Chapter 296: It's hard to distinguish between right and wrong
readx;?“ It's the other way around!
As soon as Yan Lie, who had a fiery temperament, heard that the people who injured Yan Ze were members of the Lu family and the Han family, even if he was furious, he blew his beard and glared angrily: "What are these Han Xiao and **** Qian going to do? Is there still a royal family in their eyes?"
Yan Zheng's eyes surged with a terrifying light, only to hear him seem to mumble to himself: "People who love wine can't ask for it, and they are not afraid of the scorching sun and cold dew...... What Yan Zheng said was the most widely circulated nursery rhyme in Jinling City at the moment that satirized Han Xiao and **** Qian. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Majesty!" Yan Lie turned around abruptly and pleaded with Yan Chong, "Please leave this matter to the old man to deal with......
"No!" Without waiting for Yan Lie's words to finish, Yan Hao, who had been silent, suddenly vetoed urgently, "Brother Yan Lie has a straightforward temperament, if you are asked to deal with this matter, I am afraid that none of the detainees will survive, and not only will they not be able to threaten the royal family, but they will make the matter bigger and bigger!
"What's the matter? Could it be that the royal family still has to take care of the Han family and the Lu family when doing things?" Yan Lie snorted dissatisfiedly.
"It's not about the Han family and the Lu family, it's about taking into account the current situation in the Holy Domain. Being so coldly raised by Yan Lie, Yan Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Especially with Han Xiao, we must be more cautious, now that we have not solved the matter in the northern Xinjiang, if there are branches at this time, I am afraid that the things in the future will become more and more troublesome!"
"You ......"
"Don't quarrel! What kind of thing are you making such a noise in the Golden Palace of the Imperial City?" Before Yan Lie could speak again, the leading emperor Yan Chong suddenly snorted, and when the dispute between Yan Lie and Yan Hao was calmed down, the leading emperor Yan Chong first waved his hand at the silver silver guard below, signaling him to stand back, and then Yan Chong slowly sat back on the throne, and his eyes also looked straight at Yan Yi at the same time, as if asking what he meant.
Yan Yi's mood gradually calmed down at this moment, and his eyes changed from the nervous excitement at the beginning to a lot calmer, only to see that after he pondered for a moment, he frowned and slowly spoke: "I know best what kind of character my grandson is! Although I don't know the ins and outs of this matter, I expected that Yan Ze was beaten so badly, and there must be an element of self-inflicted blame!"
"Then what do you mean ......"
"What Yan Hao said is good!" Without waiting for the emperor's words to finish, Yan Yi endured the dissatisfaction in his heart and whispered in a reluctant voice, "It's an eventful time now, especially since this matter is related to Han Xiao and **** Qian, two extremely sensitive ministers, so before finding out everything, it's better not to rush to ask for guilt! The most important thing now is to solve the troubles of the Northern Xinjiang and the beast clan first, so as not to have many dreams at night!"
"The King of Shengdong understands the righteousness, and the emperor is very pleased!" After hearing Yan Chong's words, Yan Chong, the leading emperor, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, in fact, now Yan Chong himself doesn't want to be distracted by this matter. After that, Yan Chong opened his mouth to one of the golden guards below and ordered, "You go and tell **** Qian first, just say that his clansmen don't know why they injured Prince Yan Ze, who has now been temporarily imprisoned by the emperor, and will make a decision after finding out everything in the future." ”
"Your Majesty!" At this moment, Yan Zheng looked out of the gate of the Golden Palace, but suddenly shouted in his mouth, "Han Fu is here!"
Sure enough, with the sound of hurried footsteps from far to near, I saw Bai Qi and Chai Song personally escorting the trembling Han Fu into the golden hall.
"Back to Your Majesty, Han Fu has arrived!" Bai Qi knelt down to the emperor and saluted, his attitude was extremely respectful.
Hearing Bai Qi's words, Emperor Yan Chong nodded inadvertently, and then gently waved his hand to order Bai Qi and Chai Song to stand aside, Yan Chong stared at Han Fu who was depressed and trembling with a pair of shining eyes, and a look of doubt couldn't help but flash in his expression. And at this moment, Xiao Han and the others of the beast clan also looked at Han Fu with a solemn face, not knowing what they were thinking in their hearts.
"Raise your head!" Ling Huang Yanchong said lightly.
Hearing the voice of the emperor, Han Fu's old and weak body trembled violently again, and then saw him raise his head tremblingly, his face was pale and a little scary, and the look of horror in his eyes made him look like he was godless at the moment, Han Fu only glanced at the emperor with his own eyes, and even he was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed to the emperor, and kept pleading: "Your Majesty, the old man has been wronged...... The old man has never been to the Northern Frontier at all, and he doesn't know any orcs......"
