Chapter 39: The Witnesses

The five curators were so excited that they forgot where they were now, and hurriedly begged for mercy.

Lin Hao sat firmly on the dragon chair like a god, and repeated:

"I'll ask again, will you confirm that Cheng Zhou killed people on the street?"

Wu Wenyan was even more weak this time, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to let go, insisting that this was the case.

Lin Hao nodded and gave the eunuch beside him a look.

The eunuch understood, stepped forward and shouted:

"Chuan Niu Er, Li Si will meet you!"

As soon as his voice fell, two cloth-clothed people outside the hall walked in, and they were trembling and unsteady when they encountered such an occasion for the first time.

When they walked in front of the little emperor, they hurriedly knelt down and bowed their heads, not daring to offend Long uashuo Yan.

"The grass people knock to see the emperor!"

"Hmm!" Lin Hao nodded, pointed to the five curators, and said lightly, "Tell them, what did you see?"

They followed the little emperor's fingers to see that the five curators were kneeling on the side, so they swallowed their saliva, and only heard Niu Er say word for word:

"Back to Your Majesty. When we were making trouble in front of the martial arts hall yesterday, we were there, and we happened to see it. It was the five people from the martial arts hall who were looking for trouble, snatching people from the Royal Martial Arts Gym, and wounding the soldiers behind. ”

"The general arrived just in time, and they turned out to be disrespectful to His Majesty, so the general wounded them in a fit of rage. ”

Niu Er wiped the sweat from his forehead, tried his best to ignore the gaze that was stared at by the five curators, and continued: "Although the general shot at that time, the injury was definitely not fatal. ”

"We also heard it outside the palace just now, they said that the general strangled people, but we saw with our own eyes that the general didn't strangle them at all, it was ......"

"You are talking nonsense!" the five curators could no longer bear it anymore and interrupted him excitedly, "Where did you come from?

Why are things going more and more differently than they think?

"Your Majesty, it was done by Cheng Zhou. "If it weren't for him, how could my disciples die?

"How did they die, isn't it clear to the curator?" Cheng Zhou said quietly, "In order to frame me, the five disciples did not hesitate to mutilate themselves, which is really a big deal." ”

"No, it's not us!" they kept denying, "who do you think we are, this is our proud disciples, how could we kill them?"

"Really?" Lin Hao suddenly spoke on the dragon chair, "Since you think their words are false, then I will change the witness." ”

When the eunuch beside him heard this, he stepped forward again and called a man in.

When these curators saw the people who had come in, their eyes widened and their faces were full of shock.

It was none other than the second disciple of the Nancheng Five Martial Arts Pavilion.

After he came in, he first glanced at the five curators with resentment, and then knelt down in front of the little emperor.

"The grass people knocked on the emperor. ”

"The grass people have the courage to go to the temple today, begging Your Majesty to punish the real murderer and correct the death of my senior brother. ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed violently on the ground, and his forehead immediately turned red, but he didn't care about this, and with a crying voice, he said firmly:

"The grass people want to sue Wang Cheng for being the owner of the five martial arts halls, disregarding people's lives, mutilating disciples, and framing court officials, asking Your Majesty to learn from it. ”

Lin Hao glanced at several curators and asked:

"Make it clear. ”

"Yes!" the second disciple bowed his head, "that day, my senior brother came back to inform the master of the incident in front of the martial arts hall, and the master promised to avenge the senior brother at first, but who knew that after a few hours, he changed his face and strangled my senior brother to death." ”

After he finished speaking, the whole hall was in an uproar.

These people were so bold and arrogant, deceived the king, and framed the court officials.

The five curators didn't expect to bite the gold halfway, and the second disciple dared to come out to testify, and suddenly felt that the general trend had gone, and immediately begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty's mercy! I will wait for a moment to be confused before I will make this move, and I beg Your Majesty to spare us, if it weren't for Cheng Zhou who injured our disciples, we wouldn't have done this. ”

"We were also confused for a while, and I only wanted to express the evil anger in my heart and beg Your Majesty to spare my life. ”

Spare your life?

Lin Hao looked at them coldly, framed the general, and wanted to spare his life?

He ignored the pleas for mercy, raised his hand to summon a few guards, dragged them out, and immediately put them on death row, waiting to be released.

After the court was quiet again, the courtiers immediately changed their expressions of admiration, shouted Your Majesty's wisdom, and then knelt down to the little emperor.

The little emperor is worthy of being the little emperor, he is calm and methodical in the face of things, and he has long found out the faces of these martial arts hall directors, and today is the proof of Cheng Zhou.

They killed people and wanted to blame Cheng Zhou, so as to destroy the reputation of the court martial arts hall and bring benefits to their martial arts hall.

Lin Hao listened to the courtier's praise as usual, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Where are the prophets of the future?

However, he summoned Cheng Zhou last night, and after knowing the cause and effect of this matter, he knew that these people would not give up in order to suppress the military attachΓ©s of the imperial court, so he sent people to the five military attaches to investigate secretly, and at the same time looked for the people who saw everything during the day.

The prestige of the little emperor had already been established in the imperial city, and the people learned that the visitor was the little emperor's person, and they all excitedly provided clues, but they found two witnesses in two hours.

And a few people who went to the five martial arts halls also got the exact news, the second disciple of the Nancheng martial arts hall saw what his master had done with his own eyes, and he told him in conscience that he had to do something, so he decided to follow the little emperor's people into the palace and testify on the second day.

The matter was resolved, and Lin Hao waved away from the courtiers, leaving Cheng Zhou:

"Do you know what I left you for?"

"I don't know. ”

"You immediately go to the five martial arts halls, no matter what method you use, you have to let them return to the court for use, understand?"

Cheng Zhou was stunned for a moment, and thanked him.

The little emperor is willing to let him go, which means that he still trusts him, and he does not feel estranged from him because of this matter.

In the final analysis, if he hadn't beaten people on the street on impulse, he wouldn't have been caught, and such an injustice would have gone to the court.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will live up to the trust. Cheng Zhou kowtowed again.

On the way to the martial arts hall, Cheng Zhou kept thinking about what the little emperor said to him, and his heart felt stronger and stronger.

Your Majesty trusts me like this, I can't let him down, and I must fulfill the trust this time.

Looking at the back of Cheng Zhou's departure, Lin Hao was confident that as long as he won these martial arts halls, then the power of the imperial court in the rivers and lakes would become stronger.

With those martial arts halls, he would be able to get more powerful cultivators, so that foreign clans would not dare to covet them.

Thinking of this, he turned around and left the Jinluan Palace, and went to the palace martial arts training ground to continue practicing swords and enhance his strength, which was also necessary.

......

Outside the palace.

Cheng Zhou looked at the bustling avenue and went to find it too slowly, in case these martial arts halls ventilated and reported and twisted into a rope, then his task would be even more difficult to complete.

He ordered people to go to several martial arts halls at the same time to deliver letters, and invited the deputy director of each martial arts hall to the largest restaurant in Wangcheng, Yan Hui Building.
