Black Moonlight, after her robbery

The deaths of Wang Zhenmi and Baoqin undoubtedly intensified the situation of the struggle between King Wen.

Although Wang Mi was not really sad about his daughter's death, he finally had an extra counterweight to the pressure from the Wen family.

This gives one more reason, which is: "Look, your daughter is dead, and my daughter is also dead, so why do you have to be so aggressive? It's better to give in."

For a time, even if the crusade was beneficial to the Wen family, it quickly turned around and became "fair" in the secular sense.

On the contrary, Wang Mi breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his normal life.

However, for the beloved son of his parents, how can the hatred that has been suppressed in the hearts of the Wen family and his wife be eliminated?

On the seventh day of Wen Dairong's first year, the Wen family and his wife came to the palace to worship together. They drank two cups of tea and Wen Xu talked a lot.

Qing Guogong sighed slightly, "It's really hard to take this tone when things come to this. Our family is so painful after the death of our daughter, but the Wang family seems to be at peace with it."

Silently he raised his head and said, "As His Highness said, if you want to bring down the Wang family, you must have evidence of guilt, but this Wang Mi really has a character of 'Things can be thrown away', and he will do anything to get rid of himself."

"You can even look at the death of your own daughter as if it's a loss, so where does your weakness come from?"

Wen Yu said: "One year to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. In fact, my father-in-law, you have been in the court for several years, you must have some handle on these people."

However, Duke Qing lamented, "Corruption is a common practice as an official. After all, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. But if this kind of thing were not extreme, even His Majesty would turn a blind eye."

Resentment instantly surged into his heart, and Duke Qing felt extremely hard, and it took him a long time to utter a single sentence.

"Even if I have evidence of Wang Mi's corruption and bribery, I definitely can't give him a fatal blow, but if I have to do it, why not hit him with one blow!"

A branch of sweet-scented osmanthus bloomed beautifully outside the window. Ti Zhen stared for a moment, his eyes were like a frozen lake, and he smiled slowly.

"I heard that Wang Mi often goes to the calligraphy and painting market to hunt for treasures recently. Mr. Guan Luguan who is traveling with him often mentions this matter to my brother in private."

Duke Qing put his hands on the table, "Humph, he is still in the mood to hang out!"

Ti Zhen's eyes were slightly squinted, and his eyes were light and airy under the soft sunlight. "The calligraphy and painting market is a mixed bag. I'm not sure what Wang Mi is looking for."

She raised her eyes and said, "I heard that Wang Mi often resented Guan Lu in private, saying that His Majesty's punishment of Du Chongjie was too disrespectful of old feelings."

He smiled again, "What kind of person do you think he is that can have some empathy for a sinner like Du Zhongjie?"

The Duke of Qing became angrily when he thought about it, "Du Chongjie, a traitor with both sides, naturally only people like him would sympathize with him!"

After saying that, my heart suddenly felt cold and bright, and I looked at Ti Zhen and Wen Yu.

Wen Yu calmly continued Ti Zhen's words and continued: "So... whoever dares to shake the Wei Dynasty, whether it is the mastermind or the sympathetic person, is a wrongful death, and Your Majesty will never condone it. If it is done lightly, and It’s not a joke about Jiangshan Sheji.”

He smiled and said, "Now His Majesty is angry about the two rebellions and is also worried about the Queen's condition. He is in a very confused mood."

He warned him carefully and thoughtfully, "My lord, you must make a decision quickly."

When the Duke of Qing heard this, his heart was filled with excitement. He immediately lifted up his robe and knelt straight on the ground, "Your Highness's kindness in enlightening me will never be forgotten. When my little girl's revenge is avenged, I am willing to treat you with Your Highness's leadership!"

As we all know, suspicion has always been a characteristic of the old emperor, especially when it comes to things that violate the emperor's taboos.

With the announcement of the Qing Dynasty that Wang Mi had secretly hidden a collection of poems by the criminal minister Du Chongjie, the emperor finally paid attention to this matter, not to mention it was still in such an extraordinary period.

Even if the emperor suspected that it was a false accusation made by Duke Qing to avenge his daughter, he had to send Tingweisi to find out.

Sure enough, a collection of poems praising King Xiang's achievements was found on the shelf in Wang Mi's study, and it was written by Du Chonghui.

When the Mingtang interrogated Wang Mi, he naturally refused to admit it. However, Guan Lu, who had always been good friends with him, suddenly retorted, saying that he had often heard Wang Mi say that His Majesty punished Du Chongjie too lightly, and he often felt resentful.

Guan Lu's report violated the emperor's taboos, and there was physical evidence. How could the already upset emperor not believe it.

He immediately issued an order to confiscate the Wang family and sentenced Wang Mi to be cut in half.

So quickly, everything was overturned, from the loss of favor of the Wang family to the decline of the Wang family.

Afterwards, Guan Lu came to the door with a face full of flattery, "Princess, the confession that should be made has been agreed upon by all the ministers. You see..."

Ti Zhen fiddled with the bird in the cage, chuckled softly, and said charmingly: "It's hard for you to be cruel, but you are willing to tell my brother all this, and you are willing to go out to testify."

