Duan Xingtian, the commander of the Forbidden Palace next to His Majesty, also stepped forward and came to the thirteen people. He waved his hand and transformed into thirteen fingers to unlock the acupuncture points of the thirteen people...
Thirteen people turned sideways at the same time and stared at Lei Zheng.
Their eyes are full of anger...
Seven of them believed Lei Zheng's words: Just go ahead and do it, there will be support from behind!
They let it go, where is the support?
Master Lei, what's going on with you?
Is there something wrong with the arrangement? Or are you just playing tricks on us?
Although these people are all MMP at heart, they are very mature and would not ask questions on such occasions. They can only express their inner anger with their eyes...
Lei Zheng didn't know this. He didn't recognize the person in front of him at all. Everyone was wearing a black scarf. He himself felt very relieved. No matter who he asked, it couldn't be me...
As soon as his literary enlightenment came out, the light of literary enlightenment covered thirteen people...
The eyes of thirteen people were dull at the same time...
Lei Zheng said in a deep voice: "Are you attacking the East Palace at night?"
"Yes!" Thirteen people admitted at the same time.
"Who assigned you?"
Thirteen people answered at the same time: "Lei Zheng!"
As soon as those two loud words came out, the whole hall turned to stone...
Lei Zheng?
The person in front of them who was interrogating them, Lei Zheng?
Supervision Department Lei Zheng?
Even His Majesty opened his eyes suddenly and stared at Lei Zheng in disbelief...
Lei Zheng himself was even more confused: "Which Lei Zheng?"
"It's you, my lord!"
"Nonsense..." Lei Zheng roared...
This roar would obviously destroy Wen Dao's heart-cleansing state, but someone took action, and it was Chen Geng!
Chen Geng gently circled his hand, and a ball of literary light enveloped the thirteen people.
He also blocked Lei Zheng's rage.
Chen Geng said coldly: "Master Lei, do you want to kill people and silence them in front of His Majesty?"
Lei Zheng's hair stood on end, and he knelt down: "Your Majesty, these people are maliciously framed. I am definitely not the instigator behind the scenes. I have absolutely no..."
He kowtowed repeatedly, hitting his head on the floor tiles and bleeding, but the surroundings were quiet...
No one echoed, no one made a sound, everyone stared at him coldly...
Including His Majesty!
Chen Geng spoke: "Master Lei, these people confessed under the purification of your literary education. Could it be that you yourself have wronged yourself?"
Lei Zheng suddenly raised his head, with veins pulsing on his forehead and traces of blood on his forehead. His expression was extremely frantic. He didn't even know what was going on. He would not tell lies if he was enlightened...
His Majesty's face was as gloomy as water: "Lei Zheng, what can you say?"
Lei Zheng kowtowed heavily: "Your Majesty, I apply to lift the veils of these thirteen people and verify their identities. You will definitely gain something..."
"Yes!" His Majesty ordered coldly!
Thirteen people lifted their headscarves...
Lei Zheng's whole body was shaken, and thunder was rolling...
It's them!
How could it be them?
If it's them, it's over, completely over...
A person floated in from outside the hall, but it was Ouyang Dong, the scholar of Hanlin Academy!
Ouyang Dong knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, these thirteen people have been renting in Nancheng for a long time. We have just left their residence and obtained the image of last night's order using the art of tracing the image back to the form, and would like to show it to Your Majesty!"
"Submit!" His Majesty ordered coldly.
Ouyang Dong drew a pen across the void, and an image appeared in the sky!
The old scholar in the image gave an order in a deep voice, and the seven people in front of him responded. These seven people were all among the thirteen people in front of him...
Lei was staring at the old man who looked exactly like him in front of him, his lips kept trembling, and he had lost his ability to think...
Solid evidence!
Everyone in the place was sweating!
Because His Majesty’s face is extremely pale...
"Your Majesty, the person who gave the order is definitely not Wei Chen. Wei Chen never left the house last night. Someone pretended to be Wei Chen and gave them the order..." Lei Zheng was kowtowing again and couldn't care about anything else.
One of the ministers below took a step forward and said, "You are still quibbling after this matter? Lei Zheng, you said that someone was pretending to be you, but when these seven people heard you issue such a treasonous order, they didn't have any objections. Why? You just said, '
Operation 'Change of Heads', they immediately knew the precise regulations of Operation 'Operation Change of Heads', and why? Do you dare to say that these people are not your people? Dare you say that you did not arrange the 'Operation of Heads of Change' in detail with them in advance?!"
Zhou Zhang!
He stood up!
Once these words came out, they were too lethal...
Lei Zheng was covered in cold sweat and couldn't answer a word.
At the beginning, he was full of confidence, because no one could wrongly accuse him of anything he had never done, and he was also a person deeply trusted by His Majesty.
However, at this moment, the trump card was revealed, and he realized that things had reached a dead end.
Because the perpetrators were all people he secretly raised.
The head-changing operation was also an operation he had arranged before.
The facts are all there!
He couldn't clear up such an injustice, even if he conducted a detailed investigation, it could even be said that the more detailed the investigation, the harder it was for him to explain it. Everyone has their own activities and social circles.
, these activities, these interactions are all shady, and they are all closely related to the "Head Changing Operation", and they are closely related...
There was a bang, and a big fat man suddenly knelt down. It was Zhu Shiyun, Shaoqing of the Supervision Department...
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen knows these leaders. These people have a close relationship with Lei... and Lei Zheng. Wei Chen has seen this person many times at Lei's house! Lei Zheng calls him a relative from his hometown..."
Lei Zheng closed his eyes...
