As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Pang turned to look at the woman kneeling on the ground. He was immediately horrified and turned pale.
Just at this moment, the woman's eyes collided with his. Isn't this the man he thinks about day and night?
She eagerly came to Yan Pang, hugged his arm, and said coquettishly: "Master Yan! You miss the slave family to death. The slave family has been thinking about it for a few months since you left. The slave family has come all the way to find you."
is you."
From the moment the woman entered the hall, Yan Pang's heart sank to the bottom. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hung his head and shivered.
Seeing the woman hugging her arms in front of the emperor, her eyes suddenly shook like bells. How unbecoming is this?
Yan Pang was so angry that he threw away the woman's delicate body and shouted angrily: "Go away, who are you? Don't want to marry me randomly, I don't know you."
When the woman heard this, she became so angry that she raised her voice and said, "Hey? Mr. Yan, how can you be so heartless and unjust? Turn your back on me and refuse to recognize me? In Manchun Tower in Nanwu County, your words are better than your singing!"
"You said you would love me forever and marry me as your first wife. You forgot that I also sang a song for you. You said that this song should only be heard in heaven and is rarely heard in the world." When he said the last sentence, he said:
Be pretentious.
When Shu Shihuai heard this, his serious face almost broke into laughter, and he quickly corrected: "That's because of hearing, not listening."
The woman shook the handkerchief, put it on the tip of her nose to wipe it, and said nervously: "What? No, no, this music is for listening to it, not for smelling it."
In the main hall, all the courtiers shook their heads angrily after hearing this. It is really embarrassing to talk like a chicken and a duck.
Seeing that he was trying his best to distance himself from her, the woman was very angry. She pushed Yan Pang and cursed: "Hey? Killer of a Thousand Swords, how come you don't recognize someone when you lift your pants?"
Seeing this, Liang Jinghuan looked serious and his eyes were as bright as fire. He shouted sternly: "Quiet, don't talk nonsense in front of the Emperor." His big and thoughtful eyes flashed sternly, "Who are you kneeling down?"
A scolding made her tremble, "My Chunlian." The woman lowered her head and replied.
Liang Jinghuan asked: "Chunlian, in front of the emperor, you have to tell the truth. How can you prove that you and Mr. Yan have an affair? What is the proof?"
"Ah? What's the proof? Lord Yan often comes to Manchun Tower to see me, makes me a lot of promises, and gives me a lot of jewelry. Mother Wang can testify to this. Lord Yan also said that he and I will be a long-term couple.
Here." Chunlian said so shyly that she leaned against Master Yan's shoulder.
Yan Pang was so frightened that he pushed the woman away arrogantly and denied it with all his strength: "Go away, I don't know you. I never said that, Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
Chunlian was thrown to the ground, feeling dissatisfied. She thought about it secretly, turned to look at Yan Pang, and said coquettishly:
"Oh, I just remembered, Master Yan has a big red mole on his butt." As he said that, he held the handkerchief and made some gestures, which made everyone in the hall embarrassed.
Hearing this, Shu Shihuai couldn't help but cursed: "Vulgar."
At this time, Liang Jinghuan pointed to the guard outside and ordered: "Here, Master Yan, please go down and check."
Yan Pang knelt on the ground and cried out in horror, "Master Liang, I have been wronged! Your Majesty, please do not listen to slander!"
"Drag him down for examination." Liang Jinghuan gave the order with a straight face, and Yan Pang was escorted down by the guards in front of the palace.
After a while, the guard reported back: "Back to the emperor, Master Liang, Master Yan does have a big red mole on his buttocks."
Seeing this, Uncle Guo glared at Liang Jinghuan with dissatisfaction and said unkindly: "Haha, Mr. Liang, even so, Mr. Yan is just committing official misconduct. How does this have anything to do with the witchcraft case?"
Liang Jinghuan's gaze was like a ray of cold moonlight, shining on Uncle Guo's face, and he said coldly: "There's no rush."
He paused, turned to look at Chunlian, and asked: "Chunlian, tell me everything you know."
"Yes." Chunlian swallowed her saliva, knelt straight, and said, "The thing is like this. One night half a year ago, Mr. Yan and I... had a good time and said: When he gets promoted, he will accept the Nu family and join the government as a regular official.
Mrs. Fang.”
"The slave asked him, when will he be promoted? Has the emperor placed you in a high position?"
"Sir Yan said: He suppressed the prince's rebellion, and his witchcraft has made great achievements. Of course the emperor will reuse him."
"The Nu family asked him, Wu Jing, Jiang Qichong and others are all dead in the witchcraft incident. You are Wu Jing's subordinate. How can the emperor reuse you?"
"That day, Mr. Yan drank some wine and talked a lot under the influence of wine: He said that the three people were dead, but the remaining documents were sealed, and it was his turn."
"Master Yan also said that if he hadn't falsely reported the prince's rebellion at the city gate, how could things have gone so smoothly? How could he have been rewarded so easily? How could he have allowed the old emperor to ruthlessly get rid of...his own son?"
Speaking of this, Chunlian raised her eyes and glanced at the dark-faced Qinghuang, and was so frightened that her heart was broken.
Being identified on the spot, Yan Pang trembled like chaff and denied it with all his strength: "You are talking nonsense. I never said it. It was this bitch who talked nonsense. Your Majesty, Wei Chen is wronged. You have to believe Wei Chen."
Yan Pang secretly glanced at the aloof emperor, and immediately met the emperor's angry gaze. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground, kowtowed violently and apologized, "Your Majesty, this, this, this is not true... I have been wronged..."
