After Shen Fengzhang released the news, he ordered people to pay close attention to the reactions of Yu Sizhong and others.

In the study of Tingwei Mansion, Shen Fengzhang was sitting behind the desk, listening to his subordinates report the situation.

"Reporting to my lord, the news has been released, but there is no movement from the old lords."

Shen Fengzhang lowered his eyes, without saying a word, picked up the Wenwan walnut left by the previous Tingwei, turned it twice in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

The scorching summer sun shines in from the window, casting interlaced shadows on the window lattice. The study was exceptionally quiet, and the subordinates standing aside did not dare to take a breath, and even controlled the frequency of their breathing carefully, for fear of interrupting Shangfeng's thinking.

With a snap, two Wenwan walnuts were buckled on the table, making a crisp sound.

Shen Fengzhang raised his head suddenly, his eyes were as sharp as knives, people like Yu Sizhong are indeed old foxes who have been in the officialdom for many years, and they are not willing to be tricked easily. That being the case, she can only make the last move!

Although Yu Sizhong and the others did not take any action in private, they began to attack Shen Fengzhang openly and aboveboard.

At the court meeting, Shen Fengzhang stood in the queue, seeing that the court meeting was about to end, she suddenly heard her name.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Lord Shen Tingwei!"

Shen Fengzhang in the queue raised his eyelids and looked at the minister who stood up. After seeing each other clearly, there was a faint smile on her lips. Still an acquaintance.

After submitting the memorial, Lin Wenzhi, the imperial censor, made an impassioned statement, "Your Majesty! The law stipulates that all prisoners who are to be interrogated must first examine their speeches with affection, and repeatedly check them. Only those who are still undecided can be tortured! And Except for homicide, theft, robbery and other serious crimes of homicide and seeking wealth, all of them can only be punished with a stick." Lin Wenzhi looked at the present Supreme, and spoke earnestly, "Your Majesty, Shen Tingwei's lynching of Fang Huaisheng is against the law! It must not be done. Appease!"

Sitting on the dragon chair, the Supreme Being had a solemn expression. He turned to Shen Fengzhang, "Shen Qing, what do you want to say?"

Shen Fengzhang calmly took a step forward. After walking out of the queue, she first bowed to the current Supreme, and then said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask Lord Lin first, how did Lord Lin know that the other party Huaisheng had committed a lynching?"

She turned to Lin Wenzhi, with a slight smile on her face, with an extremely harmless and polite look, waiting for Lin Wenzhi to speak. She wanted to see if Lin Wenzhi dared to say that there were people from them in Tingwei's mansion.

Of course Lin Wenzhi didn't dare to say that directly. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said, "Your Majesty, now the whole Jiankang has been spread, Mr. Shen used lynching to force Fang Huaisheng to speak, Fang Huaisheng couldn't bear it, and finally revealed the inside story." He turned to Shen Fengzhang with a serious expression on his face, "Master Shen, if you didn't use lynching, how could there be such rumors?"

Shen Fengzhang asked back: "Lord Lin, the rumor must be true?"

"No wind, no wave!"

Looking at Lin Wenzhi's tough and unyielding face, Shen Fengzhang suppressed the smile on her face, turned around, and turned to the current Supreme Being, "Your Majesty, I request that Master Lin be taken into custody immediately!"

Lin Wenzhi, who felt that he had the chance to win, never expected that Shen Fengzhang would say this suddenly. He was taken aback for a moment, and when he realized it, he was furious, his face flushed with anger. He looked at the present Supreme, his forehead twitched, although his face was angry, there was a bit of ecstasy in his heart. Shen Fengzhang made a big foolish move! Put the handle in his hands personally.

"Your Majesty! In the court, Lord Shen dares to arrest people without proof and without evidence. He really disregards the law and discipline and despises the Holy Majesty!"

"No!" Shen Fengzhang said with a straight face, "The reason why I request to arrest Mr. Lin is because there are rumors that Mr. Lin also took bribes privately!"

"Ridiculous!" Lin Wenzhi's heart skipped a beat, and without showing any trace on his face, he only said angrily, "It's too absurd for Mr. Shen to handle the case by just relying on rumors!"

Shen Fengzhang turned around, his eyes were icy cold, but there was a mocking smile on his lips, "Since you know that the rumors are groundless, if you impeach me for lynching based on the rumors, Master Lin, the censor Zhongcheng, has done a good job." Makes people laugh."

