Chapter 144: Final Conclusion (I)
After Xie Zheng finished speaking, Shen Yuzhi immediately responded triumphantly: "What the county lord of Shanyin said is that a few people should be sent to guard here. β
After he spoke, he was about to order the accompanying troops to arrange, but saw Xiao Zhen and Yin Luo rushing over on fast horses.
When the master and servant walked outside the crowd, Yin Luo jumped down, but Xiao Zhen did not stop, but rode into the crowd on horseback, he listened to the grave keeper's report, saying that Shen Yuzhi led people to break into the cemetery, surrounded Xie Yu's tomb, and threatened to open the coffin for autopsy, and rushed over, until this time, he saw that Xie Yu's tomb had been dug up, and even the coffin had been opened.
Xiao Zhen seemed to have lost his mind, almost crazy, Huan Ling saw Xiao Zhen riding a horse and killing all the way, and hurriedly pulled Xie Zheng back to hide.
He rushed over at the right time and killed five or six people along the way, including the Shen family's subordinates and the Hou Mansion's subordinates, so the subordinates of the two families raised their spears in unison and prepared to fight.
Yin Luo dismounted and followed, and hurriedly called: "Your Highness! Your Highness! β
Xiao Zhen didn't seem to hear it, rushed to the front of the tomb before turning over and dismounting, kneeling on one knee, the sword in his hand was also inserted into the soft loess, he held the sword in one hand to support his body, looked down at the coffin, and called anxiously: "Yanghou!" What about Yanghou...... What about Yanghou! β
He glanced around, then drew his sword and got up, rushed to Xie Zheng, who was closest to him, and asked, "Where is Yanghou...... Where is Yanghou! β
"I ......" Xie Zheng didn't expect Xiao Zhen to treat her so crazy, she was confused for a while, and she couldn't answer, Xiao Zheng was so angry at the moment that he seemed to have reached the point of going crazy, and he didn't even recognize Xie Zheng, he saw that Xie Zheng couldn't answer, so he waved his sword and pointed at her, and reprimanded: "I asked you where Yanghou is!" You say! β
Huan Ling was afraid that Xiao Zheng would lose control and hurt Xie Zheng, so he hurriedly pulled Xie Zheng behind him, he protected Xie Zheng in front of him, stretched out his hand and pointed at Shen Yuzhi, and said to Xiao Zheng unceremoniously: "You want to know where Xie Yu is, go and ask him!" Ask Deyin what he is doing! β
Shen Yuzhi couldn't help Xiao Zhen no matter what, seeing Huan Ling pointing at him, he was naturally panicked, so he also took two steps back in a panic, but Xiao Zhen was already holding the sword and slowly approaching him.
Not only was Shen Yuzhi retreating, but a group of subordinates raised their spears and aimed them at Xiao Zhen, and when they saw him menacing, they also dodged back.
Yin Luo was afraid that Xiao Zhen would kill Shen Yu on the spot, and it would be difficult to make a deal with Xiao Daozhi at that time, so he hurriedly chased after him, grabbed Xiao Zhen's arm from behind, tried to stop him, and persuaded: "Your Highness! No! β
How did you know that Xiao Zhen didn't know anyone at the moment, so he immediately stabbed Yin Luo in the chest with the hilt of his sword.
"Your Highness!" Seeing the situation, Xie Zheng also wanted to rush up and grab Xiao Zheng, Yin Luo was hit by Xiao Zheng, he covered his chest in pain, and staggered back, fortunately Xie Zheng was behind him, and reached out and pushed his lower back, which stabilized him.
After Yin Luo stood firm, Xie Zheng immediately went to chase Xiao Zhen, but was pulled by Huan Ling, only to hear Huan Ling whispering in her ear: "Don't go!" The sword has no eyes, beware of letting him hurt! β
"But ......"
