Chapter 109 Let the enemy die and not live in peace

Wei Mingji, who had listened for a while, finally said in a deep voice: "Handwriting can be imitated, and imprints can be forged. Don't say that I am greedy for 5 taels of ink. Even if I say that Da Sinong is greedy for ink of 10 taels or one million taels in the future, I can also prove this kind of evidence." Create it. If you don’t believe me, give me three days, and I promise that everyone will be greedy for ink, and the evidence of the crime is convincing.”

There was silence in the hall for a while.

Song An snorted and said: "This is just a trick of Chen Rui to delay time. Why can't you adults see it? With such evidence, the court's attention will be on General Wei. How can they investigate Wei? General for a while, with this time, Chen Rui will have the opportunity to operate secretly and reduce the guilt of their family by three points!"

The ministers in the hall began to whisper to each other again.

Song An said loudly again: "Chen Rui's father and son committed treason and Chen Rui's crime of treason during the Yingchuan Rebellion is very complicated, and the trial will take some time, but his daughter Xinan ambushed Wen Shilang and Youning County on the official road of Bingzhou. The matter between the Lord and Lord Cao Rong’s daughter is clear.”

"The palace guards who followed Wen Shilang, the guards of the Cao family, the personal guards of Princess Youning, and dozens of Yangdi soldiers from Shangdu Mansion all suffered heavy casualties. Wen Shilang's leg injury is evidence. Zhao County is recuperating, this woman has committed a heinous crime, don't you adults discuss the future of this woman?"

Cao Rong also said: "The youngest daughter of the family and Princess Youning followed Wen Shilang to Bingzhou to visit her elder brother. Unexpectedly, she was affected by Chen Xinan. After returning, her body became thin and she couldn't sleep at night. The case also involved innocent people, it is a heinous crime, I suggest that Chen Xinan should be executed immediately!"

Wei Mingji looked indifferent, and said: "Father and son of the Chen family cannot escape the crime of death, but Your Majesty rules the world with benevolence and righteousness. If you don't spare even women and children, you are afraid that people will discuss it. Chen Xinan's crimes are extremely heinous. They were all provoked by his father Chen Rui, and they are regarded as accomplices." .”

Cao Rong chuckled, "I heard that Chen Xinan almost became General Wei's concubine. The girl from the Chen family is also beautiful. General Wei is reluctant?"

Wei Mingji retorted in a deep voice: "Lord Cao, be careful! I have never thought about getting married, let alone taking concubines, let alone the daughter of a criminal minister."

These courtiers buzzed like bees every day, and they even quarreled loudly when there was a big controversy. His Majesty's head was aching, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

His Majesty turned to look at the crown prince, and said: "About Chen Rui's father and son's treason case, Chen Rui's treason case, the Chen family's daughter's ambushe of the imperial court's assassination case, and Wei Mingji's ink corruption case, please write me a note, and I will listen to you first. opinion to make a decision.”

"Yes, Father!"

"The rest of the court has nothing to do!" The emperor waved his hand freely, got up and went to rest.

The courtiers got up and dispersed, Wei Mingji followed General Lu and walked out of the court hall, but was stopped by the crown prince, and the two went to the East Palace together.

Three days later, Lin Tingyu brought the news that the adult males of the Chen family were rebellious, and the minor males were exiled to the northwest, and a female family member acted as an official prostitute.Wei Mingji's ink corruption case was deliberately framed by Chen Rui. Wei Mingji was wronged in this case, and His Majesty the Emperor compensated him with several households.

Lin Tingyu said: "Your Majesty asked His Highness the Crown Prince to decide on this case, but His Highness the Crown Prince discussed with Wei Mingji, and the matter was settled in this way, and His Majesty did not object any more."

Cao Ruicen clenched his teeth, and said angrily, "That bastard Chen Xinan is really cheap! Chen Xinan acted as her father's pawn and did all kinds of bad things. How could he let her go so easily? It was General Wei's idea, he Could it be that your brain is broken?"

