Chapter 35: Murder pays for life

Luo Xiaoran replied vaguely, "The emperor asked what was going on outside." ”

Before the inner eunuch could open his mouth to explain the reason, the indomitable person who pestered the inner eunuch spoke first, knelt down with a puff, and began to cry with his throat: "Your Majesty, you want to be the master of the old minister!" The old minister thinks that he is conscientious in political affairs, and he has never done anything to be sorry for the emperor or the emperor! Now there are rebellious ministers and thieves who are ruthless and take the life of the son of the old minister! There is only one son in the three generations of the old minister's family, and I hope that the emperor will be the master of the old minister! ”

"Bring the lantern."

As soon as Luo Xiaoran heard this statement, her sleepiness suddenly dissipated by seven or eight points, and she immediately asked the inner supervisor to carry a glass shelter lamp, and by the candle flame, she saw the person kneeling on the ground-

It is a sixty-year-old man with frosty white temples and deep ravines.

At this time, dressed in plain clothes, a pair of eyes on his pale face were cloudy and red, as if he was a color of great sorrow, and his eyes burst out with despair and strong anger!

"...... is he?" Luo Xiaoran asked the inner supervisor next to him in a low voice.

The inner supervisor replied in a low voice: "He is Mr. Tong Xie Tong, the former secretary of the military department and one of the three divisions of the former prince. ”

After Luo Xiaoran roughly sorted out the information, he immediately walked back to the hall, Murong Jue was already dressed and sat behind the bookcase outside, the candlesticks in the outer room were extinguished, and Luo Xiaoran also went out in the dark, and at this time, he could only barely see Murong Jue's location clearly by the moonlight through the window paper.

"It was Mr. Tong Xie who was crying outside, and someone in the court had killed his son for three generations."

Murong Jue groaned slightly, "You go to transmit the sound and repair it." ”

"Oh." Luo Xiaoran was about to go out, and when he was about to walk to the door, he remembered the old man who was kneeling outside the door and crying, and asked, "What about Mr. Tong?" Would you like to come in? ”

"No, you don't."

After Luo Xiaoran got his life, he found the inner supervisor who stopped Tong Xie and asked him to go to Yin Xiu, and by the way, explain the cause and effect to Yin Xiu, after all, Luo Xiaoran came in from behind, and she was afraid that she would not be able to speak clearly - she was even more afraid that she would talk and talk, and then she would be at odds with Yin Xiu.

Luo Xiaoran stretched out his hand to help Tong Xie who was kneeling on the ground, "Lord Tong, the emperor hurriedly got up after hearing your statement, and he will announce your entry in a while." ”

Tong Xie stood up with Luo Xiaoran's hand, and when he thought of his only son, he covered his face and cried sadly.

Yin Xiu quickly entered the hall, and after a while, Tong Xie was sent in.

Tong Xie suddenly lost his son, and he staggered when he walked, so Luo Xiaoran could only help him all the way in.

"The old minister sees the emperor's ......" even the voice of the greeting was with a trembling cry.

Murong Jue raised his hand, "Help Tong Lao to get up and sit down." ”

Tong Xie insisted on refusing to get up from the ground, and broke free of Luo Xiaoran's hand, kowtowed violently, and made a bang, which made Luo Xiaoran's heart tremble. "Your Majesty! You have to be the master of the old minister! The old minister's prophecy is a miserable death...... If it weren't for the murderer's bad deeds and boldness, the old minister would not dare to enter the palace late at night to beg the emperor to call the shots......" After that, he took out a book from his sleeve with trembling hands, and presented it with both hands: "How the child was killed, who killed someone, everything is written in it, and the emperor is invited to take a look!" ”

Luo Xiaoran took the notebook and presented it.

Murong Jue just glanced at it a few times, and then he had already closed the notebook.

His face sank significantly.

It is estimated that the general situation has been understood from the Yin Xiu, and at this time, he said to this dying old man: "Elder Tong, I will personally inquire into this matter after the opening of the dynasty tomorrow, and I will also give Tong Yu a fair word." Yin Xiu, send the forbidden army to send Tong Lao out of the palace, and be sure to send him back to Tong Mansion safely. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yin Xiu had already walked over from Murong Jue's side and helped Tong Xie up from the ground.

