Tang Zhongye paused, and then said solemnly: "Shengshang, at this time, Weichen has found a witness, and now he is outside the side hall, and I also ask Shengshang to allow Weichen to call him in and explain this matter in detail." ”

Tang Zhongye finished saying a series of words, but he didn't dare to look at Wen Yiheng from beginning to end, and even kept facing Wen Yiheng sideways, not showing people in front.

Emperor Tianduo's expression became more and more serious, and he responded: "Biography." ”

A person walked in from outside the side hall, wearing the official uniform of the Qipin County Order, but he was neither humble nor arrogant when he entered the side hall at this time, and it seemed that there was indeed something to say. The man walked into the hall and had all the courtesies: "Wu Runhao, the chief of Lintong, the lower official, please give peace to the saint." Long live my emperor, long live. ”

"The long history of Lintong? Wu Runhao... I remember you, are you Wu Runhao who built a palace in Huizhong County? ”

Wu Runhao replied respectfully: "Returning to the saint, it is the lower official. But what the saint didn't know was that the palace was built by Wen Xiang at the behest of his subordinates. ”

Regarding the matter of instructing Wu Runhao to build a palace in Huizhong County, Wen Yiheng did not deny it:

At that time, the saint led the harem Niangniang to Lishan to escape the summer, and the Xigong Yu Niangniang learned that she would pass through her hometown to return to Zhong County, so she asked the lower officials to build a palace, and the Yu Niangniang could have a place to stay when she returned to her hometown. That's why Weichen found Wu County's order and instructed him to act according to the order. ”

The Jade Niangniang mentioned by Wen Yiheng was still Xigong Niangniang three years ago, but in the past three years, she was disgusted by Emperor Tianduo because of foreign reasons, and now she has been beaten into the cold palace and has become an out-and-out madman.

Wu Runhao shook his head and denied: "Wen Xiang, when you instructed your subordinates to build a palace, you didn't say that. ”

After Wen Yiheng carefully looked Wu Runhao up and down, he said calmly: "So, in your memory, how I told you at that time, I am also interested in wanting to know." ”

Wu Runhao met Wen Yiheng's eyes, and immediately dodged: "At that time, Xia Guan had just made the silver to be able to take refuge with you, and suddenly received a secret letter from you. The letter stated that the saint would inevitably go to the Lishan Mausoleum at the northern foot to pay tribute to the first emperor during his summer trip to the west. ”

"When you return to Beijing after the first emperor is worshipped, you will definitely pass by Huizhong County. At that time, you will get a place thirty miles north of Huizhong County. You ordered the subordinate officials to build a palace there, the more beautiful the west, the better, in order to favor Bo Shengshang and Niangniang. ”

Tang Zhongye deliberately asked, "Later, under the instruction of Wen Xiang, you really built the palace at the designated location according to the instructions?" ”

Emperor Tianduo fell into his memories and said slowly: "When I returned to Beijing, I did pass through Huizhong County, and that palace was indeed built extremely beautifully, like a treasure of the Moon Palace, and I also spent a few beautiful and unforgettable days with Yuhe there..."

Wu Runhao waited for Emperor Tianduo to come back to his senses before continuing to elaborate: "It is precisely because the saint sighed that the palace is beautiful and chic, so he summoned the lower officials and exchanged a few words of greetings. ”

After that, Xia Guan ascended to the sky in one step and was promoted to the governor of the lower governor. When Wen Xiang learned the news of Xia Guan's promotion, he wrote a letter again, suggesting that Xia Guan's promotion was related to Wen Xiang, and Xia Guan was grateful for this and immediately sent Wen Xiang a huge amount of silver taels. ”

"When other officials saw that the lower official gave gifts to Wen Xiang, and learned that Wen Xiang could make Xia Guan promote to the governor of the lower governor, they asked the lower officials about the way to give gifts to Wen Xiang."

After speaking, Wu Runhao took out a few letters and bluntly said that they were written by Wen Yiheng: "These letters are the secret letters written by Wen Xiang to the lower officials at that time. The Holy Lord can send someone to check whether the handwriting on the letter is from Wen Xiang's hand, so as to confirm that what the lower official said is true. ”

Liu Defeng handed the letter to Emperor Tianduo, and Emperor Tianduo opened the letter and took a cursory look, it seemed that it was indeed Wen Yiheng's handwriting, so Liu Defeng took the letter to the master for careful examination.

Emperor Tianduo looked at Wen Yiheng and Wu Runhao standing in front of the hall, and neither of them had the slightest hint of weakness, so he asked Wu Runhao:

"You claimed that you originally took refuge in Zichu's sect, why did you ask Tang Aiqing to impeach and report for you today? Didn't you say that you know how to repay your kindness? Why do you choose to betray the Shangguan who helped you again? ”

Wu Runhao was not stopped by Emperor Tianduo, and explained indifferently: "Wen Xiang, as the senior official who once helped promote the lower officials, provided the lower officials with an internal piece of information, and put the opportunity for performance promotion in front of the lower officials, and the lower officials are indeed very grateful. ”

"Xia Guan did repay Wen Xiang's 'good deeds'. However, when the lower official looked back, he realized that in fact, Wen Xiang's acceptance of gifts from the lower official was an act of transgression. Such an act of accepting bribes endangers the country, so the lower officials took the risk to report it in order to have a clear conscience. ”

Wen Yiheng still looked calm: "Since you have a clear conscience, why do you dare not look into my eyes from beginning to end, just like Lord Tang?" ”

Wen Yiheng turned to Emperor Tianduo and said, "Holy Lord, since Wei Chen entered the side hall, he has always listened to Lord Tang and this Lord Wu talking. Now that they have finished speaking, the saint will not let go and listen to the words of Wei Chen, so that he can not listen to and believe partially, right? ”

