  Chapter 803 Save a life

   "This is just **** spouting."

Zhang Xuan fell to his knees with a thud, and tried his best to defend himself against Chu Nanzhi: "Queen, I am loyal to the imperial court, and even more respectful to Chang Lao and my mentor, why would you send someone to assassinate two great scholars? Empress Mingjian."

  In fact, Gu Lei already had a bad premonition in his heart.

  In the city of Langzhou, only Zhang Xuan, his favorite student, can do all these things so seamlessly.

  The Zhang family's influence in Langzhou is not shallow, but since Zhang Xuan became an official, he has continuously made friends with various wealthy families, and now his reputation is even more prosperous.

  I don't want to see the reform of the official system because I am worried that this time will cause turmoil in the empire, but he can't understand the thoughts of his disciples very clearly. He just wants to maintain his current status and let the major gentry always support him.

   It's just that he never thought that the most proud student in his life would kill him.

   What made him feel even more depressed was that this fellow deceived the top and bottom, only allowed the state officials to set fire to prevent the people from lighting lamps, and sent his own eldest wife to his hometown to give birth, but he harmed so many innocent people.

Old Shen's eyes were sullen, Gu Lei fixedly looked at Chu Nanzhi, and asked for instructions decisively: "Since Governor Lu has identified Mr. Chang Shi as the manipulator behind the scenes, this old man does not dare to protect him, so please ask the queen to send an order immediately." People went to Changshi's mansion and Zhang's house in Tuzhuo County to search for evidence of crimes, and to give justice to the innocent people who died."

  Gu Lei's voice fell, causing a burst of panic in the hall, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all at a loss.

Zhan He also discovered a lot of interesting things during his inspections in Puzhuo County these days, and then he said: "Queen, this time, I not only learned that Lord Changshi and the governor secretly sent the expecting lady and concubine to In Puzhuo County, many dignitaries also hid their wives in this county during the national mourning period."

At this point, his tone became very sincere: "Your official has not counted the number of pregnant women who hid during the national funeral, but I think the number is not small. I also ask the queen to show grace and give these official wives involved in the crime a grace. Let them give birth to babies."

  Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but sneer, and looked at the officials in the hall mockingly, seeing the terrified faces, she already guessed something in her heart.

   Presumably many of the officials among them sent their wives who were waiting to give birth to Puzhuo County, and couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing:

"You are really good parents and officials in Langzhou. Under the banner of being filial and mourning for the late emperor, you are dedicated to maintaining the old system, but it is only for your own selfish desires. If you continue to control the way of raising officials in Langzhou, how can the people of Langzhou Can I have a peaceful life again?"

   But Jan He's words also reminded her that if she wanted to thoroughly find out who was behind the scenes right now, she must give people a chance to confess and be lenient.

  Zhang Xuan and Lu Cheng are just governors and captains, but they dared to oppose the imperial court. She never believed that it was just the handwriting of the two of them.

Scanning the crowd with deep eyes, Chu Nanzhi said slowly: "It doesn't matter, you are ruthless, but you can't be unrighteous, I should have let you taste the separation of flesh and blood, but those unborn children are innocent. Starting today, all the officials in Langzhou who participated in the forced abortion of pregnant women can submit their own crimes and expose those who have made meritorious deeds, and the palace will report to His Majesty to reduce the crimes for you."

When the words fell, he immediately looked at the governor Tan Qing, and said in a deep voice: "The governor Lao Tan sent someone to **** all the adults back to the house. I also hope that you will reflect on how to state your crimes, and don't step on it before you think clearly. Out of the house."

   It was only at this time that Tan Qing suddenly realized why the queen had asked him to send his confidant team into the state capital in advance. It turned out that it was to monitor your colleagues.

  He nodded in convincing, waved his hand towards the door, and a steady stream of soldiers came in, and the small teams led officials of all sizes out of the state capital in sequence.

When the officials at all levels dispersed and only a few state officials remained, Chu Nanzhi looked away, looked at Lu Cheng again, and asked sharply: "Commander Lu, you have made meritorious deeds today, but you often assassinate him. Lao, Princess Qian, the crime of slaughtering six members of the Qian family is serious, and it is not an exaggeration to punish your nine clans. If you want to reduce the crime and find a way for your family members to survive, I advise you to tell the inside story you know as soon as possible. It's good to explain."

   "Yes, the last general is obsessed with ghosts. He shouldn't be instigated by Lord Chang Shi to commit countless crimes. He is willing to die."

  Lu Cheng replied disgruntled.

Glancing at Zhang Xuan, who was silent, he continued to speak carefully: "At the end of two months ago, just after he was transferred to the state government, he learned from Changshi that the queen wanted to reform the official system of Langzhou. I got a lot of benefits, so I agreed with Lord Chang Shi's method, and wanted to help him stop the queen, and led someone to assassinate Chang Lao.

Afterwards, there was a national mourning, just as the Queen’s premature birth was criticized by her mentor, Master Chang Shi used this to set off a storm of guarding the system. The six members of Qian’s family were slaughtered just to shake the mountain. As for Princess Qian’s death, although the last general himself Because, but at the end of the day, I really don't know the intention of Lord Changshi's move. "

   "It's not hard to guess."

Chu Nanzhi smiled lightly and looked at Zhang Xuan: "The governor of Lu is doing it for his own benefit, and Mr. Changshi is now under the governor. I am afraid that his ambition is no longer enough. Gu Lao's prestige is no longer enough for you to continue to be promoted. The bargaining chip, if you want to climb up, you have to use your strength towards Jingling City. At present, the empire is troubled by internal and external troubles. The assassination of Princess Qian is just to disrupt the court situation and cause the old party of the Tang family to clash with His Majesty again. To reap the benefits of being a fisherman, I don’t know if Master Changshi thinks what this palace said is true or not?”

   But even at this juncture, Zhang Xuan still remained silent.

Gu Lei was so angry that he even threw out the crutch in his hand: "You hypocrite with no conscience, thanks to the high hopes I have for you, I don't hesitate to say good words for you in front of Princess Yanjing to help you achieve today's achievements. If you still don't tell the truth, who ordered you?"

Seeing that he was still unwilling to speak, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "He is a loyal protector, but Mr. Changshi forgot one thing. The situation in Langzhou is no longer under your control. You don't have to worry about it." For the lives of wives, children, and children, there are people who know how to pity and cherish jade."

After finishing speaking, his eyes turned, and he ordered Li Sanmu and Zhan He in a solemn voice: "Inspector Li, Mr. Zhan, you two immediately take people to search the old house of the Zhang family in Changshi Mansion and Puzhuo County. How big a treasury would it take to hide 700,000 taels of silver."

  Zhang Xuan was so frightened that his legs gave way and his face turned pale.

  He never thought that the queen would arrest Lu Cheng without anyone noticing.

  Although Li Sanmu and Tingwei Shi of the state government tried their best to investigate several cases these days, he was fully sure that these cases would not show their flaws.

Who would have thought that she would use her mentor as a bait, she was extremely cunning, and caught herself by surprise. If she sent someone to search the house at this time, plus officials at all levels corrected her, she might not know that she would investigate How many things happen.

After contemplating for a long time, he cautiously raised his head, looked at Chu Nanzhi, and asked tremblingly: "The empress is extremely intelligent, she has seen everything, and the guilty minister admires it, but the person behind the scenes is related to the face of the royal family. Family prestige, if the offender speaks out, it will hurt the royal family, not to mention, it will also bring the whole family into a catastrophe, I also ask the queen to show mercy and save the offender's life, and the offender must know everything he said."
