    Thoroughly investigating the private salt case, Jin Yiwei lost seven elites. Although there is no complete evidence to prove who the murderer was, everyone already has a conclusion in their minds.

    Xue Changqing should never have messed with Jinyiwei. On the second day, there were 33 Jinyiwei officials of seventh rank and above in Nanbei Town Fusi, all wearing official robes.  With the example of the officials of the Imperial College and Jinyiwei, the direction of the wind changed drastically, and many officials who were neutral and on the sidelines also sneaked to sign, trying to get a piece of the Xue family case.

    The atmosphere in the court has always been like this, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and the wall fell and everyone pushed it, it was Xue Changqing's retribution.

    On August 13th, there are still six days before the deadline for joint signatures. One hundred and forty-two people have signed on the long silk scroll, accounting for more than 40% of the Chinese and military officials in the dynasty. Only nine more people need to sign, the law  The law can be amended and take effect. Even if Xue Changqing cannot be completely defeated, at least Xue Rui will no longer be at large.

    After three days and lobbying nine people, Jiang Yan was confident.

    Summer rains are torrential, and Yingtian Mansion has been soaked in rainwater for several days, and the air is full of humid water vapor.  In front of Jinyi Guards, Fu Li, who had been suspended for half a month, was released from his post.  He was wearing a black silk oil coat and galloped on a shiny horse. The horse's hooves stepped over the puddles, splashing rain all over the ground.

    At the corner in front of the guard, a young man in a blue official robe walked out slowly.  As the rain fell, he was holding a paper umbrella, with only a clean chin exposed under the eaves, and the egret embroidered on the chest of his official uniform sang loudly, floating like a fairy.

    Cheng Wen?

    Fu Li subconsciously reined in the horse, and the horse braked sharply, and stamped uncomfortably on the spot.  Cheng Wen lowered the umbrella eaves very low, and kept walking, only whispered when passing by the horse: "Ming Yezi, Zhuangyuan Mansion, I will make a deal with you."  Pass.

    The sound of the rain was noisy and the vision was hazy, but Fu Li could still hear it clearly.  He didn't respond, but just lowered his hood to cover the darkness in his eyes, and whipped his horse away.

    On the empty and narrow palace road, the two young men, one civil and one military, ran in opposite directions, as if they had never met before.

    A thunderbolt struck, and in the secret room of the Marquis of Pingjin, Xue Changqing stood with his hands behind his back. His tall mountain figure was hidden in the darkness, feeling extremely oppressive, and said, "I wanted to kill Jiang Yan and take away the joint book in her hand."  , but who would have met that kid Fu Lisince he has already startled the snake, don't make any moves recently, go back to Yeyun Villa and wait for orders."

    "Yes!" The burly assassin in black pulled down his scarf, revealing a ferocious and resolute red-purple face. After thinking for a while, he lowered his head and said, "Master, you give something as important as the account book to Cheng Wen."  , is it appropriate?"

    "Heh." Xue Changqing turned around, his face was as sinister as a snake, and his words were poisonous, oozing with a chill, "Do you think I'm really stupid enough to hand over the account books to him?"

    Hearing Xue Changqing's rhetorical question, the black-clothed assassin was confused, and raised his head and said, "Then what you gave him is"

    "Of course it's a fake." Xue Changqing snorted heavily, "It's to help me get out of my shell."

    "Subordinates understand!" The man in black suddenly said, "No wonder you asked Zhang Jinhe to secretly contact King Yun. Presumably, if Jin Yiwei finds out about Cheng Wen, but only finds out a fake account book, you can join hands with King Yun to fight against him."  Jin Yiwei framed the courtiers."

    "Zhu Wenyu has no brains. The concubine next to him is a ruthless person, and she proposed to cooperate with this Marquis under such circumstances." Xue Changqing twitched the corners of his mouth, "It is really helpless to join forces with Prince Yun. Who told us  The prince and empress who have been supported by one hand are disobedient! If you want to hide everything, don't even think about it!"

    "Where did you hide the real ledger?" the man in black asked, "Do you want your subordinates to send more people to look after it?"

    "No need." Xue Changqing turned around and sat behind the table in the secret room, cut off the candle wick with golden dragon scissors, and sneered, "This Marquis will hide it in an absolutely safe place."

    Just as he was speaking, the door of the secret room clicked, and the door of the secret room was opened from the outside.  Then, Xue Wanqing cautiously walked in with Ling Luo on her arm, and asked, "Father, what do you want from me?"

    "Wanqing, come here." Xue Changqing withdrew the poisonous coldness in his eyes, put on a fatherly smile, and waved to Xue Wanqing.  When she came to sit down, Xue Changqing took out a dowry box from the hidden compartment under the case, and gently placed it in front of Xue Wanqing.

    "What is this? Is it for me?" Xue Wanqing asked.

    Seeing her reaching out to open the box, Xue Changqing hurriedly pressed her hand, shook his head lightly and said, "This is the dowry my father prepared for you, and you can only open it on the day you get married."

