Chapter 48: The Trial of the Temple (1) (First Update)
Siqi slept in Zhang's mansion last night, and only listened to Zhang Whale come back in the middle of the night, and went out of the door again as soon as it was dawn, thinking about today's trial of Chen Mo's case in the Yangxin Palace, and couldn't help but be secretly worried, bathing and burning incense, and praying silently in front of the statue of Guanyin for nearly half an hour, then got up, changed his clothes and went out of the house, and went to Ciqing Palace to find Empress Dowager Li.
When she arrived at Ciqing Palace, she pounced, and heard Gong E say that Empress Dowager Li, Hua Fugui, Chuntao and others all went to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and they were busy crouching out of the palace and rushed to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
As soon as he entered the door of Yangxin, Siqi saw Zhang Whale standing in the porch of the main entrance of Furenzhai from afar, and Sun Xiu was standing opposite, saying something, but there was no one next to him, so he couldn't help but be curious, and stepped forward, and without waiting to get closer, he saw Sun Xiu kneeling down in front of Zhang Whale, and faintly said: "...... From today onwards, after the slave saddles the horse, everything is the head of the factory male horse, and it ......is more and more strange, thinking: "This Sun Xiu is also the master of ceremonies, a palm print, even if Zhang Whale is now powerful, there has never been a case of calling himself a 'slave', what is wrong today?" Is the sun coming out of the west? ”
Siqi was muttering here, Zhang Whale had already seen her over there, her expression became more and more proud, and she indifferently ordered Sun Xiu, who was dejected, to get up, step down the porch, and step forward to meet Siqi: "Qi'er, why are you here?" ”
frowned, Siqi's face was like frost, and she didn't answer and asked: "What about the Queen Mother?" ”
"The main hall is talking to the emperor," Sun Xiu interjected, bowed down and saluted Siqi, and was about to say something flattering, when he looked up and saw that Siqi had flown away, he couldn't help but be annoyed, glanced at Zhang Whale, who was pale, and said, "How can this be?" Forgive the slave for not listening to what he said, the factory father has always been so ...... by his sister-in-law."
"Hmph-" Zhang Whale's nostrils made a sound, interrupting Sun Xiu, squinting and saying, "Don't try to provoke our family, don't forget, who is Feng Maoxiang in now......"
Sun Xiu was shocked and lowered his head: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare...... The slave is just fighting for the factory father. ”
"Speaking of which, our family wants to thank you, let's go, Shen Ge is almost here, our family wants to see, this time, who can save Chen Mo?"
"Don't worry, the people the minions are absolutely ......reliable," Sun Xiuha followed Zhang Whale to the main hall, and his mouth was not idle: "Unless the emperor insists on going his own way, otherwise, Chen Mo will definitely die this time." ”
Zhang Whale was noncommittal, and saw that Siqi was talking to Chun Tao at the door of the main hall, and couldn't help but clench his fists.
Chen Mo was personally taken into the imperial city by Luo Sigong from the prison of the Criminal Department, accompanied by Pan Jitao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and a whole class of Han generals - Zhao Zhenyu, the Han general who participated in the murder case in the lamp market, although Zhang Whale ordered not to embarrass Zhao Zhenyu, but Chen Mo was all locked up, and they were naturally no exception, and they were locked up in Dongchang Imperial Prison.
This group of Han generals is also an acquaintance, the head of the Jinyi Guard commanded the affairs, is the person who executed the court staff that night, Chen Mogang knew his name, Zhu Yixiu, is also a famous family, the youngest son of Zhu Xizhong, the prince of Chengguo, the nephew of Zhu Xixiao, the governor of the left capital of the Chinese army, in terms of family background, it is not a little stronger than Zhao Zhenyu.
In fact, it is not surprising that General Dahan is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and if he can be elected, his family background is not bad.
Luo Sigong only wondered about Zhu Yixiu's attitude towards Chen Mo. You must know that these people always have a posture that their eyes are higher than everything else, and the eunuchs in the harem really don't put them in their eyes, but they treat Chen Mo very earnestly, don't say it respectfully, knowing that he is not good at what he does, and deliberately dismantle the door panel and carry it with dignity.
