Song Zhi didn't make a sound.

There is no one else to hear the needle falling in the empty hall.

The emperor's groan was expected by Xu Minglang. It is related to the survival of the first noble family of the imperial dynasty, and the emperor is cautious and cannot make a decision immediately, which is the proper meaning of the question.

However, Zhao Xuanji opened his mouth first, not to ask the emperor for forgiveness, but to snort coldly and said to Xu Minglang:

"The door framed my Zhao family, although I don't know why, but the matter is despicable and shameless to the extreme, Xu Xiang is right, this does need to be strictly investigated by the three divisions!"

Xu Minglang glanced at Zhao Xuanji. The three-division trial he said was to try Zhao's murder case and convict Zhao. Zhao Xuanji's words secretly changed the concept, to find out how the sect framed the Zhao family.

"The evidence in many cases of Zhao's fish and meat and people's lives is very sufficient, and the situation is no different from Liu's case. What is the use of Zhen Guogong arguing so much in front of His Majesty?"

Xu Minglang's voice was flat, and his words were implied with contempt. He didn't plan to have a lot of trouble with Zhao Xuan, which would make him be entangled by the other party and delay things, so he asked the emperor again:

"Your Majesty, the facts of dozens of cases are clear, and they should be handed over to the three divisions for trial just like the Liu case, please let Your Majesty know clearly!"

Song Zhi just groaned slightly, and was about to speak, but Zhao Xuanji had already bowed down in front of the court, looking like he had been greatly wronged, and said with grief and indignation:

"Your Majesty, please save the Zhao family, don't let the ministers be killed by traitors!

"Today, some of these cases have been ascertained, and all the evidence and physical evidence are in the Governor's Mansion, which shows that someone deliberately framed the Zhao family, and it is definitely not a normal public case, please Your Majesty investigate!"

Song Zhi nodded when he heard this.

Xu Minglang frowned.

The dock murder case was solved by Zhao Ning and the Duwei Mansion in time, and the Zheng family's people were caught red-handed, which was indeed a flaw, giving Zhao Xuanji a certificate to cry out for injustice, which is also the biggest difference from the Liu case.

This is a big problem, but Xu Minglang will not be out of line, and he said righteously at the moment: "Zhenguo Gong keeps saying that he is a traitor and a traitor, isn't he a thief with a weak heart and wantonly biting?

"If Zhen Guogong is not weak-hearted, and his body is not afraid of shadows, then he should agree to the triage of the three divisions and return your innocence, why has he been obstructing the normal case handling steps of the imperial court for no reason?!"

Song Zhi wanted to speak and stopped, looking hesitant.

Zhao Xuanji didn't quarrel with Xu Minglang, but said to the emperor even more sadly: "Your Majesty, has Your Majesty forgotten about going to Shizhou?"

"At that time, in order to calculate the Zhao family, some people did not hesitate to join forces with the Hu people, causing all the cultivators of the Wang Extreme Realm to appear in Daizhou City!

"At that time, such an obvious case, the person committed a crime in the court, was tried by some civil officials, but they changed their confessions one after another! Your Majesty, the injury suffered by the Zhao family, to this day, the ministers are still heartbroken!

"Now, in the face of the same situation, in the face of the ironclad evidence that the Zheng clan designed to frame the Zhao family, please make your majesty the minister!"

After saying that, he bowed to the ground and refused to get up.

Hearing this, Xu Minglang couldn't help but secretly curse the old thief. Zhao Xuanji turned over the matter of Daizhou, which undoubtedly enhanced a lot of convincingness.

In last year's case, the closing text was written that Xiao Yan, the princess of Beihu, secretly went to Daizhou City to play with her entourage, which caused a misunderstanding, and Fan Zhongming also insisted that he and his son Fan Qinglin were in conflict with the Zhao family, and it was completely because Fan Qinglin was jealous of Zhao Ning for a woman.

