342.

On the throne side of the Jinluan Palace, the small yellow door shook the dust lightly, and shouted sharply: "There is a morning music, but there is no retreat from the dynasty-"

As soon as the words fell, a speech official came out of the crowd, knelt on the smooth gold brick floor, and said respectfully: "Weichen has something to playβ€”"

The emperor nodded expressionlessly and said, "Accurate." Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

The official knelt and said: "The emperor, the night before, there was an incident in the west of the capital, there was a prince with the respect of the prince, arson slaves, robbed the people's daughter, and the brother of the people's daughter, Ye Wenjiang, who entered Beijing to take the exam, was beaten to death, this matter has been known to the people, and aroused the people's anger, the people have passed on the word of mouth, the crowd is angry, so that the face of my heavenly family, greatly humiliated, and I hope the emperor will investigate!" ”

The emperor's white thick eyebrows frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "There is such a thing? Do you know which prince did it? ”

As he spoke, the emperor glanced at the prince who was sitting under him silently, intentionally or unintentionally.

The official said respectfully: "Weichen visited the people for a whole day, and Ren learned that the prince who committed murder was ...... It is the fifth prince, His Royal Highness the King of England. ”

The emperor was furious, slapped the case, and shouted: "What a boldness! I decreed that I would open Enke, and I wanted to collect the hearts of the world's scholars, so that all the talents of the world would be in my ranks, and the king dared to commit such a great evil deed, if he was not punished, how could he convince the people? ”

When the officials saw that the emperor was angry, they all knelt down and bowed, and said in unison: "The emperor is angry-"

The emperor had a gloomy face and said coldly: "King Xuanying will go to the palace, explain this matter clearly!" ”

The little yellow door guarding the door of the main hall hurriedly walked out and passed the decree.

After waiting for a pillar of incense, just when the emperor and the ministers were a little impatient, a figure staggered into the Jinluan Palace, and as soon as he stepped into the threshold, he knelt on the ground with a thud and shouted: "Father, father, help!" ”

Ren Xiaoyao was originally dozing, but was awakened by this person's voice, stared at it, and was suddenly startled, looked left and right, and saw that no one paid attention to him, so he quietly moved in, and then shrank his neck weakly, his body was short, and he disappeared among the ministers.

The person who stumbled into the Jinluan Hall and called for help was none other than the King of England.

I saw that the prince's robe he was wearing was already ragged, torn into strips of rags, hanging on his body one by one, and the trousers on the lower half of his body disappeared, leaving only two fluffy thighs, half-covered under the sparse robe, and when the cold wind blew, the cheongsam swayed, showing a bit of style that wanted to be covered and exposed. His hair was messy, his face was blue and swollen, he couldn't recognize his original appearance, and the whole person looked like a remnant of a dozen strong men.

Ren Xiaoyao hid among the ministers, looked through the gap in the crowd, and saw the tragic situation of the British king, Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his mouth, - Am I in trouble again? This guy who looks like a pig from afar, and looks like a pig up close, is actually the king of England? That's a big joke, isn't it......

Ren Xiaoyao and the fat man originally planned, the prince and the king of Shou Ying, no one can be offended, An An did his own errands, accumulated his own strength, and waited for the opportunity to move, but now the development of the situation seems to be a little out of control, who knew that the guy in the morning turned out to be the king? Besides, the guards around him are too hard, and if you beat up this unlucky child, I guess even his father won't recognize him......

How good is that? ――Anyway, why didn't the Jinluan Hall open a small back door next to it? If I sneak out the back door, won't there be nothing?

Seeing this, the hundred officials were in an uproar, and the originally quiet and silent Jinluan Hall seemed to have flown into a hundred thousand flies, and the discussion buzzed.

The emperor was also taken aback when he saw the king, sat on the dragon chair and leaned back unconsciously, and exclaimed, "Who are you?" ”

Ren Yao sighed silently, and lo and behold, he didn't even know his father anymore.

The King of England was lying on the ground and was crying, and when he heard the emperor speak, he raised his head in astonishment, revealing a swollen face like a pig's head, covered with snot and tears, and said vaguely: "Father." It's me! Erchen is the fifth prince of the British king! ”

The emperor was taken aback again, and said in amazement: "You...... How did you become like this? ”

When the king heard this, he immediately felt sadness, and slammed his head on the ground, howling: "Father Emperor Mingjian." This morning, the ministers went to court. I've run into a gangster......"

