Fate with you

Mu Sheng has been restless these days.Now the eyes of the court and the public are all fixed on Jiangnan, and so is she.Meng Xiuyi seemed much more relaxed, but it was just a superficial appearance, just looking at the two spots of black and blue under her eyes, one could tell that her mind was heavy.

After that day, the two still got along like that, but when they looked at each other, they would be reluctant to move away until one of them reacted, driving the other to turn away quickly as if being stabbed by a needle, and then each couldn't help but lightly. Laughing, it seems that there is a tacit understanding that has never existed before.

The medical book that Mu Sheng wanted to study had just finished screening, and when she started to write, she kept adding new, unexpected content. The content was so huge that she had to stop, and she was going to reclassify it according to internal injuries. Subjects such as trauma, pediatrics and gynecology are further subdivided.

This incident took away a lot of her energy, and she worked hard in the political affairs hall. Bachelor Meng relied heavily on her, and after Cui Yunji went to the south of the Yangtze River, she took special care of her.

The capital is like a pool of temporarily quiet stagnant water, everyone is waiting for the news of Meng Youshu, the news will definitely cause an explosion like cold water dripping into hot oil.

However, what people never expected was that before Meng Youshu's news came, the superficial tranquility could not be maintained.

One and a half months after Meng Youshu left Beijing, in the early court, the Dengwen drum suddenly rang!

The hall was quiet for a moment, and the monarchs and ministers suddenly looked out of the hall. It was a rare good day for more than a month. The only thing I could see was the vast blue sky, such a clear color without any impurities, but for no reason, it made people feel as if they were dyed. Scarlet blood.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, the guards dragged in a man covered in dust.According to the law, those who hit the Dengwen Drum and report to the imperial costume must first receive twenty sticks to show their sincerity.The man's gray cloth was already stained with bright red blood.The guards dragged him into the hall, and he struggled to stand up, knelt down on the ground as straight as he could, and said weakly, "Hai Ding, magistrate of Chen Haining County, pays homage to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live long."

It was an official.

The hall was silent, Meng Xiuyi's eyebrows twitched, and he asked in a deep voice: "Haining County is severely affected by the disaster. As the head of the county, how can you ignore the victims and rush to Beijing!"

Hai Ding raised his head abruptly, his expression was angry, his lips trembled, and he shouted loudly: "I am here for the innocent victims!"

After Hai Ding finished speaking, he gasped for breath, and bead-sized beads of sweat fell on his forehead.The angry shouts hit the hearts of everyone in the hall like a hammer.

Meng Xiuyi stood up, looked straight at Haiding through the radiant twelve o'clock, and said, "What do you want to play?"

Pei Bo'an hooked the corners of his lips, showing a cold smile, and glanced at Hai Ding, full of sarcasm.

Meng Xiuyi glanced at Pei Boan's expression from the corner of his eye, and his heart skipped a beat. His mind suddenly thought of something, and before he could speak, he heard Hai Ding say loudly, "I'm not only here for the innocent victims of disasters, but also for The treacherous imperial court is here!" Panting heavily, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed straight at Pei Bo'an who was standing at the head of the group of officials, his eyes were as sharp as a sharp sword, and each word was sharp, "Zhongshu ordered Pei Boan to do this for you!" For selfish interests, he instigated the officials to blow up the dams, causing floods, making the people homeless, corpses strewn across the fields, and countless people drowned and starved to death!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a gasp of air-conditioning, and then all the officials discussed.

Wenshu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came out with a wat, and said righteously: "This person slandered the important minister, please issue an imperial edict to punish him!"

Then a large number of courtiers seconded.

Meng Xiuyi looked around the group of officials in an unclear manner, and finally landed on the calm Pei Boan. Pei Boan slowly raised his head, then lowered his head with eyebrows drawn together.Meng Xiuyi turned his gaze away, looked at Haining who was not in the slightest panic, and asked, "Is there any evidence?"

"Of course there are, how dare I slander Mr. Zai Shou." Hai Ding said half-sarcastically, he lowered his head, trembling his hands, and took out a letter from his chest.

Meng Xiuyi raised his chin, and the servant next to him quickly walked down the steps, took the letter with both hands, and presented it in front of Meng Xiuyi.Meng Xiuyi took it with a blank expression.The letter was opened, and upon opening it, it was written by Pei Bo'an himself, and the recipient was Cui Hao, the governor of Lin'an County. bit.

"The minister's administration is near Shuishui, and the dam is on the shore of Shuishui. It was hot and sleepless that night. I thought of the heavy rain for several days. I didn't know how the people on the riverside were, so I went to inspect it alone. I was just about to break the dike that Cui Hao led people to blow up. Once the dam was destroyed, the river flooded the farmland and villages, and the formerly rich land instantly became a hell on earth. The minister was shocked by what he saw, and knew not to startle the snake. No matter how angry or sad, he endured it and waited for Cui Hao to ask The chiefs of the counties and counties went to Lin'an to discuss the matter of water control, and I managed to steal this letter, hoping to bring the culprit to justice and give justice to the people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang!"

Haiding articulated clearly, and suppressed great resentment in his seemingly calm description.

So well-founded, everyone in the hall was speechless for a while.Pei Bo'an took a step in an orderly manner, and said: "Your Majesty, what this person said is only the words of a family, and it is not enough to win the trust. As for that letter," he smiled faintly, "I write countless official documents every day, and it is not easy to imitate my handwriting." It's hard, the letter is a fake."

