Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

While investigating Qing Miao Village, Xie had already sent the news back to the capital in time, and the emperor issued a secret decree to arrest the Gu family and secretly bring them into the capital.In the face of indisputable evidence, the Gu family simply admitted the whole thing, and it was indeed the historian who supported the Gu family before they reached this point step by step.

This case has not been handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Huan Chang is still there now. Yuan Chun of Jia's family has entered his backyard. I heard that life is not bad, and a father will not take it so leniently, but Jia Yuanchun has a grandmother. He is also a historian, so the emperor has to be more cautious.

The emperor looked at the confession letter in his hand, and the Gu family pointed out that when the two historians were fighting in the southwest more than ten years ago, they got acquainted with the Gu family. The head of the Bai family at that time was not capable, and they could take advantage of this loophole to get a share of the pie.

At the beginning, it was just a small fight. Although the historians were known as the four major families, they really couldn't afford a lot of money at that time. Later, the third child of the historians went to the Southwest to do business, walking around places like Guangdong, They began to have some spare money in their hands, and their hearts became bigger and bigger. They wanted to be able to suppress the Bai family and dominate the family in Qianzhou.And there was a news in the Miao Village that they discovered that there was a secret passage in the mountains, which made everyone think about it, whether they could use this secret passage to do something that is shady, but they can get money right away matter.

They thought of counterfeiting silver. The process was not smooth. Silver casting and counterfeiting required technology, and they needed someone they could trust.After five or six years of groping, the fake silver taels that can almost be confused with the real ones can be seen now.Not long after the good times, the old Patriarch of the Bai family died, and the later Bai Baiji was a tough opponent, and he was almost discovered by him several times, which made the Gu family tremble.Counterfeiting silver taels in Daqing is a serious crime that involves ransacking the family and exterminating the entire family. They have been doing it for more than a year, and the amount of fake silver that has flowed out of their hands is unclear.

When I was about to discuss with the third son of the Shi family what to do, I didn't expect that he would be killed by thieves in Baoding. They have always been in contact with the third house of the Shi family, and they didn't have much contact with the first house and the second house. Let the Gu family make the decision, if it is discovered, it will be a grasshopper on a rope, and no one can escape.

So the Gu family got in touch with the boss of the Shi family. After the other party knew that the Bai family was in the way, he put forward the idea of ​​not doing anything, and simply made them never open this mouth.If there is no Bai family, then Cangliu Village can only cooperate with the Gu family, isn't it all done.

Computing with the people in Miao Village, it really is such a thing, just do what you say, but at this time the old housekeeper of the Bai family knew about the fake silver taels by accident, and the other party just guessed that it was related to the Gu family Regarding the matter, when the Gu family learned that he had not had time to report to Bai Baiji, they immediately set up an ambush on the official road, so that the old housekeeper would never be able to speak.

But God's will is unpredictable, but Xue Pan and the others passed the official road that day, accidentally entered the secret road in the mountain, and found out what happened later.

The emperor put down the confession in his hand, he clenched his fists and coughed hastily, but he felt the fishy smell gushing from his throat.He took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, but there was a smear of blood on it.He tossed the handkerchief into the small stove aside and watched the flames engulf it, thinking about his own body that time seemed to be running out.This made the emperor who had been in power for decades tremble in his heart, but he breathed a strange sigh of relief.

"Go and bring those two from the historian." The emperor shouted out of the hall, his usual calmness had been restored in his voice.

"Your majesty, my lord..."

Before they could finish saying hello, the emperor said 'snap! ' Throwing the booklet in front of them, "I can live forever, you don't have to worry about it, just take a good look at this thing! You two are really brave enough!"

The two brothers looked at each other, and a lot of guesses flashed in their hearts. There was news from the Gu family in the previous stage, saying that the matter might have been discovered by the Bai family, but the Bai family did not have such a way to reach out. Listen to God, they all planned to kill people to silence them, so it's possible that they were really exposed.

The two of them flipped through the folder without saying a word, the more they looked at it, the more trembling their hands became, the cold sweat on their backs had already soaked their clothes, how could it be that after a New Year's Eve, things had come to this point.The Gu family didn't have any reservations about this, and they explained every detail of their transaction clearly, and there was no possibility of getting rid of the crime.

There is only one thought left in the minds of the two Shijia brothers, they are really playing this time, there is no possibility of turning over, it is about seven or eight million taels of silver, the emperor will never let them go.At this time, they complained about the dead third child. If he hadn't acted carelessly, procrastinated, and was killed in Baoding, the connection with the Gu family would not have been broken for a while.And time waits for no one, and the changes here may be avoided.

The emperor looked at these two pale people. They looked like they had no intention of repentance at all. Thinking of the panic and commotion caused by those fake silver taels that flowed into nowhere, he wished to put these two people together. It was solved by pulling it out, but the matter was not so easy, and the group of veterans would inevitably intercede.

