Seeing that the middle-aged eunuch suddenly threw away the long sword, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, although Mo Xuan frowned, but the middle-aged eunuch hurt the person Xi Yan cared about, and he was the highest martial artist around Lin Yuyan, he naturally would not let go of the middle-aged eunuch, and was just about to give the middle-aged eunuch a fatal blow, when an eager voice suddenly came from behind him: "Don't kill him!" "Subconsciously the sword edge is off.

'Poof! ’

There was a clear sound of bone cracking, the shoulder blades of the middle-aged eunuch were pierced by Mo Xuan's soft sword, and the gushing blood of the demon smelt was swaying like rain in the air, plus Mo Xuan's internal force was too strong, even if he had withdrawn part of his internal force when he stabbed at the middle-aged eunuch, but the middle-aged eunuch was bent on death, so he did not retreat but advanced.

"Tatsuha!" Hurriedly stepped forward and carefully examined Mo Xuan's body to make sure that he was unharmed, and Qingyun was relieved.

Gently holding Qingyun's hand, ignoring everyone's different looks, Mo Xuan's beautiful face bloomed with a smile as bright as a star, and his eyes flashed with rich tenderness and firmness: "Xiyan, I said I would give you and Dragon Shadow a breath, and I did it!" ”

"I know! I know you do what you say! Qingyun nodded again and again, her heart full of emotion.

Because the two of them are talking in secret tones, outsiders only see the lips of the two of them moving slightly, and they can't hear anything, although they can't hear it, but the warm and compatible atmosphere that naturally exudes between the eyebrows and eyes of the two makes some people extremely uncomfortable, such as Lin Bingquan, snorted coldly, such as Zhang Zishan, his eyes are unpredictable, such as the rebels, all of them are frightened, and even those loyal ministers can't help frowning.

Prime Minister Han Cheng has both ability and political integrity and is peerless, but he has been weak and sick since he was a child, and the old man Tianji has already concluded that Prime Minister Han Cheng will not live to be twenty-five years old, and the ninth princess is the successor emperor, but she has always been single-minded and persistent in her feelings, coupled with her tenacity, if the ninth princess insists on only Han Cheng Prime Minister alone, wouldn't it be ......

Lowering his eyes slightly, Mrs. Han was both relieved and worried.

Looking at the two people who were in deep love, Sima Rui resolutely raised a shallow smile on the corner of his lips, and the people standing around him seemed to warm up.

And this warm and beautiful scene deeply burned Sima Chun's eyes and stabbed his heart, one thin hand was on the eunuch's hand, and the other hand holding a brocade handkerchief lightly covered his lips, trying his best to restrain the fishy sweetness that kept pouring up his throat, his eyes were gloomy and lonely, and there was a faint hint of jealousy.

Mo Xuan's unintended voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Why did King Chun stop this official from killing him?" Sima Chun's body was suddenly shocked.

Raised his eyes and glanced at Mo Xuan, Mo Xuan's eyes were bottomless, the corners of his lips were slightly raised as if he was smiling, Sima Chun's slightly pale face couldn't help but be gloomy, and he turned his eyes to look at Qingyun, seeing that her face was calm and calm, she couldn't see what she was thinking, sourness and sadness instantly hit Sima Chun's heart, and he struggled to remove his eyes to look at the middle-aged eunuch lying on the ground, and the middle-aged eunuch also happened to look up at him, the indescribable complex eyes made Sima Chun only feel suffocated.

I don't know why, the moment he saw Han Mingji's sharp soft sword stabbing at the middle-aged eunuch, and the middle-aged eunuch actually gave up resistance and calmly went to his death, his heart ached inexplicably, as if he was about to lose something important, so he subconsciously screamed.

Now in the face of Mo Xuan's interrogation, in the face of everyone's shocked looks, he naturally couldn't say the strange feeling in his heart that he had never had before, and even he couldn't understand.

Instinctively glanced at the middle-aged eunuch again, the blood gushing out was shocking, his face was as white as paper, only those eyes were bright and deep, as if he could see his soul, in an instant, there was a fishy sweetness surging up his throat, Sima Chunqiang swallowed it, and his voice was indifferent and cold.

"Although the mother concubine has been subdued, she has always been paranoid and entrenched in the harem for many years, and her power should not be underestimated, and the mother concubine has kept him by her side without telling everyone, presumably he should know a lot of secrets, and let him take the opportunity to find out the power of the mother concubine and cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to ensure that Jiu'er is safe and sound."

