Chapter 148 The Upright King Fuguang
"I don't know. I told my guards that I would teach him to look like a man, but they haven't sent him back yet."

Cheng Shangshu, "..."

Sure enough, it is you, my lord!
Huo Yanzhi had already walked to Lian Xiqing's cell at this time, without any scruples about Cheng Shangshu, he stood up and said, "Cousin Lian, don't worry, I won't let your son grow up to be a beast like his father."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve, and tore off the money bag at his waist, "The jailers here should be able to buy it too. You take this. If you need anything, let them buy it for you."

Cheng Shangshu, "..."

He is still standing here!
The lord actually gave and accepted the prisoner in private so confidently, and even framed his people in the criminal department for accepting bribes!
Should he be said to be aboveboard, or a little stunned?
"I've already asked the emperor for you once, but he didn't agree, and he will agree next time."

Huo Yanzhi said firmly, "Take it, Ah Yu hopes you will live well."

Lian Xiqing choked up uncontrollably, and walked softly to the iron fence to take the bank note and money bag in his hand, and murmured "My Lord", tears streaming down his face unconsciously.

Huo Yanzhi nodded to her, raised his foot and continued to walk forward.

Jiufangfeng winked at Lianxiqing, "Miss Lian, don't cry, our prince will feel sorry for you."

Even if the girl is crying like this, the second girl will definitely feel distressed, and if she feels distressed, the prince will definitely feel distressed.

Therefore, he is not lying.

As he spoke, he smiled at Lian Xiqing again, and stuffed the Nine Rings in his sleeve into her hand, "Girl hold it to relieve boredom.

Jiu Fang didn't know that Lord Shang Shu would bring us here today, otherwise he would definitely bring a box of gadgets for the girl, so that the girl would not be bored even if she stayed in the nobleman's house for ten years."

Lian Xiqing was amused by him and laughed. After staying in prison for so long, she recovered her complexion and returned to her former beauty.

Such a smile with tears in his eyes is like a begonia wet with rain, rich and unparalleled.

Jiu Fangfeng blinked, pretending to be exaggerated and said with a smile, "Young girl looks so pretty when she smiles, you should smile more in the future!"

Lian Xiqing suddenly suppressed her smile, lowered her head, "Military division, go get busy, don't make fun of me."

Jiu Fangfeng didn't know where she said something wrong, but she knew that she definitely said something wrong, she leaned over with her fan upside down, and quickly caught up with Huo Yanzhi and Cheng Shangshu.

The few people saw Yang Xian and his two nephews within a short distance.

As soon as Yang Xian's son saw Huo Yanzhi, he rushed to the iron fence and shouted loudly, "My lord! You believe me! My father didn't bribe dead soldiers to intercept you! He doesn't have the guts!"

"I believe you".

Huo Yanzhi's tone was crisp, and his eyes fell on Yang Xian who was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed.

Yang Xian's son didn't expect him to say that he believed him so straightforwardly. After a moment of surprise, he shouted in surprise, "Then, can you help my father to intercede with the emperor, saying that my father is definitely the mastermind behind killing you?" make!"

"it is good".

Huo Yan's words were concise and concise, Yang Xian slowly opened his eyes, stopped his son who was still talking, and asked in a hoarse voice, "My lord really believes that the mastermind behind the scenes is not Yang, and he still wants to plead for Yang?"

Huo Yanzhi frowned, "Do you think this king is lying to you?"

Jiu Fangfeng followed immediately, "Admiral Yang, you have been imprisoned in this noble place, do you think our prince still needs to lie to you with such a thing?"

Yang Xian laughed miserably, "What the military division of Jiufang said is that Yang has fallen to this point, so what is there for the prince to lie to?"

Jiu Fangfeng sighed, "Admiral Yang, let me tell you, even if you weren't the envoy who intercepted the prince, it's not too unfair for you to be reduced to today.

A hundred dead soldiers, armed with the most sophisticated crossbows from the Ministry of Industry, just fell from the sky and appeared on Fuhu Mountain under your rule, admiral. This is no ordinary dereliction of duty! "

Yang Xian was speechless.

