Chapter 43: The Murderer
Yan Bingchao returned to the mansion with palpitations and sweated.
said to Chen Ping: "It was really scary just now, I have never seen the new emperor so angry, if he doesn't hand over the arsonist, I'm afraid he won't be able to pass this hurdle." ”
"It seems that General Tiger is the top person of the new emperor, so the Lord of Yao County killed him quickly, and we became her scapegoats."
"What now?"
"Don't be afraid, in three days, those who can't sit still will do it first." Then Chen Ping talked about the plan in Yan Bingchao's ear.
Yan Bing nodded again and again, praising it.
In the imperial study, Song Mo muttered to the corpse, "Xiao Ai, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I came too late, do you hurt......"
Song Mo didn't sleep all night, like he had lost his mind.
I can't go up early, I haven't eaten rice, and no one is there.
In the Lihe Palace, Lizhi Yao sat uneasily, just after reading Yan Bingchao's letter, he said: Song Mo must investigate this matter thoroughly, otherwise he will take his life, and ask what is good?
The personal maid Leling hurriedly came in, and after making sure that there was no one, she closed the doors and windows.
"County Lord, I heard that the emperor brought back the body of General Tiger and put it in the imperial study to guard, and no one saw him."
"He's really so infatuated with her, can't the county lord do so much for him?" Lychee Yao's handful overturned the tea case.
"Don't be angry with the dead, don't be angry with the dead, you can keep a corpse for a few days, you still have most of your life to be good with the emperor."
Lychee Yao listened, and eased slightly, "Yan Bingchao wrote a letter saying that the emperor wants to investigate the murderer thoroughly, you let people keep an eye on him, and the emperor has any movement there, and he will report it at any time." ”
"Yes."
On the second day, the eunuch Xiao Jinzi comforted Song Mo and said: "Your Majesty, you can eat something, if you continue like this, your body will not be able to stand it, and if General Hu knows about her, she will also be sad." ”
"She won't, she's definitely blaming me and being mad at me."
"No, the general will definitely understand your mind when he sees you guarding her spirit in the sky."
"She definitely didn't want to see me, she didn't come to see me."
"The emperor didn't close his eyes all night, how could General Tiger come to see you in a dream! And let's put General Tiger into the ground first, our hometown says that the body of the deceased cannot rest without entering the ground. ”
Song Mo suddenly came to his senses after hearing this, "Yes, I can't let her body be exposed like this, call Li Zhan to come, I want to take her to Cangshan, she is so pure and should be buried there, it is suitable for her, notify the master of the Buddha Palace to overtake her." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After chanting for Su Xiaoai's excessive chanting for a whole day and a night, the sound of the Buddha resounded throughout Cangshan.
The next day, Song Mo returned to the palace, "Xiao Jinzi, go prepare hot water, I want to bathe." ”
"Okay." Seeing that the emperor had regained his original vitality, Xiao Jinzi prepared diligently.
Song Mo held the mermaid's tears and blood, his eyes were full of murder, "Don't worry, Xiao Ai, I will definitely find the murderer and avenge you." ”
In the imperial study, Song Mo, who had been washed, drank a little porridge and waited for his henchmen with anger.
Knock Knock......
"Come in."
Li Zhan, the imperial guard, walked in, "The emperor is blessed!" ”
"Excuse me, do you have a clue?"
"Yes." Then he came in with a man who looked like a commoner and said to him, "Don't you want to see the emperor before you say it?" Now it can be said. ”
The civilian man raised his head timidly, making sure that the person in front of him was the emperor, and then cried out: "The emperor save me, General Tiger was killed by Yan Bingchao." ”
"It's true, you can see it with your own eyes."
"Yes, Xiaomin didn't dare to lie, I was supposed to be on duty with Brother Qing that day, but that day was my aunt's birthday, Brother Qing took care of me and gave me half a day off."
"After the birthday banquet, my aunt told me to bring chicken legs to Brother Qing to eat. When I got there, I saw that the prison was on fire, and I wanted to call someone to put out the fire, but I saw Yan Bingchao coming out of it, killing all the guards at the gate, and sealing the prison door. ”
Song Mo was furious, gritted his teeth and said to Li Zhan: "Press Yan Bing towards that bastard, I will personally peel his skin." ”
In the Yan Mansion, Yan Bingchao crossed Erlang's legs, listening to the drama and singing, looking complacent.
The eunuch Xiao Jinzi arrived with the guards, "General Yan, the emperor wants to summon you and order you to go to the palace immediately to discuss matters." ”
"Hello Gonggong Jin, what is the important matter for the emperor to suddenly summon his ministers?" Yan Bingchao asked with a flattering look.