    On the night of August 15th, the weather cleared and the moon and stars were sparse.

    In his first year as an official, Jiang Yan also received theDao, the blue official robes and the vermilion palace walls set off, like a knight walking in the desert under the setting sun.

    At the same time, Xue Changqing, who was also changing court clothes in Xue's residence, looked down and asked, "What did you say?"

    The burly man in black clasped his fists and knelt down, saying in a trembling voice, "Master Hou, something happened to Zhang Jinhe."

    In the wide sleeves of the imperial uniform, Xue Changqing's five fingers clenched into fists, and he chewed his cheeks several times. Fang Yin gave the last order: "Escort the county magistrate out of the city immediately! In addition, at all costs, kill Cheng Wen! We must not let  He lived to catch up with today's court meeting!"

    "Yes!" The man in black took the order and quickly disappeared into the room

    ? August 16, the last day of the joint letter, is destined to be an unusual day.

    Excluding some low-level officials, almost all officials above the seventh rank were present¡ªincluding Xue Changqing and Xue Rui, father and son who came to wait for the verdict.

    The prince and queen have arrived, Zhu Wenli is sitting next to the dragon chair, and the queen is behind the curtain.  Korean, Chinese and military officials consciously lined up on both sides, with solemn expressions, so quiet that you could hear needles dropping, they were all waiting for the final verdict.  Jiang Yan presented the joint letter with both hands, and the eunuch with the handprint of the supervisor of ceremonies read out the list of joint letters:

    There are 302 officials of the North Korean Communist Party, big and small, and a total of 153 people signed the joint letter. As a rule, as long as more than half of the officials of the North Korean Communist Party¡ªthat is, more than 151 people, this regulation counts  pass.

    The moment the eunuch announced the number of people, the prince Zhu Wenli and Jiang Yan both heaved a sigh of relief, while Xue Changqing and Yun Wang Zhu Wenyu looked gloomy, wondering what they were thinking.  On the other hand, Xue Rui saw that his situation was over, his legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground, his forehead covered in cold sweat

    Zhu Wenli took a deep breath and announced: "You all have heard the notarization just now. If so, I declare"

    "Your Highness." The palm print eunuch turned around holding the unfolded silk paper, and interrupted Zhu Wenli with a smile, "Although there are 153 lives in the joint letter, two of them are unqualified and should be removed.  "

    Hearing this, there were mixed discussions in the court.  While whispering, Zhu Wenli signaled for silence, tried his best to stabilize the situation in the court, and asked, "Admiral Li, which two are unqualified?"

    "One is the son of the Minister of Rituals, Xie Jin. Mr. Xie is only from a family background and has no official title, so his signature is not counted; and the second one" The palm print eunuch wrinkled his face with a smile, and bowed to Zhu Wenli  He apologized, "The second is you, Your Highness."

    "Me?" Zhu Wenli frowned.

    The palm print eunuch explained: "You are the one who proposed the draft. For the sake of fairness, you cannot participate in the voting."

    Zhu Wenli looked at Fu Ke in the front row, seeking the opinion of Lord Chief Assistant.

    Fu Ke pondered for a moment, then Fang held the ivory wat and went out: "Your Highness, it is indeed so according to the etiquette."

    With a twist, the number of joint sponsors dropped to 151, which happened to be half of the officials of the DPRK and China, neither more nor less.

    If it cannot exceed half, the proposal will be invalid.  During the turn of the peak, Jiang Yan's heart sank, and her eyes subconsciously swept across the officials, but those officials who did not sign their names just bowed their heads in silence, and no one dared to stand up.

    A sneer appeared on Xue Changqing's gloomy face, and he went out and clapped his hands, "Today is the last day, since the number of co-signers has not reached the standard, it is still open to discussion. But please rest assured, His Royal Highness, if the dog is really wrong, the old minister will decide."  Take your unfilial son to the gate of the Ruan Mansion to make amends for Ruan Shangshu and the Ruan family girl"

    "Who said that the number of co-signers is not enough?" Suddenly a cold voice came, and it was transmitted to everyone's ears very clearly.  Everyone followed the prestige, only to see Fu Li in a flying fish suit coming towards Zhu Wenli, holding his fists against the light, and said, "Your Highness, it's not yet time, and there is still one person who wants to sign!"

    The sun was rising in the east, and the golden light was shining. On the stone steps outside the hall, there were light and steady footsteps.  In the golden curtain of light, a young figure slowly appeared in everyone's field of vision, a sixth-rank civil official robe embroidered with egrets in blue, a black gauze hat, and a dark red sleeve robe

    After he stepped out of the blazing light and shadow and entered the hall, people realized that the dark red on his sleeve robe was blood¡ªfresh blood gurgling from the wound on his arm, falling drop by drop on the floor tiles of the hall, like  The red plum blossoms are bright and bleak.

    Holding a dowry box in his hand, he stepped through mountains of knives and flames, dodged open guns and hidden arrows, and caught up with today's court meeting alive under the eyes of everyone, whether stunned or suspicious.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
