Chapter 32: Cai Yong is imprisoned

"Smack"

The black piece landed firmly on the board and captured the white piece. The black player couldn't see his face, but his tone was very cold: "The game is open, if you are too aggressive, more weaknesses will be exposed, and more things will be lost." ”

In the chess game, white is fierce but full of loopholes, and although black is a defensive situation, it can both resist white's attack and capture white in the cracks. And the game corresponds to the words of the black player.

Liu Wenzhong picked up a white chess piece, smiled, and then fell. As soon as the chess piece is dropped, the white piece is declared victorious.

"Who says the weaknesses exposed won't be traps? Moreover, if you want to have the last laugh, someone will have to sacrifice after all. ”

Seeing the situation on the chessboard, the black chess player laughed: "Then I'll wait and see." ”

Liu Wenzhong also smiled, smiling confidently.

Two days later, Yu Yi went to collect the evidence provided by Xu Yangqiu and the killer, and after finishing it, it was the fourth day of Emperor An's five-day period.

Bai Jiangyi got up very early today and prepared his official robe for Yu Yi. In fact, according to Yu Yi's habits, the upper court prefers to wear narrow sleeves or embroidered robes, and Emperor An will not force him to wear official robes to the court. It's just that today Bai Jiangyi knows that Yu Yi is also fighting with her tongue, and she feels that wearing this official robe can overwhelm others in her aura.

"Jiang Yi," Yu Yi looked at the official robe with some hesitation, "Do you have to wear this?" ”

Bai Jiangyi nodded very seriously, and unfolded the official robe again: "This five-clawed python robe is a gift from His Majesty, and this is the only one in Quan Qingyang," he said and gestured the python robe to Yu Yi, "And I think you must look good in it." ”

Although 10,000 were unwilling, they couldn't resist Bai Jiangyi's persistence, and finally put on this wide-sleeved five-clawed purple python robe under her coercion and temptation.

Although Bai Jiangyi has never seen a real minister, this kind of Yu at this moment is really in line with the appearance of the minister in the script. Yu Yi's left hand was bent and placed in his abdomen, and his whole body was full of aura. If Yu Yi is a general who fights bravely on the battlefield, he is the sharp blade of the country in the eyes of Bai Jiangyi, and the powerful minister of the court.

"It's extravagant."

Bai Jiangyi could see it, and blurted out his words.

By the time Bai Jiangyi reacted and said what was in his heart, Yu Yi's face had already sunk. Seeing this, Bai Jiangyi immediately put on a sweet smile, stepped forward to help him tidy up his sleeves, and said with a smile: "It's so handsome, it's so handsome." As he spoke, he ran behind Yu Yi and pushed him out, "Go, go, I'll wait for you to come back at home." ”

I'm waiting for you at home.

These words made Yu Yi a little trance-like, and when he came back to his senses, he had been pushed out of the door by Bai Jiangyi. After Yu Yi regained his footing, he turned around and glanced at Bai Jiangyi again. Because he got up too early and was still yawning, his long hair was wantonly draped behind his head, but he was still bright and moving without powder.

Bai Jiangyi raised his chin at him, and Yu Yi also smiled and nodded at her. The two of them didn't say a word, but they seemed to tell a lot.

Even if Emperor An allowed Yu Yi to bring a knife to the court before, he never brought it once, but today he also brought Mo Yuan.

The black hair was neatly tied on the top of his head, and his tall body was dressed in a wide-sleeved five-clawed purple python robe, with Mo Yuan hanging from his waist.

This kind of Yu is inevitably a different existence of the Qinzheng Palace. Although the ministers knew that Emperor An had given Yu Yi a five-clawed python robe, they had never seen it, and today they could be regarded as seeing it, so they were also discussing it in a low voice, while Yu Yi was quietly waiting for the court outside the window. Only Cai Yong, standing not far behind Yu Yi, put his hands between his sleeves, lowered his head without saying a word, and glanced at Yu Yi from time to time.

In the Taishi Mansion, Shen Jiayi, who had been in a coma for four days, finally opened his eyes. Because the light was too harsh, he tried several times to finally see what was in front of him.

Although he had already opened his eyes, the pain in his head still made Shen Jiayi very uncomfortable. He turned his head, but what he saw was Zhao Ke'er sleeping on his arm.

In an instant, countless pictures poured into his mind, the pictures were very blurry, as if he had imagined them, and many words could not be heard clearly, but there was one sentence, Shen Jiayi was very sure that he remembered it clearly.

I... I'm in the military in the future... Barracks, you must not be messing around... I'll be in the future... Be obedient in the future... Still can't do it.

"Silly girl." The Shen family sneered secretly, and then raised his hand to wake up Zhao Ke'er, who was sleeping soundly.

Zhao Ke'er slept a little dazed, and at first she was very impatient with a "tsk", but it wasn't until a moment later that she suddenly reacted and raised her head suddenly.

