The most thrilling chaos since the founding of the Great Xia was quietly unfolded inside and outside the capital in the early morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Its momentum is so great that it is enough to shake the government and the opposition!

The first small flame was just spread in a small alley in the capital.

Gradually, it spread to all corners of the capital.

When all the dignitaries and dignitaries had just opened their eyes, there was already a mess outside.

Immediately after, the earth-shattering roar spread outside the city, to the camp of the garrison division!

Then, this momentum merged from outside the city and inside the city, and even the deep palace was not at peace!

In the palace, Emperor Xia was hazy and awakened by the faint noise.

Looking up at the sky, it was just midnight, and it was not yet dawn.

However, today is the annual festival of worshipping the heavens after all, and it cannot be delayed.

However, the noise outside seems to be incessant, making people feel more and more irritated.

"Someone!"

The eunuch came in, "Your Majesty—"

"What's going on outside?"

"The minions have sent someone out to check, and there will be news soon."

At the same time, the second prince Xia Chun was also woken up from his sleep.

"Your Highness, it's not a good thing!"

A eunuch burst in in a panic with a piece of paper.

"What the hell is the panic!"

"Your Highness, I don't know when I started last night, the streets and alleys of the capital were full of such notices, and the number was about 10,000.

The minions sent someone out, and finally found one, you see—"

The eunuch trembled and handed over the paper in his hand.

Xia Chun took a rough look at it, and was immediately shocked, and he didn't even finish his clothes, and immediately ordered, "Immediately let the commander of the guards come to see this king!" ”

After the eunuch went out, Xia Chun looked at the paper in his hand again, and his face became more and more gloomy.

"So many notices written overnight?"

"What a lot of manpower and material resources are needed!"

"Who the hell is going to go against this king!"

"Lu An? Phantom clouds? Lei Jin? ”

After reciting several names in a row, he finally shook his head again.

Lu An is in prison, impossible.

Phantom Cloud is guarded by six princes, and he doesn't dare to come nonsense.

Lei Jin?

It's just a martial artist, even if he can ask the generals and soldiers in the army for help, but those reckless men in the army, how can they write such a beautiful font?

But no matter what, what was written on this notice made his heart tremble!

If anything goes wrong, he can be set on fire at any time!

Just as Xia Chun was thinking hard about it, the eunuch brought in the palace with the head of the prince's mansion.

Since the death of the previous crown prince, the position of the crown prince has been vacant, but although the second prince Xia Chun has not been made the prince, he has been living in the palace, and naturally he has accepted the blessing of the prince's guard, and almost became his private army.

"Commander Sun, what's the situation outside? What's going on with my father? ”

Sun Qian, the commander of the guard, bowed down and replied, "My subordinates have just learned that Your Majesty has sent someone out to investigate, and I believe that they will know soon."

Now outside the palace gate, tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of garrison soldiers are mixed together, and the momentum is huge, and the ministers who are preparing to go to the court finally squeeze into the palace gate.

The situation is not optimistic! ”

"So, my father will find out soon?" When Xia Chun heard this, he sat on the chair with a pale face.

"Your Highness, it is advisable to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be endless troubles!" The eunuch on the side reminded in a low voice.

"Not bad!"

Xia Chun immediately got up, his eyes flashed, "Commander Sun, you immediately take some of your henchmen to Dali Temple!" ”

"What does Your Highness mean...... Lu An? ”

Xia Chun shook his head, "No! This person is the key person, and if something happens to him at this time, everyone should not want to escape!

Moreover, as long as the Criminal Department takes over the case and starts to review, it has nothing to do with Dali Temple, and this king can also leave it alone.

I'm afraid now, I'm afraid, there will be a mistake before the Criminal Department takes over!

This king will soon go to the court to meet his father, Commander Sun, and you should pay close attention to the development of the situation.

If the officials of the Criminal Department send someone to Dali Temple to pick up people, you don't have to pay attention to it.

But in case an official from Dali Temple is called over temporarily......"

"Your subordinates understand, Your Highness can rest assured!" Sun Qian immediately understood his meaning and turned around to leave.

Xia Chun also began to sort out his clothes and prepare to go to court.

At the same time, the courtiers walked towards the Qinzheng Hall one after another.

In the palace of diligent government, hundreds of officials are in place.

Emperor Xia on the dragon chair had just learned the truth from the eunuch, and his face was not very good-looking.

"Zhongqing, can anyone tell me what is going on outside the palace with those people and soldiers of the garrison!"

Before the ministers in the palace entered the palace, which one didn't come in through the crowd?

Naturally knows what's going on.

However, after Emperor Xia asked, there was calm in the hall.

Lei Jin, as the general of Sanpin Zhengzhen, also appeared in the train, and was about to stand up at this moment, but was stopped by Jing'an Hou next to him.

Then, Lei Leopard was the first to stand up.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"

Seeing Lei Bao stand up, the second prince immediately changed color, and hurriedly glanced at Li Chen, who was standing not far behind him.

Seeing this, Li Chen hurriedly followed and stood up, "Your Majesty, the minister also has something to do!" ”

Emperor Xia ignored Li Chen, but looked at Lei Leopard, his expression softened, "Jing'an Hou, you say." ”

"Before the court, the minister received a notice posted on the street from his family servants, and the content on it was really shocking!