But in the end, it was the emperor who added 30,000 troops to Yanmen Pass, and also increased the supply of 20% of the elixir runes, even if there was an exchange between the Yang family and the Wu family, but it still showed the doubts and vigilance in the emperor's heart.

Xu Minglang immediately sneered and said, "Zhen Guogong, are you selling miserably?"

"Last year's case has been closed, what does it have to do with the current situation? Could it be that because of last year's turmoil, no matter what the Zhao family does in the future, no matter how big the crime is, they don't need to be investigated?!"

Zhao Xuanji ignored Xu Minglang, just bowed to the ground and asked the emperor to uphold justice for the Zhao family.

Song Zhi's face was even more hesitant, and his eyes were full of sympathy when he looked at Zhao Xuanji.

This made Xu Minglang feel bad. The emperor is benevolent, and sometimes indecisive because of this, Xu Minglang, as the emperor's former husband, knows this very well.

In addition, the Zhao family is a relative, and the relationship between the emperor and Zhao Xuanji is extraordinary, if this matter is delayed, once the emperor's ears are soft, he may be moved by Zhao Xuanji, and things may change.

Thinking of this, Xu Minglang can't wait any longer, the stakes are very high, and no accidents are allowed. He had a serious attitude, a dignified face, and with the air of the prime minister's grand duke, he said loudly:

"Your Majesty, a big case involving the family, not to mention that the dynasty has its own dynasty's laws, the imperial court also has corresponding regulations, and it is not easy to do so, let alone extralegal exceptions, just say that the case of the Liu family is still close at hand, enough to learn from!

"Please order Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the Zhao family's murder case with three divisions!"

This statement has been very strong.

Song Zhi looked at the generals in the hall, he was silent on the surface, and he already had the master in his heart

Meaning.

......

Zhao Ning and Zhao Qiyue, with a few guards, rode their horses on the street, and the speed was not very fast.

They have just come out of a Jiangmen mansion that has been befriended by the Zhao family, counting this family, just the two of them, they have already contacted three Jiangmen nobles today, which can be regarded as a posture of asking for help everywhere.

Zhao Ning looked up at the sky, the sun was sinking in the west, and Shen Shi was already halfway through. In another hour, it will be dark. Today's weather is good, and the few clouds are dyed golden, doubly gorgeous under the clear blue sky.

Yanping City seemed to be more lively than usual, and many pedestrians walking in the streets and alleys were talking about something with great interest. Zhao Ning and the others passed by near them, and they could clearly hear what they were discussing.

These commoners in the market don't know Zhao Ning and Zhao Qiyue, and they don't know that the Zhao clan people who are extremely guilty of crimes in their mouths are approaching, otherwise they will definitely point fingers at them and show each other with their eyes.

But that's all there is to it, they don't dare to let them rush up against the powerful and eliminate harm for the people. At least not yet.

When the Zhao family's crime is established, and then there are Zhao clan people walking on the street, there will be rangers who want to be in the limelight or make a name for themselves, blocking their way on the street and scolding them.

If the people around them reacted enthusiastically, they also came up with them and stood on the moral high ground to accuse the Zhao clansmen, they would dare to rush up with the crowd and add fists and kicks to the Zhao clansmen.

The worst will throw some yellowed and inedible vegetable leaves, and those with a wealthy family will throw away a few eggs.

Everyone needs to vent the grievances accumulated in life, and they also need to show their courage and justice, which is just needed. It doesn't matter who they are or whether they are guilty or not, as long as no one holds them accountable for it.

Just like they used to do with Liu.

Zhao Ning had seen such a scene.

Liu Xincheng's twin brother, Liu Xincheng, was seriously injured in the street and died.

If the Zhao family loses this battle, he thinks that the end will not be much better than Liu Xincheng.

The crowd is turbulent, and the world is like a flood. Zhao Ning unconsciously slowed down his horse's speed. As soon as his feet slowed down, he sank into the flow of people and was carried to walk. So all kinds of noisy voices came into his ears in all directions, and gradually entered his heart. This made his originally unique mind and mind influenced to converge with the people around him.

