Yangcheng

When Tong Shaoxuan arrived at Dali Temple, he happened to meet Ruan Yinghua.

Ruan Yinghua: "Hey, are you feeling better?"

Ruan Yinghua still had a familiar cold face, probably because training subordinates is a common practice in daily life, so even if she greeted casually, there was a sense of oppression that made people dare not respond with the same relaxed tone.

"Go back to Shaoqing, feel better." Tong Shaoxuan bowed to salute.

"Are you thinking about Lu Zhi?"

"Lu responsibility?"

"Oh? You still don't know who the person who competed with you that night was."

Tong Shaoxuan quickly understood that what Ruan Yinghua was talking about was the eagle-eyed man, and his name was Lu Zhi.

It is easy to know the name, and it is easy to trace this person as long as he leaves traces.Tong Shaoxuan was about to ask again with a smile, when Ruan Yinghua said:

"It's a pity you came a step late, he died."

"Dead?" Tong Shaoxuan was shocked, "How did he die?"

Ruan Yinghua became angry when she mentioned this matter: "Untied his clothes and pants, and took advantage of the jailer's unpreparedness, he hanged himself on the wooden railing."

"This... what did Lu Zhi ask before he died?" Tong Shaoxuan thought that it was impossible for Lu Zhi to live, but he didn't expect that no one could watch him in Dali Temple.

"It's all written on the file. Tong Sicheng can read it by himself when he turns back."

Ruan Yinghua was going to deal with the jailer's affairs, and she was very dissatisfied with the two jailers who were sleeping while guarding, and she was even more angry when she said this to Tong Shaoxuan. After saying this, Ruan Yinghua strode away .

Tong Shaoxuan looked at Ruan Yinghua's sonorous back, his back felt a little numb.

From now on, Ruan Shaoqing will be her immediate boss...

It's not going to be a good day in the future.

Tong Shaoxuan went to ask about Lu Zhi. Facing the favorite minister of the emperor, Tong Shaoxuan, who was directly promoted to Dali Temple Chancellor, everyone in Dali Temple was very kind and polite to Tong Shaoxuan.

As soon as Si Zhi and the judges heard that she wanted to inquire about Lu Zhi's affairs, they did not need her to go through the case in person, and immediately explained the details to her one by one.

"What? Uncle Guo?!" Tong Shaoxuan was shocked.

"Hush—" Everyone immediately asked her to keep her voice down.

"Lu Zhe is really tough. He didn't say anything at first, but after two rounds of punishment, he finally spoke. Unexpectedly, he bit Uncle Guo as soon as he opened his mouth."

"The man surnamed Lu really bit Uncle Guo, which is quite irrefutable. He had been an aide in Uncle Guo's mansion for five years, and many people have seen Lu Zhe come in and out behind Uncle Guo. But three years ago, for some reason, Lu Zhi suddenly disappeared, and there was no news after that, and it was only now that he reappeared."

"In addition to confessing that he is the man of the uncle of the country, it is also believed that the person who will escort the sixth prince of Duoyi country out of the city is the uncle of the country. It is said that the uncle of the country has a connection with Duoyi country, and even the privately hidden military supplies in Su County Everyone has a share of Uncle Guo."

Tong Shaoxuan knew that his uncle Luo Xuanfang supported the emperor, and he was the mainstay of the real emperor's faction.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi had been lying in ambush beside Uncle Guo many years ago, and jumped out to identify Uncle Guo at such a critical moment. Wouldn't Uncle Guo be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River?

However, this matter is not without room for change.

Tong Shaoxuan said: "Even if Lu Zhe used to be an aide in the uncle's house for many years, even if he bites randomly now, he has to have real evidence. Besides, the emperor and the uncle do not guess at the same time. Even if they slander the uncle, the emperor will not." I will believe it, let alone punish me.”

As one of the six prime ministers of Dali Temple, Prime Minister Jiaosi sat aside and sneered a few times when he heard Tong Shaoxuan's words:

"Cheng Tong Si is really naive. This Lu Zhi is a poisonous scorpion in the dark in Boling. No one can tell which side he is so far, but since it is the seed planted eight years ago, wait for it. It took so many years to bear fruit, do you think he will bite with only one mouth?"

