Chapter Thirty-Eight: Grievances in the Court

Following.

The five martial arts hall owners who knelt outside the palace all night were dizzy and exhausted, and they had already lost hope of seeing the little emperor after kneeling all night.

They are about to leave, go back to find a relationship, the little emperor they must meet

Their martial arts hall died and was still killed by Zhou Cheng, and they couldn't swallow this breath.

"Squeak"

A piercing knock sounded, and a small eunuch came out:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty is invited. ”

The hearts of the five people, who had already hoped, rekindled hope.

When I see the little emperor, look at me, how can you be so angry for a week!

......

Above the court, the little emperor sat on the throne, domineering and leaking, and the officials were silent.

The matter of the five pavilion masters knocking on the palace door at night caused a stir in the imperial city, if it weren't for this, Lin Hao would not have summoned them, but handed it over to the courtiers of the imperial city to deal with.

The five hall masters went up to the hall together, looking at the solemn hall, the majestic little emperor, and the courtiers who were extremely respectful to the little emperor.

They couldn't help beating the drum in their hearts, saying that it was false not to be nervous, and that it was the first time they had seen the emperor.

The five of them knelt on the ground in unison and said in a loud voice:

"The grass people see my emperor. ”

"Knocking on the palace door at night, what is the so-called?"

Lin Hao swept the faces of the three of them, said indifferently, and his tone was calm, and he couldn't hear any emotions at all.

The five of them looked at each other, and one of the curators bowed and said:

"Back to Your Majesty, we are going to sue General Cheng Zhou today for contempt of the summoning order, and use the excuse of kicking the hall to kill five of our martial arts hall disciples, and ask Your Majesty to be the master of the grass people. ”

After saying just a few words, his eyes were red after he finished speaking, and he almost burst into tears.

It is said that the second male does not flick when he has tears, not to mention that the curator is already old, so crying in the court is even more convincing.

After he finished speaking, seeing that Lin Hao did not react, he simply squeezed out a few tears and cried:

"Your Majesty Mingjian, those five disciples are our most beloved disciples, and they will inherit the martial arts hall in the future, but they were poisoned. ”

He wiped away his tears and continued to choke up:

"That Cheng Zhou deceived people too much, relying on his own being a general, and being deeply appreciated by His Majesty, he acted recklessly, and committed murder on the street, which was really too bullying. I beg your majesty to call the shots!"

After he said this, he prostrated along with the rest of the curators, which seemed to be a prayer, but in fact it was persecution.

As the curators of the five martial arts halls of the Imperial City, if even the little emperor was coerced by them this time, then in the Imperial City in the future, their status would only get higher and higher.

The simple opening of a martial arts hall is no longer satisfied.

Now what they want is to cooperate with the authorities.

Lin Hao still looked at them with a cold face, and said coldly:

"Why did Cheng Zhou make a move?"

Superfluous nonsense means nothing to him, these curators are even more cunning than the ministers of the court, and the more straightforward it is to deal with these people, the better.

Several people heard that the little emperor had lived in the deep palace for a long time, so he naturally didn't know what was happening outside, and he definitely didn't know the cause of yesterday's incident.

Just because he doesn't know doesn't mean that others don't know.

The curator at the head quietly wiped the sweat from his palms, kowtowed again, and then shouted:

"Your Majesty Mingjian, yesterday my disciples went to the Royal Martial Arts Pavilion to kick the gym, and the people who won the martial arts hall were dissatisfied with our victory, so they killed someone. ”

Cheng Zhou watched in disbelief as this person reversed black and white, and in front of the little emperor, could he say such shameless words?

"Your Majesty. ”

Cheng Zhou took a step, knelt down straight, and said word by word,

"There were more than these five people in front of the martial arts hall yesterday, whether the minister killed anyone or not, those people can testify. ”

"You are an official, and yesterday in front of the martial arts hall were either your people or the people, who of them dared to testify against you?" the head of the museum retorted to him.

Cheng Zhou looked at him coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "What Ben will say is that he testified against you, deceived the king, and framed the court officials." ”

"This official sees, it's not a frame-up, right?" a civil official stood up and accused, "Cheng Zhou, for no reason, why did these people risk the crime of killing your head to frame you?"

"What do you mean, Lord Zhang?" asked Cheng Zhou.

"What does the old man mean, General Cheng knows it. Lord Zhang snorted coldly, "The general relied on His Majesty's favor and trust to facilitate the court's refusal to admit his guilt, who is bullying the king?"

When the rest of the courtiers saw that Lord Zhang was open, they couldn't hold back, and they turned against each other, saying that Cheng Zhou was not.

"The court is unfortunate, when the street is murdered, what is this what a general should do?"

"Alas, it's a pity for Your Majesty's favor. ”

"Cheng Zhou, so far, you still don't admit your guilt? ”

When the courtiers and the five curators reprimanded Cheng Zhou, Lin Hao sat firmly on the dragon chair and looked at Cheng Zhou in disappointment.

This scene happened to be seen by the head of the martial arts hall who secretly raised his head.

Lin Hao gently rolled his pupils, swept the faces of all the ministers meaningfully, and finally stopped his gaze on the five curators.

After all the people in the temple noticed his gaze and stopped his voice, he imperceptibly curled the corners of his mouth and confirmed:

"I'll ask you again, are you sure what you're saying is true?"

Several curators glanced at each other, and the head curator said solemnly:

"What the grass people said is true, I hope Your Majesty will see it, give justice to our disciples and punish the wicked. ”

Lin Hao was waiting for this sentence, he ordered someone to carry the corpses in, and then called the eunuchs around him to invite the imperial doctor over.

The five curators couldn't hear Lin Hao's words, but they just began to panic inexplicably, always feeling that what was going to happen next.

Sure enough, soon the eunuch returned, and he also took the chief imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital.

When the physician received the order, he immediately went to the corpses, uncovering the white cloth covering the corpses and examining them carefully.

Time passed little by little, and the five curators secretly gritted their teeth and watched the movements of the imperial doctor, almost unable to resist going up to stop them, but how could they be presumptuous in the court?

They were afraid of the little emperor and did not dare to act rashly.

"Back to Your Majesty. After the examination, the imperial physician knelt down to the little emperor and said truthfully, "The fatal wound of these people is a pinch mark on the neck, and there are indeed traces of being beaten on the body, but it is not fatal. ”

Hearing this, Lin Hao looked at the five curators silently, and asked with a question written in his eyes, didn't you say that Cheng Zhou had killed so many disciples? But these people were obviously strangled to death.

Cheng Zhou's ability, do you need to strangle them?

The five curators didn't expect that the little emperor would find a doctor to conduct an autopsy, but Rao was like this, and they still "fought with reason." ”

"Your Majesty!"

The head of the curator kowtowed again and again, and said hoarsely,

"It's Cheng Zhou, he strangled our disciples to death, it wasn't enough for him to beat them first, he actually killed them ruthlessly. ”

"He is a devil, a madman, beg Your Majesty to punish him, otherwise I will be unstable!"

"Presumptuous!"

Cheng Zhou interrupted him sharply,

"How does Your Majesty decide, it's not for you to be the master, why dare to say that my dynasty is unstable?"
