outside the imperial city

"You don't need to deceive Mr. Sun, you just need to deceive the common people."

Yao Fanglan grabbed a handful of thatch on the ground and threw it forward.Then he looked down at the wound on his hand.Fortunately for him, Liu Hongyun acted alone and did not get that.

Sun Jing knew he didn't do it, but he didn't say so.It is right to do so, otherwise, it will appear biased.Sun Jing and Xie Ce fulfilled their duties, but he let them down.Now that there is no direct evidence, all he can rely on is the will of the people.The scene just now was watched by so many people, his credibility might have been greatly reduced, right?

"It's all your fault!" Yao Fanglan slammed his fist on the ground.

The yamen servant came over and opened the door for him: "It's time."

Sun Jing was standing not far away waiting for him, still unable to wake up.After staying in the dungeon all night, when suddenly seeing the light, Yao Zanglan narrowed his eyes in discomfort.

Sun Jing came over, pretended to check whether his handcuffs were strong, and secretly slipped two small keys between his fingers.

"Let's go."

The palace is majestic, majestic and resplendent.Yao Fanglan had lived in Jingyang City for 18 years, but it was the first time she came to the palace.He looked to the west and thought, wondering if that boy Jing Junxi went in.

The bell rang, and several soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army came forward and escorted Yao Fanglan forward.Sun Jing followed him without saying a word, pinching his fingers and counting.

Liu Wanwan sat on the dragon chair that did not belong to her, and all the officials paid homage to her.

"Get up." She raised her hand, "Today's court meeting, there are two main things. First, to clarify the rumors about me that have appeared in the market in recent days; second, as of today, the emperor has been missing for a whole month , we need to renegotiate how to deal with the current crisis."

Liu Wanwan waited for everyone to stand up, and then said: "Yesterday, Sun Jing of the Beicheng Mansion has already caught the rebellious minister Yao Julan who I ordered to be wanted. Who knows, the rebellious minister not only refused to plead guilty, but also publicized my guilt, trying to confuse me with lies. People's hearts. Fortunately, Xie Ce was not deceived by him and asked him to confront me to dispel the rumors. Pass them up."

Yao Fanglan and Sun Jing walked into the main hall.Sun Jing knelt down first: "My subject, Sun Jing, kowtows to the empress."

What an ugly face, it's amazing that my mind is still sober now.I thought that the moment I saw her, I would release all my anger and hostility, and rush forward desperately to tear her apart, but it didn't.Being alive is more important than anything else, and he has other things to look forward to besides revenge.

So, be calm.Even if you have to die in the end, protect Jing Junxi, and if possible, meet that person.

Yao Fanglan also knelt down: "Caomin Yao Fanglan kowtowed to the emperor's dragon chair."

As soon as the words were finished, a senior member of the first rank couldn't stand it any longer, and stepped forward and shouted: "Yao Fanglan, do you think this is a joke?"

"A joke?" Yao Fanglan stood up on her own, "I just want to ask my lords here, do you treat the government as a joke? Take a good look at that woman, is that kind of person able to sit on the emperor's dragon chair?"

Liu Wanwan was still remembering what he said to insult her before, and when she heard this, she became even more furious: "You heard it too, this person is just talking nonsense. Someone, drag him out and behead him. "

"Empress, this person deserves death for uttering offenses." Sun Jing also stood up, "However, it is even more important to expose his lies now, otherwise, I am sorry for the tens of thousands of people waiting outside the palace."

"Tens of thousands?" Liu Wanwan patted the dragon chair, and the jewels on her body shook for a while, "What's going on?"

"My lord," said the guard at the palace gate, "tens of thousands of Jingyang citizens have already gathered outside the palace, clamoring for your explanation."

"How could they...?"

The guard presented a piece of paper and said, "It's because from last night to this morning, someone handed out papers with such contents on various streets."

"The Young Military Adviser Yao Fanglan Exposes the Seven Crimes of the Empress of the Dynasty".Not to mention the title, the seven items are clearly listed in the order of occurrence, and six door seals are stamped at the end of the article.The only consolation is that there is a line of small words at the bottom that reads "to be further confirmed".

Liu Wanwan leaned back: "Okay, Sun Jing, okay, Xie Ce, you actually helped the rebel to shake the hearts of the people."

Yao Fanglan looked at Sun Jing appreciatively, unexpectedly, such a small body could come up with such a good idea.It must be thanks to him that he and Xie Ce returned to the Yamen safely yesterday.

