Jinling Mansion.

The mirror is hung high, under the plaque, the tables and chairs are neat, solemn and majestic, and the two sides of the officials under the hall stand solemnly, neatly and neatly.

Behind the table and chairs, the curtains were pulled up, and the golden ripples shook gently. The scene looms inside. Behind the officials, the tables and chairs were neat, and there were also curtains behind them, but the color was pale white.

It didn't take long for people to come to the lobby one after another, but the atmosphere was depressed and solemn, and the faces of the people who came in changed slightly, and they soon walked towards their positions. I don't know who arranged it, and none of them are familiar with each other.

The tables and chairs on both sides of the officials were soon full, and after a long time, from the side doors on both sides, figures walked in one by one, entered the curtains on both sides, and sat down quietly.

But no one spoke, quietly, except for the occasional sound of teacups rubbing and drinking water, and there was silence in the huge lobby.

Fu Li sat on the chair, his eyes closed indifferently, and beside him sat a cabinet elder such as Gao Qi Lockdown. The expressions of several people were almost the same, all of them closed their eyes and recuperated, wandering out of the world, with expressionless faces.

And the tables and chairs in front, the members of the six departments, the imperial history platform of Dali Temple in Jinling Mansion and the imperial forest army and other commanders were also present, with the same solemn face and not squinting.

King Zheng and Princess Li were also there, but they were not in the mood to chat, sitting on the chair, their thoughtful expressions were silent.

And the martial apprentice and Wu Qingning were also sitting, and down to their right, it was Fu Mingzheng and Zhou Qi who were involved in the case but had a special identity.

Everything that is involved, and what should come, is almost all together today.

Now that the storm was in front of them, everyone was cautious, not even daring to catch their breath, and sat in their respective positions, their eyes flashing with different expressions.

After a long time, after the table and chairs of Fu Yin, the golden curtain suddenly moved, and then the curtain was lifted and the two figures walked in from the east gate one after the other. Although they couldn't see the looks of the two of them clearly, their every move was noble and glorious, and they could not be forced.

"The ministers have seen the emperor and the queen."

As soon as the two figures sat down, the ministers in the drapery of the tables and chairs on both sides immediately stood up one after another, and respectfully hugged their fists.

"See the Emperor and the Queen"

The officials on both sides also immediately knelt down and shouted loudly.

Zhou Yanzhao behind the golden curtain waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's all be flat, I am also a spectator today." ”

"Emperor Xie!"

When they heard this, they got up and sat back. However, his face changed slightly, and the emperor's words seemed to have something to say.

The words of big people, especially the words of the emperor, always have to be carefully pondered, and they often hide their joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

Does it mean that his attitude today is that he will not interfere in the trial? ’

Is it to us, the courtiers, that we are not allowed to interfere in the trial? ’

Or is it a warning to some people, or is it a hint of something? ’

Many people had all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, and they all waited and thought quietly with cold expressions.

Inside the curtain, the emperor smiled lightly while drinking tea, his eyes wandering below, with a playful smile in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, everyone is ready?" The queen looked around, saw that the tables and chairs were full, and whispered to the emperor.

Zhou Yanzhao put down the teacup and said with a smile: "There is still one missing." ”

The queen stared, and found that Fu Yin's chair was empty, and her eyes showed a hint of strangeness, and said, "What is he?" ”

The queen naturally knows Wei Qiao, but she doesn't know much about Wei Qiao's personality. Now that they've all arrived, but he hasn't, it's kind of weird.

The emperor coughed, and said in a loud voice: "Shao Aiqing, are you all together?" ”

Shao Yi almost sat at the end, sweating all the time to accompany the careful, as soon as he heard the emperor's question, he hurriedly came out of the ranks, hugged his fists and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the Imperial History Guard Zhongcheng has not yet arrived." ”

Zhou Yanzhao nodded and said, "Well, then wait a little longer." ”

Shao Yi promised a 'yes' and quietly retreated. But my heart kept pounding. Now almost all the members of the Manchu Dynasty have come, but there is a lack of guards. If the emperor is angry, maybe it will be a sin.

Naturally, the others also muttered in their hearts, this Wei Qiao is too bold, he actually let so many people, the members of the six ministries, the cabinet elders, and the emperor and empress all wait for him, Wen Zhengchao has been twenty years, and this kind of thing has not happened!

