Yangcheng

No matter how Shen Changkong impeached, how the memorials flew in front of Wei Xi like snowflakes, and how he united with his ministers to put pressure on Wei Xi and Shen Yue in the early court, Wei Xi always used four or two tricks to perfunctory the past, but Shen Yue did not Arguing and fighting with anyone, all my heart is devoted to the trial of Sun Yun.

If the emperor doesn't speak, no one can really touch Shen Yue.

But Shen Changkong didn't have other options.

The emperor wanted to protect Shen Yue regardless of his own reputation, so Shen Changkong fulfilled her wish.

Shen Changkong united with the speech officials to put pressure on Wei Xi, and at the same time spread the words among the people that the emperor has no way, closed his mind and refused to listen to advice.

Shen Changkong is very cunning, he doesn't make a fuss about Shen Yue who just returned from "suppressing the bandits", but points out what the Privy Council has done, and focuses on Shi Ruzhuo, accusing Shi Ruzhuo of auspicious snares Ferocious by nature, but today's emperor indulges cruel officials and disregards human life.

For a while, the public opinion fermented in Boling Mansion, and more memorials came one after another. No matter whether Wei Xi was in the early court or in the Provincial Palace, he would be chased by the officials.

It is a rule handed down from the ancestors that the Yanguan is not punished for his words, so Wei Xi naturally has nothing to do with the Yanguan.

However, he could still afford to hide if he couldn't be provoked. It was rare for Wei Xi to be a lazy emperor for a period of time, hiding in Fenghua Palace, having fun with Tong Shaozhuo and Princess Jin'an, and ignoring court affairs.

The morning court was not held for ten consecutive days. The Ministry of Internal Affairs informed all the officials that the cold wave was severe after autumn, and the emperor accidentally caught wind and cold. It is not suitable to go to court these days.You can send the memorabilia to the Provincial Shudian first, and make a decision after His Majesty is in good health.

No matter how powerful and unscrupulous the speaker is, he must never go to the harem unless his head doesn't want it.

The officials were out of breath, but Wei Xi let go of the exhaustion of the morning and night, and relaxed.

Don't pay attention to the rhetoric of the officials, just watch the noble concubine dance sword in Fenghua Palace, listen to the little princess practice essays, the ashes blown into the bone crevices over the years are cleaned completely, and I feel more comfortable than ever.

And Shen Yue and Ruan Yue's trial of Sun Yun finally had a breakthrough.

Sun Yun couldn't help Shen Yue and Ruan Yue's sophisticated tricks, and gradually couldn't bear it.

Shen Yue promised him that if he confessed the truth, his Sun family would be punished lightly, and the Tian family would guarantee that his family would not be retaliated against, and Sun Yun's life could also be kept for him, and he would be exiled to the Lan family where he could not be found. The place.

Mentioning the word "Lan Family" was the biggest hint to Sun Yun.

Now that the opponent is the Lan family, the only one who dares to make such a promise is indeed the Tian family.

During the days in the southwest, Sun Yun and She Zhiye had been hiding under Lan Zhongyu's wings, and naturally witnessed how Lan Zhongyu was defeated.

Now that the imperial power is growing day by day, and there are many talented people under his command, the loss of the Southwest of the Lan family is an important signal.

Perhaps this day is about to change, and the Lan family's waning days are already in sight.

It's time to ditch the old and make the new.

Sun Yun finally spoke up, explaining clearly the whole story of the military fund case.

Back then when Wei Ci abdicated, the first emperor appointed another heir, and soon passed away, and the new emperor had to become a great treasure, but Lan Kan felt that the new emperor was not worthy of virtue, and wanted to support someone else, or even replace him.

During the long years of struggle between the Lan Group headed by Lan Kan and the Tian Family, a generation is getting old, the backbone of the alliance is gradually withdrawing from the stage, and new leaders are slowly emerging.

Lan Kan retired to Fengzhou, and the core of the capital was transferred from Lan Kan to Lan Wan.And the emperor, who was alone and thin, had grown more abundant wings.

The only thing that remains unchanged is Lan's ambition.

