Chapter 56

When Yu Xianlong arrived at the prison, it was already in flames and smoke. Yu Xianlong wants to break into the prison, here is not only the evidence of Chen Mao's bullying of the king, but also the Taifu Yin who he regards as his biological father. At this time, he still cared about Chen Mao in his heart, and only hoped that Mrs. Yin would be safe and sound.

The Imperial Forest Army and Dali Temple all joined the firefighting team.

He was crazy and wanted to rush in, but was dragged by the people next to him. "To the guards, no. The fire is so big, you ...... in."

Yu Xianlong shouted angrily, "Let me go, otherwise I'm welcome." ”

The fire in the prison alarmed Shangguan Jun, and when Shangguan Jun came, Yu Xianlong was breaking free from the shackles of others and wanted to pounce in. Everyone shouted "Hurray,"

He also knelt down and saluted. Shangguan Jun saw Yu Xianlong and asked him to come forward.

"Your Majesty, let the ministers go in and save people, Yin ...... Taifu is still in prison. ”

"It's useless for you to go in such a fire, I have ordered someone to put out the fire quickly, hurry up."

Yu Xianlong couldn't resist the decree, looking for an opportunity to sneak in.

The fire has been brought under control, but it is still smoky, and the smell of burning at the scene is rushing to the face. The Imperial Guards guarded Shangguan Jun's safety.

The fire gradually extinguished, and the officers and soldiers began to search and rescue, and charred corpses were carried out from inside. Shangguan Jun frowned when he looked at it.

Yu Xianlong couldn't stand it, and clenched his fists and begged Shangguan Jun, and Shangguan Jun showed with his eyes.

He thanked him and rushed in.

At this time, a large number of people, Chen Mao walked in front, looking at this tragic scene and crying.

"My son, why did you leave, because my father didn't even see you for the last time." Everyone who heard it was sad.

Shangguan Jun stepped forward to help him get up, "General Chen, mourn." ”

"Your Majesty, this must be a deliberate plan, please ask the emperor to be the master of the ministers."

"Don't worry, general, I will definitely give you an explanation, and I will find out about this fire."

Yu Xianlong rushed in and looked at the burned and ruined prison, thinking of discussing Chen Mao's matter with Taifu yesterday, but now heaven and man are separated forever, he doesn't believe that this is a natural disaster.

In the end, he still didn't find Taifu Yin's body, and the corpses he carried out were all burned, and he couldn't tell which one was him. At this moment, he really hoped that he had the ability to reach the sky, and escaped while the fire was in danger. But how is this possible?

Yu Xianlong began to regret it, if he had come back earlier, he might have saved Mrs. Yin's life. He came out dejectedly, and saw Chen Mao, who was crying bitterly, and lost his temper. Three or two steps approached him and grabbed him by the collar.

"Chen Mao, did you do this?"

Chen Mao looked at the angry Yu Xianlong, snorted and said to Shangguan Jun with tears: "The emperor wants to be the master of the ministers." ”

Shangguan Jun drank Yu Xianlong, and Yu Xianlong let go of Chen Mao. was about to report the matter in detail, Chen Mao preemptively opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, do you think this fire was deliberately caused by someone?"

Shangguan Jun frowned, "Let's hear it." ”

"The minister is packing up in the house and preparing to return to Jincheng tomorrow. However, he," Chen Mao pointed at Li Shiming, "Lord Li said that the prisoner escaped from the prison and entered the minister's mansion. ”

Shangguan Jun asked Li Shiming again, "Is there such a thing?" β€œ

Li Shiming nodded affirmatively.

"This is indeed the case, and this is what the minister has seen with his own eyes." Yu Xianlong stepped forward to reply.

Shangguan Jun was surprised at how Xianlong could be involved.

Yu Xianlong was neither humble nor arrogant, and told Shangguan Jun what Taifu Yin saw and heard in prison.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, if this is true, then Chen Mao will inevitably die, if it is false, this is the same capital crime of framing the court officials.

But Yu Xianlong is obviously confident.

