Chapter 88
Chapter 88
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Imperial City Patrol Battalion and Imperial Guard Battalion have all received their punishments.Naturally, the southern border mission would not intentionally let the beast out of the cage and repeatedly plead guilty. The past few days are the time when the various countries and the state of Yan are in a heated relationship. Emperor Yongguang didn't pursue anything. Just go down and rest first.
What Lu Qi said was correct, if Emperor Yongguang hadn't left the banquet earlier, those ferocious beasts would have gone straight to the holy driver, and no one would have been able to get past the mud.
In the past, Concubine Jin and Emperor Yongguang had a life-and-death dispute, and finally died a tragic death. As a result, the relationship between the mother country Nanjiang and Yan Kingdom was restored in recent years.
The southern Xinjiang mission resigned, and the rest in the hall were "our own people". Emperor Yongguang glanced at the ministers who were mourning and fleeing for their lives, and shook his head helplessly: "Su Qing has a sprained ankle? Go back and rest quickly." Go ahead. Zhao Qing, with your face... Don't be heartbroken, hurry up, all the injured and sick will go down, and the Tai Hospital will send people to the house one by one to look at it, don't waste it here..."
After saying "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern" feebly, several courtiers were helped to withdraw, and the hall was a bit empty again, and finally it didn't look so much like a vegetable market.
"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has arrived at Yundu Temple safely." A guard entered the palace to report.
Emperor Yongguang nodded, Lin Yi turned his head and asked the person next to him: "Concubine Luo has a headache again?"
The colleague next to me replied: "Exactly, after leaving Mingguang Terrace, I went directly to Yundu Temple."
Concubine Luo has always suffered from the old root cause of headaches, and every time she has an attack, she is used to going to Yundu Temple to stay for a few days to recuperate.
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Xiao Fang not far away.
"What happened to those strange beasts?" Emperor Yongguang remembered the instigator of today's incident, and asked Lin Yi and Xiao Huan who returned to the palace last.
"The cage has been changed and locked up, and I ordered someone to transport it to the military field of the patrol camp outside the city for temporary placement." Xiao Huan stepped forward and replied.
There was a chatter in the hall, talking about those green ghost beasts, everyone felt lingering fear.
"Such a dangerous thing has caused major troubles, so it should not be kept in the Rare Garden." Someone said.
Another person said: "After all, it is a gift from the southern Xinjiang mission team, so we can't deal with it too casually."
Xiao Huan suggested unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, green ghost beasts are not easy to domesticate or raise. It is really not suitable to stay in Jinling. It is better to transport them to Jiangzhou. The climate in Jiangling must be more suitable."
Xiao Huan has always seldom showed up in the court, and occasionally appeared at the court meeting, and he hardly said anything. It was the first time he had taken the initiative to take care of things like this. Everyone was a little surprised, and Lin Yi was no exception. Just what the big guys do.
There is a ghost army camp in Jiangzhou, and it is not a problem to keep a few green ghosts in prison. Someone took the initiative to pick up this hot potato, and Emperor Yongguang was not dissatisfied. In order to tame the craftsmen, we will go together at that time."
"Those strange beasts were unscathed in the end?" A courtier happened to stand up and questioned, "Even if they are powerful, they are just a few beasts. If I remember correctly, the Marquis and the general are not He is invincible on the battlefield, and he is also one of the best sword masters in the Jianghu..."
This is tantamount to questioning Lin Yi and Xiao Huan's unwillingness to make a move, deliberately keeping those green ghosts alive.
This minister is usually in the group that doesn't deal with Lin Yi very much, and most of that group is King Jingyang Xiao Fang's party. Lin Yi knows that he is making use of the problem, and he probably wants to comfort them. Don't have a fancy name.
Xiao Huan said indifferently: "Is knowing martial arts equal to bloodthirsty?"
He glanced at the man lightly, and the man's heart trembled involuntarily, and he felt a little cold.
The prince has always defended Lin Yi, and he said earnestly after hearing the words: "Thanks to Lord Hou and the general who took control of the scene, otherwise few people in the palace could still stand. Since it can be done without killing the strange beast, why bother?"