Probably sensing that Zhao Ning was about to stop, the horse snorted.

Zhao Ning's heart moved, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horse, which was accustomed to walking quickly, let out a long roar, and happily accelerated his pace, allowing Zhao Ning to get out of the crowd.

At a street intersection where the ground was sprinkled with golden sunlight, Zhao Ning turned his horse's head, changed the direction of returning to the Zhenguo Mansion, and walked towards the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

Zhao Qiyue followed, opened a slight distance from the entourage behind, and asked Zhao Ning strangely: "Are we not going back?"

Zhao Ning said in a voice that only two could hear: "Go directly to Jingzhao Mansion." ”

Zhao Qiyue frowned, and also lowered his voice, "What are you going to do?"

"See the murderer of the Shimen County dam fight. ”

"Jingzhao Mansion will let us see you?"

"Yes. ”

"Why wasn't it before, but now it is?"

"Because Your Majesty's order should have reached the hands of some officials. ”

"What kind of orders will Your Majesty give?"

"Help our command. ”

"How do you know that Your Majesty will definitely be on our side this time?"

"For now, we're in the same boat. ”

Zhao Qiyue nodded slightly, not to mention that he was very satisfied with this answer, and there was a smile in his starry eyes, "According to what you say, Your Majesty still has a heart for the Zhao family." ”

Zhao Ning smiled and teased: "Although you are about to enter the palace, you haven't entered yet, and now your elbow is on the side of Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Zhao Qiyue blushed with shame, and raised his hand to knock Zhao Ning with a chestnut, after all, it was inconvenient to be on horseback, so he could only change it to a glaring warning.

I probably felt that what Zhao Ning said was reasonable, Zhao Qiyue put away the careful thoughts of the girl to be married, thought about it and said:

"In all the cases in which the men framed us, except for the murder at the docks, the rest at least for the time being, the evidence is extremely unfavorable to us, why are you sure that Your Majesty will definitely favor us? What do you mean that we are in the same boat?"

Some time ago, Zhao Qiyue had been practicing in retreat, so that he could break through to the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, so he didn't know much about Zhao Ning's many plans, and now he was following Zhao Ning to play the role of a thug.

Zhao Ning still said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "This boat is called the suppression of the Mendi family." ”

"Your Majesty wants to suppress the family, why?"

"Naturally, the power of the family is too large, and it has constrained the imperial power too much. ”

"Over the years, the door has suppressed us and the effect has been remarkable, and the power has indeed risen rapidly. ”

"The civil and military divisions of this dynasty are for the sake of civil and military balance, the door is too strong, the door is too weak, and the court is balanced

Breaking is naturally not conducive to imperial power. ”

In this way, just pouring a Liu clan is not enough to achieve a new balance between civil and military. ”

"It's not enough. ”

"So the Zhao clan took the gate to counterattack the gate, which is actually a situation that His Majesty wants to see. ”

"It's not that Zhao is brought down. ”

"Jiangmen has already suffered heavy losses, and the Zhao family, as the first family of Jiangmen, if it is defeated this time, Jiangmen's counterattack will be declared a failure. In the future, the door will be completely suppressed by the door, and even become fish and meat, and will be manipulated by the door at will, and the court will be completely out of balance. ”

"So the Zhao family must not fall, as long as the Zhao family can be protected, Your Majesty will definitely protect it. ”

"But Your Majesty can't ignore the law. ”

"So I found out about the murder at the dock, grabbed the Zheng clan, tore the veil of the conspiracy, and gave Your Majesty a reason to play on the topic. ”

"Since Your Majesty will help us, why do you only find out the murder at the dock? Isn't it more labor-saving and logical for Your Majesty to help us after everything is clarified?"

"You have a lot of faith in me. ”

"I shouldn't have faith in you?"

