Su Jiudong's heart was very entangled, but Gao Yanagiichi's patience was gradually fading.

"Huh!"

Just as Su Jiudong was immersed in the struggle with his own thoughts, Gao Liuyi, who had lost patience, directly shook the snakeskin whip and slapped Liu Yunniang fiercely!

Su Jiudong scolded Gao Liuyi loudly: "What are you doing here?" I haven't given an answer yet, how can you do it?! ”

"I said it a long time ago, I don't have that much time to spend with you. The later you answer, the more whip marks will increase on your aunt's body. If you don't want to watch your aunt being pumped into blood, you should make a decision as soon as possible. ”

After speaking, Gao Yanagi slapped Liu Yunniang's leg again.

"Stop! If you dare to fight again, I won't be able to spare you when I'm rescued! Su Jiudong's eyes were red, staring straight at Gao Liuyi, and his eyes could spew out real fire.

"Instead of wasting time arguing with me, you should spend more time figuring out how to choose."

Gao Liu slapped Liu Yunniang viciously, but this time it was hit according to Liu Yunniang's face, and Liu Yunniang, who was originally in a deep coma, was immediately woken up by this side, grinning and screaming, with a bloody mark on her face.

"Ahh … It hurts......" Liu Yunniang was suddenly awakened, and her facial muscles and body involuntarily trembled and throbbed.

"Auntie!" Su Jiudong violently tried to break free from the chains, but in vain. She is not an immortal, she doesn't know spells, she can't use her magic power to untie herself and save Liu Yunniang, she can only watch Liu Yunniang suffer.

"Miss Su, how is it? Have you figured it out? Which of the two paths do you choose? Gao Yanagi was obviously asking Su Jiudong questions, but facing Liu Yunniang, the whip in his hand did not stop, and he smoked Liu Yunniang's body one after another.

Liu Yunniang raised her head tremblingly, even if her face was covered with blood, she had to try to dissuade Su Jiudong: "Jiudong'er, don't listen to him!" He tricked us here to hurt Ah Heng! You can't think of hurting Ah Heng and helping him to abuse! ”

Su Jiudong was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and the dilemma made Su Jiudong fall into a difficult situation.

On the other side, Yun Mulin took the safety of Su Jiudong and Liu Yunniang to threaten Wen Yiheng's actions.

Yun Mulin sat calmly on the circle chair, while carefully counting the number of five-clawed golden dragons on his outer robe, he lightly said an ultimatum:

"Wen Yiheng, I advise you for the last time, your choice determines the fate of Su Jiudong and Liu Yunniang. So you have to weigh it when you make a decision. ”

"Su Jiudong and I have only met once or twice during the tea fight, and Liu Yunniang doesn't know each other at all. What do you do with those who don't matter? It's just a lie. Wen Yiheng continued to lie calmly, but his heart was nervous.

At present, Wen Yiheng can only vigorously deny the relationship between him and Su Jiudong and Liu Yunniang in order to save the lives of the two of them.

The more worried he is, the more arrogant Yun Mulin will be, approaching his steps to threaten.

"You said you didn't know Su Jiudong and Liu Yunniang, so I won't ......" Yun Mulin was about to speak, when a jailer next to him came and whispered a few words in his ear. Yun Mulin was very angry when he heard this, and viciously threw the whistleblower letter to the ground.

Fan Jinshan, who was on the side, hurriedly picked up the whistleblower letter and asked cautiously: "Wen Xiang, you have to think clearly, this is your last chance to choose, if you choose the wrong one, you will die two innocent lives." ”

Wen Yiheng clenched his fists and tried to calm his tone: "I am indeed a stranger who has only met Su Jiudong twice, and I don't know Liu Yunniang. It is in vain that you threaten me with the lives of these two men. ”

Fan Jinshan helplessly stretched out his hands to Yun Mulin and shook his head.

Knowing that Su Jiudong's reply was also a refusal to come forward to give perjury and refuse to persuade Wen Yiheng to admit the rebellion, Yun Mulin was very angry, kicked over the circle chair, and left with Fan Jinshan in a scolding manner.

Fan Jinshan persuaded Yun Mulin to dissipate his anger while walking; "Although we can't win Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng at the moment and don't agree to sign and detain, we might as well convene officials to jointly sign the back of the whistleblower letter, and then present it to the saint as physical evidence, and ask the saint to make the final decision."

Yun Mulin was forced by Wen Yiheng and Su Jiudong to be unable to do so, so he immediately sent someone to send a letter to the officials in the party, gathered in the attic room before going to the court tomorrow, signed a joint impeachment, and finally reported Wen Yiheng's intention to rebel to Emperor Tianduo.

In the early dynasties, Emperor Tianduo sat on the dragon chair and the ministers were lined up.

Yun Mulin presented the secret letter to Emperor Tianduo, and after Emperor Tianduo received this letter signed by many officials, he did not choose to question it in court, but silently pressed the letter on the dragon case. After the end of the early dynasty, Emperor Tianduo summoned Yun Mulin and Tang Zhongye. Clouds

In the side hall, there were only three people, Emperor Tianduo, Yun Mulin and Tang Zhongye. Emperor Tianduo pondered and didn't say a word, and Yun Mulin and Tang Zhongye didn't dare to say anything.

Emperor Tianduo carefully read the whistleblower letter again, and his heart had a different opinion than when he first read it on the main hall.

