Chapter 191: The Golden Palace confronts King Qi's instructions
Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin just looked at Hua Zhen and didn't speak for a long time, and the room was quiet for a while, while Jiang Fu and Xia Zhu were guarding the door.
After a while, I heard Xiao Huaijin sigh softly: "I just don't want to see you like this, everything is faced alone, Zhen'er..."
Listening to Xiao Huaijin's words, Hua Zhen couldn't bear it for a moment, she knew Xiao Huaijin's thoughts, but she didn't want others to interfere in this matter, so she immediately met Xiao Huaijin's gaze.
"I'm sorry, I want to solve this matter myself. ”
Looking at the persistence in Hua Zhen's eyes, even if Xiao Huaijin was unwilling in his heart, he could only sigh at this moment: "Okay, if you need my help with something, just ask." Just remember that I am always behind you. ”
After speaking, Hua Zhen nodded, as if she remembered it, and said: "By the way, there is one more thing I want you to tell you, Zhang Guang can go to the capital tonight, in addition to Zhang Guang, even Zhang Mang can almost reach the capital in the middle of the night." Tomorrow morning, the emperor should personally interrogate Zhang Guang and Zhang Ying's case, and I want to take this opportunity to let the Criminal Department shake out the Qi Wangfu and Zhang Mang's affairs at this moment, so that he has no place to turn over. Xiao Huaijin said, with a coldness in his eyes.
If he originally wanted to get rid of Zhao Ting just for Yanbei's plan, but now he has more hatred, not for the sake of Zhao Ting, just because Zhao Ting dares to make a move on Hua Zhen, he will definitely not let go of Zhao Ting.
Hearing this, Hua Zhen's frowning brows relaxed: "It's finally time for liquidation." ”
"yes. Xiao Huaijin responded with a smile when he heard this, and then looked at Hua Zhen with a sideways face: "It's been waiting for a few days, and tomorrow's morning should be very exciting, do you want to go and see it?"
"What kind of place is above the Golden Palace, I'm a woman, how can I look?" Listening to Xiao Huaijin's words, Hua Zhen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Huaijin, and immediately reacted when she saw him raise her eyebrows.
"It's too risky, I'll stay in the house, and I'll tell you when you get the news tomorrow. Hua Zhen said, looking at Xiao Huaijin's eyes, there was a little more helplessness.
Seeing this, Xiao Huaijin's eyes were suddenly full of doting, and the corners of Hua Zhen's mouth were full of smiles: "Okay, whatever you say is what you say." ”
After speaking, he stood up, looked at the moonlight outside, turned around and chuckled and said, "The moonlight is good tonight, but I want to go out for a walk." ”
Saying that, she stretched out her left hand, Hua Zhen was stunned for a moment when she saw this, and suddenly felt her heart jump suddenly, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Xiao Huaijin's eyes, the look in her eyes changed, but she stood up, "Hmm." "Yes.
Seeing this, Xiao Huaijin immediately smiled and took Hua Zhen's hand.
Because the courtyard is now full of people arranged by Hua Zhen herself, and there is only one Xia Zhu left by the Shen family, and the Jin Wuwei assigned by the emperor is generally uninstructed, and he can't come to the backyard at will, so there is nothing to avoid.
Xiao Huaijin pulled Hua Zhen to the theater like this.
The scorpions in the yard were lured out by Lu Wei as early as the afternoon with medicinal herbs and arrested.
At this moment, the soft moonlight sprinkled on the lotus pond in the middle of the theater, like a layer of silver light veil, idle extraordinarily quiet and serene, looking at this scene actually made people's hearts quiet.
Xu is because of the events of these days, coupled with the death of Kyaukyue, Hua Zhen's emotions have been suppressed by hatred.
At this moment, Xiao Huaijin looked at the moonlight on the lotus pond in the courtyard, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking sideways at Xiao Huaijin beside her, Hua Zhen felt that all this was too unreal for a moment.
