Heshen is a strict wife

Li Shiyao has been proud of himself for half his life, and has never been in such a state of embarrassment.

I remember that He Shen had just entered the court and became an official at that time, and he looked like a half-sized boy stunned. When did their group of people put He Shen in their eyes?Unexpectedly, now that he is in jail, He Shen is standing here with a relaxed expression on his face.

It has been 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

Li Shiyao couldn't help but think of that sentence from the beginning - don't bully the young and poor.

He Shen made his fortune by stepping on others step by step. With such mental means, he is not wronged now.

It's just that Li Shiyao never thought of it, even if he was in prison, he never thought of vomiting Eleventh Brother and Eighth Prince, but now he doesn't know who is behind the scenes to put him and Sun Shiyi to death.

Presumably the emperor knew that there were people behind them, and not putting them to death was just to save face for his son.

Now it is the eighth and eleventh brothers who are shameless. The emperor gave them face, but they ignored it. Now they are trying to die.

In the early years, the relationship between the eighth elder brother and the eleventh elder brother was pretty good. At that time, the fifth elder brother was very powerful. How could there be a fifteenth elder brother who appeared now?Brothers who have a relationship with each other can only barely compete with the fifth elder brother by joining forces. The eighth elder brother and the fifteenth elder brother are just seeking skins from tigers.

Li Shiyao, who was disheartened and knew that his time was short, told the events of that year in detail.

Starting from the ledger, starting from the bribery in the court, and extending step by step, how did the princes get money from the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, how to eliminate disasters after taking people's money, how to control scholars, how to let them out be a scapegoat...

All kinds of things, one by one, it is dawn before I know it.

Fukang'an received the news in the middle of the night. When he found out that Sun Shiyi was gone, the news had already been delivered to the palace. It was just that the emperor was resting, so no one would disturb him. When the sea is stormy.

After Li Shiyao finished speaking, the time was almost up, and the hands of the officials who made the statement were sore.

"Lord Li, is this the cause and effect?" He Shen asked, then looked at the recorder, Li Shiyao nodded, and then the recorder also nodded to He Shen, indicating that he had recorded everything.

Li Shiyao knew that he didn't have much time left, so the servants below brought the confession to Li Shiyao for imposition. Li Shiyao sighed a long time, "That's all... that's all..."

That's it.

I can't pursue so much anymore, everything has come to an end, what else can't I admit?

He tapped the box with his thumb, and pressed hard on the densely written paper, "After all, you guys won."

He Shen looked at the red spot on Li Shiyao's thumb and didn't speak. Wang Jie was also very silent. When Fu Kang'an came over, the incident had already happened, and he was just watching from the beginning to the end.

After Li Shiyao finished the painting, he found another kitchen and put him in prison.

The people below handed over the pledged confession to Wang Jie. Wang Jie looked at it coldly, and then handed it to He Shen: "Master He and Master Fu also take a look."

He Shen took it over, looking at it, he felt that the operation mode was very familiar, and he knew it when Li Shiyao said it.

He knew that Wang Jie meant something, but he didn't take it seriously. He just glanced at it and handed it to Fu Kang'an. He said with a smile, "I understand it pretty well. Master Fu, let's take a look."

Fukang'an didn't know that these two people had something to say?

He just glanced at it casually, then sneered, without saying a word, he handed the confession back, and said: "Since the truth has been revealed, let's go to the palace and return to the emperor today."

I just don't know what will happen when I enter the palace.

Seeing that the time was getting late, the three of them had been busy all night, and their eye sockets were a little blue after the whole night. Because He's mansion was relatively close to the Ministry of Punishment, He Shen invited the two of them to his mansion for a meal. Breakfast, after all, Fukang'an is now a mansion with no one in it. Although Wang Jie was given a marriage, he was not married after all. There is a capable hostess in Heshen's mansion who always looks after him, and there is always something to eat when he goes back .

The three of them came together early in the morning, and He Shen brought two of them, which Feng Shuangzhi really didn't expect.

She saw He Shen went out last night, and only heard from Liu Quan'er that he had gone to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. She knew that something must have happened on the other side of the case, but she didn't expect He Shen to bring someone back for breakfast.Fortunately, she had prepared it long ago, so she let others add weight, and went to the front hall to arrange it together, but she didn't show up, and only let the servant girl bring the words.

He Shen sat down, and a servant girl followed the order to bring water for the masters to wash their hands, and then served the morning food, which was some delicate fruit porridge. Some relax.

Although Wang Jie adhered to the habit of eating and sleeping without talking, he suddenly thought of a question and couldn't vomit: "Why did Mr. He suddenly come to find Wang? If he didn't find it last night, I'm afraid that Li Shiyao would also be killed." Killed."

