Thank you sir, he is still outputting!

With Zeng Cheng secretly protecting Xie Zhao, Xie Zhao is not in danger of life for the time being.

But Xie Zhao, who hurried back to the capital to report what he saw and heard in Quzhou, didn't know that the capital was already in turmoil at this time.

The enemy hidden in the dark has shown its sharp claws, and he is not the only prey.

Looking at the court in mid-November, it seems that there is no difference from every morning court in the past.

There are work report results, and there are reports of impeachment everywhere. Of course, the vast majority of people keep their mouths shut and silent as always, quietly waiting for the morning court to end.

All in all, the early morning of this day is reassuringly similar to the past.

For the vast majority of officials, no change is the best status quo.

——It's a pity that these officials are still going to be disappointed today.

Wan Xu, who was dressed in a blue official uniform and had narrow eyebrows, slightly curled his thin lips, lowered his head and showed a faint smile.When he raised his head again, he had already returned to his usual indifferent expression.

After Pei Shulin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, reported the price of the materials of the imperial mausoleum after repairing, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief after receiving Qin Houde's nod of approval, then bowed and returned to the queue.

But the moment he stood firm, he saw a person standing out from the queue of officials from the Ministry of Industry behind him.The man was handsome and tall, and he was Tanhua Lang Wanxu who had just become a member of the Ministry of Industry not long ago.

Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, had something to report, but Pei Shulin, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, didn't know anything about it, which made him feel a little unhappy.

It's just that Pei Shulin couldn't drag him back now that he was in the court, so he could only frowned and looked at Wan Xu closely, guessing in his heart what Wan Xu was going to play.

"Wailang, a member of the ministerial department, today I have a memorial to submit to the Holy One."

Wan Xu stood in the center of the hall without haste.As a sixth-rank official, he can only attend court meetings for two days a month, and he doesn't have many chances to go to court, let alone to play the book in front of all civil and military officials and the Holy Majesty.

But Wan Xu, who was making his debut in front of so many high-ranking people for the first time, acted too calmly.All the different sights from all directions gathered on him, but his brows were as steady as Mount Tai.

Pei Shaonan looked down at the queue, and Wan Xu's calm and calm voice was next to his ears, and suddenly felt his left eye twitch.

He thought of what Xie Zhao said before he left, and his expression was a little heavy for a moment.

[I think Cheng Wang seems to think highly of him. ]

Xie Zhao's words were still in his ears, Pei Shaonan raised his head and glanced at the back of Cheng Wang in front of him, gradually a little unknown worry grew in his heart.

Qin Houde also has an impression of Wan Xu, a young man.

It's not for any other reason, it's purely because Wan Xu looks good.

On the day of the imperial examination this year, Xie Zhao, the number one scholar, and Wan Xu, the Tanhua man, stood together, making the second place in their thirties stand indifferent. The contrast was so strong that Qin Houde was really impressed.

Qin Houde felt strange: In this imperial examination, except for Xie Zhao, everyone else went to the Imperial Academy honestly. How come Wan Xu climbed so fast, and now he is a member of the sixth-rank Ministry of Industry, Wailang?

Qin Houde barely raised some interest, and said to Wan Xu below: "Tell me."

I thought it was just a trivial matter, but listening to Wan Xu's unhurried words below, the corners of Qin Houde's slightly raised lips flattened a little bit.

He was holding the dragon chair tightly with his right hand, and his face was already gloomy.

Wan Xu lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt in the hall.

Holding the wat board, he met Qin Houde's gaze without dodging: "The person I want to impeach today is Lin Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the name of the impeachment is——"

Wan Xu's eyes were deep, and he said word by word: "Private, hidden, military, weapon, intention, desire, conspiracy, rebellion!"

When the word "rebellion" was uttered, Wen and Wu of the Man Dynasty immediately raised their heads in shock, and looked at Wan Xu in the palace in panic.

You must know what impeachment is for improper style of work and corruption. The officials who are impeached will at most end up taking off their hats and going home.But if you put the crime of treason on someone else's head, this is no longer an attempt to cut off a person's career, but an attempt to destroy the entire family!

People in the world often say that the ten evils are unforgivable, and the ten evils list ten serious crimes of treason, treason, treason, treason, immorality, disrespect, filial piety, disharmony, injustice, and civil strife.

Rebellion is listed first, which shows the seriousness of the situation.

Qin Houde, who was at the top, hadn't said anything, but the officials below had already knelt on the ground.

Everyone's heads were slamming on the ground, and they couldn't stand up. The cold sweat of many people had already soaked the clothes on their backs, and the hand holding the wat board trembled.

Some people have already begun to hate Wan Xu: This little Yuanwailang has done something wrong, but he wants to be impeached like others!It's okay to impeach other names, but I still have to pick the most weighty one.

Shizhong and Yushi didn't impeach him, why did Yuanwailang come out so self-righteously!

Why are young people nowadays so hot-tempered and courageous?

Wan Xu, who impeached others, became the calmest person.

