Yangcheng

Circles of iron chains were tied to She Zhiye's body, wishing to tie She Zhiye into an iron ball, so that he would not even be able to scratch an itch, let alone escape.

Three iron chains extended from She Zhiye's body, connecting with three members of the Privy Council, which gave the illusion of walking a dog.

Important criminals like She Zhiye still need to be transported back to Boling for a long distance, so they must not relax for a moment. Therefore, on the way back to Boling, people from the Privy Council and Dali Temple took turns on duty at night, and the iron chain could only be untied when they arrived in Boling.

Fearing that things might change over time, Tong Shaoxuan and Shi Ruzhuo were about to return to the capital on the morning of the second day after She Zhiye was captured.

Ge Xunqing didn't sleep at all, and stayed up until sunrise after returning, and prepared two large portions of Cao County specialties, various meat, wine, and cold-proof items for Tong Shaoxuan and Shi Ruzhuo.

"I cook all the meat myself. It's not as smelly as the local ones. It's delicious! The wine is strong, but it's fragrant. I don't think Boling can drink such authentic Zezhou spirits. And these fur clothes , Boling is also cold, in winter, wear a thin shirt inside and another outside, it will make you sweat!"

Ge Xunqing, who was sweating in the cold weather, touched the sweat on his forehead, smiled and said to Tong Shaoxuan and Shi Ruzhuo: "That's all I can give you... Take care. "

One sentence made the eyes of Tong Shaoxuan and Shi Ruzhuo red.

Tong Shaoxuan hugged Ge Xunqing tightly, wishing to carry her back to Boling directly: "I will report the details of this trip to the emperor when I go back, and let the emperor know that there are capable people like you in Zezhou."

With tears in her eyes, Ge Xunqing patted her on the back with a smile: "Oh, don't miss me. Be careful along the way, and go back to Boling smoothly. Everyone has their own destiny, and there is nothing wrong with being in Cao County. I don't think about anything else."

Tong Shaoxuan said firmly: "Wait for me."

The two parted reluctantly, Shi Ruzhuo stood in the distance, and did not come up to embrace her.

"Let's go, Yangon." Shi Ruzhuo said, "See you by fate."

"Hmm..." Ge Xunqing and his party were forced to cry by her, and they quickly burst into laughter, "Let's go, let's go! Be sure to arrive at Chang County before dark, and don't travel at night, it's too dangerous! Changsi! I say hello to my sister-in-law and Ananda! Gongyu! Write to me! Do you hear me!"

Seeing the carriage drifting away, the parting shouts were blown away by the wind, and the hand that stretched out the carriage and swayed could not be seen clearly.

Ge Xunqing gasped for breath, closed her bloodshot eyes, and felt extremely uncomfortable with the empty chest.

Goodbye bye...

How much fate do you have with Fa Xiaozi?

She is not afraid of staying in the Northland all her life, what she is afraid of is the separation and tearing again and again.

……

When Dali Temple and the Privy Council's other important criminal, She Zhiye, was escorted to Boling, the battle of wits and courage in Boling never stopped.

Yu Shitai entangled Shen Yue and Ruan Yue, which was of great use to the end. At the same time, some jailers also changed their testimony along with Sun Yun.

It is said that General Shen and Ruan Sicheng did have coercive means, and they could hear Sun Yun's screams every day, but they did not witness the process of torture to extract a confession, so they did not dare to speak out.

But the screams can't be misheard, if there is no forced confession, Sun Yun wouldn't be crying there by himself.

And some other warders told the truth, saying that they were indeed severely punished during the interrogation by the Privy Council, but since General Shen and Ruan Sicheng took over the case, the torture instruments have been put away, without the help of the wardens, they are in prison every day Judgment, did not hear any wailing.

Yu Shitai used "contradictory testimonies" as an excuse to replace Shen Yue and Ruan Yue, and Yu Shitai was fully responsible for Sun Yun's trial.

Ruan Yue seemed to have heard a big joke: "I'll hand it over to you for interrogation at Yushitai. This Sun Yun will be killed in less than two days."

Doctor Yu Shi squinted his eyes and raised his voice, "What does Ruan Sicheng mean by this? Do you think that our Yu Shitai will be like you, disregarding the prisoner's life and death, and regardless of the truth, torture to extract a confession?"