Although he understood that the time was wrong, Ren Xiaoyao hid among the ministers and still laughed out with an inopportune "poof".

The minister standing next to Ren Xiaoyao looked stunned, as if he didn't understand why someone could still laugh at this time.

Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly put away his expression, and he also looked puzzled and stunned. As if nothing happened, he pretended to follow the ministers to find someone to laugh at.

In the middle of the Jinluan Palace, the King of England was still kneeling on the ground, aggrievedly telling his unlucky encounter: "...... Erchen only collided slightly with his carriage, and it would have been fine if he had taken a step alone. But the man did not give up, relying on the strength of others, and without saying anything, he pulled his son off the horse and ...... Woo, a painful beating! Father, look, look, what did he beat his sons into! That's not all, he also instructed the guards to smash his son's carriage. Dozens of sons' retinue were also beaten to the point that they couldn't move, father, father...... Ask your father to be the master of your sons! If I don't punish this fang, where is the majesty of my heavenly family? Where is the face of my royal family......"

The emperor frowned deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Can you see what the person who beat you looks like?" ”

The King of England. Then he lowered his head a little ashamedly, and muttered: "At that time, it was too dark to see his appearance clearly, and Erchen only knew that he was a young man. Hundreds of guards ......"

The emperor's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this, and the dragon's eyes majestically glanced at the Jinluan Hall for a week. When his gaze swept over Ren Xiaoyao, he deliberately stayed on him for a while, his eyes full of anger.

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes dodged, his neck was so shrunk that he couldn't shrink anymore, seeing that the emperor had been staring at him, he couldn't help but feel numb for a while, and finally stood up a little straighter, and smiled at the emperor from afar with embarrassment.

When the emperor saw Ren Xiaoyao's weak expression, his heart suddenly understood. So he glared at Ren Xiaoyao angrily and snorted, his voice low and inaudible.

A young man, with hundreds of guards, who else could this person be?

The Manchu civil and military forces immediately had a number in their hearts, and more than a hundred complicated and incomprehensible eyes looked at Ren Xiaoyao at the same time, and the ministers had different eyes, some worried, some admired, some disgusted, and many gloated.

Ren Xiaoyao saw that everyone was looking at him, and his eyes seemed to be 100% sure that he was the one who committed the murder, and Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but be angry. Depend on! What do you mean by looking at me like that? Does Lao Tzu look like a suspect? Catch the traitor and catch the double, catch the thief and catch the dirty, you old things have no evidence, do you want to wronged the good people?

I can't help but say that Master Ren's psychological endurance is really strong, obviously he did it, but he kept hypnotizing himself in his heart for the first time, I am innocent, I am innocent, I didn't do anything......

The emperor didn't seem to see the civil and military eyes of the Manchu Dynasty, and after staring at Ren Xiaoyao, he quickly withdrew his gaze, and said angrily to the civil and military officials with a frosty face: "Where is Yin in the capital?" ”

A middle-aged man in a four-grade crimson official uniform wiped his cold sweat and knelt on the ground trembling, this person was Yin Fan Fengru of Jinling Mansion, who had been in office for less than three months.

"Wechen...... Wechen is in. ”

"Humph! Fan Fengru, you are in charge of the peace of the capital, but someone under your rule dares to beat the prince of the dynasty, how do you explain this? ”

Fan Fengru's face was pale, and he didn't dare to wipe the cold sweat on his head, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen is guilty, Weichen is not strictly governed, and the crime deserves death!" ”

"I order you to do your best to solve this case as quickly as possible, no matter who is involved in this matter, according to my Dahua law, you should be arrested and killed, and you must not condone it! It must be punished severely! The emperor meant something, and after speaking, he glared at Ren Xiaoyao seemingly inadvertently.

As soon as the emperor's voice fell, he heard an abrupt voice in the crowd, which seemed to be righteous and a little flattering.

"Wechen...... Top! Punish! It must be punished severely! Such outlaws, if caught, they must be ...... Uh, by all means, ......"