"His Royal Highness is right."
Even if Xiao Huan didn't say anything, Lin Yi naturally wouldn't mention the witch beast. His tone was polite, and if he didn't seem to show a trace of impatience: "My lord is right, but after all, it's the luck of the embassy from other countries. For congratulatory gifts to Jinling, if the front foot is sent to Jinling City, the hind foot will be swallowed by this Marquis, wouldn't it be inappropriate?"
He half-jokingly said: "Lord Li, don't worry, I heard that you have a hobby of brewing medicinal wine. If the green ghost beast refuses to accept it, Benhou will be the first to come forward and ask the general for a pair of animal brains and bones." , just to make medicinal wine for you."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and joked: "Master Li was thinking about making wine, and was eager for more ingredients, but it turned out that the beast was alive and well, so he was disappointed."
Mr. Li's face turned red and then pale, so he could only smile stiffly: "Master Hou was joking, such a big event is nothing but a joke."
"Just now I heard that there were two masters present at the time, and they put in a lot of effort to subdue those ferocious beasts. Do you know who they are? The widows can also reward you." Emperor Yongguang asked.
"Speaking of this matter, I will accuse you first." Seeing him mentioning Shao Chongyou and Nie Yanli, Lin Yi stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Then one of them is named Shao Chongyou."
Most of the people in the hall hadn't reacted yet, and they didn't remember who Shao Chongyou was. They just felt familiar, as if they had heard it not long ago.
Only Xiao Fang's back froze for a moment, his mind roared, and he slowly turned his head to look at Lin Yi.Lin Yi didn't look sideways, pretending not to feel his forced and shocked eyes.
Emperor Yongguang didn't think about it for a while, thought for a moment, and frowned suddenly: "Shao Chongyou? The one who assassinated the abbot in Yundu Temple?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a low exclamation in the hall, and buzzing whispers to each other.In Yundu Temple, Shao Chongyou was arrested as an assassin, and Lin Yi came forward to save his life. There has been no news about this matter, and the thirteen divisions of Rouran invaded in the middle. After a battle, few people returned Remember this.
But Xiao Fang was deceived by the fake news made by Lin Yi, thinking that Shao Chongyou was dead, so there was no further disturbance in this matter.
Today, the assassin's repeat criminal suddenly appeared in broad daylight. Where did this come from?
In a small building in Jinling City, the fragrant wind blows inside and outside the embroidered screen, and the sound of silk and bamboo and singers singing from all around come in from time to time.
Nie Yanli leaned against the beauty, put the Yinchun sword aside casually, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Shao Chongyou: "Originally you were freer than me, but after today, it may not be so."
Shao Chongyou took the wine cup, touched him lightly, and drank it with his head up. The handsome and stern side face and the curvature of the jaw formed a faint outline in the hazy light.
"Everyone in the world has concerns." Shao Chongyou said, his voice was as sharp as the curvature of his face, "I just have less."
Nie Yanli closed her eyes slightly, leaned her head back on the soft couch, tapped her fingers to the beat of the song, and after a while, her eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes.
He became sluggish with great interest, retracted his figure, posed a half-turned scene, and raised his eyes slightly.
The eyes are full of spring flowers, and there is a three-point charm on the beautiful face, which is romantic.
Those pair of beautiful eyes met Shao Chongyou's gaze, with a slight smile, he raised his voice, with a dramatic accent, but it was tactful and charming: "I will sing half of the song for my brother today, and save the other half, and make up for it when we get together in the future." superior."
Shao Chong still looked at those pair of eyes, and smiled faintly, and saw the man who was soft and boneless when he was usually drunk, slowly raising his arms in the hazy light, babbling and lyrics seemed to be blurred, but he poured a pot of wine into his heart. The wine, mellow and fragrant, escapes.
Inside Fengtian Temple.
A courtier wondered: "Shouldn't this person be locked up in a prison?"
"I heard that this person is dead a while ago, why did he appear outside?"
"The case of the abbot of Yundu Temple was originally assigned by Lord Hou to be responsible. Why is the life and death of the criminal unknown and he was released from death row?"