I was busy before, so I didn't notice this problem. Now that He Shen mentioned it, he remembered this, so he said: "I still owe this account book."

He took out the things in his sleeves and put them on the table. Because it was handwritten by Feng Shuangzhi, it looked different from the original Wang Jie's. Very new.

Because it was burnt a little bit, the beautiful but slightly messy handwriting inside was exposed, which was copied by Feng Shuangzhi in a hurry at that time, so the handwriting was quite scribbled.

Wang Jie was stunned when he saw it: "This is...the account book?"

Fukang'an was also looking for this thing at the beginning, but since the incident of playing Jiangnan was discovered, this ledger has actually become meaningless.

He Shen drank a bowl of soup, put the bowl down again, then turned to a page and pointed at it. On it, Li Shiyao's name was also there, and the money was given to a certain prince in the palace, marking eight and eleven .

Fukang'an said: "Isn't this account book already in the hands of the emperor? Why do you still have it here, my lord?"

When Wang Jie heard this, his expression turned pale.

He Shen glanced at Wang Jie with a half-smile, but said: "My wife must have transcribed it? Yesterday when she was packing up in the study, she accidentally knocked over the candlestick. That's why I saw the words on it by accident. I didn’t know it before.”

After all, the Jiangnan official affairs had come to an end after He Shen came back, and now it can be said that it has nothing to do with this account book at all.

But the things involved in this account book are too complicated after all. He Shen only saw that one sentence - the bribes of Li Shiyao and Sun Shiyi, and finally it was in the hands of Eleventh Brother and Eighth Prince, so he knew that these people were related.

Since there is a relationship, it must not only be related to Jiangnan's affairs. It is false to say that there is no contact on weekdays.

Now that He Shen said it, Fukang'an and Wang Jie knew that it was purely accidental that He Shen discovered what happened this time.

But this accident is also mixed with inevitability, as long as the account book is in the hands of He Shen, there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed.

Now everything is clear, even if Wang Jie doesn't like He Shen very much, he can't deny that he is really decisive in this matter.

If He Shen found out the clues in the ledger, and dragged on for a while, Li Shiyao might have been murdered as well.

Fukang'an didn't think too much about it anymore, and he didn't know the complexity in Wang Jie's mind now, so he just said: "There may not be any doubts about this matter. How did the wine and vegetables come in, and what did they pass through?" If the method comes in, we must investigate clearly, otherwise there is insufficient evidence."

"That's true, but the case about Li Shiyao and Sun Shiyi's corruption is already half closed."

He Shen was finally full, and the sky was already bright.

Liu Quan'er came in from the outside, and He Shen asked as soon as he saw him, "Have you used it at Madam's place?"

Liu Quan'er said: "Everything is fine with Madam, but let the slave take care of you, saying that you have a headache after staying up late, and I have to cook you something to soothe your nerves when you are done with your work."

He Shen suffers from headaches, which he contracted in his early years, and he doesn't know how long it has been.Using his brain a lot, and often staying up late, he himself has almost forgotten all these years, but Feng Shuangzhi still remembers it.A smile could not help but hang on his lips, He Shen said: "Let her rest assured, I will enter the palace in a while, you go and prepare the carriage."

Not long after eating the porridge in the morning, the summons from the palace came, asking three people to enter the palace.

He Shen and the others looked at each other and went together.

Qianlong got up this morning and heard about Li Shiyao's affairs. Seeing that he was in better health, he was so angry that his old illness relapsed.

He summoned He Shen and the others, and Wang Jie went up directly to hand over Li Shiyao's statement. Qianlong saw it, but he didn't speak for a long time, and it took a long time before he asked them to leave.

Qianlong also seemed disheartened and didn't want to say anything.

He Shen and the others withdrew, but Qianlong grabbed the confession and slapped the table hard, "Okay, okay, okay! What a bunch of scoundrels!"

He braced himself up and called out, "Wu Shulai!"

Wu Shulai quickly came in from the inside, "Long Live Lord, what's wrong?"

Qianlong's body trembled, and he could hardly sit still. He waited for Wu Shu to come to support his body. At this time, Kangxi stretched out his trembling hands, and said, "Go, go, go and tie me up, eighth and eleventh." Come on! Let me take a good look at these two rebellious sons, I have painstakingly protected them, but they want to do such dirty things behind their backs! Go! Bind them to me!"

The emperor is angry, how terrible is it?

Where did Wu Shu dare to disobey, he quickly took orders to tell the guards below, and as soon as he left the palace, he saw Yongyan who came to pay his respects.

