"Corruption of officials is not limited to one person, and corruption of grain is even more so. Someone must cooperate to move and resell it. Yang Xuan, don't think about who can save you. Let me tell you, someone will mention this matter in the court meeting today.
, whether to be exiled to Taiping or to southern Xinjiang depends on whether you confess."
The official's name was Xiao Zheng, but he looked less upright. He sneered and said: "I know you have some reputation in Taiping. If you can be exiled to Taiping, your life will be good. If you are exiled to southern Xinjiang... Which side of southern Xinjiang is opposite to the north?
Xinjiang's civil and military officials don't have a good impression. I heard that prisoners in prison like short sleeves the most. You are so young and tender, how many prisoners will you be a plaything..."
Why hasn't anyone come yet?
Didn’t the old man and Huang Chunhui get memorials?
Does the emperor dare to ignore it?
No way!
Northern Xinjiang has long since lost its dormant state. Huang Chunhui defeated Lin Ya in a battle and could no longer keep a low profile even if he wanted to. So Yang Xuan proposed a big deal, and Huang Chunhui readily agreed.
Since I can't keep a low profile...
Then be high-profile!
But what about memorials?
The emperor had to think twice before entering the palace.
Northern Xinjiang is angry!
What kind of harem does he still have the mind to check and balance?
Damn it!
If so...
Various thoughts were running through Yang Xuan's mind.
When he heard Duan Xiu, he couldn't help but became furious, "Bitch!"
Xiao Zheng sneered, "I will advise Shangshu to exile you to southern Xinjiang!"
Yang Xuan stood up suddenly, and Xiao Zheng said calmly: "You are a small county magistrate, but you dare to get involved in the dispute between nobles. If you don't die, who will die? Come on, I heard that you have some cultivation, why don't you take action?"
Taking action is an added crime.
Shit!
Yang Xuan's eyes were red.
Here’s the memorial!
…
Liang Jing went to the palace today to ask for an audience with the imperial concubine.
"The queen is inside." The concubine's man whispered.
Liang Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Bitch, is this bitch looking for trouble again?"
"It's a demonstration." The chamberlain said frustratedly: "It seems that many people will impeach the empress, as well as Dr. Liang."
"Made!" Liang Jing stamped his feet and wanted to go in, but the chamberlain stopped him, "The queen is inside, and it is a crime to break in."
In the palace, the graceful queen looked down at her former daughter-in-law who was sitting there, and said calmly: "You bewitched His Majesty, so much so that His Majesty indulged in wine and sex all day long, ignored the government affairs, and was charming through the ages. You are the number one."
Foxy is a derogatory term for concubines in the harem.
The imperial concubine sneered, "I don't know what your Majesty means by this. I will tell Your Majesty later."
"Do you think His Majesty is your support?" the queen said softly, "I will make you despair bit by bit."
It was this woman who made the prince a thorn in the emperor's side.
It was this woman who made her a queen in name only.
The queen looked slightly cold, "Damn you bitch!"
Puff puff puff puff!
There were quick footsteps, and Liang Jing's voice came from outside the hall, "What's the matter?"
The Queen sneered, "Liang Jing frequently comes in and out of the palace because of His Majesty's favor. Your brother and sister are shameless!"
"What?" Liang Jing's voice suddenly became louder.
Then, regardless of the rules, he rushed in and said happily: "Mother, Northern Xinjiang Jiedushi Huang Chunhui and others impeached Yang Songcheng of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and that old dog was deposed by Your Majesty."
"Presumptuous!" The queen's body was shaken and she narrowed her eyes, "Ask."
Someone from the palace beside him ran out as fast as he could.
The imperial concubine was ecstatic and said, "Speak clearly."
"Today Zheng Qi deliberately mentioned Yang Xuan's case and wanted to take advantage of the situation to deal with the empress. Who knew that Huang Chunhui and others from Northern Xinjiang had written a memorial, mentioning that money and food had been withheld from Northern Xinjiang for many years, and a lot of moldy food was sent out every year.
