Chapter 44: The Shocking Conspiracy
Because she wanted to make the murderer appear faster, Yan Yue's work efficiency was incomparable. In one morning, Yan Yue developed the hallucinogen. In order to ensure its efficacy, Yan Yue also found the servants in the imperial pharmacy to conduct an experiment. The effect of the experiment is very good, and it can basically achieve the result of whoever the experimenter thinks in his heart, and he will imagine the person in front of him as whom.
After Master Hua finished his work, he heard that Yan Yue was busy in the imperial pharmacy, so he also rushed over to join in the fun. As for the plague, he also briefly talked about it with Yan Yue. A little eunuch in the miscellaneous room was bitten by a rat while sleeping at night, so he contracted the plague. The two little fathers-in-law in the same room were also infected. Fortunately, the three little eunuchs usually only stay in the miscellaneous room and rarely have contact with people. After the onset of the disease, the miscellaneous house was burned to the ground, so there should be no problem with the plague for the time being.
And for the potion that Yan Yue studied, Master Hua was amazed again. It's just that when he heard that this potion was used to interrogate prisoners, the expression on Master Hua's face became even more vivid, probably because he wanted to criticize Yan Yue for using Xiao Cleverness in the wrong place. Yan Yue didn't want to explain more, so she took the potion and rushed towards the Qingxin Palace.
Today's Murong Yan doesn't know why, he didn't even go to the early dynasty. Yan Yue always felt that Murong Yan's handling of court affairs was a bit like his study in his junior year of high school. When it comes to exams, they will surprise overnight and fight continuously. Then, as soon as the exam is over, I will completely relax and put my studies aside.
Yan Yue kept her excitement and rushed straight to the inner hall, but Murong Yan's words lowered Yan Yue's enthusiasm to freezing point. It turned out that Murong Yan wanted to use this medicine on an unimaginable person, and that person was Yan Wenzhong, Yan Yue's father in this life! Yan Yue's horror can be imagined, this medicine was originally intended by Yan Yue to try that Ma Gonggong, how could it be used to judge his father? Even if my father has thousands of bad things, I can't push my father to death. Because the reason why Murong Yan didn't kill Yan Wenzhong was to dig something from Yan Wenzhong, if Yan Wenzhong recruited everything, would Murong Yan still keep his life?
"No, the slave resolutely disagrees!" Yan Yue replied resolutely. Murong Yan had already guessed Yan Yue's answer, but he just asked with a smile: "What if your father was wronged?" ”
Yan Yue never thought of this problem, it seems that from the first day she crossed over, she decided that her father collaborated with the enemy and treason, and the impression that her father left on Yan Yue was very bad, so Yan Yue never thought about that father. Especially when she heard Li Yunniang talk about what happened to her father when she was young, Yan Yue even thought that her father was a person who liked the new and hated the old, and even moved the idea of taking her mother away from her father, so Murong Yan's words really frightened Yan Yue at this time.
In Yan Yue's surprise and surprise, Murong Yan never told Yan Wenzhong's case of collaboration with the enemy and treason in detail. One of the evidences of Yan Wenzhong's collaboration with the enemy and treason is that someone denounced it. According to him, a person claimed to be Yan Wenzhong's subordinate, holding ten catties of gold, and found him for divination. Ask General Yan Wenzhong to lead the army to fight, five battles and five victories, want to change the dynasty, do a great cause, want to see how lucky? After receiving the gold, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he took the gold to Dali Temple. Dali Temple knew that the matter was important, and together with the Criminal Department, the case was reported to the Heavenly Court.
The second piece of evidence in Yan Wenzhong's case is a report from a subordinate. One of these two is Zhang Yun and the other is Li Yang. The two can be said to be Yan Wenzhong's right-hand men, Yan Wenzhong's confidants, and the official worships the left middle general and the right middle general. The two of them took the report of Yan Wenzhong to the criminal department to surrender, but they were intercepted and killed on the way. According to the statement left by the two of them, Yan Wenzhong wanted to give his tiger talisman waist card to the neighboring prince Ling Yuechen, and asked him to use the waist card to mobilize the border army to deal with the Darong Dynasty.
Murong Yan was very angry when he learned of this, and immediately led the guards to copy the Yan Mansion, but unfortunately Yan Wenzhong would rather die than recruit under the heavy punishment, Murong Yan turned the General's Mansion upside down and did not find evidence of Yan Wenzhong's collaboration with the enemy and treason, let alone how many ministers in the court were his accomplices. In order to put a long line to catch a big fish, Murong Yan put him under house arrest in the General's Mansion, but strict monitoring was set up at the General's Mansion, as long as there was any suspicion in the General's Mansion, he would not let go.
It's just that these two months have passed, and Murong Yan hasn't found any evidence at all. What's even more terrifying is that now Murong Yan's forces in the DPRK are isolated. Child. The party has a tendency to cause chaos, and there are even more traces of wanting to contact the Queen Mother's party. After Mrs. Rong Shengren took office, he questioned Yan Wenzhong's case, which made Murong Yan have the idea of retrying the case.
After saying this, Yan Yue completely understood that in her father's case, there was actually no definite evidence at all, the diviner could have been bribed by someone else to frame his father, although the subordinate went to denounce it with a waist card, but now he has no proof of death, maybe it is also a conspiracy. In addition, since Murong Yan suspected this matter, it proved that he must have discovered other suspicions. In this way, it is a good thing to try my father this time, and maybe I can avenge my father.
"Okay, the slave and maid agreed to the emperor's request, but the slave and maid also have a request, no matter what the result of the interrogation is, please don't embarrass the slave's father!" Yan Yue still put the request in front. It wasn't until Murong Yan nodded that he smiled.
