Chapter 92: Zhaozheng Hall
The next day, at three o'clock, the palace gate was keyed.
The ministers came to the court room one after another to prepare for the court.
The housekeeper Kang in the Prime Minister's Mansion knew that Li Chenghai would definitely be waiting in the courtroom, so he hurriedly delivered Erhei's letter in time.
At this time, Li Chenghai had just come out of the side hall and walked towards the room.
Because Emperor Hui was addicted to pills and had no intention of interfering with the government, it was common for him to stay in the palace overnight. In order to avoid the objections of the ministers of the court, the side hall next to the Zhaozheng Hall was specially reserved for him as a bedroom.
Last night, he accompanied the precious concubine in the Baohui Pavilion and talked until half an hour, and then he returned to the side hall to sleep.
I don't know if it's because I can't bear the precious concubine or if I'm worried about the guards of the city defense army taking the red eye jade beast.
He didn't close his eyes all night, and he looked a little tired.
"Prime Minister, the letter you just sent from your house. The lower officials didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly sent it to you! The steward of the house smiled flatteringly.
"Well, let's leave it here," Li Chenghai nodded, motioning for him to put it on the desk.
"Yes, then the lower official will not disturb the lord," the steward saw that Li Chenghai's face was not good, and hurriedly saluted and left.
The other ministers also saw the clue and retreated to the outer hall to wait.
Among them, there is Lord Zuo, the servant of the Ministry who lost his concubine for a few days.
Li Chenghai carefully read the recital he wrote yesterday, made sure that there was no problem, and picked up the teacup with peace of mind.
After taking a sip of tea, he opened the letter sent by Steward Kang.
"It got to such a point last night, the people of Dali Division are really useless!" He patted his desk angrily, and the ministers in the outer hall were silent.
"Come on, please come in and talk to Rong Zhanshi!"
"Prime Minister, the two adults haven't arrived at class yet. The little one immediately sent someone to urge, "The steward quickly responded."
Li Chenghai looked out, and there was indeed no figure of them.
With a sweep of his eyes, he saw Master Zuo sitting there holding a tea bowl, and immediately thought to himself, "This servant of the Ministry has just lost his favorite concubine, and he must hate the mastermind behind the scenes!" Last night, Deacon Ho's daughter died again.
It seems that the time is ripe. Rong Fu can't hide if he wants to,"
He left the desk and walked to the outer hall, came to Lord Zuo, and said lightly, "I heard that my lord's concubine died in an accident not long ago, and I deeply regret it!" I wonder if you have found the murderer? ”
"There is Lao Xiangye's concern, and the official is distressed." The servant of the ministry hurriedly stood up and saluted, his face slightly sad. "The concubine in the house loves young beasts, who would have thought that the young beast would suddenly bite her, and before the doctor came, she just, thought that it was bad luck, and her fate should be like this!"
"My lord's words are wrong," Li Chenghai said awe-inspiring as he looked at everyone, "It won't be so simple to think about." Everyone has also heard that during this time, people have been poisoned and died, and the conclusion given by Dali Division is that they have been poisoned by animals. But why are the families of the people who had the accident the mansions of our officials? Where does the poison of animals come from? How could so many people be poisoned together? It can't be some kind of bad luck, as it should be! ”
"What clues does Xiangye have?" Lord Zuo was stunned and stood up.
"I can't talk about clues, I just think that the frequent murders are because someone is targeting me Zhaoguo and provoking my authority!"
"What? Who the hell wants to shake me up? Mo is not a tower country? The concubine's cub beast was obtained from a medical hall that operated the young beasts of Ta Country, "Lord Zuo immediately thought of Ta Guo.
Li Chenghai smiled slightly, "My lord is worthy of being the pillar of my dynasty, and I will never forget to care about the court!" This appearance will definitely show the Holy Lord the love of the adult! ”
"The prime minister praised it falsely, and the lower officials were terrified, and it was the lower officials' duty to share their worries for the saint and the prime minister. The lower officials must do their best, "Lord Zuo smiled brightly.