"Huh?" At this moment, his face was full of awe, with a righteous expression of "eliminating evil", the ministers knew it, so they looked at Ren Xiaoyao with great interest to see how he planned to deal with the "outlaw".

Ren Xiaoyao rolled his eyes and continued: "Ahem, you must ...... Fines him! Well, let him know his mistakes and correct them......"

When the ministers heard this, their heads were full of black lines: "............"

A sentence was mentioned by Ren Houye. put it down gently, and a fluttering "fine" brought such a bad atrocity over, which made people have to admire the ability of Ren Hou Ye to spend thousands of pounds.

The King of England was lying on the ground and crying, but when he heard Ren Xiaoyao speak, he suddenly gasped. Hiss-this voice...... It sounds familiar!

The king immediately stopped crying. When I looked up, I saw that in the gap between the ministers' ranks, a young man with a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes was holding a serious face, and the expression on his face was so jealous and hateful. felt the same way, as if it was not the King of England who was beaten, but himself.

The king stared at Ren Xiaoyao for a long time, smacking his mouth, and recalling the voice of Ren Xiaoyao just now. Well, that's familiar! However, he didn't dare to be sure whether Ren Xiaoyao did it, after all, this was the Jinluan Palace, a solemn and solemn place, and he didn't have any physical evidence, even if Ren Xiaoyao was identified on the spot, I am afraid it would be over.

And although the king of England didn't know Ren Xiaoyao, he saw his righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and he was also confused in his heart. This person took the initiative to speak for me in the Jinluan Palace, shouldn't he be the one who beat me? How can a thief cry out to catch a thief?

In a moment of hesitation, Ren Xiaoyao twisted his body and squeezed out of the courtiers' ranks, walked to the king's side, and knelt down facing the emperor. He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, such a bold man, he must not let go if he is caught!" You must vent this evil breath for His Royal Highness! Fight back this face for the heavenly family! Penalty! He will be severely fined, so that he will not dare to beat people for the rest of his life. In the future, I will be honest and do my duty......"

Ren Xiaoyao knew that the emperor must have somewhat understood that this matter had something to do with him, so the last sentence faintly had a bit of a taste of begging for mercy.

The emperor stared at Ren Xiaoyao with an angry smile. Play Taste: "Fine? ”

The King of England suddenly raised his head and said unhappily: "Father, what is the fine!" This person insulted my royal family, beat the prince, and rebelled, he must be beheaded all over the house, and the nine clans must be destroyed! ”

Ren Xiaoyao knelt beside him, was startled when he heard the words, and said in a trembling voice: "Wow...... You're too ruthless, aren't you? ”

The King of England glanced at Ren Xiaoyao and snorted: "If this person dares to beat this king, he is despising the heavenly family, and the fine is enough." - Hey, haven't asked your surname yet? ”

Ren Xiaoyao arched his hand and said with a forced smile: "Your Majesty, Ren Xiaoyao, has seen His Royal Highness the King." ”

"You're Ren Yao?" The king's swollen eyes, which were only two slits, lit up, and he tried to open them wide and look at Ren Xiaoyao, his eyes were complicated and difficult to understand, as if he was jealous, hateful, and fearful.

Ren Xiaoyao nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, fortunately, I will be lucky!" ”

The swollen face of the king of England forced a smile on his swollen pig's head: "It's easy to say, this king has long wanted to get acquainted with Lord Ren, and he has never had a chance, but today he wants to get close to the adult." ”

"The prince is polite, and after a while, the court will be dispersed, and the lower official will invite the prince to drink flower wine on the painting boat of the Qinhuai River......"

"Oh, how can you let Lord Ren break the bank? This king invites you......"

The two knelt side by side on the gold brick floor of the Jinluan Palace, in front of the emperor and the civil and military officials, as if no one was on the side, the two looked like they hated each other, and they looked at each other, which made the ministers on the side look straight. - Is this the Golden Luang Hall or the Teahouse?

The emperor saw that Ren Xiaoyao and the king of England talked very happily, the two of them were polite to each other, and after a few words, they couldn't wait to cut off the head of the chicken and burn the yellow paper in this golden palace, and worship as brothers with different surnames, the emperor watched quietly, and a little playful smile flashed in his eyes.

"You two shut up!" After a long time, the emperor finally shouted with a gloomy face.

