Chapter 86 Appointment

“The magistrate of Zhending County said that he arrested those people and interrogated them as pirates, but he found seven-pointed stars on them.

Later, Fu Mingchang went to ask for the person.

Because of the special identities of these people, the county magistrate did not hand them over to Fu Mingchang at the time. He also thought it was strange for Fu Mingchang to ask for them, so he moved those people to other cells. As a precaution, he placed soul-bewitching incense in the original cells. "

The prison breakers who were unaware of the truth rushed in and were trapped by the incense.

Having said this, the last bit of doubt in the emperor's mind was completely dispelled. After all, this method of capture was exactly the same way the Zhending County Magistrate used to catch spies two years ago.

A raging fire of rage burned in my heart.

"Do you think the Xishan Camp's case of stealing and selling military rations can be resolved?"

The Minister of Justice hurriedly reported back, "The person Fu Mingchang brought to rob the prison was a waiter from the Lai Fu Inn in Zhending."

Zhending Lai Fu Inn, the address where Zhao Chunming met someone at that time.

In order to investigate the identity of the merchant, the Minister of Justice has been sending people to keep an eye on the Lai Fu Inn, and the emperor is well aware of this.

Fu Mingchang, a spy from Southern Liang, Zhenguogong Mansion!

good!

Very good!

The emperor picked up something at hand and threw it out, "Call the Duke of Zhenguo to me!"

Upon hearing this, the chief eunuch went there immediately, but before he reached the door, the emperor suddenly called him again.

The emperor stood gloomily in front of the table, his hands supporting the table, anger wrapped around him, "No need to go, prepare for the morning court."

After that, he gritted his teeth and ordered the Minister of Justice, "You don't have to go to the morning court. Interrogate those people immediately. Interrogate Fu Mingchang and the guys from Lai Fu Inn to death!"

The Minister of Justice was ordered to leave.

As soon as he left, the emperor fell heavily into the chair behind him.

The sudden silence in the imperial study reminded him of something.

At that time, Su Qingqing was defeated in the war, and news came from the front that Su Qingqing had colluded with Southern Liang and surrendered to the enemy, which led to the failure of the war.

At that time, there were both witnesses and evidence, and the person who provided the witnesses and evidence was Su Qingqing's biological father Su Yunhe. He convicted Su Qingqing in anger.

Later, Su Qingqing's generals went to the capital to appeal for justice. Someone said to them that the only one Su Qingqing's generals were loyal to was Su Qingqing...

At that time, he was so filled with rage that he lost his rationality. Even after that incident, when he thought about it again in the dead of night, he still had some vague doubts, but those doubts were quickly covered up by the overwhelming evidence.

But now, he was wavering.

Is Su Qingqing really plotting a rebellion?

If it was Su Qingqing who was plotting a rebellion, then why did Fu Mingchang have contacts with the spies of Southern Liang? When Fu Mingchang was going to the Zhending prison to break out of the prison, he even used people from Lai Fu Inn!

Fu Mingchang , Zhao Chunming, and the Duke of Zhenguo are clearly on the same line.

The emperor felt a breath of air stuck in his chest, and he felt as if his heart was hit by a sledgehammer.

He might have done one thing wrong.

After regaining consciousness, the emperor asked the chief eunuch: "Where were those people from the Su family army who were imprisoned at that time?"

The chief eunuch immediately said, "Three are in prison, and have not yet been convicted."

There are three closed ones.

The rest are all dead.

The emperor suddenly clenched his fists, but had no place to vent his anger.

The morning court arrived as scheduled, but the Duke of Zhenguo still knew nothing about it.

In the Golden Palace, after kneeling three times and kowtowed nine times, the Emperor rushed straight to the Duke of Zhenguo without waiting for anyone else to say anything. The Emperor was furious, the court was shocked, and the entire Golden Palace was wrapped in a strong atmosphere of hostility.

The Duke of Zhenguo didn't even have time to react before he was hit on the head.