As if not aware of the people kneeling behind him, he turned his head to look at Lin Ying who was still standing there silently, and suddenly asked, "Master Lin, does the Feihe Villa in the west suburb of the city belong to you?" under the name?"

Lin Ying stood in place holding the wat board, not looking at Wan Xu or Qin Houde.

He stood up straight, lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Yes."

"There is nothing wrong with that."

After getting the expected answer, Wan Xu's eyes showed satisfaction.He turned his head and looked at Qin Houde far above, and explained: "A few days ago, a small official from the Ministry of Industry was ordered to repair Mr. Lin's villa, but accidentally found a lot of weapons in the cellar."

Wan Xu concealed his sharpness, and pressed him step by step: "According to Article 17 of the Dayu Law, anyone who violates the regulations and secretly hides weapons is considered treason, and the crime is the same as treason—I don't know that Lord Qin, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, There are so many weapons hidden in the cellar, what is the purpose?"

Lin Ying rolled up his sleeves, with a smile on his face, as if he had heard a joke.

He calmly retorted: "May I ask Master Wan, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, I have no military power in my hands, so what's the use of hiding weapons privately?"

Lin Ying's words also expressed the doubts of others.

Yes, Mr. Lin is just a civil servant.It is reasonable for other military officers to hide weapons privately. He is a civil servant with only a few guards and servants under his command. What is the use of these weapons?

Could it be that this Yuan Wailang was entrusted by others to deliberately frame Mr. Lin?

Facing the suspicious eyes from others, Wan Xu didn't panic at all.

He smiled lightly, although his tone was not heavy, the words he said caused the whole court to fall into a complete dead silence.

Wan Xu said: "But as far as I know, although Master Lin does not have military power, he is very close to the generals of the Sixteenth Guards - I heard that when you held a banquet for your birthday this year, the generals of the Sixteenth Guards Going to celebrate your birthday?"

As soon as the words "Sixteen Guards" came out, there was finally a crack on Lin Ying's calm face.

It is true that he has no military power, but the sixteen guards who control the security of the capital do have soldiers under their command.The sixteen guards are related to the safety of the capital, and they are also responsible for the safety of the Holy Majesty. Wan Xu's intention to associate him with the sixteen guards is really sinister.

The relationship between the generals of the Sixteenth Guards and Lin Ying is indeed good, or more precisely, there are very few people in the court who have a bad relationship with Lin Ying.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion and relegation of officials. Besides, Lin Zheng is a veteran minister for many years and is deeply trusted by the emperor.The generals of the Sixteenth Guards can achieve this position, so they are naturally good at being human. When they meet Lin Ying's birthday, they naturally want to show their hearts.

It is obviously a normal bureaucratic relationship, but under the current environment, it seems ambiguous.

This Wan Xu is really good at confusing eyes.

Lin Ying has been up and down in the officialdom for many years, and he never imagined that he would be offended by a junior now.

He sneered, knowing that it was useless to justify this matter.They put all the weapons in his village, and pulled out the banner of colluding with the sixteen guards for rebellion. What they did was just to drive him into the dust in one fell swoop.

At this moment, all the officials in the court fell to their knees, except Lin Ying.

He stood on the spot, holding the wat board tightly in his hand, his back straightened.Thin lines extended from the corners of his eyes. He raised his chin with a straight face, stood stubbornly on the spot, looked at Qin Houde above him, and said word by word: "If you don't do something, I won't admit it!"

Qin Houde looked at him, speechless.

The monarch and his ministers have worked together for many years, and Qin Houde naturally knows Lin Ying's personality.It's just that Wan Xu's accusation is too big now, and there are too many people involved. Sitting in this position, he has to give his own response.

Thinking of this, Qin Houde suddenly loosened his grip on the dragon chair.The voice was a little hoarse: "Until the matter is not resolved, the generals of the Sixteenth Guards and Lord Lin are invited to stay in the court for a while."

Looking around below, he finally set his sights on one of them.

Qin Houde rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "Let's leave this matter to the Ministry of Punishment."

When Lian Song received the order from above, although he was a little surprised, he quickly regained his composure.He made his position very clear, the struggle of those big figures above had nothing to do with him, all he needed to do was obey orders.

So he led the people from the Criminal Department to the Zhuangzi in the western outskirts of the city. After entering the cellar, he found a lot of weapons.

There are swords, contradictions, axes and hammers, eighteen kinds of weapons, everything.

Lian Song asked people to put away all the weapons and count them clearly.

Just as I put the things in the box and was about to carry them away, suddenly a subordinate came over with several letters, and said to Lian Song hesitantly, "Master Lian, we found this from the study..."

Lian Song frowned, took the letter and opened it.

He scanned these letters at a glance, and his brows gradually frowned: the person who wrote the letter thanked Lin Ying for sending him the map of the city, and thanked Lin Ying for taking care of him, expressing that he would support all his decisions.

This person's signature is a word of thanks.

Among all the officials in the capital, there is currently only one whose surname is Xie.

Lian Song put the letter back into the envelope, and suddenly felt that one trap after another, everyone seemed to be treated as puppets on a string, and could only follow the steps of that person step by step.

