My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 457 The Taste of Conspiracy

The chief officer of Yushitai, the new Yushi doctor Ma Xiong, took Jiade to the palace in person.

Because of the presence of foreign ministers, Han Yan, Zhao Fujin and Huarui all hid in the back hall.

Ma Xiong was recommended by Li Gang, he was loyal and upright, and he belonged to that kind of rigid person.

He knelt down in front of Wang Lin: "I salute my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Ma Qing, please stand up and sit down." Wang Lin waved his hand.

Ma Xiong hesitated for a moment, but sat down as he said.

He personally came to see Jiade off, mainly because he knew that Jiade had a close relationship with Wang Lin, and he respected the former princess of the Song Dynasty very much, and he didn't want her to lose her dignity, but it was related to the palace, so he didn't want to listen to the emperor's questioning.

Wang Lin looked at Zhao Yupan, the Emperor Jiade who was kneeling in the hall, and frowned even more tightly.

The Zhao Yupan in front of him was almost completely different from what he saw last month.

Wang Lin was taken aback.

Pale and decayed face, lips without blood, faint tears, eyes without the brilliance of the past, faint like a dark Buddha dawn, unable to catch the light, unable to drive away the darkness.

Describing Artemisia, the eyes are scattered, and there is a bit of sadness and despair.

Wang Lin sighed, and hurriedly ordered the female officer to help Jiade up and watch the seat.

Wang Lin said softly: "What happened? Jiade, tell me now, don't worry, no matter who is involved, I will definitely uphold justice for you."

Zhao Yupan looked up at Wang Lin, the tears in his eyes seemed to have dried up, only the dull eyes remained: "Your Majesty, Zeng Wei is dead..."

Zhao Yupan's shoulders trembled, and his voice was hoarse and distressed.

Wang Lin knew that Zhao Yupan and his wife had a good relationship, and Zeng Kui's tragic death must have dealt a great blow to Zhao Yupan.

Wang Lin said in a calm voice, "Why was Zeng Wei beaten to death?"

"Your Majesty, Zeng Wei was blocked at the entrance of the camp by a few drunken soldiers led by Yuhou Huatong, the capital of the Beijing Camp Shenwu Army and the East Day Camp, and beat Zeng Wei to death. Your Majesty..."

Zhao Yupan's voice was hoarse and his lips were trembling: "Na Huatong is the cousin of the then Taiwei Huarong, who was well-known as a bully in the imperial army of the Beijing camp. He used excuses to humiliate Zeng Wei twice...

I know that the Zhao family is a man who has lost his country, and it is not easy to survive so far, while the Hua family is the relatives of the new emperor and concubine. Zeng Kui was beaten to death. I wanted to swallow this breath, but...

Na Huatong actually ordered people to hang Zeng Kui's body in the main hall of the Song Dynasty's ancestral temple... Slaves and other people who have lost their country will humiliate their ancestors even after they die, so that they will not be safe under the nine springs..."

Trembling, Zhao Yupan kowtowed to the ground and cried out: "I am the royal family of Zhao Song, but my son-in-law is innocent. I would rather die than fight for justice for my son-in-law!"

Wang Lin's face was extremely serious when he heard Zhao Yupan's words in front of him weeping blood.

Is this how we have another Hua Rong's cousin?Still became a bully in the Forbidden Army?How dare the former concubine of the Song Dynasty dare to beat him to death and hang his body in the Song Zong Temple?

Wang Lin smelled all kinds of conspiracies.

Han Yan and the three daughters in the back hall also had different expressions when they heard this.

Zhao Fujin's grief and indignation empathize with him.

Han Yan wondered if Zhao Fujin and the second girl, Huarui, would have a rift and cause restlessness in the harem?
The stamens are embarrassed, and the eyebrows of Liu are tightly locked.

There was indeed someone in the Hua family named Hua Tong, who was her cousin and Hua Rong's cousin.

