It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 488: Killing in the Court

No one spoke in the hall, everyone looked at Yang Xianrong.

Yang Xianrong was not at all stage frightened and looked at everyone with different expressions.

At this time, even Concubine Pei hurried in, grabbing her skirt. After paying her respects to Yang Xianrong, she said, "Queen Hui is hearing a case today, and I will definitely come to see it."

She lowered her position and made her stance clear to everyone.

Those who stood on Sima Yue's side became obviously more cautious, exchanged glances with each other, and secretly began to take sides.

Yang Xianrong had someone prepare a chair for Concubine Pei, which was right next to her, and then she asked softly, "Why did Concubine Pei come? This matter will be closed soon."

"I just came to take a look. Anyway, most of the civil and military officials are here, so I can't be missing." Concubine Pei was the oldest among these people, so she naturally put on airs. However, she was still polite when she was next to Yang Xianrong.

"So, what did you hear?" Yang Xianrong glanced at her.

"What should Queen Hui do then?" asked Concubine Pei.

There was actually some Zen in the conversation between the two people, which made the people who were listening with their ears perked up a little confused.

"Do you want to protect this person?" Yang Xianrong continued to ask.

"After all, she is a person that the prince values, and now she has held this position..." There was no urgency in Concubine Pei's eyes.

"That means that you came here today, said it, and guaranteed it, but it was not successful, is that okay?" Yang Xianrong continued to ask.

"It should be possible." Concubine Pei nodded.

"That's good." Yang Xianrong smiled gently and picked up the small wine cup to take a sip.

Concubine Pei wanted to reach out to stop it, but she felt it was not a good idea, so her hand stopped in mid-air.

"Does Concubine Pei want to drink too?" Yang Xianrong smiled again, "Then Concubine Pei will treat me to wedding wine later."

"What wedding banquet?" Concubine Pei was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what she meant for a moment.

"All you have to do is agree." Yang Xianrong looked at her with a smile.

"Oh." Concubine Pei was suspicious, but she still agreed. Yang Xianrong handed her the small wine cup she had used, and added softly, "Don't worry, it's not poisonous. My maid brought it to me."

"Thank you, Queen Hui." Concubine Pei took the wine cup and drank it in one gulp. "It tastes good."

"Well, the wine has to be right, and the people have to be..." Before he could finish his words, the Red Spear Army came back first, carrying two boxes. The people from the Northern Army and the Shangshu Office followed behind, also panting.

The leader of the Red Spear Army, Zhao Huanyong, saluted Sima Chi and Yang Xianrong, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Queen Hui, the stolen silver has been seized and is in the stove of Hong Tianquan's family."

"Is the number correct?" Sima Chi asked.

"One hundred thousand taels of gold." Zhao Huanyong replied.

"Oh, oh, I found it. Let me see it." The idle prince Sima Hu, who was also the owner of the lost gold, was very happy. He rolled up his sleeves and walked over quickly. After opening the box, he saw the golden gold and immediately smiled. "This is indeed the gold that I lost." "Count it again." Sima Chi reminded him.

"That's right, that's right." The idle prince Sima Hu smiled even more happily, "I actually found it. Thank you, Your Majesty. Oh, I have to thank Queen Hui even more."

"We found it, and the number is right, that's good." Yang Xianrong sat up straight and looked at Sima Chi, "I have finished the investigation, and now I have to close the case."

"Oh oh oh, so what does Queen Hui mean?" Sima Chi heard something behind Yang Xianrong's words. She was the one who solved the case, so naturally she had a say.

"According to the official laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, kill the thief Hong Tianquan first." There was no hesitation in Yang Xianrong's voice.

Sima Chi glanced at Zhao Huanyu, and Zhao Huanyu raised his knife and slashed. Before Hong Tianquan could even shout, his head had been separated from his body and rolled. His eyes were still open, and he even blinked.

The timid officials had already cried out in alarm and were backing away.

Pu Jinshan, who was bound and gagged, stood out, kneeling on the spot unable to move. At this time, Hong Tianquan's head actually stood up, and his expression of unwillingness to believe that his head and body had been separated was extremely terrifying.

"The second person to be killed is Pu Jinshan, who was disrespectful to me in public, used foul language in the palace of the Great Jin Dynasty, and disrupted the government." Yang Xianrong sneered at him, "You said that I was no match for you. What about now? Do you plead guilty?"

"Wuwuwuwuwu!" Pu Jinshan twisted his body hard and kept trying to shout.

Yang Xianrong turned to look at Sima Chi, "Your Majesty, this man is very disrespectful to you, kill him."

"Ah?" Sima Chi was a little flustered. "Empress Hui, this person is from the Shangshu Office... and has been working there for many years... Isn't this bad?"

"What's wrong with it? He dares to scold me in public, so I don't know how much he has gossiped about me behind my back. Shouldn't he be killed?" Yang Xianrong looked at him with a burning gaze.

Sima Chi was very nervous, his fingers tightly grasped the dragon chair, and he glanced at Liang Fen and Liang Lanshan. The two opened their mouths wide and looked at Yang Xianrong, unwilling to believe that such a delicate little girl could say such a thing. What kind of thing was this? It was not right to say that she was willful, because what she said made a lot of sense.

"If you don't kill him, there will be more gossip behind your back in the future." Yang Xianrong added, and then stopped talking. She actually picked up the wine cup that Concubine Pei had just used, filled it for herself, and drank it in one gulp.

Sima Chi looked at Liang Fen and Liang Lanshan again, and the two of them looked at each other before nodding to Sima Chi.

Sima Chi waved to Zhao Huanyong without any hesitation.

Zhao Huanyong had a strong execution ability. He raised his knife and chopped off Pu Jinshan's head.

Those who had a good relationship with Pu Jinshan fell to their knees, trembling all over.

When Yang Xianrong looked at them, they all lowered their heads immediately.

The hall was now filled with blood, which looked extremely horrible. The blood was flowing slowly, and many ministers retreated to avoid it. For a moment, there seemed to be fewer people in the hall, and everyone was standing in the corners, very nervous.

"Queen Hui... then, there is one more thing you want..." Sima Chi also stuttered a little.

"Let's also kill the follower of Pu Jinshan." Yang Xianrong glanced at a small and thin figure kneeling in the crowd.

"Why is this?" Sima Chi tried hard to look over, but he vaguely felt that the man seemed very young and not a vicious person.

"I don't like it." Yang Xianrong actually gave such an answer.
