Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Now Su Yan can be regarded as experiencing the feeling of everyone looking sideways and criticizing everyone.

Wang Shangshu's words were like a hand opening the deliberately concealed arrow box, exposing the sharp blade that had been tempered with poison.Even better, the hand is perfectly upright, innocent, and strong.

Facing the questioning, contemptuous and even gloating gazes cast by the courtiers, Su Yan turned his face to look at another suffering brother, and found that His Royal Highness, Prince Yu, who was also in deep trouble, was still there, and even teased him. raised eyebrows.

Well, this absurd and dissolute prince has at least one advantage, he is calm and has a strong psychological quality.Su Yan thought to himself, maybe relying on his status as the younger brother of the Son of Heaven, King Yu would be able to escape unscathed as long as he did not commit heinous felonies, but he became the scapegoat who was thrown into the shit basin... Are you kidding me?

Su Yan showed an elegant and noble smile, with a tall body, he had imitated the pretense of famous scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and said calmly with his hands behind his back: "My lord, there are too many loopholes in this so-called evidence. It’s really not conclusive. The official wants to defend himself, so I don’t know if he will give me a chance to clarify the truth?”

Wang Tirui said: "Prisoners in court still have the right to defend themselves, Su Xima is only suspected, so naturally."

His words helped Su Yan temporarily stop other people who wanted to add insult to injury.

"Your Majesty would like to invite Mr. Lianzhou to inquire."

Emperor Jinglong nodded, and sent someone to summon Shangpu.

Shang Pu is over fifty years old, and he calls himself a Lianzhou painting idiot. He was conscripted into the palace from the folks at the beginning of the year, and his paintings are outstanding even in a talented painting academy.

As soon as Su Yan saw this person, he knew that the word "painting idiot" was well deserved. This man probably only had painting in his heart, and he had no concept of human relationships and sophistication. He was a type of person like Chen Jingrun.Because when he came, he didn't even care about the etiquette in front of the imperial court. He threw himself on the steps to blow off the dust on the painting paper, and cried out regretfully: "My mother, whoever made the painting a mess in the West Laihai, it's all right." Cheng Sa? Look, look, there's a footprint thief!"

I don't know which official in the crowd couldn't hold back, he chuckled, then quickly lowered his head and pursed his lips.

Su Yan coughed lightly, walked up to Shang Pu, cupped his hands and asked, "I'm washing Ma Suyan at the Xiasi Economic Bureau. This "Shooting the Willow Victory Picture", may I ask where Mr. Lianzhou was when he painted it?"

Shang Pu stood up with the painting in his hands, and then remembered that the face saint wanted to salute, so he quickly knelt down again, and heard the emperor say: "Excuse me, you can just answer."

So he answered Su Yan: "That attic thief." He turned around and pointed in the general direction.

Su Yan took a look and nodded: "It is true that you can see the Sheliu Field and the east auxiliary building of Longde Hall. May I ask if this location was chosen by the master himself?"

Shang Pudao: "Eh, I originally chose the covered bridge, and I can see a lot, but a guard told me to go to the attic to steal paintings, saying that the tables, chairs and benches are all set up."

"Which guard, sir, do you still remember? Can you identify it?"

Shang Pu thought and thought, then shook his head: "Wearing the same clothes, I don't have any impression."

"Thank you Mr. Lianzhou."

Su Yan turned to Wang Tirui and said, "Mr. Shangshu also noticed something strange. The location Mr. Lianzhou chose to paint was the corridor bridge. From that angle, I couldn't see the place where Ye Langzhong fell from the building. Someone led him to the bridge. The purpose of going to the attic is to let the murderer’s figure into the painting. What’s the purpose of this move? If the guard is part of the murderer’s gang, why did he commit his evil deeds? If not, why didn’t he report to stop the murder if he knew in advance that the murder would happen?”

Wang Tirui pondered: "There is indeed something suspicious, but it may also be a coincidence."

Su Yan asked Shang Pu again: "Would Mr. Lian Zhou misread, or painted the wrong clothes? After all, there are many people in the scene, and the costumes are different."

Shang Pu was questioned about his professionalism, and he was obviously displeased: "There is absolutely no mistake in drawing the forehead. Do decades of housekeeping skills seem to be for nothing?"

