173 Chapter 150 two secret letters (added for the alliance leader, Oreo is a little salty) _1
In the evening, Wei Yuan returned from the palace.
A spacious and luxurious carriage drove into the Yamen. Wei Yuan stepped down from the carriage on a small ladder. Xu Qi ‘an went up to him and whispered, “”Lord Wei …”
The grey-haired Wei Yuan looked at him and said, “”King Yu has written a blood letter, accusing the count of Ping Yuan, the Minister of Revenue, and the Minister of War of plotting against the imperial family.”
Xu Qi ‘an had already heard about King Yu’s operation from Princess huaiqing. He nodded.”Your Majesty has handed it over to the three departments for a joint trial?”
“No!” Wei Yuan shook his head. His Majesty’s anger is no less than Prince Yu’S. He couldn’t wait that long. He immediately wrote an imperial edict and invited the supervisor to enter the palace to confront the three of them. At that time, the Lords of the Imperial court were also present.”
“And the result?” Xu Qi ‘an already knew the result, but he still had to ask.
Wei Yuan sighed,”plotting against the royal family and the Barbarian race.” The notice would come latest by tomorrow morning. The Liang gang is finished.”
The three barbarian races … Xu Qi ‘an was slightly moved.
The so-called three barbarian clans were the three clans of the Father, the three clans of the mother, and the three clans of the wife. They could be classified as the capital punishment. They were second only to the rebellious Yi nine tribes.
“AI, I’m afraid I’ll have to kill so many people tomorrow.” Xu Qi ‘an also sighed. He didn’t know whether to clap or feel sorry for the innocent people who were implicated.
Although ping Yuanbo’s entire clan had been exterminated, there would still be at least a few dozen or even a hundred people who would die compared to the three barbarian races. None of the relatives within the three clans of the count of Ping Yuan could escape.
The other two were the same.
“The Liang faction?” Xu Qi ‘an asked, puzzled.
Wei Yuan nodded,”the Liang gang benefited the most from King Yu’s withdrawal from the power struggle.” The Minister of War, Zhang Feng, and the Minister of Revenue, sun Mingzhong, were the leaders. Ping Yuanbo joined the Liang gang last year.”
“Lord Wei, then, then my matter …” Xu Qi ‘an said in a low voice. The political parties in the court were too far away from him, and Xu Qi ‘an was unwilling to accept it.
He only cared about his future and life.
there’s no rush. His Majesty is still in a fit of anger. It’s not good to mention this at this time. Wei Yuan shook his head.
This was the logic … Xu Qi ‘an nodded and bade Wei Yuan farewell. In the evening light, he headed home.
……
Dusk, in a certain room.
A fair hand held a pen and wrote on the letter:
————————————-
Dear master, ”
The Sang Bo case has already come to an end. The minister of rites once said that cooperating with us is like asking a Tiger for its skin. Heh, he’s quite accurate.
A year ago, I accidentally witnessed what happened to Princess Ping Yang and monk Heng Hui. Heng Hui died but didn’t die, and his primordial spirit condensed resentment. I refined him into a puppet and kept him by my side.
You said that the opportunity had come, and that the year of the capital investigation would be the beginning of our 500-year-long great undertaking.
Please forgive me for my disrespect, I was not optimistic. The supervisor of the Directorate of Celestials and the Daoist master of the human sect were among the most powerful in the world.
However, in this incident, the two of them chose to stand by and do nothing out of some tacit understanding … Once again, I praise you for your unparalleled wisdom.
Emperor yuanjing’s attitude towards this case was not positive, otherwise he would not have appointed a Gong as the chief executive. Everything was within your expectations.
However, that copper Gong was extremely powerful and had a keen sense of smell.
In the process of investigating the case, your arrival was discovered by him, and he came to the Imperial Academy’s workshop several times to spy on the demonic energy. If I may ask, did you do it on purpose?
Other night watchmen were also secretly investigating.
I had no choice but to push HUI JI to block the disaster. I know she’s your Clansman, so please forgive me for making this decision.
