Chapter 256 (+2) The Scourge of the Twelve Signs of Qingyi III

Zhong Yu bowed his head, retreated into the screen, sat on the ground in front of my couch, and leaned his head close to me in a voice that could not be heard outside the screen: "Your Majesty, please pay attention." ”

"I still need you to teach?" I also whispered.

Zhong Yu smiled lowly, "Yes, Zhong Yu has a lot of mouth, Your Majesty forgives you." ”

Yanyu glanced at Lei Nian, Lei Nian got up, paced to Zhong Yu's seat and sat down, and said in a cold voice: "Qingchuan confessed to conspiring with half of the Twelve Palaces to commit assassination, in order to ensure that the conspiracy does not repent, you also signed a secret murder edict written by Haoyuan himself. ”

Isn't that a problem? I was confused, but the zodiac began to reply in a hurry.

I only had time to see Qingchuan reply, "It's true." ”

The long dye beside him was stunned and said, "What? Qingchuan, did you sign that kind of thing? ”

Then there was Bai Zhan's swearing with all the firepower: "Who the signed that thing and affected me?!" Did you sign me on?! Yes??!! ”

Among them, Ling Xiao's roar attracted me again, and he said angrily: "I haven't seen it, where did the secret killing edict come from?!" Qingchuan, are you talking nonsense??!! ”

I frowned and saw the timid and cowardly Yin Xuan echoing Ling Xiao and said, "There is no such ...... Qingchuan ...... Why are you? ”

Yin Nuan next to him widened his eyes and bumped into Yin Xuan, Yin Xuan immediately shut up, Yin Nuan looked extremely stunned, and it seemed that I couldn't hear what Yin Xuan said.

The other people's reactions were also in an instant, and I couldn't see it clearly, so I asked Zhong Yu in a low voice, "How many people doubt the existence of the secret killing edict?" ”

Zhong Yu said: "Ling Xiao, Yin Xuan, and Chu Yue question the existence of the secret killing edict; Wei Feng, Zuo Xia, Jing Ting, Fang Ji, and Yin Nuan did not reply. ”

Outside, Lei Nian asked again, and he said, "The four people who didn't reply, are you dumb?" ”

Wei Feng immediately bowed his head respectfully and said, "Lord Wang, I don't know Haoyuan!" ”

Zuo Xia also said: "Yes, Lord Wang, I don't know him either!" And the prince didn't ask questions! ”

Fang Ji was originally a person with no sense of existence, and when the two of them finished replying, Fang Ji said: "Back to the prince, Fang Ji is also waiting for the prince to ask." ”

Jing Ting, a gloomy and lifeless man, opened his dark eyes and said in a low voice: "I don't know what to answer, if the prince asks whether to sign or not, I haven't signed, and I haven't seen it." I hesitated because I was slow to react, and after reacting, I couldn't believe that Ling Xiao would be an accomplice to the assassination, so I was surprised and forgot to answer. ”

"What do you say???!!! Respectfully! Where have I offended you, you are going to frame me! "Ling Xiao has exploded on the spot.

Jing Ting sneered and said: "Then you said that Qingchuan lied, and the prince of the secret assassination said that there was, you said no, how do you know if there is?" How do you know that Qingchuan lied and didn't lie? Who gave you the confidence to question the prince? ”

"Because I haven't seen it!" Ling Xiao roared as a matter of course.

Jing Ting said: "If you haven't seen it, you won't think you don't have it, unless you know something." You've always been stupid, I didn't expect you to be so stupid. No one can save you this time, you can confess your guilt yourself, maybe the prince can spare your life. ”

"I ......" Ling Xiao was speechless by Jing Ting's words.

Yan Yu said: "Come on, take Bai Zhan and Chu Xun down and detain them separately." ”

"Huh?? Rajah! I really didn't do anything!! Bai Zhan wailed and was dragged out by the jailer.

Chu Xun stood up by himself, glanced at Yanyu silently, and walked out with the jailer aggrieved.

Even if Lei Nian said that he was dumb, Yin Nuan, who was silent, walked out on his knees at this time, and kowtowed to Yanyu and Lei Nian: "The reason why Yin Xuan knows that there is no secret killing edict is because there is a sentence in the secret letter written by Hao Yuan, and Hao Yuan said that we should wait for the opportunity to act as soon as possible. ”

Lei Nian said: "You guys? ”

Yin Nuan kowtowed again, this time his head knocked on the ground and did not raise it, he said: "Yin Xuan and I both received Haoyuan's secret order, Yin Xuan burned the letter, I kept the letter and thought about reporting to the two princes, but I didn't expect Qingchuan to assassinate so soon." Yin Nuan Yin Xuan did not report in time, begging the prince to forgive him! ”

Lei Nian looked at Yan Yu, and Yan Yu said, "Where is the faith?" ”

Yin Nuan said: "Hidden in Yin Nuan's belt." ”

After saying that, he raised his head, and the jailer went to untie Yin Nuan's hands, Yin Nuan took off his belt and tore it, and took out the letter paper folded into a small square.

The jailer presented the letter paper, read it, and said, "Take them down and detain them separately." ”

Zhong Yu approached again and whispered to me, "The Yin brothers are a pair of orphans, and Hao Yuan has nothing in his hands to blackmail them. If he had received a secret order to report it immediately, he would have been faithful, but this delay would be—"

I said, "You can't use it anymore, but you don't sin unto death, do you?" ”

Zhong Yu said: "Then it depends on how to convict, if you deceive the king, you will definitely die, if the crime is not as good as the deception, then it is better to say, if you are imprisoned for a few years, even if you can't enter the Qingyi Guard again, maybe you can do something else to make a living, and you can always get by." ”

I waved my hand and said, "These two sentences are lighter." ”

"Your Majesty wants me to bend the law for personal gain?" Zhong Yu raised his eyebrows and teased.

I said, "You can be punished for privately detaining your three elder brothers in the prison of the Criminal Department?" ”

Zhong Yu coughed lightly, "Cough, Yin Nuan Yin Xuan will be locked up for three or five years at most, Your Majesty can rest assured, I will arrange a bright cell for them and show them the way." ”

Do the math, even if it is a light sentence of three or five years, they will be nearly thirty years old when they are released. I couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Zhong Yu said again: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will accept the punishment immediately after the matter of the Twelve Palaces is clarified." Now the penalty will be received immediately, and this matter will be delayed again. ”

I sigh for this? However, Zhong Yu just remembered the punishment he should receive, so as not to delay it until the end, so that everyone would think that I was biased against Zhong Yu. Although I am actually partial, I can't give people a handle to say no.

I added: "Yin Nuan Yin Xuan has no intention of bullying the king, this kind of thing is too testing human nature, and human nature is too complicated, and it is too harsh to ask him to report immediately after he gets a secret order." ”

Zhong Yu said with a smile: "Jun Du said that he didn't deceive the king, that is, he didn't deceive, this matter is indeed based on His Majesty's will, but the three-five year sentence really cannot be reduced, and the sentence of the Criminal Department is a few years." ”

I said, "I know that you are principled and measured, and I can rest assured." ”

After speaking, looking at the front, Yin Nuan and Yin Xuan have already pleaded guilty and been taken away, Chu Xun has just made up the number of people and has been taken away, Bai Zhan is a brain-dead He has been preliminarily cleared of suspicion and does not know, he has also been taken away, but he has been taken away, Bai Zhan still has to continue to investigate, what kind of road he is, he can't make up his mind yet. There must be something wrong with Ling Xiao, but whether he has any plans to assassinate him will have to be retried and taken away.
