Zhou Ruian looked at Fang Mingkun and said lightly: "After Chen Hewu's death, Lin Zheyuan took on the burden of taking care of Chen Xiu'er, even if Chen Xiu'er suffered from madness, Lin Zheyuan still did not give up, kept the marriage contract, and it was impossible for people to go to tea and cool; As for ingratitude? Lin Zheyuan disregarded his personal desires and pointed out you, in order to give justice to the more than 20 members of the Chen family! This is the true understanding of righteousness! After a pause, his gaze gradually became awe-inspiring: "And you, as the little marquis of the Dingguo Mansion, in order to cover up the truth, you do not hesitate to kill people and kill people, and you are wrong again and again!" ”

When the people outside heard Zhou Rui'an's words, they were even more in an uproar, Zhou Rui'an has always given everyone the impression that he is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, which only makes people feel afraid, but at this time, his words make people feel a sense of justice and awe-inspiring.

Everyone remembered Zhou Rui'an's other identity, in addition to being the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he was also the only son of King Jin.

Guan Youwei was also shocked by Zhou Rui'an's words, and couldn't help but look at him more, if only Zhou Rui'an had been like this, oh yes, it would be better to search for Zhou Rui'an and stop scolding him.

Fang Mingkun pursed his lips, he naturally heard those whispers, this scene spread out, even if the Dingguo Mansion was not convicted, but the reputation of the Dingguo Mansion and the queen's mother was almost ruined, he couldn't let such a thing happen!

Fang Mingkun took a step forward and was about to defend himself, but Zhou Ruian didn't give him this chance, he looked at the little beggar: "Tell me what you see." ”

The little beggar was relieved by the Chen family back then, and he was only eleven or twelve years old, but now more than ten years have passed, and he has grown up.

The little beggar is much calmer than the husband: "The villain meets the adult, the villain's name is Chen Pickup, the villain doesn't know who my parents are, and I don't have a surname, this name is taken by myself, Chen is the Chen family who was destroyed, and I picked it up because my life was picked up by the Chen family." ”

Chen Zhu spoke in a clear manner, although he was still a little nervous, but the narrative was very clear, and he vividly expressed the gratitude of a lonely orphan to his benefactor.

The common people were always prone to sympathy for those who were more miserable than them, and everyone was quiet and listened to the little beggar.

"The villain has been thin since he was a child, and he can't rob other beggars, and then Mama Hai of the Chen family accidentally met the villain, and often sent the leftovers from the house to the villain, and because of this, the villain moved to live in the alley near the Chen family, just to mix a bite of food." Chen picked up and said, his eyes couldn't help but turn red: "The villain remembers very clearly, on the day of the crime, the Chen family was rewarded by the palace, Master Chen was very happy, the whole house was rewarded, and Mama Hai also specially left me a chicken leg, which was the first time the villain ate a chicken leg." ”

Chen Xuan's words were very calm, but they were extremely picturesque, and the people seemed to see that the skinny child back then was elated because he ate chicken legs.

All of a sudden, the Chen family, who had a vague impression, suddenly had a clear impression.

In fact, the Chen family has been wiped out for so many years, and the people who are good at forgetting have long since forgotten the people or things of the Chen family, until now, when they hear Chen Shu's words, they naturally think of the Chen family, which is a benevolent and generous family, so that a little beggar still remembers the kindness of the Chen family for so many years.

"On that day, the villain knew that the embroidery of the Chen family had won the blue eyes of the nobles in the palace, so someone would come to the palace to reward him" Chen Xuan said, looking at Guan Youwei: "Because of that chicken leg, the villain eats more, and he can't sleep at night, so he will see those things!" ”

"That day, I saw a group of black-clothed people arrive outside the door of Chen's house, and they were all strong in martial arts, because they all jumped directly into the courtyard from the wall! At that time, the villain was so frightened that he almost screamed, but the villain covered his mouth tightly so that he didn't make a sound! Chen said only to find that he had become tearful.

"You saw the murderer enter Chen's house that day?" Guan Youwei asked solemnly.

Chen Shu wiped his tears: "The villain has seen it!" The leader is Chen Hewu, the dart head of Weiyuan Dart Bureau! ”

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Lin Zheyuan was shocked, but then he lowered his head in a dejected manner, his eyes were complicated.

