Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Three Clans
Two days later, Shen Lian followed Tie Ruthless into the palace to report the case to the emperor.
As in the previous ones, after passing through layers of levels, we finally arrived at the Imperial Study.
What is different is that now Shen Lian dares to lift the curtain slightly and secretly observe the palace maids passing by outside.
Not to mention, there are a few who are really beautiful, especially those slender legs, which make Shen Lian can't help but think of Yunshuang Niangzi.
Outside the imperial study, the chief eunuch was waiting here early.
Seeing the arrival of Tie Ruthless and Shen Lian, the chief eunuch immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Lord Tie, Lord Shen, our family has been waiting for a long time."
Tie nodded ruthlessly and greeted the chief eunuch.
Shen Lian replied respectfully and said, "The lower official has seen the eunuch. ”
"Huh." The chief eunuch smiled, and immediately arched his hand to the two of them, making a gesture of inviting in, "Let's go in and see Your Majesty." ”
"Eunuch, please." Iron said ruthlessly.
"Iron Lord, please." The chief eunuch said.
"Eunuch, please." Iron said ruthlessly.
"Iron Lord, please." The chief eunuch said.
Hehe, you two and I are pretending to be hairy.
Shen Lian complained in his heart.
In the end, it was the chief eunuch who took the lead in entering the imperial study, Tie ruthlessly followed behind, and Shen Lian last.
"Your Majesty, Lord Tie and Lord Shen have arrived." The chief eunuch walked to the emperor's side, bowed down, and said softly, for fear of disturbing the emperor who was reviewing the folds.
"Hmm." The emperor nodded slightly and continued to review the folds.
Shen Lian was a little nervous, glanced at it secretly, and said in his heart: Every time I come here, the emperor is watching the twists and turns, and it is not easy for the dragon chair to sit up.
In comparison, Tie Ruthless is much more free and easy, he holds his hands behind his back, his eyes look east and west, and he doesn't know what he is thinking in his heart.
After a while, the emperor finished reading the fold in his hand, put it aside, slowly raised his head, looked at the two people in front of him, and said with a smile: "The two Aiqing have been waiting for a long time. ”
"Get used to it." Iron said casually.
I.... Sub-Ao....
Shen Lian almost fell down in fright when he heard Tie ruthlessly answer beside him.
So just?
Just command you to find your own death, don't pull me, it's the emperor on the other side.
"Give a seat."
The emperor didn't care, as if he hadn't heard.
Immediately afterwards, the two little eunuchs hurriedly moved two chairs into the imperial study and placed them directly opposite the emperor's dragon case, three or four meters apart.
Tie ruthlessly walked forward and sat down, Shen Lian was stunned in place, and hurriedly followed.
The throne in front of the emperor is a great honor, and when I go back, I can find Jin Yuze and them to blow it.
Shen Lian was a little excited.
"Tell me, what's going on?" The emperor picked up another notebook and asked questions while reading it, as if he didn't care about the case at all.
The chief eunuch has been standing silently behind the emperor's side, looking at his nose and his nose at his heart.
"Your Majesty, Shen Lian is the host, let him talk about it." Tie ruthlessly looked at the emperor who was working hard to write, and said lightly.
"Hmm." The emperor nodded.
With the emperor's permission, Shen Lian and Tie ruthlessly glanced at each other, and the latter nodded to him.
Shen Lian took a deep breath, and then took a few deep breaths to calm his nervous emotions.
This is the first time he has directly reported the case to the emperor, and the last case of Concubine Xuan was reported by the little eunuch Sandezi and the chief eunuch, and Shen Lian was just summoned to the palace to receive the reward.
He muttered for a moment, muttering words.
"Your Majesty, in the case of the altar explosion, Weichen has found out that Wang Dong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was bewitched by the demon clan and bought off some of the officials who participated in the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky."
"The specific situation, is this .........."
Shen Lian earnestly reported the case, striving to put aside his personal emotions and restore the truth.
The emperor's expression was originally calm, but as he listened, his brows gradually furrowed, especially when Shen Lian said that there were a total of one hundred and thirty-six officials involved in the case, this Ninety-Five Venerable could no longer face it calmly.
He raised his head suddenly, as if a fine light shot out of his eyes, staring at Shen Lian who was reporting.
Looking at each other, Shen Lian's heart suddenly shrank, and his voice trembled slightly.
It's bad, the emperor is angry, shouldn't I tell the truth?
He stole a glance at Iron Ruthless next to him with his peripheral vision.
Tie Ruthless sat there with a faint smile on his face, unable to see what was going on in his heart.
"Your Majesty, this is the case, there are confessions from Wang Dong, Zhang Lin and others, and the rest of the people involved in the case, except for those who were killed on the spot, have issued wanted warrants and are being arrested one by one."
After Shen Lian finished reporting, he could feel his heart beating so fast that it almost popped out of his mouth.
The chief eunuch was an old fritter, standing motionless, and the expression on his face had never changed, as if he hadn't heard Shen Lian's words just now.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair, his face full of shock.
After half a ring, the emperor spoke: "Ruthless, tell me your opinion." ”
"The evidence is like a mountain, fornicating with the demon clan, and the three clans should be punished according to the law."
Iron ruthless didn't beat around the bush and said the answer directly.
The emperor nodded and agreed: "This matter will be handled by the Shadow Secret Guard and the Three Law Divisions, and all the people involved in the case will be punished by the three clans." ”
What?
Shen Lian was shocked, although he had long thought that this would be the result, but when he heard the emperor's decree with his own ears, he still couldn't accept it.
There are 136 people involved in the case, all of whom are punished by the three clans, so how many people have to be killed!
"Two Aiqing, stand down, I'm tired."
After speaking, the emperor got up, and with the support of the chief eunuch, he left the imperial study and returned to the palace.
"Let's go back too, some of them are busy." After sending the emperor away, Tie ruthlessly shook his sleeves and said to Shen Lian beside him.
Walking out of the imperial study and getting into the carriage, Tie Wuru saw that Shen Lian on the other side seemed to have something to say, but he stopped talking, as if he was doing a psychological struggle.
Tie ruthlessly asked, "What do you have to say?" ”
"Commander, in fact, some of them don't know that this matter involves the demon clan, these people just received the silver from their superiors, if they all punish the three clans, isn't it appropriate?" Shen Lian's tone was full of pity.
Tie ruthlessly shook his head and corrected Shen Lian's thoughts: "Remember, the emperor's perspective on the problem is different from ours, in the emperor's opinion, these people can blow up the altar for silver today, and they may overthrow the country for other interests tomorrow, so the emperor must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and at the same time kill the chickens and monkeys, and deter the princes in the court." ”
Shen Lian nodded as if he didn't understand.
Tie Ruthless is right, the emperor doesn't care what your specific reason is, as long as there is a possibility of threatening the Jiangshan Society, he will definitely kill him.
But it's good to just kill the parties, punish the three clans, how many innocent people will be buried with them?
Shen Lian felt uncomfortable, after all, he investigated the case.
The death sentence of these innocent people has something to do with him to some extent.
Tie ruthlessly saw Shen Lian's thoughts, patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief: "You think too much, the law is like this, it is like this in all dynasties, you can't change it." ”