The people are the foundation of the country; therefore, the hearts of the people can overwhelm the country.

— But how old is he?How can it be so short?

"My lady, I don't intend to shake the hearts of the people." Sun Jing's face remained unchanged, "I just want to help the empress clarify the rumors."

Xie Ce took a step forward: "Madam, I see that all of you colleagues really want to know what is written on the paper, why don't you let Eunuch Li read it out?"

Liu Wanwan pinched the note in the palm of her hand.She couldn't figure out that little Sun Jing dared to openly oppose him, and she couldn't figure out that Xie Ce would help him spread the news to every corner of Jingyang.

Xie Ce didn't say anything, but the officials still didn't dare to make a sound; as soon as Xie Ce said it, people from the original Li Wang's party started to boo.Gradually, the unreliable people also started to talk about it.

Ye Chengwei said loudly: "Quiet."

He walked out of the line of hundreds of officials and said respectfully: "Please read the contents of the paper again, Eunuch Li." He must have come prepared, took out the paper picked up from the ground from his sleeve, and asked someone to present it to Eunuch Li .

Not to mention Liu Wanwan, even Yao Fanglan and the others were surprised by his actions.

"Even you help these traitors, okay." Liu Wanwan said, "Aren't you here to force the palace today?"

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, you are not a monarch, and the term 'forced palace' is not suitable for you." Ye Chengwei said politely, "And I have no intention of opposing you, I just want to know the truth. And, if you really If you didn’t do those things, what are you afraid of now?”

Liu Wanwan chuckled a few times and said, "You're right. Read it!"

Eunuch Li recited the seven crimes mentioned by Yao Fanglan, and he didn't know if he did it on purpose, but read it from the back to the front.Yao Zanglan looked at Liu Wanwan's expression, watching the face gradually become ferocious.

"Finish?" Liu Wanwan raised her head, "What evidence do you have to prove that I did this?"

Yao Fanglan winked at Sun Jing, Sun Jing nodded, and answered for him: "Ma'am, what evidence do you have to prove that you didn't do this?"

"Presumptuous! You have no place to speak here!" Liu Wanwan waved her sleeves and stood up.

"Then I still have to speak, right?" Xie Ce said, "Your Majesty, what evidence do you have to prove that you didn't do this?"

Liu Wanwan sat back and said, "Joke, is there evidence for all the things I haven't done in the world?"

"Of course there is." Sun Jing couldn't help but said again, "For example, if I didn't come to the palace last night, the evidence is that I was guarding Yao Fanglan, and the dozen or so yamen servants who followed me can testify."

Liu Wanwan smiled and said, "Then what do you use to prove that you have nothing to do with another person?"

Sun Jing was immediately stopped by the question.Yao Zanglan relayed, and said in a very calm voice: "Is Liu Hongyun your sister? Liu, Wan, Wan."

Liu Wanwan covered her ears: "Don't call me that name!"

Yao Zanglan sneered: "In this way, the first point is proved. The crime of deceiving the emperor is enough to kill you, and the rest can be proved later."

The hall instantly exploded.

Yao Fanglan couldn't help but feel sad when he saw these civil and military officials who were ruthless, "My lords, what have you been deceived to promote this farce?"

"Shut up!" Liu Wanwan yelled, "Come here! Imprison Sun Jing and Yao Fanglan!"

Two guards came up and held them down to push them out.

This is crazy?Yao Fanglan and Sun Jing looked at each other, both puzzled.

Xie Ce said: "Your Majesty, why is this?"

"Yesterday, the Beicheng Mansion was attacked by someone, and all the servants were brutally murdered." Liu Wanwan calmed down quickly, "I thought it was Yao Fanglan's hands, but I didn't expect Sun Jing to be an accomplice. Sun Jing, you are so cruel to slaughter your own men. ah."

This hit Sun Jing's sore spot.Sun Jing turned around: "I'm so ruthless?"

Yao Fanglan thought that he was going to lose control of himself, but he took a deep breath and said coldly: "Not all the yamen servants died. One person is still alive, and I put him in place. If you want to investigate this matter thoroughly, I can take you to him."

"Maybe he is also your accomplice?"

