First Class Concubine

Chapter 319 Ling Chi's Awakening

The emperor's assassination is naturally a shocking event, if one is not good, blood will flow into rivers.

The emperor was furious, and immediately summoned a group of ministers to interrogate the assassins, find out who was behind the scenes, and arrest relevant personnel.For a moment, the whole court was shaken, and everyone was frightened.I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will be implicated.

None of the assassins escaped, but after being interrogated, there was no meaningful news.Everything is nothing more than prostitution and murder.How much IQ can a killer who dares to take on the task of assassinating the emperor have?
Even after repeated interrogations, there was no meaningful news.

In the end, the interrogators had no choice but to think otherwise.

Apart from these assassins that day, those horses that went berserk were also extremely abnormal.Apart from other things, this horse is not something that ordinary people can own.There must be a reason for so many horses coming out of this brain.How come these horses are so coincidental that they go crazy at this moment, and the route they are traveling on is such a coincidence that they just hit Yujia?
It should be known that the road will be closed for three days when the imperial driver is traveling, and the idlers will avoid it.

These horses naturally have their origins, and the source was found after a search.

These horses come from the horse farm near the hunting ground. Why the horses appear there and why they go crazy has become a mystery again.

The shepherd who herded the horses was found, beaten unconscious in the haystack by the roadside.It wasn't until half an hour after the incident that the hound found it and dragged it out.

There was nothing wrong with the horse, it wasn't poisoned, it wasn't injured.But everyone knows that it is impossible to have no problems. The only possibility is that the people who do it are clever.

If you can't find it out, check it in depth, and someone will put pressure on it, and guide it a little bit.

In the early court, the emperor glared at the official of the Ministry of Punishment who answered with a gloomy face.

"You mean, this horse farm secretly sold war horses to other countries?" Le Chen looked at the news reported by the people below, and didn't have much reaction on his face: "Our big man didn't stop anyone, and the other side the laws of doing business in the country.”

"The emperor is kind. He has always loved the people like a son, and he is unwilling to restrain the people. However, their war horses were sold at extremely cheap and unreasonable prices. The price of a top-quality war horse is even lower than the price of the worst meat horse. Low. Merchants value profits, such a price is enough to make people suspect that they have other plans."

Naturally, someone jumped out: "Even if a businessman pays much attention to profits, he still buys and sells. As long as the price is right and both parties agree, there is nothing wrong with it. It is very inappropriate to accuse and convict rashly."

Indeed, the low price can only show that the seller is stupid.

"It's fine if it's a side thing, but war horses must not be ignored. You need to know that a war horse is equal to a cavalry. Selling a big man's war horse to a neighboring country is tantamount to weakening the big man's cavalry and letting the neighbors The country grows stronger. Such behaviors are not about breeding tigers, but even collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.”

Alarmist talk, but it does make sense.It is also necessary to take precautions before they happen.

And this is what Le Chen wanted.So, he had to let this thing go on.Moreover, it must be handled as a real event.

"Only based on your suspicion, you can't convict people for no reason. But your suspicion is not unreasonable, so if that's the case, then go on with the investigation."

"The minister leads the order."

With the holy will, it will be much more convenient and bold to check later.Even if someone is dissatisfied, or even obstructed, they can directly mobilize some troops and enforce it forcefully.

I don't know, I just thought I was still investigating the assassination of the emperor.Those who are in the know understand that when it comes to this direction, it must not be taken lightly.Even if the emperor seems to be casual and understated.But the question came from the assassin: "The buyer wants us to assassinate the people in the sedan chair. If you kill both of them, you can get 8000 taels of gold. The female is 2000 taels of gold, and the male is [-] taels of gold." When they heard the news, they You just know that anyone who has anything to do with that assassination will not end well.

It took nearly half a month to finally find out several other racecourses.Several companies joined forces to send war horses to foreign countries.

Then it was discovered that those families secretly sold inferior horses as superior horses to the army of the big man, and then privately bought high-quality war horses from the barracks of the big man, and even stole them and resold them to other countries...

The evidence is in front of you, and you can no longer deny it.

Even so, there is still no conviction.To be precise, the convictions for these crimes are not enough to satisfy Le Chen.So, keep digging deeper.

Le Chen even sent the hidden guards around him to support him.

After a month, I finally found out everything clearly.

Several clan elders of the Le family were all proclaimed to the main hall, civil and military officials lined up on both sides, and the evidence was laid out piece by piece.

In the past three years, the three racecourses have stolen [-] horses from the army.He also colluded with someone in the army to exchange inferior horses for superior horses.Then smuggle the high-quality horses to neighboring countries.

And someone who colluded with them was finally found on Le Jia.

In the homes of several clansmen, letters with neighboring countries were found.It was written clearly that the Le family sent people to several other countries, where they secretly hid soldiers and prepared to rebel.

Those war horses were not sold, but prepared for rebellion.

