The emperor said "seeking death" without shouting.
The Taiqian Hall was very large, so except for the civil and military officials, no other ministers heard it.
However, the emperor soon calmed down and thought about whether Wu Yong did this.
Those who can be the emperor, no, even if they are not the emperor, let's talk about these courtiers, there are a few fools who can stand here.
Everyone knows that Honglu Temple is responsible for the affairs of the Fan people, and the only person in the Honglu Temple who negotiates with the Fan people is Shaoqing Wu Yong.
If it was really Wu Yong who did it, and he went directly to someone else to do it, wouldn't that lead to suspicion on himself?
But it was precisely because Wu Yong was on good terms with Fan that everyone's first reaction was to doubt him, including the emperor.
In fact, Han You wanted this effect, and the effect was very good.
The emperor's eyes were scrutinizing Wu Yong's body, and before he could figure out the reason, a third-grade official left his shift.
Zhou Zhenghuai, Minister of Industry, pointed at Wu Yong and snorted heavily.
"Who doesn't know that all the merchants in the Western City are under the control of Honglu Temple? Who doesn't know that the merchants in Honglu Temple are all obedient to you, young minister..."
"Sir," Wu Yong said anxiously: "Xiaguan is wronged. It is true that Xianguan is subordinate to Fanshang, but this matter definitely has nothing to do with me."
After finishing speaking, the birdman had a very innocent expression on his face, but he was extremely confused in his heart.
I didn’t offend the Minister of Industry, so why did Lao Deng suddenly jump out?
He was offended, but he just didn't know it.
Liu Wenguan had already recruited him. Without Wu Yong, the young minister of Honglu Temple, the Liu family would not have dared to be so rampant.
Han You was also weak. He knew that the "point" of Zhou Zhenghuai's anger was the humiliation of his military relatives, so he specially sent a copy of the confession to the Ministry of Industry for Zhou Zhenghuai to see. If he could attract hatred, he would not lose anything. Next Hitting Zhou Yan on a rainy day means he is idle.
"There must be a reason for everything to come out of nowhere."
Zhou Zhenghuai sneered again and again: "I heard about this in the government office last night, so I ordered my officials to go to Jingzhao Mansion to inquire. After questioning, I found out that one of the two corpses of the Ban people was the person who set the fire. When it comes to people, you, Honglu Temple, did not take the initiative to conduct a thorough investigation, but instead went to the court to complain, or is it, as the public speculates, that it was Wu Yong, the young minister of Honglu Temple, who was the instigator?"
Zhou Zhenghuai is also an old minister after all. He has been fighting in the court for most of his life. It's disgusting. It's... quite disgusting.
What does it mean to be an old minister? It means he doesn’t have too many worries, at least less than ordinary people.
"Wu Shaoqing, I want to ask you why there are so many speculations in the public. It is because you are tit for tat with Mr. Han, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, in the court. It is because you have threatened Mr. Han. Many people know it. You are eager to kill him. Mr. Han is on the verge of death. Your Majesty has handed over the tax inspection to Jingzhao Mansion. If anyone doesn’t want to see Jingzhao Mansion handle this job well, then it’s you, Wu Yong, Wu Shaoqing, the young minister of Honglu Temple!”
"Sir, don't talk nonsense. This official has nothing to do with this matter. It's just an official dispute with Lord Yin Han of Jingzhao Mansion."
Wu Yong's face was uncertain, and he suddenly thought of what the butler said. Then he realized a possibility and why Zhou Zhenghuai was targeting him.
He finally figured it out!
Liu Wenguan offended Zhou Zhenghuai, so he was stripped of his official robe and impeached the next day.
As for Liu Wenguan, he must have confided to others that his backer was himself, the young minister of Honglu Temple, and Zhou Zheng had a deep hatred, so he targeted him.
Although the Ministry of Works was the strongest among the six ministers, and Zhou Zhenghuai was the weakest among the ministers, they were still popular. After all, if someone's mansion leaked or caught fire, the Ministry of Works would have to send people to repair it, but no one came out to refute or repair it for a while. It was to speak for Wu Yong.
For a moment, many people looked at Wu Yong with strange eyes, but they didn't care too much.
You and I in this world are all melon-eating people. No one cares how many bowls of noodles Liu Zi has eaten. Everyone just wants to see the excitement.
After all, he was the minister. Under Zhou Zhenghuai's close gaze, Wu Yong was really caught off guard.
