Chapter 116: Reversal does not turn, chaos is chaotic
Wang's body was weak, and he collapsed directly on the ground, his face bloodless.
Seeing that the situation was not good, King Beiheng immediately said angrily: "You wicked woman, you are actually a fool. Come on, drag her down! ”
"Wait!" Du Pingfei immediately spoke out to stop him, "King Beiheng, it's just a woman who has no power to restrain a chicken, why do you want to kill them all?" Why don't you let her finish talking? ”
How could the king of Beiheng not see her intentions?
Now, it is clear that someone deliberately provoked a dispute between the two stable women, which will give people an opportunity to take advantage of.
Although it is just a simple answer, the people sitting here are all human spirits, and they naturally understand the meaning.
Therefore, he could only look at all kinds of eyes, but he pretended not to care and said: "Queen Mother, such a cunning villain, his speech is also inconsistent, it is really insulting." It deserves to be killed! ”
Du Pingfei glanced at him, and said in a cold tone: "King Beiheng, wouldn't it be better to wait until she finishes what she needs to say before deciding what to do?" You're so anxious, it's easy to make people think too much! ”
"That's right. It's just a stable woman. I just said that I don't want to be a soldier, why has it changed now? Xie Fenghua also fell into the well.
Their eyes met in mid-air, but they looked away in tacit understanding.
King Beiheng wanted to say something, but he saw Du Pingfei walk up to the two stable women, and asked first: "Wang, have you thought clearly?" If you tell the person behind your back now, you might be able to save your life. If you don't say it, you'll soon be on the ground. ”
"No, don't kill me, don't kill me......" Wang fell to the ground, tears flowed, and pointed at Jing Zhaoyin and said, "It's him, it's him who made me lie." If I don't say it, he's going to kill my family. ”
Jing Zhaoyin immediately said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! How could this official have said that? ”
As if he knew Du Pingfei's target, he turned around, kowtowed to the old prince on the seat, and said indignantly: "Please make the decision for the lower officials!" The lower officials are loyal to the court and the emperor, how can these untouchables be allowed to slander wantonly? ”
"The person who accused Jiang Yu of murder is you; The person who took out the witness with his own hand, but was sued by the witness, is also you. Lord Jing Zhaoyin, you can't just want to get away with the situation just because the situation is not in your favor, right? Xie Fenghua saw the stitches and said.
Jing Zhaoyin stared at her like a cannibal, and said coldly: "Commander of Dingbei, you are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic......
Xie Fenghua took a sip of wine and looked innocent, "This Grand Commander is just telling the truth......
"You ......" Jing Zhaoyin thought of this person's ability, and was suddenly silent.
He didn't look over his head and didn't look at Xie Fenghua again.
He was afraid that if he looked at it more, he couldn't help but rush up and tear her face to shreds.
And Du Pingfei had no intention of paying attention to their dispute, and did not take advantage of the situation to ask the Wang family, but instead asked other trembling people, "What about you?" And what does that mean? ”
Those people are still hesitating.
Seeing this, Xie Fenghua added another dose of fierce medicine, and said coldly: "You have to think clearly, this crime of bullying the king will be killed." ”
She deliberately lowered her voice and fell into everyone's ears, but she could feel the murderous aura contained in it.
Those people were already psychologically fragile, and at this moment, they were so intimidated by her, so they also spoke out.
It was at this moment that everyone knew what a thief was shouting to catch a thief, and the eyes that looked at Jing Zhaoyin were full of sarcasm.
Jing Zhaoyin lay on the ground, and a sense of despair arose in his heart.
He didn't understand why it had become like this, when it was so well arranged?
At this time, he didn't dare to ask King Beiheng for help.
As soon as things came to this, King Beiheng might have a grudge against him in his heart. Second, there are so many people staring at his movements, if someone thinks of something, it's not as simple as losing his head.
Seeing this, Xie Fenghua had a trace of pity in his eyes.
