Chapter 129 Slap Ren Weizhi
"Well, I won't disturb His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess from reminiscing about the past."
Zeng Anmin gave the prince a random look.
Then he walked outside.
I don’t know if this guy noticed it.
But it doesn't matter.
Have you noticed that none of this can affect your ability to find out the mastermind behind your murder?
If it is really Concubine Xi.
If we can't kill her, we'll at least make her lose some skin.
"drive!"
After Zeng Anmin left the palace, he raised his whip and rode his little green horse towards the Shangshu's residence.
…………
Yong'an Palace.
The Crown Prince sat respectfully opposite the Princess, with a tentative look on his face.
"Just now when Brother Quan Fu came over..."
The eldest princess looked at the cautious expression on the prince's face, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
She naturally knew that the prince had run to the Imperial College for the sake of that "national minister".
However, she also knew that these two people might have unintentionally touched upon His Majesty's taboos.
So he nodded calmly and said, "This boy has now taken refuge with me."
“Crack.”
After hearing this, the chubby prince felt as if he heard a sound of shattering in his heart.
His face was filled with disbelief, his mouth hanging open: "This...this...no, no way?"
He even stuttered a little while speaking.
"Why not?"
The eldest princess frowned and looked at the crown prince: "Could it be that His Royal Highness has also recruited this person?"
"No... no, how could that be? I should focus on my studies now."
The prince quickly shook his head and hid the disappointment in his heart.
"Um."
The eldest princess curled her lips slightly and nodded calmly.
…
Renfu.
Ren Weizhi heard the report from his subordinates.
With a sharp glint in his eyes, he looked towards the servant:
“Not dead?!”
The servant knelt respectfully on the ground and said, "I saw with my own eyes that Zeng Anmin rode back to the mansion."
…
Ren Weizhi frowned deeply, and he glanced in the direction of Fa'an Temple without leaving any trace.
Didn't he do anything?
impossible.
He has been given the warrant, how could he not take action?
What kind of accident could have happened?
Ren Weizi's hand tapped gently on the table.
After a long while, he narrowed his eyes and asked the servant:
"How many days have passed?"
The servant understood, and he said very respectfully, "Nine days."
"Haha." A slight smile appeared on Ren Weizhi's face.
"Then we should have reached Liangjiang County long ago."
When he said this, a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
"The good days of the Zeng family and their son end here."
…………
The next day.
In the court.
Dad walked calmly along the palace path as usual.
Lou Yingqi didn't get too close to him.
The two people went their separate ways.
After all, forming a faction in the court is not a glorious thing.
Dad's eyes were calm. After arriving at the court, he quickly found his seat and stood there.
Then he looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, as if he didn't care about anything.
"clatter."
A faint sound of footsteps came from beside Dad.
It seems to be sent intentionally.
Zeng Shilin glanced over lightly.
Then Ren Weizhi looked at him with a smile.
The two looked at each other.
Slowly lowered his head.
The corners of Dad's mouth moved slightly, barely perceptible.
…
"If you have something to report, please do so. If not, please leave the court."
The old eunuch's voice remained high.
Emperor Jianhong looks very good today.
Because he received an interesting piece of news yesterday.
"After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came out of Yong'an Palace, he became depressed."
This news was just given to the young eunuch to inquire about.
Then he heard the news that Zeng Anmin went to Yong'an Palace.
interesting.
Although it is not known when Zeng Anmin got in touch with the eldest princess.
But this at least shows that the prince is not as dishonest as he imagined.
Emperor Jianhong sat calmly on the dragon throne, his eyes slowly scanning among his ministers.
"Your Majesty, I, the Minister of War, Zeng Shilin, have been found guilty of corruption and abuse of power."
A voice suddenly rang out.
…
This voice sounded.
Everyone was caught off guard.
Even Dad is the same.
Zeng Shilin looked at the person who opened his mouth expressionlessly.
Let him do it.
This guy has now completely broken off relations with his father.
His expression was extremely serious. He stood out with his body bent, holding a tablet in his hand, and exuded a righteous aura.
"Um?"
Emperor Jianhong's eyes remained unchanged as he looked towards Ren Weizhi.
Everyone knows that Ren Weizhi and Zeng Shilin don't get along.
However, there has been no confrontation between the two in the court these days.
Today really caught people off guard.
Jianhong didn't say anything, but just looked at Ren Weizhi indifferently.
Ren Weizhi bowed slightly, his eyes extremely serious:
"Two years ago, Jiangnan was devastated by floods. The imperial court allocated funds to Jiangnan. Zeng Shilin, then the governor of Fengqi Road, took on the responsibility of disaster relief and built the Jishui Weir."
"It's just that a few days ago, while I was reviewing old records with the Ministry of Revenue, I discovered that there seemed to be some errors in the disaster relief funds."
