This time, in addition to Ji Gang's clever tongue making something out of nothing, he also added the important figure of the second prince Zhu Gaoxu, which is really a big deal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Yang Qiuchi still doesn't know Zhu Gaoxu's status in Ming Chengzu's heart, he knows one thing, that is, Zhu Gaochu is the emperor's son, and judging from the fact that the emperor handed over his famous Tiance Wei to him, his relationship with the emperor is extraordinary.

Yang Qiuchi felt that the situation was not good, and with the experience of being framed last time, he felt that his strength was probably not enough to confront Zhu Gaoxu and Ji Gang, and he was so nervous that cold sweat began to fall. This time, due to the pre-perception, it was even more terrifying than the last time.

After waiting for a long time, I saw several brocade guards escorting Yun Qi out of the five-flowered tie-up and pushing him out. Ji Gangyin smiled and followed behind. Yun was stunned and shouted, "Wronged! I didn't kill anyone! Master Hou, Yunlu, save me! ”

Yun Lu was shocked, rushed up and hugged Yun Suan, and said urgently: "Brother! What's going on? ”

Yun was so frightened that his face was deformed, and he hissed: "Ji Gang, they ...... They said that I had killed someone, and the emperor ordered that I be pushed out of the noon gate court staff for a hundred and punished by Ji Gang! ”

Yang Qiuchi's heart sank, a hundred canes were not a joke, not to mention that it was Ji Gang's prison, as long as this old boy flicked his feet inward, Yun was stunned and would die, even if Ming Chengzu had an order to keep him alive, Ji Gang could also report that he was tortured but died, even if he was not killed, he was beaten into a super cripple or even a vegetative person, it would be over.

Yunlu was even more shocked, hugging her brother tightly: "No! No, it won't! Wait, I want to see the emperor, brother, you didn't kill anyone! They framed you! I want to see the emperor! …… Get out of here! Don't touch my brother! Or I'll kill you! As he spoke, he kicked the escorted Jinyi guards with his foot.

How dare a few brocade guards make a move with the princess, the master wants to hit someone, they don't even dare to dodge, let alone back down.

Ji Gang said with a smile: "Princess Yunlu, although Yun Lu killed someone, the emperor is magnificent, he is a royal family, and he is among the eight discussions, so he is exempted from death, and the court staff is a hundred things, it doesn't matter, the humble position will let them serve and fight carefully, don't worry." ”

"Phew!" Yunlu spat at Ji Gang, "You dog-thief with a human face and a beast's heart, if you dare to touch my brother, I will kill you!" ”

Yunlu is a princess, that is the master, Ji Gang didn't dare to offend, and smiled embarrassedly: "Acting in accordance with the holy order, please forgive the princess!" With a wave of his hand, the brocade guards were about to come up again to pull the clouds into a daze.

Yun Lu hugged Yun Xuan, kicked those brocade guards, and cried to Yang Qiuchi: "Brother Qiuchi, they want to kill my brother!" You save my brother......! ”

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly stepped forward and said to Ji Gang: "The Yun Xuan case has not been clarified, so you can't just be executed, wait until I see the emperor!" ”

Ji Gang sneered: "Waiting for you? What kind of thing are you, this official was executed by holy order, who would dare to stop it? Take! ”

The brocade guards rushed up again, and Yang Qiuchi was so angry that he picked up his fists and hit, dividing three strikes and five by two, knocking these people to the ground.

In fact, although these executioners are not first-class masters, their martial arts are not weak, if they really want to fight, Yang Qiuchi may not be an opponent, but now on one side is the commander of Jinyiwei, and on the other hand, the deputy commander and princess, this situation makes them at a loss, several people are very clever, just Yang Qiuchi did it, they didn't have the courage to put it right with the deputy commander, and secondly, they just pretended to faint and avoided this level. As a result, several people were beaten down by Yang Qiuchi.

Ji Gang is not good at this kind of close-quarters short fight, coupled with the initial recovery from serious injuries, his legs and feet are not dexterous, he didn't dare to step forward with crutches, pointed at Yang Qiuchi and shouted: "You...... How dare you kidnap the Chin! ”

"You dog thief will order anything other than spewing blood?" Yang Qiuchi sneered.

