Chapter 387 Argumentative

Author: Leng Qingshan

In an instant, the entire Dayan Temple fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the indigo figure. Although everyone's eyes were blazing and almost burst into flames when they came together, the eyes that met him were cold and calm, without even a trace of emotion.

He watched with excitement as Ji Hong walked step by step and walked heavily in front of her.

Shang Ruyi raised his hand and bowed respectfully to the old man in front of him: "Meet Mr. Ji."

Ji Hong's turbid eyes stared at her, not only with hatred, but also with a kind of deep pain that could not be concealed. He sneered and said: "It is advantageous for you, but I am here today to ask you for guilt."

"..."

"Your Majesty, how did you die!?"

"..."

"is that you--"

"Ji Gong!"

Before Ji Hong finished speaking, a heavy voice suddenly interrupted him. Ji Hong's eyes turned cold and he raised his head. Unexpectedly, he saw Sheng Guogong Yu Wenyuan walking toward him with a frown on his face.

He said: "How can Ruyi afford what Ji Gong said? Today's Dharma meeting is for the late emperor, so Ji Gong should wait until the Dharma meeting is over before asking for the reason."

Ji Hong sneered and said: "What Duke Sheng Guo said makes me wonder. The cause of His Majesty's death is unknown, so why do you hold a religious ceremony like this? Do you not want the world to know what is the reason for Your Majesty's Bintian?"

"..."

"Is it the end of life, or -"

Having said this, Ji Hong turned to look at Shang Ruyi, who was already a little pale, and said word by word: "There is someone who will kill the king!"

A gust of biting wind blew by, causing all the prayer flags around to fly. The closed door of the Main Hall was blown by the wind and hit the threshold, making several muffled clanging sounds, which shocked people's hearts.

Yu Wenyuan's heart also sank.

Although he loves and protects his family, he is also very sober. Last night, he spoke very clearly.

This matter is of great importance, and it cannot be solved by just one person speaking or not speaking, and even with the Yuwen family, it may not be able to be solved!

Just when he hesitated, Ji Hong said coldly: "The Duke is coming forward now to answer this question on behalf of your daughter-in-law?"

"..."

"Could it be that she has already told you what happened to His Majesty before his death?"

At this moment, the eyes of everyone around were even more intense, all staring at the two people in front of the square. Some people in the crowd had already begun to agree——

"If the Duke knows, he might as well tell us the truth."

"Yes, how did your Majesty die?"

"If someone really kills the king, we will never let him go leniently. We must cut this person into pieces and kill all nine of her clans!"

Yu Wenyuan was suddenly pushed to the forefront.

Even so, he had been through the storm for a long time, and even if he was criticized and questioned by everyone, his expression remained unchanged. However, when the guards around the main hall saw that Duke Sheng was surrounded, Xue Daotong, the chief follower, immediately winked at everyone,

Those people put their hands on the hilts of their swords and were ready to charge forward.

At this moment, a white hand gently lifted up, stopping everyone's actions.

It also suppressed the angry voices of everyone asking questions.

It's business as you wish.

She was still standing there, with a pale face but a calm expression. At this time, she raised her hand and immediately attracted everyone's attention. She said slowly: "Everyone, I know that brothers Wang Shaoji and Wang Shaoqiu have already sent His Majesty Bin Tian

The news has spread all over the world, and you all must have heard it, but you all probably don’t believe it, so you are questioning the Duke at this time.”

"..."

"However, the Duke actually doesn't know anything. I didn't tell anyone the truth along the way, so the person you want to question is wrong."

"..."

"You should look for me!"

As soon as she said this, everyone looked at her in surprise.

Yu Wenyuan also frowned slightly and looked down at his daughter-in-law, who looked extremely weak, but at this moment, alone provoked everyone's blame. Although he knew in his heart that he shouldn't say anything, he still couldn't help but take a step forward.

.

But just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by a hand coming across from him.

It’s Yu Wenye!

I saw that he had walked to her side at some point, with a stern face and an even stern look at Shang Ruyi, and then whispered: "Father, please don't interfere in this matter anymore."

"..."

Yu Wenyuan frowned and looked at him.

Last night, my second son kept saying that I would leave this matter to him and he would do it. But now——

At this time, they were no longer allowed to do more or even think too much. Shang Ruyi raised his head and took a look around. The officials who were sitting on the futons and were even dozing off before were completely at this moment.

They gathered together and surrounded themselves with water, so that not even the wind could blow in.

Everyone's eyes and breaths gathered together, and the temperature was so hot that it almost ignited her.

But she at the center was cold.

You Qi felt that when Yu Wenye walked away from her, her heart felt more like she had fallen into an abyss, but the cold and biting feeling made her calm down more at this moment.

But, she didn't even turn to look at him.

She met Ji Hong's resentful eyes and said calmly: "Master Ji is here to ask how your majesty died?"