This Jiaosi Cheng sat in Si Cheng's position for eight years and hadn't moved. He was born in the Imperial Academy, and he was known as the Boling prodigy, the number one scholar in Jinshi, and his experience was almost exactly the same as Tong Shaoxuan's.But he is from the Jiao family and a student of the Imperial Academy, so he considers himself to be superior to Tong Shaoxuan.

But now Tong Shaoxuan, who is ten years younger than him, is on an equal footing with him, and within a short period of one year of becoming an official, he has equaled his eight-year struggle. fire.

His cynicism made the whole Dali Temple cool down immediately.

A group of direct commentators couldn't say anything more, they looked at each other awkwardly, and secretly observed Tong Shaoxuan's reaction, if she suddenly lost her temper, they could immediately dissuade her.

Unexpectedly, Tong Shaoxuan had no intention of getting angry at all, but continued to follow Jiao Sicheng's words:

"What you said is very true. I am afraid that Lu Zhi has already prepared a lot of evidence. Although I have never had contact with Uncle Guo, Prime Minister Luo is cold and arrogant by nature and has no time in his life. What a virtuous and Confucian person can provoke them is nothing but this false accusation! Ah, bad..."

Tong Shaoxuan was in a daze when he said these words, his eyes were straightened, and he didn't have any intention of competing with Jiaosi Cheng at all.

This made Jiaosi Cheng even more of a feeling of being completely underestimated.

Tong Shaoxuan said in his heart, the little thief from the Lan family who saved A Zi fell into our hands, the Lan family must have received the information, if I were the Lan family...

Tong Shaoxuan's spirit tightened -- the Lan family must buy time to make a move as soon as possible, otherwise, when we ask a question or two from the little thief, all previous efforts will be wasted if we take precautions!

I'm afraid the Lan family has already attacked Uncle Guo!

Thinking of this, Tong Shaoxuan immediately stood up and raised his long pendulum to run.

Thinking of something in the middle of running, he came back and saluted Jiao Si Cheng: "Thank you Jiao Si Cheng for your guidance." After speaking, he ran away again.

Jiao Sicheng, who struck out with heavy punches but didn't hit anything, almost turned himself over: "..."

……

"If the sixth prince dies in Boling, the Lan family will drag someone down to the sixth prince's back."

Tang Jianwei's words made Tang Jianwei very anxious, and wanted to pass the news to Tong Shaoxuan.

If she is not mistaken, I am afraid that the people around the emperor will be in great trouble!

Tang Jianwei was afraid that Lan Wan's target was Tong Shaoxuan, but Tong Shaoxuan was not by her side at this time, and she felt a dull pain in her stomach when she was anxious.

Wu Xianrong told her not to worry: "I'll go find Chang Si, Shen, don't get angry, I'll send someone back to tell you as soon as there's news. Take care of the boat! Let me borrow it!"

"Azi, your injuries are alright..."

Before Tang Jianwei finished speaking, Wu Xianrong got on the horse and galloped away. It was really uncomfortable for Tang Jianwei to support his lower back.

"Come out quickly, little brat!" Who would have thought that so many things would happen during pregnancy, and it would be hard to go anywhere, but Tang Jianwei was choked up enough.

Tong Shaoxuan borrowed the horse from Dali Temple, ran towards Shuyuan, met Wu Xianrong face to face on the way, said something, and immediately went to the imperial city side by side.

……

In Fengtian Hall yesterday morning, memorials all over the floor and files taken from Dali Temple fell at Luo Xuanfang's feet, like a curse, enclosing Luo Xuanfang in it.

Among the officials in the hall, most of them were expressionless and just watched the excitement, while the other half looked at Luo Xuanfang with great concern.

Luo Xuanfang stood with his head held high, the majesty in his eyes remained undiminished.

Wei Xi sat on the dragon chair with an extremely depressed expression.

