Jin Shaowen, Feng Lu, Cai You, and Chang Luo knelt under the hall, and it was Zhao Ji who sat at the head of the case. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Zhao Ji's gaze swept over the four of them, and there was a kind of indifference in his eyes, so indifferent that people couldn't help but tremble.
He didn't speak, but looked at them, his eyes half-squinted, as if he wanted to record their clothes, tear their flesh and skin, and look into the depths of their hearts.
On both sides of Zhao Ji were Zhao Zong and Yang Jian, Yang Jian had already figured out a little clue at the moment, staring at Cai You with a pair of eyes resentfully, sneering again and again.
Just a few days ago, he and Cai You have maintained a relationship that is not too bad, Cai You was in Bianjing back then, and he had a good relationship with Yang Jian. Holidays. There will always be a bow, occasionally gathering in the palace, and nodding with a smile, or taking advantage of His Majesty's rest to chat in the outer hall together.
But this kind of relationship is weak, and now, Yang Jian has only one thought, blood debt and blood repayment!
Chang Luo was the youngest of the four, and he had only met the emperor once in his life during the palace examination, who would have thought that the second time he would face the saint was at this time and on such an occasion. He fell on his stomach, trembling, his head buried under his shoulders, not daring to look up.
Feng Lu's face was like ashes, stubborn and stupid. Knowing that he will die" is like a puddle of mud at the moment.
Jin Shaowen just knelt and didn't speak, and his face was unpleasant.
Only Cai You raised his head and looked at Zhao Ji, with a faint expectation in his eyes, but what disappointed him was that the moment he met Zhao Ji's gaze, Cai You felt a strong killing intent.
Is this still an official family? Cai You suddenly felt that Zhao Ji had become stranger, as if he had changed someone, and behind this coldness, there was an indifference to him as a lamb to be slaughtered.
What's the matter, it's only been two years. Cai You's cognition seemed to be unable to react at once, he suddenly had fear, a strong fear, he trembled slightly and hoped that Zhao Ji would look at him again, and he could see His Majesty's familiar eyes, but from beginning to end, "Zhao Ji didn't look at him with kind eyes anymore."
Zhao Ji just looked at it coldly, "After half an hour, don't say that it is a kneeling person, even Zhao Zong, who is standing on the side, is also a little sour, and has to constantly change his standing posture."
This time. The first to be unable to hold back was Chang Luo, Chang Luo's face was miserable, and he kept kowtowing: "Weichen is ...... to death."
Zhao Jifeng smiled lightly, there seemed to be great irony in his smile, and said lazily: "Yourself" Why did you die...
"Wechen angered His Majesty, so ...... died.
Zhao Ji was silent, and Chang Luo didn't dare to speak anymore, burying his head lower.
After a while. Zhao Jicai said slowly: "Feng Lu, you came out of the palace, you come." βγ
Feng Lu raised his head cautiously, and when he saw Zhao Ji's indifferent gaze, the back of his neck was cold. Ai Ai said: "Say...... Shen Jianzao is a subordinate of the slave, "Now that he commits suicide in fear of crime, the slave cannot escape the blame...
At this time, his desire to survive became stronger and stronger, and he still insisted on the words suicide.
"Oh. . . Zhao Ji nodded, and couldn't help but smile again: "What crime is he afraid of?" Jin Shaowen. Here you come ...
Jin Shaowen replied loudly: "Rebellion...
"There's nothing wrong with that" is a major crime of rebellion, and suicide in fear of crime is also excusable, don't you say? β
Feng Lu seemed to see a glimmer of life. Hurriedly said:,"Yes,Yes"But this case has not yet been decided, he died like this, the slave is really ashamed of His Majesty, please condemn Your Majesty...
"Well, then I will condemn your sin... Like a cat playing with a mouse, Zhao Ji raised his eyelids and glanced at the trembling Zhou Feng Lu, "Thirty palms." βγ
A forbidden soldier with a tiger's back stepped forward with a handboard, and the other grabbed Feng Lu's jaw and turned Feng Lu's face towards Zhao Ji. Feng Lu's mouth was already a blur of flesh and blood, and he was begging for mercy.
Thirty boards down, Feng Lu was already unconscious in pain, blood splashed, and as soon as the forbidden army let go of his jaw, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
The emperor still wanted to ask, so he naturally refused to let him faint, so someone brought a bucket of cold water and splashed it on him, Feng Lu was clever, looked around dizzily, and knelt on the ground in shock.
Zhao Ji's gaze finally fell on Cai You, Cai You swallowed his saliva, and said expectantly: "Your Majesty." βγ
"They don't say, you come to be sincere," the minister didn't know. βγ
"You don't know? οΌγ Zhao Ji just sneered and stared at him deadly.
Cai You knelt on the ground pitifully, he would rather beat him with his own hands at this time, and he definitely couldn't afford Zhao Ji's indifferent gaze and elusive sneer. He said in a trembling voice, "Weichen really doesn't know. β
"What are you doing in Suzhou?γγ
"I ......, Weichen came to Suzhou just to play, and the minister died. should not abandon his responsibilities and come to Suzhou, but blame the ministers for being too playful and obsessed with ghosts for a while. Please punish Your Majesty severely...
"Is Suzhou fun?γγ
ββ¦β¦β
"Lift your head up ...
Cai You raised his head like a lost dog and met Zhao Ji's fierce gaze.
"I'm asking you, is Suzhou fun?"
"Ten thousand deaths... Cai You hung his head down again.
"It seems that you will not answer my words? οΌγ
"Good...... Playful...