As he spoke, he took out the "evidence" in his hand and handed it over respectfully:
"Therefore, I suspect that Zeng Shilin embezzled disaster relief funds and withheld funds. When building the Jishui Weir, he must have used inferior materials instead of good ones."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head, his eyes were extremely upright, and he looked at Zeng Shilin righteously, his voice suddenly raised:
"But you, the thief, do you know that if something unexpected happens to the Jishui Weir, the twelve counties south of the Yangtze River will be plunged into misery. When you did this rebellious act, did you ever think about the millions of people?!!"
What a high-sounding speech.
Zeng Shilin narrowed his eyes and looked at Ren Weizhi.
At this moment, Ren Weizhi stared at his father without fear.
At that time, Emperor Jianhong was looking at the "evidence" handed over by Ren Weizhi.
The evidence was extremely detailed.
Even where Zeng Shilin spent every penny of his money.
The amount of money spent is extremely detailed.
After looking at it for a long time, Emperor Jianhong looked at Zeng Shilin calmly:
"What do you have to say, Mr. Zeng?"
For a while.
Everyone's eyes turned to Zeng Shilin.
The people of Li's party and the eunuch's party all looked as if they had nothing to do with the matter.
Some people even looked like they were enjoying the show.
Lou Yingqi stared at Ren Weizhi intently.
He wanted to stand out.
But he noticed the gesture under Zeng Shilin's sleeve.
Seeing this gesture, Lou Yingqi took a deep breath and stopped.
But his eyes were still sharp as he looked towards Ren Weizhi.
…
"Your Majesty, I have acted with integrity. When the Jishui Dam was first built, I not only did not withhold any disaster relief funds, but I actively solicited donations for those who were short of funds. I even donated some of my own money to build the Jishui Dam into a giant city like steel."
Zeng Shilin's face was full of righteousness.
After paying his respects, he did not forget to give Ren Wei a warning, his voice extremely serious:
"Within thirty years, there will be absolutely no chance of any problems with the Jishui Weir!"
"Oh?" Ren Weizhi's face showed a hint of triumph after hearing Zeng Shilin's words. He suddenly raised his voice:
"Do you dare to guarantee this statement?"
Zeng Shilin raised his head slightly, chin tilted up: "Why not? If there is any problem with the Jishui Weir, Your Majesty will execute my entire clan!"
Tsk.
Hearing this, Ren Weizi couldn't help but smile.
He took a deep breath and said, "Alright! Master Zeng, you must take responsibility for what you said!"
"snort!"
Dad just looked at Ren Weizhi with disdain and slowly retreated to his seat.
Emperor Jianhong casually placed the "evidence" in his hand in front of the dragon throne table.
He raised his head and looked towards the ministers.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard someone outside the temple shouting:
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from Liangjiang County!"
…
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Ren Weizi.
For a moment, all those eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.
this……
Ren Weizhi Mofei...
Various speculations flashed through everyone's mind.
Emperor Jianhong also subconsciously looked at Ren Weizhi.
However, at this moment, Ren Weizhi had a blank expression on his face and lowered his head, as if he had not heard the voice.
Only the hands hidden under the sleeves were clenched tightly.
There was also a hint of sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Emperor Jianhong looked at Zeng Shilin again.
The expression on Dad's face at this moment was surprisingly consistent with Ren Weizhi's expression.
Both of them seemed to have a sneer on their faces that showed they were sure of victory?
"Xuan!"
Jianhong raised his head slightly and waved his dragon sleeves gently.
It stirred up the spirit of countless royal nobles.
"yes!"
As the sound fell.
A figure slowly walked in from outside the hall.
The figure was in tatters.
The face was covered by blood.
He limped into the hall.
Like refugees.
What disaster happened to this person?
A doubt subconsciously emerged in everyone's mind.
etc? !
Disaster? ?
From Liangjiang County?
Jishui Weir? !
For a moment, many people suddenly looked up and looked towards Ren Weizi!
At this time, Ren Weizhi looked up calmly.
He ignored everyone's gaze.
After seeing that tattered figure, all the heavy stones in my heart fell.
He knows.
He was just waiting for this person to speak and report the disaster in Liangjiang County.
Then Zeng Shilin will definitely die! !
He set his sights on Zeng Shilin.
However.
At this moment, he did not see any panic on his father's face.
Some are just calm and peaceful.
He even looked at Ren Weizi with disdain.
Ren Weizhi continued to sneer.
Just pretend.
It depends on how long you can pretend.
If the Jishui Dam collapses, the flood will instantly turn the three counties of Fengqi Road into wasteland overnight.
More than just three counties?
This flood can spread to at least seven counties!
By then, people will be living in misery due to such a great disaster.
Your Majesty, in order to appease the people's anger, you, Zeng Shilin, must surrender your own head.
