605: Drum Ringing!

Huang Shilang drove away the original wife and children, and has been changing concubines and people over the years, obviously not planning to have too much emotional involvement with others.

Why?

Did Huang Shilang have long expected such a day and is unwilling to implicate others?

But Huang Shilang hasn't changed the house for so many years, and Yu Xian feels that there is something wrong with the Huang family.

Yu Xian asked people to dig three feet into the ground of the Huang family, and stole all the things in Huang Shilang's study, not letting go of any corner of Huang Shilang's house, wanting to find out "evidence" such as confidential letters, and even more wanting to discover the secret passages and secret rooms that Huang Shilang concealed...... It's a pity that the rockery in the courtyard of the Huang family was torn down, all the green bricks were dug up, the walls, roof beams and roof tiles, including the stove in the kitchen, and the stone tank where Huang Shilang's family raised fish were not spared, and there was no gain.

It's an ordinary house.

How can it be!

Gu Hongtai didn't give up, and he had to lead people to tear down the wall, and Huang Shilang's neighbors on the left and right were miserable, and they came forward to ask the Jinyi guards to raise their noble hands.

The Huang family and the left and right neighbors are on the same wall, and as soon as the wall of the Huang family is demolished, the courtyards of the left and right neighbors will be left without a cover, what should the female relatives of the two families do?

"Demolition."

Yu Xian sneered: "Jinyi Wei is on an errand, when will others be allowed to bargain!" ”

Soon, all four walls of the Huang family were demolished.

Huang Shilang's neighbors on the left and right were really implicated, and the ladies of the family were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and the Jinyi guards had to search every room next to each other, knocking on the walls and the ground with scabbards, and the two masters dared not speak out.

Huang Shilang is a three-grade official, Jinyiwei said that he would be caught, and the neighbors on the left and right are petty officials, and the other is in business, how dare they argue with Jinyiwei, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

The wall was torn down, and the neighbors' houses were searched, but nothing was found.

Yu Xian felt that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

After Jinyiwei left, Huang Shilang's two neighbors didn't dare to build the wall, and a middle-aged man stood in the corridor, looking at the unrecognizable Huang Mansion, not knowing what he was thinking.

A person walked lightly, stood beside the middle-aged man, looked at the messy yard, and couldn't help sighing:

"It's very difficult for Lord Huang to get out this time, and Jinyiwei won't let him go."

The middle-aged man was expressionless: "Lord Huang never thought of getting out, it is inevitable that someone will sacrifice for such a thing, and Lord Huang was ready to sacrifice more than ten years ago." Now it is Lord Huang's sacrifice, and if there is a need, I will die generously like Lord Huang. ”

That's just as well.

Over the years, everyone has to lose their heads in everything they do, and if they hadn't put life and death aside for a long time, they wouldn't have been able to persevere!

"Sir, when can we contact Cheng Qing?"

The middle-aged man is Mr. Zhang, whom Jin Yiwei wants to catch the most.

Mr. Zhang has the skill of changing his face, and he can change to a new mask at any time according to the needs of the situation, and wearing a new mask, he brushes shoulders with the Jinyi guards who are chasing him, and the Jinyi guards can't recognize him.

Of course, Mr. Zhang dealt with Yu Xian as "He Wangchun", and he was afraid that Yu Xian would remember his figure, so he was still very cautious when he was active in the capital.

Hearing his subordinates ask when he could contact Cheng Qing, Mr. Zhang's eyes flashed with coldness: "What's the hurry, I've endured it for so many years, and now I can't help it?" The meal should be eaten in one bite, and the road should be walked step by step! ”

Whether the emperor's illness is true or false, Mr. Zhang is not sure yet.

But it doesn't matter, you'll be able to test it out soon!

……

Cheng Qing heard that Huang Shilang was arrested by Jinyiwei, and it was the second day.

Meng Huaijin asked her not to act rashly, but Cheng Qing endured not going to Meng Huaijin all the time.

The queen gave Concubine Ning to death, refused to establish the crown prince, and entrusted the affairs of the court to Gao Shoufu to manage, Gao Shoufu ordered Cheng Qing to follow him to do things, and the next day, he summoned several other ministers in addition to the cabinet, Meng Huaijin was one of them.

