The sedan was suddenly seized. Although Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping and Zuo Zhong, the two ministers of the Ministry of Justice, were a little embarrassed, they were not too panicked.
One by one they jumped up and then fell to the ground.
But the wife of Zuo Shilang sitting in the last sedan is a bit tragic. As the newly married wife of Zuo Shilang, she is definitely young and beautiful. She is usually doted on by Zuo Shilang and cannot be called coquettish, but , but I have never experienced an incident of being attacked on a sedan chair.
He didn't react in time and fell to the ground. His whole skirt was lifted up by the flying wood pieces. There were countless scratches on his body and clothes.
Such a scene naturally fell into the eyes of countless people and government officials.
"Wow!"
When the people and government officials looked at the leaked spring sunshine, they all squinted their eyes and covered their faces with their hands, making a look of don't look at any evil.
However, soon, their exclamations began again.
because…
In addition to Mrs. Zuo Shilang who was lying on the ground in a miserable state, there were eight other figures who were more attractive than Mrs. Zuo Shilang.
They were eight men wearing thick rattan armor. When they landed on the ground, everyone's face was also extremely surprised.
Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's eyes lit up at this time.
With such outfits and figures, one could almost tell the identities of these people without even taking a second glance. They were the envoys from the Southern Territory who were captured and imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
When the surrounding people saw the eight Southern Territory envoys appearing out of thin air, they all lowered their palms that were blocking their sight, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Is it really hidden in the sedan?"
"You actually hid the criminals in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and took them out in a sedan?"
"Now... there's something good to watch!"
After everyone saw the envoy from the Southern Territory, they naturally understood what happened. After all, what happened in Qixingfang tonight had long been spread in Yanjing City.
These Southern Territory envoys assassinated Fang Zhengyi, and then were suggested by the Ninth Prince to be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and then escorted over by the Ministry of War. This matter was witnessed and known to almost all the people of Yanjing City.
And now...
These eight envoys from the Southern Territory appeared in the sedan chair of Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping and Zuo Zhong, the two ministers. How could people not know the reason for such a thing
Privately mention the criminal to the Ministry of Criminal Justice!
Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping is a little embarrassed now, but these are not the most important. The most important thing is that his eyes also fell on the eight Southern Territory envoys, which made his face somewhat pale.
He could not imagine why these eight Southern Territory envoys suddenly started shaking in the sedan chair even though they were about to leave. It was precisely because of these people's shaking that the envoy Duan Wang Lin Xinjue found the reason.
"Why is this happening?" Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping really didn't understand.
Of course he knew the details of these eight Southern Territory envoys. It was precisely because he knew it that he was even more unwilling to believe it. In his heart, let alone staying at the Yamen Gate for such a short time, even if he was stabbed in the sedan chair with a gun. , it is absolutely impossible for these people to move
But now, these are no longer important. What is important is that these people moved and jumped out of the sedan. The next thing to do is to solve this problem.
A reason, a reasonable reason!
One reason after another quickly flashed through Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping's mind.
But soon, those reasons were rejected by him.
because…
Faced with such a thing, there is no explanation at all.
However, this is not difficult for Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping. As the first minister of the dynasty and a dignified Zuo Xiang, he has been in the court for decades and has never seen anything.
Calm down, you have to be calm.
"I didn't expect His Highness Duan Wang to actually take action against the truth. Okay, very good. The truth about this matter will be revealed to the Holy Lord. Please prepare an explanation for His Highness Duan Wang!" Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping's momentum remained unabated.
"Why, isn't Yu Xiang ready to explain what is happening in front of him?" Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's eyes flashed with cold light as he looked at the eight Southern Territory envoys who looked surprised.
"Do you need an explanation? The two ministers of Zuo Zhong interrogate the important criminals overnight. Isn't it possible?" Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping looked at the two ministers of Zuo Zhong behind him.
When the two ministers from Zuo Zhong heard Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping's words, they both looked at each other, then quickly straightened their clothes and walked behind Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping.
