The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister

  Chapter 165 Broken leg

  Wen Ning's face felt hot, and she threw the note aside as if it was scalding.

asshole! You have made yourself to Dali Temple, and you still have the time to tease her?

   Sure enough, her worries were all in vain. It's not bad if he doesn't cheat others. Who can cheat him? !

  Thinking so, Wen Ning still picked up the piece of paper and looked at it again.

The handwriting is the same as his usual, neither hasty nor impatient, which shows that it was not written in a hurry; the paper is clean and tidy, and there is no dirt, which shows that the writing environment is acceptable; although the ink is completely dry, it is still fresh, which shows that it was written tonight. wrong.

   If news from Sixteen can still come out, then his situation should not be as bad as she thought.

  Wen Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and raised her hand to tear off the paper, but when she went down with both hands, she felt a little reluctant.

   The news finally came out.

  She smoothed the paper, looked at it twice, and finally blushed.

   Wanting to put it under the pillow, but worried that such Meng Lang's words would be seen by others, she simply got up from the bed and put it in the bottom drawer of the dowry.

  After hearing Pei You's words, Wen Ning felt much more at ease, but her plan was disrupted after all, she didn't have the mind to do any more big work, and Wen's residence was not as peaceful as it used to be.

  At the court hall on the second day, a minister said that Wen Lan was originally the head of the Dali Temple, and he went to Lingnan in person, and knew a lot about the epidemic, and suggested that he should investigate the matter with full authority.

  Jia Hedi nodded happily.

  As for the case of Pei You's "cheating" of using military rations, General Jiahe Emperor Xuan Hussars, the grain **** officer of the Southern Expedition Army, and the commander in charge of transporting grain at that time went to Beijing for trial.

  The Hussar General, isn't he Shen Jin?

  When Wen Ning heard the news, she felt a little...subtle.

  In this life, Pei You and Shen Jin actually had a confrontation.

  According to her understanding of Pei You, it is absolutely impossible for him to have a relationship with Shen Jin. It can be seen that he lied to food...it may be true.

And Shen Jin is a loyal and upright person. He will tell the truth when Emperor Jiahe sends him back. He will not deliberately suppress him because of the prison between him and Pei You, nor will he treat him because she is now Pei You's wife. cover up.

  Shen Gaolan had joined King Rui's camp before, and wondered if he would use Shen Jin to help King Rui do something in it.

  But Pei You is so sure that nothing will happen to her...

Why.

  Knowing that he is the most strategizing person and has no plans, I still can't help but worry about him.

  As for Wen Lan, after taking such a big case, it suddenly became very popular. From time to time, people came to visit the Wen residence, and Wen Ning deliberately noticed that there were people from King Rui and the Fourth Prince.

  Who was the mastermind of the Southwest epidemic was completely unclear for a while.

  Wen Ning thought about it for a few days, and decided not to bother others, if the large pieces couldn't be embroidered, then embroidered a belt for Pei You, and he would be happy when he came out and gave it to him.

  The two cases have caused such great turmoil in the court, and naturally they have attracted much attention among the people.

  Some people are filled with righteous indignation, accusing the people behind the manipulation of the epidemic as devoid of conscience, a crime comparable to "stealing the country"; there are also voices of doubt, how can the epidemic be man-made? What is the purpose? Just to earn those taels of black-hearted money?

  The case of "cheating" military rations has aroused various debates among the people, and even some scholars in schools started talking about it. Is it right or wrong to "cheat military rations" for the people in extraordinary times?

   In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed, and the court has yet to act, while the people are already buzzing.

  In the wing room of Yunting Building, once the doors and windows were closed, the voices of those arguments were isolated from the outside.

Wen Qi sat down and asked: "How is it? Is there a conclusion yet? I thought you were 80% or 90% sure that you would expose the matter above the court. Now that it has been delayed for so long, if you don't give an explanation, the people will complain." Boiling, I am afraid you will not be able to deal with business."

  Wen Lan still had his official uniform, and there were too many people who went to Wen Mansion to find out the truth recently, so he directly made an appointment with Wen Qi at Yuntinglou.

   "Of course the mastermind behind the scenes is sure, and I have obtained the evidence two days ago, so there will be no mistakes." Wen Lan said warmly.

  Wen Qi raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

  Wen Lan silently mouthed: "King Rui."

  Wen Qi sneered unsurprisingly. It was indeed right for him not to enter the officialdom. There is no clear master in the upper echelon, so why waste his enthusiasm to help the evildoers?

   "Can you find out why?" Wen Qi whispered.

