Song Mingyue

Chapter 208
Yanfu Palace, Ninghe Palace.

In the main hall, Zhao Ji was dressed in a short lapel, lying on a couch made of reeds, with his eyes slightly closed, his head resting on Li Shishi's pair of jade legs, and his legs were placed in Xiao Cuixiang's arms, with a leisurely expression.

Li Shishi was in charge of massaging the head, and Xiao Cuixiang was in charge of massaging the legs. Both of them had been taught by Zhao Hao. The technique of meridian and acupoint massage was already proficient, and the massage made Zhao Ji's whole body smooth, which was very beneficial.

There are ice cubes around the room, and there are palace maids fanning the cool breeze. Even in such a hot weather, the close contact with the two beauties does not feel the slightest bit of heat. The fragrance penetrated straight into his nostrils, making him feel more relaxed and happy.

Liang Shicheng stood with his hands down, quietly waiting on the side, with a very respectful expression, suddenly a little eunuch came in softly and said something softly to him.

Liang Shicheng turned to Zhao Ji with a serious expression, hesitantly, he opened his mouth after all, and said in a low voice, "I am asking the sage, Minister of Rites, Jin Chongyue, to see me."

Zhao Ji frowned, waved his hand and said, "No see."

Liang Shicheng said again: "He was entrusted by the Marquis of Shou'an, and he has an urgent matter to perform on his behalf."

Before he finished speaking, the four weak and boneless little hands on Zhao Ji's body suddenly stopped.

Zhao Ji opened his eyes, got up slowly and said: "Since my nephew asked Jin Chongyue to come to see him, it must be an urgent matter, so let him come in."

"Here!"

After a while, Jin Chongyue trotted in all the way, saw Zhao Ji, hurriedly stabilized his figure, and bowed forward: "Your Majesty, Wannian."

Zhao Ji waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, since it's a matter of urgency, let's hurry up."

Jin Chongyue hurriedly took out a memorial from his sleeve, and handed it over respectfully: "Specially entrusted by the Marquis of Shou'an, I have something to play."

Zhao Ji glanced at Liang Shicheng, Liang Shicheng hurried forward to take the memorial, and handed it to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji unfolded the memorial and read it carefully, his brows furrowed slightly, his expression became more and more solemn, and finally his face was covered with clouds.

Suddenly, Zhao Ji threw the memorial on the ground and said angrily: "Nonsense, it is simply nonsense! Although he is an imperial envoy, he is patrolling the west of Beijing on my behalf, how can he act recklessly? That Cheng Jie is also a descendant of a famous family, For a family of scholar-officials, it is abhorrent to hide soldiers' armor privately, but the crime is not fatal, so how can this be regarded as a crime of treason, and be executed first and then punished?"

After finishing speaking, he changed the subject, glared at Jin Chongyue with both eyes, and shouted sharply: "You have seen this memorial, don't you dare to present it to me without distinguishing the true from the false? Also ignorant?"

Cheng Jie, the richest man in the west of Beijing, once paid tribute to a pair of jade corals with a height of more than one foot, so Zhao Ji still had an impression in his heart.As for the private possession of bows and crossbows, although the national law expressly prohibits it, anyone with a certain family background and status will inevitably have such prohibited items in their homes. The court also turned a blind eye, although they occasionally arrested people Those who have been convicted of crimes are rarely classified as rebellious. Although Zhao Ji seems confused, his heart is like a mirror.

He only said that Mr. Zhao Hao avenged his personal revenge, and he was extremely upset, but Zhao Hao was not in front of him, so he simply vented his anger on Jin Chongyue.

Jin Chongyue was scolded, but his expression didn't change a bit, but he unhurriedly reached out and took out another brocade box from his bosom, presented it to Zhao Ji, and said slowly: "Report to Your Majesty, I didn't even dare to Believe it, but the evidence of Shouan Houdao's case is as solid as a mountain, all in this box, I dare not dismantle this thing privately, so I went to the palace to face the saint, please Your Majesty personally discern."

