C70 The drama of dog biting dog

Seeing how miserable Liu Jun was, many of the court officials who knew that Henan Province was suffering from a water calamity, were still loyal to him and tried to persuade him otherwise. They were moved to the point that their eyes turned red.

At this time, the marble temple's Shaoqing, Zhuang Duxing, walked over to Liu Jun's side, looked at Liu Jun, and bowed while saying to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, the Vice Minister Liu has always been meticulous in his conduct of affairs. Without solid evidence, it is impossible for him to report anything. This humble subject humbly requests the Emperor to read these reports and then punish the crime of the Vice Minister Liu being rash. "

The emperor had summoned Zhuang Duxing a few days ago, and because he was extremely satisfied with the efficiency of the marble temple, upon seeing that it was him who had come to plead, his expression eased a little.

Wu Nianen hurriedly ordered the young eunuch to bring over a chair for the emperor to sit down and rest.

"Give me the imperial report."

The Emperor could no longer refuse to deal with this matter in front of a hundred officials, so he suppressed his anger and ordered Wu Nianen to bring the imperial report.

These memorials were not written by a single person, but they were written about the severity of the disaster. Each word was shocking, and the local officials' inaction and inaction led to a tragic case that was shocking to behold.

The emperor's face grew paler and paler. Before he even finished reading it, he angrily threw the imperial report at Shen Di.

"Crown Prince! Why were these reports blocked? You took care of the affairs of the nation on my behalf. Could it be that you are only reporting the good news and not reporting the bad news? "

The Crown Prince was surprised and quickly kneeled down, "Your son has never seen these memorials before. It must be due to the carelessness of the people below …"

How could the emperor be willing to listen to his explanation? "Then I ask you, do you know about the Yellow River disaster in Henan or not?"

"Your son …" The Crown Prince didn't know how to answer this question. He hastily looked at the Queen, then at Shen Youhuang behind him.

The Queen at this time was no longer the Queen in charge of the six palaces. She had been grounded because she hurt the Consort Shu's embryo, as if she had been beaten into a cold palace.

However, the crown prince pleaded for the empress' for such a banquet and the empress was not present. 'Therefore, the emperor agreed to cancel the ban.

Now that the Consort Shu was in charge of the palace, the empress had always been cautious. She didn't dare to speak up on behalf of her son to anger the emperor.

Using the concubine as a shield, Shen Youhuang replied in a low voice, "I don't know."

The Crown Prince denied that he knew.

Feng Ningyan could not help but smile as she lowered her head, "It's a crime to not report this. If you do not know, you can push the blame to the people below, but you have to expose your own incompetence.

Shen Lingjue chuckled: "Calm down, let's see, what's even more exciting is happening right now!"

Seeing that the crown prince did not know what was going on, the Emperor was so angry that he did not know what to say. He threw the remaining stack of memorials that Wu Nianen had in his hands in front of the crown prince.

"I order you to immediately find out who obstructed the memorial and kill them all! Who was Henan Yin? He was immediately deposed and exiled to the north. He would never be able to return to the Central Plains! Assistant Minister of Revenue Liu Jun, immediately nominate five suitable and upright ministers for disaster relief. Tomorrow, take my orders and head to the Henan Province to take care of the disaster! "

The Crown Prince hurriedly picked up the imperial report and agreed, but he was extremely regretful.

Wang Yankai was a trusted aide who had finally settled himself in the Henan Prefecture. He had collected a lot of money for the crown prince in the first half of the year and had collected nearly a million taels of taxes …

But for the sake of his royal father not wanting to vent his anger on him, he had to be strong, and didn't dare to ask for mercy.

Upon hearing the emperor's decision, Liu Jun cried out emotionally, "This humble subject obeys! Long live our Emperor! "

Wen Jianzheng saw that something was amiss. With the punishment of He Nan Yin and the death of the person who intercepted the report, wouldn't that be the matter of clearing the crescent?

