Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly split, pointed at Xie Qizuo, and shouted: "What kind of certificate do you have? Xie Qizuo, don't forget who gave you today!"

Ying Che sneered and said, "Remember, it was Lord Zhang himself who said it, and he has the grace of knowing Lord Xie, so what Lord Xie said is more credible." ”

Zhang Yan was lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, no matter what Xie Qizuo said, it was only a one-sided statement, Zhang Yan still had a reason to refute it, but he himself involved the relationship between the two, which showed that Xie Qizuo's testimony was the most credible.

Zhang Yan was stunned on the spot for a while, like a mud tire and wood plastic. Ying Che's fierce eyes shifted away from him, and said to Xie Qizuo: "Go on." ”

After choosing to take refuge in King Rui, Xie Qizuo no longer hesitated, kowtowed heavily to the ground, and said: "Last year's Chongyang disaster, many people died, and the imperial court attached great importance to it, and allocated five million taels of disaster relief funds from the household department. Master Zhang felt that this was a good opportunity to make a fortune, so he called the lower officials, as well as Zheng Qian, the general judge, and Xu Shihai, the commander of Luchuan County, together to discuss how to do it. ”

Zhang Yan was furious, "You framed this official!"

Ying Che frowned and waved his hand at him, and said, "Master Zhang doesn't have to be anxious, listen to it." He asked Xie Qizuo again, "Five million taels have become two million, but there are hundreds of thousands of victims in Chongyang, and there are not a few taels of silver in everyone's hands, can the victims do anything?"

Xie Qizuo said: "Of course not." But how could they fight the ruthless Lord Zhang, who entered the yamen and could get out alive. And Master Zhang has his own means, there are many people, and there are few silver, so it is not enough to kill some. ”

There was an uproar for a while.

Xie Qizuo didn't intend to stop, bowed his hand to the sky, and then said: "Holy Heaven's grace, sympathetic to the people." Therefore, in addition to the first five million taels of relief, it is also stipulated that each family will receive another ten taels for each person who dies. But Lord Zhang has been hiding from his superiors and subordinates, on the one hand, he falsely reported the number of deaths, and on the other hand, he suppressed it, and it all went into his pocket. According to the speculation of the lower officials, this money alone is worth millions of taels. ”

Yinghua was dumbfounded suddenly, and stood up angrily, "Zhang Yan, you are so bold!" Dare to carry a million taels of silver behind his back.

Zhang Yan waved his hand in fear, "There is no lower official, there is really no lower official." He got up and kicked at Xie Qizuo, and said angrily: "Slander, slander, say, who did you suffer to slander this official!"

His gaze swept over the officials present, and finally fell on Ying Che, and in an instant he understood everything.

Why Zheng Qian was suddenly killed, why he didn't find his account book after Xu Shihai's death, and Xie Qizuo's betrayal, all of them were all done by King Rui, including today's banquet.

Perhaps, even the assassination was designed by King Rui.

Ying Che looked at him calmly, and said indifferently: "Slander, Lord Zhang, black and white, clear accounts, you slander yourself?" He picked up the account book that belonged to Zhang Yan, flipped through it roughly, smiled coldly, and said: "But when it comes to commanding, this king has a question, you are so bold, is it because someone is instructing you behind your back?"

The prince's face changed suddenly, blue and white for a while, and said: "Third brother, look at this palace, it has not yet been determined whether Zhang Yan is really greedy for disaster relief funds, so it is better not to judge first." ”

Zhang Yan didn't care about what he was hiding from him, and now the most important thing is to help him clear it up, otherwise if he finds out the three million, he will be completely finished.

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't believe it," at this time, Xie Qizuo took out a stack of letters from his arms, "This is the usual correspondence between Lord Zhang and the lower officials, and they are all clearly written, and they can be compared with the handwriting."

Yinghua was stunned for a moment, Zhang Yan's face instantly faded blood, and he trembled and pointed his finger at him, "You-you-you-" Except for the word "you", he couldn't pronounce a word.

He had told everyone that after reading the letter, it would be burned, but he didn't expect Xie Qizuo to leave him a hand a long time ago.

He slumped into his chair in dismay, gasping for breath.

Ying Che took out a letter at random, opened it, and his lips crossed a gentle arc, "Does Lord Zhang have anything else to say?" waved at Zhang Yan.

After a little silence, Zhang Yan suddenly let out a humming laugh, no longer fearless, even the respect he pretended to be before was gone.

He stood up, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "Lord Rui, don't force people to death in everything, the dog jumps off the wall when he's in a hurry." ”

Ying Che couldn't help but be amused, "Oh? How does that Lord Zhang want to jump off the wall?"

Zhang Yan's expression suddenly became gloomy, "King Rui, don't forget, whose territory are you in now." The emperor is far away, and the saint can't save you. ”

Hearing his threat, Wang Zhan immediately stood in front of Ying Che and reprimanded angrily: "Be bold and strict, dare to threaten the prince, how many heads do you have!"

Zhang Yan sneered, "It's not much, a head, but if you can exchange one of the prince's lives, it's worth it." He laughed wildly, "Let me tell you, it's all my men outside, and if I give the order, they will rush in." ”

After hearing this, Ying Che laughed instead of being angry, brushed Wang Zhan aside, pointed at Zhang Yan and said with a smile: "Well, this king admires you a lot, and he is quite a bit of a hero." ”

Immediately after, his smile retracted, and his voice was cold, "Then you can call it and try it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Dreadnought walking in with soldiers and horses, all holding steel knives and surrounding them.

Zhang Yan's master stumbled in from outside, "My lord, it's not good, our people are all under control." Zhang Yan was shrewd and saw that something was wrong, so he gave his master a look and asked him to transfer troops, just in case.

Fearless's voice was as cold and hard as steel, "Lord Zhang embezzled so much money, didn't he know how to give his subordinates a piece of the pie?

Yingche Yang said: "Zhang Yan, you have no way out, so you should be captured, go back to Beijing with this king, and meet the saint, right?"

Zhang Yan's face was like ashes, but he was still unwilling, shook his head, and muttered: "No, if I don't go, I won't lose." ”

His eyes had a blood-red fierce light, and when he was unprepared, he suddenly drew his sword and rushed towards Yingche, shouting hysterically: "I will die with you!"

Seeing this, Fearless flew and kicked it, and his body flew away, hit the screen, made a loud "bang", and fell to the ground.

Zhang Yan endured the pain, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, he saw Jiao Niang on the side, suddenly jumped up, quickly grabbed Jiao Niang, and put the knife on her neck.

Wang Zhan was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "You are about to let our mother go." ”

Empress?

Zhang Yan looked at Jiao Niang, and came to his senses for a while, he let out bursts of laughter, and the knife was one step closer to Jiao Niang's neck, "It turned out to be Niangniang, hahahaha." ”

He threatened, "Don't come, or I'll kill her." ”