Huan Ling didn't allow Xie Zheng to say more, so he grabbed the words and said in his ear: "If he wants to kill you, will you make a move or not?" β
The implication is that when Xiao Zheng made a move against Xie Zheng, if Xie Zheng didn't fight back, he would undoubtedly let himself be injured, but if he fought back, he would have confirmed today's crime.
Xie Zheng thought about it carefully, even if he was worried that Xiao Zhen would do something out of the ordinary, he could only let it go.
Xiao Zhen had already walked to Shen Yuzhi, Shen Yuzhi had no way to retreat, there was no way to hide, so Xiao Zhen grabbed his collar and asked calmly: "Tell me, where is Yanghou?" β
No one saw it, when he forced Shen Yu to ask, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and tears were flashing, he was really forced to have no choice!
Shen Yuzhi was especially frightened, and he didn't dare to speak for a while, Xiao Zhen became angry again, pulling his collar with one hand, waving his sword across his neck with the other, and roaring: "Say! Where the hell have you hidden Yanghou! You said! β
Shen Yuzhi's personal trilogy on the side actually ate the bear's heart leopard gall, and he also stole the bell with lightning speed, drew his sword to block Xiao Zhen's neck, Yin Luo still covered his chest, as if he had suffered a lot of internal injuries, he saw that the trilogy was rude, and immediately raised his other finger and scolded: "You...... Stop! β
The bend didn't move at all, but Xiao Zhen didn't even look at him, although he had noticed that he was holding a sword to seal his throat, he didn't care, but instead moved half a step forward, approached Shen Yuzhi, and shouted uncontrollably: "Say!" β
"Presumptuous!"
There was an angry rebuke not far away, and everyone followed the reputation, and saw a mighty group of people walking quickly, including more than a dozen internal prisoners, and dozens of northern troops led by Chen Qingzhi.
This group of people, the leader is Xiao Daocheng, and Pei Huizhao and Qu Ping follow behind him one left and one right, this holy car seems to have been invited by Pei Huizhao.
Qu Ping twisted his throat and shouted in a shrill voice: "The holy driver is here, why don't you hurry up and knock on the prime minister!" β
When everyone heard this, they knelt on the ground one after another, bowing their heads and shouting in unison: "Long live your majesty, long live, long live." β
Shen Yuzhi's close-fitting subordinates, when he saw the holy driver coming here, he hurriedly withdrew his sword, and at this moment he knelt down with everyone.
Xiao Zhen and Shen Yuzhi were still standing, standing still, Xiao Daocheng walked over and called out with a gloomy face: "Prince!" β
Hearing this call, Xiao Zhen put down the sword in his hand very reluctantly, but as if he was physically and mentally exhausted, he casually threw the sword aside, and then knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Shen Yuzhi also knelt on the ground in a hurry, pretending to be aggrieved: "Your Majesty! β
Xiao Daocheng glanced at the people kneeling in front of him, and said angrily: "What's going on!" Are you all trying to rebel one by one! β
"Your Majesty!" Shen Yuzhi pretended to be pitiful, preemptively complained to Xiao Daocheng, and said: "The old minister was ordered by His Majesty to open the coffin for an autopsy and verify the identity of the county lord of Shanyin, and the consequence really found out that the identity of the county lord was doubtful, and the old minister proposed to invite the county lord into the palace to listen to His Majesty's fate, but he didn't know that the county lord not only did not cooperate, but also found the prince and the county marquis of Yongxiu to force the old minister to hide the facts from His Majesty......"
"You talk nonsense!" Yuzhi knelt behind Xie Zheng, and was angry for a while, so he straightened up and stretched out his hand to point at Shen Yuzhi, Xie Zheng knew that Xiao Daocheng was angry at the moment, and no one was allowed to intervene indiscriminately, she was afraid that Yuzhi would be condemned by Xiao Daocheng, so she also hurriedly straightened up, turned her back to Yuzhi, and reprimanded unhappily: "Yuzhi!" Can't say more! β
Yuzhi closed her mouth unconvinced, then bent down again, and stopped talking.
