The news that Mrs. Su was taken into the palace quickly spread throughout the city.

Lin Ji laughed happily: "The higher you hold, the harder you fall!"

He raised his hand to summon the disciples of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and told him to go to the Privy Council.

With the new emperor ascending the throne, many old affairs of the previous dynasty need to be settled, and many moths and ants that were well hidden during the old emperor's reign have been exposed to the sun.

One of the biggest cases was that the Ministry of Households colluded with insiders and outsiders to embezzle [-] shi of border military rations.

Dozens of high-ranking officials have been implicated in this matter, Huai Ziyu didn't show any sympathy, and at most spared women, children and children when they ransacked and beheaded all over the house.

The Privy Council went up to Datian and listened to the border, and there was a problem with the military rations, and the Privy Council couldn't escape the responsibility. This investigation found out that Ming Yang had written a wrong number in the documents handled by him.

He wrote "one" instead of "ten" in "allocation of [-] military pay", which is just such a sum missing. In this sensitive case, he has already been detained as an accomplice to corruption.

Ming Yang didn't notice it, and when he was taken away by the Ministry of Punishment, he shouted: "I'm Uncle Xiao Guo! How dare you touch me?!"

Inside the Heyang Hall.

Lin Ji held Ming Yang's criminal evidence in his hand, and knelt in front of Huai Jin: "Your Majesty, Ming Yang made many mistakes and omissions when he was serving as a clerk in the Privy Council, and he delayed the normal payment of tens of thousands of shi. I suspect that he is also one of the accomplices in the corruption case." !"

Huai Jin opened the incriminating evidence presented by Lin Ji, which recorded in detail that since Ming Yang was recommended by the Eastern Palace to serve in the Privy Council, within half a year, he made minor mistakes and made six major mistakes, all of which were suppressed by the Privy Councilor—this is naturally For the sake of the East Palace, Ming Yang made a mistake.

Now that Lin Ji has uncovered these faults together and dragged them into the corruption case, even if Ming Yang committed a stupid and unintentional mistake, he cannot be cleared of his suspicions, because the group of corrupt officials in the household department just used Ming Yang's pen The omissions in the room quietly corrupted tens of thousands of military pay.

Because Xi Qin was coveted by the Southern Kingdom, he has attached great importance to the construction of the border defense line for a hundred years. Corruption is a felony. Corruption in military pay, regardless of the mastermind and accomplices, should be punished according to the law.

It's just that among Ming Yang's nine clans, Ming Feiqing is included.

Huaijin closed the evidence: "I will reconsider this matter."

Lin Ji stood up and said, "Ming Yang flaunted the name of his uncle in the Ministry of Punishment, and was lawless. Among them, is there Ming..." He paused, and reluctantly changed his words, "Does the empress know about it and cover it up?" Ming Yang's crime?"

Seeing him being so righteous, Huai Jin almost thought that Lin Ji was so just and outspoken for the sake of the whole Xiqin.

He knew in his heart that Lin Ji, and even the whole Xiangfu, wanted to implicate Ming Feiqing in the dirty water of the corruption case.

Huai Ziyu inevitably thought of his previous life, Lin's party was also greedy and aggressive, but what about him?He even blindly ignored connivance, persuaded Feiqing to give up the fame that belonged to him, and made him suffer so much in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Ming Feiqing didn't die on the observatory. Before he jumped off the high platform, he had already been murdered by this group of people. The murderer included Huaijin.

Now, that group of people handed over the "knife" again.

"Lin Ji." Huaijin raised his eyes, turned the tip of the "knife" to the throat of the "murderer", and said coldly, "I didn't make you stand up."

Lin Ji was stunned for a moment, when Huai Jin's gaze made his legs soften, he knelt on the ground again.

Huai Ziyu looked down at him: "In the whole of Xiqin, only the queen can be exempted from the customary etiquette when she sees me. You are not worthy of the same privileges as the queen."

