Chapter 108: Loss of honor in front of the palace
As soon as the court was over, officials of all sizes in the court suddenly discussed, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shaken, and even if the prince wanted to keep Zhang Yue this time, it was impossible.
The Praetorian Guards directly sent out by Gu Ji crossed like a black cloud, and in an instant, they swept through the entire Xiaoqing River, blocking the side of the small river where the people poured dirty water.
Seeing this, many people deliberately threw over to watch, and were driven to the periphery by the Praetorian Guards, "Go, go!" The court affairs, idle people, etc. will all be dispersed!! ”
The swift movements of those soldiers lifted the loess on the ground with shovels, and soon a dirty corner of their clothes was revealed, and the person who dug the pit was startled and shouted: "Commander! Over here! His Royal Highness King Cong is really right! ”
At this moment, someone not far away also shouted: "Commander! Another corpse has been found here! ”
In just a few hours, there were almost a dozen corpses of children dug up on the bank of the Xiaoqing River, and Rao is brave and fearless Praetorian Guards were also suppressed by the terrifying sight of this person.
Among the children, there were men and women, all of whom were thin and untidy, and their expressions were very hideous and painful, and they seemed to have no peace when they died.
The cold winter north wind blew, the chill was bone-chilling, the corpse was covered with blue and white and scars, and the face of the Praetorian Guard couldn't help but turn white with fright.
At that time, Gu Congyuan ruthlessly exposed Lord Zhang in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and everyone still didn't want to believe it, after all, Zhang Yue usually smiled and was very kind, not as cold and unsympathetic as Gu Congyuan, compared with the two, some people might believe that His Royal Highness was bloodthirsty and perverted.
But the truth is so bloody in front of you, no matter who wants to deny it, there is no room to turn around.
"Hurry ......up," the Praetorian Guard commander said tremblingly, "bring it back!" Go back and report to Your Majesty! Master Zhang is an out-and-out madman! He's gone mad!? ”
At the same time, Gu Congyuan was entangled outside the palace by a wave of dead soldiers sent by Lord Zhang, and he had long found out that someone was following him all the way, so he released the carrier pigeon without changing his face
"Bang bang bang!"
The door of Zhang's mansion was knocked on the sky, and it was not knocking on the door, but smashing the door with a log when attacking the city and plundering the pool, and vowing not to give up if the door was not smashed.
The middle-aged butler's impatient voice came out, "Who?!" Do you know what this place is!? ”
While scolding and boasting about the noble status of his family, he slowly opened the door, but the scene at the door made people completely stunned.
The black pressure is all the standing army of the Cong Palace, and it has surrounded the Zhang Mansion up and down, and the Buddha can set off at any time, so that the war horses and soldiers can step on this mansion.
When the housekeeper saw this fierce and abnormal scene, he knew that a great calamity was coming, and he was suddenly dizzy, numb, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
He barely put on a flattering smile: "...... What are you going to do, gentlemen, ......?"
The standing army of the Cong Wangfu are all burly men who are eight feet tall, all of them are weak and high-spirited, like sculptures made of cold and ruthless iron, no matter how good things that person says, he will not give a reaction.
"Has His Royal Highness King Cong come down? A few days ago, my lord also hosted a banquet for His Royal Highness...... Today this is ......" The butler continued to set as if he was unwilling.
He was shaking like chaff and gushing
At that time, the standing army like an iron wall suddenly took a step to the sides, and forcibly made a way for the comers, and a woman in a light pink dress came with a smile.
"King Cong didn't come, but I did." Lu Yao's face is full of confidence and publicity.
In contrast, the people of Zhang's mansion everywhere they looked were all disgraced, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Princess." The housekeeper laughed more than crying, and screamed as if he looked.
"Hey." Lu Yao responded with a smile, and was slightly annoyed by Lord Zhang's revenge on Gu Congyuan, and said, "I didn't understand before, why the child cried and begged me that day, and the housekeeper was vague, I have to say that Zhang Yue bought the next person......"
The butler's face was as pale as paper.
Lu Yao stared at the people's eyes and said slowly: "I only understood at this time, the housekeeper and Zhang Yuexin were in collusion, and what kind of disgusting things they were doing, it was really eye-opening." ”
The housekeeper has been with Zhang Yue for so long, and he has done countless things against his will, this time he was really caught, and finally wanted to change his past, so he knelt down for Lu Yao with a plop.
"No wonder the adults have gone to the early dynasty and never returned......," his pale lips trembled, "Miss Lu, princess, these things were all done by Zhang Yue's despicable villain and Qingfeng Zhai himself!" It has nothing to do with villains! ”
Lu Yao saw people with such faces, and the miserable expression of Lu Chuchen when he was dying appeared in front of him, as if he saw an innocent child who had been buried by the loess for a lifetime, and gritted his teeth and said: "You don't pretend to be garlic, you have been with this person for so many years, you must have made a lot of oil and water, there will be gains and losses, you are pretending to cry miserably at the moment, I tell you, it's late!" ”
"Princess......" The housekeeper hurriedly grabbed the woman who was walking towards the mansion, and cried with tears, "Princess, you spare me!" I'm old and young, and I can't do it without my family, princess! ”
As soon as Lu Yao's footsteps were stopped, the thousands of troops behind him did not dare to move easily, and they were all ready to be on standby.