But seeing the cunning in her eyes, her lazy and casual voice sounded, "This Great Commander thinks that Jing Zhaoyin shouldn't have the courage to instruct these people to make such a big mistake, right?" ”
Everyone was stunned, not understanding why she suddenly spoke for Jing Zhaoyin.
Du Pingfei was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and his eyes were full of conspiracy and calculation, "Jing Zhaoyin, is this the case?" ”
Jing Zhaoyin was already so frightened that he lost his three souls and seven spirits, and suddenly found that there was a reversal, and his face was quite incredulous.
Following the voice to look up, he saw Du Pingfei's clear eyes, and actually nodded in a ghostly manner, "Yes, yes, that's true." Xia Guan would definitely not do such a crazy thing! Please also ask the queen to take a look. ”
Du Pingfei smiled, "This palace also thinks that you won't do this." Presumably, he was also instructed by others. As long as you confess the person behind you, then the palace can open the net. ”
King Beiheng almost crushed a mouthful of white teeth.
It turned out that they were waiting here!
But if they think that they will be able to get their wish, they are very wrong.
He suddenly had an idea in his heart, and then said: "Jing Zhaoyin, this matter is very important, if you know anything, you must bring it truthfully." Otherwise, if you have wronged a good person, it is not right to be a courtier. ”
Jing Zhaoyin was still a little shaken, but when he heard this, his body stiffened fiercely, and his heart struggled incomparably.
This is a naked threat!
But people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and he can't find a reason to resist!
Thinking so, he closed his eyes in despair and said no more.
Seeing this, Du Pingfei pointed out: "Jing Zhaoyin, tell the person who instructed you, and atone for your sins, so that you can have a glimmer of life." ”
The faint tone was full of threats and warnings.
Jing Zhaoyin seemed to have made up his mind, and pressed his forehead against the ground and said, "Queen Mother, in a hurry just now, the lower official lied. In fact, there was no one to instruct the subordinates. Everything is because of the lower official lard. The subordinate knew that he was guilty, and he did not dare to defend himself, and was willing to accept the punishment. ”
As everyone knows, when he said this, King Beiheng's father and son suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
But Du Pingfei's face was gloomy, "Have you made up your mind to sacrifice yourself for irrelevant people?" ”
No matter what she said, Kyung Zhao Yin felt like she was dead, without any explanation.
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was deadlocked.
Xie Fenghua sighed secretly, if she didn't want to fall short, she wouldn't want to help Du Pingfei again and again. But at the moment, this situation is extremely tricky, Jing Zhaoyin bit him to death by himself, and no one can do anything about him.
It seems that she still needs to take action.
Thinking of this, she put down the wine glass in her hand and suddenly said, "Although Jing Zhaoyin has already admitted that these subordinates of the Li Mansion went to the palace today to testify that they were instructed by him. But it doesn't seem that simple. If you want to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, you only need to find out the people who have been in contact with him in the past few days, and then follow the vine, maybe you will have a clue? ”
When these words fell into Jing Zhaoyin's ears, it was tantamount to a life-urging charm.
He has accepted his fate, but if he is ambushed, maybe he can keep the family safe and sound. If the civil and military officials know that this matter has something to do with the Beiheng Palace, I am afraid that this catastrophe will not be able to escape.
Yes, no matter what, he must come out and carry this pot, "Commander of Dingbei, I have no grievances with you, why are you targeting me like this?" I will take this matter alone, and I ask you not to involve innocent people. ”
Xie Fenghua snorted coldly: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, you can't afford it alone." My people once saw Jing Zhaoyin talking very closely with Tang Shizi in the alley in the backyard of the Li Mansion, and the time happened to be on the day of the accident in the Li Mansion, which is too much of a coincidence, right? Tang Shizi, don't you want to explain something? ”
Tang Mengqian's heart tightened, and then he said: "Commander of Dingbei, what you said is extremely funny. You say, this prince and Jing Zhaoyin have met in private, but someone has seen it? ”
Xie Fenghua pursed his lips, his eyes darkened.
With such a determined look, it is really leaky. Unfortunately, when each other is well prepared, it is particularly important to know oneself and each other.
