Twin Brocade

Chapter 538 Dead time has come
"My lord!" the staff member clasped his hands and said, "The young master of the Gong family is now at Tianjin Qiaotou, and he has tied up Master Yu."

"What?" Guan Jinghuan was startled, and asked, "He, when did he return to Beijing?" But he is indeed an old fox who has experienced officialdom, after being shocked, he immediately figured out the key points.

"What a Quan Moxian!" He slammed his palm on the desk, causing all the four treasures of the study on it to jump.

"Gong Wenjue, probably came back a long time ago!" Guan Jinghuan shook his head and said, "What a Mingxiu plank road secretly hiding in Chencang!" Even if it was his opponent, he couldn't help but want to applaud the two of them.

"Where is Gong Shangshu?"

"He's almost here."

It seems that the counterfeit printing case can no longer be concealed.

The posture of the grandparents of the Gong family is to sue the imperial court.In this way, all the witnesses and material evidence came to Emperor Qinglong, and Mao Shilang had no other choice but to plead guilty.

The trend is over!

Moreover, this turning point came too suddenly.

Just yesterday, Guan Jinghuan was still plotting with Wang Ji about Quan Moxian seeking his own death.

In the blink of an eye, the world was turned upside down, and it was his own people who had reached a dead end.

At this time, he couldn't care about Wang Ji and Quan Moxian any more.In the case of counterfeit printing, how to protect himself is the question he has to think about.

Steadying his mind, Guan Jinghuan said: "Go quickly to Mao Shilang's mansion, tell him that I am here, and I will take care of his parents, wife and children! Be careful to hide your traces, and don't be seen by others!"

Since Master Yu has fallen into Gong Wenjue's hands, Mao Shilang is bound to be dragged out.Although he didn't know how much evidence the other party had, he had to think of a way out at this moment.

By the time Emperor Qinglong sent someone to arrest Mao Shilang, it was already too late!
The strong man broke his wrist, so he had to abandon the car to protect the handsome man.

At the same time, Gong Shangshu had already arrived in the imperial study room, bowed down and said: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"You dare to come to see me?" Emperor Qinglong was not angry but awe-inspiring.

"The guilty minister dare not, but only hopes to relieve the king's worries!"

"Pingshen." Emperor Qinglong raised his head and said, "I also want to hear what you have to say."

Gong Shangshu got up and presented all the evidence he found one by one, starting from the modus operandi of the counterfeit printing case, all the way to the roster and account books in Master Yu's hands.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the money they collected by using fake seals."

Wu Guangqi took the account book and placed it on Emperor Qinglong's desk. Emperor Qinglong glanced over the lines of words on it like a falcon, and his heart was full of anger.

According to this roster, fake seals have been used to make money since the time of the first emperor, and now, there are already a million taels of money.You know, whoever buys such a fake printed citation book is not spending money to buy his life.Each one is sold at a high price.

And most of the people who bought it above used pseudonyms.But don't think about it, it must be mostly the gangsters who committed crimes, as well as those spies from other countries with ulterior motives.

Emperor Qinglong's eyes narrowed quickly, and anger gushed out from his heart.

The important minister of the country, taking advantage of his position, actually amassed so much ill-gotten wealth.It is an unforgivable crime to leak domestic military information and cover up the damned gangsters!

"Boom!" With a loud sound, Emperor Qinglong slapped the dragon table with his palm.The dragon case made of red sandalwood had slight cracks under his palm, and cracked towards the edge.

Such a moth of the country must be punished!

"Where is the witness?" Emperor Qinglong asked.

"If you go back to the emperor, take it with you and wait outside Duanmen." Gong Shangshu respectfully replied.

"Bring it up."

The witnesses and material evidence are all there, so far there is no suspense.

After Mr. Yu fell into Gong Wenjue's hands, after some interrogation, he had already dispelled the idea of ​​making excuses to deny it.Now that he is in front of the imperial court, he dare not lie and commit the crime of deceiving the emperor.

He knelt down on the bright brick, tremblingly, and honestly explained everything he knew.He was not the first master to take over, but what he knew was enough to testify against Shi Lang Mao.

"Your Majesty," Gong Shangshu said with tears in his eyes, "Mao Shilang committed such an astonishing crime, it was all the fault of the guilty officials who didn't notice, please Your Majesty, please come down."

As the Minister of the Household Department, he was ignorant of what was happening under his nose, which was a crime in itself.

Everything that can be done has been done, and the rest depends on how Emperor Qinglong handles it.Gong Wenjue knelt on the ground and remained silent.He has fame and fame, but he is not a courtier, and it is not his turn to speak in the imperial study.

Emperor Qinglong glanced at him and asked, "Gong Wenjue, I heard that you went on a study tour, how did you find out the truth of the case?"

As Gong Shangshu was a member of the six important ministers, Emperor Qinglong also knew a thing or two about the situation in his house.Gong Wenjue is his son-in-law, and Emperor Qinglong naturally knows about going out to study.

The case of counterfeit printing was kept secret in the DPRK and China, and it was not cited.Even if Gong Wenjue came back to help find the truth after knowing this, he should have nowhere to start.

"Replying to the emperor, this case was not investigated by the students." Gong Wenjue replied: "The students asked for the help of Mr. Quan, a member of the criminal department, and found out that Mr. Gao was wronged. All the clues are Mr. Quan risking his life." Find out."

"In order to investigate the case, he was hunted down and almost lost his life, injured his shoulder, and lost his wife." At this point, Gong Wenjue had tears in his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Quan is devoted to the country, and Wansheng admires him! "

"What?" Emperor Qinglong was moved, but he didn't know that Quan Moxian was responsible for it: "Tell me in detail."

"Yes!" Gong Wenjue agreed, and briefly explained what happened after he returned to Beijing.Said: "This was originally not the business of Mr. Quan, but in order to find out the truth of the case, he has not recovered from his injuries and his wife has not been buried yet."

It was their Gong family who owed Quan Moxian, speaking for him in front of the emperor at this time, just to repay the favor a little.

Emperor Qinglong was silent for a while after listening.

Because Empress Cao honored Lin Chenfei's death, he knew that Quan Moxian's wife was dead, but he didn't expect that there was something wrong with it.If it was said that he was just a waiter with no other background, and dared to do such a bold thing, he would not believe it.

As expected, he was right about Quan Moxian.

"Come here, send Quan Moxian and Mao Shilang to come."

Quan Moxian is only a mere sixth grade, and he has no right to see him unless he obeys the imperial edict.Send him here, first to ask questions to understand the case, and second, to appease loyal ministers.

As for Mao Shilang, it is necessary to torture him to find out the real mastermind behind him.

However, Emperor Qinglong was unable to see the living Mao Shilang.

After receiving the words sent by Guan Jinghuan, he knew that his death was coming.

Who is Guan Jinghuan? He said that he would take care of his parents, wife and children, but it was actually a blatant threat.If he dared to miss a word, what awaited him was the fate of losing his wife and children.
