Fifty-five, suicide in fear of sin

One of the leading soldiers shouted at them, "Who are you, get off your horse and be questioned." ”

Tong Qixi ignored it and continued to gallop towards the city, and the soldiers lined up in a row to stop at the city gate.

Tong Qixi smiled lightly, she pulled the reins heavily, and saw the horses soar into the air and leap over their heads.

Tong Qixi didn't stop, and ran all the way back to King Ling's mansion.

——————

"Stupid! Idiot! ”

In King Qing's Mansion, Xiao Yuhao was furious, and he slapped the person in front of him who was blocking Tong Qixi at the gate of the city.

It turned out that those people were not soldiers, they were the guards of the Qingwang Mansion.

The man stood straight and let Xiao Yuhao whip him.

Xiao Yuhao pointed at him angrily and scolded angrily: "Let you take someone to Yuzhou to stop them, you can't find it, this is at the gate of the city, you still can't stop it, what's the use of this king raising you?" ”

At this time, the man spoke: "Lord Wang, my subordinates went all the way to Yuzhou, but they didn't see King Ling's whereabouts when they arrived in Yuzhou. ”

At this time, Xiao Wenhao, who was sitting on the side, stood up and said: "Second brother, Xiao Liyue is scheming, he must have guessed that we would intercept them, so he deliberately took a detour back to Beijing, and now the matter in Yuzhou has alarmed my father, I wanted to ask for a guide to Yuzhou to handle this matter, I didn't want to be Xiao Liyue's first step, fortunately, the people we sent to follow Xiao Liyue came back to inform, otherwise we didn't know that Xiao Liyue would go to Yuzhou, this matter can't be covered, it's better to simply ......." Xiao Wenhao gestured with his hand on his neck.

Xiao Yuhao asked in a low voice, "Third brother, do you mean to kill Xiao Yue?" ”

Sure enough, it was the mud that couldn't support the wall, Xiao Wenhao sighed and said, "Second brother, I'm talking about Kaohsiung, you and my maternal uncle." ”

"Uncle?" , Xiao Yuhao was surprised: "Will the mother concubine agree?" ”

Xiao Wenhao replied: "I can't care so much anymore, this king has already asked him to restrain a little, don't be too greedy, he doesn't listen, and now the matter is so big, even if it is the mother concubine, she can't hold it back, so she simply abandons the car to protect the handsome, and there is no proof to die, so as not to let them continue to investigate." ”

Xiao Wenhao narrowed his eyes, revealing a fierce killing intent.

Xiao Yuhao hesitated for a moment, and finally turned to the man and said, "This matter will be left to you, and you must deal with it for this king, and don't leave any flaws." ”

"Yes! Lord Wang, his subordinates will never leave any traces! The man hugged his fists.

The next day, the palace of diligence.

"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." , the chief eunuch beside the emperor shouted loudly.

The hundreds of officials of the cultural relics looked at each other, and none of them stepped forward, because they knew that the emperor was in a very bad mood for the affairs of Yuzhou recently, and they were not willing to anger the emperor at this time.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, the chief eunuch just wanted to shout to retreat from the court, but saw Xiao Yunxi, the king of Chun, walk out, "Why is it so quiet today?" Since you don't play, then this king will play it. ”

Saying that, Xiao Yunxi clenched his fists at the emperor, "Father, the son has something to do." ”

The emperor looked at Xiao Yunxi and asked, "Old Seven, what do you have to do?" ”

"Back to my father, a few days ago, my sixth sister-in-law, the princess Ling who you married to the sixth brother, ran away from home, and my sixth brother went thousands of miles to find a wife."

After speaking, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty covered their mouths and snickered.

The emperor pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and said with a slight reproach: "Old Seven, he will handle your sixth brother's family affairs, why do you need to put it in the public court." As he spoke, the emperor also looked at Xiao Liyue on the side.

