Ten days after getting married, Princess Chunning returned to the palace with her horse to thank her.

This is the first time Wang Xiao has entered the palace to meet him after he became married. He really misses his 'father' a little bit.

Today, Xie Ending is scheduled to see the driver at the right time, at this time, the early dynasty is over, Wang Xiao and Chunning, who are dressed in court clothes, are arranged to stand outside the Qianqing Palace and wait.

I didn't expect to wait, but I waited for a long time.

At the same time, in the Qianqing Palace, King Rui slowly knelt down in front of Emperor Yanguang.

"Sixth Uncle, what does this mean? Hurry up, please! "Emperor Yanguang is busy letting people go.

But King Rui grabbed the ground with his head, and knelt there and didn't help him up.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is old, and he has lost his son in the new calendar, so he is really incompetent to serve as the ...... of the sect."

Emperor Yanguang couldn't wait to change the sect order, but not like that.

When this honest and upright King Rui dies of old age one day, everyone will be happy. But now if he is allowed to retire from the negative spirit, there will be a lot of trouble next.

"Why did Uncle say this, and what grievances did I make for you." Emperor Yanguang said, his face showing concern.

- The old thing is threatening me again.

"Your Majesty." King Rui wept and said: "The old minister's unscrupulous son was named King Gong, but he didn't know how to be thrifty, but he was greedy for money and bribes, and acted extravagantly. The old minister has long since denied that son. Can ...... this morning The Criminal Department sent someone to question, and the old minister learned that Prince Gong's Mansion was actually designed to be killed, and the old minister was ...... in his heart."

As he spoke, he took off the crown on his head with both hands, and said solemnly: "The old minister has been in charge of the Zongren Mansion for three dynasties, although his position is idle, but the master of the family is focused on the word 'fairness', and now the old minister has lost fairness in his heart." Minister, beggar bones. ”

Emperor Yanguang already understood what he meant: Prince Gong's Mansion was designed, and the murderer was among the emperor's nine clans.

- That self-refers to my son-in-law Wang Xiao.

He then pondered and said, "Is this true? ”

"This is a matter for the Criminal Department, and the old minister has no right to interfere." Rui Wang Road.

King Rui's meaning is very clear: the Criminal Department has already mastered the evidence, and the matter of Prince Gong's Mansion is indeed premeditated by Wang Xiao.

I came here today to pinch this kid to death.

Emperor Yanguang was slightly surprised.

Can these people really find evidence?

"The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is especially open......"

~~

There were snowflakes in the sky.

Wang Xiao and Chunning were both dressed ceremoniously and stood under the eaves, like a pair of golden boys and girls outside the Jade Emperor's Palace.

"Are you cold?" The king smiled and said, "I'm waiting here myself, you go to see the concubine first." ”

Chun Ning shook his head: "It's up to us to thank you all today." ”

"Oh, then the phoenix crown on your head is heavy, right? How tiring it is to stand like this. Wang smiled.

Chunning glanced at him, a little speechless.

- Of course, it's heavy, but is this the time to care about this?

Then, they saw You Kaiji holding on to the wat board and walked over seriously.

Wang Xiao nodded to him politely.

You Kaiji didn't squint and walked straight to the hall.

Wang Xiao looked at the confident pace, and couldn't help but say, "Old guy, don't catch any evidence from me......"

~~

"What evidence is there for this kind of thing?"

Bai Yizhang chuckled lightly, and said: "Everyone knows that the kid did it, but Ruan Qia returned to the Gongwang Mansion by himself, and the person is dead, so there is no way to prove that Wang Xiao bought him." ”

He was talking in the public house of Cabinet Lu Zhengchu at this time.

