White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 165 Broken Legs

Wen Ning's face felt hot, and she threw the note aside as if it was scalding.

asshole!You have made yourself to Dali Temple, and you still have the time to tease her?
Sure enough, her worries were all in vain. It's not bad if he doesn't cheat others. Who can cheat him? !

Thinking so, Wen Ning picked up the piece of paper and looked at it again.

The handwriting is the same as his usual, neither hasty nor impatient, which shows that it was not written in a hurry; the paper is clean and tidy, and there is no dirt, which shows that the writing environment is acceptable; although the ink is completely dry, it is still fresh, which shows that it was written tonight. wrong.

If news from Sixteen can still come out, then his situation should not be as bad as she thought.

Wen Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and raised her hand to tear off the paper, but she was a little bit reluctant when she went down with both hands.

It's hard to get the news out.

She smoothed the paper, looked at it twice, and finally blushed.

Wanting to put it under the pillow, but worried that such Meng Lang's words would be seen by others, he simply got up from the bed and put it in the bottom drawer of the dowry.

With Pei You's words, Wen Ning felt more at ease, but her plan was disrupted after all, she didn't have the mind to do any more big work, and Wen's residence was not as peaceful as it used to be.

At the court hall on the second day, a minister said that Wen Lan was originally the head of the Dali Temple, and he went to Lingnan in person, and knew a lot about the epidemic, and suggested that he should have full authority to investigate the matter.

Emperor Jiahe nodded happily.

In the case of Pei You's "cheating" of using military rations, General Jiahe Emperor Xuan Hussars, the grain escort officer of the Southern Expedition Army, and the commander in charge of transporting grain at that time went to Beijing for trial.

Isn't the great general of hussars Shen Jin?

When Wen Ning heard the news, she felt a little...subtle.

In this life, Pei You and Shen Jin actually had a confrontation.

According to her understanding of Pei You, it is absolutely impossible for him to have a relationship with Shen Jin, so it can be seen that he cheated on food...it may be true.

And Shen Jin is a loyal and upright person. He will tell the truth when Emperor Jiahe sends him back. He will not deliberately suppress him because of the prison between him and Pei You, nor will he treat him because she is now Pei You's wife. cover up.

Shen Gaolan had also joined King Rui's camp before, and wondered if he would use Shen Jin to help King Rui do something in it.

But Pei You is so sure that nothing will happen to her...

Hey.

Knowing that he is the one who strategizes the most and has no plans left, I still can't help but worry about him.

As for Wen Lan, after taking such a big case, it suddenly became very popular.From time to time, people came to visit the Wen residence, and Wen Ning deliberately noticed that there were people from King Rui and the Fourth Prince.

Who is the mastermind of the Southwest Epidemic, it was completely unclear for a while.

Wen Ning thought about it for a few days, and decided not to bother others, if the large piece couldn't be embroidered, then she embroidered a belt for Pei You, and when he came out to give it to him, he would be happy.

The two cases have caused such great turmoil in the court, and naturally they have attracted much attention among the people.

Some people were filled with righteous indignation, accusing the people behind the manipulation of the epidemic as devoid of conscience, a crime comparable to "stealing the country"; some voices questioned, how could the epidemic be manipulated by humans?What is the purpose?Just to earn those taels of black-hearted money?

The case of "cheating" military rations has caused various debates among the people, and some scholars in schools have even discussed it. Is it right or wrong to "cheat military rations" for the people in extraordinary times?
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and the court had not moved yet, and the people were already buzzing.

In the wing room of Yunting Building, once the doors and windows were closed, the voices of those arguments were isolated from the outside.

Wen Qi sat down and asked: "How is it? Is there a conclusion yet? I thought you were [-]% or [-]% sure that you would expose the matter above the court. Now that it has been delayed for so long, if you don't give an explanation, the people will complain." Boiling, I am afraid you will not be able to deal with business."

Wen Lan didn't take off his official uniform, and there were too many people who went to Wen Mansion to inquire about the truth recently, so he directly made an appointment with Wen Qi at Yuntinglou.

"Of course the mastermind behind the scenes is sure, and I have obtained the evidence two days ago, so there will be no mistakes." Wen Lan said warmly.

Wen Qi raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

Wen Lan silently mouthed: "King Rui."

Wen Qi sneered without any surprise.It was indeed right for him not to enter the officialdom. There is no clear master in the upper echelon, so why waste his enthusiasm to help the evildoers?
"Can you find out why?" Wen Qi whispered.