At this moment, a eunuch came out of the house and shouted: "The emperor has issued an edict, Yang Qiuchi, the distant marquis of Xuanzhen, and Yunlu, the princess of Qingxi, will see you!" ”

Yun Lu cried and hugged Yun Lu and walked into the house: "Brother! Let's see the emperor, we can't be bullied by them like this! ”

The three of them entered the house, and Ji Gang also limped in. Tilting his head and shouting, "Your Majesty, they have kidnapped the Qin prisoner!" ”

Yang Qiuchi saw Ming Chengzu's face cold at a glance, and he chuckled in his heart, secretly screaming that it was not good. This look is too familiar, the last time he was framed by Ji Gang, Ming Chengzu looked at him with this kind of look, could it be that this time he was finally forced to use a pistol?

Yang Qiuchi knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, in the case of Yun Xuan's murder, Weichen has something to say." ”

Yun Lu was still holding her brother Yun stunned, for fear that others would snatch him away, and cried and said, "Father! My brother was wronged! You can't just kill him! ”

Ming Chengzu said: "Lu'er, the prince broke the law, and he is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, your brother killed someone, there are many people to prove that the victim's body is still there, which can be corroborated, this evidence is indeed sufficient, what do you let your father do?" His father had already spared him from the death penalty according to the Eight Deliberations, and the court staff was one hundred ......."

"No~! A hundred rods and he will die! Yunlu cried, "My brother didn't kill anyone!" They wronged him! ”

Ming Chengzu frowned slightly: "Lu'er~!" You go back first, and Ming said that the father and emperor came to see you in the first place! Okay? Ming Chengzu turned to Li Gonggong and said, "Let the female official in the palace send Lu'er back first." ”

Gonggong Li bowed down and agreed, and was about to go out to greet the female official.

Yun Lu hugged Yun stunned tightly and hissed, "No! I'm not going back! Father, you can't kill my brother! My brother is a wronged ......! ”

Yun Xuan's face turned pale with fright, and he muttered in his mouth: "I was wronged...... I'm wronged......" I don't know what to say except for this sentence.

Yang Qiuchi kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the case of Yun Xuan's murder has not yet been clarified, so you can't be so hasty and severely punished!" ”

The second prince, Zhu Gaoxu, sneered: "What kind of thing are you, the case that my father personally interrogated, you dare to say it clearly!" What a rebellion! ”

Yang Qiuchi knew that just now these two people affirmed that you and I had already given the case a surname, these two people, one was the second prince whom Ming Chengzu wanted to support as his successor, and the other was the most trusted minister who had always been favored, how could there be anything else to say. Since this case was approved by the emperor, if you want to turn it over, you can only make a surprise move.

Yang Qiuchi said loudly: "Your Majesty, even if Yun Du killed someone, it was for a reason, it was Ji Gang who first sent someone to kill Xue Lu Xue Dudu's concubine, and when Yun Du was investigating the case and arresting the suspect, he was attacked by bandits, which caused the accidental injury!" ”

Yang Qiuchi first affirmed the emperor's verdict, so as not to make him resist, and at the same time led to the murder of Xue Lu's concubine, Xue Lu is also a close confidant of Ming Chengzu, only in this way will it attract the attention of Ming Chengzu.

Sure enough, Ming Chengzu sighed, stared at Yang Qiuchi, and for a long time, then raised his hand to signal him to calm down. Then he said with a displeased face: "Yang Aiqing, you instigated Lu'er to attack the Beizhen Fusi in an attempt to kidnap the Imperial Prison, I haven't asked you about your guilt, what nonsense are you talking about the murder of Xue Dudu's concubine, what Ji Aiqing instigated, you reversed black and white, confused the public, what are you going to do?" ”

Although Ming Chengzu's words were quite bad, Yang Qiuchi's heart was still slightly wider, at least this time Ming Chengzu let himself stand up and speak, and did not let himself kneel all the time like last time, it may be that the emperor still has a little doubt about what Ji Gang said, or it may be that Ming Chengzu's idea of supporting himself is working.

Yang Qiuchi bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is a long story, and the Yun Xuan murder case also started from this. Can the emperor listen to the ministers one by one? ”

Before Ming Chengzu could speak, the second prince Zhu Gaoxu had already preemptively said: "Cut!" Father has so many important military affairs to deal with, how can I have time to listen to your nagging! ”

Ji Gang also helped: "Yes, the case tried by the emperor himself, how can you still talk about it?" What a thing that doesn't know whether to live or die! ”

Yang Qiuchi saw that Ming Chengzu's brows were furrowed, his face was displeased, and he didn't care about fighting with them, so he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Yun Xuan is the son of King Miao, even if he commits a felony of murder, if he doesn't ask for clarification, he will be hastily punished, I'm afraid King Miao will not accept it!" ”