Thinking of what Changying mentioned, she didn't answer directly, but asked Du Pingfei, "Queen Mother, what do you think?" ”
Du Pingfei said with a smile: "This palace is also willing to believe in Tang Shizi's innocence. Unfortunately, when I was listening to the opera not long ago, I happened to hear such an opera, and I thought it was quite suitable for you. ”
Everyone was stunned, not understanding why her topic had changed so quickly.
And Tang Mengqian was beating a drum in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak nonsense, but the fear and panic in the depths of his eyes revealed his thoughts at the moment.
After a while, Xiao Yao walked in with a pair of men and women, and after saluting Du Ping, he stopped talking.
Du Pingfei glanced at the two of them, and then said, "What do you all know?" Speak up. ”
"Yes." The man and woman hurriedly responded, and then opened their mouths to speak.
As soon as they heard the voices of the two of them, the faces of the people in the Frost Cloud Hall changed greatly. But when they heard the content of the conversation, everyone was as white as paper, and they wanted to disappear from here immediately.
People who know too much often don't live long!
Why did they come to suffer this sin?
Xie Fenghua listened, his thoughts were a little trance. In a trance, I remembered her conversation with Yuan Minzhou in the morning.
“…… Is today's thing really okay? ”
"There will be no problem. Although I just intervened, the person who really contributed was Queen Du, even if it was for Xiao Yao's hard work for several days, she would not allow any mistakes in this play. ”
Now it seems that this woman still wishes that they had made a mistake, and then grabbed the handle and took advantage of the situation to strike!
When they came back to their senses, the dialogue between men and women in the hall had ended, but everyone was as quiet as quails, and they had not yet woken up from those conversations.
And the faces of King Beiheng's father and son were not much better, but when they looked at the pair of men and women, they had an unconcealable murderous aura.
With just one glance, Xie Fenghua knew that this must be Tang Mengqian and Jing Zhaoyin's private actions. But Du Pingfei would have such a move, and he simply and rudely slapped the face of Beiheng Wangfu, and I have to say that he was very relieved.
She raised her eyes to look, but saw Du Pingfei standing gracefully, with the phoenix robe showing majesty on her body, and forcibly suppressed the coquettishness between her eyebrows and eyes a little.
Xu was very satisfied with this result, his lips were slightly hooked, and his eyes were full of color.
Honestly, femme fatale!
After a while, Du Pingfei looked at Tang Mengqian and asked, "Tang Shizi, how is this play?" ”
"It's good, it's a pity that it's fabricated out of thin air and can't be on the stage." After the initial shock, Tang Mengqian also calmed down, and he would not be stupid enough to admit such a thing.
He insisted on one thing - although he didn't know how Du Pingfei knew about these conversations, he was sure that there was no definite witness, even if the emperor was awake, he couldn't do anything with him.
As for those conversations, they can only be regarded as rumors.
It's a pity that he underestimated Du Pingfei's patience and ability.
Xu had already thought of his reaction, Du Pingfei actually laughed, and said lightly: "Tang Shizi is really hard-mouthed. Unfortunately, sometimes a stubborn mouth can't solve the problem. ”
"What advice does the queen have for you?" Tang Mengqian had a fire in his heart, but because of Du Pingfei's identity, his words and deeds were suspicious.
It's just that in just a few words, the emotions that have been suppressed by him are on the verge of exploding.
Du Pingfei shook his head and sighed with a smile, but asked the King of Beiheng on the side, "The prince also thinks so?" ”
King Beiheng's face turned dark, and he said in an unkind tone: "Queen Mother, what is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime?" Why don't you leave it at that? Otherwise, if it is verified in the end, it will be a misunderstanding, and won't it hurt the harmony of the monarch and ministers? Presumably, the emperor doesn't want to see such a result, right? ”
But Zhao Pei was moved out!
