The girl is not good in this life

Wei Zhichao's case has a new situation.

It's unexpected, but it doesn't seem that it should be surprising.

Back then when Wei Zhichao was transferred to Qinghe County by such a coincidence, he visited the door several times, made a small fugitive, and begged Wei Yanming to help him get out of Kuaiji. All of that was the Zheng family's idea.

And to be more careful, it was Zheng Rusong's idea.

"Wei Zhichao confessed all these things on his own after being interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment. The minister... the minister followed the orders of the officials. He was interrogated in person, and he was indeed sentenced. It must have been tortured into a trick. We found out the evidence with him one by one."

The more Gao Youmin spoke later, the lower his voice became, and at the end it was almost inaudible: "Counting letters, and the tokens that the Duke of the State gave him back then..."

Emperor Jinhe sat on the throne with a calm expression, unable to distinguish between emotions and anger.

The two brothers Zhao Yu and Zhao Xing stood at the side, looking at each other.

The more this is the case, the more terrifying it is.

Before the storm comes, it is always extraordinarily quiet.

will be misunderstood.

The current situation is generally the same.

Sure enough, after a long silence, Emperor Jin He waved his long arm, and the stack of notebooks on his left fell to the ground.

The floor tiles next to the imperial case were in a mess.

There was also the warm tea that had already been placed. The small celadon cup was shattered badly, and the tea spilled out, which wet many memorabilia.

Li Fu just squatted down hurriedly, and rescued those wet playbooks with his hands.

Since Gao Youmin reported back that he wanted to bring Wei Zhichao's case back to the imperial court, there were no other young eunuchs in the Palace of Funing to serve him, and only Li Fu was left alone.

Jin Hedi raised his eyes coldly: "Have you checked one by one?"

Gao Youmin didn't dare to raise her head, and said in a muffled voice: "At the earliest, 13 years ago, the Duke spent a lot of money to bribe Wei Zhichao, who had just become the governor of Kuaiji County. At that time, Wei Zhichao didn't have any errands to do.

Originally, one would not be rewarded for doing nothing, but Wei Zhichao..."

"How much did he give?"

Jin Hedi interrupted Gao Youmin.

Gao Youmin pursed the corners of his lower lips: "According to Wei Zhichao's account, 1 taels of silver will be discounted. The ones given are paved farms, as well as famous calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, etc., all of which can be discounted in silver at that time." Ten thousand taels.

At present, it can be converted into more than 4 taels of silver. "

Jin Hedi suddenly laughed.

He was indeed smiling, his eyes were full of coldness: "1 taels of silver, you betrayed the court and betrayed me, well, Wei Zhichao is doing well! These people use such methods to sell officials and nobles, corrupt and bribe, cholera My court, cholera my world!"

All things, up to now, can be connected together.

The first correspondence between the Zheng family and Nanyuan Yuwen Shichang was 15 years ago.

Judging from the letter, it is just those things that are greedy for money.

But these years, buying and releasing news, about the court, about the army, the Zheng family is no different from collaborating with the enemy!

At that time, Emperor Jinhe had planned to imprison the whole Zheng family and thoroughly investigate what the Zheng family had done behind the scenes in the past 20 years.

It was Empress Zheng who interceded, and he weighed it over and over again, and gave the empress this face.

The other case was also unwilling to involve so many people behind it.

Among the people standing in the Tai Chi Hall, even Emperor Jinhe himself could not tell for sure which ones had contacts with the Zheng family and which ones had done things for the Zheng family.

He offered to help, but was deceived and used by the Zheng family for the sake of attachment.

At that time, the Nanyuan Rebellion had just subsided, and the letters brought back by Jiang Yuanzhan caused waves in the court, causing another turmoil.

If the Zheng family is pursued, it will be another storm.

So Emperor Jinhe forbears for the time being.

until today--

"That's why the Zheng family communicated with Nanyuan 15 years ago, and 13 years ago, they spent a lot of money to buy off the governor of the Kuaiji Wei family—"

Zhao Yu had already come to his senses, his face was livid, he turned around, and looked at Emperor Jinhe: "Father, it seems that the Zheng family has indeed colluded with the enemy and treasoned since 15 years ago, betrayed you, and betrayed you." Daye!"

Emperor Jinhe knew it well.

Regarding the Zheng family, he has always had a guess in his heart.

So it was neither shock nor outrage.

Even in other matters - when Dalang took Erlang to live in Xingyang for a short time, Dalang's hand was injured at that time, maybe the Zheng family didn't just want to hurt Dalang's hand from the beginning?

How courageous is Zheng Xuanzhi, dare to snipe at Erlang behind his back?

How daring are the young gentlemen of the Zheng family, taking advantage of the chaos to hurt Da Lang with a dagger?
And since Saburo returned to Beijing when he was ten years old, the Zheng family has planned a lot for Saburo.

