Chapter 125 Sing a play
After Xing Chong finished speaking, he handed over the charges.
After looking at it for a while, the emperor slapped the accusation on the table and angrily said, "You traitor! You beast!"
"Your Majesty, this case is deeply involved and has many connections! Therefore, your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible to appease Mingxin!" Wu Guozhang said with cupped hands.
"Yes, Father! In this boudoir meeting, all the aristocratic families contributed money to help the disaster in northern Henan. If we can't give them a satisfactory answer! I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of all the aristocratic families in the world! It is said that this time, the rich young master of Huitong Trading Company was poisoned. Fortunately, it did not lead to a tragedy... Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous." Xiao Wenyan said with his hand.
As soon as Xiao Wenyan opened his mouth, more and more people agreed.
Xiao Shentian frowned slightly and said, "Xing Chong, according to the laws of Daxia, what should we do?"
"These people should all be beheaded by the Queen of Autumn!" Xing Chonggong said with his hands.
Xiao Shentian said to Xing Chong, "Then according to the laws of Daxia, he will be thrown into the heavenly prison and beheaded by the Queen of Autumn!"
"Your Majesty, there are still more than four months before the autumn harvest. It will be difficult to support the people if they ask for execution after the autumn. Now, there are hundreds of people standing at the gate of the palace with coffins parked at the gate of the palace to cry out for injustice and beg Your Majesty to seek justice!" Xiao Shentian said.
"Yes, Father! If you let them wait for four months, those aristocratic families will think that you are deliberately showing favoritism... My son suggested that we directly issue an imperial edict and kill the Queen Mother after her fast is over!" Xiao Wenyan said with his hand in hand. .
"I second the proposal..."
"I second the proposal..."
Without waiting for Xiao Shentian to speak.
Xing Chong continued, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Shentian said to Xing Chong with a slight frown.
He actually already knew in his heart what he was going to say next.
Including everything today, Huangfu Qiu went to the palace to report in the middle of the night yesterday.
"During yesterday's interrogation, I was involved in a case within a case!" Xing Chong said.
Xiao Shentian signaled Xing Chongzhi to speak.
Xing Chong continued, "When I interrogated Xie Xunfeng and Guan Chong, I also learned that the two of them were also ordered by the warden Huangfu to trap the young master of Linxian Village, the second son of the Yuan family, and Yuan Chong. Ba. Huangfu Ling also formed a clique with the four princes for personal gain to gain the crown prince position, and also planned the assassination at the South Gate!"
Xing Chong's words immediately caused an uproar in the entire audience.
"The reason why Xie Zhizi was able to accurately tell the location of the murder before was because he was also involved in this matter. He learned that Your Majesty was not in the carriage. The story screamed loudly. He was not trying to help us. He was here. Remind the leader of those assassins. So, when we caught him, we didn’t find the leader!"
"The above evidence has been conclusive. The fourth prince, Guan Chong, and Xie Xufeng all confessed! Because of Huangfu Ling's special status, he has not yet gone to arrest him. I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an order. I will go and arrest him!"
After Wu Guozhang heard this, he was the first to jump out and said with an ugly face, "Your Majesty! The warden is your majesty's confidant. The fourth prince actually colluded with your cronies. This crime is aggravated! Huangfu Ling planned treason and should be punished by death. , implicating the nine tribes!! Please give your Majesty’s decree!”
"Your Majesty, please issue an order!"
...
Xiao Shentian looked extremely ugly. He slapped the table and said, "This is really unreasonable! How dare they be so arrogant! They have no regard for the laws of the country. Put them all on death row! After the Queen Mother's fast is over, she will be executed on a different day!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Everyone knelt down and shouted.
Xiao Shentian said, "After this incident, I also discovered that the position of the prince is uncertain, and the people in the court are unstable..."
Xiao Shentian said, looking at Xiao Wenyan and saying, "First Prince, as the eldest son, it's time for you to share some of my burdens!"
Xiao Wenyan's face suddenly became overjoyed, and he knelt down and said, "My son, I will work hard to share my father's worries."
Xiao Shentian nodded and said, "After killing those traitors and female thieves, we will conduct the canonization ceremony!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Another burst of mountain roar...
Xiao Shentian announced his resignation without saying anything.
...
In the Hall of Nourishing Heart
Xiao Shentian saw Huangfu Qiu waiting early.
"Huangfu Qiu, I did what you said... Is what you said reliable? In this way, the masterminds of the assassination can be uprooted? Is the plan you said reliable?"
Huangfu Qiu smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, I also heard what Xie Zhizi said... As for whether I am sure, I don't know."
Yesterday, after Huangfu Qiu heard Hou Jie's message, he disguised himself and went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
After meeting Xie Xunfeng, Xie Xunfeng told him a plan.
After hearing Xie Xunfeng's plan, Huangfu Qiu felt that the risk was very high.
However, it does work.
In this way, the person behind the assassination can be uprooted at the minimum cost.
Xiao Shentian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Let's do this first! I will accompany that idiot to sing this big show! After all, if it doesn't work, there is still room for change."
At this moment, Huangfu nodded repeatedly.
"It's you, be careful..." Xiao Shentian said to Huangfu Qiu.
Huangfu Qiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have been working in the prison for so many years... I still have the ability..."
While talking, Eunuch Chang stood at the door and said, "Your Majesty, Master Yan is here."
"Please come quickly!" Xiao Shentian said quickly.
Xiao Shentian said to Huangfu Qiu, "You go do your thing first."
Huangfu Qiu smiled and slipped out of the window on one side.
Yan Song came over after a while.
Xiao Shentian sat at a table and pretended to review the memorial.
After Yan Song came over, he stood in front of the table and waited quietly without saying a word.
Xiao Shentian waited for a while and then said to Yan Song, "Master Yan, are you here?"
Yan Song raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what you have summoned me to do..."
After hearing Yan Song's words, Xiao Shentian smiled faintly, and then said, "Master Yan, why didn't you say a word in the hall today? Is it possible? Do you have any opinions?"
Yan Song glanced at Xiao Shentian and said, "Your Majesty, I have no objection. However, I maintain my suspicion."
Xiao Shentian smiled faintly, and then said to Yan Song, "Master Yan, what do you mean? Suspicion? Do you think there is something wrong with the case that Xing Chong is trying?"
Seeing what Xiao Shentian said, Yan Song's suspicions became more confirmed, thinking that the time had almost come.
"Your Majesty, I think that there is something wrong with the case reviewed by the Minister of Justice! Moreover, I don't think the charges he mentioned are true... there is something fishy in it! Therefore, I think that the fourth prince, Guan Shizi, Xie Zhizi,
Even Huangfu Ling is innocent!" Yan Song took a step forward and said with cupped hands.
