Fantastic scenery

Shen Yiguan didn't seem surprised, "What else is there for Mr. Fang?" Even the tone of the interrogative sentence seemed calm.

"You and the local officials have embezzled the tax on salt printing and money." Fang Shu sneered: "Although you have made false accounts, you can check them carefully and they will not be correct."

Shen Yiguan did not deny it, "Then what? Mr. Fang should have evidence. If you don't report it, what are you talking about here?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Yiguan was not disobedient at all, but rather confident, which made Fang Shu even more angry.

"Let's not talk about this first, why did you let Tai Ling go to jail?! There was Qi Liang before, and then Tai Ling. You targeted me so much that you didn't even let your own son go?!"

"I didn't expect that kid to tell you everything." Shen always lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, "Two days ago he came to invite me to a wedding...it's still a wedding with you, huh, this matter Will it be ridiculed by the world if it is spread out?!"

"In order not to let him marry me, you let him go to jail? What a good father you are!!"

"Your father knows that he may break your leg! Parents are the same all over the world, you are still young and don't understand." He changed the face of an elder again.

"My father won't. He is a person who doesn't talk much and is not good at talking, so I often don't know what he thinks, but because of something he was young, he showed his father like a mountain. He didn't hinder me, but You respect me. Not as selfish as you!"

Shen Yiguan smiled, "It sounds like your father is a very remarkable person."

"Yes, it's a thousand times better than you!!" Fang Shu crushed a teacup on the table, pierced his palm with blood, and there were pieces of broken porcelain embedded in the flesh. evidence that you are rotten in the underworld."

Facing this threat, Shen Yiguan could hear cocoons in his ears, "Everyone who said that has been reincarnated."

There is a big difference between this calm and clear cloud and Fang Shu's madness. There are blue veins on Fang Shu's forehead. He drew his sword out of its sheath, lost his mind, slapped the table and flew into the air, stabbing at Shen Yiguan's forehead and heart. Shen Yiguan From the beginning to the end, there was an old fox's smile, he didn't even blink, and he was about to kill him, but unexpectedly, the cold wind picked up, and the silver light flashed, Fang Shu's hands vibrated violently, he heard the swords and swords colliding, and the scenery It had already been knocked to the ground, but Liang Zhu inserted a gleaming knife, which was still vibrating.

The knife cut through Fang Shu's green jacket on his chest, Fang Shu rolled on the ground a few times in order to avoid it, and the red brocade bag rolled to Shen Yiguan's feet.

"Fang Shu! You are so confused!" The person who came was Zeng Lingtian. There was a worried voice from Manager Shen outside. He quickly closed the door, walked up to Fang Shu and helped him up.

"It's just right, this kid assassinated the imperial court official, and there are witnesses and evidences, I'm afraid he will die!"

"Master Shen!", Zeng Lingtian was also looking tired, he stood between the two, "This is a trivial matter, Fang Shu is impulsive, everyone talk about it!"

"On impulse?!", Shen Yiguan noticed the bag at his feet, and he picked it up. When Fang Shu saw it, he touched his body in a panic, and panic appeared on his face. He wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Zeng Lingtian, "Shen Consistent! Give it back to me?!"

When Shen Yiguan took out the contents of the kit, his expression was abnormal. After observing for a while, his face changed drastically, and then he raised his eyes to Fang Shu who was stopped by Zeng Lingtian, and said, "You are Fang Shujue?! Fang Yan's son?!"

The three people in the room were still, Fang Shu took the opportunity to break free from Zeng Lingtian, and snatched the Dao Huangzhu from Shen Yiguan's hand, "How do you know me?!", Fang Shu didn't want to hide it anymore, he was already ready to die when he came here .

"This is a token of love I gave to Tai Lingniang. I only recognized my son when I saw Tai Ling give it to you more than ten years ago. At that time, I was sitting upstairs on the side of the street watching you being escorted out of Beijing. ... No wonder you look so familiar." To Fang Shu's surprise, Shen Yiguan suddenly lost his expression.

Whether Fang Shu is Fang Shujue or Huo Tailing is Shen Yiguan's biological son, these two are shocking news to Zeng Lingtian.

"Boy Huo is your...your son?!", Zeng Lingtian felt very lost.

Shen consistently nodded, "Thank you for your upbringing in those years."

This made Zeng Lingtian very uncomfortable to hear, the tone of his father's self-proclaimed tone made him feel depressed and kept silent.