Who would have thought that Shi Nai would say as soon as he opened his mouth, "Your Majesty, the humble minister will be punished for his crimes, but the taels of money here are not right. The Gu family didn't give that much at all. This 100 million taels of silver is not taken by the humble minister! Please, Your Majesty." Mingcha—”

"Might check! You guys remember very clearly how much money you have taken in your hands!" The emperor read the Gu family's confession letter, which contained detailed information on the transfer of money, and looked at the appearance of the two Shi family brothers, but it was not a fake. Maybe there is something hidden in it.His temples ached just thinking about it.

Shi Nai and Shi Ding knelt on the ground and only hoped that the emperor would judge them lighter if they knew that they took less, but they also knew that even if the death penalty was escaped this time, the good old days would never come back.

The next day, in the early morning, the emperor announced the crimes of the historians to the public, but he only concealed the amount of silver taels that were still doubtful. The way they act is really funny. "Everyone, you've heard it too. The Gu family has pleaded guilty, and the silver taels have been seized from the Shi family's house. Then tell me how you should be convicted."

The ministers below, the first thing that comes to mind is that Shi Ding had saved the Holy Majesty on the battlefield, but looking at the emperor's appearance, I am afraid that the fake silver case made by the historian this time will make the past holy family disappear.It is useless to say that the Shi family is useless, how could such a person get all the stolen goods, they want to ask for mercy, what to say, don't remove the titles of the two Shi families.Ah!It would be nice to be able to save my life this time. This is millions of taels of silver, and it was privately minted counterfeit silver. I really dislike that my life is not long enough to do such a thing.But you can't just watch them die.

"Your Majesty, in the case of the historian, the crime was unforgivable, but please remember that you have made great contributions in Shihou, so let's deal with it lightly."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please take it lightly!"

Many of the ministers below have friendships with the four kings and eight princes. After all, they have been struggling in Daqing's officialdom for decades.The emperor saw these people begging for mercy for the historian, and his heart didn't fluctuate at all.He is old, these people are old, it is time for a change.

Just when the ministers below noticed that the emperor was silent, he suddenly looked at Xie Chang, "Third brother, what do you think?"

Xie Chang smiled wryly in his heart. This question is really troublesome. Originally, after the prince was abolished, his life was pretty good, and he thought that he could reach his goal step by step, but this time the emperor did not hesitate to move the historian, and Without revealing anything in advance, he knew that things were probably going to be bad.

Xie Chang thought that among his brothers, that is, he had a relationship with the historian, no wonder his father would ask such a question.Intellectually, he knew that such a case would not be a pity to die, but if he really said that, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the veterans?What's more, the historian is implicated in the Jia family, and the Jia family is also implicated in the Wang family. This link is really troublesome.So after thinking about it, Xie Chang said, "Father, the crimes committed by the historians are very involved, but the historians have also made contributions to Daqing. I also ask the father to look at the credits of the historians in the past. die."

The emperor looked at Xie Chang, as expected, there is nothing wrong with pleading for historians, if Xie Chang didn't do this, it would be out of his nature.But this also made him see clearly that these veterans are really a bit restrained, and it seems that the situation is more difficult than he thought.

That being the case, he really needs a heir who can be ruthless. Maybe it's time to put that matter on the agenda. The historian's case is just his throwing stones to ask for directions.

"Okay, you all said that the historians have made contributions, and I haven't forgotten their achievements on the battlefield. It's just that the merits and demerits cannot cancel each other out. The impact of the fake bank case has spread to several provinces in the southwest. I don’t know how many people will be harmed by the fake money flowing out, and the whole Daqing will be implicated. If today’s sentence is light because of the historian’s past achievements, then who among you will be responsible for the people!”

The emperor almost didn't ask, who of you will make up for the lost silver here, and when you face the subsequent turmoil, are you going to pay your own money to clean up the mess for the Shi family?

Come on, at this point, the ministers below know that they can't help the historian this time.The emperor is not a good-tempered person. In recent years, he has not been as ruthless as he was when he was young, but he will not be influenced by others.After reading the historian, it is a certainty that it is finished.

Sure enough, the emperor convicts the historians and others. Shi Nai and Shi Ding are the main culprits in the counterfeit silver case.And in order to cover up the crime, they wanted to kill people and silence them, and created the Leimingshan official road boulder case, resulting in 700 deaths and 34 serious injuries.Several crimes were punished together, and the participants of the Gu family were sentenced to death. Shi Nai and Shi Ding seized their titles, demoted them to common people, and exiled the other participants in the case for 29 years in northern Xinjiang.

The rapid decline of historians was beyond everyone's expectations, but in the face of conclusive evidence, no one dared to say no.In the blink of an eye, there was only the third of the four major families. Not to mention how sad Jia's mother was, Shi Xiangyun's upbringing fell to Jia's family. Shi Xiangyun's parents were also guilty in this case.The emperor is still kind, thinking that they will not pursue them after they die, and let the child Shi Xiangyun go.However, no one else can control her life in Jia's house.

