The heavens set sail from the courtyard

When Yu Weiyi saw Shen Huizhao and Wang Gang appear at the same time, he already had a bad feeling. When he heard Shen Huizhao say that the emperor was coming in person, he felt like the sky was falling.

However, Yu Weiyi still had a lucky mentality. The emperor lived deep in the palace, how could he come out just by saying so? No matter how favored Shen Huizhao was, it was impossible for her to drag the emperor to the outskirts of Bianjing?
But the moment Yu Weiyi saw the dragon chariot, his heart finally died. His legs suddenly went limp, and he was carried by two yamen runners to the front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty." The moment Yu Weiyi saw the emperor, he completely collapsed to the ground.

The official sat in the dragon chariot with a cold look on his face, his eyes full of disappointment.

"Prime Minister Yu," the emperor said coldly, "If I hadn't had a sudden impulse today to invite Marshal Zhe to go hunting, I wouldn't have seen this drama of killing his wife and children."

Yu Weiyi broke out in a cold sweat when he saw a young general beside the emperor, who seemed to be Zhe Cong, the young commander of the Zhe family army.

"Your Majesty, will you listen to my explanation?"

The official shouted angrily: "I saw it with my own eyes, what else do you have to explain?"

Wang Gang ordered his men to place all the bodies of Madam Yu's men in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Madam Yu is outside awaiting your orders."

Yu Weiyi's body began to shake, and he suddenly realized that he might have fallen into Wang Gang's trap from the beginning.

Previously, Wang Gang said he wanted to make a deal with him and revealed the matter of Du Yangxi. It might have been a setup, a setup that would make him deserted by his friends and ruin his reputation.

"Your Majesty, you can't trust Wang Gang! He killed his sister-in-law and escaped from prison. He has been wanted by the Dali Temple." Yu Weiyi tried to save himself!

"Your Majesty, I killed my sister-in-law because of a false accusation by the Han family. The person who instigated the Han family was Yu Weiyi." Wang Gang took out a letter from his arms and said:
"Before my sister-in-law committed suicide for love, she left a suicide note. The letter also stated that she was instigated by Cui, the steward of Yu Weiyi's mansion, to frame the eldest daughter of the Chai family and instruct the actors to ruin her reputation."

Wang Gang held the letter in both hands, calmly and unhurriedly.

Shen Huizhao also said at this time: "Your Majesty, I have already found out that everything Wang Gang said is true. Manager Cui has also been arrested and has confessed everything."

Yu Weiyi's heart was shocked.

The emperor asked the eunuch to present the letter, and after reading it, he asked, "Why did Prime Minister Yu go to such great lengths to frame Miss Chai?"

Wang Gang laughed and said, “Yu Weiyi just wants to use Miss Chai to ruin the reputation of my Wang family and force my father to return to Bianjing, making it impossible for him to rectify the Jiangnan salt business.

Over the years, Yu Weiyi has colluded with Jiangnan salt merchants, enriched himself, used the tributes from salt merchants to bribe ministers, and formed cliques for personal gain. His deeds are too numerous to list. Madam Yu knows all about them and can provide evidence.

Yu Weiyi collapsed completely to the ground, knowing that he was finished.

He finally understood that the reason why Wang Gang was willing to be imprisoned and even escape from prison was to force him and his wife to turn against each other. The matter of Du Yangxi was just the fuse that caused the rift between the couple.

"It's over, it's all over." Yu Weiyi lay on the ground in despair, with no strength left in his body.

The emperor could tolerate Yu Weiyi killing his wife and children, but forming a clique for personal gain had already touched the emperor's bottom line, and Wang Gang's move hit the weak spot.

Madam Yu was brought over soon. She was furious at Yu Weiyi's ruthlessness and disloyalty, as he not only wanted to kill her but also her daughter. Naturally, she would not hide anything from the emperor and told him all the good things Yu Weiyi had done over the years.

The official became angrier as he listened, and there was even murderous intent in his eyes.

"Come here, put this bastard into the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and let Kaifeng Prefecture try him tomorrow."

With just one word from the government, Yu Weiyi was sent to the eighteenth level of hell.