Seeing his flustered face, Yong Yan felt strange: "Boss Wu, what is this?"

Wu Shulai couldn't tell, he just said that he came with the adults, saying that Li Shiyao made a confession and Sun Shiyi was gone. Qianlong was furious after reading the confession, and now he is angry, and asked Yongyan not to go in for a while.

Going in at this time is to start the fire by yourself, and you can't be the emperor's punching bag.

After hearing this, Yongyan thanked Wu Shulai, then turned around and left slowly.

Xiaoluzi followed behind him without saying a word.

Yong Yan watched He Shen and the three of them pass by the gate of the palace from a distance, and laughed: "In this world, who can escape my plot?"

Xiaoluzi didn't respond, but lowered his head even lower.

When the master said such things, he usually talked to himself, and he would not say such things on weekdays.

"As soon as the matter between the starling and the eleventh brother is over, take care of those people, and don't show any signs." Yong Yan ordered lightly.

Only then did Xiao Luzi respond, "I remember it."

The reason is that Yong Yan is ruthless on the one hand, and jealousy on the other.

But in the end, it all came down to the full force.

The emperor asked eighth elder brother and eleventh elder brother to question, dragged their sick bodies and scolded them, but he didn't expect these two people to say that they were wronged and never poisoned Li Shiyao and Sun Shiyi. Seeing that the person who delivered the meal last night led out a group of them, interlocking like a chain, and finally fell on the eighth and eleventh brothers.

The eighth and eleventh brothers did not expect such a problem to suddenly arise, no matter how they justify it, the evidence is already conclusive.

Qianlong was so angry that he vomited blood again, threw the inkstone on the case towards their heads, and cursed: "Get out, get out! Get out of here! I saw your names on the account book, and I miss you. It is my prince and the master of the Qing Dynasty, so I have covered you and never dealt with it! Now that the case of Li Shiyao and Sun Shiyi has come to light, they were supposed to be dealt with directly. How foolish you are to intervene in the middle! How dare you argue, you guys Looking for my son, I will not give it to you! Get out!"

"Huang Ama, my servant is innocent! Huang Ama——"

"Wu Shulai, throw these two people out! Lock them up in the clan mansion! Get lost—"

Qianlong was so angry that he only hated his two sons for not repenting.

It's not that he didn't plan in secret. Qianlong had so many sons, but now there are only a few left, and those are the only ones who stay with him all the year round.He is an emperor, but he is also a father. Sometimes it is inevitable that he favors his son, so he sent someone to quietly order Sun Shiyi and Li Shiyao to end their own affairs and act like they committed suicide in fear of crime. Impatient, if Qianlong wants to get rid of these two people, if Qianlong does it himself, he will not know how cruel his two sons are - it is one thing for Qianlong to do it by himself, but another thing for others.

Today's Qianlong is really tired.

Having been the emperor for more than forty years, he was so exhausted mentally and mentally.

Qianlong fell ill again, and the fifteenth elder brother continued to supervise the country.

He Shen and the others who came out of the palace again just laughed when they heard that the emperor had summoned the two elder brothers, saying that the two elder brothers committed suicide by themselves.

The three of them went back to their homes, but on the way Heshen didn't know why he remembered the sentence that Fukang'an said before, and always felt a little mysterious.This time, Fu Kang'an came halfway, and he and Wang Jie were in charge of everything, and Fu Kang'an didn't say much after entering the palace.

After all, he is not in charge of this case, so it is normal for him not to say too much.

He Shen suspected that he was thinking too much, but as soon as the thought popped up, he couldn't hold it back. He went back to the mansion, and finally went to Feng Shuangzhi's room again, and leaned on the couch when he heard her teaching Tuanzi to speak. up, arms behind head and think.

Feng Shuangzhi coaxed Tuanzi to sleep, and when he turned around to look at him, he felt that there was something wrong with his expression.

"What's the matter? Isn't the matter settled..." Seeing that he looked a little tired, she sat down and raised her hand to help him rub his temples.

He Shen said what Fukang'an said before, and then he said this case again. When he was talking, he was sorting out, and when he reached a certain place, he suddenly stopped.

Feng Shuangzhi felt strange: "What's wrong?"

"... want something bad..."

No, things can't be broken, I'm afraid he and Shen will become someone else's knife.

He sat up at once, bent one leg and put it on the couch, only raised that hand, and pressed the center of his brow, with a gloomy expression.

He Shen started to have a headache again, and smiled wryly: "Too bad, your husband feels that he is going to be played by a kid."

"...Just tell me." Feng Shuangzhi was puzzled.

