Has Marquis Anping been beaten today?

In the Yaoguang Palace, apart from Emperor Tai'an Xie Chen and some important officials, there is also a man in white clothes who is plainly dressed and looks indifferent. He looks five points similar to Mei Nianda, and the relationship between the two can be guessed with his toes .

This man looks gentle and gentle, but the words he said are shocking and shocking, and his tongue can't stop.

"The Caomin is Mei Yong, the eldest son of Mei Nianda, the governor of Yongzhou. The Caomin has a grievance to sue." Mei Yong knelt on the ground with a thump, kowtowed three times to Emperor Tai'an, and said solemnly.

"Caomin was very sad when he received the news of his father's death, but it was also expected. Before his father came to Beijing, he was always out of his mind. He often couldn't sleep all night, and shed tears from time to time. Not to mention. Every now and then, I will quietly leave the city alone."

Mei Yong paused, Xie Fan slowly clenched his hands in his sleeves, Wuchang did indeed mention this Mei Yong to him.But this person is young and energetic. He ran away from home after quarreling with his father in his early years. He only came back every year during the Chinese New Year. No one knew where he was all these years.

Xie Fan didn't know how Mei Yong came to the capital, but he had a hunch that what Mei Yong said next would be the result he wanted.

Perhaps Xie Fan's eyes were too hot to be ignored, Mei Yong turned his head to meet Xie Fan's eyes, and was stunned, the corner of his mouth curled up in an arc that seemed to exist, and there were slight ripples in his eyes, like stones Throwing into the lake, with some indescribable complexity, or anger, or grief, or relief.

Just when Xie Fan wanted to take a closer look, Mei Yong had already withdrawn his gaze, and continued: "As a child, seeing the elders in the family is depressed all day long, how can you feel at ease. So one day, Cao Min quietly followed his father while his father was not paying attention. superior."

"The grassroots also secretly speculated that his father might have owed some romantic debts outside. But he never knew that he had hidden more than ten boxes of silver taels in an abandoned coal factory in the west of the city. My father was only a fourth-rank magistrate, with annual salary It's only a hundred or so taels, which is just enough for the mansion to spend a year, so where did you get those ten or so boxes of taels."

"It's not an exaggeration to say that Yongzhou's tax revenue is half a year. And the tax of last year and one year was only paid to the court three months ago. Therefore, these silver taels are not to be handed over to the court at all."

As soon as Mei Yong finished speaking, the hall fell silent. All the officials looked at each other, and everyone had a vague guess in their hearts. They could see Emperor Tai'an's complexion of rolling dark clouds and thunder brewing, and all the old foxes chose to keep silent. Standing straight with eyes and nose and heart in mind.

Mei Yong didn't shy away from it, and once again threw a thunderbolt lightly, causing everyone to panic.

"It's disaster funds." Mei Yong looked around the hall, taking everyone's expressions into his eyes, and the corner of his mouth raised a mocking arc, "It was the one who was escorted to Yongzhou by King Wei last year for disaster relief, and made Anping Hou take the blame for no reason." Part of the 20 taels of disaster funds."

Finally brought it up!

Xie Fan had to be thankful that he didn't have a heart disease, otherwise he would fall down sooner or later with such ups and downs.

What does it mean to have mountains and heavy waters and no way out, and what does it mean to have another village with dark willows and bright flowers.Xie Fan finally realized this today, when he was furious because of Mei Nianda's death and had nowhere to expose the disaster fund case, Mei Yong appeared.It is more effective than Guanyin Dashi's Yangzhi Ganlu, and it just solved his urgent needs.

Xie Fan was happy and at the same time somewhat puzzled, was his luck a bit better?

"Disaster funds?" Jiang Jingyun suddenly said, breaking the weird atmosphere, glanced at Mei Yong, and said sarcastically, "How can you prove that it is disaster funds and not Mei Nianda's plunder?"

"That's it." Mei Yong smiled at Jiang Jingyun without showing any weakness, took out an ingot of silver engraved with a dragon pattern on the bottom from his sleeve, and said calmly, "If Cao Min remembers correctly, this is unique to official silver. mark?"

