Chapter 227: Escape smoothly

"You." King Ning pressed down with his palm behind him, signaling Prime Minister Yan not to be impulsive, Prime Minister Yan glared at Lord Lin gloomily, desperately suppressing the anger in his heart. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.

"Then let's call witnesses." The emperor said.

"Your Majesty." Hearing the emperor's words, Prime Minister Yan looked at the emperor, but the emperor ignored it.

Gonggong Li straightened up and shouted towards the door of the main hall: "Witness! ”

"Witness~" The father-in-law who was guarding the door of the main hall said loudly.

After a while, a man in his thirties hurriedly walked in from outside the main hall, stood in front of the hundred officials, and knelt down towards the emperor: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Flat." The emperor looked at the man, nodded and said.

The man took it from the ground, and King Ning recognized who this man was at a glance, this man was indeed Lord Lian who had been to Wuzhou with King Ning. King Ning frowned and stared at this Lord Lian deadly. However, King Ning still didn't believe that Lord Lian would reveal his affairs to Lord Lin. Because, on the way to Wuzhou and back with King Ning, this Lord Lian saved his life many times. Moreover, during the period of Wuzhou's governance, even the adults have always been very pertinent and upright, so how could they expose themselves? Is it too much integrity? King Ning couldn't figure it out, he didn't believe that he would see the wrong person.

Even the adults felt that someone was watching him behind him, and even the adults turned their heads and met King Ning's scrutinizing gaze, and the adults lowered their heads in shame. King Ning stared straight at the top of his jet-black head.

"Lord Lian, do you want to explain to the emperor what is written on this piece of paper?" Lord Lin saw that Lord Lian didn't dare to speak when he looked at King Ning, so he reminded him loudly.

"Back to the emperor, Weichen Lian Zhenxing is one of the officials who went to Wuzhou with King Ning to deal with the evil disease before. Wechen wants to report King Ning's evil deeds during his time in Wuzhou. Lord Lian knelt down and said straight.

"Evil deeds?" The emperor suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Yes, during the time that King Ning was in Wuzhou, he not only sent soldiers from the south to manage him, but also had dealings with the cult in Wuzhou." Even the adults said with a heartfelt voice.

"You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, do you have proof?" The emperor looked at Lord Lian sternly and asked.

"In fact, the evil disease in Wuzhou was caused by the evil cult in Wuzhou, and the reason why we were able to cure the evil disease in Wuzhou so quickly after we arrived in Wuzhou was because King Ning had dealings with the evil cult in Wuzhou. Before, we sent people to arrest this cult, and we obviously followed those followers up the mountain, but when we got to the mountain, those followers escaped. This shows that someone must have deliberately let this believer go. Also, later, the people of Wuzhou came out to make trouble, and then the people of Wuzhou contracted a bad disease again. As a result, King Ning later cured the evil diseases of these people. If it weren't for King Ning's connection with the cult in Wuzhou, how could King Ning let the evil disease occur when, and how could he be easily cured? Lord Lian said.

"There is also King Ning who also raided a wealthy merchant in Wuzhou, and this rich merchant is the Tang family, who owns two-thirds of the wealth in Wuzhou. It stands to reason that such a family can walk sideways in Wuzhou, which means that the personnel of the Tang family are not simple, but King Ning only took a few days to eliminate the Tang family. On the day that King Ning sent people to Tang's house, a fire broke out in Tang's house, and then, the Tang family's gold and silver treasures were gone. If King Ning really did things for the court, then where did all those gold and silver treasures go? Therefore, Weichen suspected that the reason why King Ning tried every means to go to Wuzhou was to get the treasure of the Tang family's rich side, so that he could use money to hit his ambitions! Even the adults said methodically.

King Ning listened to Lord Lian's report with a blank face, and the more he listened, the more he felt that what Lord Lian said was ridiculous.

After hearing this, the emperor was furious, especially when he saw King Ning on the side as if nothing happened, the emperor was even more angry, he slapped the table, and the folds and brushes on the table shook: "King Ning, do you want to explain!" ”

"Back to my father, my son has never done what Lord Lian said. Take the matter of the cult as an example, Erchen never knew that there was a cult in Wuzhou, and if Erchen sent someone to arrest the cult people, how could he let Lord Lian go with him? We didn't have enough people to bring to Wuzhou, so let's bring Lord Lian," King Ning chuckled meaningfully when he said this, and continued, "If we bring Master Lian along with catching the bad guys, wouldn't that be equivalent to giving away all our lives?" Even the adults were able to describe something that had never happened so clearly, as if they had experienced it himself. Hehe, why didn't Erchen know that Lord Lian was so capable, if he had known earlier, Erchen would have recommended Lord Lian to go to the border to garrison, and it didn't take Erchen to be away for so many years, which would have caused his father to miss him. ”

"King Ning's words are a bit far-fetched, right? How can only people who have experienced it be able to describe it, and can't others also explain things clearly by word of mouth? Lord Lian Lin said.

