Chapter 147: An An Eradicates Dissidents

Xu Lang took Pei Shengyuan's token to Dali Temple and asked Dali Temple Qing to re-examine Xiao Sun's case.

Dali Siqing didn't expect Pei Shengyuan to intervene in this matter, they killed Xiao Sun, and then threatened Xiao Fang that if she dared to speak out, even she would be killed. Thinking that she is a woman in a green building, she naturally knows that there is a lot to do with it. I didn't pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, this Xiao Fang is not afraid of death, she promised not to make a noise on the surface, spent some money to prepare a mourning, went to Dali Temple to retrieve the body of Xiaosun, and buried it hastily.

Unexpectedly, she dared to beat gongs and drums at the gate of Dali Temple to express grievances, there were many people in the capital during the day, and it was not easy for them to escort people away directly.

This matter was also encountered by Pei Shengyuan's cronies, and it seems that this matter is a bit tricky.

Xu Lang said: "This case has aroused public indignation, how can there be bullying of men and women at the feet of the Son of Heaven." I hope that Lord Zheng will try it well, and the emperor will wait for the result. If the trial is wrong, this crime of deceiving the king will bring harm to the family. ”

Dali Siqing naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he asked him to go to the autopsy, and also asked Zhou Shangshu and Xiao Fang to go to the lobby for review.

Xiao Fang said: "Please be the master of the people's daughter, the people's daughter married the little grandson half a year ago, and Zhou Shangshu tricked the little grandson and let us live in the Zhou Mansion." He also asked me to take care of his nurse, who was so sick that he was delirious. At first, we thought that Zhou Daren was kind, not only freeing up a room for us to live in, but also giving the two of us a way to make a living. But I never expected that after only a few days of taking care of me, Zhou Shangshu went to his nurse's hospital and insulted me in the next room. At this, she couldn't hold back her tears.

Lord Zheng asked, "Lord Zhou, is what this woman said true?" ”

Zhou Shangshu blushed with anger and said loudly: "It's just nonsense, when I read Xiaosun was lonely, Xiao Fang was originally a Qinglou woman." They all say that bitches are ruthless, I'm afraid that Xiao Sun will be deceived by her, if they let them live outside. She couldn't bear the loneliness and couldn't wear countless green hats for her little grandson. I was kind enough to let her be a maid in the house, one to make their lives better, and the other to prevent Xiao Fang from doing anything wrong. ”

Xiao Fang trembled with anger, and she said in a trembling voice: "You lie, it is clear that you have ill intentions towards me......"

Before she finished speaking, Zhou Shangshu said again: "Xiao Fang, I have wives and concubines in my family, and each of them is innocent. How could I have any wrong thoughts about you, the woman in the Qinglou? You've seduced me several times to get me to pay you more. I can understand that, after all, bitches are like that. But you are like this, I am really not interested, after being rejected by me several times, I didn't expect you to be annoyed and angry, and actually instigated Xiaosun to falsely accuse me. You're a curse. ”

Xu Lang saw that they were expressing their opinions, so he asked, "Xiao Fang, you said that Zhou Shangshu threatened you, how did he threaten you?" ”

Xiao Fang calmed down and said: "He said that Xiao Sun is doing things in his house, and if I don't listen to him, he will let Xiao Sun die." My husband is my only support, and I can't ignore his life, so I can only obey him. I didn't expect him to get even worse and insult me every day or two. Later, when I got sick and couldn't take care of his wet nurse, he actually came to my room and insulted me. When Xiao Sun came back from going out, he saw him like a beast. wanted to fight with him, and he threatened his grandson with a deed of sale. We husband and wife are humble and have no way to resist but to obey. After Zhou Shangshu succeeded, he was even more unscrupulous, often letting Xiao Sun guard outside, and he insulted me in our house. After almost a month like this, Xiao Sun couldn't bear it, so he went to Dali Temple to beat the drum and voice his grievances. ”

Xu Lang asked again: "Zhou Shangshu, what do you have to say about this?" ”

Zhou Shangshu snorted coldly and said, "She is a lie, Xiao Fang has seduced me several times." I didn't fall for it, and I also reminded Xiao Sun, but I didn't expect Xiao Sun to be provoked by this woman and come to Dali Temple to make false accusations. ”

Xu Lang said: "You have your own opinions, can the two sides prove it?" ”

Xiao Fang said: "My lord, I have evidence. ”

Zhou Shangshu panicked and said, "You are talking nonsense, how can you have evidence?" ”

Xiao Fang said: "My lord, after Zhou Shangshu insulted me, he dropped his pants and sweatkerchief in my room several times. There is also a jade pendant on the body. After saying that, he took out a small box from his side, which contained paper money on it and those physical evidence below.

