Li Qiusheng was close at hand, and suddenly saw a treacherous smile on the corner of Vice Minister Lei's mouth, and he stared at Vice Minister Lei and shouted. "Vice Minister Lei, what are you still snickering at in your heart? Don't you know that it's above the court now? In front of everyone's eyes, how can you be a traitor! ”

Who knew that Vice Minister Lei was so broken by Li Qiusheng, but instead of being timid, he stepped forward and said. "Li Gongzi, do you know something? The queen mother above the court denied her subordinates like this, how could her subordinates be willing to poke her neck. is the so-called arrest of stealing and stealing, catching traitors and arresting doubles, but the queen mother is above the court, just blindly angrily reprimanding her subordinates for not doing this, but there is no real evidence, how do you ask your subordinates to receive this hat of sin in vain in front of all the civil and military forces? ”

"Therefore, His Majesty is still unwilling to endure such groundless accusations from the Queen Mother in public, otherwise, if His Majesty swallows his anger and endures his voice, wouldn't it make the Queen Mother sit on the sin of His Majesty? Such an insult to the ancestors and slander, how can the subordinates bow down! ”

"Ha, ha" After two sneers, the Empress Dowager Liang above the high hall suddenly said in a loud voice, "Vice Minister Lei, you are still bold and reckless in buttoning your hat, and dare to insult the declining family in front of the civil and military officials and frame you?" The declining family asked you to pat your chest and say in front of all the civil and military personnel, did the declining family wronged you and framed you? ”

When the Queen Mother said angrily like this, her eyes already showed a look of extreme disgust. But the Empress Dowager Liang was still trying her best to control her fluctuating feelings, and said slowly. "Vice Minister Lei, let me ask you. As early as the first time, when the great general Li Liangguang returned to the DPRK to exterminate the matter of 'Anle Village', you and King Liang both bombed the general Li Liangguang, and secretly rescued 'Li Qiusheng' and others for 'favoritism', and at that time, the government and the opposition were in an uproar! ”

"At that time, if it weren't for the mediation of Le Xuan, the head of the Criminal Department, I am afraid that even the general Li Liangguang was harmed by the vicious intentions of you, a wolf in human skin, at that time, would the declining family still dare to expect today's 'Li Qiusheng' to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors?"

"Now, you bite back, saying that the declining family has wronged you for your loyalty and righteousness. It can be seen that the heart of a villain like you is clear, and he uses all kinds of vicious schemes! ”

"If the declining family doesn't punish you today, I'm afraid that this government and the opposition will also be made by you to do mischief, and I can't help it."

Vice Minister Lei indifferently listened to the Queen Mother's firm words, and directly set himself among the traitorous villains and criminal ministers, his heart was already turbulent, and his eyes were full of fire. I can't wait to blast the Queen Mother Liang, a high-ranking old woman, down from the highest dragon and stab her a few times. Looking at the Queen Mother Liang's blood flowing all over the ground, rolling all over the ground, howling and screaming, I relieved the hatred in my heart at this time.

Although his heart was full of vicious fantasies and hatred, Vice Minister Lei still pretended to be wronged in vain, and pityfully argued with tears in his eyes. "Queen Mother, although your subordinates have been accused and misunderstood by your old man in vain, your subordinates have to be obedient as courtiers and loyal to the court and society."

"Now even if the Queen Mother wants her subordinates to die, her subordinates have to die. But His Majesty thought to himself, even if His Majesty really died for the sake of social development, he couldn't bear a sense of infamy and insult his ancestors and descendants! Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain to leave thousands of generations of descendants? The next thought of this made his heart chill and tremble. Therefore, for the sake of the court's social plan, his subordinates have to fight to defend themselves on the basis of reason, and ask the queen mother and the lord of the country to be magnanimous and exempt the ministers from injustice! ”

As if he was angered by Vice Minister Lei's lies, Li Tianzhao, the lord of the country above the high hall, suddenly took the case, and he was about to point at Vice Minister Lei and complain in detail, but he was already preempted by Li Qiusheng, who was close to Vice Minister Lei.

I could only hear Li Qiu in the hall shouting angrily, "Vice Minister Lei, don't be presumptuous. What you did is not clear to others, but am I Li Qiusheng still unclear? With all the sins you have done to me and Dong Yanzhi, any law in the court can cure you for your capital crime. You are still defending yourself here with such a face, you are really a wicked person who sued first, and the dog was bitten if you didn't succeed, which shows that your vicious heart is extraordinary. ”

Above the court, everyone listened to Li Qiusheng's rebuttal, and for a while, hundreds of pairs of eyes were completely fixed on Vice Minister Lei among them. It was as if he were interrogating a heinous murderer, and there was no room for leniency.

