Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 148 Polarity Reversal
Mrs. He rushed back in a hurry, Sheng Shaoqing clapped his hands lightly, and said to the dark place, "How long do you want to watch the fun?"

Ji Wenxuan had no choice but to walk out from a flower bush in a rather embarrassing state, and said awkwardly while brushing off the fallen flowers on his robe, "Why didn't I know there was such a mess in Dali Temple?"

Sheng Shaoqing laughed and said, "If you don't make it serious, how can you help Mrs. He make up her mind?"

"It's you. What are you doing with us if you're not resting in the room at this time?"

Ji Wenxuan sniffled, "Madam, this old servant has always had a habit of going out for a walk at this time of night, and this is just a coincidence."

"Oh--"

"I happened to meet, I happened to get into the flowers, and I happened to hear it?"

Seeing Ji Wenxuan's expression that he didn't want to say anything but must be hiding something from her, Sheng Shaoqing smiled and said, "Then you go on."

In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. He placed more than a dozen letters in front of Sheng Shaoqing's eyes.

Before Sheng Shaoqing opened his mouth, Mrs. He pushed the letter in front of Sheng Shaoqing and said, "These are the correspondence between Wang Yuan and that person. I have already got it. I really didn't expect it to be Wang Yu!"

Sheng Shaoqing secretly gave Mrs. He a thumbs up, this is very efficient!

"However, who is this Wang Yu?"

Mrs. He explained, "This man is a relative of Wang Yuan's family, and he is also from the Wang family of Chenliu, but he is also a famous libertine!"

"I should have thought of it before! A few days ago, he suddenly came to hunt nearby, and was robbed by mountain bandits. He was stabbed several times, so he even came to the house to make a big fuss."

"At that time, I thought he was dissatisfied with the occurrence of such things under Wang Yuan's rule, so he came to find fault, but I didn't expect it."

Seeing Mrs. He's hesitant expression, Sheng Shaoqing continued, "Isn't this bandit related to Mr. Wang?"

Mrs. He looked around and no one dared to nod, "I never thought he would be so courageous! How dare he go against Mrs. Wang!"

Sheng Shaoqing smiled, "Just by looking at the plaque on your house, you can tell that Mr. Wang is quite courageous."

"Are all the letters between them here?"

Mrs. He nodded, "That's right, but I didn't look at it carefully, I just took these from a secret compartment in his study while he was out, I think only these were placed in that compartment, the top one One was the letter from when they first contacted, fearing that he would come back suddenly, I didn't open the latter one."

Sheng Shaoqing opened these letters one by one and read them one by one, and the context of the matter gradually became clear.

In the beginning, Wang Yu's father, Wang Shan, wanted to help his son get rid of the crime, so he made a crooked idea and found a young man of similar stature and age. Will be able to get away with it.

After searching around for a long time, the eldest son of Wang Yuan's family was the most suitable.

Wang Yuan is only a small Lizheng, as long as he wants some benefits, and he threatens him, he is not afraid that he will not send his son out.

After that, things went as smoothly as he expected, Wang Yuanzhen sent his son to Chenliu one night, and he took his son out that night.

I thought that the matter would end in this way, but I didn't expect that Wang Qing might be killed when the court strictly investigated the case, so Wang Yuan refused to let go.

At this time, Wang Yu actually went to Qingshiban Township to add chaos.

Not only did he run to Qingshiban Township, but he even flaunted his power and flaunted himself before the suffering master. Wang Yuan also taught Wang Yu a lesson mercilessly, so that Wang Yu still can't get out of bed.

However, looking at the facts pieced together from these letters, there are always a few details that are slightly different from what Mrs. He said. Sheng Shaoqing faintly felt that something was wrong, but she quickly put this ray of doubts behind her.

Turning to look at Mrs. He who was full of expectation, Sheng Shaoqing comforted her, "Now that we have these evidences, it will be much easier."

"Once my husband obtains these evidences, it will be able to prove that Qing'er is a scapegoat, so that he can come back with a little bit of sadness, and the real damn person will have to go where he should go."

"Then what am I going to do?"

Sheng Shaoqing held Mrs. He's hand and said firmly, "Leave it to me!"

As soon as Mrs. He left, Sheng Shaoqing summoned Ji Wenxuan and Yunzhi to discuss countermeasures.

After reading the letter, Ji Wenxuan stroked his beard in silence for a long time, only Yunzhi said excitedly, "The Wang family is still such a scum!"

Ji Wenxuan looked up at Sheng Shaoqing and said, "What does Madam mean?"

Sheng Shaoqing pondered for a moment and said, "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, the only thing left is for someone to beat the drums and complain."

