Ye Yongjia returned to the Ministry of War tremblingly, and was about to take off his official robe when Cai Xianqing stepped forward and asked, "How are you doing?"
Ye Yongjia glanced at him and sighed: "Guoxiang people used the Taoist priest's note to talk things over and sternly asked to supervise our handling of the case. The emperor asked me to make a decision, but I did not refuse out of caution."
Cai Xianqing gradually smiled: "That's good. Now he has fallen into a trap!"
Ye Yongjia asked anxiously why, and Xianqing replied: "Before going to court, I deliberately kept a close eye on him and asked my confidants to spy on Chen Tongpao's actions. He was really capable. He broke into the house and saw Chen Tongpao's bribery with his own eyes. Then Master Chang, I want to invite him to his house for a secret discussion!"
Ye Yongjia was shocked: "He is a cultivator, how could he do this?"
"How can that guy be a real person? I think he has already made friends with Chen Tongpao, so he took the opportunity to enter the palace!" Cai Xianqing said disdainfully, "The talk about seeking inner demons and the words in dreams are all lies. Come and deal with us."
"If this person is left unfettered and helps the Chen party secretly, there will be endless troubles," Ye Yongjia paced, "We must get rid of him. I just don't know when to do it?"
Cai Xianqing analyzed for him: "Chen Tongpao has always been cunning and scheming. If he waits for the Taoist priest to enter Chen's house before arresting him, it will give them time to react, and they may not know what will go wrong. It is better to strike first. .”
"That's right," Ye Yongjia nodded slowly, "Immediately send an order to Cui Yi to mobilize the officers of the Ministry of Punishment, arrest Chang Zhenren when he leaves the palace, and then report it!"
"Untie his shackles."
A man from Guoxiang was sitting in a small room, drinking tea and looking at the prisoner in front of him. The shackles fell off with a clanging sound.
"Look up."
The prisoner raised his head hesitantly, bowed and said, "Sinner Lan Yuan."
"Come on, Mr. Lan, please sit down," Xiangren smiled, "Don't be so nervous."
Lan Yuan looked around alertly and whispered: "Lianghou, this is the Ministry of Justice. The Ye Party has eyes and ears all over the place... They are very good at eavesdropping."
The Xiang people laughed loudly: "Lan Shidu, you really suited the situation when you said this at this time! Don't worry, there are my people patrolling outside the house."
"Oh," Lan Yuan replied, but then he remembered something and asked quickly: "You came to see me with such a big fanfare, aren't you afraid of being caught by the Liu Party?"
Xiangren said: "I am here on your Majesty's order to investigate your grievances."
"What?" Lan Yuan looked in disbelief, "My grievances?"
Xiangren glanced coldly: "Is it possible that you feel that you are not unjust?"
"No way, I'm definitely wronged," Lan Yuan's joy was beyond words, "May I ask how you can save me?"
"Chen Libu has told me the plan, but it requires Lan Shidu's cooperation."
After hearing this, Lan Yuan suddenly felt a little worried, and then he laughed ferociously: "I feel like these words are familiar to me. At that time, the Ye Party also used this trick to deceive me and Cun Zhao into confessing."
"You don't believe Mr. Chen?" asked the Hunanese.
"I know him very well," Lan Yuan kept rolling his eyes. "Anyone's life can be sacrificed by him. What if he wants Cun Zhao to live? I think only one of us can get out."
"Brother Lan is still shrewd," Xiang Ren said, "Yes, the case is very complicated and some sacrifices must be made. But now the prince needs you more." He told the story of Chang Zhenren's entry into the palace from the beginning, and Lan Yuan was convinced and happy Listen to the order: "Tell me, what should I do?"
"You have to take this thing first." Xiangren said, and actually took out a yellow paper bag containing traditional Chinese medicine from his arms and put it on the table.
Lan Yuan walked closer and looked at the mysterious appearance of the Xiang people. He felt puzzled and untied the rope. As soon as the paper package was scattered, a gold medal with a tiger's head engraved on it suddenly appeared, shining brightly. Hui, almost twinkling in his eyes.
"Tiger...Tiger brand? Is it used for troop deployment?" Lan Yuan was startled into a cold sweat and his face turned pale.
Xiangren's tone was resolute: "Yes."
"Are you crazy?" Even though no one was listening, Lan Yuan lowered his voice involuntarily, "How did you get it? Steal it?"
"We have placed a few people in the Forbidden Army," Xiangren poured tea slowly, "Isn't it easy to get a tiger head card while on duty?"
Lan Yuan swallowed several times and held up the Tiger Tag with trembling hands: "Now that things have happened, I can only follow you to the end."
The Xiang man held his arm and said earnestly: "Remember, Chang Zhenren will definitely come here later. If you see him, you must pretend to have a grudge against him, and then tell him about Tiger Brand." Lead on the body."
"No need to explain more, I understand your thinking." Lan Yuan put the tiger tag into his waist pocket and covered it slightly with the corner of his clothes, "What I am most concerned about now is whether I can be reinstated after I am released from prison. Job?"
"Master Chen said, I guarantee it. If he throws it out, he will always take it back. He has never failed."
Lan Yuan's eyes suddenly became vicious: "Then I'll trouble you all: record all the ministers who made trouble for me before and after the incident and wrote letters of impeachment, and let me take revenge one by one."
The corner of Xiang Ren's mouth couldn't help but raise: "It seems that Lan Shidu's personality is similar to mine! Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Cui Yi moved extremely quickly. It only took him a moment to know the direction of Chang Zhenren's location. He personally led his officers to chase him and captured him in front of the palace gate.
Chang Zhenren was at a loss. When he was taken to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, he was still confused. Without saying a word for a long time, he broke free from the ropes and confessed his innocence. Cui Yi was furious and ordered people to beat him more than ten times. Chang Zhenren Only then did I understand a little bit, but I just said that I didn't know magic, fooled the emperor, etc., and didn't talk about other things. Cui Yi was impatient and was afraid of beating him to death, so he had no choice but to force him to show his fingerprints and put him in jail.
"It has been found out that the demon Chang You falsely claimed to have the ability to suppress nightmares. He secretly colluded with Lan Yuan and Cun Zhao to avenge their injustice. He was also seen conspiring with Chen Tongpao. The evidence is very solid..."
"Okay, okay, stop reading," Ye Yongjia sat in the second hall and waved his hand towards Cui Yi, who was holding the case file, "Put this document into my memorial."
"Yes." Cui Yi bowed deeply, then called many officers to retreat together.
Seeing that there was only one Hunan man left to supervise, Ye Yongjia turned around and said, "Lianghou, you have a close relationship with Mr. Chen. If this happens, you have to consider your options."
The Xiang people sneered and said: "Personal relations are personal relations, official matters are official matters. I am not anyone's party member."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Find him and get to the bottom of it." The Xiang people responded, "But since Chang Zhenren has conspired with Lan Yuan, he must have known them a long time ago. Why not call them all in front of us and interrogate them one by one. What do you think?"
