Chapter 249 Tokyo's Innocence Has Really Collapsed
Chapter 249 Tokyo’s innocence has collapsed
As night falls, the current curfew system is useless.
In Tokyo, the streets and alleys are still brightly lit, the mansions of the rich and powerful, and the nightlife is full of music and dancing.
Quyuan Street.
Fengle Building was a new brothel built after the burning of Fan Building, and it has gradually become the number one brothel in Tokyo.
The fifth floors face each other, with flying bridge railings on each side, connecting light and dark, bead curtains embroidered on foreheads, and candles shining brightly.
In the evening, all the rich and powerful children, and even the scholars who came to Beijing to take the exam, as long as they had some money in their pockets, all took pleasure in spending money in the arty style of Fengle Tower.
Zeng Wei, the consort of the Jiade Emperor, and his younger brother Zeng Ren walked into Fengle Tower side by side. The old madam came to greet them and led two regular guests directly into the private room upstairs.
As a consort, although Zeng Wei did not dare to go to prostitutes in public, it was still okay for him to invite a few beauties to drink with him at a banquet with his friends.
Tonight is a treat for the eldest son of the Maoguo family. The Zeng brothers came earlier. Before they entered the private room, they heard someone at the next table whisper: "I heard that Zhou Xuan, the eldest son of the admonishing doctor Zhou Ji, was having sex with the palace concubine..."
"Hush! This is going to make you lose your head... is it true or not? Don't dare to talk nonsense!"
"Ahem, it's been spread all over the place a long time ago, why do you think it's a secret..."
"Then Zhou Ji's sister is the official concubine Li. Zhou Xuan, under the guise of visiting his aunt, hooked up with the concubines in the palace... I heard that the official family was suffering from the disease of incompetence, and the concubines were all hungry and thirsty to see her.
Is a handsome guy like Zhou Xuan still a firewood?"
"Quack...that's that."
"I also heard that there was more than one palace concubine who hooked up with Zhou Xuan. Those little ladies in the palace often gave gifts to Zhou Xuan. That Zhou Xuan came to Fengle Tower and lost money in gambling, no?
Just press a piece of jade pendant from the palace?"
Zeng Wei's expression suddenly changed.
He calmed down for a moment, then suddenly grabbed his brother Zeng Ren's hand, turned around and went downstairs. Zeng Ren frowned and asked, without saying a word, he dragged Zeng Ren out of Fengle upstairs and onto the Zeng family's carriage, going the same way.
return.
at the same time.
In the Zhouqiao Night Market, the Daxiangguo Temple, the Majing Street Night Market, in alleys, alleys, and on the streets, there were rumors everywhere that Zhou Xuan, the legitimate son of Zhou Ji, had an affair with a palace concubine and became the wife of many palace concubines.
The handsome brother of a noble family, the palace concubine, the affair, the appearance...all the elements come together, and it is difficult not to arouse the gossips of Tokyo people.
In fact, there were a lot of gossips that came to light this night.
For example, the son of Jiao He, the governor of Kaifeng, had an affair with Jiao He's concubine Lanxiang; the left Si Jian Peng Jun's wife Meng had an affair with the family's teacher; the right Zheng said that Dong Dayi's family killed people and stole goods; in order to seize other people's wealth, they massacred the whole family, and supervised
Lin Yun, the censor, fostered dozens of prostitutes, one of whom turned out to be Zhao Nipeng, the lost grandson of the Wang family in E County.
etc.
Tokyoites were in an uproar and almost stayed up all night. Just these earth-shattering rumors were enough to keep them and their families talking all night.
It's not just that.
It was also on this night that Dali Temple, the Zongren Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion, the Ministry of Punishment, and even the houses of cabinet ministers Li Gang and Wu Min all received similar evidence of the above rumors.
Zhou Xuan’s confession of pressing the fingerprints and drawings.
The keepsakes of the three concubines in the palace, as well as a large number of jewelry from the palace.
