Crowned with Pearls

  Chapter 703 One Hundred Two Solved

The remnants of the previous dynasty have been hidden in the deep palace for many years, concealed from the emperor and empress, died of the crown prince and concubine, married in a glorious way, and colluded with powerful officials to call the wind and rain in the court. , lost confidence in the court.

   Today, the northern part of the imperial court is disturbed by wattles, the coast is invaded by Japanese pirates, and there are local rebellions in Yunnan.

  There are some truths that only need to be known by a few people.

Xiao Heng was so considerate and sensible that Emperor Yuanfeng felt a little uneasy, he took a deep breath, and when he walked to Xiao Heng, he lightly patted Xiao Heng on the shoulder, and after a moment he said softly: "Ah Heng, if your father had half your courage back then."

   But it is meaningless to say these now, so Emperor Yuanfeng changed his words: "Don't worry, I will not let you suffer any more grievances."

   Xiao Heng was silent for a long time without answering.

   Emperor Yuanfeng didn't blame him, he sighed and walked out the door. Eunuch Xia was already waiting, and he bent down and reported to Emperor Yuanfeng softly: "It's resolved, he said some outrageous things."

"I don't want to listen anymore." Emperor Yuanfeng waved his hand. He didn't have to think about it and knew that he was talking ill of the prince and Xiao Heng, but he was no longer interested. He looked back and it was already dark. Now, Xiao Heng's back was even more blurred in the dark. Emperor Yuanfeng shook his head and turned around. Seeing Song Xiangyu still in a hurry in the yard, he was inexplicably upset and couldn't help but glared at him: "You What are you doing sneaky?"

  Song Xiangyu pursed his lips a little embarrassedly, ran over and saluted, and said with a smile: "I'm not curious, sage, what's going on? Why are you talking about the prince again."

   Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Yuanfeng glared at him again.

   But Emperor Yuanfeng knew about Song Xiangyu's temperament. He knew that his cousin had no scheming, and since he could ask it, it meant that he really didn't know it before.

I don't know why, when Song Xiangyu messed up like this, Emperor Yuanfeng felt a lot better, he reprimanded Song Xiangyu, and then said: "Don't listen to the wind and rain for everything, don't ask Ah Heng later, he is busy. Now, if you have nothing to do, go back first, you are a lot of age, why are you still so out of touch?"\'

   Although it is a reprimand, it is also full of intimacy.

  Song Xiangyu scratched his head and agreed.

When Emperor Yuanfeng left, he took away the smile on his face and hurried into the room. Seeing Xiao Heng reading Manager Xu's confession, he breathed a sigh of relief, and went to light the candle again, "It's so dark. Painted, what can you see? Why don't you light the lights?"

   Xiao Heng didn't speak. After a while, he put down the things in his hand and called his father softly.

Song Xiangyu was stunned, he lit the candle, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes while turning around, and snorted as calmly as possible: "It's getting bigger and bigger now, and I don't want to discuss anything with anyone, what a bad temper. Do you know how adventurous it is today?! But if you are emotional and say the wrong thing, now even if Xu Shun is finished, you won't have any good fruit to eat, do you know?"

"I know." Xiao Heng was a little tired. After the trial of Xu Shun, he dealt with Emperor Yuanfeng. He himself seemed to have just been fished out of the water. Sitting posture, he explained again: "But I have no other way, it has been a day and a night that Xu Shun was imprisoned, after today, it is not certain whether he can continue to stay here, if I don't seize this opportunity, I will There may never be a chance to ask these words, so I can only take a risk and drag them down, it will only be us who can't afford it."

Of course Song Xiangyu also knows these truths. Seeing Xiao Heng so tired, he felt very distressed, opened his mouth, and then took a slow breath: "Forget it, fortunately, I have passed the risk, I just went out, I think With his appearance, we should have won, and Xu Shun is finished."

  No one thought that Xiao Heng would really finish the case within a month.

It is true that Princess Jing Ming was murdered by Li Qingzhou and Xuanyuan. At the same time, some other activities of Li Qingzhou were also found, such as the crime of embezzling army salaries in the fish and meat town in the northwest. Even the Xu family pulled out the radish. Bring out the mud, was found out a lot of secret.

   It’s just that Xu Chong committed suicide in prison because he couldn’t stand the stimulation. After Xu Shun learned about it, he also suffered a stroke and died.

  The power of the court and the opposition just ended suddenly, and many people in the court didn't respond for a while.

   In particular, some of Xu Shun's disciples even wrote a letter saying that Xiao Heng's tyranny was serious, and it should be Xiao Heng's excessive torture that caused the old secondary assistant to suffer a sudden stroke.

   It was just that Emperor Yuanfeng, who had always been open-minded to his words, suddenly became furious. He stripped the trousers of the person who wrote the letter in public, and placed him at Zuo Shunmen and beat him with fifty sticks.

   Now the whole dynasty knew the attitude of Emperor Yuanfeng, and his voice for Xu Shun suddenly became quieter.

   "That's right!" Empress Dowager Tian shouted abruptly, hating the Xu family: "He used to look like he was righteous and awe-inspiring, and how many people did he bluff!? But what happened? The most disgusting person was him!"

  Princess Jingming's death has changed her temperament greatly. She used to be a person who was very able to restrain her emotions, but recently these days she has been very short-tempered and easily angered.

  Tian Xun held a Qiu Li ointment next to him and said softly, "Yes, this is also their retribution."

   "What retribution?!" Empress Dowager Tian couldn't help choking, her face flushed and gritted her teeth: "Li Qingzhou is still alive and well, she must be executed Ling Chi in order to relieve the hatred in Aijia's heart!"

   As long as she thought about how scared and helpless her four-year-old child would be when she died, Empress Dowager Tian's heart felt as if it had been torn open.

   And all of this was given by Li Qingzhou, and Empress Dowager Tian could not wait to tear her into pieces with her own hands.

   Tian Xun hurriedly reached out his hand and patted her back, sighing and gently coaxing: "The Empress Dowager has a kind heart, the princess has a soul in the sky, and she can definitely feel it, and she doesn't want you to be so sad."

  The Empress Dowager Tian squinted her eyes and was about to speak when someone reported that the eldest grandson of the emperor was coming.

   Now the person Empress Dowager Tian is most willing to see is Xiao Heng, and after hearing this, she urged, "Come in!"

   Tian Xun's eyes suddenly lit up.

   After a while, Xiao Heng really came in. Before he could salute, the Empress Dowager Tian had already stopped him: "There's no need to be so polite, Ah Heng, everything has been checked out?"

   "Yes, everything has been checked." Xiao Heng responded and added: "The princess' corpse has also been buried."
