Hope for luck

Chapter 216
Shen's house in Xintong Lane.

After hearing Shen Jieli talk about today's events, Shen Jinhua was full of apprehension, looked carefully at Shen Jieli, and was relieved to see that he was fine.

"The people from Jingcheng Hou's Mansion are also a little bolder. They dared to gather people to beat people in front of everyone. They really didn't take Wang Fa to heart...Brother, what did he say?"

Shen Jinhua was naturally on Gao Pan's side, and couldn't help saying that something was wrong with the Jingcheng Hou Mansion, and finally asked Shen Jieli if Gao Pan had said anything.

Seeing this, Shen Jieli understood that the last sentence was what Shen Jinhua wanted to know, so he said calmly:

"Don't worry, sister, my brother-in-law is sure of everything. As far as the sweet-scented osmanthus is concerned, isn't it all over now?"

After hearing this, Shen Jinhua was still a little worried, frowned and thought for a while and said:
"Brother, can you invite him to our house, I... have something to talk to him about!"

Since the two of them shared their feelings for each other, Shen Jinhua missed Gao Pan more and more. It can be said that she thought about it day and night and couldn't sleep at night. She was still a little uneasy when she heard such a thing.

"Okay, I'll invite him right now, but it's up to him whether to come or not!"

Shen Jieli heard Shen Jinhua's meaning, and was willing to help his sister connect, so he got up after speaking.

"It's hard for brother, I... think he will come!"

Shen Jinhua replied shyly. After hearing this, Shen Jieli looked at his sister and was quite satisfied before leaving Shen's house.

……

……

At the end of winter, there was a letter from the censor to impeach the Jingchenghou's mansion for conniving domestic slaves to commit murder in public. They should act according to the law, and the Jingchenghou's mansion is jointly and severally responsible.

Emperor Tianfeng didn't pay much attention to this, until Youdu Yushi mentioned this matter again, Emperor Tianfeng then paid attention to it, and the celebrities went to investigate the matter in detail.

……

Inside Dong Pingzhang's mansion.

Gao Pan is here and has heard the latest developments about the punishment.

The sweet-scented osmanthus incident aroused the anger of Emperor Tianfeng, and the Imperial City Division dispatched overnight to find out the truth, and the result was naturally announced after discussions between Dong Pingzhang and King Lu.

The one who bears the brunt is none other than Ouyang Bin, the head of the House of Internal Affairs Lan Ling, who was dismissed from his official position because he left his post without authorization and failed to protect the purchasers.

This made Gao Pan a little startled when he heard that the heavy knife fell, and the one who suffered the most was Ouyang Bin, which Gao Pan never expected.

Secondly, according to what King Lu said, King Liang was reprimanded by Emperor Tianfeng afterwards, and no one knows the exact reason.

In the end, it was Wang Youzhong, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Wu family who opened the restaurant, which was considered to be in bad luck.

No matter how you say it, Concubine Li is also a concubine in the harem. If she violated her taboo, she would naturally be punished with death. The two main characters, Wang Youzhong and Wu Yingqiu, were beheaded directly by Emperor Tianfeng.

The rest who were implicated, such as the purchasing eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and other members of the Wu family, were either exiled or imprisoned, and their fate was extremely miserable.

This was the end of the matter, but there was a crucial connection, that is, Wu Yingqiu confessed to Wei Yan'an, the eldest son of Jingcheng Hou's family.

The related thing is that this time Du Yushi personally wrote a letter to impeach Jingcheng Houfu.

"...In this way, the emperor seems very dissatisfied, and asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate to find out the cause of death as soon as possible. The result you want has basically been achieved. Next, let's see how this Wei Gongyi will explain to the emperor!"

In a warm room, Gao Pan and Dong Pingzhang were sitting opposite each other, and Dong Pingzhang was gently talking about these things to Gao Pan.

It has been three days since Gao Pan made trouble in Baiheju. Today, Gao Pan got the exact news from Dong Pingzhang.

He was quite restless in his heart. Originally, he just wanted to use Dong Pingzhang's power to punish the Jingcheng Hou Mansion.

Because, Ye Haikun brought him an unexpected news, those who beat him killed him and said that he was not from Jingcheng Hou's mansion, and the reason for beating Gao Pan was to commit murder, that's all.

After hearing Xie Yujun's reminder, Gao Pan already knew what the wife of Jingcheng Hou's mansion was planning.

However, with his temperament, it is naturally impossible to just let it go, so he told Dong Pingzhang about the matter, and the censor who first wrote a letter of impeachment was Dong Pingzhang's husband-in-law Pan Xianwen.

Afterwards, it was Du Yushi who made the move and made the matter suddenly escalate.

"Mr. Dong, can you command the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

Gao Pan suddenly thought of something, looked at Dong Pingzhang in surprise and asked.

Dong Pingzhang frowned and shook his head:
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate has the duty to supervise all officials, and the old man is among them. The censors on both sides only follow the instructions of the emperor. No one in the court has this right."

After Gao Pan listened, he opened his mouth wide, took a deep breath and said:
"So, it is the emperor's order that Du Yushi acted?"

"Other than that, the old man can't think of any other reason!"

Dong Pingzhang took the words with a serious face and said.

After Gao Pan heard this, his heart became even more restless. If Emperor Tianfeng did this on purpose, then why did he point the finger at Jingchenghou's mansion?
"Elder Dong, in your opinion, what is the emperor planning to do?"

Gao Pan couldn't figure it out, so he asked Dong Pingzhang about it.

"It's hard to say, the old man can't understand the honorable matter, but on the surface, it seems that he intends to punish the Jingcheng Hou Mansion, or is he dissatisfied with Wei Gongyi's actions in Dongshan?"

Dong Pingzhang didn't seem to be able to see through either, the old and the young all became silent in an instant.

After a while, Gao Pan broke the silence:
"No matter what, I would like to thank you, Mr. Dong, for me, I don't know how much you have done!"

"Forget it, why are you being so polite? I feel ashamed in my heart. If you help me, I'm helping myself. However, it's still the same sentence, don't go beyond the bottom line, otherwise, I won't be able to help you!"

Dong Pingzhang waved his hand and replied in a very peaceful manner. After speaking, he looked at the door again and continued:

"Things in the capital are complicated and chaotic. I think it's better for you to exercise outside. During the recent troubled times, I feel physically and mentally exhausted!"

After Gao Pan heard this, he was slightly taken aback. This was the first time he heard Dong Pingzhang talk about his distress, so he quickly comforted him:

"Mr. Dong has worked so hard for state affairs. It's really hard work. I don't know if there is anything difficult?"

"It's not a rare thing. Once the twelfth lunar month is over, there will be a summary of the year and the budget for the coming year. The emperor only looks at the results, but the treasury is getting more and more empty. This old man feels that next year the government's budget deficit will probably increase! "

Dong Pingzhang raised his eyebrows and said in distress.

Perhaps, only in front of Gao Pan, a junior, would Dong Pingzhang express his distress.

After Gao Pan heard this, he was not surprised. Everything he saw before indicated that the Dayu Dynasty was going downhill.

Many problems will be exposed in the middle and late stages of any feudal dynasty, and the empty treasury is the most direct manifestation.
