The whistleblower letter sent by Tang Zhongye overnight listed the evidence of Wen Yiheng's intention to "rebel" in the past six years after he became prime minister.

Yun Mulin read the letter and was overjoyed: "It's like when you dozed off, someone handed you a pillow, we just 'gently' sued Wen Yiheng for a crime of embezzlement and bribery, at most ten or twenty years, Wen Yiheng can come out." ”

But this rebellion is different, rebellion is a serious crime, and attempting to rebel is also punished as the same crime! If Wen Yiheng can be dragged into the water with this letter this time, not only will he be beheaded in the future, but people related to him will also be punished......"

Staff member Fan Jinshan was also overjoyed: "Wonderful! This is indeed a great opportunity to eradicate Wen Yiheng's influence in the DPRK and China in one fell swoop! ”

Yun Mulin couldn't help but start flying out of the sky, fantasizing about the situation after Wen Yiheng was executed by Emperor Tianduo:

"As long as Wen Yiheng falls, the forces on his side will be leaderless and chaotic, and then we can look for opportunities to break them one by one, and persuade all those stupid ministers to fall under my forces, and in the future, only I will have the final say in this court, hahaha......"

Yun Mulin and Tang Zhongye were excited to receive this "key" whistleblower letter, but they didn't know that this whistleblower letter was from Wen Yiheng's instructions and Su Jiudong's handwriting.

At that time, in prison, Wen Yiheng asked Su Jiudong to secretly deliver this whistleblower letter to Tang Zhongye.

Yun Mulin went through the letter from beginning to end again, and he was eager to present the letter to Emperor Tianduo immediately. Fan Jinshan stopped Yun Mulin, who was a little carried away by the excitement for a while, and admonished:

"Prince, for the time being, there is no hurry to hand over the whistleblower letter to the saint... Wen Yiheng's 'corruption and bribery' is a sure thing under our manipulation, but this rebellion is only a piece of paper of unknown origin, which is not enough to convince the saint. ”

Yun Mulin was suddenly pulled back to reality by Fan Jinshan's illusion, and slowly returned to his senses: "What is Mr. Fan's opinion?" ”

Fan Jinshan said in a deep voice: "A whistleblower letter alone is not enough to convince people, if Wen Yiheng can be made to confess his guilt on the whistleblower letter and admit that he does covet the throne and intends to rebel, the situation will be very different." Whether or not Wen Yiheng can be brought down in one fell swoop is all in this move. ”

Tang Zhongye asked: "This whistleblower letter, it is estimated that Wen Yiheng's subordinate officials learned that he was imprisoned in the prison, and they wanted to surrender to us when they saw that the situation was not good, so they made this move." This letter is very unfavorable to Wen Yiheng, how can he admit that he intends to rebel..."

"Wen Yiheng's weakness is his family, and he attaches great importance to Zhu Guogong. We can use this as a guide to say that as long as Wen Yiheng is willing to confess, we promise to open the Zhuguo Mansion after his death, and trick Wen Yiheng into confessing his guilt and being detained. ”

Fan Jinshan's eyes flashed with cold light, and the corners of his mouth pouted with an indifferent evil smile: "The Zhuguo Mansion has my eyes and ears, and I accidentally learned a secret of Wen Yiheng before. If Wen Yiheng still refuses to admit to the rebellion, I still have a future move. ”

It was night, damp and cold in the damp and cold prison, and the moonlight that poured into the small window set off a clear light and condensation.

Wen Yiheng was lying on the prison bed with peace of mind, bathed in the cold moonlight, and closed his eyes quietly. At this time, a jailer came to call out, saying that someone wanted to see Wen Yiheng.

Wen Yiheng sat up indifferently from the bed, only to see a person wearing a thick cloak appear in front of him, his face hidden in the darkness under the cloak and hat.

Although Wen Yiheng didn't see the face of the person who came, he could see through the identity of the person at a glance when he laid out the plan: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace." It must be an important thing to be able to work when the prince visits the prison in the middle of the night. ”

"Wise people don't speak dark words! Wen Xiang, you and I are both smart people, and we can understand it at one point. Yun Mulin walked into the prison door, raised his head, his eyes were still hidden in the shadow of his hat, only the straight bridge of his nose and thin lips were exposed in the moonlight, and said coldly:

"I came here to bring good news to Wen Xiang, since you were imprisoned, many people in your house have fled, and the officials who originally supported you have also surrendered to me. Among them, someone sent me a whistleblower letter. ”

"Oh? Whistleblowing letters? Wen Yiheng stood up, turned to look back at Yun Mulin outside the cell, and said with a smile: "I, Wen Yiheng, sit upright, and have never had a dark secret, how can anyone know my secret and tell you?" ”

Yun Mulin took out the whistleblower letter from his arms, unfolded it and showed it in front of Wen Yiheng's eyes, and said with a smile: "But this whistleblower letter said that you intended to rebel, judging by the tone of the letter, it should be from your original subordinate officials... Do you admit it? ”

"It's obvious that the intention to rebel has been exposed, how can the prince tell Heng that it's good news?"

"Isn't it good news that I helped you put you in prison, so that those doormen and officials who usually obey your words and tactics can show their faces and see their true colors?"