"Then the second loophole is here." Su Yan took the scroll and pointed to the back of the suspect, "My lords, please look at the belt on this man, which is the same as that of Xiaguan before noon. It is a cloth belt. It is inlaid with a piece of belt. Look at the back of this painting, the belt is of a solid color. But at noon when the officials were learning to shoot in the forest, the belt was accidentally lost and could not be found anywhere. I had to replace it with a spare leather belt, which is still worn on my body. "

After hearing the words, everyone turned their attention to his waist, and saw that it was indeed a hard leather belt, with a circle of silver 钑 flower belts inlaid on the front and back, which was very different from the belt in the painting.

"If it's true that the next official went to the auxiliary building to stab Ye Langzhong, and then returned to Sheliuchang, how could he return to the palace to change his belt in just half a quarter of an hour? From this, we can only draw one conclusion——

The suspect had planned a long time ago to frame the subordinate officials, so he wore a Yesa with the same color and pattern as mine under his outer robe.When the next official returned to the palace to look for a new belt, the suspect tricked Ye Langzhong, who had come back from the jingshe, into the auxiliary building, took off his robe, grabbed the sword and wounded the person, then used the robe to cover the blood, and took it away with the murder weapon.He hung the unconscious Ye Langzhong on the fence, and after falling, he frightened the imperial concubine and empress, causing her to give birth prematurely. He also deliberately buried the murder weapon in the earth pit, and let the searchers dig it out to frame His Royal Highness Yu Wang.

At the same time, he made people pretend to be bodyguards, and induced Mr. Lianzhou to unintentionally record the scene before the murder, in an attempt to confirm me by relying on the court's final word.

This person is so ruthless and vicious in a series of tricks, in order to trap officials and His Royal Highness Prince Yu to death, he does not hesitate to involve the nobles, and cares about the safety of the empress and the dragon fetus, it is really hateful!It's just that people are not as good as heaven, he didn't expect that I changed my belt for some reason, and this showed his flaws. "

After finishing speaking in one breath, Su Yan went to the imperial court and knelt down solemnly, put his hands on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty has been wronged and wronged, please make the decision for me!"

He could not stand up on his knees, his spine was slightly arched, and he was as desolate as the crescent moon. Emperor Jing Long looked down, was silent for a moment, and asked: "Does Wang Shangshu have anything to say?"

Wang Tirui cupped his hands and said: "The old minister thinks that this belt is indeed a huge flaw. But in order to clarify the truth, the old minister will ask Su Xima to prove one last thing."

"What's the matter?"

"He said that before the incident, he went to the temple to change his spare belt. Are there any witnesses? If there is no one to testify, then his suspicions cannot be completely cleared."

Su Yan's heart skipped a beat.

He has a witness, but a witness who cannot see the light.

Jin Yiwei Qianhu Shen Qi.

If Shen Qi is exposed, it will definitely involve Feng'an Marquis Wei Jun's rape of the court lady, and the commander Feng Qu'e colluded with Wei Jun to order someone to do good for his evil.

Hit a snake for seven inches, but if you don't hit seven inches, the snake will be bitten by it before it dies.Forcing a court lady is a serious crime, but there is no real evidence. Even if the court lady is found and confronted face to face, there is no guarantee that the girl will not dare to identify Feng Anhou because of shame or fear.Concubine Wei gave birth to a prince, and it was the time when the fire was cooking. If she came forward to speak out for Wei Jun, she would most likely be able to exonerate him.

As for Shen Qi, she must be regarded as a traitor who eats inside and out, Feng Qu'e's methods are so vicious and cruel, how could he let him go, I'm afraid he might even die!

In order to cleanse himself of this suspicion, he had to take Shen Qi's life, this kind of thing, Su Yan could not do.What's more, Qianhu also saved his life from under the imperial staff. Although this person...is a sexual assault, but...

How to figure out who owes and who pays back, for a while, Su Yan was also a little confused.

Seeing that he did not make a sound for a long time, the emperor slightly frowned his brows like distant mountains, as if hesitating.

And behind Feng Qu'e in the Jinyiwei team, Shen Qi looked at Su Yan who couldn't kneel down, with a blank expression on his face.The five fingers holding the handle of the knife tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, stretched into a bloodless waxy white, with joints protruding from under the green and thin skin, like an owl unwilling to be caught, trying to survive Instinctively struggling.