One pile, one piece.

When he didn't connect these things together before, he even really agreed to the queen and married Jiang Wan to Saburo.

Only when he thinks of Empress Zheng, Jin Hedi will really grit his teeth.

But Zhao Yu and Zhao Xing didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.

Of course Gao Youmin didn't know either.

"Father..."

"Gao Qing, continue talking, what else is there?"

"Actually, that's about it."

Gao Youmin is not vague, but the most important thing has been reported, and the rest are detailed in the closing document.

But such an answer is inappropriate, he thought for a while, and then said: "Behind Wei Zhichao is the Zheng family of Xingyang. Go to Zheng's house.

They have never done murder and robbery, it's all for money.

Based on Wei Zhichao's account, I roughly calculated that in the past 13 years, he had raised more than 60 taels of wealth for the Zheng family, not including some celebrity calligraphy and paintings, handed down treasures, and some filial piety. And so on, if you count all of those... I'm afraid it's not less than a million taels. "

No wonder.

The Zheng family has never been short of money.

Everyone knows this.

For more than ten or 20 years, they have been corrupt and perverted the law, amassing wealth wantonly, and all they have collected are people's fat and people's anointing, and then used a small amount of the money to help the poor, open charitable halls, and set up porridge sheds.

In the event of a catastrophe in every prefecture in the world, the Zheng family's relief food will arrive even earlier than the imperial court.

Every time, no one knows that it is the merit of the Zheng family.

Naturally, the imperial court will offer rewards again.

And so on and on -

"It's abominable!"

Zhao Xing clenched his back molars: "No wonder the Zheng family spent so much for so many years. My son used to think that it was a gift from the father and emperor, and that the mother would reward the Zheng family, but it turned out that it was not, it was They are greedy for money outside!
Royal father, in just 13 years, he collected millions of taels of silver, what an astonishing amount!

I'm afraid that the fraud case in Kuaiji this time has happened in other state capitals, most of which were written by the Zheng family!And Wei Zhichao was definitely not the only one that the Zheng family bribed in the court! "

That's for sure.

Otherwise, why would Yuwen Shichang cooperate with the Zheng family?

And the Zheng family can be so proud and show off their might with just one Wei Zhichao?
Impossible.

Not to mention the magistrate of Waifu, I am afraid that even Shengjing, there are people from Zheng Rusong in this Tai Chi hall!

Emperor Jin He's back suddenly turned cold: "Besides these, did Wei Zhichao say that Zheng Rusong's subordinates bribed, who else?"

Gao Youmin shook his head: "He said he didn't know. All these years, he only worked on behalf of the Duke of Zheng's family. He would notify him individually of what the Duke of the country wanted to do. To clear up the relationship and take care of everything, the Zheng family would not show up. They all depended on him If something happened to me, the Zheng family would find a way to help make up for it, but they always acted behind the scenes and never made trouble in front of others.

He didn't dare to ask who else was under that man.

But... but..."

Emperor Jinhe sneered again: "What? Now that things are going on, what else is worth your hesitating to cover up like this?"

Gao Youmin has no confidence in her heart.

According to common sense, he has been in prison for half his life, and he knows the way of this most clearly.

The crimes committed by the Zheng family were not considered heavy punishments by the Yi clan, and they should be permanently imprisoned.

But it was the Zheng family, the Zheng family in Xingyang, so he was not sure.

The sage was ill for more than half a year, and they, the foreign ministers, were completely ignorant of the news in the palace.

The wives who were ordered to enter the palace to pay their respects were also stopped by the imperial concubine, saying that it was the official intention and that the saint needed to rest.

No one has ever seen a saint.

And the imperial concubine is always respectful.

They can only think that the saint is really seriously ill.

After being ill for such a long time, I'm afraid that his body will not be able to make it. The saint did not show up at the wedding of the king of Shu before, and it was all handled by the noble concubine.

The government has loved and respected saints for more than 20 years. Who knows if they will be lenient for the sake of saints and show mercy to the Zheng family?

If even the Zheng family will not be held accountable, then the Third Highness who is loved by that dear saint...

Gao Youmin was silent for a long time.

Zhao Xing had doubts in his heart.

He frowned, and called Gao Shangshu in a deep voice: "You are hesitating, covering up in front of the imperial court, and dare not answer, is it related to Saburo?"

Gao Youmin looked at him sideways, unable to tell whether the eyes were grateful or what.

Emperor Jinhe clicked his tongue: "I retreated to the left and right, leaving only Dalang and Erlang, Gao Qing, who are you going to cover up for?"

"I dare not!"

Gao Youmin put her knees together, knelt down straight, kowtowed her head and hurriedly said she didn't dare.

