MTL - Ci Jinzhi-Chapter 225 defect

Upon hearing what He Qingxiao reported, King Qing's eyes were filled with the desire to kill someone.

 He knew that He Qingxiao had been having trouble with him!

After hearing this, Emperor Xingyuan frowned and asked, "Why didn't you report such a big thing as soon as possible?"

"We are afraid that the man will talk nonsense and make His Majesty worried about false things. After interrogating the ministers, we sent Jinlin Guards to Dingbei to investigate, hoping to report to Your Majesty after the results are obtained."

Emperor Xingyuan's face sank: "You have to make your own decision!"

 “I will die.” He Qingxiao knelt down on one knee to plead guilty.

The date he reported for arresting the young man was quite different from the actual date, which was much easier for Emperor Xingyuan to accept. Otherwise, if Emperor Xingyuan knew that this happened many days ago, he would really be held accountable.

Emperor Xingyuan had expressed his dissatisfaction and had no intention of reprimanding He Qingxiao. He said with a cold face: "Is this person now in Fusi, Beizhen?"

"yes."

 “Bring him to me.”

 It was another excruciating wait, and the young man was brought to Emperor Xingyuan.

 “The little civil guard is evergreen, I have seen your majesty.”

Emperor Xingyuan glanced at He Qingxiao displeasedly: "Are you even punished?"

“My men were reckless. At first I suspected that this person was Xiaoxiao, so I used some tricks...”

Jinlin Wei's ability to independently arrest and interrogate was the power granted by the emperor. Emperor Xingyuan asked this question, and his attention was entirely focused on Wei Changqing.

Wei Changqing, like Zhu Xiaoyue, talked about Dingbei: "Beiquan County is very close to Bei'an County, which was hardest hit by the disaster, and the disaster was also very serious. Fortunately, although many houses collapsed in many places, most people were fine. But for some reason, although several counties have received relief materials, there has been no movement here in Beiquan..."

He Qingxiao listened to Wei Changqing talk about this again, combined with the latest news from Dingbei, how could he not understand the tricks of those corrupt officials.

There are a lot of money and materials for disaster relief. If we spend it in Beiquan County, a place where almost all the houses have collapsed but most people are fine, how much money can we make if we not only rebuild their houses but also provide them with food, clothing and warmth? And if it is used in places that are less affected by disasters, you can spend the least money, do the most beautiful things, and gain the greatest fame.

Those Wanmin Umbrellas are real, as is greed for money and money.

These people did not hesitate to kill people in order to hide the truth, and they also won the love of the people in Pingcheng and other places. There is no such ironic and absurd thing.

After hearing this, Emperor Xingyuan looked at Minister Pei coldly: "Pei Zuo, what else do you have to say?"

 Pei Shilang, who had his forehead pressed to the ground, remained motionless.

 “Pei Zuo—” Emperor Xingyuan’s voice became even colder.

The Minister of Hubu, who was closer to Pei Shilang, was a little anxious. He couldn't help but stretched out his foot and kicked it gently as a reminder. Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched him, he saw Pei Shilang's body tilted and fell to the ground.

.

The great **** Sun Yan went over to check.

“Your Majesty, Minister Pei has fainted.”

 The ministers looked at each other.

Are you fainting from fright?

 “Tell the imperial doctor to wake him up!” Emperor Xingyuan said coldly.

 While waiting for the imperial doctor to arrive, Emperor Xingyuan looked at King Qing expressionlessly.

King Qing cried bitterly: "Father, my son really did not order the massacre of the people in Taiping Town!"

Emperor Xingyuan's eyes were full of disappointment and disgust: "You are still stubborn now?"

 “I really don’t have a son! My son can swear!”

Looking at King Qing raising a hand in panic, Zhu Xiaoyue thought of the poisonous oath she swore in front of Shuntian Prefecture not long ago, and felt ironic and happy.

"Swear? Do you think this is a quarrel between common people and swearing?" Emperor Xingyuan became even more angry when he saw King Qing acting like this.

