Chapter 424: A Sharp Turn
"Jia Shilang, so many people have impeached you, what do you have to say?"
His face was a little dark, his voice was slightly deep, and the emperor was high up, looking down at Jia Lian.
This is very different from the emperor of the usual time, which makes Jia Lian look indescribably weird.
His throat couldn't help but move, and an ominous feeling came to his heart, and Jia Lian suddenly became nervous.
"Back to the emperor, as soon as the incident happened yesterday, the minister told His Majesty about this matter, and Weichen remembered that when His Majesty asked the ministers to leave the palace, he instructed the ministers to seal their mouths and not to spread the word.
Try not to let the tension in her heart not leak out, Jia Lian raised his head and looked at everyone arrogantly.
"Your Majesty has ordered that no information be passed on, but how did you find out? Moreover, it is still known to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty! ”
Although he didn't understand where the weird feeling in his heart came from, Jia Lian realized that if he was weak today, he was afraid that he didn't know what was waiting for him in front of him.
Therefore, directly revealing his strong side, Jia Lian did not have the slightest intention of compromise.
And what he said just now was also testing the emperor.
As he said before, when the emperor asked him to leave the palace with Baoling Hou and Zhongjing Hou yesterday, he did say something that was not allowed to be publicized, but it did not reach the point of clear words.
But even so, today's sudden attack on these people is also quite puzzling for Jia Lian.
However, Jia Lian's words were also well thought out, although Jia Lian was indeed the first person at the first scene in yesterday's incident, he asked himself that he had done a very good job.
Therefore, even if these people wanted to splash this basin of dirty water on him, although it was troublesome, they should not be afraid.
It's just that Jia Lian is worried about the emperor's attitude.
Today's emperor looks really weird.
Jia Lian's words successfully choked the people who had impeached him before, and everyone looked at each other, and there was no way to refute it for a while.
First, they didn't expect that Jia Lian would tell the emperor about the matter as soon as possible yesterday, and secondly, they didn't expect the emperor to order a seal.
The emperor could see everyone's faces clearly, but his chest rose and fell violently, and the emperor looked at Jia Lian with complicated eyes, and finally sighed deeply.
"Hmph, the ambition of the erector wolf, thinking that this kind of carving insect skill can hide from my eyes?"
scolded sharply, and without waiting for Jia Lian, who was suddenly suppressed by the emperor's anger, to react, the emperor got up.
"I have verified yesterday's events clearly, and the human and material evidence exists, if it weren't for the facts, I'm afraid I would have been deceived by you!"
His eyes widened, and the emperor seemed to be very excited as he spoke, and slapped the arm of the chair hard in excitement.
Confused!
Jia Lian looked at the emperor who could almost be inexplicably angry, and it took a long time to digest the meaning of his words.
Yesterday's incident, Pei Yongchun was poisoned to death?
Evidence of people and materials is still there??
Subconsciously licked his lips, and Jia Lian even trembled slightly.
Wrong.
Something really wasn't right, there must have been something he'd missed.
"Your Majesty, Weichen didn't touch Pei Yongchun at all yesterday, so how can anyone say that there is evidence."
Jia Lian dared to guarantee 100% that the emperor would definitely know that he was wronged.
But why is it such an attitude.
And according to Jia Lian's speculation, the emperor is the most important and the most priority, and he has always stumbled over the family.
Now under the leadership of his Jia Mansion and the Zhen family, the things he has been thinking about for decades have finally changed, and now the Zhen family has fallen into it. Although Jia Lian knew from Dai Quan and Jia Yuanchun that the emperor seemed to be different from before, Jia Lian still couldn't believe it.
If the emperor really treats his Jia family as the Zhen family, regardless of whether the Jia family is wronged or not, the national debt matter that has gradually improved, is he not afraid of returning to the pre-liberation period overnight?
Not only Jia Lian was stunned, but even the group of people who impeached Jia Lian just now were a little confused by the state of Jia Lian and the emperor.
However, although they don't know what happened to the emperor and Jia Lian, it can't hide the joy in their hearts.
Although I don't know why the emperor's attitude towards Jia Lian suddenly became like this, it is also in line with their intentions, avoiding a lot of twists and turns.
What they didn't know, Jia Lian was naturally confused.
But you can't just blindly let the mermaid meat, you always have to find a way to protect yourself.
Therefore, his eyes did not flicker when he saw the emperor as before, and Jia Lian made a fearless look and looked straight at the emperor.