"That's right, after we learned about the case, we tried it all night. Now we are reaching a critical point. We want to take these prisoners to Qixingfang to extract important evidence. The relationship between this matter is hidden and we have not reported it to His Highness Prince Duan. Please forgive me, His Highness Duan Wang. However, why did His Highness Duan Wang prevent us from extracting evidence? Can you give me an explanation?" Zuo Shilang said quickly.
As the minister of the Ministry of Justice, he naturally knows the rules of the Ministry of Justice in handling cases better than Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping, and it is easier for him to find breakthroughs to solve problems.
"Your Excellency, you are so eloquent. The prisoner has just been sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and he will be sent back to Qixingfang immediately?" Duan Wang Lin Xinjue frowned slightly, and the hilt of the sword in his hand tightened in an instant.
"If His Royal Highness Duan Wang has any doubts about the methods of our Criminal Department's handling of cases, you can confront him in front of the Holy Lord!" When the matter reached this point, the only thing Zuo Shilang could do was to bite him to death.
Moreover, even if he really went to confront the Holy Lord, he would still have an excuse.
After all, the Criminal Department's handling of cases is unique. Sometimes, it is not completely unheard of to do something obscure.
Turning the matter into official business and throwing it back to Duan Wang Lin Xinjue again was their method of hiding in the court after serving as officials for many years.
When Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping saw this, he also had a sneer on his lips.
When the people around heard the words of the two ministers on the left and right, they all looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what was going on.
Things seem to have reached an impasse again.
However…
At this time, an envoy from the Southern Territory suddenly seemed to have become sober. He rushed towards Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping and hugged Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping's thigh firmly.
"Master Prime Minister, please help me. What happened today has been exposed. I don't want to die. Please help me, Mr. Prime Minister!" The envoy from the Southern Territory begged bitterly as he spoke.
"boom!"
Such a sudden change instantly made everyone's faces look confused.
Not only the people and government officials surrounding them couldn't react, but the two ministers on the left and middle were also unable to react. Their eyes bulged, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, because they couldn't react anyway. Unexpectedly, these Southern Territory envoys would say such things.
Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping, whose thigh was hugged by the Southern Territory envoy, was even more pale.
How can it be
Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping stared at the Southern Territory envoy who was hugging his thigh with wide eyes. He couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
These people are all dead soldiers!
Dead soldier? !
That is a person who would rather die than expose his master. How could something like today, first rocking in the sedan chair and then hugging his own thighs and shouting for help, happen
Zuo Xiangyu Yiping didn't believe it.
I won't believe it even to death.
Not only Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping didn't believe it, but Duan Wang Lin Xinjue also looked surprised. What kind of plot is this? Isn't the person you are looking for so low-level
He actually sold his master like this
Moreover, it was still unreasonable. Although he clearly had an absolute advantage, he sold everything without any hesitation and without any mercy.
what happened
Duan Wang Lin Xinjue was also a little unable to react in time.
After Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping was stunned for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth. His body was trembling slightly, but he still tried his best to calm down.
"What are you talking about? I don't know you at all!" Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping said while winking hard at the Southern Territory envoy who was holding his thigh.
"Prime Minister, you can't leave us alone. We all followed your instructions. We used the pretext of killing Fang Zhengzheng, but actually we went to kill Yan Xiu. You made a good promise when you asked us to go. There won't be any accidents. Now that an accident has happened, you must save us!" The Southern Territory envoy ignored Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping's eyes and said again with a pitiful look.
"You... what are you talking about!" Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping's face finally turned pale again.
He already felt that the situation was a little out of control. This was a frame-up, a frame-up, and it was a frame-up with no technical content. The most important thing was, what did it mean to kill Yan Xiu
how so
Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping couldn't understand why things suddenly became like this.
These dead soldiers have obviously been trained for many years. How could such unreasonable words be said from the mouths of these dead soldiers.
Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping's eyes were fixed on the Southern Territory envoy in front of him.
Then, he saw a sneer rising from the corner of the Southern Territory envoy's mouth. It was an extremely obscure smile, but it was an extremely sinister smile.
Suddenly, Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping seemed to understand something.
Fang Zhengzheng!