The Lan family has been secretly preparing for military pay and reserve military power, and they have even joined forces with the Duoyi Kingdom to build supplies.From the southeast to the southwest, from Fengzhou to Boling, the Lan family is in full swing.

Lan Kan was tired of continuing to play political games with the emperor. He also noticed the growth of Wei Xi, so he wanted to solve this serious problem quickly, and joined forces with the Shen and Wu families to discuss the plan of rebellion.

At that time, Sun Yun was the governor of Suichuan, and he was also a major general that the Lan family had already recruited into the camp. At that time, he was fighting against border bandits in Suichuan, and together with She Zhiye, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, he came up with the idea of ​​military resources.

In fact they succeeded many times.

It is a very legitimate reason to ask the central government for money, food, troops and various supplies due to the war.Every time they ask for help, the center will urgently dispatch heavy troops and horses to support, fearing that Suichuan will not be able to bear it, and bandits will rush into the Central Plains, causing endless troubles.

Every time Suichuan was defeated, military funds were needed, and when the military funds arrived, the war was stable.But not long after, Boling received another letter from Sun Yun, saying that the bandits committed another crime and the situation was urgent, and they continued to ask the court for military pay and supplies.

After three or five times, Wei Xi became suspicious, and Shen Yue led his troops to Suichuan to take over Suichuan's military power. More importantly, he found out what kind of tricks Sun Yun was playing.

As the daughter of the Shen family's concubine, Shen Yue has always disliked what the Lan family did, and even less liked the Shen family's obedience to the Lan family.

This trip to Suichuan was still ordered by the emperor, so it is conceivable that her heart is not partial to the Lan family, and even the Shen family is not in her eyes.

In those years, she has been drawing a clear line with the Lan family and even her own clan.

The matter of Shen Yue's future in Suichuan gave Sun Yun and She Zhiye a great deterrent. Fearing that the corruption of military funds would be revealed, Sun Yun and She Zhiye teamed up to ambush Shen Yue.

Shen Yue also knew what happened later, she was ambushed by Sun Yun and She Zhiye in Suichuan, and she narrowly escaped death.

"Military funds are not something we can be greedy for if we want to. The transfer of military funds needs to go through the "Third Division Inspection". She Zhiye and I are only the "Second Division". Some of them cooperated..." Sun Yun's lips were covered with blood, and his messy and dirty hair hung down his face. Even so, when he talked about the shocking case back then, he still showed a mighty smile.

Ruan Yue crossed his hands on his chest, he and Shen Yue met eyes, and they both understood.

The transfer of military funds still required the hands of the Ministry of Account Transfer, and anything unusual could not escape the eyes of the Ministry of Accounts, so Wang Hongkuo, the head of the Ministry of Accounts at that time, was another key figure in the major case of military assets.

Sun Yundao: "Wang Hongkuo was the Minister of the Household Department at that time. At that time, the Minister of the Household Department was vacant, so Lan Shangshu offered him an olive branch. This Wang is timid, but he has a good reputation in the court and is very good at putting on airs. Where he is useful, it is easy to hide."

Sun Yun said that Wang Hongkuo was the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he must have secured his military resources to be safe, but after all, his ability was inferior to that of his student Tang Shizhan.

Tang Shi is a rare talent who has good eyesight, good ears and good governance. Lan Wan likes him very much and wants to recruit him.But under repeated temptations, Tang Shizhan remained unmoved.

Even though Tang Shizhan didn't know that his teacher had betrayed Cangshi at that time, and that the Lan family was diverting military funds, in Lan Wan's eyes, unusable people would definitely become enemies at some point in the future , she had already murdered Tang Shizhan.

But he was one step slower than Wang Hongkuo.

After Sun Yun and She Zhiye teamed up to "kill" Shen Yue, they were afraid that the fire would not be covered by paper. If the emperor continued to investigate and the military fund case was exposed, they would definitely not be able to escape.

Rather than sit and wait, it is better to strike first.

The case of military assets has shocked the government and the public. Sun She and Sun Yu took the initiative to report the embezzlement of military pay, but they did not admit that they did it. Instead, they put all the blame on Wang Hongkuo, and then created an accident , The world evaporated.

