A sneer appeared in Feng Zhiwei's eyes, and said, "Yes."
Tian Shengdi avoided her gaze.
Feng Zhiwei's eyes mocked—where did the list come from? Peng Pei really wanted to accept bribes, how could he be so stupid as to leave a list? She said this to prove Peng Pei's crime and to test Emperor Tiansheng's attitude towards the case. Anyway, her mansion was burned, so it is reasonable for her not to be able to produce a list for a while. Emperor Tiansheng really wanted to investigate, and she also It is possible to find out who is involved in the end, but now, Emperor Tiansheng has not even asked anyone to go to her mansion to have a look. It can be seen that the determination to suppress this case has already been made up.
With a sneer in his heart, without revealing anything on his face, he continued, "With this doubt, Weichen paid more attention to the test questions of Chun Wei, and secretly arranged the protection of the test questions. On the surface, there is no difference between night guards. Loose and tight inside, no water leaks, especially when the minister is not on duty and the two servants are not around, the minister is more careful."
"On the night of the theft of the test questions, the secret guards sent by my ministers came to report to my ministers that there were people around the Ministry of Rites whose whereabouts were surreptitious and seemed suspicious. I didn't want to startle the snake, so I ordered the guards to be careful."
"Subsequently, a fire broke out in Weichen's mansion. At that time, Weichen knew something was wrong, and it must have something to do with the list, so he didn't dare to wander around, so he followed to the palace of the Second Highness."
"Let the grass people talk about the following." Zong Chen suddenly said, "Cao Min Zong Chen, a Nanhai native, was born in Wuquan Mountain in the South China Sea, and has a close relationship with Yan Huaishi, the head of the Yan family. Caomin led a group of guards from Yan's family to protect the benefactor. On the night of the incident, Caomin saw a figure flashing past the wall outside the wall of the Ministry of Rituals. Following the man in black, he saw him unlock and steal the test questions, and then locked the door again before leaving. Cao Min followed him until he reached the West Er Hutong of Donglou Street, and found Li Changyong wandering around there, so he understood what was going on. , So I went out to intercept the thief in Xi'er Hutong, took away the test questions, and then captured Li Changyong. The matter is very important, no matter who you hand it over to, you may be convicted in the future because of the exposure to the test questions, so I found Tian Liu, who had a good relationship with Mr. Wei in the early days, and then quit Qingming because of an eye disease, and asked him to pretend to be Li Changyong for this matter. , Tianliu was a righteous person, agreed without hesitation, and went to the vicinity of Beisi Hutong with the test questions in his arms... Later, he was caught by the Imperial Capital as expected."
Emperor Tiansheng listened with his eyes half-closed, as if he was thinking about whether there was anything suspicious about this passage. After deliberating for a long time, he felt that it was impeccable. Wei Zhi's response was considered well-intentioned. Tian Liu, if you talk about the crime of negligence, you are just being critical.
After a while Tian Shengdi asked with a sullen face, "Why is Tian Liu here with you now?"
"Your Majesty." Zong Chen smiled, "Whether it's the theft of test questions or the arrest of people by the Imperial Capital, the timing is too coincidental. He suffered so much that he even lost his life, so the grass people have been watching carefully, and after the first interrogation over there, they stole Brother Tianliu out. .”
"Where is the person you said who stole the test questions now?"
"Caomin has already captured him. This man is stubborn. Caomin thinks he has no right to interrogate this person on behalf of the country's legal system, but he is not at ease handing him over to the current Imperial Capital and the Ministry of Punishment. He is afraid that he will die accidentally. This person is now in Caomin. If His Majesty wishes, the grass people can hand him over to the Royal Forest Army directly."
In the hall, Master Wu's face was completely pale, Emperor Tiansheng pondered for a moment, and said coldly: "I will send someone to bring this person up later."
Zong Chen smiled, bowed and stepped back.
Master Wu tremblingly went to grab the teacup. He raised his hand several times and then dropped it stiffly. Master Hu immediately supported him by his side, and said with a low smile, "Old Wu, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly? What's wrong? "
University scholar Wu gave him a dull look, knowing in his heart that he was inappropriate, and tried his best to calm down, but his heart was in a mess, burning like boiling oil, how could he maintain his dignity
The second prince's face was dark, and he couldn't tell it was white, but there was a faint bluish-yellow color on his face, and the fingers placed under the table were trembling slightly in no one's place.
The Seventh Prince's folding fan half-covered his face, covering the expression on his face. A beautifully embroidered fan pendant between his fingers lost some silk tassels for some reason, and he silently put the silk tassels into his sleeves.
Glancing sideways at Ning Yi, the Seventh Prince snorted coldly in his heart... His Majesty would not leave the palace today, this was confirmed by his many inquiries, who asked His Majesty to come here to hear the trial? Arrived in such a timely manner
Fall short...again.
"Your Majesty." After a long time, Feng Zhiwei said softly, as if sighing, "Some people really took great pains to concoct this shocking case. They stole the Ministry of Rites, burned Wei's mansion, colluded with officials, and forged witnesses. Today they brought Almost all the testimonies in court were perjured, so frenzied and shocking..."
She sighed, as if she didn't regret her death, but it was worrying to have such vicious courtiers around His Majesty.
Emperor Tiansheng remained silent.
The hall was silent again.
Different from the previous deep and oppressive silence, the silence at this moment is cold and scorching hot, and there is a trembling breath flowing in the air, like the cool incense ash in the purple-gold copper furnace overnight. The dark red jumping sparks are just waiting for the dust to blow away, splashing loudly—
"Peng Pei!"
Sure enough, the silence was broken in an instant, and Emperor Tiansheng's angry shout resounded like a hurricane in the lobby in an instant!
Peng Pei, who was already semi-conscious due to excessive bleeding and pain, leaned against the fence and couldn't get up, and didn't even know what he said afterwards, was shaken by the sound, and suddenly woke up, his eyes widened, terrified Seeing Emperor Tiansheng push the case angrily, he pulled the long sword worn by a guard of the Imperial Forest Army behind him, ran to him quickly, grabbed it in his hand, and chopped off at him—
"I killed you crazy bastard!"
