There is still a conspiracy

Author: Ren Zelin

"Li Hongzhong, the last number one scholar in the previous dynasty!"

Ji Youze nodded, "It is indeed him!"

The emperor looked at him and chuckled, "It's basically consistent with your prediction!"

Ji Youze nodded.

Lu Zezhong looked towards them.

"Prediction... prejudgment? You... you don't know the identity of the elder of the Li family at all. You are deceiving me!"

Ji Youzhi looked at him and sneered: "Didn't I tell you earlier that the Li family has been arrested by us, but I haven't interrogated them yet.

If I want to interrogate him, I have to get some information from you first. It was you who was uneasy and frightened by the poison in your body, so you told the truth."

When Ji Youzhi said this, he took the emperor's tea cup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before continuing the interrogation.

"What happened next? Since you two have been honest with each other, you must have done some tricks later, right?"

"That's natural."

Lu Zezhong had nothing to hide at this time, so he told everything.

"Li Hongzhong showed his identity to me. Naturally, he did not want to have tea with me to reminisce about old times. There was a big fire in Prince Qing's palace, and the late emperor was furious. He was bound to get to the bottom of it. I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat in the morning.

So when I met him, I naturally asked him to find a way to see how this matter could be resolved as soon as possible.

He pointed out the way for me, saying that rumors would spread all over the capital soon, and asked me to find an opportunity to let Liu Yuheng, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, who had just taken office in the capital, take over the case. As long as it was declared a natural disaster later, this matter would not happen.

What’s the problem?”

"How brave!"

The emperor couldn't help but take pictures of the imperial case.

Ji Youzhi said quickly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The secret matter is almost over. Please wait patiently for a while. As long as we find out the truth, we can comfort the prince's spirit in heaven."

The emperor rubbed his sore temples, then waved his hand, asking him to continue asking.

Ji Youzhi continued to ask.

"So Liu Yuheng was really dragged into the pirate ship by you."

"Yes! The day after the fire broke out in Prince Qing's Mansion, there were rumors in the capital that the fire was most likely set by the late emperor. It is said that the reason why he did this was because Prince Qing had the intention of treason. Such rumors have always

After coming out, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and all the places that could investigate the case did not dare to take the case. They all complained about illness or because there were too many cases, and they wanted to investigate the disappearance of the eldest princess, etc., so the case fell on Liu Yuheng.

Later, Liu Yuheng pretended to investigate and reported to the emperor with a bunch of evidence of natural disasters, and then determined that the fire in Prince Qing's palace was caused by natural disasters.

This matter passed quickly, and just when I thought nothing would worry me anymore, the Li family came to find me."

"But there are always natural and man-made disasters that require silver from time to time in the world?"

Ji Youzhi asked.

Lu Zezhong nodded, "Yes, he first asked me to find a way to keep Wu Li, the magistrate of Yunhang, in his place.

And every time there was a disaster somewhere, he asked me to allocate all the money for disaster relief. Even if the national treasury was empty, he would definitely let me give enough money, especially Yunhang's disaster relief money, which cannot be missed.

of!"

When he heard him talking about Yunhang's disaster relief money, Ji Youzhi became very angry.

"Did you know that every disaster relief fund provided by the imperial court in recent years has been..."

He didn't finish the rest of what he said, but when he got to the end, he looked like he was about to gnash his teeth.

"Friends! It's important to investigate the truth!"

The emperor wanted to face shame. Many of the disaster relief funds over the years were used by Ji Youcheng in the name of a wealthy businessman friend.

Ji Youzhi glared at Lu Zezhong angrily.

"go on!"

"I have nothing more to say. You all know everything that follows. The list is basically the one written by the Eighth Young Master. Your Majesty is smart and has a good eye for people. He used you brothers from the Ji family when he was young. It is really amazing!"

"Do you really have nothing to say?"

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, slapped the table hard and shouted.

Lu Zezhong's face was ashen and he said nothing.

"He is like this, he really has nothing to say!"

Ji Youzhi finally reported to the emperor.

Ji Youze also stopped.

Princess Lianchun stood up, moved her body and yawned loudly.

"Now that God has made it clear, let's close the case! Don't affect the reputation of the royal family!"

Ji Youzhi thought to himself that the eldest princess was really open-minded. One night, after hearing the secrets of her own mother and aunt, her expression only changed slightly.

From the back, I can actually act like I'm fine.

"Yes! Your Highness Princess!"

The emperor waved his hands and shouted: "Come here, put him in the sky prison. No one can touch him without my order!"

"yes!"

The guards took Lu Zezhong away, and the emperor stood up from the dragon throne.

Aunt Xiao's voice came from outside.

"Why are the two prime ministers still at the door of the royal study? It doesn't look like they have just left court!"

Lin Lian quickly raised his hands and called out "Mother Xiao", but said nothing else.

Instead, Prime Minister Song explained, "I was waiting for the announcement last night. The errands have not been completed yet, and I have not left yet."

Aunt Xiao nodded when she heard this, "I see, the Queen Mother feels sorry for the two prime ministers who are getting old and tired from standing outside the royal study all night, so she specially asked the old slave to bring some food to the two prime ministers to warm themselves up."

