Si Tian Guan Chapter 158

    Liu Chongming was called to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation and saw King Qi who was still kneeling in front of the hall. The situation was special, and neither of them said hello.

    The King of Qi still couldn't figure it out, but he was very clear.

    Ren Rui's trouble this time is not just a simple sentence to kill innocent people.

    In this way, the affairs of Jinpingzhuang are also inseparable from King Qi.

    Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it is impossible for King Qi to escape easily this time, let alone two other tigers and wolves waiting for the opportunity.

    After the imperial doctor withdrew, Liu Chongming lifted the curtain and entered the inner hall.

    In a few days, Emperor Yu was so haggard that he seemed to have suddenly aged a lot. Seeing him coming in, he tried to speak several times, but was interrupted by a cough.

    There was no one else in the hall, Yu Dexi pushed the chair over, Liu Chongming thanked him, and sat down.

    The results of the interrogation of the past few days have just come in. Emperor Yu announced that he would have nothing else to do. He looked at Yu Dexi's eyes and took the initiative to speak.

    "Your Majesty, everyone from Zuo Xiaoying has recruited. Ren Rui asked them to do the riots in Chengfeng paddock watching the city. They prepared to go down the mountain in advance, aiming at the fetus in Zhu Meiren's womb. "

    "Afterwards, he met Baishiyan while searching the mountain. Ren Rui saw that he was alone and had a bad idea, so he was attacked. Shiyan was lucky to escape from the gap in the mountain."

    "It's just that they didn't give up, they searched all the way south, and bumped into Zhuangzi in the mountains."

    "According to them, there were guards in Zhuangzi who injured them, and Ren Rui ordered Zhuangzi to be slaughtered, his head cut off, and he pretended to be an old citizen of Liequ and came back to receive the reward."

    "The thirty-eight members of Zuo Xiaoying were interrogated separately, and their confessions were consistent. Please take a look at the emperor."

    "Look at it! Look at it!" Emperor Yu suddenly swept the booklets from several cases to the ground, and said angrily: "Every one is so bold! If you don't have a serious mind, you all know how to plot against me, Fooling me! I even hit the unborn child! Have they eaten the guts of a bear and a leopard! Who gave them the guts!"

    Liu Chongming hurriedly got up and knelt down: "Your Majesty, calm down! The ministers also tortured them. They all said that they only had personal grudges with Zhu Meiren's family."

     Emperor Yu's face flushed red, as if he was going to be out of breath in the next moment.

    "Private grudges! Thirty or forty people all have private grudges with the same family! Don't even know that my belly is my flesh and blood?! Do you think I'm a fool! Baishiyan! Why don't you come back and say nothing? throat!"

    "Your Majesty, the minister also asked Shi Yan, and Shi Yan said that he fled in a panic, and it was hard to tell who the other party was. It's plain to cause trouble to the emperor."

    On the contrary, Emperor Yu was even more angry: "He is the dignified commander of the Beiya, and he was chased and beaten like a stray dog, and he dared not let a fart! Still not a kind! Go and call him! Ren Rui!"

    "Back to the emperor, Ren Rui has committed suicide by biting his tongue."

     Yu Di was about to say something, but he leaned to the side, so frightened that Yu Dexi quickly touched the mint fragrance on the table and probed the bottom of his nose, and was trembling again Pushed away tremblingly.

    "Chongming! Go to my trial again, if you still bring these unclear confessions, don't come to see me!"

    "Your Majesty!" Liu Chongming kowtowed to the end, and then suddenly straightened his body: "Excuse me to say it bluntly! If this matter is further investigated, I am afraid that this minister... will not be able to take on this position."

    Emperor Yu turned his eyes: "What do you mean?"

    "Your Majesty, Nanya is a soldier under the command of Prince Qi. The minister came to arrest people this time, and many people were dissatisfied, and there were discussions in private. If we dig deeper, the minister is afraid..."

    Liu Chongming seemed to be very determined, and then said the following words: "I am afraid that which prince will be involved, I cannot afford it."

    "In the past, the minister would have nothing to fear, but now the elder sister of the minister is also in the flesh of the emperor. Think, conspiracy."

    "The minister is young and ignorant, and he does not know everything in the court. If there is no seriousness in his subordinates, the minister will be blamed for his death. At that time, I hope that the emperor will be loyal to the minister, and don't blame my sister. ."

    Liu Chongming kowtowed again when he was excited.

    "The emperor's kindness to the minister is re-created, and the minister does not dare to live up to it. I just ask the emperor to know the sincerity of the minister. If there is any blame in the future, the minister is willing to bear it."

