Zhang Han stopped in front of the palace and did not speak.

Hundreds of forbidden soldiers stood in awe behind them, making the three servants tremble with fear.

The people outside the palace also stopped to watch, guessing the purpose of the imperial army's coming here. "Your Majesty won't want to raid the prime minister's mansion, will he? Could it be that Prime Minister Wang is also a corrupt official?" "No way, Prime Minister Wang usually has a pretty good reputation as an official."

"Hmph, you know people, you know your face, but you don't know your heart. Who knows what scandalous things he did in private at 16. If he didn't do bad things, why would the emperor send the imperial army to arrest people?"

The people onlookers were talking a lot, and the fishing boat had dispersed.

The news spread quickly in the imperial city, fearing that in a few hours, it would be reported that Wang Hongxuan was corrupt and perverted the law, and the emperor confiscated his family and punished the nine clans!

Three people become tigers, no matter how this matter develops in the future, Wang Hongxuan's reputation has already plummeted.

Wang Hongxuan hurried over from the mansion and was shocked when he saw Zhang Han standing on his horse.

Zhang Han is the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army. This time he came in person, it must be the emperor's intention.

The sky is falling!

This was Wang Hongxuan's first reaction. "General Zhang Han, long time no see."

Wang Hongxuan stepped forward to meet Zhang Han and bowed his hands in salute.

Zhang Han returned the salute with his fists clasped, and said calmly: "Prime Minister Wang, the general came here to arrest someone according to the order. He will offend you so much, so I ask the Prime Minister to make it easier for you." Who is it?" Zhang Han said expressionlessly, "Xiang Wang's grandson, Uncle Wang Tianyou!" When Wang Hongxuan heard this, his head buzzed, and he exploded into a mess on the spot.

He suddenly felt dizzy and his body began to sway.

If it weren't for the servants behind him to help him, Wang Hongxuan would have been lying on the ground. "May I ask General Zhang Han, what did the grandson of the lower official commit?"

Wang Hongxuan covered his head, looked at Zhang Han and asked questions, with longing in his eyes.

Zhang Han shook his head, "This last general doesn't know, I only know that His Majesty wants to take the country's uncle Wang Tianyou."

"Prime Minister Wang, it's better to hand over Wang Tianyou, don't let the last general use force, otherwise it will hurt face and make no one look good." The reason why Zhang Han didn't go directly to the mansion to arrest people was to give Wang Hongxuan the last bit of dignity.

Anyway, he is still Prime Minister You!

Wang Hongxuan's face was cloudy and uncertain, he was silent for a moment, then he suddenly yelled, "Come on, bring that rebellious son out!" The left and right servants had never seen such a furious Wang Hongxuan, and they didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurried back to the mansion.

After a while, a young man with a flushed face was dragged out.

He was ninety percent drunk, his eyes were hazy, he couldn't even stand still, and he might fall asleep on the street without his servants to support him.

Seeing Wang Tianyou's appearance, the surrounding people all showed disdain in their eyes.

Promoting prostitution during the day and getting drunk, he really doesn't look like a direct descendant of the prime minister's family.

Wang Hongxuan also blushed, feeling dull.

Zhang Han glanced at Wang Tianyou and smiled sarcastically, "Prime Minister Wang, there is something I want to remind Prime Minister Wang that lax parenting can sometimes lead to serious disasters." After speaking, Zhang Han waved his hand and ordered indifferently. , "Come here, take Wang Tianyou away!" Two guards stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right to set up Wang Tianyou.

At this moment, Wang Tianyou finally came to his senses. He squinted his eyes and found himself being held between two soldiers. "Let go of me, do you know who I am?" Wang Tianyou swung it vigorously, but he didn't shake off the iron hand of the imperial army.

Wang Tianyou became angry from embarrassment, and immediately yelled, "Do you know who I am? I am the grandson of the prime minister and the uncle of the court." "My sister is His Majesty's favorite concubine, even if she is His Majesty..."

With a slap, a loud slap hit Wang Tianyou's face, and directly knocked out one of his teeth.

Wang Tianyou was so drunk that he dared to say anything outrageous.

He dared to speak, but Wang Hongxuan did not dare to listen.

Talking about the emperor behind his back is a crime of disrespect and will implicate the whole family.

After being slapped by Wang Hongxuan, Wang Tianyou finally woke up and saw clearly who the person in front of him was. "Grandpa." "Nizi!"

Wang Hongxuan's eyes were like tigers, staring at Wang Tianyou, trembling with anger.

