Uncertain Chang'an

Chapter 30

A few days after returning to Beijing, the spies she sent to investigate the news also replied, everything that Xiao Wuding said when he confessed his life experience that day has evidence to support, presumably it is not a lie.It was the end of May when she left Beijing, and now it's autumn.For Zhou Jinhe, Yizhou and his party have gained a lot. Although there is a risk of death, at any rate, apart from Wu Yi's cancer, Xiao Wuding is also included in his pocket.

In the past few days, Wu Yi had been interrogated with the third division, but there was no progress.Seeing that August [-]th was coming, although she didn't say anything, she was really anxious.

After returning home from the Ministry of Punishment that day, someone reported: "Your Highness, Miss Wen Yuan is here. She is in the lobby and said that she is thanking His Highness for giving her a gift."

These days, she was busy trying cases, and she didn't have time to go to Wen's mansion to say hello to Wen Yuan, so she asked Fei'er to pick out some novelties from her private storehouse and give them to her, saying that she would come to visit another day.It's just that she didn't want to, she came first by herself.Zhou Jinhe immediately quickened his pace, went to the hall, and ordered: "Bring the best tea."

In the lobby, Wen Yuan got up and saluted when he saw her, still smiling softly.Zhou Jinhe hurriedly helped her up, held her hand and said with a smile: "Miss Wen Yuan, hurry up and be polite, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so polite. These days are busy, I haven't had time to thank the girl for helping me a few times, but the help I'm very busy."

"In March, Your Highness has lost a lot of weight. It's just a matter of raising your hand. Your Highness said that he sincerely made friends with Wen Yuan, why are you still polite now?" She blinked, her watery eyes rippled like the surface of a lake, and the corners of her mouth hang. With a bit of playfulness, his face instantly became lively and lively.

"Ha, I made a slip of the tongue, how about asking the girl to make amends with lunch?"

"Since His Highness invites you, Wen Yuan is reluctant to do so." She still had that playful and relaxed look, which made Zhou Jinhe laugh, but then he stopped laughing and said seriously: "I came today to inform Your Highness about business. When I checked the shops in Beijing, I found that several shops in Beijing were suddenly transferred to the name of Fu Yan, a cabinet scholar, five years ago, and they did so in a very concealed way. I asked people to find the old guys of several shops. After asking, I found out that the previous master was actually Wu Yi."

"Is there such a thing?!" Zhou Jinhe was startled by her words, took the list she handed over and read it carefully.Finally got some clues, she hurriedly got up and apologized to Wen Yuan: "It seems that this lunch will not be available, next time I will ask the girl to apologize."

"Your Highness speaks seriously, and state affairs are the most important. Your Highness, let's go and get busy. When the busyness is over, Wen Yuan will prepare tea in the Zhaixing Pavilion and wait for His Highness."

"It's a deal." The corners of Zhou Jinhe's mouth raised slightly, the irritability and depression of the past few days were swept away, and after ordering someone to send her back to the house, he hurriedly prepared the horse and went to the Ministry of punishment.

"Your Highness, you are so urgent to call me to wait..." Yan Yi and the others hurried in sweating profusely. They had just returned to the mansion when they were called back again. When they saw each other at the entrance of the criminal department, they looked at each other and hurried to Lobby to go.

"The three are free of courtesy. I only got the news when I returned to the mansion, and it took a lot of effort to find out. Please take a look."

The three adults took the list and were overjoyed.

"Come here, bring Wu Yi to court!"

Wu Yi was bruised and bruised all over, and when he saw the list with exhaustion, he breathed a sigh of relief. After checking here, it was finally over.

"Wu Yi, how do you explain this?"

"Civil minister..." Wu Yi prostrated on the ground, his voice trembling: "Civil minister...five years ago, Fu Yan, a cabinet scholar, stopped officials from participating in the memorial of the criminal minister. A store bribed him for profit, and then stopped a memorial for 1000 taels of silver..."

