Lei Yue Longmen

As he spoke, he walked forward on his knees and picked up the official documents around the table.One book after another was piled up on the desk, but my own was gone. I tilted my head under the desk and looked around, "Huh? Where are my official documents?"

"Is this yours?"

Li Jingchen got a green leather official document and asked quietly.Cen Zhu straightened up, his scalp was slightly numb, and he wanted to grab it, but she blocked him, but he didn't get it.

"Do what?"

"Well, I think everything that needs to be said has already been said, so I don't need to read this official document."

Li Jingchen raised his eyebrows, "It's all handed in, wouldn't it be a pity not to see it?"

After speaking, he opened the official document and read it solemnly.Cen Zhu's face flushed red, wishing he could get under the case.

This was an "apology" she had written in advance, and she had hoped to show it to Li Jingchen after she had left, but now she read it face to face like this, she was so ashamed to death.

"Mr. Li Junjian, I have rebellious intentions in the past, and I regret it after pursuing it. I hate the crime of weeping. I respectfully ask for punishment..."

Youyou said: "So, you want me to whip you?"

"What, what, I just mean it, you really mean it!" Cen Zhu argued strongly.

Li Jingchen raised the corners of his mouth, not as knowledgeable as the braised prawns on the other side, and continued to read:

"However, my sin is so great that even a white crown and yak tassels, a coil of water and a sword can't offset it..." He clicked his tongue, "...this crime is indeed not light!"

Cen Zhu was speechless, it was the first time that he felt that this girl also had a mischievous side, and he teased her endlessly.

She stubbornly said: "I said so much, all because of the last sentence 'Shang Xi forgive it. What, do you agree or not?" After she finished speaking, she turned her face away, raised her small pointed chin, and looked like she wanted to kill and listen. The appearance of respect.

Li Jingchen pursed his lips and "hummed", "Since you know your mistakes and can correct them, and your attitude is so sincere, I will reluctantly approve it."

After finishing speaking, he picked up a pen, wrote the word "forgiveness" at the end, and then showed it to Cen Zhuo, "Look, it's been approved." Cen Zhuo brows happily, and hurriedly stretched out his hands, just about to take it back.She suddenly stopped, closed the official document, turned around and opened a small box next to the important document, and put the official document in. Cen Zhu's eyes widened when he saw it: "Hey, shouldn't you return it to me after you have approved it?" ?"

"You write well and understand righteousness. I keep it and want to read it often, can't you?"

Cen Zhu choked for a moment, "You...follow me again."

Li Jingchen ignored him, and locked the small box on his own, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was in a good mood.

Cen Zhu groaned in his heart, but for some reason he was very happy again.Then he said solemnly again: "Although I apologized to you, it doesn't mean that I was wrong about that matter."

Li Jingchen raised his eyes and glanced at her faintly, and he knew that she was still "undead".

"Hmph! Kill people to pay for their lives, and debts to pay back money. Those vicious soldiers have committed crimes, and they deserve to die!"

"And, do you know what this means?" Cen Zhu slapped the table and said, "Twenty or ten years ago, the imperial court had clearly prohibited the killing of good men and false meritorious deeds, but twenty or ten years later, this kind of evil behavior is still rampant in the world, which means It means that the blood of the censors who sacrificed for this year was all in vain! Those people in northern Xinjiang have been carrying out the imperial government's decree! Twenty to ten years, a full 20 years, how many innocent people should have died in their hands , said that Gu Rentu is a demon, huh, I think they are the real demons who kill people without blinking an eye! Gu Rentu never reached the Wantu in his life, he? Tu Yuanshan has already reached it, he should be called 'Thousands of people' is right! Such a court villain is still rampant in the world, what kind of world do you think this is?!"

Seeing her righteous indignation, Li Jingchen sighed helplessly, and said frankly: "This is the court's fault."

"When the royal family declined due to civil strife, the four generals Tu, Cheng, Zhou, and Wen raised troops to support Emperor Qingzong and pacify the world. Qingzong enfeoffed them in the four borders and allowed them to guard for generations. This is equivalent to conferring four different surnames. The king came out, and it was four princes and kings with heavy troops in their hands. It is expected that today's situation. In fact, the court has been trying to weaken the military power of the Quartet, but this matter cannot be rushed. Back then your father wanted to pass the This incident has shaken the foundation of the Tu family, and the other three families are all terrified, and if the imperial court shows any signs of favoring your father, I am afraid that not ten thousand people will be slaughtered, but tens of thousands of people will be slaughtered."

"But now, when the other three families have restrained themselves and Tu Yuanshan still hasn't restrained, that's another matter. The best way to defeat a powerful force is to split it from within. Do you understand?"

"I... don't understand." Cen Zhu admitted that what she said made sense, but he just wasn't convinced.Although my father chose the wrong time to fight against the Tu family back then, it caused the Sijiang family to twist into a single rope, which turned against him.But without the struggle of their generation, it is still unclear what the situation would be like today!