Going around in circles, Lin Wenzhi didn't expect Shen Fengzhang to join him in the opposite direction. He took a deep breath, looking at Shen Fengzhang's face, his anger became more and more intense. Turning around, he asked the current Supreme Master: "Your Majesty, whether Master Shen has used lynching or not, you can tell by bringing the prisoner up!"

Shen Fengzhang sneered, "Fang Huaisheng is an important criminal in the corruption case, so he can mention it at will."

"You are—" Lin Wenzhi's eyes widened, and he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

Today's supreme patted the armrest of the dragon chair, frowned, and said in a cold voice: "Okay! As Shen Qing said, rumors cannot be trusted. Lin Wenzhi, next time, don't make the mistake of impeaching court officials based on rumors!"

Lin Wenzhi lowered his head and gritted his teeth. What is wrong? ! As long as Fang Huaisheng is brought up to take a look, you will know the truth! Today's Supreme is nothing more than partial to Shen Fengzhang! He glanced imperceptibly in Yu Sizhong's direction and saw the other's slightly swaying hand, even though he hated him so much, he could only knock down his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

"Yes! I will remember His Majesty's instruction!"

"Okay, is there still Qing's family who wants to perform?" The present Supreme Master glanced at the servants, and just about to say that there is nothing to do, he saw Shen Fengzhang take a step forward.

"Your Majesty! I have something to say."

Facing Shen Fengzhang, the current Supreme Master softened his brows and eyes slightly, "What do you want to say, Shen Qing?"

"Your Majesty, at the beginning of the founding of the Taizu Dynasty, a thousand wastes were waiting to be revived. The current "Zhou Lu Shu Yi" was formulated based on the laws of the previous dynasty and combined with certain circumstances at the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty. Your Majesty , It has been a hundred years since the "Zhou Lu Shu Yi" was formulated, and the current situation is very different, in my opinion, it is time to rebuild the law."

Shen Fengzhang raised his hand, held up the jade wat, and bowed deeply to the current Supreme Being, with a loud voice, "Your Majesty, please allow me to lead people to re-establish the law! The birth of the new law can prolong the grand occasion of the Great Zhou for another hundred years. After a hundred years, the world will know It is His Majesty's merit that makes the world clear!"

The words He Qing Haiyan echoed in the hall for a long time.

Whether it's Yu Sizhong and others from the poor family, or the leading figures from the aristocratic family, they all know that the Supreme Being is tempted today. As long as the newly revised law lasts, how long the current Supreme Being who decides to rebuild the law will be remembered. Regardless of other merits, as long as he respects and revises the law today, his status in the law will even be comparable to that of the founder of the country in the future! However, His Majesty was tempted and agreed that after Shen Fengzhang presided over the restoration of the law, the power in her hands would only expand further. What kind of lynching official punishment is really up to her to decide!

Shen Fengzhang's hand is so high.

Today's Supreme looked down at the young gentleman who was dressed in a black court dress and looked so handsome that he seemed to be invincible. Infected by the other party's impassioned speeches, the current Supreme Master seems to have witnessed the situation of not picking up lost things on the road and not closing the house at night after a hundred years, and all of this depends on the newly revised law.

He closed his eyes, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart. After opening his eyes again, there was even a hint of radiance on the face of today's supreme being.

"Okay! Shen Qing, you will be responsible for rebuilding the law!"

Shen Fengzhang's eyes brightened, "I will not disgrace my mission!"

No one would have imagined that Shen Fengzhang, who was originally impeached to stand up, not only did not lose his post and go to jail, but instead received the good job of rebuilding the law, with more power in his hands than before! While many people cursed Shen Fengzhang in their hearts for flattering, flattering, flattering, and flattering the current Supreme Being, he was indeed a courtier, but at the same time they were jealous in their hearts.

Among them, Lin Wenzhi was the most uncomfortable.

Because Shen Fengzhang was to be impeached, he had been observing Shen Fengzhang at the court meeting. Shen Fengzhang didn't mean to speak up at all before! It was he who pulled Shen Fengzhang out, but let her open the mouth instead. But he, who was obviously impeached with reason and evidence, was reprimanded by the current Supreme.

Lin Wenzhi, who was overwhelmed with anger, thought about it and walked towards Shen Fengzhang after going down.

Although most people were scolding Shen Fengzhang in their hearts, there were also some people who were really envious of the good job of re-researching the law, and they came to make friends with Shen Fengzhang with a shy face and said good things. Shen Fengzhang had just dismissed a small official who came up to congratulate her when he saw Lin Wenzhi stop in front of her. She raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Lin Wenzhi, and waited for him to speak.

