But in the end, Qi Yunshan was a veteran, when it came to emotions, the change in his expression was extremely natural, so fast that no one could notice it. A look of contempt and contempt flashed across his wrinkled face, "Wen Yuye, you think that just because you're deliberately mystifying that your mouth is full of nonsense you can get away with it? Butchers and oil shards, it was all just your bullsh * tty fabrication! If we can't catch the culprit, we can just use a pig killer to fool the civil and military officials. Do you think that everyone is a fool that would believe your nonsense? "
"Why would the Imperial Tutor think that this official was making it up, and not the truth?" Wen Yuye looked at Qi Yunshan in confusion, his tone full of doubt: "Could it be that the Tutor insisted on believing that this official was spouting nonsense, because I knew something? "Or …" After saying that, Wen Yuye stopped and did not continue. Instead, he looked around at his surroundings meaningfully.
"Or what?" Qi Yunshan said coldly.
Wen Yuye laughed, "Maybe because Tutor Qi found the culprit, he is so sure that I am not the real culprit!" He bowed and bowed, "Since that's the case, Wen Yuye will be willing to accept your punishment, and will not complain! If you want to kill or cut me, just do it according to the rules! "
Qi Yunshan did not utter a word. He naturally could not catch the assailant in his hands, but with Wen Yuye's words, he threw the scorching sweet potato into Qi Yunshan's hands. Qi Yunshan's face turned cold, he turned back and glanced at Ke Bozhao, and there was no need to explain any further.
Ke Bozhao understood the situation, and nodded, "This matter is indeed a little strange. Master Wen said that this butcher was the culprit, but they still have the evidence on the side. The things you said before, even if you wanted to forge them, it wouldn't be difficult! Master Wen, do you understand my meaning? "If there is no ironclad proof, it would be very difficult to determine whether this piece of paper, or the inference given by the empty mouth and white teeth, is real!"
The meaning behind his words, if there was no other evidence, Wen Yuye would definitely die!
Nangong Zui opened his mouth, "There is more evidence, but it is a little tricky! Although this person was a butcher, there seemed to be a hidden secret behind his actions. Some people have even seen him outside the palace when the Emperor was assassinated two days ago! "
As soon as the words were spoken, it was like a stone that had caused a thousand ripples. It immediately provoked the criticism of the officials. The hall was abuzz with excitement. The butcher had killed the top scholar and two scholars, so why was it related to the assassination of the emperor? Originally, it could be classified as murdering to keep one's mouth shut. However, if it was related to the assassination of the emperor, it would not be that simple. It might even be ordered by someone and have been plotted for a long time …
No one dared to think any further. After all, if they truly wanted to investigate the matter of regicide, it would likely implicate a lot of the civil and military officials. At that time, more or less, all of the officials present would be implicated as well. Thinking this way, everyone in the hall was panic-stricken. After all, no one dared to shoulder the burden of the crime of murdering a monarch, which was a serious crime that would lead to the execution of nine clans. If they were implicated, the entire clan would be exterminated!
Wei Shuge scoffed, "Everyone is afraid of death!"
Zhao Jing naturally heard the noise coming from the other side of the chessboard. He looked at the chess piece in his hand, and didn't look at Wei Shuge, but frowned on his own, and looked at the black and white battle, "Who isn't afraid of death in this world? Wen Yuye won, he grabbed onto Qi Yunshan's weak spot, as well as the hundred officials' weak spot. If this butcher wasn't the culprit, then he would have to capture this monarch killer! However, the matter of the slaying of the monarch was a huge matter, who would dare to take it upon themselves? "Who can?"
"Killing kings, that is a matter of life and death. Where are the nine clans?!" Wei Shuge laughed, "I think this case can be closed now! Even if the culprit isn't a butcher, he should at least be a butcher.
Zhao Jing nodded his head, "So, this matter, can be settled by bidding!"
Lee Yiheng stepped forward, "Your Majesty, there's been a message from the Bright Moon House." As he spoke, he placed the box he was holding on the table and quietly left.
This was the way to contact and Bright Moon House. There were a few dishes in the box that Zhao Jing liked to eat, but the key was on the plate of the box. The plate was thicker than normal, but it was hollow inside. If you removed the bottom layer of the plate, you would get the information inside. For safety's sake, this plate could only be used once, which meant that no matter who took the information inside, it would be impossible to return the plate to its original state. If someone robbed the information halfway, Zhao Jing and Bright Moon House would immediately know.
Wei Shuge carried the dishes out, and opened the secret door under the plate. Then, he separated out the bottom level of the plate and placed the secret letter on the table.
Zhao Jing leisurely picked up the letter, a hint of coldness appearing on his face. With a sigh, Zhao Jing rubbed his forehead and remained silent. He extended his hand and handed the secret letter to Wei Shuge.
Wei Shuge was startled, and immediately extended his hand to take it, "What? Noble Heir is about to come out? " After thinking for a moment, Wei Shuge threw the letter into the brazier, and the blue flames engulfed the entire letter in an instant. "Actually, this is a good thing as well. If he is able to reveal his identity for Wen Yuye today, he will definitely be able to go through fire and water for the emperor in the future! "
Although her words weren't wrong, Zhao Jing's heart had a bad feeling. She slowly raised her head, looked at Wei Shuge thoughtfully, and maintained her silence. To emperors, this was a good thing. After all, behind Zhong Fu was the Phoenix City. She did not have any friends, and all of them were merely Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan who were by her side. She was truly alone, as Dongfang Weiming had said. To Zhao Jing, the word "friend" was a hopeless luxury!