"Tsk, this deal is really a good deal." Zhou Jinhe laughed back angrily: "Master Wu is rich and powerful, and this palace can't match it. But I'm afraid it's more than that. If there are any cronies, Mr. Wu might as well say it together at this moment. There will always be evidence , the patience of this palace cannot stand the test, yesterday I entered the palace and proposed the punishment of late recovery with my father, Master Wu, would you like to be the first to try it for future generations?"

Wu Yi trembled all over, crawled lower, and begged for mercy: "The guilty minister will do everything, and please ask Your Majesty to give the criminal minister a good time..."

The four of them looked at Wu Yi kneeling on the ground writing the confession, and looked at each other a few times, but they were all suspicious.Was Wu Yi really frightened by Ling Chi's punishment?Why didn't he open his mouth during the interrogation a few days ago, but today he opened his mouth with only a single statement?Why do I always feel a little weird...

It took a long time to write the confession, which shows that there are many people involved.After Zhou Jinhe and Sansi had seen it, he ordered Wu Yi to be imprisoned and entered the palace without stopping.Wu Yi returned to the prison, sat in the corner as usual, but for the first time showed a somewhat relieved smile.After a while, he was relieved.

In the early morning of the second day, Emperor Taiping coldly walked around among the officials twice, threw Wu Yi's confession lightly in front of Fu Yan, and ordered the commander of the imperial army to take the people in the court, and the court was in chaos for a while.Looking at the confession, Fu Yan knelt down in front of Emperor Taiping with a plop, and begged bitterly while kowtow: "Your Majesty! I was wronged! I never..."

"Shut up! You greedy villain! See you again, Your Majesty!" Before he finished speaking, Lu Junde stepped forward and kicked him away from Emperor Taiping, filled with righteous indignation: "Your Majesty trusts you and entrusts you with the cabinet The important position of a scholar, but you are so mercenary, disregarding the common people, and shielding Wu Yi! You are also worthy of being an official?!"

"No..." Fu Yan hurriedly wanted to go forward and explain, but when he heard Lu Junde scold him so much, he raised his eyes to see the unspoken warning in his eyes, and his heart suddenly turned cold, his whole body drooped like exhaustion, Let the soldiers of the Imperial Army hold him, with a low voice like a lifeless person on the verge of death, and murmured: "My lord, I am greedy for profit, I have failed the holy grace, not dying is not enough to appease the anger of the public, death is not enough, just please Your Majesty... .Forgive the minister's family..."

Emperor Taiping looked at him coldly, and laughed coldly and snorted: "You care about your family members, and you still plead for them at this time, but if you really cared about them, why did you do such a thing in the first place! Even if he lives, I'm afraid he won't live long!" Fu Yan is famous for loving his son, and his son is in his twenties and has achieved nothing, he is used to it, and it really makes him say that when he is about to die. I don't know what to say.

"My...convicted, my guilty...thank you, Your Majesty..." Fu Yan prostrated on the ground, his heart full of remorse, regretting that he should spoil his son so much, if it wasn't for him If he did such a thing, how could he be blackmailed by Wu Yi and Lu Junde? Now he can only exchange his own life for his son's. In the next life, he should be a strict father... But he thought of his son When he was young, he was chubby and cute. When he grew up, he would be so obedient and call him daddy. How could he teach him a lesson...

"Come here, take them all to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and wait for their punishment!" Emperor Taiping flicked his sleeves, returned to the dragon chair, sighed deeply towards the people below, and said: "The Great Jin Dynasty has been in power for nine years. I'm sorry for your land, although it is not comparable to Yao and Shun, but it can be regarded as clear rewards and punishments, hard work, food and clothing, when have I never heard your honest words? There are many veterans who followed me to fight the world, and there are also those who swore at the beginning Tell me that I want to return the people to a scholar in a peaceful and prosperous age, and I want you to ask yourself, are you today worthy of the oath you made to you in front of the ancestral tablet?! Don’t forget your original intention, gentlemen, if you have one, change it If there is nothing else, we will encourage you to retreat!"

