Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 430 Serial Double Kills
At noon the next day, the two major entertainment newspapers in the capital, "Tabolo" and "Tokyo Shinbo" began to sell the newspapers of the day. "Murder and Evil".

"Tabolo" also reported this incident on the second page. Although it was not as exaggerated as "Letter", the content was the same. Song Zhizhu forcibly seized people's wealth and set fire to the largest strange stone museum in Beijing.

But the murder is indeed true. It was an old case two years ago. Song Zhizhu forcibly occupied the house and killed the sufferer. The "Letter" connected the two incidents together.

The news spread like a gust of wind throughout the entire capital, from high-ranking officials to porters, from nobles to ordinary people, from the discussion in the Zhizheng Hall to the gossip of the laundry woman by the well. In just half a day, Song Xiang was completely ignorant.

In fact, there was another more eye-catching event at the fifth watch. Zhang Yaozuo failed in his attempt to create a good sign, but Fan Ning suppressed this incident and prevented Bao Zheng from leaking it. After all, the funeral of Concubine Zhang Gui was not over yet. If the incident caused a storm all over the city, it would offend the emperor's arbitrariness, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

It is enough to find an opportunity to give the emperor a hint about this matter, and let Zhao Zhen understand this matter. In many cases, it is not necessary to use a heavy hammer to beat the drum.

Song Xiang himself knew about this incident relatively late. Today, he reviewed the annual reports sent by several states, and stayed in the official room until the afternoon, when he finished reviewing all the reports, he put down his pen and went to the yard to relax. .

When he walked through a small door, he heard several officials on the other side of the door discussing something.

"This Song Zhizhu is too stupid, and even ran to the scene, he deserves to be caught straight!"

Song Xiang suddenly stopped in his tracks, "Song Zhizhu", isn't that the name of his nephew?
He walked through the small gate and saw three servants hiding here to rest, Song Xiang stared, "What were you talking about just now?"

The three servants almost jumped up in fright, turned around and ran instinctively, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Song Xiang couldn't catch up with them, so he had to curse a few words, and returned to the official room bitterly.

The more Song Xiang thought about it, the more wrong it became. Why did the three of them see that they wanted to run away? They didn't make any mistakes, but their faces changed in fright. There must be something wrong.

An intuition told him that something might have happened to his nephew Song Zhizhu.

Back in the official room, Song Xiang immediately called his tea boy and asked, "Did something happen outside, about the Song family or my nephew?"

He knew that this little tea boy likes to get together and listen to stories, he must know this kind of thing.

Of course the little tea boy knew what happened, but he followed Song Xiang to become a villain in the past few years. He didn't want to tell the master about this kind of thing by himself, so he kept pretending not to know.

But now he couldn't escape, the master's vicious eyes made him terrified, after a while, he lowered his head and said, "Didn't the master read today's newspaper?"

Song Xiang was taken aback, and he glanced at the three newspapers beside the table, before he had time to read them, he grabbed a newspaper, which happened to be "Tokyo Letter",
His eyes fell on the cowardly headline on the front page, "Murder and set fire, Song Xiang's nephew commits murder".

Song Xiang's eyes suddenly widened, and he was suddenly angry and anxious, slapped the newspaper on the table and shouted angrily: "It's just nonsense, blood spouts!"

This was indeed Song Xiang's problem, he didn't read the content, his first reaction was that the newspaper was spitting blood at people.

In history, Song Xiang twice fell into connivance with his children to do evil. The root cause is here. He was too protective of his weaknesses, so that he turned a blind eye to his nephews making troubles outside.

Of course, the name given by "The Letter" is too sensational and misleading. It seems that Song Xiang knew about it, but let it go. In fact, Song Xiang didn't know it at all. To tacitly allow his nephew to burn other people's houses, and it is still the property of the Fan family.

Song Xiang was so angry that he tore the newspaper to shreds, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into a corner. The little tea boy shivered in fright and retreated quietly.

After a long time, Song Xiang calmed down a little, and he wanted to know what happened?But the "Letter" had been torn to pieces by him, so he had to pick up the "Tabolo", and he found the relevant reports on the second page.

