Chapter 270 Nine Desperate Risks

The sky was bright and there was a sea of ​​people outside the palace. The imperial army had to build a human wall in front of the imperial list because there were too many people watching.Among the common people, a nine-foot man dressed as a hunter with a big bow on his back shouted loudly: "Girl, come and see, the emperor's father has released the list. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the bones will be inspected outside Zhengyang Palace." , our work is not in vain. If you don't let my brother out, we will break into the palace..." Xiang Xiaotian said to the pretty girl behind him as if no one was around.

Shangguan Yanran nodded worriedly and withdrew from the crowd, walked up to a woman with a big belly and was about to give birth on the street, and said, "Sister-in-law, the story of Princess Roufu will be revealed to the world in three hours. Senior brother will finally be able to Come back, sister-in-law, if you are inconvenient, wait for us in the inn."

Qi Ying smiled shyly: "The doctor said that I will not give birth in two or three days, sister, after you are pregnant, you will know that there is a big stone on your chest all day long, you want me to be alone Didn't you want to suffocate me in the inn?"

Xiang Xiaotian smirked and said: "Girl is fine, we went to eat earlier and wait outside Zhengyang Gate, I see who dares to touch your sister-in-law..."

Princess Fuguo was awakened by the rapid knocking on the door while she was still asleep. Gao Shirong got up cursingly, put on his clothes, opened his mouth and yawned and went out to open the door.Gao Shirong was about to start swearing, but was pushed into the room by Gao Desheng outside the door. Princess Fuguo on the gum bed kicked off the quilt and sat up and shouted: "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

"The big thing is not good. Just now, this old slave asked the deacon and eunuch of the early court. At three o'clock in the afternoon, there will be a public bone examination outside the Zhengyang Gate. Now the East Palace compound is under the control of the imperial army. The princess does not wait for anyone, so I should make plans early Bar!"

Princess Fuguo's head exploded all of a sudden, got out of bed after getting dressed, took out a lot of treasures and jades from her dressing iron box, poured them into a silk handkerchief and wrapped them into a big ball.He said to Gao Desheng: "Cousin, this is the treasure that the emperor has rewarded me for many years. At least it is worth four to five million taels of silver. I will go to the East Palace Household to take out the silver for you. Cousin must hand it over to Chu Jiangfeng." inside."

Gao Shirong rolled his eyes and said: "It's better for the princess to sit here, and just leave it to me to get the money. If the emperor and the emperor come, they will be suspicious if they don't see the princess in the palace." Fuguo The eldest princess was stunned for a moment and thought about it, which made sense, and she took off the jade charm that was close to her body and gave it to Gao Shirong.However, Princess Fuguo waited for half an hour in Dongning Palace, but Gao Shirong and his brothers did not come back, and an ominous omen emerged spontaneously...

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is a place where the withdrawal of silver and expenditure in the palace is limited. The silver rewards of each palace and hall are all in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the money should be withdrawn with tokens.Gao Shirong took out all the 80 taels of silver bills from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Princess Fuguo, and Gao Shirong's heart began to feel alive with this money.I clearly know that Princess Fuguo is a fake, and originally followed her for the sake of prosperity and wealth, but now the identity of the princess has been questioned by outsiders.Gao Desheng's eyes turned green looking at the banknote in Gao Shirong's hand, and the two wanted to leave the East Palace but were stopped by the forbidden army.In fact, the two of them didn't want to give Chu Jiangfeng the jewelry banknotes in their hands at all, so they walked back tacitly.

When passing by the East Palace Garden, Gao Desheng pointed to the rockery in the garden and said deliberately: "Huh? The princess of Fuguo looks like that in the rockery cave. She is telling us to go there."

Gao Shirong was afraid that Princess Fuguo would come after him, so it would be better to give the banknote in his arms to anyone than to himself.Hearing Gao Desheng say that the eldest princess of Fuguo called him over in the rockery, he let out a sigh of relief about his plan to leave the palace and escape, and walked into the rockery cave bravely.Gao Shirong, who was pitch-black in the cave, called softly a few times: "Princess! Princess! Where are you?"

"She asked you to open the way for her in the underworld!" Gao Desheng picked up a big stone and threw it viciously at Gao Shirong's head. on Gao Shirong's shoulder.

Gao Shirong shouted, "Cousin, what are you doing?"

"What to do? I want to ask for an explanation for more than 30 years of men and women and women. Killing you is enough for me to live out of the palace. Don't blame me for being cruel. If I don't kill you today, you will come to kill me tomorrow !" Gao Desheng chased Gao Shirong in the narrow cave with a rock, after a few chases, Gao Desheng obviously felt powerless.Gao Shirong, who was dripping blood from the beating, threw himself back at Gao Desheng, and the two turned into a close hand-to-hand fight.With both hands around each other's neck, neither of them said a word, holding their breath, only whoever breathes longer will get that huge amount of wealth...

When Xiang Xiaotian brought Qi Ying and Shangguan Yanran to the Zhengyang Gate after lunch, there were already many people guarding the gate of the palace.The Imperial Army was busy building the pergola, Xiang Xiaotian relied on his stature to protect the two girls, went to the front row, took off the Overlord Bow and inserted it into the bluestone outside the palace gate to protect Qi Ying from being bumped.When the common people in Lin'an City saw Xiang Xiaotian's posture, who would dare to be serious with him, they stepped aside one after another.

