In the morning, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Sun Chengwen got off the sedan chair at the gate, he had just returned from the morning court, and his face was a little tired.

The housekeeper immediately walked over, clenched his fists and bowed his waist and said, "Xiangye, your clansman Sun Qisheng and Feng'an County Commander have been waiting for a long time, by the way, there is also Lord Yuan Hanzhe Yuan, the commander of the capital." ”

He frowned: "Why is Yuan Hanzhe here, didn't I ask you to pass on a message to him, and I must let him cooperate with Sun Qisheng and Dou Liangcai?"

The housekeeper replied: "I asked people to pass the word, and Lord Yuan was indeed very cooperative, but according to them, the Guodu Academy did not cooperate, and the messenger sent to arrest people ate the closed door, and later Lord Yuan came forward in person, but was scolded by Dongfang Pingtai and scolded back, and both times were all in vain." ”

"Waste. Sun Chengwen scolded in a low voice, raised his eyebrows and said: "Such a result is also expected, Dongfang Pingtai is not a master to be messed with, I will go to change clothes first and let them wait a while." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Sun Chengwen, who had changed into civilian clothes, came to the living room, and the three of them hurriedly got up to salute and greeted each other for a while before getting to the point.

Yuan Hanzhe recounted his encounter at the gate of Chinese culture in its original form, with dissatisfaction with Dongfang Pingtai in his tone, Dou Liangcai interjected from time to time, and Sun Qisheng was full of anger.

After listening to their narration, Sun Chengwen slapped the table: "It's really too much, as a priest of the temple and a priest of national learning, he is so protective of his students, does he still take the law of the country in his eyes?"

"Yes, he really went too far, and he didn't even sell the accounts of the Governor's Mansion. "Dou Liang is a guy who is good at sneaking around and slapping horses, and the reason why he followed Sun Qisheng to the capital to complain is not because of the private relationship between the two, but because of this opportunity to catch up with the court officials, so as to continue to climb up.

This time, he not only met Prime Minister Zuo, the head of the hundred officials, but also got into a relationship with the governor of the national capital, which can be said to be very fruitful, and he is thinking about what kind of generous gifts to prepare for these two people after he goes back, and climb up as quickly as possible.

Yuan Hanzhe said with a respectful expression: "Prime Minister Sun, did you mention this matter to the monarch in the early court today?"

Sun Chengwen shook his head and said: "What kind of result is on your side, the old man still doesn't know, even if it is mentioned in the court, because there is no full evidence, the monarch cannot give a conclusive conclusion, which will not benefit us at all, and it will also startle the snake, leaving Dongfang Pingtai enough time to deal with it." Since he refuses to cooperate, even if he is honest, he will be in the morning tomorrow. ”

Dou Liangcai hurriedly patted his ass and said: "Prime Minister Sun Cheng is very thoughtful, and the lower officials admire it very much. ”

Sun Qisheng's face was overjoyed, and he said, "Then thank you Uncle Cousin, only you can come forward to avenge the dead Shiqi." But Uncle Cousin, I heard that this Dongfang Pingtai has a transcendent status in our Dongping Kingdom, and even the monarch has to give some face......

Sun Cheng smiled: "What about the transcendent status, in the face of national law, even the prince has to be guilty of the same crime as the common people, did he run away?"

Yuan Hanzhe said with some worry: "I also think that this matter is not easy to handle, it can be seen that the old man of the East is not an ordinary favoritism towards Ye Yunyang, if he insists on not cooperating, the monarch will not be helpless, and he will not really turn his face with him." ”

"He's a temple priest, and of course the king won't turn against him. A sinister smile appeared on Sun Chengwen's face, and said: "But our entry point is Ye Yunyang, not directly targeting him, you don't have to worry, Benxiang has already thought of a countermeasure to ensure that he suffers a loss." ”

Lunch time, National Academy Cafeteria.

There was no one at the table where Ye Yunyang was, which was in stark contrast to the overcrowded scene next to him.

Wu Junyan and Yin Zishi, the two second-generation officials, came over with a dinner plate, and as soon as they sat down, Yin Zishi said: "Brother Ye is really notorious, no one dares to appear within five meters of you." ”

Ye Yunyang was stunned: "Yes, I also wonder, what happened to them today?"

Wu Junyan's eyes widened: "You really don't know or are you pretending to be stupid? The incident of you killing people in the county town has been spread all over the academy, and everyone is afraid of you, so they will stay away." ”

He suddenly realized: "So that's the case, as for it? Especially those senior students, aren't they known as masters, and they are actually afraid of me, a first-year freshman?"

Yin Zishi said: "No matter how high their level is, they have never killed anyone, of course they will be afraid of you, to be honest, when Junyan and I first saw you, we were a little hairy in our hearts." But Brother Ye, you are happy to enmity and hatred, brother, I admire it very much. ”

Wu Junyan added: "What I admire more is the importance that the Lord of the Wine Sacrifice treats you, in order to protect you from even giving Yuan Hanzhe face, I decided with my son, and I will follow you in the future." ”

Ye Yunyang smiled dumbly, it was obvious that these two guys were thinking about things simply, thinking that Dongfang Pingtai was on his side, and he could ensure that nothing went wrong, these were just calm on the surface, and the matter involved Sun Chengwen, the prime minister of Zuo, who was known for his cunning, how could he give up.

On the way back to the classroom in the afternoon, he inadvertently saw Sun Shiyuan and Chen Guhe standing in the distance, the two seemed to be talking about something important, and after a few words, Chen Guhe walked quickly towards the gate of the college.

The next day, Dongping King's Palace, Qinzheng Palace.

The monarch Chen Mingda sat on a high throne, and below him were two rows of civil and military ministers standing on the left and right.