If it wasn't for Xinze, in order to coax the prince well and let the royal family open the door for convenience, they gave him some horses that the prince liked, and Le Hong happened to find out.This kind of silent thing, I'm afraid it won't be discovered until the moment they raise their troops.

It has to be said that the big man is very tolerant towards the common people in all aspects, especially in business... But unexpectedly, the members of the Guang family would take advantage of loopholes without hesitation.Add trouble to Lechen's death.

With all the evidence in front of them, the heads of the Le family and the elders all looked ashamed.

Rebellion is a capital offense at any time.Xu Shi knew that he was going to die, so they simply smashed the cans, pointed at Le Chen's nose and started cursing.

"We did this to clean up the family. You are an unworthy descendant, and you don't recognize the sins of your ancestors. You should have been scraped by thousands of knives and sent to the [-]th floor of hell."

"You killed the king and your father, and you forgot your virtues and ancestors. You are not worthy of being a king."

"As long as you still have a little conscience, you should go to the ancestral tablet and apologize with death."

"..."

Accusations, cursing, roared on the Golden Luan Hall.

The officials bowed their heads deeply, not daring to breathe.Le Chen sat high on the dragon chair, and didn't respond to their words at all.

However, the next moment, a strong murderous aura suddenly emerged from his body.Just because one person scolded: "It's fine for you to marry the daughter of a lowly bitch, but you abandoned the harem for a bitch, ignoring the plans of your heirs. You are simply... ah!" Before he finished speaking, he was thrown into the air by Le Chen With a slap, the slap flew out, hit the pillar, blood gushed out of the mouth, and he looked tired, it seemed that he couldn't live.

Murderous aura permeated the hall, and the ministers had long known that the empress was the emperor's villain.When I heard that person swearing like that, I was already prepared.Even so, his face was still pale with murderous intent.

But those people in Lejia were miserable.They are unprepared, let alone know, that there are some things they cannot touch.Even, they are still somewhat confident.

Even if they do something, just scold them.They are still the elders of the emperor, no matter how angry the emperor is, it is impossible for him to do anything to them in front of so many people.

Unexpectedly, seeing their usual old brother being slapped to death like this, they finally recovered.The emperor really has no affection for them.

For a moment, everyone's faces were ugly.He wanted to speak again, but was suppressed by Le Chen's aura, he couldn't even catch his breath, so how could he have the ability to speak.

"All those who participated in the rebellion will be sent to labor camps and serve for life. Their family members will be demoted to labor service status. Within three generations, they will not be pardoned for any reason. After three generations, they can be released from citizenship and become civilians based on merit."

Le Chen's gloomy eyes looked at these elders who stabbed him with knives everywhere.The voice is also cold as if from the abyss of hell.Looking at those desperate faces, he felt extremely happy.

Therefore, he said again, "All the children of the Academy of Arts, who have already entered the official position and entered the Academy of Arts, will be expelled."

"No, you can't do this, they are all named Le. You can't treat them like this." The patriarch finally couldn't take it anymore, and screamed out.

Le Chen looked at him: "When you rebelled, you should have thought of these things." He spared their lives not because of kindness, nor because he still cared about family ties.He wanted them to see who would atone for their crimes.They do all this, with consequences.

To pierce him with a knife is to have the consciousness of being maimed by him.

Seeing his cold gaze, the patriarch shivered and froze completely.For the first time, he discovered that the emperor hated them.

Only at this moment, he finally remembered.What is the emperor to them.

It's a pity, Le Chen didn't look at him any more, and his voice became colder: "Preparation."

The patriarch rushed forward, but was stopped by the guards.Turning his head, he saw Le Hong and Le Gu on the side, and hurriedly rushed towards them again.Being stopped again, I had to yell: "A Tai, A Gu. Are you just looking at it like this? Those are also your brothers, and their surname is Le."

Le Gu snorted coldly: "Patriarch, why didn't you think about it, my fourth brother is also surnamed Le? You want to rebel against the surname Le, and want to overthrow the Le family. We juniors, what should we say?"

Rarely, the smile on Le Tai's face disappeared: "Patriarch, you'd better pray now, the previous assassins have nothing to do with you, otherwise, the entire Le family will be dragged to hell by you."

The patriarch's face became even stiffer, and his hands trembled.

Yes, he is the patriarch.

In the past, the patriarch of the Le family was always held concurrently by the emperor.However, after the first emperor, the two or three princes have been unstable, so they have not been officially recognized.At that time, the clan elders' association was still thinking about letting the brothers of the Le family fight for themselves, and whoever was the final victor would become the clan leader.

But the final winner, Le Chen, didn't buy into them at all, and demoted the entire Le family.The Le family was so angry that they chose another patriarch.

However, people's ambitions grow really fast.Since becoming the emperor must be the patriarch, then since he is the patriarch, why can't he be the emperor?

Especially, after becoming the patriarch, after taking over the wealth, contacts, and power left by the Le family's ancestors for generations.With so many of him, why can't he become the emperor?