Prime Minister Lin and Prime Minister Zuo couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard this.

Before I could think of what to say, I heard Grandma Xiao say.

"Yuanyang, Yue'e, you put all your food in the side hall, and invite the two prime ministers to come over and have a meal!"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Lin and Prime Minister Zuo quickly handed over their hands to express gratitude.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness!"

Aunt Xiao looked serious and made a gesture of invitation to the two adults.

"Two Prime Ministers, please come this way."

Then he took Prime Minister Lin and Prime Minister Zuo to the side hall for dinner.

In the room, the emperor listened to the movement outside and sighed.

"Queen Mother is trying to protect Prime Minister Lin!"

Ji You's brother said nothing.

Princess Lian Chun sighed.

"After all, you are a veteran of three dynasties, and the Queen Mother wants to give him some dignity. You are still young, and it is the time when you are choosing a concubine to become a queen. She definitely doesn't want you to be known as a tyrant."

Princess Lianchun is right, that's what the Queen Mother thinks.

As soon as the news that the dust had settled in the imperial study room reached Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Xiao thought about it again and again, and finally did it at the expense of her face.

"Ai Jia's move! The emperor will definitely feel uncomfortable."

As soon as Empress Dowager Xiao finished speaking, a piece fell on the chessboard.

Xie Pan'er quietly ate her for a while before saying.

"Don't think too much about it. Your Majesty will definitely know your painstaking efforts. Besides, our Majesty is a wise king. He will definitely understand the reason why you do this and will not be angry with you."

"You're not even married yet! You're already talking to him. If you're already married, why don't you start talking to him in everything?"

Xie Pan'er's face suddenly turned red when she heard this, and she lowered her head shyly.

"By the way, the Ai family has been watched by Qin Tianjian for a few days. You can go back and pick a date with the emperor to see when the wedding is suitable!"

Xie Pan'er opened her mouth when she heard the words, but didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"I...I don't...don't choose!"

Nini's.

Queen Mother Xiao found it funny when she saw it.

He reached out and pinched her cheek, "You have to choose even if you don't want to. This is the order of the Ai family. If you resist the order, you will be punished!"

Xie Paner's face instantly became extremely hot!

The Minister of Household Affairs took bribes and colluded with the great wizard of southern Xinjiang to short the national treasury. His crimes were extremely heinous and he was now imprisoned. Notices were posted everywhere after Prime Minister Lin and Prime Minister Zuo left the palace.

At the same time, there were also some lists posted together with this notice, all of which were guilty of accepting bribes.

At the same time, the arson case in Prince Qing's Mansion has been identified and was committed by Li Hongzhong, the elder of the Li family.

This is the truth and it must be made known to the world!

Lu Yunsheng was not the eldest son of Prince Qing. That was a rumor, and a separate notice was issued.

Lu Yunsheng was in bad shape. Even though he had achieved fame, he still became the son of a criminal because of what had just happened.

At this time, he was also imprisoned in the sky prison.

After receiving the news, Mrs. Lu knew that she would not have any good results in the future, so she took her own life.

When Ji Youzhi received the news, he didn't say anything and just asked the brothers at Shenhuatai to handle it properly.

The case committed by Lu Zezhong, let alone the extermination of the nine tribes, was absolutely impossible for the three tribes to escape.

The emperor was kind-hearted and only sentenced Lu Yunsheng to exile for three thousand miles.

Lu Ze was beheaded at Noon Gate.

The female members of the Li family were brought into the Jiaofangsi, while the male members were exiled for three thousand miles, and were incarnated in three clans.

This result for the Li family is really the greatest mercy given by the emperor.

The Li family was uprooted this time, and Li Hongzhong was deprived of his cultivation by Ji Youyuan and imprisoned in a dungeon. Ji Youzhi visited him every day and could get something out of him every time.

Ji Youze entered the palace on the day after the scholars paraded through the streets, and continued to review the results in secret. In the end, it was the result that he suspected in his heart.

"So you suspect that the destruction of Xiling's country was also due to Xun Yang's handiwork?"

A few days later, the emperor, brothers Ji Youzhi and Ji Youze reviewed this major case again in the imperial study!

Ji Youze nodded, "Yes, I suspect that not only Xiling, but also Dongyue is probably in turmoil."

The emperor sat on the dragon throne and stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows.

"What benefits does Xun Yang do to him? If it were done before, our guess is that he wants to turn all the Central Plains people into witchcraft assimilation people.

But now that we have seen through his scheme and stopped all this, I am even more insecure than before."

The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He always felt that there might be a bigger conspiracy here that he had not yet discovered.

When Ji Youzhi saw the emperor rubbing his eyebrows, he couldn't help but look at Ji Youze.

"Don't you already have an idea? Why don't you tell me quickly!"

When Ji Youze heard this, he walked directly to the map hanging on the wall of the imperial study room.

He looked up at the map, pointed at the locations of Xiling, Dongyue, Dahan, and finally pointed at Southern Xinjiang.