……
Emperor Yongguang was also full of doubts, thinking that he had heard it wrong: "Marquis Lie Jun, this is not a joke, are you serious?"
Lin Yi bowed respectfully: "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. Among the people who helped today, Shao Chongyou—General Fengdu was also present, which can be proved."
Xiao Fangguang clenched his hands under his sleeves, and gave a wink to a minister at Yushitai next to him. The other party understood, and immediately stepped forward and said, "What is the meaning of this, Lord Hou? Lord Hou said on the spot that he would be responsible for this matter." , but the main culprit, the assassin, has not been executed for a long time, and now he is still showing off in the market, is Hou Ye taking the law as a joke?"
"It doesn't stop there, the people who should be in prison are released in such a silent manner, Hou Ye is acting too arrogantly, and he is simply lawless!"
Lin Yi wanted to wait until they had finished their accusations before speaking. Unexpectedly, the other party would go on and on and on, and Emperor Yongguang's face was not good-looking. A prison? Death row is not a place to come and go at will!"
Lin Yidao: "My lord's question is reasonable, but I also have difficulties. A person has only one life, and it is easy to kill him, but how dare I kill him."
"What? Then Shao Chongyou is still someone who can't be killed?" The other party snorted coldly.
Xiao Fang finally couldn't hold back, and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, Shao Chongyou has committed a heinous crime and heinous crimes. Since he is an assassin, he should be executed at that time, and he must not be let off again today!"
Lin Yi didn't look at other people, stepped forward, and gave a deep bow under the imperial steps: "Your Majesty, forgive me, my minister Lin Yi, I dare not wrong the blood of the royal family of Yan Kingdom, let alone judge lightly. It is about Guozuo, and I feel uneasy day and night , sleep and sleep uneasy, until all the investigation is clear, dare to report to His Majesty."
Lin Yi was quite calm and relaxed, and he didn't look like he was restless, but as soon as the words "royal blood" were uttered, the hall was instantly silent, and the sound of breathing could be heard, and then the pot exploded.
Xiao Fang couldn't believe it, but Lin Yi really said that. He only took half a step forward under extreme restraint, frowned and said angrily, "What nonsense is Hou Ye talking about!"
Emperor Yongguang almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears today, why did he frequently feel that he had heard it wrong, but judging from the reactions of the people below, it was definitely not a mistake.
"Marquis Lie Jun, what did you say?"
Lin Yi stood in the center of the hall, under the jade steps, with a tall and firm back, and his words resounded loudly: "I boldly report——Shao Chongyou was born in the Xun'an Shao family, originally from the blood of my Dayan royal family, and was raped by a traitor later." They planned to change their identities, stole the beams and posts, and went to Chencang secretly, causing the sons and daughters of the phoenix and the grandson to be exiled outside, and the big mistake has been made for many years. Now it is time to turn the troubled times and turn against the good, and please make a clear decision!"
Baiguan was shocked by his words, his eyes widened, everyone's faces were brilliant, and there was a moment of silence, and then the roof of Fengtian Hall was about to be lifted——
"absurd!"
"Stealing the beam and changing the pillar? Who is the one who stole, and who is the one who is replaced!"
"Master Hou, are you crazy!"
"Shut up!"
Emperor Yongguang leaned on the throne, his five fingers clutching the armrest turned white, took a few deep breaths, and slammed his palm on the imperial case, the inkstone was shaken enough to splash a few drops of ink: "Lin Yi, tell me clearly!"
The hall is full of storms, anger, doubts, ready to commit crimes, everyone's thoughts and speculations, treacherous waves almost seem to be Lin Yi's thin back is very thin, standing in the middle of the tall hall with carved beams and painted buildings, like a lone pine In the storm.
Originally, Lin Yi didn't intend to let Xiao Huan get involved in this matter, and he said before coming here that he just needs to stay out of it.But seeing Emperor Yongguang's fury, Xiao Huan couldn't help frowning slightly.
Xiao Huan stepped forward and stood beside Lin Yi, his tall figure invisibly blocked many unfriendly eyes on Lin Yi.
He said calmly: "Originally it has nothing to do with Lord Hou, why not call someone into the palace to confront him immediately."
