Uncle Nine

Chapter 138 I Won't Let You Go

There was a lot of discussion among the officials, no one knew if the emperor suddenly made such a move, was it the first emperor who possessed him, or was he suddenly enlightened?Ordinarily, this little emperor only focuses on carpentry and never cares about government affairs.As long as the major affairs of the court are not excessive, they are always dealt with by the Regent Dongfang Yue and Prince Rui Zhao Shuo.

What this time?Did the emperor give birth to Qiqiao Linglong?

"Cough!" Zhao Shuo coughed softly, and the originally noisy Jinluan Palace fell silent for an instant.

Zhao Shuo frowned, "I've been feeling cold recently, and my throat is a little uncomfortable. Don't be offended, my lords."

"Don't dare!" Baiguan saluted.

Stretching, Zhao Shuo got up and walked slowly towards the door, "Why haven't you come back yet?"

Zhao Lu quickly stepped down from the dragon chair, "Uncle Huang, don't worry, he has been gone for a while, and he will be back in about a while."

Zhao Shuo pointed to Dongfang Yue, "I'm not in a hurry, I'm just worried that the regent is in a hurry. After a night's sleep, I really feel refreshed. If the emperor is bored, he can take a nap. This matter is on the table anyway, so don't rush I can't be too slow."

"What Uncle Huang said is very true. There is no rush or slowness." Zhao Lu nodded.

"It is the emperor's duty to uphold the order of the court. Manpower can reverse the destiny of the destiny." Zhao Shuo said speciously, "Look, here we come."

Outside, Liang Yiru led a group of people to kneel outside the Golden Palace.

Zhao Shuo clasped his hands behind his back, "Has your majesty seen such a scene?"

Zhao Lu shook his head.

"Weichen has seen it once." When Zhao Lu said this, he turned his head to look at him in astonishment, but saw a very strange and complex emotion on Zhao Shuo's face.

It seems to miss, to remember, and to hate to the extreme, and to be cold to the bottom of my heart.

After saying that, Zhao Shuo quickly walked back to his seat, followed by Zhao Lu back to the dragon chair.

Liang Yiru knelt in the golden hall, "Report to the emperor, I have gathered all the witnesses and testimonies outside the hall, waiting for the emperor to call at any time."

"Xuan." Zhao Lu said hurriedly.

Dongfang sneered coldly, "How can those lawless and troublesome people go to the palace at will? If they can easily meet Long Yan, where will the majesty of the emperor be placed? Where will the prestige of the court be placed?"

Zhao Shuo frowned slightly, "Choose someone who can speak clearly, and go to the palace to face the Lord, so that the sufferer doesn't have to come in."

"Yes!" Liang Yiru saluted and stepped back.

Not long after, he brought a man up to the Golden Luan Hall.

This man was in Tsing Yi, in his early thirties, his complexion was a little pale, perhaps he had never seen such a battle before.Kneeling there, he only knew to kowtow to the emperor, but he also understood that without the emperor's permission, as a commoner, he was not allowed to raise his head to meet Long Yan.

"What's your name?" Zhao Lu asked.

The man said, "The law of Wangjiazhuang on the outskirts of Xiaomin City, Liu Sanming, see the emperor, long live the emperor."

Zhao Lu nodded, "Liu Sanming, I'm here to ask you, you gathered so many villagers to surround Jingzhao Mansion, and you almost want to cry out for grievances. What's the matter?"

Liu Sanming knelt down on the ground, "The grassroots led the crowd to appeal for grievances, not causing trouble. There is really a big grievance and there is no place to appeal. As a last resort, I led the villagers in the village to surround Jingzhao Mansion."

"I'm sitting here today to try the case, let's talk about it." Zhao Lu didn't dare to speak too loudly, and from the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Dongfang Yue with a dark face from time to time.

Liang Yiru bowed and held a bloody book on white cloth in both hands, "My Majesty, this is a letter signed by villagers from ten miles and eight villages inside and outside the capital. It says that there is something about the regent's mansion privately abusing evil slaves in the mansion and abducting young girls." , Fulfilling selfish desires, taking living people to test medicine."

His voice was sonorous and powerful, and if he trembled, it was because of righteous indignation.

With so many lives and so many families, whether he can take revenge or not is in his hands.

"Testing medicine?" All the officials were stunned and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Dongfang Yue narrowed his eyes, "Nonsense! If my Regent's Palace really wants to take people to test the medicine, who can't find them, why should I go to those girls?"