"Mu Lin, you and Zhong Ye are waiting here first, Defeng, you come with me." Emperor Tianduo pointed to Liu Defeng, the great eunuch who was serving beside him, and turned from the back door of the side hall to the small garden behind the side hall.

"Today, Mulin presented me with a letter of informant from Zichu's intention to rebel." Emperor Tianduo stared at Liu Defeng and asked in a low voice, "Based on the first time you heard this news, do you believe it or not?" ”

Liu Defeng didn't dare to take a stubble. Liu Defeng knew that Emperor Tianduo's question was not asking him, but asking Emperor Tianduo himself.

Sure enough, without waiting for Liu Defeng to answer, Emperor Tianduo replied himself: "Zichu has been an official for six years, and he is sincere and diligent. Although I occasionally make things that displease me, I also know that he is for the court, so I don't believe this whistleblower letter. ”

"At present, Zichu is only imprisoned for corruption and bribery. However, it is too much of a coincidence that the matter of corruption and bribery has not yet been confirmed, and that there has been an attempt to rebel on behalf of others. ”

Liu Defeng tentatively agreed: "Yes, the collision of two serious crimes is indeed suspicious." ”

Liu Defeng's stubble has no nutrition, but he just echoes it, so Emperor Tianduo continues to analyze it himself:

"If it is punished according to corruption and bribery, it is only to lock up Zichu for more than 20 years, and then copy the silver from his treasury to replenish the treasury. But if it is to be dealt with as a conspiracy, this will be a big deal. ”

"Wen Yiheng has been operating in the DPRK and China for many years, and there are only a lot of interests related to him. If the crime of treason is confirmed, I am afraid that the number of officials implicated will not be in the single digits, and maybe even the foundation of our Dayin Dynasty will be shaken because of this. ”

Liu Defeng noticed that Emperor Tianduo no longer called Wen Yiheng, but called him by his name instead, so he sensitively changed his tone and continued:

"Wen Xiang has been operating in the DPRK and China for many years, and he will definitely have a wide network of contacts in private, and he will check each other with many officials. Even dared to openly contend with the crown prince, if it was said that there were no many officials and forces behind him to support each other, it would be impossible. ”

Emperor Tianduo nodded: "Over the years, Yiheng and the crown prince have restrained each other, which is exactly what I wanted. We always uphold justice and do not take sides, so that the scales are always balanced and will not be tilted in any way. ”

At this time, Liu Defeng smiled mockingly behind Emperor Tianduo, and silently slandered Emperor Tianduo in his heart: "You still say that you are not partial, obviously you are partial to the prince and have arrived home!" If it weren't for Wen Yiheng bothering to check and balance, I'm afraid that your son would have been snatched away by the prince a long time ago. ”

Emperor Tianduo didn't see the state of Liu Defeng, who was behind him, and still said to himself: "If Wen Yiheng dies and the situation of the court is evenly matched, and the crown prince is alone in the future, won't it threaten me myself?" ”

The royal family has no father-son affection, and those who want to achieve great things can also be killed.

At that time, Emperor Tianduo was only a prince, and he was never made a prince, and finally led his troops to force the palace and killed the first emperor to get the throne.

Emperor Tianduo's train of thought changed direction in an instant, and he asked nonsensically: "Defeng, you said that if I really disposed of Wen Yiheng, will the crown prince force me to usurp power in the future?" ”

Liu Defeng secretly sighed at the emperor's moodiness, and was thinking about how to reply to Emperor Tianduo, and Emperor Tianduo changed the topic by himself:

"First someone reported that Wen Yiheng used power for personal gain, embezzlement and bribery, and then there was a whistleblower letter reporting Wen Yiheng's rebellion, could it be that Xia Miao before, Wen Yiheng made the prince suffer a loss and made a fool, and the prince couldn't be angry, so he deliberately framed Wen Yiheng?"

Emperor Tianduo excitedly grabbed Liu Defeng's shoulder: "The more I think about it, the more strange I feel, why did I find Wu Runhao from the CCB Palace, and why did I break out at this time with the intention of rebellion... The prince specially summoned officials to sign a joint signature, which shows that his party is too big..."

Liu Defeng is not sure of Emperor Tianduo's inclination, and can only judge from the current attitude of Emperor Tianduo mentioning Wen Yiheng and Prince Yun Mulin:

"If the Holy One really thinks so, it is better to turn the big things into small things and the small things into small things. The saint doesn't want to see a situation where the prince's faction monopolizes power, so he might as well find out the truth. Then release Wen Xiang, and then appease Wen Mansion and the members of Wen Xiang's faction. ”

"What you think is what I think." Emperor Tianduo closed his fist in his palm, turned back to the side hall, and announced his verdict.

Because Wen Yiheng's corruption and bribery and his intention to rebel were still suspicious, Emperor Tianduo sent someone to conduct a careful review. The punishment of Wen Yiheng was only to remove Wen Yiheng from inheriting the title of Duke Zhu Guo in the future, and continue to keep him as the prime minister.

Yun Mulin was not convinced by this verdict, and protested: "Father, Wen Yiheng is involved in two big cases, how can he be easily released?" Or even let him stay in the post of prime minister? Wouldn't this make the people misunderstand the image of their father as fair and strict? ”

"Bold!" Emperor Tianduo slapped the throne and angrily scolded: "You mean, my judgment is the practice of the faint monarch? Yun Mulin, are you tired of sitting in the position of the crown prince, and want to be in my position to make your so-called fair judgment?! ”
