Chapter 61 Xiao Chaohui 2

Among the seven masters, the power of the Chu family ranks at the bottom. In addition, Chu Lingyi's personality is relatively restrained and peaceful, so generally when there is a dispute in political affairs, he always keeps silent and does not follow until he knows it. Others have long been used to his style of doing things, so when he suddenly refutes Fang Yuanshan today, it attracted everyone's surprised eyes.

When he was looked at by these people, Chu Ling also did not panic. He continued, "I, the minister of the Ministry of Officials know the origin of these people the most clearly. They have been recommended by your family as officials over the years. If these people are not on your side to help your family speak, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

"And your hostility to Xu Jinghong and Guoan Division is more obvious. If they hadn't suddenly interrogated Cao Mao, Li Hang and Liang Sansi, the scandals of your family would still be covered up.

"Lord Chu, you should speak responsibly! Do you have any evidence that my family did something ugly? At this time, Fang Yuanshan had regained his composure and stared at Chu Lingyi. He had a headache about the opponent who suddenly jumped out of the calculation, but now everyone has to deal with it with all his strength.

Evidence? Naturally, there is, but it's not in my hands. Chu Ling also said and looked at the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice sitting next to him: "Lord Lian, now that the criminal is in the hands of your Ministry of Criminal Justice, this testimony is naturally with you."

After receiving Wu Jingzi's nod, Lian Chongru admitted: "Yes, I have all the criminal evidence related to the Fang family that Cao Mao and the three confessed. This is what I just wanted to say, but I was taken the lead by Lord Fang. With that, he picked up a few confessions and handed them over to the servant who came up to serve: "You can have a look."

Those officials took a copy and looked through it. In fact, their minds are not above these confessions. Everyone knows what the Fang family, Cao family and others have done. Naturally, they believe what is written on it. Now the only question they have is what the attitude of the bosses is about this matter, so in the end, everyone's eyes will still focus on Lv Zhonghe and Ye Mingyang.

The two looked at each other, and then Ye Mingyang said first, "Looking at this confession, it's really shocking. If what they say is true, Lord Fang, the mistakes made by your family will be too big. Even if you are an important minister in the court, I'm afraid you can't escape this matter.

Before Ye Mingyang opened his mouth, Fang Yuanshan had been staring at Lian Chongru angrily. This guy did not leave any affection, which showed that the other party was going to put himself and the Fang family to death. What shocked him more was that there was no way to fight back now, and the Fang family behind it was not as good as the Wu family behind it. This time it was really in a desperate situation.

But Fang Yuanshan did not admit defeat. He immediately said with a sad face, "Ye Situ, I really didn't expect that the people below would do such a bad thing. If these things are true, the subordinate is willing to bear all the responsibilities and be willing to accept all the punishments of the court. However, the following officials know that they will never do anything that violates the national law, and there must be something wrong with it. Maybe Cao Mao and others have suffered a lot at the hands of others, and they can only attract these false evidences if they can't endure torture. Therefore, the subordinates begged the court to investigate the situation of the three people in order to return justice to our family. In the end, he shouted injustice and wanted to fight back.

"What Lord Fang said is also reasonable, Lord Lian, do you have any opinion on this?" Lv Zhonghe also opened his mouth at this time, but he looked at the distant mountain, which made the latter slightly surprised.

"Everything in my criminal department is in accordance with the laws of the Song Dynasty, and there is no way to make a move. Moreover, the three criminal officers are only guilty and have not been removed from their official positions, so naturally they will not be punished. However, the confession they wrote is absolutely true. If several adults have any doubts, they can go to my prison to find out.

Seeing that he was so generous and agreed to this matter, Fang Yuanshan's heart tightened again, which was obviously fearless. But at this point, we have to go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to check it first and then take the next step.

"Okay, Lian Shangshu is so grand that it is exactly what I need. However, the evidence about the Fang family is also available, so in order to avoid suspicion, you can rest in the house for a few days. In addition, fewer people in the house have come out recently. Ye Mingyang added another sentence, but his intention was to put Fang Yuanshan under house arrest.

"Yes, the subordinate knows." Although Fang Yuanshan was so angry that he wanted to curse his mother, he had to bow his head in such a situation. But then he said, "But the matter of the National Security Department can't be done like this. What they have done is indeed too much, and the court can't condone them!" The hatred for Xu Jinghong has reached its peak, and he naturally doesn't want the other party to get better.

"We will deal with this and will definitely give Lord Fang a satisfactory answer." Lu Zhonghe smiled.

"Xu boy, it seems that I can only help you here." After opening his mouth, Chu Ling also said nothing more.

