Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 136 The thief shouts to catch the thief
Wang Mang also knew that in the face of the situation at that time, not to mention Hua Mingyue and Sister Hua, even Wang Mang would definitely spit out everything he had to say, and there was no need to risk his life for others.

But understanding is understanding, things happened to him, Wang Mang can't pretend it didn't happen, and the clay figurine is also a little bit angry, if he doesn't have any anger, wouldn't he be too weak.

A big battle broke out in Xinyang City, and the streets were obviously much colder. Everyone in Xinyang Ling Lu Yuan's mansion also lived in seclusion. After one night, Wang Mang sat in his room refreshed. When he closed his eyes, he became conscious instantly. It is connected with the doll far away in Chang'an.

In the imperial study room, all officials stand in civil and military positions.

Deng Fang glanced at Wang Mang, who was sitting high on the dragon chair with an expressionless face, and sang loudly: "The morning court starts, if there is something to do, start playing, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court!"

Li Si, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, came out in a row and said loudly: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, the Ministry of Criminal Justice hastened to eight hundred miles away. A brutal case occurred in Xinyang County. The bodies of more than [-] people were found in Langdong Mountain near Xinyang City. , This is the worst case that has occurred in the imperial court in recent years, I ask Your Majesty to order a thorough investigation!"

As soon as Li Si's words fell, the entire court was buzzing. After all, not everyone is well-informed. Many people were shocked when they heard the news for the first time. They died 30 times at a time. Many people, this is a super big case.

There were also well-informed people who sneered and didn't care. They already knew about this and who died. A group of bandits died as soon as they died. There is nothing to investigate.

But there are also those who want to use this to make trouble. For example, Wei Changhong, the envoy of the Chang'an River, stood up with a sneer and said, "Li Shangshu, your news is outdated."

Wei Changhong was originally the river envoy of the capital, but now he is the river envoy of Chang'an, the first of all the river envoys in the world.

As soon as Wei Changhong spoke, all the officials turned their heads, probably because everyone knew that Wei Changhong's Hedao Yamen and the Six Departments were not on the same road, and Wei Changhong never spoke in the court. Hit the west side of the west and come out.

Li Si's expression turned cold, he stared at Wei Changhong and said, "I don't know what advice Master Wei has?"

"I can't talk about teaching, but as far as I know, there is more than one appalling thing that happened in Xinyang County." Wei Changhong said coldly: "Yesterday, there was a big battle in Xinyang City, and Xinyang ordered Lu Yuan to lead people to besiege Xinyang. The family of Yan Hao, a well-known local gentry, rose up to resist, and actually defeated the Xinyang Order. At this time, someone stepped forward, rescued the Xinyang Order, and killed Yan Hao's family. In this battle, the people of Xinyang were killed and injured. , this matter has nothing to do with the matter of Langdong Mountain, it can be said to be a case."

Wei Changhong's voice fell, and the court hall was full of voices. If they didn't know that this place is an important place for the court to discuss matters, the officials might be completely agitated.

Wang Mang glanced at Wei Changhong coldly, raised his eyes to signal Deng Fang, who immediately shouted: "Be quiet!"

As soon as Deng Fang's words fell, the voices of the officials became much quieter, but they continued to whisper to each other consciously. With a wave of Deng Fang's hand, a group of Jinyi guards appeared at the entrance of the court with knives in an instant. Quiet.

Dali Temple Minister Shen Buhui stood up, frowned and said: "Master Wei, I don't know where you got the news from?"

"It was reported by Wang Wengui, the envoy of the Weishui River." Wei Changhong snorted, turned to look at the officials and said, "My lords, Wang Wengui and I reported something else. The news is just incidental. Everyone knows, except for the wolf In addition to the Dongshan tragedy and the Xinyang City tragedy, is there another appalling incident that happened in Xinyang City?"

Zhang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, couldn't stand still, looked at Wei Changhong and said, "Master Wei, be careful!"

"You're being bullied to the door, so how can you be careful?" Wei Changhong said loudly, "My lords, just the day before yesterday, an incident that was one of the few that happened in Xinyang County since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty happened. Under the circumstances of the decree, a fourth-rank official of the imperial court was placed under house arrest. The preparation said that Xinyang ordered Lu Yuan to put Wang Wengui, the river envoy who went to Xinyang on official business, under house arrest. My lords, please comment on this kind of thing. This kind of thing happened in the Great Qin Dynasty. , what does Lu Yuan want to do, is he trying to rebel?"

Xinyang ordered Lu Yuan to put Wang Wengui, the river envoy who went to Xinyang on business, under house arrest?rebel?

As soon as Wei Changhong said this, Lu Bowen, the representative of the Pingyao Lu family in the court hall, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, couldn't stand up anymore, stood up with a pale face, pointed at Wei Changhong and said, "Wei Changhong, you are so bloody!"

"I'm spitting blood?" Wei Changhong laughed loudly and said, "Lu Bowen, is what I said true? If you ask Lu Yuan directly, you will naturally know. Wei Changhong never tells lies!"

"You..." Lu Bowen pointed at Wei Changhong, furious, but he also knew that Wei Changhong would not dare to speak nonsense above the court, so he couldn't refute for a while.

Now Lu Bowen only wants to leave the court quickly, he has to write Xinyang and ask what happened.

House arrest of a court official, and even his own superior, is not a small matter. If it is carried out, dismissal and resignation will be trivial. If it is serious, it will be a matter of life.

Wei Changhong snorted coldly at Lu Bowen, turned around and bowed to Wang Mang, and said, "My minister, Wei Changhong, please issue an order to force Xinyang Commander Lu Yuan back to the capital for questioning!"

The eyes of all the officials immediately turned to Wang Mang. Wang Mang glanced at the officials, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes. He looked at Wei Changhong and said, "I remember that some time ago, Cai Guohua, the county magistrate of Xiacai County, made Wang Wengui corrupt in the Weishui River, causing the entire All the river projects in the Weishui River Basin are all bean curd dregs projects, is the Wang Wengui imprisoned by Lu Yuan you mentioned the Wang Wengui impeached by Cai Guohua?"

After Wang Mang's words fell, Wei Changhong's complexion changed, and he said awkwardly: "Returning to Your Majesty, the two are indeed one person, but the so-called corruption of Wang Wengui, which caused all the river projects in the entire Weishui River Basin to be tofu projects is purely nonsense. The Yamen has been found out, and His Majesty is about to be played, and in addition, the minister also wants to play Cai Guohua for trapping the ministers of the court!"

"Is that so?" Wang Mang looked at Wei Changhong calmly.

Wei Changhong quickly nodded in agreement, but Wang Mang closed his eyes and did not speak.

Shang Yang has been paying attention to Wang Mang's expression, and when he saw Wang Mang's eyes closed, he immediately came out and said, "I don't know what Mr. Wei said has been found out. Who and what government office investigated it?"

Wei Changhong narrowed his eyes and looked at Shang Yang with a frown. He had no intention of being an enemy of this Shang Yang who has been in full swing recently, but what the other party said in front of him was not what a friend should say.

"Master Wei, it's hard to say?" Shang Yang said again.

Wei Changhong's face flashed with anger, and he said: "Since the Hedao Yamen has found out, what's wrong with Mr. Shang?"

"Hahaha..." Shang Yang laughed out loud.

"Shang Yang, why are you laughing so loudly?" Wang Mang opened his eyes and looked at Shang Yang. Only Shang Yang was smiling.

Shang Yang bowed and said: "I have never heard the truth of a thief calling for a thief!"
