This letter is the most recent correspondence between Meng Shenshuang and Lai Junchen, and it is also the last correspondence between the two.

The content of the letter is simply earth-shattering!

It turned out that Meng Shenshuang stole the tribute, not simply to blame and frame Cui Geng, but from the original intention of Lai Junchen. Framing Cui Geng is secondary, and the real purpose of stealing the abbot mirror is to come to Junchen to be bold, and he actually wants to take this rare abbot mirror tribute for himself and enjoy it.

The words in black and white, and it is Lai Junchen's handwriting, how can it be faked?

Lai Junchen relied on Wu Zetian's favor, and it was simply inflated to the point of death, and he even dared to intercept the tribute ordered by Wu Zetian!

……

……

"Take a step to talk, let's discuss?"

Cui Geng hadn't known Wei Miao for a day or two, but he had never seen him speak so politely to himself.

Following Wei Miao, Cui Geng said in a low voice: "Wei joins the army, you don't want the county to destroy this letter, right?" ”

"Of course not, you can't hide it."

Wei Miao pondered for a moment, and then carefully said: "A certain family means that this case is Erlang yours, and it has nothing to do with the assassination of Shi Yamen." ”

Cui Geng said with a smile: "Wei joined the army, Meng Shenshuang's case was investigated and handled by you and me together, and the movement was so big that it was already in an uproar." Even if I'm willing to carry it alone, others won't believe it! ”

When it came to Zhang Qian's future, Wei Miao was unusual, and patiently explained: "That's different. Wei was ordered by Lord Shi to deal with Meng Shenshuang, and your Cui County order was to deal with Lai Junchen, which is not next to each other. Besides, Zhang Tingshi has no intention of fighting to the death with Laizhong. ”

Cui Geng smiled bitterly: "Wei joins the army, what he said is boring, you and I are willing to fight to the death with Lai Junchen?" He's the one who wants my life! ”

Cui Geng knows very well that the dispute between Zhang Qian and Lai Junchen has to die endlessly, and it is generally within the allowable range of the unspoken rules of officialdom.

That day, it was Meng Shen who moved Zhang Qian's concubine, and Zhang Qian naturally wanted his life; Later, Junchen came to protect the calf to protect Meng Shenshuang's life. Regardless of whether Meng Shenshuang is dead or alive, this is a battle between the two bigwigs, although there is a high or low level of winning or losing, it cannot be regarded as tearing the skin.

It's like two countries fighting, the soldiers killed a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, even if the emperor is caught by the other party, not only will he not be cut by a thousand knives, but he can also be a happy prince or something.

But if Zhang Qian really uses the letter in Wei Cao's hand to impeach Lai Junchen, then the two sides will really tear their faces and become an endless situation.

Wei Miao knew that whether it was the family interests of the Zhang family in Weizhou or the political ~ political interests of Zhang Qian himself, he was unwilling to be a strong enemy of the cool official group represented by Junchen since Shuxia.

But Cui Geng is different.

He is a former member of the Di family, and Di Renjie was ousted by Lai Junchen and ousted.

Now he is a member of the Shangguan family who is rooted in Miaohong, Shangguan Wan'er is a figure under the flagpole of the "Anti-Lai Alliance", and she has already become a fire and water with Lai Junchen.

Therefore, only Cui Geng is suitable to carry this pot and play the role of delivering this letter to Chang'an.

After thinking about it, Cui Geng opened his mouth, stopped talking, and finally took the letter from Wei Miao's hand, nodded and said, "Okay, just according to what Wei said when he joined the army." I'll do it! ”

After the discussion, the two returned to the room together.

Under some scheduling, the wooden box about the evidence of Lai Junchen's crime was brought back to Jiangdu County by Cui Geng.

……

The next day, Cui Geng borrowed a team of elite soldiers from Zhang Qian, and transported the large box full of letters to Chang'an City in its entirety.

More than ten days later, by land and water, these letters were delivered to Shangguan Wan'er in Chang'an.

When Shangguan Wan'er saw it, her heart was overjoyed.

That night, she sent the box to the palace and handed it over to Wu Zetian.

After Wu Zetian read the evidence of the crime, the other correspondence was easy to say, it was nothing more than a bunch of about Lai Junchen and Meng Shenshuang corrupting the law and framing Zhongliang.

There are things that Wu Zetian knows, and there are things she doesn't know, but even what she doesn't know is within the scope of her acquiescence.