"Then do you trust me?" Li Jingzhu held her hand patiently, "As long as I'm here, this matter will definitely not be left alone."

Cen Zhu's stubborn heart instantly turned into a puddle of water.

The Queen Mother did what she said.

In the early morning of the next day, the common people in a radius of ten miles were notified that the Crown Princess would execute the soldiers who slaughtered innocent villagers in Laojia Village in front of the soldiers of the armed forces, and avenge the unjust deaths of the people of Laojia Village.The people all applauded and cheered, and came to watch the execution one after another.

After a night of investigation, trial, and the identification of the villagers who survived, a total of more than 30 soldiers who participated in the atrocities were found out, all of whom belonged to a certain battalion of the Northern Xinjiang Army.The motive of the crime was that something happened while escorting the tax bank. One of the generals was afraid of being punished and was eager to make a contribution. However, when suppressing the bandits, his team was placed at the end. ? They can't get any money at all, so they think it's better to kill some civilians to make up for it.

In fact, Li Jingchen knew that there must be more than these 30 officers and soldiers who killed good and false meritorious service, but in order not to affect the morale of the army, she could only find out these [-] people and behead them in front of the whole army.

During the beheading, Cen Zhu went to see the young heads, one by one, rolled to the ground after the executioner picked up the knife, and the surrounding villagers applauded loudly.

But she felt unspeakably depressed and sad. Can the death of one group of people really be compensated with the blood of another group of people?Thinking of this, she felt exhausted and wanted to rush back to the tent in a dizzy state.

On the way, a soldier quickly ran to the front of the prison beheading platform, panting and said, "Qi... Your Highness, Gu Rentu, Gu Rentu is dead!"

Li Jingchen stood up from the execution platform, "How did you die?"

"I don't know, the doctor said, it seems that he swallowed something and choked to death."

Cen Zhu's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was wrong.She had a hunch that the thing that choked her to death was probably the sapphire pendant that Gu Qing asked her to hand over last night.He quickly ran back to the camp tent and asked Gu Qing to put away the other half of the jade pendant, so that he must not show it to others.Then he came to the big tent with everyone, and saw the bloody sapphire pendant that the military doctor cut out in his esophagus.Cen Zhu's heart couldn't help pounding.

According to the military doctor's examination, Gu Rentu had been dead for two hours, and the time of death was in the middle of the night.But the jade pendant was not the first cause of death. After death, the body turned black and blue. It looked like it was suffocated, but it was actually caused by severe poisoning.Cen Zhu calmed down again, poisoned?

"What poison?"

"According to my deduction, Gu Rentu's poison should be a strange poison from the Western Regions called Datura. It comes from the seeds of a red Datura flower, which has been tempered many times and is extremely poisonous. .Although it will not kill you immediately, and there is not much pain, but there is no cure for taking it."

"Moreover, this poison has a strange feature. Before death, it will produce the illusion of falling into the underworld, and the body will enter a state of extreme hunger. It will swallow everything that can be swallowed, and some people will even chew it. Therefore, it is also called 'Hunger Underworld'. This can also explain why he swallowed jade after taking poison."

"Where does this poison | medicine come from?"

"I don't know about this minister. However, the fact that I found the fifteen Buddhist beads that he swallowed in his stomach is also a clear proof."

Li Jingchen inspected the sapphire pendant, and noticed that someone in the tent walked out quickly, it was Xiaozhuang next to Cen Zhu, and the two seemed to have whispered something.Hold the question for now.

Li Jingchen asked other military doctors to test whether the jade pendant itself was poisonous, and the answer was unanimously no, because it was contaminated with the poison in the blood.Moreover, some military doctors pointed out that because the sapphire pendant blocked the esophagus, the poisonous blood that should have flowed out of the mouth was blocked. Explain why the soldiers did not find out that Gu Rentu was dead earlier.Since he was captured, he has been silent, sitting upright cross-legged, and sometimes he does not move for a whole day, which makes the soldiers have the impression that he is a living dead. If someone hadn't noticed him earlier? His head drooped strangely , Maybe he still thinks that he is meditating with his eyes closed.

A staff member of the East Palace couldn't help but sigh privately, "It's a pity, I thought that by catching Gu Rentu, I would be able to expose the evidence of Pei Yan's conspiracy with the traitors, and wipe out the Dun Palace, but now there is nothing! "

"Don't think about it, eight out of ten people who poisoned you are from the Dun Palace. They have long wanted to kill people to silence them. As long as Gu Rentu is killed, they will be at ease."

At this time, Yun Zhong came to report: "Your Highness, all the soldiers who were in charge of guarding Gu Rentu last night have all been brought here."

Li Jingchen: "Bring them in."

