Chapter 551: Rumor Culprit
Zuo Pingdao buried his head in silence. Compared to the incident involving the Prime Minister of Tang Dynasty, His Majesty was even more annoyed by the rumors circulating among the people. After an investigation in Dali Temple, they found out the source of the rumors, which was actually caused by a group of old men.
That group of old men did not live in Sui City for a long time. They arrived a month ago, claiming to be visiting relatives in the capital. However, after some investigation, it was found that this group of people had not visited any household in the city. After Tang Xiang's incident came to light,
These people are taking action.
First, they discussed the death of Tang Xiang in a teahouse and restaurant, and then brought up the matter of His Majesty's murder of his brother by seizing his legitimate son. The people were already very interested in the secrets of the royal family. Their actions added fuel to the flames, plus the fact that Tang Xiang wrote a letter of injustice in blood before his death.
, stirring up the Sui city.
Zuo Pingdao finally found this group of people, but found that they suddenly left the capital and walked out of the city gates long ago!
That day, Dali Temple sent out men and horses to track them down. They went all the way very fast, but they completely lost their trace fifty miles away from Sui City. You must know that Dali Temple has people who are proficient in tracing, and they can follow the traces left by people, cars, and horses.
So.
But those people were obviously very good at erasing traces, and they left in such a grand manner, leaving behind the capital city that they had disturbed, and the Minister of Dali Temple who could only kneel down in the face of His Majesty's wrath.
Emperor Yuan's mind finally calmed down. He glanced at Zuo Ping who was burying his head and said, "Is he really a member of the former dynasty?"
"Although there is no evidence, some people who have talked with this group of people say that they are very knowledgeable about the affairs of the previous dynasty, and they are very popular when it comes to the emperors and empresses of the previous dynasty. The leading old man has a curly beard and obvious features.
I have already asked my subordinates to draw it."
"Send it up." Emperor Yuan raised his eyes and finally waved his hands and said: "Get up and give me a seat."
This is to be strict before benevolence. Eunuch Hong has long been familiar with Emperor Yuan's tricks. With a smile on his face, he moved a chair to Zuo Pingdao. Zuo Ping thanked him and sat down with his heavy legs.
With his body, the time spent kneeling for a stick of incense was actually nothing, but kneeling under Emperor Yuan was physically and mentally tortured. The heavy pressure was not just on his body and skin. He knew in his heart that he was under too much pressure now.
Secret, you need to be more cautious every time you face Emperor Yuan.
That group of people was suspected to be related to the previous dynasty. This alone made his hair stand on end. Thinking of what happened in Luocheng, Zuo Pingdao's eyelids drooped. The scroll had been sent to Emperor Yuan. The portrait was lifelike, except for his eyes as big as copper bells.
, most of his face is hidden under his beard.
The person in the portrait is not too old, and his figure is tall and straight, unlike an old man who has gone through many hardships and hardships.
Eunuch Hong stood aside and glanced at the portrait. Seeing that Emperor Yuan seemed to have thought of something, he closed his mouth tightly and did not dare to speak.
"Where did this group of people go in the end?" Emperor Yuan asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, they took the water route." Zuo Pingdao had to say that these people were smart. They left too many traces by taking the land route. Not only could they quickly get rid of their pursuers by water route, but they could also go in different directions by changing boats on the water.
, leaving people with no recourse.
Emperor Yuan looked at the people in the portrait, but couldn't find any impression in his mind, so he threw the scroll aside, feeling unhappy.
The Tang Dynasty Prime Minister wrote about his enemies before his death. This is true and spread from Dali Temple to the people. Later it was found that it was the work of the person responsible for cleaning.
Although Zuo Pingdao dealt with those two people, he couldn't stop the matter from being spread among the people. However, the group of people took advantage of this east wind to fabricate rumors that he wanted to kill the heroes, and suddenly connected the two things.
!