But Lai Junchen's last letter to Meng Shenshuang made her Fengyan furious!

In the letter, Lai Junchen wrote in his own handwriting, ordering Meng Shenshuang: transport the stolen tribute abbot mirror to Chang'an City and give it to himself.

Wu Zetian sneered angrily, and scolded Lai Junchen: "Pampered and arrogant, pouring the guts of the dog, you dare to withhold and enjoy even the tribute I ordered, what else in the world do you dare not do when you come to Junchen?" ”

Even Shangguan Wan'er, who was frightened on the side, secretly ridiculed Lai Junchen, this thing is really a big disappointment to the level of the first cool official.

However, Shangguan Wan'er knows too well why Lai Junchen dares to die so boldly, there is a reason for this, it is nothing more than eight words: pampered and arrogant, inflated to the extreme!

She knew that Lai Junchen had just handled a few big cases this year.

First of all, the imperial heir Li Dan was almost pulled off the horse by him, although in the end Li Dan got away with it, but his two concubines Liu and Dou were killed.

followed by Dongguan Shangshu (Ministry of Works) Su Gan, because he had a grudge against Lai Junchen, he was framed for rebellion and exterminated his family.

In the end, Lai Junchen asked to kill the people of the Dao Dynasty, that is, the ministers of the court and the Tang clan who were exiled to Lingnan before. Wu Zetian gave an order, and thousands of heads fell to the ground.

As soon as the three cases came out, even Wu Zetian's most relied on nephews, Wu Sansi and Wu Chenghei, were so frightened that their livers trembled, and they all died down, and the alliance temporarily avoided the limelight. Shangguan Wan'er naturally avoided its edge.

For a while, Lai Junchen was complacent, and he felt that he had a faint tendency to be the second person in the world, and he naturally became more and more unscrupulous in doing things.

Expanded to the limit, naturally even the tribute hand-picked by Wu Zetian dared to touch it.

……

The higher you climb, the more brittle you fall.

When Shangguan Wan'er received the incriminating evidence of these Lai Junchen sent by Cui Geng to Chang'an, the anti-coming alliance suddenly gained momentum.

Stealing tribute, the evidence is ironclad, Your Majesty, even if you protect Lai Junchen, you have to give us an explanation, right?

In addition, Lai Junchen offended many enemies, and suddenly a snowflake-like piece flew into the Ouchi.

In the end, Wu Zetian gritted his teeth and was ruthless, and he would be Junchen in the future...... Degraded.

As Cui Geng guessed in Yangzhou, Lai Junchen was a hunting dog raised by Wu Zetian, a hunting dog used to do dirty and smelly things, and he didn't want to kill him at all.

But under the condition of ironclad evidence, under the impeachment of the ministers, he never thought of taking Junchen's life at all.

Instead, he was demoted to the same state to join the army, and his rank was nine ranks.

Lai Junchen, who was powerful in Chang'an City, simply packed up his things at home and went to Tongzhou under a derogatory holy decree.

Although he failed to kill Lai Junchen in the end, as long as this person left Chang'an City, it was like removing a big stone that was pressing on everyone's chests.

Whether it is Li Tang's widow and young people, or the anti-coming alliance between the martial brothers and Shangguan Wan'er, or other court friends, it is a thing worth celebrating.

Perhaps the reputation of Lai Junchen was so stinky that on the day he deposed and left Chang'an, in Chang'an City, where there was no festival every year, there was the sound of firecrackers, teahouses, restaurants and even brothels in Qing~lou, and every house was full.

The people in the market discussed, how did Lai Junchen fall?

The good deeds and the children of the family who know the secrets of the court all mentioned in the end, "Cui Geng, Cui Erlang, thousands of miles to send ironclad evidence." Laigou was deposed, and he should be the first credit! ”

Since the last time the name moved Chang'an, Cui Geng, who was far away in Jiangdu County, Yangzhou Prefecture, Huainan Province, once again resounded in Chang'an City.

This time, he fought hard to bring down Junchen, and Cui Geng was a blessing in disguise, which can be regarded as a real entry into the eyes of the bigwigs and friends of the DPRK and China, and the good deeds have regarded him as a rising star in the Tang Dynasty officialdom.

The incident in Chang'an was transmitted to Yangzhou, and it took more than ten days.

Shangguan Wan'er sent Liu Laosi again and sent a letter, promising to give Cui Geng a "superior" evaluation, and the excellent evaluation of this year's performance assessment was wrapped up in her.