"Be careful, be careful! These important people have their own considerations, we can't guess." Lin Tingyu signaled Cao Ruicen to silence, "These complaints must not be said anymore."

Lin Xingwei thought for a moment, then asked, "Where did Chen Xinan get charged?"

"Northwest. But the person has been secretly picked up by Wei Mingji." Lin Tingyu said.

Cao Ruicen opened his eyes wide, and asked in surprise, "Wei Mingji doesn't really like her, does he? Save her when she's dying?"

Lin Xingwei threw a candied fruit into his mouth, and said: "If there is no Chen Xinan, A Cen, you can let Master Cao accuse Wei Mingji of covering up criminals in the court hall, and you, as the official censor, should work hard Impeach Wei Mingji."

Cao Ruicen nodded seriously, vowing not to let Chen Xinan go.

Lin Tingyu flicked Lin Xingwei's forehead, and said, "What's going on in your head all day? I don't think Wei Mingji is so bold as to cover up Chen Xinan, so he must have some intention to pick her up for a while."

Lin Xing glanced at Lin Tingyu slightly, lowered his head to eat the candied fruit and did not speak again.After dinner, Luo Fu was called into the room and talked for a while.

Five days later, King Yingchuan and his son were taken to Caishikou to be executed. Chen Xinan Dai Xiao collected the corpses, and several coffins were placed on a cart not far away.

After the execution was over, Chen Xinan kowtowed and burned some paper money on the execution ground, and the corpses were carried off the execution ground by several servants of the Chen family who were waiting to be sold, and put them into coffins and dragged them away.

Lin Xingwei and Cao Ruicen saw this scene in the carriage, and Cao Ruicen gritted his teeth, "It's really a joke to allow her to collect the corpse!"

Lin Xingwei watched coldly, opened the car door, and asked outside the car: "Luo Fu, are you ready?"

Luo Fu clasped his fists and nodded, and said in a low voice: "Everything has been arranged according to the princess's instructions."

The two girls looked at each other with a sympathetic smile and went back home.

The funeral ceremony of the Chen family fell into the horse trap on the way. Chen Xinan was the first to fall into the horse trap. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and two legs were broken. There were also several Yang Di who were in charge of escorting him. The army also fell in, and the mourning team was temporarily blocked in the middle of the road.

After filling the horse pit and walking through a forest for a while, several large nets were laid down, the coffin was lifted up and then fell heavily, the coffin board cracked, and the corpse rolled down.In the chaos, the severed heads of Chen Rui and his son were trampled and kicked.

Wait for the coffin to be repaired and the corpse installed.On the road again, when approaching the cemetery, someone accidentally stepped on the mechanism, and the grass crackled and shot cold arrows in an instant, causing countless casualties.

Under the escort of the Yangzhai army, Chen Xinan escaped death, and it was already midnight when he arrived at the cemetery.The coffins had just been placed in the tomb that had been dug in advance, and before the burial began, there was a loud bang, and the coffins sank three feet deep. The gravity fell, and several coffins were cracked. They could no longer be repaired, so they could only be buried here.

When the news came out, there was an uproar in the court, and they couldn't guess who did it for a while, but they could only say that the Chen father and son had done too many sinister things, offended people who shouldn't be offended, and they would not let their family live in peace after death.

After the court dispersed, His Majesty left Wei Mingji behind and said: "I know you have your own intentions in keeping Chen Xinan, but you have also seen that even if the court disposes of the Chen family and his son, there are still many people in the court who are dissatisfied with the Chen family, otherwise It wouldn't be such an outrageous thing to set up a trap all the way to frame Chen's funeral, and you should be careful if you keep Chen Xinan, so as not to cause trouble to your upper body."

Wei Mingji knelt in the center of the court hall, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what I know. I will send Chen Xinan to the northwest according to His Majesty's will."