Xiao Yunxi smiled slightly, "Father, don't you want to know where my sixth sister-in-law ran away from home in the past half month?" ”

The emperor looked at Xiao Liyue and asked, "Sixth, since the seventh is very interested in your affairs, then you can go and talk to him when you retire later, okay, that's all for today, retreat from the court!" After the emperor finished speaking, he stood up and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute, Father." , Xiao Yunxi shouted.

The emperor stopped and looked at Xiao Yunxi.

Xiao Yunxi hugged his fists and said: "Please also ask my father to stay, my sixth sister-in-law ran away from home this time, but she did a big thing for my father." After speaking, Xiao Yunxi called outside the hall: "Bring it in!" ”

After speaking, I saw two Royal Guards walking in carrying a man.

Everyone didn't know this person, only Xiao Yuhao, Xiao Wenhao and the two brothers recognized him at a glance.

Xiao Yuhao was a little flustered, and now Xiao Wenhao on the side said in a low voice: "Second brother, calm down!" ”

Seeing that the man who was placed on the ground was motionless, the emperor asked, "Who is this?" ”

Xiao Yunxi smiled slightly and said, "Back to my father, this person is Yuzhou Taishou Liu Shiquan." ”

"Liu Shiquan?"

"He's Liu Shiquan?"

"I heard that he did the Yuzhou disaster relief grain corruption case."

"What's wrong with him, why doesn't he move, is he dead?"

Hundreds of officials were discussing.

This is Xiao Yunxi took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and said to everyone: "He is not dead, he is just a unique drug of the Tong family." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yunxi shook the medicine bottle under Liu Shiquan's nose.

Soon Liu Shiquan had a reaction.

"Well, look, look, he's really awake."

"I can't imagine that there is such a magical thing in the Zhenguo General's Mansion."

The two ministers talked like little village women who had never seen the world.

After Liu Shiquan woke up, he looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and then looked at the emperor who was high above and full of majesty, and he immediately knelt down, "Emperor...... The emperor, the criminal minister Liu Shiquan, knock ...... Knock on my emperor, long live my emperor. ”

Liu Shiquan lay on the ground.

"Sixth brother, don't you take out all the things you brought to show your father." , Xiao Yunxi said to Xiao Yue.

Xiao Liyue slowly took out the account book found from Liu Shi's whole house from her sleeve, as well as the confessions of the people of Yuzhou collected in Yuzhou.

The chief eunuch took the things in Xiao Yueyue's hand and handed them to the emperor.

After the emperor saw it, Long Yan was furious, "Come on, go, bring Kaohsiung to me, I want to try this case personally." ”

"Yes!"

The Imperial Forest Army got the emperor's instructions and went to Gaofu to get people.

The Imperial Guards entered the Gaofu to search around, but finally found the hanged Kaohsiung body in Kaohsiung's study, as well as a letter of fear on the ground.

Letter:

You know that you are guilty, the sins are deep and unforgivable, you are obsessed with wealth for a while, you are ashamed of the tens of thousands of disaster victims in Yuzhou, and you are even more responsible for the grace of God, and now you go to the Yellow Spring for a hundred miles to atone for your sins.

————

After reading the letter, the emperor slapped it directly on the table, and said angrily: "Do you think that you can atone for your sins by committing suicide in fear of sin?" Tens of thousands of people in Yuzhou have been killed and injured, not because of natural disasters, but because of man-made disasters! The more the emperor talked, the more atmospheric it became.

"Father's anger is at ease." , Xiao Yuhao hurriedly came out and said: "Now Kaohsiung has committed suicide in fear of crime, which can be regarded as an explanation to the people of Yuzhou." ”

At this time, Xiao Jingxuan walked out and said, "Sixth brother, could it be that the sixth brother thinks that just one Kaohsiung would dare to embezzle the disaster relief grain of the imperial court for three years?" ”

"Old eight, what do you mean?" , Xiao Yuhao walked out and asked angrily.

