Chapter 13: Death Without Proof
Emperor Shenwu frowned and looked at Huang Quan: "Aiqing, what's going on?"
Huang Quan smiled slightly, and before he could answer, he snatched out a person on the side, it was Zhao Daquan, the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. After he finished saluting Emperor Shenwu, he said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, there is no doubt that this Huangquan is just playing tricks and deceiving the king! Maybe he doesn't even have the courage to bring people over, and he is talking nonsense here!"
After Zhao Daquan finished speaking, Ding Buwei continued to play, and swore and said: "Your Majesty! Weichen thinks, let's not talk about whether Huangquan has the courage to bring people over now, even if he does, Weichen dares to guarantee that he must have colluded with them in advance, and then they will talk nonsense together, and insist on accusing Weichen of being lawless." Your Majesty, Wechen has always been law-abiding, and if there is the slightest illegal behavior, Wechen will be severely punished, so Xiaoer is a good child who follows the rules, knows how to do such a ridiculous thing!"
Emperor Shenwu sighed and looked at Ding Buwei: "What ridiculous thing?"
Ding Buwei said without changing his face: "Your Majesty, it is their absurd behavior of slandering Xiao'er for robbing people's girls on the street in broad daylight. How could a child be so knowledgeable and reasonable, how could he do such a thing!"
Emperor Shenwu sighed again, and said slowly: "Huang Aiqing has not been on the book so far, and I don't know what he is accusing your child of. How did you know before I did?"
Ding Buwei stammered for a moment and was speechless.
Zhao Daquan on the side hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is what the person concerned heard them say with his own ears, saying that he wanted to sue Ding Shilang Xiao'er for illegally robbing people's daughters." Wang Fuchun, the centurion of the cavalry battalion under the control of Wei Chen, saw that Ling Ye was so arrogant, so he was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to take him down, but he was beaten by him instead! This man is so rampant, so unscrupulous in the imperial city, it is clear that he does not take the imperial law seriously! I implore Your Majesty to punish him severely!"
Emperor Shenwu was noncommittal and looked at Huang Quan: "Huang Aiqing, why don't you speak?"
Huang Quan smiled and said, "Weichen wants to wait until they finish talking." ”
Emperor Shenwu said: "I can't finish talking for a while. But where are these people? Did you bring them here?"
Huang Quan bowed and said, "Brought it!"
"How can you not see that?"
Weichen believes that there must be a misunderstanding here, and he may need to wait. ”
"What if you can't wait?"
Huang Quan said calmly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this person will definitely come in the middle of the night, and Weichen dares to guarantee it with the head of the item!"
Zhao Daquan on the side said with a smile: "Huang Quan, I'm afraid that you said that Ling Ye saw that the folk girl you said was strong and beautiful, so he took advantage of your absence and eloped out of the city with the folk girl! Young men and women get along in private, and they can't help but start a fire, that's also ordinary! Haha!"
Ding Buwei coughed and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen can't help but be suspicious, I am afraid that Ling Ye is a thief, and he does not dare to face His Majesty's Long Wei, for fear of being condemned for exposing his horse's feet, so he escaped." It can be seen that Huang Quan is indeed suspected of colluding with Ling Ye to frame Weichen Xiaoer. I beg your Majesty to take a clear look!"
Emperor Shenwu was still noncommittal: "The two Aiqing are calm and restless. Huang Aiqing, what do you have to say?"
Huang Quan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, they think that Wei Chen is trying to slander them, so, do they have evidence? They keep saying how Wei Chen is, so Wei Chen has the courage to beg His Majesty to let them come up with evidence." "Nine peaches
Emperor Shenwu nodded: "Not bad." What about your evidence?"
Ding Buwei immediately said: "Weichen Xiao'er is crippled and difficult to move, so Weichen only brought the entourage who went shopping with Xiao'er yesterday. Of course, if Your Majesty needs Xiao'er to come out to testify, Wechen will bring it immediately!"
Zhao Daquan also said: "Wang Fuchun, the centurion of the Xiaocai battalion under the management of Weichen, is also waiting outside the palace gate, and he will come soon!"
Emperor Shenwu waved his hand and said, "Then come in!"
The two eunuchs were ordered to go out.
Ding Buwei squinted at Huang Quan, and said with a smile: "General Huang, I'm sorry, it seems that this time, your personal certificate will not be available, but my personal certificate will come in a blink of an eye." I don't know if there are witnesses or not, which side of the story will Your Majesty believe?"
Huang Quan smiled and said: "I have a lot of witnesses who came with red mouths and white teeth. Would you like to see it?"
Ding Buwei snorted: "When death is on the verge of death, you are still hard-mouthed!
After another long while, the eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, the slave maid and the others have not found the human evidence that the two adults said, so they can only report it!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the court. Everyone opened their eyes and looked at Ding Buwei and Zhao Daquan, their faces full of incredulity.
Ding is not sorry to pay back, Zhao Daquan is on the side of General Zuo, and Huang Quan is a close subordinate of General Right, this person is well known, so today's court meeting can be said to be a heavy punch from General Zuo's side to the right general behind Huang Quan.
Thinking about it from this, Ling Ye and the others suddenly couldn't come, and the three-year-old children all knew that it was caused by Ding Buwei and others playing behind their backs, so they couldn't play, and they were suspected of "being thieves and escaping". This trick can be described as neither insidious nor vicious.
But the current situation is that the person who Ding Bu carefully prepared for them is gone, which one is this?
Suddenly gave up? Don't want to play?
Seeing that he was about to be able to drive the opponent into a dead end, he suddenly turned around and left at the critical moment?
Ding Buwei's face was pale, his eyes turned left and right for a while, and then he jumped up, pointed at Huang Quan and scolded: "Your Majesty! Wei Chen dares to guarantee with Xiang Shang's head, this must be Huang Quan's secret ghost! He openly entered the palace to face the saint, and secretly must have arranged thugs to arrest and even kill the people left by Wei Chen outside the palace gate, and there is no proof to die!"
As soon as he said this, Zhao Daquan also came to his senses, and also jumped up and pointed at Huang Quan and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen also thinks so! This Huang Quan, so insidious and vicious! I beg Your Majesty to be clear!"
Emperor Shenwu was still noncommittal, and asked Huang Quandao, "Huang Aiqing, what do you say?"
Huang Quan smiled slightly, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty! In fact, Wei Chen is also suspecting that Ling Ye and the Minnu are gone, I am afraid that they secretly took them away or even killed them." Otherwise, why would they suddenly disappear? Your Majesty, don't you think it's quite doubtful?"
Emperor Shenwu frowned and looked back and forth at the three of them: "The three of you are all my Qing family, and I will not take sides." Now, Huang Qing's family said that you took his witness, and you said that he took your witness. What the hell is going on? Who can come up with strong evidence that I can trust as well as all the secretaries here?"
