At Wang Zhezhai's residence.
"Master, master, bad news, the factory guards…the factory guards are here!”
The old servant barged in from outside and shouted loudly in fear.
" Bastard..." Wang Zhezhai hadn't finished cursing when he heard the word 'factory guard'. He was shocked and immediately struggled to get up from his new concubine and put on his clothes in a panic." Are you sure?" Is it really a factory guard?"
"Aiyo, Old Master, I'm not in the mood to joke at this time.”the old servant cried.
Wang Zhezhai was about to curse when an intense battle and screams came from outside.
"This is an internal matter. No one is allowed to move. Otherwise, kill without mercy!”This voice was sharp and was definitely the voice of a eunuch.
Wang Zhezhai's face turned pale and he ran out in a panic. Soon, he saw the leading eunuch.
"Eunuch, I'm innocent. I didn't do anything.”
"Hmph, if you didn't do anything, then don't do anything!”The leader, Eunuch Liu, snorted coldly as he looked at Wang Zhezhai, his eyes flashing with a fierce light." Lord Wang, you don't remember me, do you? Back then, you pointed at my nose and scolded the eunuchs.”
" Ah... It wasn't me. I didn't..." Wang Zhezhai shook his head repeatedly and refused to admit it.
"Humph! Not admitting it? It's no use, I'll remember you. Back then, you were in high spirits and even dared to scold the emperor.”Eunuch Liu obviously wouldn't mistake him for someone else.
It was also Wang Zhezhai who was courting death. He had always regarded himself as a clean and upright person. He felt that justice in the world was his own and that everyone else was a person who hid evil. He was in high spirits and incited the writing to scold the emperor, the eunuchs, and the treacherous officials. No one dared to scold him.
And now, retribution had come. Some eunuchs remembered it clearly and were now on their way to take revenge.
Soon, everyone in the Imperial Residence was driven out.
Eunuch Liu laughed coldly." Cuff all of them and throw them into the imperial prison for interrogation!"”
Wang Zhezhai fell to the ground, almost fainting from fright. The imperial prison was a place even more terrifying than the imperial prison. Those who went in could forget about coming out unscathed.
"Your Excellency, I'm innocent. We need evidence to arrest someone!”Wang Zhezhai shouted.
"What a joke, I am working for the Emperor, what evidence do I need? We are the evidence. Cut the crap and copy everything!”Eunuch Liu laughed at Wang Zhezhai's naivety. At this moment, he was extremely happy. He had finally gotten his revenge for the humiliation he had suffered in the past.
After a while, a eunuch came out with a wooden box.
"Eunuch Liu, I found the Along the River During the Qingming Festival.”
"Bring it over and take a look." Eunuch Liu carefully picked up the scroll and spread it out.
Two old eunuchs walked over and examined the painting carefully before nodding.
"This is authentic."
Eunuch Liu's face broke into a smile.""It's an authentic work. The Emperor has been looking forward to it for many years.”(Emperor was also one of the titles that eunuchs used to address the emperor to show their closeness.)
Eunuch Liu sneered at Wang Zhezhai."Wang Zhezhai, how dare you. Pavilion Master Yan asked for the Along the River During the Qingming Festival from you on behalf of the Emperor. I didn't expect you to be so bold as to use a fake to fool the Emperor.”
When Wang Zhezhai heard this, he knew that Yan Song was behind this. He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted. Before he fainted, he shouted,"Thief Yan, you and I are irreconcilable!”
In the subsequent raids, they found more than 100,000 taels of silver and banknotes, as well as many precious antiques, paintings, and calligraphy books worth more than 200,000 taels.
"Hmph, you still dare to call yourself an upright official. How shameless.”
Eunuch Liu had seen through these so-called clean streams. He turned around and returned to the Imperial Palace to report the good news to the Emperor.
Soon, Jiajing saw the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival (True)" and was immediately fascinated.
Jiajing laughed and said to Yan Song," Minister Yan, come over. I'll let you see what's real. It turns out that the fake is nothing compared to this!"”
Yan Song was blind and could not see any difference between the two.
Jiajing was in a good mood after he got the Along the River During the Qingming Festival. He directly confiscated the 200,000 taels of silver and gave 100,000 taels to Yan Song as a reward. From this, it could be seen how much Jiajing liked The River During the Qingming Festival.
As for whether Wang Zhezhai was wronged or not, and what twists and turns there were in the middle, Emperor Jiajing was very annoyed by these things and could not be bothered with them. He was already very satisfied with the paintings and money. Moreover, he was also an extremely confident person. He felt that Yan Song would not lie to him, so he felt that Wang Zhezhai must have deceived the emperor, so he did not show mercy when he raided the house.
……
……
" Wang Zhezhai deceived the emperor and presented a fake Along the River During the Qingming Festival to the emperor. He committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and is unforgivable…"
The next day, the news spread throughout the entire capital.
Countless commoners were dumbfounded.
A few days ago, he was still praising Minister Wang for being upright and unafraid of power. In the end, not long after, he was accused of deceiving the emperor. It was not enough to confiscate his family, and his entire family was thrown into prison.
The situation changed too quickly.
There was no need to guess. The people who were familiar with gossip knew that this was definitely Yan Song's masterpiece.
The Qi Party was dumbfounded. Before they could react, Yan Song had killed a member they had painstakingly nurtured?
The Qingliu were furious. This Yan Song was really too arrogant, too arrogant. All of them began to rub their palms together, ready to find an opportunity to impeach Yan Song.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity came the next day.
Yan Song had a conflict with the diplomatic mission!
Clear Stream, Qi Party, chicken is frozen!

(I only slept for a total of 4 hours today, so I can't type the fifth chapter. I'm too sleepy. I'll start to upload 5 chapters tomorrow!) Oh right, if you want to see any plot, let me know in the comments section. I'll set up a plot. For example, the Japanese pirates, refugees, Donglin Party, Andahan…)