The disappointment in Emperor Taiping's heart is self-evident, and he left after speaking, leaving behind a lot of ministers who blushed and were ashamed, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Respectfully send your majesty, the ministers respectfully obey His Majesty teaches!"

Soon, all the officials involved in the case were sentenced. Fu Yan beheaded and ransacked his home, and Wu Yi was divided into five horses. The execution was completed before the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was unexpected.

The execution was so powerful that everyone in the capital knew about it.All the people around clapped their hands and applauded, only a few people still had their bags, and their faces were a bit complicated.Xiao Wuding went to the execution ground. After watching the execution, he went to the Wen Mansion. He was busy these days, and he didn't come to the senior sister for several days.

"Didn't Your Highness say that there is something suspicious? Why did His Majesty execute someone so quickly?"

"Based on Wu Yi's performance, if there are doubts, there is nothing useful to be tried. The group of ministers in the court has cleaned up a lot, and if they move again, it will hurt the country. Even if there is a fish that slips through the net, His Majesty is confident. He can't make any waves under his nose."

Xiao Wuding sneered and sneered at the corners of his mouth: "The words His Majesty said in the court that day were pleasant to hear, and many ministers immediately issued a letter of guilt, and His Majesty burned those memorials in front of the courtiers the next morning. , It really will buy people's hearts. It's just that when I persuaded my father and king to raise troops, I don't know where I have forgotten the words of calming the troubled times and sharing the world."

Wen Yuan stretched out his hand and rubbed the back of her neck lightly, his eyes full of distress: "According to previous years' practice, Duan Yuanqi should come to Beijing in a few months..."

"Oh, just in time." Xiao Wuding's eyes were as cold as ice, and the murderous intent in his tone could not be concealed.

Her father, King Changsha, was a king with different surnames for meritorious service when the previous dynasty was established. The ancestors of the Xiao family knew very well the principle of killing birds, hiding rabbits and dead dogs, and survived by keeping a low profile for generations.When Xiao Cheng was young, he studied art with a teacher outside, and Duan Yuanqi was his younger brother.

Xiao Cheng treats Duan Yuanqi like a brother, and recognizes him as his righteous brother.In troubled times, in order to protect themselves, they intensified the training of the army and changed their name to Chengyuan Army.Taiping Emperor Zhou Yi was also a young talent. He became the shepherd of Jingzhou at a young age, and later became friends with Xiao Cheng.

The two of them were invincible all the way, and they took half of the country into their pockets within a year.Although Xiao Cheng was a proud generation, he had no intention of claiming the title of emperor. He just didn't want to see the lives of the people in misery, so Zhou Yi naturally became the emperor and became the founding emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. He just didn't want Duan Yuanqi to sneak attack Xiao in the final battle to pacify the Central Plains. Cheng, although the Empress Taiping knew about it, she didn't pursue it for some reason, but announced to the outside world that Xiao Cheng, the king of Changsha, died for his country and was posthumously named the king of Chu.

Xiao Wuding still can't figure it out, his father treats Duan Yuanqi like a brother, how can Duan Yuanqi do such a thing that is inferior to a beast?Not only did her father die, but she also forced her mother and concubine to marry... and her mother and concubine, who had promised to be with her father and concubine for life and death... turned out to be Are you really married and have kids?

It is said that Duan Changning, the princess of Changsha King, is only seven years old. He is eccentric and smart. He is carved out of the same mold as Princess Changsha. He is a peerless beauty at a young age.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wuding clenched his hands for an instant.

There are many soldiers from Chu in the army, and Xiao Wuding has heard a lot of rumors over the years, how the Changsha king and his wife respect each other like guests, how cute and cute the princess of Changsha king is...Every word is a knife to her, Delay her life and death.

The author has something to say: Emperor Taiping is still domineering, hee hee, after all, he is my princess's father