Because Wang Gang provided Han's suicide note, he was naturally released without charge. As for the incident of escaping from prison, the government did not pursue the matter because of his contribution in exposing Yu Weiyi.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. It was Wang Gang and Shen Huizhao who framed me."

When Yu Weiyi was taken away, he was still crying out that he was innocent.

The official then summoned Du Yangxi and asked him about what happened back then. Upon learning that Du's mother had worked so hard and was willing to destroy her own appearance in order to raise Du Yangxi, he could not help but be in awe.

Speaking of which, Guan Jia and Du Yangxi have similar life experiences. He lost his father in childhood and his mother in youth, and was raised by the Queen Mother. Perhaps because of empathy, Guan Jia has a good impression of Du Yangxi!
"Mother Du raised the son of the former master with great hard work and contribution. I decree to confer upon you the title of seventh-rank imperial concubine. Du Yangxi, I have read the essay you wrote and you are indeed a pillar of talent. I hope you can make achievements in the palace examination."

After the emperor encouraged Du Yangxi, he felt a little tired and said to Zhe Cong beside him: "Young Marshal Zhe, I was planning to compete with you in archery today, but I encountered such a bad thing. Let's compete another day!"

Zhe Cong said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"

"No need to send me off." The official was not interested at all and really had no energy to do it.

As soon as the official dragon chariot left, Zhe Cong ran over to communicate with Wang Gang.

"Brother Yuankang, congratulations on your vindication."

"Marshal Zhe, should you call me brother-in-law?" Wang Gang said with a smile.

Zhe Cong was Li Fan, the son of the Li family who was washed away by the flood.

"Humph! You're marrying my eldest sister without my consent!" Zhe Cong said unconvinced.

"Did you go to Li's house when you came to Bian Jing?" Wang Gang asked back.

"Not yet." Zhe Cong sighed, "I heard that you were in prison, so I rushed to Bianjing overnight. I ran three horses to death and I didn't have time to go home."

Zhe Cong lost his memory when he fell into the water. He has recovered his memory in bits and pieces over the years, but he dares not recognize the Li family.

"I think you are greedy for wealth and are reluctant to give up the title of the young marshal of the Zhe family army." Wang Gang said unhappily.

"Nonsense, I am not that kind of person, but now the Zhe family army is facing internal and external troubles, and I am too young to take charge on my own, so I really can't leave." Zhe Cong sighed:
"Most importantly, I'm worried that Madam Zhe won't let me go."

Zhe Cong's situation is more complicated. When Mrs. Zhe adopted him, she raised him as the heir of the Zhe family. After so many years of raising him, Zhe Cong cannot just let it go.

He was in a very difficult situation with his biological mother on one side and his adoptive mother on the other.

"Come home with me first!" Wang Gang hooked his arm around Zhe Cong's neck and said, "It just so happens that I don't know how to explain this to Shou Hua, so I'm using you to block the knife!"

Zhe Cong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but he did not refuse to return to the Li family. He had long missed his family.

After Wang Gang escaped from prison, the government issued an edict that the Wang family was temporarily sealed off and no one was allowed to leave the house.

The Li family was fine and was not implicated, but Mrs. Li had been running around with her daughter and son-in-law these days and was exhausted.

When Wang Gang and Zhe Cong arrived at Li's house, Mrs. Li was shocked.

"Son-in-law, run quickly. There are wanted warrants for you all over Bianjing now."

Wang Gang shook his head and smiled: "Mother-in-law, I have been cleared of all charges and the government has rescinded my arrest warrant."

"Ah!" Madam Li was stunned for a moment, then she said in ecstasy: "If that's the case, why did you come here? Go home quickly, Shouhua has been so worried these days that his hair has turned white."

Wang Gang pulled Zhe Cong over and said, "Mother-in-law, look who this is?"

Madam Li looked at Zhe Cong carefully but did not recognize him at first.

Li Fan was still young when he fell into the water. He has been through a lot in the past few years and is no longer recognizable.

Zhe Cong didn't waste any words. He knelt down in front of Madam Li and kowtowed heavily.

"mother."

The word "mother" made Madam Li's heart tremble.