Shen Yiguan asked: "Why did Mr. Zeng appear here suddenly?! Today is really... what day?"

Zeng Lingtian frowned again, and said in a cold voice: "Master Zhao, the Chief Assistant, said that Huo Boy had colluded with Zhanyu Nine Lotus Sect rebels, and the trouble has already gone to the Holy One."

Shen Yiguan hammered the table, "Is this old guy seeing the right time?"

Fang Shu, who was left out in the cold, said in a cold voice: "Shen Yiguan, you were the one who embezzled the horse price and silver case back then!! Our whole family died because of you...because your family was ruined!!"

Fang Shu picked up the sight of being knocked to the ground, and pushed Zeng Lingtian who was standing in front of him with his hands, "It's time to settle the matter today! The law can't punish you, so let me punish you!"

"Listen to me! Nephew." Zeng Lingtian grabbed his arm holding the sword with one hand, "If Master Shen hadn't tried his best to remonstrate and spare Master Fang's family back then, you wouldn't be here anymore!"

Shen Yiguan didn't have the arrogance he had at the beginning, but just hung his head in silence.

"He's just a cat crying and a mouse pretending to be merciful!" Fang Shu snorted coldly, "Pretending to be a good person in sheep's clothing?!"

"Say you are young, and you don't understand many things!" Shen Yiguan sighed, "You just don't understand!"

"What are you pretending to be so profound?" Fang Shu gritted his teeth, "Over the years, how many nights have I dreamed of tearing you up and feeding them to the dogs! I have worked hard for more than ten years for this day."

"Is it just for this? I thought you had other things to do when you came to Beijing?" Shen Yiguan just laughed lowly, "So did you use Taiwan orders? Use him to be infatuated with you? It was because of you that you fell ill back then. , that kid was in a coma for several days and only yelled "Brother Jue". Fortunately, he forgot those things after a serious illness. The feelings of young people... are like seeds, buried deep, but they meet again You are still breaking ground. He is like his mother, very infatuated." The sadness in the words is more awakening than the cold outside.

"What qualifications do you have to comment on the matter between me and him?!", Fang Shu's eyes were red, and he was about to stab with his sword.

"Master Zeng! I don't want to hurt you!"

"Master Shen! Hey! Aren't you going to explain?!" Zeng Lingtian was so anxious in the middle that he didn't know what to say, "Nephew, do you know where the relief supplies from Guanzhong come from?!"

"Ling Tian! He should hate me in the first place, there is nothing to explain!" Shen Yiguan put his hands on his shoulders and pushed him away, "Ten years were originally stolen."

"Just think it's for Huo boy! Can't you talk about it?"

"Where did the supplies from Guanzhong come from?" Fang Shu asked with a frown.

"Do you still remember the salt banknote printing case investigated by Wen Xuanqing some time ago?" Zeng Lingtian sighed, "It was bought with the silver taels drawn from it."

"It's enough to apply to the national treasury? Why? Why do you do this? Do this kind of risky thing?"

"Didn't you apply to the national treasury? How long have you waited?" Shen Yiguan said sneeringly, "Even if there are officials in Beijing who care about this matter, the materials allocated are a few layers of hands, where is it clear or dirty? And you know? Even if it’s all clean, there’s not a lot of supplies, how many procedures are completed, time is delayed, and how many people died? Do you think that during that time, you were the only one who was busy with this?”

Fang Shu was stunned and did not speak, the hand that raised the sword seemed to be drooping.

"Being an official is not that simple. How many people didn't hold the idea of ​​serving the country and the people at the beginning of becoming an official? But how many can stick to their original intention? How many times have I wandered between Qingming and common people? Until now I don't know which of the two is more important. But more than ten years ago, someone taught me, and I counted as my mentor." Shen Yiguan's throat choked, "That person is your father."

"My father? What... what happened to you?" Fang Shu lowered his hands and stared at Shen Yiguan, who had two turbid tears in his eyes.

"At that time, the dykes and dams in Henan were in disrepair for a long time, and there were several days of heavy rain in summer, which washed away many fertile fields and cost many lives. However, the treasury was not full. Today, the Holy Majesty also spent a lot of money to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and spent a series of expenditures on overhauling brick kilns. At that time, the income was only the price of horses from the Taipu Temple, and the money was not used for disaster relief... On the one hand, the lives of thousands of people were at stake, and on the other hand, my own innocence. After tossing around overnight, I did Fang Yan saw it at a glance. He questioned me face to face. I was very scared at the time, so I told the story. He only said that he would not tell the story. The disaster was even worse than in Guanzhong, and the disaster worsened and spread to Beijing. Fang Yan came to me and told me to send the silver to Henan as soon as possible. Other officials knew about the false accounts of the horse price silver and reported it. I was very scared at the time , I dared not go out for two days, and when I made up my mind, I heard the news that Fang Yan surrendered himself. In order to get rid of me, he said that I reported it, and that I was not a criminal but a hero. "

With a clang, Fang Shujian fell to the ground, "You are lying!! You are just making one-sided remarks!!"

