Seeing that the emperor was still questioning at this time, many people were excited.

They felt that the emperor was mostly selfish because of Li Chun. But such a good opportunity, how can you let it go?

Several people couldn't help but roar and began to fan the flames, even if they pushed, they vowed to push the emperor to the position where they had to dispose of it.

As a result, one by one began to come out, indicating that the evidence in this case is complete, the plaintiff and the defendant are clear, and the crime is clear, and it is completely possible to find out in one go.

"Don't miss the opportunity, everything has a time, now is the best time, Mingjian, Emperor." A minister knelt down.

"That's true. King An's disappeared silver two emperors to track down for many days to no avail, for this reason Concubine Zhao Niangniang was still ill for a long time, unfortunately passed away, His Royal Highness King An was far away in the sky but was wronged, it is really worrying. Another servant knelt down.

"In the end, King An is a dignified son, in order to avoid other people's tongues, the sooner Wang An is fair, the better. And His Royal Highness is sleeping outside the Saiwai, desperately killing the enemy, if we can't find the treasures for His Royal Highness King An, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers at the border! "Another old minister is impassioned." The rear is unstable, which good man dares to go to the battlefield in the future, and how many people can do their best? ”

The emperor's eyes narrowed more and more, and if anyone dared to look directly at him, he would definitely find that the chill in his eyes was almost ice.

I really didn't expect that the kung fu of a few words had been raised to such a situation by these guys.

"The emperor has always been worried about the country and the people, and he acts strictly, and it is natural for him to want to be strict every step of the way. But this matter is special, the ministers are only afraid that they will be shocked today, if the people behind the scenes directly destroy the treasure chest, then we will no longer have any possibility of continuing to investigate, and then this matter will become an unsolved case, only the emperor will not be able to solve it, the emperor ......"

“……”

"Does anyone have anything to add?"

The courtiers who knelt on the ground were busy talking for a while, but they didn't expect that it was only the emperor who was waiting for him. I was surprised, and I didn't know.

The emperor shouldn't be so calm, everyone knows that the emperor has always been obsessed with the origin of the county lord of Jinxi, and now because the county lord has affected General Li's reputation, because the county lord has harmed the emperor's imperial power and reputation, and stealing King An's treasures has provoked the imperial power......

No matter what, the emperor shouldn't be so calm, and there is a faint intention to help the county lord exonerate. The emperor should be furious! It should be a case! It is only right that a thorough investigation should be ordered.

But they are all so instigated, why are they still indifferent?

Is there something missing?

It was also at this time that there were officials from Shuntian Mansion outside the palace who asked to see him, and someone came to ask for an explanation in front of the Zhang family's palace, Wang Yue refused to enter the palace, and the Zhang family stopped the car and attacked the car, and Wang Yue said that there was an accident.

"Your Majesty, does the Emperor still have to hesitate?"

An old minister knocked on the ground.

"The princess is delicate, and she still did it knowing that it was dangerous to escape, which can be seen to be caused by a weak heart. Doesn't this all the more confirms her deeds? What do you mean by the word "no comment"? It's clearly an admission that you took the treasure chest! The evidence is conclusive, and I hope that the saint will investigate it thoroughly! Uphold justice for His Royal Highness King An and the Zhang family! ”

The emperor knew that this old guy had always been optimistic about Zhu Changjue.

can think of his old ministers of the two dynasties, and there is no other official in the family, the emperor did not do anything to him after Zhu Changjue fled, but at this moment, it seems that he is really not giving up. Is he afraid that the world will not be chaotic? Or do you think there is still hope for Zhu Changjue?

The old guy opened this mouth, and several courtiers followed.

"You're all sharp-eyed!" The Emperor slowly got up.

The voice was not high, but the coercion began to spread gradually.

"I don't know, are you all old and confused, or do you think I am old and confused? Or do you have other plans? Do you want to roar so urgently to persecute me and instigate me? ”

"The emperor misunderstood, and the ministers would never dare to ......"

"Shut up!" The emperor pointed at the old man just now. "Lord Zhou, you first answer the question I just asked."

"Back to the emperor, the emperor is wise and martial, it was back then, why do you say it confused? Although the old minister is old, he thinks he can still distinguish between right and wrong. The minister's sentences come from the bottom of his heart, and he doesn't dare to ......"

"Good! I'm not confused, and you're not confused, so you're calculating, right? Zhou Shunbao, you are guilty of deceiving the king! ”

The old man's face was uncertain, but it did not prevent him from starting to defend himself.

The emperor didn't care, and only waited for a dozen or so guys who knelt down on the ground to support the old man openly and secretly and demanded a thorough investigation, and then vented his anger.