Fu Mingchang was arrested!

Fu Mingchang was arrested?

How could that be!

Why was Fu Mingchang arrested for no reason?

Who caught it!

Questions popped up in his mind one after another, and the Duke of Zhenguo stood there with a pale face, unable to help shaking.

The emperor was furious, but he did not confront the Duke of Zhenguo head-on.

He is the emperor, but he knows that there is something wrong with the Duke of Zhenguo but cannot take him down. The reason is sad and lamentable. Two years ago, he personally gave Su Qingqing's military power to the Duke of Zhenguo, and now, he is reaping the consequences.

This anger was mixed with the regret that was gushing out of the emperor's heart. For the first time, he cursed for a full hour in the Golden Palace and then adjourned the court.

The Duke of Zhenguo colluded with Fu Mingchang to steal and sell military rations. Not all of the Duke of Zhenguo's followers knew about it, but after the court was dismissed, the Duke of Zhenguo spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered all over the Golden Throne Hall before he fell headfirst. This is thought-provoking.

Unfortunately, the second prince was under house arrest again.

For a moment, the Zhenguo Gong Party was like a frightened bird, not knowing what to do.

The emperor returned to the imperial study after court, and the Minister of Justice followed him in.

Fu Mingchang confessed.

The military rations for the Xishan camp were taken away by Zhao Chunming at the instruction of the Duke of Zhenguo and with his tacit consent.

The party that received the military rations were people from Nanliang disguised as merchants.

The Duke of Zhenguo raised private soldiers in Beimeng Mountain.

All these military rations were taken to Beimengshan for use by private soldiers.

The emperor never expected this to be the result!

Raising private soldiers!

Collude with Nanliang!

Any one of these charges is enough to get the Duke of Zhenguo killed!

Kill them by exterminating nine generations of their clan.

Soon, the Queen Mother and the Empress got the news, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went straight to the study together.

The Queen Mother is the Duke of Zhenguo's younger sister, and the Queen is the Duke of Zhenguo's daughter.

The two women cried together and pleaded for mercy for the Duke of Zhenguo.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne in a rage, looking at the two women in front of him, and suddenly realized something.

His mother, his queen, and his second prince are not close to him!

Their hearts are all united, they belong to the party of the Duke of Zhenguo and the party of the Second Prince.

And he was the one they needed to please and deal with.

An hour later, the Imperial Study issued the latest punishment for the case of stealing and selling military rations in the Xishan Camp.

Fu Mingchang, the commander of the Xishan camp, colluded with Southern Liang spies, surrendered to the enemy and committed treason, embezzled the property, and had his entire clan exterminated and his property confiscated.

The Queen Mother was so grief-stricken and angry over the military rations issue that she was physically and mentally damaged. She went to Lotus Mountain to recuperate, accompanied by the Empress , and her return date is uncertain.

The prince of the Zhenguo Mansion fell seriously ill at night and died in the military camp due to lack of medical treatment. The Northwest Military Authority was temporarily handed over to Gao Tiankuo, the deputy lieutenant general of the Xishan Military Camp.

When the news came out, the whole court was shocked.

The Queen and the Queen Mother were obviously punished to go to Lotus Mountain to meditate.

As for the Young Master of the Zhenguo Mansion, what emergency is there? It is obviously to give up military power.

However, the person who took over the military power was shocking and puzzling.

The sky is high and vast?

Isn’t this person from the Su family army?

What does the emperor mean? Why did he want to use a member of the Su family army?

The next day, when the imperial edict of appointment was delivered to Gao Tiankuo, he was sent back to the Xishan camp by Su Qingqing.

As for how to get back, how to explain how I left the dungeon...

Zhao Chunming and Fu Mingchang have both been arrested, who dares to ask him!

Three days later, another imperial edict was issued, shocking the entire court into unrest.

The new commander of the Xishan camp was appointed by the emperor to a prisoner released from prison.
