Chapter 672

Wei Cen was completely stunned when he heard the guard's report that it was rumored that Su Chen's death was that he sent someone to commit suicide.

What is this?People do it at home, and disaster comes from heaven.

He originally thought about sending someone to assassinate Su Chen, but he later canceled it and didn't send anyone to do it.

Therefore, he himself couldn't figure it out, but now he was blamed for this, and he felt inexplicable.

Wei Cen frowned and said, "What's going on, who made this rumor? Why did this old man send someone to assassinate Su Chen? I didn't do this at all, and someone maliciously slandered him."

Chen Jue also frowned, looked at the guard of the Wei Mansion, and asked, "Have you ever found out who is spreading nonsense outside?"

The guard replied: "Right now, there are rumors spreading in the streets and alleys. Many scholars are filled with righteous indignation and are gathering. They are coming towards Wei's residence, and they seem to be making trouble."

"That's unreasonable! Immediately send someone to find out who it is who maliciously slandered the old man, obviously trying to make someone Wei take the blame." Wei Cen was furious, feeling very wronged.

Feng Yanlu said beside him: "This matter is no small matter. Originally, Su Chen's reputation was very high, and in the eyes of scholars, he represented a model of contemporary scholars, and he made sacrifices for the peace talks between Tang and Song Dynasties, which made people in Jiangnan and Tang feel that I feel sorry for him. At this time, if anyone is judged as the murderer of Su Chen, it will definitely arouse the anger of the crowd! This is why the old man stopped you at that time, and personally sent people to intercept and kill Su Chen. The matter is exposed, and if it fails, it will cause the upper body to be angered!"

Feeling innocent, Wei Cen picked up a cup of tea and drank a few sips, and said, "That's right, brother Chen Jue and I ended up with the canned food and gave up the plan of sending people to form Su Chen. Now he is killed by someone. , but people mistakenly think that I am the person behind the scenes, it is really annoying!"

"I'm afraid the rumour-mongers have other plans and ulterior motives." Feng Yanlu expressed his guess.

At this moment, outside the gate of Wei Mansion, many people shouted to seek justice for Su Cheng.

"It was Wei Cen, an old man, who sent someone to kill Su Chen. He committed a heinous crime."

"Wei Cen is one of the five ghosts of the current dynasty, harming Zhongliang, harming the country and the people, and ransacking his family."

"The treacherous official Wei Cen is heinous, return me Jiangzuo Shulang."

"Wei Cen, you old man, you are the one who killed Young Master Su, you are a traitorous minister"

These scholars and many common people in Jinling City kept shouting and crying louder and louder, gathering at the gate of Wei Mansion and knocking on the gate of Wei Mansion.

There are dozens of servants and guards in the Wei Mansion.They were all on the inside of the gate, and the gate was tightly closed to prevent hundreds of scholars and common people outside from making trouble outside his mansion.

Hearing these voices, Wei Cen's face turned livid with anger.

He didn't do this thing, but now he is being wronged and insulted like this, which makes him feel extremely aggrieved.

Chen Jue stood up and said, "Don't worry, I'll send people over the wall and call in the Jinwu Guards in the city to disperse these mobs."

Wei Cen nodded and said, "Then I'll have to thank Brother Chen."

Although Feng Yanlu is old, he is cunning, cunning, and scheming. He analyzed: "These common people and scholars may hear rumors for a while, lose their minds, and be bewitched. It's okay. After explaining to the world, people outside will suspend their suspicions. And slander, after all, the truth can’t be fake, and the fake can’t be true, if it wasn’t done by the Song people themselves, then it was done by other forces, and there will definitely be clues to find out the truth!”

"Brother Feng's words are reasonable." Wei Cen nodded, and he listened a lot to these enlightenments.

In the afternoon, Xu Xuan, Xu Kai, Gao Yue and other Sun Party officials were filled with righteous indignation after hearing the news that "Wei Cen was behind the murder of Su Chen", and their resentment towards Song Party Wei Cen, Chen Jue and others were overthrown. peak.

"It's too much. Su Chen has made so many contributions to our country of Tang. I feel sorry for him. Now he was murdered by Wei Cen, a treacherous minister, and died in Yangzhou. The crime is heinous. No, we should file a joint letter to sue him. Sue Wei Cen for murdering Zhongliang, and he should be charged with ransacking his home!" Gao Yue yelled angrily.

"Brother Gao, this crime alone is not enough to convict this uncle of the country. After all, Wei Cen's daughter is a concubine in the palace, and Wei Cen is a key figure in the Song Party. We won't be so accused. We can bring public anger, Encouraging Jinling scholars to go to the palace gate to petition the Qing emperor, and then using Wei Cen's killing of Su Chen as an excuse to destroy the peace and stability of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and punishing them with several crimes, can we pull Wei Cen from his official position and fall to the bottom!" Xu Xuan said seriously.

"What Master Xu said is reasonable, we will do it like this!"

"Su Chen was murdered, so God is jealous of a talent! I can't help him or save him. This time, let's seek justice for him, and we can really do something for him, so as to comfort my inner guilt. !"

"That's right, it's a pity that Su Chen was murdered to death by Wei Cen, a treacherous minister."

Xu Kai, Yan Xu and others also reached an agreement, and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to mobilize the Qing emperor's side against Wei Cen and others.

Dusk, Pan Mansion.

Pan You sent people to find some mainstays of the New Party, and Li Ping, Yin Chongyi, Chen Qiao, Zhang Ji, Gong Shenyi and others called the government to discuss.

Pan You opened the door and said, "You've all heard that Su Chen was killed this time, and Wei Cen sent someone to do it. This matter has nothing to do with Sun Dang."

Yin Chongyi was a little puzzled and asked, "Is the news accurate? Where did you find it?"

Pan You looked at Chen Qiao and said, "Private Envoy Chen, explain it to me!"

Chen Qiao nodded and said: "This is from the inside of the Song Dynasty. That night, many men in black entered the residence of the Song Dynasty envoys in Yangzhou, murdered and set fire to them. There was a wounded living assassin who confessed to the Song people. It was sent by Wei Cen to kill people, and one of the leaders was Liao Han, a general of Wei Cen's family, and the witnesses matched it, Wei Cen could hardly deny it."

Pan You said at this time: "I just heard that many scholars and common people in Jinling have gone to the palace gate to form an alliance to sue for impeachment. It is said that people from the Sun Party are also helping behind the scenes. Chen Jue and others are about to be impeached and sued, we must not miss this opportunity to attack the Song party and completely drive Wei Cen, Chen Jue, Feng Yanlu and others out of the temple."

Li Ping said: "Yes, this method is good. Since the members of the Sun Party want to attack the Song Party, we will also join in the concert at the appropriate time. Standing on the side of the Sun Party, we can jointly eradicate the Song Party. Among them, most of them are officials from our own country.”

Soon, these people reached a consensus that they would take the opportunity of Su Chen's murder to assist the Sun Dang and get rid of the Song Dang together. From then on, the court and China will be in the stage of competition between the two parties.