In fact, Zhao Ji was also a little troubled.At this time, Zhao Hao's family is in the thick of it, and Zhao Ji attaches great importance to him, and the relationship between Cheng Jie, Cai Jing and Yu Shen is clear in his heart, and he knows that Cai and Yu will definitely not let it go this time, and he just doesn't know what to do When dealing with this matter, Jin Chongyue said that Zhao Hao had submitted evidence of guilt, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked Liang Shicheng to take it over.

Liang Shicheng slowly opened the brocade box, checked it once, and handed it to Zhao Ji after confirming that the items inside were all in good shape.

Zhao Ji opened the brocade box, and saw that there was only a stack of paper-like things inside, so he frowned slightly, took out one of the paper-like things, glanced at it for a while, and his eyes shone brightly, just like when he saw Li Shishi for the first time, There was a look of greed in his eyes.

Afterwards, he took out all the paper-like objects and inspected them carefully. The look in his eyes became brighter and brighter. Finally, his eyes fell on the bottom piece of white paper, and he could no longer hide his ecstasy. of light.

Then put the stack of paper-like things into the brocade box, picked up the white paper, and browsed carefully, the more you look at it, the more delighted you are, as if you have found a treasure.

After a long time, he folded the white paper and put it in the brocade box. When he spoke, his expression became very amiable, and his voice became soft: "Did my nephew tell you about the remaining criminal evidence?" , where now?"

Jin Chongyue looked indifferent, and said unhurriedly: "It can be sent to the palace at noon tomorrow at the latest."

Zhao Ji grinned, and said with a smile: "Okay, very good, my nephew really knows how to handle things, and the case is indeed as solid as a mountain of evidence."

Jin Chongyue bowed deeply and said: "Since this is the case, I have conveyed the message on behalf of Marquis Shou'an, so I will take my leave."

Zhao Ji waved his hand and said with a smile, "Send Jin Shangshu out of the palace."

Liang Shicheng was waiting not far from Zhao Ji, he had already read the "criminal evidence" thoroughly, and he understood it in his heart, so he hurriedly said to the little eunuch next to him: "Hurry up and send Lord Jin out of the palace."

After Jin Chongyue left, Zhao Ji handed the brocade box to Liang Shicheng and said, "Keep it safe, don't lose it."

Liang Shicheng said anxiously: "The humble minister will save me."

……

In front of the Xuande Gate, Yu Shen and Cai Jing scolded Zhao Hao angrily, plotted carefully for a while, and then entered the palace together.

Under the leadership of the servants, the two hurried into the Yanfu Palace, and came to the front of the Ninghe Palace, when Liang Shicheng came out with a few young eunuchs.

Cai Jing said anxiously: "Shoudao, we want to see the officials, please inform us."

Seeing the two men coming hand in hand, Liang Shicheng knew the general idea in his heart, he laughed and said: "The two gentlemen came together, there must be a big event, but unfortunately, the official family has just gone to the Shenxiao Palace, I am afraid they will have to retreat for a few days It's just coming out."

"What?" The two yelled in unison.

The two had already filled up their anger points along the way, and the small universe was ready to explode at any time, but Zhao Ji actually went to the Temple of the Divine Night, and felt a feeling of exhaustion of all his strength, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Yu Shen asked angrily: "Didn't the officials just leave the customs for two or three days, and they went to practice again?"

Liang Shicheng sneered and said, "The officials want to practice Dafa, who dares to ask? If Yu Dazai doesn't believe it, why don't you go to the Shenxiao Hall and ask the officials in person."

Yu Shen was choked by Liang Shicheng, rolled his eyes angrily, and pointed at Liang Shicheng, but was speechless for a long time.

It was Cai Jing who calmed down first, suppressed his anger, and asked slowly: "At noon, there are still people entering the palace to see the officials, and why did they suddenly go to retreat? Could it be that someone came here just now?"

Liang Shicheng was still a little jealous of Cai Jing, but he didn't show his face, but said lightly: "Just now Jin Shangshu came, and he only took half a stick of incense."

When Cai Jing heard it, he understood instantly, he was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, and he said angrily: "It's unreasonable!"

Liang Shicheng flicked his sleeves: "Since the official family has retreated, please go back, excuse me!"

