Chapter 119: Killing chickens to make an example to monkeys
Several people followed the emperor and looked at Shangguan Ye at the same time.
Shangguan Ye raised his eyebrows, put down the tea cup, and said slowly, "What else is there to discuss? Since the evidence of the crime is conclusive and the list is complete, why are you hesitating? Just arrest these people first. What do you want to know? A
If people don’t say it, even if two people don’t say it, there are hundreds of people out there, and no one is willing to say it?”
Hou Qianxing frowned slightly, but nodded in agreement. Although he didn't like torture and torture, it was still the best way to deal with these enemy spies.
"But..." Hou Qianxing pondered for a moment, then asked, "If the minister of the DPRK is implicated..." At this point, he couldn't help but look at Murong Qiufeng, who had been frowning and worried beside Shangguan Ye.
The meaning is obvious. He can insert people without anyone noticing. The Prime Minister, the head of the civil service, is the biggest suspect.
The emperor also knew what he meant and sighed, "The emperor broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people. This time, no matter what, a thorough investigation will be carried out and no one will be spared. Those two hundred people will be unified when they are asked what they say."
Wen Zhan, the heads will be sent to various countries, I want those guys to know that Yanguo is not easy to bully."
Murong Qiufeng pursed his lips tightly and looked a little ugly. Regardless of whether the Murong family was involved or not, his eldest brother Murong Hao must have been a part of it. The emperor's words were so firm, and it was obvious that he was trying to scare the monkeys. I am afraid that the eldest brother will be killed in the end.
, difficult to guarantee.
Shangguan Ye reached out to cover his hand that was holding the armrest of the chair, and tapped it gently to comfort him - there would always be a way.
Murong Qiufeng turned to look at him, the sadness in his eyes was not reduced by half, he was a little helpless and helpless, but he did not want Shangguan Ye to help, because that would inevitably make it difficult for Shangguan Ye and more likely to endanger him.
He sighed softly, reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth, shook his head stiffly at him, and smiled.
Shangguan Ye frowned when he saw the forced smile on his face again, thinking that he might as well just ignore these trivial matters and take him out for a sightseeing tour to relax his mind.
The emperor and Hou Qianxing couldn't help but twitch their mouths as they looked at the two people's expressions of affection, and the originally serious atmosphere also had some strange and subtle feelings.
"Ahem, that's it. Hou Aiqing, I will leave this matter to you. This golden dragon sword represents me. If anyone dares to resist, he will be killed. Anyone who pleads for mercy will be arrested together and imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison first."
The emperor coughed to break the ambiguity between the two, and then took out a prepared dragon-carving sword for Yu Guan.
Guan Yu quickly took it and handed it to Hou Qianxing.
Hou Qianxing had a solemn look on his face. He took the gold medal and felt even heavier. He took a deep breath and bowed slightly, "I accept the order."
Then the emperor turned to look at Shangguan Ye and Murong Qiu Feng, "Emperor brother, Qiu Feng, I would like to trouble you to investigate more about Zhao Xiru's matter. I hope to catch Zhao Xiru as soon as possible. I am really worried that there will be
More officials are being taken advantage of."
"Yes." Murong Qiufeng nodded in response. Shangguan Ye had already directly pulled him up, hugged him and said lazily, "Then let's break up." After that, he took Murong Qiufeng away.
Murong Qiufeng was a little embarrassed as he held her in his arms, half dragged and half pushed him away. He quickly turned around and said hastily, "Excuse me."
The emperor looked at the two people's backs, his mouth twitched again, his face was uncertain, and then it turned into deep helplessness and headache, and he only felt that his temples were more swollen and painful.
Hou Qianxing's mouth also twitched, he quickly saluted the emperor, and then left in a hurry.
