Chapter 871 Handling
After Yan Qinghe left, Prime Minister Zuo paced back and forth, secretly thinking about the details of the Chen Yi case back then.

When the incident happened suddenly, he was also extremely shocked when he learned about it.

Thinking about it now, there are too many tricks in it, especially after this, Shengquan has been promoted step by step.

By the way, step by step...

He suddenly remembered that Sheng Quan's promotion to Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was also due to the protection of the right minister.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was suddenly seriously ill. Because of the Chen Yi case, Sheng Quan, who was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, got the right minister to guarantee his promotion. Therefore, the emperor promoted him to two ranks in a short period of time.

Could it be that this matter has nothing to do with Prime Minister Right?
Zuo Xiang sat down and rubbed the space between his brows.

Having fought against Prime Minister Right for most of his life, he knows more about Prime Minister Right than he knows himself.

If you say that the right minister valued Sheng Quan's ability, he would be promoted even if he was killed.

There is a reason for the right minister to do everything, and he will never promote people for no reason.

Back then, he was immersed in the Chen Yi case, but he didn't think about it so much. When the Prime Minister recommended it to the emperor, he didn't think of a good candidate, so he didn't object.

But now, not necessarily.

"Master, the people from the Yan Mansion are here again! They brought a group of people with them!" Just as he was thinking, the servant came trotting over.

Prime Minister Zuo was startled: "Hurry up and ask someone to come in!"

It was Su Ming who came. He handed Jiang Jin over to the guards before entering the inner room.

Seeing Prime Minister Zuo, he hurriedly saluted: "This is a gift from my lord to Prime Minister Zuo. Your lord said, you will definitely like this gift."

"Who are these people?" Prime Minister Zuo glanced at the man in black who was tied up opposite, with puzzled eyes.

Su Ming glanced at Prime Minister Zuo with a smile, completely ignoring the shock that the news brought to Prime Minister Zuo: "This one is the criminal who just assassinated Your Excellency and was caught by Your Excellency. The leader is Jiang Jin, who is the Sheng Mansion The bodyguard..."

Jiang Jin was even more taken aback, not understanding how he was exposed.

He was clearly wearing a mask all the time, how did he recognize him?

After a while, Prime Minister Zuo withdrew his gaze and looked at Su Ming: "Thank you, sir, for me."

Su Ming nodded, turned and left.

Prime Minister Zuo ordered these people to be imprisoned temporarily.

After finishing all this, Prime Minister Zuo sat at the table and thought about it, then picked up a pen and started writing notes...

Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Your Excellency, I saw Yan Qinghe enter Zuoxiang's mansion with my own eyes, and came out after about two quarters of an hour. According to the servants we placed in the mansion, when Yan Qinghe came, he brought a black box and came out. I didn’t see the black box after that, probably gave the black box to Prime Minister Zuo, and he was assassinated shortly thereafter. Now the assassin was sent to Prime Minister Zuo’s mansion by Yan Qinghe’s guards, and he returned to the mansion safe and sound. .” The spy in night clothes said respectfully.

"I see, you go down and continue to monitor every move of Zuo Xiangfu." Right Xiang frowned and ordered.

"Yes, my lord."

Prime Minister Right looked up at the staff who were drinking tea before the case, and said anxiously: "Duan Xin, what do you think we should do about this?"

Duan Xin took a sip of tea unhurriedly: "Master Right, don't worry, the most important thing in this black box is with us, and the only thing left is the ledger, which must have fallen into the hands of Zuo Xiang now. At this point, we might as well give the emperor the money first."

"What do you mean?"

"It means tonight, you will write a memorial and submit it, asking the emperor to punish you." Duan Xin said calmly.

"what?"

Never expecting Duan Xin to say such a thing, Prime Minister Right was shocked.

"Since Prime Minister Zuo got this ledger, he will surely vindicate Chen Yi tomorrow, and Sheng Quan will be useless by then."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Of course it's related, have you forgotten? You recommended Sheng Quan to be Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Now that something happened to him, do you think you can escape?"

Duan Xin glanced at him indifferently, and slowly analyzed it for him.

Prime Minister Right was reminded and broke into a cold sweat with fright.

He had forgotten that this matter really had something to do with him.

"What can we do? Don't let him reveal the deal between us."

"Then let him not have this opportunity." Duan Xin glanced at him and took a sip of tea.

"Please enlighten me, sir."

"You should first write a notebook and hand it to the Military Aircraft Department, and write down all kinds of bad deeds of Shengquan on it. Finally, write that you are not clear about people and have committed the crime of negligence. Please punish yourself by the emperor." Duan Xin paused and said emphatically , "Remember, you must be quick, and let the emperor see it before tomorrow."

You Lian nodded hurriedly: "What about Sheng Quan? What if he talks nonsense..."

"Don't panic, I will help you deal with all this, you just listen to me."

"This Yan Qinghe has ruined my good things several times, I wonder if the master has a clever plan?" The right minister said through gritted teeth.

"It's not yet time."

Duan Xin put down his teacup, brushed his clothes and retreated.

The Prime Minister on the right watched his leaving back, and spit lightly: "What, take Joe in front of me!"

If it wasn't for the need to use him, why bother to work so hard!