A dozen soldiers were escorted into the big tent, and they knelt down in fear to cry for grievances. Li Jingchen focused on questioning the handyman who was in charge of meals, and he said tremblingly: "Gu Rentu's meals are under the special care of His Highness, and every time he takes care of them. You have to try the poison before letting him eat it, Xiaomin, how can Xiaomin have the guts to poison you?"

"Then who else had contact with criminals last night?"

At this time, someone among the soldiers pointed out: "Last night, Cen Jianjun came to inspect the criminals, and talked with the criminals for a long time."

Cen Zhu knew that it was time to come, so he had already made up his speech, and calmly said: "His Royal Highness, last night, I did have contact with criminals. However, it was just a routine matter. As a prisoner ordered by the Holy One Army, have the right to know the truth."

"The truth? What truth? Could it be that Supervisor Cen suspected that His Highness did not take good care of the criminals?"

"I didn't say that."

But other people have already recognized this, and the staff of the East Palace protested, "Since joining the army, Supervisor Cen has found excuses to oppose His Highness everywhere. Now that you have privately contacted the important criminal, what are you worried about?"

At this time, a member of the staff of the Eastern Palace said quietly: "It's a coincidence that I just passed by Gu Rentu's camp that night, and heard a sound of 'good for yourself' coming from inside, and there was a hard rattling sound. Lord Cen walked out of the tent."

These few sentences are full of thorns, which can be described as killing without blood.The first sentence "good for oneself" alludes to Cen Zhu's personal relationship with Gu Rentu, and the second sentence "the sound of Ge Leng" coincides with the sound of sapphire falling to the ground, referring to her and Gu Rentu's personal relationship.This person didn't say anything at first, but he waited for the other soldiers to confess before he said that this was a game of praying mantis catching cicada and oriole behind!

Sure enough, after thinking about it for a while, everyone immediately imagined a picture of her secretly communicating with Gu Rentu, and the crowd immediately became excited.

"Master Cen doesn't know that Gu Rentu is a felon of the imperial court, so he gave it to him in private? What is the meaning of the jade pendant? Could it be that there is some private transaction with Gu Rentu?"

Just as Cen Zhu was about to refute, the other person said maliciously: "I remember that Mr. Cen seemed to have 'deep into the enemy's interior'. Maybe he has friendship with Gu Rentu in private, maybe he came here to say goodbye!"

Cen Zhu heard that he was mocking himself for being captured, so he snorted disdainfully, "May I ask what your lord's name is? What is your official position and what rank is it?"

"Your Majesty, Cao Yunxing, although he is not younger than Lord Cen and occupies a high position, he is also a fifth-rank official official appointed by the imperial court, Wailang!"

"Oh, disrespect! Disrespect!" Cen Zhu stared at him amusedly and said, "According to this Master Cao, 'deep into the enemy's interior' means having friendship with Gu Rentu. Isn't that the concubine Tu who would rather die than surrender and die for his country with honor?" Do you have a deep friendship with Gu Rentu?"

The other party was immediately speechless.Immediately someone took the case and said: "Bastard, what are you, dare to be compared with Tu Ma!"

Cen Zhu turned his head and saw that it was a certain general from the remnants of northern Xinjiang, a real loyal dog of the Tu family.With a light snort, "I am the supervisor ordered by the emperor, so what are you?!"

The man was so angry that he wanted to draw his knife on the spot.Cen Zhu looked at him coldly: "What? Do you still want to kill this official in front of His Highness? Well, that's fine. Just kill me, but I want to see if this Yu Ruigangji's surname is Li. Still surnamed Tu!"

"Lord Cen, be careful!" Li Jingchen seemed to be angry in his words, but in fact, he helped her suppress a wave of attacks.

The general's subordinates quickly stopped him to prevent him from saying anything "crazy and rebellious".If it gets to the emperor's ears and they are to be held accountable, even Lord Hou will not be able to protect them? After all, this country is still surnamed Li!

Cen Zhu's appearance of "fighting against others" really angered many people.Then Cao Yunxing wanted to say something, but this time Cen Zhu didn't let him speak, and said sharply, "Shut up! You are a rebellious and rebellious villain who has no king. I am ordered to supervise the army. How can I allow you to wait for the villain?" People are here to slander at will! Get out of here!"

"you!"

"What are you, you dare not call the superior official a subordinate official, but dare to call you directly to this official, you are no longer an official! When I report to the sage, you will definitely be punished for disrespect!"

Cen Zhu held a high position at a young age, and many people in the court were dissatisfied. In addition, her appearance was young and feminine, even younger than her actual age. Many people who were older than her unconsciously regarded her as a junior.There are a lot of veterans in the court, and those who are disrespectful to her will probably pass it by forbearance. Whoever told her that she is young and does not have a prominent family background deserves to be pissed off.Over time, many people took her as a soft persimmon.But she is no longer a fledgling number one scholar, but a third-rank official who is difficult for many people to match in a lifetime.Regardless of whether he accepts it or not, one level of official rank can crush people to death, let alone not just one level.
