Everyone's eyes were on His Majesty the Emperor. I saw that the emperor was silent for a moment, and then he raised his head and responded: "Guo, Ye Erqing, why are you in a hurry." I have given the Ye Bing Department full authority to try this case, since there are suspicious things, why can't I ask about it? I will not stop any official, you must interrogate carefully and find out the truth! ”

After hearing this, Ye Yongjia hurriedly kowtowed, said 'yes' to everyone, and then stood up, his face continued to face Cun Zhao: "The emperor has spoken, you should answer me, right?" ”

"I'll just say one thing to you: I've never seen Lan Squire at all!" Cun Zhao looked straight and said categorically.

"You alone are here to talk about it, how can you be trustworthy?" Minghui Guang saw that Ye Yongjia seemed to be contemplating, and without saying a word, he retorted for him, "Lan Shiyu is from the East Palace, he won't walk around without anything." In the end, I should ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this matter to see if it is the same as your confession! ”

The prince was very indifferent, looked at the bright light in front of him calmly, and said with a smile: "It's true that Lan Shiyu did go to Dali Temple, or I asked him to discuss business with the adults." It is expected that he will not meet the prisoners privately, so what can he do such a thing? ”

Minghuiguang said insistently: "Your Highness, I don't have the intention to doubt Lord Lan, but everything must be prevented." When the Lan servant is summoned to answer, he only needs to listen to his words, and the loyalty of the public and the truth of this case can be understood without argument. ”

"Why, don't you suspect Lan Yuan, you suspect me, right?" Guo Xiangren snorted contemptuously, "If you say so, Lan Yuan and I have also become complicit." Do you need to put me in prison first? ”

"There is a saying that the body is not afraid of shadows." Minghui stabbed him secretly.

"This is even more incomprehensible," Guo Xiangren continued, "In that case, I see that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have all befriended these two prisoners, so don't they have to interrogate the courtiers one by one?" Liu Dang doesn't have this style either. ”

Minghuiguang gradually felt that it was difficult to stand alone, and he wondered why Ye Yongjia hadn't spoken yet, and he didn't dare to look back at him.

"Don't be too naïve to participate in politics in the Ming Dynasty," Ye Yongjia suddenly opened his mouth again, but his attitude was completely different, "This proposal is too absurd, don't blame Siqing for speaking ill of you." If you want to mention someone, you need to have evidence, not to mention the attendant of the East Palace? ”

'As I expected......,' Guo Xiang smirked, his anger calming down.

Ye Yongjia then told the emperor: "Your Majesty, now that the crown prince and Siqing testify, Weichen's heart is not guilty. However, the minister thought that this case was a serious case that shook the world, and it was not yet known what the whole picture of the matter was and how many people were involved. I beg your Majesty's permission to postpone it for a few more days. ”

After hearing this, the prince also stepped forward and admonished: "The old thief of Taisu should be the Fa Correct, and no one questions it; But the prisoner is almost innocent, do you still want to continue to be escorted back to the edict prison and tortured because of the delay? That's probably no different from a conviction. Emperor Wang's father sent down Long En and ordered him to return to the forbidden army as a guilty person. ”

"You have to ask Lord Ye about this." The Emperor said.

Ye Yongjia didn't think about it, and made a deep thought: "The minister has no objection, everything is according to what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said." ”

Seeing that Ye Yongjia finally relented, the people of Hunan were overjoyed, and immediately asked the emperor to send down the imperial edict to temporarily exempt Cunzhao from the death penalty, and only put Taisu to death for the crime of bullying the king. After the eunuch finished reading, Cun Zhao was overjoyed and grateful; And Tai Su's face was colorless, his whole body was stiff, his feet were heavy as if they were filled with lead, and he couldn't walk, so he had to let a few forbidden soldiers pull him out.

At dawn the next day, Taisu was carried out into the street, tied up and executed, and chopped an old man to death. Cun Zhao was looking left and right in the forbidden, and when he finally heard this letter, he was very happy, and his mind that had been worried and uneasy fell to the ground. He only sighed once, and had no other feelings, but many soldiers in the battalion wept and talked to each other:

"Uncle Huang has been fighting with us for many years, and he treats us like nephews, who knows how it will be the result!"

"yes, we've been grateful to him. In good conscience, although his old man has been seriously guilty, if there were no such changes, he really wouldn't have ended up with Ling Chi! ”

When Cun Zhao heard the word 'change' from their conversation, he couldn't help but be ashamed and blushed. Then he turned angry with shame, and drank the soldiers and said, "You should be loyal to the country, but it is really shameful that you should speak for the old thief!" The official saw the disloyalty of that guy back then, and hated him to the core, but because of the opportune time, he couldn't get rid of this big trouble. To this day, you are still in the dark! ”

"But the ...... of the willow was defeated back then"

Cun Zhaoyi waved his hand and said: "The plans of the year were all made by me, what does it have to do with him?" It's just that he borrowed some soldiers under him, and it made him look amazing! When the soldiers heard this, they didn't think so, and they all felt that the temperament of the forbidden person had changed, and they were dumbfounded.

"I didn't dare to ask you yesterday, why didn't you take advantage of the victory to chase after ......"

Minghui Guang followed Ye Yongjia all the way, and kept talking tirelessly, but the latter didn't pay attention to him, but strode into the yamen of the military department, and shouted with his head high: "Master Wan, it's okay, you can go and invite King Yi!" ”

Wan Yuzhi put aside the official business at hand, answered anxiously by the window, and ran into the back room to get his luggage.

"Lord Ye, how is this ......?"

Minghuiguang's words were still not finished, so Ye Yongjia walked to the study again and called Cai Xianqing: "Old Cai, where is Dong Sheng?" Tell him to come and sit down here, this official is going to raise a new deal! ”

Minghuiguang was really startled when he blurted out the words 'New Deal', his eyes widened, and he looked at him in disbelief, and his mouth stopped moving.

"Ming Shilang, didn't you have something to ask just now?" Ye Yongjia brought a chair and motioned for Minghuiguang to sit down, "Ask." ”

"This, this ......" Minghuiguang looked down and thought for a while, not knowing what to ask, "Alas, I'm completely confused now." ”

Cai Xianqing clapped his knees and laughed: "You want to ask about yesterday, right?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Minghuiguang's eyes lit up, "Thanks for the reminder!" ”

Ye Yongjia said: "The reason why I didn't refute the Hunan people yesterday and insisted on summoning Lan Yuan here was to let the prince relax his guard. If I firmly demand that Lan Yuan be interrogated, the prince will suspect that I have found a backer when he sees that I am so confident. If we pay close attention to the whereabouts of Master Wan, then our plan will be leaked in advance. And now that God doesn't know, the ghost doesn't know, King Yi will enter the Beijing Division, and he will be caught off guard! ”

"To be honest, we have been pressed for so long, and we should raise our eyebrows and completely move the new deal up!"