The second prince, Zhu Gaoxu, shouted: "Bold! Dare to use King Miao to threaten my father, what is King Miao? Instead, I led a team of men and horses, stepped on his Miao Jiang, and carried his head back to hang above the city gate! ”

Ming Chengzu snorted heavily, his face was full of displeasure, and he turned to Zhu Gaoxu and said: "Gaoxu, you have to remember that the Miao people have been dissatisfied with the king for a long time, and the successive dynasties have repeatedly conquered and suppressed the people, labored the people and lost money, and the results have been little, so if you can use appeasement, you must not use swords and soldiers in vain." Do you understand? ”

Zhu Gaoxu immediately understood that Ming Chengzu was telling himself the key to governing the country, and the meaning of this was already very clear, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Yes!" Sons and daughters remember the teachings of their father! ”

Ming Chengzu nodded and said: "What Yang Aiqing said is also reasonable, or not, Yang Aiqing is in charge of the Nanzhen Fu Division, picketing Jinyiwei law and discipline, this cloud is Jinyiwei, he broke the law, naturally he should be interrogated by Yang Aiqing first, although I have already tried it, it doesn't hurt to listen to Yang Aiqing's opinion, and I will have an explanation with King Miao in the future." ”

Ming Chengzu's words just now have always made Zhu Gaoxu's heart happy, so he didn't particularly care about Ming Chengzu's words, so he didn't make any more trouble. Since he didn't speak, and Ming Chengzu's attitude was already very clear, Ji Gang was helpless.

When Yang Qiuchi heard the emperor's words, he was overjoyed, bowed down and said, "This matter starts with the murder of Xue Luai's concubine. After the court this morning, Lord Xue Luxue of the Governor's Mansion invited the lowly to his mansion as a guest, and reported to the lowly office that his concubine Xulingzi was killed in the room, and two other maids in the same room were killed at the same time. Helplessly, the real culprit was not arrested. Xue Lu asked Wechen to investigate the case......"

Ming Chengzu frowned slightly: "...... Xue Lu's concubine was killed?" What's going on? ”

Yang Qiuchi squinted his eyes, saw Ji Gang's face change slightly, and suddenly his heart brightened, and he bowed his head and said: "Lord Xue Dudu has newly married a concubine, this concubine room turned out to be a Taoist aunt of the Taoist temple, the Taoist name is Xulingzi, beautiful as a flower, Lord Ji seems to have taken a fancy to this Taoist aunt......"

"Nonsense! There is no such thing......! Ji Gang said hurriedly.

Ming Chengzu snorted, glanced at Ji Gang, and Ji Gang hurriedly shut up.

Yang Qiuchi's heart was wide again, it seemed that Ming Chengzu was not as gullible as he was before this time, as long as he could let himself speak, there was nothing unspeakable.

Yang Qiuchi continued: "Lord Ji asked Lord Xue Dudu for this beautiful girl, but Lord Xue Dudu refused. Soon after, this Mei Ji was killed at home! Two other maids were killed and their heads were almost cut off. ”

Ming Chengzu sighed: "Is there really such a thing?" ”

"Wechen dares to vouch for his surname!" Yang Qiuchi bowed and said, "At noon, Weichen was invited by Xue Dudu to conduct an open coffin autopsy, and found that Lord Xue Dudu's beloved concubine Xu Lingzi was killed by a knife in her heart, and two maids were killed by someone who had their necks cut off. ”

Ming Chengzu was convinced of Yang Qiuchi's ability to investigate the murder. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Why haven't I heard Xue Aiqing say this?" ”

"Xue Dudu is cautious, the emperor is very careful, how can he have time to take care of such trivial things, so Xue Dudu only reported the case in Yingtianfu Yamen, and did not alarm the emperor, not to mention, this is just a drop in the ocean compared to the other misery suffered by Xue Dudu."

Ming Chengzu frowned slightly: "How do you say this?" ”

Yang Qiuchi glanced at Ji Gang, seeing that his expression was a little flustered, since Xue Lu had already said that he was complicit in advancing and retreating, if he didn't say this matter at this time, there would be no such a good opportunity, so he turned his heart sideways, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, did Xue Dudu not be able to go to court for nearly a month last year?" ”

Ming Chengzu thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right, it seems to say that he is sick." He turned his head to look at Gonggong Li, "Old Li, is this the case?" ”

Gonggong Li bowed and said, "Yes...... Lord Xue reported it like this at the time." ”

Yang Qiuchi said: "That's not the case! Lord Xue was not sick, but was beaten on the head with an iron in the palace by Ji Gang, and his head was almost broken, and he could not get up after lying at home for more than a month. Many people have seen this, but they dare not speak out......"

