Chapter 267 The real shot

"It's true." In the royal family's Long Tan's yamen, Jiang Xia closed the files in his hand. His right index finger and middle finger unconsciously knocked on the table.

Yang Tinghe suddenly issued a warrant to Cao Yuan, and what surprised Jiang Xia even more was that Yang Tinghe actually counted Cao Yuan's evidence as if he had known it. This was really unreasonable.

In order to verify whether the evidence of the crimes that Yang Tinghe said was true or false, after the morning court, Jiangxia specially asked the royal dragon detectives to get the files of those people that Yang Tinghe said in the morning court.

Everyone was as unclean as Yang Tinghe said. If Jiang Xia had not carefully observed, they would have guessed that these people were in the same party as Cao Yuan.

In this way, Cao Yuan deserves to be dismounted this time. Jiang Xia still remembers that he was overtaken by his master Li Dongyang after just holding two model shows in Qunfang Pavilion. Not only did he send Jun Yang to assassinate him, but he also sealed Qunfang Pavilion.

Li Dongyang is so jealous of evil, but Cao Yuan, as his promoted disciple, formed a clique for personal gain, deserves to die.

However, Jiang Xia still couldn't understand. Yang Tinghe was just the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing before, and Cao Yuanyuan was in the capital. Yang Tinghe knew everything about him clearly.

Jiang Xia suddenly felt a sudden stern, thinking that Yang Tinghe could not have expected that he would re-enter the cabinet, so he was ready a few years earlier, right? If this is true, then this person's scheming, scheming and strategy would be too scary.

"Bang bang bang" the sound of knocking on the door sounded, and Jiang Xia shouted at the door: "Come in."

The person who pushed the door was Geng Zhongqiu. After meeting Jiang Xia, Geng Zhongqiu said: "The leader, the imperial edict was issued. Cao Yuan and Mao Wenju were dismissed from office and were dismissed from office and were beheaded. The whole thing was left to Yang Tinghe, including the execution of the prison."

"Yang Tinghe is executed?" Cao Yuan and Mao Wenju are both second-rank officials, so it is not an exaggeration to be executed by Yang Tinghe himself. However, Yang Tinghe is the one who impeached the two. Generally speaking, in order to avoid the court, the impeached person will not be executed. However, Jiang Xia has made such an arrangement now, and he is a little confused.

The person who could get Yang Tinghe to be executed must be Zhu Houzhao. I just don’t know if this was the one that Yang Tinghe took the initiative to request or was appointed by Zhu Houzhao.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia's heart suddenly stumbled. He suddenly thought of a possibility, a possibility that Yang Tinghe would understand Cao Yuan and Mao Wen so well.

Jiang Xia slapped the table and stood up. He said to Geng Zhongqiu: "Uncle Geng, prepare the carriage."

Geng Zhongqiu was slightly stunned: "Where to go?"

"Heavenly Prison."

Now that Jiang Xia goes out to ensure safety, he usually takes Bu Jinyun and Qian Juexing, or the other people of the Seven Killers. However, this time he is obviously a little anxious, and then takes Geng Zhongqiu directly onto the carriage and asks the driver to drive the carriage straight to Tianzhu.

Jiang Xia did not often go to Tianzhu, but Tianzhu has always had his legend. The prison guard at the gate today did not know him. After Jiang Xia jumped out of the carriage, he took out his token of the Dragon Investigator of the Royal Family and reported his identity: "Royal Family and Dragon Investigator Jiang Xia."

When the two jailers heard this, Chuyi felt that the name was very familiar, and then their faces changed. Jiang Xia! The two knelt on one knee and saluted at Jiang Xia and said, "See sir."

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Take me to see Cao Yuan, the right censor of the Censorate."

"Yes!" The two jailers responded directly without hesitation. It was obvious that this did not comply with the rules, but who didn't know that Jiang Xia had a tattoo of "like I came in person" on her body? With these four words in her body, what else could Jiang Xia not go to? If the two little jailers stopped them, wouldn't it be boring to make things happen?

Jiang Xia followed the two prisoners to carry out the Heavenly Prison. To be honest, the environment of the Heavenly Prison is quite good, especially the prison specially designed for officials like Cao Yuan. Although it is not as good as the rooms in a large inn outside, it is not far from the rooms in ordinary small inns. In short, living here is not only a little humid, the smell is a bit unpleasant, and there is no freedom.

Jiang Xia and the prison guard walked to the door of the cell together. The prison guard said to Jiang Xia: "Mr. Jiang, you also know that Master Cao is a criminal. If it is convenient, you will feel wronged. How about you talking to Master Cao outside the cell?"

Jiang Xia took out two silver ingots from his arms, and he stuffed the silver into the jailer's hands and patted the jailer's hands and said, "I know this is a bit difficult, but Lord Cao is my elder. I came to visit him today and hope that he could sit down and chat with him and drink two glasses of water and wine, so I hope you can do it for a convenience, brother."

The prison guard weighed the heavy silver ingots in his hand, and heard Jiang Xia's words politely, so he nodded and nodded, "Then Lord Jiang went into the house and sat down with Lord Cao and chatted for him. The villain immediately went to arrange wine and food for the two adults. However, there were no big restaurants near the prison, so the dishes might be aggrieved by the two adults in a while."

"Just like ordinary wine and food, there is no need to be extravagant." Jiang Xia nodded and said.

"Okay, Lord Jiang please wait." After saying that, the jailer opened the door for Jiang Xia with the key, and then retreated.

After entering the cell, Cao Yuan looked at Jiang Xia and sighed.

Jiang Xia pulled the bench and sat down. Cao Yuan also walked over and sat down. He smiled and said, "I, Cao Yuan, have worked in the Ministry of Personnel for many years. I don't talk about my disciples and old officials all over the world, but there are many people promoted by me. Unexpectedly, the only one who came to see me in the end was you."

"It's not that they don't come to see you, but I'm the only one who can get in." Jiang Xia said.

Cao Yuan nodded and said, "It's still a good nephew, you have a solution."

"If you have anything to help, please speak up."

Cao Yuan thought for a while and said, "The emperor issued me an imperial edict to search and behead me. I, Cao Yuan, must be dead this time. In the future, I hope that my nephew can take care of my family for me because of the friendship of my classmates."

Jiang Xia nodded. He didn't have to say that he would do this, after all, Cao Yuan was Li Dongyang's disciple.

Jiang Xia said: "Has Mr. Cao never thought of asking me to plead with the emperor to spare your life? Do you know I can talk to the emperor?"

Cao Yuan shook his head and sighed, "You are really not sure, are you here to find out? The court is about to change. Yang Tinghe is just a knife invited by the emperor. The one who really wants to kill me is the emperor."

It's true!

Jiang Xia felt a little stern.

He was actually guessing before that Yang Tinghe had just arrived in the capital from Nanjing, and it was logically impossible for him to know so many secrets from Cao Yuan and Mao Wenju. The only person who had the time and ability to know these was the current emperor.

Jiang Xia even further guessed the intention of the emperor's move, and had to admit that Zhu Houzhao was definitely not an incompetent emperor.