Guan Lu flashed his eyes slyly, "As we all know, the Wang family has fallen. I have been following Wang Mi for several years. Now the disaster is unstoppable. As a little beast with two horns, I have to find a backer again."

He looked at Gu Chang, who was standing aside, and said kindly, "Now that the Shi family is in power, and the princess's brother-in-law is favored by Mr. Zhou in the official department, it can be seen that you are the most powerful person in Chang'an." He bowed and clasped his hands, "I don't know what the princess thinks of me. Are you satisfied with what you have done?"

Ti Zhen nodded, "Don't worry, it's not just an official job. Let's go back and wait for news."

Then he gave Cao You a wink and said, "Cao You, please send Master Guan off personally for me."

Guan Lu had a cheerful expression, and he stood up and walked majestically in front of Cao You until he came to a water tank with lotus flowers. The strong man strangled him by the neck and pushed him into the water.

The water splashed loudly and splashed endlessly, but the struggle stopped after a while.

It's getting cold and winter clouds are approaching.

Ti Zhen continued to tease the bird with an expressionless expression, "I'm very grateful for the little guy's help, but how dare I keep this person who betrayed and plotted against his old master? Even ferocious beasts are afraid of being bitten by maggots."

After a moment of silence, he waved his hand and said, "Thrown into the moat, it's just a treacherous guy who commits suicide with a guilty conscience. It's not surprising. Just tell Zuo Fengyi then."

He glanced at the water tank again and said, "Take out the unlucky things and throw them away.

Gu Chang watched from the side, showing a hint of secret appreciation, "The weeds are not burned out, and they grow again with the spring breeze. My little sister's concerns are right."

He breathed a sigh of relief and silently picked up the tea on the table, "Now that the Wen family has been favored by His Majesty, they have surrendered to His Highness. On the Emperor's side, there is essentially no confidant left."

Ti Zhen said: "Then the emperor shows no signs of further promotion?"

Gu Chang shook his head, "Du Zhongjie and Wang Mi come from aristocratic families. It is easy to promote but difficult to check and balance. With two civil strife, the emperor should no longer have the intention to support the aristocratic family. But..."

He took two sips of tea and continued, "I recently went to Zhou Jieyi's house and heard him say something. The emperor seems to attach great importance to the list of poor families next spring, and has considered it carefully several times."

After hearing this, Ti Zhen smiled and said: "That's it. When it comes to employing people, it doesn't matter whether they are smart or not. What matters is that they must be obedient and easy to handle."

He turned around and praised Gu Chang, "It seems that my brother-in-law has integrated into the officialdom very quickly, and now he can see the situation more accurately than an eagle's eye."

Gu Chang smiled humbly and narrowed his eyes slightly, "The Huo family and the Shi family are one, and they are both subordinate to the King of Qin and the princess. We fought hard to win this territory now. If we are not prepared for danger in times of peace, we can hold on to the future." If you wait, all your hard work will be in vain.”

"That's what my brother-in-law said." Ti Zhen thought for a moment and then asked, "But why didn't my sister come with you today?"

Having said this, Gu Chang breathed a sigh of relief helplessly, "Since you told me about Li Xin, your sister led Huo Fang and Shi Fang's people to search several times until someone found traces in Beiluguan yesterday."

Just a thought like this made my whole body feel cold to the bone.

"Lixin is at Beilu Pass..."

Ti Zhen didn't dare to think about it, after all, Xiao Li really asked her if she was Anyang Shi.

Gu Chang made a clear distinction, "Where did I think I passed Beilu Pass?"

But Ti Zhen still had some hesitation in his heart, "If Xiang Guo is causing trouble, and Shen Wangshu is also at Beilu Pass, since there are traces, he must know better."

Gu Chang shook his head, "What's strange is that I just heard the words. After Shen Wangshu found out, there was no substantial evidence to prove that Lixin must have gone to Xiangguo."

Ti Zhen turned his head and looked at him, "Is that just catching wind and shadow?"

Gu Chang pondered for a moment and then said: "But your sister means that she would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go."

For a moment, his face turned as cold as frost, and he warned her, "Xiao Li can't stay any longer."

Ti Zhen's thin eyebrows frowned slightly, looking at the pale sunshine in the courtyard, she suddenly remembered the instructions she had given Yang Zu when the envoy of Xiang State left.

In fact, the moment she knew that Xiao Li had guessed her identity, she had been thinking of ways to end him. However, she and Xiao Li had already broken up, and both Xiao Li and Xiao Zaili were too wary of her.

Naturally, she would not be so stupid to do something like this in Da Wei, where there was no silver 300 taels.

However, when Yang Zuo led his men to chase him out of the pass, King Xiang had already sent his trusted generals to respond, not to mention attacking Xiang State.

What's more, now that Xiao Li has entered Yanjing, it will be extremely difficult for him to take action again under the royal city.

But in the end Xianyu was right, he would rather kill by mistake than leave a clue.

Ti Zhen took a breath and thought over and over in his memory. After a while, he opened his eyes again.
