"What crime? The crime of negligence in the Maoyuan Mountain incident?"
"No, he lied about his military exploits in the battle with the Western Bandit King's Division."
"Oh my God, how can that be a lie about military merit?"
Just after the emperor roared angrily, the closed palace door could not stop the news from spreading. In a blink of an eye, everyone in the Zhongshu Menxia Zhengshi Hall, the most convenient place in the palace, knew about it.
This is a big event. Compared with this, things like Maoyuan Mountain and the miraculous doctor's wife causing thunder are nothing more than child's play.
Lying about military merit is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. The Zhou Dynasty treated scholars favorably and did not kill civil servants, but it dared to attack military generals. It was possible to kill a general without justifiable reasons, let alone lying about military merit, which was such a serious crime.
Why did he lie about military merit? Yes, he lied about military merit, but wasn't he talking about Fang Zhonghe's lie about military merit in the Battle of Linguan Village? Why did it become a battle with the Northwest King's Division again?
Standing in the court hall, Gao Lingbo was still a little confused.
"...At that time, the scouts from the west came to report first. It was estimated that there were five thousand bandits in the west, and our Longgu generals had tens of thousands of soldiers. Compared with the two, we would definitely win a great victory. We were eager to win, so we gave the order before other scouts came to report.
The army comes out of camp..."
"...After receiving the beacon fire at Guanzhai and the urgent report from the courier, I realized that not only did I not outflank the Western Bandits, but I was outflanked by the Western Bandit Army instead..."
"…. There are two thousand soldiers of the Western Bandits in front, and eight thousand people of the main force of the King of Western Bandits behind, who rush to fight..."
"...The Western bandits massacred two forts, and our army injured thousands of people..."
"...Longgu City was defended, and the West Thieves King's army finally retreated. To say that they were defeated, in fact, it can be said that the two sides were in a stalemate, neither winning nor losing..."
"...If this battle had been carefully investigated in advance, the Western thieves would not have fallen into the trap, and if the arrangements had been made well, there would have been no heavy casualties..."
"...As an inspector, I am eager for success and gain. I am deeply favored by His Majesty but I do not want to repay..."
The high-pitched voice of the chamberlain echoed in the hall.
This is nonsense! This is a frame-up! No, no, this is confusing!
Even so, they still won after all, and they defended Longgu City, so they still won. What kind of lied about their military exploits!
"If it wasn't a false report, then why did everyone keep the Linguan Village thing a secret and refused to investigate or report it? Why did they force the Maoyuanshan brothers to come to the capital!"
The emperor said slowly, his eyes falling on Gao Lingbo.
Gao Lingbo's heart skipped a beat, as if some thoughts in his chaotic mind had become clear.
"...I also said that the delivery was really fast this time. It turned out that I was in a hurry. I didn't want to check it out..."
The emperor's voice then fell from above and hit Gao Lingbo on the head, coaxing him to understand completely.
I see!
Gao Lingbo suddenly looked at Chen Shao.
Chen Shao!
Fooled!
He had been leading the emperor to think about the loving relationship between Chen Shao and Mrs. Cheng, but why didn't Chen Shao also let himself think so!
Fooled!
I always thought that Chen Shao wanted to keep Mrs. Cheng, and then he used this incident at Linguan Village in Maoyuan Mountain to drag her into trouble, but Chen Shao didn't think so too!
What the hell, for Mrs. Cheng and Maoyuan Mountain, he just wanted the Northwest Economic and Strategy Department to admit that the Linguan Village incident was real!
If this is confirmed, the emperor's suspicion will be confirmed!
If what happened in Linguan Village is true, what other things are true?
If Linguan Village can be kept hidden, what other things should be kept hidden?
It's actually nothing to lie about military merit. It's not a big deal and it's not scary. Not to mention that Zhou Fengxiang is the only one who has confessed now. Even if the Northwest Economic and Strategy Department all pleads guilty, it's not scary either.
What is most terrifying is the emperor’s suspicion!
This time the Northwest Economic and Strategy Department aroused suspicion in the emperor, and any future actions or words would inevitably arouse suspicion in the emperor's heart.
This damn thing has dug up the foundation of the Northwest Economic and Strategy Department!
Gao Lingbo had the desire to kill in an instant and wished he could eat Chen Shao alive on the spot!
How come...how come...how come it's like this!
How did he do it? How did he do it under his own eyes!
It seemed that he was in control of his own plan every step of the way, so he let his guard down, and he actually took advantage of him!
He set his sights on Chen Shao and the lady who was a miracle doctor. Regardless of the Maoyuan Mountain incident, the emperor was disgusted with Chen Shao and Lady Cheng. He thought that this was a sure win, but he didn't expect that the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole were there.
back!
Chen Shao! Gao Lingbo gritted his teeth in hatred.
The closed palace doors and palace gates could not prevent the news from spreading in the court. Zhou Fengxiang went to plead guilty and pointed out that the Northwest Economic and Strategy Department's false report of military achievements spread like the wind. In the court where there was already a turmoil.
In the middle of the game, a bigger storm arose.
"Okay, Zhou Fengxiang is really willing to go all out this time. This will help his future."
"Ms. Chen's move was so cruel and accurate. It really caught the Northwest Economic and Strategy Department off guard and didn't even have a chance to fight back."
"If you give up Zhou Fengxiang in exchange for Jiang Wenyuan, no, no, there will be more than one Jiang Wenyuan. Jiang Wenyuan's entire faction will be in turmoil. This deal is worth it."
