Chapter 246: When It Comes to Making Trouble, It Has to Be Yangling Hou

Hearing this, even the emperor couldn't help but be a little surprised. Why did both of them sue the prince and Jiang Guogong today?

"Do you know who sounded the Dengwen drum?"

The Dengwen Drum was set up for serious grievances, and no one had beaten it for some years. And it must be no small matter that the governor of Jingzhao could go to the palace to report even if he was sick.

"I heard from Mr. Lu that he is a descendant of the Qin family."

Hearing the word "Qin family", even the emperor's expression couldn't help but change, "The Qin family whose nine clans were exterminated ten years ago?"

Wang Huai nodded, and the emperor's expression changed again. After pondering for a long time, he responded: "Let the governor of Jingzhao bring the people up."

Jiang Guogong has done a lot of things over the years, and the emperor is not unaware of it, but the time has never come, which is why he has been free for so many years. Now that the time has come, he is no longer guilty of such a crime.

Duke Jiang's Mansion will definitely fall today.

Moreover, the emperor also wanted to know the grievances of the descendants of the Qin family who dared to sound the drum as a guilty minister.

Wang Huai was startled and summoned people directly to the meeting hall? It seems that the emperor is determined to eliminate a group of courtiers today.

After thinking about it, I realized that Chu Lingyuan was almost killed by the assassination. The emperor was angry and had nowhere to vent his anger. It happened that neither of them had the foresight to come here to cause trouble at this time.

But since the emperor has issued an order, Wang Huai will naturally obey it. As for how many people will be unlucky in the future, that is not something he should consider.

After a while, Jingzhao Fu Yin led Qin Luan into the main hall.

After the governor of Jingzhao saluted the emperor, he consciously stepped aside. Qin Luan, who was covered in blood, knelt upright in the center of the hall. His already thin back looked even thinner under the influence of blood.

Seeing that the courtiers kneeling on the ground were too much of an eyesore, the emperor finally asked them to get up and move away.

"Qin Luan, the daughter of the former Minister Qin Mingqi, pays homage to Your Majesty."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

The daughter of former Shangshu Qin Mingqi?

Weren't all the nine Qin clans wiped out? How can there be any daughter alive?

No, the female members of the Qin family were sent to the Land of Wind and Moon, but didn't they hear that Mrs. Shangshu committed suicide with all the female members, so what happened to Qin Luan?

"Flat body."

After Qin Luan stood up, the emperor didn't say anything for a long time, but kept looking at the slender woman standing in the center of the hall. Even though her back had long been stained red with blood, there was no trace of pain on her face. Some were just full of pain. Perseverance and stubbornness.

Such an expression reminded the emperor of Qin Mingqi ten years ago.

Qin Mingqi also had this look on his face when he was about to die.

In fact, the emperor did not believe that Qin Mingqi would do such a thing. However, the evidence was conclusive and irrefutable. In order to give an explanation to the people who died in the flood and hunger, the emperor could only ask the nine Qin family members to apologize.

After a long time, the emperor finally came back to his senses and looked at Qin Luan, "Before you tell me who you are suing, please explain to me. Since you are a descendant of the Qin family, why do you appear in Shengjing?"

Qin Luan did not hide anything, and told the emperor everything about how Yangling Marquis admired his mother, went through the sea to save him, and raised him as a concubine for ten years.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but have complicated expressions on their faces. They had to say that when it came to stabbing Lou Zi, it had to be the Marquis of Yangling, which meant that the Marquis of Yangling had died a long time ago. Otherwise, whether it was hiding the criminal or taking the criminal as a concubine, it would be enough. He drank a pot.

The emperor was not too surprised by this result. After all, the things Yangling Marquis had done over the years were more and more shocking, so it was nothing like Qin Luan's.

"Now, tell me, who are you suing and why?"

Although Qin Luan is the daughter of a guilty minister, she has already sounded the drum of news and made a declaration of life and death, so she should be allowed to narrate her so-called grievances.

