Chapter 354: Participation

In the early morning of the next day, Qi Yuheng went to the morning court with a net bottle containing Yan Niang's essence and blood. Apex Baiguan waited in the main hall for nearly half an hour before he saw Qi Mufeng trembling on the dragon chair with the support of Xi Liuli and Xu Hai.

Qi Mufeng's body is much weaker than a few days ago, and now it is a little difficult to even stand, his legs tremble, and he can't stabilize his body at all.

It seems that the half of the Pill Spirit Inner Pill that Yue Sixing left him has reached its limit. Qi Mufeng's trembling body was reflected in Xi Liuli's eyes, and his heart hurt,

"Mu Feng, you are not feeling well, otherwise, don't go to court early today, okay?" Xi Liuli leaned close to Qi Mufeng's ear and persuaded softly.

However, how can the position of the emperor be so easy to sit firmly, facing the hundred officials and two sons under the court, Qi Mufeng shook his head and said to Xu Hai: "Xu Hai, let's start." ”

Xu Hai's eyes overflowed, he waved his sleeves in the dust, and shouted loudly to the people under the hall: "The emperor has arrived, go to the court!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" all the officials bowed their heads and bowed, and only got up after Qi Mufeng was exempted.

"Today, is there anything important that needs to be played?" After all, it is the upper court, even if Qi Mufeng's spirit is not good, he has to fight a little stronger, opened his eyes, supported his hands on the armrests, leaned forward and asked His Highness.

The officials looked at each other, and they stopped talking. Qi Yuheng took the lead in stepping forward, raised his hands and bowed to Qi Mufeng and said, "Enlighten your father, your son has something to do." ”

Qi Mufeng hummed slightly, and glanced at Xu Hai, Xu Hai understood, and then said on behalf of Qi Mufeng: "His Royal Highness, what are you doing?"

Qi Yuheng immediately replied: "Erchen has something to participate in, it is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Lord Shen Wei Shen!" His Royal Highness was in an uproar. Qi Musheng looked up at Shen Wei in shock, only to see that his face was also stunned. Then he immediately stepped forward and said to Qi Yuheng: "Brother Emperor, please be cautious! The book of the court officials is not something that can be participated in at will! You said that you want to join Lord Shen, but there is a legitimate reason?"

Shen Weisi is in charge of the Criminal Department, and now it is not easy to sit firmly in the position of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and he has only become Qi Musheng's right-hand man, but today he was suddenly hammered down by Qi Yuheng like this, no matter who it is, he will feel shocked and suspicious.

Qi Mufeng did the same, his eyes cast in the direction of Shen Wei, what is going on? Could it be that Yu Heng, this kid, wants to pull Shen Wei into the water against the cold door?

"Yu Heng, you should tell me why you participated in Shen Qing. Qi Mufeng asked, Qi Yuheng bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Back to my father, last night, I welcomed an uninvited guest in the minister's mansion." As soon as he entered the mansion, he assassinated Erchen, but fortunately, Erchen and Han Fei, the head of the Shen family, made a joint move before they killed him. Father, can you know who this assassin is?" The last word fell, Qi Yuheng raised his head and looked around, seeing that the officials were puzzled, Qi Mufeng was also puzzled, and slowly spoke, word by word: "Yan Niang." ”

"Impossible! That snake demon has already been imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department! There is also a rune paper specially drawn by Shenwu Jun in the cell, just to prevent her from escaping with demon magic!" Kong Wu took the lead and shouted at Qi Yuheng with a righteous face. Recently, he often goes to the Lin family when he has nothing to do, but coincidentally, the young general of the Lin family recently prepared a wedding banquet, and many good friends came to congratulate him, it was at this time that Kong Wu and Shen Wei were familiar with each other, and it happened that Shen Wei in addition to dancing and writing ink, but also liked to study the art of war, and also had some martial arts. Now that his friends are being played in court, how can Kong Wu stand by and watch!

"Master Kong, don't get excited. "Kong Wu has a straightforward temperament, but he is a little irritable. Seeing him roaring in the main hall, Shen Wei turned his head sideways and reminded him lightly.

"Lord Shen......" Kong Wu was upset for Shen Wei, and turned his head to look at him, unabated worry. I saw Shen Wei shaking his head at him, and then gave him a reassuring smile: "The emperor is a saint, whether Shen is guilty or not, presumably the emperor will not misjudge." In a word, it reminded Kong Wu and Qi Yuheng that this is above the palace, and no one is allowed to make a noise.

"Heh! Master Kong is extremely protective of Lord Shen! When did your relationship become so good?" These rude and reckless people and poor people from poor families are also very worthy of each other! Qi Yuheng's eyes were mixed with some disdain.

