After the partition of the Xuande Hall, a person walked out slowly, just like the smiling tone, and there was also a smile like a spring breeze on his face.

The person who can make Qian Baipo and the others pause their pace and look back and be shocked......

Certainly not a spring return.

At this time, Chungui was handing a handkerchief to Yin, who couldn't hold back his tears, because according to this, the truth of Yuan Tongzhi's murder case, at least in Yin's case, has been regarded as a complete and real unraveling.

Chungui understands very well that although the Yin family chose to believe in King Zhou's side, he is actually not down-to-earth these days.

Yin took the handkerchief, covering her mouth and nose, she didn't let herself cry.

Qian Baipo and Pei Zhuo wanted to cry very much at the moment.

Who told them why the henchman next to the emperor, Dongchang Gonggao Deyi, suddenly appeared in Nanjing, in the Xuande Hall of Wu Wanggong?

The truth they just revealed was very deadly!

And He Ligong changed his attitude at this time, extremely energetic, slanted his white eyebrows and relaxed eyes, and walked leisurely to Qian Baipo's side: "Qian Shangshu, the old man is indeed from the West Factory, but because he was killed by the West Factory back then, he was sent to the Wu Palace. Old man, I don't have any other skills, but this body is quite tough, so my only wish is to enjoy some more delicacies and wine in this old age, so that I can leave a sum of money that can survive the life for relatives who have not been in contact for decades, but are related by blood.

Therefore, when Qian Shangshu bought off the old decay, he only asked the old decay to do some things to ventilate the news, and the old decay dared to be tempted, but later, he ...... was unexpectedly noticed by His Royal Highness King Zhou, and in order to save his life, the old man had to vote for another master. Can Qian Shangshu understand now? When Lao Yu asked to meet Qian Shangshu again, without the permission of His Royal Highness, how could Lao Yu get out of the Wu Palace? Not to mention inquiring about the fact that Deputy Envoy Zhao was already suspicious of Meng Shangshu, and even dared to kill people and set fire to the Wu Palace. If Qian Shangshu hadn't been cornered, he wouldn't have believed the old words.

But these are not important, the important thing is that the letter of appointment drafted by Qian Shangshu has been handed over to Gao Gonggong, which is from Qian Shangshu's own handwriting, not to mention, Qian Shangshu just admitted it personally, the reason why you believe in the news from the old decay, and believe that Ke Quan and others are dead, and only today instigated Confucianism to make trouble, it is precisely because you promised to use the interests of the decay to rebuild the West Factory, and instructed the decay to kill people and destroy the mouth, but Gao Gonggong did not miss a word, and heard it with his own ears.

As for Ke Quan and the other three, of course, they were unharmed, especially Ke Quan, who has already truthfully confessed, Qian Shangshu, your crime has been exposed, but the old man did not kill anyone, and he will not give you a funeral, although he will also be punished, but who let the old man be moved by interests for a while, and it is not conducive to His Highness to buy you for you? The old man pleaded guilty and advised Qian Shangshu not to be stubborn. ”

Qian Baipo is the real dumb chicken at this time.

Gao Deyi also restrained his smile: "Qian Shangshu, if you can encourage the official and Confucian students, you must have some collusion with the study and politics, if you admit it or not, the people involved in the murder of Yuan Shijing will be guilty of the crime this time, Qian Baipo, the emperor has an edict." ”

Qian Baipo and Pei Zhuo and others could only kneel immediately to listen to the holy oracle.

——

Although Emperor Hongfu agreed to King Zhou and Lan Ting to jointly ask for cooperation in the trial of this murder case, of course, he would not really put this murder case in a secondary position than the collection of autumn endowments, and actually gave King Zhou a time limit

Risky.

If Yuan Ji's party had not messed up and stepped into the trap laid by King Zhou and Lan Ting, it would be really difficult to say whether the outcome would have been achieved.

But by this time the dust had already settled.

Qian Baipo and others were immediately dismissed from their posts in the Xuande Hall, and Tong Zheng, who temporarily took over the post of Shangshu of the Nanjing Criminal Department, was in charge of custody and sent to the capital.

However, the evidence of the crime in the hands of King Zhou is at least enough for Qian Baipo and Pei Zhuo, and even today, these two officials who entered the palace of Wu with them, to be convicted and sentenced.

Gao Deyi pronounced the holy oracle on his behalf, waved his hand, and signaled that the guards could send Qian Baipo and the others to the Criminal Department first, and he was not in a hurry to interrogate him immediately, because there was still a "fish that slipped through the net".

King Zhou said to Lan Ting: "Then I will let the guards go to raid the house." ”

It was Qian Baipo and Pei Zhuo's homes that were copied, and King Zhou actually "coveted" the property of these two families for a long time.

Pei Zhuo is also repaid, Qian Baipo can be loyal to Yuan Ji with all his heart, and it will never be just because of the "old feelings" of the two doors, Qian Baipo is also the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, although he is staying in Beijing, not higher than the official department of Beijing, but he is also the "leader" of the six departments of Nanjing, and he also has the power to evaluate the performance and even the appointment and dismissal of officials in Nanzhili.

Because Emperor Hongfu advocated that the seizure of corrupt ink benefit the people, and directly allow the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to directly use the stolen money confiscated due to the illegal inspection of the Qing Dynasty to be directly used to reduce taxes according to the advice of the King of Zhou and the Lan Court.

This is at least a buffer period for many people who have to bear taxes far higher than they should because local corrupt officials have bent the law in the past, but the real light will have to wait until the four provinces thoroughly verify the current situation of household registration.

Of course, King Zhou is in a hurry to seize his family and property today, and the key purpose is to startle the snake.

Mengji.

