"You just promised me that you wouldn't kill me! Are you going to go back on your word?!"
Seeing the unkind expressions on Yang Qingyuan and Ji Yao's faces, Zhou Mingsheng completely lost his eloquent demeanor.
"Does a person like you need to be honest with you?!"
Yang Qingyuan's words made Zhou Mingsheng panic. Yang Qingyuan wanted to kill him, but with his weak martial arts, he couldn't resist.
"But I won't kill you. Such a crime should be punished and made known to the world."
Yang Qingyuan not only wanted to kill Zhou Mingsheng, but also wanted to kill him openly. While bringing Zhou Mingsheng to justice, Yang Qingyuan also wanted to make the truth about Li Shou's case public.
"Before that, let me collect some interest first!"
Yang Qingyuan clenched his fist and together with Ji Yaohua, beat Zhou Mingsheng violently.
Before this, Yang Qingyuan almost never used lynching. Of course, Yang Qingyuan did not do it today. This was all caused by Zhou Mingsheng himself. What does it have to do with Mr. Yang, the young minister of Dali Temple? !
Yang and Ji beat Zhou Mingsheng violently. Of course, in order to avoid being discovered, neither Yang Qingyuan nor Ji Yaohua's fists were directed at Zhou Mingsheng's face.
Zhou Mingsheng, who had been beaten so hard, was swollen all over.
When Yang Qingyuan struck, he even brought a ray of innate sword energy with him. Zhou Mingsheng only felt the pain in his muscles and meridians at this moment.
"You are really being advantaged!"
The highest punishment in Yang Qingyuan's heart is the death penalty. As for Ling Chi, it is really inhumane. Even for a scum like Zhou Mingsheng, Yang Qingyuan does not want to use it lightly.
But even after killing Zhou Mingsheng, Yang Qingyuan could not understand the anger in his heart, and could only vent it out in this way.
"Yang, don't think that you have won. Apart from my confession and your so-called fingerprints, do you have any other evidence?! When I go to court one day, I will not admit any of these things. You Kill me if you can!!"
After a period of thinking, Zhou Mingsheng gradually figured it out. Yang Qingyuan would not kill him, at least not when the case was unclear! The so-called fire just now was probably Yang Qingyuan's excuse to intimidate him.
After Zhou Mingsheng figured it out, he was no longer afraid. After being beaten by Fatty, Zhou Ming was so angry that he yelled and cursed loudly.
After Yang Qingyuan beat Zhou Mingsheng, he felt extremely relieved. No wonder Liu Wangshu likes to speak with a sword so much. It feels really good to do it directly!
"If you want to retract your confession, that is your freedom. When you go to court, you will have your own argument to defend yourself. Naturally, I will also have my evidence to convince His Majesty. Let's take a look at it then!"
"Ji Baotou, are you angry?!"
Ji Yaohua was not as indignant as Yang Qingyuan for Zhou Mingsheng's evil deeds. She was even more angry at Zhou Mingsheng's attack on her female catcher Fangyuan.
After a few punches, most of the anger in Ji Yaohua's heart was released. The fat beating just now was more to vent her anger on Yang Qingyuan's behalf.
Even I can't bear to make my master so angry. How can you, Zhou Mingsheng, be qualified to make him angry?
This was Ji Yaohua's mentality just now.
"Take good care of him! By the way, don't give him food today, just give him some water!"
For normal people, it would be no big deal if they skipped a meal, but people like Zhou Mingsheng, who had comprehensive nutrition and had experience in martial arts, had nothing to worry about.
Although Yang Qingyuan was angry, he was unwilling to do anything too outrageous, so he could only use this method to deal with Zhou Mingsheng.
"Hahaha! Yang Qingyuan, we still don't know who will win!! Hahaha..."
Zhou Mingsheng, who had calmed down, had thought it through thoroughly and laughed proudly, regardless of the pain on his body.
Yang Qingyuan didn't care about Zhou Mingsheng's laughter, and just led Ji Yaohua out of the interrogation room and into a room nearby.
Here, an old man was holding Yaya and playing around, while Cui Keqin stood aside with an aggrieved expression.
"Yaya, grandpa wants to ask you something."
"Yeah!" Yaya nodded her little head fiercely, "If grandpa doesn't know anything, Yaya will tell you!"
Although the contact time was not long, this grandpa seemed to be a good person and even gave her candy. Yaya immediately became excited when she saw that she seemed to be able to help her grandpa.
"Then Grandpa asks you, why did you call the man in the prison when you saw him just now?!"
"Because he is just like his father!" Yaya replied without hesitation.
"Then is he your father?!" The old man was very patient.
When Yaya heard this, she became anxious and immediately waved her hand and said, "No, he's not! He's a bad boy! Daddy is good! It's just the same! Not daddy!"
Although Yaya didn't express it very clearly, the old man still understood it.
"This man looks very similar to Yaya's father, but he is not Yaya's father, right?"
