Chapter 138: Several Crimes (4000 Words)

Sima Jingling stepped into the hall with both feet, and the orange light was cut off behind her, but it seemed to carry the light on her back, making people unable to take their eyes off her for a while.

Taiwei squinted at Sima Jingling's back, and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart.

This feeling is not to say how scared he is and has a fear of Sima Jingling, but that he suddenly feels that Sima Jingling has grown up a lot in his heart.

She has a lot of calm and sacred temperament, which makes people unconsciously want to respect her from the bottom of their hearts.

However, Sima Jingling's next sentence made the feeling of Sima Jingling in Taiwei's heart disappear in an instant.

Sima Jingling said: "How can this palace get a glimpse of what Lord Taiwei thinks in his heart, so why do you have to explain so much to this palace?"

Lord Taiwei, what you say in your heart is naturally what it is, how can this palace argue with you? ”

With that, he walked towards the top in the middle of the main hall.

The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly.

No matter how far Xiao Ling'er grows, for him, she is still the little Ling'er who has no good temper with him.

Taifu shook his head, and then stepped back into the hall.

At this time, the twelve princes and all the ministers in the palace were quietly listening to Princess Ankang say the truth about Captain Xie's death.

When Sima Jingling felt that Xie Rong was dying in the Torture Palace, she felt that there would be a problem, so she arranged a series of measures, and also deliberately went to Princess Ankang, so that she could put aside her fear, bravely face her heart, and seek the truth about Xie Rong's death, and now it is time to make this truth public.

Princess Ankang said: "When the banquet was held, this princess was not present, but when I heard the details, I knew that Xie Xiaowei was indeed used by someone with a heart, so if she wanted to have such a trouble with the imperial sister, she was bound to find out the traces of this princess."

This was not a big deal, and the fact that he secretly set up a situation for Captain Xie to find the imperial sister was just to add a trouble to the imperial sister, but what happened after that was really too ruthless, and it really made the princess too cold. ”

All the ministers in the palace were silent, and they also knew in their hearts that Princess Ankang would not be here to talk about a little captain for no reason at this time, which must also have something to do with Sima Zhao, who had just been driven out of the palace by Sima Jingling by thunder.

Sure enough, Princess Ankang paused when she said this, and seemed to be a little heavy and choked in it, but she continued to speak:

"The royal brother whom Princess Ben has always admired and trusted, after Princess Ben did not seek an answer here, she secretly detained Captain Xie and tortured him, and he must get the secret from him. However, where is the so-called secret of Captain Xie? ”

Princess Ankang's eyes unconsciously left a line of tears, and a miserable smile hung on the corner of her mouth. When she saw the figure of Sima Jingling at the entrance of the main hall, the topic changed and she suddenly said: "Actually, at that time, the palace hated the imperial sister very much. ”

The ministers were a little puzzled, not knowing what Princess Ankang meant by suddenly saying this.

They followed Princess Ankang's gaze and looked at Sima Jingling, but because Sima Jingling was against the light, they couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

However, according to some of their experience, Sima Jingling was definitely not angry, but had some pleasure.

The ministers didn't understand the inside story, but they were very sensitive to the seemingly relaxed relationship between the two sisters, Sima Jingling and Sima Jingru. I knew that what Princess Ankang said next was the main thing.

They turned back and looked towards Princess Ankang, and saw Princess Ankang bowing her head and making an apology gesture to Sima Jingling.

At that time, the royal sister was full of satisfaction for the sake of this princess, but this princess failed to understand her mind, it was too stupid.

She didn't want the controlled and instigated Captain Xie to say anything that would damage the reputation of Princess Ben in a stirred mood, so she kept moving the matter to another place. But the princess's closest royal brother, I won't say anything about leaving the princess, but before leaving, I can't help but test some of the princess's thoughts.

But at that time, Princess Ben was just angry, and she didn't think of anything else at all, it was really ......"

Princess Ankang suddenly couldn't cry, and under the instruction of the twelve princes, the palace people helped Princess Ankang down to rest first.

