Zhu Houzhao received news from Zhong Bin in Nanjing that "Jiangxia is in danger", so the first thing he did when he arrived in Yangzhou City was to see Jiangxia first.
But Li Hanzhong knew very well that if nothing else, Jiang Xia would probably have died long ago at this time. He was speechless for a long time, because he already felt that if he said that Jiang Xia was dead, the next moment he was about to be greeted by the emperor's Long Yan's fury.
Li Hanzhong didn't speak, Zhu Houzhao immediately felt a little furious in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "I want to see Qincha Jiangxia, didn't you hear?"
Li Han flashed several answers in the middle of the enclave, and in the end, he could only turn his heart sideways and said: "Back to the emperor, the day before yesterday, the two Huai were transferred salt to steal the gold bars in the treasurer, and when Weichen sent someone to inspect, he found the gold bars in the room of Lord Qinchajiang.
Also found were tokens and seals engraved with the words "Taru Hora Bald Child", as well as letters from the Mongolian Daru Huachi. Weichen suspected that Master Jiang was actually a spy of the Mongols, and he was afraid that he was trying to do something wrong by infiltrating the Central Plains.
Weichen arrested him according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect him to live with the prisoners in the prison cell. During the fight between the two sides, Lord Jiang was unfortunately killed by the two prisoners by mistake. ”
"What did you say?" Zhu Houzhao's whole body softened, and he almost slipped off the emperor's seat before he could sit firmly. His voice became a little trembling, and there was even a hint of hoarseness before crying: "You said you said Jiang Xia was dead?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen's supervision is not strict and there is such an accident, Weichen deserves death. Li Hanzhong knelt on the ground and said.
Under the canopy, Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting upright, burst into tears in the blink of his eyes. He walked down from the emperor and walked towards the yamen of Yangzhou Mansion without saying a word.
Li Hanzhong originally thought that Zhu Houzhao's expression didn't seem to be very angry, but when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhu Houzhao's hands pinching all the bone joints were white, and the nails of his fingers were about to burst when they were stuck in the flesh.
Li Hanzhong broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
Yang Tinghe glanced at Li Hanzhong deeply, and followed Zhu Houzhao into the yamen of Yangzhou Mansion.
Li Hanzhong also felt like he was keeping up.
As soon as he walked into the yamen hall, before Li Hanzhong could speak, Zhu Houzhao roared angrily: "Ten thousand deaths! You are not only guilty of ten thousand deaths! Your ancestors of the eighteen generations should dig up the graves and collect the corpses, bones and ashes, and all of your nine clans should be buried with you!"
Dig your ancestral grave and kill your nine clans. When this comes out of the mouth of the general public, it is called a curse, but when it comes out of Zhu Houzhao's mouth, it is called a holy decree.
Li Hanzhong's mind "buzzed", he expected that the Son of Heaven would be angry, but he didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to be so angry.
Li Hanzhong knelt on the ground as soon as his legs were weak, and said in a trembling voice: "The emperor is angry, and Weichen is only acting in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty." Specifically, the suspects who sued Lord Weichen Jiang were Lin Xiaoyi, the salt envoy of the two Huai capitals, and Yan Jun, the two Huai salt pills. Weichen Weichen is not very aware of it, and hopes that the emperor will be angry. ”
Where could Li Hanzhong withstand Zhu Houzhao's anger, so he immediately put Lin Xiaoyi and Yan Jun out of the way. Anyway, dragging a little more people out, and one person taking on a little bit of anger may not be so strict.
Li Han was still thinking like this in the center, but Zhu Houzhao shouted: "Summoning them to see the driver, they all transfer the salt envoy and the salt department to lift the department, and all the officials are not bad, all of them are called to me!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Weichen obeys. ”
Li Han secretly complained in the center, it seems that the emperor is really angry this time. I knew that this was the case, so why did I wade into these troubled waters, Li Han Center regretted it.
On the side of Baihuayuan, the officials who had not woken up with a hangover received the news that the emperor was coming, and now everyone woke up, and after putting on their official uniforms, they hurried to Yangzhou Mansion.
Li Hanzhong sent out to spread the word that Lin Xiaoyi, and the yacha they saw had just walked out of the yamen of Yangzhou Mansion, and Lin Xiaoyi, Yan Jun, and Ma Dashi, who had just arrived from home, all rushed over.
The three of them walked into the yamen with the rest of the important officials in the Lianghuai Salt Administration, and Zhu Hou looked at them, his eyes turned a little red.
Who said that Jiang Xia stole the gold bars of the salt envoys of the two Huai capitals, and who said that he was a spy of the Mongols?"
Lin Xiaoyi, Yan Jun, and Ma Dashi knelt on the ground together, Lin Xiaoyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and said: "Your Majesty, the death of the minister Jiang Xia has nothing to do with us, the reason why the gold bars in our current treasury are likely to be in Jiangxia is because Lord Qincha openly rewarded the girl in the Qinglou with the gold bars stolen from the treasury, so Wei Chencai"
"Fart!" Zhu Houzhao interrupted Lin Xiaoyi's words, and he said in a deep voice: "Yunnan salt tax corruption case, Jiangxia didn't embezzle a penny of ink in the face of a million taels of silver, and now you sue me that he will steal the gold bars from your two Huai Du Salt Envoys?"