At this moment, someone walked out of the Ministry of War.
"Master Zhou, can you allow me to have a word?"
The man who walked out was Huang Youwei, the second in command of the Ministry of War.
After giving a salute to Zhou Zhenghuai, Huang Youwei said: "Speaking of which, my Huang family also has several shops in Beijing. This tax audit has caused a lot of fuss. The accounts were burnt yesterday, and I also paid close attention to it. The official believes that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Wu Shaoqing."
Zhou Zhenghuai snorted: "Who else could it be besides him?"
"Sir, as you said, everyone in Beijing knows that the Fan people are under the jurisdiction of Honglu Temple, and Wu Shaoqing is proficient in Fan language, knows Fan behavior, and knows Fan language. If it was really what Wu Shaoqing did, why did he ask the Fan people to go there? Burn, this time people are burned, isn't everyone in the world suspicious of Wu Shaoqing's actions? I think Wu Shaoqing is not an idiot, how could he shoot himself in the foot and deliberately make people doubt him?"
After the words fell, many people nodded secretly, and even Zhou Zhenghuai was unable to refute for a while.
Wu Yong looked at Huang Youwei as if he were seeing his biological father alive, and he was so excited.
Yes, yes, that's the truth. There is something wrong with me. If I can't find someone to look for, isn't this bringing trouble to myself?
The analysis makes sense. In fact, other people have also thought of it, but apart from Wu Yong, there are no other suspects to suspect.
"His Majesty."
Huang Youwei turned around: "I think this matter has nothing to do with Wu Shaoqing. The rumors in the market are just nonsense from people who want to do good things. Mr. Wu, a dignified young minister, how could he be so bold and brazen against the disapproval of the world?"
The emperor nodded slightly, but did not express his position.
Wu Yong also saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, I hope you will get justice for me. I don't know anything about this."
"Why."
Unexpectedly, before the emperor could speak, Huang Youwei suddenly sighed and turned to look at Wu Yong, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"I'm afraid Mr. Wu will be disappointed. This matter will definitely become an unsolved case."
Wu Yong was stunned: "Why?"
"My lords naturally know that this matter has nothing to do with you, but there must be rumors. Even if the case is investigated, it will be thoroughly investigated by the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Jingzhao Mansion. In order to avoid suspicion, you Honglu Temple should not be able to get involved."
Wu Yong nodded repeatedly: "Honglu Temple will never participate. I only want justice for me."
"This is the reason why I said it will become an unsolved case. I am proficient in Fan language and have good relations with Fan Shang. There is only one government office in Honglu Temple, and Honglu Temple is not involved. The other government offices, not to mention investigating the case, don't even speak the language. It doesn’t make sense. Apart from that, we can’t conduct a thorough investigation or a deep investigation. Fanshang, Fanren, and Fanguan represent the diplomatic relations between neighboring countries. If they collide with each other, it will humiliate the face of our great Zhou Dynasty. This is a trivial matter to pursue the murderer. If it affects In order to maintain a good diplomatic relationship, isn't it just a small gain at the expense of a big one?"
After a pause, Huang Youwei sighed again: "So, I think this case will become an unresolved case, and I definitely can't give Wu Shaoqing a clean slate."
Wu Yong subconsciously said: "Then I, Honglu Temple, can assist the various government agencies in investigating the case and tracking down the culprit."
"It's inappropriate. If Honglu Temple is involved, people will definitely say that Wu Shaoqing was the one who got in the way."
"It's not this, it's not that, isn't it me..."
Halfway through, Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed: "Huang Youwei, you..."
"So that's it!" Zhou Zhenghuai suddenly shouted: "No wonder you dare to use Fan Ren. It turns out that you had this idea. You had expected that the case would become an unsolved case, so you dared to order Fan Ren to set fire to you. You, Honglu Temple, were involved. If they do, they will secretly obstruct it and not participate, and no one is proficient in the language, and the ministries and offices dare not really do anything to the people, and it will eventually become an unsolved case, and you, Wu Yong, will be at large."
Wu Yong was dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded, because he felt a gaze coming from the emperor.
Turning his head suddenly, Wu Yong knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, I was wronged."
After shouting this, he suddenly discovered something. Huang Youwei, the left minister of the Ministry of War, who had just "helped" him to speak, unexpectedly returned to the class without knowing when. He looked at his nose, his nose and his mouth, and his mouth was concerned. Like a normal person.