Xiao Jingxuan shrugged his shoulders, "No, it's not interesting, I'm just analyzing, second brother, why are you so nervous?" ”

"You ......"

Xiao Wenhao grabbed Xiao Yuhao and said to Xiao Jingxuan: "Eighth brother misunderstood, my second brother is not nervous, but that Kaohsiung was originally my maternal uncle, I don't want him to commit such a big thing, and now I am afraid of committing suicide, the two of us are really in the atmosphere, and I feel sorry for my mother." ”

After speaking, Xiao Wenhao glanced at the prime minister and the Ministry of Industry.

The two of them hurriedly came out and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, this Kaohsiung usually relies on the relationship with the noble concubine Niangniang, bullying the people everywhere, and doing all kinds of evil, and now he is actually embezzling the court's disaster relief grain and silver in order to fill his own pockets, which is really a heinous crime and unforgivable." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, although Kaohsiung is dead, I feel that this matter is unforgivable, and I ask the emperor to deal with this matter."

The emperor looked at Liu Shiquan below, and said angrily: "Spread the word to Yu, Kaohsiung's crime is extremely heinous, although he has been afraid of the crime, but his crime is unforgivable, his family members are all assigned to the frontier as slaves, the family property is confiscated, all officials in Yuzhou, favoritism, do not report the knowledge, all are assigned to the frontier, and anyone involved in this case will be beheaded without forgiveness." ”

"The emperor is wise!" , the prime minister and the Ministry of Industry hurriedly saluted.

"The emperor is wise." , civil and military officials also echoed.

Xiao Jingxuan was unwilling, just wanted to say something but was pulled by Xiao Yueyue, Xiao Jingyue shook his head at him, Xiao Jingxuan had no choice but to hold back his unwillingness.

After retreating from the court, Xiao Yuyue was walking, and Xiao Jingxuan asked with an unwilling face: "Sixth brother, why don't you let your father continue to investigate, I never believe that this matter was planned by Kaohsiung alone, then Xiao Yuhao and Xiao Wenhao brothers will definitely not be able to escape from it." ”

"That's it, sixth brother, this Kaohsiung's death is also very strange, maybe it was the two of them who killed it, so that we have no proof of death!" , Xiao Yunxi also said.

Xiao Yuyue looked up at the sky and said: "Kaohsiung is dead, even if he continues to investigate, there will be no results, this king naturally knows that there are people behind Kaohsiung to support him, but now that Kaohsiung is dead, we will continue to investigate not only can not find anything, but can make their brothers bite back, I believe that in order to settle this matter, the people behind this scene will definitely spit out the dirty silver that they have eaten." ”

"Could it be that you just let those two villains go? They're my Nanli moths! Xiao Jingxuan said unwillingly.

Xiao Yuyue patted Xiao Jingxuan's shoulder, "Eighth brother, don't worry, even if they are allowed to escape this time, this king believes that they will one day be punished for the crimes they committed." ”

Xiao Jingxuan puffed out his cheeks, and Xiao Yunxi came over and patted him, "Okay, eighth brother, believe what the sixth brother said, if you don't believe it, look up, who the sky bypasses." ”

Xiao Jingxuan had an aggrieved little expression, "Okay, sixth brother, since you're back, then I'll go to your house for dinner today!" ”

"No way!"

Xiao Yueyue said it almost at the same time as Xiao Jingxuan finished speaking.

"Why Sixth Brother? Before you got married, I used to go to your house for dinner. ”

"That ......", Xiao Yunxi pulled him over, "Eighth brother, the sixth brother just came back, you let him rest for two days first, this, there is a famous chef in my house recently, and the Sichuan cuisine is quite good, why don't you go to my house to eat today?" ”

Xiao Jingxuan stared, "Okay, since you have invited me, Seventh Brother, then I will reluctantly go." ”

"Hehe, hehe." , the corners of Xiao Yunxi's mouth twitched, it was really cheap and good-looking......