"This king just pointed out the flaws in Lord Lian's words, why did Lord Lin not be able to bear it so quickly? The king still has something to say. Let's ask Lord Lin to listen carefully. King Ning's words were interrupted by Lord Lin, and he was very unhappy.

The emperor listened to King Ning's eloquent description, and his heart was also anxious, and he kept looking at Lord Lin is body. But Lord Lin was suppressed by King Ning again, and King Ning's attitude was very tough, so the emperor had to let King Ning continue: "Okay, King Ning, you continue." ”

"Father, do you think what your son just said is reasonable?" King Ning asked with a sneer.

"What do you mean!" The emperor was completely enraged by King Ning's words.

"Don't be angry, the son is just asking." King Ning shrugged his shoulders and said with a light smile.

Next, Erchen wants to talk about the second thing, that is, about the Tang family. The Tang family in Wuzhou has been rampant and domineering in Wuzhou for many years, but Erchen did not raid the Tang family. In fact, the people of the Tang family will be dissatisfied with Xu Shizi's store in Wuzhou, so they will send someone to loot Xu Shizi's shop. Therefore, Xu Shizi asked his retainers to recover his lost possessions. In addition to recovering the property, Erchen did not take a penny more from the Tang family. If you don't believe it, you can also send a letter to the new officials in Wuzhou now, and ask them to check whether this is the case. King Ning's voice was sonorous and very convincing.

Lord Lin was a little stunned for a while when he heard King Ning's confident words, and he thought to himself: King Ning is so sure, could it be that King Ning really didn't take the Tang family's gold, silver and jewelry, and he couldn't ask for it, the people they sent over to inquire at the beginning watched them transport a cart of things from the Tang family. It seems that King Ning deliberately declared his power.

"Master Huo, I'll leave this matter to you." The emperor said.

"Yes, Weichen must live up to the emperor's trust." Lord Huo knelt to receive the order.

"This third thing, what Erchen wants to say is a rumor about the vicious disease in Wuzhou. If Erchen is not mistaken, it was you who proposed that Erchen go to Wuzhou to deal with the evil disease, not Erchen who asked to go. According to the situation at that time, it should not be Erchen's turn to go to Wuzhou. Besides, if Erchen really has the ability to manipulate evil diseases at will, why don't he cure the Gu poison and diseases on his body? As soon as the emperor finished instructing Lord Huo to do things, King Ning immediately followed.

In the end, what Erchen wanted to say was that Erchen really did not transfer soldiers to Wuzhou without permission. The officials who went to Wuzhou with Erchen in this matter were able to testify for Erchen. Except, of course, for adults who have been bribed by others. "Among the officials who followed King Ning to Wuzhou, most of the remaining ones actually supported the prince's faction, and some were also neutral, as for the officials who were interspersed with King Lang at the beginning, they had already been killed on the way to Wuzhou. Therefore, King Ning was very sure that these people would not specifically target him, except for the situation of others threatening him, of course. Of course, the crown prince hinted to him that the rest of the officials were persuaded by the prince and would definitely defend King Ning. That's why King Ning is so confident.

"Okay, I'll get this matter investigated. However, now that you are suspicious, I will hand you over to the Criminal Department for detention, and after the matter is investigated, if you are really wronged, I will definitely give you an explanation. But if you do, I won't favor you because you're my son. After King Ning said these words, the people of King Lang's faction were speechless to refute, so the emperor came out to save the scene.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this." Prime Minister Yan was dissatisfied with the emperor's decision to detain King Ning, a place like the Criminal Department was so chaotic, and now on the cusp, if King Ning was taken advantage of to do something, there would be no room for recovery, so Prime Minister Yan strongly opposed the detention of King Ning.

"Yes, King Ning is a person who has made a lot of contributions to our court. Wuzhou was indeed at peace under his rule, so we only relied on a few words from others to convict King Ning, and we can't let the heroes of our dynasty be wronged. It's chilling. Therefore, Weichen did not agree with the emperor's approach. General Shen also stood up to speak for King Ning.

"It's really interesting for Prime Minister Yan to talk to General Shen, and now that all this evidence is on the table, how can it be a matter of a few simple words? Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that your decision to imprison King Ning is very wise. Moreover, the emperor just said that when the investigation is clear, the emperor will definitely give King Ning an explanation. If King Ning is really innocent, what are you afraid of? If only King Ning had really done these things. If we don't imprison him now, King Ning will abscond. Who can afford this responsibility! Lord Lin said.