Wen Lan sighed, and lowered her voice: "The Wutong Lane incident hit him hard, and the Fourth Prince attacked him again and again, leaving him almost powerless to fight back. This idea came to him when he was grounded. He concluded that the epidemic When the outbreak broke out, no one in the court dared to respond. At that time, he volunteered to go to the epidemic area, and won the hearts of the people and the king. Unexpectedly, this matter was cut off by the prince, and he tried his best to transport food. Let the son die in Wuxi and never come back."

   "You simply don't treat ordinary people as human beings!" Wen Qi gritted his teeth, "Since it's so clear, why don't you procrastinate to report it?"

  Wen Lan sighed again: "It's true that the epidemic was deliberately introduced into Lingnan, but he wasn't the one who hyped 'Congshu' at the time."

"That is…"

  Wen Lan nodded without waiting for Wen Qi to say it.

   Besides the fourth prince, who else is there? He didn't have a strong mother clan as his backing, and he wasn't favored when he was young. Emperor Jiahe didn't give him much rewards, so he probably felt that everything he did was going to cost money, so he turned his idea of ​​earning money on the epidemic.

  Taking advantage of the situation to make a fortune in national calamity, why not do it?

"Although there are various indications that it is undoubtedly the fourth prince, he is much more cautious than King Rui. After searching these days, no evidence can be found." Wen Lan raised his forehead, "You know that once this case is reported, it will be closed once it is closed. Well, even if evidence is found in the future, it will be difficult to find out and convict the fourth prince. Therefore, it has been delayed until now, and I always want to catch them all."

  Wen Qi lowered his eyes and pondered: "What does your son think?"

   "Your Majesty, let me make my own decision." Wen Lan still sighed, "But... after all, I'm not reconciled."

  Knowingly, if it wasn’t for Chu Heng’s secretly hyping up the “congshu”, leaving the people without medicine, the Lingnan epidemic would not have reached such a situation.

  He saw the suffering of Wuxi at that time with his own eyes, and saw so many people lose their lives because of it, how could he be willing to easily let go of the culprit?

   "Brother, in three to five days, it's time for Shen Jin to return to Beijing." Wen Qi looked at Wen Lan and said.

  When Shen Jin returned to Beijing, the case of military rations was about to be tried.

  Although they all believed that it was impossible to "cheat food" at the beginning, otherwise, how could Shen Jin not notice such a big move of sending food?

   But in any case, the misappropriation of military rations is true.

  According to the laws of Dayin, moving is a felony.

   King Rui hated Pei You, if he hadn't been pulled down before then, then his fans would clung to this matter and incite public opinion, things would be much more difficult.

  Wen Lan couldn't make up his mind, so he called Wen Qi to discuss it. Seeing what he said, he nodded with difficulty.

  Greed is not enough to swallow elephants. The two princes have been in business for many years. It is not easy to catch one of them this time and make him unable to turn around.

On the afternoon when King Rui was captured, he was teasing Lin'er, who was less than one year old, in the yard. While smiling and talking to him, he was happily thinking that Shen Jin would arrive in two or three days. It's Beijing.

  When he got the news and knew that Pei You was interested in military rations, he immediately thought of Shen Gaolan.

   The hussar general stationed in Lingnan is the second son of the Shen family!

   They only need to do one game.

When Pei You applied for food transfer to the Southern Expeditionary Army, he pretended to agree, but he denied it when he turned around, saying that he had passed on a false military order. The document with the fake military seal can put all the blame on Pei You.

  Fake military orders, forged military seals, defrauded military rations, multiple crimes and punishment, can he still be safe and sound? !

  When Shen Jin returns to the capital, he only needs to clenched his teeth and know nothing about it, and he has never seen the food adjustment document, so Pei You can't argue with it, and he has no power to turn around!

  King Rui just thought about it, and he felt comfortable all over. He wished he could ride a horse to bring Shen Jin to Beijing quickly.

  It was at this time that a large number of officers and soldiers poured into Prince Rui's mansion, and Wen Lan, the leader, shouted loudly: "Dali Temple handles the case, idlers, etc., don't act rashly!"

  Little Sizheng, dare to come to Tarui Palace to play wild? !

  But when he was taken to Dali Temple and saw that the presiding judge was Emperor Jiahe, he couldn't make any sound.

   And the Dali Sizheng, whom he despised, listed all the evidence that he introduced the epidemic from northern Xinjiang.

  The testimonial blood testimonial before the middleman was killed, another symptomatic prescription found in his study, and even the corresponding medicinal materials he hoarded in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Father, my son doesn't have it! How dare my father, my son!" King Rui went from denying it at the beginning to crying for mercy, "Father, my son just wants to have a chance to make meritorious deeds! My son just wants you to see I see, Erchen can step forward when Dayin is in trouble! I just want you to see me! I didn’t expect things to be so serious! After the epidemic spread, the little medicine that Erchen hoarded is no longer enough Look, that's why it hasn't been handed over to the imperial court!"

