Wei Yuanzhong acted impartially, and quickly sent people to the Luoshui River to collect evidence, drawing the impact marks on the stern of the boat, the testimony of the four teenagers, and the testimony of the wharf unloading coolies, all pointed to Zhang Changxian, but the crooked mouth of the Zhang family slave took the initiative to admit guilt, saying that it was because of the verbal conflict, under the emotion, Su Hang was knocked unconscious, so that Su Hang fell into the water without any struggle, resulting in death.

This is obviously pushing a slave out to take the blame, the Su family does not approve of it, and Wei Yuanzhong will not give up.

Zhang Changzong found Su Shilang, both soft and hard, and even forced Su Hang's two elder brothers to have a future, Su Shilang had to compromise, Wei Yuanzhong could only sentence the staff to kill the house slave, and Zhang Changxian was at large.

A good boy in the Su family lost his life, but he had to be a house slave to die, Su Shilang's mother couldn't afford to be ill, and died of depression, Su Shilang simply returned to his hometown with a worry.

But Zhang Changzong seemed to be more annoyed than the Su family, and he believed that Wei Yuanzhong was targeting their brother again.

In autumn, Emperor Wu was accidentally infected with wind and cold and fell ill, and Emperor Wu, who thought that he would live a long life of 200 years, was weak and his limbs were sore. She dreamed that a cloud of white light shook in front of her eyes, and turned into a huge whirlpool, as if to attract her into it, and she woke up feeling inexplicable. Zhang Changzong interpreted his dream and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, this is a good omen!" That white light is a symbol of a bright future, and the huge whirlpool sucks away the pain of His Majesty's illness, and His Majesty will gradually recover and become more and more healthy! “

Emperor Wu was in a good mood when he heard this. Stroking Zhang Changzong's sideburns, "How can I live without Liulang?" ”

"Rokuro can't live without His Majesty!" Zhang Changzong rubbed his head affectionately against Emperor Wu's hand, "Your Majesty, get better quickly, Liulang heard that Wei Yuanzhong and Si Liqing Gao Ji have been conspiring in private, saying that Your Majesty is old, and they want to blackmail the prince to order the princes!" Goro Rokuro was angry, but he was helpless, so he had to wait for His Majesty to deal with it. ”

The word "old" touched Emperor Wu's scales, and with an order, Wei Yuanzhong was put in prison.

After the wind and cold recovered, Wei Yuanzhong had been imprisoned in the prison for half a month. Emperor Wu summoned the crown prince Li Xian, the prime minister Li Dan and the prime ministers, and asked Zhang Changzong and Wei Yuanzhong to confront each other in front of the palace.

Zhang Changzong coerced and lured Prime Minister Zhang Shuo (Yueyin) to give false testimony, and asked him to give evidence that he heard Wei Yuangao and the two conspired, in Zhang Changzong's mind, Zhang Shuo was a short-tempered, greedy for money and profit, he made up some Wei Yuanzhong slander Zhang Yue, and gave Zhang Shuo a lot of gold and silver treasures. Zhang said that when he heard that Wei Yuanzhong had slandered himself, he was so angry that he scolded, and in the face of Zhang Changzong's request, he responded in one bite.

But when it came time to confront the emperor, Zhang Shuo turned against him, took out the property given by Zhang Changzong, and claimed that he was bribed and coerced to commit perjury.

Wei Yuanzhong was thus spared death, but Emperor Wu still demoted Wei Yuanzhong to the rank of Gaoyao county lieutenant, and Zhang Shuo was also assigned to Qinzhou.

Shen Mengxi believes that this is also a way for Emperor Wu to calm down people, whether he is guilty or not, he can't stay in his original post and continue to fight, and demoting one of them out of the capital and cooling down for a while is a good way. Just like Di Renjie was demoted to Peng Ze back then, it actually made them temporarily leave right and wrong.

However, Emperor Wu was also determined to protect the Zhang brothers, and did not pursue Zhang Changzong's malicious framing and design of perjury.

