Chapter 1010: Make Way, Don’t Be so Cheap as to Bleed.
Seeing Tantai Qingyue draw her sword, not to mention the foul-mouthed Lord Zhuo, the expressions of the others changed drastically.
Cen Guyi frowned and said in a deep voice: "What does Your Highness the Saint want to do?"
Tantai Qingyue said indifferently: "It's nothing, just killing someone... Master Cen, please give way and don't get blood all over your body."
Several people turned pale.
Tantai Qingyue is the most skilled in martial arts. Even Cen Guyi, a great Sima and the leader of military generals, can't do a few moves in Tantai Qingyue's hands.
Master Zhuo was frightened, and shouted with an angry expression: "Holy girl, I am here to follow the order..."
Before he finished speaking, the sword in Tantai Qingyue's hand had already flown out.
As if the sword had eyes, it circled around everyone, avoiding others, and accurately wiped Master Zhuo's neck, then spun back and fell into Tantai Qingyue's hand.
Lord Zhuo clutched his neck with both hands, blood gushing out from between his fingers, and a strange whooshing sound came from his throat.
Everyone else trembled all over and their faces turned pale.
Tantai Qingyue took out a white silk handkerchief and gently wiped off the blood on the sword.
Uh-huh! ! !
The sword is sheathed.
The white silk handkerchief fell into the charcoal basin and soon turned into ashes.
Cen Guyi and others' faces turned pale, and their fingertips couldn't stop trembling.
It's too easy for Tantai Qingyue to kill someone!
But this trip was mainly focused on him, and a high-ranking member of the imperial court died. He, the chief minister, could not pretend to have seen nothing.
"Holy girl, how brave are you to kill an official of the imperial court indiscriminately?"
Tantai Qingyue glanced at him and said calmly: "As a saint of Xiliang, he, as a high official of the imperial court, insults my innocence without any basis. How can I leave such a foul-mouthed and incompetent waste?" use?"
Cen Guyi said in a deep voice: "But he is a member of the imperial court after all, and he came here on orders... Even if he is wrong, he cannot be lynched?"
Tantai Qingyue looked at him and said: "I used to be in charge of Xiliang Fengyun Hall, and I often provided information to Da Sima. Da Sima should understand me and will never kill innocent people indiscriminately, unless his crimes are extremely heinous.
Does Da Sima still remember what happened during the Moon Appreciation Festival four years ago? "
Hearing Tantai Qingyue talk about the Moon Appreciation Festival four years ago, Cen Guyi's expression completely changed.
During the Moon Appreciation Festival four years ago, he brought his eight-year-old eldest son and grandson to the palace for a banquet. However, just an hour after entering the palace, his grandson drowned in the palace pond.
Later, after investigation, it was found that his grandson was not familiar with the palace and slipped and fell into the water while playing.
This incident hit him hard.
To this day, his eldest son and daughter-in-law resent him.
This was a worry of his, and Tantai Qingyue saying it at this time was simply adding salt to his wound.
Cen Guyi had a gloomy old face and said in a deep voice: "Why does the saint bring this up?"
Tantai Qingyue said calmly: "I just want to tell Da Sima that your eldest son and grandson did not fall into the water by mistake, but was pushed into the water."
Cen Guyi's head buzzed and she lost her voice: "What did you say?"
Tantai Qingyue said: "I said that the eldest son and grandson of Great Sima was pushed into the water, and the murderer was the eleventh prince."
Customer Cen's emotional control was completely out of control, "How is this possible?"
Tantai Qingyue said slowly: "Da Sima, don't worry, listen to me slowly... Do you still remember who is responsible for investigating this case?"
Cen Guyi and others' eyes fell on the dead Master Zhuo. They were all present at the time and remembered the incident very clearly... Master Zhuo was the one in charge of the investigation at that time.
Tantai Qingyue continued: "As long as you think carefully about the relationship between the Eleventh Prince and Lord Zhuo, it will not be difficult to understand why Lord Zhuo wants to protect the murderer."
