Chapter 473: A trick for He Zhen!
"Okay, I'm tired of Qu Ye helping me find a piece of cloth." Wan Dong Road.
"Cloth? What are you going to do with Yaoting? Qu Sanping asked in surprise.
Wan Dong pointed to Zhou Tai's bloody head that rolled to the ground, no one cared about, and said, "Didn't he keep shouting to see He Zhen, I decided to fulfill his most dear wish." β
"What? Yaoting, do you want to give Zhou Tai's head to He Zhen? β
Wan Dong's words really scared Qu Sanping a lot. It's just looking for trouble!
Wan Dong didn't explain, and urged Qu Sanping to find the cloth quickly. Qu Sanping couldn't resist Wan Dong, so he had to find a rag according to his words. Wan Dong casually wrapped Zhou Tai's head in a ball, said goodbye to Qu Sanping, and went straight to the palace.
Wan Dong searched for it, Bai Zhenshan has been ill for a few years, he doesn't know the world, and this time he is back in power, there must be a lot of things to discuss with the civil and military officials, and the court discussion should not be dispersed too early. Sure enough, as Wan Dong expected, when he returned to the palace, he did not disperse. It's just that Luo Xiao and Wang Yangde have already left.
Although they all have official positions, their grades are really not high, and they are not qualified to stand in the court at all, discuss national affairs with the ministers, and retire early, which is also natural. After all, the legal order of the imperial court cannot be wasted.
Although the title of Wan Dong, the young marquis, has not yet spread among the people, in the palace, everyone knows it, and no one knows it. Especially the warriors of Feng Xiangwei worshiped him as a god. All the way into the palace, he was greeted only by respectful eyes from all directions, but there was no obstacle.
Bai Zhenshan, who was discussing state affairs with his ministers, heard that Wandong had gone and returned, so he immediately stopped the discussion and announced that Wandong had entered the palace.
"Yaoting, Qu Sanping is fine, right?" After Wan Dong finished the salute according to the rules, Bai Zhenshan took the initiative to ask. This can be regarded as a gesture that Bai Zhenshan put on to his ministers, as long as it is meritorious, no matter what his identity is, he will keep it in mind.
As soon as Bai Zhenshan asked like this, Wan Dong's face immediately revealed an inexplicable look of grief and indignation, and he said in a low voice, "Although Weichen is in a hurry, he is still a step too slow." β
"What? Could it be that Qu Sanping encountered an accident? Bai Zhenshan's voice was obviously much more severe, and his cold gaze was also frequently directed at He Zhen. Let He Zhen be like a man's back, up and down, cold sweat dripping.
"Your Majesty, the minister swore to the sky, although the minister ordered Zhou Tai to raid Juntian's pawnshop and arrest Qu Sanping, he never let him hurt Qu Sanping!" He Zhen dared to slack off, and hurriedly rushed out to argue for himself.
"Really? But Zhou Tai is your nephew of Lord He, what kind of temper is he, don't you know? Wan Dong glared at He Zhen, looked at Bai Zhenshan and said, "Emperor Qi, Zhou Tai already has a personal vendetta with Qu Sanping, and this person is ruthless and vicious, killing people without blinking, Lord He ordered him to arrest Qu Sanping, which is clearly to put Qu Sanping to death!" β
"You...... You are talking nonsense, you are a bloody spewer! He Zhen shouted excitedly.
"Lord He, if you are not weak-hearted, what are you yelling about? Is it possible, are you still afraid that the emperor will wronged you? Xu Wenchuan glanced at He Zhen and said coldly.
Why did he secretly complain in his heart, this is not how much, the grandparents and grandchildren joined forces?
"Lord Xu, I didn't have the intention to shout, but it was because I was innocent and aggrieved, and it was difficult to suppress the anger in my heart for a while, so I ......"
"Master He doesn't have to explain to me, everyone is not stupid, the truth is clear at a glance!"
"Lord Xu, what do you mean by this?"
Xu Wenchuan snorted coldly, twisted his head to the side, and refused to give He Zhen a chance to explain at all.
Seeing that He Zhen was embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with himself, Bai Zhenshan shook his head slightly, it seemed that he was a little naΓ―ve to use He Zhen's strategy to balance the Xu family.
He Zhen himself also knew that in order to exonerate himself, he betrayed and killed Qiu Wanli, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not despise him. If you want to rely on them to speak for yourself, it is a pipe dream, and the only one who can save him at the moment is the emperor.
So he hurriedly said to Bai Zhenshan: "Your Majesty, the minister really has no intention of killing Qu Sanping!" All of this is Zhou Tai's little brute, acting without permission! Your Majesty, you must trust the ministers and be the masters of the ministers! β
"Humph! Lord He, in order to protect yourself, don't you even want your own nephew? Wan Dong sneered and sneered.
He Zhen said angrily: "Hou Ye Xu! What a certain piece of ice heart, how can others be allowed to slander at will? If my uncompetitive nephew really did something that the law did not allow, I, as a first-class minister, should be righteous and destroy my relatives thanks to the emperor's favor! β
"Good! Lord He, what you said, every adult present heard it clearly, and you must not break your word! β
"Never break your word!" He Zhen replied in a resolute voice.
"Yaoting, was Qu Sanping really killed by Zhou Tai?" Bai Zhenshan opened his mouth and asked.
