Chapter 539: Counterattack

Longtai took the memorial, his expression was calm at first, but gradually became grim. Looking at the little emperor's face, the courtiers knew that what was written in the memorial must be of great significance.

Longtai suddenly threw the note far away, and it landed right in front of Feng Ruohai.

After all, the little emperor had also practiced some boxing and kicking skills, and he still had some strength on hand. He said in a cold voice: "Feng Ruohai, take a good look at it for yourself. The memorial lists all your major crimes. You can take a good look at it yourself." Take a look, if it's true, you...!" He sneered and said, "Go to the Penal Department Prison yourself."

Feng Ruohai picked up the memorial and only glanced at it twice. His hands were already trembling. He fell to the ground suddenly and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I...I am wronged. These are all untrue. Someone wants to slander and frame me." .”

"Master Feng, I have real evidence for the crimes in the memorial." Hu Geng sneered: "You know how much farmland there is in your hometown Yongfeng County and how much taxes you have to pay, but you engaged in malpractice for personal gain and deliberately You concealed the amount of cultivated land and concealed the amount of cultivated land for hundreds of people. You split the taxes collected every year 50-50 with local officials. This is just one of them. After investigation, it was found that the amount of cultivated land you concealed in various places was at least 50%. At more than 8,000 taels, the amount of embezzled silver you get from it every year is as high as hundreds of thousands taels." At this point, Hu Geng also took out the account book from his sleeve, presented it and said: "Your Majesty, here are the actual facts written in detail. The current difference between the area of cultivated land and the area of cultivated land paid taxes is as much as 8,000 hectares. In addition, there are still many hectares that are still under investigation. The total number of various places should be no less than 10,000 hectares. There are nearly a hundred local officials involved. So huge."

When Hu Geng said these words, the courtiers all changed their expressions in shock.

Chen Lanting, the Minister of Civil Affairs, lost no time and sneered: "Feng Ruohai, you criticized the Sima family for enclosing land and occupying land at the court meeting, but it turns out that you are the one who really concealed the land occupation. The Sima family enclosed more than a thousand lands just to provide money to the palace. To build the Wende Palace, you concealed the tax on more than 10,000 yuan of cultivated land. Could it be that the money was also used to build the palace?"

Feng Ruohai was already pale at this moment, and Dou Kui, the Minister of Household Affairs, was also breaking out in a cold sweat at this moment.

"Your Majesty, in addition, as early as three years ago, a relative of Feng Ruohai gathered a group of gangsters in Yongfeng and broke into a family's wedding day in the middle of the night. They not only defiled the newly married bride , and beat Sina to death." Hu Geng's voice was sonorous: "When such a major case occurred, the local government quickly put an end to the matter, and those few people were not punished at all. After investigation, I found the personal letter written by Feng Ruohai to The secret letter from the local official allowed the local official to confuse right and wrong and put the case to rest." After saying that, he took out a yellowed letter from his sleeve and said, "Please take a look at it, your Majesty!"

The courtiers were already sure at this time that Feng Ruohai was carefully prepared to impeach the Sima family today, and Hu Geng, the imperial censor, was even more prepared to impeach Feng Ruohai. He could even find secret letters from a few years ago. It's really unbelievable, it can be said that his hands and feet can reach the sky.

After Longtai read the letter, his expression became even colder, but he didn't speak.

Hu Geng did not end there, and continued: "Feng Ruohai had an uncle who also came to the capital five years ago and took his wife Feng Liu to seek refuge in Feng Ruohai's house. Feng Ruohai was very fond of this uncle. He took care of him and made him the general manager in the Feng Mansion. However, three years ago, Feng Ruohai, the clan uncle, suddenly died suddenly. The news came out that this man died suddenly from excessive drinking." He sneered: "Feng Ruohai didn't do anything about it afterwards. Bury this clan uncle immediately, but cremate his body and send it back to his hometown for burial."

