Jiang Pei's case actually has nothing to triignore, the human and material evidence are all there, the account book is in the hands of the Criminal Department, the stolen goods are locked in the suburbs as they are, and the money can be corresponded to in and out, which is irrefutable at all.

He was speechless when asked in the hall, jumped to his feet repeatedly, and repeatedly moved out of the Jiang Mansion to threaten, but the person he was above was Meng Shangshu, who was in a high position like his father, so it didn't help at all.

However, after reviewing the case, he was not convicted on the spot, and was only sent to prison to wait for his fate.

"Master Meng, shall we investigate this case?" An official asked.

Jiang Pei's case seems to end here, but in fact, there are still many things to consider if you look into it carefully.

First of all, the account book, once the ink greed happens, it will inevitably pull out the radish and bring out the mud, Jiang Pei is a bribe, and the person who bribes doesn't care?

Don't talk about the side, just say that there are a lot of names written on the ledger, do you want to arrest these people?

Even think deeper, Jiang Pei alone is so greedy? What about Jiang Fu, to be exact, what about Jiang Song? Do you want to check his account?

These questions are dangerous and delicate, and if you are not careful, you can affect the entire court, so you have to be careful.

Meng Shangshu has no bottom in his heart, in fact, whether to check or not, the key depends on the emperor's meaning.

If the emperor doesn't want to investigate, no matter how much effort they spend, it will be in vain, Jiang Pei's private house was raided by Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei is the emperor's territory, but that is Jiang Song, the holy family Youlong, and the emperor has not wanted to move the Jiang family at all recently.

He pondered for a moment with a calm face, and thought about how to write the excerpts on the table, and did it in one go, without the slightest hesitation.

It didn't take long for the news of Jiang Pei's huge greed to go through the six departments of the imperial court, and the letter was submitted to the Zhongshu Gate after repeated reviews, causing a shock.

It is not uncommon for the Criminal Department to investigate and deal with the excerpts of greedy ink, and the surprising Jiang Pei and the amount of money in it, people who have some calculations in their hearts can taste a little subtle.

The behemoth of the Jiang family affects the whole body, but the fact that Jiang Pei was investigated and punished is enough for people to savor it carefully.

Unlike the officials in the court, the discussion of the people in the market was not as far-reaching as they thought.

"Well, have you heard? The third son of Jiang Pei and Jiang who killed the Beijing officials and robbed the officials' relatives before was arrested and put in prison. ”

"What? Why was you caught in it? Isn't he the emperor's brother-in-law? Who else dares to arrest him? ”

"Hey, what else can I do? Greedy, don't you know that when the officers and soldiers raided his house that day, the boxes of silver they transported couldn't fit in several rooms. ”

"I see...... You talk about corrupt officials, I remember, about two months ago I was eating in the drunken fairy building, and I met a corrupt official who accepted bribes and was caught by the adults of the Inspectorate, and when he was arrested by the officers and soldiers, the man also said that his sister was the lady concubine in the palace, but isn't it? ”

"What? Is there such a thing? Speaking of which, it seems that this Jiang Gongzi was indeed suspended two months ago, but didn't he say that Her Royal Highness the princess took his place for the sake of his concubine? ”

"Well, do you really believe this? I felt strange early in the morning, Her Royal Highness the princess lives in the palace, and the emperor and the queen mother are watching, how can I really talk to any foreign man secretly? ”

"According to what you say, that Xiang Gongzi is really wronged, and he was splashed with a bucket of dirty water in vain."

"This Jiang Pei is really not a thing, didn't someone sue him for encroaching on good land a while ago......"

In a small flour stall in the north lane of the capital, Xiang Siyuan listened to the endless discussions, buried his head in eating the Yangchun noodles in the bowl, and put down two copper plates on the table.

The Yamen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses is not far behind him, today is his first day on duty, a continuous spring rain has just fallen, and the sun is warm above the sky.

The spring breeze of the willows was not cold, the day was getting warmer, and his heart seemed to be blowing by a breeze, very pleasant, put away the oil-paper umbrella, and walked slowly towards the yamen.

