   Chapter 596 Dossier

   On the imperial case of Wenhua Hall, there is a thick stack of files.

   Eunuch Liu respectfully opened the file.

  Emperor Yongjia stretched out his hand to take it, and his expression became more and more solemn from the point of view. Soon, anger flashed in Longmu's eyes, and he even cursed angrily: "You bastard!"

   I don't know who this sentence is scolding.

   Eunuch Liu stood with his hands down, his eyelids not moving.

   Serving by the emperor's side, when he can talk to him, and when he must not intervene, he has already mastered the situation. For example, now, Emperor Yongjia is full of anger and is most likely to express his anger, so it is better to shut up.

   There was silence in the Wenhua Hall, only the slight sound of flipping through the dossier. With a sudden bang, Emperor Yongjia slapped the table and threw the file in his hand.

   Eunuch Liu's heart sank, and at this time he could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and immediately knelt down: "This servant should be damned, please calm down your anger."

  Emperor Liu's anger had nothing to do with Eunuch Liu. At this time, his tone was cold and shocking: "I pass my word and immediately summon Qiao Ge and several ministers to the palace."

   Eunuch Liu hurriedly responded, got up cautiously and withdrew.

After leaving the Wenhua Palace, Eunuch Liu straightened his bent waist slightly, called a few chamberlains, and instructed him to go on: "You go to the six official offices now, and you must invite the elders of the pavilion to come over in the shortest possible time. The emperor is angry, if you are convicted late, my father-in-law will not be able to save you."

   The inner waiters froze in their hearts and withdrew in response.

  The six official offices are on the edge of the imperial city, and they come and go for about half an hour.

   A couple of old Qiao Ge, walking like a fly, were the first to enter the Wenhua Hall. Luo Shangshu and others followed closely behind and followed in together.

  With this half hour of buffering, Emperor Yongjia's anger has passed, but his face is still very ugly: "Elder Qiao Ge, Luo Shangshu, this is the record file sent by the prince. You all have a look."

   Qiao Ge Lao and Luo Shangshu looked at each other quickly and responded in unison. The other Master Shang Shu also took this dossier and looked at it.

   I wish King Wei Shen Qian and the five families needless to say, the evidence is conclusive enough to sentence the nine families to annihilation.

  What is really shocking is General Luo who deliberately delayed the delay!

  Three years ago, there was a vacancy for the commander of the Jiangnan garrison, and Emperor Yongjia appointed his confidant Luo Wu to go there and take charge of Jiangnan military power. Who would have thought that Luo Wu's appetite became so great when he arrived in the rich and prosperous world. Take a look at the seven or eight large houses with ten thousand acres of fertile fields...

   No wonder Emperor Yongjia was so angry!

   This dossier was hit in the face of Emperor Yongjia!

   Speaking of which, after the Crown Princess went to Jiangnan, she quickly stabilized the situation in Jiangnan, which is really a great contribution. However, the temper of the Empress Dowager would never be hidden when encountering such a thing. Sure enough, it came up so bluntly.

   As expected of a hard-tempered Crown Princess!

   After reading General Luo's dossier, all the ministers circulated the transcripts and testimony of Governor Xie Jiang Zhanshi.

After   Luo Shangshu read it, he first cupped his hands and said: "The old people in Jiangnan are bold, assassinating His Royal Highness the Prince in the front, and besieging the Governor's Mansion in the back. I ask the emperor to punish him severely!"

   Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of War said solemnly: "This minister asks the emperor to issue an decree to congratulate the king of Wei Shen, Qian, five families and nine families!"

  Emperor Yongjia snorted coldly: "Pass my will to go to the south of the Yangtze River, kill the five families and destroy the nine families, and all the family assets will be charged into the national treasury."

  Hubu Noble Book was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly handed over his hands to thank him. Dawei's treasury has never been rich, and in recent years, he has been struggling with the people's livelihood and has barely recovered. However, there are still too many places to spend money.

   These five families in the south of the Yangtze River are all wealthy, otherwise, they would not be able to support so many dead men. It is a very good thing for the Ministry of Household to put all the family wealth into the treasury now.

Qiao Ge coughed and cupped his hands: "Jiang Yancha and General Luo are both important officials of the imperial court, and they bear the kindness of the emperor. It is difficult to convince them of their crimes based on the records and files. Bring them back to Beijing together, and the emperor will personally question and convict them."

  The Inspector Jiang was just a pretense, and the one who really wanted to be tried was General Luo. What to cover up was the face that Emperor Yongjia had thrown out.

  Luo Shangshu added: "Before you ask the trial and convict, you should leave some honor for the courtiers. I implore the emperor to give them grace and let them ride a carriage into Beijing."

   If you return to Beijing in a prison car, you will not only lose the face of Emperor Yongjia, but also make the courtiers feel chills.

  Emperor Yongjia had a gloomy expression, and nodded slightly: "I also have this intention. When you come, I will immediately make a decree to summon Jiang Jiancha and General Luo to return to Beijing."

   Qiao Ge Lao and Luo Shangshu were secretly relieved.

  …

   It will be more than half an hour before Qiao Ge Lao and others leave.

   At this time, the sky was getting dark, and butter candles were lit in the Wenhua Hall. The whole hall was brightly illuminated. Eunuch Liu glanced sharply at a file on the ground beside the imperial case.

  Liu Gongji was going to pick it up, but Emperor Yongjia suddenly said: "You all step back, I want to be alone."

   Eunuch Liu and a group of servants filed away.

  Emperor Yongjia's expression was cold and severe, his brows furrowed, his eyes fixed on the file that he deliberately left behind.

   The contents of this dossier are what angered him the most.

   He didn't show Qiao Ge Lao and others at all just now.

   After a long time, Emperor Yongjia bent down, stretched out his hand to pick up the file, and slowly opened it, a few lines of shocking handwriting came into view: The Qian family secretly had a connection with the third prince, so he repeatedly assassinated the prince. He even took the risk, dispatched dead soldiers, besieged the governor's palace, and wanted to put the prince to death.

  The Qian family was ruthless, and before fleeing, they hanged all their daughters and children from the beams of the house. Thirty-two men who escaped from the Qian family have yet to be found...

   This incident actually involved Li Hao!

   Is the statement in this file true, or is it a deliberately fabricated testimony by the Crown Prince to frame the Third Prince in order to use the Emperor's hand to deal with Li Hao?

  Emperor Yongjia squeezed his eyebrows.

  Li Hao was also dispatched to the capital on an errand and just returned to the capital a few days ago. If he wants to see Li Hao, as long as he calls out, Li Hao will appear in front of him within half an hour.

   This oral oracle, he has not spoken for a long time.

  I don't know how long it took, the sky was completely dark, and under the veil of night, the towering Wenhua Hall was like a giant beast, its head proudly held up.

   Eunuch Liu plucked up his courage and came in: "It's getting late, it's time for the emperor to eat."

  Emperor Yongjia didn't have the appetite to eat, he said with a cold face: "There is no need to pass the meal. Go to Shouning Palace to spread the decree, I will see the Queen Mother and the little prince by the way."

After    a stick of incense, the figure of Emperor Yongjia appeared in Shouning Palace.

   Empress Dowager Zhao also heard the news from the previous dynasty, and asked anxiously: "How is the prince now? Have all the old Jiangnan clan who should have been killed by a thousand swords been arrested?"
