Chapter 430: Serial Double Kills
At noon the next day, the two major entertainment newspapers in Beijing, "Tabloid and Tokyo Xinbao", began to sell the day's newspapers, and "Tokyo Xinbao" published an eye-catching news on the front page, "Murder and arson, Song Zhen's nephew committed murder and evil."
The tabloid newspaper also reported on the incident on the second page, and although it was not as exaggerated as the Hong Kong Economic Journal, the content was consistent, and Song Zhizhu forcibly seized the people's wealth and set fire to the largest strange stone pavilion in the capital.
But the murder is indeed a fact, it was an old case two years ago, Song Zhizhu forcibly occupied a private house and killed the bitter master, and the "Hong Kong Economic Journal" connected the two things together.
This news spread throughout the capital like a gust of wind, from high-ranking officials to porters, from nobles to commoners, from the discussion of the magistrate's hall to the chatter of the washerwoman by the well, in just half a day, Song Zhen was completely popular.
In fact, there was another more eye-catching event at the fifth watch, Zhang Yaozuo's attempt to create Ruizhao failed, but this matter was suppressed by Fan Ning and did not let Bao Zheng leak out, Zhang Guifei's funeral is not over after all, if this matter is full of wind and rain in the city, it will offend the reverse scales of the Son of Heaven, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
This matter is enough to find an opportunity to give the Son of Heaven a hint and let Zhao Zhen understand this matter, many times, the drum does not need to use a heavy hammer.
Song Zhen himself knew about this relatively late, and he reviewed the annual recitals sent by several states today, and stayed in the official room until the afternoon, when he reviewed all the recitals, and then put down his pen and went to the courtyard to relax.
As he walked through a small door, he heard several officials on the other side of the door talking about something.
"This Song Nosuke is too stupid, he went to the scene, and he deserved to be caught!"
Song Zhen stopped suddenly, 'Song Zhisuke', isn't this his nephew's name?
He walked through the small door, only to see that it was three servants hiding here to rest, Song Zhen's eyes widened, "What were you talking about just now?" ”
The three servants almost jumped up in fright, instinctively turned around and ran, and in a blink of an eye, they ran away, Song Zhen couldn't catch up with them, so he had to scold a few words and return to the official room with hatred.
The more Song Zhen thought about it, the more wrong it became, why did the three of them see that they were running, they didn't make any mistakes, but their faces changed with fright, there must be a problem.
A gut instinct told him that something might have happened to his nephew, Song Nosuke.
Back in the official room, Song Zhen immediately called his tea boy and asked, "Is there something going on outside, about the Song family or my nephew?" ”
He knew that this little tea boy liked to get together and listen to stories, and he must know this kind of thing.
Of course, the little tea boy knew what was going on, but he had followed Song Zhen into a villain in the past few years, and he didn't want this kind of thing to be told to the master by himself, so he kept pretending not to know.
But now he couldn't hide, the old man's vicious eyes made him frightened, and after a while, he lowered his head and said, "Didn't the old man read today's newspaper?" ”
Song Zhen was stunned, he glanced at the three newspapers on the table, he really didn't have time to read it, he grabbed a newspaper casually, it happened to be the "Tokyo Letter",
His eyes fell on the instigating headline on the front page, "Murder and arson, Song Zhen connived at his nephew and did evil".
Song Zhen's eyes widened, he suddenly became angry and anxious, slapped the newspaper on the table and roared: "It's just nonsense, blood spurts!" ”
This is indeed Song Zhen's fault, he doesn't read the content, and his first reaction is that the newspaper is spewing blood.
In history, Song Zhen twice planted on conniving at his children to do evil, the root is here, he is too protective of his shortcomings, so that his nephews are in trouble outside, and he also turns a blind eye.
Of course, it is also the name of the "Hong Kong Economic Daily" that is too sensational and misleading, as if Song Zhen knew about it, but indulged it, in fact, Song Zhen didn't know it at all, no matter how short he was, he would not be stupid enough to acquiesce to his nephew to burn other people's houses, and it was also the property of the Fan family.
Song Zhen was so angry in his heart that he tore the newspaper to shreds, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the corner, the little tea boy was so frightened that he quietly retreated.
After a long time, Song Zhen calmed down a little, and he wanted to know what was going on? But the Hong Kong Economic Journal had been torn to shreds by him, and he had to pick up the tabloid, and he found the relevant report on the second page.
