huge liliang, such a huge flow of wealth, unless people don't pay attention, once they notice you and have the heart to investigate, how can it be leaky? At that time, this crime was cleared, but another crime was added, and the result would not be better than now, and now it can be determined that it is a false accusation, and then there will really be no way to refute it.
If Zheng Xiaobu was sent by the person he thought, telling her this secret would probably be useless. Now that he has gone to look for it, he can't find Shen Mu anymore, and it is impossible to even find their contact point in Luoyang. Even if they were found, they would still not be able to give the court a convincing reason.
Why did Shen Mu give him such a huge fortune? He Yang Fan is just a general, a military general in the army, not a local official in Luoyang, even if Shen Mu, a "big businessman", wants to find a backer and seek convenience in business, it is absolutely impossible to find him...... Isn't it self-defeating?
Seeing that he hesitated, Zheng Xiaobu smiled and said, "General Yang Lang, you can believe me, this is a token that the man asked me to show you!" ”
Zheng Xiaobu said, turned his head to look at it again, and carefully took out something from his arms and held it in his palm.
Grasshoppers?
Yang Fan glanced at it, first stunned, and then remembered the origin of this grasshopper. He had almost forgotten about this matter, but he didn't expect that when Wan'er didn't return for a long time in Longmen, this grasshopper made of wild grass had been preserved by Wan'er to this day, and Yang Fan's heart couldn't help but stir.
Zheng Xiaobu flipped his wrist, put away the grasshopper, and said, "Can General Lang say it now?" ”
Yang Fan already believed that he was the one who was bought by Wan'er, but how could he say this to Wan'er? Even if he put it together, it still won't help, and it is impossible for Shen Mu to stand up and admit it, otherwise the whole incident will be revealed, and he will still have to be finished, and he will have to drag a large group of people to tie up.
Zheng Xiaobu hurriedly said: "Time is pressing, Yang Langjiang, you can't delay!" ”
Yang Fan said: "The reason for this is really hard to explain. The person who gave me the shop...... He was a wealthy merchant in the Western Regions. I really can't mention his identity, and the reason why he gave me property ......, alas! In short, this really has nothing to do with rebellion. ”
Yang Fan was hesitant, and he really didn't know how to explain it, Zheng Xiaobu said hesitantly, "That person said to me, no matter who it is, if you give you a generous gift, you must ask for it." You are a military general in the army, not a magistrate, no matter who asks for you, it will be difficult to publicize what you want, so people have long expected that you will be difficult to speak! ”…,
Yang Fan looked at Zheng Xiaobu in surprise, Wan'er is smart and erudite, but her talent is not reflected in these aspects, this woman who grew up in the deep palace since she was a child actually "anticipated the enemy first", and even his reaction had already guessed?
Zheng Xiaopu said: "The man confessed, if it is inconvenient for you to say it, then don't say it." Only, when you are put on trial, you must answer what I have taught you anyway. ”
Yang Fan hurriedly said: "Please speak!" ”
Zheng Xiaopu said: "If you are interrogated in court and ask about the origin of this store, you just have to bite it because you are a gift from a nobleman, if people ask about the identity of this person's name, surname, and identity, you will not tell the truth!" ”
Yang Fan bowed his head and said: "Yang remembers!" ”
Zheng Xiaobu hurriedly said: "Don't bite this sentence, otherwise you won't be able to save you!" ”
Zheng Xiaobu walked out quickly, and a deacon asked lazily: "You kid, why are you rubbing for half a day?" ”
Zheng Xiaobu pressed his belt with his hand and said, "I happened to be in a little anxious, so I solved it in the corner by the way!" ”

"Executed in seven days!"
When Xiaoman heard the news, the whole person was completely crushed. She only wanted to see Yang Fan now, and before he was executed, Zaijian's own husband. However, even this has become a luxury. There was no reason for her to enter the palace again, and she was not allowed to visit the prison in the deacon's house. Perhaps, ......, she can only wait until the moment of execution and look at her husband Zuihou on the court again?
The day after hearing the news, Xiaoman stayed awake all night, and it was not until the early morning of the next day that she suddenly remembered someone. She thought of Mrs. Wang, the wife of Lai Junchen, of course, it was impossible for Mrs. Wang to influence the trial of the case of the Yushitai, but as the wife of the chief of the main hall of the Yushitai, she asked her to make it convenient and take herself to see her husband, this thing can always be done, right?
Xiaoman rushed to Bogu Zhai on the same day, and asked the shopkeeper to come to the house to inform him, saying that there were a few very rare antiques in the store, and asked his wife to come to the store to have a look. Xiaoman waited in the store for a day, and Mrs. Wang did not come. As soon as Nanshi opened the next day, Xiaoman rushed to the store to guard, and about half an hour later, Mrs. Wang finally came.
Mrs. Wang walked slowly into Bogu Zhai with two maids, and as soon as she entered, a man came out of the side and put a sign at the door, with two big characters written on it: "Closed!" ”
Mrs. Wang bypassed the "Xiao Wall" and said with a smile: "Lady of the Yang family, what rare antiques have you bought in your store?" Hey? Yang family lady, you ...... What are you doing here? ”
Xiaoman had already sent someone to wait for her outside, before Mrs. Wang arrived at the door, Xiaoman had already let the shopkeeper and the guys in the store avoid it, as soon as Mrs. Wang bypassed the "Xiao Wall", Xiaoman bowed down and said sadly: "Mrs. Wang, Xiaoman has something to ask for, and Mrs. Wanwang will be fulfilled!" ”