Cabinet Ministers, six ministers of Shangshu gathered together.

The Hanlin Academy also intended to show favor to Gao Shoufu, and Gao Shoufu asked the Hanlin Academy to send Shu Jishi to record the court discussion, and the person sent by the Hanlin Academy was Cheng Qi.

Cheng Jue is a member of the Hanlin Academy, and he is also the grandson-in-law of Gao Shoufu.

The bigwigs are now worried about two things, one is the establishment of the reserve, and the other is the war in the northwest.

The voice of the prince was pressed down by the queen's mother, and the war in the northwest became the target of concern for the bigwigs. In order to repel the Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry, it is necessary to transfer troops to the northwest, stop the footsteps of the Northern Barbarian army, and also deploy the defense line of the Beijing Division.

Cheng Qing listened very carefully.

She was not clear about the strength of the Beijing defense, and did not dare to interject indiscriminately.

Cheng Jue didn't have the qualifications to interject, and he kept his head down.

During the break, Cheng Qi secretly told Cheng Qing: "Ah Xian led someone to arrest Lord Huang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, last night, and I heard that he didn't even let go of a brick and tile of the Huang Mansion, and he took everything he could take away, and demolished everything he couldn't take away." ”

If it weren't for the importance of the war in the northwest and the emperor being unconscious, Cheng Jue estimated that there would be dozens of excerpts to impeach Yu Xian today.

What should Ah Xian do in the future!

Cheng Qing was also surprised when he heard the news at first glance.

Yu Xian...... No, why did Jin Yiwei arrest Huang Shilang, was it because of the queen's instructions?

Cheng Qing's first reaction was that the queen didn't like Huang Shilang, and several ministers used the four princes as an excuse to make trouble, not only gave Concubine Ning to death, but also used Huang Shilang to kill chickens and monkeys.

As soon as this idea came up, it was immediately refuted by Cheng Qing himself.

If the queen mother even commands the Jinyi guard, then there is no need to be afraid of the eldest princess.

There is only one person who can tell Yu Xian to do things, Luo Jun!

Jinyiwei caught Huang Shilang, did he find out that Huang Shilang was wrong?

It happened that Meng Huaijin also came out to breathe, and Cheng Qing hurriedly told Meng Huaijin about it. As soon as Cheng Jue saw Meng Huaijin coming, it was estimated that the two of them had something to say, so they turned back to find Gao Shoufu.

Meng Huaijin nodded, "I already knew about this matter last night, and you haven't paid attention to some rumors in the capital today, right?" ”

"Senior brother, what are the rumors?"

"Jin Yiwei copied Huang Shilang's home, he is a third-grade officer, he has not moved for more than ten years, he is a lonely man with no floating wealth, Jin Yiwei picked up Huang Shilang's home last night, and today some people are spreading it everywhere in the capital, saying that Huang Shilang is a good and honest official, only Huang Shilang dares to tell the truth, so Jinyi Wei can't tolerate Lord Huang."

Meng Huaijin paused, "The arrest of Huang Shilang has only spread in a small area, and it is not strange that there are these remarks this morning." ”

Of course it's weird.

This is someone manipulating public opinion behind the scenes.

No one is more familiar with such a method than Cheng Qing.

Others have taken her way, are they trying to force her to have no way out?

"An honest official is not necessarily a good official."

Cheng Qing muttered this.

In Cheng Qing's eyes, Huang Shilang is like a-stirring stick, the court situation is already very chaotic, Huang Shilang still wants to let the fourth prince be the prince, what kind of good official is this?

When Cheng Qing commented on Huang Shilang like this, he didn't expect Huang Shilang to lead to an earth-shattering event.

Meng Huaijin said that the little red fox sent by Xiao Yunpei, he had almost trained it, and he would take the time to send it to Cheng's house.

Cheng Qing almost forgot about the little red fox, but he didn't expect Meng Huaijin to really train the little fox well.

Since the little red fox, Cheng Qing thought of Xiao Yunpei, and then thought of Xiao Yunting who left the capital.

"Actually, I really hope that Xiao Yunting can return to the northwest alive, he is smart enough and ambitious, maybe there is really a way to stop the Northern Qi Iron Cavalry."