Kong Wunai is a person from the battlefield, how can he endure such ridicule, take a few steps forward, and make a move. However, in the middle of the walk, a strong force on his body grabbed him, and when he turned around, Lin Xuanzheng looked at him with a solemn expression and said, "Master Kong, don't be impatient." ”

Lin Xuan's words made Kong Wu calm down immediately. As the commander of the Lin family's army and the god of war on the battlefield admired by the entire military department, Kong Wu should be unconditionally obedient to Lin Xuan. With his words, the binding force on Kong Wu must be the highest.

"His Royal Highness the Great Prince, although Lin is not often involved in political affairs, this participation should be convincing only if there is real evidence. You said that this Yan Niang jumped out of the cage, but is there any evidence? You said that Yan Niang stabbed you, is there anyone to witness it?" Lin Xuanzhi's attitude was calm and calm, and his words were clear, which made people have to be convinced.

Facing Lin Xuan, Qi Yuheng also had to give the highest respect, restrained the look in his eyes, and replied politely to Lin Xuan: "General Lin, since this hall dares to say such words in this early dynasty hall, it naturally has sufficient evidence. ”

After the words fell, Qi Yuheng took out the bottle of essence blood from his arms, and presented it to Qi Mufeng with both hands: "Father, the things in this pure bottle should be the evidence of the son-in-law." ”

Qi Mufeng raised his head at the net bottle and motioned for Xu Hai to take it. When he took the pure bottle full of blood from Xu Hai's hand, Qi Mufeng said suspiciously: "Yu Heng, what is in this pure bottle is not blood?"

Qi Yuheng nodded: "What my father said is right, it is indeed essence blood." At this point, he paused, then turned to look at Shen Wei and continued: "This essence blood is from Yan Niang. ”

"Your Royal Highness, with all due respect, blood is found in all living beings in the world. You said that this essence blood belongs to Yan Niang, can you have a certificate?" Yang Ming stepped forward at this time, stood opposite Qi Yuheng, and asked.

Shen Wei is his classmate and friend, and he is the person he personally promoted, so he naturally wants to help him.

Han Fei was really prescient, so he put Yan Niang's crippled soul in the net bottle, just to prevent the current situation.

Qi Yuheng smiled secretly in his heart, and replied: "This snake demon is a member of the demon clan, and after the demon dies, ** turns into nothingness, leaving a pool of blood. And among the bloodstains, there is still half of the soul of the snake demon, if you don't believe it, you can ask the people of the Void Dust Palace to come and verify it. When it came to the Void Dust Palace, Qi Musheng only felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart, his eyes were fixed on Qi Yuheng, and he always felt that he still had a trick waiting for him.

"But Shenwu Jun has already gone to the wasteland to find the Seven Star Grass, and he is not in the capital at all! How can he verify that this pure bottle is Yan Niang's blood?" Yang Ming continued to ask. Qi Yuheng's smile made him feel extremely strange, why he always had a feeling of uneasiness.

I saw Qi Yuheng smile, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the dragon chair: "Lord Yang, don't you forget, in this capital, it's not only the Shenwu Monarch who came out of the Void Dust Palace. The Xi Liuli master behind his father and the Xi Feng Ling girl in the second emperor's brother's mansion are all cultivators of the Void Dust Palace. Presumably, they would be able to discern who this blood belonged to. ”

Xi Liuli frowned, and immediately opened her mouth to Qi Yuheng: "Your Royal Highness, forgive Liuli's words, Liuli's cultivation will not be consumed by identifying the identity of this essence blood!"

"In this way, only the former spirit girl remains. Qi Yuheng met Qi Musheng's eyes and smiled at him.

"Brother Emperor, the former girl is not in this palace now. Everyone also knows that at this palace banquet, King Rongchuan announced in public that the former girl was his princess of Rongchuan, and now, the former girl has already moved out of the second prince's mansion. Seeing Qi Yuheng's confident appearance, Qi Musheng was sure that the essence and blood in the pure bottle should be Yan Niang.

"It doesn't matter. Qi Yuheng waved his hand indifferently and continued: "It's not a problem when this essence blood is tested. It is the matter of the main hall participating in Lord Shen, so it is not a frame-up. Qi Yuheng turned the topic to Shen Wei.

"His Royal Highness the Great Prince. Shen Wei consciously hid behind people, it was not a way, if he didn't say a word, it would attract suspicion and suspicion from others, so he took a step forward, bowed his hand to Qi Yuheng, and said: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince participated in Shen, presumably not just because Yan Niang escaped from the prison of the Criminal Department. Shen Wei was aware in his heart, if the ordinary demon clan fled, Zuo would just capture it, why bother to make trouble in the early dynasty and make such a big fuss. It is Qi Yu who is constant and has not reported it.

