Wei Jin also realized that he had overstated his words. He knelt down and said, "This subject doesn't dare, but this subject only has Wen Bin. I beg the empress dowager to save him on behalf of the two of us." He gritted his teeth and ruthlessly said: "This subject promises you that I will send him far away, and will never set foot in Jinling City again."

Empress Dowager Wei sighed as she looked at Wei Jin's stooped figure. "Unfortunately, the current situation isn't something that the emperor or This Dowager can handle. Get up first."

Wei Jin didn't want to get up and anxiously said, "How could that be … as long as …"

"This one knows what you want to say." Empress Dowager Wei interrupted him and said solemnly, "The matter of the transfer has already been known by the entire world. There definitely can't be a second time."

Wei Jin's thoughts raced. "Then..." I won't admit it even if I bite to death.

Empress Dowager Wei stared at him for a long while, her voice heavy and firm. "Big brother, This Dowager understands your feelings, but …" There is really nothing that I can do, and neither is the Emperor; the only thing I can do is to keep you out of this matter as much as possible, and not be implicated. "

These words struck Wei Jin like a thunderbolt. When he recovered from his shock, he crawled to Empress Dowager Wei's feet and repeatedly kowtowed and begged. No matter how Yin Qiu supported him or how she tried to persuade him, he refused to get up.

"Yin Qiu, you step down. Since he wants to kneel to death so much, you can do as he pleases."

Seeing that Empress Dowager Wei was really going to let go of him, Wei Jin froze in a daze. After a while, her pale lips trembled as she said, "Really …" Unable to save? "

Empress Dowager Wei didn't say anything. Yin Qiu said from the side, "The empress dowager dotes so much on Sir Wei. If there's a way, how could she not save him? It's really …" There's nothing we can do. "

Wei Jin looked at her in silence. After a long while, he struggled to his feet and said nothing. He just turned around and left.

Yin Qiu watched his back as she left, and said with some worry, "Empress Dowager, this servant fears that the guard will be unhappy with His Majesty for this matter."

Empress Dowager Wei's eyes drooped as she stroked the fine embroidery lines in her sleeves, her expression cold. "This Dowager's already done for him. If he still wants to do this, This Dowager won't be able to do anything about it. The Wei family … It's not just him. "

On September 27, Dongfang gave the order to the capital court and the justice courts to hear Wei Wenbin's "Resurrection from the Dead" case.

On the sixth day of October, the capital and the justice courts found out that Wang Langzhong of the Ministry of Justice and three other officials had accepted money from Wei Wenbin's wife, then exchanged it for money and used the death row to take Wei Wenbin's place.

On the seventh day of the tenth month, Dongfang gave the order that all officials involved in the case should be removed from the country and their wealth sent to the treasury. As for Wei Wenbin, he was to be executed at eight o'clock in the tenth month by Yang He.

After passing down the decree, Wayne returned to the Chengde Palace. He looked at Dong Fang Qian who was standing by the long window and asked carefully: "Your Majesty, do you really intend to kill the Lord Guard?"

Dongfang Shao looked out the window at the fallen leaves, and he coldly said, "If Wen Bin doesn't die, then Jinling will not be able to decide."

Wynand shook his head and sighed, "This time, it has been very difficult for His Majesty." Pausing slightly, he asked, "Do you want this old servant to take a look at the guards?"

Dongfang Ru turned around and sat down in the chair. With an indifferent tone, he said, "What, are you afraid that Uncle will be angry with me?"

Wyon smiled apologetically, "The Marquis is a wise man, he understands the difficulties his majesty is facing. However, Lord Wei is his only son after all, so it is inevitable that he will feel a bit sad. So, this old servant is thinking about whether he should go and enlighten him."

"At least you're interested." Dong Fang Qian smiled, "There are many things that cannot be looked at just by the surface. Life and death are the same as well."

Wynn's eyelids jumped: "Could it be..." The one who will be beheaded tomorrow is the same as last time, not Master Wei himself? "

Dongfang Ru didn't reply. He narrowed his eyes and said, "What? You have an objection?"

Wynn quickly bowed and said, "This old servant doesn't dare, this old servant is just worried …" If we were to be discovered, it will be detrimental to your majesty. "

Dong Fang Qian smiled. "Lu Yi has found someone who specializes in disguise techniques. Although he can't do it without any flaws, it's enough to fool an ordinary person. As for Wen Bin, he'll be sent off from the east gate this afternoon."

"So that's how it is." Wynne was suddenly enlightened, and then he said with a smile, "To be able to save Master Wei is definitely the best."

Dong Xuan nodded his head and said in a solemn voice: "You are not to speak of what happened just now. If there is any leakage, I will ask you."

"Don't worry, your majesty. Even if someone were to use a knife to interrogate you, this old servant would not dare to break your majesty's arrangement."

Dongfang Shao nodded and rubbed his forehead. "I'm a bit tired. You can leave first."

"Yes." After Wyon left, Dongfang Cong lowered his hand from his forehead and coldly stared at the closed vermilion temple door. Whether Wyon was a spy or not, the results would be revealed very soon.

A group of businessmen rode a carriage out of the city and headed east. They looked like they were in a hurry and would look around every now and then.

The night passed in silence. The next morning, after the morning assembly, Lu Yi brought back some news. The people they sent out had already traveled over a hundred li out of the city, yet they did not meet anyone who wanted to intercept them.

"So Wynne and the others are not traitors?" Dongfang Chonglou frowned deeply. The words he had spoken to Wayne yesterday were all lies, and the purpose was to find out who the spies were. Including Huane, he had told a total of three people.

Lu Yi lowered her eyes and said, "That should be the case. Otherwise, we won't just let them leave."

Her words made Dong Fang Qian frown even more. He muttered to himself: "If it wasn't for them, who else would it be?"

Lu Yi said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, could it be that we are mistaken and not a traitor?"

"If there's no one working in tandem, how would they know so much about our plan?" After a brief moment of silence, Dong Fang said in a cold voice, "Continue to investigate. We must find out who that person is."

On the eighth of October, Wei Wenbin's true body was verified and executed at a quarter to noon!

At the time of the first execution, Wei Jin had gone to the execution grounds to feed his son. As his father, how could he not recognize his son? The only explanation was that he was also involved in this case, and he was the one who bribed the officials. However, the imperial court and the justice courts had purposely let him go, and there was only one reason, and that was that someone did not want anything to happen to him.

As for who this person was, they all knew him well.

After this matter, the support and love that the people of Jin'ling Hall had towards that person from the Cheng De Palace no longer existed, and this … This was exactly what Mu Qianxue wanted.

The Wei clan had taken control of the Great Zhou River for more than twenty years. To destroy it in a single night was no different from wishful thinking. The only way was to slowly disintegrate it; from the people to the Wei clan …

On the tenth day of the tenth month, Gu Changfeng, who had been waiting in the relay station for half a month, finally received the order to summon him to the palace.