"Ma'am," Sun Jing laughed angrily, "According to what you said, Lai Hao decided that Mrs. Liu Hongyun Wang was your accomplice. Isn't it a matter of iron and nail? How many people did Mrs. Wang kill? How many people did Liu Hongyun kill?" People? How many people did Lai Haojue kill? Liu Wanwan, these blood debts are on your head, be careful that you won’t even be able to do a bitch in your next life.”

Liu Wanwan was so angry that her hands and feet trembled: "Press it down."

"Wait," Xie Ce stopped them, "I don't allow people to be arrested in violation of my law."

"Your Majesty," a guard entered the palace, "the people making trouble outside the palace have been suppressed. The officers and soldiers of the military camp in the city are waiting for dispatch outside the palace."

This is expected, but no one can stop it.

Obviously it's about to succeed.

Xie Ce put down his hands helplessly.A smile appeared on Liu Wanwan's face, and she put the tiger talisman on the armrest of the dragon chair: "Put them down first."

Sun Jing bit his lower lip angrily, and was forced to move forward.

Liu Wanwan asked, "How many people are here?"

The guard replied: "Including the Imperial Forest Army soldiers in the palace, there are about 1000 people in total."

"So little?" Liu Wanwan thought for a while, "Is it Gongsun Liu's trick? Forget it. I can adjust more later."

Civil and military officials all stood back to their original positions.Xie Ce stood alone at the entrance of the main hall.The sky was overcast, with dark clouds rolling in, foretelling an impending storm.Ye Chengwei broke away from the line of officials and stood beside him.

"Master Ye, I've dragged you down."

"No." Ye Chengwei said, "I can't make the same mistake over and over again."

With heavy soldiers in hand, Liu Wanwan calmed down completely, turning a deaf ear to the conversation between the two: "Then, gentlemen, let's proceed to the next item."

"The emperor has been missing for a whole month, so it can't go on like this." Liu Wanwan said, "I propose to pardon Qin Wang Bei Qianxiang's crimes and make him the new emperor."

Ye Chengwei turned his face away, unable to bear to look any further.

"However, Qin Wang is extravagant and lustful, so it is difficult for one person to take on this important task." Liu Wanwan smiled, "So from now on, I will listen to the government behind the curtain."

"Wait!" A person appeared at the door.

He traveled all night, full of travel and dust, but his demeanor remained undiminished.

"Liu Wanwan, you are so brave, you dare to make trouble under the eyes of your father."

"Bei Qianling?" Liu Wanwan stood up, "The emperor clearly forbids you to return to Jingyang, why are you here?"

Bei Qianling took out the letter from her bosom, and waved it in front of Liu Wanwan's eyes: "What you want to ask is actually how I escaped the killer you sent and came back so quickly, right?"

"Everyone," he held up the letter, "this is written by Emperor Xizhao: It has been found out that Empress Naiyun repeatedly manipulated the border guards to invade the border between the two countries and killed hundreds of Xizhao soldiers. If she interferes again As for the government, Xizhao will no longer provide supplies for Naiyun, but will instead unite with Xixing."

"Nonsense!" Liu Wanwan said, "Why did I ever do such a thing? Besides, you must have forged that letter, right?"

Bei Qianling handed the letter to the officials beside him and asked them to pass it on to each other: "There is the seal of Emperor Xizhao on it. I didn't know that someone in the world could copy the seal of a country."

"It's a joke," Liu Wanwan was still struggling, "the emperor of a country actually fabricated the facts."

"Whether it was fabricated or not, I don't know." Bei Qianling said sharply, "But those who follow you blindly, after reading this, should know that even if you hold the Tiger Talisman, even if you hold their family members hostage, or With their handle, they can no longer support you, right?"

Bei Qianling smiled, and turned to look at the shameless officials: "Just because I was threatened, I made fun of the government. It really gave our country a face. However, I have to praise you, Liu Wanwan."

He stared at Liu Wanwan: "From a servant to an official who has mastered more than half of the third grade. It's amazing, amazing. No one is better at playing tricks on people's hearts than you. ——Where is my father, tell me quickly! "

Liu Wanwan didn't answer the question, but laughed out loud twice, and shouted outside: "Send the signal!" Her voice was hoarse.

Bei Qianling hurriedly looked outside the palace gate.A long plume of purple smoke flew towards the blue sky, and then there was a shout that shook the world.

"Oops, run away!"

Bei Qianling turned around, and Liu Wanwan was indeed gone.

Even mobilizing troops to attack the imperial city, Bei Qianling shook his head, and said to someone who was not here: "The next thing is up to you."
