Monument Yangmen

Chapter 609 Confession
The eunuch took out a memorial from his cuff and handed it to Shen Lun, "Your Excellency is really good, corruption and bribery are fine. But it's too much to ignore human life. The worst thing is to be caught by the censor got the handle.

Today, the evidence is all there.This makes His Majesty, it is very difficult..."

Shen Lun flipped through the notebook and said tremblingly, "I know Erlang well, and Erlang will never do such a thing that ignores human life."

"Hey hey hey..."

The eunuch smiled softly, "Mr. Shen, this person will change. In the past, the noble young master was by your side, and you watched him, so naturally he didn't dare to mess around. But without your restraint, the noble young master is like the one who has fallen into the water." No one can predict what kind of waves the fish can stir up..."

"you……"

Shen Lun trembled all over, his face was pale, and he fell into a dilemma for a moment.

Based on Shen Lun's many years of experience in politics, he is [-]% sure that his son did not do the dirty things in the memorial.

However, as a father, when facing the life-and-death issue of his son, even the slightest doubt would be infinitely magnified in his heart.

During Zhao Guangyi's reign, not during the reign of his sons and grandchildren, the civil servants had not yet controlled the government, the punishment could not be a doctor, and it was just a title.

Except for some veteran ministers with outstanding merits, what happens to civil servants after they are convicted depends entirely on Zhao Guangyi's mood.

Although Zhao Kuangyin erected a monument in the Taimiao, it clearly stated that he would not kill scholar-bureaucrats.

But who is Zhao Guangyi?

Even Zhao Kuangyin is very likely to die in his hands, how could he obey Zhao Kuangyin's words?
The life and death of his son is in his own hands, Shen Lun is very difficult.

Save or not?
To be saved, one has to go against one's conscience.

If you don't help, can you just watch the white-haired man send the black-haired man?
Shen Lun was struggling and suffering in his heart.

There are many examples of killing relatives righteously in history, but Shen Lun couldn't do it.

Those who can kill relatives righteously are strategists who attach great importance to reputation. In their eyes, status and reputation are more important than anything else.

Shen Lun is different. After resigning from all positions, he is a famous teacher and a kind father.

Fatherly love is great.

It is so great that even when they know they have been deceived, they will fall into the scam without hesitation.

Shen Lun collapsed on the ground dejectedly, and asked in a daze, "What does Your Majesty need me to do to spare Erlang's life?"

The eunuch smiled with satisfaction: "Shen Xianggong is indeed a person who has served as a political advisor. Your son is truly blessed to have a father like you."

"Say it quickly! Otherwise, if the old man changes his mind, he will hand you over to Yang Yansi."

Shen Lun suddenly broke out and roared at the eunuch.

The eunuch's face changed, and it disappeared in a flash. He continued to smile and said to Shen Lun: "Since Mr. Shen is so anxious, I will not waste Mr. Shen's time. What your majesty wants is not important, but to let Mr. Shen spend his time at leisure. At that time, I walked around the place under Yang Yansi's rule, and if I saw something special, I told him about it."

Shen Lun was stunned, staring and said: "At any rate, this old man is also a person who has served as a political adviser. If you let this old man be your spy, you are humiliating this old man."

The eunuch said indifferently: "There is nothing we can do about it. Who asked Yang Yansi to make this generation of state airtight? We have tried our best, but we can't detect anything. So we can only ask Mr. Shen to help."

Just as Shen Lun was about to refute, the eunuch said again: "Mr. Shen, don't forget that your son is still in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I don't think Mr. Shen will refuse."

Shen Lun gritted his teeth in humiliation: "The old man agreed."

The eunuch nodded in satisfaction, "That's very good, then I won't bother Mr. Shen."

"Wait a minute..."

Shen Lun spoke suddenly.

The eunuch moved away and returned to the original position, looking at Shen Lun with a smile, "What orders does Mr. Shen have?"

Shen Lun said dejectedly: "The old man thinks that Da Lang and Er Lang are not suitable to be officials. You should send a message to His Majesty, and let His Majesty dismiss them as officials."

Shen Lun suddenly seemed to have aged ten years.

It seemed as if all the energy in his body had been emptied.

Back then, the reason why he came to Daizhou was to seek a bright future for his sons.

But now, the bright future he planned for his sons has become a shackle on him.

Shen Lun is upright, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.

How could Wang Jien not think of the insidious means that Wang Jien could think of.

