Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Storm is Treacherous

The turmoil is treacherous

The threshold of Dali Temple is about to be broken.

There are all kinds of people who come, including the big officials who look righteous and awe-inspiring on weekdays, and the little officials with thieves and rat eyes.

But they all ate a closed door without exception, no matter who came, it was that sentence, Luo Shaohua, the secretary of Dali Temple, was not there, and the disposal of the suspect Chai Xintong was put on hold for the time being, and after Luo Shaohua, the secretary of Dali Temple, came back, and then the three envoys were interrogated. As for Chai Xintong now, no one is allowed to visit.

As soon as this order was given, even the King of Jin was closed.

The so-called triage of the three envoys is the tripartite trial conducted by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Supervision Institute at the same time.

Dali Temple must have Dali Temple Siqing come forward, and the Criminal Department is generally the Criminal Department of Shangshu or the Criminal Department of the Lang to participate in the whole process, and finally the Supervision Institute is generally personally participated by one or two of its leaders.

After all, the case that wants to alarm the three envoys will not be a small case.

The three highest criminal law and supervision agencies of the whole dynasty handle the case together, and the results are drawn up by the three parties, and if the three parties have objections, they will be directly reported to the Holy Emperor by the Dali Temple, waiting for the Holy Emperor's ruling.

Xu Changan remembered that he was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the Hou Mansion, and Kong Dewei and He Chen were also frowning, their faces full of worry, they didn't know why they hadn't seen each other for seven days, and this Chai Xintong would become an assassin.

In every sense of the word, this is impossible.

Why would a person from the Middle Realm of Huixi assassinate the Holy Emperor of the Great Grandmaster, and what was the purpose of Chai Xintong's assassination of the Holy Emperor? Because Fan Jiuxian, even if it was because of Fan Jiuxian, he should also assassinate the Great Prince, after all, the latter was easier to do.

These simple doubts can almost show that Chai Xintong was used and framed, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but these cannot be evidence.

No matter which dynasty or generation, the case is handled with emphasis on evidence and the scene.

The evidence is that the dagger was fed with poison, and after testing, even if it was poisoned in the hands of a grandmaster-level master, it would make them unable to cultivate for ten days and half a month. Needless to say, at the ceremony, he was arrested in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

Xu Changan went out angrily, he didn't believe that Chai Xintong would be so stupid.

He walked towards the Jin Palace, and the housekeeper of the Jin Palace, naturally knew Xu Changan, and when he saw that it was him, he didn't stop him.

Xu Changan rushed to the front of the hall with a familiar car, and King Jin was wearing a python robe and drinking tea.

When King Jin saw Xu Changan coming, he raised his eyelids, did not speak, and continued to gently hold the tea with the lid of the teacup, and bursts of mist dispersed along with the fragrance of tea.

With a "poof", Xu Changan knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and his expression was serious.

"Stand up and speak!" King Jin raised his eyelids again.

Xu Changan stood up and stood in the hall with some embarrassment.

"Sit. King Jin said lightly, Xu Changan had never seen such a cold King of Jin, and there was a faint bad omen in his heart.

Xu Changan was wearing a crown robe, which was a little cumbersome and heavy, he pulled up the long skirt of the robe and sat down.

King Jin didn't pour him tea, didn't even look at him, and said: "If you have anything to say, if you can help and should help, I will help; ”

This sentence suffocated Xu Changan's stomach full of resentment that he was about to vent.

Xu Changan lowered his head, a little aggrieved, and endured quite uncomfortable.

Eventually, he stood up with a "take-off".

"His Royal Highness King Jin, please!" he said ruthlessly.

"Chai Xintong's personality I know, he will never do this, he has no reason to assassinate the Holy Emperor, he is a Huixi Realm, why should he assassinate the Holy Emperor. This clear-eyed person can see that this is a frame-up!" Xu Changan gasped, his eyes slightly red.

King Jin still sat steadily, gently sipping his tea.

"His Royal Highness King Jin!"

King Jin glanced at him, put down the teacup, and said slowly, "And then?"

"Then?" Xu Changan was a little puzzled, was there anything else?

"Isn't he the one who was caught red-handed? He, a little gentleman from the Confucius Temple, why did he lurk to the Holy Emperor's side?"

King Jin's face was solemn, and he stared at Xu Changan tightly.

"He ......" Xu Changan just wanted to speak, but King Jin snorted coldly, stood up, pointed at Xu Changan and shouted angrily: "Xu Changan, don't think that you have won a battle, you can be lawless by relying on your father's shadow!"

"Do you know what he is doing? What do you show to prove it, just with your Xu Changan's empty mouth and white teeth, people will have to listen to you in Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Supervision Yuan? Who do you think you are, before you come up with evidence, you'd better not shout everywhere!"

Xu Changan was stunned for a moment, a little unconvinced.

"You said that he was framed, then you Xu Changan told me, who framed him, what evidence is there, as long as you can get it, Lao Tzu just doesn't want this python robe, and he will help you fight to the end!" King Jin's fingers kept trembling, almost hitting the door of his head.

King Jin shook his sleeves, looking extremely angry, and kept panting in his nose.

