Chapter 159

"If he hadn't killed Liu Zhan in those years, there would have been no disaster today. I don't know if Lord Ji thought what the king said was right?"

Xiao Yiyuan uses Ji Guozhong's almost rogue logic to get it in.

"This... Wang Ye, I have no such intention."

Ji Guozhong is completely flustered to see that Xiao Yiyuan's misfortune is brought to the East, or to xuanyuanjing, the most elusive of the three city masters.

Xuanyuanjing is a more terrifying figure than King Lin. he would rather be hated by king Lin and take revenge with those handles than be enemies with xuanyuanjing.

After a measure, Ji Guo was loyal and kowtowed

"Emperor, I'm old and dull, and I'm really not qualified for the post of Zhongcheng. I beg the emperor to allow me to return home in advance."

Ji Guozhong didn't want to be an enemy with the crown prince, but he was driven to the end by King Lin.

Now the plan to drag the prime minister into the water and undermine the power of the prince has failed. He can't get a good deal from king Lin, and offends the prince's family. He may even offend xuanyuanjing, who has a strange temper.

Continue to stay in DIDU, the muddy water will drown him.

He is not willing to be careful all his life, but he still has a bad ending.

Now, only by leaving can we find a way to live.

Xiao Chenglang has been dissatisfied with Ji Guozhong for a long time and has planned to take him to the sword. Seeing that he has offered to resign on his own initiative, he pushes the boat and nods his head.

However, although Ji Guozhong was dismissed, his previous words can not be ignored directly.

Xiao Chenglang pondered and said with dignity:

"Duwei Wang Jing failed in his work. Although there was a reason for his failure, he was eventually responsible. Now he was deprived of his post as Duwei and was demoted to an ordinary soldier. He could not be promoted within three years. If the prime minister's recommendation is improper, he should be guilty. However, he said that he was an elder of the three dynasties and had made great contributions to the country. He was punished for thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors for one month, copying the three scriptures of Di Zang Jing, Leng Yan Jing, and Bei Sheng Jing 100 times each. After one month, he personally set up a Taoist temple to pray for the dead. "

"The emperor is benevolent, virtuous, and wise, and the guilty Minister receives the order."

Han Zhengxi immediately kneels down to thank Xiao Chenglang for his words. Then the prince bows and bows, and Xiao Yiyuan kneels to the ground.

The discerning minister immediately fell to his knees with the three men and began to shout. It took a long time to dissipate.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction. King Lin saw the scene in front of him and knew that his father had once again chosen to stand on the side of the prince. If he said more at this time, it would be bad for him.

He was unwilling to clench his fist, and knelt down in hatred. When he saw him like this with the officials of his party, he also knelt down.

Later, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Xiao Chenglang issued a decree in Jinkou.

He ordered the Ministry of punishment and the Department of criminal justice to cooperate with each other and have full power to investigate the case of killing the family and the case reported by Liu Hu.

During this period, the first division of this department does not have to report any decision, but it must find out the two cases within 10 days.

If you don't do it, you will be severely punished!

……

An early court battle ended in people's different thoughts.

After the separation of the court, the two brothers stepped out of the Jinluan palace side by side and walked in the huge palace city

"Yiyuan, I'm very grateful to you just now."

If it had not been for Xiao Yiyuan's appearance, Ji Guozhong would have been demoted today.

"I'm just thinking about big brother. You don't have to thank me."

Xiao Yiyuan has no expression on Junyan. After Shen Weiran's death, his relationship with the Han family is no longer harmonious.

He finally put it down and found Xia Jin, but his father and son nearly killed him in the prison.

It's hard for him to let go of the past.

But for Han Zhengxi's old age, Xiao Yiyuan would not help him today.

"Grandfather, Yiyuan is not good at expressing. Don't worry about it."

The prince didn't want Xiao Yiyuan and Han Zhengxi's grandparents and grandchildren to have such a rigid relationship and say good things.

Han Zhengxi's heart sank slightly and forced out a smile. On his old face, he was hale and hearty, and his eyes were full of sincerity. His voice was the vicissitudes of thousands of rivers and mountains

"Yiyuan, in the past, it was our elders who lost their sense of propriety. Xia Jin is a good girl. You should seize the opportunity. My grandfather believes that you will be happy in the end."

Some time ago, he once again sent someone to investigate Xia Jin, and found that although her origin was a mystery, she was a kind and wise woman, not a person in the Queen's mouth.

Although she is still not worthy of Yiyuan, if she did not marry Yiyuan, they would not be unable to accept it. It's just that the Queen's office would have to spend more time persuading her.

Seeing that Han Zhengxi had said these words, although Xiao Yiyuan's face was still cold, his mood was surging.

He is a man, not a beast. He can't be completely heartless.

No matter how indifferent he is, he cares about his relatives in his heart.

"By my grandfather's good words, Xia Jin and I will be happy!"

His eyes were on Han Zhengxi, his sharp and cold face was soft, and his breath was no longer deep and cold.

Both the prince and Han Zhengxi were quite aware of his reaction, but they were relieved in a moment.

This is the first time Xiao Yiyuan took the initiative to call Han Zhengxi his grandfather after Shen Weiran's death, and gave him a good face.

The reason is that Han Zhengxi said a good word from Xia Jin.

They loved Xiao Yiyuan's happiness.

……

The atmosphere eased, and the three went all the way out of the palace.

After leaving the palace, Han Zhengxi went back to the prime minister's residence, while Xiao Yichen went to the Ministry of punishment with Xiao Yiyuan and Zhan Feng, who was in front of him.

After arriving at the Ministry of punishment, the three went straight to the room where Xiao Yiyuan worked. Zhan Feng consciously guarded the door to prevent anyone from approaching.

Inside, Xiao Yiyuan and his brother sit opposite each other across a wide table, quietly reading the files on the table about the case of extermination.

It took two hours for them to collect and sort out the clues they had collected before.

However, the final result is not satisfactory.

Xiao Yichen let out a long breath, put down the file in his hand, leaned back on the back of his chair, looked up at the beam, and his voice was deep

"Now, there is no other evidence except that the people who will kill lousong Wufu are Liu Zhan. Even if xuanyuanjing really grabs a knife, we can still get a confession. If we want to punish a powerful king by it, we will encounter the opposition of the court officials and the suspicion of the people

All these years, they only secretly knocked on king Lin, hoping that he would change his mind.

However, they underestimated the bewitching of power and status.

King Lin killed more than 400 people this time. He had already embarked on the road of no return of desire and could not turn back.

If they are allowed to continue, they will bear the brunt of the attack and be dealt with by him, leaving no way to survive.

However, there are many difficulties to punish him.

Now the situation is stuck, they seem to have entered a dead end.

"Wang Zhi, the left Chamberlain, is already investigating the assassins who appeared in Han Xiao's house last night. If we can find clues from these people, we can break the deadlock."

Xiao Yiyuan took the words, cold face, deep eyes, there are waves of thoughts surging.

If the assassins who appeared in Han Xiao's mansion had not prepared for a rainy day, they would have gone to Han's mansion at Xiao Yilin's will.

Either way, the purpose must be to make Han Xiao get rid of the suspicion.

If the assassins can find evidence to prove this conjecture, they will be further away from the final truth.
