Qiankun Storyteller

Chapter 248
Three days later, Ningzhou Mansion, outside the city gate.

The brigade lined up and waited in two rows.

There are three more people among them, they are Mufang Zhenxue of Ningzhou State, Li Qinglan, Li Laotai, and Li Qianqiu, Xuehai Sword Lord.

Three congenital overhauls.

After the three congenitals, they are the heads of the Meng and Yan families, as well as the leaders of the major forces in Ningzhou Prefecture.

"Such a big show?"

"Lord Zhou Mu, Mrs. Li, and Mr. Xue Haijian are all here."

"The heads of the Meng and Yan families are also here, and there is no shortage of leading figures from various forces in Ningzhou Prefecture."

"Some time ago, when Her Royal Highness the Princess came to Ningzhou Mansion, there was no such grand pomp!"

"Could it be that the Son of Heaven is here in person?"

"You don't even know about such a big thing. It's the empress who came to Ningzhou mansion!"

"Queen?"

"This……"

Outside the queue, everyone was discussing and wondering.

"Empress, the current empress?"

"That's Li Men's..."

"Second Miss, the current empress is the Second Miss of Li Family's direct line!"

"The Li family's direct lineage, there are three people in this generation, the eldest daughter is recruited, the second daughter enters the palace, and the third daughter is not married."

"Three years ago, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the second Miss Li Men entered the palace immediately. Now she is the master of the harem!"

"I heard that the new emperor is young, that's why the empress dowager who was born in the Li family recruited Miss Li into the palace to help her assist the new emperor in governing the country. Now, why do you have the time to come back to Ningzhou?"

"I'm afraid it's because of the incident a few days ago."

"Li Men, are you really going to protect Chen Quan to death, even at the expense of letting the queen leave the capital?"

"I don't think it may be because of Chen Quan..."

The crowd was talking, noisy and restless.

"quiet!"

The two officials beat the gongs and drums to suppress the restlessness of the crowd.

Then...

"Wow!"

A phoenix cry came loudly.

In the distant sky, the red clouds are like fire, burning all over the white clouds in the sky, reflecting a phoenix shadow.

The phoenix spread its wings and soared towards them, and landed in front of everyone. It was a divine boat that was almost the same as the Panhuang Treasure Ship.

Habitat Phoenix Boat!
The car of the Mother of Great Zhou.

According to legend, thousands of years ago, when the Great Zhou Taizu founded the country and established the dynasty, he collected the elites from all over the world, gathered the strength of three Mohist masters and thousands of disciples, and built three Shenzhou treasure ships. Panhuang, the descendant of the Phoenix vein, and Qifeng, which was controlled by successive empresses.

These three Shenzhou treasure ships are not only a symbol of status, but also a proof of force. They travel thousands of miles a day and travel across Kyushu.

Half a month ago, Jiang Huang arrived in Ningzhou from Mengzhou on the Panhuang Treasure Ship.

And now, this Fengfeng Shenzhou...

"The queen is here!"

The Shenzhou landed, and the scene was lined up. Maids and guards were listed from among them, surrounded by a graceful and luxurious woman in court dress with a phoenix crown, and came in front of everyone.

It is the current empress, the noble daughter of the Li family——Li Yuer!

"Meet the Queen!"

Even including Li Qinglan and Li Qianqiu, everyone saluted one after another.

"Everyone is flat."

Li Yu'er smiled, helped everyone up with empty hands, and then stepped forward to salute Li Qianqiu and Li Qinglan: "Yu'er has seen my father and grandma."

"what!"

Hearing her address like this, Li Qianqiu and Li Qinglan both smiled, and said affectionately: "Yu'er, you have been exhausted and have worked hard all the way, let's put other things aside first, and go home with grandma to clean up the dust for you, and see you later." Auntie Ming."

"Grandma is worrying."

Li Yu'er shook her head, said with a light smile: "But Yu'er still has something important to do, she must visit Aunt Huang, eldest aunt!"

"My memory, I almost forgot."

Li Qinglan patted her forehead and said with a smile: "Then go to Panhuang Palace first, and after meeting Her Royal Highness, I will go home with Grandma."

"It's natural!"

Li Yu'er smiled, supported Li Qinglan, boarded the golden chariot, and headed straight for Panhuang Palace.

"This……"

"The visitor is not good!"

"She's no stranger."

"Yes, if you want to talk about it, it should be His Highness."

"Hey, if it's like this, how will it end?"

"At this point, Li Men will not give up again. This empress is even more prepared, and she is bound to win."

"His Royal Highness... I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Everyone was discussing secretly, but they were not optimistic about Jiang Huang.

Although in terms of status and status, Li Yuer, the current queen, is not as good as Jiang Huang, the eldest princess.

but……

At this moment, at such a juncture, Li Yu'er left Beijing to return to her hometown, and came to Ningzhou, representing not only herself.

and also……

"Heaven!"

"Royal!"

In the hall of Panhuang Palace, Su Wen looked calm, and said to Jiang Huang, whose face was sinking like water: "It seems that Beijing has already made a decision."

"..."

