Chu Yu knew what he said, and the prince would not listen, so he nodded and left the room. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the upper study, the emperor looked at the three people sitting below, frowned and asked, "What about King Rui?" ”

"It seems that Princess Rui is sick, so... So..."Zhang Wuyan looked at the emperor's increasingly gloomy face, and didn't dare to speak.

"Since he didn't come, there was no need for him to come again." The emperor snorted coldly and said.

Chu Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the fifth brother is also worried about the princess, you don't need to be angry. ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "That's it, I called you here today to ask Murong Duan about this matter, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter seems to be a little strange, General Murong has always been loyal to Chen Guo, if he really has different intentions, he will not wait until now." Shen Tao said.

Zhang Wuyan looked at Shen Tao and shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with Lord Shen's opinion, the minister thinks that people's hearts are unpredictable, and those weapons and dragon robes that have been searched are enough to show that Murong Duan has long had the intention of rebellion, and it will never be forgiven." ”

"Seventh brother, what do you think?" The emperor looked at Chu Li, who had not spoken, and asked.

"Back to the emperor, the courtiers thought that this matter still needs to be carefully examined, after all, the Murong family has been loyal and meritorious for generations, and they must not be wronged." Chu Li raised his head and spoke in a steady tone.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter needs to be cautious, Murong Duan has ill intentions and wants to rebel, Your Majesty?" Zhang Wuyan said anxiously.

The emperor looked at Zhang Wuyan deeply, and then said: "Okay, this matter will be done according to the will of King Xian, tomorrow Shen Qing will be the main judge, and cooperate with Zhang Qing to find out this matter, and you must not be wronged, understand?" ”

"Obey."

"You all go down, seventh brother, you stay, I have something to tell you." The emperor took a sip of tea and said.

Chu Li had already stood up, and when he heard the emperor's words, he nodded and lifted his robe and sat down again, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

"Call me Brother Huang, you have suffered in Chu all these years." The emperor said, sighed and said.

"Brother Huang, isn't my brother coming back, thanks to Brother Huang, you have been dealing with you many times." Chu Li said with a grateful smile.

The emperor's gaze softened slightly, he looked at Chu Li and said, "I have been alone all these years, and when you come back, I am much more relieved after all." ”

Chu Li listened to the emperor quietly, silent, but kept smiling on his face.

"You also know my situation, the Queen Mother and King Rui have been eyeing each other, I have more than enough heart but not enough strength, and I only trust you." The emperor sighed and continued.

"What does the imperial brother want his brother to do?" Chu Li asked.

The emperor glanced at him and said, "Today's incident, all the evidence points to the General's Mansion, so I want to send you to secretly Charui Palace..."

"What does the imperial brother mean....King Rui is the person behind the scenes?" Chu Li raised his head and asked.

"I'm not sure, that's why I asked you to go and check secretly, seventh brother, can you do it?" The emperor's expression was full of inquiry.

Chu Li got up and knelt on the ground and said, "The younger brother will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." ”

"Okay, okay, get up." The emperor nodded with a smile and said.

After Chu Li left, the emperor looked into the distance and said loudly: "Ying Wei, how is the matter investigated?" ”

"Emperor Qiqi, his subordinates found a secret passage in Lin Yunshan, ten miles away from the capital, and the Queen Mother's people often come and go, as well as King Rui's personal guard Chu Yu." The man in black who was kneeling on the ground spoke.

"Okay, you keep an eye on it, and if there is any movement, you will be killed." The emperor nodded and said.

"Yes." Shadow Guard nodded.

The emperor spoke again and said, "Send someone to follow King Xian, and report anything unusual to me immediately." ”

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, the queen sent someone to invite the emperor over for dinner." Mulder said aloud in the doorway.

"Tell the queen that I'll be over in a moment." The emperor rubbed his aching forehead and said.

In the early morning of the second day, before Murong Yue woke up, she was called up by the jailer, taken to the court of the criminal department, and knelt on the ground, and it was Lu's mother who was kneeling next to her.

"My lord, what the slave said is true, it is indeed the second lady who sent someone to kill her concubine and maidservant, and the slave and maid happened to see this scene, so they were also tied up, fortunately, the adult came in time." Lu's mother knelt on the ground and cried.

"You talk nonsense, it's you, it's you who killed the two of them, why are you, why are you doing this." When Murong Yue heard Mother Lu's words, her eyes turned red with anger, and she rushed over and grabbed Mother Lu's clothes and shouted.

"Second Miss, this matter was seen by the slave maid with his own eyes, and it was also seen by several adults that you were going to kill the slave and maid." Lu's mother shook her head and said.

"Lie, I didn't want to kill you at all, I just wanted to ask you where is Kiyu?" Murong Yue shook Mother Lu's body and said angrily.

"Slave maid...."Before Mother Lu finished speaking, she suddenly rolled her eyes and fell down.

"What's going on? Murong Yue, you dare to kill someone in court. Zhang Wuyan stood up and pointed at Murong Yue, trembling with anger and said.

Shen Tao stood up and walked down with a serious expression, and sure enough, seeing that half of the silver needle in Lu's mother's chest had been submerged, he sighed and said, "Murong Yue, what do you explain?" ”

"It's not me, I didn't kill her, I really didn't..." Murong Yue was also stunned, she really didn't know what was going on, how did someone suddenly die...

"Lord Shen, this official has long said that this Murong Duan is going to rebel, and now he is still killing people and destroying people." Zhang Wuyan stood up and said.

Shen Tao looked at Zhang Wuyan and said: "Even so, but before there is full evidence, this official will not make a conclusion, and the emperor also said that he must be clear." ”

"Hmph~, since ancient times, how can there be a prisoner who confesses without punishment, come, go to the torture instrument." After Zhang Wuyan finished speaking, he looked at Murong Yue for a long time.

Not long after, the jailer took a plate of silver needles, and the torture instrument with fingers was brought up, which was wearing five wooden sticks with a few ropes, the same as the torture instrument used to clamp hands in the TV series, Murong Yue glanced at it, and then at Zhang Wuyan's smile, and suddenly felt bad, could it be that he really wanted to pinch his fingers...

"Lord Zhang, this official thinks this matter is inappropriate, since ancient times, how many unjust, false and wrongful cases have been made out of torture to extract confessions, and Murong Yue is a woman, it is really..."

Zhang Wuyan shook his head and said: "How can you know if you don't try, not to mention that if she doesn't say it, how can she know if it's true or not, and she will be punished." ”

Murong Yue watched her ten fingers being put on the torture instrument, raised her head to look at Zhang Wuyan and the two, shook her head frantically and said, "I really didn't kill it, it's not me." ”

"Murong Yue, this official gave you one last chance, did you kill Lu's mother, did your father have long thought about plotting to rebel?" Zhang Wuyan asked.

"No, I didn't kill people, and my father didn't intend to rebel." Murong Yue looked at Zhang Wuyan and said in a firm tone.

Zhang Wuyan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and said impatiently: "Since this is the case, don't blame the official for being ruthless." ”

"Ah~" Murong Yue suddenly felt that her ten fingers were being pulled by an external force, getting tighter and tighter, and it hurt more and more, while the execution officer was still exerting force.