He knew that it was not an ordinary dereliction of duty, so Huo Yanzhi led people to attack the Suzaku camp, and he didn't dare to fight back at all due to his wrongdoing.

This is what Yang Xian's son couldn't figure out the most. Hearing what Jiu Fangfeng said, he shouted loudly, "Father! I don't believe that a hundred dead men appeared in Fuhu Mountain, and you didn't even notice it!
You must have reasons!

Now that the prince is here, he is still willing to trust us, so hurry up and tell the truth!Do you really want to kill our whole family! "

Yang Xian closed his eyes again, as if he couldn't hear his son's cry at all, and said in a slumped manner, "My lord, Yang is a hero to King Wang, and he would never dare to harm him.

If the Ministry of Punishment cannot restore Yang's innocence, the prince will not have to intercede for Yang."

"This king knows, and will explain it to the emperor for you."

"father!"

"uncle!"

Yang Xian's son and nephew saw that Huo Yanzhi turned to leave, and shouted anxiously, "My lord is here, if you have anything to say, hurry up and say it! Hurry up!"

They still refused to believe that their father and uncle, whom they had always respected, would do such a rebellious thing that endangered their family!
Yang Xian's straight back seemed to be unbearable to the terrified and angry shouts of his nephew, and he collapsed slightly, calling Huo Yanzhi with a trembling voice, "My lord, if possible, can I ask my lord to help Yang protect his family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his collapsed back was completely bent. Even if he didn't look in the mirror, he knew that his appearance at this time was ugly, humble, weak, and greedy.

He was praying for a hero who almost fell because of him to help his accomplice protect his family!

He is using the hero's sense of justice and conscience!
Jiu Fangfeng sneered, "Admiral Yang really dared to speak—"

Huo Yanzhi interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "I will do my best."

After Huo Yanzhi finished speaking, he didn't stop, turned around and walked out.

But Jiu Fangfeng stayed, and said ironically, "Admiral Yang is sure to make our prince soft-hearted?
However, no use!
Admiral Yang must have heard that the prince begged the emperor to let a boudoir go by shooting Qi Gufeng, but the emperor refused.

How much face does the admiral think the prince has in front of the emperor?Can the emperor spare the family of the admiral? "

As he said, his gaze shifted to Yang Xian's two nephews, "especially the good sons of the Yang family who can inherit the mantle of Admiral Yang. If Mr. Yang really wants to protect his family, he should save himself."

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and caught up with Huo Yanzhi.

The three of them left the cell of the nobleman in silence, and stepped into the corridor leading to the outside room.

In the silence, Cheng Shangshu suddenly asked, "My lord really believes that Admiral Yang is not behind the scenes?"

Huo Yanzhi stopped and turned to look at him, "Do you think this king will intercede for a person who wants to kill him?"

Cheng Shangshu saw that Huo Yanzhi had just written "Do you think this king is a fool" on his face, and unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth.

That's right, this prince is notoriously stunned. Others may pretend to be hypocritical and plead for the enemy, but he will never.

"Then who does the prince think is the murderer?"

Huo Yanzhi stared at him expressionlessly, "Cheng Shangshu, this king told you, do you dare to listen?"

Cheng Shangshu, "..."

He dare not!
Cheng Shangshu almost wanted to kneel down for him, King Fuguang is indeed King Fuguang!

He is always so bright and aboveboard that people can't wait to kneel down and beg him to have a heart!

How can he take this?
How can he pick it up!

Fortunately, although Huo Yanzhi is upright and magnanimous, he doesn't like to persecute others. Seeing that Cheng Shangshu looks like he wants to kneel down to him but dare not answer, he lifts his feet and continues to walk out.

Jiu Fangfeng smiled inexplicably, brushed past him, and caught up with Huo Yanzhi.

Cheng Shangshu, "..."

Sure enough, he is already old, so let's retire early...

