Chapter 271: One Night of Fish and Dragon Dance (Part II)

In the Gongyuan, Jiang Song, the two Huai Governors, was originally going to burn all the files, but due to the arrival of Zhang Lie, the left deputy capital, and Sui Xi, the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, had to be terminated halfway, Jiang Song led Zhang Lie and Sui Xi to the back hall, Jiang Song showed a completely unaware look, wanting Zhang Lie and Sui Xi to think that he was completely unaware.

“…… Two Qincha, I don't know where you heard the rumors? Tonight, the wind and waves in the Gongyuan are calm, no one has come out, so guarded, who dares to come to death, and burn the file of the township test? Whoever comes, they don't want to live, and the thousands of officers and soldiers stationed in this tribute courtyard guarantee that not even a fly can fly in! Jiang Song almost patted his chest and made a promise.

Sui Xi drank a little too much and was dizzy, he looked at Zhang Lie and said, "Jiang Xuezheng is reasonable!" ”

"What's the point? Maybe there is an inner ghost who wants to make trouble? The post station is not yet on guard, and the official and Sui Langzhong are almost dead in vain! Zhang Lie was very angry, he was originally on the rise, but he was suddenly threatened with death, and now he knew that someone wanted to be unfavorable to him, he was extremely annoyed in his heart, "Where is the file?" This official will personally inspect it tonight! ”

"The two Qincha, this dossier has been sealed, doesn't it mean that ......" Jiang Song still wanted to argue about something.

Zhang Lie said angrily: "The seal will be opened tomorrow morning, and it will be the same tonight, is there any secret hidden under this seal?" ”

Jiang Song hurriedly waved his hand and said, "There is no such thing!" ”

"Since there is no such thing, what are you waiting for, open the seal!" Zhang Lie said angrily.

Jiang Song's brows tightened, and he thought to himself: "The people sent by the prince have not allowed the dossier to be burned, saying that everything has been arranged, and they will only wait for Zhang Lie and Sui Xi to come and burn them again, so that these two old horsemen will be on the same boat with us." Could it be that the prince's envoy actually wanted to assassinate these two? What's the point? Or are the people of the Five Princes on guard and want to warn these two old horsemen in advance? ”

"Two Qincha, please inside!" Jiang Song was annoyed in his heart, after opening the file, the case would basically come to light, and the previous plan might fall through.

A few people were just about to go to the inner courtyard of the Gongyuan, when suddenly a soldier came in and reported: "A few adults, there is a group of people outside who want to break in, and the person who takes the lead claims to be ...... Princess Moonin! ”

"What are you kidding? Princess Moonin? Why don't you say that Your Majesty came in person and took down the people who were pretending to be princesses outside! Jiang Song was angry and shouted angrily.

At this moment, a sonorous and powerful woman's voice came from the door of the main hall: "Who wants to take down this princess?" ”

Between the words, a group of black-clothed people came in with torches, and a woman in black was holding a golden sword in her hand, that is, the sword of Shang Fang, such a sword given by the emperor can be cut first and then played by officials, and behind the woman in black, a red big man walked in, Jiang Song also looked at it after seeing it, this look, he had seen it in the autumn sacrifice in the suburbs of Beijing, it was Princess Wenren Zhao Yuanrong.

"Gong ...... Princess? "Sui Xi is a Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, and his official position is not high, but because he serves in the Ministry of Rites, he will be responsible for some palace sacrifice activities, and he has met with Zhao Yuanrong the most, and when he sees Zhao Yuanrong, the wine will completely wake up.

Originally, there were officers and soldiers in the tribute courtyard who surrounded Zhao Yuanrong and his party, facing each other with swords, but at this time, even Qincha admitted that this was the famous Princess Wenren, and the rest of the people hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Get up and speak!" Zhao Yuanrong looked full of bearing, and her words were also aggressive, which made people feel her majesty.

The officials present just bowed and saluted, and when they heard Zhao Yuanrong's words, they straightened up, and several people walked over under Zhang Lie's lead. Zhang Lie said with a sad face: "Princess...... Why is it coming? You're not...... Far away in the capital? ”

Zhao Yuanrong said: "Your Majesty sent the palace to inspect the people's livelihood in various parts of the Yangtze River, and the palace passed through Jinling, and heard that there was a bribery case in Jinling City and Countryside Trial, and the palace came to investigate in person!" ”

"This ......" Zhang Lie looked at some local officials next to him, and he was also wondering who leaked the news of the Tribute Academy, "Your Royal Highness Princess, Feng Xuanqing, who is now only one of the main exams, committed suicide, whether it involves bribery or not, we will only know after verification." ”

"Are you trying to deceive Hongu?" Zhao Yuanrong said sharply.

"Don't dare, Your Royal Highness the princess, this case ...... It is true that there is no conclusion yet, and it is too early to say that bribery must have occurred at this time! The princess is a daughter, so it is better that this case should not be involved! Jiang Song was afraid that Princess Wenren would be involved in the case, so he hurriedly explained the situation and prevented Zhao Yuanrong from interfering in the case.

Zhao Yuanrong sneered: "After the Jinling Township trial list, some people with wine bags and rice bags were raised in the examination, and the people were not convinced, the scholars cried in the temple, and the chief examiner of the hall died in the tribute courtyard, saying that he committed suicide in fear of crime, but it is very likely that he died of murder, you actually told the palace that this case has not yet been decided?" Hmph, this palace is here to make a final conclusion on this case, come here, bring all the files of this case to the front hall! ”

"Princess, you ...... Cannot! Zhang Lie also stepped forward to stop at this time, "The princess came to inspect the local people's livelihood on the order of the emperor, not to investigate the case, the minister and Sui Langzhong are the envoys of His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the case!" ”

"This palace is going to take over, so you just want to fight against this palace?" Zhao Yuanrong looked at Zhang Lie coldly.

"This ...... This case should be investigated by someone appointed by His Majesty. Even if the princess is a royal prince and noble, she can't destroy the law of the court, and ask the princess to avoid this case! Zhang Lie stepped forward to block Zhao Yuanrong's approach in the form of admonitions.

"Okay." Zhao Yuanrong said sharply, "You say the Fadu with the palace, then the palace will show you, what is the Fadu, come here, the palace suspects that Zhang Vice Xian is covering up the sculprit in this case, and decides to cut it first and drag it out!" ”

"Princess, ...... you" Zhang Lie was dumbfounded when he heard it, as the left deputy capital imperial history, he was the second in command in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and now he came to the place to investigate the case, and he was going to be killed without even going through the court, he didn't expect it.

Although Zhao Yuanrong's move seems to be very reckless, in fact, Zhao Yuanrong does have such power.

Zhang Lie's body was shocked, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but Sui Xi reacted in time, and he hurriedly pleaded: "The princess was sent by His Majesty to investigate the people's livelihood, and the princess should be the biggest in all this, Zhang Vice Xian is definitely not shielding sinners, but ...... Blinded for a while, please forgive the princess! ”

"Yes, princess, please calm your anger!" This time, even Jiang Song had to come out to intercede, and if Zhao Yuanrong killed Qin Cha Zhang Lie, it would be even more difficult for the case to end.

Zhao Yuanrong looked at Zhang Lie and said, "Zhang Vice Xian, what do you think?" ”

"Princess...... To investigate this case thoroughly, the minister ...... No objection! In order to save his life, Zhang Lie didn't dare to fight against Zhao Yuanrong anymore, it was easy for Zhao Yuanrong to kill him, and if he died, the emperor would not let Princess Wenren lose his life, at most he would scold him, and he would die in vain.
