Chapter 476 475 Frame-Up

"What post? Who comes to the door so late? Doesn't this disturb people's sleep?"

Wei Guangde muttered, got up and got dressed.

Fortunately, it is no longer the coldest winter, and the weather is not that cold anymore.

"It's a post from Jin Yiwei Lu Yi."

At this time, Xu Jianglan, who was helping Wei Guangde get dressed, said, "Maybe there is something urgent, so that's why."

"Okay, let me go out and take a look. You need to get more rest and go to bed quickly. I told you not to get up."

Wei Guangde asked the maid to help Xu Jianglan go to bed and rest, and then he left the house and walked to the front yard.

Arriving at the front guest room, Wei Guangde entered the room and saw that the visitor was indeed Lu Yi. At this time, he was wrapped in a black cloak and had a hood on his head.

Seeing Wei Guangde enter the door wearing a coat, Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, then stood up from the chair, took two steps forward and said, "I have met Mr. Wei."

"Don't be too polite with Brother Cheng, we are all family members."

Wei Guangde smiled and then asked Lu Yi to sit down. He also sat aside and then asked, "Brother Yu Cheng arrived at the humble residence so late, but what happened?"

"A person was sent to prison tonight. I just learned the news, so I came over quickly."

Lu Yi replied.

"who?"

Wei Guangde couldn't help but become curious. What did the person imprisoned in the prison have to do with him? All his family members were in the house, and no servants were missing.

"Lan Daoxing."

Lu Yi replied.

"Why is it him? Who got it in?"

Wei Guangde's interest was really aroused by Lu Yi at this moment, and he was also suspicious in his heart. How could this Blue Immortal go to the imperial prison?

Is it a required course for cultivating immortals?

Except for the person involved, only a handful of people in the palace knew about the investigation. Even Gao Zhong didn't know about it. It's no wonder that Wei Guangde had no information at all.

Normally, Prince Yu's Mansion is the first to know the news coming from the palace, but the real secret information is still the one that Wei Guangde has the upper hand on.

"His Majesty's will."

Lu Yi replied.

"Why? Doesn't His Majesty trust him very much?"

Wei Guangde was surprised and asked aloud.

However, Lu Yi quickly told him the information he knew about the incident. How did Emperor Jiajing know about this?

have no idea.

"Buy eunuchs and spy on the Sacred Heart?"

Wei Guangde was a little dumbfounded by this answer. Many of the eunuchs in the palace had people behind them, and he was the only one.

Speaking of which, it was only his fault that Lan Daoxing was unlucky and the emperor discovered the clues.

It was just a trick to fool people, but he still ran away after being discovered?

Folks are liars.

But running into the palace and cheating is deceiving the king.

It can only be said that Lan Daoxing is very unlucky.

Before Wei Guangde finished sighing, something suddenly moved in his heart.

That's not right, Lan Daoxing committed a crime, why did Lu Yi come here to report it?

Lan Daoxing was not the person arranged by Prince Yu's Mansion, but he had some unclear relationship with Xu Cifu.

Could it be

Thinking of this, Wei Guangdehu asked: "Then what is the purpose of Brother Yucheng coming to my place?"

"I heard from my confidants that someone sent Lan Daoxing a message. Xu Jie sent him to get close to the emperor to kill him. The things he did, including the divination, were all told by Xu Jie."

Lu Yi lowered his voice and said to Wei Guangde.

Hearing Lu Yi's words, Wei Guangde couldn't help but widen his eyes.

But soon, his rapidly beating heartbeat began to slow down, and Wei Guangde also calmed down.

At first, he thought someone was targeting Prince Yu's Mansion, but now it seems that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Xu Jie.

However, as Lu Yi thought, by clearly targeting Xu Jie, of course, this was under the premise that the charges were proven, and Xu Jie would definitely fall.

The emperor sent people in, this is the imperial case.

But when Xu Jie fell, the one who had the biggest impact was actually Prince Yu. After all, Prince Yu's palace now had to rely on Xu Jie a lot if it wanted to do things in the court.

"Where did you get the news?"

Wei Guangde asked after thinking about it.

"It should be someone from the Yan family. The one who entered was a member of the Jinyiwei family, but this person is related to the Yan family."

Lu Yi replied.

"Are your people in prison reliable?"

Wei Guangde asked again.

Lu Yi nodded, already having a premonition in his heart that he would definitely use the power of the Lu family in the Jinyi Guards.

"Yes, I understand. Go back and rest early. I will contact you tomorrow."

Wei Guangde said calmly, "Give the message to the people in the prison and keep a close eye on them. If torture is used, try to delay it for a while."

Wei Guangde figured it out. This matter was not simple. Although he didn't know why it was Lan Daoxing, it was probably his collusion with Xu Jie that was discovered by the Yan family.

