"Yes! This booklet has been in my hands for many years, and it's time for it to see the light of day again!" Yanbi took out the booklet from her arms and handed it to Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu glanced at her, and then suddenly asked: "Are you literate?"
"I am illiterate and have never read the contents of this booklet, let alone shown it to others." Yanbi waved her hands quickly. She knew that this booklet was very important, how could she dare to let others read it? Once it is leaked, wait and see
Hers was a fatal disaster.
Gu Chengyu nodded, "I have ordered people to arrange a residence for you. Please do not move around in the near future until this matter is settled and you can go back."
Yanbi was a little panicked when she heard this. She knew that this was going to temporarily imprison her. But she also knew that this was to protect her life. After all, the content in this booklet must have involved some high-ranking officials of the court. If someone found out
If the book is from her hand, then her life is in danger.
After asking Yanbi about what happened back then, and seeing that her description was similar to that of Xue Miao, Gu Chengyu had her taken away.
Half a month has passed, and the investigation is actually almost complete. Some of the officials involved in the previous letters did have problems, but some have not found anything wrong so far. Now that I have this booklet, I hope
It can bring him new breakthroughs.
Opening the booklet in his hand, Gu Chengyu found that it was another list, and the list also contained details of the collusion between these people and Daxing. Gu Chengyu took a look at it and found that there were specific details in it that were no different from what he had found. It was just that among them
There were a few things that Gu Chengyu didn't find inappropriate, and there were no relevant records here.
Gu Chengyu read down word by word, and suddenly found a name below: Zhu Kui, the left minister of the Ministry of War?
He pinched the edge of the book tightly and read it calmly. When he saw the evidence listed later, he couldn't help but pursed his lips tightly and fell into deep thought.
Gu Chengyu calmed down, and after thinking about it for a long time, he discovered that the booklet only listed the specific time when these officials colluded with Daxing and the amount of bribes they received. What was done in it was not detailed. Gu Chengyu frowned, could it be that here
Incriminating evidence is incomplete?
Gu Chengyu turned the book to the end, but did not find that there was any other evidence hidden in it. Suddenly, Gu Chengyu discovered that there was something unusual about the last stroke of the character Chu on the last page.
He immediately recalled the evidence he had obtained from Xue Shuyao before, and the last stroke of the character Chu in it was obviously different from this.
The last stroke of the character Chu is not only sharp, but also has a slight hook. But the one here is a bit flat and does not look sharp enough, but it is more delicate.
He had a vague guess in his mind, so he turned the book to the front and checked it carefully. Finally, he found two more differences.
Even though the characters in this album were imitated to the best of their ability, they were always lacking in charm. Sometimes they seemed to forget to imitate, so he found two places.
Gu Chengyu sneered. This booklet was definitely not Xue Haozhen's handwriting. No wonder he felt strange before. There was already a list, so why is there another list now? And the names in it overlapped with the previous ones. Most of them were trying to be true or false.
, fooled around.
Then why did this person do this, and who did it? Did this booklet originally exist, or is there something wrong with Yanbi?
Gu Chengyu tapped his index finger on the table, "Mingmo!"
"Your Majesty!" Ming Mo opened the door and came in, saluting Gu Chengyu.
"You go and interrogate Yanbi! I suspect there is something wrong with her. This booklet is not written by Xue Haozhen! By the way, can Gu Wanhua comfort him? He is obsessed with this woman. If he comes to the capital after him, he will be in trouble.
"
Ming Mo was stunned for a moment, "Ahem! Your Majesty, he didn't know that Yanbi had arrived in the capital and we took her away. He didn't know."
Gu Chengyu:
He actually brought the person here like this. I wonder if Gu Wanhua would go crazy if he found out that the person was missing.
"Pop!" "Pap!" "Pap!"
The whip struck the person, making a sound of cracking in the air, and with the sound of tiny sns, the woman forced herself to open her eyes, "I'll do it!"
"Your Majesty, she did it. This woman was bribed by Yang Shiqi, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, two months ago. Yang Shiqi wanted evidence of her crime, but the evidence of crime was actually on Xue Shuyao. Where could she have it? Therefore, she
A fake certificate was made because she had read through those letters before and still remembered part of the contents. As for the parts that were not in the original letters, they were made up by her. Then she gave the booklet to Yang Shiqi, and then she
I made a copy."
Mingmo gave Yanbi's confession to Gu Chengyu. Gu Chengyu read it carefully and said, "She still hasn't told the truth. Let's go to trial again!"
There is no doubt that Yanbi is literate. But the list in this booklet cannot be drawn up by a housewife like her. If she really remembers it, she can just rewrite it. Why bother with it?
"Eh? Which house is this? There has been a lot of turmoil in the noble houses of these aristocratic families in the capital recently!" A commoner sighed as he watched the officers and soldiers of the Military and Horse Division rush into the Yang Mansion.
The imperial court has gone crazy recently and has raided the residences of several officials.
"Hey! Are you ignorant about this? It is said that these officials are traitors who have colluded with Daxing. The court has obtained the evidence and wants to confiscate the homes of these people and exterminate their clans! Hey! Let me tell you, these officials don't look at their ordinary scenery.
Infinite, high and above, but once he commits a crime, it will be a serious crime of beheading and killing the nine tribes! Tsk tsk!" A person next to him immediately sighed.
"How do you know?"
"My nephew works in the Army and Horses Division. Why don't you know about it? Didn't a girl file a complaint some time ago? It is said that" this man was talking enthusiastically, but he suddenly stopped talking in the middle of the sentence.
He stopped talking. Then he seemed to remember something, his face changed, and he raised his legs to leave.
"Hey! Don't leave in a hurry! Why didn't you say anything?" The people around him were attracted by his words. Halfway through his words, everyone felt heart-wrenching.
"Oh! I can't say, this involves court secrets. Anyway, we will know when the notice comes out."
In the first year of Emperor Xizong's reign, on the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, the case of Xue's wife caused a sensation in the capital. Ten officials had colluded with Daxing. These people were secretly dormant in the court and passed information to Daxing.
The emperor was furious. Regardless of the mastermind or the accomplices, they all ransacked their homes and exterminated their families. The Queen of Autumn asked and beheaded them as a warning to others! For this reason, the imperial court went through another major purge.
Xue Shuyao, wearing a bamboo hat, stood in front of the imperial edict with tears in her eyes. The Xue family finally had a pnn. Seeing that the crowd was getting more and more crowded, there was even more discussion around them.
Some said that the Xue family had been unfairly wronged for many years, and was finally redressed. Others said that the Xue family did not know how to restrain their clan members and had already lost their good reputation.
In any case, Mrs. Xue no longer has to bear the charge of collaborating with the enemy. She pressed her hat and walked out of the crowd.
"Please stay here, girl. My prince said that there are no bones left of the Xue family. The imperial court is considerate of the girl and can help her build a Xue family cemetery and build a cenotaph for the Xue family members."
Xue Shuyao smiled with tears in her eyes when she heard this. She knew this was what Gu Chengyu meant. This person was indeed not as ruthless as he appeared.13
