Chapter 512
In the Jinluan Hall, Nan Gongyan's gaze was slightly lowered, and his eyes were suppressed with a torrential anger.

In the past few days, officials have been expressing their feelings, and the scriptures are all about the demon queen's disaster for the country and so on. Nan Gongyan didn't even read it, and asked Fu'an to burn those scriptures.

Today, these people in the court actually proposed the matter of abolishing the empress, Nan Gongyan smiled but said: "I have just been enthroned, and you will even make decisions for me about abolishing the empress."

The more angry Nan Gongyan was, the calmer he looked. His voice was not too loud, but it was enough for all the officials to hear clearly.

"Are you going to rebel now?"

All the officials trembled when they heard the words, they all knelt down and shouted in unison: "The emperor forgives the crime, but the humble minister dare not."

Nan Gongyan twirled the ring between his fingers, it was the wishful ring he had found when Wu Lingzu and Ji Qingxue got married, and he glanced at Murong Zhi who was kneeling among the officials.

"Lord Murong, there have been many rumors about the empress recently since the beginning of your Murong family. Could it be that you also think that the empress has something to do with your sister?" Nan Gongyan said gently, with a calm and breezy appearance, as if he didn't care.

Murong Zhi came out from the crowd. He bowed to Nan Gongyan three times before he raised his head and said, "It's true that the emperor's sister-in-law met a thief, but the thief also admitted it himself..."

Nan Gongyan squinted his starry eyes, and said in a deep voice, "What do you admit to yourself?"

Murong Zhi said one word at a time: "It is Ji Qingxue's instigation to do this to my sister, the emperor forgives the crime, I don't think this matter has anything to do with the empress, it's probably just the same name and surname."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion in the court, Murong Zhi's words seemed to justify Ji Qingxue, but in fact they pushed her to the forefront without any trace, it really doesn't take a knife to kill someone.

Nan Gongyan didn't react too much, but asked indifferently: "I'm really curious, did the thief say this himself, or did he just hear it from Murong Ying?"

Nan Gongyan has gone from "Lingmei" to calling her by her first name. It seems that he is really angry, and someone in the court today must bear his anger.

With a flash in Murong Zhi's eyes, he asked calmly, "May I ask what your majesty means?"

"Have you found the thief who underestimated Murong Ying?"

"If you go back to the emperor, no."

"Are there any other witnesses or exhibits?"

Murong Zhi paused, and then replied, "No."

Nan Gongyan's eyes were slightly cold, and his thin lips lifted: "So it's just based on the one-sided words of your servant girl?"

Murong Zhi's arrogance at the beginning was wiped out by Nan Gongyan's question, and he nodded: "Yes."

Nan Gongyan suddenly lowered his face, and said coldly: "Murong Zhi, you are the young minister of Dali Temple, and you have handled more than a hundred cases. Could it be that every prisoner sent to Dali Temple is judged so hastily by you? ?”

It was only then that Murong Zhi realized that he had done something wrong, and he was confused when he cared, because the person who had the accident was his sister, so he did not analyze calmly like he usually did in Dali Temple.

Besides, his younger sister has always been well-behaved and obedient, so she probably wouldn't talk nonsense to tarnish the reputation of others, but Murong Zhi was wrong, he underestimated his younger sister.

"The emperor's humble servant is convicted, but if something happened to his sister, the humble minister will be in chaos if he cares..."

"Concern leads to chaos? The matter of tarnishing Queen Dayan's reputation can be prevaricated with just four insignificant words? Huh?"

Nangongyan didn't show much anger, but his every word hit the hearts of everyone present, especially they didn't dare to look at Nangongyan's eyes at the moment, and they always felt cold all over their bodies.

Murong Zhi was stopped by Nan Gongyan's words, and now he was on the verge of riding a tiger, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "The emperor's servant doesn't think that the person the servant girl in the mansion said is the empress, I just explained it to you." .”

Only then did Nan Gongyan say slowly, "Bring him here."

Mu Qing escorted a few people into the Golden Luan Hall, and Murong Zhi was stunned when he saw them.

Seeing his expression, Nan Gongyan knew it already: "Master Murong, do you recognize these people?"

Murong Zhi moved his lips, but he seemed to have lost his voice, unable to utter a single word.

"Why, they are servants of your Murong mansion, Master Murong doesn't recognize you?" Nan Gongyan said to Mu Qing, "Tell Master Murong why he brought them into the Golden Palace."

Mu Qing clasped her fists in salute, and said respectfully: "Yes."

Then Mu Qing turned around and said to Murong Zhi who was still kneeling: "Lord Murong and these people spread rumors about the empress everywhere in the street, that's why I caught them."

The corner of Nangongyan's mouth was smiling, like a fire lotus blooming, graceful and graceful: "Tell me, what did you say on the street?"

The servants were immediately trembling with fright, and kowtowed non-stop: "Your Majesty, spare your life. Your Majesty, spare your life. These are what the young lady ordered the servants to do, and the servants are only following orders."

The sound of kowtowing and begging for mercy echoed in the Golden Luan Hall, Murong Zhi's face was pale, in fact, Murong Zhi was not stupid, on the contrary, he was very smart, but because his parents passed away early, he loved his sister Murong Ying too much, so he was deceived.

Just now Murong Zhi had already thought about the matter, he knew that he was being used this time, but he never thought that one day he would be used by his sister, so his chest was filled with mixed feelings.

Nan Gongyan waved his hand: "Drag these people down, since they like to gossip so much, I'll pull out their tongues, and it's useless to keep them left and right."

All the officials lowered their bodies even lower, but Murong Zhi's face was pale and he didn't know what to say.

The Xuanwei outside the hall made a gesture to Nan Gongyan, the code word of their Wushang Pavilion, which means that the person has been found.

Nan Gongyan said to Murong Zhi: "Master Murong, don't be afraid, I have found the person who bullied your sister for you, and I will definitely give you justice."

Murong Zhi couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, how long has it been?He actually found him?

Those reckless men had already been beaten so badly that their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. They didn't think that they just robbed a girl, so they entered the palace and entered the Golden Palace. They didn't know what crime they had committed.

The eyes of all the officials followed them all the time, Xuanwei pulled out a pouch from one of them and handed it to Murong Zhi: "Master Murong, please identify it, is this your sister's pouch?"

Murong Zhi confirmed it with just one glance, and Murong Ying also made him a purse, and Murong Zhi was very familiar with her stitches.

"This is Wei Chen's younger sister's purse."

Xuanwei nodded: "That's right. These few people are the culprits of frivolous Lingmei."

Xuanwei kicked it alone: ​​"Hurry up and tell the truth about what happened that day. If there is half a lie in front of Shengyan in the Jinluan Hall, you will definitely be overwhelmed and walk around."

So those few people explained everything that happened that day verbatim, the more Murong Zhi heard it, the paler his face became, and the more officials heard it, the more shocked they became.

Baiguan was almost scolding Murongzhi to death in their hearts at this moment, if they hadn't listened to his provocative words, how could they persecute Nangongyan like this?
It's too late to say anything now.
