Chapter 49 The law does not hold the public accountable

Rong Changjin was lying on the bed, except that his expression was still a little sluggish, everything had returned to normal. After listening to Su Yuqi's words, he was confused, "Su Qing, what happened?" ”

"The emperor is not sick, but has been poisoned. Fortunately, a folk master saved the emperor, otherwise, now the emperor's mind has been controlled, and he doesn't even know who he is. ”

Su Yuqi's tone was indifferent and ordinary, and there was even a trace of coldness oozing out, and Rong Chang Jinguang was already trembling when he listened to the voice.

"Yes...... Who is so bold! How dare you harm me! ”

Rong Changjin trembled, and he didn't know if he was frightened or angry.

Su Yuqi exhaled and said, "Who is going to harm the emperor, and the minister also wants to know." Come on, Xuan Lintong. ”

Su Yuqi raised her voice.

Lin Tongda came in from the outside, looking quite nervous, and knelt down and kowtowed when he entered the door, "Weichen meets the emperor and the prince of Qi." ”

Although he is in charge of the affairs of the royal family, the opportunity for this deputy sect to face the saint is very rare, and entering the emperor's dormitory is also the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair, and it is naturally inevitable that she will be nervous.

Rong Changjin said in a deep voice: "You get up and speak." ”

Lin Tong stood up, still a little trembling, but his speech was quite organized: "Weichen Emperor Xie, Prince Xie Qi." ”

Su Yuqi was very disgusted that he had to bring out his name when he returned, and frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything to blame.

"But you're in charge of the palace search?"

Su Yuqi stood in front of the bed, looking at Lin Tong with a serious tone.

"The words of the prince of Huiqi are investigated by Weichen."

"Tell the emperor about the results you have found."

"Yes." Lin Tong's face was serious, "Weichen checked all the palace maids, eunuchs, guards, imperial doctors, officials, etc. in the palace overnight, a total of 6,814 people, of which, 205 people have official positions, 102 people who are proficient in the art of Qihuang, 51 people who are from the ancestral Sichuan, 78 people who have lived in the river, 1,200 people who believe in Taoism, 3,000 people who believe in Buddhism, and 15 people who know Gu art. Waiting for the Emperor and your lordships to dispose of it. ”

Su Yuqi asked, "How many people are suspicious?" ”

Lin Tong replied: "Actually, even those fifteen people who know Gu art have evidence that they can't do it. ”

"In other words, that is, no suspicious person has been found in the palace?" Su Yuqi's eyes burst out with an extremely cold light.

Lin Tong was frightened, but he still had the courage to say, "That's the case, Lord Wang." ”

Su Yuqi turned his head to face Rong Changjin, saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Lin Tong's words?" ”

"What do you think?" Rong Changjin still looked ignorant, as if he didn't understand what Lin Tong was saying from beginning to end.

Su Yuqi looked at Rong Changjin cautiously, and his words added a little caution: "The minister said, what do you think about your Gu poison?" ”

"Poison? I don't remember anything, I was in a trance like falling asleep, I had a big dream, and I woke up so tired and paralyzed, as for the Gu poison you said, I don't know at all. Rong Changjin said.

Su Yuqi thought for a while before he said: "Although you don't remember anything, Your Majesty, the Gu poison thing really happened, Your Majesty, you might as well try to remember what strange feelings you had in your body before, or what suspicious people around you had done anything suspicious." ”

Su Yuqi was completely tentatively asking, the little emperor looked very confused, if that sentence was not said well, and he was provoked to make a sick again, wouldn't it be worth the loss?

"I can't remember." Rong Changjin suddenly covered his head, looking like he had a headache.

Su Yuqi hurriedly said: "If you can't think of it, don't think about it, Your Majesty, your dragon body is important." ”

Rong Changjin slowed down for a while before he said, "I really can't think of it." Su Qing and Deputy Zongzheng Lin didn't find any clues, do you think there is any misunderstanding here? ”

Su Yuqi said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, no matter what this matter is, the ministers will find out." If anyone dares to harm you, he will be crushed to ashes! ”

Although he said harsh words on his lips, he had already thought too much about it in his heart. I don't know if it's because I'm too suspicious, but the emperor's attitude looks like he doesn't intend to get to the bottom of it. If that's the case, then this is a ...... But it's a lot more complicated.

While thinking, he beckoned to the eunuchs: "Come on, bring the emperor's breakfast." ”

On the other hand, he instructed Lin Tong: "Deputy Zongzheng, go down too, you can check again, how many of these people are from the Republic of Mao, or they have lived in the Republic of Mao." Double-check again to see if there are any people who know Gu art that have been missed. ”

"Yes." Although I don't quite understand why Su Yuqi wanted to check the clue of Mao Minguo, but the boss has an order, don't dare to disobey, Lin Tong, who was about to collapse from exhaustion after a hard night's work, still agreed very happily.

