Chapter 167: Get the Evidence
The sky above the quiet imperial city is pressed and oppressed, and from time to time there will be a flash of thunder, silent, dull, red bricks and green tiles, glazed for the bricks, and the bright light is circulating, all attached to a thin layer of gray.
There was a rush of footsteps that grew louder and louder, and the guards with knives stood in two rows, holding the hilts of their knives with great momentum.
Dressed in a bright dragon robe, he walked past the guards, exuding the aura of a king.
Huo Lingxiao followed closely, and today he came to discuss matters with Emperor Nanshao.
Entering the Jinluan Palace, the crown prince and Huo Zeyu were waiting inside, and they all bowed to Emperor Nanshao and knelt down.
"Now that the Huns have retreated, and the border pass has also been controlled, what should you do next?"
"Father, according to the ministers, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat the Huns in one fell swoop!" The prince was the first to stand up and speak.
Huo Zeyu took a step forward and said, "Chen Sheng's pursuit is too risky, we should take this opportunity to let the Xiongnu sue for peace with us and make them submit to Nanshao." ”
Huo Lingxiao didn't care about what they said, at this time, Qingying should have already gone to the imperial study again.
Qingying easily passed through the pavilion, the water stone blossomed, and a team of inspectors greeted him, and he slid into the temple door and stopped.
When passing by the cold palace, I only heard the rhythmic sound of beating the wooden fish, like the sound of heart beating, which made people feel soothed and excited.
After dodging the patrolling soldiers, a leap flashed into the study.
The recitals in the imperial study were neatly arranged on the table, and he began to flip through them.
Inside the Golden Luang Palace......
"Ling Xiao, what do you think? You have been on the front line and know the sinister nature of the Huns, do you think that peace will work? ”
Nan Shaohuang half-squinted, patted his big sleeves, and looked at Huo Lingxiao.
"If the two sides sue for peace, it will be the best for the people, but the Huns are cunning and fickle, I am afraid that they will use the excuse of peace to invade again, we must first get the handle that can control them."
Huo Lingxiao said lightly, leaning lazily on the edge of the pillar, his unkempt appearance disgusted the prince and Huo Zeyu.
"Handle?" The crown prince laughed, "Third prince, it is extremely difficult to get the handle of the Huns, not to mention that we don't know their weaknesses, which seems a bit whimsical." ”
"Erchen thinks that what the prince said is right, and the third brother's words are indeed a little whimsical."
The prince and Huo Zeyu inadvertently formed a tacit understanding and aimed at Huo Lingxiao.
But Emperor Nan Shao deliberately favored him, because he felt that Huo Lingxiao's idea was good and could be realized.
Qingying lightly flipped through every part of the imperial study, and all he found was the correspondence with Wei Kemu, and the most powerful evidence had not yet been found.
Out of the corner of his eye, there seemed to be a dark lattice in the corner of the desk under the desk, and when the desk was removed, only a "click" sound was heard.
An alarm sounded in Qingying's heart, not good, this is a trap!
Sure enough, the soldiers patrolling outside heard the sound, and Qingying had no choice but to leave immediately.
The news soon spread to the Jinluan Palace, and the assassins were still in the imperial study.
Emperor Nan Shao quickly got up and left the Jinluan Palace, letting Huo Lingxiao and the others go back.
Huo Lingxiao's lazy gaze began to become sharp, and he walked out of the palace leisurely.
When he returned to the Prince's Mansion, the green shadow flashed out, wearing a black night coat with a dark red patch on it.
"Discovered? Not hurt? ”
"Back to the master, I accidentally triggered the inspection of the guards caused by the mechanism, and killed two in the process of fighting, but I was not injured."
Qingying took out two letters from his arms and handed them to Huo Lingxiao.
"Okay, you go down."
Huo Lingxiao opened the envelope, and what was written in it was just something that Wei Kemu and Nan Shaohuang talked about, most of them were about the exchange of treasure clues, and the poisoning was not mentioned in detail, but the last line of the other letter said to accelerate the plan.
But the signature of the letter was not signed, and Huo Lingxiao guessed that the letter was related to Mrs. Wei.
The knock on the door suddenly sounded, Wei Xiyue opened her eyes, got out of bed and put on her shoes, walked to the door and opened the door, Xiaohuan was slightly anxious outside the door.
"Miss, no, Concubine Wei went to the official mansion, and the complaint said that you attempted intentional homicide, and that you ruined her appearance, Mrs. Wei, the second room and the fourth prince are all in the yamen, and Mrs. Wei asked people to shout." Xiaohuan's statement was hurried and anxious.
"Well, change your clothes." Wei Xiyue closed the door behind her, her eyes moving slightly, and her brows tightened.
She only slapped Wei Feiyue once, and at most kicked her, this Wei Feiyue can really toss and run to the government to sue for attempted murder.
"Shadows!" Qingge said suddenly.
A dark shadow popped up on the window, raising her eyebrows slightly, what the hell did Wei Xiyue have in mind.
"In!"
Wei Xiyue raised her hand to pick up a strand of hair, squinted and smiled, a little sly light exploded at the corner of her eye.
The official government in the capital is different from the official government in other places, and there are many imperial relatives in the capital, and those who can do it in this position are by no means idle.