"Are you Han Xiao's butler?" Ling Huang Yan Chong ignored Han Fu's pleas, and still asked softly to himself, "Then how many years have you followed Han Xiao?"
"I have been a slave in the Han Mansion since I was a child, and I have been a slave for forty or fifty years...... Han Fucheng replied in fear.
"In this way, you are considered Han Xiao's cronies?" Ling Huang Yanchong's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said unhurriedly, "Han Xiao must trust you very much, right?"
"This ......" Emperor Linghuang's words confused Han Fu, how could he, who was already full of fear, understand the meaning of Emperor Linghuang's words at this moment, "Lord Han is really not thin on old decay......
"So you're secretly colluding with the beast clan for him, right?" Before Han Fu finished speaking, Ling Huang Yan Chong's tone suddenly became fierce, and his voice suddenly rose a lot, when even Han Fu was so frightened that his body almost collapsed on the ground.
"I didn't ...... I didn't...... Wronged......" Han Fu pleaded again and again with a handful of snot and tears, and looking at his tearful appearance, it didn't look like he was lying at all.
"Xiao Han!" The Emperor's words suddenly changed, and he asked Xiao Han who was kneeling beside him, "Do you know him?
"I don't know!" Xiao Han was extremely shrewd, only to see him sneer with a straight face, "I know that Han Fu is only said through Mrs. Zhao, and I haven't seen Han Fu, how can I know if it's him?"
Hearing this, Ling Huang Yan Chong and the four holy kings below couldn't help but glance at each other, and there was a dignified look in their eyes.
"One of you said that the person who secretly lamented the beast clan was Han Fu, and the other said that he was wronged, in short, someone between you must be lying!" Yan Yi scolded coldly, "It seems that there is no need to be punished, you will not tell the truth!"
As soon as he heard that Yan Yi was going to torture him, even if Han Fudang was stupid, how could his old bones withstand such a toss?
"Your Majesty, I have wronged you...... I've wronged you......"
"Come on, pull Han Fu and Xiao Han down separately, and give me a good trial!" The Emperor commanded coldly to the golden guard below, ignoring Han Fu's wail at all.
In this way, in the noise of Han Fu and Xiao Han's nine people, more than a dozen fierce golden guards dragged them down, and then the sound of leather whips outside the Golden Palace, mixed with the screams of Han Fu and Xiao Han and others, resounded in the imperial city. The screams and wails of a pig were like slaughtering pigs, and those who listened to them couldn't help but be terrified.
"What now?" Leader Yan Chong set his eyes on the Four Great Saint Kings and opened his mouth to ask, "Should Han Xiao believe the matter of secretly communicating with the Beast Clan?"
"It's better to believe that this matter is credible than not, if Your Majesty doesn't plan early, I'm afraid that there will be long nights and dreams!" Yan Lie said loudly.
"Actually, there are still a few people I sent to Northern Xinjiang on an errand this time who haven't come back......" At this moment, Yan Yi suddenly opened his mouth and said, "And according to the people who came back, they turned back at that time, I think maybe we can get more accurate information when they come back!"
"Why are you so sure?" Ling Huang Yan asked puzzledly, "aren't you afraid that they have already suffered misfortune?"
"Your Majesty doesn't know, one of those people is named Xuan Zheng, this person is the most satisfied master of my subordinates, not only because of this person's profound cultivation, but also because this person is cautious in handling things and has little observation when encountering problems!" Yan Yi chuckled and explained, "And the person who took the initiative to turn back this time is this Xuan Zheng! This time we were able to successfully bring back nine beast clan masters from the Northern Frontier, and in the final analysis, it should be regarded as Xuan Zheng's credit!" According to his words, what one or two people said may not be credible, and only by catching different beast masters from different places and interrogating them, maybe they can ask some eyebrows!"
"Anyway, Han Xiao can't be trusted now!" Yan Zheng nodded faintly and said, "Since Your Majesty can't make up your mind to convict Han Xiao now, it's better for us to divide our troops into two ways, on the one hand, to test Han Xiao's loyalty, and on the other hand, to wait for the Xuanzheng that King Shengdong said to come back to prove everything!"
"Now it's impossible to make the emperor absolutely believe in Han Xiao!" "Emperor Yan Chong nodded lightly, then raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Then how do you want to test Han Xiao?"
"Give the emperor's order, order Han Xiao to return to Jinling City as soon as possible!" Yan Chong sneered, "And after he comes back, the army will be handed over to Xi Chen for the time being! Let's see how Han Xiao responds! If he comes back obediently, it means that there is no ghost in his heart, and we can make a decision after in-depth investigation! If he refuses to come back, his heart is obvious, Your Majesty does not need to hesitate, and can order severe punishment!"
