Teng Bin pursed his mouth tightly and said nothing.

His Majesty the Emperor stared at Teng Bin for a moment and asked, "Did you torture Xie Jiulang?" The tone was low, and I couldn't hear the joy or anger. Teng Bin couldn't figure out what His Majesty the Emperor wanted, but he still replied honestly: "Returning to Your Majesty, it is not a torture, it is just a three-five beating." As he spoke, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

His Majesty the Emperor sighed in a low voice, and did not hold on to Teng Bin, but changed his words and said, "Jixian Hall and Mr. Qiu will go with you by Tian Zhen." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Teng Bin saw that His Majesty the Emperor did not blame, and he had a bottom in his heart. He lifted his eyelids and glanced at Yang Xiangye, and said, "Your Majesty, if Yang Xiangye can be a witness, it would be great." ”

Yang Xiangye pouted his beard under his chin, and wanted to tell His Majesty the Emperor that he didn't want to make peace, but before he could open his mouth, His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said: "Yang Xiangye is very concerned about this case, and it would be better for him to help him." ”

His Majesty the Emperor blocked Yang Xiangye's mouth with a word. Yang Xiangye's mouth opened and closed, and he said: "The minister obeys the order." He was angry with Teng Bin, but now he thought about it and looked at it, with him, Teng Bin didn't dare to play tricks. However, Yang Xiangye was a little unsure of His Majesty the Emperor's intentions. He pondered that he would go to the Marquis of Dingyuan to sum it up later. Now in this environment, only the two of them are busy for Xie Jiulang. Yang Xiangye couldn't help but feel close to Wei Baohu.

Teng Bin determined that Xie Jiulang was guilty, and he proposed to let Yang Xiangye testify, in fact, so that Yang Xiangye could see Xie Jiulang as a person.

Yang Xiangye and Teng Bin each have their own plans.

After Teng Bin finished playing to His Majesty the Emperor, he went to Jixian Hall with Tian Zhen to find Dr. Cong.

As soon as the two of them left, Yang Xiangye's eyes immediately filled with sadness, "Your Majesty, now that the price of rice in Kyoto is rising, the 100,000 stone grain transferred from Fuyi Cang will arrive in Kyoto in a few days, and Fang Shilang can also breathe a sigh of relief." ”

It's just a breath of relief, but it hasn't cured the symptoms and the root cause.

"Your Majesty, can the officials who returned to Luocang, Luokoucang, and Hanjiacang move?" Yang Xiangye couldn't hold it back.

His Majesty the Emperor suddenly looked solemn.

"Wait a little longer."

"Your Majesty, are you waiting?" Yang Xiangye was anxious. Now that he has won Liu Weifeng, he can attribute the framing of Xie Jiulang to Liu Weifeng. Anyway, if there are more lice, it doesn't itch. Liu Weifeng taking on one more charge doesn't make much difference to him.

"In case the grass startles the snake...... His Majesty the Emperor showed a hint of worry between his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, right now, not only Liu Weifeng is blocking the way of King Jin, but even Huo Xunmei is recruiting available people for King Xiang. Huo Xunmei and Liu Weifeng are both literary and martial, and they can't help but guard against it. Yang Xiangye was earnest.

His Majesty the Emperor frowned and remained silent.

Recently, Huo Xunmei's jumping up and down has also attracted the attention of His Majesty the Emperor. He thought that Huo Xunmei and King Xiang couldn't set off the wind and waves, no matter how foolish they were. Yang Xiangye's "one article and one martial arts" brought out His Majesty the Emperor's previous hatred and disgust for Huo Xunmei.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was silent, Yang Xiangye pursed his lips and continued: "The minister and His Majesty have been of the same mind from beginning to end, for the past few days, the minister has been sleeping and eating for His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and the minister is afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Jin will be wronged, and the minister ......" Speaking of this, Yang Xiangye choked slightly, "The minister is bitter in his heart, Your Majesty!" ”

Huh? Why are your eyes red when you talk about it? His Majesty the Emperor hurriedly comforted: "Yang Aiqing, I know that you are loyal to Liuli......"