What really caught the emperor's attention was the missing money.After the Shi family brothers pleaded guilty, the head of the Gu family committed suicide in prison. His death brought the matter to a dead end.The money that the historians confiscated and their own accounts showed that the money did not fall into the pockets of the historians, but the Gu family insisted that the money was handed over to the historians. Now that the head of the Gu family has died, there is no evidence to prove it, and the investigation is unclear.

The emperor looked at the map of Daqing hanging on the wall, and his eyes were fixed on Guangxi. It was hard for him not to suspect that the Prince of Nan'an had no involvement in this matter.Although historians can be regarded as everyone in Daqing, they don't have so much energy in the southwest of Qianzhou.There is probably a second person behind the Gu family, but at this juncture, the head of the Gu family died.If a few days later, the conviction came down, he would certainly die, but at this time, he committed suicide in order to cover up some unexplained truth.

At night, Xi Yan intercepted a letter. He opened the letter, which contained a warning to the king of Nan'an County, "Hehe, interesting, really interesting! I said that no one is simple, but it's a pity that the letter came into my hands. , keep it the same, how can I be worthy of my craftsmanship."

He glanced at the man in black, but in a strange tone, he happily praised, "You did a good job!"

After Xie Yan finished speaking, he took out a blank piece of letter paper and wrote a letter with completely different content, indicating that there was nothing to worry about in the capital. It seals, "let it go where it's supposed to go."

After watching the man in black leave, Xun Yan wrote the word "five" on the white paper. This time, he regarded him as doing a good deed every day and helping Xun. He evoked a meaningful smile, I really want to see what his fifth brother can turn Daqing into.

The matter in Qianzhou was then taken over by Xie Min. This person is young and has just arrived in his thirties. He is a rare friend who has friendship.The meaning of the emperor sending him is intriguing, but there is no time to delve into the meaning, there are still many things to deal with.Because Xie Min and Xun are good friends, with Xun as the middleman, the relationship between the government and the Bai family and Miao Village is no longer at a loss, and I don't know where to start.

Xie and Xue Pan stayed in Qianzhou. The impact of the counterfeit money cannot be resolved overnight. It will take at least a few months for them to recover the counterfeit money.During this process, the government gradually infiltrated the jurisdiction of the Miao villages, because the principals of the two major Miao villages were all implicated in this case, and the chieftain was also the perpetrator, so the rights of the Miao villages were inevitably redistributed.

After the emperor understood Xie's idea of ​​reforming the native land and returning to the natives, he asked Xie Min to follow this pace of doing things. First, he lured them to benefit, and reached a mutually beneficial cooperation with the mature seedlings.After a few years, the cooperation between the two sides gradually deepened, and they started to remove the chieftain's post, and then infiltrated into the seedlings, and finally achieved the reform of the land and return to the local people.

This process may take a long time, but right now, when there is no leader and everything is waiting to be done, it is the best time.

For this reason, Xie Shi and Xue Pan also made a lot of efforts behind the scenes, including Wei Ruolan, who has always been out of tune.Today, Wei Ruolan told Xue Pan and Xie that after going through these things, he wanted to be a different person so that he could marry Bai Baizhu from the Bai family in a dignified way.

"Are you sure you want to join the army?" Xue Pan looked at Wei Ruolan, "This is not a trivial matter, you should see the situation clearly, the balance between the court and the king of Nan'an will always be broken, I don't know when, A war is inevitable."

Wei Ruolan has changed a lot during the time she and Xue Xun were together. He no longer had the smile of a playboy, but said seriously, "I don't want to live in the shadow of the Wei family for the rest of my life. The incident made me understand that nothing can last forever, and I don't want to be just the third son of the Wei family. I'm still young, so I should be a useful person."

Wei Ruolan was shocked by Xue Pan and Xie Shi. Seeing how they dealt with the affairs of Qianzhou with ease, he reflected on his own life. In addition, the Bai family and the Wei family discussed his marriage, which gave him an epiphany. You should be a useful person yourself.After he got engaged to Bai Xizhu, in order to protect the Bai family, or to prove himself, he could no longer dawdle.Relying on the family relationship, he entered the military camp, but he wanted to make a good achievement.

Seeing his persistence, Xue Pan knew that he had made up his mind. In fact, there was nothing wrong with it. A man should take responsibility, "If you make up your mind, I will support you. However, we will part soon. , Brother Wu and I are going to Bashu, so it seems we can't see you off."

Wei Ruolan is a little sad, they have been together for almost two years, Xue Pan is a peaceful person, chatting about some interesting topics from time to time, and Xun looks indifferent, but he is also a caring person, this time we don't know when we will see each other again.

Seeing his sad look, Xie patted him on the shoulder, "Mo Chou has no confidant in the future, and no one in the world knows the king."
