The emperor was in a good mood today. He liked the painting that Chu Lan brought for him to taste. Chu Lan also said politely, "Father, if you like it, I will give it to you."
", the emperor accepted it happily.
When he heard that Chu Chen and the other three people had arrived, the emperor kept his eyes on the painting and happily touched and looked at it. Without thinking much, he ordered Eunuch Zhang to call the three people in.
After Chu Chen and the other three people came in, they greeted the emperor but didn't say anything for a while.
The Minister of Punishment and the Young Minister of Dali Temple were waiting for Chu Chen to speak first. Chu Chen's eyes fell on the painting on the desk, secretly thinking that King Jing was really good at catching His Majesty's thoughts and doing what he wanted. This fox
,Chu Yan, does he know that he can pretend to be so calculating?
The emperor waved his hand to excuse the three people. After waiting for a while and not hearing the three people speak, he took his eyes away from the scroll, coughed, and told Eunuch Zhang, "Put this painting away first."
/p>
Eunuch Zhang must have carefully put away the painting. Knowing that His Majesty probably intended to appreciate it slowly, he did not put it into His Majesty's private treasury. Instead, he directly opened the drawer under the desk and placed it where His Majesty could take it out and appreciate it at any time.
Location.
When the emperor met, he felt that Eunuch Zhang was very considerate and very satisfied. He was worthy of being someone who had served him for many years. He asked the three of them, "Has there been any progress in Su Han's interception and murder case?"
The three of them nodded in unison.
The emperor looked at the faces of the three people and frowned, "What? The matter is very difficult?"
The Minister of Justice and the Young Minister of Dali Temple looked at Chu Chen.
Chu Chen took out the jade-like confession from his sleeve and presented it to the emperor, "The interception and murder of Prince Su was carried out by the killer organization Ye Laixiang, and Ye Laixiang was ordered by Shilibao, and Shilibao was...
”
Chu Chen paused deliberately, "Your Majesty, you can see for yourself."
The emperor frowned and took the confession, "Jade killer organization? What is Shilibao?"
"It is the green forest force in the world."
The emperor snorted coldly. He didn't like the forces in the Jianghu, but he also knew that for the three people to find him like this, it was probably more than just the Jianghu forces. He lowered his head to read Hua Siyu's confession and looked at it.
, his face gradually turned livid and angry.
The confession signed by Hua Siyu was written clearly and clearly. It was written in great detail on how the Fang family and the Sixth Prince were instigated. It even revealed what they had done in the past ten years.
After the emperor read the confession, he photographed it on the jade table and said, "Here comes! Zhao Yan, the Imperial Guardsman."
"Yes!"
Not long after, Zhao Yan, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, entered the South Study Room.
The emperor's face was already very purple, "Zhao Yan, you led three thousand imperial guards, sealed the sixth prince's mansion for me, and escorted the sixth prince to the South Study Room. I was not allowed to let out a sparrow from the rest of the mansion.
”
Zhao Yan was shocked, "Yes!"
Compared with the second prince, the emperor escorted the sixth prince to him to give him a chance to appeal to the emperor.
Zhao Yan left the south study room and hurriedly walked out. He was stopped by King Jing who was waiting outside and wanted to explore what was going on inside. He asked, "Commander Zhao, what do you want from your father?"
Zhao Yan paused and glanced at King Jing. Should he offend King Jing and keep silent, or should he tell the truth? He weighed it and thought that the news would spread soon and he couldn't hide it, so he lowered his voice.
Tell the truth, "In return for His Highness, Your Majesty ordered his ministers to take custody of the Sixth Prince."
King Jing understood. It seemed that his sixth brother had committed a crime and it was revealed. He nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"Commander Zhao, go quickly."
Zhao Yan ordered three thousand imperial guards and hurriedly left the palace and went to the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
After the emperor gave an order to Zhao Yan, he also gave an order to Chu Chen, "Chu Chen, I will mobilize 20,000 troops and horses from the Xishan camp for you. You go and control the Fang family for me. Don't let anyone go."
Alone."
"Yes." Chu Chen accepted the order.
"After you take control of the Fang family, you are not allowed to take action yet and wait for my will."
"Yes!"
The emperor waved his hand, Chu Chen took the imperial edict and went immediately.
The emperor glanced at the Minister of Punishment and the Young Minister of Dali Temple, and asked with a blue face, "As for the Jianghu forces, the Shilibao and Tuberose mentioned above, who do you two think should be sent to exterminate them?"
The two looked at each other, and the Minister of Justice said, "Any force that can dominate the world cannot be underestimated..." Seeing that the emperor's face was even more ugly, he paused and immediately changed his words, "No matter how powerful the forces in the world are,
, it is not as good as the imperial troops and horses, so His Majesty just issued an imperial edict and asked the local government to send troops to suppress the bandits."