Cen Guyi and others trembled.
The eleventh prince's biological mother is Lord Zhuo's daughter, and the eleventh prince calls Lord Zhuo his grandfather.
Cen Guyi had a gloomy old face, "When I entered the palace that day, the eleventh prince and my grandson were of similar age, and they were indeed playing together... How did the saint know about it?"
Tantai Qingyue said: "Did Sima forget? Four years ago I was still in charge of Fengyun Hall, so it is not surprising to know this.
If Grand Sima doesn't believe it, I still have witnesses. Two palace maids witnessed the eleventh prince pushing your grandson into the pond and drowning. "
Cen Guyi clenched his fists tightly, his finger bones turning white, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why? Why did the eleventh prince want to harm my grandson?"
Tantai Qingyue shook her head, "I don't know. The two palace ladies didn't hear clearly. They only saw the eleventh prince pushing your grandson into the pond."
"Does Your Majesty know about this?"
Tantai Qingyue said nothing and just glanced at him.
Cen Guyi understood everything. His Majesty had known about it for a long time, but the Eleventh Prince was His Majesty's son, so His Majesty would naturally choose to hide it.
Cen Guyi's old face was as pale as paper and his eyes were red, like an injured old animal.
Tantai Qingyue said calmly: "Does Great Sima still think that I shouldn't kill Lord Zhuo?"
Cen Guyi roared: "Come here!"
Several Xiliang soldiers rushed in.
Cen Guyi pointed at Master Zhuo's body and roared angrily: "This man took advantage of Ning Chen and collaborated with the enemy and treason. He deserves death... Drag him out and cut his body into pieces."
"yes!"
Master Zhuo's body was dragged out.
Tantai Qingyue looked at an official opposite and said indifferently: "Six years ago, Mr. Wu's eldest son was responsible for escorting grain and grass. As a result, the grain and grass were stolen along the way. Your Majesty was furious and beheaded Mr. Wu's eldest son.
Although Mr. Wu was only demoted two levels in a row, if it hadn't been for His Majesty's birthday, the Wu family would have been raided and executed, right?
Mr. Wu wants to know where the stolen food and grass went? "
Opposite him, Master Wu, who has a thin face and a beard, has red eyes... His eldest son is young and promising, with both civil and military skills. At the age of eighteen, he is already a member of a hundred households.
But because of an accident while escorting grain and grass, he was beheaded in public and died young.
"The saint knows where the food and grass went?"
Tantai Qingyue said: "It's all turned into money and put into Lord Zhuo's pocket.
In fact, there was no theft at all. The people who transported the grain and grass back then were Lord Zhuo's people, and the person responsible for escorting it was your eldest son. But what he didn't know was that what he escorted was not grain and grass at all, but sand and hay. "
Master Wu's eyes were scarlet, his whole body was trembling uncontrollably, and he roared: "Since the saint knew it, why didn't she tell it in the first place?"
Tantai Qingyue sighed and said: "I only discovered something was wrong when I was looking through the old cases recently. I secretly sent someone to investigate, and then I discovered that the death of Mr. Wu's eldest son was related to Mr. Zhuo."
Mr. Wu's eyes were red and he roared: "My poor son...
Someone... please crush this evil thief Zhuo Cheng to ashes. "
Zhuo Cheng, Lord Zhuo... was first cut into pieces, and then his bones were smashed into ashes.
Tantai Qingyue asked: "Do you still think Master Zhuo should not be killed?"
Master Wu clenched his fists and shouted: "Well done, thank you Saint for helping my son avenge... If it weren't for Saint, I wouldn't have known that my son was killed by this beast."
Cen Guyi stood up, leaned over and clasped his fists, "I also owe the saint a favor!"
Tantai Qingyue returned the gift and said softly: "You two adults, you're welcome!" After saying that, her eyes fell on another official.
The latter's whole body tensed up and his scalp was numb... He couldn't help but wonder if someone in his family had died at Zhuo Cheng's hands?