"Actually, Lord Luo doesn't need to be strange," Zhu Yixiu seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, looked back at Chen Mo who was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep on the door panel, and said: "Don't look at the age of this person, he is still a eunuch, but he is a man with bones, that night the court staff, a full thirty-nine staff, except for the first cane, which was too sudden, howled, until the end of the court staff, he never said a word......"
"And that matter?" Chen Mo was degraded to everyone, but not many people knew about the court staff, Luo Sigong was the first time he heard of it, imagining the cruelty of the court staff, he couldn't help but twitch his heart, a little incredulous.
"Lord Luo doesn't believe it?" Zhu Yixiu smiled, turned his head and rushed back to Nunu's mouth: "Look at the white cloth he wrapped, I heard that he was full of a meal of 'salted bamboo shoots', this has been a long time, have you heard him snort?" ”
"Roasted bamboo shoots in salt water" is to dip the whip in salt water, Luo Sigong, as the commander of the Fusi of Jinyi Weinan Town, naturally knows very well, and smacked his lips when he heard the words: "Don't say it, just looking at it and frowning, I really didn't hear him shout in pain...... The eunuchs in the palace have seen a lot of each official, and they are all embarrassed, and it is really rare to see someone like him. ”
Speaking of this, he sighed: "It's a pity, this official has the trust of Lord Shen, and he couldn't catch that Feng Maoxiang, this time I entered the palace, this Chen Shaoyan doesn't know if he can come out alive......"
"Oh?" Zhu Yixiu simply admired Chen Mo's personality, and the specific things were not clear, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but look at Luo Sigong curiously.
That day, Luo Sigong agreed to Shen Li's request for help, secretly detained Wei Yunzhen, followed the vine, and found Zhu Maoxiang's head. It's a pity that he sent someone to chase after him last night, and he met Yu Pengfei and Zhang Wen from Dongchang halfway, and the thousands of households who took the lead didn't dare to offend, and returned in vain, which made him angry, but it didn't help, and he could only watch Zhu Maoxiang fall into the hands of Zhang Whale.
Luo Sigong and the commander of the Jinyi Guard made Liu Shou have a face and heart, and he has always hoped to win over the Zuo Governor of the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion, and Zhu Yixiu, the nephew of Zhu Xixiao, the Zuo Governor who is also in charge of the Jinyi Guard, but he has no chance, and now he admires Chen Mo very much when he hears Zhu Yixiu's words, so he naturally wants to seize the opportunity.
"That's the case......" He briefly recounted, not only mentioning Shen Li, but also mentioning Zhao Zhenyu: "You also know that the dog has always had a good relationship with Chen Mo, and now he is implicated and has been imprisoned in the East Factory, and the official is now ashamed of both Lord Shen and the dog, I knew it was like this, and I had to go out of the city in person to say anything last night......
The corners of Zhu Yixiu's mouth twitched slightly, and a disdainful smile flashed: "Lord Luo has done his best, Gonggong Chen and Brother Zhao know this, and they will definitely not complain about you...... Isn't there still that Wei Yunzhen? He testifies ......"
"It's hard to stand alone, he's the only one, I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on!" Luo Sigong sighed. He knew Zhang Whale's strength, and he also knew the dirty relationship between Zhang Whale and Chen Mo, and he faintly regretted getting involved.
"Lord Luo, don't worry, even if Gonggong Zhang can prove that those who died in the lamp market are all good people, Chen Mo is at most a manslaughter, with His Majesty and Empress Dowager Li, and the big credit for the hot air balloon, he and Brother Zhao will be fine."
Luo Sigong nodded and sighed: "The official is not worried about the dog, the official is only worried about Chen Mo, after all, that father-in-law hates him to the core, even if he can't kill him, I'm afraid it won't make him feel good!" ”
Zhu Yixiu sighed, remembering the long conversation with Zhu Xixiao that night, and his expression became solemn.