"Your Majesty, it is not impossible that Jiang Xia was greedy for silver in the Yunnan salt tax corruption case last time, but you did not show it, this Jiangxia is extremely cunning, and it is not impossible to deceive the saint. ”
Lin Xiaoyi talked eloquently about Zhu Houzhao, who didn't seem to be very afraid of anger, and Zhu Houzhao said in a gloomy voice: "Okay, then I will send you to the underworld to ask Jiang Xia to see if he is really greedy for silver." ”
"Someone!" Zhu Houzhao had just ordered.
Lin Xiaoyi suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Your Majesty!"
Zhu Hou looked at Lin Xiaoyi, Lin Xiaoyi hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, originally the monarch wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers couldn't not die." But Weichen still wants to ask the emperor, what is the minister's crime?"
"You murdered Chin Cha, this alone is enough to break your body into ten thousand pieces!"
"Your Majesty, Weichen did get the news that Jiangxia took the gold bars stolen from the treasury as a reward, so he transferred the news to Lord Yin Li. The physical evidence made by Weichen is complete, and Jiang Xia's death was an accident. The emperor wants to take the life of the micro-minister without asking, and the micro-minister will not accept it!"
Lin Xiaoyi's words were indeed bold, and in the end, he even said such words as "the emperor doesn't ask about the indiscriminate", which is really heartbreaking.
Zhu Houzhao smiled coldly and said, "You said that I don't care about it, do you mean that I am a faint king?
"The emperor is wise and discerning, how can he be a faint king, you group of chaotic ministers and thieves, you really deserve to be damned for bullying the king like this!"
A clear voice came into the lobby, and in everyone's surprise, Jiang Xia actually walked into the lobby with Bu Jinyun and the others.
Seeing that Jiang Xia was not dead, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment and then suddenly burst into tears, he walked over a few steps and stretched out his hand to press Jiang Xia's shoulders and said heedlessly: "Big brother, you are not dead?"
Even more unexpected than Zhu Houzhao were Li Hanzhong, Lin Xiaoyi, Yan Jun and others, in their opinion, Feiying and Silver Hook shot Jiang Xia at the same time, and he was still out of prison unharmed, which was really unexpected.
Jiang Xia patted Zhu Houzhao's shoulder and said in a low voice: "There are outsiders here, if you have anything to say, wait until I clean up these guys." ”
Zhu Houzhao's tears kept flowing, although he had shed tears when he knew that Jiang Xia was dead, he had been holding back, and at this moment he knew that he was not dead, but Zhu Houzhao couldn't help it.
He really wanted to pull Jiang Xia to talk for three days and three nights, because just now he thought that Jiang Xia had left him forever, and that kind of crazy loneliness and pathos made Zhu Houzhao understand Jiang Xia's importance to him for the first time.
Jiang Xia walked up to Li Hanzhong and Lin Xiaoyi, and said with a light smile: "Several adults keep saying that they are Mongol spies, do you have any evidence?"
"The token and seal of the 'Dalu Hora Bald Child' and the letter of the Mongolian 'Daru Huachi' are ironclad evidence. Lin Xiaoyi, who had come back to his senses, said that he had already made up his mind in his heart, since Jiang Xia was not dead, then use evidence to nail him to death, so that even Zhu Houzhao would have nothing to say.
When Jiang Xia heard this, he said with a surprised face, "Are there any such things?"
"Naturally, there is, and the evidence is stored in this government after it has been collected by the government of this government. Li Hanzhong said.
Jiang Xia nodded, stretched out his hand and said to Li Hanzhong: "Then please take out the evidence and show it to Zaixia, so that Zaixia's heart can be convinced." ”
"Good. Li Hanzhong nodded, and immediately arranged for the yacha to take out the evidence.
The evidence arrived in the court, which were a token, a copper seal, and three letters. The token and the copper seal were created by Lin Xiaoyi before, and the Mongolian script written on it is "Dalu Hera Bald Child", which is an official position in Mongolia.
As for the inscription of the letter, it is "Daru Huachi", which is the name of the official position of a high-ranking official in Mongolia.
Jiang Xia looked at the token, the copper seal, and the letter, and then asked Li Hanzhong: "My lord, do you know Mongolian?"
Li Hanzhong shook his head and said: "The official doesn't know, but the master in the official mansion knows that he has inspected these items, and Lord Jiang doesn't need to quibble." ”
"I'm afraid this won't work, and I ask Master Li to invite your master to come to the hall to take a look at it again, and read out the contents of these Mongolian words in public, so as to show it to the public. ”
"Good. Li Hanzhong then arranged for the yacha to call him the "master" in his mouth, and after a while, a man wearing a round-necked robe and a beard walked into the court.
After the man saluted Zhu Houzhao, he followed Li Hanzhong's order to check the tokens, copper seals and letters, and in order to verify that he did know Mongolian, Jiang Xia also asked the master to read a Mongolian text in public before inspecting it.
The Mongolian text was written by a man brought by Jiangxia who was said to have read Mongolian.
After reading the Mongolian text, Jiang Xia pointed to the token, the copper seal and the letter, and said with a smile: "Master, please read out loud the contents of the token, the copper seal and the letter." ”
"Yes. The master nodded and stepped forward, first picked up one of the letters and glanced at it twice, this time he was stunned, and raised his eyes to look at Jiang Xia like a ghost.