Fu Li's eyes opened a gap, swept around lightly, lowered his eyes and didn't know whether it was 'um' or 'hum', and made a little noise, and then continued to close his eyes as if nothing happened.

As soon as Fu Li's voice fell, everyone's hearts jumped. His eyes looked at the place where the sound came from, and he was apprehensive.

Fu Li naturally wouldn't snort like this for no reason, he must have a good intention in doing this.

'Is it for the Weiqiao platform?' ’

'Or warn whom?' ’

Or is it to show his presence? ’

Everyone thought carefully in their hearts, and their faces became more and more solemn and respectful.

This has not even begun, the situation is so complicated, and everyone is becoming more and more cautious.

The warrior gently tapped the chair with one hand, and the tiger's eyes were calm, but there were wisps of essence flickering.

'My warrior's daughter is not so easy to marry, let me see today whether my warrior's son-in-law is a dragon or a worm! ’

Wu Qingning's pretty face was cold, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were quietly staring at a book of poems in his hand, and he held it gently with his fair hand.

-- This was given to her by Li Xiluan when she went to Weifu yesterday.

Although Li Xiluan has not been to Wei Qiao's courtyard a few times, Wei Qiao, as a man, will inevitably get carried away and show off in front of his own women. And Li Xiluan is the kind of more traditional woman, although she doesn't say anything about love and love, she still regards Wei Qiao as a lifelong reliance in her heart.

She would quietly write down Wei Qiao's poems every time she 'made', and occasionally she would know some from Wan'er Xiangling's mouth, so as soon as she was long, she collected more than 20 poems from Wei Qiao. That day, he had a 'very happy conversation' with Wu Qingning, so he personally copied a copy to Wu Qingning.

Naturally, there are several good intentions in this.

Wu Qingning won't think about it so much, she just needs to confirm that Li Xiluan is a good person. She looked at the poems quietly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth seemed to have never changed.

Fu Mingzheng looked at Wu Qingning's smile like a lotus blooming, and his eyes were also very surprised. But he knows that this Miss Wu never laughs, and now, she has a smile on her face all the time?

Fu Mingzheng quietly leaned over, and only saw two sentences at a glance: the clothes and belts gradually widened and did not regret it, and he was haggard for Yi.

Fu Mingzheng's expression was slightly plench, and then a smile flashed in his eyes, and he secretly screamed in his heart, 'Heh, good boy!' ’

Luo Tong also sat in the curtain, with an indifferent face, glanced at King Zheng not far away, and shook his head slightly. King Zheng is really not as good as King Jin, King Jin can not come today, not only courage, but also strength!

Niu Yilang, who was waiting for Wei Qiao outside Jinling Mansion, turned around anxiously, and for a long time, he still didn't see Wei Qiao's sedan chair at the head of the road, looked up at the sky, and said, "What time is it?" ”

One of the guards on one side hurriedly said, "Lord Hui, it's three quarters." ”

When Niu Yilang heard this, his face became even more anxious, the emperor was waiting with the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces, and Wei Qiao was still nowhere to be seen at this time, isn't this going to kill people in a hurry?

"My lord, Lord Wei's sedan chair is here." A guard's eyes were sharp, and suddenly he saw a sedan chair slowly walking over on the road, and hurriedly said.

When Niu Yilang heard this, he hurriedly looked at it, and then trotted over, and the sedan chair that stopped Wei Qiao said urgently: "Liyuan, hurry up, the emperor's elders are waiting." ”

Wei Qiao was sitting in the sedan chair for a long time, and when he saw Niu Yilang's anxious look, he wondered: "They came so early?" According to his understanding, shouldn't these people have arrived late and last?

Niu Yilang had the heart to cry, so he pulled Wei Qiao and left, saying as he walked: "My Lord Wei, the emperor has already come, just waiting for you." ”

When Wei Qiao heard this, a terrible picture immediately appeared in his mind, and he immediately began to sweat on his head.

This is all an occupational disease, he used to step on the point to work, and he was used to thinking that the big names were to highlight their important surnames at the last moment. Unexpectedly, this time was different.

followed Niu Yilang to the lobby of Jinling Mansion, Niu Yilang panted and said, "Liyuan, I won't go in, you go in quickly." ”

Wei Qiao knew that he couldn't get in with his qualifications, so he took a deep breath and said, "Brother Niu will rest for a while, and I'll go in first." ”

After speaking, he sorted out his clothes and strode towards the lobby.

