Chapter 196: Putting the blame on [Please vote for me! 】
Xingbu, inner hall.
When Zhuxiesi took Manhu away but did not take action against him, Haidong Hou noticed something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next day, he received a letter from the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice.
From then on everything became clear.
Chen Su was a sword borrowed from Liang Fuguo, and people in the court had already acquiesced in this. Now that Zhuxiesi is helping Liang Fuguo do some private work, there is nothing surprising.
Haidong Hou felt a little more at ease, because according to Liang Fuguo's character, as long as he was still willing to see him, he would have to talk. If I didn't want to talk to you, I would have killed him long ago.
Before, he pursued and beat up the Lu family until everyone was killed, but he never talked to Lu Yuanwang once.
This is a very sensitive period for Jiu Yang's infiltration. If his secret meeting with Yang Yang is revealed at this time, even if he does not die, his future will be cut off. Liang Fuguo holds this card in his hand, and his plan is definitely not small.
Before leaving, Marquis Haidong also warned his wife: "Liang Fuguo must have evil intentions when he comes to me this time. I may not be able to agree to all the things he asks. If I say no, I may not be able to come back. Here I am. I have never dared to let you take charge of the wealth I have accumulated over the years because I was afraid that you would steal it to raise wild men. Now it’s time to hand it all over to you. If I really can’t come back, you must take care of it. To raise children, even if you find a man, don’t wrong the children.”
Mrs. Haidong Hou said plaintively: "What are these things that the Marquis said? If you have any shortcomings, I will definitely follow you!"
"Oh." Haidong Hou sighed, not at all Treat her, how can he still not know what his wife is like after being married for so many years?
Come with me...
Don't let me have three long and two shortcomings, just make up for the three longings and two shortcomings over there immediately.
The reason why he has always ignored her is because his wife's family is very powerful, and secondly... he is the same way.
It's a royal tradition, everyone just plays his own way.
It is now that he has encountered a sudden disaster, and he has no choice but to entrust this family to his wife.
Haidong Hou handed a jade talisman around his waist to his wife and warned: "With this token, go to the South Gate Warehouse and you can open all the furniture I have hidden over the years. If anything happens to me, you will Take them back to your parents' home, don't stay in Longyuan City for a long time."
After explaining the funeral arrangements, he set off.
When we arrived at the inner hall of the Ministry of Punishment, we saw that the Prime Minister of the Left was sitting behind the chair, waiting quietly in the scattered sunlight.
"Master Marquis." Liang Fuguo stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down."
"I dare not." Haidong Hou said respectfully: "I am now a guilty person. When asked by Zuo Xiang, I still stand. Just answer it. But I don’t understand something. The person was obviously arrested by the Zhu Xie Department. Why was he handed over to the Criminal Department for interrogation and the left prime minister came to question him? "
"Because there have been several cases before. It's all related to the Marquis. The Ministry of Punishment is just handling the case. The matter is so important that the subordinates don't dare to handle it, so I have to handle it myself." Liang Fuguo said leisurely: "Haidong Marquis is a nobleman of the clan and has made great contributions to the country. I really don't want to pursue it. , I tried my best to suppress the previous things, but this time I really didn’t dare to suppress the people arrested by Zhuxie Division, so I invited the Marquis to come over to discuss countermeasures.”
Haidong Hou looked a little strange. I almost wanted to laugh.
You are truly amazing, Liang Fuguo.
You've become a great philanthropist, right?
Why are you saying these things? I have committed many things, but you have suppressed them all for me? If you can help someone press anything in this life, it can only be a coffin board!
It is said that in official circles there are many smiling faces, but there are also very few laughing faces.
Haidong Hou gritted his teeth and said in vain: "Master Zuo Xiang is kind, and everyone in the government and the public knows it. There may be some misunderstanding in this. If Master Zuo can tell me in advance, Maybe I can explain it clearly."
"That's what I meant." Liang Fuguo chuckled: "It is said that Zheng Kan from Liangjiang Mansion was your nephew and he has been helping you. He bullied men and women, and committed all kinds of evil, so he was sent to me by the Zhu Xie Department. As a result, he died without spending the night.”
"That child did help me take care of some things, but I don't know much about how he behaves in Liangjiang Mansion on weekdays. Since he is dead now, then..." Haidong Hou said slowly.
"The bad thing is that he died." Liang Fuguo interrupted him and continued: "If he were still alive, I would leave Xiao Shi's punishment to the Marquis. But the prisoner died in my prison in the Criminal Department. How could I not investigate such an evil thing strictly? Unexpectedly, after investigation, it was discovered that a prison official in prison had taken a huge bribe and poisoned him. After the official got the money, he took him with him that night. The family wanted to escape from Longyuan City, but fortunately I took him back after some arrests."
"When I was taken back for interrogation, he clung to me randomly and actually said it was you, Lord Marquis. "Liang Fuguo looked directly at Haidong Hou, "How to trade, how to poison, and how to escape are all explained clearly. If the confession is produced, it will be very detrimental to you, Mr. Hou."
"This is. Framing it!" Haidonghou shouted, "The Prime Minister of the Left cannot be deceived."
