"Yin Guard, since you admit that this letter was written by you, why do you still insist that you are innocent and did not collaborate with the enemy and treason?"
"On this letter, it is clearly written that you are colluding with Nanzhao to be a spy."
Yin Huan's voice made it impossible to hear emotions. Yin Huan asked like this, but he felt that he had fallen into Yin Mingtai's trap, and was arranged by Yin Mingtai like a fool, and according to his rhythm, he walked into the pit that Yin Mingtai dug for himself step by step.
Yin Mingtai didn't explain directly, but said a puzzling sentence: "Mingtai is bold, please ask the emperor to bring fire and light this letter." β
When Yin Huan heard Yin Mingtai's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then the past quickly came up and filled his mind, and the incident that happened twenty years ago was still vivid.
I lit the letter with fire, and I planted it in the hands of the same thing twenty years ago and today.
Yin Huan knew that today's Yin Mingtai could indeed prove his innocence, and in a way that he didn't want to see, he reminded him that Yin Huan was defeated by Yin Zhu's subordinates twenty years ago, and today, twenty years later, he is still his Yin Zhu's defeated subordinates!
Yin Huan's gaze became gloomy and compassionate, and he was silent for a long time, and he didn't let people go to the fire.
Shen Muzhi spoke up and said, "Guard Yin, what do you mean?" Do you think that by burning this letter, the evidence of your collaboration with the enemy and treason will disappear, and you will be cleared of the crime? β
"Dignified Yin Mansion, is this going to be played in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?"
When Yin Zhu heard Shen Muzhi's words, he immediately retorted and said, "Lord Shen, when did our Yin Mansion say that it was to destroy the evidence?" β
"If this letter is lit, we really destroy this evidence as you said, and I, Prince Yin, swear in front of the civil and military officials of this Manchu Dynasty that if this letter is burned, I, Yin Zhu, will resign and become a common man, and Yin Mingtai will be disposed of by the emperor!"
When the ministers heard that Yin Zhu had sworn that if the letter was burned, he would resign and apologize, and they all wondered what kind of medicine was sold in Prince Yin's gourd. This letter is just a piece of paper, and it will naturally be destroyed at one point when it encounters fire, what gave this Prince Yin the courage to boast about Haikou?
The ministers were slandering in their hearts again, this Prince Yin didn't look crazy, could he really be like a trick and let this letter be burned without destroying it?
In this world, can such a miracle really happen?
Yin Jiuyue was also surprised by Yin Mingtai's request to burn this letter with fire, she originally thought that the letter submitted by Shen Muzhi should have been "secretly exchanged" by herself, but she didn't expect it to be the one that Shen Muzhi handed over to her that day, and Yin Mingtai also bluntly admitted that this letter was written by him.
After Yin Mingtai proposed to burn the letter with fire and something that sounded absurd and unbelievable, his father seemed to have prepared it in advance, and even swore an oath to resign as a guarantee.
At this time, even Yin Jiuyue, like the ministers below, became curious, and couldn't wait to know what would happen next, and what would happen after the letter was burned.
Yin Zhu turned to Yin Huan and asked, "Please also ask the emperor to take this letter and burn it, and Weichen will take this black gauze hat on his head as a guarantee." β
Yin Huan stared at Yin Zhu, smiled coldly in his heart, and even thought that Yin Zhu's emphasis on the black gauze hat on his head at this time was to remind himself that twenty years ago, Yin Zhu should have ascended to the throne, and he, Yin Huan, should have been a prince!
Yin Zhu's voice did not show any anger, and said, "Come on, take fire." β
Yin Huan forgot that Li Gao had already been dragged down by him to play ten boards, and he was not by his side at this time, so naturally no one would give him the task of running errands such as making fire.
"Lord Zhang! You smoke a cigarette so much that you take out what you lit and light this letter! Yin Huan calmed his voice again, and ordered Lord Zhang by name.
The smoker Zhang secretly said in his heart that he was unlucky, didn't he usually like to smoke a lot, wasn't he a smoker! Why was he so unlucky to be pulled out by the emperor to do something that might offend the emperor.