Seeing Shen Jiayi smiling at him, Zhao Keer cried with joy, and her tears fell down.

"You numb my hands, I haven't cried yet, why are you crying."

Shen Jiayi's voice was weak, but he still managed to amuse her.

Zhao Ke'er wiped her tears and asked, "How are you feeling now?" Shen Jiayi shook his head slightly and said softly, "A little dizzy." Want to drink water. ”

Zhao Ke'er's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and hurriedly got up to pour him tea. Looking at Zhao Ke'er, who was busy, Shen Jiayi asked again.

"How's the general?"

Zhao Ke'er, who heard this, paused, and the water overflowed the cup. The cold water temperature brought her back to her senses, and she immediately put down the water glass to wipe the table, and she was a little hurried for a while.

Seeing this, the Shen family also guessed that the matter might be a little serious, he struggled to sit up, and Zhao Ke'er helped him to sit up in time.

Shen Jiayi grabbed Zhao Ke'er's hand and asked anxiously, "What happened?" Tell me. ”

Zhao Ke'er hesitated for a moment and said, "You were injured and unconscious, Brother Zilin was dismissed because of poor supervision, and Bai Jiangyi was suspected of killing me and was grounded." The father gave his son and brother five days to find out the truth about the accident in the Tongcha Mansion. ”

"Today... What day is today? Shen Jiayi's tone trembled a little.

"It's the fourth day."

The Shen family trembled, and immediately lifted the quilt as if getting up. Seeing this, Zhao Ke'er pressed him back to the bed: "What are you doing, you need to rest well now." ”

"I have to go to the court, and there is something strange about the affairs of the unified investigation house that day." Shen Jiayi frowned, his eyes full of anxiety.

But Zhao Ke'er still fell into hesitation, and when the Shen family saw that she didn't react, the hand holding her also clenched tightly: "Take me into the palace." ”

Zhao Ke'er saw the anxious and firm look of the person in front of her, and finally nodded.

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."

Under the bow of the ministers, Emperor An slowly walked up to the stage, sat on the dragon chair, and said in a deep voice: "All Aiqing should be flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this time, Emperor An saw Yu Yi wearing a python robe, chuckled, and said, "Zilin, it's rare to see you wearing a python robe." ”

Yu Yi also walked to the center of the Qinzheng Hall at this time, stretched his sleeves and saluted: "Your Majesty, the matter of the unified investigation of the palace, the minister has made progress. ”

As soon as these words came out, Cai Yong's forehead was also covered with fine sweat, and his eyes were also full of shock, what does the Tongcha Mansion have to do with him? Cai Yong hurriedly lowered his head, afraid that someone would see his current appearance.

"Oh?"

An Di changed his posture, his left elbow propped up on his left leg to support his chin, and his right hand rested casually on his right leg. If others do such an action, it will always give people a lazy feeling, but Andy has a feeling of strategizing like everything is under control.

Yu Yi took out a booklet from his sleeve, and Gonggong Li stepped forward to take it and handed it to Emperor An. When Emperor An looked at the excerpt, Yu Yi continued: "On that day, when the ghost market was gentle and fragrant, when the minister set out to arrest the relevant personnel, he found that someone would always kill him one step ahead of me. But he still let the minister catch the live mouth, this person's name is Xu Si, and under his explanation, the founder of the ghost market is Hubu Shangshu. ”

"Cai Yong, Lord Cai."

The time to come is still coming, even if I have been mentally prepared for a long time, I still can't help but tremble. The hundreds of officials in the court and the central government also began to talk about it, and it was not until Gonggong Li drank "silence" that he quieted down.

Yu Yi glanced back at Cai Yong, who was bowing his head and not saying anything, and continued: "According to Xu Si's confession, I found his correspondence with Lord Cai in his hiding place, Lord Cai not only resold gentle incense to earn violence, but also embezzled the national bank of the household department, which was huge. ”

Emperor An also finished reading the excerpt at this time, and his whole face collapsed, he angrily threw the excerpt in a low voice, and asked in a deep voice: "Cai Yong, what do you have to say?" ”

Cai Yong exhaled, took two steps to the right and stood behind Yu Yi, lifted his official robe with both hands and knelt down, kowtowed, but did not say a word.

An Di sneered a few times, he knew that at the beginning of the new country, there would definitely be ministers who would take the opportunity to make a fortune, but he just didn't expect that this unified investigation mansion had not been officially opened, and the household department was arrested first. The Ministry of Households, who was in charge of the treasury, took the lead in doing such things, which simply disappointed Emperor An.

"Drag it down, fifty canes, put it in the prison, and wait to be beheaded."

"Your Majesty, slow down."