Lin Wenzhi's eyes were full of cruelty, he gritted his teeth, and threatened sharply, "Shen Fengzhang, everyone knows whether you have used lynching or not! You were lucky enough to escape this time, and I will keep an eye on you in the future! You Better not get caught in the wrong place by me, or—”

Facing Lin Wenzhi's cruel words, Shen Fengzhang smiled faintly, and the words that came out were arrogant and flamboyant, "Even if I use lynching, so what?" She looked at Lin Wenzhi, lowered her voice slightly, and said calmly, "After all , this law will soon be rebuilt.”

Lin Wenzhi clenched his fists in hatred, wishing to punch Shen Fengzhang's rampant face to the ground! Before he could say anything, Shen Fengzhang chuckled, and the particularly irritating smile on his face was withdrawn, with a somewhat mysterious meaning, "Master Lin, there are some things that if you want people to know, you have to do nothing about it." .”

"Pretentious!" Lin Wenzhi yelled angrily, but he was gradually startled when he saw Shen Fengzhang's dark eyes that seemed impermeable to any light.

"The rumors you said are not rumors, so the rumors I said must be rumors?"

Shen Fengzhang's voice was not as cruel and threatening as Lin Wenzhi's just now, but hearing it in Lin Wenzhi's ears, thinking of the conversation in the hall just now, his pupils shrank suddenly, he held his breath subconsciously, and asked: "Shen Fengzhang, are you What's the meaning?!"

Shen Fengzhang, who threw down the thunder, twitched the corners of his lips at Lin Wenzhi, with a perceptive look on his face. She didn't explain anything, but turned around with a smile and walked towards an official who had just walked out.

"Master Xue, shall we chat?"

Ruan Yutan, one of the leaders of the poor family who was left behind, came out with his confidants, and the two saw the interaction between Lin Wenzhi and Shen Fengzhang in their eyes.

Cheng Ye, Ruan Yutan's confidant, turned his head and asked Ruan Yutan softly, "Teacher, did Shen Fengzhang really know something from Fang Huaisheng?"

Ruan Yuqin shook his head slightly. He looked at Shen Fengzhang and made Lin Wenzhi startled. He said in a low voice, "Before she presents evidence, don't act rashly." The tricks, the sword is slanted, and he likes to make strange moves. Now this rumor is likely to be released by herself, just waiting to catch them in the dark.

After hearing Ruan Yutan's words, Cheng Ye nodded and decided to stand still. Just thinking that Shen Fengzhang was so arrogant these few times, but they couldn't fight back, I feel really aggrieved. He looked at Ruan Yutan, and couldn't help asking: "Teacher, Shen Fengzhang is acting so arrogantly that he doesn't take teacher, Master Yu, etc. seriously, so he can't think of a way to suppress her, can he just let her go?" Is she so rampant?"

Ruan Yutan, who had just passed his sixtieth year, with white beard and hair, had the same expression on his face. He still looked like a mountain collapsed in front of his eyes without changing his expression. He lifted the hem of his robe with his thin and old hands, and walked down the steps carefully.

"Calm down." Ruan Yutan said calmly to his disciple who was supporting him.

Steadily walking down the steps, Ruan Yutan led his disciples towards the outside of the palace gate, while teaching them softly, "Your Majesty used to promote poor people to fight against the aristocratic families. Now that the poor families are growing stronger, His Majesty hopes that someone will file a file against the poor families." upward momentum.”

Among Ruan Yutan's many disciples, although Cheng Ye was his favorite, he was not the smartest. Hearing the teacher's analysis, he suddenly realized, "So Shen Fengzhang is the whetstone chosen by His Majesty to sharpen and warn us?"

Ruan Yuqin didn't answer him directly, he walked slowly towards the ox cart outside the palace gate, and said softly, "Even if there is no Shen Fengzhang, there will be Li Fengzhang, Zhou Fengzhang."

"If His Majesty wants to use her now, he will naturally favor her and make her powerful. After a long time, when she commits public anger, His Majesty will naturally deal with her. If she continues to be so rampant, His Majesty will have to give up on her within two years. Until then At that time, no matter how beautiful she is now, she will end up in such a miserable end."

"Then we are avoiding the edge for now?" Cheng Ye asked.

"Her majesty is behind her. As long as you don't shake the foundation of the poor family, there is no need to completely confront her." But if she dares to reach out to the foundation of the poor family, then don't blame them for chopping it off!

