Gao Xingzhi also came to the interest: "Do you have a clue? ”
"It's been ready for a long time." Pei Xie Tang chewed the dog tail grass in her mouth, the grass was a little green and bitter, and she smiled: "What do you think my ghost pavilion is for?" ”
"Do it?" Gao Xingzhi raised his eyebrows.
Pei Xie Tang nodded: "Do it." ”
The two hit it off, Gao Xingzhi came out of the wall, Pei Xie Tang jumped off the swing, and the two separated as if nothing happened.
It's just that this night, something happened to the Zhou family.
Zhou Tonghui has a beloved concubine, twenty-four years old this year, Zhou Tonghui was very fond of Zhou Tonghui when he was still alive, after Zhou Tonghui died, the housewife hated this concubine, so she said that she wanted to let the concubine be buried with her. The little concubine was so frightened that she rolled up her bed and ran away overnight, and she has not been heard from for more than four months. The Zhou family searched overwhelmingly, saying that if they found it, they would be beaten to death, this little concubine was chased so much that she couldn't do it, and that night, she couldn't think about it, so she went to Jingzhaoyin's mansion.
Why? Grievances!
The drum of grievances shook the sky, and in the middle of the night, Jing Zhaoyin was startled, and hurriedly came to open the hall.
Then, another long-standing unjust case surfaced.
Why does the county lord of Tai'an always have trouble with Zhou Tonghui?
It turns out that this so-called good official in the mouth of the people is not a thing. Over the years, Zhou Tonghui has relied on his outstanding merits and is a first-class member of the imperial court, and has robbed many people to be concubines in the palace. Of the eight aunts of the Zhou family, six were snatched by Zhou Tonghui, not to mention the girls he didn't carry into the mansion as aunts. As far as this concubine knows, there are four outer rooms that the beautiful Lord Zhou has raised outside, and these four have also given birth to six sons to him, not to mention those women who have been humiliated and unjustly killed or hidden.
In addition to robbing people's daughters, Zhou Tonghui also ran three underground money banks, specializing in black money. If you borrow ten taels of silver, you can repay a hundred taels of silver in three months, and if you can't pay it back, you will let people sell their daughters to pay off the debt. Zhou Tonghui has an account book that specifically records the women sold by the underground money bank over the years, and a rough calculation shows that there are hundreds of them.
sold other people's daughters, and other people's sons did not let go, and the clean father-in-law in the palace had the highest price, so it was not difficult for Zhou Tonghui to force his son to enter the palace.
Just these three articles, over the past few years, the families who have been ruined by Zhou Tonghui have been ruined, not to mention thousands, but also hundreds, and the sins are heavy!
As for having a grudge with the lord of Tai'an, it is purely a personal vendetta, and he has no relationship with half of the lord of Tai'an, and the root cause is in the parents of the lord of Tai'an.
Zhou Tonghui has coveted the mother of the lord of Tai'an for many years, and those who have eyes have long seen it!
For what the concubine said, at first, Jing Zhaoyin didn't believe it.
How can there be so many coincidences?
Several cases of the Tai'an county lord have just surfaced, and then such a thing came out, isn't someone clearing the Tai'an county lord?
In his unbelief, he summoned the head of the Zhou family and some domestic servants overnight. As a result, the housewife of the Zhou family couldn't stand the interrogation at all, and she recruited everything back and forth in a few rounds, which was no different from what the concubine said.
Now, Jing Zhaoyin can't sit still!
For him, now the county lord of Tai'an is involved in a hot potato, and he has to throw it out quickly, otherwise he will forget everything if he accidentally gets into trouble. So, as soon as it was dawn the next day, as soon as the yamen of the Criminal Department opened, the case was handed over. Cai Minghe recruited a few principals to take a look, there was no problem with the file tightly, and the physical evidence was complete, and after determining that there was no problem, he interrogated several witnesses in line with rigor, and finally presented the file to Emperor Xuanqing, Emperor Xuanqing was furious.
"Zhou Tonghui, an old horseman, is deceived and abducted, and he is not worthy of being a minister!"
Emperor Xuanqing angrily threw the chapter and walked around in the Zhengda Guangming Palace, and the atmosphere in his heart was really hard to hide, not only because of Pei Xie Tang, but also because of Zhou Tonghui to deceive him, but for his good brother Pei Yongjun.
The preference for Pei Xie Tang stems from his friendship with Pei Yongjun for many years, and at this moment, he suddenly saw that the minister he valued not only coveted his good brother's wife, but also attacked his good brother's daughter, he didn't know anything, and he had also fueled the arrogance of the bad guys before, where could Emperor Xuanqing endure this breath?
"Someone!" Emperor Xuanqing walked back and forth several times, pointed to the palace gate outside the Zhengda Guangming Hall and said loudly: "Go, go to Zhou's house for me immediately, and collect all the plaques of the Zhou family for me." I got back all the things and titles I gave me at the beginning. Let Bo Sen take a forbidden army to the ancestral tomb of the Zhou family, pull out Zhou Tonghui's corpse for me, and whip the corpse at the noon gate to show the public. ”
Whipping corpses?