The first last hit from his side!
Zhu Shiyun, this villain will obviously not miss this opportunity to please His Majesty.
Another person came forward to report and expose. One of the thirteen people was once sent to Dongzhou by Lei Zheng. He committed a crime and was imprisoned by the local magistrate. He was assigned by Lei Zheng to rescue him, so he was deeply impressed.
…
This person is trying to reduce his guilt. Since these thirteen people have been arrested, everything must be investigated to the bottom. If he does not reveal some minor mistakes at this time, he will not be able to bear it when they are found out. Therefore, he first
Please forgive me and take the initiative to be lenient.
Followed by the third person...
The fourth person...
In the blink of an eye, the shackles on Lei Zheng became heavier and heavier...
His Majesty's face became more and more gloomy, almost dripping with water...
He took a deep breath and was about to issue an imperial edict...
Lei Zheng suddenly raised his head: "Your Majesty, I think of one person, it must be him, he must be the one causing trouble..."
"Say!" Your Majesty spat out one word.
Lei Zheng put his knees in place of his legs and moved a step: "Lin Su! Lin Su, the traitor, suddenly came to the Supervision Department the day before yesterday and warned Wei Chen that his time was approaching! And today, such a serious crime fell out of thin air...
It must be this thief who framed Wei Chen, it must be!"
His screams were so crazy...
Perhaps the word Lin Su still aroused the sensitive nerves of the people in the palace. The prince and the third prince were slightly shaken at the same time...
Even His Majesty's brows suddenly tightened...
One person stood up, but it was Chen Geng!
Chen Geng said: "What do you mean, Mr. Lei? Do you want to say that this Magistrate Lin has the magical skill of Xuanmen? Can he accurately predict all of Mr. Lei's actions last night?"
Zhang Juzheng added: "Perhaps Mr. Lei didn't want Prefect Lin's prediction to fail, so he really took action to make his deadline come, using Prefect Lin's prediction ability!"
The two first-rank officials responded with two sentences, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Everyone could see that the two of them were defending Lin Su.
However, this defense is impeccable.
The person who gives the order is you, Lei Zheng, and the person who executes the order is your Lei Zheng, and what you do is also what you, Lei Zheng, want to do.
What happened to Lin Su during the whole process?
If you pulled Lin Su out of thin air, what other purpose could there be except to distract people's attention?
Although a group of people also hope that Lin Su will be involved in this shocking incident, you can't force him to get involved. You can't pass the law, and you can't pass the two first-level officials.
Zhou Yunzhi, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty! Lei Zheng attacked the East Palace at night. The evidence is conclusive and the crime is extremely heinous. I would like to ask your Majesty to immediately hold an interrogation of the three departments to find out whether there is anyone behind Lei Zheng!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was shocked!
The Third Prince suddenly sweated on his back...
Ray is his man!
However, the joint trial of the three divisions is in the hands of the prince. If nothing happens, he will make trouble for you, not to mention that there is really something between him and Lei Zheng...
Oops, the fire is on his head!
He Jingjun, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, also took a step forward. Just as he was about to second the proposal, His Majesty interrupted him with a cold wave of his hand: "Since the evidence is conclusive, why is it necessary for the three departments to hold a trial? Come here and pass the order!"
"exist!"
"Your Majesty! Lei Zheng ordered the dead soldiers to attack the East Palace at night. The criminals are ordered to kill three generations of men!"
The whole place was silent...
Kill three generations of men?
Where is the woman? Where is the family property?
Not mentioned!
"This is it!" His Majesty said two words repeatedly, which represented the completion of the imperial edict.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
The messenger issued an order on the spot, and Lei Zheng was pushed directly out of the palace, accompanied by a loud shout: "Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused..."
Click!
Heads on the ground!
"Your Majesty, come to court!"
His Majesty's eyes moved to the third prince, his face was very cold. The third prince lowered his head to send his father off, but he still felt the chill in his father's eyes, and a cool breeze blew in his heart.
He knew that his father had protected him today!
He did not go through the process of joint trial by the three departments and directly killed Lei Zheng to protect him.
However, he also received a warning from his father!
What happened today was really outrageous!
What's going on?
He was completely confused.
Did Lei Zheng really plan this action? Or was he wrongfully accused? With Lei Zheng's death, it has become an eternal mystery.
Even the third prince was completely clueless.
Judging from all the evidence on the table, Lei Zheng is not unjust at all.
However, he knew the inside story.
He knew that Lin Su had indeed threatened Lei Zheng and told Lei Zheng that his end was approaching.
Lin Su's "end is approaching" is not something he talks about casually. It is often accompanied by an extremely precise action.
Therefore, neither he nor Lei Zheng dared to ignore it and asked Liu Jun to pick off his head.
Liu Jun did not reply, and there was no explosive news about Lin Su's murder. However, Lei Zheng's deadline came inexplicably...
Could it be said that Liu Jun failed?
Could it be said that what happened today was really planned by Lin Su?
All these mysteries were swirling in the mind of the third prince. He urgently needed to discuss it with someone, but the person to discuss it could only be Du Qing. He couldn't even mention a word in front of others.
Where is the prince?
An incident that was not particularly dangerous resulted in a moderate victory. What was the result? He captured a member of the third prince's direct lineage, which also allowed his father to fortify himself against the third prince.
These are all good things.
However, things were not very good, because his idea of taking this opportunity to completely kill the third prince failed.
The emperor himself destroyed it with his own hands.
My father vetoed the joint trial of the three departments because he did not want to make the matter a big deal.
This shows that the father is still reluctant to give up completely on the third prince...