When the words fell, everyone's expressions changed suddenly: I didn't expect the emperor to be so ruthless for the ninth princess!

"On what basis does King Chun conclude that this person will truthfully confess the secrets of the criminal concubine?" The Protector asked rhetorically.

"Just by the fact that he tried to dissuade his mother before, it can be seen that he is not a very vicious person!" Sima Chun said meaningfully: "Besides, all the Ziyi guards under Jiu'er are masters of torture, even the most powerful hard bones, I believe that within three days, they will cry and beg for mercy with tears and snot, and there is a way to make him not even die!" ”

Looking at Sima Chun's emaciated side, the dark pupils of the light clouds were as deep as ink, and a trace of complicated feelings floated in his heart.

The middle-aged eunuch closed his eyes when he heard this, hiding the sadness and remorse in his eyes.

Knowing that Sima Chun's words were reasonable, and seeing that Qingyun was silent, Mo Xuan endured the sour taste in his heart, walked to the middle-aged eunuch's side, reached out and pointed at his acupuncture points to stop the bleeding and at the same time abolished his martial arts, then took out a pill and forcibly stuffed it into his mouth, and then ordered two secret guards to escort him to the dungeon of Luoxia Palace.

Clear eyes swept over the frightened rebel ministers, and Qingyun glanced at Lin Bingquan meaningfully, and finally landed on Zhang Zishan.

"As a courtier, Lord Zhang does not think about sharing worries for the king and seeking benefits for the people, his crime is one; Accepting bribes in disregard of the law and forming a party for personal gain, the second crime; connived at Zhang Lianwu to join the Absolute Dust Palace, intending to shake the Jiangshan Society, his third crime; Knowing that Zhang Lianwu had ill intentions, not only did he not know how to persuade him, but he aided and abused him, causing chaos and exceeding the outline, and his crime was four; used his power to secretly embezzle two taels of silver from the treasury, the amount of which was as huge as 10 million, and his crime was five; …… With such a total of crimes, even if I kill you ten times and a hundred times, it will not be enough to quell the anger of the people! ”

As Qingyun exposed Zhang Zishan's crimes, everyone's faces changed again and again, especially Zhang Zishan actually used his position to embezzle the treasury of tens of millions, not to mention those loyal ministers, even Lin Bingquan looked shocked and incredulous.

Zhang Zishan is just a dog he raised, but this low-lying dog actually betrayed him, wanted to compete with him for the country, and even embezzled the treasury under his nose, but he didn't notice it, he really looked away after so many years.

The cold tone and the cross-examination of every word shocked Zhang Zishan's back, and his face turned pale, but he pretended to be calm and said: "The ninth princess said that Weichen embezzled the treasury, what is the evidence?" Without evidence, even if it is the ninth princess, it cannot slander Weichen! ”

"Evidence? Slander? ”

With a cold smile, Qingyun walked a few steps in the direction of Zhang Zishan unhurriedly, as if there was an invisible sense of oppression, Zhang Zishan couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Mo Xuan and Lan Jue, Dancing Shadow and the Dark Guards tightly guarded Qingyun.

"Many of the ministers present have grown up watching this palace, when have you ever seen this palace slander any minister at will?"

The loyal ministers naturally said in unison: "No! ”

The rebels shook their heads.

Everyone in the world knows that the ninth princess has been taught by the emperor since she was a child, and she has always acted most justly and wisely, and has never wronged anyone.

In fact, as soon as the words came out, Zhang Zishan regretted it.

After all, the Ninth Princess has indeed not unjustly killed a person in her hands, even if she knows that Lin Bingquan has committed countless crimes and is the biggest courtier and scourge in the court, but in the absence of conclusive evidence, the Ninth Princess has always endured it.

But at that moment, it was related to the life and death of him and the entire family, and the words of rebuttal naturally blurted out, but he pushed himself into a desperate situation.

At this time, hearing everyone's accusations and seeing the strange expressions of the party henchmen, Zhang Zishan's already pale face became even more pale and panicked.

"Since Lord Zhang wants evidence, this palace will give you evidence, so that everyone present can see if this palace has slandered you!" After Qingyun finished speaking, he took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, Lan Jue stepped forward to take the paper, Qingyun waved his hand, and took a few steps forward to personally hand the paper to Zhang Zishan.

