meet again

Golden Palace.

At the Great Court Meeting, Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment presented a memorial.The memorial lists numerous evil deeds committed by the Cao family, such as occupying ten thousand hectares of fertile land, robbing civilian women, secretly setting up lynchings, and neglecting human lives.

It can be said that there are too many books to describe.

Among them, the evil deeds committed by Cao Zhen in the past were also mentioned: "...Cao Zhen served as the governor of Jiangnan for many years, secretly colluded with salt merchants, and corrupted ink salt taxes. The annual amount was as high as 200 million taels. After taking office, Feng Yushi noticed this and secretly investigated and collected evidence, which was discovered by Cao Zhen."

"Cao Zhen first sent someone to secretly warn Feng Yushi that Feng Yushi refused to join forces with others, and wanted to impeach Cao Zhen with a memorial and send evidence of his crimes to the court. Cao Zhen took the lead and ordered the Yangzhou salt merchant Wei's family to frame Feng Yushi for corruption. On the way to Beijing, Yu Shi was assassinated and killed by a group of bandits from the forest, and this murder case was hurriedly closed. Cao Zhen’s evil deeds were also covered up.”

"Actually, that gang of green forest bandits was ordered by Cao Zhen to kill people and silence them."

"Here is Cao Zhen's confession, please read it to the emperor."

All the officials in the Jinluan Palace were shocked by this memorial, and they all looked at Liu Shangshu.

Liu Shangshu had been mentally prepared for a long time, with a calm expression and a calm expression, he presented the memorial and a thick stack of files.

Feng Shilang, who was standing behind the Minister of Rites, seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt from the sky, his face was stiff and his thoughts were chaotic.

How is this going?

Why did you suddenly reverse the case for Feng Lun?
correct!The Cao family secretly supported the King of Han's rebellion, and the emperor forbeared it for several months. This was to completely liquidate the Cao family.Pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and the evil deeds Cao Zhen has done will also be revealed...

No, looking at Liu Shangshu's attitude, it is clear that he has focused on severely investigating Cao Zhen, and deliberately overturned Feng Lun's case and cleared his reputation.

He is a servant of the Ministry of Rites, so he obviously doesn't have that much weight and face.Who is it because of?
Feng Shilang was so shocked that he even forgot the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and raised his head to stare at Emperor Qing'an in a daze.

Emperor Qing'an didn't care about Feng Shilang's crime of disrespect, and glanced at him.

"This old case is related to Feng Yushi's posthumous reputation." Emperor Qing'an said slowly: "Feng Shilang, I want to ask your opinion first."

All the ministers looked at Feng Shilang in unison.

Feng Shilang's talent is not outstanding, but he is first-class slick and good at flattering.Such veterans in the officialdom can be found everywhere.Because of this, Feng Shilang doesn't have much sense of presence on weekdays.

Today, suddenly all eyes are on.

Feng Shilang's stiff face twitched unnaturally, and he knelt down suddenly, weeping bitterly: "Your Majesty, Feng Lun is the youngest son of the old minister, and also the favorite and proudest son of the minister. When the incident happened, the grief was unbelievable and unbelievable."

"Feng Lun once wrote to the minister, in which he mentioned Cao Zhen many times. The Cao family was the mother's family of the first empress dowager, with deep roots and great influence. The minister wrote to him many times to persuade him not to continue the investigation. But he did not listen to the minister's advice. , has been secretly investigating the salt tax accounts..."

The painful memories that had been buried in the bottom of my heart for several years came clamorously, Feng Shilang's eyes were red, and he burst into tears: "Later, what I waited for was Feng Lun who was accused and escorted to Beijing, and what was waiting for him was the man who died under the knife of the gangster. Sad news. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, the minister was heartbroken, full of grievances and nowhere to complain. I had to swallow it with tears. I never thought that the truth would be revealed to the world."

"Feng Lun, who died on behalf of the minister, thank the emperor Long En."

While weeping, he kowtowed.

Feng Shilang is also a man of his age. It is really sad to see him crying like this in public without regard for his face.

Civil and military officials all showed sadness and sympathy.

Emperor Qing'an sighed: "Feng Shilang, please get up quickly. This old case was investigated and closed by Xue Lin. I was in charge of the Ministry of Punishment back then, but I couldn't intervene. Since we want to investigate thoroughly today, we must investigate to the end. I will never It will cause loyal officials to bear a bad name and die in vain."

Then he decreed: "Commander Lei, immediately lead the five hundred Jinyiwei to Xue's house, and bring Xue Lin into the Imperial Prison of Jinyiwei for interrogation."

Commander Lei surrendered his command.

Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice helped Feng Shilang who was crying bitterly, and comforted him in a low voice: "Feng Shilang, don't be too sad. Heaven's law is clear, and retribution is not good. This old case will be investigated soon. Feng Yushi can also wash away his bad reputation. It's Jiuquan with a smile on my face."

Elder Xu Ge answered in a deep voice: "What Liu Shangshu said is absolutely true. The emperor is wise and will definitely return Feng Yushi's innocence."

"Cao Zhen was greedy for ink and salt tax, and framed and killed the court officials. The crime is extremely heinous. I invite the emperor to punish Cao Zhen severely." Zheng Ge said impassionedly.

Yuan Hai said in a deep voice: "Xue Rin must have colluded with Cao Zhen secretly, so the case was closed in a hurry. Please punish Xue Rin severely, Your Majesty."

Of course, the first emperor would not shield Cao Zhen.The ones who are at fault must be Cao Zhen and Xue Lin.

The so-called wall is pushed down by people.

In the past, the Cao family was very powerful, and everyone respected them three points.Now that the new emperor is on the throne, he wants to liquidate the Cao family involved in the treason case.It is not uncommon for the ministers to second the proposal.

This day's court meeting ended with Feng Shilang being overwhelmed with grief and unconscious.

Emperor Qing'an ordered the imperial physician to administer acupuncture first aid to Feng Shilang.After Feng Shilang woke up, he burst into tears again. After going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to thank him, he staggered out of the palace.

Su Quan, who had been waiting outside the palace gate for half a day, was so anxious that he greeted him from a distance, and helped his master: "Master! What's wrong with you?"

He has served his master for decades, and he has never seen Feng Shilang in such a mess.

Feng Shilang's eyes were red and swollen, and his voice was hoarse: "Quick, go to Cui's house immediately, I'm going to see Shaojun!"

Su Quan was startled, but didn't dare to ask further questions, and immediately helped Feng Shilang get into the carriage.As soon as the whip sounded, the carriage galloped forward and went straight to Cui's house.

……

"Miss, Rouge is here from Hongzhuang Pavilion. Jixiang came in with a familiar brocade box.

Feng Shaojun nodded slightly.No need to tell, Jixiang has already quietly retreated.

Feng Shaojun opened the brocade box familiarly, took out the rouge box, opened it with a special technique, took out the note, and quickly read it.The usually calm and steady hands trembled, and the warm liquid quietly gushed out of the eye sockets.

After waiting for so many years, this day finally came!
For this moment, it is worth paying more.

Dad, if you know about the Underworld, you can feel relieved!

If there is a next life, Dad, you must have a good baby, have parents who love you, and live a lifetime in peace.

Feng Shaojun covered his face with his hands and wept silently.Tears overflowed from between the fingers and slowly dripped onto the skirt of the shirt.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door, and an auspicious voice sounded outside the door: "Miss, the master is here." Probably because Feng Shaojun didn't recognize who the "master" was, he hurriedly added: "It's Feng Shilang .”

Feng Shaojun took a deep breath, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, got up and opened the door: "Invite him into the yard."