He wished he could kill Wang Tianyou now. "General Zhang Han, take him away."

Wang Hongxuan sighed deeply, and with the weight on his back, he felt suddenly lost in spirit and looked 20 years old.

Wang Tianyou was dragged away by two guards in a daze, and he finally saw the current situation clearly.

I will be captured by the imperial army. "Grandpa, grandpa, save me!"

Wang Tianyou yelled, crying bitterly, "Grandpa, you have to save me." Hearing Wang Tianyou's cry, Wang Hongxuan felt desperate.

What can he do?This is His Majesty's will, can he resist it?

Watching Wang Tianyou being taken away by the forbidden army, Wang Hongxuan's expression darkened, and he said to the butler behind him, "Get ready, I'm going to the palace to meet the saint." The servants behind him didn't dare to delay, and quickly prepared a sedan chair for him.

When Zhang Han personally took action to arrest Wang Tianyou, two other forbidden troops rushed into the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to arrest people.

There were 19 people from the Ministry of War and 13 people from the Ministry of Industry, a total of 32 officials, and all of them were arrested.

When officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry saw the appearance of the imperial guards, they all knew that something serious had happened.

Many officials felt uneasy, for fear of being implicated by the arrested officials.

You know, what His Majesty likes most today is implicated people, one person commits a crime and kills ten people.

They are officials in the same place as the arrested person, and they have more or less connections.

Once implicated, at least one's future will be ruined, demoted to common people, and at worst, one's head will be beheaded directly, or even one's family will be ransacked.

"Your Majesty, people have been arrested."

In the Royal Study Room in the Imperial Palace, Zhang Han replied to Shang Guanlin.

"It's just that Wang Tianyou is very drunk and smells of alcohol. I am afraid that he will pollute the imperial study, so I ordered someone to take him outside." Hearing this, Shangguanlin laughed mockingly, "Preaching prostitution during the day, drinking and having fun Well, this old fellow Wang Hongxuan's family education isn't very good." An understatement of words, but full of murderous intent.

For Wang Tianyou, Shangguanlin did not intend to forgive him.

Although he valued Wang Hongxuan very much, he also loved Concubine Shu Wang Qingling very much.

But as an emperor, you can't be influenced by your emotions, the law is merciless.

Wang Tianyou committed the crime of reselling arms and he must die. No matter what, he has no way out.

Li Si and Zhang Han who were present did not dare to answer, but just stood with their heads down.

As courtiers, if possible, they would naturally want to say something nice for Wang Hongxuan and beg for mercy.

But this time, they dare not intercede.

Whoever intercedes will die!

Suddenly, Shangguanlin said, "Does Concubine Shu know about this?"

When the eunuch Wang Wen heard it, he immediately responded, "Return to Your Majesty, I probably don't know."

Ever since Shangguanlin took control of the palace, the harem has been completely prohibited from colluding with courtiers.

Even the concubine's relatives are not allowed to enter the palace without a will.

So Concubine Shu is still ignorant of this matter. "Send someone to inform Concubine Shu." "No."

Shangguan Lin said: "Send someone to inform Concubine Shu." "No."

Wang Wen went out and whispered a few words to a young eunuch, who immediately ran away and rushed towards the harem.

Just as Wang Wen wanted to go back to the imperial study, he happened to see Wang Hongxuan rushing over. "Your Majesty, Lord Right Chancellor Wang Hongxuan is asking for an audience outside the door." "Tell him to come in."

When Wang Hongxuan entered the imperial study, he immediately saw the emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

The emperor's face was expressionless, his expression was hidden, and he couldn't see any happiness or anger.

"Criminal Wang Hongxuan sees His Majesty, long live my emperor." Wang Hongxuan came to Shangguan Lin and kowtowed.

Shangguan Lin didn't let him flatten his body, but let him kneel like this. "Wait a little longer and see who else will come." "No."

Wang Hongxuan wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, feeling uneasy.

If the emperor was furious, then Wang Hongxuan might feel better.

What he fears most is that the emperor is as calm as he is now.

The calmer the emperor, the angrier he was.

Once the anger erupts, it is not as simple as just killing a person.

The fate of the Wang family is likely to be full of family members, and the nine families will be exterminated!

After a while, concubine Shu Wang Qingling also arrived.

Like Wang Hongxuan, she also knelt in front of Shangguanlin. "Wang Hongxuan." "The minister is here."

