Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 212 A Big Net

Jin Ying's feeling didn't come overnight.

In fact, since the emperor ordered him to hand over the East Factory, he had a vague premonition.

But in the end, he didn't do anything that was unfavorable to the emperor these days. On the contrary, he did his best.

So Jin Ying thought that even if the emperor wanted to touch him, he would not be in such a hurry.

But he never expected that this thunderous blow would come so unexpectedly!

That matter, in normal times, is just a trivial matter.

But falling on this court court, being hooked up by someone with a heart in this way is enough to make both him and Shi Pu lose.

All the trump cards have been lifted, and the following will naturally be a general duel with bayonets.

With a gloomy face, Yu Shiyue asked the commoner woman Luliu.

"Since you are a maidservant in Eunuch Jin's mansion, then I would like to ask you, what are you responsible for in Eunuch Jin's mansion?"

Luliu seemed a little scared, but she still opened her mouth and replied, "Go back to the lord, the women are in charge of serving tea in the mansion."

Yu Shiyue nodded, pointed at Shi Pu beside him, and said.

"You look up and look carefully. Have you ever seen this person? If so, when and where?"

Lu Liu boldly raised her head, followed the direction Yu Shiyue was pointing at, and saw Shi Pu's gloomy expression, staring at her expressionlessly.

That scarlet robe seemed to put a lot of pressure on Luliu, she didn't dare to look at it, so she lowered her head and said.

"My lord, my daughter met this lord on the night of the [-]th of this month, at about [-]:[-] pm, this lord brought a small box to visit Duke Jin's mansion."

"Nonsense, has the old man ever been there?"

As soon as Luliu's voice fell, Shi Pu stared at her and scolded.

"Bold girl, this is the emperor, and I am the second-rank minister of the imperial court. How can you allow you to slander me like this? Tell me quickly, who ordered you to frame me and Eunuch Jin?"

Lu Liu was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, lowered her head and dared not speak, her body was also trembling.

But Yu Shiyue took a step forward and said coldly.

"Shi Shangshu, you have overstepped!"

"Your Majesty has ordered me to preside over the court ceremony. As a suspect in this case, you are intimidating witnesses in the court. Based on this alone, I have reason to think that you are guilty of disturbing the court ceremony. !"

Shi Pu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and remained silent.

Why didn't he know that doing so was the next strategy.

But things have come to this, how can he have a second way?
As the person involved in the incident, like Jin Ying, he had already figured everything out when he recognized Luliu's identity.

Since the civil war, he has been trying his best to wash away his relationship with Wang Zhen.

After returning to Beijing, he put all his energy on dealing with this matter.

I thought, as long as they don't get proof, they can escape this disaster no matter what.

But who would have thought that Yu Shiyue had no intention of looking for any evidence at all.

Instead, he took a slanted sword and followed his actions after returning to Beijing!

In fact, there was no need for Yu Shiyue to say that Shi Pu's actions were too much like a guilty conscience.

As a result, although most of the ministers in the court didn't know what happened, they looked at Shi Pu with suspicion.

Gritting his teeth, Shi Pu said calmly.

"If you want to add a crime, why don't you have excuses? The old man and Jin Gonggong have already explained that the two of us were in our mansion on the [-]th day and night, but this woman talked nonsense, saying that she had seen the two of us before. Instigated, deliberately framed?"

Facing Shi Pu's rebuttal, before Yu Shiyue could speak, Lu Zhong who was beside him stepped forward and spoke.

"Shi Shangshu, whether this woman was instigated by others is hard to say, but you lie to deceive the emperor, but it is a certainty."

As he spoke, Lu Zhong took out a document from his sleeve and unfolded it.

"Jin Yiwei was ordered by the Holy Order to assist the third division in investigating Wang Zhen's case. I have long suspected you of Shi Shangshu. Since the day you entered the city, this commander has sent spies to station outside your residence."

