Rebirth of the Poisonous Girl
374.cross-examination
Seeing the middle-aged eunuch suddenly throw away the long sword, there was a relieved smile on his face, although Mo Xuan frowned, but the middle-aged eunuch hurt the person Xi Yan cared about, and he was Lin Yufen's most skilled minion, Naturally, he would not let the middle-aged eunuch go. Just as he was about to deal a fatal blow to the middle-aged eunuch, an urgent voice suddenly came from behind: "Don't kill him!" Subconsciously, he deflected his sword.
'puff! '
There was a clear sound of bone cracking, the shoulder blade of the middle-aged eunuch was pierced by Mo Xuan's soft sword, and the coquettish blood gushed out like rain in the air, and Mo Xuan's internal energy was too strong, even though he had already withdrawn when he stabbed the middle-aged eunuch Lost part of his internal strength, but the middle-aged eunuch wanted to die, so he did not retreat but advanced. Under this severe injury, his whole body was like a fallen leaf falling to the ground with the wind, causing gusts of wind and dust to fly up.
"Chen Yu!" He stepped forward quickly, inspected Mo Xuan's whole body carefully, and made sure that he was unharmed, Qingyun was relieved.
Gently holding Qingyun's hand, ignoring everyone's different expressions, Mo Xuanjue's beautiful face burst into a star-like smile, and his eyes were full of tenderness and firmness: "Xiyan, I said that I will give you peace." Long Ying vented his anger, I did it!"
"I know! I know you always do what you say!" Qingyun nodded repeatedly, her heart filled with emotion.
Because the two are talking in a secret voice, outsiders can only see the slight movement of their lips, but can't hear anything. Although they can't hear it, the warm and harmonious atmosphere naturally revealed between the eyebrows and eyes of the two makes some people feel uncomfortable. People felt extremely uncomfortable, such as Lin Bingquan, who snorted coldly, such as Zhang Zishan, whose eyes were unpredictable, such as rebellious ministers, all of them were frightened, and even those loyal ministers could not help frowning.
Prime Minister Han has both ability and political integrity, and is truly magnificent, but he was weak and sick since he was a child. The old man Tianji had already concluded that Prime Minister Han would not live to be 25 years old, and Princess Jiu was the successor to the emperor. Isn't it true that the princess insists that Prime Minister Han is the only one. . . . . .
With eyes slightly lowered, Taifu Han was both relieved and worried.
Looking at the two deeply affectionate people, Sima Rui's resolute lips raised a slight smile, and even the people standing around him seemed to warm up.
And this warm and beautiful scene deeply burned Sima Chun's eyes and hurt his heart. One thin hand was put on the eunuch's hand, and the other hand holding a brocade handkerchief lightly covered his lips, trying his best to restrain the constant surge. The fishy sweetness on the throat, the gloomy and lonely eyes, mixed with a faint ray of jealousy.
Mo Xuan's voice suddenly came from beside his ear, "Why did King Chun prevent me from killing him?" Sima Chun's body trembled.
Looking up at Mo Xuan, Mo Xuan's eyes were deep and bottomless, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised in a smile that was not a smile. Sima Chun's slightly pale face couldn't help but gloomy, and he turned to Qing Yun, and saw her face was calm and calm, and couldn't tell. She was thinking about something, sorrow and sadness instantly hit Sima Chun's heart, she looked away with difficulty and looked at the middle-aged eunuch lying on the ground, and the middle-aged eunuch just happened to look up at him, the indescribably complicated look in Sima Chun's mind. I feel suffocated.
For some reason, when he saw Han Mingji stabbing the middle-aged eunuch with a sharp and soft sword, but the middle-aged eunuch gave up resistance and went to die calmly, his heart ached inexplicably, as if he was about to lose something important, so he subconsciously Shout out loud.
Facing Mo Xuan's questioning and everyone's surprised and suspicious expressions, he naturally couldn't express the strange feeling in his heart that he had never had before and that even he couldn't understand.
Instinctively glanced at the middle-aged eunuch again, the gurgling blood was shocking, his face was as white as paper, only those eyes were bright and deep, as if he could see into his soul, in an instant, a fishy sweetness welled up in his throat, Sima Chun Forced himself to swallow, his voice was indifferent and cold.
"Although the concubine mother has been subdued, she has always been paranoid and has occupied the harem for many years. Her power should not be underestimated. The concubine mother has kept him by her side without telling everyone. Presumably he should know a lot of secrets and let him take the opportunity to investigate. The power of the mother and concubine must be wiped out to ensure the safety of Jiu'er."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's expressions changed suddenly: I never thought that the emperor would be so ruthless for the sake of Princess Nine!
