The city of Jingshi has been in turmoil and noise all day, with chickens and dogs jumping everywhere, ghosts crying and wolves howling. The Caoyun case was confirmed because of Ji Zhenyuan's crimes, and many people were pulled out, this is another large-scale sweep of officialdom after the fall of a large number of officials in the prostitution case the year before last, according to the news inquired by Qi Song, it is estimated that about twenty or thirty people are involved in the case, and how to convict is not subject to it for the time being, at least this time the court will undergo a major purge.

All the people and the criminals were sent to the Dali Temple prison for trial, Wei Bin and others were busy in the past few days, and Yin Yu was also temporarily assigned to lead the army to surround the Dali Temple to prevent people from robbing the prison.

Ji Zhenyuan was independently placed in the prison that was released, while the rest of the people in the Ji Mansion were locked up for men and women. Ji Zhenyuan was the only clue to uncover Mr. Seven's true face, and the Protector sent Huo Shicong to personally lead troops to guard him.

The atmosphere in the city is unprecedentedly solemn, even the common people vaguely feel that there is a big case hidden behind it, the teahouse and restaurant are quiet, and the business in the Ning family's business is a lot worse, so Ning Dayi has been running more diligently in Durian Hutong recently. Ning Dayi has now taken over Mr. Ning and has become the head of the family, with several new guards around him, and he is also hugging back and forth.

Led by the prince and Wei Bin in Dali Temple for a few days, Ji Zhenyuan, who has been interrogated four times, has not let go of Mr. Seven confession, although there is no law in this dynasty that the punishment cannot be punished by the sergeant, but Ji Zhenyuan is old after all, if he is tortured, he is afraid that he will die after a few strokes, Wei Bin has no choice, and the prince discussed with the prince to ask the experienced Dou Jin to come out to preside over the trial.

On the first day that Dou Jin came out to preside over the trial, Ji Zhenyuan sneered a few times. No matter what Dou Jin asked him, he didn't say a word, and in the next few days, Dou Jin was also anxious and had no idea at all.

After the trial was fruitless on this day, the prince's brows were also twisted, the case had dragged on long enough, and if it dragged on any longer, it would not demoralize the morale and make the people panic, and there was a shortage of people in many places in the six ministries. If not, be condemned. It is very likely that the political affairs will be delayed. So on this day, he ordered the trial of the accomplices below Ji Zhenyuan first, and after the sentence, the demotion of those who should be demoted, and the distribution of those who should be assigned, first make up for the shortcomings that should be made up in the six departments.

Of course, the trial has to start with Xie Rong.

After Xie Rong was imprisoned. The four-leaf alley is also in a mess. Xie Yun, who will return to her hometown next month to take the exam, has to put down her studies and run around. The Zhang family also kept looking for connections to intercede for Xie Rong through his mother's family, and Xie Wei also came back, but he blamed the Huang family for still worshipping the Buddha in the Buddhist hall at this time. didn't want to find a way to rescue her husband, and was slapped out by Huang.

Xie Yun and his wife worked in vain all day, and finally had a sense of sadness.

Mo said that no one has the ability to intercede for him in such a big case, even if there is, it will never be Xie Rong's side, and now except for Wei Bin and the Protector of the Kingdom, who in the court can still speak in front of the emperor?

After Xie Wan heard about it, he was silent for a while, and Qian Zhuang asked her: "Madam, do you want to take out the evidence we have about Xie Rong's murder of Xie Qi?" ”

Xie Wan pondered for a long time and shook his head.

She didn't know how the crown prince would judge Xie Rong this time, but one thing was for sure, Xie Rong's political sensitivity was definitely stronger than her, and he definitely knew the emperor better than her, since he was able to take the initiative to enter the palace to see the emperor, it showed that he was very sure in his heart. After the emperor sang the scene with Yin Yu without telling the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, she could no longer guess the emperor's mind from the surface as before.

Xie Rong was put in prison by the emperor, and it didn't necessarily mean that he would not be given any chance again. Now that the emperor is still in power, if he has the heart to let Xie Rong go, then throwing out these evidences in her hands will only be in vain. Xie Rong's fate has been handed over to the emperor in advance, and now no one can interfere.

When Yin Yu came back in the evening, she asked him, "How is Xie Rong's trial?" ”

Yin Yu led her into the house and said, "I knew you were concerned about this, so I rushed back." Xie Rong's incriminating evidence is all ready-made, but because he does have evidence to prove that he mistakenly participated in Caoyun and bribery without knowing it, the capital crime is exempted, and according to the law, he should be transferred to the official position and assigned to the army. ”

Xie Wan frowned.

He leaned over and said, "Are you not satisfied?" ”

"Not really." She raised her head, "It's just that he has the nature of an immortal bird, and before the last moment, no one knows if it will be decided." If Xie Rong was pushed to the end, she would have made a wish because of this, but the key is, is he really so easy to be suppressed?

Yin Yu nodded.

"By the way," Xie Wan looked at him, "Do you know what conditions Xie Rong negotiated with the emperor when he entered the palace that day?" Is it possible for the emperor to change his mind? This is what she cares about, she can't think of what Xie Rong will negotiate with the emperor on what terms, he is not Ji Zhenyuan, and he doesn't know the true identity of Mr. Seven, what does he have to sell to the emperor at this time?