Jiang Huang was silent for a long time.

What does Li Yuer's arrival mean at this time?
No one knows and understands better than her.

This is also the reason for her silence.

After a long time, she raised her head, turned to Su Wen and said, "Jiang Huang has no face to face Mister."

Su Wen shook his head and asked, "What's your Highness's plan?"

Jiang Huang flicked his sleeves, and said in a cold voice: "I'll see you later!"

As soon as the voice fell, I saw...

"Your Highness!"

Yun Yan came quickly, and repeatedly said: "The empress is asking to see you outside."

"Humph!"

Jiang Huang snorted coldly and asked, "Is she alone?"

Yun Yan lowered her head and said, "There are also Mrs. Li and Mr. State Shepherd."

"Family ugliness must not be exposed!"

Jiang Huang got up and said in a cold voice, "Let her in."

"Yes!"

Yun Yan bowed and retreated, and after a while, she led Li Yu'er into the hall.

"Yu'er met Aunt Huang, eldest aunt!"

Li Yu'er stepped forward and saluted Jiang Huang without saying a word.

But Jiang Huang didn't give her face, put her hands behind her back, and said in a cold voice: "You are the queen of the country, and you are not serving the emperor in the palace, what are you doing here?"

Asked in a cold voice, not polite.

But Li Yu'er didn't care, she smiled, got up and said: "I came to pass on an edict from the Son of Heaven to my eldest aunt."

"Sacred edict?"

Jiang Huang's eyes froze, and he asked in a cold voice, "What holy edict?"

Li Yu'er chuckled and said: "Your Majesty has an order, please return to Beijing quickly, and there will be no mistakes!"

"Go back to Beijing!"

Although he had expected it, Jiang Huang couldn't help but face darken when he heard this, and said in a cold voice: "At this moment, right now?"

"Not bad!"

Li Yu'er smiled and said, "The imperial decree is waiting outside, can my eldest aunt have a look?"

"No need!"

Naturally, Jiang Huang would not seek to humiliate herself, and asked in a cold voice: "What are you going to do with the matter between Qin Hongniang and Huanhua Village?"

"Auntie can rest assured about this."

The smile on Li Yuer's face was even bigger, as if he had the chance to win, but the etiquette was still the same: "Your Majesty has an order, deal with it impartially, what is the law of the country, it is what it is!"

"Deal with justice?"

"it is good!"

Jiang Huang looked at her coldly: "I want to see how you deal with it fairly."

"Hehe, Aunt Huang, did you forget what you just said?"

Li Yu'er smiled and said, "The holy decree ordered you to return to Beijing quickly, there must be no mistakes."

"This is my business, I have my own plan, it has nothing to do with you!"

Jiang Huang's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a cold voice: "Why, are you going to escort me back?"

Li Yu'er didn't care either, and said with a light smile, "The eldest aunt is an elder, even His Majesty should respect her, how dare Yu'er disrespect the eldest aunt?"

"but……"

"Your Majesty's oracle, don't delay!"

"How about this, I'll go up to the court immediately, settle the matter between Qin Hongniang and Huanhua Village, let the eldest aunt have no worries, and return to Beijing with peace of mind!"

Li Yuer stared at Jiang Huang, smiled and asked, "How?"

……

Li Yuer turned around and left, calmly.

Jiang Huang's expression was cold, her phoenix eyes were filled with anger:
"How could they be like this, how could they be like this!"

"As expected, of course!"

Su Wen stood up and said to Jiang Huang, "Your Highness, I want to see Ding Lin."

"Ding Lin?"

Jiang Huang was startled: "Sir, do you want to...?"

Su Wen smiled without explaining: "There are some things that I want to talk to him about."

"This……"

"All right!"

Hearing this, Jiang Huang didn't say any more, and said directly: "Come on, take that Ding Lin..."

"No!"

Su Wen shook his head, and said, "I'll just go find him, Your Highness will wait here for a while."

After all, regardless of Jiang Huang's reaction, he stepped out of the hall.

……

In the courtyard of Panhuang Palace, Ding Lin came with two guards and looked at Su Wen in surprise.

"Go down."

Su Wen waved back the two guards, and then said to Ding Lin: "There is not much time, let's be direct, tell me, who are you?"

"Um?!"

Ding Lin's eyes froze, then he calmed down, and said with a normal expression: "I don't quite understand what your Excellency is talking about!"

Su Wen shook his head, and said, "Ding Lin, a knight-errant who has no sect, can step into the realm of Houtian, or is he the top of the three stages?"

"Um……"

Ding Lin's eyes fixed, and he was about to defend himself.

Su Wen didn't give him this chance, and said self-consciously: "It's such a coincidence that such a knight-errant with three realms and three barriers, who has acquired the ultimate talent, appeared in Huanhua Village on the night the Qin clan was wiped out, and saved his family. Qin Hongniang, who just happened to escape from a desperate situation, was handed down a treasure to protect her body?"

"After saving Qin Hongniang, I would like to lie dormant for her for two years, waiting for the opportunity. At the end of the Wenhua Conference, when the eldest princess is in Ningzhou, she will forcibly break into the government office and beat drums to express her grievances?"

