Chapter 721 slandering the court officials, the crime is unpardonable
Isn’t it interesting?
Of course it's very interesting.
Even if he is stupid, he can still see the difference in this scene at this moment. Liao Sanniang, Si Lang, Rong Sheng, and Stone Girl Bandit did not even change their surnames.
The most heated thing in the Imperial City recently is that Si Yunlang, who has been dead for more than ten years, returns to the Imperial City. Liao Zhuyin quickly reconciles with Rong Ting and wants to renew their relationship with Si Yunlang.
But...even if he didn't pay too much attention to what was going on outside, he still knew that the performance of the play was somewhat different from the original incident.
But, what do these things have to do with him?
What on earth do you want to do if you look for him to watch this scene?
Rong Xun listened to the cheers of the spectators, took a sip of tea, and smiled like a spring breeze: "Your Majesty, you don't know yet? The people who wrote this script are Miss Gu and Mr. Liao, and the ones who asked people to sing this play are Miss Gu and Mr.
Liao."
Li Chongyang paused and almost crushed the tea cup. He raised his eyes in disbelief.
Rong Xun added: "The prince wants to raise a woman. Originally, it has nothing to do with us, and we have no control over Prince Huainan's Mansion. But if he actually raises a woman, he must be taken care of, and don't come out to bite people."
This is scolding Gu You for biting people everywhere like a mad dog.
Li Chongyang's face darkened: "How did you know it was her who did it? Is there some misunderstanding?"
"There is no misunderstanding. When I sent someone to ask the prince, I found out everything clearly. Miss Gu and Mrs. Liao are really good at calculating. Others are the ones who are bad. Only they are the most innocent and pitiful. I think the most
The poor ones are my third brother and the Shi family, don’t you think so, Your Majesty?"
"Let's talk about my third brother. Liao married her voluntarily back then. In recent years, the Rong family and my third brother have nothing to say to her."
"As soon as her former lover came back alive, she abandoned her husband and son in order to renew her relationship with her lover, and blamed all her wrongdoings on my third brother. How ridiculous and ridiculous is this?"
"Let's talk about the Shi family. Although the Shi family came from a humble background, she also saved Si Yunlang's life and gave birth to four children for him. In this way, she was slandered as a female bandit with a long history of evil. This is what she wants Jingyang to do.
Should the Hou Mansion drive Shi out of the house quickly to make room for her?"
"Your Majesty, after watching this interesting scene, don't you plan to give Duke Rong an explanation?"
Li Chongyang took a deep breath, and he was so angry that his face turned green. He said: "I ask people to stop singing this play."
"That's it?" Rong Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes smiling.
"What do you want?"
"Don't you want to hear the prince say it first? The prince has said that this condition is reasonable, so I will listen to the prince. Could it be that the prince wants to hear my offer?"
"Talk about it."
"I've always been a person who only does things but doesn't talk. Does the prince really want me to come?"
At this time, the reunion between Si Lang and Liao Sanniang was already being played on the stage. The two spent time together, crying about the suffering they had endured over the years, and agreed to be together in the future.
The stage was filled with joys and sorrows, and applause and cheers came from the audience from time to time. However, some people seemed to have come to their senses, and raised their eyes to stare at the stage for a moment to see how the play would be performed next.
Li Chongyang's heart skipped a beat when he saw Rong Xun put the tea lid on the tea cup. He grabbed the tea cup in his hand and threw it up as if casually.
It landed on the stage with a loud bang.
The tea cup fell on the table and broke into pieces, and the tea splashed. The people on the stage let out a scream, and then there was chaos. Seeing this, the guests on the other side of the stage suddenly stood up. Some people ran away in panic, and some people ran away in panic.
He stood aside and wanted to see who the troublemaker was.
Rong Xun patted the non-existent dust on his sleeves, looked at the chaos on the stage, and stood up casually: "Slandering an official of the imperial court is an unpardonable crime. Take it down."
As soon as he finished speaking, officials from the Jingzhao Mansion rushed in from the door, jumped over the crowd, jumped onto the stage, and then arrested the entire troupe.
"What is this for?"
"What?"
"We are just acting, what are you going to do?"
"Singers, this opera is indeed wonderful." Rong Xun chuckled, his expression calm and gentle.
When everyone heard the sound, they turned around and looked over, only to see a few people standing in the Xuanxie, three of them were people from Duke Rong's mansion. Everyone's pupils shrank, and they understood in their hearts, as long as they are not blind,
You can also see what this scene is about.
The leader of the opera troupe changed his face and said hurriedly: "Prince Rong, what are you going to do? We are just a few common people who can sing opera. Even if the opera sounds bad to you, you can't ask people to arrest us."
Get up."
"that is!"
Rong Xun chuckled again: "Whether this opera is good or not has nothing to do with me, but it does have something to do with you singing this opera to humiliate our Rong family. As for these poor men, this is not mine.
Problem."
"I just sent someone to tell Mr. Yin Nian of Jingzhao Prefecture that someone was slandering the imperial official and wanted to smear his name and harm his life. Mr. Nian took this very seriously and sent people to arrest the culprit.
"
"That's right." The leading Yamen servant stood up, "We are acting on the orders of Mr. Fu Yin. You made up operas and slandered the imperial officials. Your Majesty ordered us to come and arrest the people."
Rong Ting is a sixth-rank official, and he is not in an important position. Among the many officials in the imperial city, he is just a small official, not very eye-catching, but he has entered an official position anyway.
The play performed by this opera troupe is really suspected of slandering the imperial officials. Isn't it reasonable and reasonable for the governor of Jingzhao to question them?
The expression on the class leader's face froze, and it turned blue and white, which was very exciting.
Doesn't he know the meaning of this scene?
Of course he knows.
But the other party gave them a lot of money to sing this opera. They were greedy for the money, thinking that even if this opera might offend Rong Guogong's government, they were all opera singers. How could this opera be used for
Really, even if Duke Rong's government knew about it, they couldn't do anything to them.
If the trouble really gets bigger, they can still say that they were forced by others and performed this act as a last resort, and ask the Duke Rong's government to find the culprit.
But who would have thought that Crown Prince Rong would not take the ordinary route and actually sent someone to invite people from the Jingzhao Mansion to arrest them and hold them accountable. Even if their crime did not lead to death, if they were convicted, they would be punished.
Prison.
Everyone in the troupe had a look of panic on their faces, they were scared out of their wits, and their faces were so pale that there was no blood at all.
After a moment, these people knelt down and begged for mercy:
"Prince Rong! Crown Prince Rong, please spare your life!"
"Prince Rong!"
"We didn't dare to do this originally, but we are just ordinary people and we really can't resist. It's all... Miss Gu from the Huainan Palace who forced us to do it!"
