When the wife of the right prime minister is killed, it is naturally a big case.

In particular, the mother-in-law next to the right prime minister's wife kept blaming the incident on the popular Emperor Mingde, which made the matter even more eye-catching.

The next day, before dawn, a group of spectators stopped halfway up the mountain to watch the fun.

Lingshan Temple has been put under martial law, and all the mountain roads in front and behind are surrounded by officers and soldiers. Those who entered the temple yesterday, whether they were staying temporarily or temporarily praying for Buddha, have left the temple, were all invited to the mountain overnight by people from Dali Temple, and they were checked one by one. .

Bai Chengming knelt down in front of Mrs. Bai, looking in disbelief at his mother who had been separated forever after not seeing him for a day, crying so hard that it made people cry!
"Husband~~" Hu Yingxiu took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention. She tugged on Bai Chengming's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Mr. Wu Lang of the Cai family was also on the mountain at that time. He said he caught a suspicious person and asked if you want it?"

If you catch a suspicious person, why not send him directly to the government and ask yourself what does it mean?
Bai Chengming was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Cai Wei meant. He lowered his voice and said, "Tell someone to tell Mr. Cai to stay at his place. After the matter is resolved, I will definitely come to say thank you!"

"Yes, husband!" Hu Yingxiu stood up and followed her mother-in-law into the inner room by taking the money for alms for the monk who was reciting the mantra of rebirth. She quietly met the young woman sent by Cai Ji. The two discussed a few words in the room. , and walked away separately.

Dali Temple operates according to the rules. Several judges led people to search for evidence and inquired about the words of people in the temple. The lady next to the old lady Bai mentioned that the chamberlain of Emperor Mingde was the chamberlain given to Zhao Fujin by Zhao Ji. The leader's surname is Lu and his given name is Xiangyi.

He had no errands that day, so he passed by Lingshan Temple with two young chamberlains to visit friends outside the city. He originally wanted to stay at Lingshan Temple, but unexpectedly, he canceled the reserved Zen room when something unexpected happened when he entered the temple.

Lu Xiangyi has also been recalled to Lingshan Temple to assist in the investigation.

The young monk who entertained them that day also said that they left the temple after retreating from the meditation room, and a woodcutter who cut wood saw them coming down the mountain.

But the woman refused to give in. She cried and said that Lu Xiangyi poked his head outside the courtyard of their Zen room, and then deliberately made noises to attract their attention. When they came to their senses, Mrs. Bai was stabbed through. Got breasts!

In her hand, she still had the purse that Lu Xiangyi was carrying. Lu Xiangyi had admitted that it did belong to her, but she didn't know when it was lost.

Lu Xiangyi couldn't tell the time of the loss and couldn't find the person to prove it, so he was temporarily detained by Dali Temple, along with the two eunuchs he brought with him.

It was such a coincidence that there was obviously no time to commit the crime, but there was evidence left at the scene of the crime, so it couldn't be related.

It was a minor matter that Lu Xiangyi was involved in the case, and the most important thing was Emperor Mingde behind him.

People in the court began to impeach Zhao Fujin again, charging Zhao Fujin with charges such as "seeking wealth and killing people", "accepting bribes", "causing harm to the country and the people", and "heinous crimes".

Zhao Fujin's reputation has gone from being a bad name spread among officials to becoming a figure that is praised and beaten by everyone in the entire imperial city, from the official clan to the common people in the neighborhood.

Previously it was "beat the bucket, pour the vegetables, and it will be a good world on earth."

She became "the No. 1 disaster for the country and the people, the evil emperor who dominates and brings blessings".

In addition, she has the ability to pick up objects from the air, and this reputation is added to the reputation of "when evil comes to the world, there will be disaster, and God will punish it if it is not eliminated!"

This move is cruel!Even among the officials in the court, some people have begun to make excuses, asking the officials to burn the evildoers to prove the punishment.

Zhao Fujin ignored this and rushed into the east courtyard to watch Zhou Tong train a [-]-man square. He got excited and practiced a few more moves. He became addicted to it and even started to train new recruits according to Zhou Tong's appearance. , followed the training.

Things are calm here, but troubles are constant over Zhao Ji's place.

Not to mention that most of the officials in the court were making trouble in the court every day, even folklore could not hold them back.

From the time when Qin Xiang committed adultery with his wife and daughter and killed a man, Mrs. Bai gave up her wealth to beg the emperor to beg for a grandson, to when she transferred Qin Xiang and was discovered by the mistress, Mrs. Bai failed to save her grandson, failed to get the money back, turned against the emperor, and was eventually killed. .

These stories have been made into stories and told around by storytellers and actors.

Zhao Ji quietly went out to have some fun, but all he heard about it was this matter. In addition, he saw with his own eyes that Zhao Fujin took things out of thin air and made them appear out of thin air, and he started to feel a little uneasy.

At the moment, Lezi couldn't care less about looking for it. He returned to the palace overnight and summoned Zhao Fujin.

Perhaps because of his guilty conscience, he specially invited Empress Zheng to accompany her. The two of them sat together, looking at Zhao Fujin as if they were interrogating prisoners, without even arranging a seat for her.

Zhao Fujin didn't mind either. After giving the gift to everyone, he calmly asked, "Did daddy and eldest lady have something to do with calling my daughter here in the middle of the night?"

"Fifth sister, isn't Mrs. Bai really the one you sent to kill Xiangyi?" Empress Zheng received Zhao Ji's look and asked first.

"Lu Xiangyi was really passing by there. He didn't kill anyone." Zhao Fujin said firmly: "Mrs. Bai stole his wallet and threw it at the scene in order to frame me."

"Fifth sister, how is that possible? Who would risk their own lives to frame others!" Empress Zheng frowned: "If you want to be wrong and harm others, you should tell the officials earlier and let them It’s only serious that he tries to suppress the matter.”

"Madam, how can you and dad not believe me!" Zhao Fujin complained aggrievedly: "I was drugged and assassinated before, and people put the evidence into your palace. Convinced.”

"Why is this the same!" Empress Zheng had a headache: "That is a matter in our palace. In the end, it is also a family matter. It can be solved at home without causing a big mess..."

"Is it possible that my daughter's life is no better than that of Mrs. Bai?" Zhao Fujin said faintly: "After she dies, father and you will come to extract a confession from your daughter. My daughter has told you that the person behind the scenes is Yao. Meng from Hua Palace, why don’t you help your daughter seek justice?”

"Fifth sister, the one in Yaohua Palace has a special status. If there is no definite evidence, it is best not to touch the late emperor's concubines." Empress Zheng explained: "Don't worry, you really didn't send Mrs. Ruobai to kill her. Your father I will find out the truth for you."

Queen Zheng's words are indeed true.

Meng was the first wife of the late emperor Zhao Xi. The late emperor had no heirs, so Zhao Ji inherited her brother's throne and became an official.If the first wife of the former official's family is executed without any evidence, it will not be popular if word spreads.
