Chapter 61: The Banquet Hall Turmoil

Bai Lijin knew that Lin Muzi was afraid that he would not be able to sleep because he was entangled in the murderer's affairs, and seeing her awkwardly caring about himself, he suddenly felt that it was not so important to find the murderer, anyway, his Muzi was fine, as for the arrow he received, after he recovered, he had time to settle accounts with the murderer. Thinking of this, he closed his eyes with peace of mind, and emptied his mind to prepare for rest.

"Sister Leng, I see there's a low couch here, you can send me a bed quilt later! I'm resting here tonight. Lin Muzi looked at Bai Lijin's calm breathing, and said softly to Leng Yinqiu.

The latter was a little puzzled: "Don't you live in the East Courtyard?" ”

"Although there is a medicine boy guarding me, I am still a little worried, after all, Bai Lijin was injured to save me, I am not worried about staying here." Lin Muzi looked at the person who was sleeping quietly on the bed and said, "I'm just such a master, if I accidentally don't save me, who will I learn from in the future!" ”

Leng Yinqiu, as a bystander, could naturally see that Lin Muzi cared about Bai Lijin's awkwardness, but she didn't break it, and left the room after letting her subordinates send the quilt over.

Palace.

After Prime Minister Lin Cheng led someone to catch the owner of the token in the tavern, he hurried back to the palace, and the banquet continued, but the air made people feel extremely oppressive.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lin Cheng has returned." The great eunuch walked in from outside the hall and whispered in Emperor Fengxu's ear.

The latter raised his eyebrows, "Arrange for the people on the field to go down and let Prime Minister Lin bring people in." ”

The chief eunuch clapped his palms in understanding, and the eunuchs and maids who were performing on the field and waiting on the side all exited the banquet hall in an orderly manner. The ministers looked at this and were a little puzzled, but no one had the courage to stand up and ask, and the field was quiet for a while.

"Your Majesty, why is this?" In the end, it was the old lady who stood up and wanted Emperor Feng Xu to ask.

The latter motioned for him to sit down first, "There's no reason, I just think today's banquet is too boring, and I want to show Zhong Aiqing other performances." ”

While everyone was still wondering, Prime Minister Lin Cheng and Imperial Doctor Leng had already walked in.

"Wechen see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Prime Minister Lin Cheng gave a rare gift to Emperor Fengxu, "Weichen has just left the table, and prepared a gift for the emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince, and I invite all colleagues to appreciate it together." ”

"What do I think the Prime Minister is doing when he suddenly leaves the table? I didn't expect to prepare gifts for the emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince! An official who thought he had a good relationship with Prime Minister Lin suddenly spoke.

Prime Minister Lin did not answer, but motioned for the great eunuch to go out and bring in the people he brought into the palace. When the big eunuch came in with people, the ministers on the field were quiet for a while, and then began to talk about it.

"The gift that Aiqing prepared for me is the former mighty general?" Emperor Fengxu looked at how he was tied up, and put on a look of 'I don't know anything', "It's just why did Aiqing tie him up?" ”

Prime Minister Lin glanced at He Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, and there was anger in his eyes that ordinary people couldn't see, "Your Majesty tonight."

In order to catch the wind and wash the dust for His Royal Highness the Prince, so a banquet was held in the palace, Weichen originally wanted Weichen's daughter Muzi to enter the palace today to catch up with His Royal Highness the Prince, but who would have thought that Muzi was attacked when he followed his master out in the morning, and was seriously injured and unconscious, and now he is still in the house of the cold imperial doctor, His Royal Highness the Prince loves Muzi very much, so let Wechen find out about this matter as soon as possible, just now Weichen suddenly left the table is this matter has eyebrows. "Prime Minister Lin Cheng didn't blink his eyes when he made it up, even if his words sounded a little problematic, no one on the field dared to interrupt him" Just now, the thieves attacked Leng Fu at night, and after being caught by Weichen, he was tortured to extract a confession, and then he caught the former mighty general. ”

"Oh!" Emperor Fengxu's voice sounded a little surprised: "And then?" ”

Prime Minister Lin then clapped his hands, and several guards came up with a man with his head covered.

"When Wechen went to arrest the former mighty general, he found that there was another person who was talking to the general very happily, Wechen listened carefully, this person and the general were actually plotting this assassination together." As he spoke, Prime Minister Lin ripped off the black cloth covering the man's head, looked at the side of the banquet hall and said, "Lord Xu, I don't know if you know what Ling Gongzi has been doing in recent days?" ”

When the named official was wondering why he mentioned himself, he saw that it was his only son who was standing there after Prime Minister Lin lifted the black cloth, and he panicked for a while, and quickly knelt down, "Weichen doesn't know!" Not long ago, Weichen's son said that he lost to Baili Gongzi in the Genting competition, and he felt that he was in a bad mood and wanted to go out for a walk and expand his horizons. I don't know anything else! Please ask the emperor to take a clear look. ”

Everyone on the field recognized that the person next to Prime Minister Lin Cheng was Xu Gongzi, the only son of Lord Xu, and no one stood up to speak for a while, only Lord Xu's voice echoed in the hall.

Emperor Fengxu frowned, glanced at Lord Xu unhappily, and then motioned for Prime Minister Lin to continue.

