Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 866 Conviction
Ruyan looked at her and said: "You know how uncle is, if you want him to leave, there must be a good reason, otherwise, think about it, will he listen to me?"

Zhong said almost pleadingly: "Ruyan, I can only tell you that we have fallen into a vortex of terror, and if we don't leave, everyone will die without a burial!"

The atmosphere in the hall is very serious, and the noble meeting is being held.

Zhongjie sat in the position of chief assistant, and Zeng Tai sat beside him.

Dozens of Yuezhi nobles are listed under it.

Zhongjie announced loudly: "In view of the serious crimes committed by Princess Nalu, I have convened a meeting of nobles, and I invite you to jointly decide on the crimes."

There is a lot of discussion below.

The nobleman Kara said: "Nalu killed the king and two princes, and should be hanged!"

Noble Ali stood up and said: "Ke Nalu is the wife of the former king, the princess of the Yuezhi Kingdom, so the death penalty is not appropriate?!"

Kara said: "Nalu's murder of the king is a heinous crime. If he doesn't kill it, the common people will not be angry. Sir Ali, can he murder the king just because he is the princess and not be punished as he should?"

Several nobles behind Kara responded in unison: "Master Kara is right, Nalu must pay the price for her actions!"

"Yes, hang her!"

Ali said: "The public execution of a princess is an insult to the Yuezhi state."

An old nobleman stood up and said, "Ali is right, you should think twice about this matter."

Kara sneered and said, "You two adults don't mean to acquit Nalu, right?!"

Ali said: "Of course not. I suggest that Nalu be imprisoned in the palace for life."

As soon as this remark came out, people who supported Carla booed.

Kara said: "The king and two princes were killed, and they were only imprisoned in the palace. From now on, the law of the Yuezhi Kingdom that murder pays for life can be changed, and it should be changed to murder without guilt. Ah, my lords!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Ali and the old noble sat down awkwardly.

Kara said in a loyal manner, "My lord, Nalu is the chief culprit who killed the king and must be severely punished."

The nobles shouted in unison: "Kara is right!"

"Hang this vicious woman!"

Zhongjie stood up, waved his hands and said, "Nalu has committed a serious crime and should be severely punished. However, Ali and Mullah must also consider the concerns of the two adults. Although the Yue family is a small country in the Western Regions, it also has dignity, honor and disgrace. It is indeed wrong to execute the princess publicly. OK."

Kara said: "The ruling lord means..."

Zhongjie said: "Neutralize the opinions of the two factions, take a compromise method, give Nalu poisonous wine, and bury him according to the ceremony of a princess after death, what do you think?"

Kara communicated with the surrounding nobles, nodded and said: "This not only punishes the murderer, but also saves the face of the royal family. It is very thoughtful, and I support it." Ali also stood up and said: "I also choose!" All the nobles They said in unison: "Support!"

The loyal node nodded and said: "Very good, you have reached a consensus on the first topic. Now let's start the second topic: Yuezhi is in turmoil and Fang Ping, the country cannot be left without a ruler for a day, please recommend a nobleman that everyone believes in as the leader. king!"

Kara took the lead and said: "Speaking of everyone being convinced, who else is there besides the ruling lord?"

Ali also said: "Master Kara is right. The ruling lord is the chief assistant of the Yuezhi Kingdom. Now that the king has no successor, of course the lord should be the new king!"

All the people responded in unison: "Master in power, you must be the king, so don't be humble anymore!"

"Yes, the ruling lord will be crowned king as soon as possible, and the Yue clan will settle down!"

Zeng Tai, who was beside Zhongjie, smiled and said: "My lord, this is what everyone expects, so you should act decisively!"

Zhongjie stood up and said solemnly: "Thanks to everyone's trust, Zhongjie dare not refuse. The coronation ceremony will be held in three days, and the whole country will celebrate together!"

The nobles stood up, touched their chests with their right hands, bowed under the leadership of Kara and Ali, and said, "I will pledge my allegiance to His Majesty King Jie to the death!"