He could no longer deceive himself, the master who had protected him since he was a child, turned out to be so ruthless to others.

Fang Mingkun was furious: "What nonsense! You are just nonsense! ”

It is normal for Fang Mingkun to be angry, now it is well known that the Weiyuan Dart Bureau is inseparable from the Queen Mother, this Weiyuan Dart Game is destroyed, and the Queen Mother is still the biggest suspect!

Why did Chen Hewu destroy the Chen family? By whom was he directed? Everyone's eyes fell on Fang Mingkun's body, like a man's back.

"The villain never lies half-heartedly!" Chen Ji continued: "It's all villains who are cowardly, after seeing Chen Hewu, they didn't dare to call the door to warn them, and then about half an hour later, Chen Hewu and others walked out of Chen's house, and after a while, there was a fire, and I kept staring at Chen Hewu!" Just to remember the true face of the enemy! ”

Chen Shu couldn't help crying bitterly, he shouted out of control: "It's all villains, if I could be brave at that time and call people, maybe, maybe the Chen family will not be destroyed!" More than 20 mouthfuls! More than 20 mouthfuls! All died tragically! After a pause, he sniffed, "On the second day, the government came, but the government quickly came to the conclusion that it was just a fire, and the case was closed." ”

Guan Youwei looked a little uncomfortable, and now it has been confirmed that the Chen family was killed first, and then set fire to the corpse, which shows that the government was indeed negligent back then.

"The villain is unwilling, the Chen family died unjustly, but the villain thinks again, the Chen family is just an ordinary merchant, why would it lead to death?" Chen Ji continued: "The villain is a beggar, and the most contact is the three religions and nine streams, and the villain only knows after many inquiries that it is the Chen family who has offended Xungui!" ”

Guan Youwei glanced at Fang Mingkun and continued to ask, "What happened later?" ”

"Later, the villain kept investigating and secretly visiting, and finally found out that the noble person offended by the Chen family was the Dianguo Mansion!" Chen Ji pointed at Fang Mingkun angrily, his face full of indignation: "A few days before the incident, the embroidery of the Chen family had just been rewarded as a tribute, and someone saw that the housekeeper of the Dingguo Mansion went to see Master Chen, in order to join the gang, but was rejected by Master Chen, and within a few days, something happened to the Chen family!" ”

"It's just that back then, the villain was soft-spoken, and even the Chen family was wiped out, not to mention the villain and a little beggar? The villain can only survive in secret! The villain is ashamed of the Chen family's kindness! Chen Ji said with tears in his eyes, but he was indignant: "But I didn't expect that two years later, I saw Chen Hewu again in the capital, and I turned into the chief dart head of Weiyuan Dart Bureau!" The villain feels unfair, why can the bad guy get away with it, but the good guy can only die unjustly! ”

Chen Ji raised his head, looked at Guan Youwei and said, "God has eyes!" Finally made the villain wait for this day! Even if he wants the villain's life, the villain will definitely tell the facts he sees and give the Chen family justice! ”

Fang Mingkun's face was full of anger: "Don't be untrustworthy, just listen to a few words of gossip and take it as true!" You are all just one-sided words, there is no evidence! ”

Lin Zheyuan kept his head down and didn't speak anymore, he listened to Chen Xuan's words, he only felt chills all over his body, but he couldn't argue anything.

Zhou Rui'an spoke slowly at this time: "The matter is already obvious, this is a serial case, since the Weiyuan Dart Bureau was destroyed, the Weiyuan Dart Bureau has become the first dart game in the world in a short period of time, and it is the Dingguo Mansion that supports the Weiyuan Dart Bureau!" The Dingguo Mansion used the Weiyuan Dart Bureau to achieve its own goals. ”

"Seventeen years ago, the Chen family's Chen embroidery was a must, was sent to the palace as a tribute, Dingguo Gong saw that it was profitable, so he wanted to get a piece of the pie, but he didn't expect to be rejected by the Chen family, so he held a grudge and had murderous intent. It is said that with the power of the Dingguo Mansion, it was easy to deal with the small merchant of the Chen family, so the Chen family was destroyed. Zhou Rui'an continued: "But the sky net is restored, and Dingguo Gong would not have thought that he was just an inconspicuous little beggar, who only remembered it with the grace of a few meals. ”