"It stands to reason that the matter of Xu Gongzi and General He's conspiring to assassinate the first prince and the prospective crown princess, Weichen only needs to be handed over to the criminal ministry level, and there is no need to bring it to this banquet hall." When he said this, Prime Minister Lin Cheng deliberately delayed his voice, "However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just returned from the envoy of the Baili Dynasty, and Wechen has found out the internal response of the Baili Dynasty, and Wechen feels that he should let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know for the first time, so as to widen the heart of the king and promote the prestige of our dynasty, Lord Xu, do you say yes?" ”

After listening to Prime Minister Lin's words, Lord Xu's body trembled even more like a sifting chaff, "Weichen.. Weichen doesn't understand what you're talking about, Prime Minister? ”

"Since Lord Xu is so confused, then I have to explain this matter clearly." Prime Minister Lin Cheng said with a look of pity, "Before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent an envoy to the Baili Dynasty, at the banquet held by the emperor, General He was dismissed from his post because of my family's Muzi who offended his beloved daughter; In the recent Yunding competition, Xu Gongzi only lost to Baili Gongzi in the competition, so he did not get the name of the first son. These two things made the two of them hold a grudge against Muzi and Baili Jin respectively. this

For a while, the two of them have been looking for an opportunity to start, but on weekdays, the imperial city is heavily guarded, and they are not easy to start at all, so today they took advantage of the opportunity for Muzi and Baili Jin to go out of the city, and they found a killer who wanted to kill people directly on the way out of the city. One is General He, who was dismissed and has a large family to support, and the other is Xu Gongzi, who can only dance and write, and the price they hired a killer is 1,000 taels of gold. Lin can't figure out where they got so much money? Therefore, at this time, our Lord Xu appeared, took out a thousand taels of gold from the money house, pretended not to know that Xu Gongzi was there, and buried it in the backyard of his house. It's just that I don't know, how did Lord Xu save this thousand taels of gold, and he can give it to his son just to repay his own selfish desires? Then Lin thought about it again, Lord Xu's father seemed to have moved from the Baili Dynasty to the Jun Dynasty, and Lin also specially checked it, and the name of Lord Xu's father was the same as the name of a deceased old minister of the Baili Dynasty! Lord Xu, is what Lin said the truth? What did Master Xu remember? ”

In fact, Emperor Fengxu always knew that among his courtiers was the internal response of the Baili Dynasty, but he couldn't find a handle, so he never said it, but just told Prime Minister Lin Cheng to pay attention to this aspect of the matter secretly. I didn't see Prime Minister Lin before I found out about Lord Xu taking a thousand taels of gold from the money village, and then traced it all the way under the instruction of Emperor Fengxu, but the thousand taels of gold suddenly disappeared, and Prime Minister Lin only thought that this clue had been broken. Today, I saw Xu Gongzi talking to He Qi in the tavern about this matter, and after catching someone, he interrogated a few words, and he made the matter clear. So I was just thinking about catching the murderer who wanted to kill Lin Muzi Bailijin, and then killing the chickens and monkeys at the banquet, so that Lord Xu didn't dare to act rashly, but I didn't expect that this matter was related to him.

Lord Xu saw that Prime Minister Lin Cheng had already explained the matter so clearly, and he also knew that all his things were probably exposed, and this life should be explained here, so he directly hit the pillar on the side, but was quickly stopped by the guards.

"I haven't finished talking about this yet, why is Lord Xu so excited!" Prime Minister Lin Cheng said and motioned to the guards next to him to suppress him, "Just now I just took some more people out and went to Lord Xu's house, Lord Xu guess what I found?" However, Lord Xu has always followed his father's last wish and has a close relationship with the old friends of the Baili Dynasty, even so close that he will tell many specific details of the Jun Dynasty! Master Xu, is there anything else you would like to add? ”

Lord Xu was pressed to his knees on the ground, and his eyes were no longer the same as before, "I have something to add, don't you know all about the Prime Minister?" I am the internal response of the Baili Dynasty, so what? Isn't it just death, do you think I'm going to be afraid! I thought about this ending when I first embarked on this road, but now it's just the time to come, you killed one of me, and there are thousands of me, Lin Zong, Lin Zong, you can't kill it, you will eventually lose to the calculation of the Baili Emperor! Hahahahahaha~~" Lord Xu laughed insolently as he spoke, and then fell down with blood in his mouth.

My lord, he bit his tongue and killed himself. The guards hurriedly checked Lord Xu on the ground, and then got up to report to Prime Minister Lin.

"Since you're dead, drag it down to the mass grave and feed the dogs!" Emperor Fengxu sat on top, looking at everything below, his face without waves. When Prime Minister Lin lifted the black cloth on Xu Gongzi's head, he knew the ending, but he never said anything, "Lord Xu deliberately damaged the national prestige of the Jun Dynasty and dismissed him for the internal response of the Baili Dynasty; His son and He Qi planned to murder the prospective crown princess and the first son, beheaded them at noon tomorrow, and threw their bodies into the mass grave to feed the dogs; As for the rest of the people in the Xu Mansion and the He Mansion, men over the age of 16 were sent to northern Xinjiang and were never allowed to return to Beijing, and men under the age of 16 and all female dependents were enslaved in the official government. ”

"The emperor is wise!" When the ministers saw Emperor Fengxu announce the final result, they all knelt down and said in unison.

Tonight's banquet should have ended, Emperor Fengxu just followed Prime Minister Lin Cheng's wishes to drag on the banquet until now, the matter has been resolved, and he doesn't want to stay in this banquet hall anymore, "That's it here tonight, let's disperse!" ”