At the end of the meeting, all the nobles walked out of the hall and walked towards the gate of the palace. Zhong Jie and Zeng Tai followed the crowd to the outside of the hall.

Zeng Tai said with a smile: "Your Majesty in power is well-received by everyone, it is really a joy to congratulate the successor king."

Zhongjie said: "I'm ashamed of Zhongjie, if it wasn't for the help of Di Gong and all the officials, the Yueshi would probably still be caught in civil strife and unable to extricate themselves."

Zeng Tai said: "Your Majesty...ah no, His Majesty the King is serious."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

A guard rushed to Zhong Jie and said, "Under the order of the ruling lord, we have found the four servants who escorted the body of the Turkic special envoy Yaqa to the Zhongtu Temple."

Zhong Jie and Zeng Tai looked at each other and said, "Where is it now?"

The guard said: "Waiting for inquiries in the back garden."

Zhong Jie said to Zeng Tai, "Let's go."

The two walked quickly to the back garden.

People coming and going in front of the post house are very lively.

Di Renjie paced slowly in the room and murmured: "Sabriot, Saborio... where did I hear this name?"

Wang Mang stood outside the door of Di Renjie's room with a tea tray, and looked inside through the crack of the door.

In the room, Di Renjie was contemplating and pacing slowly.

At this time, Li Yuanfang and Ruyan walked over.

Li Yuanfang was about to speak when Di Renjie's voice came from inside: "Jing Yang, Yuan Fang, Ru Yan, come in!"

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Ruyan walked quickly in front of Di Renjie and saluted, "My lord (uncle)."

Di Renjie nodded to Ruyan: "Is there something going on with Wu Niang?"

Ruyan nodded: "Wu Niang's behavior is getting more and more weird. This morning, she left the post house and wandered aimlessly on Suter Street. After a while, she suddenly squatted in the middle of the street and started crying..."

Di Renjie, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other and said, "Oh... what happened next?"

Ruyan said: "I hurried up to talk to her. She was panicked when she saw me, and she was a little at a loss. I pretended I didn't know anything, and chatted with her for a while, and she suddenly said to me that our situation is very dangerous. Let me advise you to leave immediately, otherwise everyone will die without a place to die."

Di Renjie took a deep breath and said, "She must know something, but she has something to hide and refuses to speak out."

Ruyan said: "I think so too."

Li Yuanfang said: "It's strange, she has no relatives or reasons here, and no one has provoked her, so what can she hide?"

Ruyan said: "No, according to my many days of observation, there must be a huge secret hidden in Wu Niang. But for some reason, she refuses to tell it."

Di Renjie took a deep breath and said, "This matter is not simple. Wu Niang's strange behavior can never be groundless. It must be closely related to our current situation or the case we are investigating."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang raised their eyebrows and said, "Oh?"

Di Renjie instructed: "Ruyan, you must pay attention to guiding Wu Niang so that she will not be on guard against you, so that she can tell the truth. My intuition tells me that maybe we can get something we want to know from her mouth."

Ruyan took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, let me try!"

Di Renjie patted her on the shoulder, Wang Mang handed over the tea bowl and said, "My lord, drink some water!"

Di Renjie took a sip from the tea bowl and said, "Well, good, it's really fragrant tea!"

Li Yuanfang said: "It's been a whole day, you're Shui Mi, and you locked yourself in your room after you came back from the palace. My lord, what are you thinking?"

Di Renjie put down the teacup and said, "During the interrogation of Nalu today, she mentioned a name—Sabriel..."

Li Yuanfang continued: "Sa Bolue, are you talking about the old king of the Yue family?"

Di Renjie nodded: "Exactly, this name is very familiar, but I still can't remember where I heard it."

Li Yuanfang said: "Why, my lord, is this name very important?"

Di Renjie took a deep breath and said, "I have a faint feeling that it seems to have a great relationship with me and the whole conspiracy that started from the Luoyang Shanjin Bureau, but, just..."

Wang Mang frowned, he was silent in thought.
