In the main hall, Emperor Hua Xiang looked at Gonggong Zhao and Chu Yuzhen, who were kneeling down, and said, "Flat." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" After saying that, he looked at Chu Yurui again: "You can start."

Chu Yurui ordered someone to bring a basin of water, ignoring everyone's puzzled eyes, and saluted Emperor Huaxiang: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hua Hesu on the seat smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the show began.

After Chu Yurui saluted, he straightened up, walked around the hall as if he was leisurely, put his hands behind him, and said slowly: "At the beginning of August, according to the holy order of Your Majesty, Bai Qishu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, was fully responsible for the construction of the palace. In addition, Gonggong Zhao, whom His Majesty deeply trusts, also supervised the work. Chu Yurui's eyes looked at Zhao Gonggong, but he twisted his head to the side, as if he wanted to avoid something.

Chu Yurui turned around and continued: "Soon after the start of construction, Bai Qishu asked Zhao Gonggong when the timber would arrive, but Zhao Gonggong repeatedly shirked the confusion and taught Bai Qishu to wait a little longer, Zhao Gonggong, but so?"

When Gonggong Zhao heard Chu Yurui ask him, he took a breath and said, "That's true." But because the weather was too hot at the time, the trip was delayed, so it's not surprising that it was late, right? The old slave also advised Bai Shilang that there is no need to be in a hurry in this matter, His Majesty loves the people like a son, even if Bai Shilang delays the construction period, as long as he explains the reasons to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely not blame him. ”

Chu Yurui secretly scolded Zhao Gonggong in her heart, patting Emperor Huaxiang's ass on the one hand, and belittling Bai Qishu on the other, worthy of being an old fritter who has lived in the palace for many years.

"Good!" Chu Yurui listened to Zhao Gonggong's answer, and said unhurriedly: "Then put this matter aside for the time being, let's talk about the dragon pattern on the wood."

At the mention of the dragon pattern, Zhao Gonggong was shocked, and his hand shrunk in his sleeve couldn't help but tremble.

As Zhao Gonggong said, the weather was very hot, and the worker who was carrying the wood accidentally fell that day, which led Bai Qishu to come forward to check whether the wood was damaged. Unexpectedly, although the wood was not damaged, Bai Qishu found that the dragon pattern carved on the wood only had four claws. ”

When Emperor Huaxiang heard this, his brows tightened, this was a blatant challenge to the emperor's authority, and he said in a deep voice: "Is there really such a thing?"

Chu Yurui comforted: "Your Majesty is a little calm, don't be impatient, and listen to Yurui carefully." If Your Majesty moves to the new hall now, he will definitely not find the four-clawed dragon that Yu Rui said. As His Majesty thought, Bai Qishu also knew the seriousness of the dragon pattern with only four claws, and decided to ask Zhao Gonggong what was going on on the spot, but he was stopped by Su Shilang, who came to visit, and the two only went to find the carver in private, added a claw to the dragon pattern, and did not publicize the matter. ”

The more Chu Yurui said, the more Zhao Gonggong felt bad in his heart, and he looked at King Ping and Chu Yuzhen with his spare eyes, and the two of them still looked like they had nothing to do with themselves.

"It is precisely this obstruction that brings out the mastermind behind the scenes, so as to avoid the reckless death of another witness." Chu Yurui looked at Zhao Gonggong, remembered the witness who was poisoned in the food restaurant, and reprimanded: "It's you!" deliberately delayed the delivery of timber, but in fact, the carver's family coerced and lured him to carve a four-clawed dragon on the pillar to frame Bai Qishu. ”

Gonggong Zhao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The third lady sings this play really wonderfully!" It's a pity that the old slave doesn't understand, the three ladies have no evidence, why do you say that these are made by the old slave? Besides, the old slave has no grievances with Bai Shilang on weekdays, so why did he frame her? Also, even if these things were done by the old slave, what does this have to do with the case of the white waiter who was handed over by His Majesty to the third lady to check the inferior calligraphy and paintings? ”

Chu Yurui saw that he was still smiling at this time, and nodded, "Okay, Gonggong Zhao wants evidence, and Yurui will give you evidence!" The provincial Zhao Gonggong complained in his heart, the little girl would only sing and talk to herself, and make up a drama of wronging good people! ”

Chu Yurui ruthlessly said what Zhao Gonggong thought in his heart, and said to the outside of the hall: "Come on, bring the carver's family!"

Behind the gate of the palace, there came out a few people dressed in burlap clothes, with a big age difference, including a strong middle-aged man, an old woman in her twilight years, a woman in a cloth cloth, and a timid yellow-mouthed child. The moment a few people appeared, Zhao Gonggong's heart rose to his throat, he thought that this matter could be confused unconsciously, but he didn't want these witnesses to be found by Chu Yurui.

After a few people knelt down to worship Emperor Huaxiang, a red figure flashed outside the hall door, Su Huai looked a little haggard, but after entering the hall, his eyes burned, "Minister Su Huai knocked to see Your Majesty." ”

"Su Qing?" Emperor Huaxiang knew that Su Huai and Bai Qishu had a close relationship, but for some reason he hadn't seen Su Huai for a few days, looking at his hair crown tilted and his face haggard, he couldn't help asking: "Get up, how did you get like this?"

Su Huai got up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister rushed to the village overnight yesterday to rescue the carver's family from the thief's knife, and the murderer has been arrested by the minister, and after overnight interrogation, they have admitted that this matter was instructed by Zhao Gonggong."

The child behind the carver cautiously poked out his head and pointed at Zhao Gonggong: "It's him!" Kill us all, and you want Bao'er to die! Boa doesn't want to die...... Woo woo woo ...... "Then he hid behind the carver and kept sobbing.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Gonggong's heart sank, and he continued to quibble, "The old slave has served Your Majesty for many years, Your Majesty knows very well what kind of character the old slave is, that child is still young, and it is inevitable that he will be instructed by others, talking nonsense, not credible, not credible!" ”

"Doesn't Gonggong Zhao know that there is an idiom called Tong Yan Wuji?" Chu Yurui continued to ask.

Zhao Gonggong turned around and said indignantly: "You don't want to spew blood!" Who knows if you deliberately found someone to be a carver, pretending to be such a family, and playing some murderous trick to frame me? ”

Chu Yurui returned to him what Gonggong Zhao had said: "Gonggong Zhao said that I framed you?" I have no grudge against you, so why should I harm you? ”

"You are in a hurry to transfer the charges that Bai Qishu bears, so naturally you want to frame me!"

"Good! Good! Chu Yurui looked at Gonggong Zhao arguing in every possible way, not angry but laughing, "Gonggong Zhao wants evidence so much, I will simply lay out these evidences one by one to see what else you have to say!" ”

Chu Yurui shook his sleeves and walked to Emperor Huaxiang to salute, "The craftsmen used in the palace are all recorded in the book, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, but you can check it, the recorded booklet can't be faked by Yurui, right?" Chu Yurui looked at Zhao Gonggong and continued: "In addition, craftsmen have been craftsmen for generations, and their household registration is also different from ordinary people.

"This matter can be proved by the minister." Hua Hesu, who had never spoken from beginning to end, suddenly spoke, "This person and his family are indeed good carvers, and yesterday Su Shilang asked his younger brother to check the identity of this person in the household department. ”

King Ping's hand on the handle of the chair slowly clenched into a fist, as if he was a little absent-minded. (To be continued.) )