Shen Lun seemed to have seen it. After that, Zhao Guangyi used his son as a threat and made one request after another to him.

In the end, he was cornered and ruined.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Shen Lun gritted his teeth and helped his sons abandon their bright future, so as to escape from the vortex of this conspiracy.

When the eunuch heard Shen Lun's request, he was obviously stunned, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, the eldest son of your mansion has not committed any crimes. Not only has he not committed any crimes, but he has also made many achievements.

Your Majesty has already decided that the eldest son who moved from the left to your mansion will serve as Jing Zhaoyin..."

In an instant, Shen Lun knew that he was finished.

He slumped on the ground in pain, and shed two lines of tears.

The eunuch showed no sympathy for Shen Lun's pain, he cupped his hands with a smile, and exited Shen Lun's room.

……

Yang Qi already knew about Shen Lun's news in the evening.

Peng Pai told Yang Qi what happened in Yang Qi's study in detail.

After Yang Qi finished listening, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "You mean, the envoy of the Song Dynasty who entered the Datong Mansion with Li Zibin secretly went to Datong Academy and met Shen Lun?"

Peng Pai laughed and said: "That person thinks he is invisible, but he doesn't know that our people have been following them closely since they entered the border of Datong Mansion. Although they have set up a lot of suspicious soldiers after entering Datong Mansion , but the subordinates easily grabbed their heads and tails."

"Zizi~"

Yang Qi clicked his lips, sat on the chair with great interest, and said with a smile: "Zhao Guangyi is really wicked! I don't know what my teacher will do?"

Peng Pai hesitated for a moment, then said: "Should I send someone to watch him?"

Yang Qi waved his hand, "No need. I just want to see what my teacher will do."

At this moment, Rumeng hurried into the study room, and after bowing and saluting, she said softly: "My lord, Mrs. Shen is asking to see you."

Although Shen Lun is the deputy head of the Datong Academy, he is in charge of the affairs of the academy, large and small.

And he himself taught mathematics, and he was quite prestigious among the students in the academy. Over time, people in Datong Mansion all called him Master.

Hearing Shen Lun begging to see him, Yang Qi obviously felt a little surprised.

Immediately, he chuckled and said, "Please come in, my teacher."

Like a dream to meet Shen Lun.

Yang Qi asked Peng Pai with a half-smile, "Peng Pai, guess what will my teacher say to me when he comes?"

Peng Pai said bluntly: "My subordinates guess that it probably has something to do with what Zhao Guangyi asked him to do."

"Let's see..."

talking room.

Guided by Rumeng, Shen Lun entered Yang Qi's study.

Shen Lun's face was very pale. After entering the study, he immediately saluted Yang Qi, "Shen Lun has seen Huhou."

Yang Qi waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be so polite between you and my teachers and students. Rumeng, sit and watch."

Rumeng brought a chair for Shen Lun, and Shen Lun sat down slowly.

However, after Shen Lun sat down, he didn't say a word, just looked at Yang Qi.

Yang Qi was stunned, waved his hands and said, "Ru Meng, Peng Pai, you guys go down first. Remember to close the door."

Ru Meng and Peng Pai left.

Shen Lun suddenly stood up, threw himself at Yang Qi's table, weeping like rain, "Yan Si, save this old man..."

Yang Qi was obviously stunned for a moment, raised his brows slightly, and said with a little surprise: "Teacher, don't panic, sit down and talk slowly. Who is so bold that he dares to harm the teacher in my Yang Yansi's territory? He is tired of living gone?"

Shen Lun cried: "They are not trying to harm the old man, but to force the old man to harm you."

Next, Shen Lun told Yang Qi everything that happened in his room before.

After Yang Qi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, "Zhao Guangyi is the emperor after all, how did he become so mean?"

Shen Lun hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty has always done things like this..."

Shen Lun said nervously again: "Yansi, you must save the old man's two children..."

Yang Qi looked at Shen Lun, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since Zhao Guangyi wants to threaten the teacher with two senior brothers, he will definitely send someone to closely monitor the two senior brothers.

It is not easy to get them out of Zhao Guangyi's nose. "

Shen Lun panicked, "What should I do?"

Seeing that Shen Lun had obviously lost his mind, Yang Qi comforted him: "This matter has to be discussed in the long term. Teacher, don't worry. I will send someone over to protect the two senior brothers secretly. If they are in danger, I will Immediately try to rescue."