For the first time, she felt that standing next to Xiao Huaijin was extremely reassuring.
Sensing Hua Zhen looking at her, Xiao Huaijin couldn't help but smile and meet her gaze: "What's wrong?"
Seeing that she was discovered, Hua Zhen's face suddenly turned slightly red, but fortunately, she couldn't see clearly under the night.
I only felt that my face was a little hot, and I quickly shook my head: "It's nothing." ”
As he spoke, he let go of Xiao Huaijin's hand and walked towards the pavilion in the lotus pond first.
Seeing this, Xiao Huaijin followed and sat next to Hua Zhen.
The smile on her face was even worse, looking at Hua Zhen's reaction, she knew that she was by no means ruthless to herself, and she was very happy in her heart.
Hua Zhen felt like a numb heart for the first time, feeling Xiao Huaijin beside her, and she didn't dare to look at it directly.
Just sat quietly, listening to him talk about the construction of this Mingyue Xuan in the first place.
When it was cold in the middle of the night, Xiao Huaijin looked at Hua Zhen with unfinished eyes, her eyes full of reluctance: "It's not early, I'll send you back to the house." ”
After speaking, the warm big hand held Hua Zhen's small hand in the palm of his hand and walked towards Xiaolou.
Hua Zhen followed step by step.
Looking at Xiao Huaijin holding his hand, he became more and more clear in his heart about his feelings for Xiao Huaijin. For the first time, she was moved by someone from the bottom of her heart, and for the first time, she really wanted to be with someone.
In her previous life, although she assisted Zhao Ting for eight years, she did not have too deep feelings for Zhao Ting.
The reason why he married Zhao Ting was also because he was innocent first, so he had to marry Zhao Ting, and he believed Shen Yuxin's nonsense at that time, so he wholeheartedly assisted Zhao Ting.
So to say that she really doesn't have much affection for Zhao Ting.
At least I've never been in the mood to be with him like I am now.
Feeling Hua Zhen's strange appearance, Xiao Huaijin couldn't help but turn her head, looked at the stunned appearance on her face, couldn't help but stretched out her hand and scratched her nose, and said very dotingly: "What's the matter? ”
Hearing this, Hua Zhen didn't avoid it for the first time, and the corners of her mouth raised lightly at Xiao Huaijin's gaze: "Yes, I was fascinated, I actually wanted to look at it for a lifetime." ”
"Then I'll marry you and let you watch it for the rest of your life. Listening to Hua Zhen's words, Xiao Huaijin only felt as if he had eaten honey in his heart, and suddenly it was sweet to the bottom of his heart, and the hand holding Hua Zhen became tighter and tighter.
Jiang Fu and Xia Zhu followed behind, and they heard their words clearly.
couldn't help but glance at each other, their eyes were full of shock, this was the first time they had seen such a county lord.
Waiting for the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Jiang Fu walked quickly into Hua Zhen's house.
Hua Zhen had already gotten up, leaned on the bed, and when she saw Jiang Fu coming in, she immediately asked, "How is it?"
"Zhang Guang was escorted back to the capital last night and directly imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, as for Zhang Mang, who just arrived at the Criminal Department an hour ago, he was brought back by an envoy sent by the emperor. Now that all the civil and military officials have gone to the court, the news behind can only be known when the early court retreats. Jiang Fu told all the news he had gotten and stood aside respectfully.
Hua Zhen nodded when she heard this: "Okay, wait for me to freshen up." ”
And at this moment, on the top of the Golden Palace, Emperor Yan Wen sat on the dragon chair, looking at Zhang Ying and Zhang Guang kneeling in front of the hall, with a very gloomy look on his face.
None of the civil and military officials dared to speak, but stood cautiously aside.
The crown prince, who has been grounded for a long time, was also summoned to the Golden Palace, and Zhao Ting, who was injured on his arm at the moment.
After a long time, Emperor Yan Wen looked at Zhao Ting and Liu Zhongyuan, and his voice was undisguised with anger: "King Qi, Liu Zhongyuan, I ordered you two to thoroughly investigate Zhang Ying's matter, what is the situation now?"
