Emperor Liang Qin played, Xu Chenhao just spoke, and what he wanted to say was really about Jubao Zhai.

Emperor Liang Qin has always been disgusted with private gambling houses using charlatans to defraud the people's money, and when he heard this, he was immediately furious: "How can this be reasonable, a mere gambling house dares to ignore the law so much, Xu Aiqing can order a heavy punishment?" ”

Xu Chenhao shook his head: "Not yet, as far as the minister knows, there is another secret behind this matter." ”

Emperor Liang Qin was surprised: "Oh? If there is anything hidden, let's hear it. ”

Hearing this, Xu Chenhao couldn't help but glance at Zhao Cangxun over there, and between his eyes, Zhao Cangxun, who was already full of fear, instantly stood up with his hair, as if he was already convinced of something.

After a while, Xu Chenhao spoke: "The minister's subordinates ordered Lu Xuan to interrogate yesterday, and learned from the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai that this deception was forced by the children of the official family with power. “

"Children of official families?" Emperor Liang Qin was surprised, and Zhao Cangxun, who was already worried in the hall, was even more panicked, and the clues clearly pointed to his precious son Zhao Jinglun.

Xu Chenhao nodded when he heard this, and continued: "In order to make Jubao Zhai obedient, this person even bullied men and women, and threatened the lives of Jubao Zhai's wives and children. ”

Emperor Liang Qin was suddenly furious when he heard this: "There is such a thing? ”

Looking at Zhao Cangxun's expression in this matter, presumably his precious son has not explained these ugly things to him.

Emperor Liang Qin finally couldn't help but ask: "Can Xu Aiqing find out the identity of the person behind this scene?" ”

Zhao Cangxun didn't dare to relax with a sigh of relief, but Xu Chenhao nodded resolutely: "Back to Your Majesty, fortunately, I am not dishonored, the minister's envoy has already found out everything from beginning to end, and this person is the son of Lord Zhao, the squire of the military department!" ”

Hearing Xu Chenhao mention himself, Zhao Cangxun was suddenly shocked, and then raised his eyes to see that on the Jinluan Palace, the pair of Ling Eyes from the Ninety-Five Venerable had already fallen viciously on him.

Hearing this, Gu Ningbei, who had nothing to do with himself, frowned instantly, and then turned around and looked at Zhao Cangxun in surprise.

But at this moment, where does Zhao Cangxun have time to take care of others? He instantly stepped forward to exonerate his precious son: "Back to Your Majesty, the dog has been wronged!" ”

After that, he turned his head to look at Xu Chenhao again: "Xu Shangshu must not frame an official like this." ”

Xu Chenhao laughed contemptuously when he heard this: "Planting? Isn't it clear whether the official framed Zhao Shilang? ”

Emperor Liang Qin knew that as the king of a country, he could not listen to and believe partially, and seeing that the two of them were important ministers in the court, it would inevitably make jokes and cause criticism if he framed either of them, so he spoke: "Xu Aiqing, if this matter is true, show evidence to speak." ”

As soon as he heard that there was going to be evidence, and then remembered what Zhao Jinglun said yesterday, there was no basis for his empty words, and Zhao Cangxun instantly breathed a sigh of relief: I want to see how your red mouth and white teeth can make Your Majesty believe you.

Zhao Cangxun was proud, but he didn't think about it, but Xu Chenhao took out a jade pendant from his arms: "Lord Zhao can recognize this thing?" ”

Seeing this, Emperor Liang Qin couldn't help but sit up straight, as if he had sensed something.

Zhao Cangxun said with a disapproving look: "There is also a piece of this thing in the official's house, which was given by His Majesty for the deployment and extermination of the enemy army back then, and it is worn on the waist of the dog all the year round. ”

"Really? But this thing was taken out of the secret compartment of the shopkeeper's room by Lu Jieling, what explanation did Lord Zhao make? Xu Chenhao questioned in front of the Manchu civil and military forces.

Although Zhao Cangxun was flustered, he still pretended to be calm and retorted: "So what, there are many similar things in the world, is it possible for Lord Xu to find an identical piece and blame me?" ”

After saying this, there is no need for Xu Chenhao to say more, the original owner of the jade pendant, Emperor Liang Qin, can no longer sit still: "This jade pendant is a tribute from the Western Regions, and there is only one in the world, doesn't Zhao Aiqing know?" ”

Zhao Cangxun was instantly stunned when he heard this, he really didn't know about it.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Cangxun immediately knelt down towards Emperor Liang Qin: "Your Majesty's forgiveness, it is the minister's godson who has no way to make him lose this precious thing, and the minister will definitely punish him severely in the future." ”

At this time, he can still make up such nonsense, Xu Chenhao is simply speechless: "Lord Zhao kept saying that the jade pendant was lost, so why did it happen to appear in the shopkeeper's room of Jubaozhai?" ”

After questioning Zhao Cangxun, Xu Chenhao stepped forward again: "Back to Your Majesty, the Criminal Department has interrogated everyone in Jubaozhai, including those few Jianghu warlocks, and all of them pointed to the son of Lord Zhao. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Cangxun couldn't help but laugh contemptuously: "Everyone knows the methods of the Criminal Department, who knows if you deliberately blamed me and forced the people of Jubaozhai to make false testimony?" ”

These words really blinded Xu Chenhao: "Why did this official frame you? ”

If you talk about the motive for framing, it should be that Zhao Cangxun is jealous of Xu Chenhao for seizing the post of secretary of his military department, what does Xu Chenhao want, why bother with him?

Zhao Cangxun insisted: "The reason for this must be clear only to Lord Xu himself." ”

The two instantly fell into a war of words, and they were at a stalemate.