Hou Qianxing's work efficiency can be said to be astonishing. That day, the court was shaken several times. That night, the whole Lucheng city was brightly lit, with ghosts crying and howling everywhere. Several mansions in Lucheng city were ransacked, and almost a hundred people
The officials were thrown into prison, and those who were not imprisoned were because they were serving in other places. However, Kuai Ma has already sent out the notice, and it is estimated that it will be about the same time. I am afraid that the entire Yan Kingdom will be in turmoil, and there will really be a court ceremony.
Clean.
Other senior executives who have not yet been jailed were also questioned and interrogated one by one, and no one was spared.
This made people even more panicked.
The Dugu family has been banned recently, and several younger members of the family were arrested tonight. When Dugu Xian heard about it, he was so angry that he vomited blood and even took a big knife to clean out the family.
Ever since he was framed and grounded, he had been drinking and cursing all day long, waiting for the day when the case would be found out before he could curse and vent his anger. However, he did not expect that one of the younger members of his family was actually involved in collaborating with the enemy and treason.
This is not a small crime, it is a major matter to destroy the nine tribes, and now the evidence of the crime is conclusive, it is difficult to defend, the Dugu Mansion is in a state of panic, everyone is panic-stricken, and they are crying everywhere.
However, there is one place that is pretty good, and that is Anjia.
The An family was originally the first family to be involved in collaboration with the enemy and the country, but today there was an incident of impersonating Concubine An. In this way, it can be said that the crime was all committed by the maid.
The An family is still the victim, so the involvement is not serious. Not only was the injustice done, but the daughter was also welcomed back. In addition, Concubine An was innocently victimized. I am afraid that the emperor will favor her even more because of guilt. It can be said to be a blessing in disguise. No, it is only evening.
As soon as the An family welcomed their daughter out of the dark room, the emperor sent someone to bring a lot of medicinal materials and told her not to enter the palace yet, to take good care of her body, and to wait for a while before entering the palace again. It was obvious that she already had a protective attitude. Isn't this a blessing in disguise?
.
As for the Prime Minister's Mansion, the situation is a bit more delicate.
Although Murong Xing's injury has almost healed, his body has always been weak and he has been recuperating in bed.
Murong Qiufeng didn't want to tell him these things now, for fear that he would be worried about harming his body, but how could she hide it from him.
After all, Jiang is still very old. Even if he doesn't go out, he still knows what he should know and what he shouldn't know. He even knows about Murong Hao.
This was also the reason why he had been sick and worried too much. After a few days, he seemed to have aged several years. There were only a few scattered white hairs on his head, but now they were almost black and white.
"Ahem..."
"Father, mother." Before Murong Qiufeng entered the room, he heard the Prime Minister coughing constantly inside, while the Prime Minister's wife kept taking care of him. The room was very quiet, and the smell of medicine was everywhere.
Murong Qiufeng felt a little sad.
Shangguan Ye walked in with him and patted his lower back gently to comfort him.
Murong Qiufeng put away her sadness and walked over.
"Oh, Feng'er, why are you here when you have time? Ah, the prince is here too. Come on, come on, sit down. Have you had dinner?"
"Eat, mother, don't be busy." Murong Qiufeng hurriedly went to help the prime minister's wife. It seemed that after this time, she had aged a lot, and she had been in poor spirits and a little haggard.
Shangguan Ye had already taken the lead, "Mother-in-law, please sit down and be careful with your body."
Shangguan Ye's actions and words made the room quiet for a while, and several people including Murong Qiufeng were stunned for a while.
Because Shangguan Ye was called mother-in-law, this was the first time he was called like that, because he is a prince, and even though he is now their son-in-law, his rank is much higher, so there is no need to call him that, just like it is impossible to call him an emperor.
The parents and father-in-law of those concubines are just like that.
Therefore, it was very subtle for Shangguan Ye to call her mother-in-law, and he didn't feel at all unwilling to do so. He seemed to call her mother-in-law naturally.
Murong Qiufeng was stunned for a moment and then understood what he meant. His face suddenly turned red, but his heart felt warm.
Shangguan Ye not only wanted to strengthen his heart to him, but also promised him that his parents were his parents, and he would definitely protect them and take good care of them.