Lan Daoxing is definitely going to die. Even if Yan Song's official position may not be guaranteed, their actions may be bigger at this time. To put it bluntly, if they let others take action before they leave, the Yan family will really never have peace in the future. Day.

It is necessary to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. As for whether Xu Jie can be dragged down, I guess it is just a shot first if there is no date.

After Lu Yi left, Wei Guangde did not rush back to the house to sleep. Instead, he sat in the guest room for a while, thinking about the impact of this matter on Prince Yu's Mansion.

Naturally, it's best to keep this matter out of sight. The ministers don't have a good impression of these gangsters anyway, and no one cares about Lan Daoxing's life or death.

If Xu Jie is involved, that won't work. Now Prince Yu's Mansion needs Xu Jie to sit in the cabinet.

Although Yan Song saw that the situation was hopeless, he was still in the position of Prime Minister. Wei Guangde's previous request to Xu Jie had not been finalized, and it was unknown how long Yan Song could hold on.

Or, how long the emperor was willing to endure.

The only way to eliminate this matter was to make Lan Daoxing shut up.

As long as Lan Daoxing was gone, the matter would end here.

However, whether to let Prince Yu's Mansion deal with Lan Daoxing or let Xu Jie find a way to silence him was not something he could decide. He would go to Prince Yu's Mansion tomorrow to talk about it.

Thinking of this, Wei Guangde yawned, got up and went out to the backyard, which had already delayed a lot of time.

The next day, Wei Guangde went to Prince Yu's Mansion, first went to the yard to wait for Yin Shizhan and others, and then asked the eunuchs to go to the backyard to look for Li Fang.

At this time, Prince Yu was probably still sleeping soundly, and it was not good to wake him up.

Last night, we were drinking at Wei Guangde's house, so whether it was Yin Shizhan or Zhang Juzheng, they all came relatively late.

That is, Li Fang was destined to serve others. With Prince Yu and Yin Shizhan sitting at the banquet, there was no place for him to be a traitor.

So, Li Fang entered the house, but Yin Shizhan and others did not come.

"Sir Wei, you sent someone to call me so early, is there something wrong?"

The incident happened suddenly. Even though Lan Daoxing was very eye-catching among the alchemists favored by Jiajing, he was a person outside the court after all, and the officials in Beijing did not pay much attention to him, only those with a purpose.

Everyone knows that these alchemists are all the image of otherworldly masters in front of Emperor Jiajing, so sometimes they say a word, a word of flattery to a certain official, and the effect is really great.

However, these alchemists also have a big appetite, especially for those who need them.

However, if the abbot did not arrest him, the Taoist priests of Lan Daoxing's Taoist temple would sooner or later ask other people for help. At least they had to find out the reason. Moreover, this time, not only Lan Daoxing was arrested, but also his apprentices.

By that time, the news would naturally spread, so although the East Factory acted very covertly, it still could not cover it up for a few days.

And these few days were the most critical time of this incident.

The Yan family obviously wanted to play a time difference, force Lan Daoxing to blame Xu Jie as soon as possible, confirm the crime, and hand over the confession to Emperor Jiajing, and the matter would be settled.

Although others had not arrived yet, Wei Guangde did not want to keep it a secret, so he told Li Fang about the news conveyed by Lu Yi.

Like Wei Guangde's initial reaction, Li Fang didn't care when he heard that Lan Daoxing was arrested, although he didn't know the reason.

He knew best whether Prince Yu's Mansion had any contact with Lan Daoxing. It can be said that he knew all the external actions of Prince Yu's Mansion.

Since they had nothing to do with Lan Daoxing, they were naturally not afraid of being arrested and interrogated by Emperor Jiajing.

However, Wei Guangde's next words quickly changed his expression from relaxed to solemn.

Xu Jie's current position in the court was very important to Prince Yu's Mansion.

The Qiandi was always the Qiandi. Prince Yu was not the legitimate prince, nor the legitimate successor to the emperor. They could not be loyal to Prince Yu in name.

Although everyone roughly guessed the mentality of Emperor Jiajing, they did not dare to submit a petition to ask Prince Yu to be the prince.

If they submitted a petition, they would be a fool and would be uncomfortable.

Therefore, the powerful people in the court were very important to Prince Yu's Mansion. They could turn some of Prince Yu's plans into reality, otherwise they would always be just plans.

"This Yan family is too cruel. In order to frame their colleagues, they even used methods like alchemists."

Although Li Fang knew that there might be some connections between Xu Jie and Lan Daoxing, it was not made public after all.

In Prince Yu's mansion, only a few people knew about it, but Li Fang still said this to Wei Guangde.

"Who said it wasn't?"