You can only feed the pigs..."
Liang Jing said happily: "Zitai was slandered!"
The queen's heart trembled, and she turned around and left.
The imperial concubine stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have already made tea. Why not listen to a song? My Majesty, Your Majesty..."
The queen stumbled when she went down the steps and almost fell.
This plan failed.
It also triggered a backlash in Northern Xinjiang, and the emperor had to deal with Yang Songcheng to give an explanation to the soldiers and people in Northern Xinjiang.
This truth emerged in the minds of the queen and the concubine at the same time.
The imperial concubine's eyebrows were filled with joy. When she turned around and saw Jiao Li's face turned red with joy, she secretly praised in her heart: What a loyal Jiao Li, she must be happy for me.
I just said that that young man is so brave and handsome, how could he be greedy for food?
He looked at me with pity in his eyes. I guess he is a good official who loves his people like his own son. How could he sit back and watch the people starve?
If he is not guilty this time, doesn't that mean he has merit?
Jiao Li was blessed and said, "Congratulations to your Majesty. Your Majesty has been wronged this time, but it is not a bad thing. Your Majesty will definitely give you double compensation."
The imperial concubine was startled, but Liang Jing had already reacted, "Your Majesty, there will definitely be someone from the Ministry of Punishment who wants Zitai to say something unfavorable to your Majesty, but now there are no officials impeaching your Majesty, which shows that Zitai is very loyal to your Majesty!"
What a tough young man... Jiao Li was surprised, "Yes, that Yang Mingfu was so unjustly accused this time."
The imperial concubine covered her forehead, with a touch of guilt on her face that was flushed with excitement, "I have been so busy these days that I forgot about him. He is in the Criminal Department at the moment. Brother, please go quickly. By the way, Jiao Li will also go to the Criminal Department.
!”
Speaking of the latter part, there was a sharpness in the imperial concubine's voice.
"Okay." Liang Jing said eagerly: "The action taken by Huang Chunhui and others in Northern Xinjiang this time is certainly a rebound from being bullied for many years, but it can also be seen that Zitai is quite outstanding in Northern Xinjiang. Madam, this time Zitai has been wronged,
If I don't compensate, I'm afraid he will become resentful."
"I know." The imperial concubine stood up hurriedly, "Quickly, change your clothes and prepare the tulle that Your Majesty likes. By the way, burn incense as well."
Liang Jing took Jiao Li out together.
Halfway through, they met Han Shitou.
"I've met Young Inspector Han."
Han Shitou nodded slightly, and the two sides passed each other.
After walking a while, Han Shitou turned around and looked at the backs of Liang Jing and Jiao Li, and said with a smile: "Let's just say how is it possible? It's true."
Inside the mirror, Zhao Sanfu and Xin Quan were together.
Xin Quan took a bowl of thick broth and took a pleasant sip.
"Northern Xinjiang has been oppressed for too long. You said that Yang Xuan will never be corrupt, so someone took the opportunity to take action. One is to suppress the imperial concubine, and the other is to suppress Northern Xinjiang. But Yang Xuan has military exploits,
If Huang Chunhui and others turn a blind eye to him being framed, the morale of Northern Xinjiang will fall to the bottom, so Huang Chunhui will definitely go crazy."
"Thank you, sir." Zhao Sanfu took a sip of broth.
"Then why aren't you worried?" Xin Quan asked.
Zhao Sanfu put down the bowl.
"If Zitai is really in big trouble, he will naturally have someone come to the mirror to send a message for help."
"And you?"
"If I were in big trouble, if he could help me, I would naturally ask for help. Zitai can be quite cunning at times and likes to trick people the most."
"Interesting friendship." A look of melancholy appeared in Xin Quan's eyes, "Then why didn't you tell the prison gate?"
"Didn't the principal say anything?"
"Baby!"
