After being forced to marry a tyrant: I overturned the original plot
Chapter 15: Going to court, the fish took the bait
The knife did not hit the "prisoner" who seemed to have been tortured and was dying, but hit the shackles on his hands and cut them off at once.
The "prisoner" did not give the men in black time to react. He swung his arm and the chain hit the head of the man in front.
The man in black fell to the ground, wailing.
"We've fallen into a trap! Retreat!"
The man in black who came to silence the witness came to his senses at this time and hurriedly tried to retreat from the cell.
But it was too late.
"Keep alive!"
Ge Weili arrived late at night with a group of officers and soldiers and gave orders with his hands behind his back.
The men in black were surrounded and wanted to commit suicide. The man in prison clothes, Shen Ji, immediately stepped forward and cut off the jaw of the leader.
He broke the man's hands and feet, lifted his collar, and looked at Ge Weili.
"Shen Ji has completed the task assigned by the Queen. Now it's up to Lord Ge."
Even though he was wearing a bloodstained prison uniform, Shen Ji's heroic demeanor remained undiminished. He swiftly broke free of the chains on his hands and walked out of the Ministry of Justice prison carrying his gun.
The young general from Yu Kingdom who was escorting the bride personally cooperated in catching the assassin's accomplices. In this way, his suspicion was cleared, but we still have to wait for solid evidence.
Under pressure from Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice has naturally paid close attention to this important matter and dared not be negligent.
Your Majesty has set up a net and is waiting for these people to lose their composure and reveal their tracks.
The assassin that Shen Ji and General Chen had caught earlier committed suicide, and the clues were gone. That's why Gu Fei used this trick.
Royal Palace, Garden and Lakeside.
General Chen brought Lord Ge to the lake, where they saw a large umbrella. The emperor and empress were sitting side by side on small wooden chairs, fishing leisurely.
Gu Fei glanced at the movement on the lake, then looked at Qin Xin's itchy state as she couldn't sit still, and smiled.
"It's bitten."
Qin Xin raised her hand and quickly reeled in the fishing rod. Sure enough, as she reeled in the rod, a carp broke through the water and flew into the air, flapping its wings.
"Yeah, it's a big fish."
Gu Fei folded his hands and sat up straight with satisfaction.
Obviously, the emperor and the empress did not look back, but Ge Weili had an inexplicable feeling that these two people lived in the deep palace, but they knew everything outside. What was this metaphor for...
"Your Majesty, Lord Ge has arrived."
"I greet your majesty and the queen."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xin handed the fish she caught to the palace servant and put it in a wooden barrel.
She nodded slightly to Ge Weili, then bowed to Gu Fei and left with the palace maids.
"Please, Queen, wash your hands and make fish soup for me."
Qin Xin raised her eyebrows and almost tripped over her right foot. When did she say she would cook fish for him!
She silently clenched her fists in her sleeves. This guy, relying on his position outside, used his power to suppress her.
Damn it, he must be tired of playing the tyrant, right? Can she play the role for him for a few days to see how it feels?
After Qin Xin walked away, Ge Weili withdrew his surprised gaze and straightened his expression.
"Have you found out who is behind this?"
Gu Fei shook his wide sleeves, held the fishing rod, cast the fishing line, and started fishing.
It seemed like he was talking about something less important than fishing.
Ge Weili then reported the progress in detail.
"King Yong's old party?"
After hearing the key information, Gu Fei called up the memory of King Chen in his mind and sneered sarcastically.
"It's been many years since King Yong died, but his followers haven't been eliminated yet?"
After holding the fishing rod, Gu Fei turned around and looked at Ge Weili quietly.
"If someone is trying to fish in troubled waters under the banner of the remnants of evil, can you tell the difference, my dear?"
Ge Weili was silent for a while. How could he respond to this?
"I will go and investigate thoroughly again!"
"Well, let's go."
Ge Weili was shocked: Did I see it wrong? His Majesty smiled at me!
"Master Ge, I have high hopes for you. Please don't let me down."
Seeing the strange look on the face of Mr. Ge, who was known for his stubborn temper, Gu Fei put away the smile on his lips and spoke earnestly.
Ge Weili was now certain that His Majesty had really smiled at him and entrusted him with an important task!
He was in charge of the Ministry of Justice, but he always had conflicts with the Dali Temple. He also had a stubborn temper, and His Majesty always disliked and scolded him...
For some reason, Gu Fei felt that the way this stubborn man looked at him was a little sticky.