At this time, he became a little nervous. You must know that Qian Mingyi also supported the king of Langya, Zhao Wenyun. If the news was false, the "Tabloid" would never publish it. Now that the "Tabolo" also published this matter, it means that This incident is true, and his nephew Song Zhizhu really caused trouble.

Song Xiang became more and more calm. After he finished reading the whole article in "Tabolo", he slumped on the chair, feeling weak all of a sudden. He knew that he was finished this time.

The official who impeached Song Xiang was Li Weizhen, a doctor admonished by Zuo. After Fan Ning and Ding You resigned, and his concurrent incumbent Bao Zheng changed his post to Kaifeng Mansion, Li Weizhen finally got enough seniority. The result of Qi recommending Li Weizhen.

But impeaching Xiangguo is not that easy. In the imperial study, after reading the impeachment report, Zhao Zhen pondered for a long time and asked Han Qi, "This strange stone museum is opened by the Fan family. What does it have to do with Fan Zhongyan?"

Han Qi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, that strange stone museum has nothing to do with Fan Zhongyan, but has something to do with Fan Ning."

"What's the reason for this?"

"Your Majesty, this store was opened by Fan Ning before he took the imperial examination. It specializes in selling Tian Huangshi. He took [-]% of the shares, and Zhu Yuanfeng took [-]%. Abandoned his second uncle, who is now the chief shopkeeper of the Kistler Pavilion."

Zhao Zhen walked a few steps and asked again: "Is there any enmity between Song's nephew and Fan Ning?"

"No rancor?"

"Since there is no enmity, why did they choose the Kistler Pavilion?"

This is the key to the whole incident, even more critical than the sudden appearance of the Kaifeng mansion archer. The appearance of the Kaifeng mansion archer can also be explained as Fan Tiege reporting the crime after being threatened during the day, but it is difficult to explain why the nephew of the Song family targeted the Kistler Museum. There are so many shops in the capital. , Why did they just fancy the Kistler Pavilion?
Han Qi considered for a while and said, "Someone should be instigating them."

Zhao Zhen immediately understood that the Song family's nephew was being used by others, and he immediately lost interest, and he didn't want to know who was instigating it.

But being instigated by the nephews of the Song family does not mean that they are innocent. Zhao Zhen's heart is like a mirror, and Song Xiang has been ruined and can no longer be the prime minister. He nodded, "I know about this!"

Han Qi did not resign, he took out another memorial and put it on the imperial case, "Your Majesty, there is another matter involving the Prince of Langya, but it has not been made public. I will leave!"

Han Qi saluted and left.

Zhao Zhen watched the memorial and took it anyway.

But when he saw clearly the content of the memorial, Han Qi certainly would not lie to himself, it must be true, the content of the memorial made Zhao Zhen's pupils shrink into a line suddenly, and then he was furious in his heart.

It is not impossible to do auspicious signs, heavenly signs, and auspicious signs, but it must be done with your own consent. It is the will of God and can only be decided by the emperor. What do you want to do, Zhang Yaozuo?
I had already endured last year's Yubu Jinshu incident, so I didn't care about it anymore, and now another Langya Dangli was about to appear, Zhao Zhen's patience was about to explode.

He pondered for a long time, and said to the little eunuch at the door: "Master Xuan Dan came to see me!"

After a while, an old eunuch hurried into the imperial study, his name was Shan Wenzhong, he was the deputy head of the palace, and he was originally an eunuch in Zhang Guifei's palace.

He stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "Slave pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhen handed him the memorial, "You go to Grand Master Zhang's mansion now and give him this memorial!"

"Old slave obeys!"

Shan Wenzhong took the memorial and got up to go.

Zhao Zhen walked a few steps in the study with his hands behind his back, thinking of the stupid and arrogant Zhang Yaozuo, which made him extremely annoyed, but he suddenly thought of his beloved concubine who died of illness, and the anger in his heart couldn't come out, and he was in a state of confusion for a while .