After finishing speaking, he led a few young eunuchs away.

Cai Jing and Yu Shen were left in a mess in front of the Ninghe Hall.

……

Inside the brocade box, there are 300 million coins and a gift list.

"Three authentic works of Wang Xizhi's cursive script."

"Two night pearls."

"Wu Daozi's authentic work "Sending the Son to the Heavenly King Picture"."

"A pair of emerald and flat peaches."

"A crystal cup from the Warring States period."

"Wu Wang Fu sent a sword."

……

The money was left over by Zhao Hao after confiscating Cheng's mansion for disaster relief. The rare treasures and authentic works of famous artists on the gift list were also confiscated by Cheng's mansion, and everything was priceless.

Ever since the Fang La Uprising, Zhu Xi was killed, and Hua Shi Gang was out of service, it has been a long time since anyone paid tribute to Zhao Ji with money or rare treasures.At that time, the Southeast Yingfeng Bureau, in addition to Huashi Gang and other real objects, had cash money a year, and at its peak, it was only more than two million guan, but this time Zhao Hao not only paid 300 million guan at one time, but also paid tribute to a large number of rare treasures that Zhao Ji dreamed of. How can he not like rare treasures.

Back then, Hua Shigang, Zhao Ji, for his own selfish desires, did not hesitate to make the people in the whole south of the Yangtze River miserable, until Fang La was forced to rebel. Now Zhao Hao only killed one Cheng Jie, and got so much money and treasures. Compared with Hua Shigang, It's really insignificant.

At this moment, for Zhao Ji, it doesn't matter whether Cheng Jie is treason or not, what matters is that he can't give up the money and things.Since he refused to give up the money and belongings, then Cheng Jie must be rebellious, otherwise these items would be illegally confiscated and had to be returned to the Cheng family.

Therefore, it is impossible to overturn the Cheng family's case.

The proof is like a mountain!

……

In Luoyang City, the imperial envoys are temporarily in the courtyard.

Zhao Hao sat in the middle of the hall, Wu Song, Fang Baihua, Liang Hongyu, Daoist Qingmu and several deputy commanders lined up on both sides, standing awe-inspiring.

"Now the disaster relief work is coming to an end, but there is no progress in the Beijing Northwest Road official's corruption of ink. He and other forged accounts are leak-proof. Even though Mr. Xu knows it's wrong, he can't find out the clues."

Zhao Hao paused, threw a secret letter in his hand onto the table in front of him, and continued: "According to the Jin Yiwei who was hiding in Du's mansion, it was discovered that Jingxi Sihu joined the army Xiang Neng, so he was Du Gongcai's confidant. You people, I will not be angry with Du Gongcai and others for being greedy for ink. They stole their real account books and fled. They disappeared after leaving Luoyang City. There is no news. It is suspected that they have entered the boundary of Yanshi. The ground is three feet away, and we must find it!"

After finishing speaking, he motioned to Xu Churen, and Xu Churen immediately put the stack of rice paper in his hand on the table and said: "Xiang Neng is in his early forties, about five feet high, this is the portrait of Xiang Neng, you can bring it with you later. "

Everyone stepped forward, each took a few photos, but saw that the man was easy to recognize, thin and thin, with thin eyebrows, triangular eyes, thin lips, big ears, and a big mole under his mouth.

Zhao Hao said again: "There is also a concubine who can escape with Xiang Neng. She is eighteen or nineteen years old. I heard that she is beautiful and likes to wear red clothes. She is deeply loved by Xiang Neng. She has one wife and four concubines. She divorced her. , the other three concubines were all sent to others, and this concubine was the only one who brought along... There are four other confidantes who are quite skilled in martial arts. Now Du Gongcai also sent people to search for this person frantically, you have to find Xiang Neng before Du Gongcai , if someone from Du Gongcai obstructs him, he will be killed on the spot!"

"Here!"

Wu Song and others left in response.

Zhao Hao looked at the backs of the people leaving, thoughtful, suddenly a mechanical voice sounded in his mind, Zhao Hao was caught off guard, and was startled unconsciously.

The system has been upgraded!
