Sun En, the Minister of War, turned out to be the official title that Tianwu bought in three years!
The reason why Xiao Chen was able to successfully obtain the border army's defense map was to use this as a blackmail.
It sounds somewhat reasonable.
However, the crime of buying and selling official titles is at best confiscation of the family and exile, while the crime of collaborating with the enemy is not simply the confiscation of the family and the extermination of the clan, but more serious crimes include the execution of three clans!
Sun En, who can climb to the position of Minister of War, should not be a fool.
Si Yiluo smelled a conspiracy.
Half an hour later, Miao Cong handed over the confession, and Si Yiluo looked through it. He confessed to dozens of people. The people on the list ranged from the prime minister's house, to the princes' houses, to the houses of fifth-rank officials in the capital.
There is distribution.
It was an unexpected blessing to be able to catch these people in advance.
Si Yiluo raised the corners of his lips, and Miao Cong said nervously at the side: "Sir, this matter is too involved. Should we wait until the emperor is informed tomorrow before making a decision?"
Wei Heyan had already made complete preparations when he arrested Xiao Chen. The city gates had been under martial law for a long time. The Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army and the Imperial Guards were also scattered throughout the capital to supervise the capital. The outside was loose and the inside was tight. Anyone with abnormalities would have been caught by Wei Heyan.
.
Those people don't have the backbone of Xiao Chen, and they have already dug out a lot of people.
"Are you waiting for all the people to run away tomorrow?" Si Yiluo snorted coldly and ordered, "Take my belt and go to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion to mobilize people, and cooperate with us to arrest people according to their respective divisions!"
Miao Cong paused for a moment and asked: "Chen Qianhu and Cui Qianhu can't get out of bed right now. The injuries of several other Qianhu households are also mild or severe. Do you think it is necessary to temporarily promote a few Hundred households to prevent them from being restrained?
Something went wrong..."
Miao Cong, Miao Cong, you are so smart! He surrendered to her so quickly!
Si Yiluo looked at him with a smile, a look of admiration that he had seen through without saying anything.
"I'll leave this matter to you."
Miao Cong was overjoyed and responded hurriedly: "I will definitely live up to your trust as an official!"
After coming out of the prison, Wei Heyan was looking at her in the silvery moonlight. Si Yiluo looked behind him, but Si Hai, who had been following him, was nowhere to be seen.
"Master," she greeted, her tone becoming softer unconsciously, "It's getting late, Master, why don't you go to bed early."
She only cares subconsciously, but it doesn't sound like this to others.
"Can I understand that once you gain power, you turn your back on me?"
Si Yiluo cupped his fists and said, "I don't dare to do this."
Wei Heyan lowered his eyes.
"Don't you dare? Last night, the governor was interrogating the prisoners inside. Today, it has become the commander's territory. Don't you dare?"
Si Yiluo once again cupped his hands and clasped his fists.
"Master Governor, I still want to arrest Xi Zuo. I will visit you another day."
"Master Si, what a good trick!" Wei Heyan said to Si Yiluo who passed by, "The commander has done his job very well. It seems that I don't need to worry about the guidance of the governor. I congratulate the commander in advance on the victory!"
The calmer his tone, the more calm there is before the storm.
Si Yiluo calmed down and walked away quickly.
The capital city tonight is destined to be uneventful. The footsteps and cries on the street wake people up from their sleep.
As soon as Sun En put on his clothes, the door to his room was kicked open from outside.
Seeing the girl in red appearing in front of him, Sun En calmed his mind, raised his hands and asked: "Master Si came here late at night, why?"
Si Yiluo looked at his room and said: "The case of the theft of the border army's defense map, I have to ask you to come with me and explain the matter clearly."
"So this is what happened..."
Sun En carefully observed her expression, and his mind was full of twists and turns, but he expected that no matter how tough a woman was, her methods would definitely not be as good as that eunuch Wei Heyan. Although he didn't know what the other party found out, he was still very confident on his face.
of.
"Okay, then let me go with Mr. Si."
