Chapter 208
The palace, the meeting hall.

The emperor and all the officials who came to the scene couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw the person wearing a pure white cloak walking slowly into the palace.

Zhou Shining!
It was Zhou Xining who beat the Dengwen drum!

What is she going to do?Her grandfather was a teacher of the emperor, her father was a scholar of the current dynasty, her elder brother was a newly promoted Hanlin, and her fiancé-in-law was in charge of the Wuxuan Department. If something happened, which one could not stand up for her?What is the big deal that she must have a girl doll to beat Dengwen drum?
"Ms. Zhou Sining kowtows to Your Majesty!" Zhou Sining stopped before and after the steps, and bowed in salute.

"Pingshen!" The emperor now has a headache when he sees Zhou Xining, because every time he sees her, nothing good happens.Intuition, this time it will not be a good thing.

But since she beat the Dengwen drum and came to this hall, no matter how headache he had, he had to ask for an example.

"It was you who sounded the Dengwen drum?"

"Back to the emperor, it's the minister's daughter!" Although Zhou Xining lowered his eyes and dared not look directly at the sky, his back was stretched into a straight line

"What's the matter?" Seeing Zhou Xining's posture, the emperor started to have a toothache.

Zhou Shining said: "Back to the emperor, my daughter's fiancé-in-law was assassinated on the way to Dianmao of the Wuxuan Division. His life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown. It has been more than half a day since the incident happened, and no one has implemented any countermeasures. For this reason, my daughter came to Come to seek the emperor's holy judgment."

He neither talked about finding people, nor saving people, nor did he propose to hunt down the assassins, but only asked for a holy judgment.

After He Beiting's accident, Zhou Xining didn't believe that the emperor didn't receive the news, and he didn't believe that the various divisions didn't know about it. There were flowers in the streets and alleys of the four cities in central and central Beijing. If anyone dared to say that he didn't know, then she would dare to point his nose at him on the spot. Scold a waste of incompetence.

quiet!
Deathly silence!

The emperor lowered his brows and pursed his lips because of the problem Zhou Xining posed, while the courtiers also remained silent because they couldn't figure out the situation.All of a sudden, the quiet needle drop could be heard in the conference hall.

"In addition, my daughter's elder brother was also assassinated on Shangya Road. Fortunately, it was already daylight when my daughter's elder brother went to the Yamen, and there were already pedestrians on the street, so he was lucky enough to save his life.

Furthermore, the courtier's mother was frightened by the successive assassinations of the courtier's fiancé-in-law and elder brother, and was already sick in bed.The grandfather of the courtier's daughter was also anxious because of this.

Therefore, the courtiers had no choice but to come and beat the Dengwen drum in order to obtain His Majesty's holy judgment. "

The emperor rested his hand on his forehead, suffering from a headache, a toothache, and a pain all over his body...

"Since your lords are all silent, then let's go." The emperor tossed his robe sleeves and got up, and said as he walked, "Zhou Xining, come with me to the imperial study."

As soon as the emperor entered the imperial study and sat down, he said, "Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Zhou Shining lowered his eyes and saluted, and said again: "My daughter's fiancée and her elder brother were assassinated one after another, and all the yamen turned a deaf ear to it. My daughter came to ask His Majesty for divine judgment."

"Okay, there's no one else here except me, so let's just say it, don't turn around the twists and turns." The emperor glared at Zhou Xining angrily.

Zhou Shining continued with an innocent face: "It is true that my daughter is only here to seek His Majesty's judgment."

The emperor was a little angry, if he didn't know what Zhou Xining was, he would believe it.But he knew that Zhou Xining never went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so he didn't believe this kind of rhetoric.

Just now I want to say something, since I am asking for my holy judgment, then go back to the mansion and wait for the news.But before he opened his mouth, he heard Zhou Xining add another sentence, "After all, the person involved is from the royal family, and no one except His Majesty dares to judge."

Look, here it comes.

The emperor didn't turn the corner, and said directly: "Who is it? Do you have evidence?"

"The courtier is so bold that she wants to see the empress."

"If you want to see the queen, you can just hand in the post and enter the palace. Why do you need to beat the Dengwen drum..."

"If I don't use Your Majesty's imperial study to see the Empress, I'm afraid I will be ordered to enter the palace and not return home. After all, the current physical condition of the minister, even if I just knelt outside the palace of the empress and begged for two Time, I am afraid that this little life will be confessed..."

The emperor glanced at Zhou Xining, looked at her somewhat pale face, and thought, since you are self-aware, why bother.

"I didn't spare my life, but I had to come because I did. Today, three batches of assassins appeared on this central Beijing street.

At the end of Yin time, a group of dozens of men in black guarded the only way for the courtiers' daughters and fiancées, and took advantage of the darkness to sneak attack and assassinate them.As a result, the life and death of the courtier's daughter's fiancé-in-law is unknown, and her whereabouts are still unknown.This one also.

At the end of the Mao period, a group of dozens of assassins ambushed the elder brother of the courtier's daughter at the corner of the East Street and the Inner Street. Fortunately, God's favor, the road met the people who got up early to make a living, and the elder brother of the courtier's daughter escaped. One life.This second also.

Also at the end of the Mao period, a group of several assassins attacked Mr. Yang Qingyuan, the Xinke Chuanlu, at the inner streets and alleys. After the attack, Mr. Lin's whereabouts were also unknown.This is the third.

After the courtiers got the letter, they sent people out to inquire about the news, but they found nothing. "

The emperor snorted coldly in his heart. My royal secret guards found nothing. If you find anything, you should die.

"Since there is nothing to be gained, why do you still want to see the queen?"

"Although nothing was found, the three people who were assassinated, one was my daughter's fiancé-in-law, one was a direct elder brother, and the other was an elder brother with a different surname. Therefore, my minister boldly concluded that their assassination might have something to do with my minister's daughter.

However, the minister's daughter returned to the capital for only one year. Thinking carefully about the past year, apart from failing to fulfill the wish of the second prince and embarrassing the empress several times, the minister's daughter has never had any grudges with anyone.

The courtier's daughter-in-law's husband-in-law and the elder brother of the Yang family all disappeared after being assassinated. Their lives are at stake. If they wait a moment longer, they will be in danger.Therefore, the courtiers dared to beat the Dengwen drum and begged His Majesty for a holy judgment. "

After the emperor heard this, he looked at Zhou Xining with deep eyes, "Do you think those assassins were sent by the queen? Or do you think it was the Seventh Prince who had all his bows hidden?"

See, as soon as Queen Zhang is involved, the emperor himself is involved with the Seventh Prince without the need of others.

"My daughter thinks that the Empress has this possibility. After all, the Empress has some prejudices against her. But His Royal Highness has no such possibility. Whether it is the daughter's fiancé-in-law or her elder brother, they have nothing to do with His Highness the Seventh Prince. Moreover, on the matter of Yicheng, although the Zhou family's actions were to share the worries of the king and the country, they barely agreed with His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince.

There is neither any conflict of interest nor the slightest grievance. Why would His Royal Highness do such a harmless thing at this time?The servant's daughter's grandfather once praised His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness, and the female servant also felt that in the capital, assassinating courtiers in the street was such a stupid and unattainable thing, that the Seventh Highness could not do it. "

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, openly assassinating courtiers and doing such a thing is extremely stupid.