The three looked at each other and said in unison, "Guo Song!"

If Guo Song goes to the court to expose the matter and presents the witnesses and physical evidence, it will not only expose Wang Yuan's crimes, but also drag Wang Yu, who Guo Song hates, into the water, killing two birds with one stone.

"Is he still in the inn now?"

Just as Yun Zhi was about to volunteer, Ji Wenxuan said first, "It should still be there, but I'll go and talk to him about it myself."

Sheng Shaoqing nodded, "Then I will trouble Housekeeper Ji."

Seeing the displeasure on Yunzhi's face, Sheng Shaoqing said with a smile, "This makes you more relaxed, but you are not happy about it."

"Butler Ji has to go in person at this age, so how can I have the nerve to wait empty-handed."

Ji Wenxuan smiled and beckoned, Yun Zhi leaned over to listen to Ji Wenxuan's whisper, raised his head in surprise and said, "Is this really the case?"

Ji Wenxuan raised his eyebrows, "Is there any, you will know if you go and have a look?"

"Yunzhi takes the lead!"

"Then it seems that the cloud account room also has something to do?"

The three looked at each other and smiled, Ji Wenxuan and Yun Zhi parted ways and left.

Before noon, Ji Wenxuan sent someone to send a message to Sheng Shaoqing: It's done!

Sheng Shaoqing straightened her clothes and left the township government with Cui Yun.

Before reaching the gate of the township yamen, the people in front of the yamen have already blocked the gate and the road in front of the gate. If Ji Wenxuan hadn't asked Wang Yuan to send someone to wait in advance, she still wouldn't be able to grab the spectator in the front row. What about the scene!

The yamen servants set up layers of barriers at the door, which stopped the people who came to eat melons in a steady stream.

The grievance drum, which has accumulated so many layers of dust for so many years, was actually sounded by someone, and they put down their business and did not do it. This first-class excitement has to be joined!

I heard that it was the boy from the West Street running hall who sued the high official!
Seeing Sheng Shaoqing's arrival, Ji Wenxuan asked the government servant to open a small opening for Sheng Shaoqing, and Sheng Shaoqing reluctantly took Cui Yun in.

"What's going on now?"

Ji Wenxuan said in a low voice, "Now that someone has been sent to invite Wang Shan, Wang Qing's words should require a transfer order from Beijing."

"Let them speed up their pace."

Ji Wenxuan nodded, and invited Sheng Shaoqing to enter the door.

As soon as Sheng Shaoqing walked in, he was suffocated by a strong smell of blood. He was frowning to find the source of the smell, when he saw Wang Yuan rushing over, "Auntie, you are really here."

"This is?"

Wang Yuan followed Sheng Shaoqing's gaze and saw Guo Song whose buttocks had bloomed, frowned and said, "The person this person is suing is Chen Liuwang. According to the rules, it is the people who sue the government. You have to get a board first."

Sheng Shaoqing saw that Guo Song's body was covered with blood, and looked at Ji Wenxuan in surprise. Ji Wenxuan also frowned and lowered his head without saying a word.

No one told her that Guo Song would suffer such a serious crime if he wanted to file a complaint!
Sheng Shaoqing felt angry, and sat down on the seat Wang Yuan had prepared for him, and said, "Since I said I would come, I will definitely come. You also know that my husband is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and I usually also I just like to discuss these things with my husband, since someone is beating the drums and calling for grievances today, I want to come and see for my husband.”

"It should be, it should be."

Not long after, the crowd at the gate of the yamen was blown away again, opening a way for the newcomers.

As soon as this person entered the door, he saw Wang Yuan sitting quietly on the high hall, and only waved his hand, but he was not allowed to sit down.

"What? Wang Xiangzheng forgot the rules and etiquette?"

Wang Yuan shrugged, "What rules?"

Wang Shan said angrily, "You are just a small township official, but I am a county magistrate. I am from the direct branch of the Wang family. You are just a concubine who works for both public and private purposes. Shouldn't you come over and salute me?" ?”

Wang Yuan said disdainfully, "Our court rules, there is no high or low in the court, no matter the emperor or the common people, all who break the law are equally guilty."

Although Sheng Shaoqing looked down on Wang Yuan's character, he praised what he said just now.

However, Wang Yuan's ability to say this may only be aimed at Wang Shan. If it is someone else, it is not certain whether this court can be opened!

"you!"

"Okay!" Wang Shan held back his breath, thinking that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, "Then Wang Xiang, why don't you tell me, what is the purpose of today's battle?"

Wang Yuan pointed to Guo Songdao, "The people under the hall want to sue you for using power for personal gain and extorting money."

