Volume 8 Thunder in the Daytime Chapter 66 Confession

Liu Mingyan saw that the palace maid who had summoned Zhu Zhitong had gone away, and knew that it was equivalent to one more witness, so she was even more sure in her heart, and continued to reply: "After the news of the civil uprising came, the minister immediately sent 200 Baisha Camp warriors to Nanhua Island to assist Shen Xianyun in maintaining the situation. However, Shen Xianyun loved the people very much, and couldn't bear to make a big deal against the people, so she only left twenty people in the Qingzhou Mansion and sent the rest of the warriors back. A few days later, Shen Xianyun suddenly came to my Southern Xinjiang Governor's Palace, saying that she had discovered some secrets, and that the Nanhua gold sale case was a big unjust case......"

Lu Wenchi heard that Liu Mingyan had been praising Shen Xianyun before, and what she said was full of words of protection, and he was wondering what her intentions were, when he suddenly heard that the Nanhua gold sale case was an unjust case, he couldn't help but stand on end, and just about to refute it, someone had already rushed ahead of him, only to hear an angry reprimand from the palace:

"What? Do you say that the Nanhua gold sale case is an unjust case? You repeat! Princess Zhu Yuxiao stood up and walked up to Liu Mingyan, the anger on her face was enough to make others retreat, but she couldn't stop herself from trembling.

Seeing his sister's expression, Emperor Ming knew that he had touched the most untouchable heartstring in her heart, and he also said sharply: "Governor Liu, this matter is very important, you need to think twice when you say something!" ”

Liu Mingyan's face did not change and her voice did not tremble, her eyebrows moved, and she said loudly: "The minister is absolutely not lying!" The Nanhua gold sale case is indeed an unjust case. Shen Xianyun said to the minister that the Hubu Shilang back then, that is, the Hubu Shangshu Lu Wenchi Lu who is now standing on that side, was in cahoots with Wen Hegui on the island, referring to the deer as a horse, and falsely claiming the pyrite in the newly opened mine on Nanhua Island as a gold mine. Later, in the name of insufficient refining gold, he framed Zhao Yu, the then secretary of the household department, for privately filling his pockets and embezzling the treasury, causing Zhao Yu to be imprisoned and cast an unjust case. ”

Lu Wenchi yelled angrily: "You are talking nonsense! How could Shen Xianyun say such a thing? You must be making it up! Bloody mouth! Now that Shen Xianyun is dead, is there no proof that he wants to die? ”

Shen Xianyun has been her confidant for 20 years, and she was brought up by herself, how could she turn against Liu Mingyan overnight, not to mention that she was also involved in the Nanhua gold sale case back then, how could she jump out and shout for Zhao Yu to overturn the case?

Liu Mingyan ignored Lu Wenchi and continued: "Shen Xianyun said that he has worked hard to manage the counties of Qingzhou for 20 years, especially Nanhua Island, and has exhausted his efforts. I didn't want to provoke a popular uprising in the end, although I was frustrated, I didn't dare to slack off, and immediately made it clear to the household, but the household didn't care about the people's resentment boiling, and only replied hastily, and then ignored it. She felt that the matter was serious, and reported to the minister overnight, and the minister then forwarded it to Fuxingtai. Dare to ask Her Royal Highness Princess Qingyu, did the ministers report the civil uprising early, or did Lord Lu of the household report early?

Zhu Zhiling nodded and said: "The household department did not report the change of the people of Nanhua Island, and I only knew about it when the Nanjiang Governor's Mansion handed me a note. As soon as he had said that, his lips were tightly closed, and he refused to say a word more.

Lu Wenchi was already angry, pointed at Liu Mingyan and said loudly: "Shen Xianyun did report to the household department, but it was not as serious as what Governor Liu said, so I didn't care too much, if it was really a civil uprising, how could I not play?" ”

Liu Mingyan unhurriedly took out a booklet from her sleeve and said: "Is it a civil uprising, how serious is it, Shen Xianyun wrote clearly in the text table of the last play, and your Lord Lu's instructions on cherishing words like gold are also on it, please ask Your Majesty to verify it yourself." With that, he handed the sheet over his head.

Lu Wenchi wondered in his heart, why Shen Xianyun gave him a report in Liu Mingyan's hands.

Emperor Ming took it and browsed it, Lu Wenchi's understatement of the words "real investigation and strict handling" was very eye-catching, and the handwriting was sloppy, obviously absent-minded.

Lu Wenchi just wanted to defend himself, when suddenly the female official outside the palace came to report, "Her Royal Highness Princess Qingyang has arrived." I saw Zhu Zhitong combing her black pigtails and swaggering in, followed by a person, it was Su Xiaochen, a bachelor from Cangwu.

As soon as the two of them entered the hall, they noticed the tense posture in the hall and glanced at each other. Fortunately, Su Xiaochen is a good debater, and Zhu Zhitong is a smart person, since he came back from Nanhua Island, he knew that there would be today's events, and the two of them had rehearsed all the things that Emperor Ming might ask in the Huliang Pavilion in the past few days, so as to overturn the case for Zhao Yu and put Zhu Zhiling and Zhao Wuyun out of the matter, so they were already prepared.

