Chapter 88

Fan Ziran hurriedly left his seat and said, "I have no objection."

Siqing nodded, and said to Cheng Yingzhou: "The Jinwu Guard and the Ministry of Punishment jointly sent people to summon Tang Peng to the Jinwu Guard to confront him, and then sent people to check whether there are any prohibited items in Tang Peng's house."

Cheng Yingzhou and Yang Wanquan, the criminal secretary, said: "The ministers and others respectfully follow His Royal Highness's orders."

Siqing sighed and said, "Big Sikou, please get up."

The criminal secretary Yang Wanquan kowtowed and said: "I dare not, I deserve death for my crimes, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Siqing sneered and said: "If you do your job well, His Majesty will naturally forgive you, and don't waste time talking."

Yue Wenkang, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, was young and recent, and felt that something was wrong at this moment, and suddenly said: "Returning to Your Highness, there is no evidence for this, so I summoned the Tang Commander to confront him. If General Tang refused to admit it, wouldn't it be a shock to the snake? I thought... ..."

Seeing that Yang Wanquan, the criminal secretary, had finally pushed half of the matter to Cheng Yingzhou, how could Yue Wenkang have side effects?Hastily said in a low voice: "How can you be presumptuous in front of the two Highnesses? Don't stop talking!"

Siqing knew that the criminal secretary didn't burn the anonymous letter because he was afraid of causing trouble, but took it out. It is enough to know the Jinwu Guard. Come and tell the East Palace that the crown prince will stay in Xiyuan today and will not go back."

Yun Chu took the order to leave, and Fan Ziran also said: "The minister will take his leave first, and wait for the two highnesses to drive."

Siqing nodded and said, "Let's all go down first."

After everyone retreated, Yuchu came to salute, Siqing said: "I will write a letter later and send it to His Majesty's Xingyuan as soon as possible. Now you go to see Jiang's sister and tell her that someone has opened the layout Tell her to keep an eye on Dingfan's whistle and don't get involved. When I come back from Jinwuwei, tell her to come and see me."

In the afternoon, Siqing and the crown prince went to the Jinwu Guard, where Fan Ziran, a scholar of Jianji Hall, and Xing Shu were already waiting here.Siqing still sat behind the screen with the crown prince. I don't know if Cheng Yingzhou was worried about the simplicity of the houses here and the bad smell, so he specially set up a tall table behind the screen with a stove and three things on it, burning a very strong lily incense.

After sitting down, Siqing ordered the punishment book and so on without being too polite, and the first sentence she spoke was not about Tang Peng, she just said: "This fragrance is not good, come here, take it away."

Yun Chu hurriedly took away the gold-plated incense burner.

At this time, Cheng Yingzhou and Tang Peng entered the room to salute, and since they had reached the yamen of Shangzhi Jingwei, Siqing waited for the two to finish their ceremony, and then said: "Tang Peng, I called you here today, I think you already know what is going on. Someone reported that you secretly communicated with Dingfan, do you have anything to say?"

Tang Pengfu paid homage: "Reporting to your Highnesses, the minister and Dingfan have never met, let alone communicated."

Seeing that Siqing's question didn't make sense, the criminal book said, "General Tang, you and I have never had any disagreements, have we?"

Tang Peng asked inexplicably: "What does Yang Shangshu mean by this? The officials and Yang Shangshu have nothing to do with each other, so why talk about discord?"

It turned out that Cheng Yingzhou only told Tang Peng that someone anonymously submitted a letter to report him secretly contacting Dingfan, but he didn't explain to whom the report was made, so Tang Peng asked this question.Seeing that Cheng Yingzhou had never told Tang Peng about himself, the criminal book couldn't help blushing a little. After looking at the screen, Siqing was silent, so he had no choice but to say: "In this case, it is not the minister's intention to submit a letter to the minister." If you frame General Tang, I hope His Highness will learn from you."

"When did I say that you deliberately framed Tang Peng?" Si Qing even forgot to change her address when she was annoyed, "Da Si Kou Yang, what did you tell me to learn?"