He sat down, dipped his pen into the ink, and began to write the memorial. He was good at writing memorials innocently and beautifully.

Shengfu.

Sheng Fang has woken up after being nursed by the doctor.

But this state is not as good as not waking up.

The whole person is dull and lifeless, no matter what others say, they don't pay attention to each other, they are completely immersed in their own world.

Once a man came over, she would curl up in fright.

Even Sheng Quan approaching her would arouse her resentment and fear, so Sheng Quan had to let the servant girl take care of her personally.

In the mansion, it is strictly forbidden for people other than maids and mother-in-law to contact her, lest she be stimulated and get sick.

Sheng Quan's eyebrows twitched, thinking of his daughter's current situation, Yan Qinghe gritted his teeth in hatred.

When it was time to eat, he asked casually, "Why hasn't Jiang Jin come back yet?"

The guard hurriedly said: "Master, not only Guard Jiang didn't come back, but the team of guards who went there didn't come back..."

"What? Why did you tell me this kind of thing now?" Sheng Quan slapped the table heavily, his expression slightly flustered.

"Subordinate, I just learned that I sent someone to look at the place where I set up an ambush before. There are traces of fighting...I'm afraid... Jiang guards are more or less ominous..."

Sheng Quan scolded angrily: "Trash! They are all trash! Hurry up and send someone to find it for me!"

The guard quickly took the order and left.

The next day, early morning.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

After the chief eunuch's sharp voice fell, Prime Minister Zuo glanced at Yan Qinghe, seeing him nodding, he came out and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to report."

"Zoo." The emperor waved his hand. He was still a little sleepy at this moment. He covered his mouth and quietly yawned. Everyone pretended not to see it.

"Report to Your Majesty, the old minister got a ledger, which recorded some incidents of accepting bribes, please learn from him." Then, Prime Minister Zuo raised his hand and presented the ledger to the eunuch in charge.

When the emperor heard the word accepting bribes, he was shocked and angry.

What he hates the most is taking bribes. As an emperor, he himself doesn't have much to eat, but the people under him eat more than the other, how can he bear it.

The emperor hurriedly took the ledger handed over by the chief eunuch, and quickly flipped through it.

Standing in the imperial court, Shangshu Shengquan of the Ministry of Punishment had cold sweat on his forehead. He had searched for this ledger for a long time but had not found it. How could it be in the hands of Prime Minister Zuo.

His thoughts were churning so violently that he dared not take his eyes off the emperor's movements for a moment.

At that time, the purpose of writing this account book was to pinpoint those officials so that they could do things conveniently, but later, for some unknown reason, it suddenly disappeared. He was in such a hurry that he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

Nothing happened afterwards, he almost forgot about it, but it popped up again.

It really makes people angry and anxious.

Just as nervous as Sheng Quan were those officials who took bribes, some of them were timid, their legs began to shake.

Prime Minister on the right clenched his palms tightly, glanced at Prime Minister on the left, and seeing his calm appearance, he secretly hated him.

The emperor turned over page by page, from the initial disapproval to the current numbness and indifference, holding his breath all the time.

After the emperor had read all of them, he was so angry that he smashed down the ledger in his hand, and hit Prime Minister Right's forehead, a big lump suddenly swelled up, which startled Prime Minister Right.

But he didn't dare to speak, he just silently covered his forehead.

"You are so bold!" The emperor scolded coldly.

All the ministers quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Quiet your anger? If you want me to calm your anger, each of you should settle down!" the emperor said angrily, calling the chief eunuch to pick up the ledger.

"Left Prime Minister, are the things recorded in this ledger true?"

"The old minister dare not lie to His Majesty, His Majesty can send someone to investigate!"

"Then whose account book is it?"

Zuo Xiang glanced around, and the people he saw quickly lowered their heads.

Afterwards, Prime Minister Zuo pointed to Sheng Quan: "Your Majesty, this ledger is Sheng Quan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment!"

"Your Majesty, this is a false accusation! I dare not!" Sheng Quan quickly knelt down and cried out his innocence, his vest was wet a lot.

The emperor sneered: "Don't you dare?"

Sheng Quan didn't dare to talk to the emperor when he was angry, so he just kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Left Prime Minister, do you have any evidence?" The emperor looked at Zuo Prime Minister, and after the anger passed, he came back to his senses. This involves many ministers in the court. If there is no evidence, he will not investigate easily. If it is someone else, he is afraid. He would suspect that the other party had sinister intentions, but he didn't think so when the target was this loyal leftist.

The left minister cupped his hands and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the old minister still has witnesses, may I ask your Majesty if you remember Chen Yi taking bribes back then?"

The emperor frowned: "Remember, Prime Minister Zuo asked why?"

He didn't want to bring up this case, because the amount of silver found at the beginning was astonishing.

Who would have thought that Governor Chen would do such a thing!

How much he trusted Governor Chen back then, how disappointed he was when the matter was revealed!
It's despicable for someone to act like a breeze on the surface, but to be corrupt and accept bribes on the inside!

Thanks to him, the emperor, who rewards the other party from time to time!
What he did was slapping him in the face of being an emperor!
"Your Majesty, Governor Chen has been wronged!" Zuo Xiang lamented.

The emperor's heart skipped a beat.