"Since King Rui has made a move, I think there is evidence." Lu Zhengchu said, "The key to this matter is not whether Wang Xiao did it. Rather, it is whether the court cures the plague and who is in charge. ”

He sighed: "Mourning the hardships of people's lives...... It's a pity that the court has the helplessness of the court. Since Wang Xiao robbed the Criminal Department, I didn't send anyone to arrest Master Fu Qing, just hoping that they would understand the helplessness of the court and stop causing trouble to this complicated situation. Unexpectedly, in the end, this plague was put on the table. In this way, once the people panic, they are afraid that there will be chaos. Or the dead are too much, and the lid can't be closed, and the court will lose the hearts of the people. Or if you miss this year's work, you won't be able to hold it next year. The mess of the Chu Dynasty is not in their hands, they only care about themselves. To cure the plague, you can't get money and food in the first place. ”

Bai Yizhang said: "If the matter of curing the plague is to be put on the surface, the household department will have no money and food. Although there is an extra amount of money to be copied this year, Xuanda's military salary, disaster relief funds from various places, and the previous money have been reissued...... In this way, it is impossible to open the pot again. ”

Lu Zhengchu glanced at Bai Yizhang deeply, and then said, "Is the Liao salary ready?" ”

"Ready."

"In the end, I have to hit the idea of Liao's salary." Lu Zhengchu sighed slowly: "Zuo Jinglun thinks that the problem in this world lies in the inequality between the rich and the poor, and wants to reform the system. This is far from quenching the thirst of the near. Zheng Yuanhua sees it more clearly than him, and he just wants to guard half of the country. The old man didn't have that kind of courage. In the old man's view, building slaves is our most urgent problem. This salary cannot be moved. ”

Bai Yizhang asked: "Then now that King Rui is moving Wang Xiao, do we want to make a move?" ”

Lu Zhengchu laughed......

Qianqing Palace.

You Kaiji said: "In the case of Prince Gong's Mansion, the minister thinks that Wang Xiao is behind the planning of the horse. deliberately leading the plague into King Gong's mansion, his heart can be punished, and his crime should be beheaded. ”

Emperor Yanguang's face sank like water, and said, "You really checked it out?" It is a terrible crime to kill the prince with a horse. ”

Then, his tone became colder, and he said: "Slandering the horse and killing the prince is also a first-class crime. ”

You Kaiji was frightened, and secretly glanced at King Rui, before saying, "The minister's investigation is clear." ”

"Say."

"Yes, the minister has ascertained that the plague in Prince Gong's Mansion should have been brought into the palace by a doorman named Ruan Qia. On the night of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, this doorman was detained in the palace by a horse for 'involving the prince's case', and then transferred to Yiyuan. He escaped from Yiyuan in the middle of the night on the seventh day of the new year, and returned to Prince Gong's mansion from the mass grave in the north of the city in the early morning of the next day. The plague is supposed to have been contracted in mass graves. You Kaiji said: "This is the confession of the survivors of Prince Gong's Mansion......"

"Don't look at it." Emperor Yanguang waved his hand and said, "This does not prove that it was the horse who planned all this. ”

You Kaiji said: "Ruan Qia is indeed dead without proof, but there is one person who can prove it." ”

"Who?"

You Kaiji said: "A small guy in Yiyuan, named Hu San'er. Ruan Qia was under his care. According to Hu San'er's confession, it was actually Wang Zhu who told him to find an opportunity to let Ruan Qia go that day, so it can be seen that all this was premeditated by the Wang brothers. ”

As he spoke, his heart trembling slightly.

When he first got this certificate, You Kaiji suspected that this might be a trap. After all, he had already planted it once because he falsely accused Wang Xiao.

But Hu San'er did enter Yiyuan half a year ago, and life and death are all from the Wang family, and now he is pinched in his own hands.

You Kaiji really couldn't think of what Wang Xiao could rely on to overturn the case.

After confirming it again in his heart, You Kaiji said: "Your Majesty, this is Hu San'er's confession. This case is undoubted! ”

Emperor Yanguang took the confession and looked at it, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly burst out with murderous intent......