When Emperor Ming saw Zhu Zhitong, he lowered his face and said, "You went to Nanhua Island?" ”

Zhu Zhitong stuck out her tongue and replied, "Daughter...... My daughter has been there, and my daughter knows it's wrong. ”

Emperor Ming looked displeased, pulled his daughter over, looked at it carefully for a while, and asked, "You have only been a few days, how did you become black and thin?" But this trip for your sister was too hard? ”

As soon as Zhu Zhitong heard her mother's words, she realized that she would no longer blame herself, and immediately smiled as if she had swallowed two Qingxin pills: "My daughter is fine, maybe it was the sea breeze blowing, but Nanhua Island is too scary, and my daughter has also encountered a fake demon beast!" It's good that it's Da Su...... Uh, Master Su saved her daughter. Mother queen, you see, isn't her daughter unharmed now? ”

"Fake monsters? Where the hell have you been? Why are there still monsters? Emperor Ming exclaimed, as soon as the words came out, he felt a little out of order under concern, cleared his throat, and said: "Xiao'er, let me ask you, what is going on with the people of Nanhua Island?" ”

"Master Su is eloquent, and the mother asked him to say yes?" Zhu Zhitong has returned to her usual hippie smile.

Zhu Yuxiao was already impatient on the side, looked at Su Xiaochen and said, "Chen'er, say it quickly." The eagerness is palpable.

After falling into Ying Lake, this was the first time Su Xiaochen heard Zhu Yuxiao speak, how many mysteries in his heart could not be solved, how many words could not be asked, and Yongjinmen was close at hand and could not be seen, I didn't expect to meet it today, and was called a little trance by Zhu Yuxiao's sentence "Chen'er", recalling a banquet in the Taishi's mansion that night, as if in another world.

"Dust?" Zhu Yuxiao was a little strange when she saw him stunned.

Yes, deal with the matter in front of me first, and I will definitely ask you and Uncle You about it in the future.

Su Xiaochen collected his thoughts, bowed to Emperor Ming, and said: "On the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, I accompanied Her Royal Highness Princess Qingyang to Nanhua Island to visit Moss Yu, and it happened that there was a civil uprising on the island. I heard that there was a monster reappearance in the mine, and the miners were afraid to enter the mine. Shen Xianyun, the prefect of Cheongju, forced the miners to enter the cave and killed a miner, which provoked a popular uprising. ”

Emperor Ming was puzzled: "This party also said that Shen Xianyun loves the people like a son, why did he kill a miner in a blink of an eye?" ”

Liu Mingyan replied: "Shen Xianyun really loves the people like a son, but she told the minister that she can't stand the tight mining schedule of the household department, and she doesn't dare to delay. It is precisely because of this incident that she has always felt guilty. Later, she said that she occasionally learned about the evidence that Wen Hegui and Lu Wenchi colluded and set a trap to frame Zhao Yu, so she wanted to go to arrest Wen Hegui in person, wanting to atone for his crimes. She also specially borrowed four warriors from the White Sand Battalion with me, and the result was ...... Outcome...... I didn't want Lord Lu to be on guard, so I actually instructed Wen and the noble general Shen Xianyun...... Killed! Also conspired against were four warriors from my Baisha camp, finally God had eyes, and one of them escaped by luck, and the minister also brought it today, if Your Majesty has any inquiries, this person can be a witness. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the guard behind him. I saw that the man was wearing a white robe and was tall, but just a few steps forward, he could see that he was injured and his legs and feet were a little unstable.

Emperor Ming stared between his eyebrows, his eyes were like torches, and he looked at the guard with the art of contemplation and asked, "You tell everything you see and hear word for word, if half of the word is not true, I will never spare it." ”

The guard hurriedly replied: "How dare the villain have half a lie to His Majesty. That day coincided with the villain and the other three brothers of the Baisha camp on duty, guarding the Cheongju Mansion. Suddenly, a miner came, carrying a package, saying that there was something very important to report, and the villain let him in. After a short time, Lord Shen, the prefect, called me and the other four to go in, saying that he would go to Wenfu to arrest the traitor who deceived the king, and hoped that I would make a good contribution, which would be a great achievement. Later, I followed Lord Shen to a tearoom in Wen's house, and Lord Shen said that he wanted to have a few words with Wen and Gui, so he asked me to wait outside the door. ”

Emperor Ming frowned and asked, "The traitor who deceived the king?" What did you hear later? ”

"The villain is far away, and he can't hear clearly, he only vaguely hears a few words, what's 'You still want to pretend to be deaf and dumb when you hear and your affairs, and the Nanhua gold case turned out to be a proud pen between you and Lord Lu.' …… What's more' I only took you to the governor of Southern Xinjiang, and she will send you to Fuxingtai! I have written all the reasons into a recital, and when the time comes, you and Lu Wenchi will not want to live'" Although the guard is only a few words, the content of it is enough to make people reverie.

Lu Wenchi's face turned pale when he heard it on the side, and he originally wanted to refute a few words, but every word of the attendant was like a heavy hammer on his head, and he heard that his hands and feet were cold, and there was only one thought in his mind: If you want to escape this disaster today, you should have known that you should have found someone to report to your father first.

While listening to what the attendant said, Emperor Ming looked at him with the technique of contemplating the mind, and saw that he had a sincere face, and there was no sign of lying. secretly said in his heart: It seems that what Liu Mingyan said is really true. But his face remained silent, and he commanded majestically: "Go on." ”

Later, Lord Shen argued with Wen Hegui for a few more words, and then called the villains to go in and arrest Wen Hegui. Na Wen Hegui pretended to be convinced, and when he asked the housekeeper to offer tea, he suddenly used a poisonous hand to stab Lord Shen to death from behind, and killed three brothers in my Baisha camp in a row. The villain was hit by a dart in the knee at that time, and he was lucky not to die. Afterward...... Later, the villain lay on the ground and saw two people jumping from the roof. As he spoke, he pointed to Zhu Zhitong and Su Xiaochen who were standing aside.
