That year, there was an accident in the Pingxi Hou Mansion, and many people were implicated in the army and the military department.

The original soldier of the left squire, Lord Lang You, committed suicide and left a document to prove that Pingxi Hou collaborated with the enemy.

Lord You had a very good relationship with Pingxihou, and he committed suicide as a proof, which was a very weighty evidence at the beginning.

Wen Yan was extremely sad at that time, she didn't understand how the kind and hearty Lord You could make such a false accusation.

It wasn't until later that she took revenge that she learned that Lord You had been killed.

His death was part of the plan.

And Dicha, a few months later, replaced Lord You and became the squire of the military department.

He is the beneficiary.

It is the beneficiary of the faction of the eldest princess of eternal life.

Even, when the tribes of the Western Regions were in dispute, Di Cha fought with one force, regardless of supplies and military supplies, which caused heavy losses to the Western army trained by the Pingxi Marquis on behalf of Daiping.

The once invincible Western Army, after experiencing the commander's "collaborator" and subjugation, has long since lost its former sharpness.

After another fiasco, there were nine out of ten.

In the end, all the troops of the imperial court had to withdraw to Guannai, not to mention the tribes in the Western Regions, and even merchants and trade became a big problem.

This morning, after hearing that the emperor scolded Di Cha at the court meeting, Wen Yan knew that Di Cha, a chess piece, could not be kept by the eldest princess of eternal life.

If you can't keep it, you will be killed in person, so as not to reveal something that should not be revealed.

That's what the eldest princess is.

Wen Yan knew this, so he asked Ebon'er to investigate the situation.

If Dica is excited, after the eldest princess's people come to the door, the two will argue, and maybe they will tell some valuable inside information.

It's a pity that Dichard is too "honest".

He didn't resist anything, and just died.

After all, the dead don't speak.

Dicha hung on the beam, and naturally others said whatever they wanted.

The next day, Wen Yan got up in front of Wen Zifu's office, informed Dicha of his death, and then went back to sleep.

Wen Zifu knew in his heart, and after receiving the report from the yamen, he dared to bring people to Di's mansion.

Recently, there have been a lot of things in Shuntianfu, and Bi Zhian took people to investigate the case, and Wen Zifu has a little less manpower.

The other masters of the Di family had already left with their cronies and servants, and those who stayed behind were all ignorant of anything.

I don't know how to ask, most of the people went to ask, and Wen Zifu entered the study.

The official put Dica down and examined it carefully.

Wen Zifu looked around and suddenly found a few shallow marks on the big case.

Come on, needless to say, the five-grade officials of their own family stayed.

He turned his back and silently erased it.

These are places where dust seems to accumulate in the house......

Wen Zifu looked up at the beam.

"Come on," Wen Zifu beckoned to the two officials, "put the ladder on the ladder, and you have to untie this rope." ”

The two officials were afraid of heights, and they shirked with bitter faces.

He laughed: "My lord, these two can't climb, and wait, wait for the small one to finish checking and then go up." ”

Of course, Wen Zifu knew that these two officials were not good, and said deliberately: "The emperor only reprimanded Di Shilang yesterday, and today he will hang the beam, this case cannot be delayed, I have to move quickly, in this way, I will climb ......"

Seeing that he insisted, a few people couldn't resist him, the official held the ladder, and Wen Zifu climbed up.

The string untied and snapped and fell to the ground.

Seeing the clear footprints on the beam, Wen Zifu let out an "oops" and took the opportunity to grab the roof beam, rubbing his wide sleeves on it.

The few people below were startled, and when they saw that he was staggering and steady, they climbed down again, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Obediently, let Tongzhi climb the roof beam, and fall, all of them must be unlucky.

Wen Zifu pretended to wipe his sweat: "I almost missed." ”

The official hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, dust off the ashes." ”

Wen Zifu answered, walked outside the study, squinted, dusted his sleeves, and thought, very good, the evidence is ruined.

After that, even if anyone climbed the beam, they would not notice that there was a cat here.

Wen Zifu returned to the study.

He said: "At first glance, it seems that it is right to commit suicide. ”

Wen Zifu bowed his head, stood on the side of the big case and looked at it, and said: "There is still ink in the inkstone, and the pen has not been washed. What about what he wrote? If you commit suicide, you write a suicide note? ”

On the table, no, anywhere else in the room, no.

The suicide note is gone.

At noon that day, the case file was sorted out and sent to the imperial study by Bi Zhi'an.

"Di Shilang committed suicide?" The emperor motioned to Gonggong Wu to submit the case file, "I see that he committed suicide in fear of crime!" ”

It wasn't until he opened the case file and saw the contents that the emperor's face suddenly darkened.

Dicha died, it's nothing, this man didn't kill himself, since the letter of guilt was sent, waiting for him was also beheaded.

However, the self-incrimination letter, or suicide note, is gone.

Obviously, I have studied ink and written, but what about that thing?

Moreover, Dicha's family left the city at dawn and did not know where to flee.

The emperor's heart fluctuated.

Didn't Di Cha's self-incrimination book write something that was unfavorable to the Shen family and the eldest princess of Yongshou, so they took the self-incrimination book away and destroyed it before the yamen?

I heard that Yongshou returned to Beijing last night.

If the secret passage under the capital had not been exposed, perhaps Di Cha would not have died, and he would have run out of the city along the secret passage.

Thinking of this, the emperor pressed his eyebrows, and then took a few sips of tea to calm his mind.

"The case file is there," the emperor explained to Bi Zhi'an, "You personally take someone and copy the Di family to see if there is anything missing." ”

Bi Zhi'an retreated.

The emperor leaned on the back of his chair, closed his eyes and thought for a while before opening his eyes again.

The Shen family has a deep foundation in the court, even if he is dissatisfied with the Shen family, he can't easily move.

This time, it is to set an example for chickens and monkeys.

It's just that the monkey is still disobedient.

Then you have to add some more constraints.

Rooting is not overnight, and removing roots also requires methods.

"You let people go to the Xiyuan Palace," the emperor instructed Gonggong Wu, "let several highnesses come over, it's not enough to just study, it's time for them to go around the yamen and add some growth." ”

Gonggong Wu lowered his head and thought secretly, a few times ago, the emperor and the fourth prince mentioned that they wanted His Royal Highness to go to the six ministries to watch the government, and I thought it was a casual mention, even if it was implemented, it would wait until the next year, but I didn't expect that this was about to start.

The news of Dicsa's suicide spread in the DPRK.

The eldest princess of Yongshou looked at the person who spoke and frowned, "Didn't wait for the people of the Di family? ”

The people below shook their heads and continued to bite the bullet: "I heard that Shuntianfu did not find the self-incrimination book in Dicha's study. ”

The eldest princess of Yongshou turned her head sharply to look at the scholar beside her.

The scholar was also stunned, and said: "When Xia left, the self-incrimination book was there, and there were still people left in Xia, and no one entered the study after that. ”

The eldest princess of Yongshou sneered: "So, where did the self-guilty book go?" ”
