Chapter 138: Being a ghost won't let you go
Hundreds of officials talked about it, and no one knew that the emperor suddenly came to such a move, whether it was the first emperor to possess him, or whether he suddenly opened his mind? Usually, this little emperor only focuses on wood art and never pays attention to government affairs. A major event in the court. But if it is not too much, it is always handled by the regent Dongfang Yue and the Rui prince Zhao Shuo.
How about this time? The emperor gave birth to seven exquisite tricks?
"Ahem!" Zhao Shuo coughed lightly, and the originally noisy Jinluan Hall was instantly silent.
Zhao Shuo frowned, "This king has occasionally felt cold recently, and his throat is a little uncomfortable, don't be surprised." ”
"Don't dare!" Hundreds of officials saluted.
Stretching his waist, Zhao Shuo got up and walked slowly towards the door, "Why haven't you come back yet?" ”
Zhao Lu walked down from the dragon chair quickly, "Uncle Huang, don't be in a hurry. I've been there for a while, and I'll be back in a while. ”
Zhao Shuo pointed to Dongfang Yue, "Weichen is not in a hurry, but he is worried that the regent is in a hurry." After a good night's sleep, he was really refreshed, and if the emperor was bored, he could also take a nap. This matter is laid out horizontally and vertically, and it cannot be rushed or slowed. ”
"What Uncle Huang said is extremely true, I can't be in a hurry, and I can't be slow." Zhao Lu bowed.
"It is the duty of the emperor to uphold the dynasty. The destiny of heaven is returned, and it can be reversed by manpower. Zhao Shuo said paradoxically, "Look." Here it comes. ”
Outside, Liang Yiru led a group of people to kneel outside the Golden Palace.
Zhao Shuo put his hands behind him, "Has the emperor ever seen such a scene?" ”
Zhao Lu shook his head.
"Wechen has seen it once." When he said this, Zhao Lu turned his head to look at him in amazement, but saw that Zhao Shuo's face had an extremely strange and complicated emotion.
It seems to be nostalgic, like a memory, and it seems to hate it to the extreme. It's cold to the bottom of my heart.
After speaking, Zhao Shuo quickly walked back to his position, and Zhao Lu also followed back to the dragon chair.
Liang Yiru knelt in the golden hall, "Your Majesty, the ministers have gathered all the witnesses and testimonies outside the hall, waiting for the emperor to summon them at any time." ”
"Xuan." Zhao Lu said busily.
Dongfang Yue sneered, "Those lawless people." How can you go to the temple at will? If you can easily meet Long Yan, where is the majesty of the emperor? Where is the prestige of the imperial court? ”
Zhao Shuo frowned slightly, "Choose someone who can speak clearly, go to the palace to face the monarch, and the bitter lord doesn't have to come in." ”
"Yes!" Liang retreated with a Confucian salute.
After a short time, he took a man to the Jinluan Palace.
This man in a green shirt was in his early thirties, and his face was a little pale, and he had never seen such a battle. kneeling there only knew kowtow to the emperor, but he also understood that there was no emperor's permission. As an ordinary person, you are not allowed to look up and see Long Yan.
"What's your name?" Zhao Lu asked.
The man said, "Lizheng of Wangjiazhuang on the outskirts of Xiaomin City, Liu Sanming, see the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
Zhao Lu bowed his head, "Liu Sanming, I came to ask you, what is the matter with you gathering so many villagers, surrounding Jingzhao Mansion, and almost wanting to drum and shout grievances?" ”
Liu Sanming knelt on the ground, "The grass people led the crowd to complain, it was not a trouble, there was really a big grievance and there was no place to appeal, so I had to lead the villagers in the village to surround Jingzhao Mansion." ”
"I'm sitting here today to try the case, and you can come and hear it." Zhao Lu didn't dare to be too loud, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Dongfang Yue with a black face from time to time.
Liang Yiru bowed down and held a white cloth blood book in his hands, "Your Majesty, this is a joint letter from the people of the eight villages in ten miles inside and outside the capital." It is recorded that there are facts about the regent's palace secretly conniving with evil slaves in the palace, kidnapping young girls, recklessly pursuing selfish desires, and testing medicine with living people. ”
His voice was sonorous and powerful, and if he was a little trembling, it was also because of righteous indignation.
So many lives, so many families, whether they can take revenge or not, is in his hands.
"Test?" The officials were stunned and looked at each other.