     Emperor Yu looked at him silently, before taking a deep sigh: "Get up."

    Yu Dexi hurried to help him.

    Liu Chongming stood up with red eyes.

    "I watched you grow up, but I don't know your temper. I give you the Jinxiu camp. What I want is the momentum of your newborn calf. Just let it go. Come to me and chew your tongue, and I will make the decision for you."

    Liu Chongming sniffed, and bowed to the ground again: "I am willing to smash my body to pieces for the emperor!"

    He turned to leave, but was stopped by the voice behind him.

    "Rename."

    Liu Chongming hurriedly turned his head: "Does the emperor have any orders?"

    Yu Di twirled the fragrance of mint before raising his eyes for a long time: "Jinpingzhuang... Have you checked it out?"

    "Jinpingzhuang..." Liu Chongming was stunned for a moment before he realized: "The emperor said that the Zhuangzi who was slaughtered? I did see this plaque in Zhuangzi. Live, I haven't figured out who is inside, but the minister has already sent people around to inquire, presumably there will be results in a few days."

    Yu Dexi bowed and looked at Emperor Yu with breathless eyes. After a while, he saw the gaze that came over and seemed to be full of exhaustion.

    "Your Highness," he tiptoed down the steps, pulled Liu Chongming aside, and said softly, "Since Your Highness has already investigated that Zhuangzi, our family will not hide it from your Highness. , that is, thirty-five sins to have children."

    Liu Chongming didn't seem to react for a while, and he was surprised after a while: "The people that Ren Rui killed..."

    He glanced at Emperor Yu quickly and did not dare to continue.

    As if to confirm his thoughts, Yu Dexi said slowly: "This matter is very important, but you can't let others know that it is indispensable to have children from sin, and there is a son of Lao Shi."

    Liu Chongming turned around halfway, bowed his hands to Emperor Yu, and said loudly: "The emperor's love, the minister will certainly live up to his trust!"

    "Chongming," Emperor Yu didn't lift his eyelids: "It's hard to find people, you will go to the Ministry of Housing to pick up some money later, if there is a shortage, tell me again about this matter. Make sure to do it right.”

    "It's an honor for the emperor to have good eyes on his ministers. The ministers have had a small production these years, so there is no need to work the household department!"

    "If you want to take it, just take it, why don't you touch your private property, do it well, naturally I will not treat you badly," Yu Di had a rare smile on his face : "I know that you have quick hands and feet and a shrewd mind, and you will definitely not make mistakes. Tell me, what do you want me to reward you with?"

    Liu Chongming was confident and did not shirk: "Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to ask for, but I beg to return the slave that His Highness snatched to the minister. Don't say that the minister has raised him for a few years, it is another challenge. The appearance of Yi, just because His Highness robbed someone, I have been laughed at by my friends several times in private. I am not convinced."

    The temperature in the inner hall that was warm just now suddenly turned cold.

     Emperor Yu closed his eyes and took a short rest, looked up and saw that he was still standing, seemingly very tired, and waved his hand: "Go on."

    Without waiting for Liu Chongming to say anything, Yu Dexi shook the dust and pointed out the way for him.

    The cold outside the door seemed to be even worse than before, Liu Chongming couldn't help shivering, bowed to King Qi outside the door again, and walked down the steps step by step.

      .

    Liu Chongming felt very tired, the fresh energy just now seemed to have exhausted all his strength in advance, and there seemed to be sandbags hanging on his feet, dragging him down with every step he took.

    When he got down to the last floor, he was dazed for a long time, and suddenly turned around.

    He then raised his hand, wiped his eyes, and turned away.

    Qu Chenzhou woke up slowly in the smell of black agarwood, and the curtain he saw when he opened his eyes was the most familiar pattern.

    Everything seems like a lifetime, as if there was never a new life.

    I remembered.

    He fainted in front of the emperor in Qingxinjuli.

    Since he was dragged back from Shili Pavilion, his body was riddled with holes, and he never even thought that he would survive the new night attack.

    But after all, she survived.

    This scar is the evidence that he broke with Liu Chongming, and there is no time for him to slowly recover.

    It has been a long time since the Jinpingzhuang tragedy. If he was discovered in advance, he would have lost the best opportunity to make the emperor believe.

    Thanks for everything.

    The only thing he didn't expect was that Liu Chongming would come.

    From the moment Liu Chongming knelt outside the door of Qingxinju and said the first sentence, he has been keenly aware of Liu Chongming's change in attitude, he must know something.

     Emperor Yu's suspicions, he is most aware.

    I was ready to grit my teeth and endure the past interrogation and torture.

