Chapter 153 Innocence
Lin Yunsong was so angry that he wanted to step forward, but Zhang went up and grabbed him.
Crown Prince Zhou Huangquan brought so many people today, it was obvious that he came well prepared, and the General’s Mansion was no match for them.
"Someone, come in and search!" Zhou Huangquan gave the order again.
"You can't go in!" All of a sudden, the women who came out with Old Lady Yu also rushed up, and the guards of the general's mansion and the prince's men got into a fight. It looked like the swords in the hands of the prince's soldiers were about to hurt someone.
Bai Ge, who was sitting at the banquet, frowned.
A group of soldiers bullied the Lin family, young and old, and Bai Ge couldn't stand it anymore. He was about to stand up and speak, but was stopped by Shang. This was too obvious a frame-up, and without sufficient evidence to refute it, it would only backfire if it was exposed.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the banquet: "Stop!" The voice was confident and powerful, and immediately stunned everyone.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone immediately looked towards the source of the sound and saw a man in clean white clothes, looking heroic and handsome.
It turned out to be Bai Yanli.
"Who are you?" Zhou Huangquan asked with a frown.
Bai Yanli did not answer his question, but directly scolded: "Your Highness, you are so bold!" He turned to the soldiers who were colliding and said coldly, "And you, you are acting beyond your authority, what is your crime!"
The soldiers were startled and stopped moving for a moment, standing there.
What a strong aura.
The prince was stunned. Those two sentences actually stunned even his men.
The prince frowned and had to look directly at Bai Yanli. He was shocked. This man had a very noble temperament and a powerful aura between his eyebrows, which made him look a little inferior. He asked coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Bai Yanli replied, "Your Highness, if I remember correctly, after the disaster victims started causing trouble, the Emperor said he would personally investigate the mastermind behind the disaster victims, and the Crown Prince was only an assistant investigator. I would like to ask, how can an assistant investigator have the right to arrest people and interrogate them?" Bai Yanli stared at the soldiers behind him and asked, "What qualifications do you have to bring people to the General's Mansion to act so arrogantly?"
Ah?
What a powerless person!
What a great investigation!
Zhou Huangquan sneered. He came to Bai Yanli with a slanted smile and looked at him carefully.
He looked familiar.
But I couldn't remember where I had seen it.
He snorted coldly and whispered in Bai Yanli's ear: "Are you looking for death?"
Bai Yanli smiled nonchalantly, leaned over to his ear and said, "Your Highness is the one who is seeking death. You haven't investigated the Longquan Temple assassination yet, and now you are trying to put the blame on the General's Mansion. Your Highness may be too busy. Your Highness, haste makes waste!"
what did he say? !
When Zhou Huangquan heard this, his heart sank. He took three steps back and stared at Bai Yanli again.
correct.
He remembered that he had indeed seen him. He had seen him in the side room of Longquan Temple when he assassinated Emperor Zhou last time. It was said that he was the one who saved the emperor.
The second son of the Bai family, Bai Yanli?
Zhou Huangquan frowned, and while looking at Bai Yanli, he also looked behind him. Shang, who was sitting behind him, was holding a handkerchief and looking at her son nervously, while Bai Ge also looked at him with a cold face.
Tang Wanru sat next to Shang, put her chopsticks on the table, and looked up to watch the development of the situation.
Zhou Huangquan sneered, what an ignorant boy!
With such a background, you dare to confront him openly? You are simply looking for death!
It is true that he is weak these days, and all kinds of people dare to look down on him.
He is assisting in the investigation.
He is not qualified to arrest and interrogate people. Then why not let someone who is qualified come? He never fights a battle without preparation!
Thinking of this, Zhou Huangquan took two steps back, then he suddenly raised his head and laughed out loud.
Everyone was confused and had no idea what he was laughing at.
Zhou Huangquan smiled and said to Bai Yanli, "Mr. Bai, you are right. I am not qualified to assist in the investigation." A sinister and vicious light flashed in his pupils. "But there is someone who is qualified. Why don't I let him come?"
After saying this, Zhou Huangquan curled the corners of his lips arrogantly, then stepped back and raised his hand and shouted: "Someone! Please call in His Majesty!"
Your Majesty? !
Everyone was shocked!
As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked in from the door.
Everyone's eyes lit up, it was Li Bo! !
Then Li Bo moved aside, and the man in the dragon robe strode in from behind him.
He is none other than Emperor Zhou!
emperor!
Is it really the Emperor?!
Everyone was greatly surprised. They thought this was just a one-man show by the prince, but they didn't expect that the emperor would also come!
"Your Highness!" Everyone in the palace knelt down with a "wow!"
Bai Yanli also knelt down.
The prince lifted his robe, knelt down, clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Father!"
Emperor Zhou's face was very gloomy. He looked around at everyone and then fell on Lin Junchen and Lin Yunsong, still saying nothing.
The prince said, "Father, there is solid evidence that Lin Junchen is rebelling. Now I suspect that the General's Mansion is also involved in the rebellion, so I beg you to allow me to search the General's Mansion!"
The prince is talking nonsense!
Lin Yunsong, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and retorted: "Your Majesty, what the prince said is not true. Junchen stepped forward and controlled the flood when the flood in Peijing was at its most dangerous. He is dedicated to the country and will never have second thoughts. The general's mansion assisted the late emperor with all its strength in the early years, and now it is working hard for you, Your Majesty. How could it be possible that he would rebel, Your Majesty?"
"The late emperor! The late emperor!" The prince suddenly stood up and said with a cold look in his eyes, "The late emperor has been dead for a long time, and you still keep saying that the late emperor is the greatest. Now the world belongs to His Majesty. Do you want to rely on the glory of assisting the late emperor to restore the ancestral system of the late emperor?"
"This..." When Yu heard this, she almost fell down. She never expected that the prince's words were waiting for her here.
Assisting the late emperor has become an original sin in the prince's mouth!
What if the emperor also understands it this way?
Lin Yunsong hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I have no such intention!"
Emperor Zhou's brows were furrowed, and he still didn't speak. To be honest, he had been hesitant about this matter.
When Li Bo told him that the prince had found out who was behind the scenes, he guessed that this might be the prince's scheme.
But when the prince told him in person that it was the general's mansion.
He hesitated again.
The General's Mansion was the right-hand man of the late emperor. After the late emperor passed away, he no longer used him. Therefore, the General's Mansion had many complaints and it was possible that they intended to rebel. What's more, the power in the General's Mansion was not small. If there was really a disloyalty, it would be a big hidden danger if it was not nipped in the bud.
The Zhou Emperor was always suspicious.
He had been bothered by the fact that he had not brought up the General's Mansion himself. Now, after hearing what the Crown Prince said, he felt that it was not completely unbelievable.
So he is standing here today.
It's basically a lack of trust in the General's Mansion!
Lin Yunsong saw the emperor's suspicion from his expression. His heart sank. He never expected that after all his efforts for so many years, he would be rewarded with the emperor's suspicion!
His loyal heart sank to the bottom of the lake in an instant.
"Your Majesty..." Lin Yunsong looked at Emperor Zhou eagerly, "Junchen is innocent, the General's Mansion has no ulterior motives..."
"Yunsong." Emperor Zhou paused for a moment and then said, "Since you have no ulterior motives, let the crown prince search you and clear your name."