Dongfang Yue's eyes were ruthless, "Nonsense!" If my regent palace really wants to test people on medicine, who can't find them, why do you go to find those girls? ”
"What's the Lord Regent's hurry, isn't it unfinished? The prince is in a hurry, but he is suspected of not admitting himself. Zhao Shuo rubbed his eyebrows, "Don't worry, there will be time later, leave it to the regent to argue." ”
Liang Yiru continued, "The place where the medicine is tested is the mountain stream of Beifeng Mountain, and the so-called miasma forest is the soft smoke of the Baihua Palace. A chivalrous warrior broke in at the risk of death, fought hard, rescued all the girls, and took the test drug classics, including the Miao Jiang Gu poison that was still in the trial period. Nowadays, the human and material evidence are all there, and the emperor can summon the human evidence to verify them one by one. ”
This remark instantly caused an uproar.
The murderer of the robbery and murder of the girl who has been tracking down for so long is actually from the Regent's Mansion. Those people are like ants, and if they die, they will die.
However, this case also involved six officials who were killed. Assassinating an official of the imperial court and obstructing the handling of the imperial court's case is a capital crime of murder. also killed six people in a row, this crime is too big, I'm afraid that a thousand knives are not enough.
"Hmph, you said that I did it from the Regent's Palace, what about the evidence? Who will bear the sin of framing empty mouths and white teeth? Dongfang Yue chuckled coldly.
Zhao Lu fidgeted, "First, first present the form, let me take a look." ”
Liang Yiru bowed his head and quickly presented the form to Zhao Lu.
"If you go back to the emperor, the grass people have and have evidence." No one forgot that there was still a Liu Sanming kneeling in the hall.
Zhao Lu was stunned, "What evidence?" Present it quickly. ”
Dongfang straightened up and narrowed his dangerous eyes.
I saw Liu Sanming take out a piece of paper, a token, and a fragment of a clay pot gently wrapped in a cloth from his arms, "This is the blueprint of the secret passage of Beifeng Mountain that the knight took out from the dungeon of Beifeng Mountain, as well as the token on the alchemist's body, and the fragments of the vinegar jar in the secret room." Above, there are totemic imprints belonging to the regent's palace. ”
Dongfang got up quickly, who knew that Zhao Shuo took a step faster, held the drawings in his hand, and said with a calm smile, "Beifeng Mountain is a good place, but it's a pity - hiding filth and dirt has become a purgatory on earth." Looking at the nine curves and eighteen bends on this drawing, it must have taken a lot of effort to find this place and make such a secret room. ”
"It's just a piece of paper, how can it be seen that it's my regent's mansion?" Dongfang Yue did not see any imprints on the drawings that belonged to the Regent's Palace.
The fingertips of Zhao Shuo's thumb gently rubbed the upper left corner of the drawing, "Want to know?" He looked up and said, "Someone, bring me a fire fold." ”
In a short time, a guard quickly broke the fire to the ground.
"Everyone, you are optimistic." He placed the upper left corner of the paper on the flame and smoked it slightly, and four small words of "Regent's Palace" gradually appeared in the upper left corner.
"How so?" Dongfang stared at the drawings in disbelief.
"Don't you know that the paper used by the officials and the people are different. The imperial court had a special paper mill, and the paper produced was marked with a secret seal. Zhao Shuo straightened the drawing, "You adults can come and take a closer look." ”
Liang Yiru walked down and picked up the token, "Presumably the regent will not be unfamiliar, this is the unique token of the prince's chamberlain." It is said that there are no more than five people in the Great Yan Dynasty who can have this token. I don't know which adult next to the prince is lucky enough to walk up to the Golden Palace and take this back? ”
Dongfang Yue quickly took the token.
"The prince can be merciful, if you use your strength, this thing will be gone." Zhao Shuo reached out to get it.
Dongfang Yue is not willing to let go.
With his hands clenched, Zhao Shuo chuckled evilly, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, extremely enchanting, only to hear Zhao Shuo regretfully, "Lord Wang, this is the plan - destroy the corpse and destroy the traces?" ”
He withdrew his hand, Dongfang Yue's eyes were fierce, "Zhao Shuo!" ”
All the officials were shocked, only to see Dongfang Yue spread out his hand, and the token had become powder and was scattered on the ground.