Lin Ji seemed to be humiliated, his eyes were slightly red, and there were faint tears: "Didn't your majesty say that I resemble him?"

"It's like him, it's like him, there's a world of difference." Huaijin said in a deep voice, "If this three-pointed image gives you delusions about replacing Fei Qing, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. It should be noted that your three-pointer like him has already saved your life several times invisibly."

During the three years when Ming Feiqing was trapped in the Southern Kingdom, Huai Jin once projected his thoughts on Lin Ji, who was somewhat similar to Feiqing.

It's like a person who loses his most beloved beautiful jade, and then thinks about it day and night, urging his heart and liver. When he is in a trance, he mistakes a smooth stone on the ground for a beautiful jade, picks it up and cherishes it for a short moment.

That year he was drunk and mistook Lin Ji for Ming Feiqing, but he sobered up in an instant, but Lin Ji seemed to be drunk for a long time and refused to wake up, so he took the initiative to show his favor.

Two years ago, Huaijin hadn't sent a few good brothers to Huangquan Road. He was besieged in the imperial city and was besieged on all sides. If he couldn't quickly become stronger and gain military power, he couldn't rescue Feiqing as soon as possible.

Lin Xiang's party was a very handy tool. He took advantage of Lin Ji's self-indulgence, used all means to embezzle power during those three years, and trampled under his feet the emperor brother who had harmed him.

Three years of hiding his strength and biding his time allowed him to fight against powerful countries on the battlefield and rescued Ming Feiqing.

At the moment when the beautiful jade is lost and recovered, the stone should retreat consciously, and should not think of being compared with jade.

Huaijin also reported back to Lin's party, it was because they were not greedy enough.

Lin Ji could have survived the rest of his life relying on this three-point resemblance, but he shouldn't have harmed Ming Feiqing.

At the moment Ziwei star fell, Huai Ziyu looked at Lin Ji as if he were looking at a stone.

At this moment, it is the same.

The thought of exile lingers in Huai Ziyu's mind. He knows that Lin Ji is a scourge, but he lacks a legitimate reason to convict and clear him.

He no longer gave Lin Ji a poor chance: "You step down, if the matter of Ming Yang is found out to be true, I will punish him severely, and the queen will not cover it up."

What else did Lin Ji want to say, but Huai Jin had asked Tian Bai to invite this person out.

When only Huaijin was left in Heyang Hall, he looked at Mingyang's evidence and let out a long sigh.

Although he knew that Ming Feiqing's introduction of Ming Yang to the Privy Council was a long-planned flattery.

But when it came to the step of "killing", Huai Jin didn't dare to do it - after all, he was Ming Feiqing's half-brother.

He was really afraid that he would make a mistake and make Feiqing sad again.

The king of a country does not dare to easily punish a low-rank official now.

At this moment, the chief eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Uncle Ming Guo had a quarrel at the Ministry of Punishment and said he wanted to see the queen."

The Ming family didn't dare to spoil in front of Huaijin, but they were very good at picking soft persimmons. Ming Feiqing was the one who spoke the best and was most likely to soften his heart.

As long as Ming Yang cries and calls "big brother" a few times, he can be cleared of all crimes, and Ming Feiqing who can't be cleared can take the blame for him.

Ming Feiqing was once kind to the extreme.

But now he has changed his temper.

Huaijin didn't know whether to be happy or sad - after all, he killed the pure and kind Qingqing with his own hands.

He didn't dare to make random decisions, so he said, "Let the Ministry of Punishments not have to take people too seriously."

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment who received the oracle had no choice but to turn a blind eye, and Ming Yang just got away with it, escaped from the prison and entered the palace.

Ding Shi also entered the palace with him.

"You remember to say more good things later, the only one who can save you now is Ming Feiqing."

"Mother, do you want me to kneel down and beg him? Scholars are always proud."

"Arrogance? What arrogance? My life is almost gone!"

