Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2235 Thunderbolt
Back at the mansion, Zhang Mingpu changed into a set of dry clothes under the service of the maid, drank a cup of tea, then locked himself in the study room, and ordered his servants to stand guard at the door, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

He grinds the ink by himself, puts the paperweight on top of the letter paper, picks up a small Langhao pen, ponders for a while, then sinks his wrist to write, and an impeachment memorial is finished in a while.

Putting down the brush, drying the ink stains, and reading it carefully, I feel that the words and sentences are very suitable, which not only reflects my loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, but also expresses Pei Xingjian and the navy's abuse of torture and forced confessions to death. described as extremely evil...

Carefully put this memorial into a big envelope, and put on a kit, just wait for the news of Wang Jingxun's death, and then send the trusted servants to send this memorial to Chang'an, and present it to his uncle and grandson Wu Ji, according to Changsun Wuji's wisdom, he will definitely be able to give the most perfect and tacit cooperation. Even if Fang Jun cannot be involved in it to the end, it can still hurt his foundation.

At the very least, Pei Xingjian, who is Fang Jun's right-hand man, must bear a serious crime, lose Zhen Tianlei, and even force a confession to death from the Taiyuan Wang family's children. The most outstanding child of the Hedong Pei family, his political future can basically be cut off from now on, and everyone will be wiped out. ...

As long as Wang Jingxun died, everything would be flawless.

The only thing to worry about is the group of people who attacked the naval warehouse. So far, no news has come...

However, Zhang Mingpu was not worried. Judging from the reactions of Pei Xingjian and the navy, the bidder must have succeeded, but the navy reacted too quickly, blocking all waterways overnight, and it rained heavily. It is also normal for someone to be stuck in a certain place and unable to send a message.

Calculating the time, it will take half an hour for the poison to enter the stomach, until the layer of wax wrapped on the outside gradually melts, and then the poison takes effect.

This is a kind of chronic poison, it will not explode immediately after being swallowed, otherwise Zhang Mingpu will be hard to get out, as long as he leaves the prison, no matter what method Wang Jingxun uses to die, everyone in the navy will be involved.Without solid evidence, no one can do anything to him.

Zhang Mingpu put away the memorial. This thing can only be sent out after the news of Wang Jingxun's death comes. Otherwise, he sent out this memorial before he died. How can he explain it?

The slightest flaw is not allowed to exist. Previously, it was because of carelessness that he failed to deal with Wang Jingxun in time, so he was caught by Pei Xingjian and became passive now. Therefore, Zhang Mingpu is very cautious now. Anyway, there is no difference. In this short period of time, everything must be handled perfectly.

He ordered someone to go to the kitchen, and Zhang Luo bought some side dishes, boiled a pot of rice wine, and after running around for a day, not only did his legs feel weak, but his stomach was empty like thunder. Zhang Mingpu sat alone behind the desk, opened the window, and looked at the The scene of heavy rain slanting on the flowers and trees in the garden is pleasant to drink by yourself.

However, before he drank half of the jug of wine, a servant came in a hurry and told him a piece of news that was like a thunderbolt from the sky hitting the top of his head...

"What did you say?"

Zhang Mingpu was holding a small wine glass in one hand, his eyes were like copper bells, and he looked at the servant in disbelief.

The servant didn't know what his master was doing this time, he just took it as a piece of news: "I just went to buy food, and I heard that Wang Jingxun, who was captured by the navy earlier, has been sent to the navy's prison. His house was confiscated, and many thunderstorms were dug out from under his couch..."

"Snapped!"

Zhang Mingpu was stunned, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered, but he didn't realize it.

It was as if a thunderbolt had entered the house and hit him on the head in the rainy day outside, and his whole brain was stunned...

How could there be thunder in Wang Jingxun's home? !

It's impossible!

The identity of the person who sneaked into the wharf of Huating Town is the most mysterious, and there is absolutely no possibility of contact with others except himself.Those people have not been able to be contacted now, even if they sneak back to Suzhou City privately, they must contact themselves, how could they hide Zhentianlei in Wang Jingxun's house?
Zhang Mingpu couldn't understand it.

Immediately, a greater crisis enveloped his whole body, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his liver and gallbladder were cold, because he thought of Wang Jingxun who was about to die of poison...

Before that, Wang Jingxun died in the navy prison, that is, the navy abused torture and forced a confession to death. Even if the navy had a hundred mouths, they would never be able to get rid of their guilt after death; but now, at Wang Jingxun’s home The stolen Zhentianlei was discovered, so Wang Jingxun's death was a suicide in fear of crime.

