This time the matter was not big, it was not small, but General Tong didn't pay attention to it anymore, but after returning home, he asked Tao Muxin not to go back to his parents' house frequently, obviously still affected by rumors, but after that, he didn't continue to pay attention to this, thinking that everyone would talk about it, and it would be over.

But I didn't expect that this matter was getting bigger and bigger, and it was getting more and more outrageous, the key is that all kinds of evidence were gradually put on the surface, and some people in the DPRK and China began to play excerpts of these contents.

"Your Majesty, the heart of this Tao family Sima Zhao is known to passers-by! How long has it been since the news was sent back to the capital? If it was a true rumor, it should have been dispersed a long time ago, but looking at the situation now, it is obviously wrong! It's all spread on the Windy Country! I saw with my own eyes that the shopkeeper of the Tao family went in and out with the little prince of the Wind Country, and the voice of the Tao family in the Wind Country, and the royal family of the Wind Country had already sent someone to intervene! ”

This is what a Cambodian official in the court said, as soon as he finished speaking, Prime Minister Taishi Huaiyu came out to speak, "Your Majesty, what Lord Liu said is also what the minister said in his heart, presumably the official department Shangshu also knew about it, but he didn't report it, he married Tao Qingrou, but he didn't care about his good wife, and let him collude with the royal family of Fengguo, which is really worthy of being an official!" ”

The official Shangshu obviously didn't expect that he would be suddenly named, he has always acted softly, and if he doesn't hear it, he is cowardly, but the mud man still has a three-point temper, and he can't bear to be slandered like this, so he immediately retorted directly, "Prime Minister be cautious!" He is a businessman, and the business is big, not to mention whether the royal family of the following country has business dealings for the time being, even if there are business dealings, it is also a normal process, how did it become a collusion between the prime minister and Lord Liu? My wife's business is very good, but she also pays a lot of taxes! Why are you slandering her so much in front of the emperor! ”

The prime minister snorted coldly when he heard this, "According to what Lord Liu said, Tao Qinggently shouldn't pay taxes to the imperial court?" I think she clearly doesn't want to pay taxes to the imperial court, so she wants to run to the country of wind! ”

"You! You're spewing blood! Lord Liu didn't expect that his remarks about defending his wife would be so misinterpreted, and he was angry for a while, but he was stupid, and he didn't know what to say if he wanted to defend it, because Tao Qingrou never told him about business, that is, the last time she went back to the house and asked her if she had any business dealings with the royal family of the Wind Country, she just said that it was an ordinary business, and it was gone.

"That's it!" The emperor finally spoke and stopped the quarrel between the two, but it was obviously Taishi Huaiyu who had the upper hand, and in the past few years, it was the time when he was proud of the spring breeze, and the new official took office with three fires, and he had already seen the firewood of the Tao family, and was about to take the opportunity to light it, he knew that this was what the emperor had always wanted to do.

Taishi Huaiyu stopped talking, but gave a look to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department understood, and took a step forward, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do!" ”

"Say!"

"Your Majesty, recently the minister here has received a reaction from the local people, saying that the newly appointed county officials and state officials do not seem to be from Donglin, and they seem to be from Fengguo with an accent."

As soon as these words came out, the DPRK and China fell silent......

When General Tong said this, Tao Li'er had already heard some clues, was such an obvious framing serious? Those who believe it are mentally retarded, after a little scrutiny, I know that it is not tenable at all, and before General Tong finished talking about the next things, Tao Li'er supplemented the rest of the matter for him.

"Then because of this incident, the Emperor Taishang sent someone to investigate, and found that it was the official secretary in charge of the transfer of official positions, that is, my grandmother's husband Lord Liu, who colluded with Fengguo and arranged for the spies of Fengguo to be the magistrate of Donglin, so as to monitor Donglin, right?"

General Tong nodded in surprise when he heard this, he didn't expect Tao Li'er to be right, Tao Li'er set off a storm in her heart, and some people actually believed this kind of words! The key is that General Tong is still surprised, obviously still thinks so, Tao Li'er rolled her eyes in her heart, and said patiently on her face: "I found out the clues, did it prove that there was a lot of evidence later that it was indeed done by Lord Liu, such as Lord Liu's subordinates, the servants and others jumped out and said that it was all done by Lord Liu alone?" Local people still sign a joint letter or something? ”

General Tong could only nod blankly, and Tao Li'er snorted coldly, "So then Lord Liu will be imprisoned, and the Tao family will also be caught with the 'ironclad evidence' of collusion with the Wind Country, such as the transfer of the Tao family's property to the Wind Country, the marriage between the little prince of the Wind Country and the female shopkeeper of the Tao family, etc., are all true, and then the Tao family was sealed and beheaded all over the house, right?" ”

After Tao Li'er finished speaking, she hoped that General Tong would shake his head and deny this ridiculous conjecture, but unfortunately, General Tong nodded, Tao Li'er's heart was absurd, and the corners of her mouth hooked a smile that she didn't know how to describe, "General Tong, you have believed this kind of thing for more than ten years?" ”

This question made General Tong's heart empty, although he had doubts in his own recollection, but thinking of the angry expressions and words of everyone at that time, he did believe it, but at this time, listening to Tao Li'er sneak out of the matter so coldly, it seems that this treason conviction is a bit of a child's play.

"Hehehe......"

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter echoing in the study, General Tong looked over and found that it was Tao Li'er who was smiling, her face was full of sarcasm, but her eyes were full of anger, and suddenly, she turned her head to look at General Tong.

"General Tong, I want to ask, what kind of mood have you been in for so many years? This kind of pretending to be deaf and dumb and whitewashing the peace for the Mo family, why are you even involved, don't tell me that you didn't doubt it, I, don't believe it. ”

The last two words, Tao Li'er said very lightly, as if the tip of his tongue was full of mockery, General Tong was blocked by Tao Li'er, and he didn't know how to defend for a while, because Tao Li'er was telling the truth.

Tao Li'er really doesn't know what to say about General Tong's ten-year life of pretending to be deaf and dumb, what else can she say about self-deception?

"General Tong, I really don't know what kind of mood she was in when her mother died, her husband helped others slander her mother's family, presumably her mother should also regret entering Tong's mansion."

Tao Li'er directly tore open the scar that General Tong was most afraid of being mentioned, and General Tong's face changed when he heard this, but he still denied it, "I didn't!" I have never slandered the Tao family! ”

"Humph! Is it? Sometimes watching from the sidelines and pretending to be confused is more terrible than stabbing a knife directly! Tao Li'er's emotions were also a little excited, she really couldn't accept the fact that because of this kind of fragile lie, she could actually make the entire Tao family be beheaded, no wonder the Emperor Taishang wanted to erase this history, and issued an order not to mention it again, I must know how ridiculous this history is, afraid that future generations will poke him in the back?