Qi Yuheng saw that Shen Wei was not faced, snorted coldly, put his hand down, slowly paced Shen Wei, and said: "If it is just a prisoner who escapes, you only need to arrest the person back and punish your subordinates well, why do you need to go to such great trouble in the main hall and go to the hall to participate!" The last word fell, Qi Yuheng turned back and said to Qi Mufeng: "Father, Lord Shen connived at the officials of the Criminal Department, in order to hide the loss of the fugitive from the Criminal Department, he actually found a woman who looked like him from the people, and let him replace Yan Niang and throw him into prison! Should we let it go like this?"

When Qi Mufeng heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, his eyes swept towards Shen Wei, and he asked sharply: "Shen Qing!

Before Shen Wei could react, he saw Qi Musheng bow his head first, and said to Qi Mufeng urgently: "Father is angry! Lord Shen's conduct, Father is aware of it, he is fair and honest, upright and selfless, how could he do such a thing to hide from the world!"

Qi Mufeng slapped his big hand on the armrest, and his heart was full of anger. How could he not know that Shen Wei was a person, but if this matter was true, even if it was not Shen Wei's doing, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, such a situation occurred under his jurisdiction, as the emperor, how could he spare him!

"Your Majesty! Weichen should be damned!" Shen Wei knelt down on his knees, bowed to the ground, and pleaded guilty to Qi Mufeng.

"Oh, looking at Lord Shen like this, he confessed his guilt quite quickly. Qi Yuheng glanced down at Shen Wei's lowered head, and an inexplicable joy rose in his heart. I didn't expect Shen Wei to kneel down so easily to plead guilty, this seems to be simpler.

"Shen Qing, tell me why you should die. Shen Wei's reaction made Qi Mufeng's heart settle down a little. He was still a little worried, with Shen Wei's upright temperament, if he argued with Qi Yuheng in court, then it would be really difficult for him.

Fortunately, Shen Wei can also be regarded as a person who judges the situation and has a quick mind, even if he softens his attitude, in this way, he just takes advantage of the situation to soften and inquire about things carefully.

After Qi Mufeng's question, Shen Wei raised his body, straightened his back and knelt in front of the hall, raised his head to meet Qi Mufeng's eyes, and replied: "Your Majesty, there are two crimes of Weichen, one of which is the crime of not knowing. As a scholar of the Criminal Department, he is really ashamed that he does not even know about the fact that a criminal has escaped from prison and is replaced by outsiders! Second, as the person in charge of the Criminal Department, he cannot restrain his subordinates, and it is also a dereliction of duty for Weichen to do such things that hurt nature and reason and deceive the monarch! The above two crimes have already made Weichen extremely embarrassed, and Weichen is ashamed of his trust in the emperor and has failed to live up to the emperor's expectations. Please also ask the emperor to condemn the ministers!"

Shen Wei said everything in one seat, so that even if the rest of the officials wanted to add fuel and vinegar, they didn't know where to start.

Qi Yuheng was slightly stunned, he should have underestimated the ability of this poor scholar, so he picked himself cleanly.

Qi Mufeng's face softened a little at this time, and the fierce color in his eyes decreased a lot. After thinking about it for a while, he put down his hand and said to Shen Wei: "Shen Qing, I believe in your innocence for the time being. Now, I want you to find out about this! See if this stealing of beams and changing pillars is true! Then check for me! Find out who this person who transferred the criminals is! I must know who allowed him to do this! Once it is found out! Severely punish him!"

Shen Wei kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you for the emperor's trust!

Qi Yuheng looked at Shen Wei from the side, and secretly sneered in his heart. Shen Wei, just wait, as long as you investigate this case carefully, this palace will definitely want you to never recover!

"Your Highness, Your Highness's expression is different, Yang is afraid that he will be disadvantageous to Brother Shen. Yang Ming was on the side, and said to Qi Musheng in his ear.

Looking at the look in his imperial brother's eyes, Qi Musheng only felt that Shen Wei seemed to be in a fire pit, and he was immediately anxious. I'm afraid that Qi Yuheng's participation in the hall today is just the beginning, and next, Shen Wei doesn't know what kind of situation he will face.

"Father!" At this time, Qi Yuheng spoke to Qi Mufeng again.

"What else is going on?" "Is it true that this eldest son has to set off a storm before he is willing to be willing?" Qi Mufeng only felt a headache, but he still motioned for him to speak.

"This matter is not trivial, and it must not be delayed. If not, the father will give Lord Shen three days, and after three days, we will check the palace, and at that time, you can ask the girl of the former Feng Ling to verify this essence blood on the spot, and Lord Shen can also bring the suspect to the palace, and the father will preside over the trial, what do you think?"

Qi Mufeng hesitated a little, looked at Shen Wei, saw that his face was as usual, got up and said respectfully to Qi Mufeng: "Your Majesty, then follow the proposal of His Royal Highness the Great Prince." ”

Seeing that Shen Wei didn't have any objections, Qi Mufeng stopped being entangled, nodded to the two of them: "Then in three days, the palace will be tried." ”
