Chapter 1399: 704

Except for the emperor and Kui Lang, no one knew what happened in the imperial study, only the little maid seemed to be overjoyed when he saw Kui Lang coming out of the imperial study, but there was a trace of anxiety in his brows.

Under the guidance of the little maid, Kui Lang strode away to the palace gate, feeling extremely complicated.

It was good news for him that Xiao Yi's army was under the city, but it was at this time when the Nangong Mansion was involved in a fraud case. After negotiating the terms with him, if something goes wrong with the Nangong family at this time, maybe his restoration will change again.

I have spent more than two years in Dayu Wangdu uselessly, and there must be no more mistakes in the restoration!

After leaving the palace, Kui Lang returned to the princess' residence with a heavy heart. He didn't go to see the third princess, but went directly to his study, but he didn't think that someone was already waiting there.

A young man in a blue robe was sitting by the window, sitting upright, looking at himself coldly.

When did this person sneak into the Princess Mansion quietly? !

Kui Lang's face froze, his sharp eyes fixed on the young man.

He was also a fierce general who fought on the battlefield. From the sitting posture, aura, and the details of his body, he could tell at a glance that this young man was a soldier from the army, and he had seen a lot of blood on the battlefield.

And the other party is definitely not from Baiyue.

Is this person an enemy, a friend, or...

Kui Lang's thoughts flashed past, and he was on guard, but he didn't make a sound to alarm outsiders.

"Don't come here is useless." Tian Detao said coldly.

As a native of southern Xinjiang since he was a child, Tian Detao has no affection for Baiyue at all, let alone the eldest prince Kuilang who took the initiative to provoke a war between the two countries. He deliberately and mockingly called him the Concubine.

This is the Dayu Nanjiang accent! Kui Lang thought of the people who came from the southern border today, and immediately guessed who the other party was. He was overjoyed and said impatiently, "Please rest assured, I will definitely comply with the conditions that I promised the prince last time."

Tian Detao looked at Kui Lang with a blank face, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and said, "I am sending a message to the concubine at the order of the prince, our prince heard that the Nangong family has been very unhappy recently, and the prince is not in a good mood. it is good."

His tone sounded flat, as if he was just gossiping, but there was clearly a threat between the lines.

Kui Lang's heart sank, his face hardly tense. Not to mention Xiao Yi, an unknown soldier would dare to speak to him like this. If he had been in Baiyue before, Kui Lang would have killed this person with one sword to boost his military might. But today is different from the past. Now I have requests from others, and I can only swallow it.

Kui Lang took a deep breath and said, "Come on, I'm just a proton in the capital now, and some facts are just powerless."

Tian Detao laughed, Shi Ziye and Marquis Anyi knew best about Kui Lang's virtues, and they knew more about his activities with Duke Gongjun.

He stood up abruptly, and said rudely: "Master Shizi said that Ruijiang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it lasts for a long time, it will not be good for our Southern Border Army. In addition, he is in a bad mood now, so he can only retreat for the time being. Presumably the emperor I can also understand the difficulties of Lord Shizi.”

Kui Lang's pupils shrank sharply, and he almost shouted out.

His face was so gloomy that water was about to drip, and his eyes were getting darker and darker. He looked at Tian Detao, who was two feet away. !

Silence spreads in the study...

After a while, Kui Lang finally clenched his fist and said sternly: "Please come and give me a few days of grace. I will try to deal with it." His expression was still uncertain.

Tian Detao doesn't care what Kui Lang thinks, as long as he achieves his goal.

He casually clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll leave." With his hands on the window sill, he flew out quietly, and no one disturbed anyone when he left...

Kui Lang remained motionless and stood there, staring blankly at the empty window, his eyes as deep as a bottomless abyss.

For him, nothing can be more important than Baiyue, Baiyue is his country, his foundation.

Now that Baiyue's throne is almost at his fingertips, other "trivial" things can be put aside for the time being.

Anyway, the life and death of the Nangong family is not important to him at all, so Xiao Yi, who offended him because of this, is a big loser.

It seems that he is going to go out!

Kui Lang had an idea in his heart, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.

An hour later, Kui Lang took the third princess out of the princess mansion, and a group of carriages and horses went out of the mansion in a mighty manner. Everyone in the mansion knew that the concubine was going to accompany the third princess to visit several imperial brothers.

After leaving the mansion, the carriages and horses headed for the Prince Gong's mansion with a clear goal...

...

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and this good news from the southern border caused waves and ripples in this lifeless capital.

The next morning in the morning, the atmosphere of the entire Golden Palace was refreshed because of this good news. No one was so stupid as to touch the emperor's bad head. At this time, he would bring up the case of fraud. Various songs and merits against the emperor were heard one after another in the court hall. It was as if the person who personally led the troops to attack the capital of Baiyue was the emperor.

The emperor was greatly benefited by hearing this, and only felt that Da Yu was now prosperous and prosperous, and the national strength was growing stronger, killing the surrounding barbarian small countries without the power to fight back.

After he passed away, even if he didn't get the title of ruling the world, he would still be worthy of the first emperor under Jiuquan.

