Chapter 117: Seeking Nightmare and Seeking Ministers (5)
"Bring it in!"
As soon as the Hunan people shouted the order, they saw Lan Yuan being pushed and swaying, he raised his bloodstained face slightly, and the two of them only looked at each other at this moment, imperceptible.
"Do you know why Lord Ye called you?"
"I don't know." Lan Yuan's answer was extremely brief, and he never said a word.
"I'm here to get you to know someone."
Lan Yuan didn't know what it meant, but he heard the faint sound of footsteps behind him, and looked back quickly, and saw that Chang Zhenren was also escorted by the messenger, and was suddenly startled, and suddenly remembered what the Hunan people had told him, so he looked at him with angry eyes, and looked at him directly, finishing his emotions, pretending to be a deep hatred.
"Let me ask you first," Ye Yongjia pointed to Chang Zhenren, "Do you recognize him?" ”
Chang You took his afterglow and looked at Lan Yuan, and when he saw that the latter was angry, he was afraid in his heart, and stammered and replied: "The old and the old are good people, and they have never befriended strangers. ”
"What about you?" Ye Yongjia asked Lan Yuan again.
Lan Yuan didn't answer, only held his hands, lowered his head, and fell into silence; Just when everyone felt strange, he suddenly burst into a thunderclap-like roar and reached out to grab Chang You, who hurriedly shrunk his neck and survived.
Lan Yuan was pushed to the ground by the servants, but he still refused to give up, and his eyes narrowed and shouted, "It's this guy who made me fall here!" If you don't cut him with a thousand knives, you can't solve the hatred in your heart! ”
Chang You was already in prison in a daze, and today he encountered this incident again, suspecting that he thought he was in a dream, so he pinched his leg hard, only to know that it was reality, so he said to Ye Yongjia: "Xiaomin has never seen him, how can he have a grudge?" Someone must have set up a trap to frame him, and he is looking forward to seeing it! ”
Ye Yongjia was very excited when he heard this new testimony that he had never heard before, how could he still take Chang You's defense into account, and asked directly: "What grievances do you have with him?" Speaking together, Ye may be able to be extrajudicial and forgive you from dying! ”
Lan Yuan coughed a few times, calmed down a little, and said, "The villain was too excited, and the adults watched the joke." In fact, it is not a big deal, just because of the gap between money. ”
Ye Yongjia touched his chin and thought secretly: "Lan Yuan's behavior is so abnormal, there must be a hidden secret. I'm afraid that it involves the Chen Party, so I don't dare to speak in front of the Hunan people. It's better to use a little agitation. ’
After thinking about it, he dusted off his sleeves and said, "Our interrogation today is nothing more than this sentence." If it's not relevant to the case, that's it. Chang Zhenren, it seems that the official is wrong to blame you, in two days, you can go out. ”
Chang Zhenren was about to thank him, but Lan Yuan said again: "Before the investigation is clear, you must not let him out of prison!" ”
Ye Yongjia smacked his lips dissatisfiedly and said, "He can go to prison completely because of you; You testified on his behalf and cleared his suspicions, what else is this officer investigating? ”
Lan Yuan hurriedly said: "There are some things he hasn't explained. ”
Ye Yongjia got up angrily: "You just rely on one mouth to talk about things and things, and there is no basis, how can you believe it?" If you want to spread rumors again, be careful of the punishment! After that, he walked straight out of the hall and whispered to the secretary: "After escorting him back, if he has any requests, you must hear them clearly, and you must not turn a deaf ear." The scrivener nodded yes.
Lan Yuan had already figured out Ye Yongjia's thoughts, and he had calculated it in his chest, so he went back to the prison without saying a word, and fell asleep; waited until near night, opened his eyes, patted the railing in front of him, and shouted to see Lord Ye; When the clerk heard this, he hurriedly ordered the jailer to open the iron door, asked about the situation, was shocked, and hurriedly took him to the class room.
"I heard, you have physical evidence to submit?"
Cui Yi lit two candles and pushed them on the table, shining on Lan Yuan's face.
"I'll only present it to Lord Ye." Lan Yuan looked away and said coldly.
"Haha, Lan Shi is still cautious," Cui Yi sneered, "But you don't have to worry, I am in-law with him, and we have the closest relationship." ”
After hearing this, Lan Yuan hesitantly took out the tiger card from his arms: "It's this thing." ”
Cui Yi's expression instantly became alert, he was stunned for a moment, and pretended to be calm: "It's quite new." How long have you been hiding? ”
"It's only a few days."
"How many days?" Cui Yi frowned, "It seems that the Hunan people gave it to you?" He is the only one here who has summoned you. ”
Lan Yuan immediately replied, "That's right, but it has something to do with Chang You. This has to talk about the origin of the Taoist priest: he originally lived in Yangzhou, and because he got acquainted with Chen Tongpao in his early years, he entered Beijing through this relationship. Later, Liu Zhennian fell, and the prince wanted to kill you all, so he listened to the advice of Chen Tongpao and prepared to forge the tiger card to frame the military department. The prince was afraid that someone would find out, so he found this Changyou and asked him to secretly build a tiger brand in the Taoist temple in order to hide people's eyes. ”
"Then why did you get into a fight with him?"
Lan Yuan looked unhappy: "It is precisely because of this 'great achievement' that he gradually became arrogant, repeatedly entering and leaving the East Palace, with no one in his eyes, and begging for bribes from many officials, once he couldn't get it, he scolded them." Most of these people are old ministers of the East Palace, unwilling to obey their fate, and they have begged me to kill his prestige. I couldn't bear this breath and persuaded the prince not to trust him too much, but I was hated by Changyou. So he framed me for hiding the tiger card, which made the prince gradually alienate me, so that he ...... The secret is out. ”
Cui Yi listened silently in order not to disturb his memories, and when he finished speaking, he immediately asked: "Then why did this tiger card be sent to you?" ”
Lan Yuan sighed: "When Chen Dang saw that you had arrested Chang Zhenren, everyone panicked, for fear that the tiger card would be searched and would not be able to deal with it for a while, so he took the opportunity to stuff it on my body and ordered me to hide at the foot of the wall." But I've figured it out, and I'm not going to do anything for that kind of mediocrity. ”
"Good ambition!" Cui Yi clenched his fists excitedly, and couldn't help blurting out, "I wonder if you can write a confession?" If I can bring down the thief Chen because of this, I will not only keep you safe, but also play the official for you! ”
Lan Yuan thanked him and immediately wrote a confession and handed it over to Cui Yi. Faced with this major opportunity to change the situation, Cui Yi was a little impatient, he didn't care about the darkness of the sky and the cold of the north wind, he only put on a thin dress, and hurriedly set off and went out of the palace to find Ye Yongjia in Ye Mansion.
Cui Yi carried a flickering lamp, and was brought into the middle hall by Cui's family, and when he saw Ye Yongjia, he simply threw away the lantern, knelt on the ground and said: "Brother-in-law, there is a way to save the current crisis!" ”
Although this matter was arranged by Ye Yongjia, when he really heard the news, he also felt excited, sighed a long breath, and tears appeared in his eyes: "Okay...... Good...... But now is far from the time to be happy, and careful consideration is needed. ”
"Yes," Cui Yi replied, "so I want to ask you, is it time to write a book to expose the sins of the Chen Party?" ”
