Chapter 256: Fighting
The emperor faced Shangduan Kangbo with anger on his face.
"Tell me, how come the things belonging to the Rongyang Marquis Mansion are in your hands?"
Duan Kangbo was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events. He collapsed on the ground in cold sweat and didn't know how to speak for a while.
How did it get into his hands!
Of course he took it.
Taking a few deep breaths, trying his best to steady his mind, Duan Kangbo said: "Your Majesty, I dare not lie, this vase was indeed given to me by the Rongyang Marquis Mansion.
Although it was not sent by Rongyang Hou personally, it was sent by Rongyang Hou Mansion.
After the death of Marquis Rongyang, I went to express my condolences and mentioned this vase while talking to the steward of the Marquis Rongyang Mansion.
The steward sighed and said that the Marquis loved these antiques most in his life, but it was a pity that the Marquis left early. The steward also said that I am a person who understands the Marquis, so he gave me a vase. "
Before he could finish these words, Zhou Huaishan said angrily, "Fart! The steward of Rongyang Marquis Mansion is a woman!"
Duan Kangbo's mouth suddenly opened wide and his eyes widened, and a question mark quickly appeared above his head.
female?
Another old dandy echoed: "Yes, the steward of the Rongyang Marquis' Mansion is a woman. I don't know how Duan Kangbo got in touch with this female steward. Or was it when he was mourning the Rongyang Marquis."
Duan Kangbo turned pale and cursed in his heart.
Why did this steward become a woman!
"Is it possible that there is a male steward in the Rongyang Marquis Mansion?" The minister of Dali Temple standing on one side weakly defended Duan Kangbo.
Zhou Huaishan rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. It will make you look retarded."
The Qing of Dali Temple suddenly turned dark, his face darkened, and he said displeasedly: "This is the imperial palace."
Zhou Huaishan said: "You should be more careful in your words and deeds before the emperor!"
The Qing of Dali Temple suddenly had a lump in his throat.
The Queen said coldly: "How do you, a farmer far away in Xuan Mansion, know so clearly about the affairs of the Rongyang Marquis Mansion?"
Zhou Huaishan seemed to bow respectfully.
"Mother Qi, how the common people knew is certainly important, but how Duan Kangbo stole it seems to be more important.
I think your question can easily divert everyone's attention.
As soon as the attention was diverted, everyone no longer wanted to know how Duan Kangbo stole it, but they also wanted to know how the common people knew.
If this is the case, wouldn't it be impossible to appease the spirit of Marquis Rongyang in heaven?
Let's not let Duan Kangbo's true colors be revealed. "
everyone
This is really true!
Zhou Huaishan used the most respectful tone to speak the hardest words to expose the Queen.
The queen's expression was extremely expressionless.
The emperor turned his head and glanced at the queen, "Does the queen want to favor Duan Kangbo?"
The Queen was startled and immediately said: "I am unjustly accused, Your Majesty. I am just curious. Isn't Your Majesty curious? How did he know this?"
The emperor said coldly: "I am even more curious about how Uncle Duan Kang stole things from the Rongyang Marquis Mansion."
After that, the emperor directly ordered Shen Li, "Bring him to Shadow and let me investigate!"
When he heard that he was about to be taken to the shadows, Duan Kangbo was so frightened that he almost lost control. "Your Majesty, please spare your life. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare your life. I really did not steal it from the Rongyang Marquis Mansion."
The Minister of Dali Temple did not expect that the matter would develop to this point.
He took a step forward and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the cause of this incident was that Zhou Huaishan smashed the vase and used bricks to kill him. Your Majesty can't just blame Duan Kangbo alone."
Zhou Huaishan accepted this.
"First of all, I smashed the vase, which happened to lead to this old case. In this way, I am the hero.
Secondly, I committed the murder, and I beat Zhou Huaihai. As for why I beat Zhou Huaihai, you might as well go back and ask Zhou Huaihai yourself!
Could it be that the emperor should make the decision for him on such a trivial matter?
Is his face that big?
Or is it because Zhou Huaihai is Duan Kangbo's in-laws, and Duan Kangbo is a frequent visitor to the Zhenguo Palace?
Just because of this, do you want the king of a country to interfere with the business of fighting? "
everyone
call!
This is the first time that someone can attack someone in front of the emperor so directly and hit the target.
Even the several royal censors sitting here are probably not as good as him.
Who dares to take the next sentence after saying this!
After Zhou Huaishan finished speaking to the Minister of Dali Temple, he showed a polite smile and added: "Do you have any other questions?"
The Minister of Dali Temple shook his head subconsciously, "No more."
After I finished speaking, I suddenly felt like I had chewed a fly in my mouth, chewing it carefully and slowly.
This matter involved the Rongyang Hou Mansion, and the emperor wanted to lock Duan Kangbo into the shadows. For a while, no one dared to come out to intercede.
The emperor immediately ordered two forbidden soldiers and ordered them to be escorted to the shadow.
Duan Kangbo was taken away with howls of ghosts and wolves, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall became silent and strange.
Everyone's eyes are fixed on Zhou Huaishan.
Zhou Huaishan stood there with a calm face, as if he didn't notice anything.
"Now, can you tell me why you know so much about the Rongyang Marquis Mansion?" the queen said, suppressing her anger.
Zhou Huaishan responded respectfully, "Ms. Qi, it's all because Cao Min had a dream. Cao Min dreamed of a man who claimed to be the Marquis of Rongyang. He said that because Cao Min was also named Zhou Huaishan and was destined to him, he asked Cao Min to avenge him. .
He said that many things in his house were robbed by others, and he felt heartbroken when he looked at them from the sky. "
The queen's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "Nonsense!"
"Your Majesty, I dare not!" Zhou Huaishan paused and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I found that Duan Kangbo robbed Rongyang Hou's things. It shows that what I said is true. Rongyang Hou is watching from heaven."
The queen felt a chill on her back.
She couldn't help but look up at the roof.
The emperor stared at Zhou Huaishan, "Did you really have such a dream?"
"Your Majesty, yes, I dare not hide it."
"What else did you dream about?"
Zhou Huaishan was silent for a moment, "I also dreamed that Rongyang Hou said that if I am lucky enough to see your Majesty, I will tell your Majesty to eat less crisp pears."
The emperor loved crisp pears since he was a child, but he would have stomachaches when he ate them.
Not many people knew this secret. Rongyang Hou was one of them, and the other was the chief eunuch who served the emperor since he was a child.
Sitting on the high seat, staring at the honest face below, the emperor's hands trembled uncontrollably.
Shen Li's words that day lingered in his ears again.
Resurrection.
Is it really you?
"Shen Li is young and promising, and I appreciate him very much. I originally wanted to keep him to marry my princess, but now he has someone he loves, I have to give him up."
When the emperor spoke again, he avoided the previous topic and went straight to the imperial decree to grant marriage.
Shen Mingzhu immediately looked at Shi Yuexin.
She didn't believe that Shi Yuexin could still sit still.
She looked down and saw that Shi Yuexin's eyes were glued to the Prince of Ning's Mansion.
Shen Mingzhu was stunned.
Why?
Did Shi Yuexin fall in love with someone else?
Did Shi Yuexin like the Prince of Ning's Mansion now?