"Why is the regent so anxious? Isn't this the end of the story? The prince is so anxious, but he is suspected of not asking for it." Zhao Shuo rubbed his brows, "Don't worry, there will be time later, leave it to the regent Wang argued."

Liang Yiru continued, "The place where the medicine is tested is the mountain stream of Beifeng Mountain. The so-called miasma forest is the soft smoke of Baihua Palace. Others don't know how to get in, so naturally they can't get in. A knight risked his life to break in and cut himself to pieces. The girls were all rescued, and they took the medicine test books, including the Miaojiang Gu poison that is still in the test period. Now, the witnesses and physical evidence are all there, and the emperor can summon the witnesses to verify them one by one."

This remark caused an uproar in an instant.

The murderer of the murder of a young girl who had been tracked down for so long actually came from the Palace of the Regent.Those common people live like ants, if they die, they will die.

However, this case also involved six officials who were killed.Assassinating court officials and obstructing the court's handling of cases is a crime of beheading.Killing six people in a row is a serious crime, and I'm afraid it won't be enough to cut him into pieces.

"Hmph, you said that my regent's mansion did it, what's the evidence? Who will bear the crime of framing me with empty teeth?" Dongfang Yue chuckled coldly.

Zhao Lu was fidgeting, "First, first present the certificate and let me have a look."

Liang Yiru bowed his head and quickly presented the case to Zhao Lu.

"Hui, back to the emperor, the grassroots have, have evidence." Everyone forgot, there is still Liu Sanming kneeling in the hall.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Lu was stunned, "What evidence? Submit it quickly."

Dongfang Yue straightened up and narrowed his dangerous eyes.

I saw Liu Sanming took out a piece of paper, a token, and pieces of pottery pots wrapped lightly in the cloth from his arms, "This is the blueprint of the Beifeng Mountain Secret Road that the chivalrous man took out from the Beifeng Mountain dungeon. As well as the token on the alchemist's body, and - the fragments of the vinegar jar in the secret room. On it, there are totem marks belonging to the Regent's Palace."

Dongfang got up quickly, but Zhao Shuo took a step faster, held the blueprint in his hand, and said with a calm smile, "Beifeng Mountain is a good place, but it's a pity—it has become a purgatory on earth. Look at this With the nine bends and eighteen bends on the drawings, it must have taken a lot of thought to find this place and make such a secret room."

"It's just a piece of paper, so why do you think it belongs to my Prince Regent's Palace?" Dongfang Yue didn't see any marks belonging to the Prince Regent's Palace on the drawing.

The pulp of Zhao Shuo's thumb lightly rubbed the upper left corner of the drawing, "Want to know?" He raised his head, "Come here, bring me a firefly."

Not long after, a guard quickly folded the fire on the ground.

"Everyone, look after me." He placed the upper left corner of the paper on the flame and smoked it for a while, until the four small words "Prince Regent's Mansion" gradually appeared on the upper left corner.

"How could this be?" Dongfang Yue stared at the blueprint in disbelief.

"Don't you know that the paper used by the government is different from the paper used by the common people. The imperial court has a special paper mill, and the paper produced is all marked with dark marks." Zhao Shuo straightened the drawing, "My lords You can come and take a closer look.”

Liang Yiru walked down and picked up the token, "The regent is no stranger to this token, this is the unique token of the prince's personal attendant. It is said that no more than five people in the Great Yan Dynasty can have this token. I don't know if it is Which adult next to the prince, who is lucky enough to walk up to the golden palace to face the king, take this back?"

Dongfang took the token more quickly.

"My lord, be merciful. If you use your strength, this thing will be gone." Zhao Shuo stretched out his hand to take it.

Dongfang Yue is not willing to let go.

Clenching his hands tightly, Zhao Shuo smiled evilly, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, full of enchanting beauty, only to hear Zhao Shuo regretfully say, "My lord is planning to destroy the corpse?"

He withdrew his hand, Dongfang Yue's eyes were ruthless, "Zhao Shuo!"

All the officials were shocked, only to see that Dongfang Yue spread his hand, and the token had been turned into powder and scattered all over the ground.

"My lord, why bother?" Zhao Shuo sighed softly, "It's just a subordinate, even if the lord wants to protect it, there is no need to be so anxious."