Qian Baipo, Pei Zhuo and the others today's behavior, he will not be kept in the dark, and he should pay full attention to the wind and grass at this time.

It was just after noon, and Meng Shen rushed directly into his father's study with a scorched face.

"How's it going?"

"Outside the palace of King Wu, Confucian scholars have been persuaded to disperse, and it is Dou Gong who has come forward...... Xuezheng Shen Fu and others have been arrested, and what's worse is that the mansions of Qian and Pei have been raided by King Zhou! All adult children will be imprisoned, and female dependents will also be placed under house arrest! ”

"Defeated!" Meng Zhi fell back into the Taishi chair and did not say anything for a long time.

"Isn't Yuan Ji's defeat as the one expected? Fortunately, the old man is scheming, and his father has already prepared the groundwork! Now, although it is difficult for Qian Baipo, Pei Zhuo and others to turn over, Qian Baipo should understand that he can only stop the loss by trying his best to protect Yuan Gelao! There is no direct evidence pointing to Yuan Ge Lao, even though Yuan Ge Lao is difficult to retreat from the whole body, I am afraid that he will inevitably be deposed, but now our secret chess move can be regarded as a real value of honor and disgrace for Yuan Ge Lao! ”

Meng Zhi was really a little discouraged, and sat down in his chair weakly: "We must be prepared to face the worst, it's all my fault, I didn't even listen to your advice at the time, and I was confused for a while to lobby Yuanhai because I was in a hurry!" But Meng Shen, it's too late to regret being a father, maybe this time, I really want to implicate you......"

"The father can rest assured that the son knows what the big picture is."

Meng Zhi let out a long sigh: "It's good if you know, it's good to know......"

But I don't know if I've been fascinated by ghosts for a while...... But now there is no need to repent, fame, fame, fame, fortune

It's hard to be sure, but all I can do is try to save my reputation, but it will take sacrifice, and it's not just me who has risked my life, we are already in the midst of a catastrophe, and we have to gamble.

But hopefully, there is still a turning point.

However, when Yin Jiyu came to ask Meng Zhili to go to Wutian Palace to meet with Lan Ting, Meng Zhi had really been buried in his chest by the desperate loess.

He could only leave his eldest son Meng Shen with a compassionate look.

Or in Xuande Hall.

Lan Ting gestured: "Gong Meng doesn't need to be polite, please sit down and talk about it." ”

"I don't know, don't invite the old man today......"

"Meng Gong knows it."

Although Meng Zhi was already discouraged, it was inevitable that he would struggle: "What do you mean by this? ”

"Gong Meng, Mrs. Yin has told the truth."

Sure enough, Yuanhai buried hidden dangers before he died!

"Don't believe Yin's words, although she is a woman and a Taoist family, she will not take the initiative to participate in the power grab, but Yuan Shijing is indeed ...... He disagreed with Ji Bei's politics, and he may have been bought by Yuan Ji as early as before his death, and he told Yin's words, saying that the old man's private talk was all made up, and Yin would naturally listen to ......"

"Meng Gong, Yin Niangzi just told me that Yuan Tongzhi seemed to be deliberately estranged from your mansion before he died, but Meng Gong was sure that Yin Niangzi said what Meng Gong said about Yuan Tongzhi privately. If Meng Gong really did not act in such a matter, why would he worry that the court would listen to Yin Niangzi's so-called one-sided words? There is also one piece of corroboration, Qian Baipo did confess to Gonggong He of Wu Wanggong to find out if I was suspicious of Gong Meng. Meng Gong should have known that I was suspicious, so he would be in a hurry to confess and tell the truth. ”

Lan Ting got up and paced in front of Meng Zhi.

"Meng Gong understands in his heart that your value to Yuan Ji is only to continue to hide as a shadow, but until now, I will not believe Meng Gong, I have even avoided His Royal Highness today, thinking about leaving a way back for Meng Gong, Meng Gong is still good to be open and honest with the court, I formally ask Meng Gong, do you suggest that Yuan Ji will destroy Yuan Tongzhi...... The culprit! ”

"If I confess truthfully......"

"Depending on the severity of Meng Gong's crime, if it is light, the court will not kill them all, but can only say that they will abide by the law and deal with them."

Meng Zhi let out a long sigh.

Then maybe even the eldest son, Meng Shen, can avoid prison.

"I did secretly see Yuan Shijing and lobbied for his actions...... Sasuke's affair with King Linzi. ”

After Meng Zhi finished speaking, he seemed to fall into a long silence, and Lan Ting obviously had no idea of rushing to ask, Meng Zhi finally puffed up again: "That's right, I was moved when the King of Linzi ordered Qian Baipo to lure me, I have been conscientious for most of my life and asked myself to be worthy of the monarchy, but in the end I was inevitably excluded from the center and waited for the end of the old man in Nanjing, I am not reconciled!" Don't be surprised by your grandfather's lifetime, Taishi Zhao once commended me for my temperament, and I never dare to forget the teachings of Taishigong, but even today, I have not been able to do the real appointment of virtuous people! What I see is still sycophants rising to the top, and it is still the traitors of the Manchu Dynasty who are rampant and domineering, I am not reconciled, how can I be willing?!

The emperor is too indecisive! If you had listened to our advice earlier, abolished the grandson, and established another virtuous person, it would not have caused the Gao clan to bring disaster to the country! I was expelled from the center because of my ambition to follow the Taishi Gong and strongly advise the deposed grandson, and now the grandson has been abolished, but has the court justified my name?!

Zhao Jibei, after the death of the Grand Master, you were in charge of the Xuan Zhutang Hall, but have you ever thought of promoting me back to the center? I am unwilling, and I am not convinced! ”

Meng Zhi finally stopped struggling.
