Chapter 138: Framed
In the prison, "Lin Qisheng" woke up in a daze, touched his face, and found that he didn't know who had changed his face, he quickly understood that he was framed, he calmed down, and the only way to do this was to let his companions save him through other methods, as long as he got out of prison, he would have a way to find the person who framed him.
Inside the Royal Palace
The queen has been disliked by the queen mother for the past few days, and every time she goes to ask for peace, it is not that she has a headache or brain fever or that she is not feeling well, Tian Ruixin turned around and left the Qianqing Palace with resentment.
"This old woman wants to this palace!" The queen was so angry that she threw the bottle on the table on the ground, she suddenly turned around, and her eyes shot at Mama Jin, "How is the emperor's situation now?" ”
Mama Jin stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, please rest assured, the emperor will take the Life and Death Immortal Pill you developed every day." ”
The queen nodded thoughtfully, and there was a gloom in her eyes: "It is a matter of time before that old thing dies, the palace is currently most worried about the matter of the crown prince, and the palace has no heirs tied to her side, and now Concubine Rong's status is becoming more and more noble, that old thing almost holds her in the palm of her hand, and it is difficult to understand the happiness of this palace if she is not removed." ”
Mama Jin took a step forward to find a way for the queen: "If Concubine Rong is charged with rebellion and angers Long Yan, then the Lin family will be dead." ”
Unexpectedly, the queen shook her head: "This trick is too obvious, it is easy for people to suspect that such a thing happened when Lin Ran and Gao Lian were about to get married, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will find out that it was done by this palace." ”
Mama Jin blinked: "Queen, this..."
The queen raised a gloomy smile: "This palace has its own ideas. ”
On this day, the queen saw Concubine Rong, the two talked for a long time, Mama Jin was waiting outside, afraid that someone would come in, and after almost a stick of incense, Concubine Rong Lin Yuan walked out with red eyes.
Seeing her leaving, Mama Jin stepped forward to help the queen and asked, "Queen Mother, did she agree?" ”
The queen smiled faintly: "If she doesn't agree, she has to agree, but her handle has fallen into the hands of this palace, if this palace wants her to go east, she has to go east, and she has to go west." ”
Mama Jin asked curiously, "Queen Mother, what is the secret?" ”
"Isn't that the that she was pregnant out of wedlock?" The queen smiled coldly, "Now the emperor can tolerate her and coax her, if one day he knows that the concubine he loves is not a famous lady for a long time, I don't know how she feels?" ”
"Yes, the queen is wise." Mama Jin flattered.
The queen provoked a gloomy look in the corner of her eyes, and said with a smile: "No matter what, Concubine Rong is always an obstacle to the palace, and sooner or later, the palace will get rid of her." ”
On this day, the emperor Gao Cheng was in the hall to review the chapter, suddenly, a very sturdy man, the jujube stick rushed into the palace gate, he injured the eunuch guarding the door, all the way to the front hall under the eaves, only to be caught by the guards.
"Your Majesty, discover the assassin!" A guard escorted the reckless man, and Gao Cheng kicked the man in shock: "Hand it over to the Criminal Department for a good interrogation!" ”
"Yes."
Liu Yuan, the imperial historian of the Criminal Department, investigated very quickly, and handed over the case to the emperor within a few days, he knelt on the ground and said: "This person's name is Zhang Li, he is a peasant in Xianzhou, he speaks upside down, as if he is crazy, when he interrogates him, he doesn't know what he is talking about, and he also says that he wants to eat fast and beg for food, and the minister thinks that this person is a madman and should be killed." ”
Emperor Gao Cheng frowned: "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, with his skills, he can actually get to my palace so easily, I'm afraid that someone is behind it!" Check, check it carefully for me. ”
A few days later, the second interrogation was the criminal department Langzhong Hu Yanwen, he went to the hall and said: "The minister was tortured to let that Zhang Li tell the truth, he said that because a few local ruffians burned his firewood and grass, he was angry, so he came to Beijing in April, thought of the court to shout grievances, after coming in from the east gate, I didn't know how to go, I had to go west, on the way I met two guards who drew swords, but was stopped, let him go back, he was angry and injured two guards, and he broke in. ”
The emperor's flat voice came: "It's that simple? ”
Hu Yanwen knelt on the ground and couldn't see the emperor's anger, and said in shock: "What the minister said is true!" ”
"I don't think it's that simple!" The emperor Gao Cheng threw the book on the table on the ground, "I will give me three more days to check it out, otherwise I will come to see me." ”
"Yes, yes." Hu Yanwen was so frightened that he crawled away with the rolling belt.
Seeing that Hu Yanwen had left, the emperor said to Eunuch Li on the side: "Gonggong Li, send an order to go down and let Wang Zhicai, the head of the Criminal Department, be interrogated and tortured." ”
"Huh." Eunuch Li took the holy decree and left.
Wanting to be enlightened, Gao Cheng coldly took out an anonymous letter, which carefully wrote Zhang Li's real name and background, the main reason why he was angry was because these people were incompetent, and even an illiterate reckless person would be deceived.
The third interrogation was Wang Zhicai, who has always been iron-faced and selfless, he did not directly use torture, but starved him for a few days first, and then poured water on him, so that he even vomited jaundice later, and at night there were always figures dangling in front of his eyes, and there were gusts of yin wind in his ears, and he didn't eat well for a few days, didn't sleep well, and there were still people's cries at night, Zhang Li didn't go down, and had to tell the truth.