"I heard that there were several more cases last night, and I haven't had time to inquire about the progress of the case!" Seeing his humble attitude, Li Chenghai sneered in his heart and took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, "The poison of this animal has not been found out until now, and I don't know what the people of Dali Division are eating!" ”
"yes. The Holy One ordered seven days to solve the case, and it had already been four days. I want to come to Ann-sama in a hurry, no?"
"I heard that this young veterinarian hall is called Providence Zhai? Their young beasts were all captured from Ta Country, and they were quite popular with the ladies and ladies in the city. Now it seems that this young veterinarian is the most suspicious. This minister once recommended Yong'an Division to the Holy Lord to cooperate in the investigation of the case, and I don't know what clues Lord Yuan Gang found? ”
When Li Chenghai put down the tea bowl, Yuan Gang just entered the court room.
When he heard Li Chenghai's words, his heart tightened.
When Yong'anji's brothers returned to the city last night, it was already a long time later.
They told him everything that had happened in the Gathering Mountain.
That Lin Tianshen and the red-eyed jade beast Jiayin had already succeeded, but they fell for the trick, and now,
He was worried about how to return to the saint at the moment, and happened to hear Li Chenghai's words again.
I'm afraid that he has already gotten the news and wants to embarrass Yong'ansi!
At the moment, I can only come forward to salute him.
"Xiaguan Yuan has just seen the prime minister!"
"Benxiang was still mentioning you to Lord Zuo just now? How did you get any clues? I heard that Ling Mei had chased out of the city to arrest Lin Tianshen of Providence. This Lin Gongzi came to Zhaocheng from Taguo to run the baby beast business, maybe he is the mastermind of the case? ”
Li Chenghai looked at him and smiled faintly, "If Sister Ling catches him back, it will be a great achievement!" When Lord Yuan Zhen returns, he will definitely receive a holy reward. When the time comes、Yongan Division、"
He didn't say anything after that, only looked at Yuan Gang with a chill in his eyes.
Yuan Gang understood what he meant, his face was not in a hurry, and he saluted slightly and said, "The Prime Minister is in charge of every day, and he is still concerned about the affairs of Yong'an Division, Yuan Gang deeply admires!" Last night, Yong'an Division did have news back, Yuan Gang didn't dare to deceive the Holy Lord, and he would definitely reply truthfully! ”
"In this way, the true appearance will be at ease!" Li Chenghai glanced at him and lowered his head to drink tea.
The morning light is faint and the bells are melodious.
The bell rang at the right moment, reminding the ministers that they should pack up and go to the Zhaozheng Palace.
When Li Chenghai led a group of ministers out of the court room to the Zhaozheng Palace, Lord An and Master Rong also happened to rush to the back of the team.
Li Chenghai looked at them and said with a smile in his eyes, "I heard about the things in Zhaocheng last night, and the two adults worked hard. ”
"Xiangye has won the award, and the two of us are terrified," Master Rong glanced at him and hurriedly returned the salute.
"Wait until you see the Holy Lord, you two have to play a good back, otherwise," he said with a sneer.
Master An and Master Rong looked at each other, bowing their heads in their hearts uneasy.
They were busy all night last night, and finally arranged the affairs in the house of Deacon He of Nanzhen Rensi, and the body of the young lady was taken to the autopsy room of Dali Division. Lao Yang's autopsy concluded that he died of poisoning, which is the same as the previous cases. The affairs of the other two families were also dealt with by officials.
At two o'clock today, the two of them wrote down the fold, prepared to truthfully state the case, and asked the Holy Lord to deal with the young beasts in Zhaocheng. Unexpectedly, I was almost late in a hurry. caused Li Chenghai to intimidate and ridicule.
At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and the golden tiles on the top of the temple shone a little in the morning light.
This splendid Zhaozheng Hall is the largest palace in the imperial palace.
It was here that the emperors of all dynasties handled government affairs. The enthronement of the Emperor of Nature was also held here!
Emperor Hui, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair in the middle of the main hall, condescending and majestic!
The ministers rushed in. According to the rank of the official, they are arranged neatly, and the civil and military classes are lined up on both sides.