Zhao Ji sneered: "Then I ask you, is Shen *'s death also the result of your play?" β
"Your Majesty's words are punishing, the minister doesn't dare to accept it, Wechen and Shen Ao have never met, what did Wechen do when he killed him?" , Zhao Ji sighed and said, "Ju'an ............,." Ju'an is Cai You's word, and Zhao Ji has always called him like this: "I treat you well, among the fortunate ministers in the world, I am the most tolerant of you...
Cai You looked ashamed: "Weichen has failed His Majesty's trust, and he left his post without permission, and he deserves death...
"Are you still quibbling? οΌγ Zhao Ji slammed the case, his face flushed, and his bright red eyes looked at Cai You deadly.
Cai You was startled, his whole body shuddered, but he knew in his heart that once he confessed his guilt, it would be a dead end, rather than this, it was better to bite the dereliction of duty and not let go, gritted his teeth, and said: "Weichen has no quibbles, it should be the minister's crime, the minister admits punishment, not the minister's, and he will never dare to admit it...
Zhao Ji sat down and looked at him in disgust: "You remember this sentence." οΌγ Then his eyes fell on Jin Shaowen: "Jin Shaowen" You are from a criminal name, what is the crime of framing the minister" Do you know? β
Jin Shaowen bowed and said: "Framed the minister, and the exile is three thousand miles." οΌγ
Zhao Ji shook his head, with a smile on his face: "No, it's all over the house, and the three clans are destroyed, this is what I said." βγ
Cai You and Feng Lu couldn't help but shiver again, their shoulders shrugged.
Jin Shaowen said: "Weichen understands...
"Well, here you go" what do you understand?γγ
Jin Shaowen said: "Weichen shouldn't listen to the words of JiΔn people" collided with Shen Jianzao. οΌγ
"Which jiΔn person? οΌγ
Jin Shaowen hung his head: "The minister didn't dare to say."
Zhao Ji glanced at Cai You, and asked Jin Shaowen again, "I came to ask you, did you kill Shen Ao?" οΌγ
"I don't dare...
"What does it mean to dare? οΌγ Zhao Ji pressed forward step by step.
"Shen Jianzao is deeply favored by His Majesty, and even if Weichen has the courage to do so, he doesn't dare to attack him."
"Hmphγγ Zhao Ji's patience had reached the limit, and he unconsciously touched the shocking wood in his hand, and roared: "What else do you dare not dare?" You don't say? Someone ......".
"Your Majesty... Jin Shaowen was not small, and he actually interrupted Zhao Ji at this time" and said: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, Weichen can ask someone to prove it." οΌγ
"Proof? Proof of what? οΌγ
"It proves that Weichen really didn't dare to murder Shen Jianzao. οΌγ
"Where are the witnesses?γγ
"Please wait for your majesty, the witnesses will be there soon. οΌγ
"Okay, I'll wait!".
Zhao Ji leaned back in the back chair, already a little irritable, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, before closing his eyes and taking a nap.
It was at this time that someone came in and said, "Your Majesty." One person asked to see him, claiming to be a witness to Lord Kim. To testify for Lord Kim...
"Biography". Zhao Ji opened his eyes, this is his last bottom line. If he can't ask again," he didn't mind pushing them all out and beheading them all at once.
A person crossed the threshold and came in, Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, and saw a familiar figure, a familiar face, and that familiar smile, he was stunned for a while, "My brain is buzzing." Hand caress the table. Incredible constant blinking.
"Wow" there are ghostsγγ Zhao Zong screamed, and the whole person immediately bounced away.
"Ahem. It's embarrassing to come. In broad daylight, he was regarded as a ghost, which is really unreasonable, and then bowed down in the direction of Zhao Ji" said loudly: "Weichen Shen Ao has seen Your Majesty."
Zhao Ji: "......"
Not only Zhao Ji, everyone was stunned, Yang Jian's jaw was about to fall, a pair of eyes looked Shen Ao up and down, and then rubbed his eyes again, and couldn't help but say, "Are the miscellaneous families dreaming?γγ
When Cai You and Feng Lu saw Shen Ao, they were even more shocked, and their eyes were about to protrude.
Shen Ao stood up, shaking a fan in his hand, thinking that he had a good past few days, and said smugly: "What are you looking at me like this?" Could it be that Shen is a little more handsome? οΌγ
Zhao Ji tried to call a sentence: "Shen Ao......", "The minister is here... Shen Ao reacted immediately, full of anger.
A hint of ecstasy flashed in Zhao Ji's eyes: "You are not dead."
Shen Ao smiled bitterly: "It is said that good people don't pay for their lives, and disasters live for thousands of years, but although Weichen is a good person, his life is quite long, how can he die easily?" , this tone of setting up a memorial arch for himself is not Shen Ao's ghost.
Zhao Ji didn't know what expression to use to face this guy, and he cried with joy? He couldn't cry. Laughing maniacally? This guy is so annoying, Zhao Ji can't laugh.
Zhao Ji took a deep breath, and in front of everyone, he shook his spirits and put on a bearing of dominating the world. "Where have you been these days?" οΌγ
Shen Ao said: "Wechen received His Majesty's will, rushed to Suzhou non-stop, the so-called food of the king, loyal to the king, Your Majesty wants me to investigate the corruption of the bureau, how can Wechen slack off" Don't say that it is the sword mountain and the sea of fire, it is the hell of Yama, Weichen gritted his teeth, and he also had to break through, and Weichen's important town was brave. Bold and careful, he was well-known in the imperial court. So of course I'm investigating the case these days, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of fame? β