At this time, Sima Jingling had also stepped into the center of the hall.

She walked over and patted Princess Ankang on the back, comforted her silently, and then looked at the ministers and said aloud to them:

"This palace knows that there is no basis for what you say, you just heard Ah Ru say this, and you can't understand what Sima Zhao did, then this palace will let you take a good look at Captain Xie's body, and you will know."

After saying that, Sima Jingling signaled to the little yellow door next to herald.

When Xiao Huangmen received the order, he loudly spread the word outside: "The priest and the eunuch Yu re-enter the hall. ”

The sound of the order was heard, layer upon layer, and after a while, the supervisor Yu Zhong came.

He took two servants, carrying a corpse that could no longer be seen, into the main hall, as soon as he entered, he first bowed to Sima Jingling,

"Minister, I've seen Her Royal Highness Princess An Ning."

Sima Jingling glanced up at the eunuch, but she didn't speak, and the little yellow door on the side hurriedly attached to the eunuch's ear and said to him:

"Lord Eunuch, Your Highness is already Princess Jinning."

The superintendent was surprised, but then he felt panicked, so he hurriedly made another big salute, put half of his body on the ground, did not dare to slack off at all, and said to Sima Jingling very respectfully:

"Minister, I have seen Her Royal Highness Princess Jinning, Her Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose."

Sima Jingling said "um" at this time, but she didn't let the eunuch get up, but asked him to raise his head and take a look at the twelve princes on the throne.

"Eunuch, you don't participate in political affairs, and you rarely act in the court, so at this moment, you will look up and recognize the new emperor of our great palace, the twelve princes.

Although there has not yet been a formal enthronement ceremony, it is almost the same. You have to take a good look at this, and after you have bowed, you should know who the current master is. ”

The eunuch hurriedly saluted the twelve princes again, and called him "Your Majesty" very respectfully.

Although he didn't know where the twelve princes came from, he had never been involved in political affairs, and who sat on the throne had little to do with him. As long as the official hat on his head is still there, everything is fine.

Moreover, he quietly raised his eyes and looked at the Twelve Princes, and thought to himself:

These twelve princes look young, although they look decent now, but if they are placed here at such a young age, they can only be put on a look, what they say in this palace is to be the same, they still have to follow the princess An Ning, who has always been at the center of the conversation in the palace, oh no, she is now the princess of Jinning.

Just look at the grandeur of this body, before the throne was sealed, he directly changed the title, can there be a second person in this palace who dares to do this?

What the eunuch was thinking in his heart, Sima Jingling didn't care.

She looked at the ministers around her who were frowning and covering their mouths and noses because of the unpleasant smell coming from the corpse, and said lightly: "Okay, this palace called you into the palace, firstly, to recognize people, and secondly, to do the matter of the corpse in your hand."

The smell is bad, so you better say everything you have to say. ”

As soon as the eunuch heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes", and then got up and lifted the white cloth covering the god, and said to Sima Jingling, the twelve princes, and everyone in the palace:

"This corpse, we can clearly see a variety of wounds from his body, and after judgment, it was tortured to death. If you look at the position on his chest, you can clearly see some traces of torture instruments, such as this triangular brand and this square well brand.

The skin of these two places has obviously changed color, and considering the changes in the corpses after death, it can be judged that these two places were already burned when they were tortured at that time.

In other words, everything here has lost its original function, and it will even burn through and burn directly into the internal organs. ”

Listening to the words of the superintendent, everyone unconsciously thought of this picture in their minds. Although they couldn't see anything professional from these two wounds, they all felt a pain in their chests at the same time, and gasped.

Under the description of the superintendent, they all felt how cruel it was.

In fact, they are not completely unseen torture instruments, like those who have committed the most heinous crimes, they all have to be branded and engraved on their foreheads, faces, ears, etc.

The hot iron directly touches people and makes a "zizz" sound, which is inherently unacceptable to some kind-hearted literati, let alone this kind of punishment that is directly like going for human life.

However, it was not only that that made the people in the temple angry.

