Chapter 536: Interrogating the Fan Family
"Did you hear that? Fan's house was raided! ”
"How could it not be known? Such a big move! When I was raiding my house, I was passing by Fan's house, and I also saw it! ”
"Me too, the old lady of the Fan family is a lot older, but it's really ...... Tsk......"
"Who is to blame for this? It was rumored that the concubine was the murderer of the queen! Now it seems that I am afraid that it is me.
By the way, you don't know yet, the Fan family relied on himself to be a gentleman of the imperial court, and let those ministers do a lot of violations of discipline and regulations! But it can make our people miserable! ”
"I know this, I always thought that the Fan family was a good person, but I didn't expect it to be different! He's a black-hearted man! ”
"But no, I also heard that the emperor valued the Fan family, and because the Fan family said about the idle king and the Su family in front of the emperor, the prime minister resigned directly!"
"Huh? Isn't the prime minister sick? I remember because I was framed...... Wait, could it be that he was framed by the Fan family? ”
Everyone glanced at each other, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes, and then tacitly walked into the teahouse box and shared their guesses.
At the same time, in the imperial study, Mu Chenning was spinning in place, and when Xiao Lizi ran in, Mu Chenning's eyes lit up: "How?" ”
Xiao Lizi shook his head: "Your Majesty, the prince said that all the military power has been handed over, he is just an idle prince, and he can't be the master of the court, so he won't come to see the emperor." ”
The smile on Mu Chenning's face disappeared, and he said slowly: "I know, you must watch the Xian Wangfu." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Mu Chenning took a deep breath, walked to the dragon chair and sat down: "Xuan Qin Luoyi entered the palace." ”
Qin Luoyi, who was dressed in red, came with money, and after saluting and greeting him, he said: "Now that the Fan family has been imprisoned, and they will be interrogated in public in three days, whether it is human or physical evidence, what is the emperor still worried about?" ”
Mu Chenning shook his head: "It's not the Fan family that I watch out for, but Uncle Wang. ”
"Idle King?" Qin Luoyi raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "I don't know what the emperor thinks?" ”
Mu Chenning sighed before saying: "Although Uncle Wang no longer has real power, many people in the barracks recognize Uncle Wang, and don't say this, what I'm afraid of is that Uncle Wang will take advantage of the fight between me and the Fan family to have other thoughts." ”
"Although the emperor can rest assured, the prince will not have such thoughts." Qin Luoyi put down the teacup, "Actually, the previous emperor himself also knew that the prince had no interest in the throne. ”
"The Su family is even more of a loyal family, but the Fan family and the Marquis of Yanping have been mentioning their orders in the emperor's ear, exaggerating, making the emperor suspicious, the emperor might as well think about it, whether it is the Su family or the idle king, have you ever done anything against the emperor?"
"The minister has also discussed this matter with the emperor before, and the emperor can check and balance the three parties, but he can't do it directly, but ......"
Qin Luoyi smiled helplessly: "However, the emperor listened to the Fan family and the Marquis of Yanping, which gave the Fan family an opportunity to take advantage of." ”
Mu Chenning clenched his hands into fists, as if he was trying his best to hide something.
Qin Luoyi continued: "Your Majesty, since the situation has become like this, then the emperor will do what he wishes in his heart, first convict the Fan family, and then slowly figure it out. ”
Mu Chenning closed his eyes and said for a long time, "You're right. ”
Just when Mu Chenning summoned Qin Luoyi, Yanping Hou came to the prison.
Old lady Fan was leaning against the wall, her hair was messy, and there were blood stains on the corners of her mouth.
When he saw Yanping Hou, his eyes opened slightly, and he said mockingly: "Yanping Hou came to see my jokes?" ”
"Hahaha!" Yanping Hou smiled, "Old lady, I once reminded you, don't underestimate the idle king, it was you who insisted on going your own way, and now you have fallen into such a field, are you blaming me?" ”
"Humph!" Old Lady Fan snorted coldly and said lightly, "Marquis Yanping, since the emperor has already attacked me, how long do you think your thoughts can be hidden?" ”
Yanping Hou smiled: "My mind has never been hidden from the emperor!" ”
Old lady Fan frowned: "You ......"
Yanpinghou walked into the cell, and the three masters of the Fan family hurriedly blocked in front of Yanpinghou and looked at him vigilantly.
Yanping Hou stopped and said slowly: "Old lady Fan, the emperor dared to attack the former emperor when he was still an unknown prince without any background, why can't he see your intentions?" ”
Old Lady Fan stood up, stared at Yanping Hou, and said word by word: "What do you mean by this!" ”
"Literally, the emperor has already discovered your thoughts, but in order to trip the Su family and King Xian, so he acquiesced to your doing."
After a pause, Yanping Hou continued: "As for the tricks you found out about me, it was just that the emperor deliberately asked me to show it. ”
Old Lady Fan's body shook a little, and she opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.
The three masters of the Fan family were stunned, and the eldest master of the Fan family held back the fear in his heart and asked, "When?" ”
"At the beginning, the emperor really wanted to reuse the Fan family, but the desire in your hearts is getting bigger and bigger, the emperor naturally left a hand just in case, took a step back, and you naturally revealed your desires."
