Chapter 089: Two Fake Silver Tickets
With a golden abacus guarding him, this night, Zhao Chen had a good sleep for a long time.
So much so that as soon as she entered the official office street the next morning, when she met Kun Wu head-on, she smiled and said hello to the other party.
Kun Wu bowed respectfully, ignored her, and walked straight to the household.
Xia Mingji, who was on the side, responded lukewarmly: "Prince Wu came quite early. β
"Lao Xia, this is yours, why do you still hold grudges?" Zhao Chen smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "As the saying goes, debts are eliminated, people are revenge, you are generous, we have to work together-"
Xia Mingji's eyebrows jumped, sideways to avoid her hand, and said lightly: "Don't worry, Xia Guan is an impartial person." β
As they spoke, there was a scream in the hall.
Zhao Chen frowned, walked quickly inside, and smelled the smell of fresh blood in a few steps, and saw Xie Duan, who was standing alone in the courtyard with a blue face.
"What's going on?" She pulled Xie aside and asked in a low voice.
"The old man is going to face the saint!" Xie Duan's beard trembled, "Your Majesty actually sent a madman to assist in the investigation of the case!" Liu Dacai just said a few words and didn't know, he actually dared to move! also took the edict to suppress the old man! β
Zhao Chen hurriedly grabbed him, walked away again, and said softly: "Kun Wu has always been ruthless, Your Majesty knows better than anyone else in his heart, and the reason for sending him here is to complement you, both soft and hard-"
"The old man knows!" Xie Duan shook her off angrily, "But he was ruthless, and the three sticks almost broke Lord Liu's legs, even if he was suspicious, he was also a courtier, how could he be allowed to be a martial artist!" β
Zhao Chen was silent and grabbed him again, "Old Xie, have you ever thought about it, this may have been instructed by His Majesty..."
Xie Duan froze suddenly, his face trembled slightly, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Okay, you stay honest, don't make a fuss, I'll go in and have a look." Zhao Chen coaxed him like a child, and then he walked towards the left courtyard.
Blood, just for a while, is blood everywhere.
Several household officials in official uniforms were lying upright in a pool of blood, only a low humming sound.
"Yo, why is this still in use?" She steadied herself and walked in with a smile.
Kun Wu glanced at her coldly, and continued to ask the people on the ground, "Who else approached the official treasury before the fire started?" β
None of the people of the earth dared to answer.
Kunwu's eyes lit up, and he was full of murderous intent, and he waved his hand to order someone to fight again.
"General Kun." Zhao Chen squinted his eyes and called out, and walked up to him, "What Your Majesty said yesterday is an inquiry, not a forced confession, your hand-" She held Kunwu's raised wrist.
"Let's take a break!" She didn't use any force, but she successfully pulled down his hand, and couldn't help but think.
"Is Prince Wu going to stop the last general from trying the case?" Kungo withdrew his hand and asked lightly.
"Where do you dare, this king just wants to judge himself, after all, it is the first time to be an official, and it is very novel."
Kungo stared at her, his eyes were full of turbulent violence, and it took a long time to force himself down and walk out without saying a word.
Zhao Chen looked at his back suspiciously.
This one is a little weird, and it's weird from beginning to end.
After a moment, she smiled at the pale-faced officials of the Criminal Department around her: "Why don't you hurry up and help a few adults to the inner hall, and then ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look." β
Xia Mingji came back to his senses and nodded at his subordinates before they stepped forward in panic and dragged people away.
Half an hour later, the bloodstains in the hall were washed away one by one, and Lao Xie also eased down and sat down to prepare for inquiry.
But at this time, a person hurriedly walked in outside and went straight to Zhao Chen.
Han Feng only whispered a few words to her, then made her clench her hands and walk out quickly.
However, before she could walk out of the official office street, Kungo, who had just left, reappeared and stopped her.
"Your Majesty has summoned you to the palace." He said coldly, making a gesture of please.
