Chapter 159: The thief shouts to catch the thief
Wang Mang also knew that in the face of that situation at that time, not to mention Hua Mingyue and Sister Hua, even if he Wang Mang, he would definitely spit out everything he had to say, and there was no need to put his life on the line for others.
But understanding is understanding, things happened to his head, Wang Mang can't be pretended not to have happened, the clay man also has three points of anger, if he doesn't have any anger, wouldn't it be too weak.
A big battle broke out in Xinyang City, the street was obviously a lot colder, and everyone in Xinyang Ling Lu Yuan's mansion also lived in seclusion, and after a night, Wang Mang sat in his room refreshed, his eyes closed, and his consciousness instantly became one with the doll in Chang'an.
In the imperial study, hundreds of officials stand in civil and military affairs.
Deng Fang glanced at Wang Mang, who was sitting on the dragon chair with an expressionless face, and sang loudly: "Start the early dynasty, start playing something, and retreat from the dynasty without anything!"
Li Si, the secretary of the Criminal Department, came out of class and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the place of the Criminal Department is eight hundred miles away, a tragic and inhumane case occurred in Xinyang County, and the bodies of more than 30 people were found in the Wolf Cave Mountain near Xinyang City, this is the worst case that has occurred in the imperial court in recent years, please order a thorough investigation!"
As soon as Li Si's voice fell, there was a buzz in the entire court, after all, not everyone is well-informed, many people heard the news for the first time, and they were shocked at that time, more than 30 people died at one time, this is a super big case.
There are also well-informed people who sneered and didn't care, they already knew about it, and they also knew who died, a group of bandits, if they died, they died, what was there to investigate.
But there are also those who want to take advantage of this to make a living, such as Wei Changhong, the envoy of Chang'an River, who sneered and stood up and said: "Li Shangshu, your news is outdated." ”
Wei Changhong was originally the river envoy of the capital, and now he is the river envoy of Chang'an, the head of the river of the world, and the name of the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, but it is not actually under the management of the Ministry of Industry.
As soon as Wei Changhong spoke, all the officials turned their heads sideways, because everyone knew that Wei Changhong's river yamen and the six departments were not the same road, and Wei Changhong never spoke in the court.
Li Si's expression was cold, and he glared at Wei Changhong and said, "I don't know what Lord Wei has to say?"
"I can't talk about seeing the teaching, but as far as this official knows, there is more than this appalling thing that has happened in Xinyang County. Wei Changhong said coldly: "Yesterday, there was a big battle in Xinyang City, Xinyang ordered Lu Yuan to lead people to besiege the famous local gentry Yan Hao's family in Xinyang, Yan Hao rose up to resist, and actually directly repelled Xinyang Ling, at this time, someone came forward, relieved the siege for Xinyang Ling, and killed Yan Hao's family, this battle, the people of Xinyang were killed and injured countless times, in addition, this matter has nothing to do with the matter of the Wolf Cave Mountain, it can be said to be a case. ”
Wei Changhong's voice fell, and the court was full of voices, if it weren't for the fact that this place was an important place for the imperial court, I am afraid that the officials would be completely agitated.
Wang Mang glanced at Wei Changhong with a cold expression, raised his eyes and gestured to Deng Fang, who immediately shouted: "Silence!"
As soon as Deng Fang's voice fell, the voices of the hundred officials were much quieter, but there were still some conscious bulls who continued to talk to each other, Deng Fang waved his hand, and in an instant, a group of brocade guards appeared at the door of the court with knives, and the officials quieted down.
Dali Temple Qing Shen stood up and frowned, "Lord Wei, I don't know where your news came from?"
"It was Wang Wengui who was reported by the Weishui River. Wei Changhong snorted, turned to look at the ministers and said, "My lords, Wang Wengui reported something else to me, the news is only incidental, do you know that in addition to the Wolf Cave Mountain tragedy and the Xinyang City tragedy, there was also a terrifying incident in Xinyang City?"