Don’t worry, I’ve already given it to the person who should have it.
I’m very sorry, all the clues for the tax silver case have been cut off … I’ve come into contact with Zhou Li many times, and he truly is just a dandy with a little bit of cleverness. He doesn’t know everything that his father, Assistant Minister Zhou, is planning.
I would like to report four things to master:
First, while the tax silver was being escorted, Assistant Minister Zhou had many opportunities to act, as that would be safer, but he chose to embezzle the 150000 tax silver in the capital.
This is truly puzzling. Assistant Minister Zhou is a smart man, but he made a muddled move. I think there must be a reason for this.
Unfortunately, Assistant Minister Zhou “accidentally” died during his exile, and no one can give me an answer.
“Second, according to reliable sources, Assistant Minister Zhou had taken over a million taels of silver in the past twenty years. However, when the Zhou residence was raided, the Imperial court only managed to plunder a few thousand taels of silver.
Where did the silver go?
3. Through a secret investigation of the Directorate of Celestials, it was discovered that the director’s youngest disciple was called Yan Caiwei. She was a very beautiful and interesting little girl. Of course, she was far from being comparable to her noble and beautiful master.
What I wanted to say was that the astrologers called her Little Junior Sister, or … Sixth Senior Sister. And the supervisor only had five personal disciples.
Fourth, the people of the witchcraft cult killed County Magistrate Zhao of Taikang County, who was the official who discovered the saltpeter mine.
That’s right, the sorcerers of the Sorcerer God religion had intervened in this matter. Furthermore, they could have used a more ingenious and covert method to silence him, but they had chosen to kill him in his dream.
It was not difficult to deduce that they were trying to mislead the Imperial court and defame the North vanquishing Prince. They were trying to drive a wedge between Emperor yuanjing and the North vanquishing Prince.
Finally, there’s a small thing that I can’t say. I fell in love with a man, a man that I shouldn’t have loved. I want master to take pity on me and help me reconstruct my body.
A servant who will always be loyal to you.
In another secret room, a man in a cloak was writing with a pen.
Dear Lord, ”
The plan for the tax and silver case failed, and I have to take the main responsibility. Vice Minister Zhou’s death was purely due to his stupidity. His son, who thought he was smart, had caused a series of plans to fail.
….
As you expected, the thousand demon Kingdom’s plan was successful. They released the sealed artifact under the Mulberry Lake.
I’ll describe in detail the information I’ve gathered over the past year in the letter.
About a year ago, the struggle between the nobles and the Civil officials had entered a white hot stage. King Yu represented the entire power of the nobles and, with Emperor Yuan jing’s tacit consent, became the Minister of War. He was only one step away from entering the cabinet.
During this process, his daughter, Princess Ping Yang, fell in love with a monk from the Azure Dragon Temple. The two decided to elope and asked for help from the son of his close friend, uncle Ping Yuan …
The three hedonistic sons had wanted to rape Princess Ping Yang and kill them to keep their mouths shut. However, they were met with intense resistance and Princess Ping Yang committed suicide by swallowing her hairpin.
The thousand Fey Kingdom’s spy in the capital of Da Feng accidentally discovered this scene. She used the corpse puppet to refine Heng Hui into a walking corpse puppet, held this secret, and went into hiding.
Da Feng launched a new round of investigation, and the fights between the parties became more and more intense. It had to be said that Emperor Yuan jing was a terrifying Emperor, and his Emperor’s mind was to the point of perfection.
However, he was not a good Emperor. In his eyes, there was only power and longevity.
The spies of the thousand demon Kingdom held this secret in their hands and quietly looked for a partner in the capital. In the end, she decided on the minister of rites and the power behind him.
It was because at that time, a saltpeter mine was discovered in the great Yellow Mountain of Taikang County, which was exactly what the remnants of the thousand demon Kingdom needed.
No one in the world could sneak into Sangbo and destroy the temple of mountains and rivers in Yongzhen without being noticed by Jian Zheng and the head of the path of the human sect, but gunpowder could help them complete this task.