Wan Dongdao: "Fortunately, I went in time, which saved Qu Sanping's life!" However, Qu Sanping was beaten by Zhou Tai on the street, and he was seriously injured, vomiting blood, and only one breath was left. But several guys from Juntian's pawnshop were beheaded by Zhou Tai on the spot, and blood flowed all over the ground, which can be described as miserable! β
"Is it that serious?" Bai Zhenshan's brows immediately furrowed.
He Zhen's face was also extremely ugly, and he scolded Zhou Tai in his heart. If you want to kill, kill Qu Sanping, what are you doing to kill his men?
"Did Zhou Tai treat those guys as Qu Sanping's comrades, so he killed them on the spot?" He Zhen asked cautiously.
Wan Dong immediately snorted coldly and said, "That Zhou Tai is even more evil!" Qu Sanping is a meritorious minister recognized by the emperor, so his comrades are naturally good citizens who are beneficial to the empire. Zhou Tai killed the good people at will, wouldn't it be like a rebellion? β
"No, no, no! Zhou Tai didn't know that Lu Dao Qu Sanping was actually in Cao Ying, and his heart was in the Han ......."
"I don't know what to do?" Without waiting for He Zhen to finish speaking, Wan Dong shouted loudly, interrupted him, and said angrily, "Can you avoid Zhou Tai's heinous crime with a word of ignorance?" Zhou Tai didn't know that Lu Dao Qu Sanping was a good person, but he knew that there were countless treasures hidden in the Lu Dao Juntian pawnshop, and he knew that Lu Dao Qu Sanping's wife was a rare beauty, which was too unreasonable, right? β
"Yaoting, what do you mean by that?"
Wan Dong replied, "Your Majesty, when I arrived, I happened to see Zhou Tai coercing Qu Sanping to hand over the treasures in Juntian's pawnshop, and even coercing Qu Sanping's wife to do something wrong with him. Qu Sanping refused to accept this great humiliation, so he was beaten in public, so that his life was dying! β
"Brute! It's just a beast that is inferior to pigs and dogs! As soon as Wan Dong's words fell, Hu Jingqi immediately scolded angrily. Hu Jingqi is so jealous and hateful, and it is not strange to have such a move.
In fact, not only Hu Jingqi, but also the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all scolded loudly, and all the spearheads were aimed at Zhou Tai together. If Zhou Tai was here, he was afraid that he would be drowned in angry saliva in minutes.
He Zhen naturally knew that all this was just Wan Dong's one-sided words, and he couldn't fully believe it. But under the anger of the people, he would never dare to say it. Even if he said it, the ministers would not believe it, they would only think that he was defending his nephew, and he would immediately become the target of public criticism.
You must know that Lu Dao, his dirty behavior of betraying the Lord and seeking glory has made many people who don't know how many people in Lu Dao are dissatisfied with him, and once he finds an outlet for catharsis, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Looking at Wan Dong, who looked calm and calm, He Zhen felt annoyed and helpless at the same time. This time, he was eaten by Wan Dong!
"Zhou Tai, he is so unbearable, he is a bastard!" Of course, Bai Zhenshan would not go against the Manchu Dynasty for the sake of a little Zhou Tai, so he said in passing.
"Your Majesty! Such a shameless person not only ruined the emperor's sage, but also a moth to the empire! It should be dealt with seriously! Hu Jingqi said hatefully.
"Behead and abandon the city! Only in this way can we eliminate public anger! As soon as Hu Jingqi's words fell, the minister immediately responded with great anger.
This response was immediately echoed by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and for a while, the shouts of killing resounded throughout the entire council hall.
"Your Majesty, Zhou Tai committed such a crime, it is really the anger of people and gods! Please allow me to personally arrest Zhou Tai, and you will personally ask for the guilt!" He Zhenxin was in a hurry, and took the initiative to come forward and ask for his life.
"Hmph...... Lord He, Zhou Tai is your nephew, you shouldn't bend the law for personal gain, right? Wan Dong did not hide his distrust of He Zhen at all.
"Of course not! The minister is willing to make a military order, if he can't catch Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai is willing to pay for the crime he committed! β
He also has his own abacus in his heart. As long as he can meet with Zhou Tai, he will not worry about not having the opportunity to discuss a set of exculpatory wording with Zhou Tai. When the time comes to Bai Zhenshan, he will argue with reason, not to completely exonerate Zhou Tai, but at least to make the whole thing suspicious. As long as the matter is suspicious and there is no investigation that day, Zhou Tai will not die. As long as Zhou Tai doesn't die, he will always find an opportunity in the future to ensure his freedom!
With such a set of methods back then, He Zhen didn't know how many people Lu Dao exonerated from crimes, he can be said to be experienced!
"Huh...... It is rare that Lord He can be so just, and he is even more willing to kill his relatives in righteousness. But this time, Lord He doesn't have to run. Zhou Tai's crime was heinous, and he was killed by me on the spot. The head has also been brought, please ask the emperor to check it! β
After that, Wan Dong beckoned, and there was a eunuch who held Zhou Tai's head in both hands and walked into the hall quickly. As soon as the cloth was lifted, Zhou Tai's head was really exposed.
"What!?" He Zhen exclaimed in surprise, his body shook suddenly, and he almost fell to the ground.
The ministers were also surprised, but they didn't expect that Zhou Tai had been cut off by Wan Dong. After a while, they all woke up, and they just played a play with others just now, helping others to set a trap for He Zhen.