There was a flash of light in Ruan Yutan's seemingly old and cloudy eyes, which was extremely frightening.

Ever since he experienced Shen Fengzhang's despicability and her vicious schemes on the day of his execution, Fang Huaisheng has been anxious. Although the jailer in the prison not only brought a doctor to treat him, but also served him with food and drink all day long, Fang Huaisheng still lost weight rapidly.

He was imprisoned and had no information. He was worried all day whether the people above believed Shen Fengzhang's rumors. He didn't know why Shen Fengzhang knew about Mr. Lin, he was afraid that others would not believe it!

In such a situation, even if he heard movement at the door of the cell, he didn't bother to look up.

It wasn't until the jailer put him in the cell opposite him that he inadvertently looked up and found that the new inmate looked familiar.

Fang Huaisheng raised his head suddenly, took a careful look, and was too shocked to speak. He quickly got up and walked to the door quickly, and said to the opposite side in disbelief, "Master Xue! Why are you here?!"

In the opposite cell, Xue Xiufeng, dressed in a prison uniform, hunched over, and in a trance, suddenly raised his head, staring straight at Fang Huaisheng, with a hoarse voice, he forced out a voice from his throat, "Fang Huaisheng! Do you still have the nerve to ask me why I came in? Isn't it you who confessed me?!" He said, walked to the door of the cell, grabbed the wooden railing, and spat viciously at Fang Huaisheng.

"Shameless villain!"

Seeing Xue Xiufeng angry and hated, looking at him as if wanting to drink blood, Fang Huaisheng couldn't help taking two steps back. He took a deep breath, and tried his best to defend Xue Xiufeng: "Master Xue! I really didn't say anything!"

Xue Xiufeng sneered three times, full of hatred, "Fang Huaisheng, if you didn't say it, why did your sentence come down? Exile to Hepu! According to Shen Fengzhang's temperament and the seriousness of this case, under normal circumstances, she would let you go A way out?!"

Fang Huaisheng had no idea that his order had come down. It's just that exile is indeed much better than he originally estimated. However, in this result, are Yu Sizhong and others protecting him, or is Shen Fengzhang deliberately setting up a situation? It would be fine if Yu Sizhong and others protected him, but if Shen Fengzhang set up a trap, I am afraid Master Yu and the others would misunderstand like Xue Xiufeng.

All of a sudden, the joy of saving his life faded away. Looking at Xue Xiufeng opposite him, he felt restless and unable to explain.

"Lord Xue—" Fang Huaisheng took two steps forward, and wanted to ask Xue Xiufeng about the situation outside, but Xue Xiufeng spat again.

This time he couldn't dodge in time, and was vomited. Wiping the thick phlegm off his face in disgust, Fang Huaisheng looked at Xue Xiufeng who turned away, unwilling to talk to him, and when he got angry, he stopped talking to him.

There were not many people locked up in this cell, only Fang Huaisheng was alone. Now that there was an extra Xue Xiufeng, the two of them didn't speak, they were still as lifeless as before.

What broke the silence was the sound of the jailer bringing the food.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!" The jailer came in with a food box and yelled at the two of them.

He first walked to Fang Huaisheng's cell, took out his key and opened a small door, took out the food from the food box and placed it on the ground. With Shen Fengzhang's orders in front, the food is very rich.

A piece of braised fish and a bowl of braised pork, plus two dishes of vegetarian dishes, complete in color, flavor, and a big bowl of fluffy white rice.

Fang Huaisheng had eaten this kind of food for the past two days, and he didn't realize that there was something wrong for a while. He picked up the chopsticks and was just about to eat when he heard a sneer from the opposite cell.

"Fang Huaisheng! You still said you didn't leak the secret!"

He was clearly innocent, but he was misunderstood all the time and was even spit on. Even if Fang Huaisheng wanted to defend himself, he didn't get up fast right now. He raised his head and said in an impatient voice, "Master Xue, what do you want—"

Before Fang Huaisheng finished speaking, his voice stopped. He looked at Xue Xiufeng's clear soup and little water in front of him in the cell opposite, like pig food, and suddenly came to his senses and flew into a rage.

"Shen Fengzhang, this despicable villain! Shameless and sinister!"

However, no matter how much he scolded Shen Fengzhang, he had to admit that his reaction to Yu Sizhong and others was getting more and more uncertain.

