A concubine who was violently kicked out of the Yang Mansion by Jin Yiwei was originally in a state of confusion. When she saw a group of strangers standing outside the door, she was even more confused. She glanced around and suddenly recognized her husband in the crowd. It was as if he had found a life-saving straw.
"His Royal Highness is here, please don't make any noise!"
There is a woman who dares to behave in front of the prince, so what? Yang Jinchao hurriedly shouted, if the other party continued to make trouble unreasonably, he would have to send someone over to block his mouth.
"Tsk~! Your Highness is here in person, please don't make a sound!"
Yang Shicong waved his sleeves with great dissatisfaction, signaling his little wife not to cause trouble to him at this time, which would offend the prince. Not only would the whole family not have a good life, but they would not even be able to breathe in the future.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the feudal lords who were rummaging through boxes and cabinets inside made a discovery. They carried out six boxes one after another.
"Yang Kaifeng, please explain to me!"
The feudal lords opened the upper cover, and white light came out. The contents inside shone under the sunlight, which was eye-catching and difficult to see directly. No one needed to explain, everyone knew exactly what the box contained.
There are at least four to five thousand taels of silver in front of him. Calculated according to Yang Shicong's annual salary, he would have to serve the court for twenty years without eating or drinking to earn so much money. But now, these things are obviously not what he can accumulate. down.
"...Your Highness, this is what Chen Biqian temporarily placed in my residence. I was negligent before and was just about to report this matter to Your Highness!"
At this point, if we want to find a way to survive, we can only cut off our arms and bear the pain. It was extremely difficult for Yang Shicong to give up so much money, but he had to do it. If he couldn't cut off the relationship immediately, he would be guilty.
Now that Chen Biqian has been convicted by the prince, leading his people to rescue him can be regarded as fulfilling his duty as a colleague of Donglin. There is no need to continue to protect him at this time. It was absolutely impossible that Chen Biqian couldn't save him, but he even got himself involved.
"Hmph, you are really smart!"
This guy can actually rack his brains to use Chen Biqian as a scapegoat and deduct a bowl of Rexiang to his colleagues. It seems that he still wants to refuse to admit it.
However, since I want to mess with you, if I take action, I will definitely kill you, no matter how hard you try to survive!
"Your Highness is aware of everything, and a foolish minister dare not hide anything!"
Yang Shicong didn't know whether this excuse could get away with it. As long as the prince didn't have real evidence, especially some important letters, he wouldn't be able to get the Metropolitan Procuratorate to convict him, and he could escape death.
"In that case, please come and ask Yang Jiabao to write down the time when Chen Biqian sent the money!"
If you want to use this trick to win over Meng Bengong, then give it a try!
Seeing that you are so "loyal", I will send you to Shandong to mine in two days, so count you among them!
"..."
When Yang Shicong heard the prince's arrangement, his head suddenly swelled. What should he do?
As long as you write down the evidence in front of everyone, this is irrefutable evidence.
The prince will definitely send someone to confront Chen Biqian. If it is known that this is not the case, it will be a serious crime to deceive the emperor.
"Yang Kaifeng? Don't waste time, everyone is waiting here! Didn't you forget?"
Seeing that he was in a hurry and still thinking of ways, Yaoji deliberately teased him.
"Your Highness, it is clear that I have forgotten this matter!"
Upon seeing this, Yang Shicong hurriedly got off the slope to avoid missing this excellent opportunity.
"Who sent it?"
"..."
"What's the amount?"
"..."
"Yang Kaifeng, you don't know the time, the amount, and who the other party is? I'm afraid your excuse will be difficult to establish?"
You smart bitch, if you can't answer today, you are cheating. Even if this happened, he knew it and failed to report it, which is the same crime as Chen Biqian.
Yang Shicong knew that his excuse was about to be exposed by the prince, so he simply refused to do anything and directly blamed his wife: "Your Highness, this thing was collected by a lowly wife, and I didn't know it beforehand!"
Bringing in another person to muddy the waters and turn it into a triangular relationship that cannot be checked for a while, maybe you can get away with it.
Hearing the even worse excuse, Yao Ji couldn't help but smile and praise: "Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, but disaster strikes above our heads! Yang Jiaifang, you can really sacrifice your own family at a critical moment!"
It's no wonder that this guy can become "loyal, loyal and courageous". With such a character, duplicity is the norm. It would be strange if he is upright. Only by treating his wife as a sacrifice can he "turn his fortune into good luck".
"Bring Yang to inspect his wife and come to confront him!"
Today, I am also going to do a blackmail. It is really interesting to decide the case in public.
The Dongchang vassal immediately sent him.
"Are you Yang Shicong's first wife?"
"...Your Highness, this is the slave family!"
"Yang Kaifeng said that you secretly accepted the money sent by Chen Biqian. Is this true?"
"Your Highness, the entire Yang family is headed by the husband of the slave family. Without the approval of the husband of the slave family, the slave family would never dare to accept other people's things privately. Not to mention thousands of taels of cash, even if they accept silk and satin gifts worth dozens of taels, Report the truth to your husband on the same day. What’s more, the slave family has never had any contact with Chen Biqian, so why should they accept money from him? The slave family guarantees with their lives that there is no such thing. It is clearly framed by the slave husband to frame the slave family. I hope Your Highness will investigate clearly!"
