Chapter 891: Battle in the Palace III

Fang Dan was carried by someone, and his limbs could not move, so he could only say to Zhao Heng in the Golden Palace: "I cannot salute you, please forgive me."

When Zhao Huan saw Fang Danlai, he hurriedly said, "Today, the Auxiliary King wants to ask you something. Since you are inconvenient, you don't have to worry. The Auxiliary King will not treat you anything. You just ask a few words, and you will answer truthfully."

There was a hint of warning in Zhao Huan's words, which was to let Fang Dan let go and not be afraid of Chen Ao and torture.

Fang Dan said, "I obey the order."

Chen Ao also made it straight to the point, moved a chair and sat in the dark of His Highness Jin, and asked coldly: "Who is Your Highness?"

Although he asked, his words were very cold, and Fang Dan couldn't help feeling a little pressure. Fang Dan replied: "The Duke of Xiaguan Ruiguo is the one who eats it."

Chen Ao said lightly: "Chang Dan, I ask you, the coffin of the late emperor has arrived in the capital. Have you brought 30,000 imperial guards out of the city?"

Fang Dan said, "The officials are following the orders."

Chen Ao smiled even colder and said, "Since you are following the order, you said that you were following the order to attack the Shen party outside the city, and you also said that I am a thief. Your Majesty has already issued a secret order to kill you. Is this true or false?"

Fang Dan was a short time to say something, but he was not a fool after all. Now, he must not involve Zhao Huan. He quickly decided: "The officials are just talking and joking."

"Just?" Chen Ao sneered: "Are you talking about joking or falsely passing on the imperial edict?"

If you admit it, it is to let Zhao Huan break up openly with Chen Ao. Given Zhao Huan's current situation, I am afraid that Zhao Huan's throne will be lost, and the heads that he or she will be killed will fall to the ground. But if you don't admit it, they will rely on a fake imperial edict, and Fang Dan's only choice is only one: "The officials are just talking and joking."

Chen Ao snorted coldly and said, "Have the imperial edict and laugh with the emperor?"

Fang Dan said, "The emperor is really joking, and he has no other intentions. He is in Bianjing. He has long heard that His Highness is funny, so he joked with His Highness on the grounds that it is the emperor Menglang, and asks His Highness to punish him."

Chen Ao said angrily: "You still want to deny it?"

Fang Dan just got Zhao Huan's hint and knew that Chen Ao could not punish him. Besides, this is a martial arts palace, and the emperor was watching. Even if Chen Ao has great courage, he always had to pay attention to some influence and not go back on his word. At this time, he calmed down and could not let go of his words. Then he said: "The lower officials are not refusal. Your Majesty relies on the auxiliary king. He repeatedly told the lower officials that the auxiliary king has the talent of the world, and that the governing and safe country all depend on the auxiliary king. I would like to ask His Majesty that he said these heart-to-heart words, how could he issue an order to abuse the auxiliary king as a rebel? As a royal relative, he was a little proud and said the wrong thing. Please forgive your highness."

A trace of cunning flashed in Chen Ao's eyes and said lightly: "Just say the wrong thing? I think you are unwilling to admit it. Since that's the case, come and bring the witness in."

All the civil and military officials of the court, including Zhao Huan, never thought that Chen Ao even found the witness. Zhao Heng had a bad premonition at this moment. Chen Ao was obviously just a point of being so mean, and he was prepared for it. Could it be that there was really a solid evidence?

But before this, Zhao Huan had already announced in front of many people that Chen Ao Yu Shen, and even the Empress Dowager had invited him. Even if he turned back, it would be too late.

After a while, two wolf-like lieutenants came to take a veil. Zhao Huan looked closely and said, "He is my...my..."

Chen Ao looked back coldly and looked at Zhao Huan, saying, "Your Majesty just said that I will let the king judge the emperor, even Your Majesty is not allowed to interfere. You have no jokes. Could it be that Your Majesty wants to repent?"

Zhao Huan felt the murderous gaze in Chen Ao's eyes, so he had to swallow half of the words back into his stomach.

Chen Ao looked at the inner shi and said coldly: "Say, what's your name?"

"Slave Liu Jin." Liu Jin was also caught by the captain in the palace in a confused manner. There was no news in advance. At this time, when Chen Ao looked at him coldly, he was so scared that he felt cold behind his head. How dare he hide it?

Chen Ao continued, "I ask again, where did you do things in the past?"

Liu Jin said: "I once followed His Majesty in the East Palace."

"So you are your Majesty's confidant?"

Liu Jin didn't dare to say anything anymore and looked at Zhao Huan carefully.

Chen Ao continued, "The king asked you, where did you go and who did you meet on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month of the third year of Xuanhe?"

Hearing the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month of the third year of Xuanhe, Liu Jin thought for a moment, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said, "I forgot..."

Chen Ao sneered, "Forget it? No, you will forget about such a big thing? Are you easy to bully me? Someone..."