Hai Ding glared at him angrily: "There is an adult's private seal below, which can also be denied!"

Pei Boan calmed down and said, "Writing can be faked, so private seals can also be faked."

This is strong words.Hai Ding was so angry that his face was flushed, he coughed again and again, and almost wanted to vomit blood.

Meng Xiuyi clenched his hands under his sleeves into fists, and was about to speak when Pei Bo'an bowed and interrupted her: "My lord, please punish this person severely, lest slander and slander become commonplace."

Meng Xiuyi's face was calm, and the corners of her long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly. She said in a deep voice, "This matter needs to be investigated..."

Half of the ministers in the hall suddenly knelt down: "Minister, please punish this person severely, lest slander and slander become commonplace!"

Holding the letter paper trembling with anger, Meng Xiuyi looked around the hall and engraved on his heart one by one the ministers who were kneeling on the ground.Seeing this, Lu Ping, Minister of the Household Department, raised his head and asked the emperor what he meant. Meng Xiuyi met his gaze and shook his head almost imperceptibly.Swallowing back all the words he wanted to support Haiding, Lupine stood still with his head bowed and eyebrows raised.

Pei Bo'an spoke again: "Your Majesty, please issue an edict."

Meng Xiuyi said in a deep voice: "The situation is still unclear at the moment. I don't want to chill the hearts of the nobles, and I don't want to kill a good man in vain, so I will put Hai in jail and put him in the Dali Temple prison. I will do it again when things are clear. judgment."

"Your Majesty!" The ministers kowtowed again.

Meng Xiuyi sneered: "So impatient? Lord Huai'an is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the truth will be revealed soon. Could it be that all the ministers can't wait for this time?"

This was already a sign of anger, all the ministers knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty calm down."

Meng Xiuyi turned his eyes away and looked at Pei Boan.

Pei Bo'an flicked his sleeves, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he took a step back appropriately: "I will follow what Your Majesty said."

In this confrontation, the emperor showed his disadvantage.Hai Ding, who has been silent since the end of the statement, endured the severe pain on his back at this time, kowtowed and said: "I am going to the palace today, and I don't want to get out of my body. I just want to hear the truth and seek justice for the people in the south of the Yangtze River." A man is mortal, so what is the life of a minister to cherish? What fear is there in being taken by thieves? In the underground, the minister is still a minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, the parents of the people! I implore Your Majesty to bury my bones in the land of the south of the Yangtze River, so that I will have no regrets in this life!"

What he said was his last words, and every sentence was full of loyalty and righteousness.There were already ministers in the hall who bowed their heads and wiped away their tears.

Meng Xiuyi had no expression on his face, and he didn't answer a word. With a wave of his hand, a guard stepped forward and grabbed Hai Ding's shoulder, dragging him out of the hall.

Hai Ding was not afraid at all, and scolded loudly: "Heaven will punish those who trap the people to death! Pei Bo'an, you will die without a whole body, and you will be cursed by all the people!"

The anger of wanting to get a piece of meat from Pei Bo'an lingered in the hall for a long time, making all those who helped the evildoers feel terrified.

The atmosphere in the hall was very heavy, and all the officials were afraid that the fire Haiding lit just now would burn themselves.But Meng Xiuyi suddenly smiled, looked at Pei Bo'an and said, "Pei Qing, there is no need to worry. You are an innocent person. I will give him justice and I will not let you be wronged. Whatever you did in the past, you will still do what you will do in the future. There is no need to worry about it. "

Pei Bo'an smiled slightly, bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Meng Xiuyi fixedly looked at his slender and elegant figure, patted the case, and said, "Retire!"

As soon as he returned to Weiyang Hall, Meng Xiuyi sat on the couch without saying a word.Her liver hurts with anger!

The palace people around did not dare to make a sound, but it was Mai Rongen who had the courage to step forward with a cup of ginseng soup, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it is important to take care of yourself."

"Hmph!" Meng Xiuyi sat up all of a sudden, took the ginseng soup and drank it all in one gulp, and said loudly, "Min Chinan, a member of Xuanzhong Shushe, Ren Xu, Minister of Dali Temple, is here!"

Mai Rongen breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and stepped back to pass on the message.

It was not long before the palace and the palace knew that the emperor had announced to see the Minister of Dali Temple. From this point of view, it should be His Majesty who wanted to protect Haiding.

When Pei Bo'an heard about it, he smiled.When Dali Temple Minister came out of the palace, he heard the report from his subordinates that Hai Ding "suicide in fear of crime" in prison.Dali Siqing suddenly covered in cold sweat, he was also present in the early morning, so he naturally knew the importance of Ren Xu, when he suddenly heard the news of his death, his world was spinning and he was almost dizzy.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the staff next to him hurriedly helped him, and then Dali Temple Minister regained his composure and said, "Take me to see quickly."

Hai Ding died in the big prison, he was thrown into a rope, and the rope he used was made of torn bedding.The minister of Dali Temple judged the case arbitrarily, and while he was busy ordering him to conduct an inspection, he led people to investigate the scene.

He looked around carefully over and over again, for fear of missing any clues, and then asked his confidant to stay on the scene.After Wu Zuo reported to him: "Except for the strangle marks on the neck, there are no other wounds, and there is only one wound on the neck, which can rule out being strangled to death before hanging on the beam. The deceased was indeed hanged to death."

Dali Siqing pondered for a long time before entering the palace again.