Wen Yiheng couldn't help but sneer: "Heh...... It turned out that the good news of the prince was so. "Reed bamboo forest

"Ke Heng is a rough man, he is exhausted from dealing with a steady stream of twists and turns on weekdays, how can he not think of intent on rebellion and want to be the emperor who has all the opportunities for that day? Above 10,000 people is a no-man's land, which is boring and lonely. ”

Yun Mulin put away his smile and looked fierce: "I don't have time to argue with you, I came tonight not only to inform you of the accusation of the intention to rebel, but also for an important purpose." ”

"I have punished corruption and bribery very severely, and now that you are in prison, I am afraid that the end will not be good. As long as you draw a confession on this whistleblower letter, you admit that you really intended to rebel. After you die, I promise you not to move the Zhuguo Mansion and save your family. ”

Wen Yiheng was unmoved by this, but turned his back to Yun Mulin and threw down a sentence: "Heng has never intended to rebel, let alone participated in any rebellion. Heng will never admit such a thing made out of nothing, nor will he admit to a trumped-up crime. ”

Yun Mulin had lost his patience: "Wen Yiheng, don't you still know your situation?" You are now a prisoner, and you will not be able to escape being imprisoned here for a long time in the future. I have great mercy to give you the opportunity to save your family, and you don't toast, eat, eat, and drink. ”

"Great mercy? The prince's mercy cannot be borne by Heng, and he does not dare to bear it. ”

Wen Yiheng's refusal was already very obvious, and he sent the guest directly: "The prison is cold and damp, the prince's daughter, let's leave as soon as possible." lest he be infected by the cold and give up the position of the prince to others in vain. After all, there are still three princes staring at you. ”

Yun Mulin turned his head to look at Fan Jinshan behind him, after Fan Jinshan analyzed the current situation, he confirmed that Wen Yiheng refused to agree to obey, so he whispered in Yun Mulin's ear: "This plan doesn't work, then use another plan." ”

After leaving the prison and returning to the palace, Fan Jinshan was willing to inform Yun Mulin of the backup plan: "Does the prince still remember that General Su Fenglan found his long-lost daughter earlier?" ”

"Of course I remember... Su Fenglan recognized that the woman had such a big fanfare and feast, which made everyone known. Yun Mulin, who didn't complete his purpose tonight, said impatiently: "But Su Fenglan's daughter, what does it have to do with your backup plan?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry, listen to me slowly." Although Fan Jinshan's brain is bright, he is chronic, and he speaks slowly and logically:

"General Su's daughter is named Su Jiudong, who originally lived in a small village in Qishan County, Hangzhou, and secretly followed Wen Yiheng into Beijing at the end of last year, and then found General Su, so there was a later General Su who recognized her daughter and became the young lady of the General's Mansion."

After Wen Yiheng secretly took Su Jiudong into Beijing, General Su was in northern Xinjiang and did not return, so Su Jiudong temporarily followed Wen Yiheng to live in the Sixian Courtyard in the Guogong Mansion. Men and women are in the same house, and they have a great relationship. ”

Yun Mulin suddenly realized: "It turns out that the two of them have such a close relationship... No wonder Wen Yiheng often appears by Su Jiudong's side, even Su Jiudong and Feng Yingying are fighting tea in Jingshan Temple, and he also deliberately asks his father for leave, and follows to see it. ”

"I thought he was going to pursue Feng Yingying and wanted to draw the young master of the prince to his side, but I didn't expect that the drunkard didn't mean to drink, but he wanted to see Su Jiudong. They disregarded the etiquette and made a private decision for life, but these two dog men and women made a couple... Hum! ”

Fan Jinshan did not speculate as dirtily as Yun Mulin about the relationship between Wen Yiheng and Su Jiudong, but just calmly narrated:

"The intimacy between the two of them is much more than that, and I have reported to me that the two of them have already married in Hangzhou. The reason why the relationship between the two was kept secret after returning to Beijing was that Su Jiudong officially lived in the Guogong Mansion only after the marriage ceremony was held at the end of the year. ”

"Now that Wen Yiheng refuses to admit his guilt and confess to the rebellion, we can start from Su Jiudong's side, and slowly figure it out..."

Yun Mulin interrupted Fan Jinshan's continuation: "There is no time to figure it out now, what I want is for Wen Yiheng to die as soon as possible." Since Wen Yiheng values Su Jiudong, I will tie Su Jiudong over and ask her to persuade her, or directly use her to blackmail Wen Yiheng. ”

Yun Mulin's plan was impulsive and not yet considered, so Fan Jinshan did not agree with this plan, and still wanted to say something, but was waved and silenced by Yun Mulin, who was eager to work;

"Mr. Fan, if you don't have a better and faster idea than my plan at the moment, you don't have to dwell on this. The most urgent thing is for Wen Yiheng to confess his sin of treason and put him to death, so that we can rest easy. ”

Tang Zhongye saw the slight embarrassment between Yun Mulin and Fan Jinshan, so he shifted his attention and talked about Su Jiudong:

"This Su Jiudong is the daughter of a general, so there should be many guards following him when he goes in and out, right? It wasn't easy to get her there; If you rush into the general's palace to arrest people, it is not a comprehensive way...", so the discussion reached an impasse again.

Fan Jinshan glanced at Yun Mulin deeply, and slowly asked, "Prince, do you really want to arrest that Su Jiudong?" ”

Yun Mulin said impatiently: "Su Jiudong is definitely going to be caught, now it's time to plan well and how to catch her." ”