Feng Ruohai's body trembled, he raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said: "Uncle...Uncle once said that if...if he passes away one day, he will...be sent back to his hometown for burial. Yongfeng's hometown is far away. The road to the capital was far away, and it was... it was summer again, so in order to prevent the body from rotting, we could only... we could only cremate the body first and then transport it back."

"Oh?" Hu Geng said with a smile: "Master Feng is quite good to this clan uncle. By the way, Master Feng, after your clan uncle passed away, his widow Feng Liu does not know where she is now?"

"Uncle passed away and left no heirs. My aunt is alone, so I naturally have to support her." Feng Ruohai managed to calm down and said, "Hu Yushi, is this wrong?"

"Of course there is nothing wrong with being filial to your elders." Hu Geng sneered and said, "But to tarnish your aunt and commit adultery, isn't this a serious crime?"

There was an uproar all around.

It is said that the party struggle between North Korea and China is fierce, but it is quite rare to point out his crimes so directly, especially with such guilt. This will obviously lead to Feng Ruohai's death.

Feng Ruohai's body shook violently, and he lost his voice and said: "Nonsense, you... You are talking nonsense, you dare to slander me...!" He turned to Longtai: "Your Majesty, this person is full of nonsense and slanderous. I... I beg the Emperor to make the decision for me."

Qi Ning already knew at this time that Hu Geng had come prepared. Since these crimes were pointed out at the court meeting, there was certainly sufficient evidence. In fact, only the first crime of concealing the report of farming, Feng Ruohai had already It's just that he can't afford to walk around, and with the second crime, Feng Ruohai has no chance of turning over. It doesn't matter whether the third crime is taken away or not.

But Hu Geng still told the truth about Feng Ruohai's adultery against Feng Liu. This would not only bring down Feng Ruohai completely, but also make Feng Ruohai lose his reputation and make him unable to behave at all, leaving no room for it.

Hu Geng said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have witnesses who can prove that Feng Ruohai's clan uncle did not die from drinking, but was poisoned." He cleared his throat and then said: "That clan uncle took Feng Ruohai with him back then. Feng Ruohai took refuge with Feng Ruohai, and Feng Ronghai took good care of them. It was not because Feng Ruohai missed his old relationship, but because Feng Ruohai had evil intentions. Although Feng Liu was Feng Ruohai's aunt, she was more than ten years younger than Feng Ruohai. , is only thirty-six years old this year, and her appearance is not bad. When Feng Liu entered the Feng Mansion, she was immediately attracted by Feng Ruohai, and then she took them in. In fact, it was less than three months after Feng Liu entered the Feng Mansion. He was forcibly raped by Feng Ruohai...!"

Feng Ruohai's face was pale, his whole body was trembling, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said: "Nonsense, nonsense, you are slandering me... nonsense...!" But his voice was trembling, and he had no confidence at all. Just looking at his appearance, everyone was confused. I know that nine out of ten what Hu Geng said is true.

Qi Ning frowned slightly, thinking that the clan uncle had passed away many years ago. If it was really Feng Ruohai who was responsible for the murder, this matter was naturally made extremely secretive. How could it be discovered by outsiders? Feng Ruohai's immediate reaction was also within Qining's expectation.

Feng Ruohai was eloquent, but murdering his clan uncle and raping his aunt was his biggest secret. He thought that the gods and ghosts didn't know it, but he never expected that Hu Geng would openly show it to the court. Although he He tried his best to pretend to be calm, but he was already out of his mind and his mind went blank. He wanted to argue, but his mind was confused for a while and he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Feng Ruohai occupied the Feng Liu family, but he could only act when his clan uncle was unprepared." Hu Geng said: "This person usually has a sanctimonious attitude, so he is naturally worried that his clan uncle will find out his flaws, and even Worried about the scandal being discovered by the clan uncle. Feng Liu was afraid of Feng Ruohai's power. Although she was raped, the news should not be leaked. She could only endure Feng Ruohai's rape from time to time. However, Feng Ruohai was ruthless and wanted to completely destroy Feng Ruohai. The Liu family was in his hands, so he poisoned the clan uncle and was worried that the body would be exposed, so he hurriedly cremated it. From then on, the Feng Liu family was completely occupied by Feng Ruohai. To this day...!"