Chu Lingyi, a conservative person who has always been self-serving in the court, will suddenly stand up against Fang Yuanshan today, precisely because he met Xu Jinghong the night before yesterday. However, he and Xu Jinghong were able to meet, but they still paid thanks to his daughter, Chu Lian'er.

Although the struggle in the court is surging, Chu Ling doesn't care much about it. In his opinion, with the status of the Chu family, as long as they fail in the process of the struggle, no matter which side wins or loses, it has nothing to do with them. In this way, he has more energy to focus on family affairs.

Because of this, he found that his daughter's recent situation was not right. Chu Lian'er is only 16 years old and is the youngest son and daughter of Chu Ling. Naturally, he is regarded as the pearl on his palm and doesn't love him. When he found that his daughter seemed to have something on his mind, he was very careful as a father, but he asked several times, but his daughter refused to tell the truth.

In desperation, Chu Ling had no choice but to start from the people next to his daughter. The day before yesterday, he called several of his daughter's close maids to him to cross-examine her, asking what had happened, which made her so depressed.

Those maids naturally did not dare to hide anything in front of their masters, so they met the young lady with Xu Jinghong that day, and then told the teenager's story in their hearts. Later, it was mentioned that Chu Lianer met Xu Jinghong on the seventh night, but the other party's attitude was a little cold, which made the young lady very reluctant and finally became like this.

"Idiot..." After hearing all this, Chu Ling couldn't help sighing and reminded him of himself many years ago. At that time, he had the same experience when he emerged from the Chu family, but in the end, because the woman's identity was too low, he was thinking of becoming the heir of the family and failed her. The final result was also tragic. The woman finally died of illness because she couldn't stand the pain of lovesickness, and Chu Ling was also hit hard by this.

A young man who was full of confidence in the future and wanted to revitalize his family by his own ability was depressed because of his emotional injury. Although he still sat in the position of the head of the family in the end, the previous momentum disappeared with the woman's fragrance and jade. Unexpectedly, decades later, this scene appeared on his daughter again, which made Chu Ling also feel whether everything was retribution.

No, Chu Ling didn't want such retribution to happen to his daughter, so even if he knew that the man's situation was a little special, he still decided to help his daughter fulfill her wish. Of course, before that, he always had to have some contact with Xu Jinghong and have an understanding of this teenager.

So the night before yesterday, Chu Ling, dressed in the clothes of the people, also came to the Guoan government. After receiving Chu Shangshu's business card, Xu Jinghong felt a little strange, but he still came out to welcome him in person. After a burst of greeting, he couldn't help asking the other party's intention.

"I heard that Xu Dusi is a young hero. He is not only a talented person, but also righteous. I came here to meet and talk to you." Of course, Chu Ling would not say his real intention, so he casually made an excuse.

Xu Jinghong did not delve into this, but only said a few words modestly, and then said, "Isn't Chu Shangshu afraid of attracting some people's suspicion when he came to see me, a person who always causes trouble overnight? Maybe after tonight, someone will say that everything I have done is dictated by Lord Chu.

"Ha ha, if they really want to pass it on, let them pass it on. I, Chu Ling, are not afraid of embarrassing me. What's more, their experiences are all self-inflict. Can you deal with me in reverse?

"Lord Chu is really a righteous man." Xu Jinghong praised, and at the same time, he was still thinking about the real intention of the other party. But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of that, so he finally led the problem to the Fang family: "Now the Ministry of Justice has begun to investigate the Fang family case. I don't know how much does Lord Chu think this matter is?"

"This... depends on how many people in the court want to use this to suppress the power below." Chu Ling also smiled and said, "According to the recent situation, the Fang family will encounter a lot of trouble. However, many people just wait and see from it, so it is still difficult to force the Fang family into the Jedi.

"The boy also understands this. For this reason, I handed over Cao Liliang's family to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. As for the result, I can't control it."

"I want to ask you abruptly, what have you done for?" Suddenly, Chu Ling also stared at Xu Jinghong and asked, "Is it for personal hatred or other purposes?"

"There is both private hatred and public indignation." Xu Jinghong faced this elegant middle-aged man without much concealing it and said directly, "I think the adult knows my origin. It is because his daughter of the Fang family acted fiercely that my mother and I had such an experience at the beginning. After that, because of the obstruction of the Fang family, I will be sent to the southwest, which is a distant hatred.

"There are more recent grievances. They tried to take my life in the southwest several times, and later they wanted to kill me with the power of horse thieves. I remember all these things in my heart. Now that I have the opportunity to revenge, how can I not go all out?