"A coincidence, a coincidence!"

"The two coincidences are God's will!"

"Three coincidences are a conspiracy!"

Su Wen smiled and looked at Ding Lin: "Are you right?"

"..."

Ding Lin remained silent.

But sometimes silence is also an answer.

Su Wen didn't care whether he answered or not, and another sentence hit the point: "Qin Hongniang, it's your pawn!"

"!!!"

Hearing this, Ding Lin finally changed his color, stepped back half a step, put his hand on his waist, and instinctively wanted to draw his sword.

But where is the sword in his waist now?

Pressed a blank!

Su Wen didn't care too much, and continued: "Who are you, who are you, why did you provoke the conflict between the royal family and the Li family?"

"..."

Ding Lin remained silent for a long time, apparently not intending to answer Su's question.

Su Wen didn't care, and continued: "You don't need to answer this question, but there is one question, you must answer me."

"..."

Ding Lin looked at him and said hesitantly, "Excuse me, Your Excellency!"

"The matter of Hongniang Qin."

"The matter of Huanhua Village."

Su Wen looked at him, and said in a deep voice, "Is it really Li Men's fault?"

……

"Ascension!"

"mighty!"

In the courtroom, Mufang Zhenxue of Ningzhou State was still sitting as the chief judge of the case, and there were two rows of observers on the left and right. One was Jiang Huang and Su Wen, and the other was Li Yuer, Li Qinglan, and Li Qianqiu.

There is a clear distinction between Wei and Wei, and tit for tat.

"Bring Ding Lin, Qin Hongniang!"

"Chen Quan, Li Lu'er!"

Fang Zhenxue patted the hall wood, and it was reported that the four people were confronting each other in the hall, and then said in a deep voice: "Ding Lin, Qin Hongniang, you sued Chen Quan and Li Luer, and Chen Quan accused Chen Quan of killing the Qin family in Huanhua Village. , what the Li family did, but one has no witnesses, and the other has no physical evidence, so this government will not accept this case, can you accept it?"

"Clothes?"

Ding Lin raised his head, looked at Fang Zhenxue in the hall, and then swept everyone one by one, as if he had expected this result long ago, he was not excited or surprised, just laughed: "My lord is so reasonable and well-founded, how can the grass people refuse to accept it?" , how dare you refuse to accept it?"

"Um!?"

Fang Zhenxue's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "If you refuse to accept it, then you can use evidence. It is a false accusation without evidence!"

"what!"

Ding Lin smiled, without any fear: "My lord, a few days ago, in the court, it was said that the case of exterminating the family in Huanhua Village would be re-investigated. What is the result?"

Fang Zhenxue frowned, and said: "The government sent people to Huanhua Village, Qingxi County to investigate. Whether it was recorded in the case records of the year or the investigation after the fact, there is no clue or evidence that can prove that this matter is related to Chen Quan and It's about Li Men."

"There are no clues, no evidence!"

Ding Lin shook his head, with a hint of sneer in his words: "Dangtang Limen, how could he leave clues and evidence for such a trivial matter?"

"Ok?"

Fang Zhenxue's eyes narrowed, and he shouted: "Watch your words!"

Ding Lin ignored it, turned his gaze to Li Yuer, Li Qinglan, and Li Qianqiu who were sitting on the sidelines, and said with a smile, "Am I not right?"

"have a look!"

"This is the current queen, Miss Li Men!"

"This is Xiantian Daxiu, the old lady of the Li family!"

"This is a great Confucianist in the world, the master of learning Haijian!"

"There is also Jingzhong, the queen mother who is currently listening to the government behind the curtain and assisting the emperor is also a noble daughter of the Li family!"

"have a look!"

Ding Lin laughed loudly and turned to the people outside the hall.

"One sect, two descendants and three geniuses!"

"The master of the Li family, Fenghuangge!"

"Ningzhou Limen, what a noble, what an honor!"

"in this way……!"

Ding Lin laughed loudly, and said frantically, "Will a clue or evidence be left behind by killing a small Huanhua Village?"

"Obviously not!"

"If it does, it won't be Limen!"

"So, no clues, no evidence!"

"But I have a question!"

"My lords, please answer me!"

Ding Lin turned his head, ignoring everyone's surprised and angry eyes: "Just now what Master Zhou Mu said, the destruction of Huanhua Village was done by robbers?"

Fang Zhenxue frowned, and said in a cold voice: "It is recorded in the case records, it is true."

"Hahaha!"

Ding Lin smiled and said loudly: "Then, may I ask Master Zhou, why did the gang of robbers slaughter the Qin clan and burn Huanhua Village?"

"For money?"

"For sex?"

"In name?"

"For profit?"

"A group of robbers, what reason do you have to slaughter Huanhua Village?"

"This is Ningzhou, the ancestral land of Kyushu, where aura is favored, and even under the rule of the imperial court, how can it raise such a group of insane bandits?"

Ding Lin looked at Fang Zhenxue: "Lord Zhou Mu, can you answer me?"
