Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 233
The gentleman standing next to the old bustard was serving in the court.

However, because this person was of too low a rank, was of a low profile, and had almost no background, he did not have much of a presence in the court.

This person's name is Zhang Hongxia, and he is the deputy envoy of the General Affairs Department.

Logically speaking, from the perspective of Qunyufang, he was the main person responsible for the secret murder of Li Yan, the minister.

Of course, the secret murder of Li Yan, the minister in charge, was a matter of great significance, and it must involve many details.

An hour and a half ago, the old madam of Qunyufang came to Zhang Hongxia's house and reported the suspicious thing she discovered from Liang Hongyu to Zhang Hongxia.

After Zhang Hongxia learned of this, his scalp became numb, and he quickly asked the old bustard to take him to Qunyufang.

At this time, Zhang Hongxia put his hands behind his back and said to the attendants around him: "Go outside quickly, close the door, and guard it tightly with me!"

The attendants on the left and right ran out quickly and went to guard the outside.

"Master Zhang, you have to interrogate this little bastard. From the looks of it now, it's really a good thing that this little bastard is broken!"

The old bustard was in full arrogance, clutching Liang Hongyu's body tightly and saying angrily.

Zhang Hongxia raised his eyebrows, looked at Liang Hongyu who was lifted into the air by the old bustard, and said: "Do you know what a serious crime you committed, this matter is enough to make your head fall to the ground and the nine clans be punished, where is Li Yan fleeing now? Say it quickly."

Liang Hongyu was out of breath, her whole body was in pain as if being torn apart by someone, and she was even unconscious.

She just thought in her heart: This old pig and dog is clearly deceiving me. Based on the gold alone, she can never conclude that Li Yan is not dead, she must be deceiving me!
Liang Hongyu said weakly: "Replying to your lord, the daughter of the people did kill the minister Li Yan with her own hands that day with the dagger. After the lord struggled, he knocked over all the stoves and lanterns in my house, causing a fire. "

The cause and effect of this matter were clearly investigated by the government after it happened.

Although the body of the minister Li Yan had been burned to charcoal, after several inquiries, it was confirmed that it was indeed the minister Li Yan.

This matter is clearly settled, and the tight iron rope in Zhang Hongxia's heart has been loosened.

However, I never thought that now, some doubts would arise about the prostitute Liang Hongyu!

Zhang Hongxia rolled his eyes, thought carefully, turned to look at the old bustard, and said, "I have told you before that this matter cannot be taken lightly."

"Now that this is the situation, what do you think you should do?"

The old madam was anxious and angry, so he grabbed Liang Hongyu and beat her violently. He said at the same time: "You little bitch, you are a short-lived dog, can you really recruit me!"

Just as the Madam was about to take action, Zhang Hongxia stopped her.

She said coldly to Liang Hongyu: "You, a common woman, may not know something. The government has been dealing with the Jin army in the past few days and has no time to deal with your matter."

"I just turned on the autopsy this morning, and it was found that the body did not match that of the minister Li Yan. My officer was present at the time and suppressed the matter."

"Why? Because there is room for relaxation in everything. At that time, I thought that it would be really difficult for you, a weak woman, to put such a big burden in your hands."

"Speaking of which, if I report this to the superiors, do you think the government will send someone to arrest you?"

"At that time, all the witnesses and material evidence will be available, and the fake body of Li Yan, the minister, will be placed in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Do you think you can still survive?"

Zhang Hongxia's eloquent talk naturally frightened Liang Hongyu to death.

Liang Hongyu looked at Zhang Hongxia dumbfounded, opened her mouth and said urgently: "Master Zhang, I did kill Li Yan, the servant, that night. It's absolutely true, and I didn't hide anything about it!"

Zhang Hongxia raised his eyebrows and asked deliberately: "You said you killed Li Yan, the minister in charge. Now I want to ask you, where did the gold come from?"

Liang Hongyu blurted out: "My brother Han lent it to me, he is a soldier!" Zhang Hongxia continued to ask: "Since your friend lent you the gold, what happened to the body of the minister Li Yan?"

Liang Hongyu said anxiously: "Mr. Zhang, the daughter of the people did not know something. That night the daughter of the people personally stabbed the dagger into the chest of Li Yan, the minister. It is absolutely true, he is indeed dead!"

Zhang Hongxia asked again: "As for your brother Han... your mother has already told me that his name is Han Shizhong. I have personally interrogated him. He said that he has never lent you a penny."

Liang Hongyu was speechless, and for a moment she really didn't know what to do.

After stammering for a long time, he hesitated and said: "That...this..."

Zhang Hongxia suddenly changed his appearance, his expression extremely ferocious.

He gritted his teeth and grabbed Liang Hongyu's hair with all his strength. The sound was like a thunder, falling from Liang Hongyu's head.

"What this and that! The matter has come to this, and you still dare to hide it. You really have had enough!"

At this time, it was useless no matter what Liang Hongyu said.

Liang Hongyu also knew very well that the big knife was already hanging on her neck.

She just waited for the person above to speak and her head fell to the ground.

I really wanted to cry but had no tears. I regretted so much that my intestines were blue.

How did she know that what Zhang Hongxia had just said to her was all nonsense.

The bottom line is that no word can be taken seriously.

It was a lie to her at the beginning, and it was still a lie to her in the end.

Zhang Hongxia was about to take Liang Hongyu away from Qunyufang. Suddenly, several soldiers walked in from outside.

After coming in, they all knelt on the ground and said urgently: "Master Zhang, just now, two men in black handed me a note waiting for me, saying that this note must be delivered to you personally, so that you can live well. Check!"

Immediately afterwards, one of the leading soldiers personally handed Zhang Hongxia a note.

Zhang Hongxia frowned tightly, unfolded the note vigorously, took a closer look, and was shocked in his heart.

His eyes were so wide open that the small characters on the note seemed to have sprouted legs and feet, flying wildly on the white paper, which made him tremble with fear.

When he saw the last word, he threw Liang Hongyu to the ground.

He quickly said to his entourage: "Quickly prepare a chariot and horses for me!"

The two attendants standing at the door quickly ran out to prepare Zhang Hongxia's carriage and horses.

Seeing that Zhang Hongxia was suddenly very anxious, the old bustard didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just stood aside and looked at him intently.

Zhang Hongxia said to the old bustard: "I'm telling you, you should keep a close eye on this woman. I will be back tomorrow morning at the latest."

The old bustard was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said: "As you command, Master Zhang!"

Zhang Hongxia glanced coldly at Liang Hongyu who was lying on the ground, pointed at her pretty face, and said sternly: "You! Wait for death for me."
