Chapter 90: The Night Banquet

and Ning Temple.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. As the ministers saluted, Jun Luo and Shen Changge knelt on one knee. Qi Xing waved his hand and said flat, and then everyone got up and took their seats. Junluo was sitting next to Qi Yu, and by coincidence, there was an empty seat opposite her.

"These days* are restless, thanks to the two immortal chiefs who have cleared the demons and restored peace to the palace. I have a feast today, all Aiqing don't have to be restrained, just have fun. Qi Xing said and raised his hand, Gonggong Li gave the little eunuch behind him a look, and immediately the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the delicate dancing girl walked in with light steps, and the little maid who passed the dishes was also beautiful;

Shen Changge raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "This royal family is rich, I have never seen these things." ”

Jun Luo smiled bitterly: "Do you think I have seen it? Emperor Koufu, which one can we compare." ”

Qi Yu on the side chuckled lightly when he heard this, and Jun Luo looked at it, but the man lowered his eyes and sipped the wine in the cup lightly, but he couldn't hide the playful smile on the corner of his lips. Jun Luo is quite greedy for wine, she looked at the bamboo leaf green in the cup, smelled the wine and knew that it was good wine, but she didn't plan to try it - "The monarch sword master has superb immortal skills, and he has solved the siege in the palace, and this king will give you a glass." ”

The woman in red smiled and picked up the tea: "This seat is not strong enough to drink, and I hope Your Highness will take care of it." Replace wine with tea, thank you for your appreciation. Regardless of Qi Yu, he drank it all. Qi Yu smiled, took a sip of wine, and put down the glass: "I heard that the Monarch Sword Lord is a person who loves wine, but I didn't expect this bamboo leaf to be unappetizing." ”

"What you love is to drink with your confidant, not to drink. The woman in red said lightly, looking at the vacant seat opposite. Qi Yu noticed her gaze, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a report from the door: "Lord Tianshu has arrived!"

Tut. Jun Luo secretly scolded himself in his heart for being stupid, how could he not think that it was Yu Tianshu? Although he said that he was eliminating demons in the palace, Chang'an was the realm of the Yu clan in the end, and Yu Tianshu was named the county lord again, so he would naturally come over. Speaking of which, the two of them haven't seen each other for three or four years, I heard that this girl is obsessed with worldly fun, and she has long left Xiuxian behind, but she pitied Yu Tianhe; that day Yu Tianhe said in the teahouse that his sister wanted to share his worries, although Jun Luo did not say it, but his heart was ten thousand unbelief.

For Yu Tianshu, who was pampered and brought up, unless she suddenly lost everything in the Yu family, she could only be a big lady in her life.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, Tianshu is late. I only heard the purple-clothed girl say apologetically and walked into the temple gate. Yu Tianshu looks like her mother, with a beautiful and bright face, with a touch of arrogance between her eyebrows and eyes, and she is a master who is not easy to mess with. In terms of appearance, she was born extremely beautiful, and she will not forget it when she sees it; in terms of identity, she is the lord of Tianyuan and Miss Yu, and she is also quite eye-catching in this hall.

As soon as Yu Tianshu entered the door, she saw the beauty in red, and she snorted coldly in her heart, but she didn't look at Jun Luo until she was in her seat. Qi Yu looked at her, Jun Luo followed his gaze and looked back, and said in a low voice: "What are you looking at? ”

Qi Yu smiled: "It's just that I saw someone who annoyed her more than me, and I was a little curious." ”

...... "Do you want to compare this?"

"It's okay, this palace and Your Majesty may not have seen Xiaoshu for a long time. Are you okay at home these days?" Concubine Li smiled softly, glanced at Qi Xing, and her words were doting on her daughter. Yu Tianshu's mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, and Yu Tianshu was the closest to Concubine Li in the palace, just like her own mother and daughter.

"The family is fine, Her Majesty Lao Niangniang is worried. Yu Tianshu smiled, her eyes turned, and fell on Jun Luo and Shen Changge, her beautiful eyes shrank: "Ah, isn't this the sovereign sword master of Daizong Sword Village?" I heard that Brother Yuwang recommended you, I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

Jun Luo hooked his lips: "I haven't seen the county lord for four years, and the county lord really hasn't changed at all." ”

Yu Tianshu raised her eyebrows and did not speak, while the woman in red took a sip of tea and lowered her head to eat the vegetables. She is not interested in having such a childish conversation with Yu Tianshu, so this dinner party should be over quickly.

"This time, thanks to Miss Jun and Daochang Shen, the harem is peaceful, come, I salute you two for a drink. Qi Xing raised his wine glass as he spoke, and the two thanked him and followed Qi Xing to drink it all. Shen Changge didn't seem to drink much, this cup of bamboo leaf green immediately coughed in his stomach, Jun Luo looked funny, and poured him a cup of tea: "If you can't drink it, drink it slowly, and there is no wolf chasing you." ”

"Ahem. Shen Changge's face turned red. Qi Xing laughed: "Shen Daochang is a young man's blood, but he still has to practice the amount of alcohol." Shen Changge secretly said in his heart, who knew that this wine was so spicy, and he replied with a haha and stopped talking. Jun Luo looked at him with interest, as if he remembered something, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his eyes were a little confused.

Suddenly, Wei Kun stood up from his seat, walked to the hall and knelt down, holding a stack of papers in his hand: "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to do, this matter is related to General Liu's corruption case, and I hope Your Majesty will allow it." ”

The first emperor frowned slightly, obviously displeased, Qi Yu coughed lightly, and said: "Taifu, tonight is a dinner party to celebrate the demon extermination, and it is better to wait until tomorrow to discuss political affairsβ€”β€”"

"Your Majesty! Since General Liu was thrown into prison, the people in the military camp are scattered, does Your Majesty really want to turn a blind eye and let Ren Zhongchen be falsely accused and the villain gain power?"

