Walking day and night, on the seventh day of the eighth month, Cao Hua brought Yibaiduo people back to Bianjing.

The ranks of more than twenty carriages were very long, and they were quite eye-catching when entering the city. In addition, the rogues had been arranged to secretly fan the flames, and a news quickly spread throughout the inner and outer cities:

Li Yan, the general manager of the Dawei, deceived his superiors and condoned his subordinates to exploit the people for huge profits. If the people refused to follow, they would be punished. A thousand people were beaten to death in one place in Queshan County alone.

The princes and generals in the court had heard of this for a long time, but they did not expect Li Yan to be so excessive. Although he suspected that Cao Hua, who was also a eunuch, had the motives of the people and the corpses who were calling for justice, and the finances of ten carriages, it was no longer important that the motives were sent to the capital. These evidences did prove that Li Yan dared to get some dirty things that were killed thousands of times.

Many old ministers drafted memorials before the convoy entered Beijing, and the table that impeached Li Yan fell on the desk of the imperial study room like snowflakes.

This time, he was stopped by Xue Jiuquan and even the few books that rebuked the eunuch party for their reckless deeds were suppressed, and he was very stance to die together.

Cao Hua suffered some skin injuries and lay in the carriage for six or seven days without any serious injury. After entering the capital, he had not returned to the palace to repair it, so he received an urgent call from the emperor to the palace for a visit. This was as expected, and he rushed to the palace city.

Zhao Tianluo hadn't had a good rest for a few days and was already exhausted, but he knew that the matter was too big and did not dare to go back to the palace to rest. He asked Hei Yuwei to send her outside the palace and hurried into the harem.

Outside Weizhou, most of the refugees have dispersed, and the porridge shop has also been removed.

Hundreds of villagers crying and shouting, holding tablets and wearing mourning clothes, kneeling outside the city gate to shout for justice, dozens of corpses were covered with white cloth, and the coroner of the Ministry of Justice carefully inspected them, and many officials stood around and whispered.

In the past, these people who were calling for justice would have been driven away long ago, but now hundreds of Black Feather Guards stood around with swords and crossbows, and no officers dared to approach, let alone drive them away. There were only a few officials with unknown factions negotiating with the Black Feather Guards, saying that this was illegal and that they should go to the government office to call for justice. It was too inappropriate to kneel outside the city gate, but unfortunately no one listened.

The court officials watching were all frowning, waiting for news from the palace.

------

In the garden of Fuyan Palace, Zhao Jie was sitting on the couch, next to him was Concubine Wan with her eyes down on her face. Xue Jiuquan stood behind her silently, and several eunuchs stood around silently.

Li Yan's face was full of sadness, and he knelt at the emperor's feet with tears in his nose, crying and crying for justice.

Because the matter was quite serious, several of the emperor's servants came. The eunuch Liang Shicheng was wearing a eunuch's robe and just stood beside him and watched coldly.

"Your Majesty, I'm wronged. I'm absolutely not instructing you..."

"Okay!"

Zhao Jie looked bad, but he just held the teacup and looked at the singing and dancing of the dancer in front of him, not knowing what to think about.

A little bit.

There was a movement from the Fuyan Palace corridor. Cao Hua, wearing a silver martial arts uniform, stalked into the garden with his sword on his waist:

"Cao Hua attended Your Majesty."

After being injured and having a hard time, I looked a little haggard.

Xicheng House is Zhao Jie's small treasury, and Dian Kui Si is Zhao Jie's eyes and ears. Speaking of which, this is the official family business.

Everyone arrived, Zhao Jie did not ask Li Yan to get up, but just raised his hand slightly: "Tell me, what's going on, Cao Hua, you tell me first."

"promise!"

Cao Hua lowered his head and spoke respectfully: "I recently went to Queshan County to arrest rebels. I accidentally discovered that the local luxury trend was prevalent. After a brief investigation, I learned that Fan Chenglin was ordered by Eunuch Li and misinterpreted the Shengyi to annex the private land of the people..."

"Cao Hua, you are slandering!"

Li Yan was furious and immediately wanted to refute.

Zhao Jie slapped the teacup suddenly and glared at Li Yan coldly: "Let him finish."

"promise!"

Li Yan gritted his teeth and said nothing more.

"The land of the local people in Queshan County was divided up by several large households. If they could not pay the annual tax, they were punished by sticks. Nearly a thousand people were beaten to death over the years. Only three cities paid the tax to Xicheng District, and the remaining 70% were transferred to local large households, and half were transferred by Fan Chenglin to Eunuch Li. This time, the gold and silver finances found from Fan Chenglin's mansion were loaded with five cars. How much did Eunuch Li take? Cao Hua still doesn't know."

“Is there any more?”

Zhao Jie took a breath and looked at Cao Hua.

"After Eunuch Li learned the news, he sent twenty dead soldiers to surround me and Princess Yong'an in the secret room. I was stabbed seven times. In order to take into account the safety of the princess, I failed to catch the living. The princess can prove this matter."

As he said that, Cao Hua untied his outer robe, revealing his strong and tight muscles, and the straps that still oozed blood on it.

The figure is so good that Concubine Wan’s face turned slightly red, and she turned her head and didn’t dare to look at it.

