A sneer appeared in Feng Zhiwei's eyes, and she said: "Yes."
Emperor Tiansheng avoided her eyes.
Feng Zhiwei's eyes were sarcastic - where did the list come from? If Peng Pei really wanted to accept bribes, how could he be so stupid as to leave the list? She said this just to prove Peng Pei's guilt and to test Emperor Tiansheng's attitude towards the case. Anyway, her mansion was burned down, so it was reasonable to not be able to come up with the list for a while. Emperor Tiansheng really wanted to investigate, so she also It was possible to finally find out who was involved, but now, Emperor Tiansheng didn't even ask anyone to go to her house to check, which shows that he has already made up his mind to keep this case under wraps.
He sneered in his heart without showing anything on his face, and continued, "Wei Chen had this doubt, so he paid special attention to the Chunwei test questions, and secretly made arrangements to protect the test questions. On the surface, the night guard is no different, but in fact It is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so it does not leak. Especially when the ministers are not on duty and the two ministers are not around, the ministers are even more careful."
"On the night when the theft of test questions occurred, the secret guards sent by Wei Chen came to report to Wei Chen that there was someone mysterious and suspicious around the Ministry of Rites. Wei Chen did not want to alert the snake, so he ordered the guards to pay careful attention."
"A fire broke out in Weichen's mansion immediately. Weichen knew something was wrong at the time, and it must be related to the list. He didn't dare to wander around, so he followed the Second Highness's palace."
"Let the grass-roots people talk about the following things." Zong Chen suddenly said, "The grass-roots people Zong Chen is from Nanhai. He was born in Wuquan Mountain in the South China Sea. He has a good relationship with Yan Huaishi, the head of the Yan family. The head of the Yan family is favored by Master Wei. It's very serious, please ask the grassroots to lead a group of Yan family guards to protect the benefactor. On the night of the incident, the grassroots saw a figure flashing across the wall outside the wall of the Ministry of Rites, so they closely monitored and reported to the owner. Your Excellency, please grassroots not to alert the snake, but to act according to the opportunity. The grassroots followed the man in black and saw him unlocking the door and stealing the test questions. Before leaving, he locked the door again. The grassroots followed him until they arrived at Donglou Street and Xier Hutong, where they found Li Changyong wandering around, and they understood in their hearts. What happened, so they intercepted the question thief outside Xier Hutong, took away the test questions, and then captured Li Changyong. After asking what Li Changyong wanted to do, the people thought that they might as well use the trick to find out who was behind the incident. However, the Chunwei test questions are of great importance. No matter who is handed over to him, he may be convicted for being exposed to the test questions in the future. So he found Tian Liu, who had a good relationship with Mr. Wei in the early days, but later quit Qingming due to eye problems, and asked him to pretend to be for this matter. Once Li Changyong and Tian Liu were righteous, they agreed and went near Beisi Hutong with the test questions in hand... Later, they were caught by the Imperial Palace as expected."
Emperor Tian Sheng kept listening with half-closed eyes, as if thinking about whether there was anything fishy about this passage. After deliberation for a while, he felt that it was impeccable. Wei Zhi’s response was considered well-intentioned. Even the person who led the snake out of the hole carefully arranged it. Blind Tian Liu, let alone the crime of negligence, is just nitpicking.
After a while, Emperor Tian Sheng asked with a sullen face: "How come Tian Liu is here with you now?"
"Your Majesty." Zong Chen smiled, "Whether it was the theft of test questions or the arrest of people by the Imperial Palace, the timing here was too coincidental, and the common people were worried about the Imperial Palace, fearing that Brother Tianliu would stay in the Imperial Palace or the Ministry of Punishment. The pain of eating flesh and blood can even lead to death, so the grassroots have been keeping watch. After the first court appearance over there, they stole Brother Tian Liu out. Brother Tian is so righteous that he is willing to take risks for the sake of my family. We can't let him go again. Something went wrong."
"Where is the person who stole the test questions you mentioned now?"
"The common people have captured him. This man has a tough talk. The common people believe that they have no right to interrogate this person on behalf of the country's legal system, but they are not confident in handing him over to the current Imperial Palace and the Ministry of Punishment. They are afraid that he will accidentally die. This man Now he is at the grassroots. If Your Majesty is willing, the grassroots can directly hand him over to the Imperial Forest Army."
There was no blood on the face of the great scholar Wu in the hall. Emperor Tiansheng pondered for a moment and said coldly: "I will send someone to arrest this person later."
Zong Chen smiled and bowed before retreating.
Grandmaster Wu reached for the teacup with trembling hands. He raised his hand several times and then dropped it stiffly. Grandmaster Hu immediately supported him and said with a low smile: "Old Wu, what's wrong with you? Your face is so ugly? Why? Not good?"
Grand Scholar Wu looked at him blankly, knowing in his heart that he was doing something wrong, and tried his best to calm down, but his heart was in a mess, as if he was being fried in boiling oil, how could he maintain his dignity and dignity?
The second prince's face was dark, not white at all, but there was a faint greenish-yellow color to it. The fingers placed under the case were trembling slightly in the deserted place.
The Seventh Prince half-hidden his face with a folding fan, hiding the expression on his face. A beautifully embroidered fan pendant between his fingers somehow lost a few strands of silk, and he silently put the silk strands into his sleeves.
Looking sideways at Ning Yi, the Seventh Prince snorted in his heart... His Majesty was not going to leave the palace today. This was confirmed by his inquiries. Who made His Majesty come here to hear the trial? Arriving in such a timely manner?
Failed... again.
"Your Majesty." After a long time, Feng Zhiwei said softly, as if sighing, "Some people have worked really hard to concoct this shocking case. They stole the Ministry of Rites, burned the Wei Mansion, colluded with officials, and forged witnesses. Almost all of the witnesses they brought to court today were perjured, so heartbreaking and shocking..."
She sighed, looking like she didn't regret her own death, but it was worrying to have such vicious courtiers around His Majesty.
Emperor Tiansheng was silent.
The silence returned to the hall.
Different from the previous condensed and oppressive silence, the silence at this moment is cold and hot. There is a trembling breath flowing in the air, like the cool incense ashes in the purple copper stove overnight. In fact, There are still dark red jumping sparks hidden, just waiting for the heavy dust to fly away and splash up——
"Peng Pei!"
As expected, the silence was shattered in an instant, and Emperor Tiansheng’s angry shouts resounded through the hall like a hurricane!
Peng Pei, who was semi-conscious due to excessive bleeding and unable to get up from the fence, and who was not even clear about what he said later, was shaken by the sound and suddenly woke up and opened his eyes wide. With his eyes open, he saw in horror that Emperor Tiansheng stood up angrily and pulled the long sword worn by a guard of the Royal Forest Army behind him. He quickly ran towards him, grabbed it in his hand and chopped off his head——
"I'll kill you, you crazy bastard!"
