The confessions of Zhu Weishan and his son were delivered to General Wen Binwen by Gu Yan's personal guards day and night.
General Wen read it carefully, threw Gu Yan's autographed letter into the charcoal basin, and watched it turn into ashes. He called in his close staff and discussed it carefully for a while. The staff copied a copy. General Wen put it in his sleeve pocket and came out.
He got off his horse and went straight outside Donghua Gate to find Mr. Pang.
Pang Xiang looked at General Wen who pushed aside his entourage and rushed into the room. He said with a cold face: "General, you are too presumptuous. This is a central place!"
"Mr. Pang..."
"I don't have time to listen to you today about military expenditures. You should go to the Privy Council." Xianggong Pang interrupted General Wen's words unceremoniously.
"If you talk about military expenditures, you have to discuss them in court. I have never met with Xianggong Pang in private, and I have never talked to you about official matters in private." General Wen also turned cold, "I came here to see Xianggong Pang because I was the son of the eldest son.
It’s just a matter of loyalty to someone who has been entrusted by someone else.”
After a pause, General Wen chuckled and said: "If Mr. Pang really doesn't want to listen, I will go to Donghua Gate and report this matter to the prince."
Mr. Pang looked at Wen Bin with a sullen face. After a moment, he pointed his finger and said, "Sit down and let's talk."
General Wen sat down, glanced around, took out the stack of copied confessions from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Prime Minister Pang, "Mr., please take a look at this."
Pang Xiang took it, shook it hard, looked at it a few times, his expression changed, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Wen Bin.
Wenbin looked at him with a smile.
"You guys step back." Pang Xianggong motioned to the attendants standing in the corner of the room.
Seeing all the officers retreating, Pang Xianggong continued to read the stack of confessions.
"This is slander!" Pang Xianggong gritted his teeth.
"That must be because the eldest son didn't tell you." Wen Bin smiled.
"Keeping achievements is nothing, and I will never dare to do such appalling things! Where did General Wen get these things?" Pang Xianggong stared at Wen Bin.
"I just said that I came to look for Mr. Pang this time because I was entrusted by the prince." Wen Bin said with a smile: "The prince was attacked and the cannon was used. The Changzhou army rushed to the rescue in time and captured many gangsters. The gangsters revealed the truth behind the scenes.
The chief envoy, Zhu Weishan, Shi Ziye rushed to Zhu's house overnight, got Zhu Weishan and his son, and had them escorted to Beijing.
"The prince's letter stated that there were more than a dozen servants and stewards of the Zhu family who were escorted to the capital by Zhu Weishan and his son, all of whom were insiders or handlers, as well as the seized correspondence and items between the capital and the Zhu family, etc.
, several cars of physical evidence."
Wenbin looked at Xianggong Pang, who was turning blue, for a moment, and then continued: "Xiangong Pang knows best whether he colluded with the Jiangnan Silk Head Office, wreaked havoc in Jiangnan, and robbed and killed the prince. Is it true or is it just a slander?
"The prince has traveled thousands of miles to deliver this urgent message. Please let me tell Xianggong Pang first. The Pang family has been the pillar of the country since the founding of the country. The prince said that he could not bear to have the foundation of the Pang family shaken."
"Shou Cheng can't end like this!" Pang Xianggong's voice became low.
"It seems that your husband really doesn't know." Wen Bin stood up, "It will take a few more days for Zhu Weishan and others to arrive in the capital, and there is still time for my husband to inquire and find out. I will leave first."
Mr. Pang watched Wen Bin leave the house, reached out and grabbed the stack of confessions, scanned them again, folded them a few times, stuffed them into his sleeve pocket, stood up, ordered his attendants to ask the uncle to go back to the house immediately, and got in the car.
, hurried back.
Pang Xiang's eldest son, Pang Shoucheng, was urgently summoned home by his father. As soon as he entered the second gate, Pang Xiang's close aide, Chang Sui, was already waiting. After receiving the gift in a hurry, he took Pang Shoucheng straight to the small study inside the second gate. p>
When the Chang Sui arrived at the door of the small study, he stopped, bowed and motioned for Pang Shoucheng to come in.
