Chapter 157: Gambling

Outside the window, the rain was still heavy and the lightning was thundering, and Yue Qingqian sat alone in the hall for an afternoon.

The rain finally stopped in the evening, and Yue Qingqian finally made a decision.

Since this is his gamble, then she will accompany him to gamble!

That night, Yue Qingqian sent the Tiger Ben Army to surround the entire Taibao Mansion.

The letter of the Tiger Ben Army was given to Mu Jin by Qin Moxuan before leaving, and Mu Jin handed it over to Yue Qingqian.

This symbol, in the absence of the emperor, the person who has this symbol can command the tiger army.

was surrounded by the army and the entire mansion, Taibao Chen Rui was naturally shocked.

He only hurriedly put on a coat and came out, and said in surprise as he wore it: "Wang Feihu, you sent people to surround the official's mansion in the middle of the night, but for what reason?" ”

"Huh! Why surround your mansion, I think the Taibao is very clear in my heart. Mu Jin's voice came from the crowd.

Chen Rui was slightly stunned, and then saw Mu Jin walking out of the crowd, along with Taishi Ye Jinzhi and Su Nianxi.

"Master Ye? You...... How did you end up here? ”

Ye Jinzhi's face couldn't be more gloomy, and he shouted: "Heh! The old man never thought that you would be such a sanctimonious person. On the surface, he is very respectful to His Majesty, but behind the scenes, he is plotting how to rebel? A villain like you is even more hateful than Wang Qingtian! ”

Chen Rui's face changed greatly, "You...... What nonsense are you talking about? I...... How could I possibly do these things? Could it be that there is some misunderstanding in this? ”

Chen Rui never imagined that the things he was secretly doing would be discovered.

What went wrong?

Su Nianxi sneered: "Whether the matter is a misunderstanding or not, let's wait for the queen to come." ”

As soon as Su Nianxi's voice fell, he heard a voice "The queen has arrived~".

Yue Qingqian got out of the carriage from one of the cars and was supported by Qiu Yue.

At this moment, she was wearing a dark red cloak, and under the cloak was a red palace robe.

Tonight's moon is shallow, and there is a solemn face, and the face is full of majesty.

It had rained all day, and the streets were not yet dry, and there was even water on the ground.

In the middle of the night, in the faint light of the fire, Yue Qingqian walked over step by step.

The surrounding guards all spontaneously made way for Yueqing, and for a moment the surroundings were so quiet that only the faint sound of footsteps could be heard.

Everyone spontaneously knelt down and said in unison, "See the queen mother." ”

Yue Qingqian walked to the door of the Taibao Mansion, and only the people in the Taibao Mansion did not kneel.

Yueqing's light red lips were slightly hooked, but her eyes were full of majesty, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she was not angry and arrogant: "Chen Taibao, when you see this palace, why don't you kneel?" ”

Taibao Chen Rui was still forced to kneel down because she was the master of the harem, and saluted: "Weichen see the queen mother." ”

Chen Rui knelt down, and the people in his house naturally knelt down.

Yue Qingqian said to everyone: "Let's be exempt from courtesy." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

The people around Chen Rui helped him up, after all, he was old, and Yue Qingqian just watched coldly.

After Chen Rui got up, he couldn't wait to shout that he was wronged, and said: "Queen Niangniang, Weichen was slandered and committed the crime of rebellion, and asked the Queen Niangniang to investigate and return Weichen to an innocence." ”

Yue Qing smiled lightly, her face looked beautiful because of her makeup, but this smile seemed to be a little mocking.

She said lightly: "This innocence is not innocent, but it is not up to you to decide, naturally there must be evidence." If this evidence proves your innocence, then it is naturally good, Chen Taibao, you are the pillar of the country, and this palace naturally does not want you to be involved in rebellion. But if this evidence does not prove your innocence, but proves that you really have the intention of rebellion, then this palace will also be sad. ”

Taibao Chen Rui's heart tightened, could it be that there was really evidence that was discovered?

But this is not possible, he is so cautious, how can the evidence that can prove his rebellion fall into the hands of others.

Thinking about it like this, Chen Rui felt a lot more relieved, and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "Weichen definitely didn't do such a thing, and asked the queen to find out." Now, not long after His Majesty left Beijing, some people can't wait to kill Weichen. Doesn't the queen think it's too much of a coincidence? ”

Yue Qingqian couldn't help but feel funny in her heart, this play was arranged in advance by Qin Moxuan and Mu Jin, so it was naturally a coincidence.

Yue Qingqian said: "Since you said that someone harmed you, then do you dare to swear to the sky?" ”

Taibao Chen Rui immediately said: "Okay, Weichen swears to heaven that it is impossible to do such a rebellious thing." If you do such a thing, you will be struck by lightning! ”

At this moment, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, startling everyone. Among them, the most frightening one is naturally Taibao Chen Rui.

He looked at the sky in horror, afraid that the thunder would really slash him.

