Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 361 Dogs That Can Bite Don't Bark

"Uncle and Shen Mingyao are both on duty in the household department, and they have the same position. It is completely reasonable to be able to detect the abnormality of the other party."

The old man fully understood Su Yizhao's meaning, "Okay! If it succeeds, I will give the credit for this time to your uncle."

No matter how cautious Shen Mingyao was, not to reveal the slightest clue, they still had to find a way to expose each other's true colors.

If you can't find it, make it.

"Father! I think this matter can be considered again!"

Seeing that the two ignored him and made up their minds, Su Wenchun panicked.

"Okay! That's the decision. I'll wait for good news from you and Xiao Wu in the next few days."

Su Jinxun waved his hand, telling Su Yizhao to go back and have a good rest.

Su Wenchun and Su Wenzhou went out of the study room, still in a daze.

I shouldn't be in the study outside, this is not the place I should be, Su Wenchun thought so.

Su Wenzhou glanced at Su Wenchun, not knowing what to say.

After a while, he patted Su Wenchun's arm, "Brother! Promotion is just around the corner."

October [-]th was an ordinary morning.

As the weather turned colder, the emperor's energy became a little weaker, and he felt drowsy now.

He had a panoramic view of the demeanor of the ministers, and when he saw that there was nothing to play, he planned to retreat.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xing, the imperial censor of Zuoqian, came out and said loudly: "Report to the emperor! I have this performance!"

The emperor nodded casually, "Quite!"

"Your Majesty, it is conclusive evidence that the Jiangnan Shen family put their hands into the imperial court's purse. The Shen family colluded with the salt gang that sells private salt, and was reported by Su Wenchun, a household doctor. He and Yan Guang of the Jiangnan Salt Gang Collusion, taking advantage of the position, forming a party for personal gain, accepting bribes, and opening the door for Yan Guangda."

"The minister has already collected the criminal evidence, and I ask the emperor to have a look."

"I also hope that the emperor will immediately take the Shen family into custody, thoroughly investigate the Shen family, and quickly investigate and deal with the officials who have colluded with it, so as not to startle the snake."

The faces of all the people present changed, and the emperor suddenly woke up.

The chief assistant, E Chongming, was even more shocked. He couldn't help but glance at Lin Song who was not far behind him.

Seeing Lin Song's face full of shock, he suddenly felt bad.

"Submit it!" The emperor pointed to Xu Luo, the chief executive beside him, and asked him to present all the criminal evidence brought by Zhou Xing.

"Your Majesty, the Shen family is a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have always been clean. How could they collude with the Salt Gang? Could it be because someone framed them?"

Lin Song couldn't stand anymore, and immediately retorted.

"The lower officials have already ordered people to collect all the criminal evidence, and Cao Yushi, who is far away in the western capital, is also investigating the Shen family. He has already found a lot of criminal evidence, which happens to be connected with the capital. How could it be framed?"

Zhou Xing was very displeased. Who didn't know that Shen Mingyao belonged to Lin Song, and Lin Song had a close relationship with the chief assistant?

Even though Lin Song is his top leader, if he can be verified this time, it will be a great achievement.

The emperor had a sullen face, and after reading the memorial in his hand in detail, he glanced over the criminal evidence, and then took a deep look at E Chongming.

"E Chongming, Shen Mingyao has colluded with the Salt Gang for so many years. Hasn't he been mentioned in the memorials sent by the Jiangnan side? Why has this matter never been mentioned in the memorials sent by the cabinet? Is it the officials from the Jiangnan side? Negligence, or your chief assistant's dereliction of duty?"

The emperor didn't drink too much, but the direct attack was beyond everyone's expectation.

How much the emperor valued E Chongming these years can be seen from the authority of the cabinet.

This is the first time for such a severe reprimand.

All the ministers below had different thoughts for a while, and the court seemed to be about to change.

"Reporting to the emperor, I really don't know about this matter. Jiangnan and Xidu have never had enough memorials to impeach Shen Mingyao, otherwise the memorials would have already been submitted to the emperor's case."

After E Chongming was reprimanded by the emperor, his old face froze at first, and then he said: "I will definitely investigate thoroughly when I go back. If someone dares to conceal and destroy the memorial, I will report it truthfully."

The emperor snorted coldly, "Cabinet officials have rarely been transferred in recent years. I think they are all vegetarians, so let's not make a fuss."

This statement changed the faces of all the people present. Such harsh criticism made many officials feel ashamed.

All the ministers immediately knelt down and said in unison: "The ministers have wronged the emperor, the court, and the country! Please forgive me!"

The emperor glanced at these familiar faces. It has been too many years, and the layout of the court has remained unchanged, and many people have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

He was a little tired of seeing these people and wanted to see new faces.

"Where is Kang Shiwen, Minister of Dali Temple?" The emperor did not soften his face, and it was much more dignified than before.

"The minister is here!" Kang Shiwen immediately came out, he knew that the emperor was about to go to war.

"I ordered you to thoroughly investigate this matter, and temporarily put the Shen family in the capital under custody, and discuss it after the search."

"According to the order!"

"Retreat!"

Su Jinxun walked out of the hall with unhurried steps, and had already taken the first step. It depends on whether the future plan can be realized.

"It's just that I was negligent. You can jump over the wall when you are in a hurry! I underestimated your Su family before, and you have been unknown for so many years. Do you just want to wait for the younger generation of the clan to grow up?"

Su Jinxun lifted his hem and stepped out of the hall, when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

He turned his head to look and found that it was E Chongming, the chief assistant.

"A dog that bites doesn't bark."

E Chongming looked at Su Jinxun with eyes like a falcon. At this moment, he finally started to look squarely at the Su family, which he always thought was down and out.

On the night of October [-]th, the Shen Mansion in the capital was suddenly besieged by officers and soldiers from Dali Temple and Bingma Division.

This night, the lights inside and outside the Shen Mansion were brightly lit, and people nearby could still hear the screams and cries in the Shen Mansion.

It lasted for two full hours before the noise gradually faded away.Although it was calm, the place was still full of fire.

This night is destined not to be peaceful, and everyone in the court is waiting and watching.

And the people related to the Shen family were panicked for a while, and everyone was in danger.

Tonight's study outside Su's house was filled with tea and water all night. Su Bing went in and out, busy.

In the early hours of the morning, De Quancai hurried back to the study with a chilly air.

"Master, it's done!"

Everyone who was staring at Dequan couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, and the elder even wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

Even the old man was not spared, and finally walked to the desk and sat down.

"There should be news in the morning, and we will find out in the morning." The old man said in a deep voice.

Su Yizhao was the only one who wasn't nervous, and it could be said that he had achieved the point of being foolproof.If it doesn't work, it's God's will.

"Su Bing, change my clothes quickly, I will talk about other things when I come back."

After the old man relaxed, he realized that it was time for the morning court, so he ordered immediately.

Seeing that Su Yizhao got up and was about to leave, the old man couldn't help but said: "This is only half done, I'm afraid someone will pick peaches."

Su Yizhao turned around and smiled at the old man, "Lord Cao's secret letter should have arrived in the capital in two days. With his recommendation, the emperor will definitely consider it."
