The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 144 Suing An Guogong

The charcoal stove on the carriage was very hot, Zheng Yanniang was sweating a little after sitting for a while, and Zheng Yunjie had already been distracted because of the woman he loved in his arms, if he hadn't worried that she was a healthy person, he would have been If you want her, how can you restrain yourself until now.

Zheng Yanniang was immersed in the beautiful life that was about to start, and she didn't notice Zheng Yunjie's strangeness. When she felt a little hot, she got up and sat aside, and took off the double-breasted cotton jacket on her body.

She was five months pregnant, although her lower abdomen was already swollen, but in Zheng Yunjie's eyes, she was still so touching. After only a few days of seeing her, her body seemed to be much plump, and he could no longer restrain the restlessness in his body. He stepped forward and gently put her down on the wide seat covered with thick fur cushions.

Only then did Zheng Yanniang realize his abnormality, and when she met his lustful eyes, she avoided his eyes shyly, and reminded softly: "Yunlang, you can't ride in a carriage, too much turmoil will hurt you." to the child."

After being reminded by Zheng Yanniang, Zheng Yunjie immediately woke up, and his eyes became clear again. He suppressed the thoughts in his mind, gently helped her sit up and said, "I'm sorry, it's all because of my poor concentration, which almost hurt you and me." child."

Zheng Yanniang shook her head happily when she heard the words, thinking of the master he mentioned, she asked curiously: "Yun Lang, who is the master you are talking about, who has such a great ability?"

Zheng Yunjie heard the words, and said in a very confused way: "I don't know the real identity of the master, every time there is something to order, 'he' always sends someone around to pass on the message, that man wears an iron mask, we I couldn't see his true face at all, he only gave me a piece of precious jade pendant engraved with the word "Bo" as proof, as long as we arrive in the ancient country, someone will naturally meet us, and this jade pendant is a passport, which can guarantee that we will enter the ancient country , unimpeded."

Hearing this, Zheng Yanniang took the jade pendant from Zheng Yunjie's hand and looked at it carefully for a long time. Except that the jade pendant was the top-quality Lantian jade, she couldn't see anything else. After a long time she was not sure: "I heard There is a God of War General in the ancient country, that general seems to be named Bo, could it be that the mysterious owner is General God of War?"

Hearing this, Zheng Yunjie shook his head in confusion.The carriage drove out of the city quickly, leading them to a new life.

Wu Haolong was not in the mood to care that Zheng Yanniang would stay at Zheng's house for a few days and pay off the supplier's payment. Wu Haolong heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn't feel relieved for a long time. He took the payment and left. The suppliers came to Wu Haolong one after another, and it turned out that the banknotes he paid were invalid yesterday. Wu Haolong secretly complained that something was wrong, and sent people to Zheng's mansion, but the people who went there brought Wu Haolong shocking news. The people in the mansion have long been empty, and the bank run by the Zheng family has applied to the court for cancellation a few days ago, and all the customers who originally existed in the Zheng family bank have been transferred to other banks, and those customers have no interest For the loss, it was Wu Haolong who was unlucky, because he used voided bank notes as payment for the goods, and those suppliers didn't care whether he was framed or not, they only cared about whether their payment could be recovered.

When Wu Haolong was trying to raise money to deliver the supplier's payment, he was sued by the officials for deceiving the merchant by voiding the bank notes, and Chengdi gave Empress Wu a severe reprimand for this, and demanded that Empress Wu Deal with the matter as soon as possible, and don't let Wu Haolong get involved and embarrass the royal family.

The turmoil of defrauding merchants with scrap banknotes has not yet passed, and the Yanguan received an anonymous report letter, which revealed that An Guogong harbored the daughter of a criminal prisoner, and took her as a concubine, raised her outside the mansion and gave birth to a son.

The officials reported the matter to Emperor Cheng in secret. Emperor Cheng was furious after reading the secret book, and ordered the officials to investigate secretly. Within a few days, the officials reported the truth to Emperor Cheng, and Emperor Cheng read it. After reading the contents of the secret booklet, he lost his temper and immediately issued an order to call An Guogong back to Xindu.

An Guogong received the imperial edict from Emperor Cheng to recall him to Beijing, and he didn't dare to delay. After the affairs of the generals were arranged, he set off to return to Beijing.But in the middle of Beijing, the Jingzhaoyin Mansion, which had been silent for a long time, sounded the sound of drums calling for grievances. Jingzhaoyin was promoted to the hall. When he saw that the person complaining about grievances was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, he was startled and asked incomparably majesticly: "Tang Who are you going to beat the drums to complain about?"

The young man knelt in the hall, with his back straight, his eyes looking straight at Jing Zhaoyin, and he replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Returning to the adults, Caomin's surname is Zhou Dan and his name is Hui. He is from the east village of Liucheng. Caomin wants to save his parents and villagers who died innocently." Redressing grievances, the grassroots has a pleading paper, please read it."

Jing Zhaoyin glanced at the pleading paper in Zhou Hui's hand, and winked at the master at the side. The master understood, stepped forward to take the pleading paper in Zhou Hui's hand, and handed it to Jing Zhaoyin.Jing Guangyin unfolded the pleading paper, and when his eyes scanned the content on the pleading paper, he felt terrified.

After settling his mind, Jing Zhaoyin said with a stern and selfless look: "Zhou Hui, you want to sue An Guogong for the crime of fabricating military exploits and beheading more than a hundred people in Dongcun Village. I accept it, but An Guogong As I am in office, I am not in Beijing right now, so I have to ask the emperor to summon Duke Ango to return to Beijing by order, the time to go back and forth is not short, you need to wait patiently, you understand."

"Caomin understands, Caomin will wait for your lord's summons." Zhou Hui was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly kowtowed and said.

After sending Zhou Hui away, Jing Zhaoyin collected the pleadings, ordered the people in the government office to prepare a sedan chair, and left Jing Zhaoyin's mansion in a hurry.In the afternoon, Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin visited Mrs. An Guogong's mansion. After Mrs. An Guogong sent Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin away, she ordered the people in the mansion to prepare a carriage and hurried to the palace.

In the central palace, after seeing the pleading paper presented by Mrs. An Guogong, Empress Wu turned pale with anger. She threw the pleading paper on the ground, pointed to Mrs. An Guogong who was kneeling down and asked angrily: "Is there anything wrong with the pleading paper?" it is true?"

Mrs. An Guogong, as the official wife of An Guogong, naturally knows some things about An Guogong, such as the fabrication of military exploits. After hearing Empress Wu's angry question, she shook her body in fright, and said truthfully: "Your Majesty, calm down. The Lord is also for the empress, and for the whole Wu family. The achievements of the bandits have always been counted by the head. If the number is not increased, how can it be considered a great achievement, and how can it be rewarded and reused by the emperor? For your empress, for the fifth prince, and for the sake of the Wu clan, save the Duke!"

When the matter was confirmed, Empress Wu was even more furious. She slapped the teacup on the table to the ground and scolded angrily: "They are all a bunch of trash. If you dare to do it, you should wipe your ass clean in the first place." , death without proof is beautiful."