One is to extort a confession to death, and the other is to commit suicide in fear of crime, which are completely different in nature!

Especially after he had just visited Wang Jingxun in prison, he died immediately, and after his death, it was revealed that he had hidden the stolen Zhentianlei in his home, which would immediately involve him in it.

Zhang Mingpu's whole body trembled, his fear turned into boundless cold, soaking his whole body, and he lost his soul.

*****
The rain stopped a little.

The entire Wusong River was churning, and one after another navy ships sailed out of the military port quickly. Teams of soldiers on the deck and in the cabins wore helmets and armor, and were fully armed. They sailed down the Wusong River channel and entered the Yangtze River. Among them, the soldiers then divided into two groups, all the way upstream, heading straight to Suzhou City, all the way downstream to the sea, and rushed to Qiantang!

In the evening, the navy forcefully entered Suzhou, Haiyu Town, Wuxi, Qiantang and other cities, and seized all the properties of the Taiyuan Wang family in the entire Jiangnan area. The shops were closed and the warehouses were counted. All arrested and imprisoned!

For a while, the situation in Jiangnan was tense and public opinion was in an uproar.

……

Inside the Yamen of the Suzhou Mansion, Mu Yuanzuo looked at Su Dingfang who was wearing a helmet and armor in front of him with a headache, poured tea for him with a wry smile, and said, "Why is this, why is this?"

The navy dispatched half of the troops to seize all the properties of Taiyuan Wang's family in the south of the Yangtze River, calling it a thorough investigation of the theft of Zhentianlei. In fact, who can't see that this is revenge?
If you people from the Wang family dare to scheme against our navy, then the navy must call you back!

It is true that with the spirit of a navy master, he will naturally not suffer from being dumb, and it is only natural to find it face to face, but in this way, the whole Jiangnan is in chaos, and all the gentry in Jiangnan are in danger, lest they have to fight against the Taiyuan Wang family in the past. The communication was caught by the navy to talk about things, and it was heavily implicated.

As the governor of Suzhou, Mu Yuanzuo's first task is to stabilize the situation. However, after the navy's actions, the whole south of the Yangtze River became a mess. Fearing that the navy will be implicated, some people are silent, but they have already prepared the impeachment memorial to Chang'an...

If the navy is allowed to go on like this, regardless of the final outcome of the case, he, Mu Yuanzuo, cannot escape the crime of "ineffective handling".

Su Dingfang nodded slightly, and thanked Mu Yuanzuo for offering tea. He seemed polite, but his tone was cold and forceful: "As the captain of the Royal Navy, it is really a blessing to invite God. Thanks to Your Majesty's trust, I should speak cautiously." Be cautious and conscientious, and do all the things that His Majesty told you. Now you have forgotten the bottom line, acted unscrupulously, and regarded the king's law as nothing. You are really a traitor! If you don't ring the bell for those people, how can you wake up their lost minds? ?I also know that this matter will bring a lot of inconvenience to the governor, but this matter is related to Erlang's future, and I can't tolerate another mistake. The arrow is on the string, and I have to do it. I hope the governor will not be surprised."

Mu Yuanzuo shook his head and sighed, having nothing to say.

He has no right to control the Royal Navy, and now all the disadvantages in the situation are vaguely pointing to Fang Jun. As an ally, Fang Jun is also his biggest backer in the court. Quit the flags and drums, and let the Wang family go?
In the final analysis, he sent Shangguanyi to meet Pei Xingjian instead of himself personally handling the matter, which is already a little unreasonable...

Moreover, judging from the tone of Su Dingfang's application, this powerful figure who holds a heavy army in the south of the Yangtze River is also dissatisfied with himself.

Mu Yuanzuo was bitter in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He nodded repeatedly and said, "This is true. Someone is trying to frame Erlang, and that is your enemy! What about the Taiyuan Wang family? How dare you instigate the children in your family to commit crimes?" , the law cannot tolerate it!"

Now that Su Dingfang's act of marching troops into the city seems to be arrogant and domineering, but it actually occupies morality. Wang Jingxun's house was found to hide the shocking thunder, so he can't get rid of his involvement in this case, and all the properties of the Wang family in Taiyuan in the south of the Yangtze River will be seized. , is the proper meaning in the question, who knows whether Wang Jingxun's behavior is limited to himself, or is it connected with the family?
