Chapter 900 A puddle of muddy water

Only then did someone suddenly realize that no wonder Emperor Wanlong was so angry.

Compared with regicide, the crime Yang Wanli committed could not be smaller.

Different from the chaos outside, the abandoned building is still calm and calm. Even if the people in the building know about it, they are separated by a wall and it is none of their own business. They don't care about the ebb and flow.

The Mu Wangs spared no effort, and naturally they did not dare to neglect. However, what to check and how much they could find out were all calculated by Li Luo and Yin Mohuai. In line with Yin Mohuai's words, it was time for the imperial court to replace Mu Tianlang.

Get ahead.

King Mu originally thought that Jie Cheng just happened to meet him, but after further investigation, he found out that Jie Cheng was also involved in this matter. There was an account book of Jie Cheng's bribery in the secret room of Xiao Fu Wang's courtyard. The plan was to leave Zhuo one day.

city ​​and return to Xirong.

But what frightened the hearts of King Mu and others was that there seemed to be another figure lurking looming behind these letters. This person's identity seemed to be higher than that of King Xiaofu and King Liang who were exposed.

The secret letter in King Xiaofu's villa was traced to three things in total. The first one was that Jie Cheng bribed someone in order to return to Xirong. Behind the scenes, there was a powerful official in the court giving guidance, but I don't know who it was.

Although there is no explicit statement, it must have been passed down orally, and we can only infer one or two things from clues.

Once Jie City returns to Xirong, it will probably be necessary to return to Mongolia with the worship of fire, and eliminate the Mutianlang, which is blocking the way for the powerful forces in the Western Regions to advance eastward.

Li Chengwen also had doubts in his heart. The interlocking situation in Changming Palace that day was designed by someone, and this person might be Li Luo.

However, after tracing, there was no trace of Mu Tianlang. Even if there was, it must have been hidden very deep.

Even if Li Chengwen had suspicions, he could not put them on the table without clear evidence.

Furthermore, this matter was aimed at the foundation of Dagan's country. Even if Mu Tianlang had some tricks in it, it would be beneficial to Dagan's country and the country, and others could only turn a blind eye and have nothing to say.

Moreover, the Mu Tianlang army in Xifu, which was plotted against the powerful men in Jicheng and Zhuocheng, cannot be controlled by Li Luo behind the scenes. There is no such thing as self-harm. As long as the matter in Jicheng is investigated, Mu Tianlang will have already

Stay out of the action and watch the tiger fight from a distance.

Jie Cheng is a man of perseverance. He realizes that he is now an abandoned son. He knows everything he has done and tells everything he has planned and done over the years. He uses all his strength to make the water in Zhuo City as muddy as possible.

.

He also told the truth about what happened when he left the city that day, with the intention of dragging Li Luo into the water.

It's a pity that Jie Cheng made the wrong calculation. How could Li Chengwen and Li Xuanci be easy-going people? Emperor Wanlong could guess the meaning of every move he made in the court. Among all the officials and ministers, only Li Luo was allowed to know about this matter in advance.

The purpose of not letting Li Luo get involved was obvious. While beating him, he just didn't want Li Luo to make any mistakes.

The soldiers guarding Jie City were also found. It is said that the death was so cruel that it was almost unbearable to look at it.

Several of them were from the Duwei camp, which angered Li Xuanci. If Jicheng hadn't been useful, he would have been severely punished.

Jie Cheng also has a hard time talking. He knows that he did not kill the person, but no one will believe him if he says it, which makes him even more annoying.

Speaking of which, Miss Gusu's methods were too ruthless. Killing several soldiers who had never been masked before was as if she had sworn hatred with these people. Even Leng Bing couldn't help but look at her with some suspicion after seeing her.

At this time, the massacre of Dagan's generals will probably make it difficult for Jie City to revive Li Zhuo City. Whether they can survive depends on whether the water is muddy enough this time.

As for the Zhongshu Province Shushi who passed the letter, there was indeed an official named Guo Qian, but on the day Jicheng received the order, this person had never left the Zhongshu Province, as witnessed by more than a dozen colleagues.

After Jie Cheng heard this, he was devastated. It turned out that what he saw that day was just someone pretending to be someone else, and this imperial edict became Jie Cheng's one-sided statement.

However, this imperial edict is indeed true. Who is responsible for it? The mystery behind it is intriguing.

The second is the fact that the government formed a party for personal gain and accepted bribes. Jicheng did not cover up the matter. The Dali Division and the Duwei captured hundreds of corrupt officials in just a few days, involving all departments and yamen. Even the Inspection Department had such bugs.

Coupled with the bits and pieces found in the secret message, when put together, it is not a small amount.

Li Chengwen and the others did not dare to have any different intentions at this time. If Emperor Wanlong knew about it, it would not be a mere scolding. Moreover, since there were so many eyes and ears, it would be difficult to cover it up. They would simply report all the details to Wanlong.

emperor.

Emperor Wanlong was furious, and with a stroke of his pen, a bright red word "kill" was passed down.

For a time, all the government offices in Zhuocheng were crying like ghosts and howling like wolves, and the number of people implicated was several times that of the Shangzheng government office.

This case was worth several years of work by the Inspection Department. There were not a few people killed, and there were hundreds of people who were removed from their official positions, assigned to the frontier, and sent to prison.

This important ceremony in troubled times allowed all departments in Zhuocheng to wipe out their previous decline, but inadvertently brought a bit of vitality to the yamen. This was something Li Luo did not expect.

There was not much money in the secret room of the other courtyard, and the stolen goods recovered were only a few tens of thousands of taels of silver, which was less than a fraction of Shangzheng Yamen's deficit.

However, the number recorded in these account books far exceeds this. As for whose family it flows into, I am afraid it will not be clear for a year and a half.

It is difficult to judge the extent of Prince Xiao Fu's involvement in the case. Li Chengwen was not in a position to say more, so he only reported it to Emperor Wanlong for a final decision. He vaguely mentioned that perhaps Prince Xiao Fu was being taken advantage of.

It’s unclear what Emperor Wanlong thought, but he probably wouldn’t embarrass Prince Xiaofu’s palace too much. After all, Emperor Wanlong and Prince Xiaofu were of the same mother, so they had to take the Queen Mother’s thoughts into consideration.

The last thing is the source of this shocking change. At present, only one Liang Wang has been exposed, but the life of Emperor Wanlong is the one he is plotting against.

The secret letter contained only a few details of the hunting trip in Guanshan that day. Although it was vague, it was enough.

It's just that it's too difficult to settle this case. The Prince of Liang was just a concubine prince. Although he had some power before the Shangzheng Yamen case, even if Emperor Wanlong was murdered, Emperor Dagan would not be able to turn to Prince Liang. There must be someone else behind it.

The three kings and shepherds were walking on thin ice, and one mistake would be in danger of death. Li Xuanci almost scolded the royal family internally and externally, but there was no other way. In desperation, he had to quietly go to Qiming Tower and ask Li Luo for advice.

Li Luo's deception only made Li Xuanci lose his temper, and he had no choice but to throw out the deceased Mingwu King Li Xuanxu.

Li Luo sighed secretly, knowing that even after the death of King Wu, there was no peace, but it could also be seen that King Mu and the other three really did not dare to investigate further.

Li Xuanci came here mostly to test Li Luo's tone. If Li Luo acquiesces and other places in the court take care of it, King Mu and King Ying will naturally try their best to suppress this matter, or send it to Emperor Wanlong again.
