Chapter 1,189: Drop the Curtain and Turn the Tables
There were still people gathering outside the imperial city, and they even paid gangsters to find out what was going on in the academy. Whenever the academy students were out, they would report it quickly.
Shen An left the palace, why didn't the officials give an explanation?
A group of people gathered in the middle, and one of the older ones said, "The officials are protecting him."
Several men on the side sneered: "The late emperor also wanted to protect Fan Zhongyan, but what was the result?"
"Fan Zhongyan's corpse is cold and his bones will be stinking for eternity!"
The older man nodded, lowered his head slightly and said, "Memories... Do you know what those previous memorials said?"
Everyone shook their heads, and the right corner of the man's mouth curled up, "They are all asking for Shen An to be severely punished. Someone said in the memorial that the officials were stupid and asked...the Queen Mother to lower the curtain!"
Boom!
Everyone seemed to hear a thunderbolt from the blue, and couldn't help but change their colors.
"What are you afraid of?" The man said disdainfully: "The official family is sick, and he went crazy before, so... eh? Do you understand?"
"That's it!"
"The ministers and ministers will see these memorials. When the news reaches the harem, will the Queen Mother not be moved?"
"There is no one who doesn't like rights, regardless of men or women."
"This matter is not about listening to politics behind the curtain." The man pressed his hands, "The key to this matter is to let the officials know. Shen An... must be punished severely! Whenever the Queen Mother gets this news, she will definitely persuade the officials about this matter. If that doesn’t work, I’ll dig out these eyes.”
Everyone couldn't help but rejoice, and one of them said: "It is indeed a good method. The officials know that our goal is not him, so he will know how to choose, good! Hahahaha!"
The emperor is sacred and inviolable in the eyes of the people, but in the eyes of these people, the emperor is just a mortal, just like everyone else. This is true even when the emperor sits on a throne studded with precious gems.
The emperor is just their spokesperson!
This is the truth.
But now this emperor has abandoned them and stood on their opposite side.
They are not afraid of this and feel that they have many ways to save the situation.
The man whispered: "Just wait and see, I think the officials will make a decision today."
"Then let me book a restaurant first?" A young man looked very excited.
"go Go."
The man smiled and looked very comfortable.
"Someone's out."
There are political offices and other yamen in the imperial city, but it is not surprising to ordinary people.
"It's Chen Zhongheng..."
The words came.
The man raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Everyone be quiet. Remember, you will be more respectful later... This is to save face for the officials, do you understand?"
"rest assured."
Chen Zhongheng's eyes were firm. After seeing this group of people, he sneered and strode over.
"I've met Chen Douzhi."
"But do the officials have anything to say?" The man smiled very respectfully and impeccably.
Chen Zhongheng nodded, and the vendors and diners put down what they were holding and hurried over.
Chen Zhongheng and others were almost gathered together. Thinking of their good friend's comeback, they couldn't help but secretly admire them.
"The Daming Mansion case... Some people say that Shen An deserves to be killed, and some people plead grievances for those people..."
The crowd was mostly smiling.
"After investigation, Liu Xian and others embezzled 100,000 yuan of money and food, causing 352 victims to die of cold and starvation."
The group of people changed their colors slightly and looked at the man.
The man's name was Wei Zheng. He whispered: "Don't worry about this."
This does not absolve Shen An of his guilt.
There was a slight smile on his lips, and he whispered: "He...can't run away!"
"After investigation, Liu Xian and others colluded with the commander-in-chief Chen Wei..."
Wei Zheng felt dizzy. He covered his forehead and swayed.
"...Civil and military collusion, plotting evil..."
Once the civil and military forces collude in corruption and are labeled as having evil intentions, no one can refute it.
The matter is settled...
Those people all looked at Wei Zheng.
This is their leader and the most experienced one. His judgment has never been wrong... He also said before that if Shen An escaped the blame, he would gouge out his own eyes.
Wei Zheng blinked and then stepped back in confusion.
Everyone quickly moved out of the way and watched him stagger back, and finally fell heavily to the ground.
Chen Zhongheng glanced at Wei Zheng and finally said: "It's shameless to force officials for this kind of people!"
In an instant, everyone felt hot all over and didn't want to stay any longer.
"He actually made a comeback?"
Many people thought that Shen An was going to be in bad luck this time, but after entering the palace once, he overturned the matter.
Civil and military collusion, who dares to complain about those people?
no one!
So they turned pale and hurriedly turned away.
This matter became a big deal. They squatted outside the imperial city for Liu Xian and others, thinking that they could pull Shen An down. Who knew that he slapped her with a backhand, causing pain in the face.
…
Wang Shen has come of age.
As a descendant of a powerful man, he was rarely reserved, and a hint of gloominess appeared in his eyes.
The private rooms in the restaurant are full of descendants of powerful people. These Yamen are not short of money, and their ancestors have accumulated many merits, so they live a very good life.
