One night later, the news that the crown prince Xiao Rui colluded with the rebel Yang to eradicate dissidents and assassinate the prince spread throughout Kyoto, and the people were in an uproar and the ministers were horrified.

And as His Majesty ordered the three divisions to interrogate, this matter has become the biggest topic since the New Year, which is even more intense than the conquest of Zhao State!

The early morning Daxia Daily, the front page is an article: "Rumors Stop at the Wise"!

The article focuses on describing the harm caused by gossip and framing to a person, coupled with the hot topic now, and the driving force behind the Daxia Daily is His Royal Highness the Prince, so the people and officials think that this is the prince using the newspaper to prove his innocence!

And this move also made King Ruyang relax his vigilance. Because in his opinion, Xiao Rui was forced to be in a hurry, so he began to use unscrupulous means to control public opinion with newspapers, so as to clear his own charges and shirk his relationship with the Yang organization.

This kind of behavior does have an effect, but in the eyes of His Majesty, it is bound to believe that the prince has a relationship with the Yang organization!

How could Xiao Rui's three strategists not understand this? Playing this play is to make the play more similar.

The Xianwang Mansion at this time.

As Xiao Rui's former palace, it is still his industry. Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Zhang Liang are still living here, and the three of them are seeing Jing Feng in the living room at this time.

The agreement reached between the King of Ruyang and Jing Feng was that Zhong Ling and Wu Yazi were willing to sacrifice and slander Xiao Rui, but they must ensure Jing Feng's safety and freedom, and hand over the bronze dragon pillar to Jing Feng after the deed!

Zhong Ling and Wu Yazi are both people who have been cultivated by the Yang Organization since childhood, and their belief is to reproduce the glory of the Ink Maker, but they don't care about their lives, so what about sacrifice?

King Ruyang needed to take advantage of Jing Feng, so naturally he was not under house arrest.

However, King Ruyang underestimated Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Zhang Liang, and the three of them had already secretly arrested Jing Feng back.

"If the three of you want to threaten Wuya with my life, you don't have to. They and I share the same belief that we are not afraid of death. Jing Feng Dao.

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Your Yang organization keeps saying that you will cooperate with His Royal Highness the Prince, but now you are being coaxed by the King of Ruyang, and you have betrayed it directly, tsk, no wonder the ink will die!" ”

Jing Feng was silent.

Morally speaking, they really have no principles in their organization.

At the beginning, supporting the King of Chu and giving advice to the King of Chu was a glue-like relationship, but later when he saw that Xiao Rui had an ink box, he immediately wanted to cooperate with Xiao Rui. This is just a cooperation and is on a honeymoon, and he has begun to fall into the arms of King Ruyang again.

This kind of behavior is too lowly!

At that time, the Moshi believed in and loved non-attack, and he really had the great intention of the world and pursued the great harmony of the world, but now it has completely changed its taste.

Even Jing Feng didn't know when it became like this.

Jia Xu also understood that he couldn't threaten him, so he looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia opened the wooden box on the table and took out the bronze box from it, which was the bronze dragon pillar in Yang Zhi's mouth!

"What's the use of this thing, it's better to leave it to the craftsman to melt him!" Guo Jia said with a smile.

When Jing Feng saw the bronze dragon pillar, he suddenly got up, and then his eyes were glazed, staring at the bronze dragon dragon pillar deadly, unable to say a word.

"That's why I say you're stupid! Don't see if King Ruyang has anything you need in his hands, just don't support it, tsk..."Jia Xu couldn't help but sneer.

Jing Feng opened his mouth, he really wanted to slap himself, the kind that bleeds!

After a long time, Jing Feng sighed and asked, "Sir, what do you need me to do?" ”

……

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, the atmosphere is not as oppressive as imagined.

Emperor Xia and Xiao Rui each held a cup of tea, which was made by Yan Xiaoxiao himself, and the fragrance of tea lingered, and Emperor Xia asked, "Tomorrow, the three divisions will be tried, are the rhetoric and evidence ready?"