He really didn't expect that the new official Si Yiluo would attack him on the first day he took office, but this matter was indeed of great importance, and it would be better to explain it clearly as soon as possible.
He walked anxiously to the prison, and when he saw the torture instruments hanging on the wall and the bloody people on the shelves, he turned back to look at Si Yiluo, who had no expression on his face, and suddenly realized that he was terribly wrong!
"Master Sun, please explain carefully what happened in the third year of Tianwu, otherwise he will suffer the end!"
…
Early the next morning, three baskets full of documents about the impeachment of Si Yiluo were carried into the imperial study.
When Wei Heyan came in, the girl was kneeling upright in front of the case.
Emperor Yao put down the list of secret agents in the Northern Liao Dynasty and picked up another secret memorandum. They were the officials involved in the case of buying and selling officials in Tianwu in the third year and the mastermind behind it.
Wei Heyan didn't know the contents of the secret memorial, but he knew from the look on Emperor Yao's face that it was something serious.
He couldn't help but cast his eyes on Si Yiluo.
"Who was present when Sun En was interrogated?"
Emperor Yao looked directly at him, and Si Yiluo replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "When I return to the emperor, I am the only one who has made the confession, and this is the only record of the confession."
Wei Heyan took the tea cup from the waiter and placed it on the dragon table, then glanced at the cover of the secret music.
"It's of great importance, let's put it aside for now. Capture those secret agents of Bei Liao. Even if you, the commander of the Imperial Guard, stand up, don't do anything too radical. The arrests last night made too much noise. Take a look, these are all for impeaching you.
Zhezi, you have attracted more hatred than He Yan did back then..."
The second half of the sentence was in a joking tone. Si Yiluo glanced at Wei Heyan from the corner of his eye, kowtowed and said, "Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Yao waved his hand to the chamberlain to move away the memorial to impeach her. He turned around and said with a smile: "You helped me do things and you didn't do anything wrong. What should I punish you for? Those people just can't bear to have a woman sitting on their head."
You have to do better, so that my promotion of you will not be in vain."
"Yes, I will obey your instructions!"
The Jin Yiwei is the gun in the hands of the emperor, and all officials in the world are afraid of it. To be the commander of the Jin Yiwei, you must be prepared to be a lonely minister. The emperor does not need a popular commander.
There is no need for an incompetent commander.
"If the border army defense map is found, just beat Sun En and let him go. He is still useful for the time being. I remember that there is an empty house opposite He Yan's admiral's house. It was originally King Min's house, but now it is empty.
I’ll reward you when I come out.”
Si Yiluo said yes again, kowtowed his thanks and exited from the imperial study room.
She made quite a stir last night. Most officials in the DPRK and China felt guilty and had long expected that someone was going to impeach her.
However, the impeachment memorial was returned intact, which also gave rise to deeper fear in those who submitted it.
The decree was quickly conveyed to Prince Min's Mansion by the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. After she passed, the servants in the mansion were ready to welcome the new master.
She lay down to catch up on her sleep, and when she opened her eyes again, Miao Cong sent someone to hand over several pages of rumors about her.
Some people say that she was cruel and ruthless in killing her colleagues and superiors, specifically referring to the Qianhu and Baihu that she injured yesterday afternoon.
Someone dug out the transfer order from the Ministry of War and said that she was originally going to report to the capital camp, but was changed to the commander of the Jinyi Guard because she got a chance to meet Wei Heyan in the palace.
She was said to be shameless, unscrupulous, and used Wei Heyan to gain power, and even vaguely mentioned that she might serve the emperor with sex...
Even more viciously, he pulled out the confession she had received when she was granted the title of Thousand Households, alluding to the relationship between the Marquis of Xiping who spoke for her and her, and also said that her military achievements were all earned by selling meat...
Si Yiluo was tired of hearing these rumors in his previous life, except for the last one.
She got up, found pen and ink, and wrote a letter to Xiping Xiao, the Marquis of Xiping. First, she apologized, second, she asked him to reassure the Marquis not to be angry about this matter, and thirdly... it was a way to report to her friend that she was safe.