"Nonsense!" Ji Gang roared, "Lord Yang, what do you mean by framing this official like this? ”

"Haha, it turns out that you are also afraid of being framed by others? It's just that I, Yang Qiuchi, never like to frame others, unlike some people, except for making false accusations and framing out of nothing, I don't have fart skills! Yang Qiuchi sneered, turned to Ming Chengzu and said, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, he will summon Lord Xue Dudu and ask!" Or ask the bureaucrats who were in the palace at that time, and there must be impartial people! ”

Ming Chengzu waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's not talk about this matter, you can continue what you just said." ”

Yang Qiuchi was a little strange, this matter involved whether he framed the emperor's most favored minister, Ji Gang, how could the emperor spare it lightly? As soon as he sighed, he immediately understood that this incident happened in the palace, and so many people were present at that time to see it, how could the emperor have been kept in the dark? The emperor must have known, but since Xue Lu didn't mention it, he didn't have more than one thing, and connived at Ji Gang's evil deeds.

Yang Qiuchi continued: "After Wei Chen inspected the body, he found that the murderer of Xue Dudu's concubine Xu Lingzi was suffering from flower willow disease, and at the same time, there was a gap in the murder weapon he used, according to these two clues, the suspect was locked in Ji Gang's escort team named Lin Yuan, Yun Su was responsible for the appeasement of the picket Jinyi Wei Law and Discipline, Wei Chen immediately assigned Yun Shu to take the pickets to Liuhua Hutong to arrest Lin Yuan. ”

When Ji Gang heard this, a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which was keenly captured by Yang Qiuchi, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, what is this Ji Gang smiling proudly? Could it be that Lin Yuan was not a murderer at all, so he was very relieved?

At this moment, Flawless pondered this question, Yang Qiuchi continued: "Wei Chen asked the Jinyi Wei who was present at the time and learned that after they caught Lin Yuan, they were suddenly attacked by a group of unknown people, and Yun was seriously injured and fell to the ground, and then a corpse was found at the scene, with Yun Xuan's embroidered spring knife inserted on it, and then, Ji Gang's people came, and without ascertaining the facts, they framed Yun Yuan and killed someone, beat him violently, and then arrested him. ”

"Yang Aiqing, what you said is different from the verified situation." Ming Chengzu had a cold face, and picked up a stack of testimonies on the table: "These are the testimonies of the old bustard of the Mianchun Building, a number of turtles and the witnesses who were present to prove that Yun was indeed misbehaving, wearing a flying fish suit and taking the guards to the Qinglou to look for flowers and ask willows, drinking and causing trouble, and competing with other scoopers to be jealous, which led to a fight, and in the fight, Yun stunned slashed a scoop guest seven or eight times, until he died on the spot. After Ji Aiqing received the report, he sent people to rush there, but Yun was stunned and wanted to continue to commit murder with weapons, and Ji Aiqing's people had no choice but to arrest him. Ming Chengzu patted the stack of testimonies on the table again: "These are the testimonies of the Jinyi Wei who went to arrest them. The evidence is conclusive, how can it still be framed? ”

Yun was stunned and hissed: "Your Majesty, those are all framed by Ji Gang, not true!" I didn't kill anyone. I am on the orders of Deputy Commander Yang to arrest the criminals......"

Ji Gang shouted: "Shut up! You stayed in Fireworks Willow Lane, fought with the scoop and became jealous, resulting in a fight, hacking a scoop to death, the evidence of this matter is conclusive, it is conclusive, you still want to quibble? Squinted at Yang Qiuchi, and said with a smug smile: "Yun stunned, let me remind you, in the next life, you must find a good master, don't look for those who are soft and don't do anything, and always think that they are great people as masters, so that you don't know how to die!" ”

Yang Qiuchi turned a deaf ear to Ji Gang's ridicule, and he was nervously thinking about what to do.

Now the situation is very tricky, this Ji Gang is really not ordinary, those old bustards and turtle fathers are under his silver power, who dares to say a word, of course, obediently state according to his words, as for those so-called witnesses, maybe they are the people arranged by Ji Gang.

Purely from the perspective of evidence, there are many eyewitnesses in this case, and there is a stunned embroidered spring knife inserted into the body of the deceased, such evidence, even if it is obtained now, it can be regarded as relatively sufficient. Ming Chengzu wants to decide the case according to this, and it is reasonable to ask Yun stunned about the sin court.
