A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 871
For a while, the business of the blacksmith shop was very hot.

You put this thing on me when I wasn't ready, and I was furious and forced you to wear it for you. Ever since, when officers and soldiers were patrolling the streets, I encountered a group of people wearing helmets fighting in groups.

No doubt the last group were thrown into prison.

From the first dozen or so faceless people captured by the government to the later development, the prison was almost overcrowded.

Then in the early court, the ministers had to raise this urgent issue with trepidation.

In the emperor's heart, don't mention how uncomfortable it is.

In the end, the Faceless Assassin didn't catch him, but he caught a lot of trash, and the prison had to control them to eat and drink.

However, this is only one of the things that makes the emperor uncomfortable, and the second is that the emperor feels that these courtiers are making him endlessly angry.

At first, the ministers who went to the early court were only absent a few, but as the days went by, a few were missing every day. Until now, when the emperor went to the court, when he saw the sparse courtiers in the court hall, his heart beat suddenly.

The emperor rubbed his forehead and asked, "What about the others?"

Eunuch Huang replied carefully: "The other ministers have all asked for leave."

The emperor patted the table and said angrily, "Why did they ask for leave!"

Long Yan was furious, and the entire court knelt down hastily.

Eunuch Huang said: "It is said that most of them were unable to go to court because of illness."

The emperor said: "So many people are all sick together?!" Then he said angrily, "Send me an order to summon all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital to wait for orders, and announce that all the ministers who are absent today will enter the palace and let the imperial physicians come to the palace together." After seeing a doctor, I want to see what kind of disease they have!"

The emperor issued a summons, and those ministers who asked for leave and stayed at home really panicked.

What can I do if I don't go?If you don't go, you are against the decree!

So the minister had to drive to the gate of the palace in a carriage, and then get off and enter the palace to enter the court hall.

When I met my colleagues on the road, I looked at each other, and all I saw was a big head, and then I felt relieved for no reason.

It's okay, I'm not the only one wearing an iron hood.

The ministers bumped into each other, and they couldn't see each other's faces when they greeted each other, so they had to ask: "This lord is..."

"My old Li, what about you?"

"I am old Zhang."

"Hey, let's go quickly, the emperor is still waiting."

……

The emperor was sitting at the head of the court hall, and he was really impatient to wait.

Later, he saw figures rushing towards this side one after another, but after the people entered the hall to worship, the emperor took a deep breath before he could get angry.

The people who came in were all wearing official robes of different grades, and they had iron helmets on their heads, so it was impossible to tell who was who.

The emperor's face was very ugly, and he was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Is this the real reason why you asked for leave and didn't come to the morning court?"

As soon as these words came out, all the hooded officials below wanted to cry without tears: "Your Majesty knows that I am guilty, but when I woke up overnight and found that I was wearing this helmet, I really have no face and no courage to go to the palace again! "

emperor:"……"

The emperor asked: "There are so many of you, didn't you notice at all when you were wearing helmets at night?"

The iron heads below shook so that the emperor's eyes bulged.

The ministers said: "I didn't feel a little bit at night, and I just woke up in the morning."

The emperor said angrily: "Are you all pigs, are you so sleepy!"

Immediately, the emperor began to question the matter in detail, and learned that the officials wearing helmets were divided into two groups, one group was put on quietly in sleep, and the other group was put on by people while going out. of.

The emperor focused on asking the officials who were wearing hoods when they went out, and found that the results were mostly the same—his followers all fainted, and then a faceless man appeared. The officials thought that the faceless man was here to kill him, but he also fainted immediately It passed, and when I woke up, I found that I was wearing a hood.

At this time, an iron head stood up, knelt down and shouted: "I know who did this, I implore the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

The emperor looked at him, was silent, and said, "Who are you?"

The iron head paused, and the old man replied with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, this old minister is Xie Hongbo!"

The emperor said solemnly: "You said you know what's going on?"

Xie Hongbo replied: "The veteran went out to return home that night, unexpectedly he was assassinated and attacked by a faceless man on the way, and injured his arm." He lifted up his sleeve and exposed his arm, only to see an obvious bandage on his arm "Later, the veteran's subordinates followed the Faceless Assassin closely and saw him enter the Palace of Prince Yin Wu."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

Xie Hongbo continued: "Knowing that the Faceless Assassin might be hiding in Prince Yin Wu's Mansion, the veteran didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately went to the palace to have an audience at night, but before he arrived, he was caught up by the Faceless Assassin again At that time, the old official was unconscious, and when he woke up, he was put on a helmet. The Yin Wu Palace was trying to put a helmet on the old official, and framed him!"

The emperor's face was calm and he remained silent for a while.

He even felt a little sorry.Since the Faceless Assassin wanted to kill people to silence him, why didn't he do it cleanly? How could he just wear a hood to silence him?
However, the emperor didn't show anything on his face, and said solemnly: "Come here, King Xuan Yin Wu, I want to hear what he has to say."

After the words fell, a calm voice that was neither sad nor happy came out from a group of iron-headed officials, saying: "The minister is here."

The emperor looked up, and when he saw that the one who was bowing to answer was also holding an iron head, his expression was wonderful: "..."

The iron-headed ministers around quickly stepped aside, ouch, wearing a helmet, they didn't know for a while that this was actually King Yin Wu...

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "King Yin Wu, how did you get to wear this?"

Yin Heng said: "Earlier, Mr. Xie said that he saw the faceless assassin break into the palace with his own eyes, but I didn't realize it for a while, so he was plotted in the middle of the night."

Xie Hongbo said angrily: "King Wu of Yin is too open-minded. On the second day after I was assassinated, I heard that King Wu of Yin was still going to court as usual!"

Yin Heng said: "This faceless assassin is elusive. He hadn't been seen before, but now he suddenly appeared, and Master Xie saw him break into my Prince Yin Wu's mansion. He just wanted to put the blame on me. If not, the assassin's second attempt When catching up with Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie said that he was unconscious, so if he just got rid of Mr. Xie, he would have nothing to do. Why risk himself being traced out just to put a helmet on Mr. Xie ?”

As far as the matter is concerned, the courtiers couldn't help but nodded.

If King Wu of Yin did it, according to his methods, he would have already wiped out the grass and roots, so how could he give Xie Hongbo a chance to testify?