But since Du Pingfei had made up his mind to target them, he naturally would not be stopped by the threat, so he only said: "King Beiheng's words are wrong. If the emperor is awake, he must not want the monarch and his ministers to be suspicious. Therefore, if you can explain it clearly, you naturally have to say it clearly. ”
As she spoke, she gave Xiao Yao a look, and the next moment, she saw Xiao Yao take out a booklet from her arms and hand it to her.
She flipped it over casually, squinted at the father and son, and sneered: "Since King Beiheng is thinking about the relationship between monarchs and ministers, then it is not too much for this palace to do this. You might as well take a good look at this thing. ”
After speaking, she threw it casually, and it happened to be thrown in front of Tang Mengqian.
He reached out and took it, and when he saw the contents, his hands shook, and the book fell on the table.
"No, it'......s impossible," he muttered, and then seemed to react suddenly, and then got up and pointed at Du Pingfei and shouted angrily, "Queen Mother, you are really unscrupulous......
Du Pingfei smiled and said coldly: "Tang Shizi must not be angry. Although this is a private court, it must also be kept quiet. I showed you what I just showed, I think you are also satisfied, but I don't know if you are willing to confess? ”
Tang Mengqian clenched his fists, and a vicious breath erupted.
At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten their respective identities, and looked at them from a short distance, struggling in his heart.
King Beiheng was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly walked to his side, stretched out his hand to take the booklet, but he avoided it, and couldn't help but whisper: "What are you doing?" This matter has nothing to do with us, if you have anything to say, you can just say it, why bother with it? ”
Tang Mengqian really has bitterness and can't say it.
He also wants things to be simple. But on this booklet, there is no omission to record the various actions of the Beiheng Palace's private affairs.
If you spread it casually, then everything you did before will be in vain.
He never thought that Du Pingfei would dare to make such a threatening move in front of everyone.
The plan for the present is to bring these things down.
Judging from Du Pingfei's expression, even if they want to press it down, they will have to pay the price.
For a while, he felt that the booklet in his hand was extremely hot, but he had to hold it, and he was even more afraid of being seen by others. After the short blank in his head, he also understood the pros and cons, gritted his teeth and said: "Queen Mother, if it is not my crime, I will not admit it." But since it is all for the sake of the country, I am also willing to support from the side, so as to find out the truth as soon as possible. ”
Is this a disguised expression of willingness to cooperate with the interrogation?
Upon hearing this information, everyone else looked at each other and became more and more curious about the booklet that had come out of nowhere.
You don't have to think about it to know that it is not an ordinary thing, otherwise Tang Mengqian would not have made such a concession.
Yes, everyone, including Xie Fenghua, was very curious about what was written in that booklet.
And King Beiheng was already dumbfounded, so he barely grabbed his ear and asked, "What are you doing here?" This is the court, and there is an old prince in charge, what can't be said directly? It has to be ...... like this."
Tang Mengqian cried in his heart, but he couldn't talk about the things in the booklet in person, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Father, the sons and ministers have their own proportions. You can rest assured. ”
After speaking, he looked at Du Pingfei again and asked, "Queen Mother, when will it start?" ”
"Right now." Du Pingfei gave Xiao Yao a look, then glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, and said in a majestic voice, "Today's matter has been decided. Tang Shizi is willing to cooperate with the interrogation of the Criminal Department, and the others will go back to their respective homes. But there is one thing you have to remember. Nothing that is heard here today is allowed to be said lightly. Otherwise, this palace will never be spared! ”
"Yes......" the men hurriedly said in fear.
After that, it receded like a tidal wave.
And Xiao Yao also walked to Tang Mengqian's side and said coldly: "Tang Shizi, please let the servants escort you to the Criminal Department." ”
Tang Mengqian squinted at him, then gave King Beiheng a slightly calm look, then held his head high and strode out.
For a moment, the hall suddenly fell silent.
As if he didn't notice everyone's gaze, Du Pingfei slowly turned around and said to the old prince: "Let the emperor laugh." ”
The old prince just nodded, still sitting on Mount Tai.