"Not only this time, but also in the past. This time the military merits were lied. How many of the previous ones were true or false?"
"Also, it just happened that His Majesty had just been suffocated because of the matter of the Maoyuan Mountain brothers and had lost face in front of the people of the world... He was worried that he had no place to express his anger... The Northwest Economic and Strategic Department had such a big
Their faces are brought up... Your Majesty will not be able to deal with them unless you beat them..."
"That's it. There will definitely be a big investigation this time."
"I might be sent to prison..."
"How many do you think there will be?"
"I thought this matter was settled, but I didn't expect that this was just the beginning!"
All kinds of words were spread among the officials, and one day later, they even spread to restaurants and tea shops.
"...If nothing else, at least that unlucky Lu Zheng is fine and will be regarded as loyal and wise..."
Zhang family, Mrs. Zhang said to a Qingke staff member.
The Qingke staff nodded.
"Lu Zheng not only saved his life this time, but also got his official position restored," he said.
Old Mrs. Zhang shook his head.
"He is also capable of competing for the position of the next Yushi Zhongcheng." He said.
At this point, the two looked at each other and smiled.
The girl who was listening could no longer bear it.
"Master, master, where is my wife?" she asked anxiously. She didn't care about Lu Zheng or the Northwest Economic and Strategy Department. She just wanted to know how the emperor sentenced her wife.
Old Mrs. Zhang looked at her and then at the guest.
"You see, after three or four years, we are still not someone else's home..." He smiled.
After three or four years, the girl has long been familiar with Mrs. Zhang's temperament. She didn't panic or be afraid after hearing this, but sat two steps forward.
"Master, I'm stupid, please stop teasing me." She said with red eyes.
"Banqin, it's okay. Lu Zheng is suing Fang, and so is your wife. He is fine now, and your wife is naturally fine too." Qingke said with a smile.
The girl looked at Old Mrs. Zhang, who nodded at her. Then she cried with joy and put her hands together to chant the Buddha's name.
"Although she is fine."
Seeing the girl running away happily, Qingke shook his head and said.
"It's good that I haven't left anything behind."
Mrs. Zhang twisted his beard and said nothing with a meaningful look on his face.
"No matter what happens in the northwest this time, whoever gains or loses, she will not be in good luck. Your Majesty and the courtiers will all remember how this happened." Qingke said, "Since then,
It was doomed from the moment she used her fame to stir up this incident."
Using fame to threaten trouble was taboo, disgusting and not allowed in the eyes of the imperial court.
"So she was used as a knife?" Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "But the matter of the Maoyuanshan brothers has finally been explained."
"But what's the point of that explanation?" Qingke said.
"The reason why we got it is the meaning." Mrs. Zhang said, patting the books on several cases, "Isn't it that what she wants is an explanation of the matter of the Maoyuan Mountain brothers?"
Qing Ke took a look and saw that it was a scroll of Taiping Jing.
"Besides, it doesn't matter whether you are alive or dead, big or small." Old Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "This knife is so sharp."
"Do you know what they did?"
At the same time, in Cheng Jiaoniang's house in Yudaiqiao, Zhou Lang said.
"What things?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.
"Who exaggerated and promoted your reputation, who arrested Xu Sigan, who arranged for the officers and soldiers to add fuel to the flames, who encouraged the people to build a shrine for you in Taiyi Palace..." Zhou Lang said through gritted teeth, his hands on his knees tightly.
Grab it.
Everyone has them, those who are hostile, those who should be kind, those who are hostile, those who are kind...
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled.
"I don't need to know," she said.
"But they benefit from stepping on you!" Zhou Lang said through gritted teeth, "This will destroy you. You won't be able to stay in the capital any longer."
Fan Jianglin, who was walking to the door, stopped when he heard these words.
"Sister." He shouted, clenching the hand holding the door.
Is it because of this incident that I will be expelled?
"I can be wherever I want, and no one and nothing can make me inconvenient." Cheng Jiaoniang said, standing up, "Also, I don't care what others get from me, I only care that I have
I didn’t get what I wanted.”
I don't care what others get, I only care about whether I get it and whether I achieve my goal.
"You are very open-minded." Zhou Lang said with a snort, "I really didn't know you were so generous."
"You are the one who is stingy, and you are also the one who is obsessed with certain things." Qin Shisanlang, who had been silent for the whole time, smiled at this time, reached out and patted his shoulder and stood up.
Yes, he remembered everything by himself, and it was all his own troubles. In the eyes of this woman, he never cared.
Zhou Lang waved his hands, stood up and walked away.
"I guess you have to wait a little longer for what you want." Qin Shisanlang smiled and said farewell to Cheng Jiaoniang.
Because of Zhou Fengxiang's incident, Zhongshu's subordinates were no longer able to care about anything else. The reward for the five people from Maoyuan Mountain that was supposed to be settled immediately was naturally postponed.
"Well, there's no rush." Cheng Jiaoniang said with a smile and returned the courtesy.
Which one is not urgent? Which one is urgent?
Qin Shisanlang looked at her and smiled knowingly, so she wanted more than this. She also wanted what Chen Shao and others wanted.
As I said before, she is not the knife, she is the person who makes the knife.
Poor people in the Northwest Economic and Strategy Department, they don't know how stingy this lady is.

PS: The girl’s sneer at the end of the last chapter has been changed. I just sneered to myself and forgot that the heroine doesn’t like to laugh. Haha, why don’t you download it again. Although the details have nothing to do with the plot, it will make you feel more comfortable. Thank you for reminding me.