Zhou Rui'an looked at Guan Youwei, with a rare positive color on his handsome face: "My lord, the embroidery of the Chen family has become a tribute, and Chen Shu may still be secretly happy for the Chen family, but neither the Chen family nor Chen Ji would have thought that this would become a talisman for the Chen family!" After a pause, he continued: "Fortunately, now that everything has been revealed, the Dingguo Mansion will not cooperate, and then kill people!" ”

Zhou Ruian said, waved his hand, and Jin Yiwei brought a tray.

"This is what I collected, after the Chen family was wiped out, the embroidery business of the cloth village in the capital was monopolized by a cloth village called Ruibao Pavilion, and the owner behind this Ruibao Pavilion is the Dingguo Mansion!"

As soon as this remark came out, it was almost concluded that the motive for the killing of the Dingguo Mansion was determined, one was a good family, and the other was a nobleman in the capital, and the common people instinctively stood on the side of the weak.

Recently, the reputation of the Dingguo Mansion is really not too good, Weiyuan Dart Bureau is the queen's power in the people, and it was destroyed overnight, or the queen's mother's guards led it, and the queen was taken away from the phoenix seal, and the Dingguo Mansion, as the queen's maiden family, is naturally also implicated.

Now another case has emerged, in order to rob the business, the Dingguo Mansion has also destroyed all people, which directly caused public anger!

"Punish the murderer! Punish the murderers! The people were furious and shouted loudly.

Guan Youwei sent a messenger to maintain order, and slapped several times in a row: "Quiet! Quiet! ”

Zhou Ruian didn't intend to let Fang Mingkun go like this, he looked at Fang Mingkun and said, "I was ordered to thoroughly investigate the Chen family's murder tragedy, but Fang Mingkun stopped me three times and twice, learned that I had found important evidence, and even did not hesitate to kidnap my best friend to threaten me!" ”

The people were even more in an uproar, they didn't expect that someone would dare to threaten the commander of Jinyiwei, Guan Youwei was also surprised, Zhou Ruian actually had a close friend?

Zhou Rui'an said with a moving face: "My friend was implicated by me, kidnapped by Fang Mingkun, imprisoned by him, and seriously injured!" If Fang Mingkun wasn't weak-hearted, why bother?! ”

"You!" Fang Mingkun looked at Zhou Rui'an angrily.

After Fang Mingkun kidnapped Jiang Qingyue, the reason why he appeared in front of Jiang Qingyue was actually to make up his mind and not leave Jiang Qingyue alive, but he didn't expect that the second prince became a pig teammate and took the initiative to release people, although Zhou Ruian also sent the evidence over later, and finally gained a little.

But Fang Mingkun didn't expect that Zhou Ruian would say this at this time! He instinctively turned his head, and soon found Jiang Qingyue's figure among the onlookers, and he immediately figured it out, Zhou Rui'an's next step was to let Jiang Qingyue come out to identify him!

Fang Mingkun was really a little flustered at this time, if Jiang Qingyue came out to testify at this time, his situation would be more passive, he only hoped now that Jiang Qingyue could take care of the second prince's life-saving grace to her, and let her not speak out at this time.

Jiang Qingyue in the crowd also looked at Zhou Ruian, but Fang Mingkun didn't expect that Zhou Ruian didn't intend to let Jiang Qingyue come out to testify.

Fang Mingkun may not understand, but Jiang Qingyue knows that Zhou Rui'an can't let her come out at this time, she was rescued that day because of the second prince, if she came forward to identify Fang Mingkun at this time, it would be regarded as revenge, and she would definitely be ashamed of the second prince in the future, with Zhou Rui'an's temperament, she would not let such a thing happen.

Jiang Qingyue guessed well, but she wouldn't know that Zhou Ruian actually had other plans.

After Zhou Rui'an mentioned this matter, the conversation changed: "Now that Dingguo Gong instructed Chen Hewu to kill the Chen family, the facts of the case are already clear; Fang Mingkun bribed Lin Zheyuan to kill the witnesses, and it is also impossible to escape the blame, Lord Guan, it's time to play the saint! ”

"No need, I already know."

