Chapter 5: The Assassin Appears (Three)

"He Tengjiao, don't slander people. This marquis has never taken in this girl named Ma, and has never thought of taking her as a concubine for her child!" Li Yongzuo lost his calmness in desperation and retorted loudly at He Tengjiao.

He Tengjiao was waiting for this sentence. He slapped the auspicious wood and shouted loudly: "As bold as Li Yongzuo, Marquis of Fengcheng, you not only commit a crime, but also falsely accused good people. The evil people first complained, dispatched troops privately, set up a private court, beat innocent people, and deceived the emperor. What crime should you do? You have not brought it to the real person!"

When Li Yongzuo heard this, he knew that he had fallen into the trap of the other party. He told the truth, his eyes were blazing fire, and pointed at He Tengjiao and cursed: "He Tengjiao, you dog official actually set up a trap to deceive me. I want to go to the emperor to sue you!"

"Roaring at the court, insulting the imperial officials, one more crime!" He Tengjiao Teng stood up with a shout, "Come on, take off Li Yongzuo's official uniform, ask him to sign and seal it, and then put it in prison, and retrial it at a date."

"He Tengjiao, you dog official, you dare to deceive me. I can't spare you. I want to meet the emperor..." Four wolf-like and tiger-like yamen runners rushed forward, and removed Li Yongzuo's robe and purple gold marquis crown, locked his shackles, broke away Li Yongzuo's tight fist, pressed the red ink with his thumb, and then pressed it on the confession in black and white paper.

He Tengjiao looked at Li Yongzuo who was being taken away and still yelled, and secretly let out a sigh of relief. The case finally began.

"Governor Xu, Lord Chen, it's almost noon. The trial this morning is here. How can we continue in the afternoon?" He Tengjiao stood up and listened to the two accompanying people.

"Mr. He is the presiding judge and the owner of here. What do you think will happen?" Xu Yunzhen replied with a strange voice, then brushed his sleeves and left angrily. He felt anger in his heart. In addition, Li Yongzuo was imprisoned, can he be in a good mood?

Chen Yangmei stayed. He worked as a minister of Dali Temple for a while. He talked to He Tengjiao about some things. He Tengjiao performed well today, and his extraordinary ability to adapt to him even top him. However, he lacked a little time. It was good to put Li Yongzuo in prison, but it was indeed not possible to give Xu Yunzhen a step, which made him embarrassed. There are many villains in the officialdom and few gentlemen. A gentleman should learn how to protect himself. This is a science. He Tengjiao has not yet cultivated his family, so he should give him some advice so that the country will lose such a pillar of talent.

The news that Li Yongzuo asked He Tengjiao to detain him in the church soon reached Zhu Yinglong's ears in the south study of Yangxin Palace. When he was shocked, what trick did He Tengjiao use? He knocked Li Yongzuo's mouth so quickly and told him the truth?

Just as I was wondering if I would send someone to Dali Temple to ask, I heard the report from the eunuch of the Yellow Gate that Xu Yunzhen, the governor of the City Defense Force, asked for a visit outside the Yangxin Palace.

I happened to find someone to ask about the situation, so I came to accompany me to listen, so I sent an order to see Xu Yunzhennan's study.

After seeing the courtesy of the king and his subjects, Zhu Yinglong naturally asked about the case trial of Dali Temple this morning. Although Xu Yunzhen was a little impulsive and ignored the consequences and still wanted to save face, he was not as good as deceiving the emperor. Although his words were full of dissatisfaction with He Tengjiao, he finally objectively told the situation in the morning.

"Your Majesty, considering the military achievements made by Ruofengcheng Marquis in the past, I beg you to be gentle to him!" Xu Yunzhen said at the end, kneeling down and pleading.

Zhu Yinglong pondered and said nothing. Now he was unable to lose his sentence. A marquis committed such a serious crime. If the punishment was lighter, what would the people in the world think and what would they think? He also wanted to deal with this matter in a low-key manner. Who knew that Li Yongzuo was just a stick. Not only did he not know how to correct his crime, but in order to avenge his son, he became even worse. The evil man complained first and sued him in front of him, not to punish him for deceiving the king. That was because he didn't know that he was the one who interrupted his son, and he forced the fire to suppress it.

"Will you be gentle, how can you let me be gentle?"

"Emperor, this is all Li Yongzuo's obsession with the moment, so he caused such a huge panic. The emperor thought that he had been loyal to the late emperor for many years, so he would forgive him for this time!" Xu Yunzhen knelt down and begged.

"The case has not been settled yet. Is Li Yongzuo guilty? What punishment should I be sentenced? I have to wait for the Dali Temple Minister's memorial. It would be too early for you to plead with me now, right?" Zhu Yinglong glanced at Xu Yunzhen indifferently.

"Your Majesty, Huang Shang..." Xu Yunzhen called out twice and found that he had nothing to say. Zhu Yinglong, who was originally sitting on the imperial throne, had quietly left, his outstretched arm hanging down weakly, and then he had to get up and leave.

After going down the interrogation, Li Yongzuo seemed to have known something, firmly denied the confession of the morning and insisted on the original statement. He Tengjiao knew that someone had revealed the news to him. Li Yongzuo must have known Magu's identity, so he was fearless. He Tengjiao could have sent the tea guests present that night, including Dr. Tea and the shop owner, to question them one by one. Although most of them said the same, the finger pointed at Li Yongzuo, Li Heng and his son, one of them said the opposite confession, and insisted that someone bribed him for false confession. He did not agree, and even presented the property he gave him in court. Li Yongzuo recognized it as one of the precious jewelry stolen by his family. The case was confusing and dazzling.