Shangguanlin looked at Wang Hongxuan with meaningful eyes, "I guess you still don't know what your grandson did?" "Li Si, tell him." "No."

Li Si cupped his hands to answer, then looked at Wang Hongxuan, and said quietly.

"A month ago, when the lower officials checked the arsenal, they found that a large number of weapons and equipment were missing."

"Although it is a defective product eliminated from the front line, the quantity is too large. If it falls into the hands of someone with a heart, it may be enough to use for rebellion." "So the officials did not dare to be careless, and quickly launched an investigation."

"At the end of the investigation, it was discovered that the mastermind behind the secret sale of arms was Wang Tianyou." "What? This is impossible!!!"

Wang Hongxuan and Concubine Shu Wang Qingling turned pale with shock and quickly denied it.

They can't afford this crime. Selling arms is a crime of treason, and they will punish the nine clans. "Don't worry, Prime Minister Right, first listen to the officer's words."

Li Si continued: "The lower officials found out that Wang Tianyou colluded with many officials from the Ministry of War to smuggle out the defective weapons eliminated from the front line."

"These smuggled weapons were all eventually sent to the iron mines under the name of the right minister, where they were resmelted and forged into fine iron, and then sold back to officials of the Ministry of Industry for personal gain." "Although he did not resell the weapons To the enemy country, but the crime of stealing and selling arms is already a capital offense.”

"Today, all 32 officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry have been arrested and brought to justice. People from the Criminal Ministry are interrogating, and the confession will be released soon." "If the right minister does not believe it, Wang Tianyou is outside, and you can find out if you ask."

After Li Si finished speaking, Wang Hongxuan's body went limp and he slumped on the ground, only despair remained in his heart.

The same is true for Concubine Shu Wang Qingling, Dou Da's tears welled up in her eyes, and the trickle didn't stop.

What Li Si said was clear and logical, and all 32 officials were arrested. The emperor obviously had a plan in mind.

There are all witnesses and material evidence, so Wang Hongxuan can't help but not believe it.

He is very clear about the emperor's way of doing things. Before arresting people, he must have all the evidence to make the world speechless.

From the moment he ordered Zhang Han to arrest him, there was no room for change in the case. "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty, please forgive me!"

Wang Hongxuan bowed down loudly, knocking his head on the marble floor.

With a bang, Wang Hongxuan's forehead was ripped open, and blood spurted out.

Concubine Shu Wang Qingling also confessed to Shang Guanlin, "Your Majesty, this concubine knows that my brother's crimes are unforgivable, but for the sake of this concubine, please forgive me." "I beg Your Majesty."

Concubine Shu Wang Qingling kowtowed again and again, her delicate forehead was soon bloody. "Wang Hongxuan, you are the right chancellor, so you must be familiar with the law of the apocalypse, right?" Shangguanlin looked at Wang Hongxuan, and said in a deep voice, "What kind of crime is reselling arms?" According to the law..." Wang Hongxuan couldn't continue when he said this.

Shangguan Lin snorted coldly, "Go ahead, what should I do according to the law?"

"According to the law, the principal offender shall be put to death immediately, exterminating the nine clans, and all the accomplices shall be severely punished, all the nine clans shall be punished, and they shall not be pardoned."

"Yeah, so it's very difficult for me now."

Shangguan Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold light shining in his eyes, "Wang Hongxuan, come and teach me, how should I deal with your Wang clan?" Wang Hongxuan felt sad when he met the emperor's indifferent eyes.

He knew that the emperor had made up his mind that Wang Tianyou must die.

The emperor is in trouble now because of him and Concubine Shu.

Although they didn't know about this case, they must die according to the law.

Now the emperor wanted to spare them their lives.

But he had to give the emperor a plausible reason.

This reason must convince all officials and the people of the world.

Wang Hongxuan gritted his teeth, and hissed: "Return to Your Majesty, my minister Wang Hongxuan is guilty, and his family education is not strict, which caused today's disaster."

"The guilty minister Wang Hongxuan found out that the guilty minister's grandson, Wang Tianyou, was reselling arms and conspired against him. Now he is willing to be the first to sue. I hope that your Majesty, for the sake of righteousness and killing relatives, will spare the net and save the last blood of my Wang family." Wang Hongxuan said. He raised his head in Nabai, knocked his head to the ground and never raised it again.

When Concubine Shu Wang Qingling heard this, her eyes were full of disbelief.

She never expected that Wang Hongxuan would say these words.

Only Shangguanlin and Li Si nodded secretly in their hearts.
