"Sima You, why are you so sure that I have the evidence you want."

"I wasn't sure before I met you, but after I met you, I was basically sure. If you believe that your father and brother are dead, then you will be completely disillusioned, and you will not live alone at all, let alone be at ease. In fact, you are almost sure that your father and brother are still alive, because you know the details of Shen Yong. Since your father and brother are not dead, you will find a way to overturn the case for them. If you want to overturn the case, you need evidence, the father and son of the Song family are by your side, with your ingenuity, you will not get nothing. ”

"You are too old and scheming, how can Sima Xunian beat you......"

"I don't have a fundamental conflict of interest with him, so I don't need to fight. Moreover, it was you who asked to leave him, and I didn't force you. ”

"If Sima Xunian leaves Yang Hui's camp, you won't arrange for me to go."

"Yes, if he leaves Yang Hui, he and I won't even have the last bit of disagreement, we are all one, just be open and honest."

"Be honest? Sima You, you won't be open and honest with anyone. ”

"Miss Shen, you don't know me." He paused for a moment, trying to say goodbye, but finally gave up the explanation, and after a while he said, "Then let's go." ”

Shen Jiyue stayed for a while before taking a step, and before leaving, she turned around and looked at Yuehuaju again, where Sima Xunian was still asleep...... I didn't mean to deceive, but they each bore a family feud, and there were too many historical bonds between the two, so I was afraid that they would eventually become a grudge, and it should be the best choice to withdraw now.

In the future, the two have nothing to do with each other, and only this child has become their only involvement......

With the help of Sima You, Shen Jiyue sneaked out of Sima Xunian's mansion, got into the carriage, and went all the way to the east......

Sima Xunian's bride is missing!

The next day, the entire Shangshu Mansion learned about Shen Jiyue's disappearance.

"Fortunately, the invitation to marry has not been sent, if this is sent out, how can the face of the adults be saved......" The people were all talking, Sima Xunian had a gloomy face, locked himself in the study, closed the door to thank the guests, and for nearly three days, without saying a word, eating or drinking.

Yi Ming saw that he was inappropriate, and gave him sick leave in the political affairs hall, and Mingxin had been standing outside the study, very anxious.

"You've been serving Miss Shen, don't you know what's wrong with her?" Yiming finally couldn't help it and asked Mingxin.

"I've already told adults, Miss is really business as usual...... Mingxin was worried that Sima Xunian would not be able to bear it, she was already crying, she really didn't know when Shen Jiyue had contact with whom, she and Shen Jiyue were only separated for a short time when they went out of the house to grab medicine, she couldn't imagine that Shen Jiyue would have such thoughts......

The two of them were anxious, and suddenly, Sima Xunian opened the door and strode out, and before he could say hello to the stunned two, he said, "Yiming, go to the prison of the Criminal Department immediately." ”

Yiming didn't know what was going on, so he agreed and hurriedly followed.

The prison of the Criminal Department

When everyone saw that Shangshu of the Criminal Department came over in person, they knelt on the ground with a hula.

"Call the master in!" As soon as Sima Xunian entered the door, he shouted.

Layer by layer, the prison director hurriedly arrived, knelt down and listened to the orders.

"Chief, from three days ago to now, can someone take away the prisoner with my token?"

"Uh...... Yes, yes," the principal was frightened, and hurriedly reported, "Three days ago, at the time of the appointment, someone held your token and took it away, and ...... took it away."

"Who's gone!"

The principal was so frightened for a moment that he almost forgot, "Oh! Yes, it's Peng Cheng, the former Lujiang County Taishou! ”

And so it was...... Sima Xunian frowned slightly, a little reproachful for his hindsight, "How are you dressed up?" How to dress? ”

"This person has never been seen before, dressed in plain clothes, no, nothing special......"

"You dare to mention someone to an ordinary person when he comes?!" Sima Xunian was furious.

"My lord, wronged, recently because of the Yangzhou fraud case, a lot of prisoners have been imprisoned in prison, often arraigned, the matter of the prison and Dali Temple have a lot of dealings, because of the cumbersome procedures for removal, Dali Temple has a lot of complaints, your lord, you ordered, this case is specially handled, show the adult token, from the speed of the release, so, so the official ......"

