After He Jingzhong and Wen Yuanbo saw this scene with their own eyes, they were so frightened that they did not dare to stay here any longer and hurried back to their homes.
The two of them had the same idea, which was to take care of the baby with their son as soon as possible. No matter who gave birth to the baby first, it would be the same for the family.
But neither of them knew that their troubles had just begun.
Imperial Palace, Wuying Palace,
Emperor Liang felt very complicated after hearing the news reported by his ministers about what happened in the Palace of Yama outside the city.
He was very glad that he did not order Yama Luodian to force him to come, but he was also very frustrated because it might be difficult for him to contact Yama Luodian.
Just when he was irritable, a censor suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan to report!"
Emperor Liang looked down and found that the censor was from the prince's side. He couldn't help but hold his forehead in his heart. His son must be too impatient.
He understood what the censor wanted to do. He hesitated for a moment and felt that King Yu's power was too huge and needed to be pruned.
Moreover, after He Jingzhong sided with King Yu, he had already arranged a lot of manpower for King Yu. If He Jingzhong was allowed to work for a few more years, I'm afraid there would be no other choice but to make King Yu the emperor.
He does not want his throne to be passed on to someone with Hua blood in the future.
Now that he had made up his mind, he asked seriously, "Speak!"
After the censor got the permission, as if he had received encouragement, he immediately held up a memorial and said, "Your Majesty, He Jingzhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has committed corruption and accepted bribes."
He Jingzhong was already a little depressed. After hearing this, he immediately shouted angrily, "Don't spit on others with blood. I have always been an upright official and I have never embezzled money."
The censor was well prepared. He ignored He Jingzhong at all, but said sternly, "Your Majesty, He Jingzhong paid most of his family property for his son this time, and the amount actually reached six to seven hundred thousand taels. He paid for
How much is the salary for being an official for so many years? Where did you get so much money?"
After hearing what the censor said, Emperor Liang also realized that something was wrong.
You should know that in order to raise enough money, Uncle Wen Yuan sold off most of his ancestral property. He almost wiped out all the wealth accumulated by his family over several generations before he could raise enough money.
Of course, there is also part of the land and property, land that the He family obtained cheaply through various means, but it only accounts for a small part.
But what about He Jingzhong? He didn't even use the family's silver. He just raised so much silver on his own. Something was really wrong.
Then, Emperor Liang's face became gloomy, and he asked in a cold voice, "He Jingzhong, come and explain to me, where does your money come from?"
…
Wangfu, Wangyue Pavilion
Mei Changsu bowed to Wang Yue respectfully, and then sighed and said, "Brother, you really have a plan. Have you never thought of letting He Jingzhong go?"
Yan Yuqing and Nihuang are here together. Although she likes to hear others praise her husband, she doesn't understand what Mei Changsu means.
So, she asked curiously, "Second brother, who is your eldest brother?"
Nihuang had already figured it out, so she explained with a smile, "The eldest brother deliberately announced all the family properties of Wen Yuanbo and He Jingzhong, just to let people know that the two people have a large amount of property from unknown sources.
Although Daliang is not accused of having a huge amount of property of unknown origin, once the emperor asks, these two people must explain clearly. If the explanation is not clear, the emperor can take the opportunity to capture them."
Yan Yuqing woke up from a dream, and she said very excitedly, "Although their son has been let go by the Palace of Hell, the court's laws will not let them go."
Mei Changsu also nodded and said seriously, "Your Majesty was punishing those who had seized fertile land, and it happened that Wen Yuanbo and He Jingzhong were both hit by the gun.
Although Uncle Wen Yuan's methods were a little gentler, he just forced people to sell to them at low prices, but there are many wealthy families, like Qing Guogong, who directly seek wealth and death.
The emperor originally had the idea of taking Qing Guo's public sword, but Qing Guo Gong was killed cleanly by his eldest brother, so His Majesty's plan came to nothing.
Now that Uncle Wen Yuan is in the hands of Your Majesty, he is also a target to scare the monkeys, and Your Majesty will definitely not let it go."
Wang Yue was praised, but he did not feel proud at all. He said very indifferently, "There is another advantage of Emperor Liang killing Wen Yuanbo, which is to win the hearts of some people. After all, the incident of Wen Yuanbo's son Qiu Ze caused a lot of trouble."
It’s too big, and if the court leaves it alone, the people will become unpopular.”
Yan Yuqing nodded. She understood Uncle Wen Yuan's method of death, and said with some confusion, "What about He Jingzhong, the Minister of Civil Affairs? Although he deserves his punishment, does he also want to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys?"