……

……

In the early morning of the next day, Huo Yanzhi, who seldom showed up, appeared, and told Zheng Hedi very directly that Yang Xian was not behind the scenes.

Zheng Hedi smiled tolerantly, "The Ministry of Criminal Justice is still good at investigating cases, so don't let the emperor intervene."

Huo Yanzhi said, "The minister is not interfering, but just expressing his own thoughts.

Admiral Yang is not the murderer, the minister is the victim, who is the murderer and who is not, there are always numbers."

When Huo Yanzhi said this, he looked directly at Zheng Hedi without any shyness, he was not aggressive, let alone showing his murderous intent, his eyes were indifferent and calm, but Zheng Hedi's back was inexplicably cold, and the hairs all over his body stood on end!

Huo Yanzhi upheld his usual uprightness, telling him plainly that he knew that he wanted to kill him, and also knew that he couldn't kill him, let him wait for the day when he would kill him instead!
Huo Yanzhi just looked at him indifferently and quietly, inexplicably reminding him of the late emperor, the old man who made him dare not even think of resisting back then, and who now has lingering fears when he thinks about it.

This was the first time he felt the resemblance between Huo Yanzhi and the late emperor.

Thinking of the old man whose shadow has shrouded him so far, Zheng Hedi's heart boiled with murderous intent.

He must kill Huo Yanzhi, he must kill him!

Killing intent rolled in Emperor Zhenghe's heart, but he moved his eyes unconsciously, moved his back covered in cold sweat, and dared not meet the eyes that resembled the late emperor again.

He also didn't dare to look at the eyes and expressions of the civil and military officials, didn't dare to see how much they overheard, and didn't believe that the upright and upright person made everyone jealous and ashamed, but he couldn't help trusting, Even the trusted King Fuguang asked with a stiff face, "What does Cheng Aiqing think?"

Not only Cheng Shangshu's expression, but even his tongue is wooden, "Your Majesty forgive me, but Admiral Yang refuses to plead guilty.

For the specific situation, I and my colleagues from the Ministry of Punishment are still investigating, please allow some time for the emperor."

"Then Ai Qing has to hurry up. One day if the mastermind behind the scenes cannot be found, the emperor uncle will still be in danger. I am really worried!"

As soon as Emperor Zhenghe said this, all the ministers praised in unison, "The emperor is benevolent and filial!"

Behind the bead curtain, Zhenghe Di's gentle and elegant face became hideous uncontrollably, benevolence and filial piety!
What nonsense!
Although Huo Yanzhi has taken advantage of his seniority, he is younger than his son, why should he be filial to him?
Just because of the word "benevolence and filial piety" buzzing in his ears every day, he must kill Huo Yanzhi!

Cheng Shangshu glanced at Huo Yanzhi calmly, Huo Yanzhi's face was sullen and always expressionless, but Cheng Shangshu understood his expression strangely.

He told the truth, to Yang Xian, he had tried his best, and Zheng Hedi insisted on killing his humerus beloved general, it had nothing to do with Huo Yanzhi, he had a clear conscience...

Have a clear conscience!
Throughout the early court, Cheng Shangshu was tormented by these four words, looked back at the opportunity, grabbed the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and whispered, "Admiral Yang's case, I looked left and right and felt something was wrong.

He can't make sense!

Even if Admiral Yang wanted to intercept and kill King Fuguang, how dare he blatantly use the crossbow of the Ministry of Industry?It's not like he's lost his mind! "

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said vaguely, "This is a matter for your Ministry of Punishment. I only know that the batch of crossbows was sent to the Suzaku camp."

Cheng Shangshu looked at his expression, only disbelief, "There is definitely something inside this matter, we have been friends for many years, don't make me decide the wrong case!

Admiral Yang is our colleague!Definitely a good general!

I really want to misjudgment the case, it will damage the morality, even if I die, there will be no peace! "

Gongbu Shangshu's cheeks twitched uncontrollably, his eyes fluttered around, he didn't dare to look at Cheng Shangshu at all, he cupped his hands in a panic, "I'm sorry, I really don't know, you can check again , check".