This is the only explanation that Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping can think of now, because these people were all captured from Qixingfang, and he had indeed suspected that this was a trap before.
However, he was able to eliminate this suspicion when the spies reported that the person was sent to the Ministry of Punishment at the suggestion of the Ninth Prince and escorted there personally by people from the Ministry of War.
But now...
He understood that this was a trap, a trap waiting for him to fall into? What's even more terrifying is that this is a trap where whoever steps on will die.
A chill rose up on Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping's back at this moment.
He suddenly thought, what would happen if His Highness the Crown Prince came in person instead of himself? His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to assassinate Yan Xiu
If such a crime is really proven.
So, how will Yan Qianli, who is near Shili Lake, react when he finds out
"Fang Zhengzheng... What a Fang Zhengheng, ruthless and spicy!" Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping always felt that he was the hunter hiding in the dark, but now, he understood.
The real person hiding in the dark turned out to be Fang Zhengzheng who was always in the light.
When exactly
How could no one notice the substitution
correct!
Close the door, close the door!
Brilliant, really brilliant. If the door of Qixingfang is not closed, all these plans cannot be implemented. Brilliant, what is even more brilliant is to let the people sent by the truth to close the door themselves
Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping looked at the starry sky with a cold look on his face. To be able to climb to his current position, the hardships he has put in are naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people.
But now
But do you want to stop here and be abolished in one fell swoop
Not willing to give in.
Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping was really unwilling.
"No, there is still a chance. As long as these people are caught and put into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment for torture and interrogation, there will definitely be a chance to pry open their mouths!" Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping's eyes suddenly condensed, and then, as if in the darkness, He became excited as if he saw the last glimmer of light: "How dare you wrongly accuse a first-class official of the imperial court? Come on, take these people down!"
"Prime Minister, you... you actually want to cross the river and burn the bridge!" The Southern Territory envoy was shocked, and then he rolled away from Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping as quickly as if he was electrocuted.
"Take it!"
"Come on, take down these eight people together!"
When the Zuo Shilang and the Middle Shilang saw this scene, they naturally reacted quickly and quickly greeted the officials in the Criminal Department.
No answer.
Because the government officials had rushed out directly.
"Kill!"
"Don't let them get away!"
One by one, the government officials quickly displayed their weapons.
The eight Southern Territory envoys all showed hatred on their faces.
"Master Xiang is indeed as cruel as a wolf!"
"I didn't expect that the Prime Minister would actually cross the river and burn the bridge. We have followed the Prime Minister to the death for many years. Today, my brothers have accepted this 'grace'!"
"Brothers, fight out!"
The eight Southern Territory envoys were talking as they rushed out with all their strength to kill.
At this time, a city guard standing next to Duan Wang Lin Xinjue also looked at Duan Wang Lin Xinjue, with a somewhat inquiring look on his face.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" The city guard's voice was not loud.
"There was a great strategy recorded in ancient books, which was used by Han Xin, the sage who unified the army. It was also recorded in later generations. It was called 'building plank roads in the open and using the warehouse in secret'. Do you understand what I mean?" King Duan Lin Xinjue heard that the city guard Jun's words also showed a hint of coldness in the corner of his mouth.
"Understood!" The city guard's eyes immediately lit up, and then he also greeted the surrounding city guards: "Protect Mr. Yu Xiang, and the two ministers in the left and middle, and arrest the criminals!"
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, nearly a thousand city guards immediately responded.
Then, the spears in the hands of the city guards lit up and thrust out one after another. The spears instantly surrounded Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping, Zuo Zhong, the two ministers, and all the government officials.
As for the eight Southern Territory envoys, they were left aside.
The faces of Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping and Zuo Zhong, the two assistant ministers, changed when they saw this scene. To be able to sit in the position of Zuo Xiang, Yu Yiping's cultivation level is naturally not low.
only…
There's no way he could kill a group of city guards, right
"Go away, I don't need your protection!"
"Get out!" The two ministers on the left and middle looked equally anxious. They were surrounded by a group of city guards. How could they do anything? (To be continued.)