"Dali Temple ......", Sima Xunian's eyebrows tightened, "Sima You!" ”

The next moment, Sima Xunian hurriedly got up and was about to rush to Dali Temple, but he saw a Malay person outside the prison and "report...... In the middle of the book, the servant ordered that the saint summoned officials above the third grade in Beijing to discuss the meeting in the Dacheng Hall at noon, and all the personnel should meet on time, and there must be no mistakes! After speaking, he presented the official document stamped with the seal of the Chinese scholar.

Sima Xunian hurriedly took it, the content of the book was consistent with the report, and there was no other information, he felt that this matter must be related to Peng Cheng, the Taishou of Lujiang County, who was taken away, not just a blessing or a curse, so he summoned Yiming and said, "Yiming, you go back to the house immediately, dismiss all the personnel in the house, you and Mingxin leave the house and wait for my news." The old rule, if something happens to me, I will go straight to Liangzhou with a clear heart and go out of the Western Regions! ”

"No, young master, the old rules, if there is anything, we will wait for you at the West City Gate, see you or leave!"

Sima Xunian looked at Yi Ming, knowing that it was useless to say anything more, so he patted him on the shoulder, turned over and got on the horse, "Go back!" ”

At noon, Dacheng Hall

The emperor summoned all the officials in Beijing from the third rank and above to the court to deliberate, which is the highest level of the Dacheng country's deliberation procedures, and it is easy not to convene, if it is held, it will be a major event that will shock the world.

The principal officials of the six ministries of the three provinces were at the forefront, followed by a group of other officials.

Yongyou Emperor Sima Tao sat down, and the ministers knelt three times and bowed nine times.

Sima Tao is sixty years old, and although he has silver hair, he is awe-inspiring and inviolable.

I saw Sima You come out of the queue and saluted, "Minister, Sima You, the secretary of Dali Temple, has something to report." ”

"Speak."

"Thank you. Minister, if you want to report the case of Shen Yong's formation of a party for personal gain and corruption six years ago, someone deliberately fabricated it and framed Zhongliang! Sima Yu made a loud noise.

Everyone in the hall was stunned for a while, and looked at each other.

"The minister asks the Holy Emperor to allow one person to go to the temple, and this person can report in detail what happened six years ago."

"Accurate!"

"Xie Shengshang, please declare the guilty minister, the former Lujiang County Taishou Peng Cheng, come to see you."

After a short time, the inner courtiers put the message in place, and the guards escorted Peng Cheng to the palace.

Peng Cheng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic, "Sinner, Lujiang County Taishou, Peng Cheng, knock on the saint." ”

Hearing Peng Cheng's voice, someone in the court broke out in a cold sweat.

"Peng Cheng, tell me what you know in detail, and if it is verified, I will spare you from dying."

"Thank you! Six years ago, Shen Yong and Shen Daren pushed the 'Tibetan slave law', and the ministers were instructed by others to imitate Shen Daren's handwriting, fake seals, and fabricate the so-called 'exemption order' promised by Shen Yong himself, so as to confuse the public and profit from it. ”

"Who did you pass on this so-called 'exemption order' written by Shen Yong himself?" Sima You asked.

"Someone gave me a list, there are major maritime merchants in Yangzhou and subordinate officials in the yamen of various county governments."

"Someone instigated? This person, is it one, or two, or several, to tell the truth! Sima Tao was furious in court.

"Back to the Holy Place, before and after, there are three people. First of all, the left servant of Shangshu shot Yang Hui, followed by Fang Boxian, the secretary of the ministry, and Hu Zhengliang, the assassin of Yangzhou. ”

When Peng Cheng reported the report, there was silence in the court, and as soon as the words fell, Yang Hui and Fang Boxian immediately came out and knelt down, shouting injustices together.

"Silence! Peng Cheng, you go on. Sima Tao didn't care about Yang Hui and the others, and said awe-inspiringly.

Peng Cheng was already frightened, "Hui, back to the saint, Lord Shen Yong is too punctual for Lujiang County, and the minister is a subordinate official in the yamen of the county government, and he has worked with Lord Shen for nearly ten years, and he is very familiar with Lord Shen's handwriting, style, and private seals, and can imitate one or two. Later, Lord Yang didn't know where to learn about the minister, so he sent someone to order the minister to pretend to be Lord Shen's 'exemption order', and promised to promote the minister to the county after the matter was completed. At the beginning, Lord Yang only instructed me to hand over this order to several merchants in Yangzhou, but somehow the news leaked, and Lord Shangshufang and Lord Assassin Shihu also learned about it, and handed me a list of subordinate officials, threatening me to hand over the fake 'exemption order' to the list and others, and the ministers did not dare to disobey it, so they had to accept the order to do so. ”

"Holy Lord, this person is talking nonsense, and the minister is the strong promoter of the 'Tibetan slave law', how can he destroy the Great Wall?" Yang Hui's face had changed, but he still pretended to be calm.