Ruan Yue saluted Doctor Yushi with a smile, and without being annoyed, he said with a smile: "So it's not that the testimonies are inconsistent. Yushitai has already convicted us of torture to extract a confession, so we really have nothing to say. That's right. I hope Yushitai can be gentler to Sun Yun, at least let him walk up the Naihe Bridge happily."

"Ignorant kid, talk nonsense! You're the one who planted it!" Dr. Yushi blew his beard and stared at Ruan Yue, and his white beard almost stood on end.This imperial censor was tall and mighty, with a pair of aggressive eyeballs almost bursting out.

Ruan Yue is not afraid of him: "Doctor Yushi has to pay attention to his words and deeds. No matter how humble his position is, he is still appointed by the emperor himself. How can he become an ignorant child? Is doctor Yushi questioning the emperor?"

The two were facing each other, their swords were on the verge of breaking out, and it seemed that they would fight at the next breath.

People from Dali Temple came over and persuaded both parties: "Everyone is living on the imperial salary, doing things for the emperor and pleading for the common people. Why should there be disputes between colleagues? Dispel the fire, calm down the anger, don't get angry, if you hurt your body, you will die." Not worth it."

Doctor Yushi flicked his sleeves, and left without showing any knowledge of Xiaoxiao Sicheng.

When Ruan Yue and Doctor Yu Shi confronted each other head-on, he was confident that he would not be at a disadvantage. In fact, he was very uncertain. Yu Shitai really had the right to substitute another person to interrogate Sun Yun.

It was not easy to catch thief Sun and get a corner of the military assets case. If they were really disturbed by Yushitai in the end, then their long trip would be in vain.

Sure enough, he didn't tell them the next day, and directly took Sun Yun to Yushitai.

Ruan Yue was annoyed and apprehensive, and planned to discuss with Shen Yue.

This General Shen really held her breath, seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, she could still keep silent and see no one for a long time.

Shen Yue was doing important things in a silent voice.

Since Yu Shitai abused his power, there were people behind him who bribed the jailer to give false testimony, okay, Shen Yue didn't force it, so as not to waste time and divert his energy to find another breakthrough.

She arrested Wang Hongkuo on the charge of forging official documents, and put Wang Hongkuo in the prison of Dali Temple on the same day.

It is estimated that no one at Yushitai had expected that Wang Hongkuo, who had been missing for many days, was really caught when Shen Yue said he would be caught?

Shen Yue naturally brought Wang Hongkuo out from Tongfu.

Tang Jianwei took precautions and locked Wang Hongkuo for a long time, otherwise the old fox would have fled Boling with his family long ago.

The documents of the three provinces and six ministries will be archived and stored, but the documents that have been tampered with and signed by the Ministry of Households have disappeared. It is obvious that someone wants to have a death without proof.

The devil is ten feet tall, and the Tao has to find a way.

Tang Jianwei went to look for A Zi, and when he came back, he got a copy of the "Document of the Household Department" signed by "Tang Shizhan".

"Do you think it will work?" Tang Jianwei unfolded it in front of Shen Yue.

After Shen Yue looked at it carefully, he asked her, "Where did it come from?"

"The thieves kept a hundred secrets and left them behind."

"Shen, tell the truth."

"...Let Lu Zhou forge it."

Shen Yue Fu forehead: "You are forging evidence."

Tang Jianwei emphasized: "This is called soldiers never tire of deceit. Shen Yue, the original household documents were forged, and I, Aye, was wronged, but there was almost no evidence. Now that there is evidence, why bother to ask where the evidence came from? That's it?"

Shen Yue smiled at her: "Unreasonable."

"Correct, I'll ask my sister to tell you."

"...Come back. She is already asleep, don't wake her up."

Shen Yue took the "criminal evidence" and asked Wei Xi for instructions, intending to retry the case of Tang Shizhan, and to return Tang Shizhan's innocence.

Wei Xi didn't expect that Yu Shitai was shameless and daring, and Sun Yun would take it away if he said it, and if he could stop Shen Yue once, he would have a second time.

But as the current emperor, she naturally has other methods.

Wei Xi not only quickly agreed to Shen Yue, but also tried his best to get Shen Yue an unprecedented "judgment order" for Shen Yue.

Holding the imperial order to solve the case, no one can stop the investigation process, and those who stand in the way are regarded as accomplices.