"As for public indignation, it is after understanding what the other party's family has done. It turned out that everything they did to me was also used by other innocent people. Many people have lost their families because of their greed, only because they don't have the good luck like me, so they have to become wronged ghosts one by one. Since they can no longer avenge themselves, I have to do all this for them. So, no matter what, I have to make the Fang family pay the price they deserve.

Xu Jinghong's words were persistent, which moved Chu Ling. As the most strict family leader among the seven people, he also hates the behavior of this kind of fish and the people. But because of the overall situation, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only bear it. Now it seems that this teenager is much braver than himself.

"Okay, okay! Xu Jinghong, you are really a dareful person. She really didn't misread you!"

"Hmm?" Xu Jinghong was slightly stunned and couldn't help asking, "Who didn't misread me?"

"Oh, nothing." Chu Ling also hesitated, and then said, "Actually, I also have a lot of dissatisfaction with what the other party has done. If you are willing to nod, my Chu family will help you deal with them."

"But I dare not beg you." Xu Jinghong was surprised. In fact, he is also worried about the great effect of dealing with the Fang family's consciousness of relying only on others. It's better to have a powerful person to take action, but he didn't expect that he would really achieve what he wanted.

In this way, after some discussion, the two formed an alliance to deal with the Fang family together. And Chu Ling's first thing to do was to interfere with Xu Jinghong at the court meeting. Judging from today's scene, it was still successful, but because of Fang Yuanshan's persistence, the matter did not end.

At the same time, this dialogue also gave Chu Ling a deep understanding of Xu Jinghong. He is a responsible and affectionate real man. Naturally, it is reasonable for his daughter to like such a young man. However, in a short time, he did not intend to say this, and he still had to observe it. After all, it was about his daughter's lifelong event.

When Chu Ling also came out of the memory of the past, the people at the court meeting had already got up and left, and only the emperor was still sitting there. He also got up in a hurry and left after saluteing the emperor.

The emperor did not care about the minister's behavior, and the situation at today's small court meeting still deeply touched him. Such an important thing is related to the removal and guilt of a member of the imperial court, but those ministers just talked about it. None of them cared about him, the emperor, and asked him for his opinion. With such an attitude, where did they put him as an emperor? Is he really willing to only be such a puppet?

The more he thought about it, the deeper the anger in Zhao Zhe's heart. If it hadn't been for decades of forbearance, his forbearance had reached a certain depth. Maybe he would have just broken out and let the imperial guard in the palace kill all these unconns.

Looking at the emperor's somewhat distorted face, Huang Yue naturally understood his mind and hurried forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty is angry! The current situation has improved. In addition to the Fang family, our strength will be strengthened, and then we can deal with these people one by one. Your Majesty, if you put up with it for a while, our plan will be completed.

"I know that I can endure it." The emperor nodded slightly: "But I'm afraid Xu Jinghong can't keep it this time... Even if the Fang family dies because of him, it is impossible for others to let him continue to keep such an unruly person."

"Your Majesty, this is also the price of this matter. In fact, we don't have any loss. Let's change a family..." Huang Yue said hurriedly.

"But what should I do next?" The emperor frowned: "Xu Jinghong is a good bargaining chip and capable of doing things. I plan to continue to let him deal with other families. But now, he won't be able to stay in this position soon.

At this time, Huang Yue could not give the emperor any comfort, because he did not expect such a result. How could he have a way to deal with it?

After thinking quietly for a long time, the emperor slowly opened his eyes and a new plan came out. After this incident of the Fang family, there is bound to be a greater rift between the families that are wary and suspicious of each other, so as long as he does something from it, the struggle between several families will start quickly.

Once there is a fight between these families, the emperor who has been overtaken all the power will have the opportunity to regain some power with their strength.

In the past, the family's suppression of imperial power was like a piece of iron, tightly stitching, so that the emperor had no chance to fight back. However, this time, the matter of the Fang family made a crack in this iron plate. Following this gap, the power of the family that has been pressing the imperial power to be unable to move is bound to collapse and eventually die.

Thinking about this, the emperor's face finally showed a smile: "It seems that Xu Jinghong still plays a great role. At least he has opened a good start for me and let me find a way to disintegrate the family."

Seeing that the emperor finally put aside the unhappiness just now, Huang Yue was also relieved and said funnyly, "Your Majesty is right, this Xu Jinghong is indeed meritorious. Even if he is going to wrong him this time because of the affairs of the family, he can still be rewarded after His Majesty's major event is successful.

"That's right, Huang Yue, you have to remember this and reward him well in the future." The emperor's smile became stronger.

What he didn't know was that Xu Jinghong had begun to work hard for the next step he planned, because on this night, Xu Jinghong's calculation of those uninvited guests also unfolded, and the identities of the three of them will be the fuse of a new round of storm in Beijing...
