Chapter 18 This is threatening him

Huo Yuanlang didn't even want to pretend.

He can go to the battlefield, but he is definitely not driven to the battlefield like a bereaved dog.

Besides, Shi Yu left before he got the power, who will support his precious daughter?

"General Huo is very capable." He gave Huo Yuanlang a bitter look.

"It's not comparable to Lord Shoufu." Huo Yuanlang smiled honestly.

This rough guy with a hidden knife in his smile!
Zhang Pingwei cursed him secretly in his heart.

"I want to see, how long are you going to be sick? Are you so sick that Beidi attacks Dayong?" He looked at Huo Yuanlang coldly.

"I can learn from my loyalty to Dayong. If my lord wants me to go into battle with illness, I will certainly die." Anyone can say beautiful words, and Huo Yuanlang's words directly drove Zhang Pingwei to death.

Sure enough, no one who could get into this position under the tyrannical Emperor Murong Feng was an idiot. Although Huo Yuanlang was a general, he was not inferior to him in the battle of words and guns.

"If General Huo is unable to lead the troops into battle, I can tell the Empress Dowager to let you disarm and return to the field as soon as possible." Zhang Pingwei said with a smile on his face.

This is threatening him.

Huo Yuanlang half-closed his eyes and said, "Then thank you for your compassion."

Zhang Pingwei was so choked that he couldn't speak, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Huo Yuanlang is not even afraid of being dismissed from office!
"Then you just wait." He left such a sentence angrily, and then walked away.

As soon as he left the General's Mansion, he was stopped by Xie Jinyan who came riding his horse.

"What is Dudu Xie doing?" He looked up at Xie Jinyan who was sitting on the horse.

"Please, Mr. Shoufu, come with me to Jinyiwei's office." Xie Jinyan looked at him with an unquestionable tone.

"I don't know what I have committed?" Zhang Pingwei lowered his face.

"You will know when you go to Jinyiwei." Xie Jinyan said, "Please cooperate with adults, after all, you don't want to make too much trouble, right?"

Xie Jinyan is just a running dog in front of the emperor, now the emperor has suffered a stroke and is paralyzed in bed, there is no way to command him.

It is definitely a personal enmity that he came to find himself.

It's not good for him to turn against Xie Jinyan immediately, after all Jin Yiwei's group only listens to Xie Jinyan.

He had no choice but to hold back his anger and asked: "Dare to ask me where I offended Dudu Xie?"

"What does your lord mean?" Xie Jinyan raised his chin slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "Do you think that the governor is seeking revenge for himself? Who do you think of our Jin Yiwei?"

"Take him down and take him away. Let him know what he has committed." He waved his hand coldly, and Jin Yiwei's eagle dogs swarmed up, grabbed him and took him away.

"Xie Jinyan, I am a first-rank courtier, how dare you treat me like this?" Zhang Pingwei's official hat fell to the ground during the struggle, and he stared at Xie Jinyan bitterly.

"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. You are a mere first-rank minister, and you are greedy for money for water conservancy projects. Why don't I dare to arrest you and bring you to justice?"

Xie Jinyan stopped talking nonsense with him, and rode back to Jinyiwei's office.

After Zhang Pingwei's family members learned that he was taken away by Jin Yiwei, they almost fainted.

What kind of place is Jinyiwei? It's the residence of King Yama in the world. Those who enter will be skinned if they don't die.Zhang Pingwei's wife, Wei Ruxue, hastily handed over a sign into the palace, wanting to ask the Queen Mother to save her husband.

After the Queen Mother learned of this, she was in a good mood.

Well, you Zhang Pingwei, you also have today.

"The Ai family knows, don't worry, I will go and tell Dudu Xie, and tell him not to embarrass the chief assistant." The empress dowager comforted Wei Ruxue in this way, but in fact she procrastinated, and did not send the message to Xie Jinyan until the next day. Let him go to the palace.

"My minister sees the Empress Dowager." Xie Jinyan saluted respectfully.

"Thank you Dudu for your excuse." The Empress Dowager gently raised her hand, motioning him to stand up.

"I don't know why the empress is looking for this minister?" Xie Jinyan asked.

"I don't know what happened to Mr. Shoufu to stay in the Jinyiwei all night?" The Queen Mother was indeed curious.

"Tianfu built a dam in Chaozhou in the third year, and he embezzled 10 taels of silver from it. The dam collapsed, flooding destroyed dozens of villages, and countless people died. This kind of crime, he will never be able to wash away in prison in this life. It is." Xie Jin briefly reported the matter to the Queen Mother.

"What?" The queen mother didn't expect it to be like this.

It would be fine if they were only greedy for money, which killed so many people. Once the news gets out, if they don't execute Zhang Pingwei, the common people will definitely not follow, and the ministers who are greedy for money will become more rampant.

So Zhang Pingwei had no choice but to arrest them. They wanted to make an example of others.

However, Zhang Pingwei has been an official for many years, and there are many party members in the court, so it is a bit troublesome to deal with it. She frowned and looked at Xie Jinyan, asking: "Is there any evidence for this matter?"

"Jin Yiwei is on a business, so it's natural that there are convincing witnesses." Xie Jinyan answered very simply.

He didn't fabricate any evidence. Although the person who embezzled 10 taels of silver was not Zhang Pingwei, he was also related to him.It was his own son who caused the matter. In order to avoid the matter being exposed, he had no choice but to clean up the mess for his son himself.

"This is not a trivial matter." The queen mother was a little uncertain for a while.

If Zhang Pingwei is killed, who will be the chief assistant?The cabinet is short of a cabinet elder, who should be promoted?

But thinking of the benefits of Zhang Pingwei's death, she immediately became happy again.

No matter who is promoted, she has the grace to promote them.This is a great opportunity for her to gather power!
Thinking of this, she looked at Xie Jinyan kindly: "Leave everything to Dudu Xie. No matter who it is, they must not violate my Dayong's laws."

She spoke righteously, and Xie Jinyan below also nodded repeatedly.

"The empress dowager is absolutely right."

After leaving the Queen Mother's Fengyi Palace, Xie Jinyan returned to Jinyiwei Prison.

Zhang Pingwei was dying in prison, he had lost the arrogance he had yesterday, after seeing Xie Jinyan's inhuman methods, he trembled unconsciously when he saw him.

"Xie Dudu, I will make up all the money for my son. Please, let me go."

"Can you make up for the silver, can you make up for the lives of those people?" Xie Jinyan sneered.

"I will make up for their families." Zhang Pingwei said hastily.

"Master Zhang, as the chief assistant of my Dayong, you must be familiar with Dayong's laws. You must be very clear about how to judge your crimes?" Xie Jinyan laughed.

"No, no, no, give me another chance." Zhang Pingwei panicked completely, "It's not me who was greedy, but my son. I'm not the main culprit, so I can be punished lightly."