Meng Huaijin smiled faintly: "Xiao Yunting has not lived for a few years, so every day is very precious to him, he is reluctant to die, don't worry, he can definitely rush back to the northwest." ”

The ministers of the court also called the "Northern Qi" "Northern Barbarians" and did not recognize the unified regime established by Agoura in the steppe.

No, Cheng Qing felt that this was like covering his ears and stealing the bell.

The steppe tribes were not subject states of the Great Wei, and a new unified regime was established without the consent of the Great Wei.

Even if everyone in the Great Wei insisted on not changing their words and still used "Northern Barbarian" to refer to the regime established by Agoura, it could not change the fact that Agoura led the army to break through the northwest defense line.

Gao Shoufu discussed with the adults for a long time, and preliminarily finalized the strategy of transferring troops to help.

Cheng Qing hadn't digested these arrangements yet, and on the second day, the Dengwen drum in the capital was beaten - yes, it was the extreme method that those homeless people thought of when they were in Wuhe County to shout grievances for Cheng Qing, knocking on the Dengwen drum!

In order to prevent the drums from being beaten indiscriminately, the imperial court stipulated that the drummers should first be beaten with 30 boards and survive before they could tell their grievances.

Those who can risk being killed or disabled have to beat the drum, most of them are really wronged.

Because of this regulation, the Dengwen drum may not sound once a year, and when it is sounded at this time, Shuntianfu Yin has to rush over in person.

It was an old man who beat the drum, and Liang Qinian, Yin of Shuntian Mansion, rushed over, and when he saw the age of the drum beater, he couldn't bear to beat the other party for thirty boards, but the rules of the imperial court were like this, and Liang Qinian had to implement them.

Liang Qinian was kind-hearted, the official who executed was hinted by Lord Liang, and he left room for strength when he hit the board, and the old man's hind buttocks were beaten to a bloody blur, but in fact, they were all external injuries, and they didn't hurt the bones.

After playing the 30th board, Liang Qinian asked the old man who he was suing.

The old man laboriously pulled out a bloodstained complaint from his bosom.

"The old slave is a servant of the family of Lord Huang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the adult was arrested by the Jinyi guard, and the old slave sued on behalf of the master."

Sue Jin Yiwei?

If Jinyiwei is so easy to fall, Luo Jun will not be shouted and beaten by everyone in the court.

Liang Qinian's heart moved slightly, Luo Jun was unscrupulous before, he was supported by the emperor, and now the emperor is still in a coma, if before the emperor wakes up, all the adults in the court join forces to clean up Luo Jun...... Liang Qinian soon realized that Huang Shilang's servant knocked on the drum to complain was a good opportunity!

"Someone, present his complaint to this official!"

The complaint in the old man's hand was held in front of Liang Qinian by the officials.

Someone knocked on the drum, and many people outside the yamen heard that it was Huang Shilang's domestic servant, and the onlookers talked about it.

Everyone had never heard of Huang Shilang's deeds before, and overnight, Huang Shilang's name spread all over the capital, Jinyiwei's reputation was not good, and the Jinyiwei must have captured good officials, and the thinking of the common people was so simple and direct.

In front of so many people, Lord Liang Qinian wanted to show his upright side, but after reading the old man's complaint, the blood on Liang Qinian's face disappeared......

"Ridiculous, simply ridiculous."

Lord Liang's hands trembled as he held the complaint.

You really can't be too kind when you are an official.

I knew that I shouldn't have hinted to the servants just now to show mercy and beat to death this old servant who claimed to be Huang Shilang's family, and there would be no embarrassment for me.

Lord Liang accepted the complaint and asked the official to quickly drag the old servant away.

The old servant shouted loudly: "The old slave sued on behalf of the master, and the complaint was that the current emperor poisoned the first prince in the sixth year of Tianxian, causing the first prince to go crazy and out of control, burning the first prince's east palace alive, and killing the first emperor...... God, open your eyes and see, the murderer of his father has stolen the throne for more than 20 years, and now he finally has retribution! ”

The people watching the excitement outside the yamen were stupid.

Liang Qinian is also stupid.

The old servant didn't know where he got his strength, and after shouting the content of his complaint, he broke free from the coercion of the yamen and crashed to death on the pillar of the yamen!