"It's your side of the story whether you touch it or not, but do you remember the two eunuchs who were trembling at that time!"
Obviously, Jia Lian's method didn't work, looking at Jia Lian who was looking directly into his eyes below, the look on the emperor's face was even darker.
In his mind, because he touched the two eunuchs who dragged Pei Yongchun by himself, Jia Lian's pupils dilated violently.
These two people were ordered by Dai Quan to go, and at that time, the two of them were trembling with fear because Jia Lian said that Pei Yongcun was angry, and Jia Lian remembered it vividly.
Jia Lian didn't look like he was pretending to be like that, but now that the emperor said this, could it be that these two people poured dirty water on him?
But why?
It's just that before Jia Lian could open his mouth to question, the emperor above looked at Jia Lian condescendingly and opened his mouth word by word.
"They have confessed that the reason why they were scared yesterday was because they saw that you poisoned Pei Yongchun and were intimidated by you.
It seems that I am really too tolerant of you, which caused you to dare to do such a thing, and, just last night, because the two of them were frightened, I was ready to let them go home to visit their relatives, but the news of their death came back at night, and they were killed before they could even get out of the city gate, if it weren't for the palace waist card on their bodies, I'm afraid no one would have noticed it at all! ”
As if struck by lightning, Jia Lian watched the emperor's mouth open and close above, and the whole person was completely stunned.
Intimidate?
Poisoned?
He's dead???
There was a sound of "coaxing", and there was an uproar in the court.
Everyone's eyes focused on Jia Lian, Jia Lian's back molars clenched, and his fists clenched.
Very good, a hundred secrets are sparse, there is no evidence for this death, the two eunuchs have already made confessions before they die, and that is the last witness.
As for the physical evidence, although the emperor didn't say it, Jia Lian knew that since someone was so deliberate to create the appearance that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, he must have already prepared it.
All this came too suddenly, and after a brief uproar, the court was quickly divided into three factions.
"Father, the son thinks that all this is too much of a coincidence, and Lord Jia also said that he notified you as soon as the incident happened, if he is really the murderer, he must not have made such a move."
It was the crown prince who was on the list at the moment, and he had been watching what had just happened, never thinking that all this would come so suddenly.
If you want to add sin, there is no excuse.
The emperor's statement, unless Jia Lian can find evidence of his innocence, Jia Lian knows that he has planted it this time.
But in such a situation, the prince was able to stand up and speak for him as soon as possible, and he was still grateful.
Silent, Jia Lian quietly watched the people above him quarrel for him, and did not defend it again.
He has already said everything he can say, and it will be futile to say anything at this time.
The prince's voice fell, and the people who had impeached Jia Lian before, although they didn't sell it, understood why the emperor's attitude suddenly changed, but since the opportunity was sent to him, he naturally would not let it go.
Therefore, one after another courtiers stood up to accuse the prince of favoritism, and on the other hand, they praised the emperor Shengming, who was not deceived by Jia Lian's carving skills, and then condemned Jia Lian and summed it up.
"The reason why Jia Lian wants to kill Pei Yongchun must be because he was trampled on a sore foot, which shows that Pei Yongchun accused Jia Lian and the Zhen family of having a nest of snakes and rats.
If it was just about poisoning Pei Yongchun, and the prince came forward, Jia Lian's worst plan should be to dismiss him and then be imprisoned for a few years.
But now everyone's remarks have calmed Jia Lian's originally anxious heart suddenly.
The fate of the Zhen family is in front of him, and the emperor's decree, although it will not be exterminated, let the Shuntian Mansion escort the Zhen family to Beijing, and the Zhen family should have their property confiscated.
And now these people obviously want the Jia family to follow in the same footsteps.
But Jia Lian can't let them do this!
This time he was put in such a position, Jia Lian admitted!
But there are old and young, and the children are only babbling, even a few months.
If he follows in the footsteps of the Zhen family and goes to prison, the fate of the child can be imagined.
Therefore, he will never allow such a thing to happen!
With red eyes, Jia Lian was completely angered by these people, and the people around him who interceded for him, watched and watched, and fought for him just like the prince.
Everyone who helped him, he remembered it in his heart, but those who now want to hang a trumped-up charge on him, Jia Lian also remembers it deeply.
"Your Majesty!"
Turning a deaf ear to the sounds around him, Jia Lian fell to his knees fiercely.
"Weichen's loyalty can shine on the sun and the moon, that day the Pei family was temporary, and the cause and effect of the minister had already been explained clearly, so Pei Yongchun's matter, the minister really had no motive!