"Nephew, what Master Shen said is true, and I am also one of the accomplices." Zeng Lingtian suddenly knelt down in front of Fang Shu, "I know the truth, but I can't stand Master Fang begging left and right. The most important thing is that he was finally arrested... On the day Mr. Fang was beheaded, I didn't even have the courage to go see it. I heard that Mrs. Sister-in-law passed away unfortunately, and you disappeared without a trace. I asked you to look for you for several months. I found nothing....Thinking that something happened to you too...."

Fang Shu hurriedly knelt down to help Zeng Lingtian, "I...", Fang Shu choked up, his whole body was as weak as if his muscles and bones were gone, and finally hugged Zeng Lingtian, and both uncle and nephew reached their heads and cried, " How is this! It shouldn't be like this..."

"Your father is indeed... a thousand times stronger than me. I still don't have the courage to face that matter. Sending you mother and child out, I only dare to watch from a distance...", Shen Yiguan also sat behind the two of them, as if he had lost his soul, "Your father said that being an official is like doing water. You don't want to be flooded by the Yellow River or overflow the banks of the Yangtze River. You only want to make money and your name is in your heart." Can't hold many people's lives..."

"But my father cares about his reputation!"

Shed tears to the east wind, shed tears to the east wind, without feeling wet and green.The hatred in my heart is greater than the sky, the hatred is greater than the sky, but people have already passed the hell, no one will ask.

"But your father chose common people, and I mustered up my courage in the case of salt printing money, and I am not afraid of being investigated..."

Zeng Lingtian sighed old-fashionedly, "It's all a misunderstanding..."

"Why did you push Tailing into prison?!"

"Someone wants to assassinate him, Dali Temple is the safest place."

"Qi Liang was imprisoned...is that also the reason?"

Shen Yiguan sighed, "Mrs. Qi had a miscarriage... I really didn't expect it."

"Why are you helping me?"

"Didn't help you... I don't know, that's what I did."

"..."

Fang Shu didn't express his depression of more than ten years, but fainted on purpose.

When he woke up, he was already lying on his own bed. Seeing that the sky outside the window was Weiyang Tian, ​​Qi Liang was lying on the head of the bed, and was woken up by the sound of Fang Shu getting up, "My lord! You're awake!"

"Who sent me back?"

"My lord, how did you meet Master Zeng?"

Fang Shu's eyes were sore and he shook his head, "Don't mention it. What about Taiwan Order? Any news?"

"Master Fang...you are awake, but you have the reputation of colluding with Zhanyu. I don't know what kind of enmity Mr. Shoufu has with Mr. Huo, and he insisted on the crime of Mr. Huo."

Fang Shu dressed and went out, Qi Liang hurriedly followed, "My lord, where are you going?"

"I'm going to find Lord Wu Yingjue."

The next day, the memorials from the court admonishing the crown prince flowed to the cabinet like a flood, and most of them accused Zhao Zhigao of his inaction, and his words were sharp. I heard that Zhao Zhigao was so angry that afternoon that he vomited old blood. The matter of colluding with the factory to form cliques caused the court to explode within a day.

Concubine Zheng went out of the palace to meet Zhao Zhigao in private, accompanied by Concubine Zheng's relatives.

Zhao Zhigao's old face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Dongchang has lost power, and Chen Ju is like a tiger with a broken arm. He has nothing to do. I'm afraid I can only resign, otherwise I will die!"

It turns out that since the last red-sealed case, Chen Ju had an affair with Huo Tailing, and he secretly became Zhao Zheng's minions.

"You useless thing! At the beginning, I spared no effort to speak well of you in front of the Holy One, and he agreed to help Chang Xun become the prince. What happened in the end?! Now you want to run away with your tail between your legs?!"

"Old minister... I didn't expect Shen Yiguan to deal with me. I have a lot of tricks in his hands! If he talks again, I'm afraid that even the imperial concubine will be dragged into trouble!"