"If uncle Guo has anything to say, you can explain it now." Wei Xi tightly held the dragon head on the edge of the armrest of the dragon chair. His knuckles had begun to turn white.

Lu Zhe confessed in prison that he was instructed by the uncle of the country to steal the day and change the day, intending to send the sixth prince out of Boling, support the sixth prince to win the throne, and then cooperate with the uncle of the country, first take the water and land hub of Angzhou, and then go all the way north, with the intention of Capture Boling.

Lu Zhe used to be a staff member of the uncle's mansion, and he often had correspondence with the uncle of the country within three years of leaving the mansion. He was indeed active in the southeast Angzhou area, and traces of Lu Zhe can be found in several counties.

In the early morning of this day, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Yushitai jointly launched an attack, forcibly broke into the uncle's mansion, and found a large number of letters with hidden calligraphy in Luo Xuanfang's study.

After comparison, the handwriting on the letter was indeed written by Lu Zhe, and the criminal evidence found in the abandoned house where the letter was hidden by Lu Zhe was indeed written by Uncle Guo.

In the early court, Yushi Zhongcheng and Xingbu Shangshu together with 26 important ministers jointly signed a letter to go to Shu, thoroughly investigated the matter of the uncle's collusion with the enemy, cleaned up the poison of the Cang, and set the court order.

Wei Xi did think about how Lan Wanhui would fight back.

She has been fighting with Lan's for so many years, it's not Lan's style not to hide her hand in secret.

Even though Wei Xi was cautious and fully prepared, he still missed something.

Who would have thought that this humble little staff member would suddenly appear?The Lan family has been planning for so many years to bring down the uncle of the country, and at this moment, a storm suddenly arises.

Wei Xi read the searched letters, and the handwriting was very similar.

It must be someone who is very familiar with Guojiu to forge it.

She looked at Luo Xuanfang, and she already understood that the power of the Lan clan had already infiltrated into the uncle's mansion and around Luo Xuanfang.

As the Son of Heaven, she can naturally save the life of the uncle Guo regardless of everything, but from now on, the uncle Guo will not be able to return to the center.

I'm afraid that Lu Zhi is just one of the Lan's many hidden weapons, but Lu Zhi survived, so he was used.

Wei Xi knew that his uncle was honest and upright all his life, and he devoted himself to Da Cang's foundation. He was one of her most reliable ministers.

But uncle also has a fatal weakness.

In his life, the wind and the wind are so solemn, the most unbearable thing is to be stained with a little stain.

He once severed ties with his son because he privately accepted two bolts of silk from his subordinates, and he never said a word for more than ten years.

Lan's party took a fancy to his uncle's weakness of being more famous than his life, and wanted to ruin his reputation and embarrass him extremely.

Wei Xi is now afraid that his uncle will not be able to stand such slander, and acts impulsively.

She has already made up her mind to temporarily leave the official position of the uncle of the country and let him recuperate at home. When she calms down, she must have found evidence to prove the innocence of the uncle of the country, and then she will be reinstated.

only……

Wei Xi looked at Lan Wan who had closed her eyes as if she couldn't hear or care.

Is it possible for Lan Wan to leave evidence that can be elucidated?

After the dynasty was over, Luo Xuanfang came to Wei Xi alone, and the two had a long chat all night, clarifying the thoughts of Lan's party.

"The Lan family's party just wants to use the old man's life to contain the emperor, so that the emperor will not continue to pursue the matter of the iron workshop in Duoyi country."

Luo Xuanfang's thoughts coincided with Wei Xi's.

Now that the sixth prince has died in Boling, Li Like and the hundreds of lives of the Shen family have given an explanation to the royal family of the Duoyi Kingdom. For the Lan family, the most important thing for the Lan clan is Save Duoyi and thousands of iron smelting workshops in China.

This is their lifeblood, and it is the land of rear armament that took countless manpower and financial resources to build.

