Chapter 120: Searching for the Jade Seal
Qi Yin was silent, he didn't dare to say anything, his father was angry, no matter who tried to persuade him, he just added a handful of firewood, which increased his anger. Qi Yin was silent on the side, but his brain was thinking rapidly in his freshman year, what should he do most at this time?
"Father, it's all the son's fault, and it's all because the son's minister was confused and confused, so he made such a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? Qi Yin, you are really good, when I am a three-year-old child, it is so easy to fool. Emperor Cheng Xuan was angry, his breathing became more and more rapid, pointing at Qi Yin, his angry hands were also trembling, and it was not until he took a few breaths in succession that he eased up.
He sat down on the dragon chair and watched coldly at the second son kneeling on the ground, his flat clothes adding many wrinkles, and the original spring breeze smug appearance became embarrassed at this time. Emperor Cheng Xuan was silent, but the thoughts in his mind turned thousands of times, a pair of cloudy eyes revealed shrewdness, he stared at Qi Yin who was kneeling below, and then the corners of his mouth tightened.
Emperor Cheng Xuan couldn't help but think, "This second child is usually so filial, but he can treat the jade seal of the country as a child's play, it's really not simple, he really underestimated him before." ”
"Father, in fact, I did this just to worry that you would suspect your son, think about it, even if your son didn't do this, but everyone is making money, one person says you may not believe it, two people say it may be okay, but what about three people, what about ten people? Coupled with the physical evidence, how can you not suspect your sons. ”
Emperor Cheng Xuan was even more dissatisfied when he saw him like this, and snorted, "So you mean that my old eyes are dizzy, and I can't even tell the difference between good and bad?" ”
"The son didn't dare, but he was very worried, so he did something foolish, please ask my father to see it. You know, Erchen has always been filial, how can he do something that makes you angry. Erchen is indeed at fault, but he didn't think it through, this person was indeed sent by me, but the previous one was really not. If you don't believe me, you can have someone check if the number of guards in the Eagle King's Mansion is correct. ”
Emperor Cheng Xuan sneered, and said in his heart, I see how you will defend next, "Chao Yong, can you check this matter?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this matter has indeed been investigated, and the minister cannot prove that this person is the person of the Second Highness." Chao Yong stood straight, and said word by word very clearly.
As soon as he said this, the people around him immediately looked over, and even some ministers were a little disdainful, "Lord Chao, you dare to say such a thing, but there is no evidence after speaking, you are kidding us." ”
"Or do you not take Your Majesty in your eyes, and even the prince dares to frame him at will?" Taking advantage of the loophole in Chao Yong's speech, some ministers immediately seized it and immediately began to refute, striving to exonerate His Royal Highness as soon as possible.
Chao Yong stood more and more straight, his eyes did not squint, but he quietly looked at Emperor Cheng Xuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair.
"Chao Yong, you say." Emperor Cheng Xuan opened his mouth, "What the hell is going on?" ”
The other ministers below suddenly quieted down, and they all looked towards Chao Yong, thinking about it with some amusement, to see how he could solve it?
"Your Majesty, you said before that the minister can investigate at will, and the minister should naturally do his best, not let go of the slightest clue, and not skip the slightest possibility. When he found that the person with the jade seal had the secret guard mark of His Royal Highness the Eagle King, the minister asked him for the secret guard roster, but he refused to give it. Chao Yong's face was as usual, and his mouth seemed to be a normal thing.
Qi Yin knelt there, gritted his teeth, and clenched the corners of his clothes with his hands, eager to scratch his clothes, "Chao Yong, what do you mean by that?" It's not that he won't show it to Chao Yong, but he can't. It wasn't a piece of silver, it wasn't a piece of baked bread, it was given. The advantage of the dark guard is that it is not known, if he takes out everything, where can these people still be called dark guards.
Qi Yin shouted out with anger, Chao Yong really didn't care and plucked out his ears, "Your Majesty will judge." ”
"Second brother, you should show the list to Lord Chao, so as to prove your innocence." Emperor Cheng Xuan glanced at Qi Yin and said coldly.
Qi Yin gritted his teeth and said yes, "Erchen must be like this, father, Erchen can't bear to be deceived by his father for a while, there is another way to prove Erchen's innocence, the jade seal of the country is lost, as long as you find its whereabouts, you must know who stole it." ”
The corners of his mouth hooked, "Lord Chao, did you say yes, you must have already figured out the location of the jade seal of the country." ”
Obviously, Qi Yin was taking revenge on Chao Yong for embarrassing him just now, but Chao Yong really didn't care, "The minister only listens to His Majesty's orders." ”
Chao Yong's words really spoke to Emperor Cheng Xuan's heart, and he thought that although Chao Yong was very upright on weekdays, he still listened very well at critical times. His face softened slightly, "Chao Yong, since you are familiar with this matter, then the task of finding the heirloom jade seal is entrusted to you, you must find it, no matter where you go to find it, you will not be hindered." Now, you go to the Eagle King's Mansion and search to see if you can find other routes. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chao Yong had no choice but to come down, he clearly understood that this kind of thing should be done well, and if it was not done well, he would be punished. Besides, he clearly knew who the jade seal of the country was, but he couldn't say it clearly, but looking at the indifferent appearance of the Eagle King, could he really find it?
Chao Yong was very suspicious, no matter how he searched it, he explained to the people below to ask them to search carefully, every inch of bricks and tiles had to be searched carefully. After all, the jade seal of the country is square and square, and it is not big, so it is really difficult to find it if it is not easy to find. But why does the king seem so sure we can't find it?
He suddenly realized that unless the jade seal was not hidden in the Eagle Palace, His Royal Highness could be so fearless. Where would that be hidden? Since the jade seal is so important, the Second Highness probably wouldn't plan to use the jade seal to frame other talents. He likes to keep such important things in his sight, for fear that someone else will rob him if he doesn't pay attention.
"My lord, we've searched all over here, but there really isn't."
Chao Yong frowned lightly, if he didn't...... Where to look, "Does the Eagle King have any other mansions, such as the ones he frequents?" ”
"Yes, there is." One person replied, it's not far from here, turn Hulin Alley and then go through an alley.
"Let's go."
After searching for a long time and still not finding it, Chao Yong frowned, he looked around the house for a long time, and didn't find any problems, so he had to reorganize and continue to search. After all, with the character of the Eagle King, it is necessary to watch it every day, where will it be? Chao Yong scanned every corner around him.
"Great, my lord, I found it." The man was surprised.