"Erchen is innocent, the pure are self-purifying, and the turbid are self-turbid, so no rhetoric and evidence have been prepared! I believe that with his excellent quality, morality, literacy, quality, and handsomeness, Erchen will definitely be able to influence this group of traitors and let them tell the truth about how they slandered Erchen! Xiao Rui said solemnly.

Emperor Xia nodded and said: "You are so fearless, it seems that you have indeed been slandered, you can solve it best, as the prince, you are the target of the group attack, if you don't have the ability and courage to block the danger, you are not worthy of being the prince!" I can make you the prince, but I can't guarantee that you will always be the prince, whether you can sit in this position safely depends on yourself, and I have to follow the rules. There is no right or wrong in such a thing, there is no insidious and ruthless, it is just a way, when you really sit on the throne of the crown prince, that is, when you have the ability to inherit the throne. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Rui was greatly moved.

Your Majesty's words shouldn't have been said, because the enemies Xiao Rui faced were too complicated, including relatives who were related by blood! What to do with your loved ones? Do you talk about family affection and benevolence? His Majesty taught him a way, there is no right or wrong means, and there is no difference between insidious and ruthless, they are all ways.

To do great things, there will be some price to pay after all.

The time came to the next day, and the time for the triage of the three divisions.

Xiao Rui said goodbye to Emperor Xia, and under the escort of the prince's personal guard, he set up the prince's guard of honor for the first time to go to Dali Temple.

In Dali Temple, Yue Chong, who is the secretary of Dali Temple, is personally waiting in front of Dali Temple. Just now, he had already greeted Hao Yun from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Song Ci from the Criminal Department, and these two accompanied him to the three divisions for interrogation, but there was no surprise. But then, they waited for Xiao Lie, the king of Jin, and Xiao Jing, the king of Jing, and the two princes declared that the case involved the crown prince, and they had to come to support as brothers. It's just that this is the scene of the assassin, or the field of the prince?

Yue Chong didn't dare to ask.

Later, even Xiao Mingying, the old prince of the Zongren Mansion, came, and the case involved the crown prince, and the Zongren Mansion must participate.

Yue Chong didn't dare to say more, and respectfully invited the old prince into Dali Temple.

Now, it's just His Royal Highness the Prince.

While Yue Chong was anxious, Xiao Rui's carriage arrived.

Xiao Rui got out of the carriage and saw Yue Chong step forward, and said respectfully: "Yue Chong, the secretary of Weichen Dali Temple, meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" Today, His Royal Highness the Prince deigned to Dali Temple, and Weichen was deeply frightened. ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Lord Yue, hurry up and excuse me, today's three divisions will be tried, and you will trouble Lord Yue to uphold justice!" Whether this king is innocent or not depends on Lord Yue's washing! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious, today the three divisions will be tried, and Weichen will definitely enforce the law impartially and fully cooperate with Lord Hao and Lord Song!" Yue Chong said hurriedly, and hurriedly pushed out Hao Yun and Song Ci.

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Lord Du of the Metropolitan Procuratorate sent Lord Hao here?" Is it Lord Song from the Criminal Department? I have long heard that these two adults enforce the law impartially and strictly discipline themselves, and I believe that they will be able to find out the truth! What do you say, Lord Yue? ”

"Yes, yes..."Yue Chong secretly scolded Young Du in his heart, this guy is so insidious, he didn't come, he specially sent Hao Yun to come.

Subsequently, Yue Chong led the way and invited Xiao Rui into the official office of Dali Temple.

Xiao Rui walked into the court, looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "It's really lively today, so many people are here." ”

Although they were very reluctant, Xiao Lie, Xiao Jing and the others saluted first and said respectfully: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Xiao Rui is the prince and the prince, this is the number of etiquette.

Xiao Rui returned the salute.

At this time, Xiao Mingying, the king of Zhou, explained: "Last night, His Majesty sent a message to let this king come to see the trial process of the case. ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "My nephew knows that my father mentioned this matter yesterday and said that he would invite the emperor's uncle to come and watch to avoid an unjust and wrongful case." With an elder like Uncle Huang here, the nephew is not afraid of being wronged and bullied. ”

As soon as these words came out, the smiles of the others remained the same, only the corners of Xiao Lie's eyes twitched, and Xiao Jing snorted coldly, and the two showed the retching in their hearts.

