605: Drumming!(1/2)

Mr. Huang drove away his original wife and his children. He has been changing concubines and replacing others over the years. Obviously, he does not intend to have too much emotional connection with others.

Why?

It was Mr. Huang who had long expected that there would be such a day and he was unwilling to implicate others?

But Mr. Huang hadn't changed a house for so many years, so Yu Xian felt that there was something wrong with the Huang family.

Yu Xian asked someone to dig three feet into the Huang family and confiscate all the things in Huang Shilang's study. He did not let him go any corner of Huang Shilang's house. He wanted to find "evidences" such as confidential letters, and even wanted to find the secret passages and secret rooms covered by Huang Shilang... Unfortunately, he pushed down the rockery in the Huang family's yard, and all the blue bricks were dug out, the walls, roof beams and tiles, including the kitchen stove, and the stone tanks for Huang Shilang's fish farming at home, and there was no gain.

This is an ordinary house.

How is that possible!

Gu Hongtai was unwilling to give up and wanted to lead people to tear down the walls. Huang Shilang's neighbors were in a miserable way and came forward to ask the Jinyiwei men to give up their hands.

The Huang family and the neighbors on both sides share the same wall. Once the wall of the Huang family is demolished, the yard of the neighbors on both sides is gone. What should the women from both families do?

"dismantle."

Yu Xian sneered: "The Jinyiwei is doing the job, when will others be allowed to bargain!"

Soon, all four walls of the Huang family were demolished.

The neighbors of Huang Shilang's left and right were indeed implicated. The women in the family were so scared that they dared not come out. The Jinyiwei also had to search each room next to each other, knocking and hitting the walls and ground with scabbards. Both owners dared not speak out.

A third-rank official like Mr. Huang, the Jinyiwei arrested him as soon as he said he was arrested. One of the neighbors on both sides was a small official and the other was a businessman. How dare he challenged the Jinyiwei? He could only admit that he was unlucky.

The wall was demolished and the neighbors searched the house, but nothing was found.

Yu Xian felt that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

After the Jinyiwei left, Mr. Huang and his two neighbors did not dare to build walls. A middle-aged man stood in the corridor, looking at the unrecognizable Huang Mansion, not knowing what he was thinking.

A man walked up and stood beside the middle-aged man. Looking at the messy yard, he couldn't help but sigh:

"It's hard for Lord Huang to get out this time, and the Jinyiwei will not let him go."

The middle-aged man had no expression on his face: "Mr. Huang never thought of getting out. Someone would inevitably sacrifice such a thing. Mr. Huang was prepared for sacrifice more than ten years ago. Now Mr. Huang is sacrificing. If there is a need, I will die as generously as Lord Huang."

That's true.

Over the years, everyone has to lose their heads. If they had not put life and death aside, they would not have been able to persevere!

"Sir, when will we contact Cheng Qing?"

Middle-aged men are Mr. Zhang, the Jinyiwei whom they want to catch the most.

Mr. Zhang has the ability to change his face. He can change a new mask at any time depending on the situation. He wears a new mask and passes by the Jinyiwei who is pursuing him. Even the Jinyiwei cannot recognize him.

Of course, Mr. Zhang had dealt with Yu Xian as "He Wangchun". He was afraid that Yu Xian would remember his figure, so he was still very cautious when he was in the capital.

When he heard his subordinates ask when he could contact Cheng Qing, Mr. Zhang's eyes flashed coldly: "What's the hurry? I've been holding it for so many years, but now I can't help it. I have to eat one bite at a time, and the road has to be taken step by step!"

Mr. Zhang is still not sure whether the emperor's illness is true or false.

But it doesn't matter, it will be tested soon!

...

It was the second day that Cheng Qing heard that Huang Shilang was captured by the Jinyiwei.

Meng Huaijin told her not to act rashly, but Cheng Qing had never endured her in search of Meng Huaijin.

The queen sentenced Concubine Ning to death, refused to be appointed as the crown prince, and entrusted the affairs of the court to Chief Minister Gao. Chief Minister Gao ordered Cheng Qing to follow him. The next day, he summoned several other ministers except the cabinet, and Meng Huaijin was one of them.

Cabinet ministers and six ministers gathered together.

The Hanlin Academy also intends to give advice to Chief Gao, who asked Chief Gao to send Shujishi to record the court discussion, and the person sent by the Hanlin Academy was Cheng Gui.

Cheng Gui is a Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy and the grandson-in-law of Gao Shaofu.

The big guys are worried about two things now, one is the establishment of a crown prince, and the other is the war in the Northwest.

The call for the crown prince was pressed down by the Empress, and the war in the Northwest became the target of concern to the big men. To repel the Northern Barbarians, they had to mobilize troops to rush to the Northwest, block the footsteps of the Northern Barbarians' army, and also deploy the defense line of the capital.

Cheng Qing listened very seriously.

She was not clear about the strength of the capital defense and did not dare to interrupt.

Cheng Gui had no qualifications to interrupt and recorded his head.

During the break, Cheng Gui secretly told Cheng Qing: "Axian brought someone to arrest Mr. Huang, the Minister of Rites last night. I heard that he had not let go of any bricks and tiles of the Huang Mansion. He took away all the things that could be taken away, and then demolished them if they could not be taken away."

If the war in the Northwest was not important and the emperor was unconscious again, Cheng Gui would probably have dozens of letters to impeach Yu Xian today.