…
Ministry of Punishment.
Xiao Zheng smiled ferociously, "I have a directory here. The county magistrate Cao Ying is yours, right? There is also Zhen Siwen... There are no eggs left unbroken after the nest is overturned, but I have a way to get away with it."
"What method?" Yang Xuan asked.
Liang Jing took Jiao Li into the Ministry of Punishment. He sneered and said: "You are acting under the orders of the palace and you must not say anything!"
Jiao Li is proof of this statement.
Liang Jing was preparing to give Yang Xuan a surprise... but he couldn't help it. Their brother and sister acted a little coldly this time. After Yang Xuan's incident, they quickly took action to clear things up.
Now that Yang Xuan has made a comeback, he will definitely become famous in Northern Xinjiang in the future. If the siblings don't make up for it, this young man with a bright future will probably be separated from him.
This is why the imperial concubine sent her friend Jiao Li to follow her.
I don't know what happened to the boy. Was he tortured? Or was he abused?
Thinking of those dirty petty officials torturing Yang Xuan, Jiao Li became extremely anxious.
All the way to the outside of the room where Yang Xuan was detained.
I heard a man inside say in such a tempting tone: "Do you have any reasons for embezzling food? For example, it is because you have to give gifts to nobles, so you have no choice but to do so. As long as you tell me, I guarantee that you will be exiled for a maximum of three years. Three years.
He is still a good man after all.”
This is clearly an attempt to induce Yang Xuan to frame the imperial concubine!
Liang Jing was trembling all over.
Jiao Li's face turned livid.
Yang Xuan's voice came.
"You want to say it's for the imperial concubine?"
"right."
Yang Xuan raised his voice, "Even if you exile me overseas, even if you kill me, don't let me slander the imperial concubine!"
Xiao Zheng sneered.
I just wanted to speak.
Boom!
The door was kicked open from outside.
Xiao Zheng turned around and Yang Xuan raised his head.
Liang Jing rushed in and slapped his hand.
Snap!
"How dare you slander my empress!"
Liang Jing is here!
Jiao Li was behind. Seeing that Yang Xuan was intact, she felt relieved and gritted her teeth and said: "Shameless!"
"Liang Jing, you trespassed into the Ministry of Justice without permission, please wait for impeachment!" Xiao Zheng covered his face and cursed.
Then he saw Jiao Li, and his heart trembled.
Liang Jing is domineering and comes as soon as he comes. But he still follows the female official...
This is obviously to pick up Yang Xuan!
"Zitai, I'm too late for you!"
Liang Jing walked over and said distressedly.
"Brother Liang!"
Yang Xuan stood up and cupped his hands, "Wait a minute."
Liang Jing smiled and said, "What are you waiting for? Now you are innocent. Everyone knows that you have been slandered."
Sure enough, the old man and Huang Chunhui took action.
Yang Xuan picked up the stool and walked to Xiao Zheng.
"You scold me for being careless, but you should never, never want to slander the imperial concubine."
Boom!
The stool shattered on Xiao Zheng's head.
Xiao Zheng fell to the ground without saying a word, his head covered with blood.
Damn it, you're just threatening me, why don't you just wash your ass and wait for your sleeves to be cut off?
This is intolerable!
Yang Xuan raised his head.
Several officials in the Ministry of Punishment looked ashen-faced.
They also heard what Xiao Zheng said just now, which can be regarded as a model of how to avoid death if you don't seek death.
Therefore, Yang Xuan's actions were meritorious.
But the Xingbu's face disappeared with this moment.
If Zheng Qi learns of this, he will have to go to court to plead guilty and try his best to clear up the matter.
After leaving the Ministry of Punishment, Liang Jing praised: "Brother, today I know that Tai Ning is an unyielding hero and a good man. I have just collected a few beauties for my brother and have not touched them. I will send them over later."
"No!" Yang Xuan was still preparing to go to the Imperial College to meet Zhou Ning.