Zhao Jie looked at it for a few seconds, breathed a breath, and was silent for a little: "Thank you for your hard work, put on your clothes and go to rest next to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cao Hua put on his clothes and sat in the seat next to him.

Li Yan hurriedly climbed a few steps and came to Zhao Jie: "You are wronged, the priest, I have received some small favors, but I will never dare to act so recklessly. Lord Cao misunderstood the slaughter..."

Zhao Jie trusted several of his confidants very much, and never thought that they would fight in the nest. At this time, he held the teacup and looked at Li Yan:

"Do you have evidence?"

"have!"

Li Yan hurriedly raised his head: "Fan Chenglin has been caught by the government and sent to Tokyo. I will let him come over to meet the emperor. Fan Chenglin's own decision. The old slave has no idea. I will serve His Highness for half a lifetime. How could I do such a ridiculous thing to deceive the superiors and hide the subordinates..."

As soon as this said, Xue Jiuquan frowned slightly and looked at Cao Hua.

Cao Hua also frowned. He searched all over Queshan County afterwards. He thought Fan Chenglin had already escaped, but he didn't expect to come to Kyoto. This was a problem...

After a little while, several eunuchs pressed Fan Chenglin, who was covered in bruises, to Fuyan Palace.

After seeing him for only a few days, Fan Chenglin lost weight a lot, his hair was as messy as thatched, and his body was trembling and his eunuch was carried to the emperor.

"See Your Majesty..."

Fan Chenglin stumbled into the garden and kowtowed repeatedly in the position behind Li Yan:

"The crime of low-ranking duties should be killed, and the demon of low-ranking duties should never let down the trust of Eunuch Li, and the crime of low-ranking duties should be killed..."

"Depend on..."

Cao Hua slapped the armrest of the chair and stared at Li Yan.

Li Yan was still crying, but there was a hint of sneer in his eyes, and he turned his head and said sternly:

"Fan Chenglin, why don't you explain this to Your Majesty quickly. If you dare to say a word, it would be a crime of deceiving the king."

Fan Chenglin crawled on the ground and cried bitterly: "It's the criminal... the criminal is greedy for money, so he conspired with several large households in Queshan County to annex private land, and the money he earned also fell into the criminal's pocket..."

Zhao Jie raised his hand, signaled Cao Hua to be calm, and frowned and asked:

"What's going on with Cao Hua being assassinated?"

Fan Chenglin hurriedly turned his direction and kowtowed to Cao Hua who was sitting: "It was the criminal who took his own initiative. After learning that Governor Cao was investigating corruption, he was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he arranged for someone to assassinate Governor Cao..."

"This is the charge of the whole family's death, you think about it!"

Cao Hua looked angry and stared at Fan Chenglin.

Seeing this, Zhao Jie slapped the table and said coldly: "Cao Hua, don't interrupt."

"promise!"

Cao Hua took a breath and just continued to watch.

Fan Chenglin knelt in the garden, tremblingly ruling the "in and outs" clearly, holding all the charges on him, and even saying the identities of several dead soldiers clearly had nothing to do with Li Yan.

After Fan Chenglin finished speaking, Li Yancai cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, it was because of the old slave's poor supervision that caused such a disaster. I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish him."

The eunuch Liang Shicheng next to him sighed at this time: "Although the status of the emperor's servant is low, he is dedicated to the emperor and the order is above the princes. Some mistakes are inevitable and cannot be regarded as faults."

Everyone present was a servant of the emperor, but no one refuted his words.

Zhao Jie frowned, looked back and forth at the two close ministers for a few times, and hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Cao Hua, what else do you have to say?"

Cao Hua stood up and pointed at Li Yan: "How can the twenty masters be driven by a small magistrate? Wang Meng, the leader, personally admitted that he was instructed by Li Yan. Fan Chenglin must have been threatened to take the blame on himself."

"There are no sins. Eunuch Li has always been kind and never threatened the criminals. It is because the criminals are obsessed with the name of Eunuch Li, so they do things under the name of Eunuch Li. Please calm down the anger."

Fan Chenglin kowtowed repeatedly, and his regret was not false at all.

Cao Hua was so angry that he was furious that he immediately wanted to draw his sword to kill people.

Xue Jiuquan's face was slightly darker: "Sit down."

Cao Hua's eyes were cold, and he held the hilt of the sword, and finally sat back with his sleeve.

Emperor Zhao Jie held the teacup and was silent for a long time, but finally sighed softly and said in a deep voice:

"Li Yan, you will cause such a ridiculous thing if you neglect your duties first... Go and apologize to Cao Hua, and then fine him three years of salary to serve as a warning."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Yan cried bitterly, turned around tremblingly, and knelt down in front of Cao Hua.

Just looking at Cao Hua's eyes, he was full of sarcasm.

The land under Xicheng is under 34,000 hectares, and all the taxes are included in the emperor's private treasury. Can a mere trivial matter in Queshan County be moved to him Li Yan?

Since they have broken up, there is nothing to say. Li Yanneng and Xue Jiu are at the same level. When it comes to planning and planning, they are no worse than anyone in the world.

A yellow-haired child uses this trick to deal with him?

If you can get three glasses of wine, what if I get three years of salary?

Li Yan's eyes are full of provocation!

Bang—

When Li Yan was about to kneel down, a loud bang appeared out of thin air in the garden of Fuyan Palace.
