In Zhongshu Province, Cui Ming hurriedly walked out.
He walked straight out of the palace and headed towards Nanyuan.
On the north and south sides of the palace, there are Nanyuan and Beiyuan. Most officials live in Beiyuan, while dignitaries, relatives of the emperor, princes, princes and viscounts all live in Nanyuan.
The Prince Consort's Mansion and Princess' Mansion are also in Nanyuan.
Cui Ming did not go home or go to the princess mansion, but came to another high gate.
This is an extremely luxurious mansion. The two stone lions lying at the door are huge and lifelike. When Cui Ming approached, the two stone lions turned their heads at the same time, and their eyes shone with light.
Cui Ming snorted coldly, and the two stone lions trembled and turned their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
At this time, the door of the mansion opened, and a man who looked like a servant walked out of the door. Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, "Who is acting so presumptuously in front of Prince Shou's mansion?"
Cui Ming glanced coldly. When the man saw him, his expression changed instantly, "Prince-in-law, what can I do for you?"
There are few people in the city of God who don’t know Princess Yunyang’s consort. He is not only highly cultivated, but also holds a high position. He is ranked as the Minister of Zhongshu and is one of the pillars of the old party. Although he is the steward of Prince Shou’s Mansion, he does not dare to
Neglect.
Cui Ming asked: "Is the prince in the mansion?"
The servant said: "Your Majesty is here. Please, Prince Consort, I will take you to see your Majesty."
With Cui Ming's identity, it was naturally impossible for him to wait here. He had already sent word to the servants in the mansion, and he took Cui Ming directly into the mansion.
In the back garden of Prince Shou's Mansion, a fat man with a rich figure and luxurious clothes was sitting on a chair, shaking his head.
He is not light in weight, and his position in the court is also very important.
This person is King Shou, a member of the Zhou royal family, the late emperor's half-brother, and the Minister of Zongzheng Temple.
In the garden, a stage was set up, and the actors from the palace were singing "Deceiving the king, despising the emperor, marrying a man who regrets his marriage, marrying his wife, killing his wife and children, forcing Han Qi to death in the temple..." It was the God who was closer.
The most popular drama nowadays, "Chen Shimei".
King Shou was listening to the actors singing, and the maid who was serving tea at the side couldn't help but be entranced. She accidentally poured the tea out and spread it on the table.
A butler saw this and said angrily: "Why did you pour the tea?"
The maid came back to her senses and lowered her head. When she saw the tea stains on the table, her face turned pale and she immediately knelt on the ground and said in panic: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry..."
King Shou waved his hand and said: "You have to stand aside and listen, you are disturbing me..."
The maid breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the tea stains on the table with her sleeves, and quickly stepped aside.
When another housekeeper came in with Cui Ming, King Shou touched his swollen belly and said, "Why is Mr. Cui free to come to my house today? Come, please bring a chair for Mr. Cui and let's watch the show together."
…”
"I have something important to discuss with the prince." Cui Ming walked to the stage, glanced at the actors, and said, "You guys go down."
All the actors paused for a moment and looked at King Shou.
"Oh, I am just getting excited when I hear that Chen Shimei, the ungrateful man who abandoned his wife and children, is about to be hacked to death..." There was a look of unfinished expression on King Shou's face, but he waved his hand helplessly and said: "
You go down."
The actors in the garden left in a hurry. Cui Ming looked at the guards behind King Shou and said, "You guys can go down too."
The guards looked hesitant, but King Shou waved his hand again and said, "Go down, Mr. Cui is one of our own."
The guard leader said: "I am worried about other changes."
King Shou said: "If anything happens, Mr. Cui can protect me with his cultivation. Go on, go on."
Several guards then left.
After a few people left, Cui Ming formed a seal with his hands, threw out a few pieces of spiritual jade, and first set up a sound-isolating formation around them.
King Shou asked in surprise: "What is it that deserves Master Cui to be so cautious?"
After setting up the soundproof array, Cui Mingcai looked at King Shou and said, "I am in some trouble and need His Highness King Shou's help."
King Shou looked around and said: "Master Cui is so cautious, I'm afraid what you encountered is not a small trouble, right?"
Cui Mingdao: "Whether the trouble is big or small depends on the attitude of Zongzheng Temple. Zongzheng Temple has a new chief minister. Does your Highness know?"
King Shou was surprised and said: "Is there such a thing?"
Cui Ming knew that as King Shou, it was impossible to go to Zongzheng Temple often. He explained: "The imperial court restructured Zongzheng Temple. Since then, Zongzheng Temple has two young ministers and two temple ministers. The new temple minister,
It brought some trouble to me..."
King Shou asked: "What kind of trouble can a little Zongzhengsi Cheng bring to Lord Cui?"
Cui Mingdao: "Twenty years ago, when I was the magistrate of Yangqiu County, I once dealt with a family that colluded with evil cultivators. As a result, the Zongzhengsi Cheng came back and accused me of killing his wife, a Yi tribe...
"
"Wait a minute..." King Shou asked in confusion: "You dealt with a family that colluded with evil cultivators. Why did you kill your wife, the Yi tribe?"
Cui Ming's expression paused, and then he said: "There was a woman in that family who was once my fiancée, but they colluded with evil cultivators, which was not allowed by the country's law. I killed my relatives in a righteous way and reluctantly beheaded her, but I didn't expect that someone would do this.