There are still many civil officials who are not afraid of death, and after this incident, Li Chengjia, a member of the department, reported that Zhang Yizhi embezzled 4 million taels of silver, the evidence is conclusive, and he should be dismissed.

In the face of factual evidence, Emperor Wu was slow to make a decision. A minister who knew the opportunity came out and said that Zhang Yizhi refined the pill for His Majesty and made His Majesty healthy, and this credit was enough to offset any mistakes.

Emperor Wu listened to it and nodded happily.

In the end, the blame was taken by others, and it was over.

Since then, no one has provoked the Zhang brothers, they are even more arrogant, Emperor Wu often boycotts the dynasty for days, and the prime minister can only see Emperor Wu every three or five days, and the government affairs are handed over to the Zhang brothers on weekdays, and they control half of the forbidden army.

******

Yu'er, whose marriage was delayed by Di Renjie's death, also got married, in Shen Mengxi's opinion, twenty years old is still a bit early, but she is the only one who thinks so.

Yu'er has a rich dowry, a field shop, gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, slaves and maids, and a vast vast. Several of the brothers of the Di family are worried at home, and they are extremely low-key, Di Jingen is just a seven-grade petty official, doing things honestly, and he has no limelight at all.

The wedding was simple, Yu'er didn't have Shen Mengxi's worried complaints, and took her nurse, and the maid who had been selected ten years in advance, as well as the hundred guards given by Shen Mengxi, and got married happily. Some of these maidservants are well-versed in medicine, some are good at cooking, some are fine embroiderers, some are skilled in martial arts, and some are able to manage accounts. The hundred guards are also elite soldiers, all loyal.

When Yu'er said goodbye, Shen Mengxi still cried, she has spent a lot of effort on Yu'er over the years, and she doesn't know if it's because of her own efforts, or because of the regret that mother and daughter can't make friends.

When Yu'er kowtowed, big tears fell on the carpet, and Shen Mengxi also saw it.

"Although you are married, you will always be the daughter of the princess's mansion. A-Niang and your brother are always your backing and respond to your needs. Shen Mengxi didn't admonish other people's families when they married their daughters in front of Di Jingen, but just said this.

Yu'er pursed her lips and nodded.

When he turned his head to look at Di Jingen again, the two were already happy and went out together.

After Yu'er returned to the door, Shen Mengxi said that he was unwell, and his family moved to Qingyun Villa, and he easily did not return to Luoyang City.

Yin'er said to Ai Ai on a date: "Ah Niang, the Lantern Festival of the Shangyuan Festival, son, I met the ten ladies of the Cui family......" When he said this, he bowed his head and was silent.

"That ten ladies of the Cui family?" Shen Mengxi didn't react for a while.

"It's the daughter of General Cui."

Shen Mengxi remembered that it was the delicate Fang family and Cui Jin's daughter, and couldn't help but subconsciously ask, "Ah?" Is her daughter okay? ”

Yin'er was anxious on her face, and pleaded: "My son has seen Shi Niangzi play polo, and her body is very healthy, but Mrs. Fang's weak body is due to the fact that she gave birth to three children in succession, not by nature!" ”

Shen Mengxi squinted at Yin'er, "It's not a big deal, just speak for others, will there be a place for the old lady in the future?" ”

Yin'er was startled, and when she looked up and saw A-Niang's playful face, she put her mind at ease, "Naturally, I listen to A-Niang for everything." ”

"Let A-Niang think about it." Shen Mengxi thought for a while and said.

Yin'er nodded in disappointment, he knew that his mother was only low-key now, but Cui Jin was the general of the forbidden army Jin Wuwei, who was in the limelight, and the two families were married, which would inevitably bring the princess's mansion back to the eyes of the world and cause unnecessary trouble.

However, he knew that his mother was already looking for a princess for him, and he heard that two major families had proposed to the Cui family, so he was very anxious for a while, and he had to mention it to A-Niang no matter what.
