"The sinner is too solemn, kneel down and take the order!"

Taisu was talking with Cun Zhao in the study, when he suddenly heard a loud noise like a thunderbolt, the door of the room opened, and more than a dozen soldiers with swords strode in, quickly lined up on both sides of them, but stared closely at the general in front of him - that person was dressed in armor, mighty and tall, holding a shaft of holy decree, his eyes were full of fierce light, it was the Beiying Division Forbidden Shi Xiushen.

Taisu shuddered, his whole face seemed to freeze, and he didn't dare to move, but just looked at him directly: "Shi Siban, the old man is the uncle of His Majesty the Emperor, what kind of identity are you, and you dare to lead troops to arrest me?" It's disrespectful! ”

Shi Xiushen said with a straight face: "A criminal, he still dares to be hard-mouthed!" Don't you even want to admit the emperor's decree? ”

Taisu was immediately annoyed: "It's clear that you are deceiving the king, and this edict is not from the emperor's heart!" I don't bow my head before you, a traitor! ”

Shi Xiu listened carefully, and didn't want to waste his tongue on him anymore, so he calmly gave the soldiers a look, and everyone rushed up to restrain Tai Su to death.

Taisu still refused, yelled and scolded, and even waved his hand to knock over the tea bowl, but he was still torn off the chair by the soldiers, forced to kneel on the ground; Cun Zhao wanted to stop it, but was pulled away by several other people, and there was no support.

Shi Xiushen immediately unfolded the holy decree and read it quickly: "It is really hateful for Taisu to falsely spread the holy decree, exploit the people, and attract slander from all over the world for the Son of Heaven, so as to make his own profits!" Now he should be sent to prison, the trial is correct, and Ling Chi will be executed. ”

Cun Zhao listened, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly broke away from the hands behind him and knelt down in front of Shi Xiushen: "Shi Siban, listen to me, the old emperor's uncle has been wronged, there is nothing to do, please read it for the sake of colleagues for many years, and open up the net!" ”

"You don't have to put on a red face for Lao Tzu here," Shi Xiushen's eyes were extremely cold, "What are you doing with such a crooked mind?" Tell you, you can't escape! Come on, take this accomplice named Cunzhao together and hand it over to Dali Temple for interrogation! ”

Cun Zhao didn't have time to plead, and he followed Taisu's trembling footsteps and was invited out of the study.

In the huge prison, the life was heavy, the lights were turned on, and the darkness that could not be dispelled surrounded the surroundings, and it was so overwhelming that people could not breathe. The footsteps of the Hunan people whispered on the damp ground, and he did not hold the lamp, as if he intended to maintain the atmosphere of solemnity. He stopped on a wide flat ground, and before he met was set up several tables in the shape of a 'door', facing two dusty benches, and a black brick wall with all kinds of torture instruments hanging on the wall.

"You're one step ahead of me," Guo Xiang walked around the table and saluted a thin official, "I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

The man walked out of the darkness, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and laughed dryly: "The emperor ordered me to come to your Dali Temple, how can this official be neglected?" Now that I'm here, I'm not familiar with life, thanks to Siqing's words. ”

Guo Xiang forced a smile, and replied with his chin bowed: "You are too modest, it should be adults who teach the late students." Don't look at the prefect of Dali Temple, the matter of convicting the prisoner is still good at it, and he can see it clearly. With that, he raised his eyes and looked at the Lord Ye who was in both departments.

Because of the quarrel the day before yesterday, Ye Yongjia was disgusted to see him, and when he heard this, he was full of anger in his heart, but looking around at the many outsiders sitting next to him, he had to pretend that nothing had happened: "You are too flattering to me." Ye is just respectful of his orders, mediocre and inactive, but Siqing can strictly check the confession and excerpt it properly, don't the ministers appreciate your fairness and justice? He is worthy of being a student of Master Chen. ”

Guo Xiangren sneered, then stopped talking to him, turned around and instructed the secretary: "You go outside and have a look, why haven't you mentioned the two prisoners?" Stop by the lobby and grab a pot of tea. ”

The secretary took the order to go out, and after a while, he escorted Taisu and Cunzhao to the party, both of whom were wearing wooden shackles and kneeling honestly on the wooden bench.

"Taisu, death is on the verge of death, what else do you have to say?" Guo Xiangren took the tea made by the secretary office and took a sip gently, "If I can provide more people, I can beg Your Majesty to spare you for this great sin." ”

"I, I, this ......" Tai Su's face was covered with beads of sweat, and he stammered for a while, not knowing how to justify.

"Can I speak for Uncle Huang?" Cun Zhao tilted his head and glanced at Tai Su, and then asked Xiang Daodao.

"Yes," the Hunan man drank the tea and swallowed his saliva, "but remember, he is not an imperial uncle now!" ”

"I don't think so," Cun Zhao suddenly but firmly looked at the Hunan people, "as long as there is one person who recognizes him as the current imperial uncle, then this title cannot be deprived!" ”

Guo Xiangren's hand had just brought the tea bowl to his mouth, and when he heard this paragraph, his hand stopped. He seemed to be contemplating, but it was only for a moment before he returned to his original form, and asked him with a smile, "Who is that?" ”

"It's the prince of the prison country!"

Cun Zhao's sonorous and powerful voice was like a lightning bolt piercing the night, and the prison guards were dumbfounded, and the clerk who was writing the confession was also shocked, and the pen in his hand accidentally fell, staining a large piece of black ink on the white paper.

"You go to another piece of paper," Guoxiang people looked like a flat lake, and glanced at the book office with a faint glance, "that one is thrown away." ”

"Yes......"

Seeing that the clerk left the table in a hurry, the Hunan people slowly turned their heads: "Lord Ye, according to the holy decree, it is up to you to convict." Tell me, is that a big rebellion? As...... Executed together with Cunzhao? ”

As soon as the name of the prince came out, it really made Ye Yongjia's heartstrings tighten. As soon as he heard this name, he immediately remembered the majestic imperial power, which was like a mountain of thousands of feet, looking up at the past, and not even looking at the top of the mountain. If you fight against it, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. But the mountain was coming to him step by step, getting closer and closer, and was about to crash into one place. He could have rebuked Cun Zhao's great rebellion and covered up this sudden incident, so that it would still be beneficial to him.

But the power possessed by the crown prince of the prison country could completely cut off his lifeline and prevent him from taking a single step. This time we might be able to win, but what about next time? The drastic new policy must not be what this prince wants to see, he can still manipulate the court, and he can still suppress him...... He looked at the mountain more and more clearly, and his thoughts became firm, and he stopped looking ahead and backwards, and was ready to crash into it head-on.

"Whether it's a big rebellion or not, we need to listen to how he explains," Ye Yongjia said, "Let the clerk continue to remember, and let the criminals continue to speak!" ”
