The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 139 The Male and Female Thief (2)
Pfft... Xiao Yunhe held back for a while, but couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Master." Seeing Xiao Yunhe spurting blood, everyone in the flower hall turned pale with fright and shouted out.

"Come here, quickly carry the master back to the room."

"Hurry up and invite the doctor." Qin's expression was flustered by fright, but fortunately, he has not lost his sense of responsibility.

A few servants hurriedly carried Xiao Yunhe away, and Qin Shi also hurriedly followed.

Xiao Teng is an only seedling in the House of Ministers of the Household Department. He grew up wearing clothes to stretch out his hands, opening his mouth to eat, and doing nothing. When he saw Xiao Yunhe vomit blood, he was so frightened that he lost two of his souls. Seeing Xiao Yunhe being carried away, He didn't know what to do, and sat in the hall in a daze.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Yunhe's group of yingyingyanyans, when Xiao Yunhe was carried away and Qin Shi followed them out, they all withdrew and left the flower hall, probably in a hurry to pack their bags.

On the second day, Hanyang City was bustling.

Early in the morning, the four city gates in the southeast, north and west of Hanyang City were completely surrounded by the people. The people had three floors inside and three floors outside. They surrounded the black and white letters pasted near the gates. There were so many people, not even the guards guarding the city. Dare to coax it away easily.

At the North City Gate...

"Such a dog official has stolen all our hard-earned money."

"The son of the country, the moth, deserves to be cut to death."

Among the common people, there must be some people who do business, and these people must know some accounts. Seeing Xiao Yunhe's crimes of corruption on the city wall, the common people were filled with righteous indignation.

"Have you heard that a pair of male and female thieves appeared in the city recently? These two male and female thieves are not ordinary thieves. My niece's sister-in-law's family was lucky enough to be rescued by male and female thieves, maybe the accounts on the city wall were also posted by male and female thieves." Among the crowd, a The middle-aged man said slowly.

The guards guarding the city gate saw that there were so many people watching. If they wanted to tear off the black and white writing on the city wall at this moment, it would be extremely difficult. Moreover, all these people were filled with righteous indignation. If they forcibly tore off the words pasted on the city wall, Or forcibly dispersing the people will inevitably arouse public resentment.

"Go and report this matter to the higher-ups." At this time, a guard in armor walked up to a small guard and gave instructions in a low voice.

"Yes." The little guard took the order and left quickly.

The situation at the other city gates was the same. The guards guarding the gates were afraid of arousing public resentment, so they didn't dare to take the initiative to disperse the people, so they had to report the matter to the higher authorities. To report to the higher authorities, whoever the officials who dealt with does not covet the throne of Minister of the Household Department, as long as they pull Xiao Yunhe off the horse, they will have a chance to take the throne.

The news was uploaded step by step without hindrance, and was finally reported to the palace of Emperor Xuande.

"You bastard, you are the ultimate bastard." In the imperial study, Emperor Xuande read the brochure uploaded by the minister, and he threw the brochure on the ground in a fit of anger.

Seeing that Emperor Xuande was so furious, Eunuch Zhao hurried forward to refill him a cup of ginseng tea: "Your Majesty, please calm down, don't be angry."

Emperor Xuande picked up the ginseng tea and took a sip, the sweet taste entered his mouth, the anger on his face receded a little, but his face was not very good-looking.

Xiao Yunhe has corrupted the law for many years under the eyes of Emperor Xuande. This is not just a simple embezzlement of money. It is completely provoking the authority of the royal family and playing with Emperor Xuande. There is no reason why Emperor Xuande should not be furious about this matter.

"Zhao Quan, serve me to draw up an order." Emperor Xuande said lightly.

Eunuch Zhao bowed quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

In Jingzhao Mansion...

As soon as Yang Qian, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion got up, he saw a book of accounts on the table.

Yang Qian frowned deeply. He remembered that before falling asleep last night, he didn't put any ledger on the table.

Suspicious in his heart, Yang Qian walked slowly to the table. He reached out to pick up the ledger on the table, and then slowly opened it. When he saw the contents of the ledger clearly, his heart beat violently. .

"Come here." Yang Qian shouted loudly towards the door.

After the sound fell, a yamen servant came in, and the yamen servant asked respectfully, "What's your order, sir?"

Yang Qian closed the account book: "Last night, there were unusual movements."

"My lord, the little one was on duty last night. The government office has been quiet all the time, and nothing suspicious was found." The yamen servant replied very positively.

"Okay, you go down now." If he could send the ledger into his room without making a sound, the other party must be no ordinary person. Fortunately, he didn't hurt him. Yang Qian knew that he couldn't find out why, so he went Tell the yamen servant to retreat.

"Yes, my lord." The yamen servant turned around respectfully and exited the room.

After Yang Qian dressed up in official uniform, under the service of the servant girl, after some grooming, he was having breakfast in the inner yamen.

At this time, a yamen servant hurriedly ran into the inner yamen: "My lord, it's not good, it's not good, many people have surrounded the government office."

Yang Qian put down the chopsticks in his hand, and shook his beard: "How decent is this, let me go and have a look."

The Jingzhao Mansion is an institution established by the emperor among the people. The Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion is directly under the emperor's sect, and the power of the official position can also be great. Xiao Yunhe's corruption belongs to the important officials of the court who know the law and break the law. Such a high-ranking official commits a crime. First, the emperor can intervene in person. However, they can pass the joint trial of the three divisions, but the small people can neither see Tianyan nor the senior officials of the third division, so they can only come to surround the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

Yang Qian got up, shook the official robe on his body, and ran outside with a serious face.

"Xiao Shangshu has no conscience and embezzles the hard-earned money of our common people."

"Xiao Shang is corrupt and accepts bribes. He is a dog official and a moth of the country."

"Severely punish Xiao Shangshu and give us common people justice."

As soon as Yang Qianyi stepped out of the yamen, he heard the overwhelming shouts of the people.

The yamen of the Jingzhao Mansion was surrounded by the people, and the people were still pouring in. Twenty or thirty yamen servants formed a human wall, blocking the people out of the government yamen with difficulty.

"Severely punish Xiao Shangshu, such a conscienceless person should be cut to pieces."

The shouts of the common people came to Yang Qian's ears one after another. When Yang Qian saw these scenes, the common people were so agitated. This was completely a mass demonstration, and a little mishandling would cause the common people to riot.

"My lord, what should I do?" A yamen servant asked.

At this moment, cold sweat broke out on Yang Qian's forehead. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a flick of his sleeve. He was completely helpless in such a situation. Besides, he did not dare to try Xiao Yunhe's case without the approval of his superiors. .