Shen Lun said in frustration: "Is there no way to untie this knot?"

Yang Qi thought for a long time, and said in a low voice: "It's not impossible. If the teacher cooperates, we can first try to make Zhao Guangyi relax his vigilance. Then we will take the opportunity to rescue the two senior brothers."

Shen Lun was stunned for a moment, "Do you want...to let the old man secretly deliver a message to His Majesty?"

Yang Qi said solemnly: "Every month, I will send you a piece of news, you just need to copy a copy and give it to them."

"That's all there is to it."

Shen Lun nodded with a mournful face.

Then he stood up, cupped his hands at Yang Qi, and walked out of Yang Qi's study with upside-down steps.

"Hey~"

Yang Qichang sighed.

Peng Pai happened to enter the door at this moment.

"Why did the young master sigh?"

Yang Qi licked his lips and smiled sullenly, "Zhao Guangyi must be against me."

"or……"

Peng Pai hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "My subordinates sent someone to get a hundred catties of gunpowder, go to Bianliang City, and kill him."

Yang Qi looked at Peng Pai in astonishment, "When did you become so violent?"

Peng Pai chuckled, "My subordinate is in Guliqiu. After seeing the power of the new gunpowder, I kind of like it."

Yang Qi glared at Peng Pai, "You are the leader of the spies, not the leader of the dead. If violence can solve all problems, then why do you need to be scheming?"

Peng Pai smiled dryly and scratched his head.

"The young master taught you the right thing."

Yang Qi pinched his chin, raised his eyebrows and said, "We still need to have a temper, otherwise people will think we are made of mud..."

Yang Qi narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

"Send someone to find Zhang Delin for me, and I will make him pay the price."

"Hey hey hey..."

Peng Pai smiled meanly.

Yang Qi frowned, "What are you laughing at..."

Peng Pai said happily: "The subordinates know that the young master has a temperament that does not suffer, so when he was in Xixia Mansion, the subordinates have already sent someone to look for Zhang Delin."

Yang Qi raised his eyebrows, stunned.

"Anyone found?"

"I found it, and I'm hiding in the barracks of the Fenzhou Xiang Army, and I'm hiding in the barracks together with those soldiers under his command."

A sneer curled up at the corner of Yang Qi's mouth, "He seems like a normal person..."

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Yang Qi ordered: "Since the people have been found, let them die. The tens of thousands of dead souls in Datong Mansion need to pay homage."

"Just watch."

Peng Pai smiled.

Yang Qi nodded, "I'll let the volcano guard cooperate with you, don't let them die too comfortably..."

After a while, seeing Peng Pai still standing beside him, Yang Qi looked sideways, "Why are you still here?"

Peng Pai asked tentatively: "Subordinate... This subordinate just wants to know what exactly Master Shen was doing here just now?"

Yang Qi was stunned, then shook his head and smiled, "I almost forgot if you didn't tell me."

"hey-hey……"

Yang Qi chuckled, "Can you imagine that my teacher came to confess to me?"

"frank?"

Peng Pai was stunned, "Master Shen told you everything?"

Yang Qi nodded and said with emotion: "Even I didn't expect that my teacher would confess this matter to me. I thought he would do some shameful things behind my back.

Now it seems that my teacher, I am afraid, has given up on Zhao Guangyi.

That's good, I have another mainstay in my hands that I can use..."

Peng Pai looked at Yang Qi anxiously, scratched his ears and said, "What exactly does Zhao Guangyi want Master Shen to do?"

Peng Pai has been engaged in intelligence for a long time, and he has begun to contract some occupational diseases.

What news, he asked without getting to the bottom of it, as if there was always a cat's paw scratching in his heart.

Yang Qi had already discovered that Peng Pai had this problem, so he didn't care about it.

Instead, he told Peng Pai about Zhao Guangyi's threat to Shen Lun.

At the end, Yang Qi said quietly: "Since the teacher asked me, I should naturally help. The scarecrow that you rule Bianjing City is paying close attention."

"clear."

After Peng Pai left, Yang Qi changed into a black brocade suit, and left Yang's mansion under the moonlight that had just appeared.

All the way to the Zhifu Yamen.

Chen Jiangling was waiting at the gate of the yamen early.

"Is everyone here?"

After meeting Chen Jiangling, Yang Qi asked immediately.

Chen Jiangling saluted Yang Qi respectfully, and said solemnly: "Report to Lord Hu, everyone is here."
