fake prince

Chapter 143
Because of the death of the crown prince, the emperor did not appoint a crown prince for a long time, which led to the two kings vying for the heir, and various factions fighting, causing the court to be in chaos. Every court meeting can be regarded as a battle. I'm sorry.

The king of Qi was favored and trusted, and he was very arrogant. Even the king of Shu had to be careful, so as not to be disgusted by the emperor.

Even if King Qi colluded with monsters and caused floods repeatedly, the floods were not serious. For example, this time, if there is a real disaster, it should be in spring and summer when the water rises, but now it is in autumn and winter. Even if it is harmful, it will not hurt. Da Zheng's vitality does not move the foundation.

This not only prevents Da Zheng from going all out to attack, but even if some evidence is obtained, it is not enough to convict him.

On the contrary, the king of Shu might be accused of framing his brother. In the eyes of the emperor, this crime is probably more serious than colluding with the monster clan.

How dare Luo Pei act rashly?
When Liu Chen heard this, he was about to sneer, and was pulled by Zheng Yingci.

Liu Chen suppressed the evil fire, closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, and looked at the imperial envoy Luo Pei.

"Then, according to Lord Luo's words, how to control the water? The water tribe helps King Qi, and the flood can't be controlled according to the previous method of water control. No matter how hard we try, it only takes one trouble, and it will all be in vain."

For ordinary floods, human methods are naturally effective, but it is not so easy to deal with monster races.

"That's why it's coming for me." Luo Pei looked tired and coughed, "This is a trap for me."

Luo Pei is a famous minister of water control. His own ability, together with his connections, are very important to the King of Shu, and he can be regarded as his right-hand man.

Now that the flood is serious, it is natural to use yourself. As long as you make mistakes in controlling the water, you will be dismissed from office and your power will be hit. There are not many people who support the king of Shu, but without yourself, the situation will go from bad to worse.

It's just that although King Qi actually has talents, he has a violent personality, the most important bottom line is low, and he is in collusion with the monster clan, so he cannot be the master of the world!

Even if the situation is critical, you must go to the top.

"The current plan is to ask the real person to suppress the water demon, and I will control the river. The two-pronged approach may solve this crisis."

"Of course, I also know that the water monster is secretive, and it is difficult for real people to catch them one by one when they come and go in and out of the rivers and lakes."

"But there is an opportunity in front of me. I have also heard that the Panlong Lake Dragon Palace seems to have restarted. The Dragon Palace was conferred by the previous dynasty and is in the rank of a prince. It is not comparable to ordinary wild gods."

"Can the real person communicate with the Dragon Palace through the gods, so that the Dragon Palace can control the water monsters, so that they will not be presumptuous, so that I can control the water smoothly--I am unambiguous in all personnel matters."

"The real person can also make a promise to Dragon Palace. If it can be fulfilled, this official will definitely be able to fight for the restoration of the imperial title and spread the incense."

"I headed straight to Shuanghua Mansion just for Panlong Lake."

"This is the key to breaking the game, I hope the real person will help me!"

The canonization of ghosts and gods is usually imperial conferment, and imperial conferring is a thick code. Luo Pei’s energy is insufficient to fight for a new god to obtain conferring. However, since the previous dynasties are the same emperors, they generally recognize the canonization of the previous dynasty. , the difficulty is not great.

"The news from the imperial court is really well-informed, and even knows a lot about the Dragon Palace!" Luo Pei's words surprised Liu Chen and hesitated. When he came this time, he was actually from the Dragon Palace. The thoughts of the imperial envoy are different from his own. Run in the opposite direction.

Those who are not of my race must have a different heart, and the monsters should be eliminated.

Dragon Qi is fine, isn't a real dragon a monster?How can I appease and give it to Wang Jue?

But if you give up, many things may be disrupted. Thinking this way, Liu Chen said carefully: "You and I are temporarily staying in the magistrate's yamen. Although Huang Zhifu's attitude is respectful, he is a member of King Qi. I'm afraid I won't cooperate with any move."