Yin Yu didn't know either.

"There were only two of them in the hall that day, and it is said that even Zhang Zhen was standing outside the door, and no one knew what they said." He shook his head, "But I also have the same feeling as you, Xie Rong will not let himself fall so embarrassed, but now even if he is convicted, there is nothing we can do, because we don't know what he will do to negotiate with the emperor." ”

The emperor has made him feel more and more different in the past two years, before he was deposed, he was a qualified monarch and a kind grandfather, but since the incident of Yin Hao, he has begun to become abnormal. First of all, he was able to protect him but did not protect him, and admittedly, he had no regrets before the case was clarified. But from the emperor's point of view, has he really done his best as a grandfather?

Later, this year, he suddenly stopped calling him into the palace in the Taimiao, he is naturally not uncommon, but the completely different attitudes before and after can also explain some problems, the emperor is gradually giving up on him, he is giving up on him, so is it indicating that the grandson in his mind has been elected?

It was his ideal to be a wise and meritorious monarch in the world, but the focus of the ideal is to have achievements and merits, and he does not have to inherit the throne to achieve it, but it is one thing whether he can win it back, and it is another thing to be given up by his imperial grandfather in the process of fighting.

He now feels more and more that the emperor may not really want him to be the next crown prince, judging from the fact that he has studied and analyzed so many cases from the perspective of the grandson, if the emperor really has this idea, then the place he is concerned about is most likely the Huo family.

The Huo family has been favored for several generations, which certainly shows that the Tian family misses the old, but it also shows that the Huo family itself has a good foundation. The emperor was worried that if he became the emperor, the power of the Huo family would get out of control and threaten the emperor's authority.

The emperor's concerns seem reasonable, but is he a fool who will obediently be at the mercy of men? Has he learned all these years of strategy in vain? Just because the powerful Huo family, who has military power, is his mother's maiden family, he deserves to give up the position of his grandson that belongs to him? In this case, why did he let the daughter of the Huo family marry into the East Palace in the first place?

Thinking of this, the corners of his lips couldn't help but provoke some coldness.

Xie Wan raised his head and said, "What's wrong?" ”

He hugged her belly and said, "It's nothing, I just think that the emperor is a little crazy playing with power." ”

Xie Wan shook his hand and said with a smile: "Secretly slandering the emperor, it is so disrespectful." ”

Yin Yu kissed the back of her hand, hugged her and said, "Who doesn't say anything behind your back?" If I were the emperor, I would speak widely, whatever people say. ”

Xie Wan was stunned this time.

Xie Rong's file was placed on the imperial case at this moment, and the emperor stared at it, with no joy or anger on his face.

As long as he saw it and stamped it, Xie Rong's crime was truly decided. Xie Rong is guilty, and the crime is unforgivable, but he is indeed a talent. Over the years, the criminal department has been well organized by him, and he is good at observing, for example, this time, he actually saw that he didn't want Yin Yu to be his grandson, even if others knew, they didn't dare to say it, but he handed him to him as a bargaining chip with an open-minded mentality.

When it comes to the crimes he committed with Ji Zhenyuan, he really feels that he is innocent of death, but as he said, after Ji Zhenyuan falls, who else in the court can compete with the Huo family? Xie Rong nominated himself. He has this ability, he is calm, and he is good at judging the situation, as long as he has the opportunity and a platform, he will not perform worse than Ji Zhenyuan.

Xie Rong's biggest weakness is that he is too strong, as long as he firmly grasps this, he is not afraid that he will not be controlled.

It is true that if he thinks so, there is a good reason to forgive Xie Rong, but things can't stand deep thought, as long as he thinks of how many times he hurt Yin Yu, he feels that a fire is bubbling out, although he doesn't want Yin Yu to be the grandson, but he never wants his life, otherwise, why does he have to wait until today?

After all, he is his grandson, his blood inheritance, and his feelings for him are not much different from those for the crown prince. But Xie Rong actually dared to touch his grandson, and he dared to kill him! He didn't take him as an emperor in his eyes!

He must not forgive him for this.

He threw the dossier to Zhang Zhen's feet, "Shangxi!" ”

Zhang Zhen stood silently on the side for a long time, and when he saw that he suddenly made up his mind, he bent down and picked up the file. But he didn't retreat, but slowly walked to the front of the imperial case and said: "Your Majesty, Xie Rong's match, when it comes to the prince, he will definitely die." If Xie Rong is dead, the court will be Huoda's world. ”

"I know." The Emperor sighed, "But how can you let me forget the fact that they are plotting to assassinate Yu'er?" "Not to mention how much he values Yin Yu, just say that if he is spared this time, what dignity will the Yin family have in the eyes of the world in the future? Isn't it true that anyone can attack the heavenly family, and everyone can defy the emperor's authority?

Zhang Zhen saw his angry appearance, was silent, and then said: "The emperor feels sorry for the prince, so doesn't he feel sorry for Prince Hui'an?" ”

The emperor was shocked and raised his eyes suddenly. (To be continued.) )