What should Ah Xian do in the future!

Cheng Qing was also surprised when he heard the news.

Yu Xian... No, why did the Jinyiwei arrest Huang Shilang? Is it because of the instruction of the Empress?

Cheng Qing's first reaction was that the Empress did not like Huang Shilang and some ministers used the fourth prince as an excuse to cause trouble. Not only did they kill Concubine Ning, but they also wanted to use Huang Shilang to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

As soon as this idea came out, Cheng Qing himself immediately refuted it.

If the Queen even commanded the Jinyiwei, she would not have to be afraid of the eldest princess.

Only Luo Jun can tell Yu Xian to do things!

When the Jinyiwei arrested Mr. Huang, was he discovering something wrong with Mr. Huang?

It just so happened that Meng Huaijin was also out to get some breath, so Cheng Qing quickly told Meng Huaijin about this. When Cheng Gui saw Meng Huaijin coming, he probably had something to say, so he turned around to find Gao Shougong.

Meng Huaijin nodded, "I already knew about this last night. You haven't noticed some rumors in the capital today, right?"

"Senior brother, what is the rumor?"

"The Jinyiwei confiscated Huang Shilang's house. He was a third-rank official. He had not moved for more than ten years. He was a lonely man with no wealth. The Jinyiwei detained Huang Shilang's house last night. Today, someone spread it everywhere in the capital, saying that Huang Shilang is a clean and good official, and only Huang Shilang dares to tell the truth, so the Jinyiwei cannot tolerate Lord Huang."

Meng Huaijin paused, "The arrest of Mr. Huang was only spread on a small scale. These remarks were made this morning. Are you surprised?"

Of course it's very strange.

This is someone who manipulates public opinion behind the scenes.

No one is more familiar with such a method than Cheng Qing.

If someone else takes her way, is she going to force her to have no way out?

"A honest official is not necessarily a good official."

Cheng Qing muttered this.

In Cheng Qing's eyes, Mr. Huang is like a messing stick. The court is already very chaotic. Mr. Huang also wants to make the fourth prince the crown prince. What kind of good official is this?

When Cheng Qing evaluated Mr. Huang in this way, he did not expect that Mr. Huang would lead to a shocking event.

Meng Huaijin said that the little red fox that Xiao Yunpei gave was almost done and he would take time to send it to the Cheng family.

Cheng Qing almost forgot the little red fox, but unexpectedly Meng Huaijin really scolded the little fox.

From the little red fox, Cheng Qing thought of Xiao Yunpei, and then Xiao Yunting who left the capital.

"Actually, I really hope that Xiao Yunting can return to the northwest alive. He is smart and ambitious. Maybe there is really a way to stop the Northern Qi Iron Cavalry."

Meng Huaijinyin smiled: "Xiao Yunting has lived happily for a few years, so every day is very precious to him. He can't bear to die. Don't worry, he will definitely be able to rush back to the northwest."

The ministers in the court also called "Northern Qi" the "Northern Barbarians" and did not recognize the unified regime established by Agula on the grassland.

Buchengqing thinks this is like stealing a bell.

The grassland tribes were not vassal states of the Great Wei. A new unified regime was established without seeking the consent of the Great Wei.

Even if everyone in the Great Wei insisted on not changing their words, they still used the "Northern Barbarians" to call the regime established by Agula, and they could not change the fact that Agula led his army to break through the northwest defense line.

Shoujiao Gao discussed with the adults for a long time and initially decided on the strategy of mobilizing troops to assist.

Cheng Qing had not digested these arrangements yet. On the next day, the Dengwen Drum in the capital was beaten - right, it was the extreme method that those refugees thought of when they were in Wuhe County, and they beat the Dengwen Drum!

In order to prevent the drums from being beaten randomly by people, the court stipulated that those who beat the drums had to be beaten thirty boards first, and only after they could they tell their grievances.

Those who can risk being beaten to death or being disabled are probably really wronged.

Because of this regulation, the Dengwen Drum may not be ringed once a year. When it is ringed at this time, the prefect of Shuntian must rush over there in person.

The man who beats the drums was an old man. Liang Qinian, the governor of Shuntian, rushed over. Seeing the age of the drum beaters, he couldn't bear to hit the other party thirty. However, the court's rules were like this, and Liang Qinian had to implement them.

Liang Qinian was kind-hearted. The executioner was hinted by Lord Liang and left some strength when he hit the board. The old man's back buttocks were beaten to bloody, which was actually all external injuries and no bones were damaged.

After hitting the thirty-year-old board, Liang Qinian asked the old man who was suing him.

The old man struggled to take out a bloody complaint from his arms.

"The old slave is a servant of the Minister of Rites Huang. The old slave was captured by the Jinyiwei, and the old slave complained on behalf of the master."

Report to the Jinyiwei?

If the Jinyiwei was so easy to sue, Luo Jun would not have been beaten in the court.

Liang Qinian's heart was slightly moved. Luo Jun was rampant before, but he was supported by the emperor. Now the emperor is still in a coma. If the emperor woke up, the lords in the court joined forces to clean up Luo Jun, but they just lacked an opportunity... Liang Qinian soon realized that it was a good opportunity for Mr. Huang's servant to beat the drum to complain!

"Come, present his complaint to me!"

The complaint in the hands of the old man was brought to Liang Qinian by the yamen runners.
