Chapter 352 Premeditated frame-up

"Send it up."

After a while, Wei Zheng took out the memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Yanzhang.

"Well, you did a good job, go down and rest." Yang Yanzhang nodded, motioned for Wei Zheng to step back, and then started to watch the memorial.

Soon, Yang Yanzhang sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy expression, tapping his fingers slowly on the table, and then suddenly raised his right arm and hit the table hard.

"It's unreasonable! It's simply unreasonable! Someone is plotting to frame him!" Yang Yanzhang roared.

Although Yang Yanzhang was a faint king, he was also a wise king. Although the content of this memorial did not mention the specifics of what happened, Yang Yanzhang could also guess the general outline of what happened.

Yang Yizhong was indeed framed, and the mastermind behind it was Li Xian!

Because Yang Yanzhang knew that if he simply killed Yang Yizhong, there would be a lot of discussion in the court, which would affect his prestige.

But now, Li Xian took advantage of the situation and put this account on Yang Yizhong's head. In this way, even if he wanted to keep Yang Yizhong, it would be impossible.

"Li Xian, you are so cruel!" Yang Yanzhang shouted angrily.

When Wei Zheng saw Yang Yanzhang angry, he did not dare to dissuade him, and it was not easy for him to dissuade him in this matter. After all, the death of Yang Yizhong was indeed strange. After searching for a long time, he only found that Yang Yizhong committed suicide by taking poison in prison.

Moreover, he sent someone to carefully examine Yang Yizhong's body and found a trace of blood on his clothes, and a jade pendant was found next to the clothes.

Yang Yanzhang was also familiar with this thing. This was the seal that Yang Yizhong carried close to his body. It was just Yang Yizhong's seal. How could it appear next to his clothes?

Moreover, Yang Yizhong's body did not look like he had been tortured to death, but rather like he had been poisoned. Wei Zheng couldn't understand this.

"Your Majesty, this case is of great importance. I hope your Majesty will think twice." Yang Yanzhang took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement.

"Wei Zheng, what do you think should be done about this matter?" Yang Yanzhang suddenly asked Wei Zheng.

"I feel that this case is too strange. Although Yang Yizhong is greedy for money, he will never kill his son for no reason, and it is still in his own mansion. Moreover, Yang Yizhong's mansion is heavily guarded.

There is no way for ordinary people to sneak in. Moreover, Your Majesty, I think this case is a bit strange. Maybe Yang Yizhong's death was not an accident. "Wei Zheng thought for a while and then said.

"What about according to Aiqing's wishes?"

"I think there are two possibilities for this matter. The first possibility is that Yang Yizhong hid a batch of gold and silver jewelry at home, and then it was stolen. Yang Yizhong was worried that the thief would murder people and steal the money before absconding again.

That's why I set up a mechanism at home, and I have investigated and found that Yang Yizhong's home seemed to have been invaded last night, but I did not find any traces of a fight.

Therefore, I feel that the second possibility is that Yang Yizhong has surrendered to the enemy or was controlled by others, and then chose to hang himself. However, I have also examined Yang Yizhong's body.

There was nothing unusual, and Wei Chen suspected that the murderer had used some clever method to kill Yang Yizhong quietly. "Wei Zheng thought for a while and said.

After Yang Yanzhang listened to Wei Zheng's words, he was silent for a moment and said, "You mean, the murderer is very powerful?"

"At least I haven't seen it. Of course, what I mean is that your Majesty should send someone to find out the cause of Yang Yizhong's death. Otherwise, I always feel that something is not right about this matter.

Moreover, as far as I know, the Chang'an County Magistrate is also involved behind this matter. I feel that someone should have deliberately done something about the Chang'an County Magistrate. "Wei Zheng said.

When Yang Yanzhang heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought. This matter was definitely not just an ordinary crime of treason, but also if someone really wanted to target him.

So what should you do now? Yang Yanzhang was a little confused, and even felt like his head was about to explode.

Suddenly, the eunuch's hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"Xuan." Yang Yanzhang shouted. Soon, a eunuch walked up to Yang Yanzhang and bowed: "I pay my respects to your majesty."

"Why are you so panicked? Is there any new evidence from Yang Yizhong?" Yang Yanzhang asked.

The eunuch said hesitantly.

"Why, just say it if you have anything to say." Yang Yanzhang frowned.

"Your Majesty, Yang Yizhong has been killed." The eunuch swallowed and said.

"What!" Yang Yanzhang suddenly stood up and asked with wide eyes, "Who killed him!"

The eunuch shook his head and said, "I don't know about this slave, but all the soldiers beside Yang Yizhong died in the battle."

Yang Yanzhang fell onto the dragon bed.

"Your Majesty, I guess this case is different from the past. If Your Majesty wants to thoroughly investigate this matter, I am willing to do it for you!" Wei Zheng said with his hand in hand.

When Yang Yanzhang heard Wei Zheng's words, he immediately laughed and cursed: "Humph, you are a smart old man. You are afraid that I will be plotted by others, so you want to handle this matter on my behalf?"

"I just think this matter is special. Since your Majesty doesn't believe me, I'll take my leave." After Wei Zheng said this, he turned around and left.

"Hmph! Do you think you can run away? Stop Wei Zheng." Yang Yanzhang shouted loudly.

As soon as Yang Yanzhang finished speaking, the palace door was knocked open, and more than a dozen guards rushed in.

"How dare you! How dare you break into the palace without permission!" Yang Yanzhang yelled.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for offending you!"

"What are you doing! Hurry up and act arrogant! Where is Wei Zheng!" Yang Yanzhang shouted as he watched the guards surrounding Wei Zheng.

"Master Wei has been sentenced to death by His Majesty's decree." One of the soldiers knelt down and said.

"Where is Wei Zheng? I order you to find Wei Zheng immediately. If you can't find him, I will kill your nine tribes!" Yang Yanzhang yelled.

"I'll take your orders," the soldier said hurriedly. Then he retreated, and the rest of the soldiers followed suit. After a while, the civil and military officials who were originally in the palace also retreated.

"Get out here!" Yang Yanzhang said loudly when he saw everyone had left.

"I will join you, Your Majesty."

"No courtesy." Yang Yanzhang said: "I ask you, who of you can tell me what is going on!"

Yang Yanzhang pointed at a group of civil and military officials kneeling on the ground and said.

"Your Majesty, I don't know. Your Majesty, you asked me to check this Yang Yizhong, and I followed your instructions. There is nothing unusual in Yang Yizhong's family.

However, Yang Yizhong's family was full of various mechanisms. Even the old minister felt that Yang Yizhong died due to the tricks of the mechanism. "An official stood up and said cautiously.

"You old fox!" Yang Yanzhang snorted coldly: "If Yang Yizhong really died in the agency, wouldn't that show my incompetence?"