"Why does King Chun conclude that this person will truthfully reveal the secrets of the guilty concubine?" Hou Guohou asked back.
"Just because he tried to dissuade the mother and concubine before, it can be seen that he is not a vicious person!" Sima Chun said meaningfully: "Besides, all the purple guards under Jiu'er are masters of torture, even the most powerful. In less than three days, he will be crying and begging for mercy with tears and snot in his nose, and there is a way to make him not even die!"
Looking at Sima Chun's thin profile, Qingyun's dark eyes were as deep as ink, and a trace of complicated emotions floated in his heart.
And the middle-aged Tai listened and closed his eyes to conceal the sadness and regret in his eyes.
Knowing that Sima Chun's words were reasonable, and seeing that Qingyun remained silent, Mo Xuan endured the sourness in his heart, walked up to the middle-aged eunuch, touched his acupuncture points to stop bleeding and disabled his martial arts, then took out a The pill was forcefully stuffed into his mouth, and then ordered two hidden guards to escort him to the dungeon of Luoxia Palace.
Qingyun glanced at the terrified rebellious minister, Qingyun gave Lin Bingquan a meaningful look, and finally landed on Zhang Zishan.
"As a subject, Mr. Zhang does not want to share the worries of the king and benefit the people. The first crime is to ignore the law, accept bribes, and form a party for personal gain. The second crime is to allow Zhang Lianwu to join the Juechen Palace with the intention of shaking the country. The third crime ;Knowing that Zhang Lianwu has ulterior motives, not only does not know how to persuade, but instead assists the tyrant to abuse, the disaster exceeds the standard, the fourth crime; using his power to secretly embezzle the treasury silver, the amount is as high as tens of millions, the fifth crime;... so many crimes, Even if I kill you ten times or a hundred times, it's not enough to quell the anger and grievances of the people!"
As Qingyun exposed Zhang Zishan's crimes one by one, everyone's expressions changed again and again, especially Zhang Zishan used his position to embezzle the national treasury amounting to tens of millions. Not to mention those loyal ministers, even Lin Bingquan had a look Shocking and unbelievable.
Zhang Zishan was just a dog he raised, but it was this humble dog who betrayed him, tried to compete with him for the country, and even embezzled the treasury under his nose, but he didn't realize it. Over the years he has really gone astray.
The icy and cold tone, and the cross-examination of every word, shocked Zhang Zishan's back and turned pale, but he pretended to be calm and said: "The Ninth Princess said that the minister embezzled the treasury, what is the evidence? There is no evidence, even if it is the Ninth Princess, there is no evidence. Don't slander the humble minister!"
"Evidence? Slander?"
Smiling coldly, Qingyun took a few steps in the direction of Zhang Zishan unhurriedly, as if feeling an invisible pressure, Zhang Zishan couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Mo Xuan, Lan Jue, Wu Ying and the dark guards tightly guarded Qingyun.
"Many of the ministers present grew up watching Bengong. When did I see Bengong slander any minister at will?"
The loyal ministers naturally said in unison: "No!"
Those traitors also shook their heads.
It is well known in the world that the Ninth Princess was taught by the late emperor himself since she was a child, and she has always acted the most fair and wise, and has never wronged anyone without a target.
In fact, Zhang Zishan regretted it as soon as he said it.
After all, the Ninth Princess did not kill anyone unjustly. Even though she knew that Lin Bingquan had committed countless crimes and was the biggest courtier and scourge in the court, the Ninth Princess had always held back in the absence of conclusive evidence. .
But at that moment, it was related to the life and death of him and the whole family, so the words of refutation came out of his mouth naturally, and he was pushed into a desperate situation instead.
At this time, hearing the accusations from the crowd and seeing the strange expressions of the party members, Zhang Zishan's already pale face became even paler, panicked and uneasy.
"Since Mr. Zhang wants evidence, I will give you the evidence, so that everyone present can see whether I have slandered you!" After Qing Yun took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve, Lan Jue stepped forward to take it. Passing the paper, Qingyun waved his hand, and stepped forward to hand the paper to Zhang Zishan himself.
Taking it with trembling hands, Zhang Zishan only glanced at it, his face turned pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his whole body trembled like a sieve.
