Chapter 120: An Order from the Palace
Although he didn't understand why the emperor had to behave incompatibly with the queen mother to outsiders, at least in the court, he was sure that this master didn't think this way in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even Li Mu faintly felt that the throne didn't seem to be as attractive as it should have for their emperor!
Of course, this idea was only a flash, and it was ruthlessly thrown out of Li Mu's mind. After all, as a person close to the emperor, not to speculate about the Sacred Heart is the most basic principle.
And Chu Hengjue's behavior just now made Li Mu, who had served him for half his life, understand for the first time that his master was afraid that he was going to start doing it. After all, even the Queen Mother was shocked this time!
turned a thousand times in his heart, but he replied honestly and modestly.
"The old slave thinks that although what the Queen Mother did today was unexpected, there must be a reason for it!"
"Oh, then can you tell me what happened for a reason?" Chu Hengjue still asked casually.
"It's... The old slave doesn't dare to speculate!" Li Mu hesitated for a moment, some words may make others think that you are very smart, but if you say too much without any scruples, you are really smart.
"Say it, forgive you for your innocence!" It can be seen that Chu Hengjue seems to be in a good mood today.
Looking at the leisurely appearance of a certain emperor, Li Mu pulled his eyelids, bowed his body lower, and then slowly spoke.
"The Queen Mother changed her normal behavior today, and listed all kinds of crimes in Liujiang with a tough attitude, and even there is strong evidence for all of them, presumably..."Li Mu paused, secretly glanced at Chu Hengjue, and found that the latter's expression had not changed, and continued to speak: "Presumably it shouldn't be groundless!"
"Oh?" Chu Hengjue stretched the end of his words, glanced sideways at Li Mu, and hooked the corners of his mouth.
"Do you think the Queen Mother is here prepared today?"
Hearing this, Li Mu suddenly knelt on the ground and didn't make a sound, but his silent attitude on the ground just showed his agreement.
"The queen mother really gave me a surprise!" Ignoring Li Mu's kneeling, Chu Hengjue slowly spoke, and his tone couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.
Immediately, the hall fell into silence, Li Mu knelt there quietly, and Chu Hengjue closed his eyes again as if he was asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Chu Hengjue slowly raised his hand and waved his hand at Li Mu, and there was no emotion in his voice: "Stand down!"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he got up in response, ignoring the sore legs that knelt down, and bowed tremblingly and exited the inner hall.
And Chu Hengjue on the dragon couch let out a deep sigh. He was still holding his favorite string of blood-red Buddha beads in his hand, slowly rubbing it.
Xiao Hai, the old prime minister of Nangong is finally going to make a move! Presumably if you are here, you will definitely stop it!
We all know that if you really start, you will have to face more than just the Valley of Flowers.
However, don't worry, the old prime minister of Nangong is not such a disproportionate person, even if he doesn't leave a way back, I will protect those two children for you!
Chu Hengjue didn't know what to think, his hand changed from twisting to grasping, and his fingertips became a little white because of the tightening, which formed a sharp contrast with the string of blood-red Buddha beads.
A whisper wafted through the empty inner sanctum, dissipating into the air with a faint scent.
"This time, I won't miss an appointment again!"
The rising sun showed a small corner, reflecting the morning glow, and the capital also woke up from its silence. The vendors had already started setting up their stalls to sell. A new day begins with a wonderful morning sun.
For some, this day is a sign of endless bad luck or the end of fate.
For example, Liufu!
The reason is a secret decree passed down from the palace, so that the Siqing of Dali Temple led a group of officers and soldiers to surround Liufu and began to arrest them.
For a while, crying, shouting, noise, and so lively. There were also a lot of people around Liufu who came to watch the excitement.
Pointing and pointing, there is a lot of discussion.
Dali Temple Qing Yiru stood in front of the door with a calm face, looking at the vermilion door plaque engraved with the vigorous and powerful two big characters "Liufu", and sighed in his heart.
As the highest official position in Dali Temple, these arrest scenes are very common for him! It's just that since he took power, this is the first case of an official who is being investigated for the second grade, thinking about the colleagues who drank tea and chatted together a few days ago, in a blink of an eye, this once-famous Shangshu Lord has been sent to prison, and now the entire family has been punished. It's really emotional.
However, when he thought of the secret decree he received yesterday night, Yi Ru unconsciously corrected his mentality. Whether it was from the content or the attitude of the eunuch who passed the message, Yi Ru vaguely guessed something.
"All the personnel of Liufu were taken into custody in the prison, and three days later, they were beheaded at the noon gate!"
It seems that the Liu family is destined to disappear into the prosperous history of Lingyun's imperial capital!
At the same time, compared to the liveliness of Liufu, the tightly guarded Lingyun Prison also came to a big man who made the warden run before and after running and smiling faces, for fear of not being well served-Nangong Lin!
"Okay, you can go out first!" Nangong Lin said expressionlessly at the warden who nodded beside him, who nodded hurriedly and cautiously exited the 'ground' prison area.
Through the door, looking at the person wearing a dirty prison uniform, sitting with his head bowed in the messy straw mixed with all kinds of filth, Nangong Lin's mood fluctuated. I can't wait to kill him with my own hands right now! Suppressing the resentment in his heart, Nangong Lin pushed open the cell door and walked in.
A heavy 'squeak' broke the silence of the cell, and the prisoners sat with their heads bowed as if they hadn't heard.
And Nangong Lin didn't speak, just quietly looked at the person whose hands and feet were restrained by four iron chains the thickness of an adult's wrist.
A moment later, a hoarse voice sounded like a broken gong rubbing against a goosebump.
"Now at this time, I can come here to see my estimation, and it is estimated that the only one is the old prime minister of Nangong!"
"What should come will come!" Nangong Lin narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"Oh, that's right! I should have thought that all this was done behind your back, and it seems that I couldn't hide those things from you after all!" Liu Jiang's voice couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or self-deprecation.
"If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do!" the voice was cold and there was a hint of resentment. Watching Liu Jiang change from a high-ranking official to a lowly prisoner on death row in the heavenly prison in the blink of an eye, Nangong Lin only had the endless killing intent in his heart in addition to the deep pleasure.
Although Liu Jiang is not the ultimate person behind the death of his son and daughter-in-law, he is the lead buried in Lingyun.
No one knew that when he found out Liu Jiang's true identity, he suffered from the suffocating psychology that he couldn't get rid of for some reason.
The reason why he wrote to Chu Hengjue that he would no longer go to court often was because he was afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions after seeing Liu Jiang and would startle the snake!
Now, he's finally able to do it!
This is just the beginning!
