Chapter 31: The Ins and Outs of the Great Hall Interrogation
At present, the situation mastered by Jin Xuansi and King Yin can already return to Beijing to resume their lives.
Qian Tianheng seems to be unable to accept that he and King Alcohol have been plotting for many years, and what he got back was to be told the true face of Wu Changning. On the way back to Beijing, he was silent.
Before the news was sent back to Beijing, Shangguan Wan asked Cao Xu to take a few people under His Royal Highness King Yin to Beijing to restore King Alcohol, and promised Cao Xu before leaving: "Your brothers are all good men, but they are working for others and following the wrong master, rest assured that as long as this case is closed, the poison on your body will be lifted." There are so many nobles in Beijing, it is not beneficial to follow them and the king of alcohol, it is better to devote himself to the army and truly establish his own career. If your brother is interested, I can introduce you to the command of Lin Xu, the general of the Zhenguo. ”
Cao Xu just knelt down and thanked him, after the turmoil of the past few days, Cao Xu also knew in his heart that King Alcohol could not wade in troubled waters this time.
Shangguan Wan and King Yin rode horses in front of the team, the sun was hot, and Shangguan Wan couldn't see King Yin's expression clearly in the sun. King Yin said slowly: "The matter dug up by King Alcohol is complicated, in addition to all the old things between the mother emperor and the first emperor, even the matter of Jizhou is related, even if the case is closed, it will not be clean, and the instability behind it is probably very deep." ”
Shangguan Wan only paused: "King Alcohol has aimed artillery at you this time, and His Royal Highness King Ji is also in his calculations, I'm afraid this trap has already been in place." The plan is deep, and the calculation is nothing more than a throne. ”
The king has been following behind, but did not say a word, but at this time he said to the two: "In the royal family, everyone thinks twice before acting, and recently my wife and I have only corresponded that the king of alcohol has been blocked by my wife several times, and I don't know if he will move other thoughts." ”
I worked hard all the way, and I also arrived in Beijing three days later. The news that Shangguan Wan, the secretary of the Jinxuan Division in Beijing, was killed by the assassins has spread far and wide, but it has caused a lot of uproar. This time into the city, it is eye-catching, in order to avoid people's eyes, the two highnesses are wearing the clothes of the Jinxuan Division and walking in the rear.
Entering the palace, Wei Rushi and Ji Heng, the two adults, were already waiting in the palace. Just wait for them to enter the palace today, so that they can explain the truth to the empress in detail. Some time ago, the people of the Jinxuan Division first found Wei Rushi and then united with Ji Heng, checked the affairs of King Cha Alcohol in recent years, combined with the matter of Jizhou Thorn History, interrogated Song Lin and Lin Cong overnight, and finally dug out that King Alcohol and several states exploited the people, and the matter of enclosing land for personal use was actually related, and King Alcohol used the health of their family members who were about to be exiled as a handle, and threatened them not to speak.
And the empress sent Quan Zhongyi, the commander of the forbidden army, to lead people to surround the Jinxuan Division and escort Song Tianwolf and his party into the palace. And let Cao Huanzhi go to King Xuanalcohol to enter the palace.
When King Alcohol entered the palace, he saw that Shangguan Wan in the palace was unharmed, his eyes moved, and he did not speak, but only asked the empress for peace first.
The empress said in a flat tone: "King Alcohol, some time ago, you said that you were involved in the case of the Yun Gang's illegal salt, do you have anything to hide from me?" ”
King Alcohol saw that there was Shangguan Wan in the palace but no one else thought that his plan had succeeded, but he had not gotten rid of Shangguan Wan, so he slowly spoke: "Back to the mother emperor, the case of the Yun Gang smuggling smuggled salt, with the assistance of Lord Su Dusu, the assassin of Dengzhou, has arrested a few people in the Yun Gang and left a confession. As for the close relationship between Yu Xingtian and King Yin, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the involvement. The matter of salt affairs is related to the society of the country. Please also ask the mother to make a quick decision. ”
The empress got up, the glass beads under the phoenix tail hairpin on her head made a jingling sound of jingling bells, she slowly walked down the steps, and said to the alcohol king: "Decide quickly?" How should I judge this case? ”
King Alcohol arched his hand and said: "Naturally, it is a crime as soon as possible"
The empress smiled: "Since the alcohol king Jiangshan Sheji values it so much, let me see how you decide this case." ”
After that, the forbidden army escorted Song Tianwolf, Qian Tianheng, and Lin Cong and Song Lin, who were imprisoned early because of the Jizhou case, to the main hall.
King Alcohol was stunned, but still spoke respectfully: "What does the mother empress mean by this?" ”
The empress was silent, and Shangguan Wan on the side blessed King Alcohol: "Your Royal Highness King Alcohol, fortunately, the official has a great life, and he failed to be buried in Dengzhou, nor did he lose the signboard of Jinxuansi." ”
"Lord Siqing, where is this, you are the henchman of the mother emperor, and you are in charge of the Jinxuan Division, why did you say this to this king, it made this king confused." King Alcohol stared at Shangguan Wan.
Shangguan Wan just walked to Qian Tianheng's side, reached out and pulled off a piece of human skin from his neck, and the face that was originally Su Duan suddenly turned into another one. Shangguan Wan said: "His Royal Highness King Alcohol can take a look, do you know this person?" We have known in Dengzhou that this person has been disguised as Lord Su for many years, and the real Su was killed as soon as possible. ”
The Alcohol King was silent.
"As for our Jinxuan Division's Fang Shi faction, Song Tianwolf, are you familiar with each other?"
King Alcohol met Shangguan Wan and replied, "Lord Shangguan's words, this king can't understand. ”
Shangguan Wan slapped the forbidden army with both hands and put Cao Xu and his brothers on the palace, Shangguan Wan said: "Cao Xu and others, you should be familiar with it, right?" They're working for you. And it is a person from Jizhou, according to my questioning, His Royal Highness went to Jizhou a few years ago, but His Royal Highness's fief is not near Jizhou, let alone handle official business. And a few years ago, Jizhou had a matter of enclosing land for its own use and exploiting the people, and His Royal Highness wanted to return to the lower officials for a coincidence? ”
Before King Alcohol could speak, King Yin and King Yu entered the palace, and behind them were several people who were originally imprisoned in Dengzhou Prison and claimed to be the Yun Gang. These people knew that the Alcohol King wanted their lives, so they vomited the matter away. Also kneeling on the main hall at this moment.
King Yin and King Ji first greeted the empress, and then King Alcohol's eyes stared at King Ji tightly.
But the king spoke first: "King of alcohol, don't come unharmed"
King Alcohol gritted his teeth and said, "The princess's sister-in-law said that the royal brother was sick with the cold, but I believed it. And Cao Xu, how dare you scum trick me into Shangguan Wan being eliminated by you? ”
The empress slowly spoke: "Then this case, you set a trap, King Alcohol, I have underestimated you all these years." ”
The alcohol king knew that he had no way to refute, and his eyes were red and he said to the empress: "Underestimate? Have you ever looked up to others? ”
The empress's voice was much older, but it was low: "You were raised by me since you were a child, why is that?" ”
The King of Alcohol just shouted angrily, "Isn't my mother harmed by you!" And Aunt Changning! Aunt Changning is so good! But you didn't spare her or the child in your womb. ”
King Yin stepped forward and pulled him, only pressed him to make him kneel, took out the confession of the palace people who had served Wu Changning, and threw it on the ground.
"You have been planning these things carefully, so why don't you bother thinking about who is bewitching you? How credulous is it? ”