Master Ye laughed and said, "Hahaha...... Now even God can't see it. God has manifested itself like this, what else do you have to say? ”

Yue Qing hooked her lips and sneered: "Chen Taibao, now that it is this thunderstorm, this oath is not something that can be made casually. In case this is really struck by thunder, even if the Taibao is really innocent, it will be difficult to block the mouths of this Youyou. ”

Taibao Chen Rui never imagined that there would be thunder at this time, isn't this a confirmation of his rebellion.

"Queen Niangniang, Weichen ......" Taibao Chen Rui still wanted to explain something.

Yue Qingqian had already interrupted: "Okay, let's go in and talk about this matter." It's late at night, so don't disturb the people. ”

At this time, Mu Jin reminded softly: "Queen Niangniang, if you go to the Taibao Mansion, this matter may not be in our hands." ”

Yue Qingqian smiled slightly, lowered her voice and said, "Do you remember what Your Majesty's real purpose is?" ”

Mu Jin was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Weichen understands." ”

Qin Moxuan's purpose was to force Chen Rui to oppose the Taibao. And the so-called "forcing rebellion" can only achieve the goal of forcing rebellion when the other party still has room to struggle and breathe.

And putting all the evidence in front of that person, so that he has no room for resistance, is not called forced rebellion.

The group entered Chen Taibao's mansion, Yue Qingqian sat on the top, and the rest of the people except for the Taishi, who was very old, let him sit next to him, and everyone else was standing.

"Chen Rui, someone accused you of plotting a rebellion and wanted to take advantage of His Majesty's absence to launch a rebellion, are you guilty?" Yue Qingqian raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Weichen doesn't know the crime, this crime is completely slander and frame-up!"

Yue Qingqian smiled and said, "Bring the evidence." ”

Chen Rui was very nervous in his heart, but he pretended that this was slandering him. He thought they wanted to cheat him, but he didn't expect that they had really prepared evidence.

However, he will not admit it in any way until there is sufficient evidence of guilt.

Su Nianxi presented the evidence, and Yue Qingqian said: "I bother Lord Su to read this evidence to Chen Taibao one by one." ”

Su Nianxi said respectfully: "Yes." ”

Then, Su Nianxi took the evidence and said: "On May 10 of the first year of Yuan Qi, Taibao Chen Rui had secret contact with the people of the Southern Chu State in Zuixiangju. In June of the same year, he received a total of no less than 100,000 taels of gold, silver and jewelry from the Southern Chu Kingdom. In July of the same year, in the superstition of the Southern Chu State, the rebellion was mentioned...... In March of the second year of Yuan Qi, he had close contacts with the people of Southern Chu in private. In May of the same year, he attempted to use the power of Southern Chu to usurp the throne, and a letter was attached to the evidence order. ”

Yue Qing sneered, "This pile, one by one, are you guilty?" ”

Yue Qingqian had already seen Chen Rui's expression clearly from the time Su Nianxi had just read that.

However, Chen Rui is still a scheming person in the end, and he controlled himself in time when his expression was leaked just now.

Now that Yue Qingqian asked, he shouted along the way: "Wronged, these are all frames, please ask the queen to find out." Now that Your Majesty is here, the queen must not fall for the schemes of traitors. ”

Yue Qing snorted coldly and said to Su Nianxi: "Master Su, bring all this evidence to him and let him take a good look." ”

"Yes."

Chen Rui hurriedly took it and carefully looked through the evidence, some of which Su Nianxi had not read.

But this evidence, he has obviously been destroyed, how could it be here.

And those letters, they can't be here.

Yue Qingqian looked at him in disbelief, but her heart was full of doubts, as if everything was going too well.

"No, it can't be...... How could it be here, I obviously ......"

Xu was so shocked that Chen Rui didn't choose to say anything for a while, revealing his feet.

As soon as he said this, although he stopped in time, everyone already understood.

Yue Qingqian sneered: "You still don't admit guilt? ”

Mu Jin also said: "Yes, Chen Taibao, you better quickly confess your guilt, the words on the reply letter here are all your handwriting, do you still think that someone is imitating your handwriting?" ”

In addition to disbelief, Chen Rui's face was also very puzzled. The handwriting can indeed be imitated, but the content is exactly the same, which only means that it is the original.

This was what shocked him the most, not to mention, he couldn't be more familiar with his own words. Even if someone imitates it, it is only on the surface.

It was only when he recognized that it was his own handwriting that he was so surprised and incredulous.

And what's even more terrifying is that in this evidence, there are all the replies he wrote to Nan Chu. One of the letters, when I was writing, accidentally dripped a drop of ink on one piece of paper, but now there is a reply letter.

Undoubtedly, these replies were written by him.

If there were one or two letters of reply, he could still believe that someone had intercepted them halfway through. But at this moment, he was a little frightened and had to think about it.

Could it be that he had been calculated from the beginning, so that everything could have been in that man's hands from the beginning?

But who is that person?