This is not an ordinary piece of paper at all, but torn from a booklet he hid deep in the dark compartment of his study, which recorded his unknown secrets, including every treasury silver tael he embezzled. Once the amount and use of the money are made public, even if he dies, he will be scolded and cast aside by the world, leaving his infamy forever.
When his eyes went dark, Zhang Zishan slumped to the ground, his pale face full of despair and despair, and the papers in his hand were scattered at his feet.
Except for his wife, outsiders don't know at all that the reason why he was able to rise steadily all the way to the top and finally sat on the position of Minister of the Household Department all relied on Wu'er's advice behind his back, and he even relied on Lin Bingquan. In Wu'er's calculations, even Lin Bingquan, who was as cunning as a fox, didn't notice anything strange.
Wu'er is not here, he is at a loss, what should he do?
Ordinarily the eunuch should have notified Wu'er, but Wu'er hasn't come yet, could something be wrong?still. . . . . .
Do not!Will not!
Although Wu'er is cold-hearted and cruel, but she still cares about family affection, Wu'er must be on the way here at this moment, it must be like this!
I just thought about it when the imperial concubine and Lin Bingquan forced them to hand over their wives, and Wu'er agreed without even thinking about it. As a result, his wife who had been with him for many years was finally raped to death and her body was thrown into a mass grave. , he wanted to secretly bring back his wife's bones and bury them in the Zhang family's ancestral grave, but Wu'er forcefully stopped him, causing his wife to become a lonely ghost, and she could not rest in peace.
Zhang Zishan, who had just firmly believed that Wu'er would come to rescue him, was shaken again. The bone-chilling chill quickly spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and despair and panic swept his body and mind.
Just when Zhang Zishan lost all hope, he inadvertently noticed that the handwriting on a certain piece of paper scattered at his feet seemed to be a little different.
Doubtful, to be precise, Zhang Zishan, who was unwilling to be defeated and died like this, hastily picked up the piece of paper, and when he saw the content on it, his originally dull eyes lit up again.
Suddenly raised his head to look at Qingyun, Zhang Zishan shook the paper in his hand, and was so excited that he spoke incoherently: "Nine, Princess Nine... This is not the note of this official... Someone framed this official to blame him .....The minister didn't.....didn't take so much money from the treasury..."
"take?"
Looking condescendingly at the inexplicably excited Zhang Zishan, Qingyun's eyes contained a sharp and frightening edge, and the innate imperial arrogance burst out all over her body, and everyone trembled involuntarily, feeling a sense of awe in their hearts.
"There has been a saying since ancient times: If you don't ask yourself, it's considered stealing! According to the law, the light ones will be punished with thirty boards, and the serious ones will be exiled for three thousand miles or beheaded for public display! The treasury and silver belong to the court and the people of the whole country, not you, Zhang Zishan. , but you use your position to enrich yourself, which is an even worse crime!"
Zhang Zishan was speechless for a moment.
Taking the piece of paper in Zhang Zishan's hand, Qingyun glanced around at everyone, and finally landed on him again: "No one framed you, and every penny on this piece of paper is paid by me for you. Record it, and then use it as evidence to accuse you!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed, and they looked at Qingyun with fear and doubt.
"Nine, Princess Nine..."
Looking at Qingyun with wide eyes, Zhang Zishan's pale lips parted, but before he had time to say anything, Qingyun said coldly: "The day before I left the capital, I personally went with you to inspect the treasury, compared the accounts, the treasury Lihe's account books clearly show that there are still 840 million taels of silver and 500 million taels of gold;
Last night, I went to the treasury to check carefully, and there were less than 3000 million taels of silver and less than 1000 million taels of gold;
You said that you did not embezzle so much silver taels from the treasury, so where did the short silver taels go?Could it be that those silver coins grew their wings and flew out of the heavily guarded treasury? "
"My humble minister..."
"There is also my palace to assist Emperor Zhou and Emperor Liang to quell the civil strife. Emperor Zhou and Emperor Liang each donated 500 million taels of silver to the palace as a token of gratitude. Of the 500 million taels of silver from Emperor Zhou, I will give you 200 million taels of silver as a reward. For the soldiers guarding the border, the remaining 300 million taels of silver will be transported back to the capital by Dingyuan Bo Duan Fanghong to personally lead the [-] soldiers of the Ningyuan Army to fill the national treasury. palace!"
Qingyun took out a piece of paper dedicated to the household department from her sleeve and handed it to Lan Jue. Lan Jue then took the paper and walked around in front of the officials. It was indeed Zhang Zishan's notes. The seal fully proves that what Qing Yun said is true.