Looking at everyone's contempt for him and his inexplicable splash, Vice Minister Lei suddenly felt as if he had been put on a criminal hat by Li Qiusheng, and he had to accept the contempt and belittlement of all the people in the court in an instant, and he had to accept all kinds of provocations and insults from the so-called righteous forces. His heart suddenly became arrogant and angry, and he stared at Li Qiusheng in front of him hatefully and laughed loudly. "Li Qiusheng, I didn't expect that I would be a smart person, but I was confused for a while, and I would actually lose at the hands of a yellow-haired child. Is this really providential? Or is it a cycle of good and evil in the world? I don't believe it! I'm not convinced! ”

Li Tianzhao shouted loudly from the high hall at this time, "Vice Minister Lei, the matter has come to this, you don't have to struggle and protest meaninglessly. Your rights and wrongs, you have your own criminal department director Le Xuanle Aiqing to guide you and fans! You don't want to compete with each other in the court. Please believe that I will not wronged you, and I will let others be stubborn to you. All the sins of all people are justified by the laws of the court! ”

With the resolute voice of the lord Li Tianzhao, Vice Minister Lei seemed to be suddenly much more relieved. He glanced at the entire court with cold eyes, and then squinted at King Liang next to him, as if he was very depressed and said. "Well, since you have repeatedly tried to cure me for someone's sins, then I won't argue anything. Listen to the results of the investigation of the Criminal Department, and I will suffer whatever crime I deserve, and it is superfluous to argue with you like this, and the mediocrity will disturb you. ”

At this time, after King Liang relieved himself of his own danger, he finally took advantage of the opportunity to come forward for the first time and slowly argue. "Well, it's rare that Vice Minister Lei has such an awareness, I think we have to deal with it like this first, and when the Criminal Department has more evidence to come out, let's go one by one according to the laws of the imperial court."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at the lord and the queen mother above the high hall, as if he was expecting the secret permission of the two.

Seeing that King Liang finally came forward to relieve himself, Deputy Lei also pretended to be pitiful. "Well, His Majesty follows the will of the lord of the country and the king of Liang, and is willing to accept the investigation of the criminal department. If the subordinate is finally proven guilty, then the subordinate is willing to accept the punishment due to the court. ”

"Hmph, Vice Minister Lei, don't pretend to be so pitiful first, I haven't settled the accounts of the two of us with you Jiangdong yet? How can you forget! ”

Suddenly, Li Qiusheng looked at Vice Minister Lei, who was already pretending to be hypocritical, and said, it seems that he, Li Qiusheng, doesn't care if you are the lord of the country who forgives you, or the queen mother has also begun to forgive you. Anyway, in the future, I will settle this account with you, the old fox, from beginning to end, and I am too lazy to go to the ground with you now.

Just when Li Qiusheng was thinking about taking revenge on Vice Minister Lei head-on, he could only hear Le Xuan, the head of the Criminal Department, speaking loudly in the court. "The lord and the queen mother of the country, the former lord and the queen mother entrusted their subordinates to investigate the 'Li Qiusheng and the general Li Liangguang's inquiry into private fraud', and now after half a year of open investigation and secret visits, Weichen has roughly sorted out the reason for this matter."

"The matter of Li Qiusheng, Li Gongzi and An Le Zhai is completely expected, just like the past events that Shopkeeper Liu told you in court now, everything is in line with the reasoning of the original minister. Only now can this matter be revealed to the world, and the ministers feel that they have lived up to the grace entrusted by the lord and the queen mother that day. ”

"Now, your subordinates are not allowed to report the matter to the lord of the country and the queen mother. At the beginning, the owner of the 'Anle Village', the golden knife guest, and the old man Dong, were actually the old subordinates of the 'King of Heyang' back then, and they only rushed out of the encirclement of the enemy and escaped separately when the old lord was killed and there was no news from the court. It's really not as the lie of the government and the opposition that the golden knife is a thief who specializes in beating the grain and grass of the imperial court, and the old man Dong is not a bandit who is destined to die in the world, all these rumors and evil consequences are all done by people with ulterior motives. ”

Listening to the narration of Le Xuan, the head of the Punishment Department, Li Tianzhao, the head of the country above the high hall, suddenly slapped the dragon chair angrily and shouted. "Le Aiqing, who was the culprit back then? actually caused my imperial brother to end up with no bones? Hurry up, I'm going to avenge my brother! Such an insult to the hatred of my brother, I will have to slash the enemy and then hurry! ”

Le Xuan heard the words of the lord of the country, and thought to himself hesitantly for a while. "Back to the lord of the country, the minister couldn't figure out the matter here, but at that time, the minister had a preliminary understanding and persuaded a few people to participate. However, the matter is confidential, and it is afraid that it will hurt the country, and Weichen still can't speak freely in the court for a while. In this matter, I also ask the lord and the queen mother to tolerate the ministers for some time, and the ministers will be able to solve this puzzle. At that time, this matter will be made clear to the world, and the spirit of the 'King of Heyang' will be comforted in the sky!"

Li Tianzhao listened to Le Xuan's words, and seemed hesitant for a while. After he took a few steps above the high hall, as if he had suddenly made up his mind, he was about to say a lot of noise, when he heard the Queen Mother speak loudly behind him.

"Le Xuan, since it is a matter of secrecy, and it also involves the society and the state of the imperial court, then before there is conclusive evidence, it is better not to say it first. When you have enough evidence and testimony from the results of your investigation, and then find out that there is a mastermind behind this hidden for more than ten years, the declining family will severely punish this evil thief who misled the country and the people, and return the innocence of my son 'King Heyang'. ”

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Li Tianzhao also nodded yes. "Then according to the words of the queen mother, put it aside for the time being, and decide the matter in front of you first."

The two of them were talking like this one after the other, when suddenly they heard someone crying loudly in the court. Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly realized that this sad crying person was Li Qiusheng, who had always been the target of everyone.

For a moment, he was completely stunned, and looked straight at Li Qiusheng in front of the hall.

There was a look of surprise, and there was no longer a trace of chanting noise.
