Section 14 Enemies meet each other

On the Jinluan Hall in Kyoto, Emperor Yuning was discussing the celebration with the ministers, when he saw a yellow-clothed eunuch walking in quickly.

"Your Majesty, the military aircraft order Zhan Feng Zhan Lord, there is something important to play."

"Exhibition? What is important to him, preach! "Emperor Yuning said in his heart that Zhanfeng was in charge of the defense of Kyoto, what could he do.

"Xuan~Military Aircraft Orders Zhanfeng to Enter the Palace~!"

Zhan Feng took off his waist knife, and Hu Bu Xiong Feng walked in.

"Zhanfeng knocks to see my emperor, long live long live long live~!"

"Flat~, Zhan Aiqing, what do you have to do?"

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Xining and the criminal minister Fang Jiye plotted against each other, and privately possessed the five-clawed golden dragon carved in Tianhuang stone, which has been taken down by the ministers. This is a serious crime, please decide it to your Majesty. ”

"What?" Emperor Yuning stood up suddenly.

The courtiers above the main hall also let out an exclamation. Possession of a five-clawed golden dragon is a capital offense.

Emperor Yuning's heart was churning with anger, but he calmed down again in an instant. Emperor Yuning, who reigned for 17 years, is no longer the sharp killing of the year. The Marquis of Xining has a heavy army, and the prince is not just killed. One carelessness will bring heavy disasters to Great Xia.

Du Yushi Wu Guangzhao looked at Zhan Feng and hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty is angry, the Marquis of Xining is loyal to Your Majesty, the prince is young and ignorant, and Fang Jiye is a guilty person, the old minister thinks ~ There must be some misunderstanding here." ”

"Misunderstanding? Hmph, everyone has stolen goods, what misunderstanding can there be. ”

"Lord Zhan, how do you know that they have a five-clawed golden dragon?" Hao Chengjian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, asked.

"This~ someone has reported it."

"Secrets? Such a coincidence? Then why don't you go to the Criminal Department, or the secret report of Dali Temple. Hao Chengjian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, said that ghosts are believed.

"Why, can't my Kyoto Military Aircraft Battalion receive a secret report? Lord Hao, what do you mean by that? ”

"Lord Zhan, I didn't say that you can't~!"

The two of them were arguing, and Emperor Yuning slapped the imperial case, "Shut up!" ”

Du Yushi Wu Guangguang saw that His Majesty was furious, and said in his heart that if he didn't say anything, I was afraid that the Marquis of Xining would really be finished. If that is the case, I am afraid that no one in the DPRK and China will dare to compete with the other country.

Wu Guangguang gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground in an ordinary way, "Your Majesty, the ministers risk death to speak, this matter must be strange, and I hope that Your Majesty will be aware of Dali Temple." ”

"The ministers seconded the proposal~!"

After Wu Guangguang finished speaking, the sacrificial wine and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites also knelt down to plead.

Emperor Yuning's face was gloomy, and he could also see that among these civil officials, there were not a few people who were inclined to the Marquis of Xining. It is said that the private possession of the five-clawed golden dragon has already offended his reverse scales, and must be severely punished. However, the matter involved Hou Shizi of Xining, which really made him a little embarrassed.

Emperor Yuning hesitated for a moment, and glanced at everyone with a cold face, "The Marquis of Xining has a noble status, and this matter is probably difficult to judge in Dali Temple." On ~ handed over to Xiangguo Yu Ban for the main trial, Dali Temple supervised the trial. ”

As soon as Emperor Yuning's words fell, Wu Guangguang and other ministers who were inclined to the Marquis of Xining suddenly sweated in a hurry. Let Yu Ban preside over the trial, and it must not be served together with Xining Hou. Wu Guangguang was just about to risk his life to speak, when he saw an old minister walk out. This person was Wang Shidu at Hallym University and the teacher of Emperor Yuning when he was the prince.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that if it is handed over to Lord Xiangguo, I am afraid that this matter will be criticized. After all, Fang Jiye's case implicated Mrs. Xiangguo's family. Lao Chen has a suitable candidate, I don't know what His Majesty wants? ”

Emperor Yuning frowned, and said in his heart that there are many things to do with you, but on the surface, you have to give the teacher a face.

"I don't know which Aiqing Lao Hanlin is talking about?"

"Your Majesty, when it comes to the Marquis of Xining and Fang Jiye, it is not appropriate for any courtier to try it. It is necessary not only to be fair, but also to withstand the pressure from all sides. Lao Chen felt that this candidate for the chief judge was none other than Shangguan Heavenly Master. ”

When Wang Shidu said this, everyone was stunned, and in an instant, everyone's eyes looked at Shangguan Tianshi, who was at the head of the imperial case.

