Chapter 40: A Bolt from the Clear
Xiao Rui snorted coldly: "Master Hu, is this how you handled the case?" Since there is a suspicion, shouldn't the suspect be arrested back to the yamen first? ”
Hu Deyan looked at Fang Tianshu and Hong Guoting, gritted his teeth and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, although you are a Qincha, but you are a Qincha who inspects Ba Province, it seems that our Hu Province has not received an order to obey the Qincha, the military and political affairs of our Hu Province, as a prince, it is better for you not to take care of it too much?" ”
Xiao Rui is about to laugh angrily, this Hu Deyan is just a governor, and he dares to talk to him, a super prince, like this, who is this relying on? Needless to say, isn't it his eldest brother of the crown prince? This Hu Deyan is a person who is the crown prince, and he doesn't even care about him as a prince. Hmph, I really don't know what to say.
Hu Deyan saw that Xiao Rui was so angry that he couldn't speak, and Feng Yi on the side still had to speak, he knew that in this matter, it was not enough to block King Qin, the key was Qin Mingyue. was targeted by the Star Picking Tower, but I was afraid that I would not be able to protect the Fang family and the Hong family. There is no way, Hu Deyan can only let it go, anyway, he is on the side of the prince. As long as the crown prince succeeds to the throne in the future, the prince of Qin has no possibility of being in power, and Hu Deyan is really not afraid of him.
So, now all you need to do is plug Qin Mingyue's mouth. Hu Deyan knew that it was useless to beg Qin Mingyue for mercy at this time, after all, these incriminating evidence were collected by Qin Mingyue. Hu Deyan had a plan in an instant, and now his plan can only be to advance as retreat, he ignored Xiao Rui, and said directly to Qin Mingyue: "Miss Mingyue, regarding this Taoist issue, the imperial court has not made it clear, and my Hu Province does not dare to act first." ”
Hu Deyan's words made the people in an uproar. Everyone knows that in this part of Hu Province, it is Hu Deyan, the governor who manages government affairs, who speaks most effectively, if he does not support the establishment of Taoism, even if he has money, this Taoism cannot be established. Unless, Wang Tingshi, who is at the same level as him, can refute Hu Deyan. Therefore, everyone looked at Wang Yifan.
When Wang Yifan saw this, he still didn't understand. Although he didn't dare to offend King Qin at all, nor did he dare to offend the future national teacher Qin Mingyue, but he had been fed by the Fang family and the Hong family for many years, if he abandoned the Fang family and the Hong family at this time, these two families would not be willing, besides, he had already become a grasshopper on a rope with Hu Deyan, and he could only obey Hu Deyan's orders.
Wang Yifan coughed and said: "Without the express order of the imperial court, this official is the assassin of Hu Province, and if he finds that someone is gathered, he will go to investigate." Who knows, is it a rebellion? ”
What's the button for this hat? Some of the people began to scold their mothers in whispers. The real person of Fa Li was even more angry, and his beard was curled: "Lord Wang? Are you saying that my Daomen is rebelling? I gather people in my Taoist temple, not to study, but to rebel? It's really a big joke in the world. ”
Wang Yifan's eyes widened, and the murderous aura on his body also came out: "What's wrong with Daomen?" Daomen is also the people of the Great Zhou, and Daomen is also in Hu Province, as long as it is in Hu Province, in order to protect the safety of the people of Hu Province and maintain the imperial court, the official must investigate to the end. ”
The law is not good. But there is nothing to be done. After all, Hu Deyan and Wang Yifan are both big officials in Lake Province, and there is really no one in Lake Province who can cure them.
At this time, a person quickly ran up and gave Feng Yi an official document. Feng Yi glanced at it, suddenly became solemn, and quickly handed it to Qin Mingyue.
Qin Mingyue looked at it, had no expression, and handed it directly to Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui couldn't help but be taken aback, walked to the front of the stage, and said loudly: "Eight hundred miles of urgent report, the order to the world, the prince rebelled, has been banned by the emperor, the prince and his party, arrested on the spot, sent to the capital for trial." ”
As soon as he said this, there was silence in front of the Confucius Temple, what kind of thunderbolt was this, the prince rebelled, what is the situation? Although Lake Province is far away from the capital, this is also the land of the Great Zhou? The country is shaken, who is not curious, who is not panicked?
The people's reaction was average, after all, the distance between them and those big people was too far, and the affairs of the capital, who became the emperor was not as important to them as who was the county commander.
However, the more than 200 Confucian scholars around the ring reacted differently. Everyone is talking about it. The faces of the five big Confucians in the ring were also wonderful.
Fang Tianshu and Hong Guoting's faces turned even paler. Zhang Nianshan frowned tightly and shook his head. For a master of science like him, how contrary is it to use the son against the father?
Shao Mingyang sneered. Jiang Yuxuan shook his head and sighed. His eyes also looked at Hu Deyan and Wang Yifan.
Wang Yifan was still murderous and majestic just now. Now his face was pale and panicked, and he could only look at Hu Deyan.
Hu Deyan didn't believe that this was true at all, he rushed over and shouted: "Impossible, impossible, the prince was wronged, how is this possible." He is already the crown prince, why should he rebel? ”
Xiao Rui sneered and said to the guards beside him: "The princes of Hu Province are Hu Deyan and Wang Yifan. Come, take the two of them down, and return to the governor's yamen. ”
Under the leadership of Xiao Rui, the guards arrested Hu Deyan and Wang Yifan, and everyone went to the governor's yamen. Qin Mingyue slowly stood up and took the leaders of the Dao Sect to the garden where she stayed to discuss things.
It wasn't until midnight that Xiao Rui hurriedly came back and said to Qin Mingyue: "Hu Deyan and Wang Yifan have been arrested and taken into prison by me. They will be escorted to the capital in a few days. I have appointed the transshipment envoy to act as the governor temporarily, and I am waiting for the court to send another representative over. ”
"The post of assassin of Lake Province is also temporarily replaced by the garrison of Yilan City, and this garrison is a good person. I have already instructed him to surround the Hu family, the Wang family, the Fang family, and the Hong family. If it is found out tomorrow, we will first raid the Hu family and the Wang family, find out the connection with the prince, letters and the like. If you can find out the fact that they are corrupt and pervert the law, you will be able to raid the house. ”
Qin Mingyue smiled casually: "You will definitely be able to find it." Actually, I have already found out that Hu Deyan has made a lot of money in Hu Province. Among them, the Fang family and the Hong family are his accomplices. Half of the money illegally obtained by the Fang family and the Hong family was sent to the prince, twenty percent went to Hu Deyan, and the remaining thirty percent was his own. Hu Deyan gave Wang Yifan 50,000 to 100,000 silver every year. ”
Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, no wonder Qin Mingyue was in her chest, it turned out that she had already collected evidence in this regard in her hands. Xiao Rui smiled and said: "That relationship is good, I will search tomorrow, but you also have to give me the incriminating evidence in your hand and use it together, so that Hu Deyan and Wang Yifan can't turn over." ”
Qin Mingyue said: "What is this, I will ask Feng Yi to send it to you tomorrow." However, compared to the matter in Lake Province, I want to ask, what happened in the capital? ”