"Holy Lord, the minister also captured the head of the fugitive Yangzhou maritime merchants, Xue Yang, who is known as the first maritime merchant in Yangzhou, and is now waiting outside the palace to listen to the announcement." Sima You showed another witness. Hearing this name, Yang Hui's face immediately turned pale.

"Xuan Xue Yang."

After a short time, Xue Yang was escorted into the hall and fell to his knees.

"Xue Yang, tell me about the events of the year!" Sima You asked.

"Sinner Xue Yang, knock to the Holy One. Five years ago, Lord Yang sent someone to send me an 'exemption order' and promised me that if I obeyed his dispatch in the future, I would be my own person, and the so-called 'slave law' would not be done to me. But I was timid by nature and didn't dare to obey orders, so I informed Lord Fang Boxian, the secretary of the ministry, about this. ”

"You", Yang Hui was already as pale as earth when he saw Xue Yang come in, and now he was even more shocked when he heard this.

"Enough!" Sima Tao said angrily.

When everyone heard the anger of the Son of Heaven, they bowed their heads and silenced.

"This matter is very extensive and needs to be carefully investigated. Sima Yang, the king of Ruijun, was promoted to the second rank of the Chinese book order, and took the lead in investigating the case thoroughly, with the assistance of Sima Xunian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Sima You, the secretary of Dali Temple. Today's court discussion, so far, before the results of the thorough investigation come out, Yang Hui and Fang Boxian are grounded and waiting for the order! Retreat! ”

When Sima Tao got up, he trembled slightly, and the chamberlain next to him hurriedly supported him. This scene was seen by the sharp-eyed Sima Xunian.

After retiring from the court, Sima You waited for Sima Xunian at the palace gate.

"Lord Sima, the token is returned, and it is a lot of offense." Although Sima You's tone was still relaxed, his face was still grim, and he must have been forced to calm down just now in the main hall.

"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, if Lord Sima doesn't mind, please come to the house and get together." Sima Xunian retrieved the token and did not squint.

"You're safe in the house?"

"There is no one in my house, and if you want to have ears on the wall, I'm afraid you won't be able to get all the people."

Sima You looked at him suspiciously, and Sima Xunian had already strode away.

The Ministry of Criminal Affairs Shangshufu

"Why didn't you tell me in advance and use this as a means to get my token?! What about Shen Jiyue?! ”

"Lord Sima, don't be impatient. At this time, it is about Yang Hui, and I must not tell you in advance. I have persuaded you three times twice beforehand to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but you are indifferent, I can only make this decision, oh, no, it should be said, Shen Jiyue wants me to help her leave the house, and I will ask her to take your token by the way, that's all. ”

So she wasn't sick at all, and she ...... Not pregnant, all of this, she did it on purpose, to get my token? Sima Xunian clenched the teacup tightly, his eyes sharp.

"It's true to pretend to be sick, in order to deceive you into getting close, in order to get a token, but she really doesn't know that she is pregnant, otherwise how could she take medicine that makes the body hot and cold?"

In other words, she knew that she was pregnant, but she still had to leave, what did she do to be sorry for her!

"Brother Xunian, it's not me talking about you, you really don't understand your daughter's heart." Sima You took a sip of tea and continued, "In the past five years, Shen Jiyue has not only been lonely, but also has to be on guard against the jackals around him at all times, he is already physically and mentally exhausted, and he is extremely insecure. She was willing to let go of her guard and enter the house with you, she has mustered up great courage, and you are good, every time you mention the matter of your father, you will not give in, how can you let her be good? ”

Sima Xunian's expression was grim and asked, "Why are you so sure that she has the evidence you want?" ”

"Heh, you actually asked the same question. Master Sima, if you have a little focus on rehabilitating her father, you can observe that she is in good hands. It's a pity that you only pay attention to whether she knows Shen Yong's whereabouts, and you don't care about Shen Yong's grievances, which breaks her heart. Moreover, if you stand in line with Yang Hui, it is impossible for her to leak Peng Cheng's matter to you. ”