Wen Lan sighed, and lowered her voice: "The Wutong Lane incident hit him hard, and the Fourth Prince attacked him again and again, leaving him almost powerless to fight back. This idea came to him when he was grounded. He concluded that the epidemic When the outbreak broke out, no one in the court dared to respond. At that time, he volunteered to go to the epidemic area, and won the hearts of the people and the king. Unexpectedly, this matter was cut off by the prince, and he tried his best to transport food. Let the son die in Wuxi and never come back."

"You simply don't treat ordinary people as human beings!" Wen Qi gritted his teeth, "Since it's so clear, why don't you procrastinate to report it?"

Wen Lan sighed again: "It's true that he deliberately introduced the epidemic into Lingnan, but he wasn't the one who hyped 'Congshu' back then."

"That is……"

Without waiting for Wen Qi to say it, Wen Lan nodded.

Besides that fourth prince, who else?He didn't have a strong mother clan as his backing, and he wasn't favored when he was young. Emperor Jiahe didn't give him much rewards, so he probably felt that everything he did was going to cost money, so he turned the idea of ​​earning money on the epidemic.

Why not take advantage of the situation to make a fortune in national calamity?
"Although there are various indications that it is undoubtedly the fourth prince, he is much more cautious than King Rui. After searching these days, no evidence can be found." Wen Lan raised his forehead, "You know that once this case is reported, it will be closed once it is closed. Well, even if evidence is found in the future, it will be difficult to find out and convict the fourth prince. Therefore, it has been delayed until now, and I always want to catch them all."

Wen Qi lowered his eyes and pondered: "What do you think, my son?"

"Your Majesty, let me make my own decision." Wen Lan still sighed, "But... it's always, I'm not reconciled."

Knowing that if it wasn't for Chu Heng's secret speculation about "congshu", the people would have no medicine, and the Lingnan epidemic would not have reached such a situation.

He saw the suffering of Wuxi at that time with his own eyes, and saw so many people lose their lives because of it, how could he be willing to let the culprit go so easily?

"Brother, in three to five days, it's time for Shen Jin to return to Beijing." Wen Qi looked at Wen Lan and said.

When Shen Jin returned to Beijing, he was going to try the military ration case.

Although they all believed that it was impossible to "cheat food" at the beginning, otherwise, how could Shen Jin not have noticed such a big move of sending food?
But in any case, the misappropriation of military rations is true.

According to the laws of Dayin, moving is a felony.

King Rui hates Pei You, if he is not pulled down before then, then his fans will insist on this matter and stir up public opinion, things will be much more difficult.

Wen Lan couldn't make up her mind, so she called Wen Qi to discuss it. Seeing what he said, she nodded with difficulty.

Greed is not enough to swallow elephants. The two princes have been in business for many years. This time, it is not easy to catch one of them and make him unable to turn around.

On the afternoon when King Rui was captured, he was teasing Lin'er, who was less than one year old, in the yard. While smiling and talking to him, he was happily thinking that Shen Jin would arrive in two or three days. It's Beijing.

When he got the news and knew that Pei You was interested in military rations, he immediately thought of Shen Gaolan.

The hussar general stationed in Lingnan is the second son of the Shen family!

They only need to do one round.

When Pei You applied for food transfer to the Southern Expeditionary Army, he pretended to agree, but he denied it when he turned around, saying that he had passed on a false military order. The document with the fake military seal can put all the blame on Pei You.

Falsely passing on military orders, forging military seals, defrauding military rations, and punishing him for several crimes, can he still be safe and sound? !

When Shen Jin returns to the capital, all he needs to do is to cling to the fact that he doesn't know anything about this matter, and he has never seen the food adjustment document, so Pei You can't argue with it, and he has no power to turn around!
Just thinking about it, King Rui felt comfortable all over, wishing he could ride a horse to bring Shen Jin to Beijing quickly.

It was at this time that a large number of officers and soldiers poured into Prince Rui's mansion, and Wen Lan, the leader, shouted loudly: "Dali Temple handles the case, idlers are waiting, don't act rashly!"

Little Sizheng, dare to come to Prince Rui's mansion to play wild? !

But when he was escorted to Dali Temple and saw that the presiding judge was Emperor Jiahe, he couldn't make any sound.

And the Dali Temple, which he despised, listed all the evidence that he introduced the epidemic from northern Xinjiang.

The testimonial blood testimonial before the middleman was killed, another symptomatic prescription found in his study, and even the corresponding medicinal materials he hoarded in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Father, my son doesn't have it! How dare my father, my son!" King Rui went from denying it at the beginning to crying for mercy, "Father, my son just wants to have a chance to make meritorious deeds! My son just wants you to see I see, Erchen can step forward when Dayin is in trouble! I just want you to see me! I didn’t expect things to be so serious! After the epidemic spread, the little medicine that Erchen hoarded is no longer enough Look, that's why it hasn't been handed over to the imperial court!"