She wanted to cherish it, but she didn't dare to.
"Stop Zhong Fu, don't let him enter the palace!" Zhao Jing said in a low voice.
Wei Shuge nodded, "This servant understands!" Finishing his words, he bowed and left.
Zhao Jing sighed, he stared at the chess pieces on the board and sat there motionlessly.
Zhao Yuannan waited at the side, looking at Zhao Jing who was deep in thought, his eyebrows slightly knitted. The glimmers of light from outside the window scattered at the corners of Zhao Jing's eyes. The golden light that had splashed onto the tip of her nose slowly fainted in Zhao Yuannan's line of sight, as if it had coated Zhao Jing with a layer of gold. Zhao Jing was like a god, shrouded in a faint light that made him look holy and inviolable. The Emperor's face was ashen, as though he had been carved from unpolished jade.
For a moment, Zhao Yuannan thought that if Zhao Jing was a girl, he would definitely look good. When he realized this, even Zhao Yuannan himself was shocked. He hurriedly avoided his eyes and did not dare to look directly at Zhao Jing's face. However, the moment he lowered his gaze, he still raised his head and couldn't help but look at Zhao Jing once more. It was unknown what Zhao Jing was thinking, but he remained as he was before, and did not move at all.
Inside the next Golden Hall, war of words still raged on. However, this case would be forcefully suppressed following the assassination of Zhao Jing, and even if it was, no one would bring it up again in the future.
Now, even Qi Yunshan did not say anything, who in the entire imperial court would dare to stand up again? Even the overbearing Minister of Justice Lee Mingrui had nothing to say, and only looked at Qi Yunshan and Ke Bozhao thoughtfully. The entire imperial court was waiting for their decision. After all, this was a matter of regicide, and not just anyone could interfere. Otherwise, it would be too late to exterminate the family!
Ke Bozhao laughed lightly, "It involves the killing of kings, I dare not say these words. It's just a mere butcher, the punishment for killing someone would be law, there's no need to talk about suspicion, if people get scared, they will die a thousand times!" He looked at Wen Yuye indifferently, "I hope that Master Wen and Master Nangong can investigate this matter clearly. If the evidence is sufficient, we can do what we need to do! Let alone the top scorer, even those two students are a human life, so they should pay with their lives. "
"Prime Minister is just and upright, this lowly official respects you. This official will definitely assist Master Nangong in this matter and will do my best to clarify the sequence of events. When Ministry of Justice is submitted to you, this case will be considered as having come to an end! " Wen Yuye bowed.
The meaning behind ending this paragraph was that it would no longer implicate 'innocent people' and 'unscrupulous things'. The term 'unbridled things' naturally referred to the assassination of an Emperor.
As long as Wen Yuye and Four-direction Sect nodded their heads, putting this matter on hold or ending it, there would be no worries for the future, and they would also not let anyone worry about them, who knew when they would become scapegoats.
Qi Yunshan brushed his sleeves and left. It was clear that he did not achieve the result he wanted and he was very disappointed. After all, there were many people in the imperial court. He could not hurt his people's hearts, for fear that he would force Wen Yuye into a corner. He was only a tutor and didn't want to put up his own reputation for such a clown.
Looking at Qi Yunshan's back, Ke Bozhao sighed, he turned and looked at Nangong Zui: "Good skill!"
"Imperial Tutor is generous." Nangong Zui stepped forward, and the two men stood facing each other with cold gazes.
Ke Bozhao said with a smile that was not a smile, "Is the Pear Blossom Wine delicious?"
"It tastes good, so I'm reluctant to drink it! If Prime Minister Rushing Sun is free, you can come to Nangong Mansion and take a seat, and have a taste of this good wine! " Nangong Zui burped and laughed drunkenly, causing his body to sway a little.
Ke Bozhao flicked his sleeves and left, "Drinking too much is harmful to your body, you better be careful not to hurt your brain."
"Thank you for the reminder!" Nangong Zui shouted towards his back.
Seeing this, the officials looked at each other and finally dispersed. The Jin Hall, which was bustling with noise and excitement, soon became quiet and quiet, with only Wen Yuye and Nangong Zui standing together.
"Is it fun?" Nangong Zui asked, "The proceedings of the current dynasty are different from what you imagined, right? There was no monarch, only all the civil and military officials of the imperial court talking about the same thing, each with their own ulterior motives. This is the imperial court of the Grand Xia.
Wen Yuye only frowned, he stood firmly in the center of the hall, looking around in silence. It was impossible to say that he wasn't disappointed. The emperor, who wholeheartedly wanted to be loyal to the emperor, wouldn't stay in the imperial court to oversee small matters like the Imperial Tutor and Prime Minister. But it was not the time for despair because the young man was not an ordinary person.
Thinking about Zhao Jing, Wen Yuye's face revealed a mocking smile, "This is not the imperial court of the Da Xia Empire, when the Sovereign King is not present, it is not considered the imperial court's business, it is just the Courtier's nonsense! Master Nangong, haven't you never fallen into despair before? Otherwise, with your personality, why would you keep your guard up against Four-direction Sect and not give up? "
Nangong Zui spread out his hands, "Same here!"
When the two of them walked out, Zhao Jing was standing in the corridor in front of the Warm Pavilion, with his hands behind his back, he looked at the two of them. If we don't die from it, we will be blessed! "
These words, Zhao Jing was talking to Wen Yuye.
There will always be blessings...