"Caomin got it secretly while his father was not paying attention. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to inspect it."

Believe it or not, Mei Yong clearly came prepared, no matter how many questions were thrown, he would be able to answer them easily and answer them fluently.

"Tell me, what is your purpose?" Emperor Tai'an, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, looking at Mei Yong quietly.

"Caomin please hand over the official bank that has been found, and ask the king to thoroughly investigate the case of disaster funds, and quickly retrieve the lost official bank, so as not to fall into the hands of thieves and cause disaster." Mei Yong He kowtowed deeply again, showing a clear understanding of righteousness and right from wrong.

Xie Chen, who was bound by right and wrong, listened to Mei Yong's words, and his back was covered with cold sweat. Mei Nianda's wife and children were all under his control, except for the eldest son who had been away for many years and was a fool who only knew how to read dead books. The relationship with Menanda was even more distant, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But it happened that this Mei Yong took advantage of the loophole!

Xie Chen looked up at the floating piece of white silk that was as light as a mist, one after another flowed out of the teeny small script with golden light, and his crimes were densely written on it.From biasing local officials to hiding disaster funds.Every word, every stroke was like a sharp knife tearing at his flesh and blood.

Xie Chen was so anxious that he wanted to refute several times, but Jiang Jingyun cast the curse of obliterating the sound, and he couldn't pronounce a single word, so he could only pin his hopes on Emperor Tai'an.

Emperor Tai'an received Xie Chen's begging gaze for help, snorted coldly, leaned forward slightly, raised his chin, and looked down at Mei Yong from high to low, his voice difficult to distinguish: "You know that you are questioning me?" To the prince?"

"Do you know how much damage you can do to King Wei's reputation with a simple sentence?"

"Caomin knows." Mei Yong looked calmly at Emperor Tai'an, "Father is gone, no matter how much wrong there is, a son of man can't speak rashly, and can only do his best to find out what happened so that he can sue his late father In the spirit of heaven."

"Caomin is willing to go to Qingbaitai, and please ask your majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

I'm afraid this matter will not be good.

The Qingbai Terrace is also called the Destiny Terrace. If a petitioner wants to request a complaint, he must go to the Qingbai Terrace.That is to tie the person to a copper pillar, and continuously pour hot oil on the copper pillar, and after the person has shed the outer layer of flesh, smoke and roast it under a charcoal fire for an hour.

If the person can survive and persevere until the end and is still firm in his thoughts, his appeal will be accepted, and the Department of Mirrors will preside over the trial, and the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will assist in the trial.

Emperor Tai'an's complexion was tense, his eyes gleamed with dark light, and his eagle-like sharp eyes were slightly closed, like a vulture resting on a branch, locking on the approaching prey without saying a word.

Xie Yan's eyes widened in disbelief, his chin almost hit the back of his feet, it was incredible, not to mention whether Emperor Tai'an would really agree to his request to retry the case, even whether he could walk down the stage of innocence alive is also a question .

In the end, Emperor Tai'an nodded in agreement and waved to Xue Bi.

Xue Bi couldn't bear to look at Mei Yong, seeing his detached demeanor of "burning like a fire, wanting to stay innocent in the world", so he could only call the guards waiting outside to take him down.

"Wait." Just when Mei Yong was about to be taken down, Jiang Jingyun stopped him again, raised his head to meet Emperor Tai'an's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty promised Mei Yong's request today, and tomorrow the streets and alleys of the capital will Then everyone will know that Marquis Anping was wronged, and all the grievances and sufferings he suffered are nothing but disasters."

"In addition, the Marquis of Anping was the crown prince before, and since he knew that the Marquis of Anping was murdered by the villains, then does your lord want to restore his position as the prince?"

"Furthermore, there is no way to know whether Mei Yong's words are true or not. Just a word of willingness to go to the white stage is enough? When Mei Yong goes up, no matter whether the final result is true or not, the prestige of the king and the reputation of the king of Wei will all be destroyed. Loss."

Xie Yan stood far away from Jiang Jingyun, so he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but he could vaguely see the impatient look at the end of his eyes.

