Zou Ba Tian scolded: "You madman, the surname Gong is on your right, what are you pointing at me?" ”

Zhu Hua still pointed at him and muttered: "It's you, it's you, I remember your appearance, you said that your surname is Gong, although I have never been to Beijing, but I still know that the only adult surnamed Gong in the court is called Gong Chengyan." ”

Zou Batian stared at Gong Chengyan with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "It's you, it's you who instructed them to slander me, you want me to be a scapegoat, and there is no door." ”

He turned his head to Emperor Qinglong and said: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister admits that I know about the affairs of Wu County, and I deserve it if I don't report it, but the guilty minister has not participated in this matter, everything is done by Gong Chengyan."

A few months ago, Ning Guo found the source of the mine in Wu County, and wanted to mine and smuggle it back to Ningguo, but the checkpoint out of the customs must have people from Northern Qin, and they couldn't transport the ore out, so they were forced to find Gong Chengyan in desperation, and the two parties negotiated five or five points, and the Gong family was responsible for helping to transport the mine out of the customs and transport it to Ningguo.

Later, the mine collapsed and there were countless casualties, and Na Luo took his son and fellow villagers to Beijing, and he Gong Chengyan sent people to chase and kill them along the way.

It's just that the three people died big, and they didn't die after all, after the emperor knew about it, Gong Chengyan knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he wanted to kill people, he brought a group of people, united with the twenty masters of Princess Haining, killed all the thousands of people in Wu County, and found people from elsewhere to act, creating the illusion of peace in Wu County.

Your Majesty, the criminal knows about it, but there is no report, and the criminal has nothing to say, but it is up to the emperor to dispose of it.

But Gong Chengyan and Princess Haining are the masterminds of this matter, and Zhu Hua still has this fake Tsuji Niang. are also Gong Chengyan's people.

They are now united, and they insist that the convicted minister is the mastermind of this matter, the emperor. The criminal knows that it is not a pity to die of guilt, but the real mastermind behind the scenes is still at large, and the criminal minister is unwilling to bear the black pot for him, so he asks the emperor to see what is going on and immediately punish the palace and bear the flames. ”

Gong Chengyan sneered: "Zou Batian, I didn't expect you to have today, you know that your crimes have been exposed." I boldly admitted it, but you kept saying that it was me who was the mastermind.

But all these people in the hall have their confessions directed at you. You still want me to scapegoat you? Wishful thinking, what I haven't done in Gong Chengyan is death, and I will never admit it. ”

Princess Haining also shouted injustice: "You spew blood." Ningguo reconciled with Northern Qin. You have repeatedly tried to sow discord between the two countries, what are your intentions? Do you want the two countries to go to war and you enjoy the benefits of the fisherman? ”

Zou Ba was about to vomit blood, and the hat of opening a mine without permission had just been taken off, and now he even wanted to deduct him for another treason.

"Princess Haining can't talk nonsense, my Zou family is loyal to the Northern Qin and the emperor, I hope that the two countries will never be at war, but what the princess does. But in order to destroy the relationship between the two countries, you have hidden countless masters of yourself in the dilapidated post house on the border. When I don't know? ——

Your Majesty, the criminal minister implored the emperor to immediately send someone to the post house to seal it up, which was no longer a post house for receiving envoys from other countries, but a den of thieves in Ningguo. ”

Princess Haining secretly rejoiced in her heart, fortunately, after the innkeeper was killed, she sent someone to destroy all the evidence there, and now, it is just a desolate and uninhabited post house.

"I'm not afraid of shadows, I haven't done it, so I'm naturally not afraid of you." Princess Haining snorted coldly.

Zou Batian's mouthful of blood felt like it was going to squirt out at any time, and he swallowed it hard, "Okay, I know, you guys have already colluded, do you think you can kill me like this?" No way—"

He looked at Ling Shandao again with a pleading look, and choked up: "Uncle Zhong, I know that you have the kindest heart, I am your father-in-law, you have to speak for me, Uncle Zhong." ”

Ling Shandao's face was angry, and he said questioningly: "Do you really let this woman hide the mine in my Bayin Country?" You're trying to kill my family, aren't you? ”

Zou Batian hurriedly explained: "Uncle Zhong, I swear, I have never done such a thing, if the Ling Mansion is in trouble, my Zou family will be the first to stand up and speak for you, how can I frame you."

It's him Gong Chengyan, he has always regarded you as a thorn in the flesh, and secretly doesn't know how many stumbling blocks you have made to Ling Fu, but you are auspicious, and you have never been in the way.

Now he wants me to confess the crime, think about it, if the Zou family commits something, the Ling Mansion and the Zou family are in-laws, and the first one can't escape.