Emperor Yuan thought he had exhausted all his traps, so he used the Tianji Tu and the death of the eldest prince to push Tang Xiang into a corner. Even the final death of Tang Xiang was caused by Bai Beitang's sword. Who would have expected that the word "injustice" written in blood was a crime.
Rumors ruined all his previous efforts!
So what if Tang Xiang died, but now he can't take off the hat on his head as an emperor. There was the Chen family before him, and now there is the Tang family. The rumors among the people are getting worse and worse. There is no guarantee that those ministers will feel uneasy and think that
He wants to kill them all.
The court must be balanced. If this balance cannot be maintained one day, there is no guarantee that Dongyue will not be overthrown like Daqi. Bai Beitang has been on leave for the past few days and has obviously come to his senses. There is some resentment towards him.
, he knew it clearly in his heart.
The Bai family had never wanted to stay, but not now. Some people still wanted to kill, and it was not possible now. But now these rumors together have pushed him to the crime of killing heroes. Now how can he even give Tang Xiangluo
Sin has become a problem.
How could he not hate these people who spread rumors? If he caught them, they would definitely have their bones ripped apart. Unfortunately, they escaped!
Zuo Pingdao's men were so neat that they actually let these old immortals run away. Are they remnants of the previous dynasty? Emperor Yuan exhaled heavily.
Judging from his age, he should be around sixty years old. In the previous dynasty, he would have been in his thirties. I don’t know what position he held during the Great Qi Dynasty. If his body is indeed like his own, he should be a military general. Emperor Yuan held his hand on one side.
The inkstone, the purple gold inkstone has stars on it, which is extremely luxurious.
Eunuch Hong doesn’t know why your majesty likes to use this inkstone to hit people. This purple gold inkstone was hard-earned by King Duan as a gift to him. Last time, your majesty was the culprit of the rumors and almost smashed his head with this square inkstone.
.
It seems really lucky now. Fortunately, King Rui escaped in time, otherwise the pain would have been in vain. Wouldn’t the culprit be found?
Emperor Yuan closed his eyes slightly. He had originally waited for Tang Xiang to die and the Third Division would go through a process to issue an order and convict him. He had already thought about how to deal with the Tang family, but now the rumors made it difficult for him to deal with them!
Zuo Pingdao could guess the thoughts of Emperor Yuan, so why was he so angry at Dali Temple for failing to trace those people? He knew in his heart that it was still related to the Tang Prime Minister, and His Majesty did not want those officials to have doubts about him.
From now on, I will throw away the rat-proof weapon.
He, Dali Temple, was just implicated. He should have gone to investigate a serious case, but instead went out with great fanfare to search for the people who spread the rumors. In the end, he actually kicked the iron plate and allowed that group of people to escape!
He had doubts in his heart, why those people had chosen the timing so accurately and spread the news just after Tang Xiang's accident, or after the incident of writing injustice in blood was exposed. This just shows that these people are very concerned about Tang Xiang's case and have long been concerned about it.
Watch the movement.
You have to wait for the opportunity to act. Zuo Pingdao suspected that this group of people had already sneaked into Sui City and had many people.
At the moment, he just wants to avoid this matter and not touch Long Yan again. Emperor Yuan can let him vent his anger. Although he has these doubts in his heart, he doesn't mention a word. At this time, Emperor Yuan didn't say anything. Eunuch Hong raised his eyebrows.
, this day will be unbearable.
His Majesty has been moody recently. If there was Princess Jinhua who could accompany your Majesty to relieve his sorrows in the past, now that the princess has passed away, your Majesty does not like the ladies in the harem, and has been doing it more and more. Even he has been tortured recently.
Emperor Yuan's mind is like thunder. Recently, there are always voices in his mind. The faces of his brothers, especially his adopted brother's, appear in his mind. Are you going to kill the hero? Hum, Emperor Yuan knows who he is, and he must avenge himself.
, there is no room for even a grain of sand in your eyes.
He will not let go of anyone who humiliated him before he took power!
It's a pity that as an emperor, he can't be so wanton. He can't kill these powerful officials whenever he wants. He still needs to find the right time.