Chen Mingda changed his previous pleasant appearance, but his face was full of solemn expressions, and the ministers were speculating whether a major incident had happened, because the monarch rarely had such an expression, unless the army had lost a battle outside.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes all converged on the side of Tai Lieutenant Wu Han, and Wu Han also wondered, there has been no war at the border in recent months, so why should the army be defeated.

The eunuch shouted in a sharp voice: "The early dynasty has begun, and the ministers have this morning music. ”

Among the ministers, only Sun Chengwen, the prime minister of the left, looked normal, he took two steps to the left, bent down with an ivory wat board in his hand, and said loudly: "The minister Sun Chengwen has something to do." ”

Chen Mingda nodded, and the eunuch immediately shouted, "Accurate." ”

Sun Chengwen straightened his waist and said loudly: "The minister received a report from the Governor's Mansion yesterday, saying that Ye Yunyang, a first-year freshman of Chinese Studies, killed someone in his hometown of Feng'an County, and then fled back to the National Capital College. ”

Wu Han's face darkened, Duwei is a yamen under the jurisdiction of the Taiwei Mansion, and if something happens, Yuan Hanzhe did not report it to his top boss, but instead reported it to Sun Chengwen, which is not in accordance with the rules, once the monarch asks, if Wu Han can't say why, it will be a small matter of losing face, and maybe he will be belittled.

He turned around and exchanged glances with the general behind him, this general's name was Yin Falcon, the general of the Tiger Guard Army who returned to China to report on his work, and Yin Zishi's father.

In addition to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, the two have been friends for many years, and they have both heard their son talk about Ye Yunyang.

The monarch didn't seem to want to ask Wu Han what he meant, but said hatefully: "The widow has also received a report that the student of the country actually took advantage of the Shangsi Festival to return to his hometown to kill people in broad daylight, which is simply an unforgivable sin! Dongfang Saijiu is an upright person, and the widow has always trusted him, but how can he favor the student?"

The spearhead was directed at Dongfang Pingtai, Wu Han noticed that something was wrong, and the monarch had never accused Dongfang Pingtai in public.

Regarding Ye Yunyang's murder, he knew a little, strictly speaking, he had a certain responsibility with the Taiwei Mansion, and it was his only son Wu Junyan who lent Ye Yunyang's carriage.

Sun Chengwen smiled indifferently and said: "The minister also believes that Dongfang Sacrificial Wine is a person who enforces the law impartially, and the reason why he refuses to hand over the murderer should be deceived, it is said that the murderer is a student he values very much, if the other party lies, it is very likely that he chooses to believe it." ”

Chen Mingda nodded and said: "The widow also thinks so, the Oriental sacrificial wine is highly respected, it is impossible to distinguish between right and wrong, it must be kept in the dark." ”

On the surface, Sun Chengwen is telling the truth for Dongfang Pingtai, but in fact, he wants to elevate Dongfang Pingtai and confirm Ye Yunyang's crime at the same time.

Wu Han quickly figured this out, Sun Chengwen and Chen Mingda sang and harmonized, a few simple words were enough to make Dongfang Pingtai have to give up on this matter.

Chen Mingda immediately ordered: "Pass on the widow's hand, and order Guoxue to hand over the murderer Ye Yunyang to the Governor's Mansion, and the Governor Yuan Hanzhe is responsible for investigating the case, and then report it according to the truth." ”

Sun Chengwen was just about to shout the word "obey the order", Wu Han took a step to the right and said: "Your Royal Highness, the minister thinks it is inappropriate. ”

The monarch raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

He said quickly: "The minister also believes that Dongfang Sacrificial Wine is an upright person and will never favor students, so he will definitely find out about this matter, before he gives a conclusion, His Highness should not send someone else to take over this matter, it is likely to cause the clues he finally found to be broken, and the new person will have to start from scratch, and it will take a lot of time." ”

Chen Mingda frowned, and his heart was reasonable.

Sun Chengwen glanced at Wu Han and said, "Enlighten my king, Taiwei's words are biased. As far as the minister knew, the carriage in which the murderer was killed was from the Taiwei Mansion, and he said that he was biased in favor of the criminals. ”

Wu Han laughed: "There is nothing to quibble about this matter, it is true that the dog borrowed the carriage to Ye Yunyang, because the two of them are friends, Ye Yunyang didn't say that he would take the carriage to kill people." ”

Wu Han's straightforward personality is well-known in the Dongping Imperial Court, and he admits and explains everything in public, proving that he has no ghosts in his heart.

Chen Mingda's thoughts wavered again, and Wu Han continued: "There is another thing that the minister has to pay attention to Your Majesty, the deceased Sun Shiqi and Prime Minister Zuo are in the same lineage, but Prime Minister Sun Cheng deliberately did not say this relationship, is there any intention to conceal it, and is there an ulterior motive in it?"

Sun Chengwen said with a dark face: "This prime minister has no intention of favoritism, Lord Taiwei, please show evidence, otherwise the old man will sue you for slander." ”

"When the Prime Minister accused me just now, did you have any evidence?" Wu Han spread his hands, meaning that you gave me a knife just now, of course I want to return you with a shot, and neither of us owes anyone anything.

Chen Mingda frowned, pondered for a moment and said: "I ordered the National Academy to sacrifice wine Dongfang Pingtai, and ordered it to handle this case within a time limit, and it must be reported to the widow before it can be finally decided." Chinese culture is the important place of the country, the place where I cultivate talents in Dongping, and the future and hope of the country.

Sun Chengwen glared at Wu Han angrily, if he hadn't intervened in the bar, how could the monarch change his mind, and if he couldn't let the Governor's Mansion arrest Ye Yunyang, it was very likely that he would be allowed to escape again.
