Chapter 136: The Dust Settles
The deeper you go, the more cramped and cold you become.
In the dead corner compartment, the small iron window on the wall penetrated the moonlight, and the palm-sized moon shadow was cast on the ground and faint and big, and Wang Bao, who was sitting cross-legged, was caged into the beam, cold and quiet, and the single clothes full of dried blood stains were torn and thin, but they were so neat that they could not see a trace of chaos, not like a prisoner under the stairs, but like an ordinary old lady who was closing his eyes and recuperating.
Hearing the familiar footsteps, Wang Bao opened his eyes and looked out of the cell, "Ah Zhen is here." ”
The tone was as gentle and loving as Wei Wuxie, but his heart sank straight down, he was waiting for Wei Wuxie, but it was Kong Zhen who came.
The emperor knew that Kong Zhen was his righteous son, and when he asked Kong Zhen to come at this time, he could only come to him...... Final.
Wang Bao's eyes burst into light, and he stared closely at Kong Zhen, who was approaching step by step.
Hearing this, the guards were busy looking at their noses and noses, and they opened the lock and retreated, silently avoiding the distance.
"Father-in-law." Kong Zhen's tone was the same as usual, and he put the steaming wine and meat in front of Wang Bao, and unfolded a confession, "Before your father-in-law eats enough and goes on the road, please draw a pledge on the confession." ”
Wang Bao didn't seem to be able to hear, looked at Kong Zhen and said with a smile: "Ah Zhen, you may not know everything what your father-in-law has done and what he hasn't done, but Wei Xiang knows it clearly." The rebels in Jiangnan are making a strange fuss, and no matter how much the father-in-law connives, it is impossible for them to call the father-"
The word Chitose was crushed and swallowed by him between his teeth, and a strange sound came out of his throat, and he opened his mouth again as if he had been stepped on by someone on his trachea, and said in a broken voice: "Ah Zhen, you go back and tell Wei Xiang these words." The emperor is angry with his father-in-law, and now only Wei Xiang can help his father-in-law speak. ”
Kong Zhen didn't seem to hear his threat, and shook his head lightly: "The Sacred Heart has been decided, and Teacher Shu is powerless." ”
Wang Bao's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, the white hair and sweat that suddenly rose were sticky and cold, and his heart suddenly moved under the agitation, as if he understood something, he suddenly grabbed Kong Zhen's clothes, and his eyes were frighteningly bright, "It's you!" It's Wei Xiang! Did you fall into the well and frame me?! ”
Kong Zhen's eyebrows moved slightly, and the corners of his lips curved into a touch of mockery, "If I say no, you won't believe it, right?" ”
His indifference seemed to infect Wang Bao, and he suddenly let go of his hand just like he suddenly made a difficulty, and even straightened Kong Zhen's clothes, and a strange laugh rolled out of his throat, "Okay! Very good! No matter who harms me, I will pull someone on my back even if I die. You must remember to convey these words to Wei Xiang word for word. ”
"Don't bother." Kong Zhen bent over Wang Bao and whispered a laugh in his ear, "The big boxes of snuff bottles that you loved to collect and play with in the past were not searched by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, nor were they sent to the emperor. It's all in the hands of the teacher. If you want to pull people back, you also want to see the emperor get evidence, right? ”
Wang Bao thought he was hiding well, but unfortunately, his righteous son was not an ornament.
After many years of defense, how could he allow Wang Bao to reach a dead end, and he still wanted to drag the Wei family into the quagmire together?
As soon as Wang Bao heard the word snuffbox, he knew that the only thing he kept was not only broken by Kong Zhen, but also fell into the hands of Wei Wuxie.
The light in his eyes quickly dimmed layer by layer, but the red light burst out on his face, tearing the confession like a madman, and screaming sharply with tears in his eyes, "You want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?!" Don't! Don't! Get out of here! Let Wei Xiang come! Let Wei Xiang talk to me! ”
Kong Zhen didn't look at the torn confession, sighed helplessly, walked out of the cell to recruit the guards, and actually took out a complete confession, "It will save trouble if you draw down after death." ”
He stretched off his shirt and strode away, and the words he left echoed in the gloomy prison, "The emperor has an order, and the capital punishment is waiting." ”
"I want to see the emperor! I want to see the emperor! Wang Bao pounced on the cell door, and his nails clutching the iron railing broke with a crisp sound, "Kong Zhen! You don't have to die well! Wei Wuxian! Wei dog eggs! Son of a bitch! I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost! ”
The curses were so terrible and vicious that they seemed to come from the abyss of hell.