Liang Yiru picked up the fragments of vinegar jars on the ground, "As we all know, the official wine jars and vinegar jars are all specially provided by the imperial court. It’s the same as in the palace. The chivalrous man took out the fragments of the vinegar jar from the secret room. The prince doesn’t know that the inside of the official jar will be engraved with the special words of each government and court, right?”

This is the fate of high position and weight.

Everything is dedicated, so once caught, it becomes the biggest threat.

"This kind of thing can be seen everywhere, maybe you went to the Prince Regent's Mansion to steal it." Dongfang Yue gritted his teeth, at this moment, he wished that Zhao Shuo and Liang Yiru could be eaten as flesh and blood.

"The soft smoke in the miasma forest must be dissolved with ten times the concentration of ordinary kitchen vinegar. But this kind of vinegar is extremely difficult to brew, and ordinary diet does not need such sour things. The prince will not Do you want to say, this is what you usually drink, right?" Liang Yiru was neither humble nor overbearing.

"Bastard, do you need to intervene in the matter of my regent's palace?" Dongfang Yue was about to leave.

"The regent walks slowly. You haven't seen any witnesses yet. If you leave like this, people in the world think you are a guilty conscience! Since you are doing well, the prince might as well wait for the result. Since it is a stigma of framing, listen, listen. , there will be a loophole, and it will be self-defeating." Zhao Shuo said slowly, and smiled at Liang Yiru, "I have seen all these evidences, let the witnesses come up! This king is new, and these catastrophes survived. What would a girl like her look like if she saw the Regent?"

Liang Yiru nodded, went out quickly, and personally led the rescued girls into the Golden Temple.

The girl knelt down and shouted long live.

Among them, there is also the gatekeeper of Baihua Palace who was seriously injured yesterday——Taxue.With extremely hate eyes, he stared fiercely at Dongfang Yue in the hall, wishing to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

But she also knew that the purpose of her coming here at this moment was not to kill Dongfang Yue.Killing Dongfang Yue would put the young master in danger, so for the sake of the young master, Baihua Palace must not act rashly.

Without exception, everyone accused the Prince Regent's House of committing crimes, and the appearance of the villain described was actually very similar to Jing Ming.

It was only then that Dongfang Yue realized that Zhao Shuo's ultimate goal was not himself, nor the Prince Regent's Mansion, but the hidden guards of the Prince Regent's Mansion, Dongfang Yue's right-hand man.

But when he figured it out, it was too late.

"This seems to be the attendant next to the Prince Regent!" Zhao Shuo frowned, "I would like to report to the Emperor, I have met that person several times, and the one everyone is describing now should be Jingming."

"Chuan Jingming goes to the palace." Zhao Lu said.

The eunuch passed the decree and left in a hurry, Dongfang Yue did not stop him, he could already guess what would happen to Jingming.As a matter of fact, since this matter was brought out, and the Prince Regent's House was involved, if no one took responsibility, he would cause public outrage.

Dongfang Yue still knows the truth that public anger is hard to offend.

If the people of the world attack him together, not to mention his Regent's Palace, even the Great Yan Dynasty will be in danger.

Liang Yiru deliberately asked several servants from the regent's mansion to go to the palace, but everyone pointed their finger at Jing Ming who was in the crowd, which shows that there is absolutely no reason to admit mistakes.

On the surface, it was Liang Yiru's careful questioning to prevent omissions, but in fact, Jingming suffered a hidden loss.

And Jingming really couldn't get the token.

Losing the token means acquiescing to the case, and Jing Ming is the suspect.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged by a humble position." Jing Ming kowtowed.

Taxue looked at the women around him, suddenly a woman stood up, weeping and cursing at Dongfang Yue, "I know I am a commoner, and I can't beat your Regent's Palace. But people are doing it, God is watching. You will suffer retribution. Me and those sisters who died tragically, even ghosts will not let you go!"

It was too late to say it, but she suddenly rushed straight towards the carved dragon jade pillar, and blood was sprayed instantly.All the officials panicked, and the scene became chaotic in an instant.

The guards rushed into the Golden Luan Hall, shouting, "Help me! Protect the emperor! Protect the prince!"

The woman's body slowly slid to the ground, with blood gushing from her forehead.

On the Golden Temple, touching a pillar and dying shows chastity!
The guard quickly stepped forward, probed the carotid artery, and raised his head in astonishment, "Report to the emperor, the man—is dead."

Zhao Lu widened his eyes in horror, "What? Dead, dead?"
