How many royal family members have been killed by witchcraft since ancient times, and it is the last thing Zhongzong wants to mention, Lu Jue actually wants to use this case to hit himself, it is undoubtedly a tooth extraction from the tiger's mouth! Compared with the threat of the majesty of the royal family, there is nothing more taboo for Zhongzong.

As he intended, this step seemed to be the right one, Zhongzong's face obviously became ugly, and his gaze when he looked at Lu Jue was no longer kind. In a cold tone, he said: "Zhu Yu, as the eldest prince, does not lead by example, but uses witchcraft to cause trouble to the dynasty, and I personally interrogated him one by one and confessed. I thought about the relationship between father and son, but I removed him from the position of prince, so that he thought about it behind closed doors, I never said that I wanted his life, it was he who was ashamed of Taizu Taizong, ashamed of me to apologize for his crimes, and why did he have any grievances and overturn the case! In anger, he grabbed the teacup on the table in front of him and threw it on the ground.

The teacup fell at Lu Jue's feet and shattered into pieces.

When the disaster fell, there were few charcoal in the snow, and there were many stones falling into the well. Zhongzong's attitude towards Lu Jue at this time can also show the attitude of the entire court officials towards him, and a few people added fuel and vinegar, although they did not talk loudly, but they were loud.

Lu Jue stared down at the fragments under his feet, and finally understood what the human heart was, and let him decide certain things.

"Your Majesty, please allow the old minister to say a word." When it's unfair, there will always be a few people who speak up, what is South Korea here for, not to see the excitement, this is the time for him to stand up.

When he saw these people early this morning, Zhongzong understood how to solve this matter, but he was unwilling after all, he was the emperor's imperial power that no one could despise! He squinted at King Luo, who was speechless, suppressed his anger and didn't speak, just waved his hand and agreed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The enemy was very red when he saw him, not to mention that the murderer who killed his son was still at large, and he was even more resentful when he looked at this enemy. Old Marquis Han's irrepressible anger stained his eyes red, and he stared at Zheng Yunlin and said, "You keep accusing Lu Siqing of overstepping your duties and seizing power, but what did you do just now." Regardless of whether Lu Siqing wants to review the witch Gu case or not, it is an internal matter of Dali Temple, how did you know that you are the secretary of the Criminal Department? ”

Zheng Yunlin smiled and said a little arrogantly: "If people don't know, they can't do it unless they do!" ”

"Then this sentence is very suitable for Lord Zheng."

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of chanting: "The eldest princess of Anyang is here." ”

Zhu Yunqin walked in surrounded by the forbidden army, glared at him viciously when he arrived at Zheng Yunlin, flicked his sleeves and came to the center of the main hall, knelt down and saluted: "Yunqin see my father, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

This set is first Han Hou, and then the eldest princess with privileges, and everyone understands what Lu Jue means. Now everyone is beginning to remember what his identity is, and it is destined that someone will be in trouble on this day.

Lu Jue exhaled heavily, and his eyebrows and eyes were slightly relaxed.

King Luo turned his head sideways and smiled faintly, the meaning was very deep.

Zheng Yunlin frowned and sighed, his thoughts complicated.

There is also one person, Zhu Xian, who is also nervous.

The most complicated mood was Zhongzong, he clenched his fists on his thighs, waved his hand with a calm face, and said, "Flat." ”

"Thank you, Father." Without waiting for Zhongzong to ask, Zhu Yunqin turned his height and said, "Escort people up." ”

Just as he was surprised, a burly young man as tall as a small tower escorted a trembling young man in. Both knelt down and worshiped the mountain and shouted: "The young general Yao Minghao sees Your Majesty." ”

The other trembled and said, "Sin, sin, sinner, Zheng Yinglong see Your Majesty." "The whole body fell to the ground and trembled like a sieve.

This person is simply a dou who can't be helped, since he can't help it, it's better to give it up, "Zheng Yunlin, you are really my good minister!" Zhongzong roared angrily and stood up with a slap on the table.

This roar made Zheng Yunlin come to his senses, and he quickly knelt down and said, "The minister is guilty." At this time, he also remembered what Lu Jue was talking about.

