Chapter 107: Court Trial (3)
"It's the villain who deserves to die!"
Qian Xiaoqi shouted loudly.
Both the emperor and Lu Xiang saw the change in his expression, and they were all puzzled when they saw his sudden change in attitude.
"It's a villain...... Villain ......"
Cheng Ye took the first step and turned around and bowed to the emperor and Lu Xiang:
"Yes, yes, it was Qian Xiaoqi's soldiers who were ignorant, I entered the city, and he was still chasing me, and I didn't know why. I was in a hurry to go home to see my grandmother, and I thought he was in the way, so I picked up a stone and beat Qian Xiaoqi's soldiers - near Yongxingfang. ”
The emperor stood up and wanted to scold him for messing around, but suddenly closed his mouth, looked at Qian Xiaoqi again, and saw that he was staring at Cheng Ye with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
He moved his gaze back to Cheng Ye again, and saw that he was looking at himself and nodded slightly, his eyes dark as a deep pool.
The emperor reprimanded with a solemn face: "Nonsense! ”
walked up to Cheng Ye again, stared at him and said:
"What is it going to do? Such a small thing makes a lot of trouble, look at how I can sue my grandmother and punish you. ”
Seeing Cheng Ye nodding, the emperor turned his head to look at Lu Xiang again:
"Lu Qing heard it clearly? This kind of trivial matter can be quickly closed and reported. ”
Lu Xiang's head was like knocking over a hornet's nest at this time, and he didn't have an idea, and when he heard the emperor attribute this matter to a "trivial matter", his heart was much clearer, and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying yes again and again.
The emperor seemed to be annoyed, but in fact he affectionately put his knee on Cheng Ye's body, and scolded in a low voice:
"The trouble has also been provoked, and the lawsuit has been cleared, so go back with me."
Cheng Ye followed the emperor for a few steps, suddenly turned his head and smiled at Qian Xiaoqi, and bowed:
"Xiaoqi should take care of his soldiers in the future, and those who are disobedient cannot be used, otherwise you will get into trouble."
When Qian Xiaoqi heard the last four words, his originally pale face turned blue-gray, and the fear in his eyes was even worse.
Lu Xiang and Master Sun, who were kneeling with their heads bowed on the side, glanced at each other, and they both saw a sense of horror in each other's eyes.
"Old knife, escort Qian Xiaoqi home and settle it", Lu Xiang dragged his legs like lead and stood up and ordered, as if he remembered something, and said one more word:
"When I passed by the Rejuvenation Hall, I went to help Qian Xiaoqi bring the medicine prescribed by the doctor."
Watching the group go away, Lu Xiang and Master Sun returned to the back hall and retreated from everyone.
The two of them were silent for a moment, and the hall was so silent that only the sound of their breath remained.
Wei Chengye just said that last night, Qian Xiaoqi's soldiers followed him and were beaten with stones by him, which sounded like a child was bored and making trouble.
Others may not know what he really wants to say, but as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion who takes maintaining law and order in the capital as his own responsibility, Lu Xiang knows best.
Last night, a soldier of the Shunyi Gate Forbidden Army was attacked in Yongxingfang, and the man was hit by a stone in the door and immediately fainted to the ground, and it was not until it was about to dawn that he was found by the officers and soldiers who patrolled the night and sent to the hospital.
originally thought that it had nothing to do with Qian Shi's beating, but it was only under Wei Chengye's vague hint that it was connected together.
"My lord, enter the city from Shunyi Gate and return to the Wei Mansion, but you don't pass through Yongxingfang."
Master Sun wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, everyone knows that Yongxingfang is the place where the Yanling Palace, Wei Chengye beat the people of the forbidden army in Yongxingfang last night, and the amount of information contained in this is really big enough.
"What's strange, I don't know which of the two is in front and which is behind, who followed and who followed to Yongxingfang."
This really doesn't matter, the king of Yanling and the emperor will tear their faces sooner or later, and according to Wei Chengye, he was just being followed at night, and he hit the soldier out of self-preservation instinct.
It's a bit ruthless.
This kid's kung fu is really good, a stone actually beat the veteran of the forbidden army to death on the street, it seems that the rumors are true, it has always been rumored in Kyoto that Wei Chengye killed a Zuowu Wei captain unarmed last year, and then think of Wei Jinglin and Wei Chengxuan father and son, it can be seen that the courage of the Wei family is born in the bloodline.