After speaking, he didn't dare to see Cheng Shangshu's reaction, so he left in a hurry.

Cheng Shangshu watched his fleeing back, feeling sad.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry is the most down-to-earth and cautious among the members of their cabinet, and also the most honest.

It seems that he, like Yang Xian, knows the inside story clearly, but one dare not speak out, and the other dare not argue, just like him, he, dare not break up...

……

……

After Cheng Shangshu left Shangshutai, he ordered to go to Fuhu Mountain.

He had already sent young officials to investigate, and now that the case was stuck, it was only natural that he, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, would go there in person.

He was getting old, and his subordinates did not dare to ignore him. When they reached the foot of Fuhu Mountain, they replaced him with a donkey that was used to walking the mountain roads.

But even so, he accidentally fell off the donkey's back and broke his left leg.

Since Huo Yanzhi pleaded for Yang Xian in the early court, the rumors in the capital have easily changed direction.

The thinking of ordinary people is very simple. How could a hero like King Fuguang lie?
Moreover, King Fuguang is the master of suffering. Even if he doesn't know who is behind the scenes, at least he should know who is not.

He said that Admiral Yang is not the murderer, then Admiral Yang is definitely not!

King Fuguang is not stupid, how could he intercede for the murderer?

When new rumors spread in the streets and alleys, the news of Cheng Shangshu's broken leg spread, and everyone rushed to tell each other as if they had some important evidence.

King Fuguang was right!

Admiral Yang is not a murderer!
The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment said that Admiral Yang was the murderer, so he was punished, right?

……

……

Cheng Xiuyuan has no intention of studying at all recently, he walks the streets with a group of dudes every day, or stays in Xinghua Village listening to the latest storytelling.

When the news spread, he was listening to books and drinking with Meng Jiang and Hua Pingle in the lobby of Xinghua Village.

After the news of Huo Yanzhi shooting Qi Gufeng came out, Xinghua Village and Qingfeng Teahouse were full every day.

After learning the lesson of not being able to squeeze in the door on the first day, Hua Pingle ordered to reserve a seat in the lobby and private room for these young masters and girls to watch the fun.

Both Cheng Xiuyuan and Meng Jiang prefer the lobby, and they are also sitting in the lobby today.

Then, Cheng Xiuyuan heard several big men leading the table talking loudly about his grandfather's slander of Admiral Yang and his retribution.

He was furious immediately, and was about to scold, Meng Jiang had already swung the whip!

The already lively lobby suddenly became chaotic, screaming and berating.

Those big men belonged to Zhuqueying, because Yang Xian was suspected of intercepting and killing Huo Yan, he was scolded everywhere he went, and he wanted to stuff his head in his crotch.

It's hard to feel elated, because I found out that Cheng Xiuyuan is here, and he's here to pick things up, why would he be afraid?
Immediately, he jumped up against the case and shouted, "It's a man's, go out and practice! Don't let the world do those things that hurt people in the back!"

But he was insinuating that Cheng Shangshu used disgraceful means to frame their admirals.

Meng Jiang wanted to find trouble even if he had nothing to do, how could he stand up to such provocations, his voice was louder than theirs, "Go out and get out! Whoever coaxes is a bastard!"

Well, when there is wine, he has never been timid when fighting!

The two groups of people squeezed out of Xinghua Village and found an open place.

The big man in the lead pointed to Cheng Xiuyuan and said, "I know you, you are the grandson of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment!

You come out, we fight!Don't be like your grandpa, who only knows how to play tricks and hurt people! "

Cheng Xiuyuan was so angry that his hands and feet were so weak that he couldn't speak a single word.

Meng Jiang sneered, "You know how to pick someone, pick a scholar to fight with you! You are so good at fighting, why don't you fight King Fuguang!"

The big man narrowed his eyes, "Young master, this matter has nothing to do with you, you better not meddle in your own business!"

Meng Jiang pointed out his thin chest, "Xiu Yuan is my brother, his business is my business! If you are a man, don't talk nonsense, let's fight!"