Zhu Yunqin walked up to Zheng Yunlin, looked at him condescendingly, pointed to Zheng Yinglong, who was kneeling beside him, and said angrily: "Lord Zheng, this person should be imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple waiting to be beheaded. How did you get to your house? ”

King Luo asked unhurriedly: "There is no prince and princess born, so there is no amnesty for the world, and naturally it is not a holy decree of forgiveness!" ”

Although the voice was not loud, it still made Zheng Yinglong tremble, and looked at Zheng Yunlin with fear in his eyes and begged for help: "Dad save me, dad save the child!" ”

King Luo glanced at the two of them lightly, and said: "Dali Temple is heavily guarded, even if Lu Siqing is not in charge of Dali Temple in Fudali Temple during his illness." With just those guards in your house, how can you rob Zheng Yinglong out safely and unharmed, is there any helper. Let's tell you the truth, maybe Your Majesty will be gracious and lenient. ”

This question made several people uncomfortable, Zhongzong squinted at King Luo, and then looked at Zhu Xian who was standing in the middle of the court, although there was no expression on his face, his heart was surging.

Zhu Xian, who was standing in the crowd, also trembled obviously, saying that he did not regret it was false, if Zheng Yunlin confessed himself, his fate would definitely be worse than that of King Jin, he lowered his head and did not dare not listen or look, at this time he could only resign himself to fate.

Zheng Yunlin, who was kneeling on the ground at this time, could no longer understand that even if he confessed to Zhu Xian now, he might not be able to retreat with his whole body. Maybe he's still holding out hope, thinking he's still capable of escaping this! He also clearly knew that after confessing to Zhu Xian, except for solving one more opponent for Lu Jue, he would not get any benefits at all.

He bowed to Zhongzong, and actually took the charge into his own body and said: "The criminal minister saved his son with a crooked heart, and spent two silver taels to recruit several masters of the rivers and lakes, and took advantage of Lu Jue's illness to relax in the defense of Dali Temple in Fudali, so he chose to take a risk. He finally understood now why Zhu Xian's subordinates alone could save his son unscathed, but he also understood that it was too late to know everything now.

Zhongzong smiled, and pointed at him with a gloomy face: "At the beginning, I saw that you were meritorious in the court, so I only punished your son for the sin. The forward in front of the formation not only escaped from the battle, but also betrayed the military report, which led to the rout of the whole army, and the long horse was killed in battle, and it is not an exaggeration to immediately Ling Zheng Yinglong! But you know that you have to go against the law but you still have to go retrograde, you are not afraid of punishing your nine clans! ”

"It is difficult to escape the blame for the guilt of the minister, and he is willing to accept the guilt." Saying that, he pointed at Lu Jue, with an uncontrollable anger flashing in his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said: "But he, Lu Jue, should also be guilty of the same crime as the minister, without the holy decree, he will privately remove the person who assassinated the emperor, this move is equivalent to robbing the prison, if His Majesty convicts Lu Jue, the guilty minister will die." ”

He wants to die with Lu Jue, he is now in a catastrophe It is better to bite Lu Jue to death, if it can really be tried, it is not necessarily who has gone and no return based on the witch Gu case alone.

What are the coincidental appearances of Han Hou, King Luo, and the eldest princess, who doesn't understand the reason. At this time, even if you can take the opportunity to get rid of Lu Jue, you must not make a move, and you don't have to weigh who is light and who is heavy.

Zhongzong closed his eyes, sighed and sighed, and then sighed and said: "Zheng Yunlin, for the sake of your meritorious deeds for several generations, as long as you accept the guilt, I will exempt you from the capital crime of the nine clans." ”

How could Zheng Yunlin be willing, and still persistently said: "As long as Your Majesty cures Lu Jue's crimes, the ministers and the nine clans are willing to die." "He'd rather trade the life of his whole people for the life of that one.

"It's already this time that you're still obsessed." Zhongzong couldn't hide his anger, and without waiting for the words to finish, he swept all the things on the table to the ground with a wave of his arms.