Master Zhang has an intuition, although he listened to the emperor's orders, but the emperor is very likely to be angry, and he will be angry if he doesn't get it right.
Thinking so, of course Master Zhang didn't dare to disobey the order, so he could only take small steps in front of Yin Huan, tremblingly took out a fire fold from the clothes on his chest, and then trembled with his hands and raised the fire fold in front of Yin Huan.
Yin Huan did not take the fire fold in Lord Zhang's hand, but coldly instructed Lord Zhang, "Go and order the letter in the hand of the Yin guard." β
Lord Zhang secretly said in his heart that he was really unlucky today, why did this ignition of the fire also spread on himself, didn't this deepen the emperor's impression of himself again! In the future, if the emperor thinks of today's incident, Long Yan is furious and can't move Prince Yin, maybe he will think of his old face, and he can't provoke Prince Yin, can't he provoke his old bones? Then the emperor will be angry with himself, and he can punish himself for any reason.
Obviously, this adult's imagination is relatively rich, in fact, Yin Huan has no energy to be angry with him at this time, Yin Huan is only thinking about Yin Mingtai's crime today, and how to kill Prince Yin's family in the future.
Mr. Zhang walked to Yin Mingtai's side, Yin Mingtai handed the letter in his hand to Mr. Zhang, who took the letter with a trembling hand, picked up the fire fold and wanted to light the fire, but his trembling hands could not light the fire.
Yin Huan's cold voice came: "Lord Zhang's usual action of lighting a cigarette is not very neat, don't hurry up!" β
Lord Zhang was shocked by Yin Huan's words, ruthless, plucked up courage, and lit the fire in his hand at once.
The flames jumped up from the fire fold with a "pop", Yin Huan stared at the flame on the fire fold first suddenly expanded, and then gradually stabilized, and the emotions in his eyes were obscure.
Master Zhang cautiously placed the lit fire fold close to the letter in his hand, and cast an inquiring look at Yin Huan, wanting to confirm whether he really wanted to ignite the letter.
What got was Yin Huan's cold "point".
Master Zhang closed his eyes, not daring to look, and let the fire on the fire fold lick a corner of the letter.
As soon as the letter came into contact with the fire, it exploded, and the whole paper burst into flames.
Before Master Zhang could open his eyes, his fingertips were the first to feel a sharp pain from the fire. Master Zhang reflexively threw away the letter that made him feel burning pain, let out a painful "ah" in his mouth, opened his eyes in horror, and looked at the burning letter that he had thrown to the ground.
The paper was ignited by the fire, and it should have taken some time for the flames to spread and engulf the paper.
For the first time today, the ministers saw this fire, and the whole sheet of paper burned violently. I couldn't help but widen my eyes in surprise.
Yin Jiuyue also saw this scene for the first time, and the surprise in her heart was no less than that of the ministers.
The sight of burning was not like a simple letter, but like a piece of paper that had just been soaked in flammable liquor.
Yin Jiuyue looked at her father, and then at Yin Mingtai, the expressions of the two were normal, and there was nothing surprised.
Yin Jiuyue couldn't help but feel a little jealous in her heart, didn't her father usually nag Yin Mingtai to snatch himself from him, who was a father, why was there something that only the two of them knew about now, and she, as a daughter and fiancΓ©e, was kept in the dark?
Yin Jiuyue looked at Shen Muzhi again, and saw the surprise in Shen Muzhi's eyes, although this surprise was not obvious, but it showed that Shen Muzhi, like her, didn't know what would happen after lighting this letter with fire.
Yin Jiuyue couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Shen Muzhi's reaction, what's going on? She also thought that since Shen Muzhi and Yin Mingtai had joined forces to cooperate, Shen Muzhi must have known all the links and everything in advance.
Yin Jiuyue couldn't make sense of it, so she stopped looking at Shen Muzhi, and turned to look at Yin Huan, but she was even more surprised to see Yin Huan's calm and unfathomable expression, as if she had known that this letter was burning.
Yin Jiuyue didn't know what was going on at all, so she could only continue to wait and see.