After reading it, Xu Lang asked, "Lord Zhou, what else do you have to say?" ”

Zhou Shangshu said: "Lord Xu, this Xu was stolen from my mansion......"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Lang said, "Zhou Shangshu, I am asking you on behalf of the emperor. If you dare to deceive the king, you know the consequences. ”

Zhou Shangshu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Lord Xu, Weichen is confused for a while. It's just because Xiao Fang seduced me several times, and I didn't hold ~ a few times. She is a Qinglou woman, and she is the most seductive person. ”

Xu Lang said: "Why did you hide it just now? ”

Zhou Shangshu was speechless for a while.

Xiao Fang said: "My lord, the folk girl has never seduced him. After I married my grandson, I just wanted to live with him as I could, and after being threatened and insulted by Zhou Shangshu, I asked my grandson to rent a house outside and wanted to move out. The little grandson's house has been found, you can also go to the north of the city to ask the landlord. However, Zhou Shangshu kept threatening us, so he didn't move out. ”

Zhou Shangshu said: "Lord Xu, Weichen was confused for a while, please ask Lord Xu to ask the emperor for mercy." Wechen didn't dare anymore. ”

Xu Lang said: "Then do you admit to threatening and insulting Xiao Fang?" ”

Zhou Shangshu said helplessly: "It was she who seduced me, and I was fooled." ”

Xiao Fang said sharply: "You are talking nonsense, I didn't seduce you at all......"

Xu Lang asked: "Zhou Shangshu, you have to explain clearly, did she seduce you, or did you coerce her?" ”

Zhou Shangshu had to admit: "It was she who seduced me and made me unable to hold ~ before threatening her." If she hadn't been born so beautiful, how could I have thought so much about her. ”

Xu Lang said angrily: "Zhou Shangshu, as a minister of the imperial court, you actually oppressed the people. When you arrive at Dali Temple, you have repeatedly quibbled, are you worthy of the official uniform on your body? Someone comes, take Lord Zhou to the prison, and wait for me to make a judgment on the saint. ”

At this moment, the post-mortem came to report: "Lord Xu, Xiao Sun was strangled to death first, and then hung in a cell, disguised as a self-judgement. ”

Xu Lang said angrily: "Lord Zheng, do you know about this matter?" ”

Dali Siqing hurriedly knelt down and said, "Weichen doesn't know. ”

Xu Lang said: "You officials protect each other and brutalize the people, and heaven cannot tolerate it. Someone came, and put Lord Zheng in prison to wait for the Holy Lord's verdict. ”

Xiao Fang knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Thank you, my lord, for avenging the people's daughter." ”

The onlookers also said:

"What kind of world is this, even the daughter-in-law of the family will not let go."

"That's it, Lord Zhou is simply inferior to a beast."

"Fortunately, there is Lord Xu, otherwise they will protect each other, and Xiao Sun will not only die unjustly, but Xiao Fang will also be infamous."

"It seems that Lord Zheng and Lord Zhou are going to be unlucky."

Xu Lang said: "The emperor will retry this case, you all go back!" ”

He also said to Xiao Fang: "Mrs. Sun, please mourn, people cannot be resurrected after death." What are your plans for the future? ”

Xiao Fang said: "My husband is the only support, he is gone, what is the point of my life." He hid his face and wept bitterly.

Xu Lang said: "I only complain about Zhou Shangshu's human face and beast heart." Why don't I send you to Yizhuang! ”

Xiao Fang shook his head and said, "My husband still has a little savings, and I want to watch the person who killed my husband get punishment and retribution." Otherwise, I won't go anywhere. ”

Xu Lang looked at Xiao Fang, she had the same background as Peony, which made him inevitably feel pity. It's a pity that she didn't meet a man like him.

He said: "Then how about I go to the inn to open a room for you, wait for them to subjugate, and then send you to Yizhuang?" ”

Xiao Fang said: "How can I trouble Lord Xu again, you have helped me a lot by helping my husband to avenge his grievances." You don't have to worry about me, I'll take care of myself. ”

Xu Lang said: "You are a weak woman, your identity is sensitive, I will help you say hello, those people will not dare to make a mistake to you." ”

Xiao Fang thought of those people's fingers, and finally nodded and said, "Thank you Lord Xu for your care." I'll pay for the money. ”

Xu Lang found a cheaper inn, and when she paid for it, Xiao Fang was a little hesitant, but she still paid for a month's room.

Xu Lang wanted to help her pay, but Xiao Fang refused: "Lord Xu, this is not appropriate." We're not related, and you've helped me a lot. ”

He gave up and settled Xiao Fang before he returned home.

After Pei Shengyuan learned about this case, he was extremely angry, he didn't expect that Zhou Shangshu would be so bold and dare to blatantly oppress the people. also dared to collude with Dali Siqing and kill people in prison.

Zhou Shangshu and Master Zheng knew that the matter was irreparable, so they had to confess their guilt.

They killed people, and the impact was bad, Pei Shengyuan sentenced him to behead after the autumn. Although their families were not implicated, they could not stay in Beijing and returned to their hometowns to live again.