He couldn't help but feel guilty as he retreated step by step …

Just then, Situ Qing, the imperial guard, pushed Wen Jianzheng back in front of the Emperor.

Following that, Zhuang Duxing, who was begging for mercy on behalf of Liu Jun, also came forward and reported: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject has been ordered to investigate the death of Imperial Physician Li Yu, and great progress has been made."

Feng Ningyan never thought that Zhuang Duxing would have something to say at this time. Although she still did not know what was going to say, she had a feeling that Zhuang Duxing's investigation progress was going to make the fire escalate further.

She looked at Zhuang Duxing with interest, thinking, there are way too many surprises today.

"Zhuang Shaoqing, what do you have to say for yourself?"

the Emperor asked unhappily.

Zhuang Duxing said: "Li Yu has been bribed. The land, manors, bribes and stolen money that have been bought and taken away at home have all been investigated and collected. "A total of thirteen thousand six hundred silver taels, as the Tian Clan, as a witness."

Hearing that, Wen Jianzheng's face became as white as paper, his hands trembling violently, his legs could no longer stand.

Shen Lingjue coldly glanced at Wen Jianzheng and asked Feng Ningyan, "Do you know who the person who met Li Yu at night was?"

At this moment, he suddenly said this. Of course, he wasn't interrupting the conversation.

Feng Ningyan quietly swept a glance over the people around him, and suddenly discovered that Wen Jianzheng was sweating profusely, as if he had lost his mind.

She was surprised. "Who is it? Wen Jianzheng? "

Shen Lingjue smiled lightly.

Zhuang Duxing continued to speak, "Also, on the night of the murder, Li Yu and the mysterious man would meet at the Earth Temple in the outskirts of the capital, and after that, marble temple found a secret passage leading to the forest not far away, and in the secret passage, he discovered a jade pendant and a set of footprints."

It was only then that Feng Ningyan realized why she couldn't find the mysterious person after searching around the Earth Temple for a while. She had escaped through the tunnel.

Before he even finished speaking, Wen Jianzheng had already knelt on the ground, soft as a pile of mud.

"Your Majesty, this subject is guilty! This subject deserves to die! "Your Majesty, please spare my life …"

At this point, it was as if the truth no longer needed to be said.

But how could the Emperor be willing to believe that Wen Jianzheng, who was kneeling and begging for mercy, was actually tricked by the God Stick?

Zhuang Duxing immediately revealed the conclusion of the case. "The jade pendant and footprints belong to the Qintian prison's supervisor, Wen Xiulu. Li Yu was afraid that something would happen to him, so he told the Tian Clan that he was ordered by Wen Xiulu to frame Imperial Concubine Su for her false pregnancy. Tian Shi was once worried that Li Yu would be silenced after doing this, so he intentionally left this letter. "

At this time, the Consort Shu suddenly fainted. The palace maids and imperial doctors hastily rushed forward to treat him.

The emperor looked at Wen Jianzheng, his anger assaulting his heart. He got up and walked to the side of the crescent, fiercely patting the words on it and asked heartache:

"Wen Jianzheng, we trust you so much, what else do you have that you aren't satisfied with? Since you have the ability to communicate with the gods, why must you help the evil?! "

Wen Jianzheng knew that his death wasn't too far off, and his snot was flowing down his face as he cried, "Your Majesty … [This official knows my wrongs. I will never be able to repay the king for his kindness...] But your majesty, this subject was also threatened by the crown prince! The crown prince had his official bribe Li Yu and promised him the position of judge in the Taiyuan Hospital, allowing him to frame the Imperial Concubine Su … "

Brilliant!

Feng Ningyan really wanted to give Wen Jianzheng this "dog-eat-dog" drama, giving him a few silver coins as a reward to express his admiration.

"Bastard!" "Shut your mouth for me!"

The emperor was even more shocked as he looked at the crown prince.

How could he be the crown prince!?
