Chapter 441: scapegoat

Ge Zhida's words were full of tears, and Song Shi'an's expression was shocked, as if he was shocked and relieved. He said in a hoarse voice, "It turns out that... it's really you!"

In the words, there seems to be some speculation.

"All of this is my confusion for a moment. I'm sorry, brother, and it has ruined your reputation. I can't die."

Ge Zhida's voice was hoarse and said regretfully, "The sinner thought before that as long as the epidemic broke out in the capital, Lord Song and I could provide medicine, and the emperor would definitely lift Lord Song's ban. With Lord Song's generosity and benevolence, I will naturally try my best to treat others. In this way, the courtiers will definitely feel Lord Song's kindness. At that time, I will naturally be able to take it..."

Speaking of this, Ge Zhida's voice choked and kowtowed repeatedly: "It's the sinner who is confused, which has ruined Lord Song! Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Lord Song. It's all the fault of the sinner!"

He is a pragmatic person. As early as when the instigator was brought up, he knew that he could not escape this disaster, but Song Shi'an was his only and greatest hope. This matter must not involve Song Shi'an. Therefore, Ge Zhida made up his mind to take all the blame and protect Song Shi'an to the maximum extent. Because only by saving him, I still have a chance to survive.

And when the testimony of the person who was abetted attracted his mind, Song Shi'an secretly wink at Song Siwen.

The father and son have been familiar with each other for more than ten years, and they can understand each other's meaning just by eye contact, which is why they have this communication and answer.

Song Siwen knows that what Song Shi'an is most criticized today is the many scandals in the backyard before, and this epidemic incident. As long as he rounds up these two things and clears Song Shi'an's suspicion, there is always a chance for the father and son to rise again.

However, Song Shi'an did not know that today's Song Siwen was no longer at his mercy. Because just before, someone has pointed out the clear way to him. As long as this fake Song Shi'an is exposed, then his future, even if he can't rise all the way, at least, safety and wealth will not go away.

But Song Siwen knew that what he could not do was too obvious, because in the eyes of the world, his father, who had raised him for more than 20 years, has now been under suspicion, and he still wants to blame him, which is cruel?

However, looking at Song Shi'an's pleading eyes, he thought that if he also put it in, the whole army would really be destroyed!

Song Siwen was cruel, secretly biting his teeth and said angrily to Ge Zhida, "More than 70,000 people have been sick and more than 1,000 people have died. How can you... be so crazy?"

With that, Song Siwen turned around, knelt down to the emperor, and sobbed, "Your Majesty, I am really ashamed. What's more, Lord Song and I have had a father-son relationship for more than ten years. Now that my father's best friend has done such a thing, I can't escape the blame. No matter how you punish me, I am willing to accept it.

In this way, he cleverly took himself out.

Although Song Siwen's position in the court was not high before, he has indeed been blameless since he became a servant of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of Public Affairs, and this statement did not shirk the slightest. He frankly admitted his relationship with Ge Zhida. Instead of pawning for Ge Zhida, he asked for punishment, which seemed particularly frank and generous. Dedeed, it suddenly aroused a lot of sympathy.

What's more, according to Song Shi'an, he did not know anything about Ge Zhida's scheme, so it is speculated that Song Siwen is naturally an unwitting implicated person.

Before, Song Siwen fainted several times in order to save people during the epidemic, so that his body was more well known and not fake.

Therefore, many people jumped out to plead for him.

The emperor looked at Song Shi'an coldly and bent a cold arc at the corners of his mouth: "So, you don't know anything about this?"

"The Emperor's Mingjian! If Weichen knew, how could he not stop Lord Ge from doing so? Weichen has been an official in the court for more than 20 years. No matter how talented he is, he will not be crazy enough to sacrifice so many innocent lives to restore his official position, emperor!" Song Shi'an sounded sad, and his voice was sad and compassionate, which was unbearable to hear.

The emperor was about to speak when another voice came from next to him.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter should have nothing to do with Lord Song." Jun Yuchen, who had been watching on the wall, finally said, "Everyone knows that Lord Song was very sad when Mrs. Song passed away on that day, so he asked for filial piety for three years. Within three years, Lord Song not only stopped going in and out of the court, but even did not even come back to the former court officials. Since then, a series of things have happened in the backyard of Song Mansion, so Lord Song has been busy dealing with the backyard affairs. To talk about this matter, I think Lord Song should be completely ignorant and should have been done by Lord Ge alone.

No one expected that Ding Wangjun Yuchen, as a son-in-law, would plead for Song Shi'an at this time.

Before, Princess Ding and Song Shi'an, the father and daughter, had a knot between each other because of the death of Mrs. Song, which is known to the world.

So, it has always been very estranged between Song Shi'an and King Ding in the court, which is not a secret. And the truth of this epidemic was exposed by Jiang Jiantao, King Ding's close friend. Normally, King Ding should take this opportunity to bring Song Shi'an into the water, so that he can no longer compete with him, and he It's really surprising that he would plead for it.