The fat man Zhang Ruming was hungry all morning, and secretly took out a piece of jerky from his cuff and stuffed it into his mouth while everyone was arguing. Suddenly became the focus of attention, and the piece of jerky almost choked him to death.

In front of everyone's eyes, Shangguan Heavenly Master puffed out his cheeks and stared, but he was a little unangry and arrogant. The ministers discussed a lot and praised Wang Shidu's proposal.

In the past six months, although Shangguan Tianshi has quickly become a favored minister, he rarely participates in the open and secret battles between civil officials and military generals. In particular, Yu Ban failed to win over him several times, but there was a tendency to compete with him for favor. If he really let the Heavenly Master preside over the case, he was really not afraid of pressure from Xiangguo and the Xining Marquis Mansion.

Emperor Yuning's eyes also lit up, "Shangguan Aiqing, I wonder if you are willing to preside over this case?" ”

"Woo~, woo~!" At this time, Shangguan Heavenly Master was choked by the dried meat and rolled his eyes.

Emperor Yuning thought that Shangguan Heavenly Master was worried about the pressure from the Marquis of Xining and did not dare to accept it, so he said again, "Aiqing doesn't have to worry about anything, I will give you the sword of Shangfang, so I will bother Aiqing to work hard." ”

The fat man Zhang Ruming finally swallowed the jerky and lay on the ground to hammer his chest. Emperor Yuning thought that he was grateful to Dade, and immediately issued an order to summon him. Zhang Ruming didn't expect this meeting to become the chief judge of the case.

The news that Hou Shizi of Xining had secretly hidden the five-clawed golden dragon quickly spread throughout the mansions of the capital. The members of the forbidden faction all celebrated with their crowns. And those officials who are usually suppressed by the ban smell a hint of conspiracy.

When Bai Ruokong learned of this, he was even more anxious. He and the Marquis of Xining made a lot of calculations, thinking that Yu Ban would at most anger the prince and make him a lawless crime. Unexpectedly, Yu Ban would be so insidious and vicious, and directly dug up a major crime of rebellion.

Bai Ruokong immediately took action, using Xining Hou's hidden connections in Kyoto, and quickly found out the situation at that time. Knowing that the package was a five-clawed golden dragon found in Duan Lang's hands, Bai Ruokong was ruthless in his heart, and was ready to push the matter on Duan Lang's head at any cost. It's a big deal to get into another Fang Jiye, and you have to exonerate the son.

Duan Lang and others have been transferred to Dali Temple, and the fat man Zhang Ruming held the sword of Shang Fang and came to the Yamen of Dali Temple in a sedan chair.

Dali Temple Qing Fan Cheng hurriedly went out to greet him, "Xiaguan Fancheng, greet Shangguan Heavenly Master." ”

"Hehe, Lord Fan doesn't have to be polite, this Heavenly Master is not in the court, and adults don't have to be formal." Zhang Ruming got off the sedan chair with a red face, stepped forward and grabbed Fan Cheng's hand, looking quite affectionate.

"Shangguan Heavenly Master prays for the people to be admired by all the people, and now he is here to preside over the trial of the case of Hou Shizi of Xining.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's all family."

The two of them came to the lobby as they spoke, Zhang Ruming pretended to look at the case file, and his heart was full of snot.

"Lord Fan, how many people are involved in this matter."

"Master Huitian, if you want to talk about implication, I am afraid that this case is very widely implicated. But there are only four main people, Zhao Zhuofeng, the son of the Marquis of Xining, Duan Lang, the righteous son, Fang Jiye, the general of the guilty family, and Fang Yan, the daughter of the Fang family. Fan Cheng replied

"Well, in this way, this Heavenly Master is going to try four people. Wait, who did you just say? Duan Lang ~ Which Duan Lang? ”

The fat man Zhang Ruming was stunned, this name had already been deeply rooted in his heart. If there is anyone in this world who makes Zhang Ruming fear and hate, it is Duan Lang. The identity of his fake Heavenly Master that he was afraid of, I was afraid that only Duan Lang Fang Yan could expose it, after all, only the three of them knew where the True Heavenly Master was buried. For more than half a year, Zhang Ruming was afraid that guy would come out.

"If you return to the Heavenly Master, that Duan Lang is the righteous son of the Marquis of Xining, and the file says that he is from Fengluan County."

