Back at the mansion, Zhang Mingpu changed into a set of dry clothes under the service of the maid, drank a cup of tea, then locked himself in the study, and ordered his servants to stand guard at the door, and no one was allowed to enter and disturb him.
He studied the ink himself, placed the paperweight on top of the stationery, picked up a small pen, and pondered for a long time, then he started writing, and an impeachment memorial was written in a moment.
Put down the brush, dried the ink stains, and read it carefully. I increasingly felt that the words and sentences were extremely suitable. It not only reflected my loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, but also showed that Pei Xingjian and the navy abused torture and forced confessions to death.
The description is extremely evil...
Carefully put the memorial into a large envelope and put it in a brocade bag. All he had to do was wait for the news of Wang Jingxun's death to be sent to his trusted servants to quickly send the memorial to Chang'an and present it to his uncle Changsun Wu.
Ji, according to Changsun Wuji's wisdom, will definitely be able to provide the most perfect and tacit cooperation. Even if he cannot get Fang Jun involved and fight him to the end, he can still damage his foundation.
At the very least, Pei Xingjian, who is Fang Jun's right-hand man, will definitely have to bear the heavy responsibility of losing the Sky-shattering Thunder and forcing the Taiyuan Wang family's children to death. The political future of this most outstanding son of the Hedong Pei family can basically be cut off and lost to everyone.
…
As long as Wang Jingxun dies, everything will be flawless.
The only thing to worry about is the group of men who attacked the navy warehouse. No information has been received yet...
However, Zhang Mingpu was not worried. Judging from the reactions of Pei Xingjian and the navy, the bid must have been successful. However, the navy reacted too quickly, blocking waterways all night long, and it rained heavily.
It is normal for someone to be stuck in a certain place and unable to send information.
Calculating the time, after the poison enters the abdomen, it will take half an hour until the layer of wax covering the outside gradually melts, and then the poison will take effect.
This is a chronic and highly toxic poison that will not cause an attack on the spot after being swallowed. Otherwise, Zhang Mingpu himself would not be able to escape. As long as he leaves the prison, no matter how Wang Jingxun dies, the whole Navy will not be able to escape its involvement. Without conclusive evidence,
, no one can do anything to him.
Zhang Mingpu put the memorial away. This thing had to wait until the news of Wang Jingxun's death came before he could send it out. Otherwise, how could he explain that he sent this memorial out before the man was dead?
No flaw is allowed to exist. Previously, because of his carelessness, he failed to deal with Wang Jingxun in time, so he was caught by Pei Xingjian, resulting in his current passivity. Therefore, Zhang Mingpu is very cautious now. Anyway, there is something wrong.
At this moment, everything must be handled perfectly.
He ordered people to go to the kitchen to prepare some side dishes and boil a pot of rice wine. After running around for a day, not only his legs were weak, but his stomach was empty like thunder. Zhang Mingpu sat alone behind the desk, opened the window, and looked at
The scene of the heavy rain leaning on the flower trees in the garden, while you drink by yourself comfortably.
However, before he could finish half the bottle of wine, a servant came in a hurry and told him a piece of news that was like a thunderbolt from the sky hitting his head...
"What did you say?"
Zhang Mingpu held a small wine glass in one hand and looked at the servant in disbelief with his eyes like copper bells.
The servant didn't know about his master's operation. He just took it as a piece of news: "I just went to buy food. I heard that Wang Jingxun, who was captured by the navy earlier, has been put into the navy prison. The navy soldiers
His house was confiscated, and many thunderbolts were dug out from under his bed..."
"Crack!"
Zhang Mingpu was stunned, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered, but he didn't even notice.
It was like a thunderbolt came into the house and hit him on the head on a rainy day outside. His whole brain was confused...
How could there be thunder in Wang Jingxun’s home?!
Absolutely impossible!
The identity of the group of people who sneaked into the dock of Huating Town is the most mysterious. It is impossible for them to come into contact with anyone except themselves. Those people have not been able to be contacted now. Even if they sneak back to Suzhou City privately, they must contact themselves.
How could he hide the sky-shattering thunder in Wang Jingxun’s home?
Zhang Mingpu was puzzled.
Immediately, a greater crisis enveloped his whole body, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his liver and gallbladder became cold, because he thought of Wang Jingxun, who was about to die from the poison...
Before that, Wang Jingxun died in the navy prison. The navy abused torture and extorted confessions to death. Even if the navy had a hundred mouths, they would never be able to escape their guilt after the person died. However, now, in Wang Jingxun's home,
The stolen Sky Thunder was discovered, so Wang Jingxun's death was suicide out of fear of crime.
