Chapter 87
The emperor looked at King Ya and asked in a deep voice, "Where is this thief now, do you know?"
King Ya clenched his fist to the emperor and said respectfully, "Back to my father, this person has been monitoring him since he entered Chang'an, and after learning his identity, his son also sent his subordinates to arrest him, but it was just ......" King Ya pretended to hesitate
"Just what" The emperor's eyes were cold, and his tone was full of anger
King Ya continued, "It's just that for some reason, my royal brother King En, transferred two forbidden army commanders from the palace and took people away from me," King Ya said, pretending not to know, he wanted to take this opportunity to pull King En into the water
Sure enough, there was anger burning in the emperor's eyes, he snorted coldly, and said with some anger, "I really didn't expect him to be so confused, deceived by the son of the rebel, and trust him so much in vain."
The emperor said angry words, but he didn't blame too much in his heart, because he knew that King Eun must not know the identity of the other party when he befriended the winner Yu Sin, and as a father, he knew King Eun's character
So he didn't dwell too much on this matter, and after saying a few angry words, he looked at King Ya again and asked, "Where is the thief now?"
King Ya thought for a moment, and randomly looked at the emperor and hugged his fists and said, "Back to my father, if the son is not mistaken, this person should still be in the Enwang Mansion now" Speaking of this, King Ya paused, looked at the emperor as if he remembered something, and continued, "Oh yes, Gonggong Cao should know the whereabouts of this person better than me," King Ya said coldly
When Cao Zhang heard this, his face became extremely ugly, he knew that King Ya was dragging him into the water, but once he participated in this matter, it meant that he would have to face King En, and he was a hundred unwilling in his heart, but when he turned his head, he found that the emperor had looked at him at this moment
Cao Chang was helpless, so he had to look at the emperor and explain truthfully, "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ya once told the old slave about the winner's remnants, but the thief stayed with Princess Chenxi all day long, and the old minister was afraid of startling the snake so he sent someone to monitor, and the thief is now in King En's Mansion" Cao Zhang said with some embarrassment, his face was a little flustered, so it didn't just mean that he had already known the news of the winner's remnants and did not report it to the emperor, but Cao Zhang was also helpless in his heart, he was not sure whether King Ya's words were true or false, If you tell the emperor to go and get someone, if you make a mistake, you will annoy King En, not to mention, he, Cao Zhang, will commit the crime of bullying the king
Fortunately, the emperor's mind is now all on the winner's remnant, but he did not pursue the problem of Cao Zhang's knowledge and not reporting, and after confirming the whereabouts of the winner's remnant, the emperor immediately summoned outside the palace, "Where is General Lin?"
The emperor spoke, and the hall immediately quieted down, and after a while, a person slowly walked into the main hall, wearing gold armor and carrying battle robes, and his whole body exuded the breath of a cultivator, one of the two major commanders around the emperor, the absolute master of the eighth layer of martial arts, and also the commander of the forbidden army who rescued Ling Cang from Li Lie with King En's hand that day...... General Lin
General Lin walked to the front of the main hall and knelt down to the emperor and said, "The last general will see the emperor."
The emperor bowed his head, looked at the latter and asked in a deep voice, "General Lin, did you save someone in Chang'an a few days ago on the orders of King En?"
General Lin clenched his fists, looked at the emperor and truthfully explained, "Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing"
The emperor looked at the latter with a look of majesty, and continued to ask, "Then do you know who you saved?"
When General Lin heard this, he didn't understand why the emperor suddenly asked this question, but he still said respectfully, "Back to Your Majesty, the last general only knows that he is from the martial arts, and the relationship between His Royal Highness King En's relationship with Princess Chenxi is extraordinary, as for the rest...... The last general is unknown," General Lin said truthfully, he was the commander of the forbidden army guarding the palace, and he was directly under the orders of the emperor, so it was naturally impossible to hide anything
The emperor's eyes were cold, and he didn't say anything more, but looked at General Lin and ordered in a deep voice, "This person is now in the Enwang Mansion, I order you to go immediately, and you must arrest this person."
"What to arrest this person" General Lin was stunned when he heard this, his eyes were full of incomprehension, King En just ordered him to rescue this person a few days ago, and he also lost hundreds of subordinates for this, but not much time has passed, the emperor ordered him to arrest this person, what is going on, General Lin was full of doubts, he looked at the emperor and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, the relationship between this person and His Royal Highness King En and Princess Chenxi is extraordinary, I don't know if he has committed something?"
