Chapter 849

"I'm not sure if the second brother did it, but there's one thing. Those adults are finished." Huo Yanchen sighed, "do you know who those high officials are?"

"The king of the city?" Gong is still uncertain.

Huo Yanchen nodded and looked nervous: "now the Palace door has not been opened, I can't go in, so I can only go to Tianlong to have a look and feel the bottom."

"The Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment said that those high-ranking officials could only be put on trial with the emperor's order." Gong Shang said this sentence, hit the mouth, "Ministry of punishment Shangshu grade is not enough, the Lord is naturally enough."

Huo Yanchen left, Gong Shang followed closely.

When the Minister of punishment returned to the government, he changed his clothes and asked the Yamen to rush to the village Gongshang told him.

Now it's almost dawn, and they should come back. The Minister of punishment has a memorial of last night's testimony on hand.

The sky slowly brightened up, the sun also climbed up from the horizon, but people do not feel warm.

The Minister of punishment came out with a memorial. When we got to Chaoyang hall, Huo Yanchen and Huo Jin were already inside. Jing Zhaoyin and the Minister of punishment went in together.

The emperor's face turned white, his lips were not bloody, and there seemed to be more silver on his head.

"I will join the emperor."

"Flat." The emperor's expression is not good, last night's matter, he only knew a little, now he wants to know the cause and effect, "present."

"Yes." The Minister of punishment and Jing Zhaoyin presented the memorial to Gao Mao and sent it to the emperor.

The head of the cabinet and several ministers also came. Before saluting, they were stopped by the emperor and stood on one side.

The hall was silent, and Huo Yanchen and Huo Jin had different expressions.

When the emperor looked at the memorial, his eyes became more and more discontented. His brow wrinkled into a knot in one's heart. He only looked at three copies of the memorial and patted it heavily on the table: "bold!"

"Father Emperor (emperor) calm down!"

"Gao Mao, go and call the prince!" The emperor was angry and coughed again

"Yes." Gao Mao bowed and trotted away.

"Take care of the dragon."

The emperor looked at the man kneeling down, his eyes slightly relaxed: "get up, jun'er, you talk about it!"

"Hui Fu Huang, son minister is in Yun er's wedding day, met on the way back to the palace, feel strange, let a person to check, found that the emperor someone forced to buy and sell women." Huo Yanchen can't tell the emperor that it was the old man who told him, so he had to transfer.

"What a coincidence." Huo Jin said, a face of displeasure, the loss of people, are his, but also a high official.

"I think so, too." Huo Yanchen looks at Huo Jin and replies that he has doubted Huo Jin.

"The number of people who died has been investigated?" The emperor held the memorial and looked at the Minister of punishment.

The Minister of punishment stepped forward and said respectfully, "when I return to the emperor, the memorial only shows the number of people who died last night, the dry well where the corpse was thrown, and the number of people who died in the slaughtered village. It's still an investigation."

"So many people died here alone!" The emperor dropped the memorial and took a deep breath. His face turned red. He coughed a few more times. "Have all these officials been interrogated?"

As soon as Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment wanted to speak, Huo Yanchen stood up and said, "father, I hope father will forgive me. My son's ministers have not got the will, and they have been interrogated privately."

"What is the result of the interrogation?" The Emperor didn't mean to blame him.

"They're just spending money where they're going. They're just dead in their hands. I'm afraid there are a lot of them." Huo Yanchen really only asked these questions. The adults just said, where did they go in? It was just drinking. Later, the woman told them this way. After playing once, they became addicted.

"Well! Everyone should die! For the people, hurt the people, they do not need you to trial! He was removed from office. " The emperor put his hands on the table and looked at the Minister of punishment. He nodded at the Minister of punishment and said, "the emperor has always committed the same crime as the common people, but he has done such a thing with the salary of the court. We should be sentenced to death and make an example. "

"Emperor, although they have made a mistake, they have done their best to the imperial court. They are all old ministers. It's not appropriate for them to commit such a serious crime." The cabinet chief came forward.

"I can't understand the words of Shoufu." The Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment stood up, his face obviously angry, "that's a piece of fresh human life. Although you adults have made great contributions, you can't stand to clear the wronged souls. If the law enforcers do not comply with the law, they should be punished severely. If they are wrong, those who have a little conscience in the court should not have any objection. Moreover, the emperor's decision has calmed the hearts of the people and blocked the people's mouths! "

"My son thought that what the Minister of punishment said was very true." Huo Yanchen should make peace.

Cabinet chief seems to have something else to say, Huo Jinyi stood up, expression can't bear and with anger: "son minister seconded."

The cabinet chief and assistant see that the two princes are like this, and no longer defend.

"Let Aiqing do it." The emperor nodded and pointed to the Minister of punishment.

"Back to the emperor." The Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment had a resolute expression and said, "I think this matter should be thoroughly investigated."

"Who's behind this?" The emperor's face became more and more heavy, and his displeasure was obvious.

There was no one in the hall to speak for a while, but now only the officials involved have been dealt with, and the subject of this matter has not been studied in detail.

"Father and emperor, son and Minister think, don't believe the word, after all, this case is important, should be multi-faceted research." Huo Yanchen said this to tell the emperor that he should not suspect Yutang before he has a clear investigation.

The emperor took a look at Huo Yanchen. Tomorrow morning, he suppressed the anger on his face, but his tone was even worse than just now: "where's the prince?! Why not!? Is it really getting more and more lazy? "

"Your Highness is here."

When the emperor had finished speaking, Gao Mao came in, followed by Yu Tang.

Yutang took a look at Huo Yanchen. He knew something, but he didn't understand why the emperor was so anxious to summon him. He knelt down and said, "my son, please see my father."

"Take good care of the dragon body. If a son's minister makes a mistake, he will punish him." Yutang shows weakness. He really doesn't know what happened. He stares at Huo Jin very closely and doesn't see any action of Huo Jin.

"See for yourself!" The emperor coughed uncontrollably. When he took it down, Gao Mao handed over his handkerchief. Seeing the red color of the emperor's palm, he was afraid and cried in a low voice: "the Emperor..."

The emperor shook his head, took the handkerchief, quickly wiped the blood, picked up the memorial and threw it in front of Yutang.

Yutang was uneasy, and he didn't receive Huo Yanchen's saying that there was something wrong. One by one, the more he went to the back, the more frustrated he was: "father, my son, I've never done anything so hurtful. Please learn from him!"

"No? Then tell me why everything can be related to the crown prince of Donggong? " When the emperor came in, he was more likely to get angry and could not control his anger. "You are the prince of the east palace. You should consider for the people. Why can you do such a thing?"

"My son didn't!" Yutang roared out, his face turned red.