The spy in the Ministry of Justice is just for this critical moment. He felt that everything was done flawlessly. Was it actually under Liang Fuguo's control?
"Of course this is a frame-up." Liang Fuguo agreed, and then said: "The deceased was the junior you loved most, Lord Marquis. Lord Marquis did not violate laws and disciplines, so how could he attack him?"
"Yes." Haidong Hou nodded repeatedly, "Zheng Kan's father died to save my life. I personally promised him that he must raise Zheng Kan as his own son. Over the years, he has been my biological son. Ah! How could I kill him?"
"I believe this." Liang Fuguo suddenly changed the topic, "But this Zheng Kan, who is like the prince's own son, has confessed that he has been pretending to be a man. Some prohibited goods were shipped from Liangjiang Prefecture, headed west along the waterway, out of the West Sea, and sold to Jiu Yang. "My people followed his instructions and seized several cargo ships. The contents on board were shocking. Ordinary goods, as well as the fine gold, crossbows, mechanisms, and thunder and fire items secretly made by our country, all flowed to Jiu Yang. Zheng Kan committed this crime, but eight lives are not enough to kill him."
< br>
Hearing what Liang Fuguo said, Haidong Hou broke into a cold sweat instantly. He stared and said, "This is really a frame-up!"
After chatting here, he suddenly understood what Liang Fuguo wanted to do.
Zheng Kan’s confession had been obtained, and he had just received the news. It was clearly a trick to trick him into using a secret agent to kill him, so as to make himself guilty even more!
In this way, he has committed the crime of murder and silence, and Zheng Kan's confession will become more authentic. Everything on the boats he confessed will be more credible.
Liang Fuguo took the opportunity to add ingredients and a lot of contraband.
You must know that when he did business with Jiu Yang, he just wanted to make money, not to lose his head! Although the Golden Sheep Department has asked for high prices many times, he has never sold contraband related to military supplies.
He is not a fool and knows what can and cannot be touched.
He was just secretly doing business with Jiu Yang. Based on his previous achievements, it is unlikely that he will die. At most, he will be dismissed from office and his property will be confiscated. But if he sells military supplies, even he, the Marquis of Haidong, will not be able to escape the disaster of annihilation.
Liang Fuguo wants him dead!
"Naturally." Liang Fuguo's eyes were filled with a hint of joking, "In addition, the Nine Martingale envoys were captured from your home on this day. Each and every one of them is an attack on Haidong Hou. He is deliberately setting the blame, and I believe that the Holy One will be able to clear up the truth and clear the Lord Hou’s name.”
“Lord Zuo Xiang!” Haidong Hou shouted loudly.
During this period, if the matter between him and Jiu Yang came to court, it would be tantamount to directly condemning him to death. Since Liang Fuguo did it, he must have done it without leaving any trace. Even if His Majesty believed in himself, it would be useless.
Once the matter is put on the table, the death of Haidong Hou will not be enough for the common people.
No one can save him then.
After some thought, he calmed down and looked at Liang Fuguo calmly, "What conditions do you have, just tell me, there is no need to threaten me anymore."
The situation is clear, Liang Fuguo With one move after another, he has turned himself into meat on the board. If he doesn't want him to do something, he can be eaten at any time.
You might as well just lie down.
What Liang Fuguo wanted was his despairing attitude. Only then did he put away his teasing attitude and reveal his familiar cold face.
"It doesn't matter whether you die or not, I only want you to explain two things." Liang Fuguo said.
"But according to the orders." Haidong Hou replied with lowered eyes, already being penetrated.
"First, I want you to hand over the list of people behind you." Liang Fuguo said bluntly: "I know that most of your income over the years has been divided among the clan elders behind you, and all you have left is A small number, I want you to write down their names one by one.”
Haidong Hou glanced at Liang Fuguo. Even if he was the most powerful left prime minister since the founding of the dynasty, he didn't think he could shake those people.
After thinking about it, he felt that Liang Fuguo's move might be to intimidate him. As long as there is a list that he has given to himself, if he takes it out at the critical moment, he will definitely be cleared. This move was probably just to keep it a secret.
Thinking like this, he nodded and said: "Okay."
"Second, I want you to recall something." Liang Fuguo suddenly changed his tone and said, " Sixteen years ago, during the southern expedition to Yunxiang Kingdom, you were responsible for the military logistics. After a major defeat, you were responsible for the aftermath. I think you should have evidence in your hand, right?"
Haidong Hou's eyes suddenly changed. Deep fear emerged, "What do you want to do? Absolutely impossible. If you want to dig this thing out, you are seeking death!"
...
“What do you want to do?”
In Zhuxie Yamen, Wen Yifan was also asking Liang Yue this question.
Liang Yue suddenly called her over just now, with a mysterious look on his face, which made her very curious.
"Senior Sister Wen, aren't you going to recover your Supreme Immortal Body soon? There are some things that can cause big emotional fluctuations, so I'll let you experience them today." Liang Yue chuckled.
"Then what did you do in the room?" Wen Yifan was confused.
Liang Yue replied: "It is more comfortable to do this in the room, as few people are outside."