Zhao Ning smiled helplessly, "I admit it, it's not that I can't find out more cases, it's that I can't do this." ”

Zhao Qiyue tilted his head slightly and looked at Zhao Ning, "Are you afraid that Your Majesty will be jealous of us?"

"We have already thundered to bring down the Liu family, if we thunder to solve the trap of the family's painstaking layout, it will be too resourceful. ”

"Not bad. Bringing down the Liu family, we can still say that we are unprepared to attack it by surprise, if this time we let the joint efforts of multiple sects take the initiative and collapse within a day, then we are too good at conspiracy and calculation. ”

"Jiangmen already controls the army, if there is more intrigue than Mendi, how can the imperial power tolerate us?"

Zhao Qiyue thought so. Born in a Jiangmen family, she already knows these joints, she is a woman, she thinks carefully, thinks a lot, and is still the eldest sister, her mind is precocious, and her cognition of power struggles is not comparable to that of Jianghu women.

After thinking about it, Zhao Qiyue said again:

"We have been avoiding being too strong and offending Your Majesty's rebellion, but Xu Minglang, as the prime minister, the first person in the family, and the first powerful minister in the dynasty, is still instructing the family to frame the Zhao family by unscrupulous means, and Your Majesty must be very jealous. ”

Zhao Ning nodded and said: "So the more Xu Minglang has a tough attitude and asks for the triage of the three divisions, the more unhappy His Majesty will be, and the more he will not be able to agree." ”

"Since Your Majesty will help us, why do we still have to go to Jingzhao Mansion to see the murderer of the weapon fighting case? The case will be handed over to His Majesty's people to investigate, and we will just sit at home and wait for the result." ”

Zhao Ning sighed and said, "Although Your Majesty is willing to help us, it is impossible to directly turn the Zhao murder case into a case of the Zhao family being framed. ”

"Is it because there are too many cases, too much resistance?"

"There are many cases, and it's not all resistance. ”

"What else?"

"Will be the door inside the problem. ”

"You mean, Jiangmen didn't work together to cry out for us in the court?"

"I'm afraid that some people are still echoing Xu Minglang. ”

"The Sun family and the other families, because of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, they still don't give up?"

"As long as Xu Minglang gives enough benefits, they will stand on Xu Minglang's side. ”

"In addition to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, what else can Xu Minglang give to the Sun family?"

"Xu Minglang still has the military department in his hand, and he can completely make a lot of profits for the Sun family and other families in the distribution of ordnance, money, food, and elixir. ”

"This old man is really willing to pay for it!"

"If you want to bring down the Zhao family, who is the first to be the gate, you can't do it if you have less money. ”

"Even the generals have echoed Xu Minglang, and His Majesty is indeed under great pressure to disobey this momentum. ”

"But the more this happens, the more Your Majesty will help us. ”

"Because we don't have a full grasp of the military, we seem weaker?"

"With the help of the Zhao family like this, His Majesty has no scruples in his heart. Because once the Zhao clan had a problem, His Majesty could easily support the Sun clan and let them fight against us. ”

"But right now, Your Majesty can't turn the Zhao family's murder case into a case of Zhao's framed case, how can you help us?"

"Don't forget, in addition to the door and the general, Your Majesty also has a power in his hands. ”

"An official of the Hanmen Shu clan?"

"On the surface, Your Majesty delayed the time of the trial of the three divisions, and secretly, asked the officials of the cold door to provide us with convenience and work with us to quickly investigate the case. This is what His Majesty will do, and the only arrangement he can do. ”

Speaking of which, Zhao Ning, Zhao Qiyue and others also arrived at a street near Jingzhao Mansion.

From a distance, Zhao Ning saw someone looking at the corner of the street. When the other party saw Zhao Ning, he hurriedly ran over and invited Zhao Ning into a restaurant not far from the street.

Zhao Ning and Zhao Qiyue went up to the second floor together and entered a private room.

"Brother Zhao, you are here!"

Tang Xing hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
