Chapter Forty-Six: Some Charge Ahead, Some Ride Behind
The lavishly decorated hall suddenly burst into flames.
Emperor Jingxiao got up, slapped the dragon case with his big hand, and the scene calmed down again, up to the concubine, the civil and military officials, and down to the two hundred Zhongqing cloth clothes were all holding their breath and concentrating, hanging a worried heart, for fear that a little carelessness would cause death.
In the depressed and tense atmosphere, Emperor Jingxiao shouted:
"Poisoning? How could such a thing be? What kind of poison did the murderer throw? β
Leng Qingtang was indifferent and calm, and replied respectfully:
"The well water is fed to the livestock through the Tai Hospital, and this poison has been quenched from the five thoroughfares, and the emperor may wish to send the prayer to the palace to make a request."
Emperor Jingxiao twisted his eyebrows and rubbed his palms: "The envoy of the Chuan Tai Hospital." β
After a short time, the prayer envoy went to the temple and knelt on the ground and bowed.
The Emperor raises his hand:
"Tell me what you know!"
The envoy of the prayer court bowed his hand: "Back to the emperor, after repeated verification by the Tai Hospital, it was confirmed that the people of the capital drank poisonous well water instead of being infected with the epidemic.
Wutou grass grows in Shudi in southern Xinjiang all year round, and its branches, leaves, rhizomes are highly poisonous. If a person eats it by mistake, it can cause internal colic, vomiting and diarrhea, and death due to febrile convulsions and pulmonary qi obstruction, which is the same as the plague. β
After hearing this, the emperor's face was gloomy, and the green tendons on his forehead stretched out of the skin, and roared angrily:
"The poisoner really deserves to die! Where is he now, bring it to the temple immediately and show it to meβ"
Under an order, the national teacher Yu Xuanji led people to ambush Qin Tianjian Jiupin Si Chen, Si Li and Song Jian Zheng to the palace.
The hall was silent, and countless pairs of eyes were shocked, angry, or hostile, firmly fixed on them.
The five of them knelt down under the golden platform, trembling all over, and they didn't dare to come out with their necks shrunk.
The emperor looked down and looked down, his eyes were full of anger:
"Song Xiang, I promoted you to be the Qintian Supervisor and treated you well, but you actually dared to bully the king and slander Concubine Yu and deliberately murder my emperor?!"
"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life......"
Supervisor Song was trembling and prostrate, crying so much that his old tears and snot were flowing all over his face, and he couldn't cry:
"The minister is not hearted, someone plundered the minister's wife and children and forced the minister to poison the well water in the city, and then made up the theory that the concubine was confused and guarded to force Concubine Yu to have a miscarriage. If the minister doesn't do what they say, the minister's family will die......"
Yu Xuanji's red fairy clothes were as enchanting as fire, and his cold eyes swept across the ground and the people who were crying and couldn't form an army, holding his lips and laughing, his complexion was cold:
"Poor Dao is bold, the person who persecuted Song Xiang must be Lin Zhangzheng, who has newly entered the palace of Qin Tianjian......"
In an instant, Song Jian was sad and sad, and after a trembling moment, he was as humble as a frightened bird.
The emperor's fist clenched and smashed heavily on the dragon case:
"Come on, push Song Xiang and his four subordinates out of the noon gate and behead them, hang their heads in the city tower to show the public, and the nine clans involved are beheaded."
The sonorous voice fell, and the five members of Qin Tianjian fainted and fell down, dragging them down like dead dogs.
Everyone in the palace knelt down, and the concubines, court officials, or people said in unison:
"The emperor is wise, long live the emperor, long live, long live."
The emperor turned his eyes to look at Leng Qingtang and pointed his fingers:
"You go, immediately bring that chapter to me, live to see people, dead to see corpses."
Leng Qingtang curled the corners of his lips lightly, pressed his bare hands between his sleeves, and raised:
"Please rest assured, the emperor has already sent two people to chase him around the capital, and once the criminal is caught, the minister will personally bring him to see you. At present, the act is imminent, and the minister needs to return to the East Factory to deploy important matters, and he can't stay here for a long time, and he hopes that the emperor will forgive his sins. β
Emperor Jingxiao's hideous face turned up in an instant, and he nodded with satisfaction:
"Well, my country is indispensable to you, the pillar of Liang Yuzhu, you can go."
"We're grateful."
Leng Qingtang got up, turned around and walked out, and the moment his eyes flowed, he looked towards Concubine Xu's seat. Seeing that there was only Jinzhu standing behind her, her heart immediately sank, and her eyes were clear and dark.
Yunxi, does she really want to go her own way?
When Leng Qingtang left the hall, Emperor Jingxiao held his forehead, looked at Gu Yunyao in the audience with dark eyes, and sighed:
"Yao'er, I've really wronged you."
When Queen Qian heard this, she got up from the phoenix chair, lifted her skirt and walked down the golden steps step by step, and went to Gu Yunyao's side to help her up:
"Sister Yu, you can't help kneeling when you're pregnant. Quick, follow the main palace to the stage and sit. β
"The concubine thanked the queen mother."
Gu Yunyao said, but her face was cold and warm.
Imperial Concubine Wan Yuyao sat silent, her cold eyes narrowed, watching Queen Qian and Concubine Yu join hands on the stage, and her poisonous heart fell to the bottom.
β¦β¦
On a dark and windy night, a man was chased by the Dongchang guards, and ran in a hurry under the moon. He must have been injured during the beating, and at this moment, he stumbled step by step, and he was about to be caught up by the latter.
At the critical moment, a black shadow fell in the air, and unexpectedly knocked down Yiban Wei. The steel knife in the man's hand was snatched away by the masked man, and he wielded the cold light of the forest and fought with the guards.
The number of fans in this team is not large, less than twenty, but it is under the command of Zao Wou-Ki. The masked man surrounded by them looked delicate and slender, and it didn't look like he could fight.
Unexpectedly, this person's move was steady and ruthless, and the knife injured the opponent's limbs between the waves, although it was not critical, but the guards were all crooked and could not attack again.
The two fingers of the vacant left hand were clamped tightly, and inadvertently hit the opponent's numb point, and the opponent's bones were as soft as mud, and he collapsed to the ground without the power to kill.
In a moment, the guards were all cleaned up by the mysterious masked man.
Turning around, the masked man walked up to the man being chased with a steel knife in his hand.
The man trembled and shook his hands:
"Don't, don't kill me, hero, please spare my life......"
The black cloth covered by the masked man moved, and when he spoke, his voice was light and tactful, and he shouted coldly:
"Give me the Kunhuang Island map in your hand immediately!"
The man was suddenly frightened, listening to the voice, the other party was a young girl, and his heart calmed down somewhat, squeezing his eyebrows and pretending not to understand:
"Girl, what are youβwhat are you talking about? What a picture, I've never heard of me [this chapter is not finished, please click on the next page]
