Chapter 398: The Secret Battle in Front of the Palace (Part II)
Chen Ao was behind the curtain, and he clearly heard Kou Zhun say his name, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
He didn't take Zhao Heng's official position to heart when he first said "Inspector Chen", but Chen Ao hadn't reacted yet. At this time, he knew that Kou Zhun was indeed pointing the finger at himself, and he was really shocked and angry, and he thought, why can't you get along with Lao Tzu all the time? Lao Tzu was just kind enough to find you a promising niece and son-in-law, and if you don't agree, why do you need to target Lao Tzu?
Chen Ao exhaled heavily, but after thinking about it, he was indeed planning to rescue Zhao Ling today, but why did Kou Zhun know about this matter? According to what he said, it was Liu Dongquan who found out. But since they knew, why didn't they tell Zhao Heng in advance? What kind of medicine were sold in the gourd of the two of them?
He was puzzled, when he heard Zhao Heng say, "Kou Qing, this matter ...... Exactly?"
Kou Zhun had already seen Zhao Heng's thoughts, snorted coldly in his heart, and said secretly, the official family still wants to pretend to protect the kid surnamed Chen, so favored, it is not a good sign. The traitorous courtier already has a Cao Yi, if there is another Chen Ao, His Majesty will be bewitched!
Thinking of this, Kou Zhun said loudly: "Your Majesty, Chen Ao has always had different intentions, and it is already a big crime to enter Beijing secretly. Moreover, this person is known as the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, if it weren't for him, who else would be able to organize so many masters of the rivers and lakes to enter Beijing to assassinate?"
Zhao Heng opened his mouth, and he couldn't imagine that the doubts in his heart were all said by Kou Zhun. Originally, I wanted to hide it for Chen Ao, but how can I hide it now?
Chen Ao behind the curtain couldn't listen to it anymore, he really wanted to break into the palace. But he wanted to save Zhao Ling, and he didn't want to assassinate Zhao Heng at all. And Kou Zhun's remarks clearly planted Murong Ao's conspiracy on his head.
Chen Ao couldn't stand being wronged by others, so he couldn't help but open his mouth and shout: "Kou Zhun! Lao Tzu respects you as a well-known upright and loyal minister in history, but he has never offended you." Why did you pour dirty water on Lao Tzu's head?"
As soon as he shouted, several people in the hall froze. Kou Zhun heard it clearly, it was Chen Ao's voice, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, he didn't expect Chen Ao to be here!
He arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty! Chen Ao stubbornly entered the palace with bad intentions......
Zhao Heng was helpless, thinking to himself, Chen Ao, Chen Ao, you hit the tip of Kou Zhun's knife yourself, how can I protect you?
He sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Duan Gang, bring him out!"
Duan Gang listened to the order and brought Chen Ao and Yun Lu out. Kou Zhun was only halfway through his words, and suddenly saw Chen Ao's hands tied, he was surprised and inexplicable, and said: "It turns out that Your Majesty has already captured this person, and the old minister is worried for no reason, it seems that he is really laughing and generous!"
Zhao Heng was helpless, and he couldn't blame Kou Zhun for his loyalty, so he had to soothe: "Kou Qing is loyal, how can it be ridiculous?"
He said to Chen Ao again, "Chen Ao, do you have anything you want to say to Master Kou?"
Zhao Heng's words were very interesting, and he didn't mean to make Chen Ao confess, but let him have something to say to Kou Zhun, as if he wanted them to confront him on the spot. Chen Ao's mouth kung fu, Zhao Heng has experienced. Now I can only hope that Chen Aohu will mess around and send Kou Zhun away.
Although Chen Ao didn't understand what Zhao Heng meant, he really wanted to vent his anger on Kou Zhun. He glared at Kou Zhun and said loudly: "Lord Kou, I didn't offend you, how can you frame me? What proof do you have that it was me who broke into the palace and assassinated me?"
Kou Zhun smiled faintly and said, "Evidence?" He took a moment to slowly tell Chen Ao's plan to break into the palace, including how many people set fire to a certain place to create chaos, and how many people hid and prepared to break into the palace. Although the details are not accurate, they are generally correct.