The eyes she looked at the housekeeper were exactly the same as Gu Congyuan's eyes when she looked at Zhang Yue, so cold that she didn't mix half of her feelings, her white hand slowly raised, and then put it down fiercely!
"Search for me!"
Gu Ji sent someone to check Xiaoqinghe upside down, and Gu Congyuan asked Lu Yao to go to Zhang's mansion to collect evidence, and a few hours passed, and soon turned out Zhang Yue's shameless pickling and made it public to the world.
When Gu Ji heard that his subordinates came back to give a report, he was so angry that his beard trembled, and his face turned blue and smashed a porcelain worth a thousand gold.
This matter was more or less embarrassing, so Gu Ji only called the prince and Gu Congyuan, who were in charge of the Qingfeng Village, and still interrogated them in the Yangxin Palace.
The waiter poured a cup of tea for the person, and the aroma was immediately overflowing, "Your Majesty is angry, and use tea to extinguish the fire first." ”
Gu Ji has no intention of drinking tea now, this is obviously the same scene as a few days ago, but a few days ago, Zhang Yue, who had made great contributions, was rewarded by the scenery, and when he met today, it was because of his love for the heavens and reason......
"I praised you for your cleverness some time ago, but I can't believe that your mind is actually used for this." He hated the anger of iron and steel.
Zhang Yue's kneeling movements became more religious, he tried to justify, but the clever tongue on weekdays turned into nothing, perhaps because he had done too much bad things, so when facing the Ninety-Five Supreme, he couldn't say a word.
Gu Ji saw that people's faces were like vegetables,
was even more furious, "Zhang Yue, I really misjudged you!" You...... What do you like, but you have to ......."
Speaking of this, he seemed to be unable to say any more, choked for a while, immediately picked up the hot teacup, and slammed it on.
Zhang Yue didn't dodge or dodge such a blow, the small tea cup immediately fell apart, and blood slowly flowed from his forehead.
"Your Majesty, the minister is wrong,......" Zhang Yue said with tears streaming down his face.
The fat man kneeling in the hall was all lost, but the prince on the side was also frightened, for fear that Zhang Yue would lose his honor in front of the palace and shake out the matter of relying on Qingfeng Village to make money.
Gu Ji simply slapped the case and roared like a bell: "What's the use of you being wrong now!?" Zhang Yue, you have lost in your own stupidity and insidiousness! Do you know what you're doing!? ”
Long Yan was furious, like rolling muffled thunder, Zhang Yue's five thunders were completely shattered, and he cried: "Your Majesty, I am ...... I was misled once by someone else and went astray, and it has nothing to do with me......"
"Dare to quibble!" Gu Ji saw that he was unrepentant, and he was simply angry, "You killed innocents indiscriminately, how many children's lives have you killed, and you dare to say that it is the responsibility of others, come here, drag it out first and beat fifty boards!" ”
Lord Zhang's expression froze for a moment, and he hurriedly begged for mercy, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty spares your life, where can you bear it with fifty boards, you are going to be the life of the official! ”
He was so old that he was crying and shouting and crying, and he didn't care about his face, and he was dragged down and screamed hoarsely outside the hall.
Gu Ji closed his eyes tightly and said in a low voice: "Yan'er, you said, is it that I am so old that I can't even distinguish between people, and I actually put such a person in the court......
Gu Congyuan watched coldly, and the look of contempt and ridicule was written on his face.
Gu Ziyan reassured again and again: "My father's Spring and Autumn Period is prosperous, his eyes are like torches, Zhang Yue is full of treachery, he is just doing something that hurts heaven and reason, and people and gods are angry, and it has nothing to do with my father, you ...... Don't blame yourself. ”
Gu Ji ascended the throne and became the emperor at a young age, and he was an iron-blooded man, fighting in the south and the north, until he was middle-aged, he gradually softened his heart, and there were heavy iron armor guards on the border, no one dared to commit it, I thought that this would keep the peace and prosperity, but who knew that the moth was not a foreign enemy, but gradually rotted from the inside.
In just half a day, he seemed to be ten years old, and the wrinkles on his face had deepened, showing a bit of old age.
After Zhang Yue was beaten fifty boards, he was dragged up by the guards, with faint blood stains on his body, he was about to be beaten to vomit blood, and his fat body hung on his body as if he was loose, and he muttered: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"
"What is the ghost called by Lord Zhang?" Gu Cong looked at the man condescendingly, and sneered, "The collusion between the imperial court officials and Qingfeng Village is really a great sin, and you can't get back the lives of those children even if you have ten lives." ”
The pain on Zhang Yue's body seemed to be overloaded, and when he reached the peak, he began to become delirious, his saliva dragged out, and said, "Your Majesty ......"
What is in front of Gu Ji's case is all evidence that Zhang Yue colluded with Qingfeng Village to buy girls and boys, which makes people shudder when they look at it.
Zhang Yue trembled and stood up and said, "But Your Majesty...... This matter is not only involved in the lower officials, but also, His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