"When Old Lady Fan protected the concubine, the emperor decided to fight back."
"As for me, hehe, I want the throne, it's just a gimmick, I'm also the emperor's cousin, not to mention that I can't have children, how can the emperor believe that I want to rebel?"
"Also, you are not royals after all, so naturally you don't know about it, but as long as you are careful and treat me as an ally, not a dog, you won't fail to find out, Mu Yan is just my adopted daughter, not my biological daughter!"
In one sentence, Old Lady Fan's pupils shrank suddenly, and his hand trembled and pointed at Yanping Hou: "You...... In that case, why would you even work with me? ”
"I just want to get into the eyes of the emperor, after all, in this way, I will enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of my life, and now no one dares to offend me, after all, it is the emperor standing behind me!"
"Hahahaha!" Yanping Hou laughed loudly, turned around, and left.
However, because of Yanping Hou's words, Mrs. Fan didn't catch her breath, and directly spit out a mouthful of blood, and her body became weaker and weaker.
"Daddy!"
The three masters of the Fan family were taken aback and shouted one after another.
And the third generation of the Fan family are all mediocre people, except for shrinking in the corner, they really don't know what to do.
After leaving the prison, the Marquis of Yanping went to the imperial study, and just happened to pass by Qin Luoyi.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready." The Marquis of Yanping arched his hand, and his eyebrows were full of respect, "Now, the Xian Wang and the Su family have declined, and the Fan family has been executed, in this world, the emperor is alone, and he will no longer be restrained by anyone!" ”
A smile appeared on Mu Chenning's face: "Okay!" ”
"By the way, Your Majesty, what are you going to do with the concubine?" Yanping Hou asked suspiciously.
Mu Chenning's eyes flashed with a hint of uncertainty: "I have my own opinions. ”
Hearing this, Yanping Hou didn't ask any more questions, and said goodbye and left.
As soon as Yanpinghou left, Mu Chenning leaned back in his chair and sighed heavily.
"The emperor still has something to do?" Xiao Lizi asked suspiciously.
Mu Chenning shook his head.
In a flash, it was three days later.
The execution table was already surrounded by ordinary people, pointing at the people of the Fan family who were kneeling on the ground.
When the old lady of the Fan family came up, everyone was talking louder.
The old lady of the Fan family knelt down with her chest covered, her gray hair was messy, and she had long lost her previous strategy.
"The emperor has arrived!"
As a shrill voice sounded, everyone knelt down and saluted.
Mu Chenning lifted the dragon robe, sat on the upper seat, and said to Lord Zhou on the side: "Let's start!" ”
In the corner, the seven sons of the Su family and Mu Rongyun were all there, and several people glanced at each other without speaking.
On the other side, Fan Baoyu was supported by the blue sky, the faces of the master and servant were not very good, looking at the father, brother and grandfather kneeling in the middle, Fan Baoyu bit his lip deadly.
"Miss, we shouldn't have come back in the first place! You have the name of a talented woman, how many kings and grandsons want to marry you, and now they have returned to Mu Chaoguo, but they have ended up like this......"
Lan Tian's tone was full of unwillingness.
"And the white clouds! Actually betrayed you, Miss! How could she be like this! ”
Fan Baoyu glanced at the guards who were watching him, smiled bitterly, and said slowly: "After all, I am from Mu Chaoguo. ”
"Miss......" Lan Tian's tone was full of tears, and her eyes were full of distress, "Miss, old lady, did they really do those things as the emperor said?" ”
"Impossible!" Fan Baoyu shook his head, with a solemn look on his face, "How could my grandfather do something harmful to the country?" My grandfather hated these the most, and my grandfather once told me that if it weren't for those corrupt officials, my Mu Dynasty would be even stronger! So, there must be some misunderstanding here! ”
Lan Tian nodded, and a look of determination appeared on his face.
Mu Chenning glanced around, and for a moment, there was no sound.
"Fan Feng, you are guilty!"
With Mu Chenning's questioning, the interrogation began!
Fan Feng knelt on the ground, bowing his head, he knew that everything had become a certainty!
"Grass people Fan Feng, confess your guilt!"
One sentence, but it made Fan Baoyu's face full of shock: "How come!" How could a grandfather confess! ”
"There must be something hidden in this! There must be! ”
Saying that, Fan Baoyu ignored the blue sky's obstruction and rushed out directly: "Grandfather! ”
Fan Baoyu's sudden force made the people guarding the surroundings quickly rush out, but Mu Chenning waved his hand, and then looked at Fan Baoyu.
Fan Baoyu knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely: "Your Majesty, the concubines are not convinced!" Where is the grandfather guilty! You're a trick! ”
The people around them looked at each other, their faces full of doubt.
Mu Chenning said lightly: "Bending into a move? ”
Fan Baoyu's face was serious, and his tone was full of seriousness: "My grandfather is loyal and patriotic, and he will never do anything to damage the country, Your Majesty!" There is no excuse for the sin you want to add! You're going to chill the hearts of your loyal ministers! ”
Fan Feng looked at Fan Baoyu who was blocking him with complicated eyes, and squirmed his lips a few times, but he couldn't say a word.
Mu Chenning smiled: "Okay!" I'll convince you today! Come! Venerable Master's Evidence! ”