Near noon, a patch of dark clouds rolled over the head of Lin'an city, and the forbidden army placed two dragon chairs and some grand master chairs wrapped in ### leather at Zhengyang Gate.The eunuchs in the palace walked outside the Zhengyang Gate with clean whips and shouted sharply: "All officials, welcome long live!" The officials headed by Shi Hao stood on both sides of Zhengyang Gate and waited for the emperor. It became quiet.The people of Lin'an who came one after another completely surrounded the huge Zhengyangmen open space. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of well-informed people in Lin'an who have already arrived.People were all staring at Geng Xiang in front of the long table in the dragon chair, wishing that it would be three quarters in the afternoon...

"It's 64:[-] noon, all the officials and people kneel down to welcome the Son of Heaven!" The sundial on the city finally reached [-]:[-] noon, the father-in-law who was in charge of the time shouted from the top of the city, and the imperial guards in the palace immediately entered the palace.Hundreds of officials outside the palace gate and tens of thousands of ordinary people all knelt down to the ground. It was always a big event for the emperor to go out of the palace.But today Song Xiaozong is investigating the case for the emperor's aunt, so everything is kept simple.Only [-] imperial guards were used to stand under the city, and Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou was the first to sit in the dragon chair.It took a while for Emperor Xiaozong and Empress Xia to come out and sit on the dragon chair and tiger stool...

"Report! Princess Fuguo, the Supreme Emperor, His Majesty, Prince and Princess have already taken their seats, please move Princess Fuguo to Zhengyang Gate." The summoner of the Imperial Army knelt outside Dongning Palace, only the eunuchs in the palace could call Fuguo long princess.At this time, Princess Fuguo was already wearing a dress and looking out of the window, knowing that Gao Shirong and the others would not come back.

The maids asked An to let Princess Fuguo go out, Princess Fuguo smiled and said: "You wait outside the door first, I have to wear crested hairpins." Princess Fuguo went to the bedroom and took out a brocade A gold hairpin and a dagger of cold light and four colors are contained in the brocade box.Princess Fuguo inserted the crested hairpin and held the dagger tightly, thinking that if something wrong happened to Chu Jiangfeng today, outside the gate of Zhengyang Palace is the place where Song Xiaozong Zhao Shen died, no matter what, she would kill him as a backup...

Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, saw that everyone had arrived and shouted in a low voice: "Everyone is flat, what is Hu Gansi in Dali Temple?"

Hu Gansi stepped out and said: "The humble minister is here, please make it clear to the Supreme Emperor."

"Today is the time to check the identity of my imperial sister. Is the Tao Zhongwang you mentioned here? Let him start the inspection. If he dares to talk nonsense and confuse the real with the fake, don't blame me for being merciless!"

"The grassroots Tao Zhongwang has been waiting for a long time. Apart from Tao Zhongwang's inability to tell lies, the whole family of six was killed by the enemy. The Supreme Emperor can rest assured!" From the crowd, the imperial guards of Dali Temple guarded a gray-haired old man. The old man stepped out of the way, walked to the dragon chair a foot away, kowtowed three times and prostrated nine times.

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "I am today's presiding judge. It is said that Chu Jiangfeng will bring a niche box to the audience."

The eunuch was summoned and shouted: "It is said that the head of the imperial guards with swords and the commander of the imperial army will bring a niche box to see you..." Chu Jiangfeng knelt down in front of Zhao Gou holding the niche box after saying this three times.

Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Shen and said, "Okay, I won't say much more. Tao Zhongwang, start checking, Bo Cong, do you have something to say?"

Song Xiaozong Zhao Shen shook his head and said: "Today is the emperor's uncle presiding over the trial, but let the emperor's uncle make the decision." Zhao Gou waved his hand for Tao Zhongwang to inspect.

Princess Fuguo was holding the dagger in her sleeve all the time, as long as the old man Tao Zhongwang found any flaws, the dagger would pierce Song Xiaozong, the man who ruined his wealth.Fine beads of sweat slowly oozed from the forehead of Princess Fuguo, and her eyes were fixed on Tao Zhongwang.

Tao Zhongwang didn't carry a lot of tools like other sculptors, he just had a small cloth bag in the armhole.Tao Zhongwang rolled up his sleeves and took out a pair of old gloves from the cloth bag, took the niche box from Chu Jiangfeng's hand and spread the red silk outside the niche box on the ground.Opening the niche box, he frowned and said: "The Supreme Emperor, this... this is clearly a man's skeleton..."

"What? A man's skeleton!" Song Gaozong Zhao Gou and Song Xiaozong Zhao Shen cried out almost at the same time.

Tao Zhongwang pieced together the broken bones in the niche box on the red silk, pointed to the bones calmly and said, "Your Majesty, look at this skeleton, whose shoulders are wider than a basin, and the femur is thicker than a woman's pubic bone. Look at the corroded bones." It should have been buried for 40 to [-] years, but it is indeed not a woman's bones!"

"Okay! Come on, come and bring me the monster in the iron prison. Slandering the reputation of the royal family is a felony that should be punished by the nine clans. It's really unreasonable!" Princess Fuguo finally breathed a sigh of relief. , took out a silk handkerchief and pretended to wipe away tears, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Xiang Xiaotian, who was in the crowd, was about to rush forward, but was held down by Shangguan Yanran: "This matter is strange, brother, don't act rashly!"

Chen Mengsheng was reprimanded by the imperial guards and brought him to Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou laughed and said, "Monster, how dare you call me a foolish king, but you yourself came to the palace to cheat with a man's bones! Come on, come here!" I hacked him to death!"

"The man's bones?" Chen Mengsheng looked at the bones on the ground in confusion, stared at them for a while and laughed loudly: "Wait! This bone is not the soft blessing I brought into the palace. The skeleton of the princess..."
