Chapter 111: Stopping the People from Dali Temple
It was you who forged weapons and betrayed the country!"
Collaboration with the enemy and selling out the country! Zhai Yun heard that this serious crime was easily detained by Su Beiqian, and sneered: "Sir Su, Prince Rui just found out that someone secretly built a private foundry, and this news was secretly passed to Emperor Xing'an. Now few people in the imperial court know about it.
How come you sent people to search Prince Rui's mansion right after Emperor Xing'an sent people to the private mint? Right and wrong can be proven once the private mint is searched and the evidence is found. Why are you so impatient to find a scapegoat? Could it be that the private mint has some connection to you?
"Slander!" Su Beiqian, sweating profusely, pointed at Zhai Yun with a trembling hand. "I received a report that Prince Rui's Mansion was secretly storing weapons, so I brought people here to investigate. I never imagined that the weapons hidden in Prince Rui's Mansion were actually the inferior arrows that the Emperor had been pursuing."
Seeing Su Beiqian's refusal to admit it, Zhai Yun asked, "Su Beiqian said someone reported him. So, may I ask, sir, who reported him? Where is this person?"
Su Beiqian was so excited by Zhai Yun's questions that he broke out in a sweat and looked at Zhai Yun without saying a word.
Zhai Yun pressed on, "You can't say, because this person doesn't exist. This whole thing was staged by Lord Su himself, to frame Prince Rui's mansion and Prince Rui. And the reason you have this arrow is because you were contaminated by those fake arrows, and you forged those fake arrows!"
Every word Zhai Yun spoke was so powerful that it forced Su Beiqian to retreat step by step, sweating profusely.
Everyone was shocked by this scene. They thought Prince Rui was already a difficult character to deal with, but they didn't expect that the guard Zhai Yun beside him was even worse.
She was just a small guard, but at this moment her aura was like that of thousands of troops, suppressing the dignified Shaoqing of the Dali Temple so much that he dared not breathe.
Tian Fei was stunned when she looked at Zhai Yun. She had never seen a person who could be so heroic and effortlessly move the person in charge of the law of a country to the point that he could not utter a word. Tian Fei had already praised Zhai Yun a thousand times in her heart.
Everyone was shocked by what Zhai Yun said and the aura he exuded, as if he was the current master of Prince Rui's Mansion.
Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun, feeling both shocked and impressed. He had always known that Zhai Yun was very outstanding, but she was just a weak person beside him, but when facing outsiders, she had a completely different aura, as if she was standing alone against ten thousand enemies.
With such a Zhai Yun and such a powerful aura, many men today would feel ashamed of themselves!
And he, the dignified King Rui, a man who is stronger than many men, is actually often protected by such a woman.
Although Zhai Yun knew in her heart that Su Beiqian did not have such great ability, but he could accuse Feng Chenyi of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, why couldn't she accuse him of privately casting military weapons?
This is called tit for tat.
Su Beiqian looked at Zhai Yun angrily, pointed at her with bared teeth, and raised a slap: "You bold slave, you are just a dog in front of Prince Rui, how dare you slander the court officials."
As he was speaking, a slap was about to fall. Just as Zhai Yun was about to reach out to catch it, a hand had already firmly grasped Su Beiqian's falling hand. Everyone present only felt a gust of wind blowing past.
Feng Chenyi, who was beside Tian Fei, had already appeared in front of Zhai Yun. Feng Chenyi looked at Su Beiqian sharply, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Seeing Feng Chenyi blocking his hand, Su Beiqian was furious: "Prince Rui, you may have made some military achievements, but don't forget who has the final say in Fengli Kingdom! You are a traitor, aren't you afraid of being condemned by the whole world?"
Zhai Yun looked at Su Beiqian and smiled coldly, "Master Su, do you believe that you and the people you brought with you will disappear quietly in Prince Rui's mansion today?"
As Zhai Yun spoke, there was murderous intent in her eyes. She looked at Su Beiqian like a wolf staring at a sheep, as if as long as Zhai Yun wanted, Su Beiqian would be like an ant, powerless to resist.
Su Beiqian's face turned pale instantly when he heard Zhai Yun's words. With Feng Chenyi's speed, it would be easy to kill him. They could really make him and his men disappear here.
"Do you know what crime it is to assassinate an imperial official?" Su Beiqian stared at Zhai Yun with wide eyes, with obvious fear in his eyes.
Zhai Yun looked at him and smiled, "Who saw it? The Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple led a group to search the palace, but was attacked by a vicious dog in the palace and died in the line of duty. What do you think of this explanation?"
As Zhai Yun spoke, her smile grew thicker as she looked at Su Beiqian, a smile that seemed to be poisoned.
All the guards of Prince Rui's Mansion changed their formation as if they had received an order, surrounded the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion, and blocked the people from the Dali Temple inside the mansion.
Feng Chenyi slowly let go of Su Beiqian's hand and followed Zhai Yun backwards in tacit understanding. The people from the Dali Temple were a little flustered when they saw the guards from Prince Rui's Mansion blocking the entrance.
Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi retreated under the eaves and looked at Su Beiqian and his men who were surrounded in the palace, as if they would issue a killing order at any time.
Su Beiqian looked at the guards of Prince Rui's mansion who were slowly surrounding him and stood unsteadily. He still underestimated Prince Rui. Naturally, he would not take him seriously since he could openly kill the guards around Emperor Xing'an.
He and his men would really die here. These guards in the palace don't look like ordinary people.
However, he was unwilling to die in Prince Rui's mansion. He was determined to expose Prince Rui's crimes to the public and make him pay the price. Su Beiqian fiercely ordered: "Kill them!"
The people in Dali Temple also realized that they needed to fight for their lives, and they all prepared for battle. If they couldn't fight their way out, they would really die here.
And the way they died would be given a random excuse.
The guards of the palace were also fully prepared. Compared with the people from the Dali Temple, the guards of the palace were much calmer. They held swords in their hands without any fear, and their momentum had already crushed the people from the Dali Temple.
A war could break out at any time.
"The prince has arrived——"
"The third prince has arrived——"
Two bursts of loud shouts were heard at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion. Before the last shouts had faded, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince had already appeared at the gate of the mansion, accompanied by the imperial guards.
The guards blocking the entrance to the palace were divided into two groups, one to resist from inside and the other to resist from outside. The Crown Prince and the Third Prince saw this scene as soon as they arrived at the entrance.
Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi stood under the eaves in the distance. The atmosphere at the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion was tense. More than a dozen people with swords blocked their way. The people from the Dali Temple were surrounded by the guards of Prince Rui's Mansion.
Like a lamb to be slaughtered.
Su Beiqian and the people from the Dali Temple saw the Crown Prince and the Third Prince as if they had seen a life-saving straw. Before Su Beiqian could speak, someone shouted: "Crown Prince, Third Prince, help me, Prince Rui wants to kill people~"
Before anyone could tell who it was, someone from the Dali Temple fell down. Everyone saw that the fallen person had blood at the corner of his mouth and was motionless the moment he fell.