But just as Wei Chen just said, since His Majesty had already issued a gag order yesterday, why did all the colleagues in the court seem to have seen Pei Yongchun with their own eyes today.
And the killing of Pei Yongchun is even more ridiculous, if it weren't for His Majesty talking about it, the minister wouldn't even know why they died suddenly.
It's not a pity for the minister to die, but Your Majesty, since that person is so deliberately trying to frame Wechen, there must be some ulterior secrets in it, so Wechen implores Your Majesty to investigate! ”
"Father, Lord Jia's personality is obvious to all, in order to improve the living environment of the people, the dignified three-grade master, personally patrolling the streets, personally building the streets, doesn't this still show his love for the people?
How can such a person become a demon in your mouth! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, Master Jia must have been framed, this person has ill intentions, Your Majesty thinks twice."
Baoling Hou and Zhongjing Hou were also stunned by this scene, and now they saw that everyone was arguing about it, and they also hurriedly spoke out, although they didn't know the effect, but at least they did their best.
It's just that the emperor seems to have determined Jia Lian's crimes, whether it is the crown prince or others, although he did not add the charges of others accusing Jia Lian and the Zhen family of snakes and rats, but he is very sure that Jia Lian poisoned Pei Yongchun.
"On the merits, I can only make judgments! The evidence of Jia Shilang's killing of Pei Yongchun is conclusive, if anyone intercedes again, it will really be regarded as Jia Lian's accomplice and dealt with with the same crime! ”
Without giving others a chance to help Jia Lian defend himself, the emperor looked at the others after speaking.
"His account, I have now calculated it clearly, and I can get rid of the position of the right attendant of Jia Lian's salt department and put him in prison, but your account book, I will also settle and settle with you today!"
Kneeling on the ground, Jia Lian was angry and relieved at the same time.
If it was just Pei Yongchun's matter, since the emperor said that he would dismiss him, there would be no danger in coming to the Jia family.
It's just a prison sentence, and the emperor will only be able to endure it for a month or two, and since the prince is willing to defend him now, he thinks he trusts him.
In his heart, because of Jia Yuanchun's words, his prejudice against the prince disappeared, and Jia Lian bowed his head.
Bear with it, it's a big deal to sit for a month or two, the prince ascends the throne and gives amnesty to the world, he Jia Lian is a good man!
The emperor didn't let Jia Lian take him down, and Jia Lian could still see the situation in the court.
The biggest worry in his heart was solved, and Jia Lian was finally in the mood to care about other things.
The prince originally thought that according to Jia Lian's momentum just now, he would be wronged by such a coffin, and he would inevitably jump out and reason with the emperor without reluctance.
didn't think that it would not be for a while, Jia Lian calmed down, and he looked up to Jia Lian in his heart, so he looked up to Jia Lian a few points more.
Originally, Jia Lian thought that today was already his back, but what happened next made Jia Lian realize that today's story had just begun.
"Just like Jia Lian said just now, when they left the palace one day, I had already issued an order that Pei Yongchun's matter should not be spread outside, so I ask you, where did you learn about it!"
The anger was heavier than when he talked to Jia Lian before, and the emperor's face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water.
The corners of his mouth pulled slightly, and a strange feeling welled up in Jia Lian's heart, he raised his head without a trace, glanced at the emperor with the corner of his eye, and admitted that he didn't pay attention to lowering it.
What does the emperor mean by this......?
Since he is so sure that Pei Yongchun was killed by Jia Lian, why do you have no doubt that Jia Lian will keep it secret?
After all, according to what the emperor just said, Jia Lian not only killed Pei Yongchun, but also in order not to expose himself, he even killed the two little eunuchs who left the palace.
Such a move, such a character, since the emperor is convinced, how can he guarantee that Jia Lian will not leak secrets? ?
Watching the changes, Jia Lian moved slightly, kneeling for too long, and his feet were a little numb.
And the people who were arguing with the prince and others just now originally thought that since Jia Lian had such a result, the matter would come to an end, and they never wanted to turn around sharply, and the emperor's head was aimed at them again.
When Jia Lian questioned them just now, they were stunned by the question, and they didn't know how to answer, but the emperor interrupted at that time, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, now that the emperor was talking about the old story, they were not prepared at all, and now their mouths opened one by one, and they looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
As if expecting everyone's reaction, the emperor on the dragon chair snorted coldly, and his eyes were red and he glanced around.