Ji Hong sneered, glanced at Yu Wenyuan and Yu Wenye standing aside, and then said: "Actually, I still have a lot to ask, but since the Duke is protecting you, then you answer the most important question

That’s all. How did your Majesty die?”

Shang Ruyi smiled lightly and said, "Master Ji, there is no need to hold back."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and even Yu Wenyuan frowned, but Shang Ruyi smiled calmly and said: "What Master Ji wants to ask, you can ask it clearly from beginning to end, so as not to have doubts again after today."

.Besides, if you ask all the questions, you’ll find out the cause and effect, and you’ll understand the whole thing better, right?”

"..."

Ji Hong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the young lady of the Duke's Mansion with some surprise.

Over the years, he has stayed away from the court, and even more away from the battles in the court. Even if his own son died in Jiangdu, he only thought that it was a civil servant's advice to die, and he died. However, when the news of the emperor's murder in Jiangdu Palace came, he was extremely sad, and even

He thought about following the late emperor, but today, he was suddenly told by some people in the court that the rumored regicide Shang Ruyi had returned to Daxing City, so he immediately rushed over with the support of everyone to ask for details.

But he didn't expect that this regicide would be so upright.

He was even a little arrogant.

Is she confident, or is she knowing that she will die after committing a heinous crime, so she doesn't care?

But no matter what, asking for the truth is the purpose of his coming here today.

So, Ji Hong sneered and said, "Okay, then I'll ask and you answer!"

Shang Ruyi said: "Excuse me."

Ji Hong said: "First question, I heard that when His Majesty led hundreds of officials south to Jiangdu Palace, the young lady was originally on the list, but why didn't she accompany him?"

Shang Ruyi said: "I think that going south to Jiangdu Palace at that time was not good for the country and the court, so I didn't go with you."

Some people around him were already sneering.

Someone said: "If it's not good for the country and bad for the court, then it's okay to resist the decree and disrespect it?"

"She doesn't have His Majesty in her eyes at all, so no wonder she dares to kill the king!"

"It must be her—"

Just when everyone was blaming each other, Shang Ruyi suddenly turned his head and gave those people a cold look.

She was just a lady of fate, and she was not enough to suppress the officials around her. But when they looked at her coldly, those people felt a chill rising from their hearts and subconsciously closed their mouths.

When those people shut up and left a blank space, Shang Ruyi said: "Do you think Lord Ji will also kill the king?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Even Ji Hong frowned and showed an angry look: "What did you say?!"

Shang Ruyi turned back to face him and said calmly: "Back then, when the late Emperor moved east to Luoyang, Master Ji once knelt outside the gate of Daxing Palace to prevent His Majesty from moving east. Is this possible?"

"..."

"At that time, Lord Ji seemed to have said in his words to dissuade the late Emperor that His Majesty's construction of the Eastern Capital would waste people and money, which would be detrimental to the country and the court."

"..."

"Ruyi just doesn't want to follow. Master Keji, you personally stopped His Majesty from moving eastward."

"..."

"If my actions can remind you of regicide, then Master Ji's actions will not only lead to regicide, but also to fight against the entire court and the world!"

When Ji Hong heard this, his throat suddenly became lumpy and he was speechless.

Even he was speechless, and everyone around him was speechless.

No one expected that they invited Ji Hong, who was so respected that even the powerful Yu Wenyuan could not put pressure on him, but this Shang Ruyi explained what she had done by using what Ji Hong had done himself.

It was like a get-out-of-freeze card for her.

As long as Ji Hong can still stand here alive today and question her, then Shang Ruyi will be innocent!

What a plan!

At this moment, even Yu Wenyuan's eyes lit up.

Of course he knew that his old friend's daughter was extremely intelligent, and he had already seen how intelligent his daughter-in-law was, but what he didn't expect was that she could remain so calm when faced with questions from important officials in the court and besieged by so many people.

A desperate counterattack.

Now, even Ji Hong, who was eloquent, was speechless by her words.

Yu Wenyuan couldn't help but nodded slightly.

On the other hand, Yu Wenye, who was standing next to him, still had a solemn look on his face, and was not at all happy because Shang Ruyi got this chance to breathe.

At this time, there was a burst of applause from the crowd, and a voice sneered: "Good eloquence, good eloquence."

Everyone hurriedly turned their heads, and Shang Ruyi also frowned slightly. When he looked up, he saw a middle-aged man walking out of the crowd. It was Zhou Ying, the General Counselor who had just stood behind Yu Dingxing. He walked step by step.

In front of Shang Ruyi, he lowered his head and said with a smile: "Young Madam Yuwen's quick thinking is amazing."

Shang Ruyi said: "It's not that I'm quick in thinking, it's just that I tell the truth."

Zhou Ying said: "Then, please tell me, young lady, since you think that going south to Jiangdu is not good for the country and the court, then why did you go to Jiangdu again? It is even said from the Jiangdu Palace that you spent time with His Majesty day and night, drinking and having fun.