Emperor Jiahe laughed back in anger: "You didn't expect things to become so serious? Who tampered with the court's food? I'm not old enough to be blind!"

A kick hit King Rui's chest, causing him to fall to the ground in embarrassment.

When he was finally taken down, King Rui didn't beg for mercy, but laughed maniacally.

"Father, it's just because I'm not the son of the queen! Father, since you love your queen so much, why did you give birth to us? Did you give birth to us and watch us kill each other, Father? Father, you will have retribution ! Both you and your queen will have retribution hahahaha!"

In the interrogation hall, laughter was endless, and everyone present quietly looked into the emperor's Yinhong eyes, and bowed their heads silently.

The southwest epidemic was actually planned by His Royal Highness King Rui. As soon as the news came out, the common people were in an uproar.

How many lives are that!It was a catastrophe that almost spread across the country!Are the emperor and nobles so disregarding the lives of the common people?
The capital was full of condemnation, demanding that the court severely punish King Rui and his henchmen.The imperial court also reacted quickly, and immediately ordered Mr. Zhengwen of Dali Temple to continue the investigation.

A few days ago, Wen Ning was guessing that it was Chu Heng, but unexpectedly it was King Rui again.

He really... ruined his good hand.

After being surprised, he was a little happy. For such a serious crime, King Rui would have to die half of his life if he didn't die. It was absolutely impossible to regain his strength.So... the Xuanping Rebellion that she has been worrying about all along, is it gone? !
That night, Wen Ning took the wine and went to Wen Lan's yard: "Big brother is still amazing! Respect big brother!"

Wen Lan didn't dare to drink that glass of wine: "It's not that the eldest brother is great, but the good husband that I, Ah Ning, is looking for is great."

Wen Ning turned his head, Pei Youren is still squatting in Dali Temple, what does it have to do with him?
"All of these were arranged by your husband before he entered Dali Temple." Wen Lan didn't take any credit, "I just followed the clues he gave to find evidence, and I don't even know who gave me the clues."

Wen Ning stared wide-eyed, then nodded again: "Well, my Master Pei is quite powerful."

Wen Lan: "..."

Want to drive away.

"How do you plan on the military ration matter?" Because Wen Lan had dealt with the epidemic before, she couldn't ask directly. The military ration case is not his official business, so it shouldn't hurt to say a few more words to her?

I don't want Wen Lan to sigh: "I don't know."

He only knew that Pei You had personally been to the Southern Expedition army camp at that time, and the batch of food was indeed sent by the Southern Expedition army in person. Everyone thought that he had obtained the permission of Emperor Jiahe to use the army rations. Is there such a thing?
"I'm afraid there is still a tough battle to fight." Wen Lan looked up and took a sip of wine.

King Rui's henchmen dare not move anymore, what about the fourth prince?This person can even make money out of the country, so it's hard to guarantee his attitude towards Pei You.

Even Wen Lan didn't know about it.

When he was in Wuxi, Wen Lan was the person Pei You trusted the most, and even Wen Lan didn't know about it, so Pei You... Actually, there is no countermeasure, right? !
Wen Ning was a little uneasy again.

After returning to the room, he yelled "Sixteen, Eleven, Tubai" over and over again, but there were no hidden guards around him.

Until the day when Shen Jin entered Beijing, she couldn't sit still.

How about... go to Shen Jin and ask?Let's see what happened to the original batch of military rations.

In case... In case Pei Youzhen used some abnormal means to obtain the batch of military rations, she could still...

Wen Ning thought brazenly, it was really impossible, she could rely on the remaining sliver of affection between her and Shen Jin, and asked him to be cautious about this matter as appropriate.

But Pei You certainly doesn't like this kind of thing.

She also promised him before that she would never see Shen Jin again.

Wen Ning was restless in Xiangti Garden, not to mention sleeping, she couldn't even eat.If you don't go to Shen Jin, if he goes to Dali Temple tomorrow and say something, it will be a final decision and cannot be changed.

If he went, how would she tell him?In what capacity did you speak to him?
After hesitating for an hour or two, Wen Ning still decided to go out.

Not to mention asking Shen Jin to say something that contradicted the facts, but when she went to find out what happened, she always felt a little confused, didn't she?

After changing her clothes, she called Linglan, intending to put on a cloak to cover her face, go quietly, and come back quietly.

Before people left the Xiangti Garden, the long-lost Shiliu came, just like last time, kneeling silently on one knee, holding a letter.

Finally messaged her again!
Wen Ning was overjoyed, took it and opened it hastily.

As always, the familiar handwriting, as always, only one line, this time the candle is still on, but it is written in black and white, clearer than last time——

"If you dare to see my concubine, your leg will be broken."

Wen Ning: "..."