A majestic voice sounded, Zhou Ruian looked back, and saw that Emperor Xuande appeared in the crowd of onlookers at some point, and had been hiding behind, so Zhou Ruian and Guan Youwei didn't notice it just now.

Emperor Xuande went out of the palace, and there were many guards around him, surrounding him in the middle, at this time he identified himself and strode into the lobby.

Zhou Ruian and Guan Youwei hurriedly came over to salute: "Weichen see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

The people didn't expect to see the emperor in person today, and they knelt down and shouted long live.

Since the last time Emperor Xuande fainted, he has been living in seclusion, although he still insists on going to court every day, but the time to meet the minister has been significantly reduced, I didn't expect him to go out of the palace in person this time to ask about this case.

Emperor Xuande walked up to the seat of the main hall and sat down, his sharp eyes swept over everyone, and then he said lightly: "Don't be polite, I came to see Guan Qing's trial, don't let me disturb you." ”

"Your Majesty!" Fang Mingkun suddenly knelt on the ground and looked at Emperor Xuande: "The minister is wronged!" These are all Zhou Rui'an's one-sided words, Your Majesty don't believe him! ”

"I didn't believe him, the evidence I believed." Emperor Xuande said in a light tone: "I have heard it clearly enough, Guan Qing, you are the Siqing of Dali Temple, how should this case be judged?" ”

Emperor Xuande opened his mouth, Guan Youwei knew that Emperor Xuande did not intend to appease the Dingguo Mansion, it seems that the queen mother has really fallen out of favor.

Thinking about it like this, Guan Youwei had the bottom in his heart: "Your Majesty, the facts of the case are already very clear, as Lord Zhou said, the Dingguo Mansion first murdered the Chen family, and Fang Mingkun was suspected of kidnapping and buying murder, despising the Holy Dragon Power, and ignoring the laws and regulations of the imperial court, the evidence is conclusive, and it should be beheaded according to the law!" ”

As soon as the four words came out, Fang Mingkun raised his head abruptly and looked at Guan Youwei in disbelief.

Until now, he didn't believe that Guan Youwei really dared to kill him!

Fang Mingkun sneered: "Lord Guan only relies on the one-sided words of two untouchables, and he wants to take the blame, which is too child's play!" Even if there was a gap between the Dingguo Mansion and the Chen family in business back then, but my Dingguo Mansion was given by the emperor, and it was full of loyalty, how could it target a small Chen family? This must be those under his command, in order to ask for a reward, to make their own opinions, begging Your Majesty to see! ”

The corners of Zhou Rui'an's mouth hooked, and he said with a sneer: "It seems that you are going to exonerate yourself again for the crime of disfavorably controlling your subordinates?" What the guards around the queen do, the queen has the crime of negligence, and now the subordinates of the Dingguo Mansion make their own opinions, and the Dingguo Mansion is how to restrain the subordinates? ”

"You!" Fang Mingkun looked at Zhou Ruian and was furious!

"Enough!" Emperor Xuande slapped the table with his bare hands.

Zhou Rui'an's words made Emperor Xuande think of what the queen did again, that poisonous woman dared to change his daughter! The whereabouts of his daughter are still unknown! This is intolerable for Emperor Xuande!

Zhou Rui'an and Fang Mingkun's expressions froze, and they lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Here in Dali Temple, Zhou Ruian and Fang Mingkun are tense, and in the palace at this time, a silent war is about to begin.

After Concubine Qin finished dealing with the affairs of the harem, she rubbed her forehead, and Mama Liang beside her walked in in in a panic and sent all the palace maids away.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty is out of the palace." Mama Liang said anxiously.

Qin Guifei chuckled: "If you leave the palace, you will leave the palace, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Mama Liang took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Concubine Qin, while saying: "This is news from the family, the slave must be handed over to the mother," after a pause, she continued: "The slave heard that today Zhou Ruian directly broke into the Dingguo Mansion and arrested Fang Mingkun to Dali Temple, Niangniang, do you say that Your Majesty will also go to Dali Temple when he leaves the palace?" ”

Concubine Qin didn't speak, but just opened the letter sent by her mother's family, and the sight of the scene made her sit up suddenly.