The crowd knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty is angry." ”

Zhongzong suppressed his anger, sat down and said, "Flat." ”

Everyone said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Lu Jue stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, although this matter is not the fault of the minister, after all, it is caused by the minister, and the minister will receive the punishment by himself afterwards." ”

Zhongzong snorted, and said with a reluctant smile: "If these courtiers of mine are all like you, my country will be easier to manage." ”

What do you mean, it seems that this matter is really going to be over, Zheng Yunlin said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Lu Jue 、、、、、、"

Zhongzong roared angrily and stopped: "Shut up, I don't want to listen to you." ”

Lu Jue persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, it happened too suddenly, maybe Lord Shangshu hasn't come back to his senses yet!" Please ask Your Majesty to persuade Lord Zheng a few words, maybe Lord Zheng will not be so persistent. ”

Zhongzong glanced at each of them, saw through the plan, and agreed without saying a word.

"Commandment." After Lu Jue thanked him again, he walked up to Zheng Yunlin and arched his hand: "Xiaguan has seen Lord Zheng. ”

Zheng Yunlin glared at him and said, "Now that you have your wish, you should be satisfied with my ending like this!" But you have to remember that the heavens are clear, and your retribution is only a matter of time! ”

Lu Jue slowly squatted down, looked directly at him, and said with a sudden smile: "Lord Shangshu will also believe in heavenly retribution, if there is really heavenly reason, where will there be so many great traitors and evildoers, and there will be no need for the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department and various law enforcement departments." ”

Zheng Yunlin looked hateful, gritted his teeth and said: "How can there be, what is it, what is it, does anyone dare to admit that it is the first to pick up the harmful Lord Siqing!" ”

Lu Jue snorted lightly, supported his knees with one hand, leaned forward slightly and said coldly: "Now in this world, good people don't live long, disasters will last for thousands of years, and the sky will not have long eyes!" Master Zheng knows this better than me. ”

Zheng Yunlin held back the churning in his chest, and his snort became rougher: "You are not small, you dare to want Your Majesty to try the witch Gu case again, so as to achieve the goal of rehabilitating King Jin?" But if it does go to trial, it is not certain who will win or lose. Half and half chances, as long as I can fight you down, that's what I'm for. ”

Lu Jue sneered: "You try your best to do your best for him, but he wants to abandon his pawn to protect the handsome, is this also the result you want." ”

How did Zheng Yunlin not know what kind of outcome he would have, he avoided Lu Jue's gaze, and still maintained his insistence on his face: "The winner is the king and the loser, in the royal family, between brothers, no one will back down for that only right." I won't end well, and so will you! ”

Lu Jue didn't give him a chance to clean up his master, and said bluntly: "In the partisan dispute, the person who Lord Zheng works for should not be the King of Qi. Because you know how many pounds and taels he has, and with your wisdom, you will never do anything useless. ”

Zheng Yunlin was just about to say something when he was stunned back by this sentence, his eyes trembled, and he turned his head and stopped paying attention to it and stopped saying a word.

Lu Jue looked sideways at Zhongzong, smiled and continued: "He doesn't take your family's life seriously, but the lower officials don't want to see you survive without a single person." In this way, if you give me what I want, I will show Master Zheng a way to live, how about it? A leisurely smile hung on his calm face, as if everything was under his control, and that kind of confidence was terrifying.

Zheng Yunlin sneered, looked at Lu Jue with a smile and said: "Self-confidence is a good thing, but being too confident is called arrogance, and you still don't know what kind of situation you are going to face." Young man! If you admit defeat earlier, you won't die worse."

Lu Jue said lightly: "It seems that at this time, you still have hope for him?" ”

Zheng Yunlin glanced at him, raised his arrogant head and said, "Let's go and see!" Your Majesty clenched his hands into fists and was about to speak.

It seems that he still has a compassionate heart! Lu Jue glanced at him and said, "If I were you, I would choose to shut up obediently and dispel the idea of the fish dying and the net being broken, and it is me who is dying step by step!" ”

Zheng Yunlin smiled and snorted coldly: "Don't be too confident, you have been an official for a few years, you don't know what kind of temperament our emperor is." As long as there is that knot in the saint's heart, you will be the end of King Jin after all. ”

Lu Jue said: "You can't see if I will end up like King Jin in this situation, what's the use of saying these cursed words." Let's say something direct, you let Yang Shuxiao blow the wind in my ears from time to time, and sent him to send the file of the witch Gu case to me, in addition to using him as a pawn to restrain me, what I want to do most should be to save your son, although this is a dangerous move, at least there is still some certainty! ”

Zheng Yunlin sighed and said, "That's right, you are indeed a lot smarter than King Jin." Thousands of calculations, I just didn't calculate, your identity is doubtful, why does the eldest princess have no objection at all, and will treat you so wholeheartedly! Blood and family affection, hum, if the royal family has it, how can King Jin die in vain. ”

"Lord Zheng also thinks that King Jin is wronged."