"If what Han Xiao said is true, will it ...... to remove the coach immediately?"
"Don't worry!" Without waiting for Yan Hao's words to finish, Yan Zheng smiled slightly, and then said quite confidently, "You don't have to forget that there is a big camp in Northern Xinjiang! Chu Lingtian is stationed there with 100,000 horses, why worry about the beast army?"
"Not bad!" Yan Yi nodded and agreed, "At least the current situation seems to show that Chu Lingtian hasn't made any trouble yet, and he is much more credible than Han Xiao, who is full of suspicions!"
"What's more, Chu Lingtian is looking forward to Lan Shixun, and now that Lan Shixun is still in Jinling City, I don't believe Chu Lingtian dares to mess around!" "Emperor Yan Chong sneered and said, "Yan Zheng, you are very good at this method! It can not only test Han Xiao, but also test Chu Lingtian and Lan Shixun, and also solve our current dilemma, it can be described as a plan to kill three birds with one stone! Turn our passive into active, good!"
Hearing Emperor Yan Chong's praise, Yan Zheng's face couldn't help but show a touch of pride.
"Bai Qi!" Ling Huang Yan Chong opened his mouth and ordered, "Han Xiao doesn't have to be compared to ordinary ministers, I think you should go to this matter in person!"
"Yes! The subordinates will tell Han Xiao His Majesty's order word for word!" Bai Qi said.
"Things must not be delayed! You must hurry up, there is a teleportation array in the imperial city, which can lead directly to the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion, from the Border Guard Mansion to Han Xiao's camp, I expect you to arrive in one day, remember to go and return quickly! This emperor is waiting for your news!" The emperor frowned slightly, and instructed while thinking, "And if Han Xiao disobeys, you don't have to argue with him, just come back and tell the emperor!"
"Yes!" Bai Qi took the order again.
"Chai Song!" "The Emperor opened his mouth again and ordered, "The matter of injuring Prince Yan Ze will be handled by you for the time being, and the Emperor must know who the beaters are! In addition to the Han family and the Lu family, there are some other people! If it really doesn't work, let's kill a few scapegoats! This not only gives Han Xiao and **** Qian face, but also does not lose the majesty of my royal family!"
"Obey the emperor's orders" Chai Song hurriedly bowed to the emperor in a proper manner.
"Report!"
At this moment, I saw a golden guard holding a bloody leather whip walking in quickly, and said back to the leading emperor Yan Chong: "Returning to Your Majesty, Han Fu finally couldn't bear it under the heavy punishment, he recruited!"
"What did he recruit?" the Emperor hurriedly asked.
"He said that he admitted that he had secretly communicated with the beast clan on Han Xiao's secret order, and only begged us not to beat him again. Huang Jinwei replied respectfully.
Emperor Yan Chong couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard Huang Jinwei's words, and after thinking about it for a while, he waved his hand casually and said, "Han Fu's words are true or false, the emperor can't say now, let's take it down and lock it up first!"
"Yes!" the Golden Guard commanded.
"Han Xiao, **** Qian, Lan Shixun......" Emperor Yan Chong's eyes were bloodshot at the moment, and he was a little weak to speak, "The three important ministers that the emperor relies on the most on weekdays are now unbelievably believed...... Otherwise, with their skills, they will definitely be able to solve many current troubles for the emperor, alas...... It's just a pity that they themselves have now become trouble......"
Looking at Emperor Yan Chong, who was full of sadness and fatigue, the four great holy kings all sighed softly, and there was a look of helplessness in their eyes.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, I saw an internal official hurriedly trotting into the Golden Palace, facing Yan Chong, who had an ugly face, and said respectfully, "Duke Wen Ding **** humbly asks to see!"
"Presumably he must have heard about Yan Ze's beating, so he came to intercede for his people!" Yan Yi said in a deep voice.
The Emperor Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then ignored the words of the internal official, but said to Bai Qi and the others with his own care: "You all go on an errand quickly!"
"Your Majesty, that **** is ...... humble"
"No! just say that the emperor is unwell, let's talk about it another day!"
Without waiting for the internal official's words to finish, Linghuang Yanchong slowly and leisurely stood up with his old body and said casually. Then, under the concerned attention of everyone in the temple, he turned around and walked towards the side hall, until he disappeared into the side hall, and he never opened his mouth to say a word again.
At this moment, the sky outside the Golden Palace has turned slightly white, it seems that dawn is approaching, and the Imperial City has once again experienced a sleepless night!
Linghuang Yanchong, who has been tired of too many troubles now, is no longer as shrewd as before!
