wealthy queen

Chapter 397 Xie's family is imprisoned, and the three princes of Wei Kingdom have arrived!

The people Shen Liang asked Lei Zhen to send to Yang Wanli were the relatives of the direct victims of the two cases. After a simple interrogation, Yang Wanli quietly brought them into the palace for interrogation by the emperor himself, and reported that they were in the process of investigating the case. The fact that witnesses and material evidence disappeared one after another, the emperor seemed to be particularly sensitive in this regard, and immediately realized something, without further ado, he directly ordered Qin Yuntian who was ordered not to leave the palace to be arrested in the prison.

When Mr. Zeng Ge received the news, Qin Yuntian had already entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The dignified Mr. Ge went to visit the prison in person, but was blocked by Yang Wanli with His Majesty's order that no one could visit him. He realized the seriousness of the matter, Elder Zeng Ge immediately asked the spies in the palace, and when he learned that Yang Wanli had found two fish that escaped the net and sent them to the palace, he was so angry that he almost smashed the study.

During this period, the former master of the six poems was the third prince of Wei State. Xie Yan, who was kicked out of the house by Xie's family many years ago, had long been the third prince's concubine. I have seen Fu Yunxi often go to the shop to help, and under the deliberate guidance of the dark guards who mixed in with the people, there were no bad rumors. A letter written by himself pointed out that he had been colluding secretly with the Wei State for many years, with the aim of seizing the Great Qin Dynasty. Elder Ge left his heart, just as Shen Liang and the others had expected, they took off Elder Xie's hat and put him in prison to await trial.

After this incident spread, the disciples of Mr. Xie Ge did not mess around because he had greeted him in advance. However, there are countless people in the world. There are many people who worship Mr. Xie Ge. After learning about this, those people gathered Go to the gate of the palace to ask for orders, and ask the emperor to return Xie Ge's innocence. Don't trust treacherous officials to frame a frame and wrong a generation of good officials.

"I didn't know that Mr. Xie Ge still has such charisma!"

In the imperial study room, after hearing the report from the Imperial Forest Army, the emperor's face was gloomy. What he cared most about was that others won the hearts of the people, but he seemed to be nothing as an emperor, and none of the people praised him. In short, he was just jealous , the more people pleading for Xie Ge's life outside, the more unwilling he is to let him go.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xie Ge has always been an upright and upright official. All literati have integrity. There is nothing wrong with admiring him."

Elder Zeng Ge bowed his head and smiled sweetly. He seemed to be helping Elder Xie Ge to speak, but in fact he was adding fuel to the flames. Elder Zhao Ge, who was also staying in the imperial study, frowned and swept away With a glance at him, if an old fox like them who has been through three emperors can't see what's going on here, then he has lived his whole life in vain, but he didn't stand up to speak for Xie Ge. It's because the timing is not right now, the more he intercedes, the more he may hurt Lao Xie. Furthermore, people are selfish, and he doesn't want to get involved in those right and wrong. Seeing that the court is getting more and more corrupt, he once The elder Ge, whose country is for the people, no longer has the motivation to work hard, and just wants to keep his family and get by.

"Hmph, pedantic!"

Sure enough, the emperor snorted coldly. At this moment, Yang Wanli begged to see him, and the emperor ordered Yang Anxuan to see him. Seeing this, Mr. Zeng Ge stepped aside, secretly wondering why Yang Wanli came here. Now he has two The most important case of Zong, one is that Mr. Xie Ge colluded with Wei Guo, and the other is Qin Yuntian's enclosure of land and other matters, both of which are closely related to them.

"Chen Yang Wanli pays homage to His Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Yang Wanli strode in quickly, and the emperor waved his hands: "Pingshen, Aiqing is asking to see you at this time, but is there something wrong?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, when I investigated the case of Elder Xie Ge's collusion with the State of Wei, I accidentally discovered that the letters that Elder Xie Ge wrote to the Lord of Wei State were written slightly differently from the letters that Elder Xie Ge often communicated with. According to this point As for the clues, Weichen suspects that someone is trying to maliciously frame Mr. Xie Ge with the help of rumors circulating outside. Following this clue, Weichen really found clues and caught a man who is very good at imitating handwriting and engraving private seals. With a smooth tongue, Weichen wrote a letter and stamped it with a private seal, asking him to copy it on the spot and engrave the private seal on it. Your Majesty, this is Weichen and him, as well as Mr. Xie Ge and his friend and those few letters. To report his letter, you can carefully compare where the pen is written, and then look at the private seal to understand."

After finishing speaking, Yang Wanli took out a few letters and presented them. Mr. Zeng Ge didn't respond to what he said, but his heart was shocked. How could it be possible?The people who copied letters and carved private seals were all from his family, how could he catch them outside?He personally checked those letters, and they were no different from the letters that Lao Xie had communicated with people in the past, so how could he find anything unusual? He has been an official in the same dynasty for decades, he is still very sure of this.

However, it is impossible for Yang Wanli to be aimless, so what is going on now?

The emperor was also very puzzled. After receiving a few letters and comparing them carefully, he found the strangeness among them. The first is where the pen was written. No matter what the last one is, Mr. Xie Ge has the habit of writing that word a little bit longer and thinner. The people who copied him didn't seem to notice this. Even if it was a two-by-two comparison, no one would notice it if no one deliberately mentioned it. Then there is the private print. Xie Ge's private print has been used for many years, and the texture is relatively light, and the frame Because his seal is newly made, even if it is as old as possible, the texture is still deeper. These two points are not noticed by ordinary people. Only a very serious comparison can find the difference, so it is enough to explain that, Xie Ge was always wronged, those few letters were deliberately framed and forged.

"bump!"

After a while, the emperor slapped the dragon case, and stood up with wide eyes and a whoosh: "Where is the person who copied the letter? Did he explain who made him frame the important officials of the court?"