"A bunch of things that fear the world won't be chaotic!"

The emperor's voice was raised sharply, and with a wave of his hand, the pen and ink on the imperial case flew towards the group of old guys kneeling at the front.

The court suddenly fell silent, the atmosphere was like an ice cave, and everyone was silent.

It's just that many people don't understand, how did the emperor sprinkle fire on them?

The emperor waved his hand again, and a hard thing flew out of nowhere, and smashed directly on the head of the Lord Zhou, knocking out a blood mark.

After Old Man Zhou snorted, he heard that the thing rolled onto the gold brick, making a crisp sound unique to metal.

In the court where the needles could be heard, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted.

"I opened my eyes wide to see what this thing was on the ground. Is it exactly the same as the treasure chest that you draw in the blood book in your hands and speak of in your mouth? ”

After a short period of suffocation, there was a sound of doubt.

Old man Zhou picked up the thing, and after looking at it for two breaths, he seemed to be burned by a hot iron, and he couldn't hold it steadily, so he let the thing roll aside.

Finished! He could see at a glance that this was the thousand boxes drawn on the blood book.

He's a little messy.

So, it was the emperor who took away the thousand boxes?

The culprit is the emperor, so isn't their blushing-necked performance just now a joke in the eyes of the emperor?

The emperor has been patient, quietly waiting for them to fall into the well?

So there are only two possibilities, one is that Cheng Ziyu handed it over to the emperor, there is something wrong with her, right? Knowing that this is a treasure box, shouldn't you open it first to see what's inside? Isn't she curious about what's in it and doesn't want it? Even if it's not a treasure, it's an important thing, maybe it's good for her and Li Chun!

Of course, the other possibility is even more terrifying. Could it be that the emperor had already noticed it and ordered Cheng Ziyu and Wang Yue to cooperate to take away this treasure box? For fishing?

The old man was so frightened that he fell to the ground, trembling like chaff.

Finished.

Finished! ……

The emperor pointed to the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, who was good at making tools, and Lord Yu stepped forward to compare.

Master Yu held a thousand boxes in his hand and quickly made a judgment.

Truly!

From the size, performance, lock to decorative pattern, it is exactly the same as the description left by the steward surnamed Zhang in the Anwang Mansion.

"That's right! This thousand-machine box of King An's Mansion is in my hands! I've given you a chance! But you guys keep talking about it! All of them look like eyewitnesses! jumped up and down one by one, and performed a good show! ”

The emperor snorted, and looked condescendingly at the dozen or so people kneeling on the ground with his back hand, each with varying degrees of cringe.

"Why don't you speak? Aren't they all talking? Aren't all righteous and strict? Aren't they all conclusive? Didn't you decide that the thing was in the hands of Cheng Ziyu and Wang Yue?

Don't they all say that they want to investigate thoroughly, and they want to search? The thing is in my hands, do you want to search it with me, check it together?

Isn't it to pursue theft? I'll tell you, it's been the third day since I got this thing! Am I a thief?

Didn't they all say that they wanted to help King An make the decision? To tell you the truth, this is a thousand machine box, and I haven't been able to open it yet.

Don't you all think it's silver? Isn't it to calm the hearts of the fourth child and the hearts of the border soldiers? So, today we opened it up with ideas. Let's see what's inside!

But I want to ask, if there are no tens of thousands of taels in it, then are you here to pay for these tens of thousands of taels? ”

The emperor walked up to Lao Zhoutou and sneered: "So, let's not disperse the dynasty today, let's open the box first." A dozen of you kneeling on the ground have listened to me. I still count my previous questions, and after unpacking, please tell me whether I am confused, or you are confused, or if you want to calculate me. Consequence...... Conceited! ”

A group of old fritters wiped their heads and sweated and shivered.

Understood.

If there are tens of thousands of taels in the box after opening the box, the emperor will no longer care about it.

But if they don't, they have to choose one of three. But how could the emperor be confused? The first one is naturally not an option. Therefore, either they are confused, or they are guilty of deception.

Who dares to commit the crime of bullying the king? So they have no choice but to "fool themselves". How can an official be confused? It's a "consequence at your own risk", so there is only one ending, that is, to take the blame and resign!

Therefore, as long as there is no silver in the box, the group of people who kneel on the ground will have no jobs! Many people began to tremble, and the emperor kept silent, just waiting for them to expose their shortcomings and throw themselves into the net, right? In this way, the emperor just got the reason to easily clean them up. This scheming is simply terrifying!

I hope, I please, there must be a silver ticket in the thousand boxes......