"As for Emperor Liang's five million taels of silver, before I could arrange to transport it back to the capital, news came that the late emperor was seriously ill, so I made another arrangement!" Majesticly said: "Now the evidence is convincing, Zhang Zishan, do you still have to quibble?"
Collapsing on the ground like a pile of mud, Zhang Zishan's eyes were loose: it's over, everything is over. . . . . .
"Come here, detain the criminal Zhang Zishan in the sky prison, and choose a day to interrogate him! His party members will be interrogated by the third division before making a decision!"
"According to the order!"
All the ministers attached to Zhang Zishan were as pale as snow after hearing this, and let the imperial guards escort or carry them to the prison in a state of weakness.
However, in just over an hour, the rebellious ministers of the two factions were resolved swiftly and vigorously by Qingyun, and the loyal ministers were naturally rejoicing.
While Lin Bingquan's party members were panicked, Qi Qi looked at him anxiously and worriedly, secretly praying that he could resolve the predicament in front of him, otherwise they would definitely end up in the same end as the previous two factions.
I have known for a long time that since Jiji last year, Princess Nine seems to have changed into a different person. She is intelligent, wise and decisive, but she can easily get rid of Lin Yufeng, Zhang Zishan and their party members as quietly as today. Lin Bingquan was deeply shocked by his calm mind and meticulous thoughts.
But the so-called ginger is still old and spicy!He didn't believe that a mere yellow-haired girl could beat him, a refined old fox!
Seeing Qingyun looking at him, those dark eyes were so deep that people couldn't see the contents clearly, but they seemed to contain too much insight, too much clarity. *Naked clothes as if exposed* in front of Qingyun, I felt a little scared for no reason.
Although she wished in her heart that she would kill this traitorous minister who poisoned his father and made such a mess, Qingyun still just looked at him quietly, her beautiful and vulgar face was as quiet as a pool of water, and neither the two factions were eradicated. The complacency and arrogance of the rebellious minister did not have the slightest hatred towards Lin Bingquan.
The two looked straight at each other, both pursed their lips and said nothing.
Whether it's those loyal ministers or Lin Bingquan's party members, they looked at Qingyun and then at Lin Bingquan, and kept silent with aspirations.
The golden red and silvery white sun shines on the earth, the magnificent palaces stand majestically, and the breeze that blows past is mixed with a chilling chill, the atmosphere is quiet and serene.
I don't know if it's because I'm getting old and my energy is not as good as before, or because I feel afraid under Qingyun's eyes that are as deep as the sea, Lin Bingquan was the first to lose the battle, slightly opened his eyes, and said in a strange way: "I don't know what the nine princesses will come up with next. Evidence against the veteran?"
"What crime does Lieutenant Lin think he has committed?" With a faint smile, Qingyun asked without answering.
"you......"
In front of all the ministers, Lin Bingquan, who had always been smooth sailing and used to being the only one, felt ashamed when he was defeated by a yellow-haired girl. He stared at Qingyun with a calm expression: "The old minister has always been loyal to the late emperor." , dedicated to the imperial court, how could he commit any crimes?"
Hearing that Lin Bingquan flaunted himself so brazenly, those loyal ministers were all furious.
But the party members felt extremely ashamed, and lowered their heads one after another, trying to hide their presence as much as possible.
"Really?" Qingyun raised her eyebrows and said indifferently.
"Of course!" Glancing at Sima Chun who was standing beside Qingyun, Lin Bingquan turned his eyes to Qingyun: "What Princess Nine wants to say is nothing more than the matter of the old minister inheriting the throne. I think the emperor didn't tell you. After passing Yuxi's imperial edict, it is justifiable for the veteran to inherit the throne!"
'puff! '
There was a clear sound of bone cracking, the shoulder blade of the middle-aged eunuch was pierced by Mo Xuan's soft sword, and the coquettish blood gushed out like rain in the air, and Mo Xuan's internal energy was too strong, even though he had already withdrawn when he stabbed the middle-aged eunuch Lost part of his internal strength, but the middle-aged eunuch wanted to die, so he did not retreat but advanced. Under this severe injury, his whole body was like a fallen leaf falling to the ground with the wind, causing gusts of wind and dust to fly up.
"Chen Yu!" He stepped forward quickly, inspected Mo Xuan's whole body carefully, and made sure that he was unharmed, Qingyun was relieved.