  Jiahe Di was furious and laughed back: "You didn't expect things to be so serious? Who tampered with the court's food? I'm not old enough to be blind!"

   kicked King Rui's chest, causing him to fall to the ground in embarrassment.

   When he was finally taken down, King Rui didn't beg for mercy, but laughed maniacally.

"Father, it's just because I'm not the son of the queen! Father, since you love your queen so much, why did you give birth to us? Did you give birth to us and watch us kill each other, Father? Father, you will have retribution ! Both you and your queen will have retribution hahahaha!"

  In the interrogation hall, laughter was endless, and everyone present quietly looked into the emperor's bright red eyes, and bowed their heads silently.

  The southwestern epidemic was actually planned by His Highness King Rui. As soon as the news came out, the common people were in an uproar.

   How many lives are there! It was a catastrophe that almost spread across the country! Are the emperor and nobles so disregarding the lives of the common people?

  The capital was full of condemnation, demanding that the court severely punish King Rui and his henchmen. And the imperial court also reacted quickly, and immediately ordered Mr. Zhengwen of Dali Temple to continue the investigation.

  Wen Ning was guessing that it was Chu Heng a few days ago, but unexpectedly it was King Rui again.

  He really... ruined his good hand.

   After being surprised, he was a little happy. For such a serious crime, King Rui would have to die half of his life if he didn't die. It was impossible to regain his strength. So... the Xuanping Rebellion that she has been worrying about all along, is it gone? !

  That night, Wen Ning went to Wen Lan's yard with the wine in hand: "Brother is still amazing! To you!"

  Wen Lan didn't dare to drink that glass of wine: "It's not that the elder brother is amazing, it's that the good husband that I, Ah Ning found is amazing."

  Wen Ning turned his head, Pei Youren is still squatting in Dali Temple, what does it have to do with him?

   "All of these were arranged by your husband before he entered Dali Temple." Wen Lan didn't take any credit for it, "I just followed the clues he gave to find evidence, and I don't even know who gave me the clues."

  Wen Ning stared wide-eyed, then nodded again: "Well, my Master Pei is quite powerful."

  Wen Lan: "..."

   Want to drive away customers.

   "How did you plan on the military ration matter?" Because of Wen Lan's handling of the epidemic, she couldn't ask directly. The military ration case is not his official business, so it shouldn't hurt to say a few more words to her?

  Wen Lan sighed: "I don't know."

He only knew that Pei You had personally been to the Southern Expedition army camp at that time, and the batch of food was indeed sent by the Southern Expedition army in person. Everyone thought that he had obtained the permission of Emperor Jiahe to use the army rations. Is there such a thing?

   "I'm afraid there is still an uphill battle to be fought." Wen Lan took a sip of his wine while looking up.

   King Rui's henchmen dare not move any more, what about the fourth prince? This person can even make money out of the country, so it's hard to guarantee his attitude towards Pei You.

   Even Wen Lan didn't know about it.

  When he was in Wuxi, the person Pei You trusted the most was Wen Lan, and even Wen Lan didn't know about it, so Pei You probably... Actually, there is no countermeasure, right? !

  Wen Ning became a little unsteady again.

  After returning to the room, he yelled "Sixteen, Eleven, Tubai" over and over again, but there were no hidden guards around him.

   Until the day when Shen Jin entered Beijing, she couldn't sit still.

   No... go to Shen Jin and ask? Let's see what happened to the original batch of military rations.

  In case...in case Pei Youzhen used some abnormal means to obtain that batch of military rations, she could still...

  Wen Ning thought with a cheeky face, it was really impossible, she could rely on the remaining sliver of affection between her and Shen Jin, and asked him to be cautious about this matter as appropriate.

  But Pei You certainly doesn't like this kind of thing.

  She also promised him before that she would never see Shen Jin again.

  Wen Ning was fidgeting in Xiangti Garden, let alone sleeping, and couldn't even eat. If you don't go to Shen Jin, if he goes to Dali Temple tomorrow and say something, it will be a final decision and cannot be changed.

  If he went, how would she tell him? In what capacity did you speak to him?

  After hesitating for an hour or two, Wen Ning still decided to go out.

  Don't ask Shen Jin to say something that goes against the facts, but when she goes to find out what happened, she always has some bottom line in her heart, doesn't she?

  She changed her clothes and called Linglan, planning to put on a cloak to cover her face, go quietly, and come back quietly.

  People haven’t left the Xiangti Garden yet, the long-lost Shiliu came, just like last time, knelt down on one knee in silence, holding up a letter.

   Finally messaged her again!

  Wen Ning was overjoyed, took it and opened it hastily.

  Familiar handwriting as always, only one line as always, this time the candle is still on, but it is written in black and white, clearer than last time—

   "Dare to see my concubine, my leg will be broken."

  Wen Ning: "..."