Hearing this, Luo Pei couldn't help frowning.

This is indeed the case, if any ceremony is to be held at Panlong Lake, the magistrate of Shuanghua County cannot be bypassed, and this magistrate is a member of King Qi, so he will definitely not cooperate.

It was only when the words fell and he was thinking, suddenly there was a muffled drum, and there was a commotion outside the courtyard, Luo Pei frowned, at this moment, an eighth-rank official rushed in, shouting: "My lord, there are people who beat the drum and cry for injustice! "

The two who were watching the rain and talking under the eaves were startled.

Luo Pei was a little speechless: "What do you tell me about this? No way! Although I am an imperial envoy, my job is to control rivers, not to inspect. For such things, you should go to the local parents!"

After hearing this, the attendant was about to speak, but Liu Chen thought about it, and suddenly interrupted: "Wait a minute!"

Then he said to Luo Pei, "Your Excellency, you might as well see him."

Luo Pei frowned slightly, although he was unwilling in his heart, but it was not good to refute face at this time, and said: "Then hand over the pleading paper."

Since someone is beating drums and calling for grievances, there must be a pleadings handed over.

He doesn't want to refute Zhenren Liu's face, he always wants to see who is suing, if it is not a trivial matter, there is still time to dismiss it.

The officer who reported the report immediately handed over the pleadings.

Luo Pei unfolded it, only looked at two lines, and was stunned: "Are you suing the local magistrate?"

"Oh?"

Even Liu Chen was stunned at this moment. Although he felt that he should take a look at it just now on a whim, he didn't expect that he would happen to be suing the local prefect.

Luo Pei and Liu Chen looked at each other, what a coincidence?
"I wonder if I can let the students watch it?" Zheng Yingci raised his eyes and said.

"Just take a look." Luo Pei waved his hand, Zheng Yingci took the pleading paper in his hand, unfolded it, and immediately understood why Luo Pei was stunned.

The person who informed the government was a maritime merchant, and told the government that in order to seize Fengshui many years ago, a family of three, including a pregnant woman, were burned alive.

This case was stated clearly without any ambiguity. If the truth is true, the magistrate will not only be imprisoned, he may even lose his life.

Just in time to worry that the magistrate would not cooperate, how can it not be too coincidental for someone to present such a "generous gift"?

But such a thing is obviously beneficial to him, and it would be a pity if he let it go.

Returning the pleading paper to the imperial envoy, Zheng Yingci took a few steps back and remained silent.

If you can see it yourself, you already have the honor of the family and teachers, but you have no room to speak for yourself.

Luo Pei also didn't think about asking Zheng Yingci, he hesitated in his heart, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since the pleadings are sent to the official's hands, how can we ignore it? No matter whether it is a false accusation or not, and it involves officials ordered by the court, you must ask carefully. This is not only responsible to the common people, but also responsible to the court, and responsible to the emperor."

These words are official words and the truth, which means that the case has been accepted.

Liu Chen raised his eyelids and glanced at the imperial envoy, nodded: "My lord, whether this matter is true or not, it is a good thing, and the flood cannot delay it."

Exactly that!

Luo Pei nodded silently, no matter what worries he had in his heart, he would never let go of this matter, even if it was false, during the investigation period, the magistrate would have to suspend his duties pending investigation, in this case, he would not be able to restrain himself.

He was decisive, and immediately ordered: "Let me change my official uniform!"

At the same time, he ordered to bring the accuser to the court.

Looking at Luo Pei who ran away after changing his official uniform, Zheng Yingci said to Liu Chen: "Master, this matter is weird. I think it's better not to get involved too much, so as not to get involved in the battle for the heir apparent."

Liu Chen had been acting reckless in front of the imperial envoy just now, but now he smiled and said, "I'm relieved if you think so."