"No, no! The minister is loyal to His Majesty. It is the so-called food king's Lu and the king's worries. His Royal Highness the King of Jin is generous and kind, if His Royal Highness inherits His Majesty's country, he will definitely put the well-being of the people first in everything, and the Southern Qi will also prosper because of this. On the other hand, King Xiang is not clear about people. not only obeyed Huo Xun's beautiful words, but some time ago, he even wanted to worship Huo Xunmei's disciples. It's really laughable. ”

Yang Xiangye said and shook his head.

His Majesty the Emperor bowed his head and was silent. All the sober-minded courtiers in the court have a lot of complaints about King Xiang. Investigate Qingyuan, Yang Xiangye, and Wei Baohu, who openly tried to protect Xie Jiulang, no more, no less, it is only for the sake of King Jin that he will show his attitude in this way.

"Yang Aiqing, don't worry. Whether it's Huo Xunmei or Liu Weifeng, they can't shake Liuli's status after all......"

"Your Majesty, you care for His Royal Highness King Jin. How many people in the court really care about His Royal Highness King Jin? Isn't Huo Xunmei taking advantage of this to separate King Jin's relationship with you? ”

His Majesty the Emperor smiled contemptuously, "How can I be at the mercy of Huo Xunmei?" ”

"Teng Shangshu has a close relationship with that Huo Xunmei, has Your Majesty heard of it?"

As soon as Yang Xiangye's words fell, displeasure appeared in His Majesty the Emperor's eyes.

"Your Majesty, Teng Shangshu is fundamentally prejudiced against Xie Jiulang. That's why I've made it difficult again and again. Your Majesty, the minister narrowly thinks that Teng Shangshu is dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the King of Jin when he makes things difficult for Xie Jiulang. ”

Yang Xiangye put on a protective look. The meaning is very obvious, he is not simply supporting Xie Jiulang, but supporting King Jin. And Teng Shangshu threw himself to King Xiang, and everything was done with King Xiang first.

His Majesty the Emperor heard the deep meaning of Yang Xiangye's words, he squinted his eyes, and said lightly, "Teng Qing's family is not confused. ”

"Your Majesty, Dr. Yuan checked the handwriting and said that the letter was forged. Why did Teng Shangshu have to let Dr. Cong and Mr. Qiu test again, he made it clear that he couldn't trust Yin Na. ”

Before the words fell, His Majesty the Emperor's eyes dimmed. If it weren't for Yang Xiangye's explanation, His Majesty the Emperor would have thought that Teng Bin was rigorous in handling the case, but he didn't think that Huo Xunmei would be messing with the water here.

"However, real gold is not afraid of fire. Even if Teng Shangshu compares with 110,000 people, the result is the same. Yang Xiangye was full of anger and showed 120,000 confidence.

"What does Yang Aiqing mean that Teng Bin and Huo Xunmei have given each other privately?" This matter can be big or small, if this is the case, Teng Bin can return to his hometown is a decent ending.

"Your Majesty, the minister has no empirical evidence, so he can't assert that Teng Shangshu and Huo Xunmei have any dealings that they can't say to others. But ......" Yang Xiangye paused for a moment and said, "However, the minister always feels that Teng Shangshu seems to have a personal grudge against Xie Jiulang. Take him beating Xie Jiulang with a stick, but in fact, there is no need to beat him at all. The Xie Mansion had already been copied, but no evidence was found to prove that Xie Jiulang was Higashiya Hosakusa. Besides, Xie Jiulang was still young in Kyoto, and there were only a few people who interacted with him. The news he can find out is not as much as that of the slaves and maids in the palace. Even if he wanted to be a meticulous worker, he was not qualified. ”

His Majesty the Emperor bowed his head slightly.

"In this way, Xie Jiulang is innocent, and Teng Qing's family has become sinners?" His Majesty the Emperor looked at Yang Xiangye with a smile and asked.

"Your Majesty, that's not what the minister meant."

Even if Yang Xiangye meant that, he couldn't admit it clearly.

His Majesty the Emperor smiled lightly and said to himself: "It's getting more and more interesting." ”

Xie Jiulang was imprisoned, which actually made His Majesty the Emperor see the many attitudes of the courtiers. It's not just fun, it's wonderful.