"You're seeing someone outside, aren't you?" Liang Jing felt a little guilty and strongly recommended it.
"You must be having an affair. How about you, my brother's old friend?"
grass!
Yang Xuan flatly refused.
What a young man who is not moved by beauty!
Jiao Li's eyes flashed with excitement.
Liang Jing suddenly turned around, "Hey! Why haven't you left yet?"
Jiao Li: "..."
She quickly thought of the reason, "Yang Ming's family came to Chang'an alone, and there is no one around to serve him. I'm thinking that if the empress knows about it, she should be distressed."
Isn't this the wrong word for feeling distressed?
Yang Xuan coughed dryly and said, "No problem."
He prefers to be alone and free.
But later on, I was put on a outer garment called Disobedience, and I couldn't help myself.
"Leave this matter to me." Liang Jing pulled Yang Xuan away without any explanation.
"Don't teach people bad things!" Jiao Li watched the two of them go away, stamping her feet and shaking her head.
She immediately returned to the palace.
Not long after entering the palace, she met the queen and her entourage.
"I've met my empress."
"Don't block the road." A female officer stepped forward and shouted.
When Jiao Li saw that she was on the side of the road, she raised her head and looked ahead calmly, but refused to give way.
"Be bold!"
The female officer stepped forward and slapped her with her palm.
Snap!
All female officials in the palace have compulsory courses, and beating is one of them. How to hit someone quietly, but make the other party suffer unbearable pain and scream in shame; how to slap the other party's cheeks so that they become swollen and ugly...
Jiao Li's cheeks were swollen. She looked straight at the female officer and asked:
"Why?"
The female officer's eyes became stern and she raised her hand.
Snap!
The other cheek was swollen.
Jiao Li's voice was a little unclear, and she still looked at the female officer, "Why?"
The queen just walked over at this moment.
The female officer whispered: "Bitch!"
Jiao Li raised her hand and slapped her away without hesitation.
Snap!
The female officer received such a slap that her cheek was swollen like half a pig's head.
The queen turned around, and the female official beside her shouted: "Bold!"
There were palace attendants passing by in front, and when they saw this, they all bowed their heads and stopped.
Jiao Li said loudly: "I'm sorry, this man first beat the slave, but the slave didn't dare to fight back. But just now, this man called the slave a bitch."
The female officer covered her face and said, "You are a bitch."
Jiao Li didn't look at her, "Although the slave is humble, he is the person close to the imperial concubine. This person said that the slave is a bitch and insults the imperial concubine, so the slave takes action for the imperial concubine."
She slapped her face away again.
Snap!
The female officer's other cheek was swollen.
Jiao Li said to the queen, "Please leave."
She slowly backed up where she was, and then turned around after walking for a while.
After returning to the imperial concubine, she first reported the matter to Yang Xuan.
"Both Mr. Liang and the slave heard that the man lured the Yang Ming Mansion into confessing. As long as the Yang Ming Mansion said that the corruption was for the purpose of giving gifts to the empress, they would be punished lightly. The Yang Ming Mansion will not obey until death... The slave admires him very much."
The imperial concubine felt relieved, and then felt a little guilty, feeling that the young man had suffered.
That scene appeared again in her mind involuntarily.
While vomiting blood, the young man looked at her dreamily: "Your Majesty... she is so beautiful."
Forget it, I owe him this time, I will tell His Majesty later.
She raised her eyes and frowned, "But the Queen's people beat her?"
"yes."
"Reward Jiao Li with ten thousand coins."
The emperor has been spending money lavishly recently, and the rewards are given out casually. The imperial concubine is favored by the Sixth Palace, and her treasure house is piled with money and jewelry. Therefore, she is quite generous with her purchases.
"Thank you, ma'am."
After Jiao Li went out, the imperial concubine saw the envy in the eyes of those in the palace, and said calmly: "When Jiao Li came back, she talked about the business first and did not complain. This is the general understanding."
