Happy peasant girl

Chapter 388 Femme fatale (2)
"Qingxi, what are you going to do?" When there were outsiders, Yan Yun still called Lin Qingxi "Qingxi", which was not alienating, and was different from what they called when they were alone.

Lin Qingxi raised her head and glanced at Yan Yun and Leng Mingyang, who was always gazing at the flagon. To be honest, she didn't expect Wei Zizhen to intervene in Bingzhou's affairs.

This Wei Zizhen really didn't know how to repent, and insisted on going against her, it seemed that she needed to make a ruthless move.

"Leng Mingyang, I want you to send all the evidence in your hand to the capital immediately, and leave everything to the emperor to decide, but don't reveal that Wei Zizhen is the mastermind behind the scenes, but first blame Cao Heng and Cao Yu. , I want Wei Ming to kill the Cao family brothers with his own hands and help me uproot the Cao family in Bingzhou, otherwise he and his daughter will be in panic." Lin Qingxi sneered.

Leng Mingyang pondered for a moment and then understood what it meant. He curled his lips into a smile, gave Lin Qingxi a thumbs up, and said with a smile, "Master Lin is smarter!"

Three days later, Linqingxi and Leng Mingyang's urgent confidential letters and evidence were secretly sent to the palace, and all the evidence pointed to the Cao brothers' collusion with bandits, oppression of the people, cruelty, etc., and the Cao family There seems to be another behind-the-scenes black hand behind the brothers, and this black hand directly points to Zuo Zaifu Wei Ming.

In the middle of the night, the furious Emperor Chu Huai hurriedly called Wei Ming and Lu Zhiming into the palace. In the imperial study, Chu Huai picked up the memorial and threw it viciously at Wei Ming's face.

"Wei Ming, you are so courageous. The dignified prime minister colluded with bandits to steal the imperial rations. Are you going to rebel!" Chu Huai pointed at Wei Ming furiously.

Wei Ming didn't know what happened at all, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Qi Zou the emperor, I don't dare to have the intention of treason, I hope the emperor will see clearly, don't listen to the villain's words." I specifically looked at Lu Zhiming's direction.

"The words of a villain! Huh, look at these evidences, and your secret token of Wei Zaifu. I am heartbroken because of my discernment. Wei Ming, Wei Ming, you are the prime minister I single-handedly brought up, and you are also my last People I trust, you actually let me down by doing such a thing!" Chu Huai, who was originally aggressive, suddenly fell down behind the Long Shuan in great disappointment, feeling unspeakably sad.

Wei Ming quickly crawled forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is a villain who has wronged my minister. I have never betrayed my majesty. I am devoted to the emperor and the state of Chu. The heavens can learn from my loyalty."

Naturally, Wei Ming has never done anything about colluding with bandits, but he doesn't know if the officials under him have done it, and since he did it, don't be caught by the emperor, and now he is imprisoned, really damn it!

"Loyalty? Hmph, then tell me, why did the grain officer who went to Bingzhou to transport grain get your Wei Ming's secret order card, and directly sent 500 million catties of imperial grain to the bandit den? Cao Heng, Cao Yu and What about your secret letter? Don’t you know that the Cao family brothers have been domineering in Bingzhou all these years?” Chu Huai looked at Wei Ming furiously and asked one after another.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged, I have been wronged! I have always carried the secret order card on my body, never left it, and never handed it to any grain official! As for the secret letter, I don't even know it. Someone must have imitated my handwriting." , wanting to frame the minister, and ask the emperor to uphold justice for the minister." Wei Ming hurriedly took out his secret order hand card from his body, and it was exactly the same as the hand card placed on Chu Huai's desk.

Seeing the same hand of cards, Chu Huai's eyes began to show doubts, but when facing Wei Ming, his face was still gloomy.

"Lu Zhiming, you are a well-known detective in our state of Chu. I will entrust you to investigate this matter. You must investigate it clearly for me. The sooner the better!" Chu Huai said angrily.

"I obey the order!" Lu Zhiming hurriedly bowed down and saluted.

"Lord Lu, although you and I have different political views from time to time, please still find out the truth and be innocent again!" Wei Ming said in a timely manner.

"Master Wei, please rest assured that this officer will never be partial in law enforcement, and will definitely find out the truth!" Lu Zhiming said firmly.

"Wei Ming, let me go back to the mansion to reflect. When will the matter be cleared up, and when will you come out again! I am tired, you all step back!" After Chu Huai severely reprimanded Wei Ming for a few words, he left the imperial court with his sleeves. study.

"I send you off to the emperor respectfully!" Wei Ming and Lu Zhiming hurriedly said respectfully.

Wei Ming was escorted back to the mansion by a team of guards. They said it was an escort, but in fact it was "surveillance" in a disguised form. This shows that the emperor was really angry and suspicious of him.

After returning to the mansion, Wei Ming went directly to his study to "think about his past".The next day, when Wei Zizhen got up early to greet Wei Ming, Wei Ming left her in the study.

And when there were only father and daughter left in the study, Wei Zizhen found that Wei Ming was staring at her strangely, and then took her into the secret room of the study.

"Father, what's wrong? Is it the emperor..." After Wei Zizhen walked into the secret room, she was about to ask Wei Ming what happened, when suddenly there was a "slap", Wei Ming slapped her hard with his backhand.

"Father—" Wei Zizhen covered her sore left cheek in shock, because Wei Ming used too much force, she fell down and sat on the cold floor of the secret room.

"Naughty woman! Who told you to go to Bingzhou to cause trouble with the secret order card!" Wei Ming yelled furiously.

When he saw the secret order card on the Longshu case in the imperial study room, his heart was half cold. Although he was powerful in the court, he did not have military power in his hands. It was easy for the emperor to kill him, so he urgently needed to find it. A more stable backer.

Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, her own daughter used another secret token to collude with the grain transport officer, and even sent the imperial grain to the bandit's den, regardless of the overall situation, for the sake of her personal affair. She is so courageous up.

"Father, that Linqingxi is just a lowly peasant girl. The emperor actually appointed her as a first-rank female official, and also served as an imperial envoy. She is Lu Zhiming's apprentice, and my daughter is helping father!" Wei Zizhen shook a little. Standing up, he looked at Wei Ming very aggrieved and said.

In Daddy's mind, she has always been well-behaved, obedient, and intelligent. Daddy has been doing it for a while and is still not satisfied with Zaifu. She knows that he has always disliked Lu Zhiming as an opponent, and she is just helping him and herself. .

However, Wei Ming doesn't think so. He thinks that his daughter Wei Zizhen is already obsessed with ghosts, and she doesn't think carefully about things.

"Help me? Hmph, you really think I don't know why you deal with that girl named Lin Qingxi! She is the younger sister of King Wei, and I'm afraid that King Wei has some feelings for her. You are afraid that she will take away your concubine Wei. The position is to deal with her carefully! As a result, the snake you released did not bite anyone else, but your own. Zhener, you are so confused!" Wei Ming sat on the chair in the secret room and patted the table angrily and said.
