Chapter 222: The Murder Weapon (2)
Huan Xuan couldn't help but smile faintly in the face of Wang Gong's straightforward questioning, but did not answer.
Wang Fahui hurriedly stopped his brother, it may seem nothing to outsiders, for everyone who knows the inside story, Wang Gong's words are really a little naΓ―ve and ridiculous, but it seems that his side has lost his grace, and he feels a little unable to lose.
She knew that she was acting too carelessly today, and she insisted on going her own way without consulting the opinions of a few important ministers in advance, which would cause such a passive situation today, but at this time, she was already riding a tiger, and it was impossible to retreat from the battle, so she could only maintain her demeanor and said gracefully and magnanimously: "Since all Aiqing have this intention, the mourning family naturally can't brush off your 'goodwill'." She waved her hand and instructed her palace maid: "This will be passed down to the ministers at a glance." β
She deliberately let the palace maids start to pass on from low-level officials, and bet that even if they found something unusual, they wouldn't dare to be the first to speak out, to be the first bird, so many high-ranking officials in the palace are here, when will it be their turn to speak? When everyone is silent, as long as public opinion can be well guided, it is not impossible to get through this matter in a foolish way.
It is not difficult to say that it is difficult to compare fingerprints, but if there is a dispute, it is very difficult to decide. The public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and in the end, there were more people who could only see which side had more opinions, which was quite a bit of a deer as a horse.
Because it is a vague rubbing, that is, others have to say that it is inconsistent, and they bite to death It is consistent, and it is really impossible to fool it, at most, it is that they are wrong, it is not a big deal, but this palace has lost its momentum for a while.
Wang Fahui already had the worst plan in his heart, and he didn't think much about it anymore, but he frequently looked sideways, not understanding why he suddenly changed his mind and turned against himself, is it because of the scandal the day before yesterday, he has to break off the relationship with himself?
is as smart as Wang Fahui, but after all, she is just a woman, and when faced with love, she will be blinded, unable to see the truth of the matter, and unable to understand a man's true heart. Until now, Wang Fahui has not been able to understand what the purpose of Huan Xuan's participation in this matter, whether he is making suggestions for himself, and turning against himself in court. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but linger on him, and her heart was hesitant.
Sima Daozi has been paying attention to the expressions of the people in the court, and at this time, seeing that Wang Fahui is really as rumored to say, he is quite favored by Nanjun Gong, and his heart is very happy, sure enough, Huan Xuan's beautiful man's plan is very effective, even an iceberg beauty like Wang Fahui is involuntarily caught in it, and it is still unknown why it is calculated.
He didn't understand why Wang Ya, who had always opposed him, and Wang Mi, who seemed to be friendly with him, but framed him with Wang Fahui, would help him in turn at this most critical juncture, but now seeing Huan Xuan's indifferent calm appearance, and Wang Fahui deliberately hiding, but still showing a little panicked, he faintly understood in his heart that the reason why the situation in this palace was reversed like this was probably the result of Huan Xuan's behind-the-scenes manipulation.
Although he was full of gratitude, Sima Daozi also felt a sense of horror from the bottom of his heart, since when did Huan Xuan's power become so powerful that Wang Ya, who couldn't even be encircled by himself, obeyed him, which was simply unbelievable.
Not only him, but even Huan Xuan's seemingly indifferent face was faintly surprised, the crown prince and the prince Wang Ya have always been the first emperor to look forward, and now they are also the confidants of the queen mother Wang Fahui, who is obedient to her and has never disobeyed, but now he is actually demolishing the stage in the court and not leaving Wang Fahui a little affection, why is this? What is there that I missed and couldn't find out?
At that time, the struggle environment was far more difficult than in modern times, and now there is something to do, a text message and a WeChat will be solved, but at that time, the letter will be intercepted, and the words will be passed on crookedly, and the news may be leaked, so all the information from the incident to the master's hands, it takes a lot of time, although each family has its own channels to listen to the news, but like the Xie family, there are many years of operation, a complete intelligence network throughout the states and counties of the family is also a minority, although this is Xie An's political needs back then, Now it is also very useful for Xie Yan.
Sure enough, when the light silk reached Wang Ya's hand, he immediately bowed down, and kowtowed repeatedly: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, Weichen seems that these two fingerprints are really not from the same person, and King Huiji has really suffered an injustice." β
Wang Fahui said slightly: "Aiqing said that it was funny, so many ministers have seen it before, why are you the only one who raised objections?" β
Wang Ya didn't dare to speak anymore, but just kowtowed again and again.
When the secretary and supervisor Wang Mi took the so-called evidence of the crime in his hand, he really compared it carefully, and sure enough, the two fingerprints were inconsistent, and he was sure in his heart, and hurriedly echoed Wang Ya and said: "The Empress Dowager Mingjian, according to Weichen's careful identification, the fingerprint on the left is a complete spiral, and the fingerprint on the right is two spins, so it can be seen that it is indeed not from the same person's hand." β
As soon as these words came out, all the people who were silent in the hall just now echoed one after another, some of them clearly saw it clearly but did not dare to squeak, and some of them looked wrong but suspected that they were wrong.
Wang Fahui's face is not good-looking, the current situation is obviously one-sided, except for his brother, it seems that no one supports him anymore.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, she could only change her words: "Maybe I was wrong, since this is the case, let's retreat today." β
She got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Huan Xuan, only to see him say with a smile: "The Queen Mother is slow, since the two fingerprints do not match, it naturally proves that His Royal Highness the King of Huiji is not the murderer of the first emperor, it is better to release him." β
Seeing him so unrelenting, Wang Fahui was so angry, and couldn't help but be angry: "Don't deceive people too much! β
Huan Xuan's face did not fluctuate for a minute, and he still said with a smile: "The Queen Mother, what I said below is also what the ministers think, and now that the truth is revealed, you are still holding on to King Huiji, do you want to privately hand out King Huiji on trumped-up charges?" β
When he said this, he still looked like he was respectful and obedient, but Wang Fahui was forced into a corner by his words.
If you release people, the king of Huiji will inevitably retaliate immediately, and if you don't release people, how will you get over this hurdle in front of you?
People must not let go.
She bit her ruddy lower lip and said resolutely: "Before the matter is clarified, King Huiji can't leave the palace, and the Duke of Nanjun is the assassin of Jiangzhou, so it's better to become a vassal as soon as possible, how can a minister like you participate in this royal matter?" β