This is his purpose, he wants to wipe us out, Uncle Zhong, you have to speak for me, this matter of Wu County is really not me. ”

At this time, he actually forgot that the attempt to frame Ling Mansion was conspired with him and Gong Chengyan, but now that his deeds have been exposed, he still comes to intercede with family affection, which is really ridiculous.

"Yude and I have been friends for more than 20 years, and you still say such things, so how can I believe you." Ling Shandao lamented.

If he didn't know, he was afraid that he would be confused by Zou Batian, but from Ling Yi, he knew that whether it was Zou Batian or Gong Chengyan, these two families were wearing a pair of pants, and no one was a good thing.

Why should my father care about them, just put aside the relationship, stand by and watch the two dogs bite each other, wouldn't it be quicker?

Ling Yi's words echoed in his mind again, Ling Shandao sighed, and really stood aside and stopped talking.

Zou Batian saw that he was silent, and knew that it was impossible to let Ling Shandao say good things for him, but he looked around, and couldn't find anyone to help him speak, and now everyone said that he was the mastermind, and he really couldn't tell with hundreds of mouths.

"Your Majesty, the criminal minister is really wronged, Your Majesty-" He could only make the appearance of being greatly wronged, trying to make Emperor Qinglong suspicious and be able to listen to his words.

There was silence in the main hall, and Emperor Qinglong looked at the dog-eat-dog appearance of the group of people below with an expressionless face, and his heart was extremely angry.

The little eunuch didn't dare to come forward loudly to report, but just shouted "Fu Gonggong" in a low voice on the right side.

Fuquan glanced at Emperor Qinglong, quietly walked down the high platform to the little eunuch, and scolded: "Why do you have to come at this time? Didn't you see that the emperor was angry, and he dared to disturb him at this time? Don't want to live anymore? ”

The little eunuch was extremely aggrieved, "The slave doesn't want to." It's just that the whole adult is outside, saying that he has something important to report, and the slave also tells him that the emperor is busy. But he said that if the hour was delayed, the case would not be closed. ”

Fuquan pondered, Quanzhi was in charge of Wu County's affairs, and he dared to come over at this time, could it be that there was any evidence or discovery?

"Okay, okay, you step back first." Fuquan waved his hand and asked the little eunuch to leave first. He walked back to the high platform.

"Your Majesty, the military department Shangshu Quanzhi asked to see him outside, saying that he had found clues related to this case."

Emperor Qinglong looked at him sideways: "There are still clues?" Heh - that's interesting, I haven't figured it out for a month. Now that I have been arraigned in person, all the evidence has come out.

Let him in, and let me hear what important clues he has found. ”

Fuquan hurriedly sent an order to let Quanzhi enter the temple.

Quan Zhigang walked into the temple. I was stunned by the situation in the temple. These people are all related to Wu County, could it be that the emperor is already interrogating them personally?

Thinking about it, he still stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Weichen knocks on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

Emperor Qinglong said slowly: "Aiqing is flat, come here at this time, what is the matter?" ”

Quan Zhi saw that Emperor Qinglong's mood was unhappy, and he was faintly nervous in his heart, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty." After a thorough investigation in the past few days, the minister finally found the mastermind of the private mining cave in Wu County. Please allow the emperor to submit evidence. ”

"Okay, good, evidence, present it." Emperor Qinglong's face was cold, and he said word by word.

Quan Zhi became more and more worried in his heart, but he was not stupid, seeing a few people in the hall, he could guess a few points, seeing that Zou Batian's eyes were red, he could also guess the latter's current situation, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but snort coldly, and ordered someone to carry a few large wooden boxes.

Opening the wooden box, Quan Zhi took out the contents and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is full of tin ore, Weichen only brought these boxes, and there are at least twenty boxes of such boxes." ”

Emperor Qinglong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where did these come from?" ”

Quanzhi glanced at Zou Batian, and said clearly and loudly: "It was searched from the Zou family's secret room." ”

Zou Batian's pupils shrank suddenly, his face turned pale, and he looked at Quan Zhi in disbelief and said, "Where did you say you found it from?" Don't spew blood. There has never been anything like this in my house. ”

Quan Zhi said coldly: "Facts speak louder than words, no matter how you don't admit it, this thing was found in your house, and it's useless for you to quibble." ”

Zou Batian opened his mouth wide in shock, knelt on the ground and looked sluggish, and after a long time, he remembered to shout grievances, and stood up in panic and ran to the high platform.