With trembling hands, Zhang Zishan only glanced at it, his face was suddenly white and colorless, and cold sweat the size of a bean broke out on his forehead, trembling like a sieve.

This is not an ordinary piece of paper at all, but it is torn from a booklet that he hides deep in the secret compartment of his study, which records his unknown secrets, including the amount and purpose of every silver tael he embezzled, and once it is made public, even if he dies, he will be scolded and spurned by the world, and it will be stinking for ten thousand years.

It was dark in front of him, Zhang Zishan sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, his pale face was full of defeat and despair, and the notes in his hand were scattered at his feet.

Except for his wife, outsiders don't know that the reason why he was able to rise all the way to the top and finally sit in the position of the head of the household is all relying on Wu'er to give advice behind his back, and even took refuge in Lin Bingquan, even if Lin Bingquan was bent on winning him over, but every step was in Wu'er's calculations, even Lin Bingquan, who was as cunning as a fox, did not notice a trace of abnormality.

Wu'er is not here, he has no master, what should I do?

It is said that the eunuch should have informed Wu'er, but Wu'er has not arrived until now, is something wrong? Still is......

No! No, it won't!

Although Wu'er is cold-hearted and ruthless, her methods are a little more vicious, but in the end, she still cares about a little family affection, and Wu'er must be on the way here at the moment, it must be like this!

just thought of the concubine and Lin Bingquan forcing them to hand over their wives, Wu'er agreed without even thinking about it, and as a result, his wife, who had been with him for many years, finally ended up being humiliated to death, and the body was thrown into the mass grave, he wanted to secretly bring his wife's bones back and bury them in the ancestral tomb of the Zhang family, but Wu'er actually stopped him strongly, causing his wife to become a lonely ghost and die without blinking her eyes.

Zhang Zishan, who had just believed that Wu'er would come to save him, shook again, and the chill quickly spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and despair and panic also swept his body and mind.

Just when Zhang Zishan was in despair, he inadvertently saw that the handwriting on a certain piece of paper scattered at his feet seemed to be a little different.

Suspicious, to be precise, Zhang Zishan, who was unwilling to die in defeat like this, hurriedly picked up the piece of paper, and when he saw the content on it clearly, his originally dark eyes lit up again.

Suddenly looking up at Qingyun, Zhang Zishan shook the note in his hand, and was so excited that he was incoherent: "Nine, nine princesses...... This is not Wechen's note...... Someone planted the blame for the micro-minister...... Wechen didn't ...... Didn't take that much money from the treasury ......"

"Take?"

Condescendingly staring at Zhang Zishan, who was inexplicably excited, the eyebrows under Qingyun's eyes contained a sharp and cold terrifying edge, and the innate imperial domineering spirit burst out all over his body, and everyone trembled involuntarily, all of them were in awe.

"Since ancient times, there is a cloud: if you don't ask, you will be regarded as stealing! According to the law, the lighter one was punished with thirty boards, and the heavier one was exiled for three thousand miles or beheaded for public display! And the treasury and silver belong to the imperial court and the people of the whole country, not your Zhang Zishan's personal, but you use your position to enrich your pockets, which is even more of a crime! ”

Zhang Zishan was speechless for a moment.

took the piece of paper in Zhang Zishan's hand, Qingyun glanced around at everyone, and finally fell on him: "No one planted the blame for you, every silver tael on this piece of paper was recorded by the palace for you, and then used as evidence to accuse you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed, and they looked at Qingyun's eyes in horror and confusion.

"Nine, Nine Princesses......"

Staring at Qingyun with wide eyes, Zhang Zishan's pale lips opened, but before he could say anything, Qingyun had already said coldly: "The day before this palace left the capital, I personally went to check the treasury with you, and compared it with the account books, the treasury and the account books clearly showed that there were still 58,420,000 taels of silver and 35 million taels of gold;

Last night, the palace went to the treasury to carefully count it, and there were less than 30 million taels of silver and less than 10 million taels of gold;

You say that you have not embezzled so many taels of silver from the treasury, so where are the few taels of silver? Could it be that those silver taels themselves grew wings and flew out of the heavily guarded treasury? ”

"Wechen ......"

"There is also the palace to assist Emperor Zhou and Emperor Liang to quell the civil strife, Emperor Zhou and Emperor Liang each gave the palace five million taels of silver to show gratitude, Emperor Zhou's five million taels of silver, the palace took out two million taels of which were rewarded to the soldiers guarding the border pass, and the remaining three million taels of silver were personally led by Dingyuan Bo Duan Fanghong to lead 10,000 Ningyuan soldiers to all be transported back to the capital to fill the treasury, and Dingyuan Bo sent the receipt of the flying pigeon written by you and stamped with the official seal to the palace!"