He pointed his finger at Xu Changan and said, "I warn you, you'd better leave this matter alone!"

"Can ......" Xu Changan just said the word "can", and saw King Jin's eyes as big as copper bells, and his face was full of anger.

"Don't think that Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Supervision Yuan don't know if this Chai Xintong likes the future princess Fan Jiuxian, and complains that the royal family has taken away his lover, and you are talking about whether it is his purpose;

Xu Changan was stunned, he really didn't know the one in the back.

"You say, why do you help him explain, rely on your mouth? With you Xu Changan believing him Chai Xintong, you take a personality guarantee?"

King Jin sneered, patted his face lightly and said, "Your personality and trust are not worth mentioning!"

Xu Changan was silent, as if he had been poured a large basin of cold water from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, pouring a mouthful of cold water.

King Jin looked at him, sighed, and his tone became softer.

"Remember, don't get involved in this matter until there is no evidence. ”

Xu Changan bit his mouth and nodded with difficulty.

"Let's go!" King Jin waved his sleeves and issued an eviction order.

For the first time, Xu Changan felt that his feet were so heavy, so heavy that he could barely lift them, he believed in Chai Xintong, but King Jin was right, his trust was worthless.

He knew his friend wouldn't do such a stupid thing, but he couldn't prove it.

He didn't know how he got back to the Hou Mansion, let alone how he was lying on the bed.

Maybe this is the real everyone, when we encounter something we can't do anything about, we always like to lie in bed and wake up, it turns out that everything is a dream.

As soon as Xu Changan left, the little master walked out of the back hall.

King Jin looked at the little master, shook his head slowly, the two sat down, and King Jin poured a cup of tea for the little master.

"The first time I felt that my python robe was useless, I went to Dali Temple, and was blocked by others, and a guard pointed at me and said, don't talk about python robes, even the princes wearing four-clawed dragon robes come, it's the same!"

The little master glanced at the cup of tea, and he, who had always loved tea, suddenly lost his interest in tasting tea.

"Thank you. ”

King Jin patted him on the shoulder, sighed and said, "What do you say thank you, we have known each other for so many years, there is no need for this." Speaking from the heart, what I said to Xu Changan just now wasn't it to myself?"

King Jin sighed and looked at the little master.

"We have known each other for so many years, I can trust you, you say that you are a good person, I naturally believe in your vision, and I believe that he will not be so stupid. Although the people in your Confucius Temple sometimes seem to be a bit stupid and will do some kind of bullshit to educate bandits, but this is not the same stupidity, and I also believe in the little guy surnamed Chai. But this is in the Holy Pilgrimage, and you have to speak with evidence!"

The little master looked out of the door in a daze, as if he hadn't heard King Jin's words.

After a while, the little master sighed faintly and said, "Actually, it's our master's temple that can't stand him." ”

King Jin was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What do you mean by this, is it a game made by the Holy Emperor?" His voice was extremely low, and his expression was very solemn.

The little master shook his head and said, "Do you look down on your brother-in-law, a person who can become a holy emperor will not do such a petty thing." ”

Looking at King Jin's puzzled face, the little master continued: "This was not done by the Holy Emperor, but he wanted to see the reactions of all parties. Otherwise, with your python robe, where is it better than the four-clawed dragon robe of the great prince? This Chai Xintong was arrested, hundreds of officials testified, and the stolen goods were obtained, even if he killed my master temple on the spot, he had nothing to say, but the Holy Emperor only temporarily detained him in Dali Temple, and what is even more incomprehensible is that this Dali Temple Qing Luo Shaohua left Chang'an in a few hours and went out on business?"

King Jin cautiously followed his words.

"You mean, the Holy Emperor wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"

The little master glanced at him, sighed and said, "Master, his old man is about to step down, even if he doesn't sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, it would be better to get something out." ”

When King Jin heard him say this, he couldn't help but shudder, and looked at the little master with some concern.

"What about you?"

"Don't worry, Confucius Temple has not experienced any storms, as long as the master and his old man are still there, no matter whether he is the master or not, no one dares to touch the Confucius Temple. ”

......

Fengming Pavilion.

The eldest prince's brows furrowed, and Zhan Nan sat beside him.

Feng Ming Pavilion was just the two of them at this time, and the eldest prince stood up with his hands behind his back and pursed his lips.

He walked up to Zhan Nan and stretched out his hand, pointing at him.

"What do you mean by this Holy Emperor, the Luo Shaohua Sacrifice Ceremony of Dali Temple is still there, but after an hour, he said that he went to the field, and it will take a while to come back, why is this?

Zhan Nan smiled slightly and shook his head: "Can't you see this, the Holy Emperor wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." ”

The eldest prince paused and nodded.

"So what do we do now?"

Zhan Nan thought for a while and said, "I can't tell you about this. ”

The eldest prince tilted his head and stared at him like a poisonous snake.

"You came up with this idea!" said the eldest prince word by word, biting every word very hard.

Zhan Nan stood up, patted the eldest prince on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I'll introduce you to someone." ”

The eldest prince snorted coldly and said, "It's best to introduce someone who can get ideas and be useful!"

