104: Confrontation
Zong Wenjing did not lie. What he said was almost always true. It's just that it's not "the whole story".
At this moment, in the Heart Cultivation Palace, in addition to the Son of Heaven standing on the dragon chair, there are two people sitting on the left and right sides. On the left is Yan Chongyan, the old minister, and Zeng Guogong. On the right side are Zhuge Taifu and Song Guogong.
In addition, behind the dragon chair, a beaded curtain was lowered. There are two shadows sitting in the beaded curtain. Although through the beaded curtain, it is not very clear to see dimly. But even if you just look at the outline, you can guess that most of the two people are the queen mother and Princess Yongjia.
It is not surprising that the queen mother would sit with Princess Yongjia. After all, the beginning of this matter was because Princess Yongjia entered the palace to meet the Son of Heaven. As for Song Guogong and Zeng Guogong, one is Xiao Jianshi's father, and the other is Lianchenghuo's father, if something happens to their son, of course they have to enter the palace to ask the Son of Heaven to administer justice. But the two of them, Zhuge Taifu and Yan Lao Xiangye, actually appeared here, which is a little intriguing......
Cheng Li's thoughts turned in his heart, and the corners of his mouth unexpectedly hung up a sneer. He calmly stepped forward and saluted the Son of Heaven on the dragon throne. Although Lianchenghuo held back his anger, he naturally would not be rude at this time, and he also stepped forward to salute at the moment. Then, Yulin Ling and Water Dragon Yin also saluted separately.
The Son of Heaven had already waited a little impatiently. Seeing that everyone has finished saluting, it is finally time to get to the point. He immediately asked, "Lian Qing's family, what is going on? Why is the Xiao family's Xiaoqi injured, and the death of the maidservant next to Aunt Yongjia, have something to do with you?"
Lianchenghuo said in a condensed voice: "Return to the saint." What Xiao family Xiaoqi, what the maid next to Princess Yongjia, Weichen doesn't know. But Weichen also wanted to accuse Long Chengbo, and killed Weichen's two masters and two uncles for no reason, and then did it to Weichen in broad daylight, trying to kill people. Please ask the Holy Lord to make decisions for Wechen. ”
The Son of Heaven frowned and comforted: "Lian Qing's family, you don't have to worry. All in all, I will never wrong a good person, nor will I spare a bad person. So Cheng Qingjia, what do you say?"
Cheng Li arched his hand and said, "Return to the Holy Lord." Xiao Jianshi is my apprentice. I had examined his wounds in detail. It was discovered that he had been attacked from behind.
Ge is a weapon that has long been eliminated by the army, so even if there is Ge in the army, it is only kept as decoration and cannot be used in actual combat. On the rivers and lakes, there are also very few people who will use Ge as a weapon. The only exception is the Emei faction, one of the seven great sword sects.
In addition, the maid Wan'er next to Princess Yongjia. Just looking at the appearance, it seems to have been killed by a thief. But in fact, I examined it again and found that her heart had been shattered by some special dark energy. This is the unique performance of the heart-destroying palm in the three uniques of Kongtong. ”
The Son of Heaven listened with great interest and asked, "What are the three unique Kongtongs? ”
Cheng Li turned his head and glanced at Lianchenghuo. Said: "Kongtong Three Uniques, it is said that they are the most powerful three sets of Kongtong Sect. They are Heart-Destroying Palm, Seven Wounds Fist, and Heavenly Legs. The heart-destroying palm hits the human body, and there is nothing abnormal on the surface, but the heart will be shattered. The Seven Wounds Fist goes one step further and also specializes in mutilating the enemy's internal organs. As for the crippled leg, I heard that it has been lost for a long time, and no one has been able to practice it hundreds of years ago. Therefore, the details are only clear to the people of the Kongtong faction. ”
Lian Chenghuo couldn't hold back any longer, and sneered: "Cheng Li, you really know a lot about the Kongtong faction. ”
Cheng Li snorted softly and didn't answer at all. Continue to say to the Son of Heaven: "Xiao Jianshi and Wan'er, these two people have nothing to do with each other, and they haven't even met at all. Their only connection is with me. Similarly, although the Kongtong faction and the Emei faction are both one of the seven great sword factions, their relationship is not very close, and the only connection is Shen Yongbo. ”
The Son of Heaven sighed, looked back and asked Zhuge Taifu, "Taifu, what Cheng Qingjia said about the Kongtong faction, are they all true?"
Zhuge Taifu bent down slightly: "Back to the saint, about the three unique things of Kongtong, Long Chengbo really didn't say half a lie. The body of the Wan'er girl has also been carefully examined by the old minister and the old servant of the Criminal Department. The condition of the heart is exactly the same as what Long Chengbo said. The fatal injuries are caused by the heart-shattering palm, more than eighty percent. ”
"It's only 80 percent, that's not 100 percent. In other words, it is still possible that someone else used other methods to harm this Wan'er girl, so as to frame the nephew who falsely accused Lian Shi. ”
Before the Son of Heaven could speak, Old Master Yan had already spoken first to refute. He paused, and then bowed his hand to the Son of Heaven and said, "Holy Mingjian." The hearts of the people on the rivers and lakes are unpredictable, and there are all kinds of ghost domain methods. Falsely impersonating other people's identities and falsely accusing and framing them is commonplace, and it is not uncommon at all. In addition......"
Old Master Yan's face sank, his eyes were like electricity, and he threw himself on Cheng Li. He said in a deep voice: "The old minister wants to know more, how did Miss Wan'er, as the maidservant next to Her Royal Highness Princess Yongjia, get involved with Uncle Long Cheng?"
This is a good question, and it is indeed a tricky question. Because after careful investigation, it is not Wan'er who really has anything to do with Cheng Li, but Princess Yongjia herself. However, Princess Yongjia, as the head of the Yue Guo Gong Chai family, once it is revealed that she has a personal affair with Cheng Li, it is obvious that it must be a big scandal. After this scandal was exposed, although the royal family was disgraced, Cheng Li's hope of taking charge of the Yulin Army must have been blown up.
If it was still in the past, this kind of speech that would offend the Son of Heaven and the royal family, Old Master Yan would never say it. But now, his most hopeful son Yan Donglou has died. So Old Xiangye Yan simply hated Cheng Li to the bone - although he also knew that it was not Cheng Li who really killed his son, but Old Xiangye Yan still didn't care about it, just one mind, and wanted to take revenge on Cheng Li.
So what's the point of offending the royal family? As long as he can take revenge on Cheng Li, even if it is just to obstruct him from taking charge of the Yulin Army, it will not cause him any substantial damage, and Old Prime Minister Yan will do whatever it takes.
Song Guogong snorted hard and shouted, "Don't say anything about Miss Wan'er first." Now I want to know, whether Guan Yu and my Xiaoqi were injured in a sneak attack are related to Uncle Shen Yong? If it is really related, then I will ask Zeng Guogong. What did my little seven do wrong to let Uncle Shen Yong do such a poisonous act?"