Xiao Jinzi smiled and said sloppily: "It's a good thing, it's important to you!" ”
Yan Bingchao thought to himself, as Lizhiyao said, as soon as General Tiger died, he would immediately crown me as a general.
The spiritual point that can be worn when canonized, Yan Bing said happily in his heart: "Then Rong Weichen changed into decent clothes?" ”
"No need, General Yan is heroic, and he is full of energy in everything he wears, this good thing can't wait, he will wait for Huang, don't you understand this truth for characters like General Yan?"
Xiao Jinzi skillfully opened Yan Bing's smile, and immediately followed Xiao Jinzi into the carriage in a daze.
Walking to the council hall, Yan Bingchao suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right, and recalled that Gonggong Jin, who had been playing sloppy with him in the carriage, slowed down vigilantly.
Xiao Jinzi said: "General Yan, go faster, the emperor is waiting for us inside!" ”
Yan Bing rolled his eyes and remembered Chen Ping's words, and weighed in his heart: "Okay, okay!" ”
As soon as he entered the temple, the door was closed, and when he entered again, he was suppressed by the guards who suddenly jumped out.
Song Mo sat in the middle, looking like he was going to eat people, "Are you guilty?" ”
"I don't know what's wrong with Weichen, the emperor wants to treat me like this."
"Bastard, don't admit your mistake, who set the fire in the dungeon?"
"It's the officials who are too cold, and the charcoal burns the fire."
"Still lying." Song Mo was even more angry and looked at Li Zhan.
Yan Bingchao shouted with an aggrieved face: "Your Majesty, the minister was really wronged, he really didn't lie, which little man made a rumor, is there a witness?" ”
"Yes." Li Zhan led the witness Xie Wenze out of the back room.
Xie Wenze knelt down tremblingly, and saw that Yan Bingchao was a little scared.
Li Zhan said: "Xie Wenze, don't be afraid, boldly say everything you saw that day, and the emperor will make decisions for you." ”
Xie Wenze was affirmed, and pointed at Yan Bingchao angrily: "It was you who set the fire, it was you who killed Brother Qing and General Hu, and I also saw you kill the guard, the emperor quickly killed him to avenge Brother Qing." ”
Yan Bingchao knew that he could no longer defend himself, and shouted injustice: "The emperor spared his life, it was the Lord of Yao County who ordered Wei Chen to do it, and Wei Chen did not dare to disobey." ”
"Don't try to lie to me, everyone who hurt her will be buried with her." Song Mo said with a look of wanting to break his bones, and glanced at Xiao Jinzi again.
Xiao Jinzi immediately understood, and said to the eunuch beside him: "Go and pass on the Lord of Yao." ”
Lychee Yao knew that when Yan Bingchao was called to the council by the emperor, she had been uneasy, and now she summoned her again, nine times out of ten, the matter was exposed, and Lychee Yao had a little ninety-nine in her heart.
As soon as she entered the hall, Song Mo with an angry face sat in the center, Yan Bingchao was tied up and knelt on the ground, and Lychee Yao dealt with it carefully, so as not to let people see her panic.
Yan Bingchao shouted when he saw Lizhi Yao: "The county lord wants to save the villain!" ”
Li Zhiyao pretended to be relaxed and said: "What mistake did General Yan make, tell the emperor well, the emperor is a reasonable person, and he will definitely see everything." ”
"General Tiger was burned to death by the villain, you said that the emperor was embarrassed to do it, let the villain help, you tell the emperor."
"General Yan, what do you say? This kind of thing can't be talked about, how could this palace ever say such a thing. ”
Lychee Yao looked at Yan Bingchao's psychology of deducting all the charges on Yan Bingchao, and she was clean.
Yan Bingchao saw that Lizhi Yao didn't admit it, and said angrily: "Lord Yao, you went with me on the day of arson, and you were afraid that General Tiger would not burn to death, so I gave her a bottle of poisonous wine to drink beforehand." ”
"Presumptuous, General Yan made a big mistake and dared to rely on this palace, do you have evidence, who saw this palace go to the cell. The emperor slandered his concubines and quickly killed this villain. ”
Yan Bingchao sneered, "Lord Yao crossed the river and demolished the bridge like this, it's really insidious. ”
Immediately, his face changed and said to the emperor: "The minister has a witness, who can prove whether what the minister said is true, and this witness will definitely satisfy the emperor."
"Who?"
"Weichen asked the emperor to answer a question first."
"When death is on the verge of death, you dare to talk nonsense, Your Majesty, kill him, he just wants to delay time."
