On the morning of the second day, Li Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, presented an excerpt and took advantage of the opportunity of the county lord to enter Beijing to secretly poison Cui Pu and Meng Kui, the secretary of the Yingtianfu Rite Department.

The courtiers were naturally stunned.

Most people still know the relationship between this Qinghe county lord and the Cui family.

What they were surprised was that this county lord was originally the cousin of the Cui family's room, although Cui Pu and her were separated from each other, but they also responded to her uncle, how could they be so vicious?

Second, this county lord is the widow of Duke Xue, not to mention that her maternal grandfather is still Gao Xiuyan.

What is the reason for Cui Pu to do this?

And how did Cui Pu collude with Meng Kui?

The ministers looked at each other for a while, and no one dared to respond to this.

The emperor saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, knocked lightly on the armrest, and coughed: "This matter, it was Cui Qing who presented the excerpt early in the morning, and Meng Kui who participated in it." After I found out, I didn't want to publicize it, so I only ordered Liu Neichen and the Criminal Department to investigate, and now that there is evidence, Li Qing is the one in the palace. ”

At this point, all the ministers looked suddenly enlightened.

Wan Yunyang's rank was second on the left, and it wasn't until the emperor's voice fell that he stood up and saluted His Royal Highness.

The emperor on the throne raised his eyebrows slightly, signaling him to reply if he had something to say.

The jade plate in Wan Yunyang's hand was raised: "The minister thinks that the nature of this matter is really bad, if Your Majesty does not severely punish these two people, I am afraid that everyone will ignore the law in the future." The county lord was personally sealed by His Majesty, and Cui Pu himself was in-law with the county lord's family, but he was able to do such a thing, which shows that this person is ruthless and is by no means a forgivable person. And Meng Kui, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of Yingtianfu, has an official position that is not high, but he took advantage of his position to do such a hurtful thing, which shows how his character is. ”

The emperor didn't say anything, just a deep voice and a snort.

Li Yi was still standing under His Royal Highness, and when he saw this, he echoed a few words.

The emperor didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Just when the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, the emperor opened the golden mouth: "Gao Qing—"

He shouted in a shuffled pitch.

Gao Xiaoli frowned slightly, hung his head and stood out: "The minister is here." ”

The emperor touched the tip of his nose: "Qinghe is your niece, and Cui Pu is your brother-in-law's younger brother, what do you think about this?" ”

Gao Xiaoli's hand hanging beside him clenched into a fist.

Even if he had known about this for a long time, but now that the Taiji Hall asked the dynasty and put this matter on the surface again, he could hardly suppress the anger in his heart.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and bowed to his hand: "The so-called state has national laws, and families have family rules, and the minister thinks what Lord Wan said is very reasonable." Even if the county lord is not the niece of the minister, hearing such a thing, the minister also feels cold and angry. The county lord is still young now, what is it that can make an elder do such a poisonous thing to her? ”

Gao Xiaoli knew the emperor's intentions.

What happened in Ying Tianfu, or what Cui Pu and even the fourth room of the Cui family had done to Xue Chengjiao, only he seemed to have a mirror in his heart.

So he paused slightly, and then continued: "When the county lord was still living in Cui's Mansion in the past, he was drugged once, and it was also verified afterwards that it was indeed done by Sifang. Later, in order not to hurt the harmony and save face, it was only said that the county lord had eaten quinoa by mistake. In fact, since that time, Cui Pu has already had such a thought. ”

The Emperor heard a lot of gasps in the hall.

Sure enough, His Royal Highness's left attendant stepped forward: "Your Majesty, this matter is simply appalling. After the county lord of Qinghe was Xue Gong, he was raised in the Cui family, the Cui family should have looked at her as high as tens of millions, and even more so as to give her preferential treatment, how could she have such a dirty mind and actually want to kill the county lord, this is simply hateful and hateful! ”

A civil official in his forties also stood up: "Your Majesty, Cui Pu has a vicious mind, how can such a person be an official in the court?" And how do you deserve to live in the world? The minister heard that the county lord of Qinghe was only a teenager, and he was still a child. The county lord's parents died, and Xue Gong sacrificed his life for the country in righteousness, such a child, raised at home, he did not have the love and pity that an elder should have in his heart, but repeatedly poisoned the county lord's life! ”

The emperor listened, still without saying a word, just nodding vigorously.

At the end, he glanced at Wan Yunyang.

Wan Yunyang immediately understood, and called out to His Majesty before he said again: "The minister has a doubt in his heart. ”

The emperor snorted: "You say." ”

"The county lord is raised in the deep boudoir every day and tied to the high pavilion, and logically speaking, there is no hatred and contradiction between Cui Pu and the county lord, so why not secretly poison the hand again and again?"

As soon as Wan Yunyang's words came out, all the ministers fell silent.

yes, what is Cui Pu trying to do?

Isn't he afraid that things will be exposed, and Gao Xiuyan will not give up with him?

What's more, Gao Xiaoli was still in Yingtianfu at that time.

Why is Cui Pu so bold and has attacked the county lord of Qinghe several times?

What threat can a little girl, a lonely girl, pose to him?

In other words, what good did the death of the county lord do to him?

The Emperor's fingers tapped on the armrest, making a "click-click-" sound.

The sound started five times, then stopped abruptly.

Li Yi took a step forward and bowed: "I think that this fashion is not the time to investigate the reason. Now that the evidence is ironclad, the minister also asked His Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible, how will Cui Pu and Meng Kui be convicted? How to deal with it? After that, someone will be sent to investigate and interrogate, why they colluded to poison the county lord, and sooner or later it will be revealed. ”

The emperor's fingers didn't move again, and he muttered in a deep voice: "Wan Qing, you are planning an order-" The voice dragged on, as if he was thinking about how to convict these two people, and after a while, he opened his mouth again to pick up the previous words, "Meng Kui was dismissed on the spot and escorted back to Beijing, all the rewards and positions on Cui Pu's body will not be moved for the time being, and the family members are confined in the mansion, and they are not allowed to leave Ying Tianfu for half a step, and bring him back with Meng Kui, this matter, I will personally interrogate him!" ”

The emperor's words were loud and clear.

Gao Xiaoli listened, but he actually knew it in his heart.

said that he was going to interrogate in person, but in fact, he was paving the way for finding out the Zhen family later, and in the eyes of everyone, this is how important His Majesty values this matter.

And why does Your Majesty value this matter? It's nothing more than thinking of the old love and kindness, and just looking up at his brother-in-law a few times.

Gao Xiaoli pursed his lips and was silent, just took a few deep breaths.

I don't know who it is, so I took two steps: "Your Majesty, Cui Pu is a person from the fourth room of the Cui family, could it be said that if he moves like this at home, the rest of the Cui family doesn't know anything?" Besides, Master Gao just said that Cui Pu drugged the county lord for the first time, and he was found out, but the Cui family didn't mention it because of their face. Now that the incident has happened, shouldn't the Cui family ask for guilt together? ”