A letter from Meng, Peng Jun’s wife, who had an affair with the family’s teacher.
Confession of Jiao Hezi's affair with Jiao He's concubine Lanxiang.
The key point is that Zhao Nipeng, the lost grandson of the Wang family in E County, suddenly appeared in the bedroom of Dali Temple Qing Deng Jishan.
…
The sky in Tokyo has really fallen.
There was a lot of curses in the public, and all kinds of rumors spread like sparks starting a prairie fire.
Deng Jishan, the Minister of Dali Temple, did not dare to neglect. He immediately hurried into the palace with relevant evidence that appeared on his desk at an unknown time, and took with him Zhao Nipeng, the lost grandson of the Wang family in E County.
Although today was not the time for the court meeting, when Deng Jishan entered the palace and arrived in front of Yanfu Palace, he found that many courtiers were waiting for the summons.
Li Gang, Wu Min, Yushitai Yushi Zhongcheng Guo Zhishun, Yousi Jian Zhang Dong, and a group of Yushitai officials and admonishers led by them.
Guo Zhishun and Zhang Dong both looked ugly.
Rumors spread all over the night last night. No one from Zhou Ji Jiao He and other families slipped through the net, and a huge scandal broke out. Especially Zhou Ji's son Zhou Xuan had an affair with the palace. This had completely ruined the reputation of the Song Dynasty's court admonishment and admonishment system.
The criticism in the public is getting louder and louder. Even the maids in Guo Zhishun's house are secretly sighing behind their backs. If this famous official of the Song Dynasty is like this, aren't all the other officials rotten?
A son who steals his father's concubines is immoral and treasonous.
A wife cheats on her husband by cheating on her, which makes her stinky.
It's okay to support prostitutes, but to abduct a legitimate grandson of the clan, how is this any different from treason?
Needless to say, killing people, stealing goods, and destroying people and entire families.
But none of these are as earth-shattering as the Zhou family's filthy harem.
The white-haired King Ejun came in a hurry on a horse. When he saw his grandson Zhao Nipeng, who had been missing for two years, he couldn't help but cry and curse.
Li Gang and Wu Min looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
There is a lot of filth hidden in the homes of powerful and powerful families. These things are certainly not false, but who can have the ability to uncover them overnight, collect all the evidence, and even get the confessions of the people involved in the case? This person
Who is it that has so much energy...
Both of them were a little creepy.
If this person uses this kind of power... Li Gang's head trembled, and his eyes shone brightly.
Li Gang looked at Wu Min, and Wu Min also looked over. At this moment, the same face appeared in their minds, but they remained silent and did not dare to speak easily.
The Prince of Ejun held his little grandson and howled at the gate of the palace for a long time, which made Li Gang and Wu Min's heads hurt.
In fact, this is not a big deal. What really makes them difficult is the matter of the Zhou family.
The evidence of the filthy harem was conclusive, and there was more than one person involved. They could guess Zhao Ji's reaction without even thinking.
Jiade Emperor Zhao Yupan and her consort Zeng Wei also entered the palace at this time.
However, the two of them were walking in tandem, one riding the horse and the other chasing behind until he was out of breath, while Zhao Yupan, who was sitting on the horse, looked livid.
Zhao Yupan walked into Xiaoyue Garden.
Zhao Fujin was a little surprised to see Zhao Yupan looking so embarrassed, and he was even more surprised when he saw Zeng Wei following him in embarrassment.
Zhao Yupan said: "Sister, something big has happened, and the sky in Tokyo is going to fall."
Zhao Fujin's pretty face changed, and he immediately asked: "What's the matter? Could it be him..."
Zhao Yupan shook his head: "It has nothing to do with him. However, overnight, many things happened in Beijing..."
Zhao Yupan briefly explained the conclusive evidence of the Zhou family's adultery and the scandals of various families.
As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. Zhao Fujin's heart trembled: all those who framed and falsely accused her had their scandals exposed, and no one escaped the net.
