Chapter 238: Counterattack
Everyone screamed in terror.
In the midst of the chaos, the sound of weapons fighting was heard outside the courtyard.
King Rui shouted and asked, "What happened?" β
An attendant hurriedly came in and replied, "Your Majesty, there are assassins!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people broke into the main house, and then broke into the inner house.
When King Rui saw the two people taking the lead, his eyes shrank slightly, "It's you?" β
"I'm sorry, Brother Huang!" King Ning, who was missing one eye, shouted left and right, "Take down the monarch killer Li Rui!" β
King Rui also shouted, "Bold, you dare to rebel? β
King Ning sneered, "If you don't have the right position, everyone can punish you!" β
Bai Eucalyptus and Zhou Heihu and his entourage, who came with them, rushed over and tied up King Rui.
"Escort, escortβ" King Rui shouted in fright.
But inside and outside the courtyard, where are there any people from King Rui?
The Ouchi guards had already been controlled by Bai Eucalyptus and King Ning's people who had been ambushed in advance.
King Ning called two more people to come and tied up Queen Mu, who was unconscious on the bed.
"Take the two away!" Bai Eucalyptus waved his hand at the entourage.
.
On this day in the capital, something big happened.
After the emperor and the empress went to Daeunji Temple, they disappeared.
King Ning, who was wanted by the emperor, actually rode together with Zongren's order of Zongrensi, and swaggered into the gate of the capital with a team of people and horses.
Soon after the two entered the city gate, another group of men and horses and several carriages entered the city in a mighty way.
The city gate soldiers guarding the gate, seeing this situation, were confused, and whispered to the leader.
"Head, what's going on? King Ning actually dared to enter the capital? Isn't he afraid that he will be caught and beheaded by the emperor? β
"Shhhh The leader glanced left and right, and whispered, "Idiot, didn't you see Zong Ling walking with King Ning?" Xu was allowed by the emperor to return to the capital! β
Another person said, "Who is the emperor and influences us to be soldiers at the city gate to get a thousand children and eight hundred a month?" As long as there is a lot of money per month, who cares who is the emperor? Besides, there was no notice to arrest us! I arrested King Ning four years ago, but now I don't say it. β
Several people have a point in saying this.
So, everyone should not have seen it.
No one checks it anymore.
.
In the afternoon of this day, the evening bells of the palace rang.
The courtiers had a premonition that something big would happen, so they put on court clothes and entered the main hall of the palace.
To their surprise, there stood Prince Shen, who had been dead for many years, and King Ning, who had disappeared for four years and suddenly appeared.
And King Rui, who was still the emperor this morning, was tied to the ground.
Empress Mu had been rescued, and she sat on the ground with a pale face, looking at everything around her in trepidation.
"Someone, escort, escort!" She shouted hysterically.
But to her surprise, no one came out.
Because inside and outside the main hall, they were all controlled by King Ning and Li Shen's people.
On the contrary, it was King Rui, who glanced at everyone with a calm expression, and snorted coldly.
Prime Minister Liu Cheng calmed down, stepped forward, and asked King Ning and Li Shen, "Is this ...... What's going on? β
He knew in his heart that this was another royal fight.
He had to figure out the current situation before he could take sides.
"What's going on? Hum! Back then, you blind things framed this king and killed Prince Shen, but isn't Prince Shen standing here here? Who killed the 'prince' in the East Palace? Shen'er has something to tell you! β
After speaking, he glared coldly at King Rui and Queen Mu.
Li Shen nodded at Prime Minister Liu Cheng and said, "Old Prime Minister, this palace is looking for you to help me, about King Rui's killing of the former emperor and framing King Ning, as well as the killing of the former queen by Queen Mu, I want to ask the old prime minister to investigate." β
He took out a file from his sleeve, handed it to Prime Minister Liu Cheng, and said to Bai Ping, who was standing behind him, "Bring the witnesses!" β
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Soon, several people were pushed to the main hall and knelt.
When everyone saw these people, they whispered.
The people brought up included the prefect of Shangzhou, the prefect of Shangzhou, and the director of Zhou, who was sent to Dali Temple by the prefect of Wang, who was in charge of grain tax, as well as the chief of the palace guard, Cui Shilang, and Fu Sanniang.
Fu Sanniang saw so many nobles for the first time, and she didn't know where to look first.
She wanted to show a smile, but when she saw that everyone was serious, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to laugh again.
Hearing Li Shen say that she was happy to see King Rui, she never expected that she was here to expose King Rui.
Gotta whoever has the big fist she is aiming at.
Ruiwang, a dog man, love whoever you want.
She didn't want it.
Fu Sanniang's eyes turned on the ministers, and then turned to King Ning, who was blinded by King Rui.
She smiled slyly and lowered her eyes.
In addition, there were a few palace people who brought it up.
Two old mothers and an old chamberlain, as well as an old lady who appeared even though he died.
When Queen Mu saw these people, her pupils widened, and her face turned pale.
Prime Minister Liu looked at the file, and his expression gradually changed.
Several courtiers standing beside him stretched out their heads to look over.
Gradually, their faces changed.
"Old Prime Minister, have you finished reading it? Let's finish the trial. Li Shen said.
"Please order Lord Zong to read the papers!" Prime Minister Liu Cheng said to the Sect Commander of the Li Clan's Sect Division, who was standing behind him.
Boyang Hou had known about this matter for a long time, he was a side branch, and he couldn't control the fight between these people.
Push him out to administer justice, and he will act according to the evidence.
Besides, he's also afraid of King Ning!
I hid for four years and was not caught, and I came back to capture King Rui, who became the emperor, who can afford to provoke this?
Boyang Hou took the file, read it and said, "The witness Wang Tong'an, the prefect of Shangzhou, stepped forward!" β
The prefect of the king stepped forward in a panic, "The minister is here." β
"How did you be bewitched by King Rui and help King Rui rebel with the grain tax? Speak! Boyang Hou shouted.
Sweat broke down in the forehead of the prefect Wang, and he explained everything that happened four years ago.
To be exact, six years ago, when the prefect of Wang was not a prefect but only the governor of Shangzhou, he was found by King Rui and gave him a sum of money, so that he could find a way to get grain and tax silver from Shangzhou Tun.
Governor Wang took a reckless step and deducted money and grain from one or two villages in each township, so that there was a case of confusion in the numbers of public and private fields in Qinjia Village.
Later, the matter was known to Zhou Jishun.
Zhou Jishun didn't know that it was the prefect Wang who was secretly asking someone to do something, and suggested that the prefect Wang investigate the main envoy behind it.
The prefect of Wang was afraid that if things went out, he would be blamed by King Rui, so he arrested Zhou Jishun and sent him to Dali Temple in the capital.
Who would have thought that the matter would be known to Li Shen, the "dead prince".
Then, Zhou Jishun and Cui Shilang also talked about taxes and grains, which was completely consistent with what Wang Zhifu said.
Fu Sanniang handed over the letter to King Rui that she had stolen from Cui Shilang, and told him some secrets of King Rui's past.
When King Rui saw her, he gritted his teeth in anger. (End of chapter)