Mama Liang was taken aback by her, she had never seen Concubine Qin so out of shape, and she couldn't help but call out nervously: "Niangniang? ”

"Don't make any noise!" Concubine Qin said a little excitedly, then stood up and walked around the room.

Mama Liang didn't dare to say more, and stood quietly to the side.

Concubine Qin Guifei walked back and forth a few steps, gradually calming down, she suddenly glanced at Mama Liang: "Do you remember, the last time His Royal Highness and Fang Mingkun went to see the queen, what did they say?" ”

"Remember, it was said that it was related to Qing Guifei." Mama Liang replied cautiously.

As soon as the corners of Qin Guifei's mouth hooked, her beautiful face was revealed, and she murmured: "Qing Guifei, it seems that this time, I am going to borrow your hand to kill someone." ”

After Concubine Qin finished speaking, she glanced at Mama Liang: "You send someone to deliver a message to the Given Guogong Mansion!" ”

Mama Liang didn't dare to say more, so she bowed her head and said yes.

In Dali Temple, the case of the Chen family has now been settled, and Guan Youwei was worried that the emperor would favor the Dingguo Mansion did not appear, so he happily decided to announce the verdict.

"Now that the facts are clear, then this official declares ......"

"Wait!" Suddenly, an old voice rang out from outside the lobby.

Emperor Xuande suddenly appeared before, which led to the fact that Zhou Ruian and Guan Youwei are extremely calm now, and they don't feel strange who appears anyway.

The people got out of the way, and the person who came turned out to be Dingguo Gong!

Dingguo Gong appeared outside the hall in a cloth robe, he was the same age as Emperor Xuande, five years older than Emperor Xuande, but compared to Emperor Xuande, he was much older, and half of his black hair had already turned pale.

When Emperor Xuande saw what was in Dingguogong's hand, he was stunned.

Zhou Rui'an and Guan Youwei also saw what he was holding, Guan Youwei walked to Zhou Rui'an's side, lowered his voice and said: "This time it's a big fuss, Dingguo Gong even invited out the Danshu iron coupons." ”

Zhou Ruian didn't speak, but sighed in his heart, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do what he wanted today.

Dingguo Gong walked slowly into the lobby, and then knelt on the ground with a plop, his eyes full of tears: "Your Majesty, the ancestors followed the grandfather to fight the world, and sacrificed his life to save the grandfather three times. ”

The ancestors of the Dingguo Mansion followed the Taizu to fight the world, and the Dianguo Mansion also produced a lot of generals who died on the battlefield, and later the Dingguo Mansion was worried about the high merit and shocked the lord, so he took the initiative to hand over the military power and only maintain the unity of the imperial power.

The four words of loyalty to the country are well deserved, so for so many years, the Dingguo Mansion is still the top nobles in the capital, and Emperor Xuande set up the girl of the Dingguo Mansion as the queen.

"My Dingguo Mansion has been passed to the present, the ancestors died on the battlefield a total of 27 people, 15 people have not even found the corpse of the capital, my great-grandfather guarded Liuzhou, in order to cover the evacuation of the people, he did not hesitate to let his eldest grandson as bait, luring away the Tatar army! In the end, my great-grandfather's eldest grandson was killed by the rebels, and when he died, he was only eleven years old! Dingguo Gong said, tears fell involuntarily: "Until the time of his great-grandfather's death, he just said, he never regretted it, Dingguo Mansion, to be worthy of the word Dingguo!" ”

The audience was silent, even Emperor Xuande's eyebrows couldn't help but waver a little, he sighed, in fact, what Dingguo Gong was going to say next, he already knew in his heart that he could sit on the throne of God back then, and he also had the support of Dingguo Gongfu.

Otherwise, when the King of Jin was so favored by the first emperor, but died to save him, how could the first emperor not treat him? But later, he still sat on the throne, which was indispensable to the plan of Dingguo Gong, and the two of them were already called brothers back then.

Later, he married the queen, at that time, he promised Dingguo Gong that he would take good care of the queen for the rest of his life, trust each other, and never fail each other, and those promises made when he was young were gradually forgotten after he became the emperor.

Now that I suddenly think about it, they have gone through half of their lives.