"It doesn't matter if I say it's wronged, the emperor believes it, no wonder anyone!"

Lao Tzu calculates his son, his son calculates Lao Tzu, this is father and son, this is blood, who takes this blood thicker than water seriously! Hmph, Lu Jue lowered his head and smiled, the laughter was so pathetic, suddenly he raised his head suddenly, grabbed his hand, leaned forward and stared at him coldly: "No wonder who wants me to help you reminisce about your memories?" The night before King Jin killed himself ten years ago, did you look for him? You know what you told him, and I understand that if you have ears on the wall, you don't have to act in front of you! ”

How did he know about such a hidden thing, whether it was really as he said, whether it was a wall with ears, whether it was true or a lie. Zheng Yunlin thought uneasily in his heart, met Lu Jue's cold gaze, the whole person felt very uncomfortable, and instinctively wanted to distance himself from him, but who knew that this weak scholar had a lot of strength, and he couldn't break free at all. He lowered his head to avoid his gaze, gritted his teeth and said: "This official is the chief judge to see him, he is ashamed of the emperor to kill himself, and this official has a clear conscience." ”

Lu Jue smiled gloomily and said, "What a clear conscience, Zheng Yunlin, at this time, do you still treat me as that ignorant teenager?" If you think that saying this will convince you, you are very wrong. You know what you've done yourself, don't pretend to be confused with me! Let's talk about it, apart from the witch case, what else do you have planned? ”

"Hmph, Lu Jue, after all, I underestimated you"

"Don't talk about those useless things, what are you going to do next?" Lu Jue continued to maintain his patience and asked again.

Seeing that he was gradually losing patience, Zheng Yunlin lost the anxiety just now, smiled slightly, and said in a brisk tone: "I have nothing to say." ”

"Okay, very good, it seems that you have made up your mind to exchange the life of your nine clans for my life, this deal is good or I have earned it." Lu Jue raised his hand to straighten his crooked official hat for him, and said coldly: "It's not that I want to be a villain, it's someone who forced me to make me unable to be a good person." Empress Xiaoxian, King Jin, and Han Qi have several lives for you to participate in, but when they die, you want to have children and grandchildren and a rich life! What you have forgotten, as the prince of Great Qi, I need to remind you. Leaning forward slightly, he leaned forward and approached his ear, and said lightly: "Do you want me to report your son's escape route to the emperor!" ”

Zheng Yunlin looked at Lu Jue as if he was looking at a monster, and everything was understandable. His whole body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes breathed fire, and his hands clenched together, trying to control not to pounce on him. I could only grit my teeth and gasp angrily: "I'm still wondering why my son was arrested on Han Qi's death day so coincidentally after so many years of safety and sound?" It turns out that 、、、、、、, I think I am airtight, how do you know that if the wall has ears, you won't believe it so easily? ”

"If you look closely, this son of yours was born when he was a young man, and he is the only son after giving birth to four daughters. The family regarded him as a treasure, and Mrs. Zheng regarded him as her life, and she couldn't wait to pluck the stars and moon in the sky for him. In the court, it is well known that Lord Zheng honored his mother, and his mother's words were more useful than holy decrees. How could your mother bear the death of her only grandson, and how could you watch your mother sad? ”

Zheng Yunlin suppressed the turbulence in his chest, gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want!" ”

Lu Jue said coldly: "I will clearly remember this sum of blood debts for them, and I want you to repay them one by one." You're the first! ”

"Lu Jue, you are really ruthless!" He was still wondering how his son had been hiding for several years and had been doing well, why it turned out that everything was this Lu Jue behind his back. The tree fell and scattered, he will only have someone fall into the well at this time, what hatred is the life of the nine clans, he looked at Lu Jue's eyes were dyed red with resentment, and he rushed forward uncontrollably, tightly pinched Lu Jue's neck and gritted his teeth, and said hysterically: "If you want to destroy my nine clans, then I will ask you to go to the funeral, I will kill you!" ”

This sudden scene stunned the entire court.