The emperor squinted, admiring the expressions of these people.

When he got the thousand boxes two days ago, to be honest, the emperor was very curious about what was inside. He also thought that maybe it was a silver ticket inside.

But the coincidences since Zhang's suicide and the jumping up and down of a group of old things all told him that things were not so simple. He could clearly smell the conspiracy.

He was almost certain that there would be no silver tickets in these thousand boxes. It has been half a year since the fourth child left Beijing, and it is impossible for him to anticipate today and start the layout half a year ago. And as far as the fourth child is small, the emperor doesn't think that he will leave tens of thousands of taels in the capital or by the side of a minion.

Moreover, if this is a conspiracy, then it is more logical to open it without a silver ticket......

It was precisely because of this certainty that the emperor decided to simply give this group of disobedient old things a trick.

He might not have done it before, after all, many of these people were still useful.

But at first, these people are too arrogant;

Second, Zhu Changjue has not been found yet, so he always feels that the dark place is like a knife that may fly at any time, and it is difficult to feel at ease;

Third, he must not let the fourth child also have the possibility of getting involved in the court.

Fourth, the other party is taking Li Chun under the knife, which is provoking and decomposing his imperial power.

Fifth, he wanted to give Lao Wu as much as possible to get rid of these stubborn and difficult nails first. Then when the fifth child comes back, he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

Although the emperor didn't want to admit it, the deficit in his body a while ago still made him feel a little powerless. There were some things he had to start preparing

Of course, one of the most important reasons is that these people want to borrow their own hands.

The emperor was a little lucky, but fortunately, the thousand boxes had already arrived in his hands. Otherwise, if he heard about it today, he was really afraid that he would not stop. Cheng Ziyu and Wang Yue are sure that there will be no good fruits to eat, and when the time comes, they don't know what kind of storm they will set off.

God bless the Great Zhou!

How can he still be soft on these thieves?

……

Things have to go back to the day when the Thousand Boxes were discovered.

Cheng Ziyu felt uneasy when she left King An's Mansion, and she always felt that she had missed something. At that time, she couldn't think of anything wrong, but she felt that Manager Zhang was a little weird.

To be on the safe side, she asked Wang Yue for a small favor.

She arranged for two secret guards to pretend to be Wang Yue's cronies of Wang Yue's Mansion. Since Wang Yue has been infiltrating his forces into the palace, he will transfer a few trustworthy people from the royal family in the capital to the palace every once in a while, and transfer the personnel in the palace.

The whole house knows its intentions, but King An is not there, Wang Yue is dominant, so no one dares to say a word, and after a long time, it will not be strange.

Therefore, Cheng Ziyu's secret guard arranged to go in that night, and everyone in the palace naturally didn't notice it.

One of the two secret guards was placed in the gatehouse, and the other was helping in the kitchen outside, Wang Yue opened a hole in Steward Zhang's residence, so the task of delivering food to Steward Zhang was "lost" by her to the secret guard in the kitchen in public.

The secret guard soon noticed that Steward Zhang had locked the door from the inside.

Suspicious, he deliberately took care of Steward Zhang many times, but there was no movement inside. While he noticed that the food was not moving, he also smelled a particularly thick blood coming from the house.

However, this house was arranged by Wang Yue, although the condition was poor, it was not dilapidated, and the only window was also sealed. In other words, after the door is locked inside, only the small opening that delivers food can detect the situation in the house.

It's not that the secret guard can't enter the house, but considering that Zhang Guan was seriously injured by the board beforehand, he can still be a demon, which means that it is very likely that he has helpers around him and eyeliner around him.

So instead of acting rashly, it is better to investigate secretly.

The secret guard borrowed a blood-eating snake from the guard headquarters for spying, and after waiting for an hour, he deliberately cursed while collecting the dishes and chopsticks, and put the snake into the house through the hole.

When you see a snake, it is impossible for a normal person not to move at all.

Steward Zhang was injured again, and he would definitely call for help. And the snake will definitely attack.

So the Dark Guard wanted to use this to test the situation inside.

He found a subordinate nearby to chat, but he waited for half an hour, but did not hear any movement, and he came back and urged again to ask for a job, but saw that the snake had come out of the hole again.

He didn't know it was right.

Just because the snake was only interested in living blood, it came back so quickly, which only means that there is no food for it in it. He judged at that time that Steward Zhang was afraid that he would be gone.

He waited all night, and when he looked again the next morning, he found that the food was still untouched, the smell of blood was stronger, and the door was still locked, and there was no movement inside......

Lest anyone see that he had understood, he simply pretended to be unaware and threw down his meal and left.