Rong Changjin, who was lying on the bed, didn't understand Su Yuqi's intentions, and asked, "Su Qing, why do you suddenly want to investigate the people of the Mao Republic of China?" In this palace, there won't be a fine work of the Mao Republic of China, right? ”

"The emperor doesn't know that the origin of this Gu poison is in the Mao Republic of China. The minister only heard about it yesterday. It's not just Kawashang who raises Gu, Mao also raises Gu in the Republic of Mao, and Kawashang's Gu technique was still introduced by Mao Minguo. ”

Rong Changjin was shocked and looked at Su Yuqi in amazement, "What Su Qing said, is everything true?" ”

The minister assured the emperor that what the minister said was true. Your Majesty, this matter cannot but be thoroughly investigated, if it is true that the Republic of Mao sent a detailed work to our Yushi Palace, wouldn't you be in extreme danger? ”

Rong Changjin's face was extremely pale, and he spoke slowly: "What you said is true." Then I will bother Su Qing, I must find out the suspicious people hidden by my side! ”

"Obey."

Su Yuqi's heart sank. The more the emperor is like this, the more it shows that there is an article here.

But what kind of article will it be? Is the emperor shielding criminals?

No way. It was the emperor who was poisoned, and he was the one who was the least likely to shield the criminals. Even if the criminal is a person close to the emperor, and he commits such a serious crime, the emperor will not protect him.

Moreover, if the emperor knew who was going to harm him, how could he not fortify in advance? Although he is young, the city government is also very deep, and he is by no means as simple as Xiaobai on the surface.

Unless...... Su Yuqi didn't dare to think further. It happened that the eunuch had set up breakfast, carried it over with a small square table, and rested it in front of the bed, Su Yuqi leaned forward, helped Rong Changjin sit up, and said, "Your Majesty, you can get up and have breakfast." ”

Although the little emperor's body is still weak, it is still no problem to get up and eat. Su Yuqi personally served the porridge, took a spoon and put a spoonful, tried it, put it on the table, and tried the dishes on the table one by one, before greeting Rong Changjin: "Your Majesty, please eat." ”

Rong Changjin watched Su Yuqi taste them one by one, and his heart was inexplicably moved, "Su Qing, leave these things to the eunuchs to do, why do you ...... it?"

"It's a coincidence today, it's a great honor for the minister to serve the emperor for dinner."

Although the food was not necessarily poisonous again, Su Yuqi was still more careful, and instructed the eunuchs and palace maids: "In the future, the things that the emperor imports, whether it is refreshments or meals, must be tried one by one before they can be given to the emperor again." If there is a next time, you will have a hundred heads, and it will not be enough to cut off! ”

A group of people only promised, kneeling on the ground should be "yes", Su Yuqi's face was serious, "And do your duty first, and punish the matter until the emperor finishes breakfast." ”

The emperor was poisoned in his palace, no matter whether the murderer was found or not, the palace and the whole palace had an unshirkable responsibility, and this punishment was inevitable.

Especially Su Yuqi has always been an official with clear rewards and punishments.

The little emperor hastily finished his breakfast, ordered the table to be removed, washed, and lay back on the bed.

"Your Majesty, do you have the energy to deal with these dereliction of duty now?" Su Yuqi saw that he had settled down, so he asked.

"Such a trivial matter, Su Qing should deal with it carefully."

What does it matter who handles such a trivial matter? If it was a big deal, Su Yuqi might not be willing to let herself deal with it alone. The little emperor thought.

What the little emperor was thinking in his heart, Su Yuqi was naturally like a mirror. But it's not easy to poke, so I can only follow the emperor's wishes and say "good".

At that moment, he instructed Yufu's father-in-law: "Gather all the people involved and gather in the open space in front of the dormitory." ”

Half an hour later, Yufu returned to the emperor's dormitory breathlessly, and replied: "Your Majesty, Lord Qi, everyone has been gathered and is waiting in front of the palace." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers will come when they go, you can rest first."

Su Yuqi retreated and walked outside the hall.

In the open space outside the dormitory, there were people standing all over the ground, the palace maids and eunuchs standing behind, and the stewards standing in front, all of them in a dejected posture of listening to the training with their heads drooped.

Su Yuqi stood still a foot away from everyone, stood with his hands in his hands, his face was solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Originally, you are not under the control of this king, and the affairs of the palace are not under the control of this king, but it is a matter of the emperor's safety, and the king of Dongqing is not here, and this king has to act on behalf of Uncle Dongqing to exercise his rights." ”

The crowd fell to their knees one by one, and then there was silence, and no one dared to make a noise, not even to come out.

"Are you guilty?!" Su Yuqi's voice was as deep as water, and just hearing his voice made people shudder.

"The lower official is guilty."

"Slave convicted."

The voice of the speech was uneven, the urn was angry, and the atmosphere was low and depressing.

Su Yuqi was born in the army and developed a fiery temperament, but he was most disgusted with this kind of procrastination and lack of responsibility, and he was suddenly angry in his heart, and he couldn't help but add three points of cold air when he spoke: "It's good to know the guilt." Dereliction of duty, gross negligence, punishment for crimes, none of you present should be missing! ”

Yufu, who was following behind Su Yuqi, broke out in a cold sweat and muttered in a low voice: "Lord Qi, this ...... All of them? There are thousands of people here! ”

"What? Does Yufu's father-in-law have an opinion on the disposition of this king? ”

Yufu said in fear: "The old slave doesn't dare, that is, he thinks that it is very laborious to deal with so many people." The law does not blame the public. ”