"Wei Kun!" Qi Xing snorted and slapped the table fiercely: "I miss you as a veteran of the three dynasties, and I have repeatedly not investigated you for your crimes, you don't want to gain an inch! Liu Bin's corruption is ironclad, okay, you say that I let the loyal ministers be falsely accused and the villain gain power, then you will come up with evidence!"

Han Ru glanced at Wei Kun reproachfully, and hurriedly patted Qi Xing's back: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, Taifu is also an old and confused person, when this banquet is in full swing, what to do when discussing these court mattersβ€”β€”"

"Don't stop him, let him say! Every day I say that I have wronged my loyal ministers, King Yu has nothing to say, you are a princess, why do you help Liu Bin speak like this! If you can't come up with evidence, I will punish you two for the crime of forming a party for personal gain today, and you will all be executed after the autumn!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Shut up!" Qi Xing snorted coldly and looked at Wei Kun, who was kneeling straight: "Let him speak!"

Jun Luo's heart palpitated, and he looked at Qi Yu, who looked at Wei Kun with a worried face, looking at Wei Kun with puzzlement and regret, and couldn't see any flaws at all. The woman in red retracted her gaze, stretched out her hand and twisted her earlobe, and where it was invisible to the naked eye, a small person jumped onto the table with a swoop and swaggered towards Qixing.

Wei Kun put the written confession, confession, the title deed that testified against Liu Bin's corruption and Zhang San's suicide note on the ground, and saluted Qi Xing: "Your Majesty, General Liu embezzled military salaries to buy and sell land deeds, and it was a pawn in the military camp who exposed this at that time, named Zhang San. In his confession, Zhang San said that General Liu's lieutenant withheld military salaries, beat and scolded them, and threatened to kill them if they spoke out. And these land deeds were found during the search of Liu's mansion, and it is impossible to know whether they were bought with military salaries. ”

"The old minister went to the prison yesterday and said that he wanted to see the witnesses, but Lord Han said yes, but he had to wait until today. As a result, today, the witness's family died in the river, and the yamen said that he had been dead for two days. Catch quickly found Zhang San's suicide note, which read, 'I know they won't keep me, so I wrote these words, and all I said before-' It was broken when it was written, and the minister and Lord Han found someone to compare the handwriting, and it was determined that it was written by Zhang San himself. As he spoke, Wei Kun presented the piece of paper with both hands, Qi Xing raised his chin, and Gonggong Li immediately went down to pick it up and presented it to Qi Xing.

"Zhang San is dead, and we don't know if what he wants to say is true or not. Therefore, the old minister and Lord Han entered the palace and wanted to face the saint, but the emperor had a headache and fell into a coma, so he postponed it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he went to the barracks, and since General Liu was taken into custody, the barracks have been managed by Lord Cao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Lord Cao has said more than once that the atmosphere in the barracks is good, and they all cheer for General Liu being thrown into the prison; but what the minister saw was not so. ”

During the banquet, a person sneered: "When Lord Wei said this, he accused the official of making a false report?"

"Whether it is a false report or not, Master Cao knows in his heart. Wei Kun said lightly and continued to look at Qi Xing: "Lao Chen went to the military camp with Lord Han, and at first he only felt that the morale of the military camp was not high, but later he found that General Liu's subordinates had been detained and degraded, and they couldn't find any clues. The old minister said goodbye to Lord Han and was just about to return home, but a soldier who secretly ran out stopped the old minister. He said he heard everything that night. ”

"What's everything?" Qi Xing frowned slightly. Wei Kun smiled sarcastically, and his cold gaze fell on Han Shanggui: "This, I have to ask Lord Han." That night, why did you force Zhang San to lie for you?"

"This official persecuted Zhang San?" Han Shanggui laughed angrily: "Lord Wei, are you crazy?"

Wei Kun's expression was indifferent, and he kowtowed to Qi Xing: "Your Majesty, whether what the minister said is true or not, Your Majesty will ask that person to go to the palace to confront you." ”

"Oh?" Qi Xing was about to announce, but Qi Yu frowned slightly, and said to his father: "Father, this matter is still the words of a soldier, and from what the child can see, it is better to call General Liu's adjutant and the current adjutant of the military camp, and it is better to confront him." Otherwise, most of these soldiers are poor people, powerless, and easily threatened, and their words may not be completely credible. ”

The emperor narrowed his eyes, felt that this was very reasonable, and nodded: "It's okay, just call someone according to what King Yu said." ”

"Yes. "Gonggong Li took the order and went down.

Shen Changge was obviously a little stunned by this development, and when he turned his head, he saw that Jun Luo was still eating as usual, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What's the situation?"

Jun Luo said lightly: "I don't know." It sounds like it's about to overturn the case. ”

"Of course I know it's overturned. Shen Changge couldn't help but want to roll his eyes: "I mean, why are we listening here?"

The woman in red glanced up at him, "Do you think I want to hear it?" ”

Because I'm hungry...... That's really, really, too true...... Shen Changge secretly slandered, and when he heard his stomach screaming, Jun Luo glanced at him, shrugged his shoulders, and continued to eat.

Although she didn't know Qi Yu's every move, Jun Luo had a complete premonition of the next direction. When she still eats, she doesn't want to treat herself badly, and for a while, I'm afraid she won't have this opportunity.
