Chapter Forty-Six: Suicide in fear of sin
"Exactly! The general guarding the city may have noticed something unusual last night, and had committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine overnight, and even his family members were all killed and died overnight, and now he asked the prince to go over and investigate. ”
After Liu Jun heard this, his back was cold.
knew that according to Zhang Zhenglu's character, he would never sit still, but he didn't expect the other party's methods to be so cruel and kill a family.
When Liu Jun arrived, he saw a bunch of people dressed in black, lying on a pile of broken grass, and the suspect was also blue at this time and looked like he had lost a little breath.
"When did this happen?"
"Just last night, I sensed a kind of want to report to you, but I was afraid that the other party would be in a hurry and do something, so I sent someone to follow, but the other party also knew that he was the end of the crossbow, so he ......"
When Li Ning said this, he had a feeling that he couldn't go on, as if he felt sad watching the fall of so many lives.
"Master Li has arrived."
Before the voice of the little guy who came to report fell, he only heard Zhang Zhenglu pushing him away very arrogantly, and his hurried steps were coming in this direction.
"Get out of the way!"
Zhang Zhenglu broke away all the crowd and rushed over, and when he saw the corpses lying on the ground, his breathing slowed down involuntarily.
"This ...... So many people died......"
Listening to the trembling tone of the other party, Liu Jun's scrutiny of him did not relax.
"Yes, so many people died overnight, and this king feels cold when he looks at it."
Liu Jun's eyes were about to see through the other party, but Zhang Zhenglu was still almost unsteady.
Liu Junda has an expression of looking at you, looking at the other party, Zhang Zhenglu's hand is also stubbornly touching his forehead and closing his eyes.
"I didn't expect that these people would dare to point fingers at the affairs of the court, and even wanted to murder the emperor, and they deserved to die, but so many lives, it's a pity after all."
Liu Jun had already let Liu Zitao touch these corpses just now, and they all looked like they had just died not long ago, Zhang Zhenglu This rabbit is in a hurry and has learned to bite.
Seeing that he had been using the reason that he could not find the murderer, there was no movement of people up and down Lin'an City, and Zhang Zhenglu's people could not enter or leave the city, so he came up with a way to let people take the blame.
Liu Jun watched the other party's performance and didn't speak, Li Ning saw this and hurriedly walked to Zhang Zhenglu's side and began to comfort him, saying that it was just a scene that would often be said in the officialdom, and Liu Jun didn't take it to heart.
"Lord Wang, the real culprit of the matter, since it has been found out, then we ...... next"
After Li Ning looked at Zhang Zhenglu's state a little better, the two exchanged a look, and hurriedly walked to Liu Jun's side to speak.
"Although the truth of the matter has been discovered, these things are far from being settled......
can have such control, be able to control Zhang Zhenglu Liu Jun, and don't want to let go of the other party so easily, so he was still a little hesitant, but Zhang Zhenglu took the words.
"When I came all the way just now, there were a lot of expensive people on both sides of the road, presumably I already knew that the truth had been found out today, if Lin'an City was not unsealed, I am afraid that the people would be even more complaining."
"Everything will wait until the emperor has returned."
Liu Jun's expression was a little embarrassed, but more impatient, but Zhang Zhenglu's tone instantly became light.
"Yes, yes, the regent is right, then let's hurry up and report to the emperor! ”
The three of them entered the palace in a mighty way, and only the people on the pure side knew about it, but Liu Jun walked on the way to the palace, and saw that the people of the entire Lin'an City seemed to know about it, and they all poked their heads out one by one.
Liu Zitao sat in front of Liu Jun and drove the carriage, and his eyes were wandering everywhere he went.
As soon as the three of them walked into the palace, they learned that the emperor and the empress dowager were enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden at this time.
"It's up to the regent to have the final say, usually we from the outer city have to avoid suspicion if we want to enter the imperial garden, but today with the regent, we can straighten our backs once."
For Zhang Zhenglu's words, Liu Jun was directly in a state of deafness, and his eyes were indifferent and willing to stride inside.
When the Empress Dowager heard this, the regent actually came with the other two people, and her face was immediately not very good.
However, the little emperor asked people to find the nearest pavilion, and the two of them sat there steadily, waiting for a group of people to come and pay their respects.
"See the Emperor, the Queen Mother."
"Get up."
The Empress Dowager sat above the emperor, looking at the two kneeling and Liu Jun who was standing, with deep eyes.
"Why did the three of you come to the palace together in a hurry today? That's very rare. ”
"A strange thing happened today, and I came to report to the Empress Dowager, the emperor."
"Say".
The Queen Mother's head leaned back slightly, and the sound of the collision of pearls and emeralds on her head was particularly good.
"Some time ago, the suicide case of the Regent's Palace and the Imperial Palace has already been revealed, and the murderer has committed suicide in fear of the crime, and I ask the emperor and the empress dowager to have an idea."
"Now that you've committed suicide, what else do you need to do?"
The emperor, who had not spoken, finally spoke.
"Although all those criminals have committed suicide in fear of crime, Lin'an City has been quitting smoking during this time, and without the emperor's will, I am afraid that the people still dare not go out of the city."
Lin'an City is under martial law up and down, this is what Liu Jun means.
Now it's about myself.
"I don't know what Uncle Erhuang thinks".
"Your Majesty, the regent feels that there are some things that have not been done yet, and it is reasonable that he cannot unseal Lin'an City, but the people inside and outside the city can't wait."
"Please the Empress Dowager Mingjian!"
Zhang Zhenglu didn't fail to see the little emperor's partiality towards Liu Jun, so after finishing speaking, he called out a few times that the empress dowager was wise.
It's hard for the Queen Mother to pretend that she can't hear.
"This kind of thing is really not very easy to handle, so let's listen to what the emperor says."
Although the power was handed over to the emperor, the empress dowager's scrutiny of Liu Jun never stopped.
"During this time, the court has always been calm, and I guess there is also the reason why the regent is in charge of the court, so let's listen to what the regent says?"
Liu Jun put his hands behind his back, watching everyone focus their eyes on himself.