I saw that the superintendent asked the two servants to lift the remaining white cloth, and saw that the legs and broken leg bones were already somewhat rotten.

Everyone gasped.

When the superintendent said these things, it was extremely natural, and his tone was not as cautious as the one he had just met, and he was sophisticated and tactful.

I could only hear him say in an extremely calm tone, without any biased feelings: "The situation of these legs, everyone must have seen it very clearly. There was a little more rotting flesh on his legs because of the passage of these days, but by the time Benguan and the others took over the corpse, his legs had already begun to rot.

The reason for this is nothing more than a serious injury to his leg, which has not been treated in time.

And this very serious injury, everyone can see it clearly, what kind of punishment can make a person's entire leg bones shattered, and the official will not say much. ”

At this time, all the ministers felt that their legs were in some pain, but there was already a look of righteous indignation on their faces.

When they saw that there was no longer a whole piece of good meat on the corpse, they fell silent again.

The superintendent didn't understand what was going on, but when he finished introducing all these things, he said what he had to say, and he returned to his trembling appearance, waiting for Sima Jingling's orders.

Sima Jingling listened to what the supervisor said, but her face did not change, and she smiled a little, comforted the eunuch, and praised him for doing a good job.

"The supervisor is still as meticulous as ever, which makes this palace feel very relieved and at ease. Then you want to sit in the temple and listen, or you can leave, everything is up to you. ”

The eunuch was overjoyed, but he didn't hesitate at all, he directly kowtowed to Sima Jingling, and said excitedly: "Thank you Your Highness for your praise, and the minister should continue to do his best." Although there is nothing important for the minister at the moment, he still feels at ease when he returns to the place where the minister should be. Please resign. ”

Sima Jingling said that if she didn't force her to stay, she wouldn't force her to stay, so she asked the eunuch to leave with his apprentice and corpse.

The palace people in the hall hurriedly lit the incense prepared in the hall to clear the smell left in the hall, and after a while, the hall was no longer the indescribable and very unpleasant smell.

The ministers unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

When Sima Jingling saw the performance of the ministers, she raised her eyebrows, chuckled, and said lazily and casually:

"My lords, do you have any thoughts or opinions on this?"

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and they all expressed their anger and fear in their hearts,

"This, this, the minister really doesn't know what words to use to describe it. I just think it's too appalling. ”

"Minister, I can understand why His Highness made this decision. Didn't expect ......"

The ministers still have a lot to say, but they don't seem to know what to say.

It's just that the gaze that looked at Sima Jingling was a little more complicated and awe-inspiring.

Sima Jingling didn't say anything, but she was a little satisfied.

She looked at the Twelve Princes, ready to hand over the next matter to the Twelve Princes to solve, so that he could occupy a position in the hearts of the ministers,

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The Twelfth Prince was slightly nervous, but when he saw Sima Jingling's eyes, he knew that he was giving himself a chance, so he calmed himself down, and worked hard to show what he usually learned, so as not to disappoint Sima Jingling.

He stood in the middle of the hall and looked at the ministers with a serious expression.

Although he looked a little young, and his height would be only the waist of all the ministers present, from the moment he entered the main hall, he walked towards where he should go step by step with great poise.

The waiter who was pulled up by Sima Zhao, because of Sima Zhao's defeat, he was also tied up by the guards brought by Sima Jingling.

However, at the moment, Sima Jingling still needed to be present from him, so the guards pressed him in a corner of the hall and waited for Sima Jingling's departure.

In this way, the middle attendant returned to the position he was most familiar with and became the first attendant by the emperor's side.

He respectfully guided the Twelve Princes to the throne, and then stepped aside, waiting for the Twelve Princes' orders at any time.

So, I heard the twelve princes say in a young but calm voice:

"Sima Zhao's guilt is far more than that, his character has actually been hinted at for a long time. Let's take this opportunity and sort them all out. ”

The Zhongchang attendant "snorted", then looked at Sima Jingling, and then under Sima Jingling's eyes, she brought in several palace people she had prepared for the Twelve Princes Liwei.