Nihuang knew that Yan Yuqing didn't understand, so he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you may not know that He Jingzhong has deployed a large number of manpower for King Yu over the years since he joined King Yu, which has reached a level that His Majesty cannot tolerate.
, this is his way to die!"
Yan Yuqing suddenly realized, and then said happily, "Now Yang Xinliu and the victims are happy. Not only did they get compensation, but their enemies were also killed. There is simply no happier thing than this."
Mei Changsu thought the same way. He had always known the gap between him and Wang Yue, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big.
…
In fact, as Wang Yue and others guessed, both He Wenxin and Wen Yuanbo were ordered to have their homes confiscated by Emperor Liang.
Wen Yuanbo and He Jingzhong, who had lost their money, did not expect that although their son escaped the judgment of the Hall of Hell, he did not escape the judgment of the law.
The two pairs of father and son were sentenced to beheading respectively, and all the women in the family rushed into the priest's square.
The people of Jinling were very happy with this result.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, the villain not only compensated the victim with some property, but also escaped the punishment of death. This is simply people's ideal way of trial.
This incident not only gave Wang Yue's Yama Luodian a huge power of faith, but also the people of Daliang recognized Daliang more highly.
Just when the people all over the city were discussing the affairs of the Heqiu family, a man wearing a ghost mask came to Yangliuxin.
Yangliuxin's madam was counting the banknotes when he suddenly felt someone beside him. He quickly looked around and was so frightened by the ghost in front of him that he knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Master Gui Cha, the old woman has never done anything harmful to nature. Please spare the old woman!"
Wang Yue didn't care whether the madam had done anything harmful or not. As long as no one asked for help, he would generally not take the initiative to help.
So, he said very coldly, "Have you ever done this kind of thing? You know in your heart that as long as our Yama Luodian gets help, we will definitely take action.
Now I come to you to buy two people from you, and I ask the madam to agree."
The madam was relieved. She was just a spokesperson. She was not responsible for the harmful things. She was really worried about taking the blame for others.
Seeing that Wang Yue just wanted to buy someone, she quickly asked, "Whoever you want, sir, just take it away. Why should we talk about whether to buy it or not?"
Wang Yue sneered and refused very coldly, "It's better to pay for your money. If you satisfy me and make up for the bad things you have done in time, maybe someone will pay for your life."
When the time comes, I will help you apply for a deferment."
The madam was sweating. She understood Wang Yue's meaning and quickly asked, "I wonder which two people you want to buy away?"
Wang Yue looked at the old bustard and said word by word, "Xin Yang, Xin Liu!"
The madam was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and said, "Sir, these are the two signboards of our store. Can you give me some time?"
Wang Yue snorted coldly and asked with a half-smile, "What do you think?"
The madam felt a strong murderous aura that made him tremble all over. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Sir, I will call them over right now. You just take them away. I will also get you the deed of betrayal.
Just give me the original price."
Seeing that the madam had finally given in, Wang Yue snorted and said, "Then why don't you go do some business!"
After the madam got the order, he wanted to get up and walk out, but he found that his legs seemed to have lost consciousness and couldn't use the strength, so he hurriedly climbed out with all his strength.
After crawling to her box with such difficulty, she felt that she had regained her legs, and quickly found Xin Yang Xin Liu's contract of sale, then walked to Wang Yue with difficulty, and said respectfully, "Sir
, the deed of betrayal you want!"
Wang Yue checked it, and then chopped down the old bustard with a knife. After leaving some money, he went to Xin Yang Xin Liu's room.
Xin Yang Xin Liu seemed to have been waiting for Wang Yue to arrive. After they saw Wang Yue come in, they quickly knelt down in front of Wang Yue and said, "My lord, because of my sister's plan, my two sisters are very grateful. Please let me go."
My two sisters serve by your side to repay your kindness."
Everyone likes sisters, but Wang Yue doesn't like them. He just waved his hands and said, "You guys! You are both rich men with hundreds of thousands of taels, so you should live and enjoy your life."
.”
Seeing that Wang Yue was unwilling to take them in, Xin Yang was very frightened and said, "Sir, it's not that the two sisters from the slave family are relying on you. In fact, women like us who have been in brothels can be seen by anyone with a little bit of discernment.
come out.
Even if we take a lot of money, we probably won't be able to live a normal life in the Jiangzuo Alliance's territory.
Although the heroes of the Jiangzuo League can help us deal with the gangsters, can they still help us deal with the white-eyed neighbors?
Therefore, we two sisters beg you to take refuge with your Majesty, even if we are slaves, we are willing to do so."