Shen Yue and Ruan Yu interrogated Wang Hongkuo overnight.

Even Sun Yun couldn't bear the trial of these two, let alone Wang Hongkuo who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Wang Hongkuo spit out the whole story of his participation in the military capital case in two or three strokes, but the household documents were supposed to be signed by him, but for some reason they were changed to Tang Shizhan's name. He did not admit it, and also flatly denied that Tang Shizhan's death had anything to do with him.

After three more nights, Wang Hongkuo was almost exhausted. He couldn't bear it, so he admitted that he knew about the tampering of the documents and signatures, but Tang Shizhan really didn't kill him.

Almost there.

It's almost time to use torture and scare.

With the imperial decree in hand, even if Wang Hongkuo yelled through the roof beams of Dali Temple, no one dared to make irresponsible remarks.

After all, Wang Hongkuo is a soft bone, so he didn't even need to use real torture. He was so frightened that he fainted just by seeing the red iron.

Thinking of his wife's sufferings these years, Shen Yue might not show mercy to Wang Hongkuo at all, and used means that were more ruthless than the Privy Council on Wang Hongkuo in turn.

Wang Hongkuo was tortured to the point of death, so he could only plead guilty, explaining all the crimes for killing and framing Tang Shizhan.

The unsolved case of Tang Shizhan was finally solved.

The father's stigmatization has been rewarded, the person who killed the mother has also been buried in the earth, and the Tang family's vengeance has been avenged.

In the second year of Youkang, the autumn was bright and refreshing.

Tang Jianwei took Ananda, along with Tang Guanqiu and Shen Yue, to the Tang family's cemetery to worship Yeniang.

"Aye, Auntie, the murderer who killed you has already gone down to make amends to you. Now, there is still the Lan clan who is leading all this behind the scenes. I will definitely not let the villain of the Lan clan go. Ye Niang...you take a good look in the spirit of heaven. let's go."

Tang Jianwei removed the newly grown weeds around the tomb, and Tang Guanqiu and Shen Yue wiped the tomb until it was spotless.

Every time Tang Jianwei goes to the tombstone and sees the names on the tombstone, he can truly understand what is the separation of yin and yang.

Ananda came here for the first time, looking at the two names "Tang Shizhan" and "Su Maozhen", she still felt a little strange, and she could see Aniang gently touching the names on the stone tablet, and she shed tears as she touched them , Ananda's heart suddenly swayed, and before Tang Jianwei could say anything, he knelt down beside her and offered incense like her.

Tang Jianwei patted Ananda's head. He was usually extremely naughty, but unexpectedly he was quite obedient.

"Yeniang, this is the daughter of me and Anian, her name is Tong Qichen, and her name is Ananda. Ananda, talk to my grandfather and grandmother."

Ananda said loudly: "Grandfather, grandmother, I am Ananda! Ananda has come to see you!"

Tang Jianwei said, "Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Ananda: "I'm afraid they won't hear you."

Ananda's innocent words made Tang Jianwei and the three of them couldn't help laughing.

"They can hear you as quietly as you speak, and they've been watching you."

Ananda was a little hard to understand. Even if he could speak well, a five-year-old child's ability to understand life and death is still very limited.

But she still understands that blood is thicker than water, and she will still be touched, and understands that Tang Niang brought her to meet Tang Niang's parents.

Ananda followed Tang Jianwei and the others to burn the paper money. She watched pieces of white paper fall into the brazier, and then slowly become lighter, and were carried up to the sky by the wind, and floated lightly into the distance.

People are mortal, so after death, people will be like this ashes, flying to the sky?

……

Wang Hongkuo was put into prison and kept under strict surveillance. Xiang Shang's head would not be kept for long, but he could not die for the time being.

Wei Xi asked people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go to Yushitai to confirm Sun Yun's life and death.

The servant took her oral order, saying that Sun Yun was going to commit a crime and must live.If he died in Yushitai, the entire Yushitai would have to be investigated!

Wei Xi's words made Yushitai quiet for two days, probably because he was calculating the pros and cons.On the third day, the living Sun Yun was sent back to Dali Temple.

Sun Yun returned to Dali Temple, and Wei Chengxian, the Minister of Dali Temple, joined the trial.

During this period of time, Sun Yun was ups and downs, worried and frightened, and he had already been devastated beyond recognition. When he arrived at Dali Temple, Wei Chengxian controlled him again, first keeping him awake for two consecutive days, and Sun Yun completely collapsed.

