Chapter 204: Ink Greed

As soon as the rumors spread, the people naturally didn't think much about it, but they just thought that it was one more after-dinner chatter, but this news caused an uproar in the major mansions in Beijing, and even the eldest princess who had just received the news in the morning in the palace was also surprised.

Jiang Yuanliu opened his eyes in Qiuhua's hurried steps, and saw that Qiuhua had an anxious look on his face, so he knew that the news of his uncle's injury was spread by the main messenger behind the scenes.

"Miss, it's better to let the slave maid go to the Hou Mansion to inquire about the news." Qiuhua saw Jiang Yuanliu frowning, and couldn't help but feel anxious in her heart.

"No, you don't." And Jiang Yuanliu interrupted her kindness, then stood up and put on the jacket she was wearing, Qiuhua just pulled up her loose hair for her, and saw Mama Zhang walk in quickly from the outside, and then saluted Jiang Yuanliu, and said in a low voice: "Miss, the little maid at the door saw Gonggong Chun beside the eldest princess leading the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, heading in the direction of the Fuguo Mansion. ”

Jiang Yuanliu then nodded, and his originally quiet and calm gaze couldn't help but paint a worried look.

The imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital are all carefully selected doctors, and if the eldest princess can send them, you can see the eldest princess's care for the Fuguo Mansion.

It's just that among these imperial doctors, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no eyeliner planted by others.

The life of the eldest uncle is so weak now, it must not be the slightest mistake.

Now that there is such a big thing in the Fuguo Mansion, I don't know if the emperor will also send someone to the border to inform his cousin.

At this time, Mrs. Hua was sitting in the middle of the punishment hall, watching Escort Yang bring up the housekeeper who had been tied up by the five flowers.

That Yang Guard has followed Wen Chuyun since he was a child, and he is naturally loyal to him, but now that he saw such a traitor in the mansion, he kicked behind the butler's knee without saying a word, making the butler have to kneel in front of the old lady.

"It's really hard to prevent thieves, how could I have thought that the doctor you invited to treat the disease was actually a butcher who took his life." The old lady looked at the butler kneeling below, with a thick anger and killing intent in his eyes.

The old housekeeper has already passed the age of confusion this year, and the black hair between his temples is also faintly visible white frost, seeing that what he has done now is revealed, he naturally has nothing to say, so he can only kneel in front of the old lady and bow his head and remain silent.

But what the old lady wanted now was not his silence, so he saw her look at Yang Guard, and Yang Guard immediately stretched out his hands and put them on the butler's shoulder blades and slowly exerted force, and Yang Guard was originally a person who practiced martial arts, so he naturally knew where the meridians and acupoints of the person were, and sure enough, within a moment, he saw that the housekeeper who wanted to be confused was already sweating profusely at this time, and finally couldn't bear the pain, and the whole person's body was crooked and lay directly on the ground.

Say. Who is your true master? You ask yourself, how is my Fuguo Mansion treating you? Hou Ye has always been kind to his subordinates and never beats and scolds you, but you, a black-hearted dog, actually found someone to assassinate Hou Ye, is your conscience eaten by dogs? The old lady was very angry at this time, stretched out a trembling hand and pointed at the housekeeper and scolded bitterly, the hatred in his eyes could not be hidden at this time, as long as he remembered that the housekeeper almost killed his only son, the old lady now fried his heart.

The housekeeper saw that Mrs. Hua was now angry and powerful, and there was a Yang guard who knew martial arts standing beside him, so he didn't want to suffer anymore, so he gasped and said hurriedly: "The old lady spares his life, the slave is also forced to do this, that day someone threatened the life of the slave family, if he didn't follow his intentions, the slave family would die in Huangquan.

The slave is also forced, but the slave really doesn't know who is the person in charge behind the scenes, and please ask the old lady to see it, even if the slave is confused now, he will never tell such a lie. ”

But now in the face of her plea for mercy, Mrs. Hua has long lost half of her compassion in her heart, and when she saw him wave his hand to Yang Guard, she asked Yang Guard to take the person down and dispose of it.

Although Mrs. Hua is now severely punishing the housekeeper, Wen Chuyun's matter has caused a significant change in the direction of the court.

The next day, when he went to the early court, Wen Yan, who was the head of the household, made a deal with the emperor as soon as he went to the early court, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has this book." ”

I saw that the chief eunuch beside the emperor immediately went down the steps and took over the piece raised high in his hand, and the emperor didn't even look at him, and said coldly: "What's the matter?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister wants to participate in the household department today, and Lord Liu embezzled 500,000 yuan and two taels of silver during his tenure, and asked the emperor to investigate!" Wen Yan knelt on his knees, and said in a sonorous voice the content of his play.