Qingyun took out a special note from his sleeve and handed it to Lan Jue, Lan Jue immediately took the paper and walked around in front of the ministers, which was indeed Zhang Zishan's note, and the number of silver taels and the red seal fully proved that what Qingyun said was the truth.

"As for Emperor Liang's five million taels of silver, before the palace could arrange for it to be transported back to the capital, the news came that the emperor was seriously ill, so the palace made another arrangement!" Looking at Zhang Zishan, whose face was like ashes, Qingyun said majestically: "Now that the evidence is conclusive, Zhang Zishan, do you still have to quibble?" ”

collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud, Zhang Zishan's eyes were distracted: It's over, it's all over......

"Come on, detain the criminal Zhang Zishan in the prison, and ask him to be beheaded on a certain day! After his henchmen are handed over to the three divisions for review, they will make a decision! ”

"Yes!"

The ministers who were attached to Zhang Zishan all turned as white as snow when they heard this, and they were powerless to let the Praetorian Guards escort or carry them to the prison.

However, in just over an hour, the rebel ministers of the two factions who were plotting rebellion were solved by Qingyun vigorously and resolutely, and the loyal ministers naturally rejoiced.

And Lin Bingquan's henchmen panicked, and Qi Qi looked at him eagerly and worriedly, secretly praying that he could resolve the predicament in front of him, otherwise they would definitely end up with the same fate as the previous two factions.

I have long known that since last year, the ninth princess seems to have changed as if she is a different person, smart and wise and decisive, but she has easily eliminated Lin Yuqi and Zhang Zishan and their henchmen as quietly as she did today, and her cool mind and meticulous mind still shocked Lin Bingquan.

But the so-called ginger is still old and spicy! He didn't believe that a mere yellow-haired girl could fight against him, an old fox who had become a fine spirit!

Seeing Qingyun looking at himself, those dark eyes were bottomless, making people unable to see the content clearly, but it seemed to contain too much insight, too much clarity, for a while, Lin Bingquan felt as if he had taken off his clothes and exposed in front of Qingyun, and he felt a little scared inexplicably.

Although he wanted to cut this chaotic minister and thief who poisoned his father and the emperor and caused chaos beyond the program with a thousand knives, Qingyun still just looked at him quietly, and his beautiful and vulgar face was as quiet as a pool of water, neither eradicating the pride and arrogance of the two factions of rebels, nor the slightest hatred for Lin Bingquan.

The two men looked straight at each other, both pursed their lips and did not speak.

Whether it was those loyal ministers or Lin Bingquan's henchmen, they looked at Qingyun and then at Lin Bingquan, and they were determined to remain silent together.

The warm sun shining on the earth in the golden red and silver white, the golden and splendid palace stands majestically, and the breeze is mixed with a refreshing coldness, and the atmosphere is silent and eerie.

I don't know if it's because I'm old and not as energetic as before, or because I'm scared under Qingyun's deep and sea-like eyes, Lin Bingquan took the lead in defeating, opened his eyes slightly, and said in a weird manner: "I don't know what evidence the ninth princess will come up with to testify against the old minister?" ”

"What crime does Captain Lin think he has committed?" With a faint smile, Qingyun asked without answering.

"You ......"

In front of the ministers, Lin Bingquan, who had always been smooth sailing and was accustomed to being the only one, suddenly felt disgraced, and stared at the light cloud with a light expression: "The old minister has always been loyal to the emperor and has done his best to the court, how can he commit any crimes?" ”

Hearing that Lin Bingquan actually flaunted himself so brazenly, those loyal ministers were all angry.

And his henchmen only felt extremely embarrassed, and they lowered their heads one after another, trying to hide their sense of zài.

"Really?" Qingyun raised his eyebrows, not salty, not indifferent.

"Of course!" Glancing at Sima Chun standing beside Qingyun, Lin Bingquan turned his eyes to look at Qingyun: "What the ninth princess wants to say is nothing more than the old minister's inheritance of the throne, presumably the emperor didn't tell you, the old minister has the emperor's own handwriting and stamped the jade seal's edict, and the old minister's inheritance of the throne is justified!" ”
