Chapter 20 Self-Protection
In the main hall, the atmosphere was gloomy, Ji Fu was standing upright in an official robe, his emotions were unknown between his eyebrows and eyes, and the cold air around him was pressing, and he was far from daring to let people approach.
Zhang Cheng knelt on the side, trembling and never daring to look up at the Son of Heaven in the high hall.
Quan Duo glanced at the kneeling person, and then looked at Ji Fu, "Ji Fu, you said that you found out the murderer of the mansion Yin Qianjin, but this is the person?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, there are still some people, the minister has sent someone to invite!"
"Oh, and anyone?"
Ji Fu turned around, "Your Majesty, someone is here." ”
Quan Duo looked out of the hall along Ji Fu's eyes, Duke Su stood aside, the queen took the lead, followed by the prime minister and the queen's brother Li Nan. While he was wondering, the three of them walked to the center of the main hall.
"Concubines, see Your Majesty!" Li Ran raised his hand and saluted, and his movements all reflected the spirit of the royal lady.
"Excuse me!" As soon as Quan Duo raised his hand, Li Ran and the others got up and looked at Ji Fu with a solemn expression, as if they wanted to see deeper into his soul through Ji Fu's shell.
"Your Majesty, Father-in-law Su said that you summoned me, I don't know why?" Prime Minister Li Yuansheng was full of smiles.
"Your Majesty, it is Ben Hou who has passed the decree without authorization, if not, I am afraid that I will not invite the three of you!!"
Quan Duo was puzzled, Ji Fu took over the conversation and stopped the guilt, "The minister implores His Majesty to wait for the minister to settle the case before dealing with the minister!" ”
"That's it, you are also thinking about the affairs of the DPRK and China, so don't make an example!" Quan Duo waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ji Fu clenched his fists.
"Why did Shuo Feng Hou invite the three of me here!" Li Yuansheng flicked his sleeves with disdain, and he didn't want to give Ji Fu a look.
"Then I'm going to ask Ling Lang!" Ji Fu chuckled lightly, broke Zhang Cheng's head and looked directly at Li Nan.
"Dare to ask Li Gongzi if he can recognize this person?"
After Li Nan looked at Zhang Cheng, his pupils quickly turned, his eyes dodged, and his fingers clasped the corners of his clothes, Li Ran quickly realized that something was wrong with his younger brother and stretched out his hand to block him.
sneered: "Where did Master Hou find a beggar, his younger brother has a strict family style, and he will never associate with such a person in the market!" ”
"Queen Mother, the four words of strict family style are true and have nothing to do with Brother Ling, who in this Bianjing doesn't know Brother Ling's reputation, do you need me to find the mother of Chunhua Pavilion to ask?" Ji Fu's eyes seemed to be smiling, and his eyes were full of sneer.
"You!" Li Ran was angry, but he couldn't do anything under Quan Duo's nose.
"Since it is difficult for the prince to open the golden mouth, you, say! You can recognize Li Gongzi! Ji Fu kicked Zhang Cheng at his feet, and he was instantly full of oppression.
"Childe, you asked me to sell it to you, and I also died in front of you, you can't deny it! Childe, this matter has nothing to do with me, you said it would be dealt with, you can save me! Zhang Cheng said a long list, but every sentence revealed that he and Li Nan had a not simple relationship.
"You, you don't want to talk nonsense!" Li Nan didn't know if he was provoked, or if he was really poked in the heart, he raised his foot and was about to greet Zhang Cheng, Ji Fu picked up the back of Zhang Cheng's neck and pulled it back, and Li Nan kicked it in the air.
Ji Fu looked at the front of him coldly, feeling more and more interesting, annoyed and angry, Quan Duo would not fail to see it.
"What are you doing with such excitement?"
"Shuo Fenghou, don't you want to spew blood, I don't know where to find a madman, can you conclude that I killed the daughter of Fu Yin Mansion just by his words? Besides, that girl ......"
"Nan'er!" Li Yuansheng drank sharply, but it was too late.
Ji Fu squinted, "Childe, Ben Hou never said what the matter was with the three of you. ”
Li Nan was stunned, he was tricked by Ji Fu, and the faces of the queen and the prime minister were obviously wrong. Ji Fu also had to thank Li Yuansheng for keeping Li Nan shut up in time, so as not to ruin the plan.
"Shuo Fenghou, you are a guide dog, how can you do the count, how can you be allowed to frame people with empty words and white teeth in front of Your Majesty, you Wanhumen is like this to judge the case, can't you come up with any evidence?" Li Yuansheng spoke up, but the next moment he would regret saying this.
"Who said there was no evidence!" A few people came in from outside the hall again, and Shen Xuzhi and Yun Yi escorted Cui Desheng and Lao Li Tou in.
"Get on your knees!" Shen Xuzhi kicked at the crook of Cui Desheng's leg, forcing Cui Desheng to kneel, but Lao Li knew each other better and took the initiative to kneel next to Cui Desheng.
"Minister Shen Xuzhi see Your Majesty!" Shen Xuzhi bowed as Yun Yi looked.
"Shen Xuzhi? Who are these two?" Quan Duo pointed to the two kneeling people, a little puzzled.
"Your Majesty, this is Cui Desheng, the head of the common people's district, and the one next to him is his dogleg to put it bluntly, I think Gongzi should know him two better than me, right?" Shen Xuzhi looked at Li Nan on the side with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, the minister still has a bill and a blood book of 10,000 people in the common area!" Shen Xuzhi said and took out two things in his arms, and Gonggong Su stepped forward and presented them to Quan Duo.