The power behind the minister of rites had always wanted to take over the court and suppress the other parties. As one of the obstacles, the Liang gang was naturally on their list.
The two sides came to an agreement. The minister of rites would help the remnants of the thousand Fey Kingdom to blow up Yongzhen mountain river temple and release the sealed artifact under the temple.
The thousand Fey Kingdom’s surviving members pushed Heng Hui to the front of the stage and led the night watchman to investigate the disappearance of Princess Ping Yang.
In order to get rid of his suspicion, the minister of rites used his spy, Zhou chixiong, the centurion of the Golden guards, to send the gunpowder to the Imperial City and bury it under the mountain river temple. He had also killed a total of nine officers from the Supreme Court, the Ministry of Rites, and the palace in order to mislead the officials of the three Yamen.
They even wanted to use gunpowder to frame the Qi party’s Minister of Works, but they had underestimated copper Gong Xu Qi ‘an. I assassinated County Magistrate Zhao and tried to mislead him to investigate the North vanquishing Prince. Unfortunately, he didn’t fall for it. This child was astute beyond compare.
Zhou chixiong, the centurion of the Kingo guard, had deliberately killed Liu Han, the small flag Officer, to attract the attention of the night watchman and the Deputy prefect. During the other party’s interrogation, he had used a celestial device to block the Qi-observing technique and led the night watchman to turn his attention to Azure Dragon Temple to discover the eloping case of monk Heng Hui and follow the clues to investigate the factional dispute a year ago.
This was a brilliant move, and I don’t think a mere Baihu can do it. Without a doubt, it was the daughter of the demon Emperor who had personally placed a piece.
That’s the general course of the matter, but there are still two points I haven’t figured out:
[ 1. I have worked hard, but I still have not found out who the sealed artifact under sang Bo is. ] But one thing was clear, it had a great connection with Buddhism. The purpose of the thousand demon Kingdom’s survivors releasing it was also unknown.
Second, the supervisor’s attitude is really unpredictable. I can guess the purpose of Emperor Yuan jing opening the city restrictions, but I can’t guess the supervisor’s thoughts.
He didn’t do anything, but I feel like everything is within his expectations and control.
–Completed
…..
After Xu Qi ‘an returned home and had dinner, he told his second uncle about the progress of the Sang Bo case and the truth of the princess Ping Yang case.
Second uncle Xu was stunned and didn’t eat for a long time. He muttered, “”These scholars are really bad. Although I killed a lot of people back then, compared to them, I’m simply open and aboveboard.
“Ningyan, remember not to argue with scholars in the future. Don’t hesitate if you can use a knife. Otherwise, you won’t even know when you’ll be screwed.”
Xu Qi ‘an nodded and thought to himself, have you forgotten that you have a son who is a scholar?
“Ahem.” The aunt coughed hypocritically and looked to the side.”I’ve asked someone to make you some clothes. Lingyue will send them to you later. Does it fit … I’m too lazy to care.
After dinner, Xu Qi ‘an teased Xu lingying and talked to lingyue. He was about to return to his small courtyard.
“Ahem.” The aunt coughed hypocritically and looked to the side.”I’ve asked someone to make you some clothes. Lingyue will send them to you later. Does it fit … I’m too lazy to care. It’s up to you to wear it or not.”
“Oh, did the sun rise from the West today?” Xu Qi ‘an looked outside in surprise.
The aunt gritted her teeth and a word came out of her ruddy little mouth, “”Get lost.”
Xu Qi ‘an immediately rolled back to his own courtyard.
The moment he pushed open the door, his heart suddenly palpitated. It wasn’t the palpitations that came from sending messages through the fragments of the nether world Book, but the palpitations that caused his hair to stand on end and goosebumps to rise.
Xu Qi ‘an turned her head stiffly and looked at the bed. She saw a red, broken hand lying quietly on the bed.
His scalp instantly went numb, his adrenaline soared, and cold sweat rolled down his face.