Once the order was issued, the following things developed very quickly. Before Fang Huaisheng could react, he was lifted out of the prison by the guards, put on wooden shackles on both hands and feet, and was escorted by the guards to the place of exile.

Fang Huaisheng stood outside Jiankang City with shackles on his body. The soldiers beside him were urging him, but he couldn't help but stop and look back at the majestic city wall of Jiankang.

In just one month, he felt as if half his life had passed. Standing under the sun again, he even had the illusion of being in another world. I went to Hepu this time, and I don’t know if there is any chance to come back.

Fang Huaisheng couldn't help but look back again, the official road was empty and there was no one. Alas, I don't know how Hui Niang and the children are doing now. He turned around, dragged the heavy shackles, and walked forward slowly.

"Father!"

Fang Huaisheng turned his head abruptly, just in time to see an ox cart slowly approaching, with a thin layer of loess raised behind the cart. A familiar little face poked its head out of the car and yelled at him.

"Yaoer!" Fang Huaisheng rushed towards the bullock cart regardless of the shackles on his hands and feet.

The bullock cart stopped, and three children jumped out of the cart, followed by a lady with a gentle face.

"Father!" "Father!"

The three children surrounded Fang Huaisheng, chattering happily. Looking at the small faces, Fang Huaisheng's heart was burning hot, and he couldn't stop ironing. He reluctantly raised his hand to touch the faces of the children, and looked up at his wife, feeling agitated.

"Huiniang, why are you here?"

Hui Niang pursed her lips and smiled, "I plan to take the child to Hepu with you."

Fang Huaisheng's face immediately changed, "Nonsense!" It was a long way from Jiankang to Hepu, and Hepu was a barren land. "You take the child and go back to your hometown."

Although he came from a poor family, he was not from a poor family. His family has dozens of acres of fertile land and many tenants.

Hui Niang shook her head and said softly, "My child and I have already planned to go with you. We are a family, where you are, we will naturally be there."

Fang Huaisheng's expression froze, after all he was reluctant to part with his children and his wife. After a while, he nodded slowly.

"Then get in the car and follow us closely." At least in this way, the guards can protect them.

Fang Huaisheng was about to start again when he suddenly heard a loud voice.

"Master Fang! Don't you say goodbye to your old friends before you leave?" Shen Fengzhang, dressed in black and handsome, rode on a horse and led people galloping from far to near.

"Hoo!"

The tall horse stopped in front of Fang Huaisheng. Shen Fengzhang sat on the horse, looked down at Fang Huaisheng, with a smile on his lips, and slightly raised his voice, "Master Fang, in vain did I even order someone to send Mrs. Ling and a few children here."

As soon as he saw Shen Fengzhang, Fang Huaisheng immediately blocked his wife and children who hadn't gotten into the ox cart behind him, his face full of vigilance, "Shen Fengzhang, what are you trying to do?!"

Shen Fengzhang had a smile on his face, and his brows showed a sassy look, "Lord Fang, there is no need to be so vigilant. I just came to see off old friends and say a few farewell words."

"Lord Fang, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, Lord Fang must take care of himself!"

When Shen Fengzhang spoke, there was nothing wrong with his tone. However, hearing it in Fang Huaisheng's ears made his heart skip a beat. For a moment, it seemed as if there was a beast waiting for him with its huge mouth open on the road ahead.

How Yu Sizhong and the others would react, weighed heavily on his mind in an instant.

However, in front of Shen Fengzhang, he did not reveal any anxiety. He squinted his eyes slightly, snorted coldly, and retorted, "Master Shen, you have to be yourself! Do you think you can live a good life for a few days with what you are doing now?!"

After saying this, he stopped looking at Shen Fengzhang and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of Fang Huaisheng leaving slowly, Shen Fengzhang had a slight smile on his lips. She waved her hand behind her, and immediately a subordinate on a gray horse stepped forward.

"Are you ready?" Shen Fengzhang asked softly, his handsome and elegant face looked extraordinarily noble under the blue sky with high sky and clear clouds, making it impossible for people to imagine what an amazing plan she was actually arranging.

The subordinate responded, "Don't worry, Lord Lang, the subordinates have already ordered people to lie in ambush on the road, and the ambush can be carried out as soon as the time comes."

Shen Fengzhang looked at the gradually shrinking black spots on the official road, and bent his lips. Since those old foxes refused to fall into the trap, she could only set a trap for Fang Huaisheng to jump into. She must get the testimony from Fang Huaisheng's mouth!

"Go! Let's follow from a distance!"