Xiao Mingying said with a smile: "The prince can rest assured, justice is in the hearts of the people, and he will not wronged any innocent person!" ”

Xiao Rui nodded, and his eyes were on Xiao Lie and Xiao Jing again. Especially Xiao Jing, since he was injured by an arrow, he has come to live in a shallow place, and this time he heard that he could deal with himself, so he saw him, and it seems that this brotherhood was lost in an instant.

"What is King Jing doing these days? I'm a lot haggard, are my legs and feet better? Xiao Rui smiled and said, which pot he didn't open and mention.

Xiao Jing's face was instantly gloomy, and Xiao Rui's words were like tearing open his freshly scarred wound, instantly sprinkling some sea salt with cumin.

Xiao Lie also smiled, he liked to watch the enemy bite each other, and the pain of the enemy was his own joy.

Who knows, Xiao Rui turned his head to look at Xiao Lie again and asked, "King Jin, how is my little nephew?" If you don't send it to the palace, I'm helping to teach and teach! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lie raised his eyebrows angrily, and he was usually angry, and he shouted in a low voice: "Prince, don't go too far!" ”

Xiao Rui was momentarily stunned.

! Is Xiao Lie crazy? Did you say something wrong?

The conscience of heaven and earth, I don't care about my little nephew without any selfishness, after all, I taught them to lie last time, and now I can't bear to think about it, so I care about it.

What did you do wrong?

Why is Xiao Lie so irritable? And I was excessive, where was I excessive? I haven't done anything to my sister-in-law, and I can be absolutely sure that my nephew is definitely a nephew!

Without waiting for Xiao Rui to speak, Xiao Mingying, the king of Zhou, reminded: "King Jin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about his nephew, how can you be so rude?" Is this the attitude that a courtier and a brother should have? ”

Xiao Lie gritted his teeth and apologized: "Prince, it was this king who offended, please forgive me." ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "King Jing's beloved son is heartfelt, and this king understands." ”

Yue Chong on the side saw the opportunity and immediately changed the topic: "His Royal Highness the Prince, princes, the time for ascension has come..."

"Then don't delay everyone's time, let's triage the three divisions." Xiao Rui nodded, then walked under the public hall and sat down on the left side.

Xiao Mingying, Xiao Lie, and Xiao Jing sat on the right side, followed by Dali Temple sitting under the plaque hanging by the mirror, and Hao Yun and Song Ci sitting on the left and right.

Everyone sat down, Yue Chong picked up the startling wood and dropped it gently: "Smack!" ”

"Ascension!"

The first time the officials on both sides saw Lord Yue so gentle, in the past, they used to treat Jingtangmu as an enemy who killed their father, and they were deafening, but now they caressed it gently, and the officials were not suitable for it.

"Mighty..."The officials were stunned for a few seconds before they hurriedly tapped the water and fire sticks.

Yue Chong coughed and said, "Today, on the orders of Your Majesty, the three divisions will interrogate the rebel Yang organization!" Previously, Dongchang had handed over the confessions and incriminating evidence of the traitors of the Yang organization to Dali Temple. Today's triage of the three divisions will thoroughly investigate the charges of the Yang organization! ”

After speaking, Yue Chong glanced at Hao Yun and Song Ci and asked, "Do the two adults have any objections?" ”

"Nope!" Hao Yun and Song Ci shook their heads.

Yue Chong glanced at Xiao Rui's four princes again, and then patted the shocked wood, shouting, "Then take the prisoner!" ”

Subsequently, the official brought Wu Yazi, Zhong Ling and others into the court.

Yue Chong shouted: "The criminals in the hall, but they are members of the Rebel Thief Yang Organization? Get your name now! ”

Wu Yazi was dressed in tattered robes, and he was not free and easy in the past, he said: "The grass people have no cliffs, they are indeed from the Yang Organization!" ”

"Zhong Ling, the grass people, is also from the Yang organization!"

"Grass people and Wang Min, from the Yang organization!"

…

Twelve people truthfully revealed their identities.