Ren Xiaoyao and King Ying were both shocked, and when they came back to their senses, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu was staring at them strangely, but the emperor was glaring at them with an angry face.

The two of them bowed their heads at the same time in unison, and said no more.

"The king of England was beaten, and ordered Jinling Mansion Yin to investigate it as soon as possible, arrest the perpetrators, and give me and the king of England an explanation!"

"Wechen...... Compliance. Yin Zhan of Jinling Mansion trembled and kowtowed, and glanced sideways at Ren Xiaoyao, who was kneeling side by side with the King of England, Fan Feng seemed to have swallowed Coptis chinensis, and his mouth was full of bitterness.

This murderer...... is kneeling with the victim, the two of them are so affectionate that they are about to worship the handle, do I dare to arrest him?

The king of England bowed his head and sobbed: "Father Xie is the master of his sons!" ”

In the early days, the beating of the King of England was delayed for more than half an hour, and it finally came to an end for the time being.

However, Ren Xiaoyao knew that this matter was not over, and the king of England would definitely know that he was the murderer after the dynasty dispersed, and he said that he would hurry up and please him later, and make a good relationship with him before he knew the truth, so he didn't really want to turn his face with him for this matter.

"The King. I ask you, the night before yesterday, you instructed a domestic slave in the west of the city to beat Ye Wenjiang, a son who rushed to take the exam in Yuezhou, to death, but is there such a thing? "To get to the point. The emperor's expression couldn't help but be a little cold. His eyes were sharp and he looked straight at the king.

When the King of England heard this, a little panic flashed on his face, and then he immediately regained his composure, and argued in a hurried tone: "There is no such thing! Father, this is a malicious frame-up by someone. How could Erchen do such an immoral and unethical act? I hope my father will check clearly! ”

Ren Xiaoyao knelt next to the King of England, and the King of England's panic clearly fell on Ren Xiaoyao's eyes, and he immediately understood that the King of England was denying.

The emperor snorted coldly, and his eyes slowly scanned the ministers. He said coldly: "I rule the country with benevolence, all the people of my Hua Dynasty, from the princes to the pawns, in my eyes, no matter whether they are high or low, they are all my people. This matter must be investigated and explained, and his family must be explained! Tell you the truth, the King, is it really not your doing? ”

The King of England's face was a little pale, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "Father." This is definitely not the work of the sons! Please check it out! ”

Ren Xiaoyao secretly despised in his heart, a life was lost, you actually pushed two, five or six, and simply didn't admit it. How can you be more shameless than me?

The emperor looked at the king and sneered: "Check." Of course, I want to investigate, no matter who is involved in this matter, it must be dealt with according to the law, and the prince will be guilty of the same crime as the common people! ”

The crown prince, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said at this time: "Father, the son believes that the fifth brother of the emperor is innocent. ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Everyone knows that King Shou and King Ying returned to Beijing this time to compete with the crown prince for the throne, and the two terms can be said to have made a lot of trouble, but now His Royal Highness the Prince is speaking for the King of England in the Golden Palace, which really makes people doubt the true intentions of the prince.

The King of England also raised his head in surprise and glanced at the prince rather strangely. I know what I did, after the servants punched Ye Wenjiang to death a few times the night before, the king of England was so frightened that he fled in a hurry, and he didn't even bother to bury Ye Wenjiang's body, and later after returning to the house, he remembered to cover it up, and sent someone back to take a look, and found that Ye Wenjiang's body was missing.

If you want to solve this murder case, it is actually very simple, just check it, he will not be able to escape, even if there is a domestic servant who is guilty, he is at least guilty of arson.

Now the prince is openly speaking for him, this is not a small matter, knowing that the two terms have become like enemies, today he still speaks for himself, he ...... What is it for? Gestures, or is there another conspiracy?

The emperor quickly glanced at the prince and said in a deep voice: "Prince, do you know who killed Ye Wenjiang?" ”

Ye Wenjiang's case can be big or small, which is why the emperor attaches so much importance to it. Ye Wenjiang is a man, a person of meritorious fame, when Pan Wenyuan's rebellion has just been quelled, the people are still suspicious, the emperor chose to open Enke in March this year, the purpose is to collect the hearts of the world's scholars, through the mouth of the scholars, to appease the people of the world. At such an important time, a man who entered Beijing to take the exam died on the streets of the capital, and it has already caused a stir among the people, if this matter is not investigated, how can the emperor accept the heart of the world's scholars? How to appease the people of the world?