At this time, he was a little nervous in his heart, you must know that Qian Mingyi also supported Zhao Wenyun, the king of Langya, if the news was fake, "Tabloid" would never publish it, and now "Tabloid News" also published this matter, which means that this matter is true, and his nephew Song Zhizhu is really in trouble.
Song Zhen became more and more calm, and after he finished reading the entire article of "Tabloid Newspaper", he suddenly sat down in his chair, weak, and he knew that he was finished this time.
The official who impeached Song Zhen was Li Weizhen, the doctor of the left advice, after Fan Ning Ding Wei was relieved of his post and the concurrently Bao Zheng was reappointed as the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, Li Weizhen finally had enough qualifications to ascend to the position, which was the result of Han Qi's recommendation, and it was also the result of Fan Ning's recommendation of Li Weizhen to Han Qi.
But impeaching Xiangguo is not so easy, in the imperial study, Zhao Zhen read the impeachment report, pondered for a long time and asked Han Qi: "This strange stone hall is opened by the Fan family, what does it have to do with Fan Zhongyan?" ”
Han Qi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, that strange stone pavilion has nothing to do with Fan Zhongyan, but it has something to do with Fan Ning. ”
"What is the reason for this?"
"Your Majesty, this shop was opened by Fan Ning before participating in the imperial examination, specializing in Tian Huangshi, he accounted for seventy percent of the shares, Zhu Yuanfeng accounted for thirty percent of the shares, and later when he was ready to go to sea to create Kunzhou, he transferred the seventy percent to his second uncle, which is now the big shopkeeper of the Strange Stone Pavilion."
Zhao Zhen walked a few steps and asked, "Do the nephews of the Song family have a grudge against Fan Ning?" ”
"No grudges?"
"Since there is no grudge, then why did they take a fancy to the Strange Stone Pavilion?"
This is the key to the whole incident, even more critical than the sudden appearance of the Kaifeng Mansion archers, the appearance of the Kaifeng Mansion archers can also be explained by Fan Tiege's report after being threatened during the day, but it is difficult to explain why the Song family's nephews targeted the Strange Stone Pavilion, there are so many shops in the capital, why do they take a fancy to the Strange Stone Pavilion?
Han Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Someone should have instigated them. ”
Zhao Zhen immediately understood that the Song family's son and nephew were being used, and he immediately lost interest, and he didn't want to know who instigated it.
But the fact that the sons and nephews of the Song family were instigated does not mean that they are innocent, Zhao Zhen's heart is like a mirror, Song Zhen has been ruined and can no longer be Xiangguo, he nodded, "I know about this matter!" ”
Han Qi didn't retreat, he took out another copy of the memo and put it on the imperial case, "Your Majesty, there is another matter involving the king of Langya County, but it is not public, Weichen resigns!" ”
Han Qi saluted and retired.
Zhao Zhen looked at the fold and still took it.
But when he saw the content of the compromise clearly, of course Han Qi would not lie to himself, this must be true, the content of the compromise made Zhao Zhen's pupils shrink into a line suddenly, and then he was furious in his heart.
Ruizhao, Tianzhao, and auspicious signs are not impossible to do, but that must be done with their own consent, that is the will of God, and can only be decided by the Son of Heaven, what do you want to do Zhang Yaozuo?
I have endured last year's fish belly brocade book, and I don't care about it anymore, and now there is another Langya to stand up, and the limit of Zhao Zhen's patience is about to explode.
He pondered for a long time, and said to the little eunuch at the door: "The chief of the Xuanshan has come to see me!" ”
After a while, an old eunuch hurriedly walked into the imperial study, his name was Shan Wenzhong, he was the deputy head of the palace, and he was originally a eunuch in the palace of Zhang Guifei.
He stepped forward and knelt down and saluted, "Slave greetings Your Majesty!" ”
Zhao Zhen handed him the fold, "You go to Taishi Zhang's mansion now and give him this fold!" ”
"The old slave obeys!"
Shan Wenzhong took the fold and got up.
Zhao Zhen walked a few steps in the study with his hands in his hands, thinking of the stupid and arrogant Zhang Yaozuo, which made him very annoyed in his heart, but he suddenly thought of his concubine who died of illness, and the anger in his heart couldn't come out, and he was confused for a while.