The members of the Yang organization are distributed all over the place, and although the Jiren Academy is the base camp of the Yang organization, there can't be too many people to avoid attracting the attention of others, so there are only five or six people to protect Jing Feng, so that they can hide it for so long without being detected by outsiders.

Even now, Jing Feng, Wu Yazi, and Zhong Ling didn't know how they revealed their identities. Because in the past, they would not go to Jiren Academy to get together at all, but this time because Qin Ming came to Kyoto, they met at Jiren Academy.

Yue Chong picked up the confession and said, "In Dongchang, you have already confessed, admitted to assassinating the officials of Great Xia, and sent someone to assassinate His Royal Highness the King of Jin, is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes! We confess our sins! Wu Yazi and Zhong Ling nodded, and the two admitted again and did not turn their confessions.

Yue Chong nodded and said, "Very good!" Since you have confessed to the assassination of the imperial court officials and the imperial family, and there is no such thing as torture and beating, you will sign and draw a charge later, and the evidence of this crime will be conclusive! ”

At this time, Xiao Lie, the king of Jin, spoke: "Lord Yue, there must be a reason why this group of traitors assassinated the officials of the court and assassinated this king!" This king has heard that they are under the command of the current crown prince, and the evidence is conclusive! His Majesty's arrangement for the three divisions to interrogate must be to investigate this matter, Lord Yue can't pretend to be confused! ”

"That's right! Everyone is here today, but it's not for you to interrogate, it's a big deal to restore the prince's innocence. Xiao Jing said sarcastically.

Xiao Rui snorted: "This king is naturally innocent!" Lord Yue, let's start, this king wants to see how this group of traitors slanders this king! ”

Yue Chong nodded, and immediately asked: "Your Majesty prisoner, you threatened to assassinate the imperial court officials and His Royal Highness the King of Jin at the instigation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but is there such a thing?" This official advises you to confess and be lenient, if you slander, it is a great crime to exterminate the race! ”

Hao Yun also shouted: "That's right! Be lenient in your confession! Who instructed you to do what you did? ”

"Let's speak out boldly, the three of them are investigating on the orders of His Majesty, and there are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the three princes sitting in the hall! Who are you commanding you? We can all call the shots for you! Song Ci also shouted.

Xiao Lie and Xiao Jing were stunned, they both knew that Hao Yun and Song Ci were the prince's people, but listening to the tone of the two, how could they wish that the prisoner would quickly tell the truth and identify the prince! Did they hear it wrong?

Xiao Rui drank tea and quietly looked at Wu Yazi and Zhong Ling, waiting for the two to perform!

At this moment, Wu Yazi suddenly howled and shouted, "Please also ask the three adults to be the masters of the sinners!" The one who instructed us to kill officials and assassinate the prince was not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent, noble, handsome, graceful, for the country and the people, punishing the strong and helping the weak, honest and brave... How could such a good prince do such a thing? ”

Zhong Ling also wailed: "We were threatened by others, so we wronged His Royal Highness the Prince!" During this time, we have suffered in our hearts, and today we are even more ashamed to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with our own eyes, so we don't want to be threatened anymore and are willing to confide in the truth! ”

……

Wu Yazi and Zhong Ling Movie Emperor went on and immediately retracted their confessions!

This situation made everyone present look at each other, especially Xiao Lie and Xiao Jing, who stood up suddenly, stunned.

Just retracted the confession directly? didn't even make a trick into torture, so he directly retracted his confession?

In addition, there is no cliff, if you retract your confession, you will retract your confession, and you still tout the prince is a few meanings! It's a few meanings!

Teasing us!

At this time, Xiao Rui actually sighed sincerely: "Although this king is very good, he didn't expect that just his handsome skin and excellent character would make two sinful sinners wake up and tell the truth!" Could this be a soldier who surrenders without a fight? ”

"Impossible!" Xiao Jing said angrily, he pointed at Wuyazi and Zhong Ling, and said angrily: "Are you being threatened, that's why you have to retract your confession!" ”

Wu Yazi said solemnly: "The reason why the sinner retracted his confession is because he doesn't want the real murderer to go unpunished, we wake up, and ask Your Highness and Your Excellency to find out!" ”

Xiao Jing said angrily: "But the physical evidence you have already provided, and now you want to retract your confession, it is likely that you were coerced!" ”

Xiao Rui was furious, slapped the table and got up, and shouted: "King Jing, do you just want to sit on the prince and be the mastermind behind the scenes?" How daring! Father ordered the three divisions to be tried, and the three divisions were taken here, what kind of system did you roar like this? Do you want to make decisions for the three directors? ”

Xiao Mingying also shouted: "King Jing, sit down!" Otherwise, don't blame the king for inviting you out! ”

Xiao Jing snorted coldly and sat down directly.