It should have been chilling, but ...... Wei dog or something, it's too down-to-earth.
Why is it so funny to scold?
Lord Wang, who used to run rampant in the government and the opposition, where does he still have the slightest bit of decency, but he is like a rough old man who jumps and scolds his second grandson.
It's so ruining the atmosphere!
The guard who turned around couldn't hold back his snort, turned his head and whispered to his colleagues: "Emperor Shengming, fortunately, I gave Wei Xiang a good word early." ”
The colleague couldn't help laughing and didn't dare to talk more, and took the guy to open the cell door again, and the faces of the two of them who were still smiling were hidden in the backlight, full of bloodthirsty killing intent.
Wang Bao nodded to the ground, the wind and rain set off by the Feiyuwei case came and rested quickly, and in less than half a month, the dust settled.
When the inner yamen with the imperial seal was opened again, it had been renovated and renovated, and it was changed into a small courtyard where the forbidden army in the palace was on duty.
Exocet no longer exists.
Some courtiers sighed and some cheered, and before the people and officials who had been persecuted by the Flying Fish Guard celebrated, two pieces of news came out of the palace one after another.
Wei Xiang was deceived by Wang Bao, and as the first assistant of the cabinet, he could not escape the crime of negligence, and was fined for three years, and returned to the court on the same day to end thinking about it behind closed doors.
To the surprise of the courtiers, Chu Yanqing was summoned by the emperor to the imperial study in the middle of the night, and was scolded for a full hour.
Nian Qian'an was a little dumbfounded, "You heard me right, right?" The six princes didn't have a reward, but they were scolded? ”
Chen Xi, who once again incarnated as an ear to report to God, was also a little dumbfounded, "If you don't do the right thing, where do the slaves dare to talk nonsense to the girl." The minions didn't believe it either! I specially asked the little eunuch who had a friendship in the flower and bird room, and it was spread all over the palace, and the emperor ordered Wang Bao to be punished with capital punishment, and the six princes were called into the imperial study with the back foot. ”
This time the scolding was very ugly, pointing directly at Chu Yanqing's eagerness for quick success, selling fame and reputation, and winning the hearts of the people, plus a ruthless heart.
Regardless of the other three, the four words of winning the hearts of the people are not something that mortals can afford.
Nian Qian'an listened to Chen Xi's euphemistic relay, and inexplicably felt that Chu Yanqing was a pitiful.
Although the emperor's idiom is very slippery, are you sure you didn't use the wrong place to scold the wrong person?
The four princes have made meritorious contributions in solving a fake case, and it is Chu Yanqing's turn to work hard to eliminate harm for the people and the country, how can he be guilty?
The emperor's dragon brain is really different from normal people.
But why did the emperor abuse her first love!
The emperor is the emperor.
After Nian Qian'an finished asking and answering himself, he suddenly had a troubled expression on his face, thinking left and right that he couldn't think of anything other than having a disease in the dragon brain, so he decisively tilted towards the conspiracy theory, lowered his voice and asked, "Is Wang Bao really dead or faked?" ”
Chen Xi was so frightened that he almost covered Nian Qian'an's mouth, hurriedly shrunk his neck and shook his hands, and nodded wildly to protect the back of his neck, "It's dead!" ”
He also sneaked to see it.
Capital punishment is not a joke, Wang Bao's body was thrown in a mass grave, and the wild dogs couldn't find a place to be.
He didn't dare to look at it again after seeing it, he couldn't believe that it was the once beautiful Lord Wang.
When he first entered the flower and bird room, he also sent birds and birds to the inner yamen, and he didn't dare to raise his head, and he could only see Wang Bao's feet under the hem of the robe, such thick boot soles, and such good-looking complements, all of which could only be worn by a high-powered eunuch, he returned to the flower and bird room in a daze, thinking day and night, when he could get out of the flower and bird room, when he could have Wang Bao's scenery, even if he survived.
Now he really walked out of the flower and bird room, and Wang Bao, who had called for wind and rain, disappeared lightly and skillfully.
I can't say that my lips are dead and my teeth are cold, but I am more at a loss.