Through Xie Yan's observation, he can clearly draw a conclusion: Jiang Jingyun doesn't believe Mei Yong's words, and to put it a little deeper, that is, Jiang Jingyun doesn't believe that Xie Chen colluded with Mei Nianda and hid disaster funds privately, and didn't want Tai'an God went to find out the matter.

After all, Jiang Jingyun still thought it was his fault alone.

The present Jiang Jingyun overlaps with the him a year ago in Xie Fan's mind, it is still the same person, still has the same expression, still the same...do not believe him, hate him.

Xie Yan withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a slight arc, the lowered eyelids took the opportunity to show their skills, covering up the complexities in the eyes.

As soon as Jiang Jingyun opened his mouth, the odds of winning were [-] out of [-].

In this way, Jiang Jingyun was the biggest stumbling block for him to cut through the mess quickly, and the Northwest had to move faster, and there was no longer any delay.

Xie Yan's clenched fists were suddenly released, and the tight strings in his heart were also loosened. The inexplicable restlessness and uneasiness that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time flowed freely to his limbs like a spring that was suddenly dredged.

However, he never expected that there was a different voice this time.

"My lord's words are inappropriate." No one expected that the first person to refute would be Zhou Huai, the supervisory censor. Zhou Huai straightened his big belly, saluted Emperor Tai'an, and then turned to look at Jiang Jingyun with a look on his face. Disapprovingly said, "My lord doesn't know that he is only guessing based on his own thoughts, so how can he know what the essence of the matter is."

"Furthermore, as the ancients said, if there is something, it will be changed; if there is nothing, it will be strengthened. Mei Yong's words are indeed bold. He knows the procedure of appealing to the higher level, and he also knows the Qingbaitai, but he still chooses to go to the Qingbaitai. There must be grievances hidden in it. Although If Mei Yong survives, he must accept his lawsuit, but what if he fails to survive?"

"If there is something hidden in it, your majesty chooses to reopen the case, which shows that your majesty can face up to his own mistakes and shortcomings. This action is an example for all people. Why is it so serious as the prince said."

In the end, Zhou Huai concluded: "Why is the prince so eager to stop him? Let him go."

"My minister seconded the proposal." Yushi Zhongcheng Xu Wei echoed.

The other old foxes who were silent also followed suit.

"My minister agrees."

"Master Zhou's words are reasonable, and the minister seconded his proposal."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister seconded the proposal. It's just that I don't understand something. King Jing's attitude is so firm. Could it be..." Wu Youbin, the servant of the household department who has no eyesight, frowned, and looked at Jiang Jingyun meaningfully, and his voice was timely. Stop, the words are exhausted and the meaning is endless.

……

Xie Yan was stunned, frowning slightly, and looked at the seven or eight old officials standing in the center of the hall with a little blankness. It's time to suddenly meet the injustice and draw your sword to help.

What made Xie Yan even more unexpected was that Emperor Tai'an actually agreed.

"Jiang Qing, no one seems to support your point of view this time." Emperor Tai'an looked at Jiang Jingyun with a half-smile, "I feel that what you love are justified, and you should correct your mistakes, and set an example for the people. Mei Yong, I am alone You have this opportunity, go for it, but don't let Gu down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mei Yong bowed deeply.

"Marquis of Anping." Emperor Tai'an turned his gaze to Xie Fan again, his eyes were unfathomable, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "Marquis Anping Xie Fan is the envoy of the Department of Mirrors, and he will report to the Department of Mirrors from tomorrow."

"What does Jiang Qing think? It will be convenient for the sixth child to go to your place."

"Ah?" Xie Fan didn't pretend this time, he was really confused.Let him serve as the mirror envoy of the Der Spiegel Department?That is the position with the most real power besides the master and deputy master.

Xie Yan stared at Jiang Jingyun in bewilderment.

Jiang Jingyun stared at Emperor Tai'an for a while, then glanced at the officials who refuted him, and finally settled on Wu Youbin, his eyes were as cold as the thick frost of three or nine days.

Everyone shrank their necks subconsciously, glanced at Wu Youbin, who had offended others without knowing it, stepped back a few steps tremblingly, looked at his right palm, and planned to escape quickly the moment he summoned Shuangxue, so as not to It hurts the fish in the pond.