Gently holding Qingyun's hand, ignoring everyone's different expressions, Mo Xuanjue's beautiful face burst into a star-like smile, and his eyes were full of tenderness and firmness: "Xiyan, I said that I will give you peace." Long Ying vented his anger, I did it!"
"I know! I know you always do what you say!" Qingyun nodded repeatedly, her heart filled with emotion.
Because the two are talking in a secret voice, outsiders can only see the slight movement of their lips, but can't hear anything. Although they can't hear it, the warm and harmonious atmosphere naturally revealed between the eyebrows and eyes of the two makes some people feel uncomfortable.

Looking at the two deeply affectionate people, Sima Rui's resolute lips raised a slight smile, and even the people standing around him seemed to warm up.
And this warm and beautiful scene deeply burned Sima Chun's eyes and hurt his heart. One thin hand was put on the eunuch's hand, and the other hand holding a brocade handkerchief lightly covered his lips, trying his best to restrain the constant surge. The fishy sweetness on the throat, the gloomy and lonely eyes, mixed with a faint ray of jealousy.

Collapsing on the ground like a pile of mud, Zhang Zishan's eyes were loose: it's over, everything is over. . . . . .
"Come here, detain the criminal Zhang Zishan in the sky prison, and choose a day to interrogate him! His party members will be interrogated by the third division before making a decision!"
"According to the order!"
All the ministers attached to Zhang Zishan were as pale as snow after hearing this, and let the imperial guards escort or carry them to the prison in a state of weakness.
However, in just over an hour, the rebellious ministers of the two factions were resolved swiftly and vigorously by Qingyun, and the loyal ministers were naturally rejoicing.
While Lin Bingquan's party members were panicked, Qi Qi looked at him anxiously and worriedly, secretly praying that he could resolve the predicament in front of him, otherwise they would definitely end up in the same end as the previous two factions.
I have known for a long time that since Jiji last year, Princess Nine seems to have changed into a different person. She is intelligent, wise and decisive, but she can easily get rid of Lin Yufeng, Zhang Zishan and their party members as quietly as today. Lin Bingquan was deeply shocked by his calm mind and meticulous thoughts.
But the so-called ginger is still old and spicy!He didn't believe that a mere yellow-haired girl could beat him, a refined old fox!
Seeing Qingyun looking at him, those dark eyes were so deep that people couldn't see the contents clearly, but they seemed to contain too much insight, too much clarity. *Naked clothes as if exposed* in front of Qingyun, I felt a little scared for no reason.
Although she wished in her heart that she would kill this traitorous minister who poisoned his father and made such a mess, Qingyun still just looked at him quietly, her beautiful and vulgar face was as quiet as a pool of water, and neither the two factions were eradicated. The complacency and arrogance of the rebellious minister did not have the slightest hatred towards Lin Bingquan.
The two looked straight at each other, both pursed their lips and said nothing.
Whether it's those loyal ministers or Lin Bingquan's party members, they looked at Qingyun and then at Lin Bingquan, and kept silent with aspirations.
The golden red and silvery white sun shines on the earth, the magnificent palaces stand majestically, and the breeze that blows past is mixed with a chilling chill, the atmosphere is quiet and serene.
I don't know if it's because I'm getting old and my energy is not as good as before, or because I feel afraid under Qingyun's eyes that are as deep as the sea, Lin Bingquan was the first to lose the battle, slightly opened his eyes, and said in a strange way: "I don't know what the nine princesses will come up with next. Evidence against the veteran?"
"What crime does Lieutenant Lin think he has committed?" With a faint smile, Qingyun asked without answering.
"you......"
In front of all the ministers, Lin Bingquan, who had always been smooth sailing and used to being the only one, felt ashamed when he was defeated by a yellow-haired girl. He stared at Qingyun with a calm expression: "The old minister has always been loyal to the late emperor." , dedicated to the imperial court, how could he commit any crimes?"
Hearing that Lin Bingquan flaunted himself so brazenly, those loyal ministers were all furious.
But the party members felt extremely ashamed, and lowered their heads one after another, trying to hide their presence as much as possible.
"Really?" Qingyun raised her eyebrows and said indifferently.
"Of course!" Glancing at Sima Chun who was standing beside Qingyun, Lin Bingquan turned his eyes to Qingyun: "What Princess Nine wants to say is nothing more than the matter of the old minister inheriting the throne. I think the emperor didn't tell you. After passing Yuxi's imperial edict, it is justifiable for the veteran to inherit the throne!"
