Chapter 392: Imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison
In the past two days, rumors about King Yan have intensified.
In Kyoto, even a three-year-old child can say a few words about the bad deeds of King Yan in the mausoleum.
The civil and military officials trembled in the court, and just by the face of the emperor Tieqing, he guessed that the emperor had heard the rumor.
Because of this, everyone didn't dare to mention half a word of King Yan.
On the contrary, some people are self-righteous and want to make the emperor happy by saying something good, and try their best to praise King Kang's good deeds.
After listening to the adult's recital, the emperor's expression became even more gloomy.
He nodded and snorted, which was regarded as a compliment to King Kang.
Immediately, his knife-like gaze swept over everyone, and finally stopped at Shen Yu and Commander Cui.
The emperor said sharply: "Shen Aiqing, Cui Aiqing? If I'm not mistaken, today is the 10-day covenant? Can the real culprit be found? ”
Shen Yu and Commander Cui took a step forward and were about to speak, but Qi Chengan walked out behind them.
"Back to Your Majesty, before Lord Shen and Master Cui say the murderer, Weichen has something to say!"
Emperor Long raised his eyebrows, Qi Chengan was the biggest victim, and he naturally had the right to speak.
Then he said: "Qi Aiqing, please speak." ”
"Wechen doesn't know if the murderer found by Lord Shen is the same person as the person Wechen expected, but before Wechen had an accident that night, the last person he saw was His Royal Highness King Kang!"
The entire Xuanyi Hall was silent, and Qi Cheng'an's words were still echoing in the hall, shocking everyone's sanity.
After a while, a slight whisper came.
"His Royal Highness King Kang?"
"How is that possible?"
"Is it that Lord Qi has misunderstood?"
The words that kept coming into his ears made Qi Chengan even more angry.
King Kang seemed to have been hit hard, his face showed just the right amount of shock, stared at Qi Chengan, and said nothing.
It was such a harmless expression that made Qi Chengan's chest faintly nauseous.
He lifted the hem of his front skirt and knelt respectfully before the emperor on the dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, Wechen is not empty words, when I met King Kang at the side gate of King Kang's Mansion that night, Wechen didn't think too much, until Lord Shen came to ask Wechen if he had anything to do with a Jianghu force called Wuliang Villa, and Wechen knew that he had inadvertently bumped into a big secret."
The more Qi Chengan spoke, the more excited he became, he knew that some of the truth came from the mouth of his own victim, and the consequences were much smaller than those suffered by Shen Yu and Commander Cui.
"What's the secret?" The emperor was hooked by his words and blurted out.
Qi Cheng'an shook his voice and bowed deeply: "His Royal Highness King Kang is the leader of Wuliang Villa!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Commander Cui continued Qi Cheng'an's words: "When the little girl arrived at Qi Mansion with the guards of the mansion that day, what she saw was indeed a group of well-trained Jianghu people. ”
Shen Yu also followed and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen and Commander Cui have found some clues during these ten days, which also shows that the man in black who assassinated Qi Mansion is the killer of Wuliang Villa!" ”
"Do those adults have any evidence to prove that this king is the leader of the Infinite Mountain Villa?" King Kang had come back to his senses, and his gloomy tone was full of helplessness.
The civil and military officials also had a few people who were optimistic about King Kang and asked softly: "Yes, even if the assassination of the people in the Qi Mansion was done by the people of Jianghu, how can His Royal Highness King Kang be the mastermind behind the scenes?" What is the reason? What's more, His Highness, he was not—"
Qi Cheng'an snorted lightly without smiling, and looked back at the adult who asked questions, "Lord Xie intercepted a batch of reformed official silver in Qingchuan before, and the owner who collected the official silver was Wuliang Mountain Villa. ”
"According to Lord Zhong, what is the use of His Royal Highness King Kang's such a big force?"
The Lady Zhong blinked, "What about the evidence?" What is the evidence that proves that His Royal Highness King Kang is the owner of Wuliang Mountain Villa? ”
"Not bad!" The emperor had been gloomy, his shrewd gaze moved back and forth on the faces of Qi Cheng'an and King Kang, and he inadvertently glanced at Xie Yunyan, who was silent, and saw his calm expression, as if he had already received an answer in his heart.
"What about the evidence?"
Qi Cheng'an said respectfully: "Lord Shen said that the owner of the village is often dressed in a silver robe, but it is a coincidence that His Royal Highness King Kang, whom Weichen saw that night, was wearing a silver robe. There were also several guards who seemed to be extraordinary, which they had never seen by King Kang's side before! ”
"Seems extraordinary? It would be too child's joke to say that it is evidence just because of a silver robe. King Kang shook his head with a wry smile, "Father, the son is also a prince, is it also wrong to have some guards beside him?" Besides, the silver robe was made by the mother concubine for her sons not long ago, could it be that she wore the clothes given to her sons by the mother concubine and became the owner of Wuliang Villa? ”
The emperor's gloomy gaze stared at King Kang, and only listened to King Kang's unyielding defense: "Recently, Kyoto has not been peaceful, is Lord Qi guided by someone with a heart and wants to pull out this king to block the turmoil?" ”
King Kang looked at the emperor with some grievances, "Father, if there is evidence, the sons and daughters will be at the disposal of their father." If not, Erchen can't stand this grievance. ”
The consequences of stealing the money of the disaster relief officials are unimaginable.
Just looking at the previous interceptors of official money who were exposed, there were the kings, there were even Shangshu, and even the Marquis of Shu'an, who had wiped the side, all ended up in ruin.
Even if there is evidence to prove that King Kang is the real murderer, it is impossible for King Kang to admit it easily.
Someone recalled that Qi Cheng'an had experienced the entire battle to recover Lingcheng before, and suddenly realized: "Isn't it that Lord Qi has worked with King Yan for a long time, and has forgotten what kind of person King Kang is?" ”
He said it very vaguely, but who were the people present?
All of them are old foxes who have gone through "a hundred battles", and they can roughly hear the meaning of his words at a glance.
The emperor retracted his gaze and asked Qi Chengan again, "Is there any evidence?" ”
"Wechen - still investigating." Shen Yu replied.
Qi Chengan still wanted to continue to persuade the emperor, but at this time Xie Yunyan finally spoke up.
"Cough, Lord Qi, you dare to slander the prince of the dynasty without evidence, are you guilty?"
Qi Chengan clenched his back molars, "What I said is the truth, I don't know what the crime is?" ”
"Presumptuous!" Xie Yunyan raised his eyebrows coldly, and said to the emperor: "Fabricating other people's charges out of thin air is a big crime, please Your Majesty immediately detain Lord Qi!" ”
The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly, seeing through Xie Yunyan's small movements.
"Come on, put Shen Aiqing, Cui Aiqing, and Qi Aiqing into the prison first, and no one is allowed to visit without my permission."
Shen Yu had expected this result, and he glanced at Xie Yunyan without a trace before he was dragged out, and Xie Yunyan also saw Shen Yu's gaze, and nodded imperceptibly.
Everyone present looked at Xie Yunyan suspiciously.
Isn't he always good with Qi Chengan on weekdays? Why did they fly separately at the critical moment?
Only King Kang lowered his head and bent the corners of his lips vaguely, knowing that Xie Yunyan wanted to protect Qi Chengan.
Think you'll be okay with that?
Dream!