The matter has come to this point, even if the emperor still suspects Mr. Xie Ge in his heart because of those rumors, he has to respond. After all, Mr. Xie Ge is the elder of the three dynasties. He is the assistant minister left to him by the late emperor. The emperor can't touch him either.

"Just outside the palace, Wei Chen has already interrogated him first, and he refused to explain who made him frame Mr. Xie Ge, but..."

Speaking of this, Yang Wanli stopped suddenly, and glanced at Elder Zeng Ge who was not far away. After noticing this, Elder Zeng Ge groaned in his heart, what's going on?Could it be that that person was really taken from his house?

"But what? Say it!"

The emperor was furious and did not notice Yang Wanli's glance. The latter pondered for a while and said, "According to the files I found in the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, this person is the guest minister of Zengge's old mansion."

"what?!"

"impossible!"

The emperor and Elder Zeng Ge yelled out almost at the same time, the former was skeptical, while the latter was denial.

"Mr. Zengge, I dare not frame you. According to the household registration files of Jingzhao Mansion, this person's name is Wan Gui. He is a scholar who failed the rankings many years ago. Because he failed the examinations repeatedly, he could only copy famous calligraphy and paintings as an excuse. Sir, because you took pity on his talent and couldn't bear his downfall, you called him into the mansion as a guest minister to assist you in handling some unimportant official documents donated, I wonder if Elder Zeng Ge has any impression?"

Ignoring the emperor, Yang Wanli raised his head and looked at Elder Zengge. In fact, everything he said today was arranged by Shen Liang. The difference in the letters was discovered by those who were very good at copying in the Netherworld Guard, and Wangui was also them. Those who were captured and sent to the Ministry of Punishment, now the Yang family and Prince Qingping's mansion can be said to be interdependent. Since Princess Qingping wants to keep Mr. Xie Ge, he naturally has to do his best.

"There is indeed a Keqing named Wan Gui in this official mansion, and he is also very good at copying other people's calligraphy and paintings. As for whether he can engrave private seals, I don't know, but the Keqing of Ge Lao Mansion may also have access to some confidential documents at ordinary times. , and are not allowed to leave the house casually, I wonder how Yang Shangshu caught him? And, how can you be sure that he is Wangui himself?"

Even though there was already a huge wave in his heart, Zeng Ge's face was still calm, and there was no abnormality at all.

"Is it true that Mr. Zeng Ge knows it at a glance?"

Ignoring his previous question for the time being, Yang Wanli turned to the emperor with a cloudy face, wondering what he was thinking: "Your Majesty, Wan Gui is outside the palace, please allow him to enter."

"Xuan."

The emperor glanced at Elder Zeng Ge gloomyly, and almost gritted his teeth, he said a word, he is fatuous, but not so stupid that he can't be cured. Seeing this, he almost guessed something.

At the same time, Qingping Palace.

"My lord, they are here."

It is inevitable that Xie Ge is old and cannot stand the pain of prison. Shen Liang has arranged a series of things in the past two days. To make the emperor jealous of him even more, if he reveals something in the future, the emperor will not think so much, and will definitely deal with him immediately with thunderous means.

"How long will it take to enter the city?"

Hearing Lei Zhen's report, Shen Liang, who was practicing calligraphy, paused, with a relieved smile on his lips, and finally came.

"It's almost in the city at this time."

"Okay, send a letter to Huaiyang Marquis Mansion and Murong's family, inviting Xiao Zhuozi and old Wei Mingri Palace to meet."

"Yes."

Lei Zhen took the order to go, Shen Liang continued to practice calligraphy with a smile on his mouth, too many things happened recently, each of which was a major event, so he started to practice calligraphy, meditating every day , The more this is the case, the more they need to be calm. Only when they face the problem calmly can they truly solve the problem.

palace, imperial study

Not long after, a tall and thin man who looked to be in his 30s was ushered in by a young eunuch.

"Grass, the grass people kowtow to His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The man raised his head to look at the tall emperor, his legs softened and he knelt down on the ground. The emperor ignored him, turned his head and said, "Does Zeng Aiqing know this person?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this person is indeed Wangui, a guest of the Veteran's House."

His identity was confirmed at a glance, Mr. Zeng Ge could not deny it, and bowed down to admit Wangui's identity.

"bump!"

The emperor suddenly took a look at the dragon case, glared and said sharply: "Zeng Aiqing, both you and Xie Ge are the assistant ministers left to me by the late emperor. I didn't expect you to instruct Ke Qing to frame Xie Ge. What should you do?"

"Your Majesty was wronged, and the old minister doesn't know what's going on."

Elder Zeng Ge categorically denied it, turned his head and scolded angrily: "Wangui, I have treated you well, why are you going to put me to death? Who ordered you?"

"I... Grassman..."

Wan Gui wanted to deny it, but the more anxious he became, the more he couldn't explain clearly. At this moment, the emperor's shadow guard commander suddenly appeared: "Your Majesty, the third prince of the Wei Kingdom is holding the Wei Huang Guoshu, and together with the third prince and concubine, came to visit Daqin. Coming to the palace."

"what?"

Why was there no news at all beforehand?

The emperor sternly shouted, his face livid and distorted, who are the third prince and concubine of Wei?Fu Yunxi and Xie Yan came to visit suddenly, and they brought Wei Huang's credentials. If they knew that Xie Ge's old family was still locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Wei Guo would be offended by them and died. By then... …

The emperor didn't dare to think about it at all, so he hurriedly made people prepare to welcome the three princes of Wei and his wife, and ordered Yang Wanli to release Xie Ge's family immediately, and Zeng Ge, who had always treated him indifferently, finally changed his face, but now there is no one Will pay special attention to it.