In the palace at the same time, Wei Yu was on his way to the Qianyuan Palace.

It is easy to snooze in the spring, she often sleeps until three poles in the morning before getting up, and repeatedly misses the stomach discomfort in the morning, Emperor Cheng knows that she does not know when she is infected with this vice, and lets her go to breakfast every day.

After breakfast, she rushed to the palace to run the horses, and always said that after all, she couldn't be idle, so it was better to find something to do.

Probably because she saw that the palace and the palace were too noisy.

But she did have something not quite right, not only was she sleepy, but she was not in good spirits, she was groggy all day long, and she couldn't do anything, and she was wondering if she hadn't been active for too long.

The Queen Mother said that she had been bored in the palace for a long time, so Emperor Cheng had time to take her to the palace to play for a few days.

The days of the spring suburbs are coming, Emperor Cheng likes to hunt, and every year he will take close officials to go out to the suburbs, barbecue on horses during the day, and soak in the soup pool in the north palace at night.

Wei Yu used to look forward to the suburbs every season, but now she still likes to hunt, but she doesn't want to go to the place of the North Palace.

"Niangniang, please go back, the emperor will not see you."

As soon as he entered the door of the Qianyuan Palace, Wei Yu saw a familiar figure waiting in front of the dormitory.

It's her again, why has she been seeing Concubine Shu in front of the Qianyuan Palace recently? It's really unlucky.

Concubine Shu touched Li Dehai's soft nail, but she was not discouraged or angry at all. Her face was full of nervousness and eagerness, and she grabbed Li Dehai and said: "I'm tired of my father-in-law, let's spread it again, this palace really has something important to see Your Majesty." ”

Li Dehai persuaded: "The emperor already knows what Niangniang asked, and the emperor said that he can't see Niangniang, doesn't this mean that Niangniang still doesn't understand?" ”

Concubine Shu was anxious, "Bengong knows, but now that Bengong's younger brother is still in prison, how can Bengong feel at ease?" Gonggong Li, I'd better trouble you to spread it again. ”

Concubine Shu is used to being arrogant and domineering, when has she ever done such a low-voiced thing?

But she can't take care of any dignity and decency at this time, Jiang Pei is the younger brother of her mother's compatriots, she has never suffered a little since she was a child, and now she is in prison and her life and death are undecided, and she doesn't know how much torture she has suffered.

She didn't think about tea and dinner for the past two days, couldn't sleep at night, and went to the Qianyuan Hall every day to squat, but unfortunately Emperor Cheng did not agree to see her once.

Li Dehai sighed, "Why doesn't Niangniang understand?" Jiang Sangongzi is on the cusp, and the emperor has to take care of the anger of the courtiers even if he wants to help. Niangniang made a fuss at this time, which annoyed the emperor, wouldn't she put Jiang Sangongzi in danger? ”

"Grandpa Li......"

"Your Highness, are you here......" Li Dehai saw Wei Yu walking from a distance, his face changed, and he smiled like a flower, "The emperor is waiting for you, I made your favorite blood swallow rose milk soup in the morning, and it is just right to eat it now." ”

Wei Yu said with a smile: "Father can get up?" Is there any food in the main palace? ”

"Oh, I'm waiting for Your Highness......"

The two talked affectionately, leaving Concubine Shu aside, as if they had completely forgotten that there was such a person next to them.

Concubine Shu gritted her teeth with hatred, looked at them coldly and laughed, and her eyes fell on Wei Yu, with a ruthlessness that was difficult to hide.

Wei Yu finished greeting Li Dehai for a while, turned his head and saw that Concubine Shu was refusing to leave in place, hooked his lips and smiled: "Is Concubine Shu still there?" ”

Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and sneered, "The princess is still here, how can this palace go?" ”

When we met in front of the Qianyuan Hall last time, she was proud, and she couldn't fight Wei Yu, let alone this time.