"You can find a little clue in General Chen's mansion, Lord Li?" Shangguan Jun looked at Li Shiming.

Li Shiming shook his head and added, "The minister thinks that Lord Chen must have hidden the prisoner." ”

"Come on, report the prisoners registered in the prison and the people on duty today."

Dali Siqing hurriedly ordered people to sort out and investigate.

Taking advantage of the efforts of the finishing staff of Dali Temple, Shangguan Jun asked Yu Xianlong again.

Yu Xianlong reported in detail the 1510 things that had been tracking Niu Erbao in recent days.

Shangguan Jun was silent.

After the number of people in Dali Temple was counted, the results were reported to Shangguan Jun. The number of people is just right, there is no shortage, no less. That is, no one has ever gone out at all. Or......

Some of these people were lying, but Shangguan Jun was difficult to distinguish for a while.

And the person on duty was Niu Erbao, which means that Niu Erbao also died in this fire. But, since this is the case, who did Yu Xianlong see? Or maybe he didn't see it at all?

Shangguan Jun began to quickly sort out these fragments in his mind. He wanted to catch the loophole, but he didn't have the slightest eyebrow.

At this moment, Chen Mao cried bitterly at one of the corpses. He held the ring on the corpse's hand and pointed it to Shangguan Jun.

"Your Majesty, this is the ring that Wu'er has been wearing." Tears broke down again. The people around him persuaded him to mourn.

Chen Mao crawled in front of Shangguan Jun, "Ask the emperor to call the shots for the ministers." Today, Master Li searched Chen's house for no reason, and I think he is the person behind the fire. What he wants to save is Mrs. Yin, who has long been dissatisfied with Mrs. Yin's imprisonment, and when they see Wu'er in prison, they want to frame the blame. ”

Li Shiming was angry, "Chen Mao, don't be a fool, I am closer to Mrs. Yin, but it is between friends, and we never talk about political affairs." ”

"Who can testify for you, you, even him Yu Xianlong are all Yin Taifu's people, who doesn't know. Yu guards and Mrs. Yin walked the closest, in order to save Mrs. Yin, you dragged my son into the water, and let these innocent people suffer. ”

Shangguan Jun was furious, "What Chen Mao said is the truth, Li Shiming, Yu Xianlong, you give me an explanation." ”

"Taifu Yin and the minister are not like their father, they are better than their father, the minister believes in his character, if he didn't have the evidence, he wouldn't let the minister investigate this matter. Besides, the minister did find out that Niu Erbao was unusual. ”

Li Shiming also echoed.

Shangguan Jun is getting more and more unbearable, these people don't mention Taifu Yin, it's okay, as soon as he mentions him, he gets angry. Chen Mao gave him another explanation.

He should have given an explanation. He referred the matter to the Criminal Department. Li Shiming was temporarily detained in the Criminal Department of Hsien Loong, and the two were released after the matter was clarified.

He also understood Chen Mao's grief of losing his son in old age, took Chen Mao back to his home to deal with the aftermath, and allowed Chen Yin to go back to his house to offer condolences. Shangguan Jun's generous treatment of the Chen family has to be said to a certain extent.

Li Shiming complained to Shangguan Jun in prison, "There are obviously flaws here, why didn't the emperor arrest Chen Mao." Looking at Chen Mao's heartache in front of the emperor, I can't wait to raise Chen Jing three feet. ”

Yu Xianlong was silent, he was thinking about whether there were any flaws in tracking Niu Erbao in the past few days, and whether anyone else had discovered him. Otherwise, it was such a coincidence, and the prison was on fire. And Niu Erbao also buried the sea of fire. It can only show that Chen Mao is hiding people's eyes and ears and killing people.

Now Mrs. Yin and Niu Erbao have been buried in the fire, and the key witnesses have disappeared. If they are used by those who have a heart, then they will not escape prison if they do not die. After all, the struggle between the old school and the new school has never been broken.