Chun Lian pointed at Yan Pang and retorted: "You are a murderer with a thousand swords, you dare to say it, but you dare not admit it?" She was so angry that she turned to look at Mr. Liang and said: "Mr. Liang, this is what Mr. Yan told the slave family.
.”
When Uncle Guo heard this, his expression changed with shock. He did not expect that things would develop to this point.
I thought I was just exposing Yan Pang's misbehavior, but I didn't expect that the situation was turned around by a little prostitute. This Yan Pang really made a mistake after drinking.
Uncle Guo pointed at Chunlian and asked sternly: "You lied. How could he listen to you about such a life-threatening matter?"
Chunlian was so frightened that she kept waving her hands, "Sir, I don't dare to lie."
"Do you have evidence?" The emperor looked up at Chunlian with his sharp tiger eyes, and his words were calm and powerful.
"Evidence, evidence?" Chunlian lay on the ground, muttering to herself, forgetting Liang Jinghuan's instructions for a moment.
Seeing that she couldn't answer, Uncle Guo felt relieved and said sternly: "You are so bold and disobedient to the people. You dare to spread rumors and slander the imperial officials. I will pull her down and behead her."
Seeing Uncle Guo make a mistake, Ling Min hurriedly stepped forward and asked sternly: "Uncle Guo, the trial hasn't been completed yet. Why, you want to overstep my authority?"
The sentence "Legend of servants" made Uncle Guo's heart tense. Later he realized that he had made a mistake and said, "This... I didn't mean this. Don't talk nonsense."
Uncle Guo was choked and felt a little embarrassed. He looked at the emperor cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
After sitting on the throne, the emperor glared at him, looked at Chun Lian who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "Don't be afraid, you summon me truthfully."
"Yes." The emperor's words of comfort eased Chunlian's shrunken shoulders. She pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, the little girl remembers that day. Master Yan said that it was thanks to the emperor's personal attendant Li Mao." Chunlian glanced at it.
Yan Pang saw him closing his eyes tightly and sweating profusely.
"Master Yan said: This is all thanks to him. If he hadn't gone to the outside of Kyoto without stopping and saw corpses strewn on the streets in chaos, then Li Mao would have been as timid as a mouse and would have only dared to patrol along the outside of the city.
Dare to go into the city and find out."
"That's why Mr. Yan had the opportunity to let out the words about the prince's rebellion, so that Li Mao could believe that the prince had really rebelled in the city. In this way... if the emperor's servant said it, the emperor would also believe that the prince had really rebelled.
"
After saying this in one breath, the emperor almost lost his temper, "Good on you, Li Mao!" If it weren't for the truth, how could a prostitute like her know such top-secret information, let alone tell such a big lie.
Therefore, his prince did not rebel.
At this time, Liang Jinghuan turned around suddenly and shouted loudly outside the palace: "Pass on Li Mao."
Li Maozhan came to the front of the palace tremblingly. When he saw the people kneeling on the ground, he was immediately panicked. He hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, servant..."
When he saw the visitor, the emperor didn't wait for him to kneel down to say hello, and immediately cursed with red eyes:
"You are a bold and cunning slave. You dare to disobey my will and spread rumors that the prince is rebelling. I think you are tired of living. You have harmed my prince, and I will cut you into pieces."
The emperor's tiger body shook and he stood up from his throne. Extreme hatred burst out from his eyes, "I trust you so much in vain. You actually collaborated with Yan Pang to tell this big lie, causing the prince to jump off the cliff in hatred."
Long Yan was furious, and Li Mao was so frightened that he fell to the ground and cried with snot and tears. When the Dongchuang incident happened, he was frightened, frightened, and timid.
"Your Majesty, this servant doesn't know! This servant is unjust! All of this was instigated by Master Yan! Master Yan said that the prince had rebelled, and asked the servant to come back quickly to report it!"
Yan Pang knew that the matter had been exposed, and he had no shame to face the emperor again. He put his head on the ground and his whole body was shaking like chaff.
Li Mao's biting each other undoubtedly made Qinghuang furious, and he roared like a wounded lion:
"Shut up, I want you to go into the city to find out the situation. Have you gone in? Do you know that your cowardice has caused me to wrongly accuse the prince and let him die in peace? You only listened to the villain's slander and did this.
Do you still want me to spare you for your rebellion? I..."
Before Qing Huang finished his trembling words, he angrily picked up the ruler on the case and threw it at Li Mao without hesitation. With a "pang" sound, Li Mao's blood spattered on the spot and he fainted.
The emperor was angry, and everyone hurriedly comforted him, "Your Majesty, calm down."
"Continue the trial." Qinghuang slumped back on the royal chair weakly, his temples beating like crazy.
When things progressed to this point, all the ministers in the palace sighed. The prince was indeed wronged and he did not raise an army to rebel.
At this time, the uncle turned sideways, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Even so, it can only mean that the prince has not rebelled. However, today, you asked the ministers to listen, and there is no conclusive evidence for the witchcraft case.
I can prove that the prince is innocent and want to exonerate the prince. Master Ling and Master Liang, where are you singing?"
After saying that, Uncle Guo glanced at the upright Liang Jinghuan and then at Ling Min, with an angry look on his face.
Facing uncle Guo's dissatisfaction and ridicule, Ling Min didn't take it seriously. He turned around and bowed casually, upright, neither humble nor overbearing:
"Uncle Guo, do you think we can't reverse the case after the puppet maker was silenced? That's ridiculous."
As soon as these words came out, Uncle Guo's face suddenly changed in shock, and his heart suddenly revealed, what did he mean? Did they find evidence? This is impossible!
