Chapter 41 Nothing to retreat from
Zhao Changshou looked at the ministers for a long time, but did not see a single person coming out, and finally his eyes fell on Lord Ling Yin at the front, and said, "Lord Ling Yin, if there is nothing to play today, then retreat from the dynasty, the king is tired!"
Ling Yin Zi glanced at all the ministers, and saw that they had nothing to do, so he bowed his head and said, "No!"
Everyone knelt down in unison and said, "We respectfully invite the king Sheng'an!"
"Retreat!"
Mi Huang stood up from the golden chair silently, watching the King of Chu fall asleep and being helped out of the golden palace from the side door by the golden sedan chair, and gradually walked away, as well as the ministers who left from the thirty-six Zhu Gate one after another, and couldn't help but sink their eyes.
Si Qin held her right arm and said puzzledly, "Lady, it seems that Lord Chen did not report the case of the displaced people this morning?......
"I've seen it!"
As soon as he went out, Chen Huang waited under the eaves of the Golden Palace, and said with a ashamed face, "Chen Huang has the trust of the princess!"
As soon as his words fell, he saw a group of people passing by the royal road in front of the Zhu Palace with a smile, one of them was in the official uniform of the three-tailed phoenix, with an uninhibited smile, it was Ruo Ao Zike who had not been seen for a few days!
The corners of the man's lips curled, and when his eyes narrowed slightly, he looked like a cunning fox, holding the hand of the wat board and congratulating, "I said that the second sister-in-law can return to the court, which is really gratifying!"
There are a few people behind him, all of them are the second ancestors of Yingdu City at a glance, and now they rely on the virtue of their fathers to hang some important positions in the court, one of them is the deputy captain of the current Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Situ Nan, I saw him step forward and pat Chen Huang on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, why is your face gloomy today, what is the case that is difficult again?"
"Do you want Captain Pontus to help you?"
Chen Huang naturally knew that he had secretly obstructed before, but he didn't tear his face, he just refused politely, "Don't work for Captain Situ." ”
"Well, let's go first!"
Situ Nan hooked his lips slightly, picked up the hand on Chen Huang's shoulder, and then as if he had something dirty, he took out a handkerchief and wiped it, threw it away, and finally waved his hand to beckon Ruo Aozike and them to leave.
Mi Huang's gaze went back and forth between the three of them, and he already understood that today's events were afraid that something would change halfway.
After a few of them laughed and walked away from the two of them, Chen Huang told Ling Yin Ziban about summoning him early in the morning, "Lady, this case is not easy, unless we can find more conclusive evidence or human evidence, otherwise now all the account books in this case are destroyed, only based on the confessions of the three brothers and sisters of the Xian family, it is impossible to report Ruo Ao Duwei, and there will even be suspicion of false accusation." ”
Mi Huang was silent when he heard this, and saw that the ministers who were walking in the square in the distance also let out bursts of chuckles, as if they didn't know what the people outside the palace were talking about.
Li Lao asked with a smile, "Lord Lingyin, did you send someone to deliver a message back? I'm afraid that the first battle with the Jin Kingdom will be between these two days." ”
Ling Yin Zi walked in the front, and said slowly, "Well, Yan'er, I'm afraid that this first battle will take some thought and time, and now I only send back one or two letters from my family to report safety." ”
Wang Yin smiled behind him and boasted, "At this time, Lord Youtu has not yet returned to the court, I am afraid that he is busy preparing for the autumn harvest, once this second batch of military rations is connected, this Northern Expedition battle, why worry about it, in previous years, it was my Chu State because of the lack of food and clothing due to the big water, and every time there was a big war, there was no need to worry, let alone rescue Zheng State, and occupying the entire Jin State and even the entire northern territory was just around the corner." ”
"Haha, exactly!"
Old Li bowed, "When the second batch of military rations is sent over, I'm afraid that the first battle will be almost over, and we can also hear the good news of the horse master." ”
"Haha, what Elder Li said is right!"