Wei Qiao looked up at the big plaque of the three words of Jinling Mansion, sighed in his heart, stiffened his head, and raised his feet up the steps.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt murderous, like falling into an ice cave.

A large hall full of people, whether they were hiding or hiding, noble or carrying wooden sticks, all looked at him in unison, as if they wanted to see through him.

There are various meanings in the eyes of these people, Rao is Wei Qiao has seen some big scenes, and at this time, he can't help but feel a little heartbeat, and his face is unnatural. The gaze of these people seemed to be eager to pierce his flesh and skin, shuttling back and forth several times, extremely sharp and stinging, making his heart blocked.

On the other hand, the lobby gave him a cold, quiet, empty, and a little sense of calmness.

The lobby was full of people, but the air was overflowing, and there was no sound quietly, Wei Qiao felt as if he had entered the lobby of Jinling Mansion, but a bit like a haunted house, cold and foggy.

After a long time, the emperor behind the golden curtain coughed lightly and said, "It's Wei Liyuan?" ”

Wei Qiao was stunned, and his heart trembled fiercely. suppressed the trembling heart, hurriedly took a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee and said, "Minister Weiqiao, knock to see the emperor!" ”

Zhou Yanzhao glanced at him and said with a smile: "Well, get up." I know it's your first time, and nervousness is inevitable. Well, you can judge it, I took the queen out for a walk, and by the way, take a look at her godson-in-law. ”

As soon as the emperor's voice fell, everyone's thoughts rolled again. They didn't think that the emperor was ignoring them and casually talking to Wei Qiao, there must be some kind of hint in his words.

Wu Qing looked at Wei Qiao quietly, and then looked at the golden curtain again, his pretty face seemed to have something to say, but he pursed his lips and didn't make a sound.

Wei Qiao didn't think too much, stood up and hugged his fists and said, "It's the emperor." ”

Wei Qiao put down his hand and was just about to walk to the chair where Fu Yin was sitting, when the queen's voice suddenly sounded again, "Qingning, come here, sit here in the palace." ”

The curtain where Wu Qingning was located was silent for a while, and a crisp and pleasant bell sounded: "Yes."

A beautiful white figure shuttled through the pale white curtains, and soon appeared in the golden curtains. Then a very low voice of narration was heard.

Wei Qiao said that it was impossible not to be nervous, he sat upright on the chair, put his hands on the table, and swept his eyes indifferently under the hall. At the same time, his heart was pounding, even if he was prepared and imagined, he was still at a loss for a while.

He couldn't see the characters in the curtain, but he could see the officials of the six ministries and others behind the officials, but he didn't know much, most of them were unfamiliar faces, but only a few people he knew were enough to make his heart beat faster.

And everyone is naturally observing Wei Qiao, Yan Chongli, and Wang Yuanhui, and the two are the worst, naturally, others will not be far behind. At this time, as long as the news has passed six ears, it will be difficult to keep it secret, and now the news of the six departments has already spread all over Jinling. I don't know how many people are thinking about the chair under anyone's buttocks, and which one is walking on thin ice without trembling.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, Wei Qiao was shocked and shouted: "Ascension!" ”

“…… Power...... Wu ......"

The officials on both sides immediately roared, and the sticks and logs struck the ground to shock the audience.

Wei Qiao's action scared everyone.

Zhou Yanzhao leaned on the bench, the three golden balls in his hand suddenly froze, and then looked at Wei Qiao's back with a smile in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to it.

The queen patted her chest, sighed darkly, took Wu Qingning's hand, and said, "Your future husband almost scared me to death." ”

Wu Qingning looked at the queen's startled expression, turned his head to look at Wei Qiao's back, pursed his lips, and said crisply: "He didn't mean it." ”

The queen looked at Wu Qingning and said with a straight face: "This palace thinks he did it on purpose." ”

Wu Qingning's eyes blinked, and then he seemed to be embarrassed, pursed his lips, and spoke again after a long time: "No." "Although the sound was as crisp and pleasant as before, there was a hint of something else.