Jinghe's father-in-law was startled and whispered, "This has never been seen in three hundred years." ”
"I didn't have it before, but now I have it." Emperor Xuanqing was angry: "I just want to let the people of the world know that this is the end of deceiving the monarch and bullying the people, and he will be punished if he dies." After whipping the corpse, the bones were crushed and ashes were scattered to eliminate the hatred in the hearts of the people! ”
Jinghe's father-in-law didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly went to announce the decree.
As a result, after the lord of Tai'an was beaten and ashes by the "Northern Wei people", another corpse in the capital was broken and ashes. Zhou Tonghui was dragged out of the grave, dragged to the noon gate and whipped the corpse, and set up a raging fire to burn the light.
The Zhou family was implicated in the crime, or deposed or exiled, and the people who had been bullied by the Zhou family for many years finally survived to the end of the day. Emperor Xuanqing issued a holy decree to give all the money and property obtained by the Zhou family to those who had lost their children, but all daughters who were forced to sell to the brothel of Qinglou were all taken back by the imperial court and given consolation money according to the year. Those sons who were sent to the palace were also released according to their own wishes.
At this point, who doesn't say that Emperor Xuanqing is a fair and good emperor?
Pei Xie Tang sat in the courtyard, looked at the official document in front of him lightly, smiled, and could be regarded as opening this page.
She stretched her waist, without the Zhou family and Meng Tingping, there were only two people left.
Li Xi, the crown prince.
It's too easy to bring down Li Xi, but the prince is still alive for a day, and this person probably won't open his mouth. To force him to have nowhere to retreat, it takes a little bit of means.
Pei Xie Tang's eyes are extremely cunning, she is not afraid of trouble, over the years, there have been too many troubles.
In the prison, Li Xi's eyes were already full of sorrow, leaning against the wall and thinking about this life, his heart was full of sourness. In the past few days, the movement outside has been really big, but for Li Xi, it seems that nothing has anything to do with him.
The footsteps sounded again, and it was like that in the prison, people came and went, and the jailer walked around, and he was unheard, immersed in his own world. However, the footsteps stopped in front of him, and then, with the rattle of chains on the door, a pair of hands reached out and opened the door.
Who?
Li Xi raised his dejected eyes and saw a tall figure in a black cloak standing there looking at him in the darkness. The light is not very clear, and his face is naturally invisible, Li Xi raised his hand to cover his eyes, and slowly stood up: "Who are you?" ”
"The general doesn't remember who I am." In the darkness, the crisp female voice was very pleasant: "However, I have always remembered the general, and I really want to repay the general." ”
"What do you mean?" Li Xi was stunned.
The woman chuckled, "General, I'll take you out." ”
"Get out? No, I'm not going out. Li Xi was stunned for a moment, and immediately pressed against the wall: "Thank you for your kindness, but I'd rather stay in the prison." I'm guilty of harboring, and the court will imprison me for a few days, demote or remove me from my duties, and I'll be able to get out soon. If I leave now, I'm going to be a prison escape, I'm ...... It's going to lose your head. ”
"I know." The woman tilted her head innocently, and her eyes hidden in the cloak were very bright: "General, that's why I came to take you away." ”
"What do you do?" The killing intent in his words made Li Xi feel frightened.
The woman was still laughing and said, "I said, I want to repay the general." Her tone slowly sank: "After all, if there is no general, I am afraid that there is someone who can still live well in the world." ”
"You, you are Pei Xie Tang's lackey!" Li Xi shouted.
The woman shook her head and chuckled: "General, don't mention Pei Xie Tang's name casually, because this name is particularly dirty to say from your mouth, and you don't deserve it." ”
As she spoke, she strode forward and reached out to clasp Li Xi's wrist.
Li Xi was unwilling to be captured, and immediately rose up to resist. It's a pity that his hands and feet are trapped, and his actions are not as convenient as others, so he soon received a hand knife and fainted softly. The woman let him smash on the ground, bringing up a puff of dust, and kicked him in the shoulder with her foot in disgust: "I don't know how to lift." ”
She bent down, took off the hairpin from her head, and fiddled with it a few times, and the lock clicked open.
She had a lot of strength, put the person on her body, turned around and walked out of the prison door. Before leaving, he deliberately piled up the grass and broken cotton wool on the ground and thoughtfully locked the prison door.
In the dark night, the woman took Li Xi out of the prison, got into the carriage parked in the alley, and the carriage drove into a hidden courtyard.
After dawn, the criminal department went crazy.
When the jailer came to deliver the prison food according to the custom, and put the prison food on the ground, he didn't see Li Xi coming to get it, so he shouted twice, but still no one responded, and the suspicious jailer opened the cell door and walked in, and saw that Li Xi was already missing in the empty cell.
Li Xi escaped!
As soon as this matter spread, Cai Minghe was in a hurry, and hurriedly told Zhu Xinzhi, the two hurriedly entered the palace, and Emperor Xuanqing was angry, and immediately asked the Criminal Department to send a sea arrest document to arrest Li Xi. As a result, Li Xi's crime of covering up immediately became the crime of escaping, he had no reason to run away, and the sensitive and meticulous prince of Huai'an immediately understood.
Li Xi: This is not easy!
Thinking that this person was still planning to read the suicide note of the county lord of Tai'an before, Zhu Xinzhi knew that there might be many secrets that he didn't know about Li Xi.