This trap is not clever at all, but it involves treason, even if they know it is a trap, they can only step on it.

"This letter seems a little strange."

The subordinate cryptically expressed his thoughts and asked, "Master Lian, what should we do?"

"What else can be done?"

Lian Song Gujing's expressionless eyes caused waves.He strode out of the cellar with steady voice: "Of course I went to Mr. Xie's residence to have a look."

Fu Ling was in the house when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside.

He raised his head, and saw Qi Lan running in in a panic.Qi Lan ran fast, with sweat on his forehead. He was holding on to the door frame, and after taking a breath, he shouted: "Your Highness, people from the Ministry of Punishment are going to search Sir Xie's house!"

Search Xie Zhao's house? !

Fu Ling's heart skipped a beat: "Why did you search Mr. Xie's house?"

"It is said that Lord Lin and the Sixteen Guards, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, were planning to rebel against each other, and the people from the Ministry of Punishment found Lord Xie's letter in Lord Lin's village." Qi Lan guessed: "There must be someone who wants to take advantage of Lord Xie's absence and intends to give him a letter." He's charged!"

It was still cold outside, but Fu Ling didn't care about it.

Hearing this, he didn't even put on a coat, and didn't tie up his hair, and just walked out of the house quickly.When he rushed to the gate of Xie's house, he happened to meet Lian Song who led the people there.

Before Fu Ling could think, he had already stopped Lian Song.

He stood in front of the door with frosty eyes, preventing Lian Song from going any further: "This is Mr. Xie's private house, why are people from the Ministry of Punishment so overbearing that they can break in without authorization?"

Lian Song recognized him and stood still.

He looked directly at Fu Ling, and said indifferently: "The Ministry of Punishment is doing business, please don't interfere with the third prince."

Although Qi Lan only said a few words, Fu Ling was clever and quickly guessed that someone must have led the Ministry of Justice to come here.What's more, since that person dared to let the people from the Ministry of Punishments find Xie Zhao, it was naturally because he had hidden some so-called evidence in Xie's house.

——Therefore, these people must not be allowed in.

It is now the end of autumn, and the autumn wind is bleak, bringing coolness.

Fu Ling's clothes were thin, facing the guards of the Ministry of Punishment with serious faces and long swords in front of him, but he was not afraid, and looked coldly.He met Lian Song's eyes without timidity, and smiled coldly: "What if I insist on interfering?"

"Since you insist on getting involved, please forgive me for your offense."

Lian Song sighed lightly, and commanded his subordinates expressionlessly: "It's cold outside, come and 'invite' the third prince back inside."

Seeing the guards gradually approaching, Fu Ling's face changed, and he was about to continue to say something, but suddenly he smelled the smell of burning wood.

Lian Song seemed to realize something, and his expression instantly became a little ugly.

He didn't say anything to Fu Ling, he stepped forward quickly, raised his foot and kicked the door hard.When he saw the scenery behind the door, even Lian Song, who has always been calm when things happen, couldn't help being stunned.

The raging flames rose from one part of the house and began to spread unscrupulously. Wherever it went, the house was devoured.Billowing thick smoke rose slowly. Although they were separated by a certain distance, Lian Song still asked about the choking smell produced by the burning wood.

The few remaining servants in Xie's house were fighting the fire, but due to the small number of them and the fierceness of the fire, the effect they played was really a drop in the bucket.

The house is almost gone, how can this search be carried out?

Lian Song stayed where he was for a while, but he could only turn around and say to his subordinates, "What are you still doing, hurry up and help put out the fire!"

Only then did the subordinates come to their senses, and they hurried into the courtyard one after another, carrying buckets to put out the fire.

Fu Ling on the side was also a little puzzled about the fire, but thinking that the fire might burn up all the evidence against Xie Zhao, he couldn't help applauding secretly, thinking that the fire came in a timely manner.

In a corner that no one saw, Liao Qingfeng climbed over the wall of the backyard.

He threw away the fire folder in his hand, brushed off the dust on his shoulders, and returned to his usual serious appearance of the Jinwu Guard.Finally, looking at the burning house, Liao Qingfeng murmured: "Xie Zhao, Xie Zhao, having a brother like me is really a blessing for you to cultivate in eight lifetimes."

The Jinwu Guard is one of the sixteen guards, and now that the sixteen guards are involved, it is naturally inconvenient for Liao Qingfeng, who is the Jin Wu Guard, to intervene in this matter.

But after getting the news, Liao Qingfeng couldn't just sit idly by. Seeing that the people from the Ministry of Punishment were about to break in, he became ruthless and simply set fire to the house.

Seeing the growing fire, Liao Qingfeng touched his nose and said guiltyly: "This is the first time I set fire, it seems that the fire is not under control... If it really burns down the house, Xie Zhao won't blame me, right?"

As if thinking of something, he loosened his brows: "Hmph, I've helped him so much, if he dares to blame me, I'll scold him for revenge."

After finishing speaking, he smiled in relief and strode away.
