Chapter 108: Dog Eats Dog

After a long time, Bai Lingchen dragged his wet body ashore, and he turned over and lay on the dry cold hard ground, letting the cold swallow him.

The Seoul epidemic is the masterpiece of the Lingyou Pavilion, he had expected that Tang Meng's temperament would not sit idly by, so he found an excuse to live in the palace in advance in order to be able to stop her at any time and prevent her from risking life and death, and later saw that he couldn't stop him, so he fed her the antidote in advance, and now because he was afraid of continuing to live and exposing his feet, he hurriedly found a reason to leave.

Bai Lingchen smiled bitterly.

He had already done so many evil things in the Spirit Pavilion, I was afraid that the thoughts he had hidden from Tang Meng in his heart would no longer be able to be made public.

But he would rather not get Tang Meng, and he would never allow her to be a member of the Duan family!

Early the next morning, many ministers entered the palace early, and after a few months, the early court was reopened again, and each minister had his own thoughts.

Especially when they knew that Gao Nan was going to be interrogated today, many officials couldn't sit still.

Although Gao Nan is a member of the army, he is Lin Meng's cronies, and this secretary of the military department has asked Gao Nan to do many shady things for him, which involves many low-level officials.

Lin Meng was even more frightened that he went to sit at the gate of King Xun's Mansion last night, and Duan Jingxun was angry when he saw him, and he didn't show any good face on this part of the road.

Emperor Duan announced the reward and punishment of the epidemic in public with a calm face, he rewarded Xu Yu and Jiang Lie with a mansion in the imperial city, Chen Guang was also promoted by half a rank, and the people who went out with Duan Jingyi were all gifted.

Duan Jingxun secretly clenched his fists while listening, after that, everyone had to say how powerful King Yi was, especially those people in the army who were not all eager to squeeze into Duan Jingyi's army, who would still put him, His Royal Highness, in their eyes?

After dealing with these matters, Emperor Duan's words changed, "Come on, bring the traitor Gao Nan to me!" ”

The sound of begging for mercy outside the hall was getting closer, and after a while, Gao Nan was tied up and thrown on the main hall, and before Emperor Duan asked, he trembled like chaff while crying and begging for mercy, and with his confession, all the letters that Lin Meng wrote to him were presented to Emperor Duan.

"Lin Meng!"

"Minister, minister!" Lin Meng staggered out of the column and knelt down, he didn't raise his head as if he was endorsing, and said all the words of counterattack that had been prepared a long time ago, "Your Majesty Mingjian, these letters are all forged by Gao Nan, Weichen does know him, but it is only in the official matter of arranging military defense, but this thief says that it is Weichen's cronies who are swaggering and deceiving everywhere, and Weichen also hates him to the bone!" ”

"Lord Lin, how can you turn your face and deny people, it is clear that you asked me to kill Hu Ding to block the news, and said that I would rather put the people of Seoul in it than leak the news of the epidemic! Aren't you just Mingzhe to protect yourself, afraid that something will happen to me and implicate you! ”

Lin Meng was shocked, he didn't even look at Gao Nan, he just thought about Emperor Duan in a panic, "The thief is talking nonsense, and I also ask Your Majesty to see if there is a name of Weichen in that letter, Weichen has offended Gao Nan once because of his impartiality, he must have wanted to kill Weichen for his personal vendetta when he saw that there was no way to live!" Your Majesty! ”

Lin Meng kowtowed vigorously as he spoke, and the sound of knocking echoed in the main hall, making people extremely panicked.

Emperor Duan pointed to the letter and said to Gonggong Su beside him, "Go, find me this one named Wang Sai." ”

Duan Jingyi took advantage of this time to look at Duan Jingxun, and knew the answer when he saw that he was calm.

Sure enough, a moment later, someone went to the palace to reply, saying that the guilty minister Wang Sai had committed suicide at home, and there was a suicide note left by him.

Lin Meng knelt on the ground, and after hearing this, he quietly bent the corners of his mouth in the dark, and he covered his eyes with a sad expression, "Your Majesty Mingjian, it turns out that everything is a ghost made by Wang Sai, Weichen really has nothing to do with this matter, and I hope that Your Majesty will execute thieves like Gao Nan as soon as possible to comfort the people!" ”

Gao Nan was stupid, before he came back, he was still fantasizing about whether Lin Meng could save his life, but he didn't expect that now it was the first time he asked to open his mouth to execute himself, Gao Nan looked at the people on the side in shock, and the anger of being abandoned rushed straight to his brain.

"Your Majesty! The criminal reported Lin Meng's son Lin Yue for embezzling military salaries, and I hope Your Majesty will find out! ”

As soon as these words came out, Duan Jingyi hooked his lips and smiled, if he wanted to blame Lin Meng, he was too anxious to clear himself, so that he could see such a dog-eat-dog drama without a single soldier.

"You talk nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, the criminal has already handed over the evidence to Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department! Lin Yue asked me to borrow money in debt, and when he saw that I had no money, he instigated to embezzle military salaries, and the criminal didn't dare at first, he was willing to set up a note in order to get the money quickly, Your Majesty, you will know it at a glance! ”

As he spoke, Li Kang presented the new evidence, as Gao Nan said, there was not only a loan note signed by Lin Yue, but also a note of embezzlement.

Lin Meng didn't know if what was going on, he watched in horror as the notes were opened one by one, until Emperor Duan slapped the table.

He sat down in the court.

"Lin Meng, look at the good son you taught!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, this must have been fabricated, and the Wechen family has been loyal for generations......"

"You dare to say that it is fabricated in black and white! And your son's handprint! ”

Duan Jingxun turned his head to look at Duan Jingyi angrily, his teeth itched with hatred, he didn't calculate that Duan Jingyi would make a fuss about Lin Yue, so he didn't need to move Lin Meng's position at all, as long as he killed his son, Lin Meng would naturally collapse, and he would no longer be able to help him meddle in the affairs of the army.

Duan Jingxun gritted his teeth, and finally took a step forward, "Father, son, minister......"

"Second brother, are you going to speak for Lin Meng?" Emperor Duan's cold voice remembered, Duan Jingxun was full of excitement, and he immediately buried his head, "Erchen has no such intention, Gao Nan harmed the people of many cities in the south, and Erchen proposed to set an example for him!" ”

The blood on Gao Nan's face suddenly receded, and before he could open his mouth, he was frightened when he saw Duan Jingyi also stepped forward and saluted.

"Erchen also has this intention, but Gao Nan reported that he was a capital crime, and he asked his father to open the net and behead him."

Emperor Duan's gloomy gaze swept over all the people in His Highness, and he sighed angrily, "Just do what Jing Yi says." ”

"Erchen also has a reluctant request, the people of Seoul hate Gao Nan to the core, and ask his father, Brigadier En, to escort him back to Seoul and behead him to show the public."

"Yes! Li Kang! ”

"The minister is here!"

"You take these evidences back, and immediately interrogate Lin Yue, and you must clearly show me that there must be no trace of misjudgment and concealment! I'd like to see who made the military department into a miasma! ”

Lin Meng sweated like rain, and he had already lost his backbone in a panic, and the Lin family had passed on Lin Yue for generations, and Lin Yue was his only son who had been spoiled since he was a child, so he couldn't bear the hardships of the prison of the Criminal Department.

As soon as he wanted to get up and beg for mercy, he saw a gesture from Duan Jingxun at the front of the hall.