However, Jiang Jingyun didn't take any action, he sneered, and cupped his hands at Emperor Tai'an: "I'm not feeling well, so I'll take my leave first."

Without waiting for Emperor Tai'an to agree, he left in a huff.

Everyone couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and for a while they were a little flustered, as if they had just returned from traveling nine days away.

"Sure enough, there is a problem, how many are big?" Wu Youbin said again without knowing it, his tone was very firm, and he turned around to find someone who would unite with him, but when he saw that there was no one around him, he had a good relationship with him Several adults avoided him like a snake and a scorpion.

Wu Youbin: "..."

Does he have leprosy?

Xie Yan was ordered by Emperor Tai'an to stay, and after waiting for an hour, no one expected that Mei Yong was lying outside the hall covered in blood, weakly, and intermittently said: "Caomin Mei Yong, I implore Your Majesty to review last year's Yongzhou disaster funds." case."

Emperor Tai'an's voice sounded like heavenly sounds: "Gu promises you that from tomorrow onwards, the case of disaster funds will be reopened. Third, you."

"I support you!" An hour later, the Yin Yin Curse was automatically lifted. Xie Chen couldn't wait to speak, filled with righteous indignation, and vowed, "No one will pour dirty water on my son for things that I have never done! Back then The disaster fund was clearly handed over to the sixth younger brother himself."

Tai'an Emperor squinted at Xie Chen, interrupted his rambling words impatiently, and changed the topic: "The king of Wei has private views on local officials, and dared to deceive the king. From now on, he will be fined one year's salary and banned from staying in the mansion for half a year. Without an order, you are not allowed to take half a step. Do you have any objections?"

"My son accepts the order." Xie Chen was stunned for a moment, remembering that Emperor Tai'an's bullying was threatening to accept that concubine and nothing else, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief after recovering.

"Lao Liu, from tomorrow onwards, you have to go to court on time, and Xue Bi will send someone to deliver the court clothes..." Emperor Tai'an paused, then continued, "Send it to Prince Jing's Mansion."

"If what happened back then was really wronged, I will definitely give you justice."

Xie Fan has regained his sanity from the initial shock and daze, settled his mind, took a step forward and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, father."

Little did he know that Emperor Tai'an's words blew up a nest among a group of old foxes, and everyone who hadn't stood in line became active. Let Anping Hou go to the Ming Jing Division and go to court again, which is already slowly delegating power.Are they going to re-plan now?After all, the Marquis of Anping still has the status of a descendant.

But Wei Wang committed such a felony, but he was only grounded and fined, and the real power in his hands was still there, which was clearly a preference.But Qingqiu's adult princes are only these two, and there is no hope for the others.

Hey, it's so hard to choose!

A group of people dispersed one after another, and Xie Fan finally walked out of the hall, still feeling that something was wrong, everyone was wrong, feeling that they were pushing him forward, and there was no need to deal with obstacles, as someone would clean them up.

Thinking about it, he suddenly felt his feet tightening, and when he looked down, he saw a bloody face covered in dense blisters like frog eggs.

The calm Mei Yong in front of the hall has long since lost his original appearance, and his free and easy temperament has disappeared, making him a completely different person from before.He tightly grasped the hem of Xie Wen's clothes, his eyes burst out with a strong desire to survive, and his eyes were frighteningly bright.

It's a flashback.

"I'm sorry, you're hurt too badly, I can't save you." Xie Fan shook his head impatiently.

Mei Yong paused, took a deep look at Xie Fan, lowered his head in despair, stretched out his hand tremblingly and left a string of crooked words on the ground, motioning Xie Fan to look.

Xie Fan looked down, and there was an impressive writing on the stone slab made of white marble: "You have to be careful."

When the fifth word was written, Mei Yong rolled his eyes and was completely out of breath.

Xie Yan looked at his unfinished fifth character, the crooked side, trembling very curved, it looked like a vertical stroke or three drops of water, but it didn't look like anything at another look.

Xie An sighed, and ordered the servants to carry him down so that he could be buried.