As soon as Lord Ge left, Gu Fei couldn't help rubbing his arms. What others saw was "Your Majesty's Transformation", but only he and Qin Xin knew that this was clearly "The Birth of the Best Actor".
When Gu Fei and Qin Xin's injuries had almost healed, the Ministry of Justice finally came to a conclusion.
——The assassin was indeed related to Prince Yong, but he was not a hidden remnant, but Marquis Pingyang who committed disloyal acts under the guise of Prince Yong.
Ge Weili, who was highly valued by Gu Fei (Gu Fei:?), was tortured and finally found out a key person. Following the clues, he discovered that this person was a retainer of Pingyang Hou...
Ge Weili was a stubborn person. If he wanted to investigate someone, he would just get to the bottom of it. He investigated Pingyang Hou in detail and finally identified him as the mastermind.
It turned out that the Marquis of Pingyang had a concubine sister, with whom he had a very good relationship. Prince Yong took a fancy to her and took her as a concubine. Later, Prince Yong was convicted of treason and executed, and this concubine was also among them.
Marquis Pingyang hated the emperor's ruthless and iron-blooded tactics and was determined to avenge his sister, so he bribed the deputy general of the guards, learned the route in advance, set an ambush, and assassinated His Majesty.
After this crime was disclosed, the court and the public were shocked and sighed. They were shocked that Pingyang Hou, who had always been low-key and kind, dared to assassinate His Majesty. They also sighed that King Yong could still be involved in his case even though he had been dead for almost five years.
But then they thought, they were amazed -
Your Majesty actually caught the mastermind without any fuss?
Lord Ge from the Ministry of Justice suddenly went from being a person disliked by His Majesty to a popular figure.
It seems that the officialdom is so vast and ups and downs that it is hard to say who is on the east and who is on the west.
"Marquis Pingyang attempted to assassinate the emperor. According to his crime, his entire clan should be executed—"
Gu Fei, who was about to chop off a bunch of heads on his first court appearance, looked so heavy that he didn't even need to act. He paused as he spoke, and looked at the crowd of ministers below.
"But I've just got married, and my old illness has improved recently. The queen has made a great contribution. She is kind-hearted and can't bear to see the blood flow. She sentenced Pingyang Hou and other people involved in the case to be executed in a month, and their families who were unaware of the incident were exiled to Nanjiang. Those who were not involved will have their sentences reduced as appropriate."
Ok?
Instead of exterminating the entire clan, they were all killed?
Is this still the Majesty who was so angry as to draw his sword and chop people?
The officials all had different expressions, and it took them a while to come back to their senses, and they shouted -
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
It seems that the rumors in the palace are true. After His Majesty married the seventh princess of the Jade Kingdom, the queen candidate predicted by the national master, his mania improved, his temperament became gentler, and...
Be merciful.
It seems that he likes the queen very much, otherwise he would not have "favored her alone in the palace", punished the empress dowager's favorite concubine, and showed leniency to the people in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion for the queen.
"Your Majesty is wise, the Queen is kind, and the Emperor and Empress are in harmony. This is truly a blessing for the Kingdom of Chen!"
——There is no shortage of flatterers in every dynasty.
After hearing this, Gu Fei gave the man a kind smile.
"Your Majesty is wise, the Queen is kind, long live Your Majesty!"
——When the wind direction is right, those who have the foresight will follow immediately.
Zhu Yushi and his ilk looked extremely unhappy, but they could only hold their jade tablets in their hands and follow with their heads down.
Your Majesty, this is not just a matter of doting on the Queen. He has also taken great pains to build momentum and authority for the Queen... Hopefully, there won't be a hens crow at dawn, otherwise, they will surely die in protest.
After the court session, Gu Fei suppressed the upward curve of his lips and returned to Longyuan Palace in a breeze.
After dismissing everyone around him, he came to the couch and sat side by side with Qin Xin.
With a pleased look on his face, he said, "I feel the joy of attending court."
Qin Xin was drawing a picture. Upon hearing this, she slowly raised her head and glanced at him: "..."
Is this man addicted to being a king? He gets up before dawn and spends a lot of time just to attend a meeting...
As for him being so happy?
Oh, of course, no matter which world this guy is in, he always tortures others to please himself :)
Thinking of this, Qin Xin couldn't help but ask what was in his mind -
"King, do you really not need me to act for you for a few days?"
"No, for the sake of our survival here, I have to endure a little hardship and grievance, it's okay."
Gu Fei declined without thinking.
——If she were to act, her first order would be to throw him into prison:)
Officials of higher rank had all been beaten by her fists, and those who were one rank younger than her would have been beaten to death by her.
