Chapter 170: People’s heads dropped in the vegetable market!
"Please follow me, Princess."
After receiving the look from his eldest master, Bai Jing immediately stepped forward and led Lin Acai away from the dungeon of the General's Mansion.
Lin Acai slept for more than two hours.
When she woke up again, Xiao Jue had successfully obtained what he wanted from Nanny Zhang, which was evidence that could almost send the Queen to the abyss.
Two days later.
The case involving the Imperial Guards seemed to have made progress as well. After a thorough investigation, evidence of the Minister of War's embezzlement of military pay and abuse of power gradually surfaced.
The emperor was furious!
He didn't expect that these two originally different cases were both related to the Minister of War Li Qian'an.
At this time, Li Qian had been sentenced by the emperor and thrown directly into prison.
At this time, the situation in the Golden Palace was different from the previous few days. No minister dared to stand up and plead for the Minister of War, Lord Li.
Just half a day passed.
Many women who had been abused and raped by Mr. Li Er, the second son of the Minister of War, signed a letter in blood and reported him to the government office in Kyoto.
Among them, two lives were lost.
When the blood letter was presented to the emperor, he was furious. After looking at all the evidence that the Embroidered Uniform Guard had submitted earlier about the second son of the Li family raping women, he directly issued an edict to let the second son of the Li family meet the King of Hell before his father.
In a short time, the news that Mr. Li, the second son of the Minister of War, was beheaded at noon spread like wildfire, and people of all ages, women, and children from the streets and alleys flocked to the market entrance.
Everyone wanted to see the scene when this dandy boy, who had deserved his punishment, had his head dropped to the floor.
On the execution platform, people kept throwing eggs, fruits and rotten vegetable leaves at the kneeling Second Master Li.
"Dad! Where are you? Please save your son, Dad!"
Young Master Li looked in horror at the people waving their fists at him from all directions, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that his father would come to save him.
But the more he waited, the more disappointed he became. It had been so long, but he hadn't even seen a shadow of his father.
Young Master Li was caught on the bed in a brothel while he was having a romantic affair.
Therefore, he had no idea that his father had been detained in the hall just a moment ago.
"Bah! Stop yelling. I believe your father will go down to accompany you soon!" The executioner is usually a man of few words and rarely talks nonsense.
But today he really couldn't stand it anymore, and was annoyed by this Second Young Master Li, so he asked him to face the reality as soon as possible and shut up.
Sure enough, after saying this, Mr. Li's eyes became empty, and his voice seemed to be made mute by poison. He instantly drooped his head and stopped talking.
Half an hour later.
The second son of the Minister of War, Mr. Li, was beheaded.
The onlookers applauded...
From this moment on, everyone in the Queen's party was in danger.
They came to the Kunning Palace in an endless stream, waiting to see the Queen.
If I allow the Jinyiwei to continue investigating, I'm afraid I'll be the next one to suffer.
Xiao Anzi: "Your Majesty, there are two more people waiting outside who want to see you."
"Let them come in together, don't let them come in one at a time, endlessly." The Queen has been displeased by being disturbed by this group of old men since early morning.
She raised her eyes and slowly stood up from the phoenix couch.
She thought: After so many years in the palace, she has seen all kinds of storms and waves. Do these old men not believe her? They are all impatient rubbish.
Xiao Anzi: "My lady... the new leader of the organization wants to see you, my lady. How should I respond to him?"
"Did you deal with the previous commander cleanly?" The queen suddenly rolled her eyes at Xiao Anzi, seeming to have doubts.
Seeing this, Xiao Anzi quickly replied: "Her Majesty, we have dealt with it all. None of the thirty-two people in the Commander's Mansion escaped."
Queen: "Well... then let's meet the new commander and see if he is more useful than the previous idiot."
Xiao Anzi: "Yes...I will arrange the time right away."
moment.
In the Queen's Kunning Palace, ministers knelt on the ground.
"My queen, please send someone to rescue us. If we continue to allow those Jinyiwei to investigate, I'm afraid all of us will lose our heads."
A minister suddenly looked at the Queen with sorrow, his gray beard was particularly glaring in the Queen's eyes.
"My Lord, Minister of Personnel, please do not exaggerate and disturb my heart. I am just an Imperial Guard. Is it necessary to scare you all like this?
What's more, Li Qian'an's death has not yet been finalized. It's just that his son died. Is it necessary for you to wait outside my door so early and disturb me?"
"Empress, please make plans early and don't let us, the old ministers who have followed you for many years, feel disappointed!"
"How dare you!" The queen suddenly became angry and threw the teacup in her hand towards the person who spoke.
The teacup instantly broke into pieces and splashed everywhere.
The minister who risked his life to threaten the queen had his face cut by the ceramic fragments.
Drops of blood flowed down his cheeks and hit the ground.
All the other ministers who wanted to agree fell silent instantly...
......
Inside Shaohua Palace.
Eunuch Xu was fanning Concubine Xiao with a cattail leaf fan.
There has been too much noise in Kunning Palace recently. The spies they have planted there pass on the news to Concubine Xiao almost every half a day.
"Your Majesty, the situation is getting chaotic over there. I heard that many ministers have suddenly asked the Emperor to resign and return home."
"These people usually rely on the Crown Prince to stand by the Empress' side. Does she think it's because of her? How ridiculous. Wait, the Imperial Guards will follow the Minister of War and bring out many more people."
......
Here.
No sooner had the ministers been sent away than the queen summoned the new leader of the men in black into the palace.
The commander, wearing a well-fitting eunuch's uniform, was taken directly to a secret room in Kunning Palace by Eunuch Xiao Anzi.
There were only the two of them in the secret room, and no one could hear what they were saying.
The little palace maid beside the Queen looked up at the door of the secret room slowly closing, then quickly found an excuse to leave Kunning Palace.
She did not go straight to Shaohua Palace, but came to the Imperial Hospital and found another young palace maid who had been waiting for a long time.
After receiving the message from this man, another young palace maid came to the imperial study where the young eunuch was on duty.
After several twists and turns, the news that the Queen Mother met with the leader of the black-clad organization outside the palace finally reached Concubine Xiao's ears.
Concubine Xiao: "Come here, tell Master Xiao and Miss Lin to come into the palace and tell them that the concubine is unwell."
The young eunuch hurriedly stepped out of the gate of Shaohua Palace.
Concubine Xiao then looked at Eunuch Xu...