When the two sides argued, Zhao Cangxun even blamed Lu Xuan for the matter: "Who knows if Lu Xuan stole the jade pendant and framed it on me?" She is used to doing things that are unseemly, doesn't Lord Xu know? ”

After speaking, a man's impatient voice suddenly came from behind the curtain on the Jinluan Palace, and it sounded as if someone had been disturbed by someone in a clear dream: "I'm annoyed." ”

In just three words, the entire Jinluan Hall was suddenly silent, and Gu Huanli spoke: "There are your Zhao family's subordinates in the one sent to hunt down the Pingchuan County Lord that day, Zhao Shilang." ”

"Lord Pingchuan?" Emperor Liang Qin was surprised, the matter in the court has not been resolved, how can Shen Xixu be involved?

Gu Huanli sat up straight and looked at Zhao Cangxun: "The county lord of Pingchuan strayed into Jubaozhai, and accidentally bumped into Lu Xuan who debunked the deception of the rivers and lakes, and the two were chased and killed, intending to kill them, fortunately they met this king, and after the fight, this king picked up the token of your Shilang's mansion at the scene, dare to ask Lord Zhao, how could the subordinates of your mansion mix with the people of the gambling house?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Cangxun was immediately speechless, and Emperor Liang Qin was even more annoyed.

Shen Xixu is the only daughter of the eldest princess, not to mention whether it is true that Jubaozhai defrauded the people's wealth, just because the Zhao family dares to hurt the county lord of Pingchuan, if this matter reaches the ears of the eldest princess, it will be enough for hundreds of people in the Zhao family to eat and walk.

Emperor Liang Qin was suddenly furious: "Zhao Cangxun, what else do you have to say!" ”

Zhao Cangxun hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty spares your life, it is the minister who has no way to teach his son, and the minister is willing to be punished, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive the dog." ”

Originally, Gu Ningbei wanted to excuse Zhao Cangxun for a few words, but he didn't expect that this coward would be bluffed by Gu Huanli with a few words, it was really a waste of the East Palace's cultivation of him over the years.

At this point, Gu Ningbei could only give up this useless chess piece and stand aside and look at him coldly.

Emperor Liang Qin originally didn't plan to impose a heavy penalty, but just wanted to use the Zhao family's money to give an explanation to the deceived people.

But Gu Huanli just involved Shen Xixu, so if Zhao Jinglun is not severely punished, I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to pass the level of the eldest princess.

Only then did Emperor Liang Qin order the seizure of the military department's mansion, confiscate all his family property, remove Zhao Cangxun's post as the soldier's department, and put his son Zhao Jinglun in the prison, waiting for the eldest princess's mansion to fall.

Zhao Cangxun is more than half a hundred years old, and he has long been downbeat about his career, but his Zhao family is a single lineage, if the eldest princess really wants Zhao Jinglun's life under the anger, it will be difficult for him to face the ancestors of the Zhao family under Jiuquan.

Thinking of this, Zhao Cangxun begged for mercy from Emperor Liang Qin with all his might.

Emperor Liang Qin's face did not change: "I have made up my mind, if there is anything to be left in front of the eldest princess, let's talk about it, scatter the dynasty!" ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Zhao Cangxun struggled to beg for mercy on the Jinluan Palace, but was resolutely dragged away by the guards with knives.

In the blink of an eye, another senior member of the military department fell from his horse.

And at this moment, the most worried and angry person is probably Gu Ningbei.

A few days ago, the secretary of the military department was just impeached and dismissed, and he was temporarily replaced by the secretary of the criminal department, Gu Ningbei was already greatly injured, but now it is good, and the squire who originally wanted to be promoted also ended up like this.

And the two of them were folded in Gu Huanli's hands, which really made Gu Ning sad.

But with his current strength, he can't compete head-on with Gu Huanli at all, all he can do is to regain his strength and strive to make the East Palace faction rise again as soon as possible.

But right now, in addition to Gu Ningbei, there is another person who also has a headache because of the incident of this morning, that is, his niece Shen Xixu, who was dragged out by Gu Huanli as a shield.

It was rare to escape Lu Xuan's intercession that day, and failed to stab Shen Xixu's disguise as a man and the matter of mixing in the gambling house to the eldest princess.

For a while, Shen Xixu simply hated his cold imperial uncle.

"What should I do, my mother will definitely punish me again when she returns home." Shen Xixu paced back and forth on the ground, flustered in his heart, praying and cursing those who were untrustworthy and openly betrayed him.

But what should come is always coming, and where can you hide from it?

After a while, I only heard a woman's stern voice from outside the door: "Ah Xu! ”

Although this voice is not as deep and rich as Gu Huanli's, it can also be called domineering and aggressive.

This is Shen Xixu's mother, Gu Huanli's sister who has always been respected, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

As soon as he heard this familiar tone, Shen Xixu knelt down in the direction of the eldest princess without saying a word, and before the eldest princess could scold, he said: "Mother, my son knows that I am wrong." ”

Shen Xixu has been unable to take this point since she was a child, and the speed of admitting her mistakes is always much faster than scolding.

Seeing this, the eldest princess's anger instantly subsided, and she shook her head helplessly: "You, you, where do you have the demeanor of a royal woman, you know how to play all day long." ”

Seeing that the eldest princess lost the anger when she entered the door, Shen Xixu casually hugged her thigh: "Oh, mother, isn't the son still young, and it's normal for people to be greedy for fun!" ”

"Young? If you still know that you are still young, why do you dare to disguise yourself as a man and go to a place like a gambling house without permission? The eldest princess asked.