The wine was good wine, and after drinking it heartily, a young man pointed at Wang Shen's brother Wang Jian and said: "Last time, Shen An bullied the widow with the crowd, which made you two brothers suffer a big loss. Now that he is back, the Wang family how to do?"
When it comes to the Wang family, this is using the family as a unit.
Wang Jian smiled and said: "What happened in the past is in the past. The Wang family has nothing to say to Shen An. We don't offend each other...that's all. It's just..."
He glanced at Wang Shen. Wang Shen was the legitimate son and grandson of the Wang family, but he was far away, so he couldn't say some things on behalf of the Wang family.
Wang Shen raised his glass and took a sip, "Thirty people were killed at one time. How has such a tragic thing happened in the Song Dynasty? If this matter is ignored, what will happen next? Will we kill fifty people...one hundred people next time?"
This is the thing that everyone is most afraid of. These yamen have been dissatisfied with Shen An for a long time after hearing what their elders said at home.
"He's back." Wang Shen smiled and played with the empty wine glass in a gentle manner. "Now everyone in Bianliang City wants to kill him, but the officials have not dealt with him. What does this mean?"
"You can't bear to do it." A yamen sneered: "Shen An has made many meritorious deeds and has great military exploits. Officials are also merciful and soft-hearted."
Wang Jian smiled and said: "Being kind and soft-hearted is temporary. How many people's memorials have entered the palace before? How many people are waiting outside the imperial city to see the officials now? What do these mean? Aren't they asking for Shen An to be severely punished?"
He glanced at Wang Shen again and received an approving look.
"Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has never been a cruel person like Shen An. If he can be safe and sound, we will never have peace again." Wang Shen said loudly: "I dare to say that the thief will not escape this time. Disaster!"
After saying that, he threw out the wine glass.
Boom!
The wine glass shattered on the ground, and everyone couldn't help but cheer loudly.
A yamen who was friends with Wang Shen drank too much and stood up and said, "Qing Jin, he humiliated you twice back then. He will definitely be sent away this time. How are you going to humiliate him?"
Wang Jian sneered and said: "A man should be happy with his grudges while he is alive, but my family should put him in a dilemma of life and death!"
Wang Shen smiled, and the gloom between his brows disappeared, "I heard that the road to distribution is difficult... I have many relatives and friends waiting for me, and I think I will make him feel at home..."
The Yanei said with an exaggerated expression: "You feel at home..."
He looked at everyone, and his exaggerated expression made everyone laugh.
“Feel like home…hahahaha!”
Amidst the laughter, Wang Shen lowered his head, and the smile in his eyes gradually spread.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
His body was shaking and tears were falling.
"Jin Qing." Wang Jian knew why he was crying and couldn't help but touch his dentures.
His was better. Most of Wang Shen's teeth were knocked out by Zhao Xu. He couldn't cause trouble to Zhao Xu, and the culprit in this matter was Shen An.
When a young man loses most of his teeth, it feels like life is worse than death.
"So-and-so's teeth." Wang Shen touched his dentures, "That thief spread rumors that so-and-so was frivolous and ruined so-and-so's reputation... Now he deserves what he deserves, so-and-so..."
He got his revenge and couldn't help but throw up his head and laugh.
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open from the outside, and a yamen hurried in, shouting: "It's not good, it's not good."
Wang Shen's laughter was interrupted and he looked at the man displeased.
"What's the matter?"
The visitor looked surprised and said: "Chen Zhongheng left the imperial city just now and said outside..."
Everyone dropped what they were holding and looked at the person coming.
"Rokuro, tell me quickly."
"Chen Liulang, if you don't tell me, I will kill you."
The visitor took a breath and continued: "It is said that because of Liu Xian's corruption, more than 300 victims died of cold and starvation..."
The tense atmosphere was relieved, and someone sneered: "It's just some victims who died, what's wrong?"
These yameni grew up in fine clothes and fine food, and they knew from an early age that they were at the top of the food chain and were in a different world from the common people.
For them, the number of people dying is just a number and has no special meaning. Two yamen showed unbearable expressions, but were soon filled with the indignation infected by their companions.
"You can't kill people just because of this, right?"
"that is."
In their view, the death of these people is no different from the end of life of ants...
Wang Shen's breathing was rapid and he said angrily: "Why? Official why?"
The visitor took another breath and said, "Liu Xian and others colluded with the commander Chen Wei..."
The room suddenly became quiet.
"Collusion between civil and military officials is a big taboo... If we bring those people back, the officials will be furious, but they can't kill them."
"So Shen An killed those people for the official family. To the official family, he has merit and great merit!"
"Stop talking!" Wang Shen stood up with a pale face, walked slowly to the door, turned around and said, "Are you still drinking?"
Everyone looked at each other, and the two yamen who had previously shown unbearable expressions said, "There is something going on in a certain family, so you can drink."
Wang Shen smiled and shouted: "Staff, bring some good wine and good food, just serve them. Today we...will not return until we get drunk!"
"Okay, I won't come back until I'm drunk!"
Here we drank to drown our sorrows until a few big men rushed in from outside.
"Who is Wang Shen?"
