Chapter 278: The Purpose of the East Factory

Wei Zhongxian saw that the apocalypse was in a good mood, and stepped forward again: "Your Majesty, the old slave still has something to report." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Apocalypse said with a pleasant face: "Say it." ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Now that Jinyiwei is under the command of Liu Qiao, people are floating in things, people's hearts are becoming more and more scattered, and their subordinates are unable to do things solidly, they are lazy and lax, and they have no royal pro-army prestige. The old slave suggested that it would be better to restore the old system in the future. ”

"Restore the old system?" said Apocalypse, raising an eyebrow.

Wei Zhongxian's tone when he heard the apocalypse seemed to be indispensable, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said: "What the old slave means is to bring Jinyiwei under the supervision of Dongchang again, and let the old slave discipline them for the emperor." ”

Tianqi's eyes swept Wei Zhongxian lightly, and said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, we will discuss it later." What I am going to do for you, you can do it well first. Zhongxian, I'm so lacking, you should step back first!"

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, his heart sank, and he thought: "Everything is really not going well today, how much does the emperor mean in his heart." Okay, don't worry, let's stabilize first. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, received the order of thanks, and withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.

......

In the next few days, Dongchang rode out in all directions, searching for the "remnants of the Phantom Palace" in the capital.

In the hands of Dongchang, he holds Zheng De's "major clue", taking Zheng De's relationship network as the starting point, pulling out melons along the vines, and anyone who is usually close to Zheng De will be caught first.

People in the capital, anyone who still has a little common sense, know that the edict of Dongchang is more terrifying than the edict of Jinyiwei. As long as you go in, you don't leave a layer of skin, it's something you want to come up with.

Wei Changgong inherited his fine tradition of preferring to do it wrong rather than not doing it, and strictly ordered the minions of Dongchang, and all those who were caught were beaten first and then tried, and then beaten after the trial, until a result that Dongchang wanted.

However, Zheng De is also a person who is very good at drilling, and the breadth of his network can be described as breathtaking, and there are a large number of people who are caught in the first batch.

As soon as Dongchang tortured this group of people, most of them confessed their three aunts, six mothers-in-law, seven cousins and nine uncles in order to survive.

Coupled with the relationship between fellow villagers and protégés in the same year, the more people grab, the bigger the stalls......

After the "hard work" of the East Factory day and night, a final trial was finally obtained.

In this closing statement, there is a long list of 12 officials (main culprits) who have been identified as the remnants of the Phantom Demon Palace, of which 18 are judged to be unaware of the fact that they have assisted the illusory palace in their perverse acts with their assets, and the rest of the people involved in the case are 45.

The principal offender was sentenced to beheading, the accomplice was sentenced to beheading, and the other convicts were imprisoned in the form of political prisoners.

These arrested people have one thing in common: they are all officials who are not attached to the eunuch party!

Among them, there are many officials of the six squires.

It's messed up, it's messed up, it's all messed up!!

Dongchang's action made the officials of all ministries in the capital tremble, and everyone was in danger.

Even the greetings at the meeting became "Have you been arrested in the house today?"

The cabinet chief assistant Ye Xiang Gao was furious, and joined the cabinet Han Yi and He Zongyan to participate in the Dongchang Yi, and Sun Chengzong, a scholar of the East Pavilion University in the cabinet, did not participate in the impeachment because he supervised the war outside the Guan, and the other two members of the cabinet were all ministers who were attached to Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party and refused to join the cabinet.

The matter reached the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the Apocalypse probably also felt that Wei Changgong had gone too far, so he called Wei Zhongxian over and reprimanded him. The so-called manhunt did not continue to expand.

It stands to reason that the matter is almost here, but Ye Xianggao was not satisfied with the emperor's misdeeds of favoring Dongchang in this way, and argued on the basis of reason in the Golden Palace, asking the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple to interrogate all the officials arrested by Dongchang.

Ye Xianggao's purpose is very clear, that is, he wants to overturn the case, and he wants to tell Wei Zhongxian that Daming is not rotten enough to let you cover the sky with one hand.