Ding raised his hand to hit Ming Yang on the head.

Xichun who was leading the way at the front coughed lightly and reminded: "No noise in the palace."

Ding immediately lowered her eyebrows and looked at the scenery of the imperial garden quietly, amazed in her heart, the imperial palace is the imperial palace, such a good place, but it is cheaper for Su Qiu.

Arriving at Xinwu Palace, Ding was even more dazzled by the majesty and magnificence of the palace—did your lord build a palace out of gold?

You can earn hundreds of taels of silver by just picking up a tile and selling it.

After entering the inner hall, Ming Yang saw the tall brother.

He was dressed in black brocade clothes, sitting on the phoenix chair in the main hall, and the always gentle and friendly eyebrows and eyes in Ming Yang's memory had become alienated and indifferent.

"Brother..." Ming Yang was inexplicably frightened. He forgot all the "proud" and knelt down, "Brother, help me, the embezzlement of military pay has nothing to do with me, I really just wrote it wrong Just a few words, and they yelled at me..."

Ding also knelt forward and begged: "Brother Qing, I was disrespectful to you in the past. It was my fault that I didn't know Mount Tai. You can see that Ming Yang is your half-brother. , save him, otherwise he really only has a dead end!"

As if watching two clowns in a play, Ming Feiqing had playful eyes, wanting to see what the mother and son could do.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Mrs. Ding gritted her teeth and kowtowed: "I kowtow to apologize, please raise your hand and save Ming Yang! He is my only son!"

Ding's head was bleeding, but Ming Feiqing remained unmoved.

Ming Yang was anxious and fearful: "My mother kowtowed to you to apologize, what else do you want? Do you think this crime will only affect me? If you don't save me, just wait to see my father go to jail together Right! He is your own father! The whole Ming family will be ruined! One will be prosperous and one will be damaged, how many days will you be able to live a good life?"

"Tsk." Ming Feiqing suddenly laughed, but there was not much smile in his eyes.

"Ming Yang, now you can say something like 'one prospers all prospers one loses all'."

When Ming Yang framed him for treason in his previous life, Ming Feiqing thought he was just ignorant.

It turned out that it wasn't that he was stupid and ignorant, but that the knife hadn't been stuck in his body, so he didn't know it hurt.

"Not to mention that I don't care about my father's life or death at all. As a selfish and sentimental person like my father, if he knows that his concubine and concubine are dragging him down, he will definitely abandon his concubine and son immediately and cut off his tail to survive. How dare you still count on him? share trouble with you?"

Ming Feiqing really thought it was funny, when he laughed, it always gave people the illusion of a spring breeze.

Blame him for having a stunning face, no matter how hard he can pretend to be a threatening face, only a pair of smiling eyes with murderous intent make people shudder.

Only then did Ding realize that her death was imminent, she trembled all over, and looked up at Ming Feiqing: "You...you plotted? You just waited for this day, didn't you?"

Only then did she realize that something was wrong. Ming Feiqing so readily agreed to let Ming Yang take a shortcut to enter the Privy Council, which was still the most popular and important position.

I thought it was to help Mingyang get promoted, but I didn't expect that it was to make Mingyang eternal!

"Auntie, for embezzlement of military pay, the nine families should be punished. I just want to let you see your son's body decapitated with your own eyes, and then you will go to hell to accompany him."

Ming Feiqing looked at Ming Yang again, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and said earnestly: "Second brother, now you can personally understand what it means to be 'virtuous and uncoordinated, there will be disasters'?"

Outside the palace, Huai Ziyu, who had overheard everything, finally dared to make up his mind, and ordered in a low voice to Tian Bai: "Let the Ministry of Criminal Justice severely punish Ming Yang for corruption, and kill all those who are close to the Ding family."

If Ming Feiqing wanted to settle the debts of his previous life, Huai Ziyu was willing to use the emperor's monstrous power as his "knife", and would not let the dirty blood splash on Qingqing.