 King Qing was so frightened that he did not dare to say a word.

At this time, the imperial doctor came in with a medicine box. He did not dare to look around, let alone make random guesses. After bowing, he bowed his head and gave Pei Shilang acupuncture. Minister Pei quickly took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

  He was lying down, and what he saw was the gorgeous and complicated Yunlong caisson, reminding him of where this place was.

Minister Pei hurriedly sat up, turned over and knelt down to plead guilty: "I will die!"

Emperor Xingyuan sneered: "You are indeed dead!"

“Your Majesty, I really don’t know what these two people said!”

The stubborn mouth of a dead duck may seem ridiculous to onlookers, but when it comes to yourself, it is a survival instinct.

At this moment, a chamberlain walked in quickly and whispered a few words to the **** Sun Yan.

As one of the most trusted eunuchs of Emperor Xingyuan, Sun Yan was undoubtedly able to keep his composure. However, at this moment, his face turned pale and he even stumbled as he walked inside.

Emperor Xingyuan saw this and his expression became solemn: "What happened?"

“Your Majesty, Zhao Feifan, deputy commander of the Beijing Camp, urgently asks for an audience.”

There is a military camp stationed outside the city, called the Jingying camp, and the generals will not enter the city for a while.

As soon as Emperor Xingyuan heard that someone was coming from the capital camp, and at this sensitive moment, his heart suddenly sank: "Send him to come in!"

Soon a tall military general walked in and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Zhao Feifan, is here to see you."

“Why did Vice Commander Zhao come to the palace at this time?”

Deputy Commander Zhao lowered his eyes and cupped his hands: "Just now, Commander Wu led three thousand soldiers and suddenly left the military camp and headed north. I felt something was wrong, so I sent troops to chase him and came to report to Your Majesty."

 The general led his troops to leave the camp without any reason, which is undoubtedly a rebellion.

Wu Yanting, the commander of the Beijing camp, actually rebelled!

This news was like a huge thunder, which shocked everyone in the palace.

While King Qing was still stunned, the kneeling Minister Pei tilted his body and fainted again.

Emperor Xingyuan had an ominous premonition when he heard that Zhao Feifan, the deputy commander of the Beijing camp, asked for an audience. When he heard that Wu Yanting had rebelled, he became furious, and the reaction of Pei Shilang made this anger reach its peak.

He walked over in a hurry, grabbed the silver needle that the imperial doctor took out again, and stabbed Mr. Pei hard in the middle.

With a scream, Minister Pei woke up and also woke up the stunned ministers.

“Your Majesty, your Majesty, please forgive me—” Mr. Pei lay on the ground and cried.

Wu Yanting, the commander of the military camp, rebelled at this time, which was equivalent to confirming their charges.

 Those who can hold the post of commander of the Beijing camp are undoubtedly deeply trusted by the emperor, as is the case for Wu Yanting. He would lead his own troops to flee, apparently because he heard the rumblings in the city and knew that Emperor Xingyuan would never tolerate this, so he risked his life in order to survive.

Minister Pei was so frightened that his brain suddenly became bright and he could sort out all these twists and turns in an instant.

 But in this case, it is useless for him to deny it.

The more Shilang Pei thought about it, the more desperate he became, and his whole body was shaking.

Other ministers could not bear the terrible atmosphere and knelt down silently.

Emperor Xingyuan quickly arranged the generals to pursue Wu Yanting and related matters, and then looked at the shivering Minister Pei.

“Pei Zuo, can you plead guilty?”

“Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!”

Emperor Xingyuan no longer paid attention to Pei Shilang, and turned his cold eyes to King Qing.

Prince Qing was also shocked by the news of Wu Yanting's defection. Stimulated by the cold gaze, he came back to his senses with a jolt.

"Father, my son really didn't know anything about it!" He turned his head and pointed at Minister Pei, "They were the ones who massacred the people. They deceived the superiors and kept the son in the dark!"
