() The emperor swept over with a sharp look, and the maid suddenly trembled like chaff, and the emperor looked at her like this, and what else did he not understand.

"You said you heard with your own ears the conversation between Mrs. Gu and the man?" The emperor asked without emotion in his voice.

The maid originally swore that it must be Qin Niang's private meeting with the man, but now that the emperor obviously dislikes the eldest princess, she is just a subordinate, if the emperor knows that she is lying, will she really die ugly?

In a moment, the maid opened her mouth, and she didn't say a word for a long time.

Qin Niang beat the water dog and asked: "You said that I killed Wei Fang, so why did I kill him?" He said he was going to take me away and fly away. ”

The maid opened her mouth, but she didn't answer a word.

"Oh, I'm greedy for the beauty of the capital, although Gu Chen is not an official, but he is also a rich family in the capital, what can the drama give me? So, I thought about it and decided to stay in the capital, it was really too annoying to kill the guard, so I killed him, you say, isn't that so? Qin Niang's voice became more and more gentle as she looked at the maid and asked.

The maid was as if she was stupid, just nodding.

After she subconsciously nodded, she realized that the other party was playing tricks on her, and her whole face turned pale.

Qin Niang looked at the emperor and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you see that this maid can't say anything clearly, but just now she said conclusively that the killing of Wei Fang was killed by a people's wife, and she also said that the official lady who killed Wei Fang was a people's woman, she obviously accepted the benefits of others and came to the emperor to bully the king, and I hope Your Majesty will see it." Qin Niang said, knelt on the ground, and Ying Ying bowed.

At this time, Cheng Anhou's reaction was also very fast, and he hurriedly followed: "Your Majesty, the master of the killing squad obviously fell into the water and died, just relying on this slave's nonsense, I am afraid it is not credible, and besides, the killing squad helped the spirit out of the capital overnight, why did a person from the killing class come out of thin air?" This may be because the minister has offended someone, and someone will take advantage of the chaos to step on the minister, and hope that His Majesty will see it. ”

Cheng Anhou's sentence "offended people" undoubtedly once again poked the keen nerve in the emperor's brain, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at the eldest princess's mother and daughter on the side, and that glance made the eldest princess's scalp numb.

"Cheng'an, please be cautious, you haven't offended this palace." The eldest princess said urgently.

Cheng Anhou looked at her lightly and said: "The minister didn't say anything, if the eldest princess is not weak-hearted, why should she sit down, as a military general, the minister has always been upright, and the people who offended him can't be counted, Your Majesty didn't speak, why are you in a hurry to plead?" ”

The eldest princess was dumbfounded.

At this time, the man who claimed to be the head of the killing class shouted urgently: "Your Majesty, the grass people did not lie, the killing guard did tell the grass people before his death that he had a good match, he was the daughter of the official family, that girl is not only beautiful, but also talented and good-looking, and has a good background, if he can marry her, he will not have to sing on stage again in the future, the grass people still have a thing left by the killing guard before he went to Cheng'an Houjia, he said that this is a token given to him by the girl, let me keep it for him, if he has a case, Let the grass people take this token and report to the official. ”

When Qin Niang and Cheng Anhou heard the word "token", their hearts chuckled in unison, and then they flew quickly

glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.

I don't know if the so-called token is Mu Zhiqi's, if it is, then today's ugly incident can't be covered no matter what, if not, then the other party is determined to frame Qin Niang, could it be that this token will be hers?

Qin Niang thinks that she has always kept her belongings very well, and there are guards in the courtyard who take turns to guard them, so she will never let people easily steal her personal belongings, but the killer guard is obviously bribed to slander her, and it is not strange that he will make up for her after he dies.

In short, no matter who the "token" in that person's hand is today, it is not a good thing for her and Cheng Anhou.

The entire imperial study stared closely at the hand that the man stretched out into his arms, wanting to see what he could take out, and Qin Niang's heart suddenly rose to her throat.

She wasn't afraid that the other party would really be able to take out her own things, she was afraid that if Mu Zhiqi's stupid woman really sent something personal to the killing party, then it would be in vain for her to transfer the emperor's suspicion to the eldest princess just now.

Just as everyone was waiting with bated breath for what the man had taken out of his arms, a voice suddenly sounded from outside: "Your Majesty, you better take a look at the grass people before making a decision." ”

As the voice interjected, everyone's attention was drawn to him.

Qin Niang breathed a sigh of relief silently in her heart, Gu Chen is here, she doesn't have to fight alone anymore.