Wei Yu smiled, "Don't waste your efforts, Jiang Sangongzi is now a celebrity in the court, and his father can't do favoritism." It's better to lay down early, otherwise I can't say if it will affect the mother. ”

Concubine Shu took a deep breath, her eyes became more and more gloomy, but her tone was surprisingly calm: "It's you." ”

"Niangniang, don't talk nonsense, the third prince himself misbehaved, in order to harm the government and the opposition, he was found out and deserved, what does it have to do with this palace?" Wei Yu covered his mouth and smiled, but his words were a little serious.

is not afraid of shadows, although Jiang Pei's conviction was her hand, but in the final analysis, it was his own misconduct that allowed her to have this opportunity.

Concubine Shu didn't listen at all, they were the Jiang family who had made meritorious contributions to Da Yin, holding the Danshu iron scroll, and they didn't know how many ancestors died, and now their descendants should enjoy some things, even if they really collect some money?

As for how many people have been ruined under these people's fat and people's ointment, she can't care about it and doesn't want to care about it, why should the lives of a group of ants be concerned? Isn't it ridiculous to put her own brother in prison for this group of people?

She exhaled deeply, closed her eyes, looked at Wei Yu, and said in a gloomy tone: "This account has been recorded by this palace." ”

Wei Yu was not afraid of her threat at all, and said without giving an inch: "This palace is waiting!" ”

Li Dehai saw that they had finished the fight, and greeted them with a smile, "Your Highness said this, are you thirsty?" I'll drink more bowls of soy milk to quench my thirst later......"

Whether it was Concubine Shu's plea or the Jiang family's deterrence, they couldn't stop the impeachment snowflakes from flying on Emperor Cheng's desk.

Great Yin has always hated the matter of greedy ink, the previous Dynasty Emperor Wu period of the punishment for greedy ink is extremely heavy, the amount of bribes more than fifty taels can be sentenced to death, although the dynasty has liberalized a lot, but the legacy of Emperor Wu is still there, the tolerance for corrupt officials is very low.

Over the years, the Jiang family has been prominent in the court, relying on the holy family Youlong to do a lot of ridiculous things, the courtiers are not blind, they all see it in their eyes, but they dare not speak out because of the power of the Jiang family.

This time, Jiang Pei found out that he was so greedy, and a while ago, he had provoked the anger of many Qingliu civil officials because of Lin Yuan's matter, and it was even more out of control.

The court is a battlefield without swords, and the sword and sword shadow kill without blood. This matter is not only Jiang Pei himself caught in it, but even Jiang Fu and even Jiang Song are deeply affected, and the reasons for impeachment are varied, and there are a lot of ready-made ones available without weaving.

Jiang Pei himself is just what he is pointing at, and Jiang Song will inevitably be accused of being a housekeeper who is not strict and conniving at his son's murder.

However, in the face of the monstrous anger of the courtiers, Emperor Cheng's attitude was always ambiguous, and Meng Shangshu's excerpt requesting Jiang Pei's execution has not been issued to this day.

At such times, the more unclear his attitude is, the more angry the courtiers will become, and the folds of impeachment will become more frenzied.

The execution is no longer considered a heavy sentence, and Emperor Cheng is still so covered, how can it not make Qingliu cold?

These situations are all in Wei Yu's plan.

On that day, she specially instructed Meng Che to compile all the incriminating evidence that Jiang Pei could find over the years into a book, and send it to Yushitai to first provoke the anger of Yushitai, and then investigate and deal with Jiang Pei's huge corruption in public.

Her father was determined to protect the Jiang family, and in Jiang Pei's case, the Jiang family was actually secondary, and it was her father who really had to deal with it.

It is useless to only report Jiang Pei's matter to the ordinary Yiya, whether it is Jinyiwei or the Criminal Department, as long as Emperor Cheng speaks, this matter will be like Zhou's sue to Dali Temple, and it will end up without a problem.

Only by launching public anger, setting up Emperor Cheng, and making him retreat, can there be a glimmer of hope to tear open the opening of the Jiang family.

However, the ultimate goal of Wei Yu's plan is not limited to this.

She smiled and talked with Li Dehai and walked into the gate of the Qianyuan Palace.

The show has just begun.