One was forced to confess to death, and the other committed suicide out of fear of guilt. They are completely different in nature!
Especially after he had just visited Wang Jingxun in prison, he died immediately. After his death, it was revealed that the stolen thunder was hidden in his home, which would immediately involve him.
Zhang Mingpu's whole body shivered, and his fear turned into boundless cold, soaking into his whole body, and he was out of his mind.
*****
The rain stopped for a while.
The entire Wusong River was churning, and naval warships quickly sailed out of the military port. On the deck, in the cabins, teams of soldiers wore helmets and armor, fully armed, and sailed down the Wusong River waterway and into the Yangtze River.
Among them, the troops then divided into two groups, marched all the way up the river, went straight to Suzhou City, and then flowed all the way out to the sea and rushed to Qiantang!
In the evening, the navy forcefully entered Suzhou, Haiyu Town, Wuxi, Qiantang and other cities, sealing up all the properties of the Taiyuan Wang family in the entire Jiangnan area, closing shops, and inventorying goods in warehouses. All the descendants of the Taiyuan Wang family in Jiangnan,
Arrest them all and put them in jail!
For a time, the situation in Jiangnan was tense and public opinion was in an uproar.
…
In the Suzhou government office, Mu Yuanzuo looked at Su Dingfang wearing a helmet and armor in front of him with a headache, poured tea for him with a wry smile, and said: "Why is this? Why is it so?"
The Navy dispatched half of its troops to seal up all the Taiyuan Wang family's properties in the south of the Yangtze River, in the name of thoroughly investigating the theft of Zhentian Lei. But in fact, who can't see that this is revenge?
If you Wang family members dare to plot against our navy, then the navy must fight you back!
It is true that with the courage of the navy, he will not suffer the loss of being dumb, and it is natural to find it face to face, but in this way, the entire Jiangnan will be in chaos, and all the Jiangnan nobles will be in danger, lest they have the same relationship with the Wang family of Taiyuan in the past.
He was caught by the navy telling stories and was heavily implicated.
As the governor of Suzhou, Mu Yuanzuo's first task was to stabilize the situation. However, after the navy's actions, the whole Jiangnan was in chaos. Some people roared angrily, cursing the navy for bullying others, while others were frightened.
For fear that the navy would be implicated, some people remained silent, but they had already prepared impeachment memorials to be sent to Chang'an...
If the Navy is allowed to continue like this, regardless of the final outcome of this case, Mu Yuanzuo will not be able to escape the blame for "poor handling".
Su Dingfang nodded slightly and thanked Mu Yuanzuo for offering tea. He seemed polite, but his tone was cold and forceful: "As the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy, I am really lucky to be invited by heaven. Thanks to His Majesty's trust, I should speak with caution.
Be cautious and conscientious, and handle all the matters assigned by His Majesty. Now you have forgotten the bottom line, acted unscrupulously, and regarded the king's law as nothing. You are really a traitor! If you don't ring the bell for those people, how can you wake up their lost minds?
?I also know that this matter will bring a lot of inconvenience to the governor, but this matter is related to Erlang's future, and I cannot tolerate any more mistakes. The arrow is on the string and I have to shoot it. I hope the governor will not be surprised."
Mu Yuanzuo shook his head and sighed, having nothing to say.
He had no right to control the Royal Navy, and now all the disadvantages in the situation were vaguely pointed at Fang Jun. As an ally, Fang Jun was also his biggest supporter in the court. How could he worry about being dragged down and ask Su Dingfang to do so?
Quit all activities and let the Wang family go?
After all, it is somewhat unjustifiable that he sent Shangguan Yi to meet Pei Xingjian instead of personally handling the matter...
Moreover, judging from the tone of Su Dingfang's application, this powerful man with a large number of troops in the south of the Yangtze River was also dissatisfied with himself.
Mu Yuanzuo felt bitter in his heart, but he did not dare to show it on his face. He nodded repeatedly and said: "It's true. Someone is trying to frame Erlang, and you and I are our enemies over there! What about the Wang family in Taiyuan? How dare you instruct the children in the family to commit lawlessness?
, the law cannot tolerate it!”
Now Su Dingfang's behavior of sending troops into the city seems to be arrogant, but in fact it is moral. If Wang Jingxun's house is found with a hidden Thunder Thunder, then he will not be able to get rid of his involvement in this case, and all the Taiyuan Wang family's properties in Jiangnan will be seized.
, is the intended meaning of the title. Who knows whether Wang Jingxun’s behavior is limited to him alone, or whether it is connected with the family?
