Chapter 107: The Truth Emerges
The next morning, when His Majesty had not yet appeared, the ministers walked side by side towards the main hall in twos and threes.
Zhang Yue and the prince tacitly came together, and the two of them had their own ghosts, but others didn't dare to talk too much about them.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......" Zhang Yue smiled with a hint of a low voice, "Fortunately, you spoke well for me in front of Your Majesty that day, otherwise His Royal Highness King Cong's temperament would inevitably shake out all my affairs, and the lower officials are really ...... Appreciate. ”
Gu Ziyan had a gentle attitude and said in a high-sounding manner: "Why does Lord Zhang need to be polite? You and I are both people who want to be loyal to the Tiansheng Dynasty, but everything that is beneficial to my father's emperor Jiangshan Sheji, the palace is willing to help, not to mention the loyalty of Lord Zhang, the government and the opposition are obvious to all, and some private small things will be left to you to deal with. ”
After a pause, his expression was a little solemn, and he said: "The second brother has always been such a character, either he doesn't look at the affairs of others, or he chases and fights hard, and he is bound to turn it upside down and completely destroy it. ”
There was still a period of time before the early dynasty, Gu Ziyan simply stood outside the hall and talked to people in a low voice, and from time to time a few other officials came to visit, and the prince coped with the past with ease, and he was exquisitely enveloped in all directions.
Master Zhang has been tense, careful not to say more than half a word, the content of the conversation is very vague, even if there is a person who wants to steal some unknown secrets, but he can't hear it clearly, so he left in a huff.
"Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your concern, but His Royal Highness's methods are hard enough, and he wanted to protect the ...... of the village" His voice was extremely low, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he stared at the tip of his shoes and gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Shut up!" The prince scolded lightly and said, "You still have the face to say?" If it weren't for your weird kinky kinks, you would have caused so much trouble? If it weren't for the palace going to Qingfeng Village to help you that day, you would have been twisted by my second brother to my father and ask for guilt by now. ”
Zhang Yue looked at the gloomy gaze stupidly, the prince said it well, but it was more Gu Ziyan's selfishness to grab merit, he dared to be angry for a while, he only lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
Gu Ziyan is ostensibly using all the people who can be used, but in his heart, he still thinks about these chess pieces, Zhang Yue is now powerful and powerful, but he is too cowardly, he is worried that if something happens in the future, he will be the first to be pushed out as a substitute for the dead ghost.
Zhang Ye swallowed his saliva and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the lower officials are actually very sorry, without that village, a big fortune will be cut off......"
Gu Ziyan had already colluded with Qingfeng Village in private, he took the money, Zhang Yue took the people, and each took what he needed, when his father asked Gu Congyuan to investigate the case, he expected today's ending, so that day the blood washed Qingfeng Village, and not a single living mouth could be left.
"If it's broken, it's broken, don't drag the palace into the water, you can handle the dirty things yourself." Thinking of this, his originally clear gaze gradually dimmed, and the hand behind his back slowly clenched into a fist, "No one will clean up the mess for you next time." ”
Zhang Yue still didn't know that a catastrophe was coming, and sneered: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, please rest assured, His Royal Highness is usually mean and not close to people, only a few people who don't know how to raise will take the initiative to scold him, he still thinks that I am illegally buying and selling servants, and I don't even have half of the evidence at hand." ”
Gu Ziyan looked disdainful
glanced at him and said, "If he is really as simple as you said, this palace will not be tortured by him for so many years, I always feel that the power behind this person is huge, you better be careful......"
He took a deep breath, "Once you are bitten by this mad dog, there is no place to turn over." ”
At this moment, the chief of the chamberlain called everyone into the hall, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all stood neatly in the hall.
Zhang Yue secretly glanced at Gu Congyuan, who had a straight waist, and the man's face was as cold and calm as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Gu Ji also simply listened to the advice of several ministers, and it was inconsequential, and he came up with a solution on the spot.
The chief attendant saw that the time was almost up, so he took a step forward and opened up in that indistinguishable voice: "Something to start, nothing to retreat"
Gu Congyuan tilted his head slightly calmly, and when he saw that the civil and military officials were silent and were about to retire, he suddenly stepped forward and said, "Father, the son has something to do." ”
Gu Ji was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Quasi-play." ”
Master Zhang's heart instantly raised his throat, and his eyes slowly widened, and he had a premonition that something was wrong.
Gu Ziyan also frowned tightly, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
The eyes of the Manchu Dynasty officials suddenly focused on Gu Congyuan, as if they were thinking about how the Second Highness, who did not fight or fight on weekdays, was a little abnormal today.
The corner of the man's mouth was raised, and he said loudly: "Erchen, today I want to report the imperial court official Lord Zhang, colluding with the bandits of Qingfeng Village, mutilating the innocent people in the capital, raising child prostitutes in the mansion privately, and abusing and killing several innocent children!" ”
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused an uproar, and there was an uproar in the court, and this row of mountains and seas of discussions made Zhang Yue's eyes dark!
He has always been a righteous gentleman in front of outsiders, who knew that this dirty thing had something to do with this court official!
