"So, it's hard to have a heart-to-heart conversation like today's in the future?" Ye Yongjia looked at his smile, but his face became more solemn.

Shi Xiushen also restrained his smile, lowered his head and sighed, "...... This is also helpless. ”

"Two adults," a sergeant approached with a few stacks of papers, "We have collected a lot of evidence, as well as the correspondence between Layue and Nanguan last year, please take a look at it." ”

Shi Xiushen looked down a few times, but he didn't care, so he returned it to the man and ordered: "Find an empty box, carry all the things you have found to Zhongshu Province, and hand them over to the prime minister to see." With that, the sergeant took the order.

"By the way, I still have to go to see Liu Zhennian," Ye Yongjia suddenly remembered that he still had a task on him, "There are still many things to discuss...... I can't accompany you. ”

Shi Xiushen hurriedly got up and saluted: "Well, it's important to settle this matter as soon as possible." Tinglong walked first, and I arrived with my men. ”

Ye Yongjia was reluctant in his heart, so he only slowly raised his hands and replied with a long bow: "Brother Ming Zhen, cherish!" ”

Shi Xiushen was silent for a while, and reached out and pressed on his shoulder: "Precious." ”

On the second hall of Zhongshu Province, there are two circle chairs at the bottom, one is Yan Wen, and the other is Niu Yuan; On the top side of the wall, there was an empty seat, and a gray-haired old man stood upright, pacing up and down in front of him, his eyes shining with anxiety.

As the prime minister of the current dynasty, his body is no longer as strong as before, and years of officialdom have made him thinner and thinner, and his spirit is also tired, and he has long lost the majesty of his youth, and the fierceness of killing people without blinking, and has become old, and his temperament is not so terrifying.

Just when he was anxious, he saw Ye Yongjia trotting from a distance, and as soon as he entered the house, he bowed out of breath: "Ye Yongjia meets Liu ...... Eun Gong. ”

Liu Zhennian sat down on the chair with peace of mind, and complained in a kind tone: "Tinglong, you don't procrastinate like this on weekdays, and today you really teach us to wait." ”

Yan Wen smiled and said: "The prime minister should also be considerate and considerate of him." I heard that it was because Gonggong Lu went to the military department to find faults, so he went around for a while. ”

"Really?" Liu Zhennian lifted his sagging eyelids.

Ye Yongjia replied: "Yes." ”

"This Lu Xinzhong doesn't understand what we're doing outside, and he still wants to mess around," Liu Zhennian sulked, "But after all, he is the person in charge of Shen, Tinglong can hide, but if he can't, I can't do anything." ”

"Anyway, the people are still here," Niu Yuan took a sip of warm tea, "Ye Shilang, as for how to deal with Jiewenwu, Yan and I are still discussing, you sit down and talk about your opinions." ”

Ye Yongjia sat down next to him, and immediately replied: "What the Duke has committed is allowed according to the rule of law of the king, how can the lower officials interfere with the constitution of the country." ”

"Alas, if the conviction is really so clear, we don't have to bother here," Niu Yuan said with a wry smile, "Besides, these people are all obstacles to the new policy, and they are a matter of national planning, and they must be considered thoughtfully." ”

"That's right," Yan Wen took over, "Jiewenwu, as the most rampant person, if he is a little lenient, it will not be enough to warn the court. It's better to kill him, and the rest will be dealt with lightly. ”

When Ye Yongjia heard the word 'kill', there was a roar in his head. This was very different from what he originally thought, and he immediately felt angry and puzzled: "Yan participated in politics, although Jie Wenwu was in opposition to the new policy with the ministers, but he has been convicted by the emperor's edict, how can the case be overturned in the future?" Crime does not lead to death, and forced death cannot guarantee that the government and the opposition will whisper. It is better to dismiss the official and return to his hometown, leaving him with his life, which is not contrary to the warning intention. ”

Yan Wen smiled and said, "Lord Ye, I didn't expect you to be so ignorant of the world. What is the pity of killing such a character? ”

"Regardless of the king's law, killing people for personal gain, is this the benevolent government you want to carry out in your heart!" Ye Yongjia argued loudly.

These words hit the key point, making Yan Wen stunned when he heard it, and it took a while to regain his calm demeanor: "Benevolence and righteousness are spoken to gentlemen, but it is really difficult to do it for villains." An unfaithful and unrighteous person like Jie Wenwu deserves to be killed. Moreover, the saint also punished the young and righteous for the five evils, and the situation is no different from today, which has nothing to do with benevolence or non-benevolence. ”

"I don't know what a saint is, but now that there is such a national law, how can he act like this!" Ye Yongjia's eyes were filled with fire.

"Report to the Prime Minister!" A member of the forbidden army walked into the hall and said forward, "Master Shi has found out the evidence of Jiewenwu's crime from the military department, and every word is written by himself, and it is all solid evidence!" ”

"Pick it up!" Liu Zhennian gave an order, and the soldier retreated, and then brought a large firewood box with a few people and put it in the middle.

"Open it." Liu Zhennian nodded.

The soldiers opened the box, and the three people next to them hurriedly got up, and saw three bundles of documents neatly stacked in the box, and the bundle in the middle read: 'The military department urgently sent the Nanguan guards'!

Ye Yongjia had never received such a letter, so he picked up the letters inside like crazy, and clearly recorded all kinds of evil deeds committed by Jie Wenwu at that time in order to prevent the displaced people from entering Beijing!

He flipped over and over again, one after another, and his eyes were as big as copper bells, showing bloodshot Taoism.

"How?" Seeing that he had suddenly changed like this, Liu Zhennian couldn't help but walk down and ask, "What did you see?" ”

Ye Yongjia didn't say a word, picked up all the letters scattered on the ground, and handed them to Liu Zhennian and Niu Yan.

"And ...... such things"

After Niu Yuan and the two of them finished reading the letter, they began to feel a little angry, looked back at Ye Yongjia, and said:

"Lord Ye, have you seen it! You, the old boss, colluded with the officials and the second department of the household to slaughter the homeless, you are really a person who is inferior to a beast! With that, he threw the letter on the ground and stomped on it twice.

Ye Yongjia sat on the chair blankly and muttered, "I knew that he was a mediocre official and a dumb official, but I didn't expect to be able to commit such an atrocity, and that fellow Chen...... I, I ......"

Speaking of this, he resolutely gritted his teeth: "I am willing to hand over these documents to Your Majesty and bring this person to justice!" ”

"Wait!" Niu Yuan suddenly interrupted him, "The second half of the sentence works, but the first half of the sentence can't." ”

Ye Yongjia slowly turned his head, and the expression on his face became more and more complicated, as if he knew what he was going to say.

"It also involves the affairs of the second department of household officials, and they are the people we want to protect for the time being." Niu Yuan said, "So, even if he must die, he can't be convicted for this." ”

"Okay, good ......" Ye Yongjia reluctantly agreed, "Although I can't act impartially, I can also give those unjust souls a little comfort......"