For a moment, all the people in the hall looked at each other, looking at him with doubts, and then at the reported Tobe Shangshu.

At this moment, a trace of panic flashed on the face of Tobe Shangshu, and he immediately looked at the ministers standing in the front, and saw that their expressions were calm, and this panicked heart gradually calmed down.

Then he immediately came out of the ranks, knelt beside Wen Yan with a swing of his sleeves, and said in a sonorous tone: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been conscientious and conscientious for decades during his tenure, and he has never thought of using power for personal gain and collecting wealth for himself!" Please also ask the emperor to be clear, and return the ministers to an innocence! ”

"Lord Liu, what are you panicking about now? Or wait for the emperor to read Brother Weichen's recital before deciding, are you in such a hurry now, is there a ghost in your heart?

As your subordinate, Wei Cheng has handled things for such a long time, although there are thousands of things, but there are also many of them, and this household is full of adults and your descendants, if adults want to do things in it, wouldn't it be easy? ”

Wen Yan didn't give him a chance to quibble at all, and before the emperor could speak, he immediately refuted Xiao Yan, just a few simple words, but they pierced people's hearts, making the other officials present believe what he said.

After all, there will be some relationship between the subordinates of each position, otherwise they will never rest assured that they will use others.

It's just that what everyone doesn't understand is that Wen Yan has been in the position of the household servant for so many years, why did he choose to expose Liu Qingshan's evil deeds now?

"Wen Yan, you don't spray people here with blood, you are not jealous of me for a day or two, today you casually found a trumped-up charge and wanted the emperor to believe your words and cure my crimes, you don't dream here, the emperor is a wise monarch through the ages, how can he listen to a villain like you?"

But this behavior only provoked Wen Yan to sneer, and then he looked at Liu Qingshan and said, "Why is Lord Liu so annoyed and angry? Could it be that others don't know about the corrupt things you have done? ”

This sentence immediately confirmed Liu Qingshan's charge of corruption, so that those adults who originally wanted to intercede for Liu Qingshan retreated one after another, and everyone began to weigh today's matter and what kind of consequences it would cause, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

and a few powerful people, but when they saw a few people and didn't say anything, and even for this matter, it was just a child's game at home, so I couldn't help but be glad that I didn't do the first bird just now, and pleaded for him.

"Your Majesty, you have to be discerning, you must believe in Weichen, all of this is fabricated by Wen Yan out of thin air, Weichen has been conscientious all these years in office, and he has never done those things that are greedy for ink, this is just his jealousy.

He wanted to take the position of Wei Chen, and asked the emperor not to believe what this person said, Duan could not be wronged by a good minister. ”

Liu Qingshan saw that there were hundreds of ministers in the main hall, but none of them pleaded for him, and he panicked for a while, and immediately cried and mourned, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed violently to the emperor sitting on the dragon chair to show his loyalty.

Seeing this situation, Gu Hongxiao glanced at Liu Qingshan, who was kneeling on the ground helplessly, and then looked at Wen Yan with a sinister smile on his face, and there was a little measurement in his heart.

It's just that the emperor hasn't spoken yet, but he is not in a hurry to speak, so as not to fall into the trap of others.

Gu Jinshu looked at the two kneeling in the main hall, like clowns jumping off beams, and his smiling eyes just inadvertently swept towards the eldest prince standing opposite him.

I saw that he was different from usual, Jing had been silent, but his cold eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of a person standing in the opposite team, and then the smile on his lips was even worse.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a book." At this moment, Zhang Ping, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who had been standing in the back row, suddenly stood out of the queue, knelt on the ground with his own fold in both hands, and said loudly.

"What do you have to report?" The emperor casually threw aside the fold handed by Chinese Yan, and said with a slight coldness, but his eyes frequently scanned the expressions of the ministers in the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the minister will also participate in the Household Department Shangshu Liu Darenchen's recital, listing all the money that the Household Department Shangshu said he had handled for more than ten years. And the expenditure of these funds has been listed, and most of the funds have not been used in full for the government, indeed as Wen Shilang said, as much as more than 500,000, and now he also asks the emperor to take a look, do not let such moths harm the court again. ”

Zhang Ping and the others' voices were loud, and they clearly said what Liu Qingshan had done over the years, like a heavy hammer hitting Liu Qingshan's body.

As soon as his words fell, Liu Qingshan, who was still showing his innocence, suddenly collapsed on the ground as if he had been drained, and his face was pale, which made people immediately believe that this was what he did.

Taking advantage of the free time when his father-in-law went up to get the fold, the emperor's pair of eagle eyes had been sweeping over the faces of several important ministers in the front row, but what he was thinking about was not Liu Qingshan's corruption.