In fact, although Yan Yue is still very respectful to Murong Yan in action and language, she doesn't feel that he is terrible at all in her heart. Not to mention that he didn't abandon himself and flee when he was in danger of an assassin last time, and the last time he threatened Yan Yue with starving Li Yunniang for two days, Yan Yue later learned that everything was he scaring himself. Murong Yan didn't order anyone to take Li Yunniang into the palace at all, let alone starve people for two days.
Yan Yue discussed with Murong Yan again the skills and countermeasures for questioning, and then left the palace and went to the General's Mansion. Along the way, the carriage was mighty, and the guards followed by a long procession. Among them, there is another person that Yan Yue didn't expect--- Rong Shengren. I remember that after the last time I saw him kill dozens of people for the crime of rebellion, Yan Yue had always had a bad impression of this person, but today I thought that he found the suspicion of his father's case, and Yan Yue's impression of him couldn't help but change greatly.
The general's mansion was cold and gloomy. After entering the mansion, everyone went straight to Yan Wenzhong's room. There are few slaves in the house, even the slaves who pass by by chance show the timidity of a frightened bird when they see Yan Yue, and after walking a long way, Yan Yue remembered an idiom story - fox fake tiger might. Those who are emotional are afraid of Murong Yan behind them, not Yan Yue, who has always been weak and kind in the mansion.
"Father is old! Father is dying! This was Yan Yue's first thought after seeing Yan Wenzhong.
In just a few months, disasters, illnesses, and severe punishments have tortured the original vigorous general into a dying old man. The lifeless eyes on his earthy gray face, his trembling discolored lips, and his skinny arms when he raised his hands, all made Yan Yue have a delusion, was the old man lying on this hospital bed his father? With years of medical experience, Yan Yue is basically sure that if she continues like this, her father's life will not be long.
Murong Yan was also surprised for a moment when he first saw Yan Wenzhong, but he quickly withdrew everyone and went straight to the subject of the interrogation. Only four people were left in the room, Yan Wenzhong, Yan Yue, Murong Yan and Rong Shengren.
It didn't take long for the potion to take effect, and when Yan Yue asked softly, "Who am I", Yan Wenzhong cried so loudly that he almost stopped crying. And Yan Wenzhong's next words were not only shocking and incredible to Yan Yue, but also like a bolt from the blue to Murong Yan. In Yan Wenzhong's narration, an astonishing secret emerges.
What Yan Wenzhong said was the death of the two most proud genera. When Yan Wenzhong learned that someone accused him of collaborating with the enemy and treason for divination, his first thought was to confront him in court, and even asked the fortune teller to come and identify him. But what Yan Wenzhong didn't expect was that he didn't wait for him to leave the house, but there were two groups of people in the house, one was the current Prime Minister Helian Jingyu, that is, the father of the current queen's mother; The second is the nephew of the Queen Mother, who is the deputy minister of the court, Gu Tianlei. The two entered the mansion for only one purpose, that is, to ask Yan Wenzhong to hand over the tiger talisman. What's even more terrifying is that these two people can't hold each other, and they all compete to ask Yan Wenzhong to hand over the tiger talisman into their hands.
Of course, Yan Wenzhong knew that this tiger talisman was very important, and the tiger talisman was a symbol of status, and holding this tiger talisman could mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under Yan Wenzhong's command. And these two people have a special status in the court, and if they have different intentions after getting the tiger talisman, they will be the biggest threat to the court. So Yan Wenzhong lied that he went to the study to get the tiger talisman, and on the other hand, he ordered his henchmen Zhang Yun and Li Yang to take the tiger talisman and hand it over to the heavenly court.
It's just that Yan Wenzhong didn't expect that the prime minister and the deputy prime minister were both old foxes in the officialdom. Zhang Yun and Li Yang were intercepted and killed as soon as they left the house, and the two tried their best but unfortunately died. It's just that the magnitude of this assassination scene almost alarmed almost all the citizens in Darong City, so those two people didn't dare to take the tiger talisman in public. But the final result of this matter was that the two teamed up to frame Yan Wenzhong, directly handed over Zhang Yun and Li Yang to the imperial court Hufu as the master of the report, and even stuffed a fake paper into Zhang Yun's arms.
At the time of the first trial, before Yan Wenzhong could speak, he had been beaten to the ground. And in the next few interrogations, the person in charge of the trial was either the prime minister or the deputy prime minister, even if Yan Wenzhong was killed, he would not admit that he collaborated with the enemy and treason, and finally looked forward to the emperor's personal trial, but those people asked Yan Wenzhong to take a medicine in advance, and he would faint in the hall before he spoke, so Murong Yan was interrogated twice, but he didn't hear anything.
……………………
There would be such a conspiracy to frame her, Yan Yue only heard that her hands and feet were cold, and her whole body trembled involuntarily. The prime minister and deputy prime minister should have been the most trusted people of Emperor Murong Yan, why did they put on the idea of a tiger talisman? If it weren't for Rong Shengren's reminder, if it weren't for the fact that he happened to have an illusion-making potion, I believe that Murong Yan would never have heard this story, then wouldn't Yan Wenzhong bring the grievances to the Netherworld?
Looking at Rong Shengren again, from the beginning to the present, he has maintained an expression on his face that he had long expected. And Murong Yan's expression is ever-changing, in this short period of time, the original black has become white, and the white has become black, if it is possible to believe Murong Yan, he doesn't want what Yan Wenzhong said to be the truth, because then Murong Yan has too many enemies! It's too strong!
And there is only one reason for all this, the master in their minds has appeared!