Let Your Majesty give an explanation to everyone in the world.
And he was the one who had just given His Majesty the "evidence".
Whether it is true or false... there is no need to delve into it.
In the palace.
When Lou Yingqi saw the ragged figure entering the hall, his heart sank.
What kind of tricks is this?!
He doesn't understand the inside story and doesn't know many things.
So at this moment, he could only watch things slowly unfold.
However, a bad premonition was already lingering in my mind.
He is the only one who can keep calm in the entire hall.
There was only Zeng Shilin.
After seeing the ragged figure, the corners of Dad's mouth twitched subconsciously.
He pursed his lips.
Try to keep your face calm.
"Puff!!"
In full view of everyone, the tattered figure knelt directly in the hall.
"Your Majesty, I will make the decision for you!!!"
That voice sounded familiar.
There is also a touch of tragedy.
Hearing this voice, Emperor Jianhong frowned slightly.
He looked towards the disheveled figure kneeling on the ground.
The more I look at it... the more familiar it seems.
"Look up."
Emperor Jianhong said coldly.
"yes."
The figure slowly raised his head, revealing Bai Ziqing's familiar face.
But Bai Ziqing no longer had the same high spirits as before.
All that is left is haggardness and weathering.
After seeing this face, a murderous intent suddenly flashed in Emperor Jianhong's eyes.
"What happened?!"
There was a hint of surprise in his voice.
Hearing the tone of Emperor Jianhong's speech.
Everyone was stunned.
They all looked up at Emperor Jianhong.
Your Majesty, this is...
Why are you angry?!
There was a hint of contemplation in the eyes of Prime Minister Li Zhen.
The eunuch Si Zhongxiao, who was in charge of writing, stood beside the dragon throne and also squinted his eyes as he looked at Bai Ziqing.
"Your Majesty...that Eastern Religion spy..."
Bai Ziqing was halfway through his words when he started coughing uncontrollably.
"Cough cough cough~"
When he coughed, his body convulsed.
"Um?"
Emperor Jianhong narrowed his eyes, with a warning in his eyes.
He asked Bai Ziqing to investigate the behind-the-scenes incident related to the Green Viper, and it was originally done in secret.
This guy actually wants to say it directly in the court?
But he wanted to say something else.
But he saw Bai Ziqing's face suddenly turn pale.
"Puff~"
A mouthful of blood spurted out of Bai Ziqing's mouth.
His face grew paler.
Even my body couldn't help shaking.
This scene completely stunned Emperor Jianhong.
Bai Ziqing is a fourth-rank warrior!
A famous master in Beijing!
How did he get injured so badly?!
"Where's the imperial physician?!"
Emperor Jianhong suddenly raised his head and looked outside.
"Call the imperial physician!!"
Followed by a flurry of footsteps.
The eunuchs outside the hall hurried towards the Imperial Hospital.
But Bai Ziqing must have become addicted to acting at this time.
He was half paralyzed on the ground, blood still flowing out of his mouth.
"Si Daban!"
Emperor Jianhong looked at Si Zhongxiao expressionlessly.
Si Zhongxiao saluted with great respect, then lightly tapped his toes.
The next moment, he appeared directly in front of Bai Ziqing.
He squatted down expressionlessly, then slowly closed his eyes.
The withered hand was about to rest on Bai Ziqing's arm.
But someone was one step faster than him.
I saw the old man walking up to Bai Ziqing with a serious face.
He reached out and placed his hand on Bai Ziqing's back.
“Buzz!!”
The next moment, the vast green energy surged into Bai Ziqing's body.
Seeing this, Si Zhongxiao stood obediently by the side.
At that time.
All eyes paused on Bai Ziqing.
Only one person had an extremely gloomy expression.
Let him do it.
When he saw that the shabby figure was actually Bai Ziqing, an ominous premonition emerged in his heart.
“Huh~”
Finally, Dad slowly stopped.
The vast green energy also slowly returned to the body.
Zeng Shilin frowned deeply and murmured:
"How did you get injured so badly??"
After saying that, he returned to his seat.
The eyes look at the nose, the nose looks at the heart, and it seems that one is deaf to everything.
…………
At this time, Bai Ziqing on the ground also opened his eyes confusedly.
The first moment you open your eyes.
He stood up without hesitation and walked towards Ren Weizhi.
"Da, da, da."
Every step he took seemed extremely difficult.
Ren Weizhi watched him approach, his brows furrowed deeply:
"you want……"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was blocked.
“Bang!!!”
An extremely abrupt slap.
At the same time, there was Bai Ziqing's angry voice:
"Traitor! You deserve to die!"
Everyone's faces were stunned by the slap.
Only Dad stood in the crowd, trying hard to suppress the urge to laugh out loud.
