One hundred and fifty-one: self-knowledge
Shen Chen asked himself if he was a person who knew how to repay his kindness, for so many years, if it wasn't for Chu Jingxing's aggressiveness, and finally moved the idea of asking for his life, he would not have made a move against Chu Jingxing.
What's more, Chu Jing acted against him, obviously lost his mind, and began to collude with outsiders in an attempt to seize power.
It was the King of Linjiang who personally promised to take Chu Jingxing's life, and the plan was also set by the people under the King of Linjiang, and the King of Linjiang personally decided, but the Princess of Linjiang refused to hate the King of Linjiang, and put all the responsibility on his head.
He could have endured.
He always remembered the love of Princess Linjiang who raised him back then.
But no matter how much affection there is, it has been consumed by endless frame-ups and small actions.
His eyebrows were cold, and when he saw that Old Lady Liu was trembling and waiting for Old Master Liu to speak, he said in a deep voice: "This matter ...... Only you know? ”
Old lady Liu carefully observed his expression, knowing that this matter was said to his heart, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly responded: "This matter is very big, we dare not leak it to outsiders." ”
Shen Chen nodded at Han Bo, and when Han Bo put away the letter, he said softly: "In this case, I have received Old Lady Liu's intention now." ”
Old lady Liu and her son glanced at each other, and both of them were relieved, and said to Shen Chen with a smile: "If it is another day, there is a day when we need to testify, we will not dare to refuse." ”
This is telling Shen Chen that even if they go to confront King Linjiang in person, they dare and can.
Shen Chen was noncommittal and talked about the next matter: "These are still too far away, but now there is really something that the two of you need to testify." Since the two already know that Liu Biping's criminal is heinous, it is unforgivable. also knows that Liu Biping has many private things, so he has to ask the two of them to kill their relatives in righteousness. ”
This is also the purpose of the Liu family's trip, Old Lady Liu did not hesitate at all, and said to Shen Chen with a solemn expression: "Don't worry, the little old man knows what to do." ”
Shen Chen nodded, glanced at the sky, and asked people to send them out.
Compared with the time when he came, the rain fell more urgently, the calves of the sedan chair drivers were all in the water, Master Liu helped Mrs. Liu to get on the sedan chair, and then he braved the rain to get on the sedan chair at the back, and when he got home, he helped Mrs. Liu down, and said softly: "Dad, why did Master Hou let us come back and didn't let us wait for people to ask questions in the Governor's Palace?" Isn't he afraid of changes here for us? ”
Old Lady Liu looked at the stagnant water in the patio and smiled, shaking her head with a bitter face: "Now, what changes can we have?" ”
Master Liu also hung his head and was silent.
After a while, Old Lady Liu regained her usual shrewdness, glanced at him and said: "Don't be so lifeless, go and prepare first, Shen Chen will always have an explanation to the people of Fujian and the officialdom after arresting Biping, and the charges will definitely come down soon." The evidence we presented to him before will be useful again soon, you should look at it carefully, and there must be no negligence or omission to get involved in our own affairs! ”
Old lady Liu guessed correctly, that afternoon, in the face of the inspection of the arrival, Shen Chen announced the reason for arresting Liu Biping----- Liu Biping colluded with Haikou and guarded himself to steal, intending to rob the military rations shipped to Zhejiang.
As soon as this crime is charged, the Fujian officialdom is silent, and there is no one who speaks for Liu Biping------ Qin Cha is not a fool, since he is so sure, he naturally already has evidence, not to mention that the four families are all biased towards Qin Cha, do not say a word, and even let Qin Cha envoys move around, so it is already very telling.
Sure enough, within two or three days, officials came from Zhejiang----- Gu Shaoze, a staff general in Taizhou, Zhejiang, was ordered by the governor of Zhejiang to find out about the theft of grain and salary.
Only then did the Fujian officialdom know that the batch of military rations sent to Fujian a few days ago had a problem in the middle, and was intercepted by the notorious Haikou Qunshan party in the middle of the way; if it were not for the tight precautions on the Zhejiang side and sent someone to pick it up on the way, then this batch of grain and salary would have gone into the pockets of the mountains and was transported to Dongying by the mountains.
Collusion with the pirates! Grab the food!
At the moment of the war, no matter what kind of crime it is, it is a big crime of the Nine Clans. Liu Biping was involved in such a thing...... It is no wonder that Qin Cha dared to lead the guards overnight, united the four families to control the inside and outside of the city gate, and isolated the guards of the Governor's Palace from entering the city.
It turned out that it was because Liu Biping committed such a big crime!
There was an uproar in Fujian officialdom.
At the same time, everyone in the old house of the Liu family opened an ancestral hall, clearly saying that Liu Biping was rebellious, and other clansmen in the Liu family were unwilling to join him in the same stream, so they shared an ancestral hall and eliminated Liu Biping from the Liu clan.
The Liu family is a local family, and it is rare for them to open an ancestral hall for a year.
In addition to the children of the ancestral branch, in addition to such a major event as worshipping the ancestors, there are few ancestral halls, they open ancestral halls, invite many clansmen, is a major event that alarms Rongcheng, the scene is grand.
Even the Liu family themselves stood up and accused Liu Biping of being rebellious, and the Fujian officialdom was even more shaken.
Two days later, Meng Jiming, the left attendant of the criminal department who was secretly sent to Fujian by the imperial court to supervise the case, arrived in Rongcheng and began to investigate the case thoroughly.
Liu Biping cried out in prison and denied all the evidence of his collusion with the mountains.
The letter was not written by him, and Qunshan and others were the objects of his want, and he pointed out that Shen Chen had ill intentions, deliberately announced personal vendetta, and planted the crime on him.
It's just that Shen Chen had expected that after the old lady Liu removed him from the family tree at the Kaizong Ancestral Hall, he once again accused him of colluding with the Peng family and the Yi family, privately seized the military supplies sent by the imperial court to the coast, and resold the Haikou at a high price, and took out the account books and evidence.
The next day, Meng Jiming began to arrest people, and all Fujian officials whose names were recorded in the account books were not spared.
At this point, everyone knows that Liu Biping's downfall is only a matter of time.
On the sixth day of the case------- there was a new development Liu Biping's wife, who had disappeared for a long time, actually appeared, she appeared in front of Meng Jiming, and pointed out that Liu Biping colluded with the Peng family and the Yi family, but also had to be involved with Xia Song and others back then.
She also pointed out that Xia Song had secretly given Liu Biping a child, this child had a special identity, and he was actually the orphan of the Ming family who survived the Ming family's incident back then!
Meng Jiming was shocked, he didn't expect that the case would go on so far and there would be such an unexpected gain.
Mrs. Liu said that Liu Biping got the child from a family surnamed Lu, and Xia Song was guilty because he knew that the affairs of the Ming family were greasy and connived at the actions of the King of Chu, so after learning that the child adopted by the Lu family was an orphan of the Ming family, he put the child in Liu Biping's hands.
It was to suppress the matter, for fear that the child would retaliate in the future.
