The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 145
Facing Empress Wu's thunderous anger, Mrs. An Guogong's wife trembled with fright, but she didn't dare to speak easily.

After venting her anger, Empress Wu also calmed down. She pondered for a moment, and then said to Mrs. An Guo: "Leave this matter to Jing Zhaoyin. You tell Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin that Zhou Hui's words are unfounded and can't be trusted. The emperor is convinced and asked him to produce evidence, and after obtaining the evidence, this scourge can be eliminated, so that everyone's life can be saved!"

"Yes, the concubine knows, so I will go out of the palace and tell Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin." Having said that, Mrs. An Guogong hurriedly agreed, and then she left the palace.

Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin knew the meaning of the Empress Empress from Mrs. An Guogong, and when she returned to the mansion, she conveyed the meaning of Empress Wu to Jing Zhaoyin. He endured it quietly for a few days, and then sent Shaoyin from Jingzhao Mansion to Zhou Hui's temporary residence.

This Jing Zhao Yin is a young man in his early twenties, he is handsome and elegant, and he is highly valued by Jing Zhao Yin. Many times, when it is inconvenient for Jing Zhao Yin to come forward, he will come forward to solve it.

Zhou Hui was just an orphan. He made a living by doing odd jobs and earning some coins. He lived in a small temple in Xindu.

That day, Zhou Hui had just returned to the temple after cutting firewood from the mountain, when a young monk took over the burden in his hands: "Benefactor Zhou has worked hard, a distinguished guest is looking for you, and he is in the first wing of the west courtyard. Don't keep your guests waiting."

After listening to the little monk's words, Zhou Hui had doubts in his eyes. He was a poor orphan and didn't know any so-called noble people at all. However, he was confused. He still followed the little monk's instructions and went to the West Courtyard and stayed in the first room. In the wing room, I saw the so-called nobleman that the little monk said.

Zhou Hui knew this noble man. He met him last time in Jingzhao Yin Mansion. He was also an adult. He even guessed the identity of the other party. .”

Guan Peng, the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion, said with a friendly smile: "I am Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion. My surname is Guan. I came to you this time because your pleading paper was rejected by the emperor. The emperor said that he could not rely on a pleading paper. Then I doubted my subject, I came today to ask you, do you have evidence to prove that An Guogong made false military exploits, if not, this case will be difficult."

After all, Zhou Hui was young, and he didn't know the sinister heart, and Guan Peng's handsome and elegant features, and his gentle speech, made Zhou Hui unconsciously fond of him, so he didn't take precautions. He just replied eagerly: "Of course I have evidence, I'll go and send it to you." The evidence has been brought, and Master Guan will help me transfer the physical evidence to Master Jing Zhaoyin."

"It's good to have evidence, so that Mr. Jing Zhaoyin can persuade the emperor to order Duke Xuan'an to return to Beijing for investigation." Upon hearing that there was evidence, Guan Peng showed a look of joy at the right time.

Zhou Hui felt that Guan Peng was really helping him, so he hurriedly said, "Master Guan, please wait a moment, I will go and get the evidence, please pass it on to Mr. Jing Zhaoyin, can my parents and the villagers redress their injustice? , all pinned on Mr. Jing Zhaoyin."

"Okay, you go! Be careful, the less people know about this, the safer your situation will be, and you can catch An Guogong by surprise, making him unable to refute." Nodding, Guan Peng still did not forget his 'goodwill' reminder .

Seeing that Guan Peng was so unassuming as an official, Zhou Hui was even more moved. He exited the room with slightly wet eyes, went back to the meditation room where he lived, took a small box, returned to the room and handed it to Guan Peng, saying, "The physical evidence is here." In the small box, Lord Guan please hand it over to Lord Jing Zhaoyin."

Guan Peng took the box, opened it, and was overjoyed: "That's great, the evidence is as solid as a mountain. Let's see how Duke An will argue this time." After closing the box, Guan Peng looked at Zhou Hui again and said, "You just wait here. Good news, you didn't tell anyone in this temple about the matter you sued Duke An!"

Zhou Hui shook his head when he heard this, and said, "This matter is very important. I didn't say anything to anyone. Firstly, I was afraid that they would be hurt, and secondly, I was afraid that people would talk too much and spread rumors to Mr. An."

Hearing this, Guan Peng breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was filled with admiration: "I didn't expect you to have considered so much at such a young age. You have done a good job, and you can wait for my news with peace of mind. You will soon be able to seek justice for your family and the villagers."

After returning to Jingzhao Mansion, Guan Peng took a small box to the study room where Jingzhaoyin worked and rested in the backyard. Jingzhaoyin was waiting for him. When he saw him coming back, he hurriedly got up to greet him and said, "How is the matter going? Is there evidence?"

Guan Peng fawned over the small box to Jing Zhaoyin and said, "It's all here. That kid has no suspicions. I'm afraid he's still daydreaming about redressing his grievances!"

Jing Zhaoyin couldn't wait to take the box, and after seeing the contents of the box, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, the key physical evidence is gone, and it's time to send that kid to hell, so as not to continue to harm us."

At this moment, Guan Peng didn't care about Zhou Hui's end, he carefully looked at Jing Zhaoyin's face, seeing that he was happy, he said without losing the opportunity: "My lord, I am 22 this year, can my marriage with Rou'er be settled? "

The Rou'er that Guan Peng said was Jing Zhaoyin's concubine's concubine daughter, and the only daughter of Jing Zhaoyin's grown-up children. After Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin gave birth to three sons for Jing Zhaoyin, she was unable to Pregnant again, it happened that a beautiful concubine beside Jing Zhaoyin was pregnant, and it was difficult to give birth to a baby girl in October. Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin saw that the child's facial features were very good, and she also wanted a daughter, so she decided to give birth to a baby girl. The baby girl was raised under her name. Although the birth mother's status was not high, Jing Zhaoyin and his wife doted on her very much and raised her as a concubine.

Three years ago, Guan Peng, the champion of high school, fell in love with this Miss Rouer at first sight at a banquet. In order to get close to the beauty, Guan Peng spent a lot of effort to become a young lady under Jing Zhaoyin as he wished, and tried his best to please Jing Zhaoyin. A year ago, Jing Zhaoyin finally let go and allowed him to have contact with Rou'er.

This Miss Rou'er, with bright eyes and bright teeth, is charming and charming, respects her father's life, and always treats Guan Peng as if she were away, so that Guan Peng's heart is completely left on her.

Although Jing Zhaoyin allowed Guan Peng to associate with Rou'er, it did not mean that he would marry his beautiful daughter to a poor champion from a poor background, but he needed Guan Peng to do things for him, so he could only perfunctoryly say: "Rou'er also It's time to discuss marriage, and when the matter of An Guogong is over, I will let you make a formal engagement, and then pick a good day to get married."