Wang Hongkuo was charged with a huge crime, and he was so frightened every night that he couldn't sleep, not knowing what to do.

At that time, Lu Zhi was in Wang Hongkuo's house, acting as a counselor under the false identity of "Song Mu".

Lan Wan, who has been watching the show in secret, senses a good time to borrow a knife to kill someone.

At this time, Sun Yun had not yet left Boling, and he witnessed the whole process of Lan Wan killing Tang Shizhan by Wang Hongkuo's hand.

Lu Zhi gave Wang Hongkuo an idea: "Wang Gongzheng fell into the scheme of the traitor, and now he cannot escape the blame. If the emperor blames it, I am afraid that the whole Wang family will be imprisoned."

After Wang Hongkuo heard his words, his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, he was at a loss and asked Lu Li what to do.

Lu Zhi then taught him: "Others have framed the prince, and the prince can naturally use the same method to get rid of the crime."

After Lu Zhi whispered in his ear, Wang Hongkuo said "ah?", and his whole face wrinkled: "This, how can this be? He is my beloved student! How can I..."

Lu Zhe looked at the prince with a pair of sharp eagle eyes. He had a strange appearance, and he had a sarcastic attitude when he smiled a little.

"The prince and his family were killed, or a student died, the prince can decide for himself which is more important."

Wang Hongkuo fell silent.

Afterwards, he did act according to Lu Zhe's plan and killed Tang Shizhan on the way to interrogation, and the co-interrogators forged his testimony.

At this time, Lu Zhi sent people to find Wu Niangzi and asked her to forge household documents and change all military-related documents signed by Wang Hongkuo into Tang Shizhan's name.

With these criminal evidences, Tang Shizhan's death became a suicide in fear of crime.

The original mastermind, Wang Hongkuo, escaped the catastrophe and became a misdemeanor, which was not conducive to the supervision of his subordinates. He was relegated to the remote Yunzhou as the governor.

When advising Wang Hongkuo, Lu Zhe was sure that Wang Hongkuo would act according to his words. After adding fuel to the flames, Lu Zhe left Wang Hongkuo because he had more important things to do.

Lu Zhi changed his identity and came to Shen's residence. After he settled in Shen's residence, news of Tang Shizhan's death spread throughout Boling.

Yang Ke encouraged the Yang family and Tang Xuming to take the opportunity to seize the title, while Lu Zhi cooperated with him inside and outside, and framed Tang Guanqiu and Shen's servants for adultery, and wanted to sweep Tang Guanqiu and Tang Jianwei out of the Tang family, and send them far away from Boling. There are no descendants of Tang Shizhan in the mausoleum, which can be regarded as punishment for his ignorance of current affairs.And having the Yang family and Tang Xuming in charge of the Tang family is also very beneficial for the Lan family to control the Boling family.

Sun Yun explained all the old cases back then. Some things were expected by Shen Yue, but some viciousness and darkness were beyond her expectations.

·

After Sun Yun's trial was over, Ruan Yue's hands were sore from writing the long confession document.

After submitting the confession documents, they waited for the conviction of Sun Yun, Wang Hongkuo and others.

Fearing that Wang Hongkuo would abscond, before the arrest notice was issued, Shen Yue took people directly to the palace, intending to arrest him and control his actions.

Unexpectedly, when I went to Wang's residence, Wang Hongkuo and his son disappeared.The whole family of the Wang family was looking for it, saying that the two of them had disappeared since the day before yesterday, and they searched all the places where they might come and go in Boling, but they couldn't find them.

Ruan Yue: "No way, did this old man get the news early on and escape from Boling?"

After thinking for a while, Shen Yue immediately went back to Tong's Mansion.

After returning to Tong's Mansion, Shen Yue soon found Wang Hongkuo and his son Wang Lang in the backyard.

Sure enough, here.

Wang Hongkuo and his son, whose broken leg finally grew back, were tied up and thrown into the firewood shed in the backyard, with a thick piece of cloth stuffed into their mouths.

They didn't know how long they hadn't eaten, and they were so ashamed that they couldn't open their eyelids, and they were tied back to back.