The emperor said angrily, "I'm afraid that the local officials are not clean and have colluded with Jianghu forces. With my sixth prince as their backer in the capital, they have spun a big web."
The Minister of Punishment shut up.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple hesitated and said, "Since ancient times, the imperial court has balanced the forces of Jianghu and prevented them from getting bigger. It is not difficult for the imperial court to use troops to destroy the forces of Jianghu. However, sometimes, strategies are also needed.
I'm afraid that if I don't do it well, I will suffer heavy losses. This matter cannot be done by His Majesty's imperial edict alone and let the local government do it. I think it is better to send a suitable person to receive His Majesty's edict and call on the local government to cooperate with it.
”
"Yes." The emperor listened to this, walked around twice, and said, "Zhang De, please send someone to tell Gu Qingyan to enter the palace immediately."
"Yes." Eunuch Zhang immediately ordered.
After Chu Chen left, Gu Qingyan told Qing Mo, "Send someone to send a message to the Minister of Punishment, telling people to keep an eye on the prison of the Punishment Department. If the Sixth Prince gets the letter, there is no way he will not take action on the woman he just sent.
The evidence has been sent to His Majesty, but it would be a good show if the Sixth Prince’s men attack criminals in the prison of the Criminal Department and are caught on the spot.”
Qingmo should be.
As expected, as Gu Qingyan expected, the Sixth Prince was in the palace at this time. He had just received news that Chu Chen had captured a criminal and sent him to the Ministry of Punishment, where he was imprisoned in the Prison. The criminal was a woman, and she seemed to be a beggar. p>
The sixth prince was very scared and frightened. He immediately ordered people, "Find a way to kill that woman."
He didn't need exact information. No matter whether the information was accurate or not, he didn't care whether Chu Chen really captured Hua Xiyu from Shilibao. He was just afraid that if it was true, Hua Xiyu would reveal the truth behind him and the Fang family.
The things he had done were enough for him to finish. So, he had to kill Hua Siyu before the interrogation by the Ministry of Punishment and shut her up forever.
But as soon as his men were sent out and before the results were returned, Zhao Yan arrived with the Royal Forest Army.
The sixth prince suddenly sat down on the ground and said to the staff beside him with a pale face, "It's over, it's over..."
Although his father was very suspicious, he never took action easily. If he hadn't seen the evidence now, he wouldn't have sent the Royal Guards to arrest him.
The staff were also frightened and confused. The incident happened too fast. They thought everything was planned, but they didn't expect that none of the planned things were accomplished. Su Han was not killed, and he was not able to receive the news from the south.
There was news that An Huajin had been killed, not to mention the military rebellion in Nanyang. Instead, we were waiting for the news that Hua Siyu was in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and that the Yulin Army sealed the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
What to do... what to do...
The people in the Sixth Prince's Mansion were suddenly panicked, but no one knew what to do.
In particular, Zhao Yan arrived quickly and quickly led people into the Sixth Prince's study. When he saw the Sixth Prince sitting on the ground, he was very respectful and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty, please!"
The sixth prince's face was completely pale, and his legs were too weak to stand up. He looked at Zhao Yan with trembling hands, "Father, you want to see me? It's so dark today, why?"
Zhao Yan looked at the Sixth Prince and felt very confused. It turned out that ambition and courage had nothing to do with each other. He shook his head and said, "I don't know how humble my position is. Your Majesty has given an order, please go to the South Study Room immediately."
The sixth prince was really afraid that he would never come back. He had a good father and many sons. If one or two died, it would just be a burst of anger and pain. For example, the second prince, everyone knew that he was sent to death by his father.
Yes, but he said he died suddenly. His father loved the second prince so much, not to mention that he, who was not favored, might follow in the footsteps of the second prince.
He shivered for a long time without standing up. In the end, Zhao Yan couldn't bear to look at him. With a wink behind him, two Imperial Forest Army soldiers stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right. They lifted up the Sixth Prince and pressed him out of the Sixth Prince's Mansion. p>
Everyone in the Sixth Prince's Mansion suddenly burst into tears after experiencing this sudden change.
The sixth prince was quickly escorted into the palace by Zhao Yan and came to the south study room. Before he could kneel down, the emperor smashed the inkstone on the table onto his head, "Evil son! I'm not dead yet.
Do you just want to rebel?"
The Sixth Prince was not as lucky as Chu Yan. He was able to get Eunuch Zhang to knock him away, and immediately a bloody hole was hit in his forehead. His body swayed and fell to the ground.