Fan Ziran then said: "Then General Tang, how can you prove that you have never had any contact with Dingfan?"

Hearing the punishment book, the question was even more unreasonable.Fan Ziran was born as a servant of literature, and he had no experience in sitting in court, so he didn't know how to ask questions.This question left Cheng Yingzhou speechless for a while, and Siqing kept touching her forehead behind the screen, and said, "Tang Peng can't answer Mr. Fan Ge's words. How can he prove that he has no contacts? If it is Mr. Fan Ge, can he prove it himself?" ?”

Tang Peng bowed again and said solemnly: "I would like to swear to heaven that I will never have any contact with Dingfan, otherwise..."

At this time, the forbidden army came in to report: "Your Highness, Yue Wenkang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, asks to see you."

Cheng Yingzhou bowed to Siqing, "His Royal Highness, Lord Yue and the imperial guards were ordered to check whether there are any prohibited items in Tang Peng's mansion. They should have returned to order."

Siqing nodded and said, "Biography."

Fan Ziran realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, soothed Tang Peng and said: "Commander Tang, the battle ahead is raging, and His Majesty is not in the imperial capital. The matter involves the commander of the capital and the two Highnesses. I have to be more careful. I hope Commander Tang will be more considerate."

Tang Peng was about to answer when he saw Yue Wenkang, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment striding in. Before he finished saluting, he said eagerly, "His Royal Highness, a letter from Dingfan was found from General Tang's residence. It was written by Han Shouchen, the second son of the traitor."

Everyone's expression changed, and Tang Peng's face was as golden as paper.For a moment, no one reacted, and no one opened their mouths. Only Yun Chu took the letter from Yue Wenkang and presented it to Si Qing.

Cheng Yingzhou first proposed to search Tang Peng's mansion, the original intention was to help Tang Peng get rid of the frame-up, but he did not expect that Dingfan's letter was actually found from Tang Peng's home.Cheng Yingzhou looked at Tang Peng, who was pale, and saw Tang Peng kowtow again, and said: "Your Highness, my lords, this is a false accusation! I have never had any correspondence with Dingfan, and I don't know how this letter appeared. At the minister's house..."

Before the words fell, Siqing, who was behind the screen, slammed the letter on the high table with a slap, and asked Fan Ziran, "Mr. Fan Ge, do you have any memorials from the former Han Shouchen in the imperial court? If so, Use it to compare handwriting."

Fan Ziran said: "There should be Han Shouchen's previous greeting, and I will go to the old file for inspection."

Siqing said coldly: "Mr. Fan Ge, go and check quickly, be more careful."

Fan Ziran saluted and retreated, and the Xing Shu beside him was as dumb as a clay sculpture. He didn't expect that the commander of the Jingwei not only had problems, but was also found out so easily.

Siqing tried her best to suppress herself, her chest heaved unsteadily.The prince looked at Siqing in fear, and shrank back. Siqing realized that he had lost his composure, so he patted the prince on the shoulder lightly, and said to the outside of the screen: "Tang Peng, what else do you have?" Easy to say."

Tang Peng kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, I swear..."

"What law do you need to swear to be useful!" Si Qing snapped, and everyone in Zhou Za couldn't afford to bow down.

Siqing took a deep breath, eased her tone, and replied: "What's the matter with this letter?"

Tang Peng said: "Returning to Your Highness, I don't know, I have never seen this letter, and I don't know why the letter appeared in my home."

"Someone reported your collaborating with the enemy in the criminal book, and then found the letter from Dingfan from your home. Tang Peng, do you want to mistake yourself?" Siqing said, "If there is something hidden, if you don't confess the truth now, When will you wait!"

Tang Peng said: "Your Highness, I have never had any contact with Dingfan, and I don't know where this letter came from. Apart from that, I have nothing to say."

Si Qing sighed, then turned to Xing Shu, "Is there anything else Yang Shangshu wants to ask?"

Xing Shu hurriedly said: "Go back to Your Highness, I have nothing to ask."

Siqing said, "Get up, everyone." Except for Tang Peng, everyone got up and waited anxiously for Fan Ziran's return.