Wei Guangde also agreed, "But the key is that the person has been put in the imperial prison now. It's not easy to get him out there. If they were more ruthless, they might have started to torture him to induce a confession. Who can withstand the means there?"

Wei Guangde hurriedly told Li Fang some of the things he learned from Lu Yi.

The outside world only knows that the prison of the Northern Pacification Division is terrifying, but few people know how terrifying it is, and Wei Guangde just asked about the means.

Well, I also want to compare the past and the present to see if the means of interrogating prisoners are keeping up with the times.

Upon hearing this, Wei Guangde's face changed, not only because he felt terrified in his heart, but also because of the time.

"No, I'll go tell Prince Yu right now. We really can't just sit there and watch. At least notify Prince Yu first, and send a message to Lord Xu. Otherwise, it would be too unfair for him to be punished by the emperor without knowing what's going on."

Li Fang had already stood up and was walking out while talking.

When he reached the door, Li Fang stopped again and turned to Wei Guangde and said, "Sir Wei, you should come with us. I don't know when the prince will be able to get up. I'm afraid he won't be sober when he just got up. You need to tell him."

"But I have to wait."

Wei Guangde was interrupted by Li Fang before he finished speaking, "Let them guard the gate of the palace. When the adults arrive, just call them over."

What's going on in the imperial prison?

Who knows.

Is Lan Daoxing tough?

Who knows.

Don't hit him with three whips. Whatever the Yan family asks him to say is what he says. Once the confession is recorded and signed, everything is over.

Because Li Fang knows those things, if he says that Lan Daoxing has no connection with Xu Jie, he can only lie to others.

As long as Lan Daoxing can't hold on, Xu Jie will be convicted in one move.

No escape.

Although what he said was frame-up, he was still worried in his heart. He only hoped that if there was enough time, Lan Daoxing's bones would be a little stronger and give them enough time.

After following Li Fang into the inner palace, Wei Guangde's eyes were a little tired.

In the past, the palace officials did not often come to the back, or they were summoned to the back by King Yu. Li Fang would ask people to make some preparations to disperse the irrelevant people.

Something happened suddenly today. Wei Guangde came in and didn't have time to clear the place, or Li Fang forgot about it. There were so many people walking along the way, it was so eye-catching.

When did so many women come later and their looks were so outstanding?

Wei Guangde was puzzled that there were only a few maids in the front yard, and their appearance was average.

In the past, I only saw a few people serving Prince Yu, so Wei Guangde always thought that the beauties in Prince Yu's palace were just like that. Although they would not appear like flowers, if there were really beautiful people among the people, they might not be sent to the royal family.

But this time when he suddenly came in, Wei Guangde's eyes were opened, and it seemed apt to say that there were so many beauties.

Li Fang didn't pay attention to this at all, maybe she was used to it.

When I arrived outside King Yu's chamber, I asked the chamberlain guarding the door a few words and found out that King Yu had not gotten up yet.

Rubbing his hands, he turned to Wei Guangde and said, "Master Wei, wait a moment, I'll go in and take a look."

After another stick of incense, I saw the door of the bedroom open. Li Fang called the maid at the door to come in and serve King Yu to wash and dress.

After waiting for a while, Wei Guangde saw a woman coming out of the dormitory.

This woman wore the same clothes as the palace maids, but unlike the other palace maids, her hair was hanging down instead of tied up, and was only surrounded by a veil. She was obviously the woman who accompanied her to bed.

Although he didn't see his appearance clearly, his waist was slender and his figure was graceful from the back. Wei Guangde also inadvertently saw those slender and narrow feet.

Wei Guangde shook his head and looked away, but no matter where he looked, there were beautiful palace maids. In the end, Wei Guangde had to face the wall and think about his fault.

Although the beauty is very good-looking, it depends on where she is.

At this time, Li Fang happened to come out. When she saw Wei Guangde's appearance, she suddenly realized her mistake and hurriedly waved to the surrounding maids to avoid them. Then she accused Wei Guangde and invited Wei Guangde into the room.

Pointing to the back, Wei Guangde asked curiously: "Is that the maid rumored outside?"

Li Fang looked along her fingers and saw the figure walking around the corner. She nodded and said, "His Highness's latest favorite is called Li Caifeng. She is the maid beside the princess."

Having arrived in front of the palace gate, Li Fang immediately shut up and extended her hand to invite Wei Guangde into the palace.

In front of King Yu, Wei Guangde repeated his previous remarks to Li Fang.

"This is a frame-up, Li Fang, send someone to deliver the news to Mr. Xu Ge quickly. They must not let them get what they want."

Of course King Yu knew that this matter was not a trivial matter, and he made a decision immediately without waiting to discuss it with other palace officials.