Huarong has made a fortune, so naturally many relatives of the Hua family have come to the capital to join him. A few days ago, Huarui indeed heard what Huarong said, and arranged for a member of his family named Huatong to serve as a small officer in the army...

But, is this person, a small person like an ant, so arrogant that he beat Zeng Wei to death?
You know, there is more than one Jiade behind Zeng Wei, and there is also the Zeng family in the capital.

When Wang Lin asked this point, he knew he couldn't continue.

With Jiade's mental state, he certainly wouldn't last long.If she was allowed to enter Yushitai for future investigation, she might die in it.

Wang Lin hesitated for a while, and then ordered the two female officers to help Jiade into the inner hall, and Han Yan and the three daughters asked about the detailed situation.

He turned his head to look at Ma Xiong: "Ma Qing, this case is unusual, I need to understand the situation, and then I will personally explain to Yu Shitai and let you close the case."

Ma Xiong knew very well that the emperor was unwilling to let Yushitai handle this case, otherwise, once some twists and turns were found out, the censors in Yushitai would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.

Ma Xiong bowed and said: "The minister obeys the order. But, the minister has a report!"

Wang Lin guessed what Ma Xiong was going to say, but he could only smile and nod his head and said, "Please tell me, Ma Qing."

"Your Majesty, if His Majesty Jiade's words are true and concern the dignity of the former Song Dynasty and Dayan Royal Family, please also enforce the law impartially, give justice to the unjustly deceased, and give the world an explanation." Ma Xiong said solemnly.

Wang Lin smiled indifferently: "Of course. I also ask Ma Qing to restrain her subordinate officials. Before all the dust settles, don't fan the flames and frame things indiscriminately. Otherwise, I will never forgive you lightly!"

Wang Lin's gaze was like a knife.

Ma Xiong's heart tightened, and he said: "I obey the order!"

……

Shenwu Army, East Camp.

Although the official position is only for a small Du Yuhou, since Huatong joined the Shenwu Army, he has enjoyed a happy life. Even if he is the commander of the battalion, he will be treated with some courtesy when he sees him. Ordinary soldiers I dare not provoke him even more.

He was originally a country hooligan, and with some martial arts skills, he ran wild in the countryside.

Relying on Hua Rong to enter the Imperial Army as an official in the Beijing camp, it can be said to have reached the sky in one step.

He was restrained at first, but then when a group of flattering soldiers automatically gathered around him, his mentality gradually changed.

Who is Hua Rong?Taiwei of the current dynasty, No. 1 under the new emperor, the hero of Dayan's founding of the country, and the elder brother of the imperial concubine Huarui.

And who is he?Huarong's cousin, who has not released five clothes yet.

He naturally regarded himself as an invaluable relative of the emperor.

Within a month or two, he had gained the name of a little overlord Hua Tong among the imperial guards in the Beijing camp, and almost no one dared to provoke him.

As the ruler of Dongdaying, Zeng Kui naturally had a lot of fear of the Hua family.

Especially as the Zhao Song clan, Zeng Kui also behaved himself with his tail between his legs after the change of dynasty.

But the more he was like this, the more humble his status in the imperial army of the Beijing camp was. Not to mention the generals at the same level, even ordinary soldiers didn't take him seriously.

In fact, Hua Tong and Zeng Wei did not have any serious conflicts.

It was nothing more than Zeng Wei who was returning to the camp. He accidentally bumped into Huatong, who was drunk and causing trouble in the camp. He couldn't help but say a few words. The soldiers were beaten to death!
No one spoke for Zeng Wei.

No one spoke up for Zeng Wei.

Afterwards, the cause of Zeng Kui's death reported to Huarong by Zheng Jian, the lieutenant of the camp, turned out to be a sudden death of drunkenness, and everyone from top to bottom helped Huatong hide it.

Before Huarong could deal with this matter in the future, Zeng Wei's body was hung by someone in the Northern Song Dynasty Ancestral Temple not far from Dongdaying!

Hua Rong immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

At this time, Zhao Yupan, Emperor Jiade's concubine, went to beat the Dengwen drum in person, and the whole court was shocked!