But Tong Xie was a little stunned.

He ignored the curfew and entered the palace overnight, crying about the death of the child, why did the emperor send him back lightly after taking the book? !

Tong Xie is a veteran of the two dynasties, and the former military department Shangshu once served as one of the three divisions of the prince, and the current righteous indignation is unsettled! Just as he was about to have a seizure, Yin Xiu turned his back to Murong Jue, pressed down Tong Xie's arm with one hand, and shook his head slowly at him, "Old Tong, the slave will send you out." ”

Tong Xie was a veteran of the two dynasties, and Yin Xiu was also the internal supervisor who served the two emperors.

When it comes to spying on the emperor's emotions and intentions, no one understands better than Yin Xiu, and at this time, Yin Xiu secretly stopped him, which must have other intentions. No matter how sad and angry Tong Xie is, he can only go out with the sound now.

After the two walked to the bottom of the corridor, Tong Xie asked, "Why did the Yin manager stop me?" ”

Yin Xiu sighed, "Elder Tong is confused, who are you going to sue?" That's the person under His Majesty, the slave naturally understands the heartache of Old Tong's loss of his son, and wants to ask for justice for Lord Xiao Tong, but it is already disrespectful for you to rush into Weiyang Palace in the middle of the night despite the curfew, if you pester Your Majesty to give you justice on the spot, isn't this touching Your Majesty's scales! ”

After thinking about it, although Tong Xie knew that Yin Xiu's words were right, his son was really unjustly dead, "That little child's life is not life?!" ”

"Your Majesty did not blame you for trespassing in the harem in the middle of the night, but promised you to personally inquire into this matter, which has already given you enough face, what else do you have to worry about?"

Tong Xie hesitated, "Yes, but ......"

Yin Xiu immediately interrupted Tong Xie's incessant chatter, and waved his hand to let the forbidden army waiting next to him step forward: "Be sure to send Tong Lao back to the mansion safely." ”

"Yes!"

Finally let go of Tong Xie away, as soon as Yin Xiu entered the hall, he saw Luo Xiaoran looking at the book, and he was frightened, His Majesty indulged Su Qingce so much, is it really ......

He secretly spied on Murong Jie's face again, and there was nothing unusual.

The characters in this dynasty are basically traditional characters, and this book is written by the person who wrote a beautiful hand, so Luo Xiaoran didn't have much trouble reading it, but the whole article looked a little dizzy.

But the reading speed is still there, and after looking at the side, Luo Xiaoran probably understands the whole story.

Tong Xie's son Tong Yuyan served as the three-grade squire of the military department, the border state drought, the border state terrain is special in the border of the northern merchants, if it is not handled well, it will be allowed to cause war, Murong decided to appoint him to handle disaster relief matters. The disaster relief was perfectly solved, and when I returned to the capital, I passed through Xiangzhou, and something happened in Xiangzhou.

A peasant woman from the countryside intercepted their team returning to Beijing halfway and accused Lu Kui, the son of Lu Changqing, the secretary of the ministry, of adultering the adulterous girl. Originally, the local government government dealt with the adulterous matter, but the local yamen turned a blind eye and beat the peasant woman out of the yamen with poison. The eldest daughter of the peasant woman was insulted and committed suicide by jumping into the river, the matter is not over, Lu Kui also looks like the youngest daughter of the peasant woman, the younger daughter swears to die, Lu Kui killed the youngest daughter in a fit of anger after rape.

At this point, two lives have been involved.

Tong Yuyan couldn't see it, so he went around to Xiangzhou to ask Lu Kui, Lu Kui refused to admit it, and Tong Yuyan was in a hurry to return to Beijing for disaster relief, so he wrote a recital for the peasant woman to prepare to return to Beijing to play. How do you know that there will be an accident halfway, before you get out of Xiangzhou, you meet a gang of robbers, the robbers have a clear goal to kill Tong Yuyan and run away, and they turned over Lu Kui's token on the robber who was caught, and when he was escorted back to Beijing, he ran away.