"Ten thousand blood books, what are the grievances?" Kwon Duo frowned.
"Your Majesty, these two people have been occupying the materials of the common people all the year round, and they have been searching for the silver taels sown by the imperial court, and the people in the common people have been miserable, so when there have been a lot of absurdities in the past few years, they will even be imprisoned in the designated place by those who disobey them, and let them kill each other and fend for themselves!"
Quan Duo opened the blood book of 10,000 people, his fists clenched a little, and Gonggong Su brought the bill again, and Shen Xuzhi continued.
"Your Majesty, you must have to ask, how can a manager dare to act so recklessly at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is because he has a strong backing behind him! Just like Li Nan who appeared in this bill! ”
"Shen Xuzhi, you bastard, you dare to slander me!" Li Nan waved his fist like crazy to greet Shen Xuzhi, but in a hurry, he didn't notice the person kneeling at his feet, and directly lay on Cui Desheng's body, and the two fell to the ground.
Yun Yi on the side turned his head and tried his best to suppress himself from laughing, but Shen Xuzhi did not hide it, laughed, and was still prompted by Ji Fu on the side before he relented.
Li Nan directly kicked Cui Desheng away: "You idiot, I'll kill you!" ”
"Bang!" When Li Nanzheng was fighting with Cui Dede, Quan Duo slapped the dragon chair angrily and shouted: "Enough! ”
He got up and threw the things presented by Shen Xuzhi to Li Nan, "The matter has come to this, what else do you have to say." ”
"Your Majesty, this must be framed by someone, the concubine's younger brother has no such guts, Your Majesty will investigate clearly!"
Li Ran had already knelt down and begged bitterly, and even the invincible prime minister hurriedly knelt aside to plead for his son.
"When the third child was wronged, you said that it was framed, but now the evidence is conclusive, and you still say that it was framed!" Quan Duo strode up to the queen and glared at the family.
"Your Majesty......" Li Ran looked at the person in front of him with tears in his eyes, his disgusted look was unprecedented, and he didn't know when it became like this.
"Come on, put Li Nan in the prison and wait for interrogation!" Quan Duo said no more, and directly gave the order.
Li Nan didn't expect that Quan Duo didn't care about the Prime Minister's Mansion at all, nor did he expect that he would be beaten to the prison, so he panicked even more, and begged for mercy vigorously: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, the minister is wronged, it must be Shuofeng waiting for them to frame me, Your Majesty!" ”
His plea for mercy did not receive Quan Duo's sympathy, and Father-in-law Su immediately called the guards to come forward and drag Li Nan away.
"Dad, sister, help me! Shen Xuzhi, you bastard, I won't let you go! ”
His cursing was shut behind the door and could no longer be heard, and as soon as the prime minister's eyes went black, the man fell backwards.
"Daddy!"
……
"Sister, are you looking for me?" You Xin pushed open Concubine Shu's dormitory and saw Concubine Shu lying comfortably on the chaise longue.
"Come, sit!" You Yu waved his hand, and all the maids next to him retreated.
After the people left, Concubine Shu sat up, looked at You Xin with her head tilted, saw that he was a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but ask out loud: "Sister, why are you looking at me like this?" ”
"Tell my sister, what are your feelings for that expediency? You're not going to be looking at that girl, are you? Do you know that if you marry that girl, this palace and her will become concubines, and that cheap girl will climb on my head to make a fortune? ”
"Sister, where did you get the news from, so serious brother thought something was wrong!" Yu Xin looked at his sister with a smile and a smile.
"Sister, don't worry, what I do will only benefit me and our entire You family, and you still don't worry about me doing things?"
"It's good if you have your own number, if you're really confused, how can I, as a sister, pull you back to the right path!" Concubine Shu said and glanced at You Xin.
When the sister and brother were talking and laughing, Quan Feifei pushed the door and came in, followed by two maids.
"Mother, uncle!"
"Feifei, why are you here?" You Yu saw her daughter's face full of spoiling, and her happy emotions overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Mother~" Quan Feifei coquettishly grabbed Shu Guifei's arm, and her delicate voice seemed to coax Shu Guifei to be happy.
"Tell me, aren't you so well-behaved that you're causing trouble outside?" You Yu gently lined up Quan Feifei's hand, but his tone did not mean the slightest hint of blame.
"Mother, look!" Quan Feifei stretched out his hand to remove a tray of cloth, You Yu stepped forward in confusion, it was a blue gown, excellent color, made of fine silk cotton.
"What is this?"
"This is the new clothes made by the garment workshop for expediency, you look at the color, the material, how can that girl match, so I picked two pieces and brought them over, mother, how about you help me see it?"
"If you let Your Majesty know and blame it, if you like a few clothes, wouldn't it be better to let the garment workshop do it?" The corners of Shu Guifei's mouth suddenly froze, a little worried.
"Oh, mother, don't worry, the servants in the garment shop didn't say anything when they saw that it was me, if they didn't say it, it was expedient not to know, how could she sue her father? Even if they are queens, they are now unable to protect themselves, and it is still a matter of expediency. ”
"What do you mean?" Concubine Shu and You Xin asked at the same time.
Quan Feifei smiled mysteriously, and told the two of them about the main hall as it was, and Concubine Shu clapped her hands happily, "Okay, the queen's own brother is corrupt, so why will the Prime Minister's Mansion be lonely for a while, if you can take advantage of this time to behave well in front of Your Majesty, it will replace the relationship between the Prime Minister's Mansion and Your Majesty......"
Concubine Shu seemed to have thought of the joy after the success of her plan, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.
