Chapter 53: Investigation of the Case (2)

Shu Yao was stimulated by his attitude, but there was a struggle to not make a big move on his hand: "Your hand is bleeding, let me down." ”

Qianyan didn't seem to hear her words, and walked to the door of the Jinluan Hall before letting her down. Shu Yao's feet fell to the ground, and he immediately moved away from Qianyan, angry at his behavior of insisting on carrying her away despite his body.

Qian Yan didn't say anything about Shu Yao's behavior, just approached and touched her hair, took her hand and waited for the emperor's announcement outside.

It was from midnight to noon that the emperor summoned him to the audience. Qian Yan straightened his clothes before walking towards the Jinluan Hall above. Huang Yu glanced at him worriedly, hoping that this time he could successfully break the siege.

Lord Chang had just cried bitterly in front of the emperor, and now when he saw that the murderer who killed his son was in front of him, he rushed out of the crowd excitedly and wanted to beat him, but was stopped by the people around him. Master Chang couldn't beat him, and scolded Qianyan all over again.

The emperor sitting on the top of the throne looked at the farce below lightly, and when he saw that they were almost making trouble, he spoke: "Okay, Chang Aiqing, you just lost your beloved son, and the grief in your mood is understandable." But this is above the court, not a place for you to make noise at will, and you must abide by the rules. ”

Lord Chang turned around and knelt in front of the emperor, his voice sad: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want to lose his dignity in the court, and the minister loses his beloved son, he really can't control the impulse in his heart!" Master Chang touched his tears and cried to the emperor.

The emperor has heard this several times, and he really doesn't want to hear him say such things again, so he casually said a few words to send him away: "Chang Aiqing loves his son, I don't blame you for the fault of losing your honor in front of the palace, you go back, I will interrogate and interrogate him." ”

Master Chang stood up tremblingly and returned to the middle of the group. Qianyan didn't do anything dissatisfied with Chang Daren's series of behaviors, and thought about how to solve the matter.

The emperor looked at Qian Yan, who was still standing upright below, and his face suddenly turned bad. The big eunuch next to him was the best at observing words and feelings, and when he saw that the emperor was angry, he immediately said loudly to Qianyan below: "The prisoner Qianyan still kneels down to see the Son of Heaven." ”

Qian Yan slowly knelt down.

When the emperor saw Qian Yan kneeling down, his face was not much better than before, and he pointed the finger at the seven princes below: "Old Seven! This Qianyan was the person you recommended during the drought at that time, and I also remembered his merits and authorized him to become a foreigner. It's just that it's only been three months since this Qianyan committed such a big crime. You say, how I should punish him? ”

The Seven Princes knelt in the lobby, speechless.

The emperor seemed to be very satisfied with him like this, and his mood was better: "Since you are not using people properly, then you will be punished for being grounded for half a month and not allowed to leave the house, as for this Qianyan, just pull it down and behead it at noon tomorrow." ”

The heart of the Seventh Prince sank to the bottom, he knew Qianyan's character, knew that it was impossible for him to do such a thing as hurting people's lives, he couldn't watch Qianyan being wronged like this. "Father's ......"

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a fair thing to say." Huang Yu stepped forward and said.

"What do you have to say?"

Huang Yu: "Your Majesty, Wechen caught the murderer the day before yesterday and pursued him to the treasury, and Qian, the prisoner Qianyan was arrested by Wechen. After returning to the case, Weichen carefully looked at the wound of the prisoner Qianyan, and invited a doctor to show Qianyan the wound, which was indeed not injured by our weapons, but by special weapons in the military department. ”

The emperor: "Then you found out that he didn't do it, why didn't you report it and release him." ”

Before Huang Yu could answer, Master Chang said excitedly: "You are talking nonsense, Huang Yu, it is not in vain that I treated you well in the past, but now you are watching my son being killed, and you are harboring the murderer." ”

The emperor glanced at Qian Yan who was kneeling below, he knelt straight, and he had a posture that was not afraid of shadows.

Huang Yu was silent, and Shu Yao nervously tugged at Qianyan's clothes, afraid that this matter would be punished like this.

Fortunately, Huang Yu spoke: "The emperor doesn't know anything, Weichen Yu Qian has never met before, and he has only heard one or two sentences about the merits of Qian Daren from street rumors." When Weichen arrested thousands of adults, there were not a few people who saw it. After a day of fermentation, everyone knows about it. Wei Chen did not release him for the safety of the thousand adults, and did not report it to the court, because before he had time to report it, Chang Daren had already told the emperor about this matter. ”

The emperor: "So, it's because Lord Chang informed you about this matter before you, so you didn't report it?"

Huang Yu pondered the meaning of the emperor's words, and fell to the ground with his head in fright: "Your Majesty, Weichen didn't deliberately fail to report it, but it was too late to report this matter." ”

The emperor was already trembling with fright when he saw him below, and the satisfaction of being feared by others filled his mind. When he was in a good mood, he stopped pressuring him.

Turning to look at Qianyan's body: "Qianyan, since this Huang Yu is speaking for you, what do you want to say about this matter." If, as he said, you are not a murderer, then the real murderer will enter your treasury and disappear. Even if you don't go to the murderer, you can't escape the responsibility of chasing the murderer. ”

Qian Yan replied: "Weichen has never done anything harmful to the court, the country, and the people. The wound on Wei Chen's hand was the wound of the soldiers of the Treasury Department, and it was a unique weapon in the Treasury Department. When he was in prison, Lord Huang Yu saw that the wound on Wei Chen's hand was not injured by them, and specially invited dozens of doctors to show Wei Chen the wound. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can ask the imperial doctor in the court to come and check it. ”

"Xuan."

After waiting for a while, the imperial doctor was brought over by the eunuch and showed Qian Yan the injury.

The emperor has been paying attention to the situation below in the upper position, and when he saw that the imperial doctor had finished reading it, he asked, "How is it?" ”

The imperial doctor replied: "Your Majesty, this Qianyan's injury was indeed injured by a weapon, as for whether it is a weapon of the military department or a weapon in prison, the old minister still needs to see it to know." ”

Huang Yu heard the words of the imperial doctor and immediately ordered someone to fetch his sword. It didn't take long for the sword to be retrieved, and the imperial doctor took a look at it and gave it back to Huang Yu. said to the emperor: "Back to the emperor, the injury of Qianyan that the old minister saw was not the injury of the sword in the hand of Lord Huang Yu. ”

Emperor: "Didn't you get hurt by the sword?" ”

"Exactly."

"That being the case, I have wronged the outsider." Although the emperor's words said apologies, his expression still didn't seem to be apologetic at all, and he was very high.