    The only strength left made him have no time to think about other things, he only remembered that he was pulling the front of his shirt out of control, revealing the scars on half of his body, and only remembering that his ears were full of sobbing.

    "Your Majesty, it's not a slave who betrays his master! Dare to ask the Emperor, who would like to be a slave forever! Who would like to be a slave forever!"

    I don't know who is yelling at him for being arrogant, and I don't know who is dragging him.

    Qu Chenzhou only knew that he had exhausted his last strength, and he couldn't even risk his death to take another step forward, and he completely lost consciousness.

    Everything around me became blurry, as if the soul had once again separated from the body and floated in the clouds.

    He tried hard to open his eyes, but it was in vain, and it took some time before he realized that someone was turning his body.

    "Take note, back whiplash on the leg...chest...the frostbite on the feet..."

    Someone was talking beside the bed and fell on the ear intermittently: "The back waist...the brand is swollen..."

    He twitched suddenly, and the needle pierced into the neck was quickly pulled out.

    "Toxic in the body..."

    The man lifted the quilt, grabbed one ankle, raised it, and reached over with a few fingers.

    Qu Chenzhou finally couldn't help crying out in pain, and shook his head back.

    "Tear...wound badly..."

    He was checked inside and out, then fell back on the bed with no strength, and passed out.

    I don't know how long I was in a coma.

    The curtain was lifted, and the west sun was hazy outside the window. Someone leaned slightly towards him: "Are you awake?"

    He slowly rolled his eyes, was helped to sit up, fed a few sips of water, and finally made a sound from his burning throat.

    "Father..."

    Yu Dexi looked at him up and down several times, with a smile on his face: "Qu Chenzhou, our family asks you a few questions, you must answer truthfully, if there is a half lie, Don't blame me for sending you to the prince again."

    Qu Chenzhou clenched his hand uneasily by the bedside, and answered in a low voice, "Father-in-law ask, but slaves never lie."

    Yu Dexi was satisfied with his obedience.

    "First, do you really know the future with your eyes? Has anyone told you about Jinpingzhuang?"

    "Father-in-law Hui, the slave had a serious illness when he was a child. After the illness was healed, he could see some hexagrams and divination for the same person every five days. In the building, the shopkeeper used to make a living for the slave. The hexagrams said by the slaves are all true. Jinpingzhuang... No one told the slaves that it was the emperor's hexagrams."

    "Well..." Yu Dexi nodded: "You were bought by the prince, is the prince treating you well?"

    Qu Chenzhou lowered his eyes and rolled down two lines of tears: "The prince is indeed careful to teach the slave, even teaching the slave to read and write, but the father-in-law has seen the slave Scars. The prince only regards slaves as playthings, if he treats slaves well, father-in-law can ask Prince Ning."

    Yu De was delighted to see his tears rolling down like beads, and he sighed: "Forget it, don't cry. Since you are listed in the Qisheng Building for divination, who did the prince ask you to do divination for? Gua?"

    Qu Chenzhou carefully wiped away the tears and bit his lower lip.

     "Father-in-law, shopkeeper Du treats slaves harshly. At first, the slave was young and could not bear to be beaten and scolded. He made a lot of money for his divination. But the shopkeeper still refused to forgive me, and almost beat the slave to death several times. , the slave gradually... no longer speaks."

    "When the prince bought the slave, the slave's signboard had already been taken off, and he hadn't divination for a long time. The prince didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and the slave refused to speak, so ... he did not divination for the prince."

    "I didn't let the prince know about the power of divination."

    He sobbed lowly, slipped from the bed and knelt down, prostrate on the ground.

    "Gong Gong Ming Cha, this slave has these eyes, so he can't lie anymore, Gong Gong Ming Cha."

    "The father-in-law has pity, and the slave's answer is true. I beg the father-in-law not to return the slave to the prince's hands. The slave's life will not be guaranteed."

    Yu Dexi was quiet for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

    "Where are you talking? Our family has indeed heard from His Highness and Prince Ning, and if you believe in you," he actually came to help Qu Shenzhou get up: "What slaves are not slaves? , the emperor has ordered our family to go to the control department in addition to your slave status, and..."

    Another palace servant lifted the bright red silk cloth and unfolded the crown embroidered with seven chapters.

    "Congratulations," Yu Dexi unfolded a roll of bright yellow sacred objects in his hands, smiling in his eyes: "Congratulations to Qu Sitian, Qu Sitian accepted the order!"

    Qu Chenzhou knelt down and bowed down.

    The afterglow of the sunset is not far from Dexi boots.

    Yu Dexi only recited the imperial decree, but did not know

    —Qu Sitian, who stirred the situation with one hand, came to the world again.