Hearing this, Zhao Ting glanced at Emperor Yanwen, and immediately knelt on the ground: "Enlighten the father, the father ordered his sons to thoroughly investigate Zhang Ying's affairs, and found that Zhang Ying and Jiangnan weaving Chen Yi secretly colluded to murder the Su family, and secretly sent all the stolen money from the Su family's shop for more than a year to Luzhou." Zhang Guang took this money and recruited troops in Luzhou, but in a year, he had recruited 30,000 soldiers, and he was training in the mountains and forests thirty miles away from Luzhou City every day. Luzhou Assassin Shi was Zhang Guang's classmate, and was bribed by Zhang Guang to coerce officials from all over Luzhou not to expose the matter to the imperial court. ”
"How can this be reasonable!Zhang Guang, is what King Qi said true!" Emperor Yan Wen was immediately furious when he heard this, and slammed the piece in his hand in front of Zhang Guang.
Suddenly, Zhang Guang was so frightened that he trembled, looked at Emperor Yan Wen, and kowtowed again and again: "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry, the minister knows that he deserves death, and he doesn't dare to ask the emperor for forgiveness, but the minister is instructed by others, and he will do this kind of thing for a while, and he also begs the emperor to calm his anger for the sake of the minister's command, so that he can spare the minister's family, and ask the emperor to calm his anger." ”
"Instructed by someone?" Emperor Wen Yan heard Zhang Guang say that he was instructed by someone, and immediately looked at the crown prince.
The prince, who was kneeling on the ground, was shocked in his heart, and his face changed, but he remembered Hua Zhen's advice.
Immediately said: "The father's matter has nothing to do with the son-in-law, the son-in-law doesn't know about this matter at all, that is, even Zhang Ying's murder of the Su family, the son-in-law doesn't know, the father, the son-in-law really don't know anything." ”
Hearing this, Emperor Yan Wen looked at the prince with a little coldness in his eyes: "Did I say it has something to do with you?"
Suddenly, the prince didn't dare to say anything, but just knelt aside.
Emperor Yan Wen looked at Zhang Guang at this time: "Who instructed you?" ”
Zhang Guang immediately glanced at Zhao Ting and stretched out his hand to point at him: "It's King Qi, all this is ordered by King Qi." ”
Zhao Ting was looking at the prince at the moment, proud in his heart, thinking that if Zhang Guang said it, the prince would never think about turning over again.
But he didn't expect Zhang Guang to identify himself.
Immediately, he was stunned and looked at Zhang Guang: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Everyone was stunned for a while, and even Emperor Yan Wen was stunned at this moment.
This Zhang Guangnai is Zhang Ying's cousin, and he originally worked in the James Mansion, which was originally a specially set up institution for the Prince's East Palace, and was here to assist the Prince.
In other words, this Zhang Guang should be the prince's person, how can he actually identify Zhao Ting at this moment.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were full of doubts, but no one dared to speak out.
Emperor Yan Wen looked at Zhang Guang, with a hint of danger in his eyes: "Zhang Guang, who instructed you and how to instruct you, it's best to recruit from the truth!"
Hearing this, Zhang Guang knelt on the ground, and his forehead was already red at the moment: "Your Majesty, even if you give two more daring criminals, you don't dare to deceive the emperor, this matter is indeed instructed by King Qi to do it." Although the guilty minister is Zhang Ying's cousin and serves in the James Mansion, the criminal minister was carried by King Qi. The sinner was grateful for King Qi's kindness, and originally thought about doing something for King Qi to repay King Qi's kindness to the sinner. He listened to King Qi's orders, pretended to assist the prince, and stayed by the side of His Royal Highness the prince so that he could monitor the prince's every move. ”
"Zhang Guang, don't frame this king!" Zhao Ting didn't expect Zhang Guang to suddenly bite himself, and his face was immediately flustered.
