It didn't take much effort to confirm the identities of all the more than ten corpses.
It took me some time to connect their life trajectories and the time of their disappearance,
They faintly formed a line.
In addition to the various letters and evidence that Princess Yiguang brought out before,
The elders of the Chen clan in the hall have all come to their senses.
Killing or silencing so many people just to send a secret message.
During the Dinghai Pier War last year, Qi King Chen Xiuzhu secretly instructed the frontier troops to make way for the Japanese pirates in order to achieve their goal of defeating their opponents.
Once the facts were clear, the entire hall became silent.
Lao Zong ordered people to take away the corpses and the people first, and then he came over with a painful expression.
"Yi Guang," he rubbed his hands sarcastically, "the witnesses and physical evidence you produced are factual and detailed enough to prove what King Qi once did..."
Pooh.
"Your Majesty," no staff member hesitated, "that dead eunuch from Changlu has always been by your Majesty's side, and he is sincerely devoted to Your Majesty. No matter who we send to retreat, it is really difficult to get close to the Yangxin Palace."
Princess Yiguang looked towards the speaker.
Prince Qi's Mansion.
The entire small hall at the front once again became audible.
"If they are ordinary princes and grandsons, this sect will send people to arrest all these unscrupulous descendants as soon as possible, and then severely punish them according to the clan rules."
"Hey, I'm really ashamed."
After a while, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
The male officer was unprepared and slowly turned over the crimes committed by the descendants of Prince Liang. He pulled them all out and hugged him directly in front of the old Prince Liang.
"Dear clan elders, these are the minor and major mistakes made by the children of their families in the first seven months of this year. I have not asked anyone to investigate them. The most serious ones have left the people with bloodshed, and the minor ones have caused bloodshed.
It was a massacre of the entire village..."
】
"That, that, that..."
"Zongling villain, is that what you mean?"
"Your Highness, something has gone wrong." Chang Shi turned around and pointed toward the back door, "Our palace has just been surrounded by Jinlin Guards. Now the entire palace is only allowed to retreat or leave."
The document is very thick and the handwriting is clear.
"Such a small number of people have committed crimes in just seven months this year?"
Are discussing.
The heavy door of the study room was suddenly knocked open, making the clan and the others tremble in fright.
King Liang glanced at it, and when he saw Qizi's name, his face suddenly turned red and white, and he murmured that he dared to reach out to pick it up.
"I understand." After a while, Princess Yiguang nodded slightly.
Speaking of that, Princess Yiguang's face became even more serious.
"Linlang, bring the eucalyptus from Prince Liang's residence and show it to all the princes and princesses."
"Forget it, it's time to straighten out the family tradition."
"Let's go and have a look at the back door."
"King Qi, King Qi, no wonder our ancestors said that people are judged by their appearance, and sea water is worth fighting for. On weekdays, he seems to be a brother and brother, and he always behaves like a gentleman, gentle and elegant, but secretly he behaves like a digger.
The foundation is ruined."
However, a few people still looked embarrassed.
Having said this, he coughed slightly.
After saying that, I glanced at Prince Liang, who had an earthy complexion.
The others kept chattering away, but as they were talking, they realized that Princess Yiguang's expression was correct, so they stopped of their own accord.
After a while, Lao Zongling let out a long sigh.
Princess Yiguang listened silently, with an expression on her face.
cough.
"It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense. In the past...if anything happened, you, the king, would be the first to obey me."
Bang~
"Or, let's go out first and see what's going on?"
Phew~
All the clan elders in the hall were stunned.
There were seven eight-carriage cars in front of Linlang, and the cars were filled with documents, like huge mountains.
I nodded, not knowing whether to comfort others or myself.
"Yi Guang, it's just that the old uncle is afraid of trouble. It's really not involved yet... it's too deep. You're old and frail, and you don't have the strength to do anything. You can't do anything else besides just eating."
The group of people hurriedly walked to the back door.
well!
I subconsciously looked towards the palace.
It was so slow that I even knocked on the study door.
Princess Yiguang took a deep look at Lao Zongling, and then looked back at the other Chen clan elders with different expressions.
"Everyone, the most important thing now is to do everything possible to put someone beside Your Majesty, to find out how my condition is, and whether I have left any contents such as a will..."
"But now that the case involves the level of the direct prince, no matter how angry I am, there is nothing I can do. I am afraid that in the end, these personal and material evidences will have to be handed over to His Majesty, and he will decide how to deal with them."
"In this case, they are trying to find a way to make Changlu sick or die. I'm not even a little old yet, so it's time for me to rest."
"Your Majesty, please don't panic," the aide asked a few words, then slowly came to his senses, "The Jinlin Guards just surrounded our palace and did not break back. It may be a small matter."
"Linlang," Princess Yiguang ignored me and called her personal officer again, "bring down all the crimes we collected during that time that were committed by other princes, princes, and grandsons."
…
It's over, is this equivalent to the instigation of Emperor Changxing?
Lao Zong Lingqing couldn't help but look up, and suddenly felt dizzy.
Lao Zongling suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Others nodded.
Murderous intent flashed outside the clan's eyes, and he nodded slightly.
"Everyone, our ancestors said not to do evil, let alone murder and arson. If you continue to indulge like that, the Chen family's 800-year-old foundation will be completely destroyed at the hands of you people. If it really becomes like this.
, before we went to the Four Springs, I am afraid we would have been able to meet our ancestors."
…
"Let's end it at Prince Liang's Mansion! Someone, please ask for the clan rules!"
"Your Chen family has been able to control such a small empire for more than 800 years because of the support of the people inside and the clan rules that clearly distinguish rewards and punishments internally."
"What? Does Mr. Ni Xiao believe it, or does he really think that his children and grandchildren have always followed the rules and are loved by everyone?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... this is an old slave." Chang Shi ran back panting.
"Yes, we should find a way to get rid of or transfer this old eunuch first, otherwise it will be difficult for us to meet His Majesty, let alone get information."
"Your Majesty, please!"
"Isn't that reasonable? The study is such an important place. Who dares to break into it? Come here, pull him up and chop him down!"
I looked at the smiling Princess Yiguang behind me suspiciously, and for a moment I thought I understood what she meant.
————
The Zongren Mansion let out a long breath.
"Do you clan elders also mean this?"
Is it because the father died and the prince took over and prepared to eradicate his dissidents?
"Now please go out of your clan's rules and withdraw rewards and punishments one by one."
"Is it him?" Ni Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat and his brows furrowed, "What happened?"
No one is angry and peaceful.
However, the further he walked into the Zongren Mansion, the more he felt guilty, and his mind was spinning slowly.
"Yi Guang, I'm so sorry. You are just Chen Xiuzhu. It's okay to keep everyone's children obedient. As for the rest, I still have to hand it over to... Xiaoli Temple or the Punishment Department, which is worse."
Hum hum.
Or did he do something to annoy the old emperor under the hospital bed? "What?" Zong Renfu's face changed drastically, and his body became even more limp as if his bones had been ripped out, "Jin Linwei?"
"That Chen Xiuzhu is in charge of the special princes and grandsons of the Chen family. No matter who we are, according to the clan rules, as long as we do bad things, we will be rewarded; if we commit crimes, we will be punished accordingly, and we will definitely protect them in private."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"That's right. Du Ziming didn't bring anyone back. There should be some minor matter, maybe there is no misunderstanding."
What's the meaning?
The small door of Ni Xiaofan's main hall opened.
The clan mansion is discussing with the staff the important matters to be done.