He Shen shook his head and said, "We still have to find out about this matter before we can talk about it."

He Shen was very busy. He only lay down for a while, then went out again, explained many things to Liu Quan'er, and used some relationship networks in the house. In the middle of the night, he wanted to go to see Li Shiyao quietly, but before he got there, he went Someone stopped him suddenly—it turned out to be Wang Jie.

Wang Jie was standing in the corner. He was only here to adjust the files. Seeing He Shen approaching at this time, he quickly grabbed him and hid him beside him.

The yamen servants outside had already explained everything. Others didn’t know that the two officers came in. Someone inside the prison threw a dagger at Li Shiyao, giving him a decent way to die.

Li Shiyao looked at that person, and suddenly burst out laughing, "So that's how it is, that's how it is—long live my emperor, long live my emperor, long live my emperor, hahaha, my emperor——"

Long live my emperor long live long live long live.

—— Li Shiyao wiped his neck and hugged his family members, but at this moment there is no need to implicate the nine clans.

Wang Jie and He Shen hid in the dark, and watched a man with a stooped back come out from the inside, and quickly left the mansion.

It was only at this time that He Shen dared to speak. Looking at the back, he felt familiar, and he had vaguely guessed who it was.

"Is Wu Shu coming?" He Shen said it right away.

Wang Jie came out, holding the file that will be used for handling the case in the near future, and said, "Who else is it if it's not him? Said it was the emperor's oral order."

Li Shiyao is going to die after all, after all he knows too much, although the princes entered the clan mansion, but one is their own bad deeds, and the other is to blame Li Shiyao for easily revealing the princes' corruption and perverting the law.

In short, Li Shiyao couldn't stay.

He Shen only sighed for a long time: "Now that Li Shiyao is dead, there is no proof of death."

Wang Jie was surprised, originally wanted to ask, but he and He Shen didn't have a good relationship after all, so he held back at this time.

He Shen returned to the mansion again, and the first thing he said to Feng Shuangzhi was: "There is no proof of death, I'm afraid I'm right."

That person is Wu Shulai. It's good, but Wu Shulai is not only the emperor's man, but now it is obvious that the fifteenth elder brother is the heir. I am afraid that he has secretly established the heir. Now it is normal for Wu Shulai to turn around.

The emperor wanted to kill Li Shiyao, so why did he only bring an oral order?It may not be necessary to be more grandiose, not to mention that Li Shiyao deserves to die. This is obviously to cover up something, for fear that Li Shiyao will say something again, or that he will see the emperor again.

Fukang'an said that he would check with the person who poisoned him, but the person who poisoned them said that it was the eighth elder brother and the eleventh elder brother, but the eleventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother said in front of the emperor that they were not them.What would happen if the poisoner framed the two princes?

At this time, He Shen was only suspicious, but not long after, when he heard that the people who identified Eleventh Brother and Eighth Prince were gone that day, he was finally sure—Yongyan was behind it. , He regarded Wang Jie, He Shen, and Fukang'an as murderous knives.

The emperor may not have wanted to defend Li Shiyao and Sun Shiyi at the beginning, and he also defended his son by the way, but the sudden time of poisoning and assassination made the only surviving Li Shiyao disheartened, and he bit out the eighth Elder Brother and Eleventh Brother revealed the whole plan.So the emperor's plan failed completely. He thought that his two sons were not up to the mark. Even if he wanted to protect them at the beginning, now he was only full of disgust, so he directly threw them into the prison of the clan mansion.

As for who killed Li Shiyao, it doesn't matter whether Wu Shulai passed on the will or not.

He Shen is just a courtier, and it is already great to be able to figure out these things after the fact.

When he recalled the handling of this case, he even had a vague feeling of thrilling.

Qianlong, an old man's scheming, his son's scheming, the two fathers and sons are scheming one after the other, one thinks the other will die soon, and they have to pretend to be submissive in front of them. There is really an indescribable subtle feeling.

Looking back, I looked for an opportunity to tell Feng Shuangzhi about this, but she just curled up in his arms and said, "If the emperor or elder brother Shiwu finds out, you have calculated so many things, you must kill your head!" Only then can you feel at ease."

Those at the top like the feeling of being in control of everything, and those at the bottom are better off knowing nothing.

He Shen nodded: "That's right, I'll just pretend I don't know anything."

The more you know, the faster you will die, but many things cannot be controlled by knowing or not.

A courtier like He Shen is afraid to be feared.

Qianlong just wanted to protect the calf for a while, but he let the three ministers who he regarded as his thighs completely destroy him, and he was still stuck in his heart.