It can be seen that Ding Wang is a person who is dedicated to the public, adheres to principles and has no personal grudges.

In this way, Jun Yuchen's image in the heart of the courtiers was a little higher.

Jun Yusultang looked at the reaction of the people below, but only smiled slightly. Song Shi'an was going to be convicted in the end anyway. In this case, it is more cost-effective to let him open this mouth and leave a fair and selfless impression in the hearts of the ministers.

What's more... Only now make the ministers believe that he has no self-resentment against Song Shi'an, and then he will be more trustworthy when he exposes the matter in the future.

"Although two consecutive cases have nothing to do with you, they all start because of you, and they are all said to govern the country and the whole world. Song Shi'an, your backyard is restless, and your friends around you are even more sinister, but you make mistakes again and again without not being aware of it! Song Shi'an, hand over your errands for the time being. Go back and reflect on yourself!"

The emperor thought about it, but he had already said his treatment of Song Shi'an, seized his position and ordered him to reflect, but he did not issue an order to plead guilty.

After all, Ge Zhida has not confessed Song Shi'an now, and the matter is related to him. This kind of treatment is not excessive or indisrespectable.

Song Shi'an suppressed his anger and said, "Yes, I obey."

"As for Ge Zhida, the body was leaked--" The emperor was about to announce the disposal of Ge Zhida, but he was interrupted.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Jiang Jiantao stood up again with a sincere look, "Although it is said that there are rich Dahua and others as evidence, and Ge Zhida himself has also admitted his guilt, as the saying goes that there are national laws, family rules, and everything must be followed by rules. This case is of great importance, but it has not been reviewed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice or Dali Temple. Weichen was originally in charge of the capital, and his intervention in the case was originally to cross the border, which was inappropriate. Therefore, Weichen believes that Ge Zhida should first be handed over to Dali Temple to hear the case, go through formal judicial procedures, and act in accordance with the law, so as not to give people a handle.

As soon as this statement was made, everyone felt that it was really rare for Jiang Jiantao to adhere to principles, abide by the rules, and did not take credit.

The emperor looked at Jiang Jiantao thoughtfully and said after a moment, "Then follow what you say!"

"Thank you, Emperor! However, Weichen has something to plead with the emperor," Jiang Jiantao added. "When the Dali Temple tried Qian Dahua's case before, Weichen served as an audience and attended. At that time, Weichen noticed something strange, but Weichen believed that the people who designed the epidemic were cunning and might startle the snakes. Therefore, he agreed with the Secretary of Dali to pretend to behead Qian Dahua, so that the case was dangerous to think that the case had been understood and relax his vigilance, so that he could be captured in one fell swoop. Where there is any deception, please The emperor forgives his sins."

The secretary of Dali Temple was stunned when he heard the words, and then understood it, and he was secretly grateful in his heart.

Qian Dahua's case was handed over to Dali Temple. He could not notice the strangeness. He determined that Qian Dahua was the murderer and almost indulged the real black hand. Speaking of it, this was his great dereliction of duty.

But now Lord Jiang covered it up for him, but became a trap set up to lure the suspect, which not only flattened his fault, but also gave him half of the credit that originally belonged to Lord Jiang.

In the whole dynasty, people like Lord Jiang are really kind-hearted. If there is a chance in the future, they need to repay him for this kindness.

And this kind of buying effect is exactly what Jun Yuchen wants Jiang Jiantao to do. Because of his low background, he has always been weak in the court. If he wants to rise, he needs a broader network and have the opportunity to show their goodwill. Naturally, he will not let go.

The emperor looked at Jiang Jiantao quietly with a thoughtful expression.

Jiang Jiantao's behavior is completely different from Jun Yuchen and Song Shi'an. No matter what he does, he is reasonable. He stands on a fair and fair position in everything. He does not speak easily, but he can settle the dust as soon as he opens his mouth.

Compared with Jun Yuchen's free will, Song Shi'an's heart is deep, and his style is easier to win the support and accommation of the courtiers... It seems that this is not an idle person!

"It's okay, it's urgent. You can expose this matter, and there is no merit!" The emperor said indifferently.

After this morning, the people of the capital soon knew the truth of the matter.

Because of the last epidemic, more than 70,000 people were infected and thousands died near the capital, which can be said to be the biggest tragedy since the founding of this dynasty.

Many people in the capital were shocked and sad. Therefore, after the truth of the epidemic came out at that time, Ge Zhida suddenly became the target of Wanfu. Even Song Shi'an, who seemed to be implicated, did not escape from Youyou's mouth and was scolded to death.

And on Songfu's side, Song Shi'an's life will naturally not be better. After a while, his situation was on track, and suddenly came again. Song Shi'an was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