Before the early dynasty was over, the news of the Great Victory in the Southern Border had already spread throughout the entire capital, and even the ordinary people were discussing this matter enthusiastically, with radiant faces on their faces, all with honor, and everyone praised the emperor. He has made great achievements in governing the country, and the Prince of Zhennan is a martial arts star descended from the sky, so he is invincible in attack and invincible in battle, which makes the barbarians from all over the world feel terrified.

Streets and corners, pergolas on the street, teahouses and restaurants... all are said to be lively.

In a teahouse in the south of the city, some students spontaneously gathered there to discuss current affairs with their own opinions.

"Happy! It's really happy! The southern Xinjiang army has hit the capital of Baiyue, and it really shows my great wealth and national prestige!" In the center of the lobby on the first floor, a scholar in a lake-colored robe said aloud, and picked up a glass of water and wine and held it high. Said, "Xiaosheng respects the Prince of the Southern Prince and the Southern Border Army!"

After speaking, he drank the water and wine in his hand, and seemed to have a somewhat heroic and uninhibited temperament.

Other scholars and scholars also responded, and several people also picked up the wine glasses and drank them all.

Immediately afterwards, another middle-aged scholar in Tsing Yi sighed: "The prince of this town's Nan Wang really has the style of his ancestors. He has repeatedly defeated Baiyue and Nanliang, and now he is even approaching the capital of Baiyue. The general protects my great frontier, and the frontier is safe!"

"What this brother said is." An old pedant wearing a gray straight jacket said at the next table, "That Xiao Shizi is invincible and can be called a famous general in the world, enough to be biography."

The so-called famous general should not only have the ability to be invincible, but also have enough deterrent power. Once the enemy hears his name, even if he has a million heroic divisions, he will be frightened, and he will retreat.

This point, whether it is the fallen Guan Ruyan, or the current Prince Zhennan, is well-deserved.

Many tea guests nodded their heads again and again, and their hearts were full of sympathy. The old man stroked his beard and continued: "There is a truth, a worthy husband and wife, I heard that after the prince and concubine of Zhennan returned to the southern border with the prince, they were in the southern border. He has also done a lot of things that are beneficial to the country and the people, this Nangong Mansion is worthy of a century-old family, and the daughter he taught is naturally different from the ordinary inner house woman."

"As the saying goes, it takes ten years to cultivate trees, but a hundred years to cultivate people. The Nangong family is a century-old scholar family, so it's not ordinary." The middle-aged scribe also responded with admiration, and then thought of something, "I heard that the Nangong family's The second daughter has recently lost her righteousness with that unkind and unjust husband, it's really good!"

"The daughter of the Nangong family is still like this. It can be seen that her father and brother are both handsome gentlemen. It's a pity..." The scholar in the lake-colored robe sighed faintly.

He didn't explain what he said, but recently the fraud case has made waves again, and it has caused a lot of trouble in the city. Everyone knows what he is "pity"...

The teahouse suddenly became quiet, and everyone's heart was a little heavy.

It is probably the most embarrassing thing in this world that the villain is successful, and the good person is wronged, but in the face of power, what can ordinary people like them do? !

In the silence, a brown-robed student stood up suddenly, attracting a lot of attention in the hall.

I saw his eyes were red with grief, pain, and struggle. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he had made a decision, and said resolutely: "Lord Nangong is so upright and honest, and the Nangong family is our literati. He is a role model, I shouldn't have done this... I, I am a sinner, not worthy of reading the book of sages!"

He said it in a topsy-turvy manner. Hearing that, many tea guests were confused and looked at each other, and could only vaguely guess from certain key words that this person seemed to have done something wrong to the Nangong family.

The brown-robed student became more and more excited as he spoke, with blue veins bulging on his forehead, and said loudly, "Actually, it's not Lord Nangong who leaked the question, but Prince Shun!"

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a thunderstorm hit the ground, causing everyone in the restaurant to be buzzing in their ears, and they couldn't believe their ears.

I don't know who blurted out: "Isn't Duke Shun the Second Prince His Highness?!"

After the words were finished, the whole audience was roaring, and a scholar eagerly asked: "Are you a student of the Imperial Examination? This matter is of great importance. How did you find out if you were just a student?"

"I'm the one who failed the ranking." The brown-robed student sighed ashamedly, and said with a red face, "It was a waste of me to study the book of sages and sages, but for the mere small gain, I was bought by the king of Shunjun... I can't Wrong again! I will now go to Jingzhao Mansion to beat the drums for Lord Nangong to plead for injustice!"

In the eyes of the tea guests, who were either surprised or suspicious, the brown-robed student strode out of the teahouse, his back as firm as a pine and cypress.

The tea guests in the lobby immediately stood up, greeted each other and followed, and the team went all the way to Jingzhao Mansion...