As soon as Gu Chen came in, he first glanced at everyone in the room, and then after respectfully saluting the emperor, he took out a list from his arms and presented it with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is the list of all the rewards that the killer has received since his debut, and it lists the details of the rewards given by the wives and ladies of the official families in various prefectures in the capital, many of which are not cash, but some valuable utensils, and please take a look at them." ”

As soon as Gu Chen said this, the man who was shouting just now to take out the "digging things" froze suddenly, he knelt there so stupidly, watching Gonggong He beside the emperor take the list in Gu Chen's hand, and then present it to the emperor.

After the emperor only glanced at it cursoly, Gu Chen continued: "Your Majesty, killing Wei Fang is a play, he sings well, and it is normal for a wife and young lady to reward something, so the grass people are very curious, what token can this leader of the killing class come up with to slander my wife." ”

In a word, the person's next actions were directly strangled in the cradle.

Not to mention that the man who claimed to be in the killing class was stunned, even the other people standing on the side were also stunned, no one expected that Gu Chen would even find out what the wives and ladies of various provinces had rewarded for a play in the past, and made a list?

With Gu Chen's list in front, even if he takes out any surprising tokens later, others will not feel anything.

After all, as long as you are not the only one who is special about rewarding, the world will not be able to say anything about you.

Sure enough, after the emperor swept the list, he slapped it on the table, stared sharply at the man who was about to take something out, and said sharply: "You said that there is a token, take it out and I will take a look, if you don't make something out of nothing, I will definitely not let you go!" ”

Warning

Words are in words.

The man trembled with fright, and finally took out the contents of the stubble: "Your Majesty, the grass people are not lying, this is indeed what the killer Wei Fang left for me to keep for him before he died, and the grass people are also telling the truth." ”

He simply regretted dying at this time, he knew that he shouldn't have come here to do anything, and if he didn't get this one right, he would never recover.

However, now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at him in the imperial study, he can only finish speaking, and leave it to fate.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is a jade plaque that the killer put here in the grass people before he died, he said that this jade plaque is not something that ordinary people can have, if it weren't for his different identity, he couldn't give him such a priceless thing." As he spoke, the man took out a piece of milky white jade from his arms, which was carved with complex patterns and had a very special shape, and it was not something that ordinary people could buy at first glance.

The people in the imperial study were not ordinary people, so the moment the man took out the piece of jade, everyone's eyes widened.

Gonggong He hurriedly trotted over, carefully took the piece of jade, and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and the faces of the others were not much better, only Gu Chen still stood there calmly, and quietly reached out to pull Qin Niang's hand under the cover of the wide sleeve robe, and Qin Niang looked at him with a confused expression.

Gu Chen scratched in her palm, and the corners of his lips were almost invisibly hooked.

Qin Niang was speechless for a while, such a serious place, such a serious occasion, can this guy be a little more restrained!

Qin Niang wanted to withdraw her hand from his hand, but the other party held it too tightly, and the two secretly struggled and entangled for a while, until the emperor's eyes moved away from the jade plate and swept over, Gu Chen reluctantly let go of his hand, and stood there solemnly, as if he didn't do the fishy thing in front of the emperor just now.

If it weren't for the emperor in front of her, Qin Niang really wanted to roll her eyes.

She didn't know that this guy could pretend like this.

"Your Majesty, isn't this the jade plate of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Could it be that this bold man wants to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is having an affair with that lowly actor? Cheng Anhou looked at the emperor with a confused face, and then looked at the man kneeling in front of the emperor, his voice was faintly revealing a touch of schadenfreude, and then sneered, "This is really a dog's heart, I dare to slander the current prince, I don't know what to do!" ”

Is this man looking for death? I really can't stop it.

As soon as the man heard that the jade plate belonged to the prince, his face turned pale, and he was so paralyzed that he almost couldn't support it, he trembled his lips and said in a casual voice: "Your Majesty, wronged, this is really to kill the guards to the grass people, the grass people have no intention of slandering His Royal Highness the Prince, and the grass people don't know that this is something exclusive to His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty spares his life......"

The emperor had a gloomy face, a few days ago he heard Song Huai say that he was stolen when he went out in microclothes, and it seemed that he faintly mobilized the people from the city patrol camp to go to the street to arrest people, but he didn't catch it, and he didn't care too much about it at the time.

Unexpectedly, it was actually this jade plate.

"Come on, drag this nonsense-filled man down for me, and kill him with a cane!" The Emperor angrily stood up from his chair and shouted.