"Yang Kaifeng, what's your explanation for this?"
"Your Highness, this thing has been collected by a lowly concubine, and now it is raked up, it is clearly an injustice to the subject!"
Yang Shicong knew that the situation had become extremely dangerous, and if he said the wrong thing, he would be killed, so he was determined to persevere to the end, and insisted that his wife would not let go. Only in this way can he risk his life and survive.
Hearing the "basin of foot-washing water" thrown in by her husband, the eldest wife immediately became furious and cursed angrily: "You... Yang! Shi! Cong! We, husband and wife, although we usually have some quarrels, we don't Serious problem. You have had several concubines and I have endured it. Now how dare you do this to me? Is this repayment of kindness with hatred? You are such a wolf-hearted person. You have collected so much money for many years as an official. How can you have the face to frame me for your highness? ? Today you and I have severed all ties, and there is no more love between husband and wife!"
Yao Ji and everyone else were shocked when they saw this, but everyone liked to watch the couple quarreling. It was so interesting to reveal the old story. Even Jin Yiwei couldn't spy on this kind of thing. It would be better to pick up a kitchen knife and chop each other, that would be lively!
Yang Shicong was not angry either. He licked his face and accused: "Your Highness! This bitch is talking nonsense in public. He is already crazy. He is clearly trying to frame me. Your Highness must not believe his words!"
Yaoji will not take the initiative to steal the show at this moment. Now is the time for the two of you to perform. Whether it is a language program or an action game, you can perform it. In short, as long as you don't kill anyone and silence them.
Being said to be a crazy woman, the eldest wife became even more angry, and directly called out "Wang Zha": "Yang Shicong! Don't be proud! You have recorded all your scandals in a small book! If you think that His Highness doesn't know the inside story, you can frame him. Mom? You even scratched the notebook last night, haven’t you burned the notebook yet? Hahahaha..."
While Yang Shicong was so frightened that he shuddered, her words reminded some of the chief ministers present that when she returned home, she must first burn the small book that recorded some ulterior things. This is the most important physical evidence. Once it is obtained by factory guards, the family, old and young, will be in catastrophe.
Yao Ji took a pamphlet presented by Yang Jinchao, read it through it, and asked the shrew with interest: "Is this what you are talking about?"
"Your Highness, this is exactly it!"
"Yang Kaifeng, can you recognize this object?"
"..."
"When you enter the court, circulate it to the chief minister, the Minister of Punishment, and the censor of Zuodu. Please open your eyes!"
Xue Guoguan was the first to get it. After browsing a few pages, he knew that Yang Shicong was dead even if he tried to quibble in every possible way.
Zhen Shu, the Minister of Punishment, and Zhong Qi, the Censor of Zuodu, came to the same conclusion. With this thing, there is no need for a review.
After seizing such irrefutable evidence, the Metropolitan Procuratorate would have less trouble. As long as the prince opened his mouth to convict him, the Ministry of Punishment could directly "feed grass" to Yang Shicong.
Yao Ji looked at Yang Shicong who was speechless and slowly stated several crimes committed by this guy: "First he was audacious and took huge bribes, and then he deceived the king and framed his wife! Yang Jiaqing, this is yours Is it the way to be an official?"
Now the "loyal and courageous" desire to serve as the "Master of the Qing Dynasty" may come to naught. I wonder if Huang Taiji or Dorgon will feel that I have lost a pillar of the Qing Dynasty after learning about this. Where is the talent?
Yang Shicong's heart went cold when the other party obtained such important physical evidence, but he still wanted to live. He knelt down and cried and begged: "I am guilty, I deserve to die, I was confused for a moment, and I regret it endlessly. I hope Your Highness will be merciful~!" "
No matter how thick-skinned, life is not worth anything. As long as he can escape this disaster, even if he works for the prince in the future, Yang Shicong will rush to agree, because it is better to die than to live!
More importantly, as long as you are convicted, it will definitely not be a good death, and the place of death will be uncomfortable and ugly!
Peeling the real grass, just listening to it made his scalp numb and shudder!
"Why did Yang review come to this? Wasn't he just right?" Yaoji mocked this guy and at the same time taught a lesson to the supervisors who were kept in the dark: "This is a corrupt official leading a group of supervisors to find The strange story of my petition to another corrupt official is really a joke from time immemorial! When you enter the court, ask someone to show this booklet to the supervisors, but they are not allowed to touch it!"
When the supervisors saw the contents, they were immediately in an uproar. They did not expect that Yang Kaifeng, whom they regarded as their idol and role model, would behave so unsightly in private, no different from a rat, and that was worth thousands of taels of silver.
The sophistry made by Yang Kaifa just now was seen by everyone, and thinking about it made the supervisors even more angry, because everyone had been kneeling with Yang Kaifa from the morning until the afternoon, and now the truth has come out, and they were actually taken advantage of by Yang Kaifa.