Half an hour later, the Dengwen drum in front of Jingzhao Mansion was beaten, and the brown-robed student who called himself Liu Wenhui kept saying that he was impressed by the integrity of the Nangong family, and that he did not want to help Zhou's abuse, which made the students all over the world chill. He confessed that it was Han Ling, the king of Shun County. Guan ordered him and his friend Deng Tinglei to incite among the students to slander Lord Nangong, and Deng Tinglei even hit the wall and died.

His words are eloquent, and every sentence is sensational, making everyone who hears it full of righteous indignation.

How dare the governor of Jingzhao dare to be careless, no matter what the secret behind this, all he has to do is to hand over the case file to the imperial front as soon as possible.

The emperor was immediately furious, and on the same day, Han Lingguan, the king of Shunjun, was brought into the palace to accept the emperor's questioning.

"Snapped--"

The emperor directly threw the case file handed over by the governor of Jingzhao to Han Lingguan, and said coldly, "Nizi, what else do you have to say?!"

Facing the emperor's thunderous anger, Han Lingguan was still at a loss. After he picked up the case and read it, his eyes widened and he could hardly believe his own eyes.

How is this possible? !

No matter how surprised Han Lingguan was in his heart, he could not recognize this crime.

If this is recognized, even if he is a prince, he will not have to worry about his life, and most of his life will be missed from the position of the supreme. Even if the father and the king are "forgetful" enough, the students all over the world will keep this matter in their hearts.

"Father, my son has been wronged! My son and Liu Wenhui don't know each other. I don't know why this person is slandering my son. His words have no basis. Father, you can't believe such a villain's words!" Han Lingguan bites Grinning his teeth, he refused to admit it.

The emperor squinted at Han Lingguan, his sharp eyes almost penetrated him.

Of course, the emperor did not want the prince to be involved in the fraud case. This was a major scandal in the royal family and a major stain on his political performance.

Han Lingguan walked forward on his knees, kowtowed deeply, and said earnestly, "I hope the father and emperor will investigate thoroughly, and my son will be innocent!"

The emperor said coldly: "Of course I will find out!"

On this day, Han Lingguan knelt down until the palace gate was locked before leaving.

Afterwards, the Dali Temple, which took over the fraud case, ordered a strict trial of Liu Wenhui. This person confessed that it was Su Zongyuan of the Su Mansion who instructed him to behave. After searching the Su Mansion, they found an account book and some dark secrets from the secret compartment of Su Zongyuan's study, including the handle of Mr. Hao who hanged himself a few days ago.

The truth of the matter has been revealed.

It was precisely because the Prince Shun got the wrong place that Mr. Hao pretended to commit suicide because of fear of crime, and left "clues" to frame Nangong Qin.

The adults in charge of investigating the case were all terrified. The Prince of Shunjun usually acted like a virtuous king, but he didn't expect to stir up the wind and rain so secretly.

I don't know if the Nangong family offended him, or... Thinking of the fifth prince in the palace, several adults felt that they had guessed something.

The most angry person was undoubtedly the emperor. Although he had long suspected that this time he was a little bit wrong, he never thought that he would dare to do such a rebellious thing and harm the court.

The emperor was so angry that he was almost furious. After Gonggong Liu ordered the soothing incense, his mood gradually eased, and he summoned Han Lingguan again to enter the palace.

As early as when Han Lingguan was summoned by the emperor for the first time, he guessed that he should be framed by someone. Although Liu Wenhui was from Han Lingfu, at first, Han Lingguan thought that he and Han Lingfu were both being plotted, but the matter developed to this point, even his father-in-law and brother-in-law were involved, but Han Lingfu was unscathed, Han Lingguan Finally, I can be sure that the person who framed and plotted against him was his good imperial brother——

Han, Ling, Fu!

Han Lingguan knew for a long time that Han Lingfu was untrustworthy, but it was only because the two had a common enemy that they could temporarily form an alliance, but he did not expect that the enemy had not fallen yet, so Han Lingfu had already started to eradicate dissidents before he was on guard!

Thinking about it, Han Lingguan really wanted to slash Han Lingfu with a thousand knives.

However, it was too late. This time, the emperor's actions were so fast that it was too late for him to make any preparations.

Under the escort of Jin Yiwei, Han Lingguan came to the imperial study again and came to the emperor's imperial case.

At this time, even if Han Lingguan refused to admit it at first, he had to bow his head in front of all kinds of "conclusive" evidence... Even if he wanted to put all the guilt on the Su family, it was obvious from the emperor's appearance. would not believe it.

Based on his understanding of his father, it would be better to provoke Shengyan than to...

He gritted his back molars, bowed his head humbly and said, "Father, my son is guilty."

Six words, a final decision.

The emperor picked up the ink stick on the side and threw it out without hesitation. At this moment, Han Lingguan just raised his head and wanted to say something. The ink stick hit his forehead. The ink stick fell on the marble floor, leaving some ink stains and a red mark on Han Lingguan's fair forehead, which seemed shocking.

Han Lingguan endured the pain and said again: "Father, although the son is guilty, the third brother is also guilty. This matter was planned by the third brother, and the son was just an accomplice..." Of course Han Lingguan was not reconciled to letting go of the real one. The culprit, how to fight for a fish to die and a net to break!