Yue Chong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, he had long known that today's interrogation would be full of twists and turns, but he didn't expect that the case would be overturned directly before it began to twist and turn.

Then again, what kind of person is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can he be slandered?

Yue Chong saw that the scene was a little cold, so he asked, "Criminals in the hall, are you sure you want to retract your confession?" ”

"Yes!" Wu Yazi and Zhong Ling responded.

Yue Chong said: "Since you want to retract your confession, how can you explain the evidence provided before to slander His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Wu Yazi said respectfully: "Those evidences are all fake evidence designed by the people behind the scenes, and the ink box was also stolen by us who sneaked into the Xianwang Mansion and stole it." ”

Yue Chong shouted: "Who is the real person behind the scenes?" Recruit from the truth! ”

Wu Yazi shouted: "Lord Huiyu, it's the king of Ruyang!" ”

"Who?"

Yue Chong felt that his ears were ringing, but he didn't react.

Xiao Rui reminded with a smile: "Lord Yue, the traitor in the hall said that the real person behind the scenes is the King of Ruyang!" ”

Yue Chong: ...

How did you pull out the king of Ruyang, the head of the four county kings?

, today's three-division trial is destined to have a big incident!

Even Xiao Mingying, the king of Zhou, was stunned, the loyal King of Ruyang turned out to be the mastermind behind the scenes?

Xiao Lie and Xiao Jing were also confused, which sentence of this group of traitors was true and which sentence was false?

Yue Chong turned his head to look at Xiao Rui, and then at Xiao Mingying, at this time he didn't know how to try the case.

Or Xiao Mingying said old-fashionedly, "Prisoner under the hall, you said that the person behind the scenes is the king of Ruyang, is there any evidence?" ”

"There is no evidence for sinners." Wu Yazi and Zhong Ling both shook their heads.

Xiao Mingying said: "Since there is no evidence, how can you know that what you said is true!" ”

Yue Chong asked, "Lord Zhou, what should I do now?" Do you want to be punished? ”

Xiao Mingying looked at Xiao Rui and asked, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think?" ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, now that the prisoner has retracted his confession, the innocence of this king can be washed away." But now that the prisoner has been identified as the instigation of the King of Ruyang, does he have to invite the King of Ruyang to come to Dali Temple to participate in the investigation? But... Because of the identification of the traitor, it caused several princes and county kings to fight each other, which is really a joke, and when it was spread, I thought we were being tricked. Therefore, this king, please ask Your Majesty to decide this matter. ”

"Makes sense! Lord Yue, then sign and seal today's interrogation, and then tell Your Majesty the truth. Xiao Mingying suggested.

Yue Chong couldn't wait for this, and hurriedly got up and answered.

Xiao Rui smiled, said goodbye to everyone, and returned to the palace.

Let Wu Yazi and Zhong Ling retract their confessions and wash away Xiao Rui's suspicion is the first step, and wronging King Ruyang is the second step. But now I also know that without Yazi's confession alone, King Ruyang will not be convicted at all. But why do you even need to identify the king of Ruyang?

The purpose of Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Zhang Liang is to let His Majesty see the problem of King Ruyang!

After all, from the beginning, this was the game set up by King Ruyang, but now this game not only failed to hurt Xiao Rui, but exposed him. How smart His Majesty is today, if you think about it before and after, you will guess that it is the king of Ruyang who is setting up a trap.

Once His Majesty begins to suspect it, King Ruyang, who has been hidden for so long, will reveal his true colors!

Therefore, this is Xiao Rui's intention to ask the three divisions to be tried.