"Your Majesty, I didn't, this matter was masterminded by Gong Chengyan and Princess Haining, the minister really didn't know, the emperor, the minister was wronged, the emperor, you have to believe me, I didn't-"

Seeing that Zou Batian was about to rush in front of Emperor Qinglong, Fuquan said loudly: "What are the Praetorian Guards still doing in a daze, this person wants to murder the emperor, why don't you take it down quickly." ”

The guards around the hall had already made preparations, and they immediately rushed up to surround Zou Batian when they gave an order.

Zou Batian was already red-eyed at this time, and his mind was completely empty, so he was in a hurry to shout in front of Emperor Qinglong, and he didn't care whether there were swords and guns in front of him, so he rushed forward vigorously.

"Poof-" The thick voice remembered in the hall, Zou Batian screamed in pain, spitting blood in his mouth but still stretched out his hand to take half a step forward.

"Your Majesty—the minister is not blind to death—he is not blind to death—" A long cry of grievances sounded in the hall, and after a long time, the voice gradually became quieter, and finally disappeared into the main hall.

Fuquan patted his chest with palpitations, anxious to check whether Emperor Qinglong was in good condition, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, are you okay, are you hurt?" ”

Emperor Qinglong still had no time to regain his senses, stiffened for a moment before sitting back on the dragon chair.

The people of His Royal Highness also looked at Zou Batian who fell in a pool of blood in amazement.

Princess Haining was the closest, and Zou Batian looked at her with a pair of bloody eyes, as if he was going to see through her.

There was warm liquid flowing from her face, and she touched it, but it was blood from one hand.

"Ahh

Emperor Qinglong was so frightened by that scream that his heart trembled again, and he said angrily: "Drag this woman down." ”

The guards looked at each other, the other party was a princess, a daughter, do you want these men to drag people out, and where to drag them?

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Fuquan scolded: "If you don't hurry up, escort them to the heavenly prison and wait for the emperor to deal with them later." ”

"Yes." Only then did everyone step forward and take the unconscious Princess Haining down.

Gong Chengyan had a triumphant smile in his eyes, but he said with a panic on his face: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, but he didn't find out that Zou Batian's wolf ambition made the emperor feel disturbed, and asked the emperor to surrender." ”

Emperor Qinglong was already exhausted, and waved his hand to signal Fuquan.

Fuquan hurriedly helped him to get up, and said to Quan Zhi: "Lord Quan, the emperor is tired, you should know what to do with the remaining people, and quickly retreat with these people." ”

Quan Zhi said "the minister obeys the order", and after Emperor Qinglong left the main hall, he asked people to step forward, put Zhu Hua and the fake Tsuji Niang into the prison first, and personally stepped forward to appease Gong Chengyan and said: "Lord Gong, you are frightened, this matter is going around and around, I didn't expect that you and Lord Ling are both victims, the emperor is wise, now that the truth has been ascertained, you can also go back." ”

Gong Chengyan smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you for your help and help me wash away my grievances, this kindness, Gong remembered, if there is a chance in the future, he will definitely repay it." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Allwinner politely gave his hand, and let people send Gong Chengyan away.

Before leaving, Gong Chengyan looked at Gong Xiru and said with a smile: "Changyan, you still don't leave?" Thou hast worked tirelessly for the sake of thy father, go back with me, and rest well. ”

Gong Xiru bowed his head at Ling Shandao before following Gong Chengyan away.

Ling Shandao had also expected this result for a long time, and there was no loss in his heart, so he said goodbye to Quanzhi and returned to Ling's mansion.

After returning home, he told Ling Yi everything about the hall.

"Gong Chengyan is not so easy to die, he wanted that Zhang Tianhao to put the blame on his father that day, and then Zhang Tianhao repented, so he immediately decided to put all the blame on Zou Batian, although Zou Batian was not the mastermind of this matter, but he was also involved, and he was not wronged." Ling Yi said slowly.

Ling Shandao sighed, his tone sounded a little gloomy, "When did Yude become such a person, I feel very sad in my heart, but he can instantly let all those people point to Zou Batian, and hide all the evidence in the sword Zou Mansion, this technique is not simple."

I'm just worried about the future of Ling Mansion, it's not enough to be targeted by a king, and now it has become a thorn in his side, I'm afraid I will have to be very careful in the future. ”

Ling Yi smiled: "It seems that he didn't treat us as a thorn in his side before, my father may not know, Gong Chengyan didn't treat you as a brother from the beginning, his ability to hide a knife with a smile, my father slowly realized it." ”

Ling Shandao smiled angrily: "It seems that you want to enjoy your father, if you really want to help your father, think about it for me, what should I do next, I listened to that voice, my head hurt." ”

It was indeed the wailing of the Zou family outside, and Ling Yi teased: "Father can't stand it, so he will go back to Guowei Residence first, and leave it to me here." (To be continued.) )