"I?"

Wang Shan smiled disdainfully, "Wang Xiangzheng, this meal can be eaten indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. Do you have evidence?"

Guo Song, who was dying at the side, suddenly struggled to get up, and said weakly, "Here is the pleadings!"

After speaking, the yamen servant took out the pleading from his arms. The outermost layer of the cloth wrapping the pleading was already wet with sweat. Fortunately, Guo Song wrapped the pleading in many layers, and the pleading was delivered intact. In the hands of Wang Yuan.

Then Wang Yuan read Wang Shan's crimes one by one according to the pleadings, but when Wang Shan threatened Wang Qing to take the blame, Wang Yuan's expression was a little unnatural.

Wang Shan sneered and said, "Wang Xiangzheng? Are you using this trick? Isn't it just that you refuse to agree to your request, and you still find these people to perform such a big show today?"

"I threatened you? What about the evidence?"

"The evidence is here!"

Sheng Shaoqing put the letter brought by Mrs. He on the table, "This is the correspondence between you and Wang Xiangzheng, and now it is the evidence that you ordered Wang Qing to take the place of Wang Yu!"

Wang Shan's gaze paused when he saw Sheng Shaoqing, and he only pointed at Sheng Shaoqing and asked Wang Yuandao, "How can there be women in the courtroom?"

"Why, I remember that there is no law in the Great Liang law that prohibits women from going to court, right?"

Wang Shan snorted coldly, "So what? If I don't allow it, don't you have to step down too?"

"She is the wife of Mr. Yuan Jun, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Mr. Yuan has taken care of her specially. She wants"

Wang Shan raised his hand to interrupt Wang Yuan, and said directly, "As far as I know, Master Yuan is over half a hundred years old, and his wife died young, and there is no news of remarriage, so where did you come from, Mrs. Yuan? "

"My lord Wang is really as stable as Mount Tai. Now that the ironclad evidence is out, there is still time to entangle my identity?"

"Will anyone really believe the evidence presented by an unknown woman?"

"you!"

Wang Shan turned his head to ignore Sheng Shaoqing, and only said to Wang Yuan, "Wang Yuan, when are you going to stop this farce? It's extremely naive to find such a group of people to frame me today!"

"Don't you really think that relying on these few people and these few letters, you can make me work for you? You are too naive!"

"I'll also tell you, I've already noticed the tricks you did before, and I don't mind. Let you and your whole family be buried with you for your current arrogance!"

"Your Majesty Wang is so bold!"

Wang Shan turned his head to look at Sheng Shaoqing who was speaking, took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and threw them at Sheng Shaoqing's feet, and said contemptuously, "It's really hard for you to act with Wang Yuan, I will reward you for your hard work, let's buy a cup of tea .”

Just as Ji Wenxuan was about to stand up and reprimand him, Sheng Shaoqing bent down and picked up the few copper coins at his feet, and counted them in his hand, "Five copper coins, Mr. Wang is really generous, and there are so many rewards for casual rewards." .”

The yamen servants, who almost forgot their identities while watching the excitement, were all amused, and began to communicate in low voices.

"You! You are a shameless woman!"

"I have no shame?"

"Master Wang, I have no shame, but I didn't let other people's sons go to jail instead of mine."

"I didn't let my servants run rampant in Chenliu and bully men and women."

"Do you dare to do it or not?"

"You slander! How dare you slander the court officials!"

"Someone! Somebody!"

Wang Shan gave orders angrily, but no one in the township government would listen to him. Wang Shan hated himself for underestimating the enemy today. When he went out, he didn't bring anyone from the Wang family with him. nothing!
Wang Shan was out of breath, and was about to turn around and leave in a huff, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

"You?! How dare you stop me?!"

"I am the governor of the county, and, moreover, I am a descendant of the Wang family! How dare you be rude to me?! Are you afraid that I will question you one by one when I go back in the future?!"

"Master Wang, don't rush to leave. If you question them, you have to pass my test first."

Wang Shan turned around in shock, "You?"

At this moment, Ji Wenxuan slowly moved out, and took out the gold medal to show humanity, "The queen mother is here in person, and you haven't seen her yet?!"

"Queen?!"

Wang Shan limp and sat down inch by inch, Wang Yuan immediately bowed down and shouted thousand years old, and everyone in the hall also bowed down after seeing this.

Sheng Shaoqing walked up to Wang Yuan, and Wang Yuan gave up his seat knowingly and wittily, and used his official robe to polish the imperial chair that he had sat on, "Please sit down, Queen Mother!"

"However, how do I see that Wang Xiangzheng doesn't seem surprised at all?"
