Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Mrs. Li told the story exactly as it was, and by the end of it, the old man was so angry that he was shaking all over.

"The Duke of Yang is very capable. After Mr. Li started to investigate his family, his family counterattacked and removed Mr. Li because he was not handling the case well. The case also fell on the current Jingzhao Prefecture Yin. . And this Xu Fuyin did not know whether he was afraid of the power of Yang Guogong or because he had taken some benefits from his family. He did not investigate at all, so he determined this person's murder as an accidental death, and even characterized my son's case as a disappearance case. , the case was hastily closed. Two cases, two lives, and in order to silence us, the Duke of Yang’s Palace took 20 taels of silver."

At this point, Mrs. Li was angry and helpless, "We ordinary people, who have no power and power, can do nothing but accept our fate."

"Nonsense! Her grandson clearly died after accidentally hitting a wall, and her son's death has nothing to do with my family!" Just a word from the officer, I can’t spare you!”

"Master Xue!" Gao Wenchang shouted, "We are not deaf. We can all hear you threatening the families of the victims."

"This is not a threat, it is clearly..." Xue Hesong couldn't find a good excuse for himself.

Gao Wenchang added: "Let's not mention the death of Li Wenxiu, let's talk about Li Xiang. Mr. Xue said that your family did not harm him, so why did you know where his body was? And after Li Zhongxian received a secret report that Li Xiang's body was in Xicheng, you I hurriedly asked my servants to move the body, how can I explain this?"

Xue Hesong pursed his lips and secretly glared at the housekeeper.

Originally, even if Li Xiang's body was found, it would be nothing to the Xue family, but they went to move the body and were caught by the officials.

"Although they are servants of Duke Yang's Mansion, the master does not necessarily know what they have done." Xue Hesong said.

"So Master Xue means that Li Xiang was killed by your housekeeper and the two guards. It was their own idea and it was not instigated by you?"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper panicked, "Second Master, I have no quarrel with that Li Xiang. Why did you kill him? It was clearly you and the Second Madam who ordered me to kill Li Xiang from behind and then throw his body into a dry well." of!"

"Steward Liu!" Xue Hesong gritted his teeth, and he actually told the truth, "You slandered the master so much, have you forgotten my family's kindness to you?"

"Yes, your family is kind to the little one, but this is a murder case. If the little one confesses, he will die."

"you!"

"And the younger one followed the second lady's instructions and went to transfer the bones in front of the Confucian Temple. Now that something happened, we can't rely entirely on the younger one."

Xue Hesong took a deep breath and secretly cursed his wife as a fool for rushing to expose her.

"Master Xue, do you have anything else to say?" Gao Wenchang asked.

Xue Hesong gritted his teeth and said: "It turns out that there was a conflict between the children, and my wife was very eager to protect her son, so she did these stupid things. I only found out today that I will not protect her since she lost her life." "

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, he couldn't help but screamed, "Master Xue is really a man. If something goes wrong, his wife will take the blame, but you are responsible for more than just these two lives."

As he spoke, Liu Yunxiang looked at Gao Wenchang, "Master Gao, everyone is here today. Please tell everyone the crimes Xue Hesong has committed over the years so that everyone can open their eyes."

"Yes."

Gao Wenchang responded, and at the same time waved his hand to his men to bring up a thick stack of cases and place them in the middle of the court.

Gao Wenchang stepped forward and patted the thick case file, then looked at Xue Hesong, "I have sorted out all the crimes committed by Mr. Dare to take it out. Now that the Queen Mother is upholding justice, I will definitely convict you today."

Seeing these cases, Xue Hesong couldn't help but staggered because his legs were weak. This was going to bring him down and bring down the entire Yang Kingdom Palace!

"Your Majesty, you have to save me!" Xue Hesong hurriedly asked Lu Changan for help.

Lu Changan lowered his eyes. It was obvious that Liu Yunxiang had already planned this to break his arm.

"If you are innocent, what are you afraid of? If not, I will never be able to protect you."

"Your Majesty, I'm here to help you..." "Master Xue, you have to be careful what you say, otherwise you might be able to save your life but end up losing it because you said the wrong thing."

Xue Hesong pursed his lips. Lu Changan's words were a reminder to him that he would try his best to save his life, but he was not allowed to involve him.

He is not stupid. With Lu Changan's current power, even if he confesses everything, can the Queen Mother really convict him in court?Impossible. If he were angered, the positions of the Queen Mother and the Emperor would be in jeopardy.

Because there was a mountain of irrefutable evidence and Xue Hesong was indistinguishable, Gao Wenchang captured him in court and put him in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. At the same time, Duke Yang and the eldest son of Duke Yang were also involved, and they would also be tried.

The once glorious Duke's Palace of Yang State collapsed overnight, making it clear to the courtiers that the current Queen Mother was not just a decoration, she was still the Princess of Zhenbei, with military power in her hands, loved by the people, and resourceful. , fair and convincing.

After going to court, Lu Changan stopped Liu Yunxiang on his way back to the Queen Mother's Palace.

His expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be angry because of what happened today. But the calmer he looked, the more worried Liu Yunxiang became.

"I happen to know about the Li family's affairs, so I can't ignore them. Xue Hesong has done all the bad things. If such a person stays in the court, he will definitely cause big troubles," she said.

These words were just an excuse, and they naturally deceived Lu Changan.

"Yunxiang, what you really want to deal with is me."

Lu Changan sighed and looked at Liu Yunxiang again, with a lot of helplessness in his eyes.

"It's because of you that I keep giving in. Don't you understand?"

Liu Yunxiang was silent for a moment, "So you know everything Xue Hesong did?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Could it be that you instigated him to harm the people and frame Zhongliang?"

"He did do some things for me."

"You're not that kind of person."

Lu Changan shook his head, "Some things must be done."

"Please, King Suping, please turn back in time."

"I can't go back."

Lu Changan's eyes darkened, "Starting from tomorrow, the Emperor will no longer go to court when he is ill, and the Queen Mother has no intention of going to court to take care of the Emperor."

"Don't let us participate in government affairs anymore!"

"This king's tolerance has reached its limit. You don't want Yan'er to really get sick, right?"

"you!"

"Also, it is best for Zhenbei and Lingnan to send military registration registers as soon as possible and have them under unified control by the Ministry of War, so that I can let Yan'er pass the throne to me safely and not because of serious illness or any accident."

Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips. It seemed that he really annoyed him this time.

"Yunxiang, you are very smart, you should know what to do." (End of Chapter)