Zhang Jian, the secretary of the ministry, couldn't stand still, looked at Wei Changhong and said, "Lord Wei, be cautious!"
"It's all bullied to the doorstep, how can you be cautious. Wei Changhong said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, just the day before yesterday, there was an incident in Xinyang County that is one of the few since the founding of the Great Qin, Xinyang ordered Lu Yuan to put under house arrest a fourth-grade official of the imperial court without will, and prepared to say that Xinyang ordered Lu Yuan to put under house arrest Wang Wengui, the river envoy who went to Xinyang on business, this kind of thing, please comment, this kind of thing has happened in the Great Qin Imperial Court, what does Lu Yuan want to do, does he want to rebel?"
Xinyang ordered Lu Yuan to be placed under house arrest and went to Xinyang to make Wang Wengui rebel?
As soon as Wei Changhong's words fell, Lu Bowen, the representative of the Lu family in Pingyao in the court, Lu Bowen, the right attendant of the ministry, couldn't stand up, stood up with a pale face, pointed at Wei Changhong and said: "Wei Changhong, you are so bloody that you spew blood!"
"I'm spewing blood?" Wei Changhong laughed and said: "Lu Bowen, is what I said true, you ask Lu Yuan directly, you naturally know, even if Lu Yuan doesn't say it, presumably the imperial court will soon get news of Xinyang, and I, Wei Changhong, will never tell lies!"
"You ......" Lu Bowen pointed at Wei Changhong, furious, but he also knew that Wei Changhong didn't dare to talk nonsense in this court, and he couldn't say anything to refute it for a while.
Lu Bowen only wanted to disperse the dynasty quickly, he had to go to Xinyang and ask what was going on.
House arrest of a court official, and it is also his own official, this is not a trivial matter, if it is implemented, the dismissal of the official is small, and if it is really serious, it will cost people's lives.
Wei Changhong snorted coldly at Lu Bowen, turned around and bowed to Wang Mang and said, "Minister Wei Changhong asks Your Majesty to issue an order to press Xinyang Ling Lu Yuan back to the capital for inquiry!"
The eyes of the hundred officials immediately looked at Wang Mang, Wang Mang glanced at the hundred officials, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and looked at Wei Changhong and said: "I remember that some time ago, Cai Guohua was ordered by Cai County to play the Weishui River to make Wang Wengui corrupt, so that all the river projects in the entire Weishui River Basin are all tofu scum projects, is the Wang Wengui you said who was placed under house arrest by Lu Yuan the Wang Wengui impeached by Cai Guohua?"
Wang Mang's voice fell, Wei Changhong's face changed, and he said embarrassedly: "Back to Your Majesty, the two are indeed the same person, but the so-called Wang Wengui is corrupt, so that all the river projects in the entire Weishui River Basin are all tofu scum projects, and the matter has been ascertained by the river yamen, and it is about to start Your Majesty, in addition, the minister will also play Cai Guohua to trap the ministers of the court!"
"Is that so?" Wang Mang looked at Wei Changhong with a faint expression.
Wei Changhong hurriedly nodded yes, Wang Mang's eyes closed and he didn't speak.
Shang Yang has been paying attention to Wang Mang's expression, and when he saw Wang Mang's eyes closed, he immediately stepped out and said, "I don't know what Lord Wei said has been investigated, who is it who and He Yamen investigated?"
Wei Changhong's eyes were small, and he frowned and looked at Shang Yang, for this Shang Yang, who had been extremely powerful recently, he had no intention of being an enemy, but what the other party said in front of him was not what a friend should say.
"Lord Wei is not easy to say?" Shang Yang said again.
Wei Changhong's face flashed with anger, and he said, "Since the river yamen found out, what is the problem with Lord Shang?"
"Hahaha......" Shang Yang laughed.
"Shang Yang, why are you laughing so loudly?" Wang Mang opened his eyes and looked at Shang Yang, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and only Shang Yang was laughing.
Shang Yang bowed and said, "The minister has never heard the truth of a thief shouting to catch a thief!"