It's useless, he thought, it's just a romantic relationship... No, it's not even a romantic relationship, it's just a matter of shaving your head.

After ten years of wind and frost, climbing to this position through untold hardships, it is not worthwhile to waste all previous efforts and even lose your life just for entertainment.

Just for fun.

But where did this heart-pounding pain come from?

It's ridiculous, a Yaksha Rakshasa who everyone hates can actually feel pain and still have a heart!

He closed his eyes tightly, and involuntarily took a step forward——

Emperor Jinglong stared at Su Yan's snow-white nape, a crow's wing-like blue silk, which couldn't be covered by the black gauze, lingered on his neck, as if he was also coquettishly humming.

The minister is wronged.

I know.

But it is not a good thing for you to use imperial power to suppress moral public opinion and forcibly exonerate you.

Your Majesty, please be the master of the ministers!

...that's all.The emperor's eyes showed helplessness, but his brows stretched out, and his lips parted lightly——

"Master, I'll do this certificate for him!" A clear and bright boy's voice sounded like thunder.

Everyone looked at Qi Yuan's prestige, and saw the prince Zhu Helin walking quickly, with the red robes flowing and flowing, followed by a few servants who were jogging and trotting.

Zhu Helin raised his voice and said: "Qinghe and Gu took the same car, and the spare clothes and accessories were also placed in the Gudian. After he lost his belt, he came to look for his servant Fubao in order to avoid losing his appearance in front of the king."

Fu Bao immediately answered: "Your Majesty, my lords, it is indeed the servant who greeted Mr. Su, and it was the servant who put on a new belt for Mr. Su."

"So, does Wang Shangshu have any questions? Do you have anything else to say?" Zhu Helin's eyes were stern, and he glanced at Wang Tirui, and then at the ministers. There was a hint of childishness on his face. The eagle looks at the wolf and Gu Zhixiang.

Wang Tirui shook his sleeves, and said solemnly: "The old minister enforces the law impartially. He has no personal grievances with Su Xima, and he has no intention of intimidating him. Please His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince. It's innocent."

King Yu laughed lightly, "There is also the lonely king, Wang Shangshu can't treat one more favorably than another."

Wang Tirui snorted coldly, as if he looked down on this prince's demeanor of a gentleman leader and prodigal leader.

Because of his notoriety among civil servants, King Yu was used to seeing the stinky faces of the Qingliu, and he didn't take it seriously. He bowed his hands to the emperor and said, "Since the suspicion is cleared, I will resign. By the way, when the case is cleared, The real murderer was caught, and I begged the emperor to return the fish intestines to my younger brother." After saying this, Shi Shi ran away.

Emperor Jing Long didn't bother with him, he just asked Lan Xi: "Have all the heads been counted?"

Lan Xi bowed and presented the list: "The count is over, except His Royal Highness Prince Yu and Su Shidu, there are seven people who were not present at that time."

At this moment, as dusk fell, the palace people nearby hurriedly lit the lanterns. The emperor took a look at the list, and Wei Jun was also among them, with the corners of his mouth pressed down imperceptibly.

"Envoy Wang, can the imperial concubine get up and drive back to the palace?"

Wang Chunfu reported: "Your Majesty is weak after giving birth, it is best to stay in bed for two or three days to recuperate before returning to the palace."

The emperor nodded: "Then I will accompany the imperial concubine to stay in Dongyuan for a few days. It coincides with the Dragon Boat Festival, and the ministers don't have to go to court, and they will rest for three days. And these seven people will be settled in Hongqing Hall on the east side and Chongzhi Hall on the south side. Please take good care of them, don’t be negligent, and investigate in detail at dawn tomorrow. King Yu also stays and lives in the Chonghua Palace in the middle road. The rest of the royal family and ministers will be escorted back to the city by Jin Yiwei.”

Lan Xi led the order to arrange.

Su Yan didn't get the emperor's order, but was still kneeling on the ground, wondering if the emperor had forgotten him, or if he should get up quietly and join the team returning to the city.

But he saw Emperor Jing Long walking in front of him, helped him up with his own hands, and said calmly: "You also live with the seven of them."

Su Yan was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt that his arm was pinched by the emperor, as if he meant something, and suddenly said in his heart: "I obey the order."
