Chapter 344
The other dozen or so courtiers who were in charge of the beheading originally thought that this person must be crazy, but they dared to slander the current Empress Dowager so casually, did they want to seek death?But before they opened their mouths, they saw Wen Youhai's sudden movement, because the other party was the prime minister of Dali Temple, who was also the supervisor and beheader this time, and they were just here to accompany the emperor through this journey, so Wen Youhai was sitting In the position of the first supervisor.

It was very obvious when he made such a movement. A dozen or so people looked at Wen Youhai, and found that the other party's eyes were staring at the kneeling man in the execution ground in disbelief. The scolding words were swallowed back.

Going to see other colleagues in the same industry, I found that a few of them also changed their faces.

They trembled inexplicably: No, no?This person...could it really be that Hua Lun whom the late emperor never forgot?
Taking a deep breath, the entire execution ground was deadly silent for a while.

Empress Dowager Liu obviously didn't expect that the person she had been looking for for so long would suddenly appear in front of her. It's just that she was sitting in the phoenix room, surrounded by bright yellow curtains, so she couldn't see clearly, but what the other party said was still the same. Empress Dowager Liu's complexion changed, her pupils shrank instantly, she also cooled down, and she waved her hand outward.

The accompanying nuns are all close confidantes, so they naturally knew the existence of Hua Lun and Liu Deqian, and they reprimanded loudly: "Where did the madman come from? How dare you slander the empress like this? You are so brave, who is going to frame her?" Discredit our mother?"

Mammy reminded everyone in a few words that this person is talking nonsense, even if this person is really Hua Lun, someone else will come to slander and frame their mother?
Everyone was stupefied. After all, they didn't know the truth of this kind of palace secret. As a melon-eating crowd, although they didn't know the truth, they were inexplicable...they were deeply interested in the unknown. With the thought of spying on one or two, I couldn't help but my blood boiled: God, God, maybe they can watch a big show this time?Whether it's true or not, it's heartening that the empress dowager, who is usually aloof, is exposed to such a scandal...

What's more, this scandal also includes all kinds of scenes that only appear in the story books, such as imprisoning other courts, domineering women, forcing marriage with drugs, refusal to obey, and castration... No matter which one slips out casually, it can become a big show at the beginning of the new year. What's more, one of the two protagonists is the empress dowager, and the other is a top scholar of the year. If this person is really amazing and peerless Warren, who is a beautiful man and a talented man, this, this is the number one scholar back then.

The talented Hua Lun, the number one scholar, was forced to be imprisoned by the female overlord, and was even sentenced to castration after the talented person refused. Fairness, so I boldly said it in front of the emperor.

They looked at the empress dowager who was "bullying men and bullying men" in Feng Huo again. Her expression was so subtle that she had even made up countless scripts. They didn't believe it at first, but when everyone saw Hua Lun's appearance clearly , I can't help but look crazy, oh my god, now that he is so handsome in the past half a century, how magnificent was he back then?

By the way, I imagined a sadomasochistic love scene, and my blood was boiling. Someone dared to take advantage of the crowd and couldn't help but yell at Nanny Cui: "You say that the other party is talking nonsense and slandering your mother. Listen to how people slandered you? Empty words and white teeth are not enough, what if it is true? If this talented Hua Lun is true, what is the evidence? There must be evidence and pleadings for a lawsuit, right? "

After this person yelled, all the people suddenly woke up and boiled up, so that the imperial guards almost couldn't suppress the violent and violent people.

Mammy Cui and the others turned pale, and looked anxiously at Empress Dowager Liu in Fengzhuo.

what to do?Ma'am, this is...

Empress Dowager Liu was very calm, but her displeasure almost distorted her face. She raised her hand and said slowly, "Emperor, is this how you let thieves slander Ai's family?"

Li Tianxiao let out a sneer while stepping on the chariot, but his low voice was calm: "Mother, this person is really hateful, but this matter has been said in front of so many people, if you want to clear up your grievances for your mother, then We can only have a fair and just trial in front of everyone, if the other party has evidence, it’s fine, but if there is no evidence, slandering the royal family will destroy the nine clans.”

Empress Dowager Liu expected that Hua Lun would not be able to produce evidence, let alone the 27-year-old incident. When she entered the palace, although she used tricks, she was still "perfect" according to the records. He couldn't tell clearly with his mouth .

Empress Dowager Liu hummed: "In that case, let's go to trial, but Ai's family will listen on the spot."

Li Tianxiao sneered: What I was waiting for was her words.

Li Tianxiao cleared his throat, and then called out to Wen Youhai: "Wen Qing's family, did you hear what the queen mother said? This matter is related to the reputation of the royal family. I have specially ordered you to try this case on the spot. An adult to listen and assist, must clarify this matter, if this person really slandered the royal family, he should be punished for the crime, understand?"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of Wen Youhai and other courtiers. They just came to accompany to watch the execution, so why did this happen to them?

