The old emperor squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Qi: "Vice Prime Minister Yan, you said you killed someone? Haha, on the first day after returning to Dahua, you went on a killing spree?"
"Okay, I want to hear, who did you kill and why?"
"However, I put my words here. Although you are my beloved, a rising star in the imperial court, and the pillar of Dahua, you have made great contributions to Dahua. But if you kill people randomly and kill good people by mistake, I I will never tolerate it, and I will definitely pay for it with your blood!"
What you say is so domineering!
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
"The old emperor speaks very reasonably."
"Sounds very wise. Would he do those stupid things?"
"Actually, the old emperor was a very wise and wise master when he was young."
…
Everyone was muttering in their hearts.
Yan Qi smiled and looked at the old emperor: "Your Majesty is really wise. You are worthy of being the Emperor of China for your ability to kill your relatives with justice."
The old emperor looked at Yan Qi.
He said that on purpose.
Although he didn't know why Yan Qi killed people.
However, Yan Qi is such a smart person.
How can you kill people randomly?
He must be justified in killing people.
Moreover, he killed more than a dozen people and specifically asked An Sihai to invite him to the scene for interrogation.
There is definitely something fishy here.
Otherwise, the Ministry of Punishment can just interrogate him directly, but does he, the Emperor of Great China, need to personally intervene?
Therefore, even if he was indeed feeling unwell, the old emperor still went to the Ministry of Punishments without any trouble.
When he entered the Criminal Department and saw that the Eight Sages were here, he decided that there must be a mystery to Yan Qi's murder.
Therefore, he took the lead and put aside the harsh words of his colleagues.
Although the old emperor said harsh words to Yan Qi, his target was someone else.
How can ordinary people understand the emperor's intentions?
Yan Qidao: "Back to the emperor, the murder was caused by the blue guard pretending to be a police officer, extorting money, and bullying good people. I happened to encounter the blue guard acting recklessly."
"In order to protect the interests of the people from being violated, to uphold justice and protect Dahua, to protect the lives of the people, and to protect myself, I killed thirteen blue-clad guards in a row..."
Yan Qi tells the whole story
Said it again.
When the emperor heard this, he slapped his thigh: "If you kill well, the interests of the people cannot be violated. Don't you know that the king is more important than the country, and the people are more valuable? The lives of the people are the life of Dahua, how can it be allowed to be violated?"
Yan Qi shouted: "Your Majesty is so wise."
The people looked at each other in shock.
They also didn't expect that in the emperor's heart, the status of the common people was so important.
The old emperor looked at the Eight Wise Kings again: "Emperor brother, the blue guards are your personal guards. You should take good care of your personal guards and don't let them cause trouble. Moreover, who doesn't know that the blue guards are all recruited by masters in the world? Come on, if they really cause trouble, who can take care of it? Can the police take care of it?"
The Eight Wise Kings were obedient: "Brother Huang taught me a lesson very well."
The old emperor thought that Yan Qi had killed Lan Yiwei's men, and the Eighth Sage King pursued him and wanted to support him.
After handling this matter, the old emperor wiped the sweat from his face and stood up with difficulty: "I'm tired, I'm going back to the palace first."
When the Eight Wise Kings heard this, they were overjoyed and said, "Congratulations to your royal brother."
Yan Qi said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I am guilty, but you haven't tried me yet."
"Huh? Are you guilty?"
The old emperor was stunned again: "You killed well, how can you be guilty? Deputy Prime Minister Yan, I don't understand what you are saying."
Yan Qi said to the old emperor: "After detailed evidence collection, we learned that these blue-clad guards who oppressed good people, extorted money, collected sacrificial taxes, and disguised themselves as detectives were all doing it according to the emperor's instructions."
"Since the emperor wants them to do evil and do bad things, then it is just and above board. If I kill these evil blue guards, am I not guilty?"
The old emperor was startled. He ducked away, staggering, and hurriedly supported Gao Shangtian. He looked at Yan Qi with wide eyes: "Please tell me clearly. What does the evil deeds done by the blue guards have to do with me?"
Yan Qidao: "Your Majesty, are you still hiding it? Now, everyone knows that it was the Emperor who ordered the blue-clothed guards to disguise themselves as detectives and conduct strict checks on the people in the city. Anyone found not wearing plain clothes or wearing a filial belt , he will be arrested and imprisoned."
"Of course, the emperor also gave the order. As long as these people pay the money, they will be exempted from fines."
When the old emperor heard this, his face became increasingly ugly.
Yan Qi continued to say vividly: "Also, the emperor has issued a sacrificial tax, which is enforced by the blue-clad guards, forcing the people to pay the tax. If they do not pay, it is a crime, and people will be arrested."
"Even, even
There are regulations for sitting together. "
"Many people have died these days, all killed by the blue guards. However, since the emperor ordered the blue guards to do what they did, then they should do it right and above board."
The old emperor Long Yan was furious: "Yan Qi, shut up. Since when did I let the blue-clad guards do these unethical things? You don't want to put a shit basin on my head. I love my people like my own son, how could I do this kind of thing?" Something dirty is coming?"
Yan Qidao: "There is evidence that the emperor ordered the blue-clad guards to do it."
The old emperor was angry and stared at Yan Qi: "Where is the evidence? Where is it? Who is the evidence?"
Yan Qi looked sideways at the Eighth Sage King: "The Eighth Sage King is the witness."
When the Eighth Sage King heard this, he shook his body with excitement, dripping with cold sweat, as if he had jumped into the river and taken a cold bath.
In my heart, grass grows and I feel uneasy.
"The Eight Wise Kings?"
The emperor gritted his teeth: "Yan Qi, what's going on? Please tell me in detail from beginning to end. Don't try to sell anything."
Yan Qidao: "The blue-clad guard committed an adultery and committed a crime. Of course I want to find out what happened to the Eight Wise Kings. Moreover, I think that the blue-clothed guards were ordered to do such unscrupulous things by the Eight Wise Kings."
"Unexpectedly, the Eight Wise Kings said that it was because of the emperor's orders that the blue guards were allowed to run rampant."
"I asked the Eight Wise Kings, since it was the emperor's order, whether there was a decree issued or a handwriting from the emperor."
"However, the Eight Wise Kings said that the emperor did not issue a decree or a handwritten edict, only the emperor's oral edict. Because the emperor was in poor health, he never made up for the handwritten edict."
"Your Majesty, what do you think of the Eight Wise Kings? They are virtuous and virtuous people, and they can be called sages. Can what he said be false? He said it was the emperor's oral instructions, so that is 100% correct. ."
"So, Your Majesty, please don't explain any more. All the bad things done by the blue-robed guards were your instigation."
"Fart, it's all fart!"
The old emperor was furious and kicked the chair over. His face turned pale and he was panting. He glared at the Eight Wise Kings and called him by his name: "Xiankang, kneel down."
The Eighth Sage King trembled.
The old emperor stretched out his arm and hit the Eight Wise Kings with the scepter in his hand.
boom!
The scepter hit the Eight Wise Kings on the forehead.
Blood gurgled out.
The old emperor was furious: "Kneel down."