With the posture of the top three scholars in the cabinet jointly asking for a retrial, the battle and momentum can be described as extremely strong, and even Wei Zhongxian was a little cowering and wanted to back down.

Unexpectedly, the apocalypse did not buy it.

He directly rejected Ye Xianggao's proposal, but ordered Wei Zhongxian to continue to lead Dongchang to retry the case internally, and added: "Be cautious and don't do it in vain." ”

Ye Xianggao sighed, and when the palace asked for resignation as the first assistant scholar, the apocalypse was not allowed, and he kept it gently.

A battle in front of the palace ended with both sides taking a step back.

Wei Zhongxian originally wanted to use the Phantom Demon Palace case to deal a heavy blow to the Donglin Party's power in the court, but after a battle, he realized that his foundation was not thick enough.

So he retreated, let go of half of the officials, and changed the original verdict to: six members of the Illusory Demon Palace (main culprit), nine officials (accomplices) who assisted the Illusory Palace in plotting against the law, and the rest of the relevant people involved in the case counted twenty-five.

The principal offender was convicted and executed, the accomplice was sentenced to beheading, and all the other prisoners were remanded in Dongchang Imperial Prison in the form of political prisoners.

Eventually, the emperor decreed the matter. This paper verdict became the final verdict, and Ye Xianggao was powerless to return to the sky.

Three days later, in the west city of the capital, Dongchang escorted all the people sentenced to beheading in the Phantom Palace case here, and showed them to the public.

On that day, there were so many people who watched the beheading, and the execution ground was surrounded by three layers inside and out, and it was densely packed.

There were a total of nine people killed, namely the three prisoners of the Illusory Demon Palace and the six officials who were sentenced to be executed. However, after the execution, there were as many as forty-seven heads that were hanged, and most of them were the heads of the disciples of the Illusory Demon Palace Temple who were killed in the Zheng family's ancestral mansion.

In the center, the tallest flagpole has two heads hanging from it. One is Yuan Suiyun's, and the other is called the first evil of the Magic Palace by Dongchang - Xuan Tianqing.

Looking at these bloody, or gray, black and rotten human heads, the noise of the onlookers gradually sank, and everyone felt a trembling feeling from the bottom of their hearts.

In the crowded crowd, there was a young man who looked like a scholar, and when he saw the human head hanging on the flagpole, his face instantly showed an extremely sad look, especially when his eyes saw Yuan Suiyun's head, he was even more sad.

After a while, he lined up and hurriedly left the execution ground.

When he reached an alley where no one was there, he stopped and began to bend down and cough up blood, which was followed by vomiting.

After the blood and yellow bile water were all vomited, he straightened his waist, and his eyes returned to calm and cold!

At this time, it was as if a deposed king had been re-crowned.

He is Xuan Tianqing after experiencing the transfiguration technique.

In the battle of Zheng's ancestral house, he left his son and all his subordinates and fled, seemingly afraid of death, but in fact he was helpless.

Before, in order to save Yuan Suiyun, he had fought to the death with Lu Qianxun, and suffered a very serious internal injury, and when Yan Long led the crowd to attack, he was only sixty percent injured, and in the face of the siege of three grandmaster-level masters (Ke Dongyue is infinitely close to a grandmaster-level martial artist), it has already seemed a little difficult.

However, these are not the reasons for him to escape.

The reason why he made a quick decision and chose to flee was Yan Long.

Yan Long killed Yuan Suiyun's knife, he saw it.

can kill Yuan Suiyun who is wearing a ghost armor in one move, how many people can there be in the world?!

The son is dead, and he is seriously injured, and if he doesn't run away, who will avenge this revenge in the future?!

Xuan Tianqing looked up at the sky and muttered: "I hope that the sky will bless me, swear to win the world, and swear to kill Yan Long." He straightened his clothes, wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, and walked out of the alley to blend in with the bustling flow of people on the street.