"This is quite strange. So many things happened at once? However, these bastards are full of male thieves and female prostitutes, so it is not surprising that something happened." Zhao Fujin considered.
Zhao Yupan sighed, turned around and glared at Zeng Wei bitterly: "Please sister, please save your brother-in-law!"
Zhao Fujin was stunned: "Sister, how do you say this?"
Zhao Yupan gritted her teeth secretly: "It is said that Zhou Xuan, the auspicious son of Zhou, had affairs with many of his father's concubines and took away a lot of palace property, and that guy also liked prostitutes and was almost a regular visitor to Fengle Tower. He lost the bet.
If you don't have money, the prostitute will come from the palace as a mortgage
The treasure... When this matter reaches the ears of my father, he will definitely be furious, and he will definitely investigate this matter to the bottom. And this bastard often goes in and out of Fengle Building behind my back. Once his father knows,
He... his position as Prince Consort cannot be kept."
Zeng Wei's face turned red, and he lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
Zhao Fujin frowned lightly and scolded: "Zeng Wei, how dare you do this?"
Zeng Wei said in a trembling voice: "Maode, I did not hook up with prostitutes, I just joined in the fun. I am willing to swear to God that I have never had anything with those prostitutes in the flower room..."
Bah!
Zhao Fujin sarcastically said: "Zeng Wei, if you don't have sex with prostitutes, why would you go to a brothel?"
"I just had a banquet with everyone, and really didn't do anything..." Zeng Wei almost cried.
He really didn't dare to do anything serious, that is, he just got addicted and touched a few times.
Zhao Fujin snorted coldly and turned his back.
Zhao Yupan sighed faintly: "Sister, I married such a thing, what do you think I should do? However, he is a coward, and I don't dare to have sex with a prostitute if I am afraid of him."
Zhao Fujin grabbed Zhao Yupan's hand and said, "Sister, if you can bear it, forget it... It's just that my father knows about it and I'm afraid he will be destroyed."
"So please sister, please save him."
Zhao Fujin: "Sister, how can I save him? Why don't you go and ask Father for mercy."
"Father is furious. The only one who can speak at this moment is King Bohai. Sister, you...write a letter and I will go find him!"
…
Zhao Ji almost fainted from anger.
He simply didn't care about other people's scandals and criminal facts.
Only Zhou Ji, this daring son, actually messed up the harem and had sex with several of his women. At the same time, there were rumors that his failure to do anything would lead to the harem becoming deserted... Zhao Ji was trembling all over, with a fire of ignorance burning in his chest.
Zhao Ji has never been so angry since he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
Zhao Ji's eyes were like daggers, and he stared at Danqi's ministers closely, and said word by word: "What do you think we should do?"
All the ministers bowed their heads and remained silent.
When it comes to harem scandals, who dares to touch the emperor's sensitive nerves?
The king of Ejun suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground, crying out incessantly, asking Zhao Ji to avenge his family and his grandson.
Zhao Ji stared at Prince E with some irritation, but considering his age and seniority, he finally forced a smile and said: "Uncle, please rest assured, I will investigate this matter to the end!"
Zhao Ji looked at Li Gang again and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Li, I order you to supervise the management of Dali Temple and quickly investigate all these scandalous things for me. Once the people involved are verified, they will be executed!"
It is said that officials should not be killed. At this point, if anyone dares to say no, Zhao Ji will definitely fight with him!
Li Gang and Dali Temple Minister Deng Jishan bowed and said: "I obey the order!"
Zhao Ji was talking about the bastard things that Jiao He and others did about killing people and stealing goods, and the son stealing his father's concubine. As for the Zhou family's case...
He looked around the ministers with gloomy eyes and saw that no one dared to take on him. In fact, he was also worried that the matter would be left to outsiders to investigate. If more shameful things were discovered, his emperor would really
It will be infamy for thousands of years.
Zhao Ji clenched his hands tightly and said slowly: "Quickly tell Wang Lin, Prince of Bohai County, to come to the palace to see you!"