"Zheng Yunlin, don't worry, I won't let you die, I will want you to live well, I will let you watch your mother, son, daughter, and wife die in front of you one by one. It also gives you a taste of what the pain of the heart is! Lu Jue's words that added fuel to the fire made him even more angry. A person is so angry that his strength will burst to the limit, Lu Jue tried several times, but he didn't break free, his neck was pinched tighter and tighter, his breathing became more and more difficult, and Lu Jue's vision began to blur.

"Escort" I don't know who shouted, and everyone woke up.

I saw a tower-like figure flashing, and when he came to the two, he grabbed Zheng Yunlin's wrist with both hands, and as soon as he used force, Zheng Yunlin's hand let go of his hand and kicked him out, and he quickly grabbed Lu Jue's elbow to prevent him from falling to the ground. Pointing at Zheng Yunlin and yelling: "Take him down." ”

"Yes" The Praetorian Guards received the order and rushed to press Zheng Yunlin to the ground.

Zheng Yunlin struggled hard, stared at Lu Jue with red eyes, and shouted with all his might: "Lu Jue, you femme fatale, I won't let you go if I am a ghost,、、、、、、"

Zhu Yunqin breathed a sigh of relief when the person was rescued, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "Xiao Jue, it's okay!" ”

There are those who are happy, but there are also those who hate, and the hatred of this person is so great.

Lu Jue took a few breaths of fresh air, and said with a sad smile: "Let the princess worry, I'm fine." ”

Zhu Yunqin looked at the red mark on his neck, and said worriedly: "How can it be okay, let's take a look at Imperial Doctor Xuan!" ”

"No need, I'm fine." Quietly patted her arm, gave her a reassuring smile, and gave her a suggestive look. He staggered to Zheng Yunlin in two steps, and said with a kind intention to persuade him, but he couldn't repay him: "The lower official was originally persuaded with good intentions, why should the adult misunderstand the lower official, even if the adult is not for himself, he should be the ninth 、、、、、、"

"Don't pretend, I'm 、、、、、、" But when he saw Lu Jue's faint smile, he understood everything, he just wanted his own life, and it was too late to regret it.

People stopped making noise, and the court instantly quieted down, but the silence was a little scary.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhongzong made a decision, glanced at the entire court, and said: "Zheng Yinglong escaped in front of the formation, betrayed the army and reported the defeat of the whole army, and the long horse died in battle, and he was afraid of escaping from prison on the charge. Several crimes were punished together, and Zheng Yinglong was pressed down and beaten to death with a stick, and he was immediately executed. ”

Zheng Qingyun was so frightened that he was paralyzed to the ground, and he forgot to beg for mercy, until he was dragged out by the Praetorian Guards, and then shouted and begged for mercy: "The emperor spares his life!" The emperor spared his life、、、、、、Dad, Dad, save me, Dad、、、、、、"

Seeing his son's painful pleading, Zheng Yunlin didn't feel distressed, and he didn't care about Lu Jue. While kowtowing, he begged: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the criminal ministers who have worked hard for the court in the past few years, spare the dog's life!" Exchange my life for his life, Your Majesty, the guilty minister begs the Emperor. ”

Zhongzong stared at Lu Jue deeply for a long time, snorted, turned his gaze to Yang Wei and said: "Yang Wei will pass on the decree, Zheng Yunlin will be dismissed from the post of secretary of the Criminal Department, all the men of the nine clans will be remanded in prison, and the female dependents will be sent to remote places as slaves, and they will never enter Beijing." After all the charges were confirmed, the man was immediately sentenced. ”

Yang Wei said: "Yes." ”

Zhongzong squinted at Lu Jue and said, "Lu Jue." ”

Lu Jue stepped forward and said, "The minister is here." ”

Zhongzong said: "This case will be handed over to your Dali Temple and the Criminal Department for trial, and the presiding officer will be selected by you, and the conviction will be found out and then come to me to make it clear." ”

"Minister, Commander."
