Song of Burying Snow

The date of Huan Zhan's first trial was set to be three days after the collapse of Jitiantai, that is, the day Huan Yu asked Huan Xuezhu to make an appointment with Qu Dao and Qian Yanglian. What a surprise.

Three days passed quickly, and as soon as the time came, someone came to mention Huan Zhan for the first interrogation. At the same time, Qu Dao and Qian Yanglian, two veteran officials, did not go to the early court according to Huan Yu's words. He took people to the house of Hu Jing, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, and arrived outside the gate of Hu Jing's mansion. , Just ran into two old ministers.

"I don't know the third prince, what is the arrangement for the old minister to wait for the two to come?" Qu Dao saw Huan Yu, cupped his hands, and leaned slightly.

"My imperial sister should have already told the two adults." Huan Yu said.

"I said it, but I didn't say it too carefully. I also asked the third prince to explain the confusion. Her Royal Highness only said that the two of us should come here and go to Mr. Hu's mansion to find evidence to prove the eldest prince's innocence, but he didn't say what to do." Look for it." Qian Yanglian also bowed like Qu Dao.

"That's it!" Huan Yu took a step forward, looked at the plaque on Hu Jing's mansion, and said with a wicked smile, "I stole his house, maybe we can find it."

"Ah, this..." Qian Yanglian was obviously startled by Huan Yu's words.

"Third prince, although we are veteran ministers in the court, we didn't try our best to copy the homes of other ministers without authorization. Even if you are a prince, I'm afraid..." Qu Dao is obviously much calmer than Qian Yanglian, after all, he has experienced a lot of storms Much more, but I also feel that Huan Yu's suggestion is very inappropriate.

"Can the two adults watch this?" Huan Yu took out the gold medal from his pocket and showed it to the two adults.

"This...Third Prince, why do you have this gold medal?" Just now Qu Dao was calm, but now he was really surprised.

"Of course it was given by my father and emperor." Huan Yu smiled, and walked towards Hu Jing's house with the gold medal. "Let's go, Brother Dahuang will be interrogated today, there is no delay."

In the clan mansion, clan clan Ling Huan Zhen is interrogating Huan Zhan. This Huan Zhen has killed the enemy on the battlefield in the early years. He is very majestic and the questions are very detailed. However, Huan Zhan is a little afraid of him. Uncle, in addition to the fact that the food poisoning has not fully recovered from the previous few days, and his body is still a little weak, he was frightened by Huan Zhen's gavel and almost fell to the ground. After finally recovering a little bit, Huan Zhen asked him a question, but it was His head was blank, and the only thought left was that he was wronged, so he didn't find out why in the end, but he didn't defend himself, but someone on the other side added fuel to the fire. This situation can be said to be against him. Very unfavorable.

After Huan Zhen interrogated Huan Zhan, what the master recorded was only one sentence. The eldest prince Huan Zhan neither confessed nor defended himself. Zang.

When the book was handed over to the court, the morning court had not returned, and it was almost as if he was waiting for this book to be handed over by Huan Zhen. Huan Zang took a look at the book, the expression in his eyes changed a few times, and finally calmed down , Return the book to Huan Zhen for future use, and then glance at the ministers. "Dear dear ones, what do you think of the eldest prince Huan Zhan's embezzlement of donations from Tiantai?"

After Huan Zang asked, the people below were completely silent. Even if he really wanted Huan Zhan to die, he would not be so stupid as to show up at this moment. At this juncture, things are still undecided, and any sentence may be Get into trouble.

"Hu Aiqing? The eldest prince's crime, your testimony played a key role, so you have nothing to say?" Huan Zang waited for a long time, but no one came out, so he called Hu Jing's name.

"I dare not, I just told the truth about what I saw." Hu Jing came out and knelt down, a little nervous about being called out suddenly.

"Aiqing is not afraid of the prince, and dares to tell the truth, which is a good thing, but now the eldest prince neither confesses nor defends, what should be done at this time, do you have any suggestions?" Huan Zang said.

"Would you like to be punished?" As soon as Huan Zang finished speaking, Hu Jing blurted out, but he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. He quickly looked at Huan Zang's expression, and saw that Huan Zang's face turned black, knowing that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly Knocking his head to the ground: "My minister is talking nonsense, the emperor forgives me."

"You are indeed talking nonsense, you are not only talking nonsense, you are also daring to frame the prince." Just as Hu Jing finished kowtowing, he heard a very old but angry shout from outside the hall .

"Why did Qu Aiqing say that?" Qu Dao, Qian Yanglian and Huan Yu walked into the hall, Huan Zang naturally saw everything, seeing Qu Dao already shaking with anger, he wished he could deal with Huan Yu on the spot Respect, fortunately Huan Yu and Qian Yanglian are pulling.

"Reporting to the emperor, the reason why the old minister is so angry is really...the old minister doesn't say much, you can take a look." Huan Zang spoke, but Qu Dao calmed down a lot. The three of them took a step sideways together, just Seeing two servant-like people carrying a big box in, they reached the center of the hall and opened the lid of the big box, suddenly a gust of jewels burst out, and it turned out to be full of gold and silver jewels.