"Yes", Master Sun continued his words:
"The important thing is that this soldier was sent out by Qian Shi, when Wei Chengye had just entered the city gate, Qian Shi sent someone to follow or was followed by Wei Chengye on the way to deliver the news......"
Speaking of this, the two looked at each other again, looking at this situation, there was no point in sending troops to follow Wei Chengye.
Most of them saw Wei Chengye return to Beijing, Qian Shi wanted to pass on the news as soon as possible, but was discovered by Wei Chengye, and was followed by Wei Chengye and injured.
deliberately let the subordinates of the Wei Mansion go to the Shuntian Mansion to report the case, and then asked someone to carry Qian Xiaoqi to the Mansion Mansion, these are not coincidences, but the people who know the Shuntian Mansion must know about the beating of the soldiers of Yongxingfang last night, and specially came to the door.
"Things are figured out, but ......"
Master Sun scratched his head irritably, this little ancestor is really incomprehensible.
"Since you know that Qian Shi sent someone to pass on the news, and he was arrested on the spot, he just found a reason to punish the crime, why did he go to such great lengths?"
Lu Xiang looked up at the door of the hanging flowers, the yard was already sprinkled with heavy snow, and the people came in silently and lit a few more lights, and the indoor light was brighter, reflecting Lu Xiang's face a little gray.
"It's just to make things bigger and make an example."
Master Sun patted his head, "My lord is saying that he is also hinting that he is also warning those who have other masters behind their backs......"
Lu Xiang smiled bitterly, "The monkey who kills chickens is more than that, I'm afraid there are ......."
Lu Xiang swallowed the second half of the sentence, I am afraid that there are still monkeys like him who ride on the wall and watch, and he doesn't rely on either side, he just wants to wait for the dust to settle after the two sides are entangled before choosing the master.
Master Sun didn't think of this for a while, but muttered:
"Your Excellency, you say...... Does the emperor know the inside story today, and specially played a double reed with Wei Chengye in front of our eyes? Or are you as ignorant as we are? ”
"I don't know."
Lu Xiang observed the words and found that the emperor was also kept in the dark, but later he also saw the clues.
Besides, with his little Shuntian Mansion Yin, he doesn't have the face to drive today's Zite to the mansion and play a double reed that kills chickens and monkeys.
*****************
"I didn't deliberately want to hide it from the emperor", Cheng Ye bowed down on the horseback and explained with a frown:
"I didn't come back until midnight, and I was pulled by the emperor to such a place where the corpse was dissected early in the morning, and it was easy to leave the small courtyard.
"Your Majesty, are you angry again, thinking that your subordinates are impulsively beating people and causing trouble again?"
The emperor pursed his lips and smiled, patted the snow particles that fell on his shoulder, and said seriously:
"In the past, I thought that you would inevitably be impulsive and hurt people when you were young, but after this mission, I believe that as long as you make a move, you must have a deep meaning."
"I know that the third brother believes me."
Cheng Ye specially pressed the word third brother very low, and said solemnly.
"I'm angry with these people, as the forbidden army guarding the capital, I turned out to be a thief inside and outside. I remembered that during our mission to the outside of the city, these people guarded the city gates, and they only cared about doing these things. ”
The emperor's eyes were full of ice, and he said mockingly:
"These people are just for the sake of wealth."
Cheng Ye snorted coldly, "So the minister first rejected his wealth." Don't think that finding a new master can keep his wealth for a long time, I will completely cut off his wealth now. ”
If you want to seek long-term wealth, dream, first cut off your current wealth.
"Hahahaha...... "The Emperor laughed pleasantly, "It's childish, but it's a good way to cure these people." ”
Cheng Ye also smiled, touched the cold snowflakes on his face, and said to the emperor with a smile:
"Your Majesty, let's find a cleaner teahouse to use some refreshments and avoid the snow."
The emperor did not doubt him, and nodded in agreement.
The two sat down in the private room of the teahouse, and Cheng Ye poured a cup of hot tea with a pot.
He held the teacup in his hand, his eyes flashed slightly, and with a shake of his arm, he threw the tea water towards the partition next to the tea room.
"Ahh