But the emperor has already opened his mouth, how could they have the courage to say no?

Therefore, Wen Youhai accepted the order tremblingly, using the execution ground directly as the lobby, and asked the people around him to start reporting to the common people, where have they ever seen the current queen mother being interrogated?Immediately shouted in agreement.

However, because of the special status of Empress Dowager Liu, Empress Dowager Liu was still sitting in the Phoenix and did not appear. Mrs. Wen was sweating layer upon layer on his forehead, and just took office temporarily tremblingly. The two people in the middle of the execution ground below, especially the kneeling man whose back was stopped, suddenly felt sad.

He still remembers the demeanor of Hua Lun's number one talent back then. At that time, he was very envious, but he really admired the other party's profound knowledge, especially the other party's not arrogant, treated others with humility and courtesy, and talked about various things for the country. The plans for the people are all beneficial to the country and the people. At that time, they admired him very much. He even secretly regarded the other party as his idol, and followed suit.

Later, this person really got the first place in the written test and entered the hall attendant. Although he was at the front, he was far inferior to the other party. But later he realized that such a perfect person suddenly disappeared without a trace.

He had a faint premonition in his heart, maybe...he may be true, after all, in the eyes of these candidates, the purpose of studying for decades is to become an official and show off their ambitions.

Unless something unbearable happened, he would be favored by the late emperor, the number one in the written test, and the No. [-] scholar would disappear just like that when it was at his fingertips. Castration...Wen Youhai couldn't stop the chills all over his body, if this was true Yes, Empress Dowager Liu...how vicious and cruel?

Master Wen patted the gavel with a hoarse voice: "Under the hall... who is kneeling?"

After Lu Huan finished that sentence, he kept silent. He was not sure, but when the interrogation hall was temporarily opened in the execution ground, he suddenly couldn't hold back. After so many years, the crying and resentment in his heart, Unwilling to take this moment again, two lines of tears finally rolled down his eyes. The man did not flick his tears lightly, but they did not reach the point of sadness.

Following the other party's silent line of tears, those who were close, for some reason, also shed tears, and Mr. Wen even held the gavel tightly, so he couldn't show anything wrong.

Lu Huan took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Caomin... Hua Lun. He was a Jinshi in the 34th year of Chengde, that is, when the first emperor reigned."

Yao Zongping gritted his teeth with hatred. Seeing him so uncomfortable, he felt like a knife had been gouged out of his heart. He wiped his face fiercely, and then said: "Your subordinate Yao Zongping is also a Jinshi in Chengde for 34 years, and now he is in Yuanhe Township. Seventh-rank county magistrate, this is the official credential of the next official." In order to make everyone more convinced, Yao Zongping took out his official credential from his bosom as evidence, a county magistrate is an official anyway, he dared to risk losing his black yarn If there is no real grievance, if there is really a big injustice, it will definitely never happen.

Sure enough, when everyone heard this, they couldn't help but change their faces a few times, and they put away their expressions of watching the show, and they believed it three or four points.

The courtier above probably didn't expect that the other party was actually a magistrate, so his expression became more subtle.

Wen Youhai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the other party was Yao Zongping. He remembered that this person was similar to him back then. Years later, he resolutely left the capital and became a small county magistrate. After such a farewell, it was 25 years, and he almost didn't recognize it.

With a hoarse voice, Wen Youhai flipped through the official certificate, waved his hand, and asked someone to hand it back again: "It is indeed Master Yao. I will ask Hua Lun, did you really mean what you said earlier?"

Lu Huan lowered his eyes: "every sentence is true. If you don't believe it, you can have someone do a physical examination on the spot. The injury of Caomin was indeed injured 27 years ago." After Hua Lun said this, he didn't speak again for a long time. The execution ground was also dead silent, everyone opened their mouths, but they didn't know what to say, castration, so the other party is no different from an eunuch now?If what the other party said is true, the Empress Dowager Liu was unable to woo her back then, but she actually killed such a killer, it really is...

They couldn't find a word to describe it.

Wen Youhai's eyes were scarlet, but he knew that if he really wanted to help him, he could only do so, so he waved his hand: "Come on, find an assistant to verify it."

Not long after, a yamen servant quickly set up a temporary screen around Lu Huan and Yao Zongping, and an elderly gangster hurried in, came out after a while, and knelt there: "Return to my lord, what this Mr. Hua said is true. , the other party was indeed subjected to castration, and it took a long time, it should have been more than 20 years, but it was too long... The subordinates are not sure if it was 27 years ago."

It's just that this is enough to show that the other party was indeed tortured more than 20 years ago.

But this does not prove that it was the Empress Dowager Liu Liu Yuxi who executed him.