For such a non-urgent matter, Liu Laosi was sent to go on a special trip, which shows that today's Shangguan Wan'er really began to take a fancy to Cui Geng.

When everyone was immersed in the joy of Lai Junchen's downfall, Cui Geng was still sober.

As the saying goes, he was born in sorrow and died in peace, and so he was.

On the surface, he, the commander of Jiangdu County, is really in the limelight now.

But he knew in his heart that this was not over!

He clearly remembered that in the big dream, the historical Lai Junchen would not fall this year, but next year, that is, three years of longevity, Lai Junchen was caught by pigtails and demoted to join the army in the same state.

It is consistent with the fate of Junchen now.

But so what?

is still the same sentence, Lai Junchen Jian is in the emperor's heart, he is a hunting dog of Wu Zetian, and after the beating, he should be pulled back and continue to bite for Wu Zetian. Historically, this guy was promoted to a level in two or three months, and within a year, he returned to Chang'an City with a bang.

As long as Lai Junchen returns to the center of power again, this hunting dog raised by Wu Zetian himself will probably take revenge on himself. When the time comes, can you really count on Wu Chenghei, Wu Sansi brothers, and Shangguan Wan'er to help him resist Lai Junchen's fierce bite?

……

Of course, the reason why he was not interested during this period of time was not only because of the worry about Junchen's comeback a year later, but also because of Cui Xiufang.

It seems that this Nizi has been looking for herself since the last time Ruyilou saved her life, and after the separation, she has never looked for herself in the future.

During this period, she repeatedly sent people to deliver letters, and asked her to come over quickly to talk about something, but Xiao Nizi gave a light "phew" and disdained it.

On this day, Cui Geng decided to take the initiative to go to Renshoufang to find Cui Xiufang, and there were still a few mysteries in his heart that had not been solved, such as why he didn't say goodbye on the day of the shipwreck, why he didn't come to see each other in Yangzhou, and why his attitude towards himself became so cold and rejected people thousands of miles away.

When he was about to change out of his official uniform and leave for Renshoufang, Song Genhai ran in with a grin and shouted, "My lord, what, your old friend is here." ”

"Xiufang?" Cui Geng was first happy, and then said with some displeasure: "Benyima is good and old-looking, vulgar!" You have to call someone Cui Xiaoniang. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, little lady Cui." Song Genhai said: "Hehe, my lord, Cui Xiaoniang is dressed up really strangely today, hahaha, I almost didn't recognize her." ”

Cui Geng was shocked, and when Cui Xiufang came in, he almost dropped his eyeballs on the ground.

In the past, Cui Xiufang either dressed as a man, or wore a plain skirt without powder. But today she not only wore a red dress, but also applied some fat powder on her face very unprofessionally, how to look at it and feel weird.

"Xiufang, you are ......"

Cui Xiufang's face was slightly red, she lowered her head, and said cautiously: "What?" Not good-looking? ”

Killing Cui Geng can't tell the truth, and even echoed: "It's good-looking!" Pretty! Xiufang looks good no matter how she dresses. ”

Cui Xiufang took out a brocade box from her arms and asked, "Am I good-looking, or is it good-looking?" ”

Cui Geng opened it and saw that it was a beautiful jade, and a "Cui" was engraved with ancient seal characters on it.

Although Cui Geng was not very proficient in jade, he understood at a glance that this jade was much stronger than all the jade he had seen before.

Including the piece of beautiful jade that the Zhang family gave him as a token, it can't compare to Cui Xiufang in front of him.

"No matter how beautiful the jade is, it's not as good as Xiufang's just in case!"

Cui Geng flattered a little, but this piece of beautiful jade was indeed something Cui Geng had rarely seen, and he couldn't help but say, "But this jade pendant should also be a priceless treasure." ”

"That's pretty much it." Cui Xiufang suddenly sighed faintly and said: "In fact, this is the ancestral treasure of the slave family, and it has been passed down for more than ten generations. ”

It turned out to be an ancestral treasure.

Suddenly, Cui Geng heard Cui Xiufang's rare glutinous voice call again: "Erlang ......"

"What's wrong with you?" Cui Xiufang was suddenly so gentle, Cui Geng was really uncomfortable.

"The slave family will give you this priceless treasure today. In the future, let it come to replace the slave family, and stay by Erlang's side day and night, okay? ”