The crown prince Yun Mulin objected: "Today, my father said that you were going to ask you for your guilt, where is there still a chance for you to repeat your words?" ”

Emperor Tianduo was a little impatient but couldn't take Wen Yiheng, so he could only wave his hand and urge: "Okay, just listen to you, lest you scold me behind your back and only listen to other people's words and mistakenly believe slander." ”

After receiving the consent of Emperor Tianduo, Wen Yiheng walked in front of Wu Runhao, looked at Wu Runhao, and said with an unmoving face: Qishu e-book

"At that time, I did mention to you that the Holy Church passed through Huizhong County, but I never specified where it was built. At that time, I was just doing what my mother told me, not to curry favor with the saint and the queen mother, to promote you to be promoted, and then accept bribes. ”

"And it is true that after you, many officials came to the Guogong Mansion to give gifts, but they were all turned away by me, and I did not accept bribes from those officials... As for the so-called 'secret letters' and money that you have provided to the Holy Being, they are all false. ”

Prince Yun Mulin snorted coldly: "Is it a fake secret letter, is it from you, I believe that it will be decided soon, Wen Xiang does not need to be in such a hurry to clear up the relationship." As for the money you embezzled, it is very likely that you will spend it......"

Emperor Tianduo pondered for a while and slowly spoke: "Since Taizu, corruption and bribery have always been a serious crime in our dynasty. There are always suspicions of guilt, and now the officials have jointly reported you for corruption and bribery, so that everyone around you is around, whether you are innocent or guilty, I will put you in prison pending trial. ”

"If you have evidence to prove your innocence, to prove that it was Wu Runhao who wronged you, I will avenge your grievances; If you are really guilty, as the prime minister of the court, and you are familiar with the laws of our court, you should also know how I will deal with those who are corrupt and take bribes. ”

At this point, Wen Yiheng was ordered by Emperor Tianduo to be sent to the prison, and Su Jiudong, who was full of expectations, could not wait for Wen Yiheng to return to the mansion today.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

The news of Wen Yiheng's detention quickly spread through the streets and alleys of the capital.

At that time, Shangshu, who was in a high position and above 10,000 people under one person, made the prime minister Wen Yiheng, suddenly become a prisoner with no human rights, and may even be beheaded...

After the news of Wen Yiheng's detention was transmitted back to the National Mansion, Wen Sibo first expressed his opinion: "Brother is too ruthless in his daily life, but now he has an accident, and the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing him, so that a large number of officials jointly impeached him and boycotted him, which shows the failure of the eldest brother's life." ”

"Ah Heng is not the kind of person you said, there must be another hidden story behind this matter...... Su Jiudong had no time to argue with Wen Sibo, so he persuaded Zhu Guogong to get a chance to visit the prison for her, and first go to the prison to find Wen Yiheng to understand the situation before making a final conclusion.

Su Fenglan has always remained neutral, and Wen Yiheng is on the cusp of the storm at this time, so he does not agree with Su Jiudong to go directly to see Wen Yiheng as a young lady in the General's Mansion.

So Su Jiudong could only go to visit the prison after some disguise.

In the prison, the jailer appeared in front of Wen Yiheng's cell with an old woman.

Wen Yiheng immediately recognized that the old lady in front of him was Su Jiudong: "It's you?" …… Aunt Liu, why do you have time to come and see me? ”

Su Jiudong said with a dumb voice: "You are a child I brought up, I grew up watching you grow up, and now you are suffering here, can I not come and take a look... I still remember when you were a child, you couldn't breastfeed, and you sprinkled my ......"

The jailer was too lazy to watch and listen to these short things in the parents, and only reminded the "old woman" Su Jiudong to remember the time regulations for the visit, and then left.

Su Jiudong saw Wen Yiheng pass the linen jersey out of the handsome boy style of Liuxue HSBC, and he had to sigh, he was good-looking, and even wearing the most gray prison uniform could lead the trend.

Wen Yiheng beckoned Su Jiudong to squat down, briefly explained the incident, and then whispered a few words beside Su Jiudong.

Su Jiudong was immediately surprised: "There are so many people who can help you, why are you looking for him?" ”

Wen Yiheng looked at the left and right sides, signaled Su Jiudong not to be quiet, lowered his voice and said: "In the entire Great Yin Dynasty, except for Emperor Tianduo and my rival Yun Mulin, there is no one with more energy than me as the prime minister, who else can really help me?" ”

Su Jiudong was still puzzled: "But why did you ask Yun Mulin to help you?" He wants you to die right away. ”

"The first person I thought of was him, and this was just a dangerous move." Wen Yiheng nodded the tip of Su Jiudong's nose and said softly: "If you really want to save me from this ghost place, just do what I say, I will definitely not disappoint you." ”

On the night when Su Jiudong disguised himself as an old woman to visit Wen Yiheng, Tang Zhongye rushed to the East Palace overnight and handed a letter to the prince.

This mysterious letter was sent by Su Jiudong to Ding Xuming to deliver it to the door of Shang Shufu's house. This letter was not signed, there was no signature, only the name and surname were asked to Tang Zhongye to hand over to the prince Yun Mulin.

Yun Mulin looked at the blank envelope in Tang Zhongye's hand, and said disapprerovitically: "What is this kind of letter worth it for you to come to me in the middle of the night?" Maybe it's a child's handiwork. ”

Tang Zhongye said excitedly: "This letter is a whistle-blowing letter, if the prince has read the contents of the letter, he will not be disappointed." ”

Yun Mulin reluctantly scolded Tang Zhongye in his heart, "The bad old man has a lot of", and then he opened the letter and read it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became.