At this time, many courtiers looked at Feng Ruohai with contempt.

"Hu Geng, you are making empty claims, do you have any evidence?" Dou Kui finally asked in a deep voice: "Feng Ruohai, the dignified Minister of Household Affairs, if there is no real evidence, I will not tolerate your malicious slander here."

Dou Kui had no choice but to bite the bullet.

He knew very well that today he wanted to severely chop the Sima family, but who knew that all this was part of the other party's plan. Not only did the other party easily resolve the crisis, but he even launched a counterattack. Now Feng Ruohai could no longer protect him. Once something happens to Feng Ruohai, the Minister of Household Affairs, he will naturally be implicated.

He knew that Feng Ruohai was like a pile of mud at the moment, and he would get dirty if he touched it, and he wanted to stand aside and pretend to be dumbfounded, but after all, Feng Ruohai was the Minister of Household Affairs and an official under his command, so he knew about his dirty deeds. Some, if he didn't say a word, Feng Ruohai would naturally feel that he was unwilling to save him, and might even bite him. At this time, he pretended to say a few words for him, which also made Feng Ruohai feel that he was still loyal.

Hu Geng said: "Don't worry, Mr. Dou. Since the lower official participated in the impeachment, he has naturally prepared evidence. Feng Ruohai concealed the farmland. If Mr. Dou had paid more attention to this matter, I am afraid that he should have found out long ago. However, Mr. Dou has many things to deal with every day, and the household affairs department has many things to do. The matter is complicated, and Feng Ruohai deceived the superiors and concealed it. Master Dou failed to notice it, and it was just a crime of oversight. The subordinate has already submitted the verified farmland accounts to the emperor. As long as he sends someone to investigate casually, he can find out immediately . If Feng Ruohai bent the law for personal gain, the secret letter is the physical evidence. In addition, the officials who were instigated by him have also found out their conscience. They are in the capital and can come and testify at any time. "

"Then you say that Feng Shilang plotted to murder his uncle and seize his aunt, do you have any real evidence?" Dou Kui said coldly.

Hu Geng said with a smile: "Of course there is, and there are many witnesses. One is the chief steward of the Feng Mansion. After the uncle died, this person replaced the uncle and became the minister of Feng Mansion. The chief steward at the top, and this person was ordered by Feng Shilang to personally poison the witness of the clan uncle. In addition, there is another witness...!" He glanced at Feng Ruohai and said: "This witness is That Feng Liu family, she has fully explained the causes and consequences of Feng Ruohai's occupation of her."

Qi Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that this change seemed to be a big deal. Even the chief manager of the Feng Mansion and Feng Liu were able to testify. Naturally, Feng Ruohai was bound to die.

The general manager could become the general manager of the Feng Mansion, and he was ordered to poison the uncle of the clan, so he was naturally a close associate of Feng Ruohai. Although the Feng Liu family was raped and occupied, for a woman, this was certainly a shameful thing. , it takes great courage to stand up and make this matter public.

Hu Geng was able to let these two people testify, so he naturally had great powers.

Dou Kui sneered and said: "Did these two people cheat and cheat, did they accept money from others, and colluded to slander Feng Shilang? Such lowly slaves cannot be fully trusted."

"Master Dou is right." Hu Geng said: "But Mrs. Feng Liu knows Feng Ruohai's body very well and can explain several secrets of Feng Ruohai's body. If it is not skin-to-skin contact, how can outsiders know the secrets of Feng Ruohai's body? If you all If I don’t believe it, can I ask Feng Liu to come to court now and explain Feng Ruohai’s secrets in public? The civil and military officials of the court can bear witness to see if it’s true or not.”