Seeing the emperor asking, the prince hurriedly turned sideways and said respectfully: "Father, although the son doesn't know who killed Ye Wenjiang, but the son believes that the fifth brother of the emperor will not do such evil deeds, the father works for the country day and night, and the prince can't share the worries for his father, as a minister, the son of man, he is already very ashamed, how can he make it so that his father is fair and free in the hearts of the people, why didn't the father order a thorough investigation of this matter, and give the people and scholars a truth, and also return the fifth brother of the emperor to an innocence?" ”

The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, this matter must be investigated!" Where is Chu Weisong, the secretary of the Criminal Department? ”

Chu Wei responded with a sigh of relief, and was just about to leave the class, but the prince interrupted: "Father, the emperor is slow, if this case is handed over to the Criminal Department, I am afraid that there will be disagreement with the law." This case is serious, different from ordinary homicide cases, it is related to the reputation of the royal family, and the people and scholars of the world are also very concerned. ”

The emperor stared at the crown prince and said lightly: "The prince is reasonable, do you have a better candidate?" ”

The crown prince thought sideways for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Father, the son suddenly thought just now, didn't Lord Ren Xiaoyao Ren happen to be responsible for the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials?" The victim of this case is the son of Yuezhou, a person with meritorious fame, and although the fifth brother of the emperor is the respect of the prince, he is also a member of the hundred officials, why didn't the father hand over the case to Lord Ren to find out, wouldn't it just fit the identity and rights and responsibilities of the three emperors? ”

Ren Xiaoyao heard what he said, what's going on? I didn't recruit anyone and didn't mess with anyone, why did you get involved with me again?

His mind turned slightly, and he suddenly understood, not good! The prince wants to provoke a conflict between me and the king of England, and come to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, damn! It's insidious! Did Lao Tzu provoke you? If Lao Tzu wants to investigate the King of England, even if there is no contradiction, he has to find out the contradiction, not to mention that Ren Xiaoyao is like a mirror in his heart, he knows that most of the people named Ye Wenjiang were killed by the King of England, if he really investigates, the spearhead will definitely be pointed at the King of England in the end, so wouldn't he have offended King Shou and King Ying in a row?

On a deeper level, he and the fat man advance and retreat together, if he pinches with King Shou Ying, the prince will easily withdraw from this battle, and leisurely watch himself and the king of England lose both. Since then, no one has competed with him for the crown prince.

What a trick to drive away the wolf, he will definitely not have a ************ to give birth to a son in the future! Your Majesty, Weichen has not been feeling well recently, and he is about to ask the emperor for a few days of sick leave, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on this important task, and I also ask the emperor to invite another master......" Seeing that the emperor was pondering, as if he was intent on moving, Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly spoke.

The prince smiled and said: "Lord Ren is young and strong, it is the time to serve the country, the body is a little unwell, when there is no big problem, why should Lord Ren refuse?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao stared at the smiling prince with hatred in his eyes, this guy seems to be ready to deal with me and the fat man, and he has to be careful in the future.

"No, no, no, the emperor Mingjian, Weichen ...... yesterday Yesterday I slept outside the mansion......" Ren Xiaoyao raised his head and looked at the emperor's face carefully, and then said with a little embarrassment: "...... Spring Festival ...... Seven times during the Spring Festival, my body is already very weak, and I can't bear the heavy responsibility......"

Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao even took out such a secret thing as an excuse in order to refuse this matter, the hundred officials couldn't help laughing, and the emperor couldn't help grinning, and then put on a straight face and shouted in a deep voice: "Bold!" Let me go, you are getting more and more presumptuous! This is the Golden Luan Palace, a place of great solemnity, is it the place for you to talk about those men and women who are prostitutes? Also, the law of the Chinese Dynasty, court officials are not allowed to stay in the Qinglou overnight, and they are not allowed to ** women, let them be free, you are so bold, you dare to know the law and break the law! Where did you put your wife, Princess Qianyun? Where is the majesty of the law of the Chinese Dynasty? (To be continued.) )