Gu Ji saw that this person had the courage to expose it in the court, and it must be for a reason, so he said angrily: "Zhang Yue, how do you explain this matter?" ”
Zhang Yue staggered two steps, rolled out and knelt in front of His Majesty, the wat board was raised high, a Venus flashed in front of him, and he said calmly: "Your Majesty!" The minister is wronged! ”
Gu Ziyan saw that Gu Congyuan had begun to tear his face, and he still had to clear up his relationship with Zhang Yue as soon as possible, so he was already secretly thinking about it in his heart.
"Wronged? How could King Cong be idle and use such a crime to wronged you! Gu Ji personally promoted Zhang Yue at the beginning, but now he was exposed to such an ugly thing, and he was really disgraced, and before Gu Cong could say more, his face was ugly.
Zhang Yue trembled like a sifting bran, his heart became a pot of porridge, and said, "Minister...... The minister really doesn't know what His Royal Highness King Cong is talking about, why do you want to slander the minister for no reason, is it because of the Qingfeng Village case, which is too slow to deal with it, so that His Royal Highness is not satisfied? ”
Gu Congyuan suddenly realized his head and said: "As soon as Lord Zhang reminded me like this, Erchen really remembered it, and almost forgot to tell his father that Qingfeng Village sells prostitutes and beats weak girls, and Lord Zhang is a frequent visitor there." ”
Behind him, the chaotic chatter swept wildly.
Zhang Yue's heart suddenly felt like ashes, even if he faced the saint, he seemed to be able to see the disdainful look of his colleagues pointing at him, "How can you say this Zhang Yue can do such a thing......
Gu Ji took a deep breath and said with a headache: "What else is Zhang Yue's crime?" Tell me about it! ”
Gu Congyuan lowered his eyes and arched his hand: "A few years ago, Zhang Yue's wife died violently in the house for no reason, and everyone thought that she had died of illness, but Erchen heard a different response from the mouth of an old servant of the Zhang family......"
Gu Ji had a terrible speculation in his heart, and said, "Say." ”
He sneered and said, "The old servant said that Zhang Yue pinched Mrs. Zhang's neck like crazy that day and asked her why she couldn't stay young forever?" Why can't you always be so weak and cute......"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court felt a burst of coldness in their hearts.
I thought that why Zhang Yue didn't marry a wife for so many years turned out to be because he only liked women who were not too old to be young, and it was no wonder why his wife died before double ten, it turned out to be ......
Killed by him.
Zhang Yue suddenly collapsed to the ground as if he had been drained of strength, and muttered unwillingly: "The minister is wronged...... The minister is really wronged, and His Majesty can't just listen to the words of His Royal Highness. ”
Gu Congyuan turned to the side slightly, glanced at him, his eyes were like a cold and deep cold pool, and when he saw his miserable condition, he was also unmoved, and said, "Lord Zhang, this king is a witness, and you are welcome to interrogate him at any time." ”
Gu Ji was also stunned by this news for a moment, so the Ninety-Five Supreme, whose strength was 108,000 miles away from that Zhang Yue, was quite calm, and asked: "You said that Master Zhang bought a prostitute from Qingfeng Village, is there any evidence?" ”
Gu Cong saw that the attitude of everyone in the court was shaken, and most of them believed his words, and this simple few words would get twice the result with half the effort, and his heart was relaxed.
"The evidence of the sons is conclusive," he said, "Lord Zhang buried those children who were abused to death near the Xiaoqing River, and the father and emperor could send troops to search for them, presumably at this time, there are still many children hidden in Lord Zhang's mansion." ”
Gu Ji looked at Zhang Yue kneeling in the hall in a daze, this person's panic and nonsense all mean that he had done this, the emperor fell silent, and in the empty hall was Zhang Yue's weak and pale excuses, chattering and useless.
Today, Gu Ziyan didn't help people talk anymore, but watched coldly.
Gu Ji was silent for a long time, so long that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty felt the cold in the hall, and he suddenly overturned all the pieces on the table as if he was so angry.
"Rubbish!!" He was furious and said, "In vain, I promoted you in vain, and I feel that you are the most affectionate and trustworthy person, and you have done such a thing that has lost your conscience, it is simply an unforgivable sin!" ”
Zhang Yue's face was full of tears, and he fell to the ground in agony and wailed: "Your Majesty...... The minister is loyal to you, he has never deceived you, and the minister has no second heart for you......"
Gu Ji suddenly felt that what he had done before was extremely ridiculous, and he actually asked Zhang Yue to accept the Qingfeng Village case, if he hadn't sent Gu Congyuan over and swept the beggar's nest resolutely, wouldn't he have let Zhang Yue protect those little people?
Zhang Yue has dealt with countless incidents over the years, and the people's parents and officials do not fulfill their duties, but they are crazy and oppress and exploit, which is simply ridiculous.
"Someone! Put Zhang Yue in a prison! Gu Ji's face was gloomy, and he said, "King Cong can order someone to lead the troops and thoroughly investigate Xiaoqinghe and Zhang's mansion!" ”
