Chapter 171, Hua Ji is here
"What Qin Qing said is not without reason."
Chu Zhi replied with a smile.
This was not a big deal. Since Qin and Guangdong had come forward, Chu Zhi was happy to sell him face.
"Yes, Lord Qin said so much. If you don't punish these rampant people, where is the law of my great Yan?"
The officials of the court also agreed, and the atmosphere was very lively.
But the excitement is someone else's. The official who was reciting the memorial wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, which seemed a little out of place.
"Then, as Qin Qing said, send a team of soldiers from the South Camp..."
Halfway through Chu Zhi's words, the official had to speak out.
Even though he knows that interrupting the emperor rashly is a crime of disrespect, if the emperor's will is really issued, it will be difficult to collect it.
"Your Majesty, I haven't finished reading it yet."
The man lowered his head and his tone flashed a little.
Chu Zhi was stunned for a moment, with a little suspicious eyes, and then smiled.
"Then your dear will continue to recite."
The officials looked at the ungrateful official with some bad looks.
However, the emperor spoke, and they didn't say anything, and then listened to the man continuing to recite the memorial.
As everyone's expressions became a little unnatural.
Until he finished listening to the last word, everyone's eyes shifted to Qin Guangdong.
I saw him staring wide, his mouth was big enough to stuff an egg into it.
The officials looked up at the sky, wanting to laugh, but they closed their mouths and kept silent.
At this moment, Qin Guangdong only felt that there was a saying in his heart that he would not be happy if he was selling a criticism.
I spoke righteously for a long time, but you told me that the evil man who committed the murder was my cheap son-in-law?
And his sister also became an accomplice in it? What crime of condonation and sheltering?
If the evil person mentioned in the memorial is Mu Changqing, then everything will be understood.
With his own identity and the reputation of Chang'an County, the city lord of Yangzhou City could not decide on this matter, so it is understandable that it was said that the matter was said to Tianting.
No wonder the man just now wanted to speak but stopped and even interrupted the Queen. It turned out that the crux of everything was here.
Chu Zhi was also a little surprised after hearing this. He hadn't heard this name for many days, but it was a little dazed when he mentioned it.
After glanced at Qin Guangdong in a faint way, Chu Zhi held back his smile and said.
"Qin Qing, do you still need to send soldiers from the Nanying to Yangzhou now?"
"Ahem."
Upon hearing this, Qin Guangdong couldn't help but blushed suddenly, and then he coughed twice.
"Return to Your Majesty, I suddenly feel that this matter is full of doubts."
"According to the style of the Hou's behavior in Chang'an County, we will never have a conflict with the prince of the Hou City Lord for no reason. I'm afraid there is any unknown reason here."
The old fox is worthy of being an old fox.
It was originally a case of murder, but after he said this, it became a conflict between the two parties, and the plaintiff and defendant immediately became confused.
Nodding, Chu Zhi looked at His Highness and other officials.
"What do you think of me?"
"When you go back to Your Majesty, this matter is really strange. The Chang'an County Hou is pure and kind-hearted, so how could he commit murder on others at will? I'm afraid this matter is indeed as Lord Qin said, and there is an unknown reason in it."
"Yes, Chang'an County Hou has always been friendly, so how could he do such bad behavior easily?"
A group of old foxes who have changed their minds and have been in the officialdom for so many years, and naturally they know what to say and what not to say.
"Since that's the case, I have a choice in my mind, and this matter will be settled."
"Is there any more to meet? If there is nothing to do, leave the court."
"Long live your Majesty!"
Yue Ji helped Chu Zhi to the back of the hall, and then the officials withdrew from Yanxing Hall in turn.
Queen's Bedroom.
Looking at Hua Ji who was standing in front of her silently, Chu Zhi said casually.
"Hua Ji, how long has the waiter of Chang'an County left Chang'an?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, Mu Lang has been away from Chang'an for half a month."
"Have it been so long?"
He murmured, and then Chu Zhi smiled.
"Speaking of this morning, I heard something interesting."
Hua Ji looked up, and Xue Ji, who was standing beside her, also raised her ears and waited curiously for the following.
Then Chu Zhi slowly told the story of what happened today's morning court.
After hearing this, the two women had a strange expression. Looking at the two women waiting in front of the bed, Chu Zhi asked.
"Hua Ji, what do you think about this?"
After pondering for a moment, Hua Ji replied slowly.
"Return to Your Majesty, Mu Lang's temperament is understood. Mu Lang will never attack others for no reason. I think it was because the son of the city lord offended Mu Lang or did something evil that harmed the world. Mu Lang couldn't stand it, so he attacked him."
Chu Zhi was not surprised at all when he said this. He shook his head and chuckled and then sighed.
"You, you, my heart is on your Mulang."
Then hesitated for a moment and spoke again.
"Now, all the officials of the Xu Youqian faction in Chang'an City have been eliminated. If you are worried about your Mu Lang, you can set off for Yangzhou tomorrow."
If it were usual, Hua Ji might have shirked her responsibility and expressed her loyalty, but now she has been separated from Mu Changqing for several days and has long been thinking about it in her heart, so she nodded and nodded in response.
"Your Majesty, Xue Ji also wants to go to Yangzhou and other places to see it?"
Xue Ji, who was standing beside her, looked a little moved when she heard this.
Chu Zhi slanted her and said angrily.
"Why are you going to join in the fun?"
"When will you like someone too? Even if he is at the end of the world, you want to join her, I promise not to stop you."
"Hmph, your Majesty is partial!"
Ignoring Xue Ji who was vomiting beside her, Chu Zhi looked at Hua Ji and said softly.
"When you go to Yangzhou, be careful all the way. Remember to reply to me after you arrive."
"By the way, check the Yangzhou magistrate. I always feel that this matter is not so simple."
"Sister obeys the order."
Listening to Chu Zhi's reluctant to part with his words, Hua Ji was also a little hard to give up.
Speaking of which, Hua Ji has been with Chu Zhi for more than ten years. In addition to their different identities, the relationship between the two is like sisters. Now they are suddenly separated, and it is impossible to say that it is not sad.
However, there is a person on the other side of Chang'an that makes her more concerned.
After rubbing his eyebrows, Chu Zhi said sadly.
"It's all gone, I'm a little tired."
"I'll leave."
After leaving the bedroom, Hua Ji was in a hurry and rushed back home to pack her clothes, preparing to head straight to Yangzhou as soon as tomorrow dawn.
Xue Ji felt very uncomfortable watching behind her.
"Are you so anxious to see your lover?"
Hua Ji didn't answer and continued to take steps.
"I have learned something these days. I heard that Yunqiao once held a banquet to betroth his daughter to your lover. I don't know if your lover agreed, but I remember that the little girl named Yun Zhixi seemed to have accompanied him to Yangzhou long ago."
After pausing for a moment, Hua Ji continued to walk forward.
In the dark curtain, the graceful figure gradually disappeared, and only a word of unknown meaning was left behind, carrying the Ye Feng.
Chapter completed!