"The little one's name is Zhang Wu, the family is very poor, one day, a man came in and told me, as long as I follow what he explained, he promised me to give me a few acres of land to farm, so I entered the city, followed the man before I told me another strong man, this strong man took me to a compound that I can't name, and told me, you hit one at the other, kill one, and they will come to save me later, and then he gave me a jujube stick, and led me through the side gate to the palace gate, and the gatekeeper stopped me, I knocked him down, and then there were more guards, and I was caught, how did I know that the person they were going to kill was the emperor, spare my life, even if I was given ten guts, I wouldn't dare! ”
"Okay, as long as you tell who is in charge, I will spare your life." Wang Zhicai looked at him condescendingly.
"Yes, yes, I said, I said..." Zhang Wu knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
The next day, Wang Zhicai came to the emperor with a confession, and when Gao Cheng saw the confession of the painting, he was immediately furious and said: "Bastard, Qin Decai is really bold, he actually wants to murder me!" "Qin Decai is Lin Yuan's uncle and the cousin of Mrs. Qin, he relied on his niece to be a concubine, not to mention the evil in the palace, bullying the people on the street, and robbing the people's daughters.
When Rong Guifei Lin Yuan got the news and felt the front hall, Qin Decai trembled and knelt in front of the emperor.
"Uncle, what's going on? How can you be so confused! Lin Yuan hated that iron could not be made of steel and glared at Qin Decai, she knew that his uncle was a gambler, but she didn't know that he would actually commit an act of killing the king, which was to connect the nine clans.
Qin Decai saw his granddaughter, knelt down and crawled to her side to beg for mercy: "No matter what I do, I didn't do it." ”
Lin Yuan was so impatient that she pulled the hem of her dress, and slowly knelt down: "Your Majesty, there must be something hidden in this matter, and my uncle will never dare to do such a thing." ”
"No!" Gao Cheng smiled coldly and threw an item on the ground: "Is this your jade pendant?" ”
Qin Decai saw that the jade pendant he had been carrying was actually in the emperor's hand, and he immediately kowtowed again and again: "The minister is wronged, it must be a thief who stole it." ”
"It's a coincidence." The emperor glanced at Wang Zhicai, who willingly brought Zhang Wu up, and he said to Zhang Wu: "Take a closer look, do you know this person?" ”
Zhang Wu glanced left and right at Qin Decai, who was kneeling on the ground, and rushed in front of him: "This person is the strong man who brought me into the palace, and I remember it clearly, there is a black mole on his forehead." ”
Wang Zhicai stepped forward and walked in front of Qin Decai, looked at it carefully, and sure enough, there was a black mole on his forehead.
"Now what else do you have to say!" The emperor's voice came out like a cold cellar, Concubine Rong lowered her head, biting her lip with resentment, just at the moment when the emperor was about to establish the crown prince, her uncle was actually bad, and she couldn't help but glare fiercely.
At this time, Qin Decai was already so frightened that he was sweating all over, usually he relied on his wife and brother of Lin Shangshu, he liked to gamble vainly, who knew that he was framed that day and lost all his belongings, but the other party asked him to do one thing, he never thought that such a thing would happen, he can't say if he is suffering now.
Just when the emperor was about to give an order, all of a sudden, Gao Cheng's forehead hurt, his eyes were red, and he threw everything out like crazy, seeing that the scene was about to get out of control.
Everyone was hiding for fear of being hurt, and at this moment, a blue figure rushed in, took out a pill and put it into the emperor's mouth.
When everyone saw it, it was actually the queen's mother, and after the emperor ate it, his eyes were not red, and he fell into a coma.
Inside the Ranyuan Pavilion
A pigeon flew into the window, Lin suddenly pulled out a small note from the pigeon's leg, looked at it carefully, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Lin Xiaoran asked curiously, "Sister, what makes you so happy?" ”
Lin suddenly handed the note to the first one, "It seems that the queen mother is going to make a move, and I really didn't guess the first person to go under the knife." ”
"Hey, it's the second aunt!" Lin Xiaoran looked at his sister in some surprise, not understanding what his sister had sold, Lin Xiaoran saw through his thoughts, patted his head and said with a smile: "You should know that Lin Yuan is no longer from our Lin family, she has long been driven to the Buddhist hall by her grandmother and became a nun." ”
"But, after all, she's our aunt!" Lin Xiaoran looked at her sister worriedly, Lin Xiaoran sighed softly, her first heart was still too soft, like this, he couldn't survive in the officialdom.
"Xiao Ran, have you forgotten everything I told you?" Lin Ran looked at his innocent face and asked, "Once a person has a benevolent heart, he will be taken advantage of by the enemy, have you forgotten everything your aunt did to us?" ”
Lin Xiaoran shook his head: "I haven't forgotten. He clenched his fists, his aunt was selfish and selfish, and she also had no feelings for their sister and brother, but she was now a concubine, once she offended the emperor, their Lin family might not be able to get rid of it, even if she had nothing to do with the Lin family as my sister said, but the emperor was the emperor after all, and he could say that the white was black.
Lin Ran looked at his worried little face and gently rubbed his hair: "Silly boy, don't worry, with my sister here, everything will be fine." ”