Pang Shoucheng turned around the screen wall and looked at his father standing in the corridor with a gloomy face. His heart beat a few times and he felt an ominous feeling.
Watching Pang Shoucheng go up the steps, Pang Xiang asked with a pout, "You want Zhu Weishan to kill the prince?"
Pang Shoucheng was startled, "No."
Pang Xiangmeng breathed a sigh of relief, "I just thought that you wouldn't be so stupid."
Pang Shoucheng swallowed, looked at his father, and hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?" Pang Xiang's heart started to rise again.
"No... no, what happened? Why did dad ask like that?" Pang Shoucheng asked with concern.
"What did you do?" Pang Xiang's voice was stern. "Don't hide it from me, tell me quickly!"
"No, it's said that there is a girl. Laojun looked at that Taoist priest Cao and made a divination, saying yes, I was thinking about that, a little girl, just in case, it is a little girl." Pang Shoucheng became panicked when his father stared at him.
.
"Which little girl did you ask Zhu Weishan to kill?" Pang Xiangqi's fingers felt cold.
"It's not a robbery, I just asked Zhu Weishan to pay attention. If there is a chance..."
Pang Xiang raised his hand and slapped Pang Shoucheng on the face.
"Honestly, did you write a letter, or was it someone else's message? Tell me clearly!" Pang Xiangqi's hands started to shake.
"I sent a message to Lin Wang to let Zhu Weishan pay attention. I didn't say he wanted to kill him." Pang Shoucheng knelt down.
He didn't say anything about it, but if his father knew about it and was so angry, it could only mean that the matter was exposed and someone came to visit him.
"How dare you!" Pang Xiang was so angry that his eyes turned black.
"Taoist Master Cao said that that little girl is the lifeblood of the Crown Prince. I was thinking..." Before Pang Shoucheng could finish his explanation, he was slapped back by Prime Minister Pang again.
"Kneel down when you go in! Don't get up without me!" Pang Xiang kicked Pang Shoucheng in the chest, walked around him, and hurried out.
He has to find General Wen quickly.
Wenbin stood at the door of the study, looked at Pang Xiang, whose face was ashen, took a step to the side, and leaned forward to let Pang Xiang enter the room.
After entering the room, Pang Xiang turned around, bowed his head to Wen Bin who followed him in, and said, "I don't know how to teach my son."
"I don't dare to accept it. I am just entrusted by the prince, and I cannot accept it as a gift from my husband." Wen Bin took a step aside.
"The evil son is not disrespecting the prince. No matter what, he would not dare to be disrespectful to the prince. It's just a mistake and misunderstanding." Pang Xiang leaned over and explained.
"I said, I was only entrusted by the Crown Prince." After a pause, Wen Bin smiled and said: "I think the Crown Prince must know exactly what is going on, Mr. Pang, don't you think so?"
"Yes, I wonder what the prince means?" Mr. Pang looked dejected.
General Wen is right, the prince must know exactly who his evil son wants to kill, but the confession says it is the prince, Prince Rui, and this is his attitude.
"The prince said that the Pang family has been the pillar of the country since the founding of the country. The foundation of the Pang family should not be ruined just because of one or two unworthy sons.
"The prince said that for the sake of the overall situation, he is willing to step back and settle the matter. He only wants the eldest son's legs." Wen Bin said in a gentle voice.
Mr. Pang raised his hands to cover his face. After a while, he slowly nodded, "This is the generosity of the prince."
"Your Majesty, this is due to the fact that my husband has devoted himself to serving the country." Wen Bin bowed slightly, and there was something in his words.
"I understand. Thank you, General." Pang Xiang pressed hard on the armrest of the chair, stood up slowly, and bowed to Wen Bin.
"Don't take it seriously, I'll take my husband out." Wen Bin stretched out a hand to support Mr. Pang, and walked him to the second door and got into the car.