The emperor's eyes were cold, not angry and arrogant, he snorted coldly and looked at General Lin and said in a deep voice, "This person is the son of the rebel minister Win Wuxian, a key criminal wanted by the imperial court for 16 years, he appeared in Chang'an and poisoned King Han, he came to seek revenge from the royal family" The emperor said sharply, and there was anger burning in his eyes
General Lin was shocked when he heard this, this kind of news can be described as appalling, who would have thought that the person he sacrificed his life to save a few days ago would be the murderer who poisoned King Han, a key criminal wanted by the imperial court for 16 years, and he also lost hundreds of subordinates for this, thinking of this, a wave of anger surged into his heart, he snorted coldly, looked at the emperor and hugged his fists and said, "This thief is a deceitful king, the crime is extremely evil, and this scourge will be removed before the end" After that, he got up and left, and the sound of the royal forest army gathering sounded outside the hall
After General Lin left, the emperor was still not at ease, and after thinking for a while, he looked at Cao Zhang and said, "That's it, you go with General Lin, you must catch this person"
When Cao Zhang heard this, he reacted randomly, and hurriedly walked out of the hall in response to the call, and went to fetch people with General Lin
There was silence above the hall, and the ministers were still immersed in the shock of the winner's remnants suddenly appearing in Chang'an, this person was the emperor's henchman, just from this time at the same time sent the commander of the forbidden army and Cao Zhang to get people, it can be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to this person, Prime Minister Yang Guan's face was heavy and he didn't say a word, he didn't know what he was thinking, which had to make other ministers wonder, the emperor attached so much importance to the matter of winning the innocent, especially his son was regarded as a big trouble by the emperor, And the prime minister becomes unusually silent every time he is confronted with the matter of winning and winning, giving people a feeling of staying out of the matter, and the emperor and the prime minister have completely different attitudes towards this matter, which is really incomprehensible
King Yi and King Ya glanced at each other, and they knew each other that things had developed so far that they were completely in accordance with the plan of the two kings
…………
Chenxi sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes were empty, and the cold body of King Han was lying on the bed, after King Han was killed, the prime minister ordered someone to block the prison to investigate, but nothing was found in the prison, at the request of Chenxi, the prime minister ordered someone to send the body of King Han back to King En's mansion
Seeing the royal brother lying on the bed with bruises, Chenxi's heart was sad, she never thought that so many changes would happen in one day, first her lover said goodbye and disappeared for no reason, and then the news of her brother's assassination came one after another, the unexpected came suddenly, making Chenxi feel a kind of helplessness and sadness that she had never felt before, as if everything had changed, and she could never go back to before
Chenxi was melancholy, and suddenly there was the sound of war horses neighing outside the house, and the noisy sound of the crowd pulled Chenxi's thoughts back to reality, Chenxi was surprised, how could there be so many sound of war horses in front of King En's mansion, she was about to get up and prepare to see what was going on, and the sound of the government soldiers sounded outside the door
"Report, report to the princess, a large number of troops came from outside the palace, saying that there are felons in the palace of King En, and they want to enter the palace to search"
What, Chenxi was surprised, how could there be a court recidivism in the Enwang Mansion, thinking of this, she asked the soldiers at the moment, "Who is here?"
The government soldiers hurriedly reported: "The person who came is General Lin, the commander of the forbidden army, and Cao Zhang, the chief of the inner house."
Chenxi's brows furrowed slightly, these two are cronies around the emperor, this time I am afraid that things are not so simple when they go to the palace to investigate people at the same time, but how can the palace hide the important criminals of the court, Chenxi felt that this matter was strange, thinking of this, she immediately ordered the soldiers of the palace, "Don't let them in, I'll go over immediately"
The soldiers of the palace responded and left in a hurry, and Dawn walked to the mirror, slightly sorted out the makeup that had cried flowers, and then left the room and walked straight out of the house
After the dawn came out, it was found that the dense royal forest army had already drained the water around the Enwang Mansion, and it must have been determined that there were wanted criminals in the imperial court hidden in the Enwang's mansion, and there were two people standing in front of the army, both of whom were known by the dawn, it was General Lin, the commander of the forbidden army, and Cao Zhang, the chief of the inner house, both of whom were close associates of the emperor, and they were a high authority in the imperial court
In front of King En's mansion, several government soldiers confronted it, although the difference in strength was huge, but the people who came did not break through, but just guarded outside the mansion in a proper manner, after all, this is the residence of King En, and no one has the courage to mess around in this place
Dawn paced slowly and walked to the gate of King En's mansion
"I've seen the princess" General Lin and Cao Zhang saluted him, and it seemed that the two had been waiting for a long time
Chenxi frowned, looked at the two of them and asked in a deep voice, "Gonggong Cao, General Lin, what are you trying to bring so many troops here, do you know that this is the Enwang Mansion" Chenxi's words are not good, and the various changes that have happened today have made her extremely irritable, and she naturally can't show a good face in the face of these sudden uninvited guests
Cao Zhang frowned, looked at Chenxi and replied, "Your Royal Highness Princess, your mansion hides important criminals who have been wanted by the imperial court for many years, and the two of us have come here to get people, and please make it convenient for the princess to let us in" The old eunuch said in an extremely feminine voice
Chenxi snorted coldly, looked at Cao Zhang, and said angrily, "In addition to me, there is only the body of my imperial brother Han Wang left in the Enwang Mansion now, you tell me, which of the two of us is going to commit the crime" Chenxi's eyes were cold, and his tone was not much better
General Lin felt Chenxi's anger, and hurriedly looked at the latter and explained, "Your Royal Highness the princess is angry, Gonggong Cao and I have indeed come to arrest the important culprit on the order of the emperor, and this person is the murderer who poisoned King Han."
"What, the murderer who poisoned the emperor's brother" Chenxi's face was full of confusion "What nonsense are you talking about, how could the murderer who poisoned King Han appear in King En's Mansion, are you sure it's not a mistake" Chenxi said angrily, he was sprinkling the anger that had been suppressed for a day on Cao Zhang and General Lin, and more importantly, she felt that there could be no important criminals in the court in King En's Mansion at all, let alone a murderer who assassinated King Han
