Chapter 768
Besides, why did Lu Xiaoning break up with him inexplicably before?

From these many questions, at least two conclusions can be drawn. First, Lu Xiaoning went north for the Three Tribulations Sect, and Chen Ziyang is the leader of the Three Tribulations Sect. Then Lu Xiaoning and Chen Ziyang practiced acupuncture together and worked together for so long. Maybe it's because of Chen Ziyang.

Lu Xiaoning must know some secrets that he doesn't.

Second, Prime Minister Chen's death was very strange. It wasn't that simple. Just a token of the Three Tribulations Cult's Dharma Guardian could really prove that the assassin was a member of the Three Tribulations Cult?

"Your Highness, do you think there are too many people?" Gu Shifeng asked seeing Huangfu Shaoye not writing for a long time.

The number of people to be questioned and beheaded this time is indeed a bit large, six elders, seven Dharma protectors, 36 hall masters, 27 incense masters, and [-] corrupt officials who have been found to be related to cults and are fish and meat.I am afraid that this is the largest number of imperial pens and verdicts in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.Even when Qin Wang and Zhao Wang rebelled, the number of people who were asked to be executed was not so many.

If Chen Cheng's assassination had not brought great anger and shock to everyone, many ministers would have raised objections.

Huangfu Shaoye returned to his senses, and wrote while writing: "All the elder protectors and hall masters will be executed, and all one hundred and eight incense masters will be dispatched to Mobei to build fortifications for the coolies. They will not be pardoned for life. The 27 corrupt officials who have linked up with the cult will all be executed. Beheaded, as a warning to others..."

Ordinarily, these one hundred and eight incense masters should also be sentenced to death, but now that the emperor is seriously ill, it should be regarded as accumulating blessings for the emperor.

Such a sentence was expected by Gu Shifeng. Instead of killing those incense masters, it is better to let them do coolies.

"Your Highness, is this case over?" Gu Shifeng asked.

Huangfu Shaoye exhaled heavily: "It's over."

What else could it be?

If we continue to investigate, we can only investigate the Chen family, but he really doesn't want to investigate further, he would rather believe that the prime minister is innocent.

Huangfu Shaoye put down his pen and said: "These people will be executed after the scientific examination is over."

He didn't want to be raising soldiers and killing people at the same time.

not auspicious.

After finishing the official duties, Huangfu Shaoye called Gu Shifeng to inspect the examination room together to see how the examination room was arranged.

The two walked and chatted.

Gu Shifeng said: "The wedding of Zhao Yincheng and the Second Miss of the Chen family has been postponed until next year."

Huangfu Shaoye nodded, of course, where the rules are strict, they have to wait three years before getting married.

"What about you and Xiao Ning?" Gu Shifeng asked again.

If the two of them don't hurry up, it will take a long time.

Huangfu Shaoye murmured, "Take your time."

He still hasn't figured out a lot of things, and his heart is always blocked like a stone.

There are too many things going on recently, so I'd better talk to Xiao Ning after I've been busy for a while.

Counting it, the two hadn't seen each other since the prime minister's funeral. Although they both lived in the palace, he used to go to the Yaohua Palace not far away, but he hadn't figured out what to say when they met. In other words, how to ask her to tell him the truth.

The feeling of being hidden by a loved one is really terrible.

When visiting the examination room, Huangfu Shaoye ran into Ji Ziming who came to familiarize himself with the examination room.

Ji Ziming hurried forward to salute.

Huangfu Shaoye saw that he was full of energy, unlike the other candidates who had a sad face and serious thoughts, so he smiled and said: "It seems that you have already made up your mind."

Ji Ziming said: "Anyway, stretching your head is a knife, and shrinking your head is also a knife. Why not let nature take its course and concentrate on taking the exam."

"If someone else said this, I would think it was a broken jar. Brother Ziming said, I think it is self-confidence." Gu Shifeng said.

Ji Ziming smiled and said, "Has Your Highness seen Xiao Ning these days?"

Huangfu Shaoye said awkwardly, "I've been too busy recently."

"Oh, yes, Xiao Ning is also busy and hasn't been back to Ji's house for a long time. If you see her, let her go back to Ji's house when she has time." Ji Ziming said.

Huangfu Shaoye raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, but her grandmother is here." Ji Ziming said.

Grandma came here specially to cheer him on for the next exam.Of course, my grandmother must have other purposes, otherwise she wouldn't have come all the way to Jinling. My grandmother hasn't left Huai'an for more than ten years. Even if my aunt had an accident, my grandmother didn't leave Huai'an.

He originally planned to find Xiao Ning after familiarizing himself with the examination room, but now that he met His Highness Yan Wang, it happened that His Royal Highness Yan passed it on to him.

Huangfu Shaoye focused his gaze: "Madam Ji is here?"

He is very respectful and very curious about this old lady. He knows that the master of the Ji family has passed away a long time ago, and Mrs. Ji is taking care of the Ji family. I want to meet the No. [-] richest woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Isn't this a big deal? I'll tell Xiao Ning later, or I'll accompany her to visit Ji's house tonight." Huangfu Shaoye said.

It is very necessary to see Mrs. Ji. He will marry Xiao Ning in the future. Although Mrs. Ji is only Xiao Ning's grandmother, in Xiao Ning's heart, this grandmother is far more important than his own grandmother. He will naturally pay attention to those who value him.

Ji Ziming was surprised: "Your Highness is coming too?"

Seeing his surprised expression, Huangfu Shaoye couldn't help laughing: "What? Are you not welcome?"

"Of course you are welcome. It is an honor for the Ji family to welcome you very much." Ji Ziming said hastily.

This is not what it used to be. In the past, Huangfu Shaoye came to Ji's house and hid it, and everyone got along more casually, but now he is the King of Jian Guo Yan, and the emperor is gone. It is not a trivial matter for the monarch to come to the door. He has to go back and tell his father quickly, so that his father can prepare well.

"I also want to meet Mrs. Ji, may I go with you?" Gu Shifeng loves to join in the fun.Mrs. Ji is a legendary figure. Everyone's curiosity about Mrs. Ji is no less than that of Mr. Fufeng.

The richest woman in Dazhou, just kidding, who doesn't want to meet.

"Of course, you all come, the Ji family hasn't been this lively for a long time." Ji Ziming hurriedly expressed his welcome.

Huangfu Shaoye also said that he hadn't thought about meeting Xiao Ning, but in the end, it was not as good as God's plan. After returning to the palace, Huangfu Shaoye went to Yaohua Palace.

Lu Xiaoning was accompanying His Royal Highness the eldest princess to talk about the Chen family, and Madam Chen was so ill that she couldn't get up.

The eldest princess also regretted the death of Prime Minister Chen. Prime Minister Chen was a rare and virtuous prime minister, who would have thought that he would die unexpectedly.It is understandable for Mrs. Chen to be depressed. Prime Minister Chen and his wife are very affectionate. In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there are only a handful of courtiers who do not take concubines. The death of the person they love the most is tantamount to the collapse of the world. Back then, she herself was the same , I couldn't slow down for several years.

While the two were talking, Huangfu Shaoye arrived.