Yaya looked at the old man with admiring eyes, "Yeah! Grandpa is so awesome! Just as awesome as my brother!"
As he spoke, he made a big circle with his hand to describe this level of power.
Although the old man has been praised, praised and flattered by countless people, it seems that none of them are as sincere as the little girl in front of him.
Yang Qingyuan, who entered the room, happened to hear this sentence and immediately walked quickly to the old man, "Your Majesty! Yaya is young and ignorant, and her words are careless! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Hahaha! It doesn't matter! I also like this girl very much! She is innocent but also very smart."
The three people who followed Yang Qingyuan into Dali Temple were Emperor Zhou and the two factory directors from the east and west, Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian.
Emperor Zhou put down Yaya, and when he saw Yang Qingyuan, Yaya immediately ran to Yang Qingyuan's side.
"This girl is Li Shou's daughter?!"
Yang Qingyuan touched Yaya's head and replied: "Back to the top, Yaya is the orphan of the Li family and the only survivor in their village!"
Although Emperor Zhou had gone through more than twenty years of political struggle, he still felt soft when he heard what happened to the little girl in front of him.
To suffer such misfortune at such an age makes one feel pity.
Yang Qingyuan waved his hand gently towards Ji Yaohua. Ji Yaohua understood and squatted down and said to Yaya, "Yaya, sister is a little hungry. Do you want to go to eat with sister?!"
Yaya touched her belly, she seemed a little hungry too!
So she immediately replied, "Okay, okay! Yaya wants to eat wontons!"
Just as Yaya was about to follow Ji Yaohua, she seemed to think of something and turned to look at Cui Keqin who was motionless on one side.
"Master, do you want to come with us?!"
Emperor Zhou gently raised his hand, and Cao Zhengchun, who was standing aside, popped out a stream of true energy and opened Cui Keqin's acupuncture points.
"Thank you, sir! This is Wei Chen's nephew. He studied Taoism in Kunlun since he was a child. He is not familiar with secular etiquette. If there is any offense, please forgive me."
Yang Qingyuan bowed again on behalf of the angry Cui Keqin. Yang Qingyuan knew what was happening even without looking.
Although Cui Keqin is the direct descendant of Kunlun Yuxu, he is not good at martial arts. He was probably restrained by Cao Zhengchun and Yuhuatian in an instant.
Although Cui Keqin was dissatisfied with the actions of Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun just now, he knew from Yang Qingyuan's name and actions that the old man in front of him was the most noble person in Zhou Dynasty and even in the world. It would not be too much to be more vigilant for the two Dongxuan realms. .
After giving a helpless salute, Ji Yaohua and Yaya exited the room.
Emperor Zhou looked at Cui Keqin walking away and asked, "A person of Yuxu's lineage?!"
The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty respected Taoism, and the Emperor Zhou also knew the three ancestral courts of the Taoist clan very well. When he heard the word Kunlun, he had already guessed Cui Keqin's identity.
"It is the contemporary people of Yuxu's lineage who are walking in the world!"
"Nice young man!"
Then Emperor Zhou turned the topic to Yaya.
"Does Yaya have any relatives in this world?!"
Yang Qingyuan replied, "Originally, there was only one grandma left, who was sentenced to be exiled to Jizhou, and now she is also killed by Zhou Mingsheng. Yaya is already alone in this world."
Emperor Zhou also sighed.
"Am I adopted by you now?!"
"The person who came back to the top is Wangshu. He has a lot of fate with her, so he adopted Yaya."
When Liu Wangshu was mentioned, the look on Emperor Zhou's face became obviously interesting.
"Yang Qing, let me know why you keep rejecting my proposal of marriage. It turns out that you have someone else in your heart!"
Faced with Emperor Zhou's ridicule, Yang Qingyuan did not refute.
"This Liu Wangshu is just a knight-errant?!"
Emperor Zhou asked Cao Zhengchun, who had been silent behind him.
"Long live Hui! This Lady Liu seems to be Li Taibai's disciple!"
Although Dongchang's information is not as good as that of Hulong Villa, it is definitely not bad. At the Wudang birthday banquet that day, Liu Wangshu had already reported his family status. It would be easy for Dongchang to find out this kind of thing. .
"Li Taibai?... Huh?! Li Taibai, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy back then!?"
Emperor Zhou was stunned for a moment, but the memory of the amazing and brilliant man gradually became clearer.
At that time, Li Taibai also had an astonishing poetic talent. His poems were majestic and majestic, and overflowing with the fragrance of immortality. It was like an immortal descended into the world. Emperor Zhou still remembers it fresh.
"It's Senior Li."
Yang Qingyuan saw Emperor Zhou looking at him and immediately replied.
"Qingyuan has a good sense!!"
After some joking, Emperor Zhou returned to the topic, "Did you pull me out of the palace just for this Zhou Mingsheng?!"