Xie Zheng looked at Xiao Daocheng and calmly explained: "Your Majesty, Weichen is just a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, and her strength is weak, and General Shen is resolute and resolute, and he led troops to surround this place, threatening to kill Weichen on the spot, Weichen is greedy for life and afraid of death, how dare he make a mistake under his nose!" β
"As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Marquis of Yongxiu County," Xie Zheng said, and glanced at Xiao Zhen and Huan Ling respectively, and then continued to look up at Xiao Daocheng, and said: "Your Majesty, you can know that Wei Chen came out of the palace until the cemetery, and all the way, he was always watched by General Shen and his subordinates. Weichen doesn't have three heads and six arms, and he doesn't know how to doppelgΓ€nger, so how can he have the ability to reach the sky, and he can avoid so many pairs of eyes and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Marquis of Yongxiu County for help? β
What should be defended, what should be explained, Xie Zheng has made it clear in Fang Cai's words, she said Shen Youzhi's domineering, bullying, and making him unstoppable, and also said that she was weak and helpless, lonely and helpless, and said that she was vulnerable.
Compared with the two, her weakness naturally made Xiao Daocheng feel pity.
Shen Yuzhi noticed the slight change in expression on Xiao Daocheng's face, and hurriedly argued: "Your Majesty! The lord of Sanyin County has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, in order to clear the suspicion, the wicked person sued first! β
"Who is the wicked person who sued first, General Shen, you must know it all too well in your heart."
Xie Zheng was calm and said lightly, and on the surface, he seemed to disdain to argue with Shen Youzhi.
Shen Yuzhi was red-faced and reprimanded: "Anti-thief!" You're just afraid that the old man will ...... you."
Without waiting for Shen Yuzhi to finish speaking, Xiao Daocheng reprimanded with a calm face: "Enough! β
Shen Yuzhi was scolded by Xiao Daocheng like this, and he was immediately afraid to speak.
Xiao Daocheng called out at this time: "Get up." β
After everyone stood up, Xiao Daocheng asked Xiao Zhen: "Prince, tell me why you are here?" β
Xiao Zhen resented Xiao Daocheng for allowing Shen Yuzhi to dig the grave, but he didn't answer when he heard the words, but turned his face away, Xiao Daocheng had a gloomy face, obviously very unhappy.
Seeing the situation, Yin quickly explained: "Your Majesty, Your Highness heard that General Shen was going to move the tomb of Da Sima, so he ...... So they rushed to stop it. β
Xiao Zhen's affection for Xie Yu is known to the world, so Xiao Daocheng didn't blame him, so he turned to Huan Ling: "Huan Ling, you say." β
Huan Ling calmly explained: "Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen wanted to train the government soldiers under the stone mountain today, passing through the woods in front of him, and saw a group of soldiers guarding the entrance of the cemetery from a distance. How did you know that as soon as Weichen came, he saw General Shen leading his troops to besiege the county lord of Shanyin, and ordered his subordinates to execute her on the spot! Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Weichen and the county lord of Shanyin have always had a great friendship, but now seeing that she is in trouble, naturally she can't stand idly by. β
Shen Yu stepped forward to argue: "Full of nonsense! Since you have a great friendship with the county lord of Sanyin, you naturally breathe out of the same nostril with her! After he finished speaking, he hurriedly said to Xiao Daocheng: "Your Majesty, Hou Shicai of Yongxiu County once threatened the old minister, saying that if the old minister moved a finger of the county lord of Shanyin, he would pick off the old minister's head. β
Huan Ling said indifferently: "The merits and demerits of the county lord of Shanyin are judged by His Majesty, let me ask General Shen to cut first and then play, what is his intention?" β
Shen Yuzhi finally couldn't compete with him, and now he had nothing to say, he was afraid that Xiao Daocheng would be guilty, so he hurriedly avoided this topic, so he said to Xiao Daocheng again: "Your Majesty, the old minister was ordered to come to open the coffin for an autopsy, but in the coffin, Xie Yu's body was not seen, please move your majesty," he stretched out his hand and pointed to the coffin.
