Chapter 139: Beaten to Death with a Stick
After being reprimanded by the emperor himself, the Lin family finally settled down, was pressed by the guards, and obediently knelt in the hall.
"Lin, what is your relationship with Helan Chi?" Mu Zun asked.
Helan Chi clenched his fists, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and he was terrified to the extreme.
He turned his head to look at Lin, his eyes were full of begging, but Lin didn't look at him, and replied directly, "We have nothing to do with each other." ”
Hearing this, Helan's tense nerves instantly relaxed, however, the next thing I heard Lin say again: "It's just that I've been secretly corresponding, entangled, and hiding together from time to time to steal a relationship." ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar, and the ministers all glared at Lin with monster-like eyes, and secretly scolded her shamelessly in their hearts.
The fact that a woman can say such an immoral thing in front of so many people without concealing it really defiles everyone's ears.
And the most embarrassing thing at this time is Feng Heng, when she knew that the Lin family was stealing people, she should have been driven out of the Feng family and out of the capital, what a regret!
"Lin, you are talking nonsense, spraying people with blood! When have I been in contact with you? He Lanchi finally broke out completely, "I can't fight with you for eight strokes, how can there be the kind of dirty relationship you said?" Who told you to slander me? ”
Lin sneered and looked sideways.
"You and I have known each other for more than ten years, we are happy and affectionate, and I even conceived a child for you, but now you are embarrassed to say that I slander you?"
"Helan Chi, you really deserve to be a thin lover."
Hearing this, there was another uproar in the hall, and the ministers exchanged heads and ears, and there were many discussions.
Feng Heng stood upright, his expression was blank, his old face had been lost.
"You stinky bitch, shut up!"
Helan Chi was completely out of control, and actually got up and rushed at Lin, choking her neck fiercely
A minister standing nearby hurriedly shouted: "Pull the man away, he wants to kill people!" ”
The two guards had no choice but to step forward to stop the small chaos.
At this time, another extremely embarrassed person stood up, pointed to Helan Chi's nose and asked, "He Lan Chi, are you really having an affair with this woman?" Are you worthy of my daughter? ”
This is Helan Chi's father-in-law, Zhang Xian, Marquis of Wenyuan.
"Father-in-law, don't listen to her nonsense, I did know her more than ten years ago and had a relationship, but soon we separated and went our separate ways, and we haven't been in touch since."
He Lanchi understands very well that if he wants to survive now, he must rely on this father-in-law, so no matter what, he must first gain his trust and let him help him for his daughter's sake.
"Although we have been in the capital together all these years, we have hardly met, and even if we meet in public, it is only to say hello, I really haven't broken off with her, let alone do those unsightly things."
"Father-in-law, you also know that my relationship with my wife has been very good all these years, and I am single-minded towards her, how can I provoke other women?"
"What's more, the Lin family is still the concubine of Dingguo Gong, how dare I get involved? Father-in-law, what I said was the truth, it was the Lin family who slandered me, you can't fall for her! ”
Although Helan Chi is not from a good background, he is quite knowledgeable and self-motivated, and the most important thing is that he treats his wife very well, and he has not even accepted a concubine over the years, so Marquis Wen Yuan has always been very satisfied with this son-in-law.
This time, Helan Chi was involved in a rebellion case, and Wen Yuanhou also tried his best to save him, not only for his daughter, but also because he really valued this person.
But now this incident has happened, which really hurts him.
However, deep down, Marquis Wen Yuanhou tended to believe in Helan Chi, and after listening to his defense, it was even more so.
So, after thinking for a while, Marquis Wen Yuan turned to Mu Zun and said, "Your Majesty, Helan ......"
"Marquis Wen Yuan wants to defend Helan Chi, but he has to think about it." Lin immediately interrupted him, "This person has a bad record, and you are afraid that you will regret it in a while." ”
Wen Yuanhou immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Presumptuous! Benhou is talking to the emperor, where is your part? ”
Lin scoffed.
"I'm trying to prevent Hou Ye from catching fire, you know, Helan Chi is not the only woman who has been involved, as far as I know, there is a woman who is much more noble than me who also has an affair with him."
As he spoke, Lin deliberately glanced at He Lanchi and chuckled.
"Do you want to know who that man is?"
Helan Chi scolded in a trembling voice: "Lin family! Hugh will talk nonsense again, or I'll tear your mouth apart! ”
Seeing that he actually threatened the Lin family, everyone was even more curious, and they all looked over.
"That woman is the biological mother of the third prince, Concubine Lan!"
"Hehe, how's it going? You didn't expect that, right? ”
Lin smiled more and more heartily.
Others couldn't laugh, wishing they were deaf.
Concubine Lan is the emperor's woman, as soon as this news broke out, and she was in front of a real civil and military official, how could the emperor's face exist?
Lin's laughter gradually stopped, and the hall was silent, and it was terrifyingly quiet.
"What did you say?"
