Chapter 41: Desire to add sin
Soon, the sedan chair arrived at Cining Palace.
This was originally a palace for the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother and the first emperor died on the battlefield, so this place has been empty, and now it has become the dormitory of He Chengyun.
As soon as he got off the sedan chair, seeing the situation here, Shen Yunfan sighed in his heart.
Hongmen Feast!
In Cining Palace, He Chengyun sat on the main seat, and Xu Yan and Cao Zhi sat on the guest seat.
There was also a person standing in front of them, it was Shen Yunfan's personally selected criminal department lawsuit, Wan Yao!
Around, there are dozens of family members who carry He, and the water around this place is blocked.
Seeing Shen Yunfan and Wei Qing coming, He Chengyun hurriedly got up to greet him, first welcomed Wei Qing to the upper seat, and then raised his hand to say hello to Shen Yunfan, who looked like a very kind old man.
Shen Yunfan saluted before taking his seat and sat opposite Cao Zhi.
At this time, Wan Yao glanced at Shen Yunfan, looking very nervous.
Shen Yunfan vaguely felt that something was wrong, and he heard He Chengyun ask at this time, "The criminal department is in charge, how is the progress of your investigation of Liu Cheng's rebellion?"
"Qi Guogong, it's going well, only the last evidence is needed to convict Liu Cheng!"
"Good! Be rewarded!" He Chengyun waved his hand, and a middle-aged man beside him saw this, took out an ingot of gold from his cuff and threw it down.
"Thank you." Wan Yao said, but did not go to pick up the gold.
He was thoughtful and guessed that tonight's events would not be easy. So, there is some money that you can't ask for!
Sure enough, at this time, He Chengyun looked at Shen Yunfan with a smile and asked, "Shen Shizi, is it Liu Cheng's righteous son?"
Without waiting for Shen Yunfan to answer, Xu Yan next to him shouted, "Lord Dingguo, he is Liu Cheng's righteous son, and he inherited the position of the prince some time ago!"
Anyone can see that He Chengyun brought Wan Yao here, and it was clear that he wanted to liquidate Liu Cheng.
Therefore, after Xu Yan finished answering, he stared at Shen Yunfan with a smug face, thinking to himself, Didn't you still use the name of prime minister to be arrogant before? This name has become a life-booster after all!
He Chengyun nodded, still smiling, and asked Wan Yao, "There must be an alliance for such a thing as rebellion, and the accomplices can be found in the lawsuit?"
"Nope."
"Looks like I didn't ask clearly enough." He Chengyun narrowed his eyes, and his face sank suddenly, "Then let me ask you carefully, does this Shen Shizi have any evidence of complicity with Liu Cheng?"
Rumble!
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present were very exciting. This is clearly aimed at Shen Yunfan!
Shen Yunfan's face was gloomy, he didn't expect that this He Chengyun had just come back, and he would dare to investigate this matter with such fanfare, and he would also aim the finger at him.
Fortunately, Wan Yao only hesitated for a moment, then shook his head decisively and said, "No."
Shen Yunfan is his Bole, and he has the grace of knowing him, and it is impossible for him to betray Shen Yunfan. What's more, he really didn't find any evidence of Shen Yunfan's rebellion, after all, Shen Yunfan had just been released from prison not long ago.
How can a prisoner in prison rebel?
Therefore, He Chengyun asked twice again and again, but Wan Yao's answer was still no!
He Chengyun sneered, "Duguan, let me remind you that I have evidence of Shen Yunfan's rebellion with Liu Cheng here. I don't know if you answered no, because of ineffective work, or because you deliberately covered it up."
"But, no matter what it is, you must be punished heavily!" He Chengyun waved his hand again, and the two family members next to him stepped forward quickly.
These two people were sturdy, and after stepping forward and kicking Wan Yao down, the sticks in their hands beckoned them. They have great strength, but with just a few sticks, Wan Yao's body has already opened its flesh!
Listening to the screams, Wei Qing's little face turned pale and said, "Grandpa, stop fighting!"
He Chengyun whispered, "Qing'er, remember, grandpa is here for your good. If you want to take power, you can't be an indecisive person!"
After that, he said aloud: "Wan Yao, you can change your mistakes now, tell the truth, and your true appearance can forgive you."
"What I'm telling is the truth!" Wan Yao is a hard bone, and now he is beaten hard,
He also tried desperately to straighten his back.
"You're hard-mouthed." He shook his head.
The stick fell like raindrops, and in the blink of an eye, Wan Yao's face was already pale, but he gritted his teeth and didn't scream.
Shen Yunfan clenched his fists and stood up, but at this time, Wan Yao shouted, "Shen Shizi, why is there no excuse for the crime you want to add? I didn't find it, I didn't find it, you don't have to admit anything!"
Wan Yao didn't want to, Shen Yunfan was guilty for him!
"What a loyal dog, but I've heard that a few days ago, Shen Shizi was in the court and shouted with Liu Cheng that he wanted to sit on the dragon chair! Isn't this a rebellion?"
"Yes, I've heard about it, too!" Xu Yan hurriedly agreed.
Cao Zhi lowered his head and did not get involved.
But in fact, most of the people in the court know about it. It's just that the emperor didn't mention it, so others didn't dare to mention it.
Now, He Chengyun has seized this handle.
After He Chengyun finished speaking, seeing that no one refuted, he waved his hand and said, "Shen Shizi is so rebellious, then drag it out and cut it!"
A few family members stepped forward with a cruel smile.
On the top of the building, all the Red Dust Pavilion killers tightened their strings. Liu Meiniang said coldly: "One person kills eight, it must be fast, accurate, and ruthless."
"Yes, hall master." Everyone's eyes narrowed. As long as those family members get a few steps closer, they will rush down and kill all the high-ranking people of the Southern Wei Dynasty below!
Shen Yunfan took a deep breath, he was now aware of the monstrous murderous aura of the surrounding families, this sense of oppression was no worse than Liu Meiniang and them.
It can be seen that these are all masters in the rivers and lakes.
Even if Liu Meiniang and them come down, it is estimated that they can only fight and lose.
But now, the arrow has to be fired.
He Chengyun drank tea, as if everything was under his control.
In fact, he didn't take Shen Yunfan seriously, the reason why he wanted to kill him tonight was just to take revenge on Liu Cheng.
A few years ago, Liu Cheng single-handedly covered the sky in the Southern Wei Dynasty and leveled many opponents in political struggles.
As a relative, Dingguo Gonghe was the worst one of them, and he was forced to leave his hometown and run incognito to the city-states outside Xilin Prefecture.
After so many years, he finally survived and accumulated some strength.
Hearing that Liu Cheng had fallen, he rushed back with his own people non-stop. Now that he is in a high position, he naturally wants to take revenge on Liu Cheng first.
If you carry Shen Yunfan's head to see Liu Cheng, presumably Liu Cheng's expression will be very exciting, right?
