Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

Huangfu Xuanji learned the news that Wei Zhen was dead when he returned home in the evening.

He was stunned in place for a long time, and when he came to his senses, he immediately summoned several offerings from the Fourth Sect to guard him. Then he looked hurriedly and hurried to his uncle Huichang's house.

Huangfu Xuanji discovered that his uncle Sun Jizong was also in a dazed state at this time.

"Why did he die? It was so easy?" Sun Jizong looked at Huangfu Xuanji in a daze: "What kind of person is Wei Zhen? He has been standing in the capital for hundreds of years and has a strong foundation, but he was tricked to death by that guy like this ”

Huangfu Xuanji also lamented: "I can only say that this son is worthy of being a general. He knows the art of war well and hits the target with one strike, without giving Wei Zhen any chance to counterattack. He is by no means a gentleman and does not stick to means. "

He then changed his voice and his eyes were solemn; "But this time, it may be an opportunity for you and me."

As soon as Sun Jizong heard what he meant, he knew that Huangfu Xuanji was targeting Wei Zhen's gang members.

Regarding this matter, Sun Jizong was also greatly moved.

In fact, he cares more about money. He was blackmailed by Li Xuan before. He has been living an extremely difficult life recently, and many of his servants have been laid off.

"Without Verity, these people are just a piece of loose sand, and will only be defeated by Li Xuan one by one."

Huangfu Xuanji gritted his teeth and said: "Even if it's just to make Li Xuan feel uncomfortable, we can't let him succeed. The case of Xia Guangwei, the salt patrol censor, is very involved. As far as I know, there are two ministers in the court, one of whom has already become an official. The honorable ministers—these people only need to keep half of them, and they will be of great help to the queen mother and emperor."

Uncle Sun Jizong was immediately moved and fell into deep thought.

But at this moment, an iron-faced scribe came over. This man has a majestic body, but he is dressed as a scribe, with an iron mask on his face, hiding his true face.

However, there was a sense of elegance in the way he walked and raised his hands and feet. He said calmly: "General Huangfu's idea is very good, but it is a pity that it is no longer possible to implement it."

Huangfu Xuanji and Sun Jizong looked over in astonishment.

"Why?" Huangfu asked in confusion: "Mr. Tie, there is no way those accomplices of Abbot Weizhen can sit still and wait for death. How can they be easily nailed to death in a case that happened twelve years ago?"

At this time, his tone of speaking to the Iron Masked Scribe was still very respectful.

Just because not long ago, Huangfu Xuanji was able to escape from prison due to the guidance of this uncle's think tank.

This iron-faced scribe is extremely wise and knows things like a god. He concluded that General Zhenshuo was a man of great honor, and asked him to take the initiative to show his kindness to General Liang Heng.

Liang Heng was really proud of the fact that he, the third son of the Prince of Hejian and the most distinguished nobleman in the world, had taken refuge in him, so he went to the palace to plead with the emperor in person.

This man was a trusted general of Emperor Jingtai, and was responsible for the defense of the entire capital at this time.

The emperor could not sell the face of Princess Hejian, but he had to compromise with his trusted general. Under extremely reluctant circumstances, he could only be forced to agree to her request.

Sun Jizong also looked puzzled and asked: "Mr. Tie, why is this?"

The iron-faced scribe smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't your uncle see the latest news from the secret guards? Li Xuan first visited the Ministry of War, then went to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and stayed there for a full half an hour."

He then shook his head: "You two, just wait, maybe the Queen Mother's decree will arrive soon."

Sure enough, not a moment after he sat down, a chamberlain came over to convey the Queen Mother Sun's oral instructions: "The Queen Mother means that Wei Zhen and others deserve death, and their sins are unpardonable! These Wang Zhen's legacy must be eradicated.

The Queen Mother ordered your uncle to assist the Ministry of Punishment in investigating the military ration case led by Wei Zhen in the past, and make the case known to the public in detail. "

Sun Jizong's expression moved slightly, and he had figured out the Queen Mother's thoughts, but then he still asked: "Besides that, what else did the Queen Mother say?"

"I didn't say anything." The chamberlain thought for a while: "But the Queen Mother lost her temper and broke a few of her favorite tea cups. She said that it was these evil villains and the scourge of the country who ordered the Emperor to Fall into enemy hands.

I also reprimanded you, uncle Guo, and said, "How can you get involved with these people?" Is it because they think their mother and son were not harmed enough by these people? Are you involved in this case? Let you go to the palace as soon as possible in the near future. "

When Sun Jizong was ashamed and frightened, Huangfu Xuanji looked at the iron-faced scribe with understanding: "Mr. Tie, before Li Xuan visited the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs, was it because of the recent lack of money in the imperial court?"

"Exactly." The iron-faced scribe chuckled. He raised his palm and pressed down: "Use force to break its core, then lure it with heavy profits, and use the power to suppress it. This is the method of the champion. At this time, Anyone who attempts to resist will be crushed to death. I have to admit that this time, he has indeed left no stone unturned."

He then shook his head: "Now we can only hope that it is not Yu Jie or Li Xuan who leads the case."

Huangfu Xuanji understood the meaning immediately. Even if Wei Zhen and his associates were completely destroyed, they would not be unable to make profits.

They can still get a huge amount of money by playing their part in this case.

But the premise is that the person presiding over the case is not Shaobao Yujie, who is upright and has no sand in his eyes; nor is he Li Xuan, who is equally noble and pure and has a grudge against them.

※※※※

When Li Xuan entered the palace, he met King Xiang Yu Zhanyi.