Just now, two forbidden soldiers came in and were about to drag Cai Yong away, but they were stopped by Yu Yi, "The minister just said that it is the matter of the unified inspection mansion that has an eyebrow." ”

An Di also adjusted his state and said, "You continue." ”

Yu also saluted again and said: "The accident in the Tongcha Mansion, the minister went to the scene to see it, and the mortise and tenon structure in the fallen beam was neatly cut, not like it was caused by a fracture, but more like it was sawn off in advance, and there was a depression on the beam that was made by a blunt object. The minister found it according to the dent marks. ”

After speaking, Yu Yi took out the waist card of the ghost market from his sleeve and handed it to Emperor An by Gonggong Li.

"This thing is the peer waist card of the ghost market in Gulin Town, so it can be seen that the person who did the work on the beam that day is also a person from the ghost market, and Lord Cai has already acquiesced that the ghost market is set up by him, so this matter cannot escape from him."

This series of things can make Cai Yong confused, he recognizes the ghost market, and he recognizes the gentle incense, but he can't admit this thing that he hasn't done. The ghost market and gentle incense are enough to put him on the guillotine, if you add this crime of intending to murder the princess and marry the courtiers, I am afraid that there will be no chance to wait for Liu Wenzhong to save himself.

No, I can't admit it.

Cai Yong made a decision immediately, and was about to get up and refute. was interrupted by a loud voice.

"Your Majesty."

An Di was stunned when he heard this, and then the haze on his face was swept away and replaced by a smile.

"Hahaha, my left minister is back."

Liu Wenzhong strode into the Qinzheng Hall and walked in front of Yu Yi to stretch his sleeves and salute: "Your Majesty, the minister has not been to the court for many years, and he has forgotten the time of the early dynasty, and he wanted to go to the imperial study to find you to play chess, but he didn't find you, and he remembered that it was the time of the early dynasty after hearing someone say it, so the minister took the liberty to come and hope that His Majesty would forgive his sins." ”

"It's okay." Emperor An waved his hand, "It's rare for the left prime minister to return to the court, and he just came to listen for a while." ”

Liu Wenzhong bowed.

Yu Yijian returned to the regular before continuing: "Therefore, the minister hopes that the minister will officially take over the case, interrogate Lord Cai, and also investigate the innocence of the government and Miss Bai. ”

The audience began to whisper again, Cai Yong was about to speak, and Liu Wenzhong took the lead.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate." As soon as Liu Wenzhong spoke, the audience immediately returned to quiet, "The Unified Investigation Office has not yet been established, and the important cases of officials are naturally taken over by the Criminal Department. Besides, that Miss Bai is your wife who has not passed through the door, and it is inevitable that you will ask someone to forged the truth for her. ”

After speaking, Liu Wenzhong saluted Emperor An again and said: "Therefore, the minister feels that it is inappropriate, because this matter was first taken into custody by the Criminal Department, and the evidence of the accident in the unified investigation office was collected, and the conviction will be confirmed after the evidence is conclusive." ”

The founding minister is worthy of being the founding minister, and this set of statements is so stunned that Yu Yi can't refute it. And Cai Yong in the back also found that the scene had been controlled by Liu Wenzhong, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could hold on until he entered the prison of the Criminal Department, then his life could be regarded as retaining.

Emperor An saw that no one in the audience spoke, so he also nodded: "Then this matter will be handled according to what Zuo Xiang said, Zilin, Miss Bai's grounding order, and the Li Gong Guild will go with you later." Secondly, there can be no more mistakes in the unified investigation project, and I limit you to complete it before March of the following year, may it be done? ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can hear this, it is Emperor An who has reinstated Yu Yi. Although His Majesty has said it orally, the ministers know what it means before the holy decree is issued. What's more, the current case of the General Investigation Office has nothing to do with him and Bai Jiangyi, and it has made a contribution because of the gentle incense, so it is also natural.

Yu Yi naturally knew what His Majesty meant, and immediately responded. Although the construction period is tight, it is also within the controllable range.

An Di nodded with satisfaction: "Retreat." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After retreating from the court, Yu Yi wanted to go to Emperor An, but seeing that he and Liu Wenzhong left the Qinzheng Hall together, he also retracted this idea and walked out.

Outside the Qinzheng Palace, Yu also saw Shen Jiayi, who was pale but full of pride, and the two stood opposite each other like this. He had seen what had just happened in the temple outside the temple.

"Your Highness." Shen Jiayi's head was still a little painful, and he could only squeeze out a smile on his face.

Yu Yi stepped forward to help Zhao Ke'er support Shen Jiayi and said, "Why don't you rest well when you wake up?" ”

Shen Jiayi scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Aren't I worried about you?" ”

Yu Yi smiled incredulously: "Are you worried about me? ”

The Shen family smiled innocently, and happened to meet Gonggong Li who chased him out, and the Shen family immediately limped around: "Your Highness, you can go back to the house to find the princess, I'll go first." ”

After finishing speaking, he endured his dizziness and walked quickly, Yu Yizheng wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Gonggong Li, so he gave up.