No matter what Wei Cheng asked first, he would just say what he said, he just wanted to end everything quickly, whether it was life or death, he had no energy to think about it.

But there is one thing, whether it is Wang Hongkuo or Sun Yun after the confession is retracted, they don't say a word about what the Lan family is doing behind the scenes.

Even if they deliberately led it to the Lan family, they all denied it categorically, saying that this matter had nothing to do with the Lan family.

It seems that the Lan family has also been putting pressure on them secretly. Both Wang Hongkuo and Sun Yun understand that if the Lan family is really dragged into the water, there will be huge waves.

After Wei Xi read the dossier, he slapped the dossier on the case table with a gloomy expression.

Wei Chengxian said: "Although it is impossible to search Lan's family, it is a good thing for the government and the public to bring innocent people to justice in this case of military funds. Lan Zhongyu ran away to Fengzhou, and now he is in Fengzhou with Lan Kan. , if there is a change in the capital, they are likely to cause trouble in Fengzhou. However, Lan Wan's deployment in Boling has changed, and there are so many confusions that even spies cannot find out. If there is a strong attack, I'm afraid it will make us Falling into a disadvantageous position. Perhaps now is not the best time to win the Lan family."

It's these things again, talking about timing every time.

Wei Xi watched the sky light tilt from the roof lighting hall on the smooth and flawless ground, reflecting the illusion of a prosperous age.

The key criminals in the major military capital case have all been arrested, and it's not the best time yet.Where is the timing?

Can she wait for such a chance to destroy Lan without fighting?

For the first time, Wei Xi, who had been steadfastly moving forward and fighting his enemies, felt tired.

Just before she was overwhelmed by fatigue, the news of She Zhiye's arrest was sent back to Boling, and the center was greatly excited.

Facing the early autumn wind, Wei Xi stood at the entrance of Fengtian Hall and waited anxiously for Tong Shaoxuan and Shi Ruzhuo, and ordered them to face the saint directly after entering Beijing without delay.

"See Your Majesty!"

The two divisions knelt under the stone steps of Fengtian Hall, Tong Shaoxuan said loudly: "She Zhiye has been successfully brought back!"

Wei Xi yelled "Yes" several times, and put She Zhiye into prison for strict interrogation.

She Zhiye was successfully brought to justice, which seemed to be an exciting turning point, and made Wei Xi's thinking clearer.

Even She Zhiye did not identify the Lan family, and also made Lan Wan's layout in Beijing unclear. It doesn't matter, all the people involved in the military fund case were interrogated. These people must be the Lan family forces who worked for the Lan family.

Even if the knife in her hand can't cut off Lan's roots, it can cut off its branches and leaves, and reduce its arrogance.

Push down this giant tree step by step.

When Shen Yue heard that She Zhiye had been arrested, he immediately went to the Dali Temple prison, and said to Wei Chengxian, "This She Zhiye needs another method of interrogation. Be sure to let him identify the Lan family."

The flames flickered on Wei Chengxian's serious face, reflecting his cast-iron facial features even more gloomy: "She Zhiye is my contemporaries, I know him a little bit, how about..."

Shi Ruzhuo fell ill on the way back, and was going to Shengshu Palace, Wei Xi asked her to go back to rest first, and come back later when she recovers.

Shi Ruzhuo fell into a coma after returning to his residence.

That night in the Provincial Palace, Wei Xi asked Tong Shaoxuan to explain in detail the process of chasing She Zhiye.

Wei Xi didn't need to remind, Tong Shaoxuan described the whole process of arresting She Zhiye like a storyteller, and especially mentioned the credit of Ge Xunqing, who was completely omnipotent in her mouth. talent.

Wei Xi, who had drunk some wine, was lying on the bed, her face was slightly flushed, and she could easily hear what the lucky star in front of her was saying.

"If this person is really like what Chang Si said, he is a small county magistrate in a place like Cao County, isn't he Qu Cai?"

Hearing Wei Xi's tone, Tong Shaoxuan immediately knelt and sat opposite her, his eyes were bright, and his voice was raised a bit:

"How dare a lowly official deceive the emperor? Your Majesty is employing someone, and this person is worthless. Your Majesty will know when you bring her in front of you!"