He Tengjiao knew that this person had been bribed by Li Yongzuo for a lot of money, but he even bit Ma Gu and said that the tea lover had asked Ma Gu to bribe him to make false sacrifices, but he had no choice now. The servants and maids of the Hou Mansion even verified to prove to their master's family that Ma Gu was the maid who fled from the Hou Mansion and stole a large amount of jewelry and property from the Hou Mansion. They even gave Ma Gu the crime of being accustomed to stealing the property, and they were the leader. They pretended to be pitiful and were almost frozen to death. In fact, they were the opportunity to enter the Hou Mansion and steal the property, and then flew away. Even the method of committing the crime was vividly depicted.

The result was very dramatic. Li Yongzuo, who had been imprisoned for less than half a day, could not be convicted of the crimes with insufficient evidence. At most, he would roar in the court and insult the imperial court to punish the officials, and would be punished with twenty sticks. However, he was a marquis and had privileges. These punishments could naturally be exempted, and at most some fines were fined.

"What a mess!" Zhu Yinglong was furious and smashed the file in his hand on He Tengjiao's head.

"Your Majesty, I am not good at handling the case. Please punish me!" He Tengjiao knelt on the cold floor tiles, lowered his head, and did not dare to show up.

"I arrested the person and released him in a blink of an eye. Let me tell me, is there anyone who tried the case like this?" Zhu Yinglong found that he underestimated the following people. They could turn black into white in a blink of an eye, and white into black in a blink of an eye. Isn't it easier to fool himself?

"I know the crime!" He Tengjiao only felt like a fallen leaf in the storm, drifting with the wind and drifting with the flow.

"I'm going to personally try this case!" Zhu Yinglong felt that it would be better to cut the mess quickly. If they continue to try this case, I don't know how many new things will come out of nothing. He was wrong from the beginning, so he shouldn't deal with it in a cold manner. He should deal with it in a high-profile manner and sound the alarm for the nobles.

"Emperor?" He Tengjiao, who was kneeling below, suddenly looked up and looked at the furious emperor in surprise.

"Where is Magu?" Zhu Yinglong asked in a deep voice.

"Let me, let me take it into custody!" He Tengjiao touched Zhu Yinglong's sharp eyes, as if he had chosen someone to eat, which scared him so much that he replied with a trembling heart.

"Send someone to serve me, and you will have a hair short. I want your head!" Zhu Yinglong said sternly.

"I obey the order!" He Tengjiao quickly agreed.

"Emperor, in fact, only Doctor Li..." He Tengjiao said.

"I understand, you go back first." Zhu Yinglong was a little uneasy and didn't want to hear He Tengjiao say more, so he interrupted directly.

"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave!" He Tengjiao was already sweating profusely, because he always felt that although the emperor had entrusted him with important tasks, he seemed to have some disliked him. Therefore, every time he saw Zhu Yinglong, he felt a psychological burden. With a layer of burden, he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear every time, and he attributed him to the illusory and unpredictable power.

"There are the two first-ranking Grand Secretary of the Military Machinery Pavilion, the British Duke Zhang Guowei, the Minister of Justice Yang He, the Left Censor Chen Yangmei, the Governor of the City Defense Army Xu Yunzhen, and the Chief of Shuntian Prefecture Shi Kefanan's Study Room!"

Zhu Yinglong's summons only broke the calf of the yellow eunuch who had issued the order and sent the order to everyone. Han Yu and Sun Chengzong, who were left behind in the cabinet and the military cabinet, came to the south study of Yangxin Palace before the others.

As soon as they entered the Nan Study room, they felt that the atmosphere in the Nan Study room was not right today. The smell of gunpowder in the air seemed to have not dissipated yet. The emperor got angry? The two old men were not sure about the fact of the interrogation of Dali Temple today, but their ability to adapt to the situation was already perfect. They both stepped into the threshold and walked to the contemplative emperor who had closed down and leaned over and knelt down and said, "Han Gong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Sun Chengzong, the chief assistant of the military cabinet, kowtowed to the emperor!"

"Get up, two old friends." Zhu Yinglong slowly opened his eyes.

"You can also check this file!" Zhu Yinglong ordered Xu Yingyuan, who had returned to the palace, to Han and Sun, the two cabinet masters.

In the calm before the storm, Han Yu and Sun Chengzong took the file from Xu Yingyuan nervously, and at the same time, this feeling arose.

When they opened the file, their faces changed drastically. This time, even if the Marquis of Fengcheng did not destroy the nine clans, they would probably have to eliminate the three clans. Li Yongzuo and his son were brave enough. If the previous emperors were in power, they would probably be unable to escape death.

With a light "bang", Han Yu closed the file in his hand and said, "Emperor, if the Marquis of Fengcheng is too inappropriate, the old minister suggests..."

"Your beloved Han, don't say much. I have decided to personally try this case!" Zhu Yinglong blocked Han Yu's words all at once.

When the case was personally tried, Han Yu and Sun Chengzong looked at each other and understood that the emperor was completely angry. In this case, it would be impossible to take back his life.