He knew that pushing him out at first was just a desperate move. When he saw Du Ping flying out to speak, he knew that the so-called "harem can't interfere in politics" was just an excuse.
This queen, at a young age, is a good means to play.
Thinking of the emperor's situation, he was a little calmer in his heart, and he didn't think that Du Pingfei's strength was a bad thing, so he didn't pursue these details.
And apart from him, there is no one in this temple who is qualified to pursue it.
Du Ping flew around without a trace, and finally fell on Jing Zhaoyin's body, and said coldly: "Come on, put this vicious person into the prison and wait for interrogation." ”
The Imperial Forest Army immediately walked in, grabbed Jing Zhaoyin's arms on the left and right, and was about to walk out.
"Wait!" But he didn't want to, King Beiheng opened his mouth to stop it, "Queen, the harem can't interfere in politics." You want to send down the court officials, it seems that you have exceeded the rules, right? ”
Du Pingfei sneered, "Does King Beiheng think that this palace does not have this right?" ”
"Exactly." King Beiheng nodded, his eyes gloomy, "As far as the minister knows, there are ancestral rules in the past, and it is clear that the harem cannot interfere in politics. Later, the queen was suspected of bullying the monarch, and it was even more inappropriate to meddle in the affairs of the court. ”
The smile on the corner of Du Pingfei's mouth became stronger and stronger, and in the end, he laughed irrepressibly.
It's just that the cold light in those eyes instantly dispelled all the smiles floating on the surface.
As if she had heard some joke, she stopped laughing for a while, and then asked, "King Beiheng, even if Tang Shizi is imprisoned, you can't splash dirty water on this palace, right?" Where does this crime of deceitful begin? ”
King Beiheng seemed to be waiting for her words, and when he heard this, he said: "What did the queen do, don't you know in your heart?" Why do you need to be reminded by others, you lose face? ”
This is not the attitude that a courtier should have towards the queen of the dynasty.
But Du Pingfei didn't seem to want to pursue this, but grabbed his sentence of "bullying the king", and said in a cold tone: "King Beiheng, you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense." Casually accusing the queen of a dynasty, do you know what the crime is? ”
"Since the minister dares to say so, there is naturally evidence." King Beiheng simply let go, and his tone was very unpolite, "The queen sang the play for so long just now, she must be tired, so it is better to listen to the minister's play." ”
As he spoke, he whispered something to the eunuch beside him, and saw the eunuch walk out quickly, and after a while he turned back, followed by a trembling man.
- It was the disappeared Li Xiang.
King Beiheng pointed at Li Xiang and said, "Queen Mother, can you recognize this person?" ”
"King Beiheng, who do you think of this palace? Any cat or dog can enter the eyes of this palace? Du Pingfei's face sank, and his eyes were as deep as an abyss.
King Beiheng thought that she was weak-hearted, and couldn't wait to say: "Since the queen said that she doesn't know, then let the minister tell you." This person is the son of Imperial Physician Li, who was killed not long ago, and he was also secretly hunted down. If it weren't for fate, he would already be a wisp of unjust soul in hell at this moment. ”
"So what?" Du Pingfei's smile was still the same, but a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
Sure enough, King Beiheng stared at her with burning eyes and asked, "Does the queen know why he was chased by the murderer?" Who instigated those murderers? ”
Du Pingfei sneered, and his tone was warning, "Could it be that King Beiheng knows?" ”
As if he didn't notice her warning, King Beiheng pointed at Li Xiang, his face sinking like water, "Speaking of which, the murder of the Li Mansion is really inseparable from the queen mother." Queen Mother, what is the purpose of you ordering someone to hunt down and kill Imperial Doctor Li's son? ”
Du Pingfei's face changed, and he shouted on the spot, "It's just nonsense!" King Beiheng, in front of everyone's eyes, you maliciously slandered this palace and had ill intentions......"
"Queen! If the minister has ill intentions, then what are you? King Beiheng took out a handful of herbs from his sleeve, his face was gloomy like a hellish bloodthirsty Shura, and the Zhijiao people shuddered.