Zhan Nan didn't care about the words of the eldest prince, he looked at the eldest prince and said: "This person is my elder brother, all the ideas are from him, he is outside the door now, can His Royal Highness the prince see the face?"

The eldest prince suddenly turned around, his gaze like a sharp sword.

"See you!"

As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open with a "creak".

A person who was similar to Zhan Nan, but his face was extremely pale and he looked sick, walked in, followed by an old man who covered half of his face with a black cloth.

"In Xia Liuxu, I have seen the eldest prince. "Their brothers naturally use the identity of merchants in front of outsiders, one is called Liu Nan, and the other is called Liu Xu. This outsider naturally includes the eldest prince.

Zhan Xu bent down slightly, but the eldest prince had no intention of letting him straighten up.

The old man's gaze behind him gradually became sharp.

"What good opinion do you have? If this matter is discovered by the Holy Emperor, I'm afraid that we won't be able to eat the good fruit!"

The eldest prince turned around and sat down, and then glanced at Zhan Xu, who was still bent over.

"Let's get flat!"

Zhan Xu coughed lightly twice, and then straightened up, his face a little pale.

He glanced at Zhan Nan, who was sitting, and said slowly: "Listen to Brother Nan, you are his brother?"

Zhan Xu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"You made all these notices?"

Zhan Xu did not deny it.

"So what's next?"

Zhan Xu didn't answer him, but looked at the empty chairs on either side of the eldest prince.

"Sit down!" the eldest prince waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness. Zhan Xu said weakly, and then sat opposite Zhan Nan.

He glanced at the old man beside him and said slowly, "Uncle Liu, you can sit too!"

Liu Bo nodded, said to Zhan Xu and Zhan Nan, "Thank you, two young masters", and sat down next to Zhan Xu.

The eldest prince's eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"Let's talk about it, what should I do next, I originally thought that the Holy Emperor would directly kill Chai Xintong, and then the Confucius Temple would fight with the Holy Emperor, but now it seems that we miscalculated. ”

Zhan Xu replied with a smile: "This is expected, the Holy Emperor will definitely not kill Chai Xintong with his own hands, and he is not so stupid!"

"Oh?" the eldest prince looked at Zhan Xu and continued, "It seems that you didn't tell me the complete plan!"

"The complete plan is very simple, with the help of this matter, negotiate with Fan Jiuxian, and send the eldest prince to you a woman who willingly agrees to marry you. ”

The eldest prince looked at the two brothers, and then glanced at the piano platform used by the blind female luthier in white at the beginning, and said coldly: "It's that simple?"

Zhan Xu smiled mysteriously and said: "Naturally it won't be so simple, we can find the right time to help the Holy Emperor borrow Chai Xintong and give the Confucius Temple a heavy blow, and then we have to find a way to let the Holy Emperor kill Chai Xintong, so that they will fight, and we have also gained the trust and even reuse of the Holy Emperor." ”

He looked at the eldest prince and continued, "In this way, will the young tenth prince still be your opponent?"

The eldest prince looked at the three of them coldly, and suddenly stroked his palms and laughed.

"Thank you, two gentlemen!" then stood up, respectfully walked up to Zhan Xu, and poured him a cup of tea.

"So what exactly is going to be done?"

Zhan Xu looked at the eldest prince, and the eldest prince also looked at him.

"The mountain people have their own clever plans, please rest assured that His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

There was a faint anger on the eldest prince's face, but he still forcibly suppressed it.

"What do you do after that?"

Zhan Xu tilted his head and said, "Don't do anything for the time being, if you really want to do it, then go and deal with those little eunuchs." ”

"Hmph, if your follow-up plan doesn't satisfy me, I want you to look good!"

When Zhan Xu heard this, he didn't care, but just put his hand on Liu Bo's body, as if to appease him.

"Those little eunuchs want to keep their bodies, don't they all like to gamble, smoke and women, I want them to die in casinos outside the palace, in brothels, and in medicine. It is necessary to make their deaths more natural, so as to dispel the doubts of others, and the cleaner they are, the more they will arouse the suspicion of others. ”

The eldest prince was stunned.

"What, are you having trouble?"

The eldest prince shook his head and said, "It's not true, it's just that I've already sent the 'Shadow Moon' team to do things, you know the style of my subordinates, there are no bones." ”

Zhan Xu said calmly: "Recall." ”

"As long as you do it, there will be traces, and the cleaner it is, the bigger the problem. He reiterated it again. Then, Zhan Nan thought for a while and interjected: "Why don't we help you complete this matter?"

The eldest prince nodded and said: "I don't know if they have done it, I will call them back immediately, if they haven't done it yet, you will be responsible for the next!"

"Good!"

......

Inside the nine-storied tower at the entrance of Yong'an Palace.

The Holy Emperor climbed the tower again and looked at the woman lying quietly inside.

"Madam, it's been a little unpeaceful lately, I don't know who designed the little gentleman of the Confucius Temple. ”

"I don't dare to use this matter to target Confucius Temple, who knows if it's good or bad?"

"Also, I want to wait and see who will set up such a game?"

The Holy Emperor said, circling the blue coffin twice.