Xiao Daocheng walked over to take a look, and really saw that the coffin was empty, only the mud and dirt corroded by the wood.
Pei Huizhao and Qu Ping also glanced after him.
Xie Zheng was uneasy and looked at Huan Ling, but at this time Xiao Zheng spoke, he stood in place, just turned to look at Xiao Daocheng, and said expressionlessly: "Father, the bones of Yanghou were personally put into the coffin and buried here, and Hui Zhao was also there at that time," he finally came to his senses, and now he also wants to exonerate Xie Zheng.
Xiao Daocheng looked at Pei Huizhao sideways, and Pei Huizhao said without hesitation: "Yes, Erchen watched His Highness bury Yanghou with his own eyes. β
Before the words fell, I suddenly heard a joking laugh from behind: "Yo, it's really lively, let this king see who is in such a big formation." β
It turned out that Xiao Ying entered the cemetery with a few parts, and was walking here gracefully.
Xiao Dao held back the fire in his belly, and now when he heard this, he was even more annoyed, so he turned around and looked at the gate of the cemetery, Xiao Ying saw that the battle here was quite big, and then he looked at it, only to know that it was Xiao Dao who became a saint, and immediately turned pale with fright, and hurriedly rolled over and knelt down, and called in fear: "Father, ...... emperor"
"Humph!" Xiao Daocheng didn't pay attention to him, just flicked his sleeves, and turned around to turn his back on him.
At this moment, a thunderstorm struck down on the horizon, and suddenly the wind and rain were blowing, and the pouring rain poured down without warning.
The raindrops the size of beans hit people's faces, and they were quite painful.
All the courtiers and subordinates did not dare to move to hide from the rain, and only onlookers fled in a hurry.
Xie Zheng stretched out his wide sleeves and raised them above his head to block the rain, and Huan Ling saw the situation and hurriedly stretched out his sleeves to block Xie Zheng's head.
Xiao Dao raised his hand to block his forehead, raised his head slightly, squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, Qu Ping exclaimed: "Your Majesty, why don't you hide from the rain first, don't get cold." β
The case has not yet been decided, some people naturally don't want Xiao Daocheng to leave like this, Xiao Ying is one of them, he saw an oil-paper umbrella stained with mud and blood on the ground in front of him, hurriedly ran over and picked it up, opened the umbrella to block the rain for Xiao Daocheng, and flatteringly called: "Father." β
The heavy rain washed away the blood stains all over the ground, and also washed away the silt on the inner wall of the coffin, Pei Huizhao, just like Xie Zheng, stretched his sleeves to keep out the rain, but inadvertently saw the coffin washed by the heavy rain, the four walls were spotlessly clean, and there was no trace of decay due to moisture buried in the soil, but it looked like a brand-new coffin, obviously buried in the soil in recent days, and it was not yet time for moisture to rot.
Pei Huizhao was shocked, pointed to the coffin, and exclaimed: "Father, look! β
Several people standing around the tomb heard this, and looked down at the coffin, Qu Ping was dedicated to Xiao Zhen, as the so-called love house and Wu, he naturally helped Xie Zheng everywhere, and when he saw that the coffin was abnormal, he immediately exclaimed to Xiao Daocheng: "This ...... Your Majesty, this coffin has obviously just been put in for a few days! Look at all the mud, but someone deliberately painted it! β
Pei Huizhao also jumped into the grave with all her might, she wanted to examine the evidence carefully, but unexpectedly, what she stepped on was not wet soil, but a hard wooden plank, she stomped her feet, and squatted down to cut off a thin layer of silt above with her bare hands, under this silt, sure enough, a pitch-black wooden board was exposed, she was shocked, and immediately reported to Xiao Daocheng: "Father, there is a coffin under here!" β