Zhang Ruming's fat face leaned forward, "Does that guy have a scar on his face?" Long and ugly. ”

"Uh~!" Fan Chengxin said that he had seen the scar, but it was not ugly.

"Master Heaven, this son does have a scar on his face, as for his appearance, compared to the Celestial Master, it is really ugly." Fan Cheng slapped his ass.

Zhang Ruming licked his lips, and said in his heart that there is a way in heaven for you not to go, and there is no door for hell for you to break into. Now it's okay, Lao Tzu has the sword of Shang Fang to cut it first and then play, and kill this kid directly, and Lao Tzu can sit back and relax in the future.

"Lord Fan, I'm going to go to the prison to take a look at this Duan Lang." Zhang Ruming said.

"Uh~ Master Tianshi, the prison is dirty and smelly, why bother so much, I will let him be escorted over directly."

"No, no, this matter is an oracle from His Majesty, and you can't tell anyone. Remember, after this Celestial Master enters, no one is allowed to approach him. Otherwise, Shang Fang Sword is not a vegetarian. Zhang Ruming pretended to be mysterious and said.

As soon as he heard that it was His Majesty's message, Fan Cheng suddenly realized. Looking at the fat-headed and big-eared Shangguan Heavenly Master, Fan Chengxin said that this guy is so favored by His Majesty, it seems that he will have to compliment him in the future.

In the Dali Temple Prison, Duan Lang's identity was slight, but he was only imprisoned in an ordinary cell at the far west. The cells were not very dirty, and the high ceiling had a ventilated window. The windows are secured by three iron tendons to prevent prisoners from escaping.

However, this small skylight has brought convenience to Duan Lang. After a few whistles, Da Fei flew in through the skylight. Duan Lang thought for a moment, picked up a small stone chip from the prison, and carved a mark on it with his fingernails that only the shadow could understand. He told Zhou Guangji not to be impatient, Duan Lang believed that the Xining Hou Mansion would send someone to find out about the conspiracy.

Half a day passed, and Duan Lang stayed in prison bored in shackles. He didn't know what the situation was outside, but Duan Lang believed that such a frame-up should be easy to find out. As long as they find the man who gave them the five-clawed golden dragon, the whole thing will come to light.

Duan Lang's ears moved, and he looked at the prison door. After a few breaths, the cell door opened, and a ball of flesh dressed in a celestial master uniform entered. Boom, the meatball closed the door. Zhang Ruming, who was holding Shang Fang's sword, walked over with a smug smile.

"Hahahaha, boy, do you still recognize me?"

Duan Lang was slightly stunned and looked at it carefully, "Ah~ You are~ Zhang Ruming?" ”

"Wrong! This heavenly master has the surname Shangguan, and his name is Xuanwu. Zhang Ruming shook his round head and said openly.

", you can recognize a dead fat man who has turned into ashes, you are Zhang Ruming in the liar."

"Hmph, I'm still hard-mouthed when I'm dying, I'll tell you the truth, Lao Tzu is here to send you on your way. Duan Lang, Duan Lang, I'm afraid you never dreamed that Lao Tzu would be able to sit on the throne of the Imperial Heavenly Master. As long as you and that girl die, no one will know that Lao Tzu's name is Zhang Ruming. Hahahaha~! Zhang Ruming let out an arrogant laugh.

Duan Lang was a little confused, Heavenly Master? This dead fat man didn't do Lang Zhong and changed his career to a heavenly teacher? Isn't it~! Duan Lang suddenly remembered the dead Heavenly Masters on the way.

"I understand, it turns out that your kid has impersonated a heavenly master?" Duan Lang looked at Zhang Ruming with a sudden realization.

"Hehe, be louder, shout hard, it's useless for you to shout to break the sky, no one here can hear it. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, Lao Tzu did pretend to be the inheritance disciple of the dead Heavenly Master, and only sat in this position with the legacy of the ancestor master. Zhang Ruming said proudly.

Duan Lang tilted his head and looked at Zhang Ruming, "Don't say it, you dead fat man is really brave." ”

"Hehe, but if you don't die, Lao Tzu will never be able to sleep soundly."

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the judge of the case?"

Zhang Ruming had a playful smile on his face, and patted the sword in his arms, "See this thing, Shang Fang Sword." Hehe, if you can die under Shang Fang's sword, you kid can be regarded as an ancestor of virtue. ”

"You want to kill me?"

"See you in the next life, let's go!"

Zhang Ruming said and pulled out his sword, took a deep breath, and stabbed at Duan Lang.