I can't imagine that there are people in my Great Xia court who use public weapons for private purposes and wantonly frame good people, which is really outrageous!

The dignified Dali Temple, without evidence, arbitrarily put a charge of rebellion on the head of an ordinary person, and wanted to put him to death.

Now this incident has caused an uproar among the people in the capital, and even the generals and soldiers outside the city are extremely indignant.

The minister is worried that if he can't return the innocent person to the party, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable.

Please also ask Your Majesty to order a thorough investigation, and we must make this matter clear! ”

After speaking, Lei Bao took out a notice from his arms and presented it to the imperial case through the eunuch.

"Your Majesty, the minister also has something to do!"

Li Chen, the secretary of Dali Temple, spoke again, "What the minister played is the same as that of Jing'anhou.

However, as the head of Dali Temple, the minister has a lot of knowledge about this case.

Just yesterday, after the trial of the Dali Temple and the retrial of the temple, the confessions of the prisoner Lu An and two witnesses have been obtained.

All three have confessed to the guilt.

Jingchen checked that it was correct, and this morning the court was preparing to submit the case to the Criminal Department for review, but he didn't expect Jing'an Hou to tell the case first.

Your Majesty knows that the officials of Dali Temple are completely in accordance with the normal procedures for trial, and there is reason and evidence, and it has been confirmed that the criminal's crime is correct, and I also ask Your Majesty to allow the ministers to submit the case to the Criminal Department! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is against it!"

Lei Bao spoke again, "As far as the minister knows, the so-called evidence in the hands of Dali Temple is completely the result of torture.

In fact, three people, including the prisoner Lu An and two female witnesses, were forcibly pressed their fingerprints when they were unconscious!

There is a rule in this dynasty that if a criminal confesses to a crime, he must sign and draw a seal for his literacy, and only those who are illiterate need to press his fingerprint.

Lu Annai is the secretary of the Light Tobacco Pavilion, and the other two female witnesses are also girls of the Light Tobacco Pavilion, and the three of them are not only literate, but also quite literate.

Even the emperor Sun Lao had praised the literary brilliance of Lu An, the master of the Light Smoke Pavilion.

If Lu An really sincerely confesses his guilt, dare to ask Master Li, do you have a confession written by Lu An himself! ”

"This-" Li Chen was immediately stunned when he heard this.

Then, Li Chen gritted his teeth and replied, "Jing'anhou tried every means to prevent this official from submitting the case to the Criminal Department for conclusion, isn't there any selfish motive?" ”

"What are you talking about, old horseman!" Lei Leopard was immediately furious!

It wasn't until this moment that Emperor Xia on the dragon chair spoke, "Lei Qing's family, don't be bored, and listen to Li Qing's family." ”

With Emperor Xia's permission, Li Chen made up his mind, "Your Majesty, when the officials of Dali Temple were trying Lu An's case, they unexpectedly learned that Lu An may just be an inconspicuous small character.

Temporary evidence from Dali Temple suggests that it may ...... The son of the Marquis of Jing'an, Lei Jin, the general of Zhengzhen, was also involved in this case.

It is only because of the seriousness of the case that after a little tidying up, the minister wants to submit it to the Criminal Department for review as soon as possible, and if there is no accident, the trial will continue again, and I hope that His Majesty will complete it. ”

"Old horseman! Are you suspecting that Ben Hou's father and son are intent on rebellion?! The momentum on Lei Leopard's body skyrocketed, and Li Chen's face was as pale as earth as he was frightened, and he retreated again and again.

"Your Majesty!"

Lei Bao no longer paid attention to Li Chen, knelt on the ground in the palace, and at the same time took off the crown hat on his head, "The old minister has been loyal to the country all his life, but he can't imagine that he will be framed for rebellion when he is old!"

The minister asks His Majesty to take back the title of Marquis of Jing'an and the official position of the courtier Jin'er to prove his innocence! ”

"Lei Qing, why be angry." Xia Di Wen persuaded, "Others don't know, don't I know yet?"

Lei Qing has been friends with me for decades, how can he rebel? ”

"Your Majesty, it is a matter of honor for the minister's father and son, and I hope that Your Majesty will investigate it thoroughly.

At this moment, since Lu An, the witnesses and the whistleblower are all detained in Dali Temple, why didn't His Majesty announce them to the palace, and they would know as soon as they asked, so as to prove the innocence of the minister's father and son.

Otherwise, the charge of treason cannot be washed away, and the father and son would rather be killed in court than framed for nothing! ”

"This ......"

Xia Di hesitated slightly, and Lei Jin also stood up and knelt beside Lei Leopard, "Your Majesty, at this moment, the military and civilians outside the palace are also dissatisfied with this matter.

Why didn't Your Majesty summon the parties concerned and confront them face to face in front of Your Majesty, so as to get to the bottom of the matter? ”

"Okay!" Thinking of the noisy military and civilians outside the palace gate, Emperor Xia finally allowed it and ordered someone to go to Dali Temple immediately to raise people.
