County Lord Changning

Chapter 158 Provocation
"Your Majesty, I have found 30 unregistered maids in the palace, including five from Xiangkun Palace, three from Yonghe Palace, 12 from Eunuch Clothes Bureau, and ten from Nuanchun Pavilion." Lu Xiao knelt in the hall, Looking up at Yin Jinglan who was sitting on the dragon chair, "Nanchun Pavilion is the place where the emperor shelters from the cold in winter, and other people are not allowed to enter or leave, but these unregistered people can serve in Nuanchun Pavilion, I think there must be someone In the palace, the emperor must find out who arranged these people into the palace with internal and external cooperation, and he must not let them go easily."

Yin Jinglan raised his eyebrows, his face was calm and he couldn't see any joy. He glanced at the trembling ministers standing in the hall, hooked the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Chen Xiang, what do you think about this matter?"

Chen Ming stood up, bowed his body, and said in a serious voice, "Your Majesty, this happened not long after King Qi entered the palace. I'm afraid he has something to do with it. Please also order the emperor to arrest King Qi and bring him back to the palace for questioning."

"Oh?" Yin Jinglan's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, but his face remained calm, "Chen Xiang means that King Qi is going to attack me?"

"Your Majesty has clearly observed that King Qi has lived in the southern land all year round, and the conditions are difficult. It is inevitable that he will have resentment towards the Emperor. Please, Your Majesty, be defenseless!"

Yin Jinglan nodded, looked at another man who had been staring straight ahead without a trace of expression, and asked, "What do you think of Shusuke?"

Zhang Zhou stood up with a serious expression on his face, "Your Majesty, I think that the person who dares to install so many eyeliners in the palace and is not afraid of being discovered should not be King Qi. His Highness King Qi is far away in the sky. Even if those people succeeded in assassinating the Emperor, I'm afraid he won't get any benefits when he comes back, so I think that as long as he is not blind, he will not think that those eyeliners were arranged by King Qi."

Yin Jinglan finally had a smile in his eyes. Zhang Zhou was already the chief assistant of the Chen Kingdom at the age of 40. Although he was inseparable from the Zhang family behind him, Yin Jinglan admired his talent and courage. One thing is that he appreciates Zhang Zhou's disposition of not getting along with others.Yin Jinglan nodded, and asked in a deep voice, "Who does the chief assistant think did this?"

"Of course it's among us." Zhang Zhou snorted, "I don't trust these people in court, and I don't know what some people think!"

"Shoufu, what do you mean by this!" Wei Guoan stood up and shouted coldly, "Didn't you make the emperor suspicious of all of us and make everyone feel cold about the emperor? The emperor was respected by all of us back then." Superior!"

"That's why you are so capable!" Zhang Zhou said coldly, "You think that if you have the ability to push the emperor to the throne, you will have the ability to drag the emperor down. An Guogong, you remember, this Chen Guo's surname is Yin!"

Yin Jinglan raised his eyebrows, Zhang Zhou really dared to say it, and he wasn't afraid of incurring a murderous disaster for himself?

"Zhang Zhou, you are bloody!" Wei Guoan's hands trembled angrily. He knelt down on the ground with a plop, looked up at Yin Jinglan, and said sadly, "The old minister of the emperor asked himself that he was loyal to Chen Guo, but today he was told by Zhang Shoufu As a rebel, in order to show my innocence, I ask the emperor to resign."

"Your Majesty, think twice." A minister immediately knelt down.

Except Zhang Zhou.

Yin Jinglan frowned slightly as she watched the drama unfolding in the main hall. How could the news not reach the main hall?

"That's enough, what's the proper way?" Yin Jinglan said in a deep voice, "When did Zhang Shoufu say that you conspired against me? Why didn't I hear it? Who in the civil and military courts doesn't know Wei Gong, what you have done for Chen Kingdom, I don't want to do it again I heard you say such a silly resignation, do you understand?"

A triumphant smile flashed across Wei Guoan's eyes, he turned his head to look at Zhang Zhou who was standing there, and kowtowed again, "Please allow the old minister to resign! Give the old minister a clean slate!"

"Wei Gong, have you decided to go?" Yin Jinglan looked at Wei Guoan who was kneeling in the hall, and asked quietly.

Wei Guoan's heart sank, he looked up at Yin Jinglan and remained silent for a while.

Zhang Zhou was also surprised. He also raised his head and looked at Yin Jinglan inscrutablely, guessing Yin Jinglan's thoughts.

Yin Jinglan saw Wei Guoan's appearance, sneered in his heart, and asked again, "Wei Gong, I will ask you again, are you determined to go?"

Wei Guoan kowtowed, and said excitedly with a crying voice, "The emperor please play!"

"now that···"

"Your Majesty..." A young eunuch hurried in and knelt down on the hall, "Your Majesty..."

Yin Jinglan raised her eyebrows, finally came...
It seems that the official Wei Guoan cannot resign.

He Kun has been paying attention to Yin Jinglan's expression, seeing that his lips are slightly pursed, he knows that he is unhappy, and immediately shouted, "Why don't you say anything quickly, what to do in a hurry!"

The little eunuch said tremblingly, "The emperor Jing Zhaoyin sent news, saying..."

He Kun shouted, "Say what you say once, and what to do with hesitation!"

Yin Jinglan raised his hand to stop He Kun, looked at the little eunuch, and asked him to say, the little eunuch fell on the ground and said tremblingly, "Say Wei Shizi...Wei Shizi is dead..."

"What?" Wei Guoan, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up from the ground, rushed over and grabbed the young eunuch's collar and asked, "What did you just say?"

The little eunuch was taken aback, but he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly said it again, "Jing Zhaoyin said that someone discovered this morning...Wei Shizi was found dead in the pigpen in Xiaoliu Hutong..."

Wei Guoan stared, and fell straight down.

Those ministers immediately stepped forward to support Wei Guoan, "An Guogong...Guo Gongye..."

Wei Guoan quickly woke up. He knelt on the ground and looked at Yin Jinglan, "I beg the emperor to make the decision for Xiaoer!"

Yin Jinglan frowned and nodded, "You broke the law at the feet of the emperor, An Guogong, don't worry, I will let the Ministry of Criminal Justice investigate clearly, and I will give you an explanation!" After finishing speaking, he asked in a deep voice, "Is Jingzhao Yin here? Chuan Jingzhao Yin!"

Soon Jing Zhaoyin came, Yin Jinglan asked in detail, Yin Jinglan nodded with a sullen face, "Is the autopsy ready?"

Jing Zhaoyin shook his head, "I don't dare to take a knife on Shizi's corpse... Shizi's corpse is still in the government office."

Yin Jinglan looked at Wei Guoan, "Wei Gong, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, this must be slander. Although my son likes to hang out with friends, he has always been a person with a bad reputation. Someone must want to ruin his reputation!" Wei Guoan was so angry that he wanted to faint, but he dared not I fainted, afraid that if I fainted, someone would come and see the joke.

Yin Jinglan nodded, "I will let the Ministry of Punishments investigate clearly, and the truth must be revealed!"

"Thank you, my majesty, my majesty." Wei Guoan's hair turned gray in an instant, and he seemed to be ten years older.

Yin Jinglan looked at Wei Guoan, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