The lieutenant took out a small dagger from his waist without hesitation, thinking that he was prepared for it.

The martial arts hall has never allowed to bring weapons to the temple. Except for the Shangfang sword given by Chen Ao, he has never broken the rules for a hundred years. At this time, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked when they saw it. Zhao Heng almost fainted. Qiqi said: "You, the King of Governors, you...you..."

"Stop!" Chen Ao stood up suddenly and shouted sternly: "Who dares to say more, kill you without mercy!"

No one had ever thought that Chen Ao would burst out with such anger at this time, and no one dared to speak for a moment, throwing all the ancestral laws and rules out of the sky.

"Test the punishment!" Chen Ao shouted.

The two lieutenants did not say anything, one held Liu Jin and the other grabbed his hand directly, spread his hand hard to the ground, stepped on it with his feet, stretched out Liu Jin's food pointing out, and chopped it hard with the dagger on his hand. Liu Jin roared shrillly, blood splattered, and a piece of finger had been cut off.

Such a scene scared the Empress Dowager very much, but the Empress Dowager had seen strong winds and waves after all. After all, she looked at Chen Ao with a deep look and knew that Chen Ao must have intentions, so she would not say a word.

As for Zhao Huan, only his body was like a sieve.

Chen Ao asked again: "Tell me, on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month of the third year of Xuanhe, where did you go and who did you meet?"

Liu Jin gritted his teeth, and was in great pain, and said vaguely: "I... I forgot!"

Chen Ao sneered again: "Did you forget it? OK, then the king will ask someone to remind you, come and bring a second witness."

A good Duke of Shen Rui, who was so cautious, made everyone dizzy. He didn't know where Chen Lengzi was aiming at his sword. However, when the second witness was brought, the palace was in an uproar. Many people knew this witness. This person had practiced elixirs for the late emperor. Before the late emperor died, there was a long time since the imperial physician who had vaguely revealed that the death of the late emperor was related to this elixir.

Many people realized that they were judging Duke Rui, but they were asking about the murder of the late emperor. It seems...

Those eyes fell on Chen Ao. Chen Ao's face was ferocious, like an angry lion, with red eyes pressing the hilt of the sword around his waist. He stood in His Highness, looking holy and inviolable, making people unconsciously afraid.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but stand up suddenly, her mouth trembled, and pointed at the warlock and couldn't even spit out a word. She must have moved too much. Jingde, who was beside her, looked at her and quickly supported her.

Zhao Huan's Adam's apple rolled, and he looked out of incredible eyes. He suddenly woke up, as if he had understood something, and he collapsed on the imperial throne.

Chen Ao's eyes swept over the warlock like a knife, pointed at Liu Jin, and asked the warlock sternly: "Do you know this person?"

The warlock turned his head and carefully identified Liu Jin, saying, "The villain recognizes it."

Chen Ao asked, "What's your name? Why do you recognize him?"

The sorcerer said: "The villain Huang Ting, a native of Hejian Mansion, is a fellow townsman named Liu Wu in the palace. When I saw that I was in a down-and-out position, I said that I had a wealth and honor to give it to me. I ate lard and couldn't find any karma, so I agreed. Later, Liu Wu gave me 100 stale money, but he didn't ask me to do anything, but asked me to practice in a Taoist temple. After a full year, I came to find me again..."

Chen Ao said impatiently: "What I want to ask you is what happened to Liu Jin? When have you seen him?"

Huang Ting was so scared that after torture, he became honest and did not dare to hide it at all. He said, "On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month of the third year of Xuanhe, Eunuch Liu Wu looked for me and said that a noble man wanted to see me, so he took me to a mansion and saw this father-in-law. This father-in-law gave me a secret recipe, saying that he wanted to support me, and that he would go to the late emperor to do things in the future and would have endless wealth and honor..."

When the matter came to this point, the truth was already out, and the whole palace suddenly became an uproar. The late emperor turned out to be really poisoned, and many ministers couldn't help but burst into tears.

Chen Ao's eyes fell back to Liu Jin and said, "So, did you instruct the poison to kill the late emperor?"

Liu Jin was already out of his body at this time, and was so scared that he was both scared and quickly denied, "No...No..."

Chen Ao sneered: "Where is someone instructing you behind you?"

Liu Jin secretly glanced at Zhao Heng, shook his head and said, "I... I don't know..."

"Don't you know? The mastermind who poisoned the late emperor was the crime of tyranny of the king. I have investigated that you are from Yingchang Mansion, and you have parents at home, two brothers, two brothers, seven children, and six nephews. In addition to these, your distant relatives and neighbors are among the nine clans. Not only will you be punished by cutting into pieces, but any kinship with you is the crime of splitting the car. If you confess and lenient and tell your people, I will only kill you, but if you resist to the end and follow the rules, you will destroy your whole family."

Liu Jin was so scared that he passed by.

Zhao Huan in the Golden Palace woke up at this time and couldn't help but shout: "Don't judge...Don't judge..."