When the door of the firewood room was opened just now, they immediately cast terrified and hopeful eyes, but when they saw that it was Shen Yue who came, the little hope that had just been ignited in their eyes immediately turned into full fear.

"How's the trial going?"

Tang Jianwei appeared behind Shen Yue at some point, holding an iron pestle in his hand, and with a "bang" on the ground, Wang Hongkuo and Wang Lang trembled.

Tang Guanqiu and Tang Jianwei stood side by side, holding a shining long knife. The blade of the long knife was swayed by the sun, and it was extremely sharp. hurt yourself.

Tang Jianwei heard from Shen Yue that Sun Yun's interrogation was going well, and maybe the answer that upended her family and her life was about to come to light.

When the truth came out, Tang Jianwei felt an indescribable tension and anxiety in his heart.

Tang Jianwei knew very well how cunning Wang Hongkuo was, and was afraid that he would run away upon hearing the news.If he was really allowed to escape, it would be even more difficult to dig him out later.

Tang Jianwei personally tied Wang Hongkuo and Wang Lang back. Regardless of the outcome of the interrogation, Tang Jianwei must prepare in advance, and Wang Hongkuo must not be allowed to escape.

"Is there a result?"

Not to mention Tang Jianwei, even Tang Guanqiu, who was always meek, couldn't help asking Shen Yue anxiously, pulling her sleeve, and looking at her eagerly, wanting to give Shen Yue a good time.

Tang Jianwei followed Tang Guanqiu and stared at Shen Yue closely, wishing to see a few holes in her body.

When Shen Yue opened his mouth, the two sisters held their breath and focused, for fear of missing a word.

Shen Yue told the whole story of the general's case, so that Wang Hongkuo lowered his head in panic and shame, not daring to look at the angry eyes of the two sisters of the Tang family.

"Sure enough, it's exactly what I thought...Wang Hongkuo, you deceived the king and gave up your money, but you didn't even have the courage to admit it, and you even charged this crime on your student...With the title of a sage in the world, Are you ashamed?!"

Out of anger made Tang Jianwei stop two short sentences, his heart seemed to be boiling with boiling water, and sparks almost shot out of his eyes.

With tears in Wang Hongkuo's eyes, he was speechless.

Tang Jianwei didn't want to hear his excuse either, his ears were dirty.

She picked up Wang Lang, threw it aside, and called the servants at home to hold him firmly.

Wang Lang's leg, which was finally connected with great difficulty, was placed on the low stool in front of him. Tang Jianwei lifted the iron pestle in his hand and hovered on Wang Lang's knee.

"This leg was cured with the medicine I found from various places. Back then, I was blinded by your royal family. I just wanted to be filial for me..."

Speaking of Aye, the unprecedented grievance and grief almost shattered Tang Jianwei's heart, and the uncontrollable sadness rushed upwards, and his vision quickly blurred.

"I was stupid at that time, I admit it. Fortunately, God has eyes, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end. I want to get back everything I gave to your Wang family. Since this leg was extended by me, I will do it again today." Break it off. All the kindness between our Tang family and the prince begins with this leg, and it will be cut off in two."

Wang Lang screamed in fright, desperately shrugging his shoulders, whimpering from his throat, desperately begging for mercy.

Tang Jianwei really couldn't see his useless appearance, so he raised the iron pestle without blinking his eyes, and knocked hard, and the fragile leg that had not yet healed was broken again on the spot.

Shen Yue covered Tang Guanqiu's eyes the moment Tang Jianwei moved his hands.

Tang Guanqiu pressed his back against Shen Yue's chest, held her hand, and gradually moved it down.

"I'm fine." With tears in Tang Guanqiu's red eyes, his expression was determined, "I'm not afraid. All the lost things of our Tang family, I will see them come back one by one with my own eyes."

Wang Lang fell to the ground in pain and burst into tears. Tang Jianwei walked up to Wang Hongkuo, carrying the iron pestle.

Wang Hongkuo has already turned into a sieve.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Dirty my hands." Tang Jianwei threw the iron pestle aside, "I want Ye Niang to use my eyes to see your Wang family fall with my own eyes."