Hearing that the emperor allowed himself to tell the truth, Qin Luan's eyes heated up, and he knelt down towards the emperor again and said loudly: "Back to your majesty, I am suing Jiang Guogong and the prince. First, I ordered someone to confuse my father and replace the materials for the embankment. , causing the dams to be damaged, causing countless people to suffer, and then took advantage of the disaster relief opportunity to steal the disaster funds for themselves, causing countless people to die of hunger, and then put all the charges on my Qin family. As a result, the nine clans of my Qin family were destroyed, the men died tragically, the women were humiliated, and the servants were moved away. "

As soon as Qin Luan finished speaking, Jiang Guogong immediately laughed out loud: "You girl, you are so bad at lying. Qin Shangshu is not a three-year-old child, how can you let others deceive you? What's more, back then, the Qin family in the Biaohe area I made a big mistake. In the end, the prince and I went to the disaster area to rescue the victims. Now the guilty party has become an innocent person, and the hero has become a criminal. It is simply ridiculous! "

Jiang Guogong's words expressed the thoughts of many courtiers present.

Qin Luan did not try to argue with Jiang Guogong, but looked at Jingzhao Fu Yin, "Master Lu, please bring the witness."

Jingzhao Prefecture Yin did not respond, but first looked at the emperor who was standing above him. After getting the emperor's permission, he walked out of the palace.

He is Chu Lingyuan's man, and the latter's instruction to him is to fully cooperate with Qin Luan.

Not long after, the governor of Jingzhao walked into the main hall with a dozen people in different clothes.

The ministers were even more confused by Qin Luan's operation. There were so many witnesses.

Zhou Xian took two steps forward and knelt beside Qin Luan, "Common man Zhou Xian, pay homage to Your Majesty."

Seeing Zhou Xian, Jiang Guogong and Chu Lingxiu were both subconsciously surprised.

Chu Lingxiu never expected that the person he and Tan Ji had been looking for for a long time but could not find would actually come to the meeting hall at this moment.

As for Duke Jiang, he felt a little guilty. Although he didn't know Zhou Xian's identity, he had ordered people to bring Zhou Xian back from exile, and he also instructed Zhou Xian to do many things afterwards. But Zhou Xian was the queen's man, so why did he turn against her at the last minute?

With the emperor's permission, Zhou Xian began to narrate what happened that year.

That year, Zhou Xian was ordered to be a retainer of the Qin family. Because of his unique insights and comprehensive considerations, he was highly valued by Qin Mingqi. When he went to the Qi River area to provide disaster relief that year, Qin Mingqi took him with him.

However, after arriving in the Qi River area, Zhou Xian cast an illusion on Qin Mingqi, controlling him to collude with local officials, secretly replace the materials for the embankment, and linger in brothels for many days.

Fortunately, the rain that year was really too heavy, and even the embankment was directly submerged, so the matter of replacing the materials for the embankment was not exposed.

After that, the people were displaced, and Qin Mingqi asked for permission to go to the area of ​​the Qi River again. Zhou Xian controlled him to hide most of the relief money in the farm outside the city, and only took a small amount of food and silver to the disaster area. Due to the lack of food, a large number of people starved to death.

Then, the 800-li urgent letter from the governor of Yuezhou was completely exposed.

As a retainer, Zhou Xian did not belong to the Qin family, but he was also implicated. However, he was rescued by the people of Duke Jiang after only following the exile team out of Shengjing for only a hundred miles.

After listening, Duke Jiang reprimanded again, "What control or not control, it's simply nonsense. If you really have this ability, you might as well control..."

Before Duke Jiang finished speaking, he felt his brain blank for a while, and he didn't know what happened afterwards.

However, in the eyes of everyone, Duke Jiang suddenly seemed to be absent-minded. The witness brought by the Jingzhao prefect could not help but say: "Yes! Minister Qin was always absent-minded back then!"

This time, Duke Jiang did not refute, and his expression did not change at all.

The next moment, Duke Jiang suddenly turned around and cursed the emperor directly: "Stupid emperor! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about the world, but you insist on supporting other princes to oppose him. You are simply extremely stupid!"