The fifth son of Renzong, the emperor and the emperor's 'uncle' was known as the wise king, and he had great reputation both inside and outside the court.

Not only did he "supervise the country" several times during the Ren and Xuan years, he was even expected to inherit the throne three times, but was firmly resigned by King Xiang.

After Emperor Zhengtong was captured, Empress Dowager Sun wanted to make King Xiang Yu Zhan as emperor. She even ordered people to fetch King Xiang's golden talisman in order to summon him into the palace. However, King Xiang wrote a letter asking to make the emperor's eldest son Yu Jianshen the crown prince. Please ask Yu Qiyu, King of Tan, to supervise the country and recruit brave and wise men to rescue the emperor.

Therefore, this Prince Xiang won the trust of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Not only did he break the rule that vassal kings of the Jin Dynasty must submit to the country, he also held the post of Da Zongzheng in the capital to this day.

Due to his achievements in spiritual practice, Yu Zhanzhen was only about forty years old, and his appearance was similar to that of the old Yu family. He had a large face and square ears, and his facial features were upright. He was dressed in court clothes, solemn and solemn, and had a very dignified appearance.

However, after meeting Li Xuan, Prince Xiang Yu Zhanyang was very friendly. The two of them chatted for a while, and Yu Zhanyang took the initiative to talk about the Xia Guangwei case: "If I hadn't been the champion this time, I would have been deceived by the traitor. , in the afternoon, a deputy general manager of my family named Qin Yongren was frightened and cried in front of me. Only then did I know that for a mere tens of thousands of taels of silver, this beast dared to use my name as Prince Xiang’s Mansion to fight with others. That Wei Zhen collusion actually turned me into an accomplice, causing a loyal minister like Xia Yushi and his family to die unjustly."

He then asked: "Marquis Champion, I wonder if Yushi Xia has any descendants alive? After knowing this, I regretted it deeply, felt guilty, and wanted to make some compensation to his descendants to atone for my past mistakes."

He has a sincere expression and sincere feelings.

If Li Xuan didn't know the case very well, he would almost be confused by it.

In fact, Prince Xiang's Mansion didn't do much in this case, it was just to stand up for Wei Zhen and spread the news secretly.

His Highness Prince Xiang's idea is that if things work out, then hundreds of thousands of taels will be in vain, and if they don't work out, it will be easy to get rid of them.

But this was so crucial that many officials involved in the case believed that Abbot Weizhen had the backing of Prince Xiang's Palace, so they unscrupulously participated in the matter and took action.

The hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that Prince Xiang's Mansion gets from Wei Zhen every year are even more stained with human blood.

"Why does Prince Xiang need to do this? As the saying goes, no one is perfect. Prince Xiang has lived in the deep courtyard of the palace for a long time. It is inevitable that there will be times when someone blocks his eyes and ears."

Li Xuan pretended to believe it, and reminded him solemnly: "But His Highness Prince Xiang should be more careful. When I investigated this case before, I found that Wei Zhen often talked to his colleagues about the incident before and after the Tumubao Incident. He is actually making money for you. Your Highness, you were the one in charge of the Xia Guangwei case in the past.

If this matter spreads, the emperor and the emperor will probably not believe it, but it will be harmful to your highness's reputation. After all, the granaries involved are all near Huailai, and they may remind people of Tumu Fort. "

The original calmness of King Xiang Yu Zhan suddenly disappeared without a trace, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

He was shocked and doubtful, thinking that Wei Zhen really dared to say that?

Looking at Li Xuan's sincere expression and his concern for him, it doesn't seem like he is fake.

But just when Yu Zhanzhen wanted to ask what happened, Li Xuan was led into the Gate of Supreme Harmony by the chamberlain who came to summon him.

In the Council Hall of Taihe Gate, there were not only several cabinet ministers gathered at this time, but also Yu Shiyue, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the newly appointed Minister of Dali Temple, Tongzhi Zuo Daoxing, the Governor of the Xiuyi Guard, the leader of the internal arrest eunuchs, and so on.

At this time, Wei Zhen, the censor of Zuo Qiandu, and Wei Bailong, the embroidered guard of Qianhu, were also here.

The two of them have returned from checking Abbot Weizhen's foreign residence, and UU is reading www.uｕkanshu． net Wei Zhen held up a list and read out excitedly: "——There are more than 3,500 hectares of land near the capital, 197 shops, 9 houses and villas, and 530,000 in cash. Two, 90,000 taels of gold, 2,740,000 taels of silver notes, and more than 3,400 pieces of various treasures and jewelry——"

Wei Zhen reported for about a moment before he stopped, and then he cupped his hands and said: "The specific value needs to be evaluated in detail. Kechen estimates that the total price of these assets will not be less than tens of millions. In addition, Wei Qian The people in the household are also interrogating Wei Zhen's heirs and stewards, trying to find out what they can find, and Wei Zhen must have something secret."

At this time, the ministers in the political hall all looked at each other with different expressions on their faces.

Xiao Ci, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was the most excited. His face was flushed: "Your Majesty! Since this case involves Kai Zhongfa, it is related to our Ministry of Revenue. Please let our Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Punishment jointly handle the case. The investigation of the case has come to light.”

Although Yu Jie had a calm face and a calm demeanor, there was an extremely thick murderous aura coming out of his body: "I also had doubts about the shortage of Xia Guangwei and Huailai's granary in the past. But at that time, I was ordered to clean up the matter. Border security and heavy affairs have given these people the opportunity to work together and deceive the court. Please investigate Xia Guangwei's case seriously, bring order to the chaos, and clear things up!"
