Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 420
"A bloody case happened in Liumu Lane, the air of blood is soaring..." the servant read a memorial, Xiao Xuan yawned when he heard it.

"How many letters is this?"

"Your Majesty, this is already the eighth letter." The servant still held a memorial in his hand, opened it and glanced at the emperor again, "The ninth letter."

"It's boring, it's very boring." Xiao Xuan said, leaning back and leaning on the back of the chair, tapping the table with his fingertips, scanning the stacked memorials with his eyes, and raised his eyebrows to look at the servant, "You talk about the world It’s so big, don’t you have anything else to start with? You have to rush and hold on to one thing.”

"At present, the world is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment..."

Hmph, Xiao Xuan sneered, and stopped the servant's last half of the compliment, "The world is in peace? In their eyes, when did my country pass in the four seas, and even if the world is really in peace, how many of them are there?" Power? Every one of them sits on a vegetarian meal, and instead of thinking about the common people, they just hold on to such a small matter. I think they are just idle."

The servant didn't dare to speak. According to the description in the memorial, an alley started at midnight last night, and the shouts and killings shook the neighbors so that they couldn't sleep peacefully.Then there was the sound of horses rattling, one after another.The person who got up at Chenshi scratched the wall and saw the blood trickling out from the crack in the door of the house.

This is at the foot of the emperor in the important place of the capital, how can such a horrific murder happen, how can it be called a trivial matter?

"Find me a different memorial." He knew better than anyone what happened in Willow Lane, because that person wrote him a letter before deciding to do this.Simply explain the cause, and the consequence is that she wants to kill someone.

What can he say?Of course I agreed, but at the end I have to tell her that I will support you.

Alas, when he looked at these memorials today, although he was a bit exaggerated, it should be about the same.After a while, it was estimated that when he arrived at the court, those people wanted him to find the murderer immediately and execute him.

He was tired of these things but wanted to see whether the face of Lord Qing Shen Yuan would be so angry that his nose was crooked.

"Your Majesty, here is a memorial from Lord Xu, Minister of Rites, that the Duke of Shenqing raised a concubine and gave birth to a son when his wife died less than a year ago."

Xu Lang?Xiao Xuan regained his energy immediately, stretched out his hand to take the memorial, glanced at it and leaned back, "Master Xu has finally done something that makes me happy." After saying that, he put down the memorial and got up to go out, the servant hugged him. Looking at the stack of memorials that were not too bad, he looked at Xu Lang's one again, and put it on top, and practiced it alone for His Majesty later.

All civil and military officials in the hall shouted Long Live, Xiao Xuan sat on the throne and motioned for everyone to get up and speak, and the person who wrote the memorial took a step forward to speak.

Xiao Xuan was indifferent, and the servant knew how to hand Xu Lang's memorial to him.

"I have a memorial from Master Xu, Minister of Rites, let's discuss it later." After finishing speaking, the servant took the memorial and stepped forward to read it aloud.

After reading a few words, there was a moment of silence.Who dares to take this?This year, the houses in Fugui Lane were closed and the houses were raided, the princes died one after another, and the prime ministers left one after another.Among the three princes and nine ministers, there is only one Qing Guogong who has been in power since the time of the first emperor, and he has been strong until now.

His disciples were not as good as Prime Minister Qiao, and his reputation was not as high as Chen Gel's, but after those people fell one after another, Duke Qing became a top-notch master.

Who dares to break ground on his head?Isn't that courting death?
There was no sound at all, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Xiao Xuan's mouth. Did he really achieve the goal of being under one person and above ten thousand people?

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Xu Lang jumped out to support the scene at this time, which made Xiao Xuan feel grateful.

"speak."

"The contents of the minister's memorial are not groundless. Mrs. Shen, who is Shen Guogong's first wife, has confirmed that every sentence in the minister's memorial is true."

"Shen Guogong, do you have something to say?" Xiao Xuan stared at Shen Yuan, it really was an old fox, he could still be so calm at this time.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am indeed sorry to send my wife on this point, and I have nothing to say."

Heh, he's still an old fox who doesn't leak his words.

"Master Guo, if I remember correctly, you already had a concubine at that time, and once your wife's three-year filial piety expired, you asked for an order to straighten her up."

"Master Xu is right."

"Then may I ask the Duke, did the first wife marry you for [-] years and then died? Did the second wife, Mrs. Shen who just passed the first seven years also marry you for [-] years and died later?"

"What do you mean?" Shen Yuanrao, no matter how impatient he was dealing with people like Xu Lang who could only play tricks, suddenly understood what he was going around talking about.

"It means literally, don't you have any doubts in your heart? The two wives passed away after 12 years with you. The children born to the two wives were either suffering from stubborn diseases or physical disabilities. You really Have you ever wondered why this is?"

Wow, there was a blast in the courtroom, strange things are always more attractive, and the other party is still Shen Guogong, this curiosity has been aroused.No one cares about the unexplained murder that happened in a deserted alley.

Looking at Shen Yuan's uncertain face, Xiao Xuan wanted to applaud Xu Lang, this Master Xu is not so annoying, he did a good job this time!

"My wife was seriously ill at the time, and it was the doctor Gu Xue who came to see her. It was because of overthinking and melancholy that she became sick. Doctor Xue can testify that she is no different from others. My wife is also because of..." Shen Yuan said about this matter. I can't say it anymore, the words "you think too much, get depressed and become sick" are the diagnoses given by the people in the Tai Hospital to her who has just buried herself in the ground.

One is accidental, two are coincidences, and three are problematic.It is true that both of them have been married into the Duke's Mansion for twelve years, and their two sons are also in poor health. Could it be that someone really put a curse on him and the Duke's Mansion?

"Grandpa, those are your family affairs, but you are an important minister in the court, and your personal morality has an important impact on the court. As the saying goes, if you don't sweep a house, you can't sweep the world. Should the Duke put himself first? After clearing up the family affairs, come to serve the court again?"

Xu Lang's words made Shen Yuan a little bit hard to get off. Now he is under one person and above ten thousand. Not only the emperor is watching his words and deeds, but also those ministers who are looking forward to his accident. He is a little afraid of wolves and tigers .Originally, this matter can be big or small, he can fully admit the mistakes he made as a man, and then close the door and repent for a few months, and when new big things happen, he can come out and do his own thing again. Grandpa.

It's just that a seed of doubt has sprouted in his heart and is about to take root, and he is also afraid that he will lose everything because of this incident, that's not okay.

"Your Majesty clearly divides family affairs and state affairs. Your Majesty does not need to worry about this."

"Really?" Xiao Xuan sneered in his heart, he is really a guy who regards rights as his life!
