Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 472 Collecting evidence of crime

"It's just why your Majesty wants to kill my whole family. I'm not willing to do it." Yang Yanzhang sank down on the chair dejectedly.

"My lord, your majesty had no choice but to do this. If your majesty believed in my lord, why would you kill your whole family? As long as your lord changes his ways, your majesty will forgive your whole family for your sake."

His Majesty also said that as long as your husband is willing to plead guilty and obey the law, you will not only be safe and sound, but you will also be able to become an official again, marry a wife and have children. "

Yang Yanzhang was extremely excited: "Really?"

"How dare I deceive my husband? My husband, please go to the Criminal Department to collect the evidence of your crime." The maid said.

Yang Yanzhang hurried to the Penal Department Yamen.

Yang Yanzhang took the file and came to the residence of Zhang Xiaolian, the Minister of Punishment, and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." An old voice sounded in the room.

"Wan Sheng pays homage to Mr. Zhang." Yang Yanzhang entered the room and bowed.

"A good son-in-law doesn't need to be polite. Why did my good son-in-law come to see me today?"

Yang Yanzhang raised his head and couldn't stop his tears from flowing down: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law realizes his mistake."

"Oh? My virtuous son-in-law knows where he went wrong?"

"My son-in-law should not conspire with outsiders to murder Li Chunfang and Han Qi just for promotion," Yang Yanzhang said.

Zhang Xiaolian snorted coldly: "Yang Yanzhang, you still know that you are wrong. His Majesty has ordered your case to be investigated. I am your father-in-law, and I really can't bear to see you die in the cell.

I have managed the relationship and asked you for a good job, so that you can make meritorious deeds. As long as you can help the emperor bring down the traitor Zhao Zhen. The emperor can restore your innocence and give you a high official position and a generous salary. You are a smart person. You should know how to choose. "

"Thank you, father-in-law." Yang Yanzhang was grateful.

Zhang Xiaolian said calmly: "This is your opportunity. Cherish it."

Yang Yanzhang left the house gratefully, and then left Zhang Xiaolian's house.

Yang Yanzhang walked out of Zhang Xiaolian's mansion and found the people around him pointing and pointing. Yang Yanzhang was disheartened and wiped the corners of his eyes as he walked outside the palace.

When he stood at the entrance of the palace, he felt even more desperate.

The words "Qinzheng Hall" are written on the archway outside the palace. The imperial palace of the Song Dynasty occupies a very large area and has majestic buildings. But at this moment, Yang Yanzhang no longer had the intention to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

He entered the palace slowly and hesitantly.

Qinzheng Palace is a huge palace with luxurious furnishings and splendid splendor.

Yang Yanzhang came to the steps outside the main hall and bowed deeply: "My lord, Yang Yanzhang is here to pay homage to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Li Xu stood up from the dragon chair and asked: "I ask you, are you and Liu Yu colluding together? Who gave you the courage to murder the pillars of the imperial court? If you confess frankly, maybe I will consider giving a lighter sentence."

Yang Yanzhang knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have never met Liu Yu. We only met a few times occasionally. Liu Yu is arrogant and arrogant.

I just couldn't stand his attitude, so I gave him a lesson. How could I have imagined that His Majesty would send the royal guards to arrest me. "

Li Xu said: "Liu Yu is arrogant. I have made it very clear through my investigation. He does not respect the grand master, the elder and other senior ministers. He is indeed arrogant.

Yang Yanzhang, I remember my old love and give you a way to survive. As long as you admit your mistake, I can still forgive you and let you become a seventh-grade Hanlin editor. What else are you dissatisfied with? "

Yang Yanzhang kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, I am not a person who is greedy for wealth. It's just that Liu Yu humiliated me. I have to retaliate against Liu Yu. Although Wei Chen is jealous of evil, he will not murder the court official. If Your Majesty does not believe Wei Chen , then please arrest the humble minister and hand him over to the Jinyi Guards for strict interrogation.

As long as there is sufficient evidence, even if the minister jumps into the Yellow River, he will not be able to clear away the suspicion of slandering His Majesty. "

Li Xu sighed and said: "Yang Yanzhang, you really disappointed me. I gave you so much time. But you failed to live up to my expectations. Well, since you are stubborn, there is nothing I can do. Someone, drag Yang Yanzhang away Go down and behead him."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life." Yang Yanzhang howled miserably and was dragged out of the Qinzheng Hall.

Yang Yanzhang was escorted to Caishikou and prepared to be beheaded in public.

Yang Yanzhang kept shouting: "Your Majesty, you can't kill me, you can't kill me."

Yang Yanzhang was born as a scribe and was very popular among the people because of his elegant literary talent. At a young age, he became a senior official of the Ministry of Industry, and his career was prosperous. Yang Yanzhang had a wide network of contacts in the court, and even the emperor's bedfellows were bribed by him.

"Don't worry, I won't let your death be in vain. Your Majesty promises to give you a sum of money so that your family can enjoy happiness."

"No, I don't want money. I just want a way to survive. I just ask your Majesty to spare the life of this little man."

Yang Yanzhang struggled on the market and yelled: "You bunch of thieves, you will be punished."

"Retribution? Haha, you actually still believe in ghosts and gods?"

A voice came into Yang Yanzhang's ears. He turned around and saw a group of cavalry galloping towards them and stopping at the entrance of the vegetable market.

The leader was Liu Yu.

Yang Yanzhang's expression changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice: "Liu Yu, how dare you come!"

Liu Yu sneered: "Why don't you dare to come? Today I came here specifically to take your head and avenge my dead brother."

Yang Yanzhang gritted his teeth: "You can never succeed. I am the pillar of the country. If you dare to kill me, the government and the public will definitely be at odds with you."

Liu Yu shook his head: "You don't have to scare me. I, Liu Yu, have always been aboveboard and not afraid of any threats."

Yang Yanzhang glared at Liu Yu: "I admit that I framed Liu Yu. But my guilt is not light. Your Majesty will eventually deal with me. Even if you kill me now, I will still refuse to accept it."

Liu Yu sighed: "Mr. Yang, as I said just now, every injustice has its own owner, and every debt has its owner. Your grudge has nothing to do with me. I am also here to handle the case.

Whether it is false accusations or spying on military intelligence, these are matters within the scope of Jin Yiwei's authority. If you want to file a complaint, Mr. Yang, just report me to Jinyiwei. "

Yang Yanzhang gritted his teeth, of course he didn't dare to say it. Because Yang Yanzhang knew that if he reported Liu Yu, not only would he not be punished, but he would be rewarded.

Liu Yu said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report to you."

Li Xu said: "Just tell me if you have anything important to do."

Liu Yu said: "I went to Xichuan on your Majesty's order the day before yesterday to exterminate Hu Qi. Unexpectedly, I met a rebel on the way. I held the imperial edict and went to persuade them to surrender.

As a result, the rebels refused to surrender and even attempted to attack me. The humble man fought hard and killed the enemy chieftain. But the traitor's head was lost, and he discovered a secret. He was disguised as one of our Jin Yiwei and went to Jingkou.

Your Majesty, please order a thorough investigation to track down the person who is pretending to be our Jin Yiwei! "

As soon as these words came out, the entire Caishikou went into a panic.