Emperor Zhou was not supposed to leave the palace at will, but Yang Qingyuan begged him and Emperor Zhou himself wanted to go out to the palace for fun, so he slipped out of the palace at night.
Emperor Zhou first took Cao Zhengchun and Yuhuatian to visit the night market for half an hour before arriving at Dali Temple.
The reason why Emperor Zhou was invited here was to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.
Whether it is the Eight Discourses or the Ten Evils, the final decision-maker is Emperor Zhou.
There were many cases involving the eight issues before this dynasty, and Emperor Zhou generally would not express his position directly. When Taizu was in power, he killed people so cruelly that he left a reputation among the officials who were mean and unkind. evaluate.
Emperor Zhou's goal was to become a benevolent king, so he was not as decisive as Taizu in dealing with these prisoners and dignitaries. When it came to eight discussions, he would mostly let the court officials review them, and he almost never made the decision himself.
Therefore, the prince chose to start with the important officials of the court who participated in the court meeting.
Of course, it wasn't that the prince didn't know that Emperor Zhou was the final decision-maker, but that the prince didn't want to go to Emperor Zhou directly.
If you go to ask Emperor Zhou for this matter, firstly, it will leave an impression on Emperor Zhou that he does not know right from wrong and does not follow the law; secondly, if you go to ask Emperor Zhou for mercy because of this matter, it will make Emperor Zhou doubt his ability.
The prince is still just the prince now, and the King of Chu, who is also a direct descendant, is watching him with eager eyes.
This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to do.
Yang Qingyuan did not have these scruples. He knew from the beginning that Emperor Zhou had the right to decide whether Zhou Mingsheng should be killed and how he should be punished. So the most direct way to solve the problem was to let Emperor Zhou kill Zhou Mingsheng. Heart.
Although the prince was very kind to the crown prince Zhou Mingyu, Emperor Zhou was never too satisfied with his daughter-in-law.
The original prince should be regarded as a qualified prince, a piece of beautiful jade carved by Emperor Zhou himself, but now because of Zhou Mingyu, this piece of beautiful jade has a few flaws.
This made Emperor Zhou very dissatisfied. Emperor Zhou had even thought about giving Zhou Mingyu death first if he was to be crown prince.
He was disgusted with the house and the crow. Now that Zhou Mingyu's brother had committed a crime, Emperor Zhou was naturally disgusted.
The purpose of Yang Qingyuan boldly asking Emperor Zhou to leave the palace, despite the threat of being impeached by the civil service group, was so that Emperor Zhou could hear with his own ears the fact that Zhou Mingsheng had confessed to murder.
And Yaya's appearance obviously had an effect that Yang Qingyuan had not expected.
The love and pity Emperor Zhou showed for Yaya just now didn't seem like an act, so his dislike for Zhou Mingsheng would inevitably increase to a higher level.
“Have you found out everything Zhou Mingsheng did this week?!”
Yang Qingyuan replied, "Zhou Mingsheng has fully admitted his crimes."
Emperor Zhou also nodded in approval.
"For some of these crimes, I have found corresponding evidence, and for some crimes, the evidence is still under investigation."
"There is no need to check the rest, I already know it in my heart! Such a vicious thief..."
As the emperor, Emperor Zhou would not directly say whether Zhou Mingsheng should be killed or not, but these words actually implicitly expressed his attitude.
"Does the prince know about these dirty things he did?!"
Emperor Zhou frowned slightly, and then asked uncertainly.
Although Yang Qingyuan was very dissatisfied with the prince's previous behavior, he was not a casual person. Moreover, the prince is different from Zhou Mingsheng. He is the legitimate son of Emperor Zhou. Without any real evidence, no matter what he says, he will be suspected of attacking the prince.
As an official who has been in power for eight years, Yang Qingyuan will naturally not make such a mistake.
"Your Excellency, this matter involves the Crown Prince. I dare not make false claims. However, as of now, there is no evidence that the Crown Prince is involved in this case."
After hearing this, Emperor Zhou nodded with satisfaction. He did not want his son to be a tyrant who harmed the people and massacred Li Shu.
"This is Zhou Mingsheng, Qingyuan, just follow the procedures!"
Emperor Zhou said casually, and then continued, "I have been out for a while, it's time to go back to the palace!"
As the head of a country, Emperor Zhou followed strict etiquette rules when traveling. If someone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Ministry of Rites found out about leaving the palace privately, they would probably be dissuaded for ten days. .
Regarding these trolls, Emperor Zhou had nothing to do and didn't want to offend them, so it was better to return to the palace as early as possible.
"I will escort His Majesty back to the palace!"
Yang Qingyuan was about to gather people.
"No need!" Emperor Zhou interrupted Yang Qingyuan's move, "With Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian here, I am not in any danger. This trip out of the palace is a private visit incognito and cannot be known to outsiders."
After Emperor Zhou finished speaking, he put on his previous cloak and walked towards the outside of Dali Temple.