Hua Rong knew that the matter was serious, so he personally led the army to capture Hua Tong and more than a dozen violent soldiers who made trouble at that time, and brought Hua Tong to the palace to plead guilty.

Yan Qing looked at Hua Rong, who was kneeling in front of the palace, and hurried forward to support her: "Why did the Taiwei come here? Please get up quickly!"

How politically savvy Hua Rong is, he knows that this matter is not unusual, someone must have intentionally stirred him and the Hua family into the situation, and it is related to the emperor and imperial concubine Huarui, and the unfair treatment of the former Song royal family, which caused a lot of trouble in the world. The shock can be imagined.

Especially civil servants, will not let it go.

However, when Dayan was first established, Guozuo was still unstable.

As a foreign relative, I was originally a trusted minister of the emperor, but now I have caused such a big trouble for the emperor... Huarong is extremely ashamed.

Hua Rong said in a deep voice: "Brother Yanqing, please tell Your Majesty, I know that my crime is inevitable, and today I will arrest this thief and hand it over to Your Majesty.

From now on, the minister will be closed to the mansion, and the case will be dealt with by the judge, and the minister will have no complaints. "

Yan Qing sighed: "What does this matter have to do with the Taiwei? It's nothing more than..."

Yan Qing cast her indifferent eyes on the shivering Hua Tong who was tied up behind Hua Rong.

Hua Rong said sadly and indignantly: "Brother Yan Qing, I feel sorry for my brother, I shouldn't be soft-hearted. For the sake of the clan, I arranged for this evil person to become an official in the army, but I didn't notice it for a while, and committed a heinous crime!"

Yan Qing nodded slowly: "It's fine for the captain to avoid it for the time being. His Majesty has handed over this case to my younger brother for investigation. Please rest assured, my younger brother will definitely find out the truth!"

Hua Rong suddenly got up, bowed to Yan Qing, then got on the horse and went straight to Zeng's house in Huaxiufang without even looking at Hua Tong.

The Zeng family is full of family members.

Hua Rong got off his horse, took a deep breath, and knelt down in front of Zeng's house.

Although the Zeng family hated Hua Tong to death, Hua Rong was after all the Taiwei of the dynasty, the head of military officials, the brother of the imperial concubine, and the favorite minister of the new emperor. If such a high-ranking official knelt at the door of the Zeng family, the Zeng family would not respond to anything. No, that's not right either.

The Zeng family was also the residence of high officials.

Zeng Kui was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Zhenghe, and a son-in-law of the Great Song Dynasty.

The head of the Zeng family, that is, Zeng Lan's father, Zeng Lan, was once the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Zeng Lan walked out of the mansion with the support of two family members, looking sad and indignant.

He walked down the steps and said in a trembling voice: "Didn't Hua Taiwei's actions deceive our Zeng family too much and intend to drive our Zeng family to a dead end?"

Hua Rong cupped his hands and said: "Master Zeng, Hua Tong, a member of a certain family, has committed a serious crime, and a certain has personally captured him alive and sent him to the palace to be dealt with by His Majesty. His Majesty has handed over this case to Jin Yiwei for a thorough investigation!

A certain came here today, not for anything else, but to apologize to the Zeng family in person!If it is later found out that General Zeng died tragically because of the Hua family and was humiliated because of the Hua family, the murderer will definitely pay for his life. Hua is willing to resign all official positions and go back to her hometown as an apology! "

Huarong's voice was clear.

He came to Zeng's house to apologize not as a gesture, but to relieve the pressure on the emperor from scholars and the ruling and opposition parties.

He could almost foresee how many courtiers would launch impeachment attacks on the Hua family at the court meeting tomorrow.

Of course Huatong is going to die, and Huarong also has to bear some responsibilities.

For Huarong, none of this is important, the important thing is that he is worried that his sister Huarui will have a rift with Zhao Fujin because of this matter.

After all, Zhao Fujin is the face of the Zhao Song royal family.