For the fourth prince, it is not impossible to take back these iron smelting workshops, but it will take some energy.However, if Wei Xi joins hands with him and sends people from Da Cang to clear the payment, the iron smelting workshop of Lan's party will fall short, which is a great loss for Lan's.

That's why Lan's suppressed Luo Xuanfang here.

Lu Zhe's false accusation may be just the first step, it is a warning from Lan's party, and it is a half-dagger exposed.

He warned Wei Xi not to pursue him any further, and not to touch the iron smelting workshop, otherwise there would be more evidence and stigma on Gao Jie's uncle Guo who had lived most of his life.

The two sat facing each other in silence for a long time.

In the end, Luo Xuanfang bowed silently to Wei Xi: "Thanks to His Majesty's care for many years, the old minister has resigned."

"Uncle, you must not fall into the trap of the villain." Luo Xuanfang's words made Wei Xi feel ominous.

Luo Xuanfang didn't say anything more.

This morning, Luo Xuanfang went up in white clothes, holding the melody in his hand, and sneered in Lan Wan's direction:

"Luo does not dare to say what kind of achievements he has made in his life, but he also disdains to be that villain who sticks up and chases away smells. Your Majesty, the old minister has nothing else to ask, but I hope that Your Majesty will eradicate the traitor as soon as possible, and return the old man's life." I am a big blue east wind, enter Lu Hai Yan He Cheng!"

Wei Xi's face changed in shock: "...Uncle!"

Luo Xuanfang put down the memorial, accelerated towards the diagonal column suddenly, bumped into it with force, and was killed on the spot!

There was a burst of exclamation from Fengtian Hall, but Wei Xi didn't have time to stop him.

Wei Xi quickly stepped forward to check, Luo Xuanfang had already broken his neck and was silent.

"Hurry up—Physician Xuan!" Someone shouted behind Wei Xi, and the hall was filled with murmurs and chaos.

Smelling the familiar smell of blood, Lan Wan finally opened her eyes.

She thought of Liu Mao back then, the victim who was chosen to intimidate the emperor.

The old thief Luo died in Fengtian Hall in the same way, Liu Lang should rest in peace in the spirit of heaven.

Wei Xi closed Luo Xuanfang's eyes, and heard Lan Wan say softly behind her:

"Prime Minister Luo committed suicide in fear of crime, please Your Majesty's condolences. As for the affairs of Prime Minister Luo's remaining party, I will definitely find out and give His Majesty an explanation."

Wei Xi didn't look back, and calmly responded to her: "There is Lao Lan Shangshu."

……

Tong Shaoxuan and Wu Xianrong rushed to Fengtian Hall, out of breath, and saw that the old imperial doctor was almost driven into the hall by several civil servants.

The two of them looked at each other, and their hearts were covered with ominous feeling.

When Luo Xuanfang's body was brought out, Tong Shaoxuan and Wu Xianrong saw the emperor following behind, and they immediately moved out of the way.

"Your Majesty..." Tong Shaoxuan watched the guard guarding Luo Xuanfang, and walked slowly forward.

There was no expression on Wei Xi's frozen face, as if he couldn't even see his nostalgia clearly.

Lan Wan came out of Shuyuan, got into the carriage, and headed for the northwest corner of Boling.

Old thief Luo died today, and she only had a brief moment of comfort in her heart that she finally took a breath, but there were more things waiting for her that made her irritated.

"All dead?"

Lan Wan sat in the other hall, and the words of the men in black who reported to her made her frown slightly.

"Return to the Lord, all the people sent to monitor Shi Shi are dead."

"How did you die?"

"It seems that he died in a fight with Cao Long's men. The body was found in a deep alley."

"Cao Long?" It is true that Lan Wan and Cao Long have some feuds, but Cao Long was sued for selling Furong San for profiteering in private, and now that he has fallen, the remnants of Cao Long dare to compete with her in Boling?

As soon as her thoughts turned, Lan Wan understood.

Her useless daughter can't do big things, but there are so many ways to protect her little love that it is annoying.

"Bring the one surnamed Shi." Lan Wan said, "I want to see for myself what she looks like."