"This is the itinerary document submitted by Jin Yiwei. It clearly states that on the night of the [-]th, Shangshu Shi went out from the side door of the mansion to Eunuch Jin's house."

"How many entourages did you bring, who were their names, where did they live, what kind of clothes, towels and hats you and them were wearing at that time, all of them are clearly written down, but I need the commander to spend a lot of effort to report to you You elaborate?"

Looking at Lu Zhong's smiling face, Shi Pu was so angry that his beard and hair all swelled, pointing at him, and shouted in disbelief.

"How dare you spy on this old man?"

The officials below also became suspicious because of this news, but this time, they were not because of Shi Pu, but because of Jin Yiwei.

Jin Yiwei has been very active in the capital recently, the courtiers are aware of this, but they only think that they are assisting the Sanju Department to handle the case.

But he never thought that Jin Yiwei was secretly monitoring the court officials.

Thinking of this, many ministers in the court broke out in cold sweat.

As Shi Pu is the Qiqing, Jin Yiwei dares to spy on him secretly, let alone other courtiers?

At the moment, there is a censor who wants to impeach him.

But this time, before they came out, they heard Lu Zhong speak.

"Shi Shangshu's words are serious. Jinyiwei has the responsibility of scouting. Although the commander has arranged spies, they only follow outside the mansion and have not violated the rules."

"What's more, for this spies deployment, I have informed the chief of the Department of Three Laws beforehand. This command envoy has documents signed by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple here. Can Shi Shangshu want to check?"

Since Lu Zhong dared to come to the palace, he was naturally prepared for it.

Jin Yiwei does have the right to supervise, but now it is not the time of Taizu, the court council still has to take it into account.

Therefore, he has long been angry with Sanfa.

With these few words, the courtiers barely calmed down.

As long as it wasn't Jin Yiwei's random surveillance, it would be fine.

The bosses only care about whether they will be targeted for no reason. As for others, let them die!
Seeing this situation, Shi Pu was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

He really did not expect that Jin Yiwei, who has always acted only according to the order of the emperor, would actually talk about the rules this time.

Sensing the dazzling gazes around him, Shi Shangshu's back felt a little chilled.

Until now, he finally understood that it was not a knife that was thrown at him, but an invisible large net.

It seems that there are loopholes everywhere to escape, but when the net is tightened, it can strangle people to death!

Regardless of the ashen-faced Shi Pu, Yu Shiyue continued to ask Lu Liu.

"Go ahead and tell me, what was in the small box brought by Shi Shangshu when he visited Eunuch Jin's mansion, and what was the situation at that time?"

Seemingly feeling that the person she was afraid of had already gained the upper hand, Lu Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, summoned up some courage, spoke again, and said.

"Back to the old man, there is a row of gold ingots in the small box. When the girl was serving tea, the lord said, 'A mere hundred taels is not a respect, please accept it with a smile, Eunuch Jin'."

The voice fell, and there was an uproar below.

Hundreds of taels of gold are worth Shi Pu's salary for the past two years. Although most officials at his level do not live on their salary, this is not a small sum.

With such a large amount of silver, and the secret delivery late at night, coupled with Shi Pu's denial just now, it's hard not to make people think about it.

Regardless of the voices of discussion below, Yu Shiyue stepped forward and continued to ask as calmly as possible.

"What else, did you hear what the two of them talked about?"

Lu Liu kowtowed and said.

"After the women served tea, Eunuch Jin dismissed the serving servants, leaving only two accompanying maids to serve."

"However, they talked for nearly half an hour. The middle girl went in to refill the tea once, and heard the adult say, 'There are traitors in the court who want to harm my position, please ask Jin Gonggong to deal with me. If I am safe, there will be someone Many thanks'."

There is no need to say anything else, as soon as this sentence came out, Shi Pu's face turned pale, and he almost fell to the ground, his mind was full of two words.

Finished!