Framed..."
"This story sounds a bit familiar..." King Shou scratched his head, as if he remembered something, and suddenly said: "I remember, when the Jiujiang County Governor colluded with the Demon Sect, it was Master Cui who killed his relatives for justice...
, It’s strange, how come Mr. Cui’s father-in-law’s family always does this kind of thing? If he didn’t know that Mr. Cui is impartial and selfless, even if he raises the knife, he will not be soft-hearted towards his wife. I almost thought that the story of "Chen Shimei" was based on you.
It’s a prototype…”
Cui Ming said with an unnatural expression: "How is this possible..."
Prince Shou smiled and said, "I'm just talking, but Chen Shimei's play is quite good. Mr. Cui can watch it again with me later."
"No need, I still have important matters in my office." Cui Ming looked at King Shou and said, "This matter, regarding my reputation, I leave to His Highness King Shou."
King Shou nodded and said: "It should be true. Mr. Cui is one of our own. I can't see anything happen to you. I will go to Zongzheng Temple right now..."
Cui Ming cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Half an hour later, at the entrance of Zongzheng Temple.
A new Zhang Gu at the door looked at a fat man walking towards us from a distance and asked: "Who is this fat man? How dare you walk around the palace casually?"
"You're blind, that's Sir Si Qing!" Another Zhang Gu kicked him on the butt, ran over and said flatteringly: "Sir Si Qing, why are you free to come here today?"
King Shou glanced at him and asked: "I heard that a new temple minister has arrived in the temple. What is his name and where is he now?"
That Zhang Gu said: "He's in the government office."
King Shou entered Zongzheng Temple and was led by Zhang Gu into a government office. He looked at the person sitting in the government office and asked, "Are you Zhang Chun?"
Zhang Chun raised his head and asked, "Who are you?"
That Zhang Gu hurriedly explained: "Master Zhang, this is the Master of the Temple and His Royal Highness the Shou King. Why don't you come and greet me quickly?"
Zhang Chun then stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I have met the Lord Temple Minister."
King Shou asked straight to the point: "You want to sue Minister Cui. What are you suing for? Do you have any evidence?"
Zhang Chun said in a deep voice: "More than twenty years have passed since this incident. It is difficult to obtain evidence, but there is justice between heaven and earth. What Cui Ming did can be deceived by the people of the world, but it is difficult to deceive heaven!"
King Shou frowned and said: "Cui Shilang really committed the crime of killing his wife Yi tribe?"
"More than once." Zhang Chun said: "He was originally from Yangqiu County, Beijun County. Not long after he made a marriage contract with a woman from Yangqiu County, he fell in love with a local wealthy family. After killing the woman, he also got married to a local wealthy family.
The woman got married. Before the marriage, the daughter of the Jiujiang County Governor traveled to Beijun. He met the Jiujiang County Governor's daughter again. For his own future, he killed the rich woman and framed her. He ruined the woman's entire family and married her.
He married the daughter of Jiujiang County Sheriff. A few years later, Jiujiang County Sheriff colluded with the Demon Sect. Cui Ming exposed it again. Jiujiang County Sheriff was beheaded by everyone. I now suspect that Jiujiang County Sheriff was also framed by him. Cui Ming.
, what he is best at is killing his wife and framing him, so that he can rise to prominence..."
"It's not as good as a beast, it's simply not as good as a beast!" King Shou's face turned red and he couldn't help but jump to his feet and cursed: "Isn't this kind of beast inferior to even Chen Shimei? He should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts and die a thousand times or ten thousand times...
"
After he finished cursing, he was breathing heavily when he realized that the Zhang Gu and Zhang Chun were looking at him in astonishment.
King Shou was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized his identity and position. He coughed lightly and said, "This is just your guess. Your majestic consort, a fourth-grade official, how can you allow you to make false accusations at will with just a few guesses?"
Zhang Chuntao: "It's very simple to frame him. As long as the seventh level expert interrogates his soul, everything will be revealed."
King Shou glanced at him and asked: "Do you think the strong ones in the seventh realm are cabbage? There are only a few seventh realms in the capital of God. Do you want to disturb a few deans, or do you want to trouble your majesty for no reason?
, where is the majesty of the imperial court, where is the majesty of the royal family when the consort of the dynasty and the fourth-ranking official of the imperial court are captured?"
Zhang Cundao: "Is Lord Siqing protecting Cui Ming?"
King Shou said angrily: "You still dare to doubt my impartiality. You are talking without any basis. If you want to sue Minister Cui, just bring out the evidence and falsely accuse the imperial official. It is a serious crime!"
Zhang Chun asked: "What if I have evidence?"
King Shou turned his eyes, then snorted coldly and said: "I will tell you the truth, no matter what crime Mr. Cui commits, this sect temple will protect him, so just give up on this."
Zhang Chun gritted his teeth and said: "Guardians protect each other, it's dark, your Zongzheng Temple is so fucking dark!"
King Shou looked at him with disdain and said: "This Zongzheng Temple, whether your surname is Xiao or Zhang, on this day, you have to listen to me, unless you have the courage to go to the court and complain to His Majesty, and let the whole god