After Kou Zhun finished speaking, he sneered: "This is your plan to break into the palace, am I wrong?"
Chen Ao was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that the plan he thought was very secret had been known.
Fang Baishi stood aside, and the more he listened, the more suspicious he felt. Kou Zhun Guanju is a good person, dignified and slaughtered, where is there any spare time to stare at a small Chen Ao? He said earlier that he learned the news from Liu Dongquan's mouth. Fang Baishi thought of the last time Liu Dongquan suddenly said the news that Chen Ao had entered Beijing without permission in the court, and suddenly felt that it was not impossible for Liu Dongquan to discover Chen Ao's secret. Thinking that his subordinates actually hooked up with the prime minister without telling him, and secretly made a joke, Fang Baishi felt very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Chen Ao had nothing to say, Kou Zhun snorted coldly: "Chen Ao, aren't you very wronged?
Chen Ao couldn't help but say, "I'm ...... I did want to break into the palace, but it wasn't for assassination, but to save people......"
When he said this, he swallowed the second half of the words into his stomach. Chen Ao knew that Zhao Ling's secret was a talisman. Now maybe Zhao Heng is merciful and doesn't want to harm Zhao Ling's life, but just puts her under house arrest in the palace. But if this secret is leaked out and known by the ministers, I am afraid that Zhao Ling and himself will not be able to escape the fate of death!
Kou Zhun sneered, "Who do you want to save?"
Chen Ao thought to himself, how could this old man seem to know this secret? By the way! Since Liu Dongquan had hooked up with him, he would naturally tell him about it! But this matter was not trivial, and if Kou Zhun dared to say it in public, he would definitely be charged with not reporting it.
Thinking of this, Chen Ao calmed down and said, "What do you say?
Kou Zhun raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you took the initiative to admit that you entered the palace and assassinated?"
Chen Ao is in a dilemma, if he tells the truth, he will implicate Zhao Ling, and if he doesn't say it, he will be put on this big hat by Kou Zhun.
At this moment, Yun Lu suddenly blessed Zhao Heng and said softly: "Your Majesty, my lords, Chen Gongzi did not have the intention of assassinating His Majesty. The person who wanted to assassinate me was me, and it had nothing to do with Chen Gongzi. ”
She was used to seeing big scenes, and even at this time, she didn't panic. Yunlu looked calm, without sorrow or joy, as if she had died and faced death indifferently. If it weren't for Chen Ao being wronged, she might not have said a word again. She just didn't want to kill another innocent person before she died.
Kou Zhun's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't understand how this woman was involved. But when he thought about it, this woman is stunning, and if she stays with the king, she will inevitably be a disaster for the country and the people. For the sake of the society, even if she is hated by the official, you must get rid of this woman too!
Thinking like this, Kou Zhun said loudly: "Hmph! Miss Yunlu is so kind-hearted, does she want to take on this matter?" Just now Chen Ao had a chance to confess, but he didn't mention the girl. Now the girl has taken all the blame for her guilt again. It's really curious what the secret is here!"
As soon as he said this, several people at the station couldn't help but think about it, and felt that there was really some ambiguity between Chen Ao and Yunlu.
Zhao Heng knew that Chen Ao and Yunlu would never have any ambiguity. But he was very sad to hear her admit from Yunlu that she wanted to kill the king. He couldn't figure out why he was so sincere to Yunlu in exchange for such a return.
Kou Zhun said loudly: "Your Majesty! Now that the matter is very clear, Chen Ao and Yun Lu colluded with each other and wanted to kill the king, please let Your Majesty send it down!"
Zhao Heng was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "This ...... It's a bit premature, isn't it?"
Kou Zhun said: "What Your Majesty said is reasonable, since this is the case, they should also be handed over to Yousi, and the facts will be clarified before they are convicted and dealt with!"
Zhao Heng was helpless, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a small eunuch outside the palace gate come in and report that it was the forbidden army Huo Commander escorting the assassin who broke into the palace to ask to see. [.]