It could be heard that Mu Zun's words were squeezed out word by word between his teeth, and each word contained a heavy anger, and even the air around him seemed to become cold, which made people shudder.
The ministers wiped their sweat silently, and their hearts beat drums.
Something is wrong......
Mu Zun stared at the Lin family, and his eyes burst out with a murderous aura.
"Lin, do you know that slandering the reputation of the royal family is a capital crime?"
"Your Majesty, what I'm saying is the truth, Helan Chi is a scumbag, he has affairs with many women, except for me, the only one I know is Concubine Lan, and I don't know how many others I haven't found." Lin straightened his back and said with a full sense of anger.
Anyway, she doesn't want to live, there is no need to be afraid of the emperor, the only goal before death is to destroy Helan Chi, so that he will be spurned by the world, ruined and ruined, and life is better than death.
Without waiting for Mu Zun to ask again, Helan Chi roared angrily: "Lin family, I have no grievances with you, why do you slander me like this?" What's in it for you? ”
"No grievances? You killed our children with your own hands, and you used me to do things for you, on the surface you were single-minded to me, soft-spoken, but in fact, you had already hooked up with other women and committed adultery, leaving me behind, you hurt me so much, and you still told me that there is no injustice and no hatred? ”
"Still talking nonsense!" Helan Chi has no other way than to resist and deny it, "Don't believe her words, this woman is crazy, all she says is crazy, and she can't be true!" ”
However, once some words are heard, they are easy to be taken seriously, and no matter how they are interpreted, they will pale in the eyes of others.
"You said that Concubine Lan had an affair with Helan Chi, what evidence is there?" Mu Zun gritted his teeth and asked.
Lin smiled lightly: "The evidence is the third prince." ”
What does this mean?
The ministers lowered their heads and wondered, and they couldn't help but be frightened.
Could it be that the third prince is ......
"What do you mean?" Mu Zun asked again, his eyes red as if they were about to drip blood.
"Over the years, Concubine Lan's mother has been favored in the palace by virtue of her son, and she almost became the queen mother with the help of the third prince's army, but what no one knows is that the third prince is not the royal blood at all, but him," Lin suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at He Lanchi, "Helan Chi's flesh and blood!" ”
"How can it be!"
Mu Zun refused to believe that Concubine Lan would have an affair with other men, and he couldn't accept this fact, besides, all the civil and military officials here are here, if the matter of Concubine Lan and He Lanchi is confirmed, he, the emperor, will become the laughing stock of the world, what face will he have to face the officials and the people in the future?
Therefore, he must immediately shut up this woman's mouth to prevent this matter from continuing to make trouble.
"Come on, this crazy woman has ruined the reputation of the royal family, her crime is unforgivable, she will be dragged down immediately and beaten to death with a stick!"
The Lin family was not afraid, and continued calmly: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can have a blood test with the third prince, whether I am talking nonsense or not, I will know it as soon as I check it!" ”
Mu Zun couldn't bear it anymore, swept off the folds and tea sets on the bookcase, and immediately patted the case: "Take it down and execute it on the spot!" ”
The ministers were so frightened that they hurriedly fell to the ground, not daring to squeak.
Lin didn't resist at all, let the guards drag him, his face was calm, and when he looked at Helan Chi, a weird smile flowed from the corner of his mouth, which was creepy.
"Escort Helan Chi back to the prison! Retreat! ”
Mu Zun said, and walked away with his sleeves.
After the honor guards all walked out of the Jinluan Hall and the footsteps disappeared from the top, the ministers raised their heads one after another.
Lin was beaten to death with a stick, although Feng Heng hated this woman who had lost face, but he was quite pitiful when he thought that she had no one to collect the body, and finally let people claim the body back and find a place to bury it.
When Mu Liancheng returned to the Prince's Mansion after finishing his business, Feng Qingfang was sitting leisurely under the gazebo in his courtyard, drinking tea, staring at the chess game in front of him and studying something.
This unceremoniously not treating himself as an outsider made Mu Liancheng happy.
"When did you like to play chess too?"
"Hey, you're back?" Feng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and poured a cup of tea for him, "I don't know how to play chess, I just have nothing to do and just look at it, this is still the chess game left before you left." ”
Mu Liancheng glanced at the chessboard when he sat down, and sure enough, it was the endgame he didn't finish yesterday.
"How long have you been?"
"About half an hour." Feng Qing picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, and smiled with satisfaction: "That kid from Eryou is becoming more and more aware of my tastes, and knows that I like to eat hazelnut cakes and cloud cakes, and every time I come back, he entertains me with this, it's so intimate." ”
She sat here eating and drinking, and a few plates of snacks almost all went into her stomach.
Mu Liancheng lightly hooked the corners of his lips, where is the second tour intimate, obviously he has thoroughly understood her taste, and specially let people prepare it.
"By the way, how are things going?" Feng lightly patted the pastry crumble in his hand, and finally asked about the matter.
Mu Liancheng replied gently: "It's going well." ”
What they said was naturally the Lin family's big trouble in the Jinluan Palace.
