Chapter 145 What's the Hidden Secret?

The atmosphere cooled down in an instant, Song Baoling looked down at her toes, knowing that Jun Yelan was most likely trying to use her for something, so she must not agree.

Also, Jin Wanlin also mentioned the Crown Prince of Jin Kingdom yesterday, and the target person was supposed to be this prince, so she couldn't have anything to do with it.

"Miss Song, you also know that receiving guests from all over the world is a major event. If the Holy Majesty entrusts you with this responsibility, that means you know you have the ability."

I saw Jun Tianlin staring at Song Baoling sharply. After a pause, he continued: "You refuse so firmly, is there something hidden in it?"

Song Baoling's face didn't change when he heard the words, "The lord misunderstood, the little girl just lacks self-awareness, and she is worried that she will miss the important event of the Holy Majesty, there is no hidden secret."

"Do you really think so?" Jun Tianlin asked back, and before Song Baoling could answer, he pretended to suddenly realize: "By the way, this king suddenly remembered that Xuan Ping Hou was reported twice for collaborating with the enemy and treason. related."

"Now that Ms. Song refuses to receive the envoys from Sifang, is it because she is worried that her relationship with Jin Guo will put your father in an embarrassing situation?"

Song Baoling's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Jun Tianlin to threaten her with the fact that his father was framed as collaborating with the enemy. Those two framed charges were dismissed hastily. Now that the old matter is brought up again, I'm afraid...

Furthermore, Jun Yelan seemed to approve of Jun Tianlin's actions, and it is likely that they had already discussed and used this matter to blackmail themselves.

"The little girl's father has been magnanimous all his life. He was framed and accused of collaborating with the enemy and has been investigated by the Holy One. Why does the prince have to bring up the old story again."

After finishing speaking, Song Baoling bowed deeply to Jun Yelan: "My lord, my daughter is willing to be responsible for receiving envoys from various countries. Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this opportunity."

Jun Yelan's face softened when he saw this, and then he opened his thin lips lightly: "I have high hopes for you, you must make sure this matter is done."

"Yes, the little girl will live up to expectations."

After the matter was settled, Jun Yelan had no reason to keep Song Baoling, so he asked her to go back and stay with Song Baochai.

I thought it would be calm for a few days after this incident, but unexpectedly another major event happened next, leaving Song Baoling with no time to catch his breath.

Morning the next day—

"My lord, I have something to play."

A man in official robes came to the front of the hall, Jun Tingsheng took a glance and recognized that it was Censor Leng Yuanyu, who was Concubine Leng's cousin, good at calculating, and many people in the court were with him.

"I want to join Vice General Wen Jing today. He abused lynching in the army, causing panic among the soldiers in the army, and it is very likely that he was instructed by the son of Prince Chengyang."

Jun Tingsheng frowned when he heard the words, the Wen Jing that Leng Yuanyu said was Song Baichuan's subordinate before, and then followed him. Although this person has a stubborn personality, he is not a person who discriminates right from wrong and is ruthless.

"Is what you said true?"

"My lord, if this matter hadn't been groundless, I wouldn't have mentioned it to the Holy Majesty today."

Seeing this, Jun Tianlin turned his head to look at Jun Tingsheng, and angrily said: "Life in the military camp is hard, and the soldiers have to train every day, not to mention risking their lives to go to the battlefield."

"As a general, he is not only inconsiderate of his subordinates, but even abused lynching. This move is against the style of a general, and it will also chill the hearts of the soldiers. Once they go to the battlefield, how can they win?!"

All the courtiers in the main hall were talking about it, and Jun Tingsheng went to the front of the hall to salute, "My lord, I don't know that what happened in the army was my negligence of duty, but Vice General Wen Jing, I think it is impossible for him to do this."

When Leng Yuanyu heard this, he immediately sneered: "The deputy general is your subordinate, so you will naturally speak for him, maybe... you still acquiesce in his abusive lynching."

"No matter what, since something like this happened in the army, you, as a general, can't get away with it."

Jun Tianlin also held on to this matter, and joined hands with Leng Yuanyan to question in public: "Since he is your subordinate, how do you plan to deal with this person?"

Jun Tingsheng saw the two people's intentions, and did not answer them with a cold face, but bowed to Jun Yelan on the high platform: "My lord, there is currently no evidence to prove that Wen Jing abused lynching, and there are many doubts about this matter."

"I hope that the Holy Majesty will be merciful and let the minister thoroughly investigate this matter. The minister promises to give the Holy Majesty and the soldiers an explanation."

After being silent for a moment, Jun Yelan directly ordered: "Leng Yuanyu, I order you to thoroughly investigate this matter, as for you..."

Speaking of this, he turned his eyes away and looked at Jun Tingsheng, "Let the matter be investigated by Leng Yuanyu, and I promise you to investigate together. If there is any malpractice for personal gain during the period, I will definitely punish you."

Jun Tingsheng clenched his fists, and bowed his head in resignation: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the imperial court, civil and military officials left the palace and returned to the palace, Jun Tingsheng was stopped by Leng Yuanyu at the gate of the palace.

"Just now in the palace, I was just talking about the matter, son, please don't hate me because of this."

"Leng Yushi's words are serious, Wen Jing is my subordinate, I will naturally not stand idly by in this matter, if he really abuses lynching, I will act according to the law, but I will not allow him to be framed."

After finishing speaking, Jun Tingsheng turned and left. He had to go to the barracks first to understand the situation.

"The son is here, Lord Hou has been waiting for a long time."

As soon as Pei Qi saw Jun Tingsheng, he immediately stepped forward, "Master Hou knows about the court affairs, and is waiting for you to discuss countermeasures together."

Jun Tingsheng was a little surprised when he heard this, because this matter had nothing to do with Song Baichuan, and given how much he hated himself, he probably wouldn't take the initiative to help.

The two came to the front of the house while talking, Pei Qi stopped at the door, "Your Majesty, go in, your subordinates are here to guard."

When Jun Tingsheng entered the room and saw Song Baichuan, he was about to thank him, but was stopped by the other party's hand: "No need to say more, I know everything, sit down."

The two sat opposite each other at the table, and Song Baichuan continued: "Before you came, I briefly understood that Wen Jing has been arrested now, and you may not be able to see him for the time being."

"In addition, I suspect that this move was deliberately targeted at you by the Leng family. Of course, it is not ruled out that someone is obstructing it."

Jun Tingsheng nodded in agreement, and after thinking for a while, asked: "Who is the person who was lynched?"

"That man is just an ordinary soldier in the army. His name is Sun Qiang. I asked Pei Qi to inquire about it. It seems that the injury is not serious and he may be disabled."

"Did it say that Wen Jing ordered it?"

"Sun Qiang himself said so, and several soldiers have seen it, but they are all vague and unclear about the antecedents."

Song Baichuan sighed solemnly, "The key to this matter is Sun Qiang. As long as he insists that Wen Jing abused the lynching or was ordered by you, then your charges will be confirmed."

"Now the Holy Majesty has handed over this matter to Leng Yuanyu for investigation. You must act quickly, otherwise, once the evidence is destroyed by him, you will not be able to prove your innocence."

Jun Tingsheng understood what he meant, so he stood up and saluted without further delay: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your guidance. I'll go find Sun Qiang right now."

What is going on, you can only know when you meet the person involved, but it is difficult to draw a conclusion whether this matter was done by Leng Yuanyu alone or in collaboration with others.