"Why bother, Lord Wang?" Zhao Shuo sighed lightly, "It's just a subordinate, even if the prince has the heart to defend it, there is no need to be in such a hurry." ”
Liang Yiru picked up the fragments of the vinegar jar on the ground, "As we all know, the official wine jar and vinegar jar are all exclusively supplied by the imperial court, and they can be properly delivered to the official's home after layers of strict control." Especially in the Regent's Palace, in terms of food, it is no different from the palace. The fragment of the vinegar jar was taken out of the secret room by the knight. The prince wouldn't know that the inside of the official jar would be engraved with the special words of each prefecture and each court, right? ”
That's where the big guys end up.
Everything is specialized, so once someone gets caught, it becomes the biggest threat.
"This kind of thing can be found everywhere, maybe you went to the Regent's Mansion to steal it." Dongfang Yue gritted his teeth, at this moment, he couldn't wait to eat Zhao Shuo and Liang Yiru's flesh.
"The soft smoke in the miasma forest must be resolved with a concentration more than ten times that of ordinary kitchen vinegar. However, this vinegar is extremely difficult to brew, and ordinary diets do not need such sour and astringent things. The prince doesn't want to say that that's what he usually drinks, right? "Liang Yiru is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Bastard, I need you to intervene in the affairs of my regent's palace?" The more the East is about to leave. Macro retirement.
"The regent walked slowly, he hadn't seen the witnesses yet, so he left, and the people of the world still thought you were a thief! Since he is sitting upright, the prince might as well sit and wait for the result. Since it is a stigma framed, listen to it, there will be loopholes, and it will naturally be self-defeating. Zhao Shuo said slowly, and smiled at Liang Yiru, "I've seen all this evidence, let the witnesses come up!" This king is fresh, what will these immortal women look like if they see the regent. ”
Liang Yiru bowed his head, went out quickly, and personally led the rescued girls into the Jinluan Palace.
The girl knelt on the ground and shouted long live.
Among them, there is also the person from the Baihua Palace who was seriously injured yesterday - treading snow. The hateful eyes stared fiercely at Dongfang Yue in the palace, hating to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
But she also knew that the purpose of her coming here at this moment was not to kill Dongfang Yue. If you kill Dongfang Yue, the young master will be in danger, so for the sake of the young master, Baihua Palace must not act rashly.
Without exception, everyone pointed out that the regent palace was murderous, and the appearance of the villain described was very similar to Jingming.
Only then did Dongfang Yue understand that Zhao Shuo's ultimate goal was not himself, nor the Regent's Mansion, but the secret guard of the Regent's Mansion, and his Dongfang Yue's right-hand man.
But when he figured it out, it was too late.
"This seems to be the retinue at the Regent's side!" Zhao Shuo frowned, "Emperor Qi, Weichen has met with that person a few times, and now what everyone is describing should be Jingming." ”
"Chuan Jingming goes to the temple." Zhao Lu spoke.
The eunuch left in a hurry, Dongfang Yue did not stop him, he could already guess Jing Ming's fate. In fact, since this matter has been shaken out, it also involves the regent palace, and if no one takes responsibility, it will cause public anger.
Dongfang Yue still knows the truth that the public is angry and difficult to offend.
If the people of the world rise up and attack it, not to mention his regent palace, I am afraid that this Great Yan Dynasty will also be in danger.
Liang Yiru deliberately let several regent palace attendants go to the palace, but everyone pointed the finger at Jing Ming in the crowd, which shows that there is no reason to admit mistakes.
On the surface, it was Liang Yiru's careful questioning to prevent omissions, but in fact, it made Jing Ming suffer a dark loss.
And Jingming really can't take out the token.
If the token is lost, it is equivalent to acquiescing in this case, and Jing Ming is the suspect.
"Your Majesty, you are unjust." Jing Ming kowtowed.
Treading Xue looked at several women around her, and suddenly a woman stood up and scolded angrily at Dongfang Yue, "I know that I am a common person, and I can't fight your Regent's Mansion." But people are watching the heavens, and God will let you be punished. Me and those sisters who died tragically, I won't let you go! ”
When it was too late, she suddenly rushed straight towards the carved dragon jade pillar, and blood splattered in an instant. The hundred officials panicked, and the scene was chaotic in an instant.
The guards rushed into the Jinluan Palace, shouting, "Help! Protect the Emperor! Protect the king! ”
The woman's body slowly slid to the ground, blood gushing from her forehead.
On the Jinluan Palace, he died by touching the pillar, which shows chastity!
The guard quickly stepped forward, probed the carotid artery, and looked up in amazement, "Your Majesty, the person is dead." ”
Zhao Lu's eyes widened in horror, "What? Dead, dead? ”
