"Li Zhengyan! The Holy One is still here, and since you are highly meritorious! Also make it clear, you are a courtier! Shen Tianyun was angry, and there was nowhere to get out of his heart. When the queen mother was his aunt, her daughter was still the prince's daughter-in-law, such a prominent net worth, when did she ever suffer such a loss!

The older court doctor is considered a neutral person, and the elder statesman of the two dynasties, Huang Dadao: "Zuo Xiang, everything must pay attention to evidence." You have seized an entire state capital official at such a casual pace, what position is this putting the imperial court. ”

"Lord Huang, if this official is useless, still gnawing on the royal blood, and still saving face for him, this is not giving face to the court." Qin Xuning said casually, and the official department glared at Qin Xuning, and he didn't dare to say much, after all, Qin Xuning's status was originally very high.

Li Zhengyan said: "Evidence? The prime minister was the prime minister of the left dynasty, but he was almost killed by these officials in Yancheng! It's not that they don't know that I'm the left minister, but they know that they are afraid that their status will not be guaranteed, so they will kill the prime minister! If it weren't for the strong martial arts of his true appearance, I am afraid that Lord Huang would not be able to see his true appearance. ”

Lord Huang's face changed, "There is still such a thing?" ”

Li Ji said: "Zuo Xiang, tell the officials what you investigated in Yancheng." ”

Li Zhengyan took out a scroll from his sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, this is the book of 10,000 people of Yancheng, and each name is a book of 10,000 people of Yancheng and the surrounding people, and the emperor is invited to take a look." ”

He Wanqing went down to take the Book of Wanmin, but Li Ji didn't look at it, He Wanqing and another little eunuch pulled the scroll away, and there were some crooked words on it.

Many of these people, who could not write, studied on the spot and signed their names. The people are miserable, you officials are eating, drinking, and having fun in Kyoto, and then come to impeach the prime minister, are you dogs blind, or are you blinded by lard! ”

None of the officials below dared to speak, and their hearts were very weak.

Shen Tianyun's heart tightened, 100,000 taels of silver entered his mansion early this morning, fortunately, he hid it well enough, so he couldn't find his head.

"The prime minister said that you people eat the court but don't do practical things, and the prime minister wants to make you pay the price you deserve!" Li Zhengyan turned to Qin Xuning and said, "Qin Shilang, the official department is still in the book, these executions must be seen before tomorrow!" ”

The forehead of the official Shangshu was full of sweat, and he responded again and again. Qin Xuning said: "Zuo Xiang, you have a problem for the officials, don't worry, just those things in Yancheng, you have to be busy for a while." ”

"I'll give you a few more days." Li Zhengyan took out another piece of music and said, "Your Majesty, the officials of Yancheng have been escorted to Kyoto. This is several pieces of evidence prepared by Wechen, and Wechen hopes that the Criminal Department will preside over the case, and Wechen will assist from the side. ”

"Quasi-play!" Li Ji took the fold and looked at it, the big and small things on it made his face very ugly, and he shouted: "Right phase! You are guilty! ”

Shen Tianyun was stunned, bowed down and said, "Weichen doesn't know. ”

"Zuo Xiang investigated, you have a very good relationship with Zhao Dehan, the capital of Yancheng Prefecture." Li Ji scrutinized.

Shen Tianyun's face turned pale, the state government officials, who didn't want to be good friends with him, Shen Tianyun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen...... has been an official for many years, and there is no harsh criticism of the officials below, and there are always some intersections. ”

Li Ji said: "Right Minister, Zhao Dehan sent 100,000 taels of silver to your house, is there such a thing?" ”

Shen Tianyun was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot, "Go back to the emperor!" Never! ”

"Criminal Department, go investigate." Li Ji said softly, and didn't explain much to him.

Shen Tianyun breathed a sigh, he hid the position of the silver very well, and absolutely no one would find out.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department is a person who is Li Ji, and he has not been bribed by any party, and he came out and said: "Weichen has the order." ”

Li Ji said again: "Where are the officials in Yancheng. ”

Li Zhengyan said: "Deputy General Dou Wende is in charge, and he should have arrived in Kyoto." ”

"Criminal Department, all of them will be investigated and dealt with according to the law!" Li Ji ordered, "Prime Minister Zuo, this matter is fully entrusted to you to supervise." ”

"Wechen takes orders." Li Zhengyan bowed.

In the left hall of the Zhongshu Palace, the criminal department Shangshu said: "In the mansion of the left prime minister and the right minister, nothing has been found. ”

Li Zhengyan said: "Does Lord Ren think that such a large amount of silver will make it so easy for people to find out?" ”

Ren Zhong is an understanding person, of course he knows that he won't find out so easily. He is an upright official, and he still believes in Li Zhengyan's character. He admired Li Zhengyan very much since he had been in the army for many years but had not embezzled a single penny, and he bowed down and said: "Please also ask Zuo Xiang for some advice." ”

"Lord Ren, please be seated."

Ren Zhong was not polite, sat down on the side, and said humbly: "Zuo Xiang." ”

Li Zhengyan said: "Lord Ren doesn't have to think that the original phase is aimed at the right phase. Officials of all sizes in Yancheng are so rampant, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and Lord Ren must also understand this truth when he reads the sage books. ”

Ren Zhong is exactly fifty this year, and he has seen too many things step by step to this position, he said: "Yancheng matter, the lower officials must investigate it thoroughly, and live up to the emperor's grace and the hard work of the left minister." ”

He had already realized that Li Zhengyan deliberately investigated in-depth, because he knew that once he knew that it was Zuo Xiang or an official from Kyoto, he would definitely not find out so much, maybe it was Lord Li and Lord Wang who went out as scapegoats.

Li Zhengyan said: "The prime minister once sent someone to make a mark in the disaster relief silver, you can see it at a glance." ”

"I don't know what it is." Ren Zhong is happy.

Li Zhengyan was also a little puzzled, and said, "That...... I don't know the true appearance, but it is said that it is very special and special, and you can know it at a glance. This is a drawing drawn by Qin Weiwei, and it is also specified that it must be in accordance with the drawing.

It is said that Zhang Xu's face was a little ugly at that time.

"Thank you Zuo Xiang, it's just ......" Ren Zhong was a little embarrassed, "The Criminal Department sent someone to send a message, saying that they couldn't find it, and even the woman's boudoir went in......"

Li Zhengyan smiled: "Dig three feet into the ground, have you heard of it?" ”

Ren Zhong has a surprise on his old face, and he can really try to dig three feet into the ground.

"Zuo Xiang, Weichen has one thing." Ren Zhong was a little embarrassed, stopped, and said: "The criminal department searched once, the right minister is already unpleasant, if you rush to go a second time, I am afraid that it will ......."

Li Zhengyan smiled unconsciously, this old fox is asking himself how to do it, he offended once, and who would be happy to go the second time.

"If you don't have a weak heart, it doesn't matter how many times you go." Li Zhengyan picked up a cup of tea and said, "Lord Ren bears the emperor's order, and it is also for the good of Lord Shen." These are all things that can be taken for granted. ”

"Xiaguan understands." Ren Zhong is justified this time.

"I heard that the garden of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was loosening the soil a few days ago, why don't you let Lord Ren also go and help?"

"Wechen retires!"