At this time, the government was full of people, and there were many civilians watching the excitement outside.
Inquisitor Zou Ping sat on a sandalwood chair, and on either side sat Old Lady Wei and the fourth prince Huo Zeyu.
Zou Ping picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, today's trial is different from peace.
He has gray hair, his eyes are cloudy but shining, and he is highly respectful when he raises his hands and feet.
In this, they are all talking to Wei Feiyue, and it seems that Wei Xiyue is going to suffer a big loss this time.
Wei Xiyue boarded the carriage slowly, and the relaxed brass bell rang, now she needs Huo Lingxiao to come over and show her the field, otherwise this battle will not be easy to fight.
Wei Feiyue's eyes were resolute, and she knelt on the ground with a little poignant, a finger-long sword mark on her face, and fresh blood continued to flow out slowly, dripping down her cheeks and onto the floor.
"Judge Zou, you must call the shots for me, I am just a little reprimanded a few wild children brought back by the big sister, I didn't expect the big sister to do this to me, not hesitating to disfigure me for an unknown person, and even wanted to kill me with a sword, fortunately I hid quickly, otherwise what I am in front of you now may only be a corpse!"
The pear blossoms that Wei Feiyue cried brought rain, and tears flowed, and tears and blood mixed together, diluting the color.
Wei Feiyue continued: "My jade pendant is broken, I just want to seek justice, I didn't expect it to become like this!" ”
"This Wei Xiyue is extremely vicious, she can actually do such a ruthless hand to her sister." Zou Ping frowned and said.
When he saw the broken jade pendant, Huo Zeyu was already clenching his fist under his sleeve, and he couldn't wait to raise his sword to kill Wei Xiyue, this is the jade pendant he hung on Wei Feiyue's body with his own hands, it is a token of love, but he didn't expect it to be broken.
"Old Madam Wei? This is your family matter, but now that it has come to court, you have to make a decision. ”
Zou Ping glanced at the expressionless Old Madam Wei.
Huo Zeyu, who was on the side, couldn't help but speak and said: "Then Wei Xiyue is becoming more and more presumptuous, the shady things she did are not a day or two, this time she wants to kill Fei Yue this time, she must not be let go so easily, and she must be removed from this scourge for the Wei Mansion." ”
"Scourge? Who is the scourge of the Wei Mansion? Who made the Weifu chicken dog not crook? ”
Everyone looked out of the door, but saw Wei Xiyue wearing a white gauze skirt, standing proudly and coldly at the lintel, unpowdered but beautiful.
She walked in dignified and indifferent, as if she was not frightened by the people of a yamen.
Xiaohuan followed closely, neither fast nor slow, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Wei Xiyue! You want to kill Fei Yue and ruin her appearance, you vicious woman really deserve to die! Huo Zeyu sat on the chair and angrily reprimanded Wei Xiyue's crimes, his words were forceful, and his face was a little red.
Chen on the side immediately chimed in: "Xiyue, how can you be so cruel, Feiyue is also your cousin, how can you hurt your sister for a wild child of unknown origin?" Appearance is the most precious thing in a woman's life, although Fei Yue is usually a little high-profile, and she may accidentally make you unhappy, but she is kind-hearted, and the sin is not so much! ”
Wei Xiyue's face was gloomy, she stood on tiptoe, and slowly walked to Wei Feiyue's side.
In the next second, Wei Xiyue's actions made everyone's eyes suddenly widen, and they looked at Wei Xiyue in surprise. She suddenly changed her face, only to see Wei Xiyue step on Wei Feiyue's back, and then raised her left hand high, and she spit out a mouthful of blood and even her teeth when she hit Wei Feiyue.
Wei Xiyue was silent, her movements did not stop, she stepped on Wei Feiyue again, and finally hooked her toes and kicked towards Wei Feiyue's lower abdomen.
Wei Feiyue's body arched, shrunk into a ball, and kept twitching.
Wei Xiyue slowly approached Wei Feiyue, Wei Feiyue's apricot eyes widened, and she looked at Wei Xiyue in horror, no! She wanted to kill her in public!
Wei Feiyue did deliberately cut her face and wanted to frame Wei Xiyue for wanting to murder and disfigure, but she never thought that Wei Xiyue, who was not afraid of the government, would dare to attack her again in front of everyone.
In front of the inquisitors and the four princes, she dared to be so presumptuous!
"Bold Wei Xiyue! This is in court! Licentious! Zou Ping was furious and stood up, "Wei Xiyue, you stop me, you can't be wild here!" ”
Wei Xiyue squinted, glanced at Zou Ping, gracefully withdrew her feet, patted her skirt, her body passed by like an afterimage, and arrived in front of Zou Ping in an instant.
saw her stretch out her hand and lift Huo Zeyu's table next to her, and then slammed it towards Wei Feiyue with all her might.
Huo Zeyu flew out and grabbed the table that flew out in time, threw it aside, and the table broke into half and picked up Wei Feiyue.
Huo Zeyu's eyes were full of disgust, and he said sharply: "Wei Xiyue! Why are you so bold that you dare to commit murder in public, you're afraid you're not crazy! Want to kill Fei Yue? ”