Zhao Yucai took his words: "No matter who is involved, this case is not insignificant. Whatever Gao Shangshu finds out, he should report it truthfully.

You are the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, in charge of famous criminal affairs, and your father trusted you so much that you handed over Wei Zhichao to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial. Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion are not allowed to intervene, why don't you tell me? "

"It's just that Wei Zhi said to him that a few years ago, when the Third Highness was about twelve or thirteen years old, before the Kuaiji fraud case happened, the Duke of the Zheng family visited Kuaiji County in person, and no one found out. His whereabouts."

Gao Youmin kept his head down, and never dared to raise his eyes to look at Emperor Jinhe: "Because this matter is too involved, once it is discovered, it will punish the nine clans. It is the Duke..."

"What kind of prince, don't let me hear it again!"

Gao Youmin immediately changed his words: "Zheng Rusong should have guessed that Wei Zhichao would be afraid, so he went to Kuaiji County in person, threatened and lured him, and asked him to agree to arrange everything.

At that time, Zheng Rusong had said a word to him - when things were done in the future, he would definitely not treat him badly. "

What else can the Zheng family do?

But it's all about pushing Zhao Yi to be crown prince.

Ten years ago, Dalang and Erlang were supposed to be folded in Xingyang, but it was an accident. As long as the queen is there, it is not difficult for the Zheng family to escape unscathed.

At that time, Saburo will naturally become the only candidate for the crown prince.

After they failed to accomplish anything, they began to plan and plan in the court.

Insidious, vicious.

Emperor Jinhe never knew that Zheng Rusong was like this.

What made him even more curious was, where did Zheng Rusong's confidence come from?

Da Lang and Er Lang are also the queen's own flesh and blood, isn't he afraid that if any clues are revealed, the queen won't protect the Zheng family?
Although judging from the queen's later behavior, no matter what the Zheng family did, she would defend it.

But with two lives and two sons in the Zheng family's hands, Zheng Rusong didn't hesitate at all. How can this be unsuspecting?

It's just that Jin Hedi didn't bring it to the table.

Gao Youmin was still kneeling there.

He really wanted to ask how to deal with the Zheng family.

But he dared not.

As soon as Zhao Xing moved, he was held down by Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu even moved forward half a step to block Zhao Xing's body.

Zhao Xing tightened the corners of his lips, the entire lip line was completely flattened, and he looked sideways at him, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

Zhao Yu stared straight ahead, not looking at him at all.

He sighed, still wanting to speak.

Emperor Jinhe had already called Gao Youmin, and there was a sigh in that voice.

Gao Youmin knelt more and more straight: "The minister is here."

"Confiscation of the title, abolished as a commoner, and all the gifts of the Zheng family, including the gifts of the female family members, will be taken back. The Ministry of punishment will send an order to Xingyang, and they will be detained in the government on the spot. You will personally send people to Xingyang to escort Zheng Rusong and his son to Beijing. "

Emperor Jinhe squeezed his eyebrows: "Let Zheng Qingzhi take off that official uniform too. He is the eldest grandson of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Before his father and brother arrive in Beijing, he will be detained in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. There is no need for interrogation. Just shut him down.

As for how to draft the purpose, it is up to you. "

Gao Youmin suddenly raised his head and looked at the throne, his eyes were full of shock.

No re-examination, no interrogation of Zheng Rusong, and the deprivation of the entire Zheng family's entitlement first, and even Zheng Qingzhi, who has been an official in the court for several months and has never made a mistake, will be imprisoned.

The officials are determined to ask the crime.

Escorting Zheng Rusong and his son to Beijing to bring them to justice, whether to interrogate or not, is already just a formality.

The fate of the Zheng family will not be any better than that of the Han family.

It is certain that the building will collapse and the family will be destroyed.

But the Third Highness... how to formulate the will is left to him to decide, but there is no mention of the Third Highness.

Now he is a little more courageous: "Officials, ministers..."

"Da Lang, take Saburo out of the palace and bring him to Su Wang's mansion. Take care of him and restrain his feet, lest he get restless and make trouble in front of your mother again."

Emperor Jinhe didn't intend to listen to Gao Youmin's words, so he ordered directly: "There is also Zheng Shuangxue. I have never made the will to bestow marriage, but your mother's queen likes her. If you want to fulfill the last dignity of the Zheng family, since I have promised, you don't have to send her away." In custody.

But she can no longer live in Zheng Qingzhi's mansion——Erlang, your eldest brother is not yet married, and there are no female relatives in the mansion, you should work harder, lock her up in your house, find a random yard, let people watch her, and don't allow her to come and go. The couple don't need to pay attention to her, just don't tell her to go into the palace and talk nonsense in front of the queen.

After the Zheng family is finished, I have other arrangements for her and Saburo. "