Zhao Chen slowly let go of his white hand, whispered a few words to Han Feng, and then followed Kun Wu towards the palace.
In the Silent Palace, her voice was as cold as frost and snow: "You remember, this king has no other advantages, only hatred is the most." β
Kungo didn't fluctuate on his face and continued walking.
She pursed her lips and exhaled a few breaths, forcibly suppressing the restlessness in her heart, and her feet were a little faster.
In the Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Chu's expression was cold, and he didn't say a word when he saw her walking into the ground.
"Your Majesty, neither the minister nor the head of the house really know about this matter." This time she didn't wait quietly for the other party to speak.
"Don't know?" Emperor Chu seemed to smile, "Prince Wu, you give me a good look!" β
With a flick of his sleeve, a wooden plate on the table was suddenly swept off and smashed right on her shoulder.
She leaned down in the hall, and two flying silver tickets slowly fell in front of her.
Two fake silver tickets β
"It's found in your steward's purse! You're telling me now that you don't know? Emperor Chu smiled deeply, "Do you believe this?" β
She slowly straightened up and looked up at Emperor Chu.
"Your Majesty is aware that it is not only Lord Xia who owes money to the ministers before, but also Lord Liang Xuliang, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, and they also gave the ministers four thousand taels, and the ministers handed them over to Shuangxi..."
"Your Majesty." She knocked on the ground, "Before yesterday, the minister had always been peaceful, and I really didn't understand how he was involved in the fake silver ticket when he entered the court." β
"Besides, if the minister really has something to do with the fake silver ticket, it's too late to hide it tightly, how could he let it appear in Shuangxi's money bag, and it was stolen by someone so coincidentally, and he bumped into the official of the criminal department, and met General Kun's subordinates..."
She said methodically: "Your Majesty Mingjian, if a coincidence is connected, it is not called a coincidence-"
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" Suddenly there was a sound of an announcement outside the hall.
Emperor Chu's eyes sank, one hand slowly clenched the armrest, and after a few breaths before letting go, the person also stood up and respectfully greeted the palace gate.
"Mother, why are you here?" Emperor Chu bent slightly and helped him.
The Queen Mother glanced at him lightly, and called out to Zhao Chen, who was kneeling in the hall: "Chen'er, stand up, when you ask the mourning family for peace with your legs and feet, the mourning family can't bear to let you kneel." β
Emperor Chu was silent, and said, "Prince Wu, get up and talk back!" β
Zhao Chen slowly got up, walked to the Queen Mother, helped her sit on the soft couch, and knelt in front of her.
"Emperor, the truth that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics is understood by the mourning family." The Queen Mother stroked Zhao Chen's pale face with pity, "You are the king and the emperor, you govern the court and the world, you have your own thoughts, and the mourning family also understands." β
"But the mourners still have to tell you." There was a cold color on the old face of the Queen Mother, "The mourning family is old, there are not many days to live, and there is no other luxury, I just want this only good grandson to be able to live forever." β
"Emperor, the whole world is yours, but the only mourning family is Chen'er."
Emperor Chu stood with his hands in his hands, and said for a long time: "Prince Wu will retreat and go back to the house first, and don't interfere in the case." β
The gore in the Tobu Hall, the violence in Kungo's eyes... All of them lingered in Zhao Chen's mind.
She tightened her palms tighter and tighter, and said softly: "Back to Your Majesty, the head of the criminal minister has been pampered for many years, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the heavy punishment of General Kun, I hope you can allow the criminal minister to go and see him, so that he can explain the cause and effect as soon as possibleββ"
"I said, let you go back to the house first." Emperor Chu said in a solemn voice, "Are you trying to resist the decree?" β
"The sinners don't dare." Zhao Chen knocked on the ground again, and when he straightened up, he suddenly hooked his lips slightly, "Your Majesty, the joint of this matter is on the criminal minister, in order to prove his innocence, the criminal minister is willing to ask the palace guard to seal the palace palace of King Wu, I hope Your Majesty will allow it!" β