Old Situ Zhao Hou bowed his head and said, "If these Central Plains people meet us Ruo Ao Horse this time, I am afraid that they will have to plant a big heel, knowing that we Chu people are powerful." ”
The ministers laughed one after another, their eyes were full of anticipation for this battle, and the so-called people's livelihood and suffering were ignored.
"Lady?"
Chen Huang kept looking at the woman in a phoenix robe standing under the eaves of the Golden Palace, and said worriedly, "And Lord Ling Yin also said that he is not forbidden to investigate this case, but it can't affect the current war." ”
"Well, I know. ”
Mi Huang retracted his gaze and looked at him and said, "Since this is the case, we will continue to investigate until we find out the evidence!"
"But where do we go to find this evidence?"
Chen Huang said hesitantly, originally they hoped to use Lord Yin and the King of Chu to put pressure on Ruo Ao Yuejiao and arrest him before coming to the Ministry of Trial, but now everything is reversed, they are the ones who are being pressured, and Ruo Ao Yuejiao is safe and sound.
"How much evidence do we have now?"
Mi Huang asked.
"Not much, plus the disappearance cases in the past five years, there are nearly 1,000 cases, but most of the bitter masters have disappeared because no one has tried them in previous years, and I am afraid that they will not be able to collect them for a while, and now there are only about 100 households who come to report the case, far less than 50,000 people. Chen Huang frowned and replied.
Unless they can find a spare ledger, as in the case of Zhou Mu, but now that Ao Yuejiao's people have taken leave to recuperate in the mansion, Ling Yin said that he must gather all the evidence before he can be arrested.
It was obvious that Ruo Ao was protecting him.
This case is not easy.
"Okay, I know, anyway, there is still time, this case has already been spread, and soon the people of the nearby counties will be able to hear it. Mi Huang said.
"Hmm. ”
Chen Huang nodded, but they couldn't control the time, if it took a year and a half to collect all the accusations of the bitter master, what was the point?
Back in the dormitory of the East Palace, Si Hua came out with a gift box and frowned and said, "Lady, we have found the things left by the concubine you asked us to find in the phoenix bed, and it is an eight-tailed phoenix's back clothes." ”
"Rear-service?"
Mi Huang raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, the same size as the princess, and in addition to that, there is a royal robe, but it is for an adult man. Si Hua pulled her aside and said in her ear, she didn't dare to take out the royal robe in a grand manner, and kept it in the phoenix bed for fear of being seen, saying that they had a rebellious heart in the East Palace.
How could the horse master give such a gift?
What's to be done?
Seeing this, Si Qin hurriedly ordered someone to close the door of the East Palace, and the door of the dormitory was also closed, and even Si Mo and a few of their newly promoted girls rushed outside, ordering Si Jian and Xiao Zhengzi to guard against it, just like a thief.
Mi Huang touched the clothes and embroidery workmanship, which was incomparably luxurious, no different from what Ruo Ao Ziyan had prepared before, and suddenly asked, "You said that Yuhuang didn't fly back? What about Mo Yan?"
"Nor did ...... Si Jian and I haven't seen them for the past few days, could it be that the Jade Phoenix flew back by itself, and the horse didn't have time to report back because of the tight war?" Si Hua, who had been guarding the palace, shook his head.
Mi Huang looked deeply at the royal robes in the two brocade boxes, and said, "Bring two braziers, burn these two clothes, and don't leave a trace." ”
Si Hua and Si Qin immediately twisted the two pieces of clothing into rags with scissors, and threw the broken steps into the brazier, and the Si Shu stood guard by the open window, letting all the smoke disperse.
Mi Huang quietly looked at the two golden phoenixes on the royal robe in the copper basin that were licked by the fire, and seemed to turn into a fire phoenix in the golden flames and ready to fly, and finally got up and said, "Si Jian, swing Ruo Ao Mansion!"
"Yes, lady!"