"Kill him to silence him, wouldn't it be good?!" Concubine Zheng said harshly.

"He warned me today and asked me to withdraw my complaint against Huo Tailing..."

"Impossible! How long has Huo Tailing bullied us? If it wasn't for him, that bastard Zhu Changluo would have died several times!! He failed to kill him last night! Will he be released if he has a chance? If he doesn't submit to me? He can only die, There is also the current matter of forcing the crown prince! Now he has added an annoying Fang Shu to fight against us!! It must be done!!" Concubine Zheng walked away with a stern voice, "Find out your own affairs! !"

The interrogation by the three divisions this time was very fast. On the night when Zhanyu attacked Dongchang, someone saw Huo Tailing send Zhanyu out of Dongchang, and the witness was a hundred households in the imperial guards at that time.But Huo Tailing in the hall didn't say anything, didn't make any rebuttals, he just watched everyone.

In the end, the little eunuch in the palace also identified Huo Tailing, "That night, Huo... Mr. Huo killed Eunuch Liu in Xuexuan!"

This time, Huo Tailing responded, "It's me! He resold Yan people and maids who made mistakes outside the palace, and I caught him. I could kill him, but I did not hang his body in front of Concubine Zheng's palace."

He Xiang asked, "How did he speak so rudely?"

Huo Tailing sneered and said: "He said he wanted the people behind him to kill me, isn't the person behind him the Concubine Zheng?" Even though he was kneeling in the courtroom, he didn't seem a bit humble.

He Xiang turned to the witness, and the little father-in-law was already sweating and tongue-tied, "I...don't know..."

"Giving false testimony is a serious crime of beheading! I'll give you another chance." He Xiang slapped the wood, and the little eunuch bowed quickly, "Little...Eunuch Liu did say so."

"You guys have time to check the secret transactions in the palace, Liu Fu is just a lead." Huo Tailing said seriously, "Is there any more? No, can I see Fang Shu?"

Now the fact that Huo Tailing and Zhanyu colluded is almost indistinguishable, but how to convict them has not yet been said.Certainly, the guilt will not be small.

Knowing that today is the interrogation, Fang Shu has been waiting outside Dali Temple, and when he heard the news that Huo Tailing could be seen, he went to Huo Tailing's prison in three steps, "Tailing!"

Huo Tailing's complexion was not good, he thought the injury hadn't healed yet, he clutched his waist and staggered to the iron railing, as if there were tears in his eyes, he held Fang Shu's hand, rubbed it lightly, and said: "Never Brother, you finally look better, and you've lost weight again."

Fang Shu's whole body froze, and after a while, his nose was itchy, and the person in front of him became more and more blurred, "You...", before Fang Shu could ask, Huo Tailing nodded.

"I'm sorry...I'm not annoying you, I'm afraid I'm not good enough for you. I was too young and I was too scared."

The soldiers guarding the prison walked away in embarrassment, leaving them some space.

Fang Shu stretched out his hand to brush his face, with tears streaming down his eyes, "It's me...too anxious."

Huo Tailing pressed the hand that was sticking to his face, "I'm afraid we won't be able to get married in three days. Three days later is the day when I will be beheaded... There is not enough fate in this life. About Zhan Yu I admit to the matter of the Nine Lotus Sect, and the matter of printing money with salt...I have always known that there are too many crimes to crush a person to death, so I took the initiative to resist."

"You are crazy!! There is room for maneuver in Zhanyu's matter. The Holy One has no intention of punishing Zhanyu's crime, but why do you take the initiative to touch the matter of printing money?!"

This is tantamount to sparks falling from the sky, hitting Fang Shu almost unconscious.

"This matter has to be resisted by someone, just like the horse price silver case more than ten years ago, this matter should be regarded as...we will return your Fang family. My father has told me... ..”

"Heh!", Fang Shu broke free, ".Repay our Fang family? Do you owe our family? What you owe is mine!! How do you pay it back?? How do you pay it back?! Ah! Ask you!! There is no next life, only this world!!", Fang Shu kept wiping his tears with his sleeve, "I have nothing! I have nothing... I have nothing at all , because of you, this makes me unbearable!!"

"Brother Jue..., I'm sorry, I broke my promise."

A man doesn't flick his tears lightly, but he doesn't reach the place where he is sad.

Both of them had tears in their eyes, and were speechless for a moment.

"I'll get you out..."

Since ancient times, good things are not firm, and colorful clouds are easy to scatter and glass is brittle.