Sure enough, when the two parties insisted on their own words, the new faction supported Chen Mao's rhetoric, after all, the great crime of the Nine Clans, why did Chen Mao take such a risk for an adopted son. The old school supported Lee Shiming Yu Hsien Loong. They just believe in what they are. What's more, Yu Xianlong and Chen Mao have no grievances and no enmity, why frame him. There is still a voice from the new faction, and Yu Xianlong is under the instruction of the queen's mother. to defeat the Chen family, so as to regain the right to rule the six palaces. The struggle in the harem evolved into a struggle between the party and the government in the court.

The dispute between the old and the new was originally an open and secret fight, but now it has developed to the bright side, and the trouble is boiling. Shangguan Jun knew it was time to settle the matter.

Previously, someone in the new faction proposed to retry the case of Shen Taiwei's salt and iron theory, and Shangguan Jun kept suppressing it. Now, it's time to bring up the matter together.

Yin Taifu, who supported the salt and iron private sector back then, has passed away, and the remaining henchmen Li Shiming and several others are still officials in the DPRK. Shangguan Jun took advantage of this to make trouble, which was to punish Yin Taifu and his party.

After investigation, although Taiwei Shen was said to be a protΓ©gΓ© of Yin Wangye, he was only grateful for Yin Wangye's kindness, but he never participated in Yin Wangye's decision-making. At that time, someone instigated the power of public opinion, which made Taiwei Shen bear the charge. Now Shangguan Jun has made a name for him.

People have again begun to scold those behind the incitement of public opinion and demand that they be severely punished. Some people made great use of the grievances between Li Shiming and Chen Mao, so that Li Shiming became a traitorous villain who framed important ministers.

Li Shiming was sentenced to death, and the rest of the people were also sentenced to heavy sentences. Some old people in the court found Jing Chen and begged her to stand up and speak for them.

One is the old man of the previous dynasty, and the other is his husband, Jing Chen is in a dilemma. Hearing that Yu Xianlong was also sentenced to a heavy sentence, she had to go to Shangguan Jun.

When Jing Chen asked to see him, Shangguan Jun was reviewing the recitals. When those old ministers went to the queen's palace to ask to see Jing Chen, Shangguan Jun already knew the news.

The matter has come to this, and as the king of a country, he has to take some means to control people.

"What's wrong, Yi'er is okay." Shangguan Jun spoke first.

"She's asleep, I have something I want to confirm with you."

"Tell me what's going on." Shangguan Jun pulled her to sit in front of the soft couch.

Jing Chen looked at him and figured out his thoughts. "You know Yu Xianlong's personality, he is not the kind of person who frames flattery."

Shangguan Jun glanced at her, she lowered her head, and a lock of hair fell off to cover her face. He tucked her behind her ear.

said idly, "If it was Yu Xianlong in the past, maybe not, but who can guarantee the current Yu Xianlong." ”

"But I believe he ......"

"However, he was bewitched by Mrs. Yin." Shangguan Jun interrupted her.

"He won't ......."

"That's me wronging him." Shangguan Jun raised his voice.

"We don't mention him, but talk about the past, salt and iron........ I don't think you don't know the inside story, why did Taifu Yin agree, although it was instructed by my father, but at that time, the Central Plains was in ruins. Salt iron private that is in line with the facts...... Although it is privately owned, it is still in ..... I don't understand why you're reopening this case now. At that time, Mrs. Shen was a scapegoat, and now, Mrs. Yin and Li Shiming are also scapegoats. ”

Shangguan Jun smiled when he looked at Jing Chen in front of him, but Jing Chen felt creepy.

"It's not that you don't know anything about who said it, or did you know everything from the beginning, but you just didn't say it."

"I knew it from the beginning, and I also knew that it was not only Lord Li who was walking around, but also ...... today. Now, you have only dealt with Li Shiming, and you are only doing this to suppress the old school. ”

With a bang, the sound of the cup breaking came, Jing Chen looked at Shangguan Jun, and the two looked at each other. Shangguan Jun's eyes were filled with coldness. Yin Jingchen couldn't help but shudder......