Explained, affirmed, unquestionable?

The queen was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile and said, "Well, that's not it." "She's also a person who has killed people on horseback, so how can she really be frightened by the slightest noise.

Wei Qiao took advantage of this loud sound to quietly relieve the pressure in his heart, looked around again, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Take someone to commit Yan Song!" ”

"Bringing people to commit a strict ......"

Outside the gate, there was an immediate echo.

When Wei Qiao's voice fell, everyone immediately held their breath, everyone knew that the critical moment was coming.

Soon, Yan Song, who was covered in shackles and a mess, was dragged in.

Yan Song stretched out his head blankly, and when he saw the people sitting on both sides, he wanted to shout at first, but his face changed immediately. He noticed that his father was sitting quite far back, and there were many people he knew who were not in the front of him. Maybe he doesn't know people, but he knows the court clothes! Soon, his eyes were full of horror, the official uniform of the third grade, the second grade, and even the first grade, Yan Song, who was already frightened, was even more flustered at this time, and his face was full of horror.

Two officials pressed him to the foot of the hall and shouted, "Kneel." ”

Yan Song trembled, knelt on the ground, and slowly looked up, he didn't know Wei Qiao but was just a little familiar, he glanced at it quietly, and the afterglow began to scan left and right again. When he saw that everyone was expressionless, he made a 'bang', kowtowed violently, and cried: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, I confess my guilt, I confess everything, I confess everything......"

Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly it was another shock!

“…… Power...... Wu ......"

Immediately, the officials on both sides knocked on the ground again and shouted loudly.

Yan Song immediately kowtowed again, and then blood flowed out of his head, looked up at Wei Qiao and said loudly, "I confess, I confess, my lord, I really confess!" ”

Wei Qiao stared at him with a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "Yan Song, since you confess your guilt, then you will be recruited from the truth!" ”

"Yes, my lord" Yan Song trembled his body, his eyes shook and said: "Then I said that I was walking around Mochou Lake and accidentally found ......"

"Bastard!" Wei Qiao slapped the shocked wood, and shouted with a calm brow: "This official asked you to recruit from the truth!" When, where, why, process, tell me in detail! ”

Yan Song's body trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it was six days ago, Brother Zhou asked me to go to Mochou Lake to eat ......."

Wei Qiao interrupted him again and said coldly, "Which one is Brother Zhou?" Say the specific name! Make everything clear, and don't let the official ask! After saying that, he turned his head to look at the scribe on the side, and said, "Write down every word he says." ”

The scribe was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord." ”

Yan Song swallowed his saliva, quietly looked around again, and saw that no one stood up to speak for him, his heart suddenly cooled for most of the time, and he cowered and said: "It's my lord, six days ago, Zhou Tai asked me to go to Mochou Lake to eat prawns, we went to a restaurant, and saw a beautiful woman, so we bet that whoever can get the woman's heart will win a night in the sky of the top brand of the drunken Fenglou......"

"Okay, stop!" Wei Qiao waved his hand, his face was calm, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said loudly: "Come here, pass on the official's order, and bring Zhou Tai to confront him!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The officials below immediately agreed and ran out quickly.

If so many people are present, don't talk about a Zhou Tai, even if it is King Xuanjin, he has to come!

Luo Tong looked at Wei Qiao's side face, frowned slightly, and quietly clenched his slender hands.

Although she has seen the way forward and has given up on the impossible goal. is also extremely disappointed in Zhou Tai, but Zhou Tai is her son after all, her lifeline, and her reliance for the rest of her life, how can she be indifferent and not wholeheartedly plan for him.

She didn't know what Wei Qiao was thinking, now that the surroundings were full of people, she was not sure that she would be able to protect Zhou Tai, and she didn't have much confidence in Wei Qiao, after all, Wei Qiao had great potential, but he was still a young eagle at the moment.

As for the 'accident' that day, she just wanted to use that little bit of fragrant accident to bring the relationship closer to the two, after all, in an ambiguous environment, men often make some concessions that are difficult to achieve by other means, which can be regarded as a small means for a beautiful woman.

But if Wei Qiao let Zhou Tai go with that little thing alone, then Luo Tong would not use the method of 'seduction'.

Therefore, she was very flustered now, and even began to look at the golden curtain behind Wei Qiao.