Within a month, the DPRK lost two ministers in a row. And they were all the people who strongly supported Li An'an as the prince and pushed him to the forefront.

Those who are officials have a very sensitive sense of smell, and they know that the little prince is getting full. If you dare to go against him now, you may end up like Wen Shangshu, Zhou Shangshu and Master Zheng in the future.

Except for those who have always remained neutral, many other officials are secretly approaching him, An An knows nothing about it, and those officials who are interested in stammering, he also excuses himself on the grounds that he is busy with affairs.

Zheng Li was also very anxious, they planned so carefully, how could they let An An seize the handle, and now several officials who strongly supported them were dismissed, and he was already isolated. The officials who saw the eldest prince gaining power before and stammered with them are now avoided.

She is in the deep palace, unable to communicate with the outside world, her father has retired, and her brother has no power. Only now can I pin my hopes on the eldest prince, hoping that he can establish greater feats in the army and win over General Zuo, then they still have bargaining chips to compete with An An.

Pei Shengyuan also had doubts about these cases, why several officials committed crimes less than a month after An An came back.

He called Xu Lang and Zhang Shuo over and wanted to discuss the relationship behind them with them.

These officials supported him on the surface, but if you think about it carefully, they actually killed An An and pushed him to a disadvantage.

Could it be that An An is manipulating all this behind his back?

Pei Shengyuan said: "Do you think who is behind all this? ”

Xu Lang said: "They are all greedy for money and lustful, and it is a matter of time before they are found out, and it is impossible to hide them for a lifetime." It just happened during the time when An An returned to Beijing. ”

Zhang Shuo said: "The lowly post has checked the whereabouts of the little prince, and there is nothing abnormal. He just went out with the two young ladies of the Zhang family, and other officials wanted to make friends with him, but he refused. ”

Xu Lang said: "That's right! He was in the barracks at the age of twelve, and it was only a month since he came back, how could he manipulate all this. Those officials have nothing to do with him, Your Majesty, I think you are too worried. ”

Pei Shengyuan thought for a while and said, "But things are too strange. What are the recent movements between the DPRK and China? ”

Zhang Shuo said: "Everything is as usual, but some officials are estimated to see the little prince as the king and want to go to the knot." But the little prince did not meet any of the officials. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "This doesn't make sense, with his current situation, he should make more friends with officials, why did he refuse them all?" ”

Zhang Shuo said: "Presumably he didn't care about this. He is only thirteen years old, if he understands the things in officialdom. He doesn't want to deal with these officials! ”

Xu Lang said: "Yes, those officials were punished, they deserved it, if it was really the little prince's doing, it was also for the people." ”

Pei Sheng saw them say this, and he didn't know what he meant when he thought about it, so he stopped dwelling on it. Even if An An did it, it means that he already intends to take charge of the affairs of the DPRK. He really has this ability, presumably in the future, the imperial capital will be even busier and more prosperous.

He Shengnan woke up the next day and saw Sun Liang sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her.

Seeing her wake up, he smiled and said, "Katsuo, you're awake, I've prepared a meal, let's eat first!" ”

He Shengnan said yes and went to wash. Then the two of them sat down to eat.

Sun Liang saw that she was still indifferent, so he said: "Shengnan, you said that we will go on like this forever, isn't it also good." ”

He Shengnan said: "How is it possible? I'm going back to the palace. Isn't it nice to see you once a month? ”

Sun Liang said: "You can't be in the palace for the rest of your life. When you get tired of it, shall we live in seclusion here? ”

He Shengnan still said lightly: "Then let's talk about it then!" ”

After a brief meal, she said goodbye, "I'm leaving, and I'll come back on the first day of next month." ”

Sun Liang took her hand and said reluctantly: "Shengnan, I can't bear you." ”

He Shengnan saw that it was still early, so he said, "Then do you still want it?" I'll go back later. ”

Sun Liang was completely speechless and said, "Katsunan, is your heart really made of iron?" I don't have a shortage of women, and you don't have to do this kind of thing. I love you, you know? ”

He Shengnan looked at him, and said after a while: "If you don't want it, I'll leave first." ”

Sun Liang was enraged and said, "Okay! If you have to think so about me, come on! ”

He was no longer gentle with her, pushed her to the bed very roughly, and just went straight in. He Shengnan gritted his teeth in pain at first, but after a while, he got used to it and felt a little happy.

Sun Liang was even more angry when he saw that she had been forbearing. He kept picking up speed until he was exhausted.

He Shengnan was also very tired from him, and fell asleep after a while after it was over.

Sun Liang still sleeps with her, he loves her in the end.

He Shengnan woke up again, it was too late, and she didn't see Sun Liang. That's fine, or you'll have to deal with him.

She simply went to wash up and hurried to the palace.

Seeing her leave, Sun Liang came out from behind a big tree, looking at her back as she left, Sun Liang had to admit that she really didn't have any nostalgia for herself!
