Mo Lan raised his eyes and looked at the emperor, "Erchen doesn't know him!" I only know that he is a businessman from Jiangnan, and I don't know anything else. ”

What he said was something that the high-ranking officials in the capital knew, who let that Ruan Jingning be so high-profile and buy an official position with 500,000 taels of gold, he couldn't even think about it, so he simply didn't pretend.

The prince couldn't wait to say, "Fifth brother, will this finally admit it?" Tonight, you took Ruan Jingning and the official Shangshu away from the Red Mansion together, but now Ruan Jingning's body is found in the capital, fifth brother, do you want to explain? ”

This is where Mo Lan feels the most powerless, Ruan Jingning stayed with him in the end, when he took people away from the Red Mansion, many people saw it, and they couldn't deny it, but at this time, he must not admit anything, otherwise he will really be finished!

"Ruan Jingning and the Ministry of Shangshu did not know, this king only found out tonight, so he took someone to the Red Mansion to arrest the two and wanted to bring them back to his father to decide, but he didn't expect this Ruan Jingning to suddenly escape halfway, as for this letter, it doesn't mean anything, this king has never written this thing, doesn't my father think it's strange? Isn't the purpose of all this happening tonight to cause us to fight among ourselves? Please check it out! ”

Speaking of the back, Mo Lan pushed the matter cleanly, and the simple interpretation is that Ruan Jingning was recruited by the Ministry of Officials, as for any cooperation, he never participated, and even today only learned about this matter, and took people to arrest people, the reason is reasonable, and he directly denied that he had written this letter.

The crown prince didn't want to let go of this good opportunity, so he hurriedly spoke, "Lord Liang, if you don't tell the truth again, you will not only commit the crime of selling official positions, but the great crime of treason. What benefits did the fifth brother give you? You are willing to bury him with the lives of your whole clan? ”

The whole person of the official department was shaking like a sieve at this time, what the prince said, he just thought that if these were confirmed to be true, it would be real treason, this is not just a matter of whether the black yarn hat can be saved, but a threat to the lives of his entire clan!

Immediately paralyzed with fright, "Emperor...... Your Majesty, this matter ...... Weichen really doesn't know anything about this...... I only know that this Ruan Jingning is a merchant from Jiangnan, but ...... But Weichen really didn't know that he was actually the royal family of the Wind Country...... It's true that the minister loves money, but the minister is loyal to Donglin, the emperor...... Please...... Please spare my Liang Mansion ......"

The emperor looked at him coldly, and the disgusted two kicked away, and suddenly there was a noise outside, and the words of the father-in-law came from outside, "Your Majesty, leave His Royal Highness to ask to see him." ”

The emperor snorted coldly, "He will rush to the excitement and let him in." ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned around and returned to it, his face was gloomy, now it is not just a matter of selling the official mantle, it involves the country of wind, at this time, Mo Li came over, it must not be a good thing.

What the emperor thought in his heart was true, Mo Li really came in, but he was not alone, and he was followed by a man, it was Jinke Tanhualang, Chu Ran.

"Erchen has seen his father!" Mo Li made a decent salute, Mo Lan kept staring at him when Mo Li came in, seeing that he was really like no one, and he didn't know how angry he was, it was really fateful!

Mo Li inadvertently glanced at Mo Lan, who was kneeling on the ground, with a mocking expression, and then glanced at Tanhualang, Chu Ran got Mo Li's eyes, turned around and knelt down, "Weichen see the emperor!" ”

The corners of the emperor's mouth hooked up the arc of mockery, "Tanhualang is very skilled, you can escape if I put you in prison, it is really a good skill, do you still take me in your eyes!" ”

The emperor slapped the table angrily, Chu Ran was startled, Mo Li's expression was as usual, and he even had a faint smile, "Tanhualang, it seems that you need to explain to your father why you escaped." ”

Tanhualang nodded, "Your Majesty, Lord Guo's son was not killed by the minister, at that time, Lord Liang suddenly asked me to go to the Red Mansion to drink, the minister didn't want to go, but Lord Liang said that I was going to leave Beijing to take up a local post, so he wanted to see me off, and the minister followed Lord Liang to the Red Mansion because of his hospitality." ”

"Lord Liang promised many benefits to the minister, and the minister was puzzled, because the minister and Lord Liang had no intersection at all, and Lord Liang suddenly promised me benefits, and the minister was uneasy, and sure enough, Lord Liang's final condition was to let the minister give up the position of the local state capital."

Chu Ran said, glancing at the official book, the official department was already stupid at this time, lowered his head and did not speak, Mo Lan's eyes were still the same, but he knew in his heart that he was afraid that he was in danger.

Chu Ran continued: "Later, I didn't agree, a few people suddenly came in the room where I was eating with Lord Liang, Lord Guo's son-in-law was also there, and the Oiran was also there, Lord Liang asked me if I agreed, otherwise he would make me regret it, I just didn't agree at the time, and then ...... Lord Liang strangled Guo Gongzi to death in front of everyone...... If he had known that it would affect Guo Gongzi, the minister would definitely think of a roundabout way! ”

"The surname is Liang! Sure enough, it's you! After listening to Tanhualang's words, Lord Guo suddenly went violent, and when he got up, he wanted to rush towards the official book, but the emperor was bored and called the guards to drag the two out.

The emperor looked at Tanhualang next, "Chu Ran, whether you have been wronged in this matter remains to be investigated, but if you escape from prison without permission, I can also punish you!" ”

Chu Ran nodded, "The minister is guilty!" Please punish the emperor! ”

The father-in-law walked in from the outside at this time, walked up to the emperor and whispered, the emperor's eyes were like ice, and his eyes staring at Mo Lan seemed to be like a sharp knife.

Finally, he ordered in a deep voice, "Put King Lan and the Ministry of Shangshu into the prison!" Waiting for trial! ”

Mo Li lowered his head and looked at Mo Lan with a wicked smile, "Tsk, King Lan, it seems that in the next few days, you will have to spend the next few days with the rat in the cell, hum." ”

Mo Li's ridicule Mo Lan saw it in his eyes, and he also saw the emperor's coldness in his eyes, the guards outside came in, I don't know if I should start to set Mo Lan up, Mo Lan has already got up by himself, he walked in front of Mo Li, the two were very close, their eyes met, the gloom in Mo Lan's eyes was chilling, but Mo Li's face did not change, "Fifth brother, let's go, I will go to the prison to see you, but you have to wait for me." ”

Mo Lan snorted coldly, shook off the guards, and strode forward by himself, the official Shangshu was paralyzed into mud at this time, and the whole person was dragged out like this, he never thought that Ruan Jingning would actually be involved with the royal family of the Feng Kingdom, so he would be miserable!

The emperor looked at everyone coldly above, and Mo Lan was taken away, so he waved his hand to let everyone retreat, and Mo Li was also about to leave, but was stopped by the emperor, "Li'er, you stay." ”

Mo Li's eyes turned cold, but he also stopped according to his words, and turned to look at the emperor, "Does my father have anything else to explain?" ”