Chen Xi thought of this, and said in a loud voice with a red face: "Six girls! Servants will serve you with all their hearts! ”
Where did Nian Qian'an guess that Chen Xi's inner drama was sublimated in an instant, and he only said casually, and the conspiracy theory attempt reminded him of the emperor's routine, "The emperor also let the six princes think about it behind closed doors?" ”
"The six princes are still watching politics in the Criminal Department." Chen Xi replied more and more attentively, "It's just that the person in charge has become the secretary of the Criminal Department." I heard that the Criminal Department was originally very lively, and after such a big case, the Six Princes eradicated silverfish like Feiyuwei in one fell swoop, and there was no dissatisfaction with the Six Princes in the Criminal Department. But the emperor sent a message, asking the six princes to listen to the book of the criminal department in the future, and the excitement was all gone......"
The officials of the Criminal Department will not alienate Chu Yanqing because of this, but as an official in the court, it is by no means based on blood and righteousness.
The emperor's meaning is very clear, let the Shangshu of the Criminal Department discipline Chu Yanqing well, teach Chu Yanqing to do things, and teach Chu Yanqing to be a man.
Even if Chu Yanqing is not transferred out of the Criminal Department, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make great achievements in the future.
The atmosphere in the Criminal Department is delicate, and there are more people coming to the side of the four princes.
Nian Qian'an had a depressed expression of "my family's first love is not a little pitiful but a big pitiful", frowned and thought about it, and asked Kong Zhen, "Why haven't you heard that Master Kong has anything to do?" ”
Chen Xi shook his head, "It's true that there is no serious hair." Now I can't call myself an adult anymore. After Kong Gongzi resigned, he was found innocent and was only demoted to white. ”
Nian Qian'an was completely dumbfounded.
Father Wei's punishment was the same as that of no punishment, but there was a good look, Kong Zhen commanded the servants and didn't even punish him?
Is it okay to find out innocent with a fluttering sentence?
Although deep down, she was secretly happy for Father Wei and Kong Zhenxiao.
However, dare to love in the end to be guilty of her family's first love?
Nian Qian'an wanted to greet the emperor's ancestors, but when he thought of Empress Dowager Chen, she silently shut up, and sent Chen Xi out of the Qifang Pavilion with her feet raised.
She couldn't figure it out, so she asked someone who could.
This time she can kill Feiyuwei, without Chu Yanqing's enlargement and Xu Yue's assist, it would be impossible to succeed so quickly and accurately, she is calculating the sacred heart and the royal face, in the final analysis, it is all an inner house method, in the past, the Wei family used her as a canary to pamper, power struggle or something, I really don't know it.
Ann and Princess must be acquainted.
And Princess An He is also very familiar with the emperor, and when he was a child, he studied in the palace together.
As a result, it was rare that Princess Anhe, who was tired of thinking about the horse, was not there, and the subordinates of Ronghua Courtyard said affectionately: "The princess took Mama Liu to the next door to discuss the Mid-Autumn Festival with the old lady." ”
The corners of Nian Qian'an's mouth twitched.
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are a little magical, and when they celebrate the New Year and the festival, it is about equal to the war-free day, and there are always two or three days a year when they can sit and discuss housework with a fake smile, as if there has never been a discord.
Princess Anhe's operation is even more sassy than that of the emperor.
Nian Qian'an suddenly lost his temper and asked hopelessly, "My father accompanied my mother?" ”
"Master Ma is in the glazed pavilion in the outer courtyard." The subordinate observed the words and looks, and saw that Nian Qian'an seemed to be unhappy, and hurriedly replied: "Ming'er is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the master of the horse is also going to enter the palace to receive the banquet." Today, I sent the steward to buy a banquet in advance, and I was entertaining the literati and guests in the house, which could be regarded as accompanying them for the holiday. ”
Nian Qian'an's eyes lit up, and he was about to go straight to the Liuli Pavilion, when he was hugged by the frightened Nian Qiuran, "It's not too late to ask the sixth sister if she has something to do when the horse comes back." Most of the borrowed people in the outer courtyard are scholars who have taken refuge in the princess's mansion, and they are no older than those Qingke, so they can't trespass. What if I bump into a foreign man who doesn't have long eyes? ”
The subordinate calls Shengwen people purely polite words, but in fact, many of them are down-and-out poor scholars.
Who knows if there are any other people in it?
Nian Qian'an nodded, "Don't worry, I don't plan to break in." ”
As he spoke, he didn't break Nian Qiuran's hand, he simply turned his body upside down, looking like he wanted to carry Nian Qiuran's posture, which made Nian Qiuran laugh sharply.
In desperation, he had to give up his life to accompany the sixth sister, and floated out of the second door with the big girls with Nian Qian'an.
The long attendant who was guarding outside the Liuli Pavilion widened his eyes: Why did the little ancestor of the sixth girl come?
also with four girls.
Well, it's really an auspicious day for the zodiac.