"What's the meaning of this? Qu Aiqing?" Huan Zang frowned and looked at the box of gold, silver and jewelry. He didn't believe that it belonged to Qu Dao or Qian Yanglian, let alone Huan Yu.

"Your Majesty, this is something from the mansion of Hu Jing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry." Qu Dao knelt down.

"Master Prime Minister, don't talk nonsense, how could the things from the lower official's mansion come into your hands." Hu Jing's palms were already sweating, he knew best whether those things belonged to him, and he was also trying to be strong at this time.

"Lord Hu, do these things belong to you? Don't you still recognize them? They were all found from your house. You should tell your father, how can you be a person with a salary of only a few hundred taels a year?" Anyone with this box of treasure?" Huan Yu stepped forward, with a smile on his face, and said to Hu Jing.

"Third prince? Even if you don't like the official, don't make up nonsense to frame this official. How do you have the right to search my house?" Hu Jing is still holding on.

"I don't know if I have the right, but I think I should have it." Huan Yu took out the gold medal, showed it in full view, and then knelt down and said to Huan Zang: "Father, my son used the gold medal without authorization." Gold Medal went to steal Hu Jing's house, it was a helpless act, I can't see Brother Da Huang being framed by such villains, please forgive me."

"You... you... stole my house..." Hu Jing couldn't utter a word, and he collapsed to the ground completely frightened. There was only one thought in his mind, and it was all over this time.

"You keep saying that Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry has close contact with Brother Dahuang, and you are suspected of corrupting the law, but the box of jewels found in your house is much more than that in Shangshu's house." Huan Yuce turned his head and looked at Hu respectfully.

"Since I gave this gold medal to Yu'er, it is for Yu'er's use. What is Yu'er's fault? You are also protecting your elder brother from this innocent disaster. I am very pleased that you are so affectionate." Huan Zang leaned on the dragon chair, staring at Hu Jing who was lying on the ground with piercing eyes. Such direct evidence cannot directly prove that Hu Jing was framing Huan Zhan. As far as being ambiguous and not a foregone conclusion, Hu Jing's testimony played a key role, so naturally it is not stable now. "Hu Jing, what else do you have to say?"

"The emperor spares my life, my majesty spares my life." Now it is useless to argue, Hu Jing can only keep kowtow, begging Huan Zang to spare his life.

"Excuse me?" Huan Zang narrowed his eyes. "You have been greedy for so much money, and Zhan'er's crimes are mostly caused by you. Now you are talking about it. What you said before is still the truth?"

"Xiaguan... Xiaguan..." Hu Jing stuck his tongue out, couldn't say a word for a long time, looked left and right, but no one looked at him, and looked at Huan Qing for the last time, gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, Stretching out his hand, he pointed at Huan Qing: "Those were all said by the second prince, who was obsessed with wealth and feared the majesty of the second prince, so he said those things that framed the first prince, and the death of the minister of the Ministry of Industry was also due to the death of the second prince." He took his family as a threat and asked him to kill himself before letting his family go."

"You're talking nonsense, when did I ask you to say those who framed my elder brother and forced the minister of the Ministry of Industry to die?" Just now when there was such a commotion in the main hall, Huan Qing's hands were already clenched into fists, sweating Fortunately, he was born with a gloomy temperament and could hold his breath, so it didn't show on his face.

"Please be safe, Qinger." Huan Zang gave Huan Qing a meaningful look, and then looked back at Hu Jing. "You have framed the first prince, and now you want to frame the second prince. You really feel that you have lived too long. Come, someone, put Hu Jing in the sky prison, and be tried by the minister of Dali Temple. You must find out the truth of the matter."

After Huan Zang finished speaking, several guards came and took Hu Jing down, whose legs were already limp, leaving only Huan Zang, a group of ministers, and the box of jewels in the hall.

"Father..." Huan Qing stepped forward, wanting to speak.

"Qing'er, let's go back first, we just wait until we find out." Huan Zang interrupted Huan Qing's next words with a wave of his hand, and directly said "retire" to Manchu civil and military officials, and left the hall on his own.

Huan Zang left, while Huan Qing was still standing there, without moving for a long time, only his teeth were chattering, and when he finally regained his composure and turned around to leave the hall, he saw Huan Yu still standing aside, his eyes full of tears. He threw it hatefully: "Third Emperor Brother, you are fine!"

"Brother Erhuang's ridiculous praise!" Huan Yu remained calm as if he hadn't seen the hatred in Huan Qing's eyes.

"In the past, I really underestimated you. My opponent was never Brother Da Huang, but you." Huan Qing gritted her teeth.

"Second Brother, let's go back earlier." After Huan Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left the hall, ignoring Huan Qing, leaving Huan Qing alone behind him, gritting his teeth and looking at Huan Yu's back.
