"Open." Emperor Wanlong took a deep breath and said word by word.
Xiao Baisheng broke the seal of the long box, and His Highness and the officials could not see what was in the long box. When Emperor Wanlong took out something from it, the officials saw that it was a letter or account book, and they did not know how important it was.
Emperor Wanlong randomly selected a few letters and read them. As he read more and more letters, his face became colder and his hands trembled slightly.
After reading a secret letter, Emperor Wanlong stood up and swept the tea cups, plates and bowls on the desk beside the dragon chair to the ground with his sleeve.
The sound of breaking cups and bowls seemed to resound from the hearts of all the officials, like thunder, and all the civil and military officials in the court fell to their knees in cold sweat.
Emperor Wanlong walked down the Long Court, the letter in his hand was almost crushed into a pile of waste paper, his face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with cold light, and he looked at the civil and military officials in the hall coldly.
"Your Majesty, where do these letters come from?"
Li Xuanci had known the seriousness of the matter, so he hurriedly recounted the whole story in detail, then kept quiet and did not dare to say more.
"So you have read all these letters?" Emperor Wanlong asked coldly.
Li Xuanci felt a chill in his heart and said hurriedly: "To inform my father, I have only read a few letters. Knowing that this matter is a serious matter, I did not dare to delay any more, so I kept these letters in envelopes with Mr. Nie. There are no more later ones."
look."
At the end of the sentence, Li Xuanci's voice was already weak, for fear that Emperor Wanlong's anger would be directed at him.
"Okay, that's great. It's all on me. It's really great."
Although Emperor Wanlong kept saying good things, the murderous intention in his words only increased, and he was obviously really angry. "This brother of mine really died well."
As soon as these words came out, the chills in the hearts of the civil and military officials became even more intense. It seemed that there was a huge and shocking change hidden behind the death of Little Fortune King.
Emperor Wanlong was pacing back and forth, suddenly looking at Li Luo who was silent, and said bitterly: "I promised you an inspection department and asked you to inspect the world for me, but you should tell me how many inspections you have made over the years.
What a name!" After saying that, he threw the letter in his hand onto Li Luo's shoulder and looked at Li Luo angrily.
Li Luo unfolded the letter and took a brief look at it. Naturally he knew the truth of the letter. He coughed lightly and turned pale.
"Li Luo, tell me, are you plotting against me?" Emperor Wanlong roared.
"I don't dare."
"Don't you dare!? If you don't dare, then you are a mediocre person!"
"Father, this matter actually has nothing to do with Ninth Brother." Li Xuanci said bravely.
Emperor Wanlong glared at Li Xuanci. Li Xuanci was shocked and lowered his body and did not dare to say anything.
Emperor Wanlong's chest rose and fell rapidly, and he shouted: "King Mu."
"I'm here."
"You and the King of England and Dali will investigate this matter thoroughly for seven days. If nothing is found, come to see us."
"I obey the decree." Li Chengwen glanced at Li Xuanci and Nie Fenghong, who had bitter expressions on their faces, and had no choice but to comply with the imperial decree.
"Retire from the court." Emperor Wanlong waved his sleeves and left Changming Palace without looking back, leaving all the officials in the palace looking at each other, wondering what shocking secret was sealed in the long box.
Without saying a word, Li Chengwen took the long box from Xiao Baisheng. Without speaking to anyone in the palace, he winked at Li Xuanci and Nie Fenghong and hurried out of Changming Palace.
Li Xuanci and Nie Fenghong glanced at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes. They gathered their minds, bowed to everyone in the hall, and left in a hurry.
No wonder I didn't see Li Xuanci and Nie Fenghong in the late court. It turned out that there were other important matters.
The three of them left the palace. Lu Suifeng and Zhai Liaoyu were also called over by Li Xuanci. Unexpectedly, they talked with the officials. Only Li Luo in the Changming Palace knew the reason.
Li Xuanying took a step forward and asked in a low voice: "Ninth brother, what happened?"
Li Luo opened his mouth, smiled tiredly and said: "Fourth brother, please forgive ninth brother for being rude. I can't talk about this matter. We will see the result in seven days."
Li Xuanying said oh, he didn't force Li Luo, and he also understood that if he asked Li Luo, he probably wouldn't be able to tell, maybe it was just a show.
The storm was about to come, and suspicions, worries, and fears filled the court hall. Unexpectedly, the case of Yang Wanli would also involve a shocking change. The case of Zongbo, which had made everyone inside and outside Zhuocheng aware of it, would be left aside like this.
, no one pays attention to it, just someone wants to bring up the old things again, at this time it is not much different from seeking death.
Although it was a bit boring, everyone in the court was in danger, and there was a vague feeling of being in danger.
Huchadongchan was also kicked out of the palace, and Jiecheng was placed under house arrest again.
Hucha Dongchan smiled coldly without leaving any trace, and followed Li Luo back to the abandoned building in the east of the city.
Abandoned Minglou, facing the courtyard, in a secret room.
Yin Mohuai yawned again and again, and asked a little sleepily: "So it's okay?"
"That's right."
"Haha, the emperor seems to be blaming you, but the civil and military ministers of the court only let you take a look at the secret letter, intending to make you prepare in advance. As expected, he treated you very kindly."
"This game is a bit cruel." Li Luo sighed.
Yin Mohuai did not comment and said calmly: "It's true. Since someone dares to do it, there's no such thing as cruelty. Let them investigate. It's a pity that in order to get Mu Tianlang away from the incident, he has to go to Jicheng."
I have been raising this piece of fish bait all these years in vain.”
"It's a pity, but it's nothing. As long as we can solve Zhuocheng's current crisis, we can only abandon him."
"This is indeed nothing, but now you are showing your sharpness. Although all the signs have nothing to do with you, these people in Zhuo City will probably guess that you are just clever.
In addition, what Emperor Wanlong said in the court hall was remarkable. I am afraid that the emperor has already suspected that it was you who did it. If not, you would not be the candidate to investigate the case.
In this way, the people behind this matter will definitely be more wary of your methods, and it will be more difficult to deal with them in the future."
Li Luo smiled faintly: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight when the boat reaches the bridge. If it is harder, it will be harder. If it is too easy, wouldn't it make Brother Yin a little bored?"
Yin Mohuai smiled softly, his expression cold, but he couldn't hide the proud look between his eyebrows.
The world is full of vicissitudes, and in Yin Mohuai's eyes, they are just chess pieces.
In the past seven days, the situation in Zhuocheng City could not be described even in terms of the chaos or the chaos. The chaos caused by Shangzheng Yamen that day was simply nothing compared to this moment.
Everyone in the bureaus and bureaus was in danger because Emperor Wanlong in the court had made a plot against the emperor. No one could escape death if he was allowed to do so.
There is no airtight wall in the world. After three days, a few words gradually spread among a very small circle. This time, Li Xuanci and Nie Fenghong happened to find out something that was related to the life and death of Emperor Wanlong.
