Chapter 300 Guilty
Zhao Su already has no desire to interrupt, no matter what kind of person, dares to privately make a dragon robe which is a capital offense, not to mention the yellow dragon robe, if the earlier speculation about everything is still only a vague idea, when she sees this, she no longer feels so real that the conspiracy is right in front of her.
Wang Yin said the soldier Lu Chun, was soon brought up by the guards. This is a middle-aged man of about forty years, rough skin, naive look, very formal, there are still ten or so feet away from the table, his two legs are a little wobbly. To the extent that the candlelight can illuminate the eyebrows clearly, in the end did not control, he flung down on his knees: “Small, small, kowtow to see your holiness! Your Holiness long live long live long live!”
The emperor straight into normal: “This robe is what you found?”
“Small dare not lie, it is the day the saint returned to the emperor, small and a few brethren chasing the hoof traces on the stagecoach road, because of reluctance, but also tracked a section of the results of the people did not find, but in the will enter the village of the roadside tree holes and found this – the emperor’s mausoleum more than a hundred miles in the vicinity of the less trees, in accordance with the normal statutes search, not difficult to find.”
“What village is it?”
“The village only more than sixty households, mostly local farmers, but some of the merchants to go out of the customs will also pass through the tip.”
The emperor’s eyes narrowed: “Checked?”
Lu Chun stammers and replies: “Because of following General Wang back to the capital in a hurry, so did not have time to check.”
Wang Yin immediately returned: “back to the emperor, before I left has reported to the Marquis of Qingyun son, son should have sent people to check. The son of the world with more people, perhaps there will be a harvest.”
The emperor’s face cold: “Da Lisi’s people went over?”
“The people from the three divisions arrived together with Shizi, and after arriving, Shizi arranged to split up and act. The officials of the three divisions have even set up a reconnaissance office and a public hall in the palace.”
Zhao Su’s heart eased a little when he heard this, and he looked sideways at the emperor. The emperor’s face was not so grim anymore. Although Zhao Sum is usually big-headed, like a flower peacock, but to do the right thing is really reassuring, no wonder the emperor has what the secret orders down, let Zhao Sum horse.
“Since you are the first discoverer, that he was present in the favor of others. Han Jun draw two guards, immediately accompanied by Lu Chun to the Imperial Tombs, to assist Marquis Qingyuan Shi Zi to handle the case.”
“Yes!”
Han Jun signaled Lu Chun, and the two of them disappeared into the shadows.
Only the emperor, Zhao Su and Wang Yin were left present, although there were still quite a few palace men accompanying him around, but Wang Yin was still obviously less comfortable than before under the gaze of the emperor.
“Wang Yin.”
“I am here.”
“You originally stayed well in the twelve battalions of the capital city and had a good future. Why would you suddenly think of transferring to the Imperial Tombs more than a month ago?”
“My father was also a general under the late emperor, although his position was not high, but he was mindful of the late emperor’s merits. I was influenced by my father and have great admiration for the late emperor. I heard that the Ministry of war in the proposed transfer of generals to the mausoleum to supervise the work, I automatically volunteered to lead this errand.”
“Then you this idea is also very sudden. As far as I know, your family is not in favor of this. To this day, it seems they are still complaining about your impulsiveness.”
“Never!” Wang Yin said and knelt down, prostrate on the ground, also looked at the ground brick said: “Wang family by the late emperor and the emperor’s favor, how will complain about me? I transfer to the Huangling completely in line with the statute, and no violation of the act, please Emperor Mingcha!”
“I just checked after you feel that this decision is indeed a bit unreasonable, which is why I want to ask you.” The emperor’s eyes stared at him, “I heard, after the longevity festival that night, just you from the camp back to the house, about a few people in the lake drinking.”
Wang Yin offered body trembled a little, unconsciously raised his head, glanced at the emperor and then hung down: “Yes. I drank a few cups that day.”
“What did you do after drinking?”
The emperor’s voice is cool, not tight and not slow.
Wang Yin ten fingers slightly curled: “I, I later drunk, halfway home.”
“Just did not say only drank a few cups? Could it be that a few cups of wine can intoxicate a person?”
The emperor’s question is completely tenable. Because the degrees of ancient liquor could not be compared to modern white wine, a few cups of wine could not possibly knock down a military general at a drinking table.
There was an extreme silence under the scene, and it was as if Zhao Su could hear the sound of Wang Yin gulping saliva.
“My minister, my minister is indeed drunk.”
“Why do you see?”
“Because, because of that night thing ……”
Just this short sentence, but Wang Yin was like drowning, gasping for breath to be able to say it. However also still not finished.
The emperor and Zhao Su on this side of the table both looked straight at him. His breath became even more unstable, a dry huffing sound came from his throat, and suddenly he bent down, his forehead banging on the ground.
“I am guilty!”
These three words in the silence of the night sky especially explosive ears. Zhao Su looked at him, tense shoulders abruptly loosened down.
She raised her eyes: “What is your crime?”
“I have committed an unforgivable sin!”
“Tell me carefully!”
Zhao Su couldn’t help but slap the table. The bowls and plates on the table jumped up, causing the emperor to look at the table and add: “There shall be no concealment of the whitewash.”
Wang Yin mute voice: “one thing I did not lie, that night I did drink too much, to be exact, Chen’s amount of alcohol at least two or three pounds of volume, but that night only drank a few cups, I began to some dizziness. I thought the cabin was too small and stuffy, so I got up and went ashore to get some air, and it was then that I saw a girl …… sitting in the shade.”
Speaking here he was already too embarrassed to speak.
Zhao Su said, “After seeing her, did you go straight up and defile her?”
“No!” Wang Yin eager to defend, tone anxious, “I see that girl looks very standard, cheeks red, body softly leaning on the railing, a charming attitude. I don’t know how, I feel a bit of blood rushing, can’t help but go up and talk to her. I exchanged two sound girl, she did not take care of me, then next to no one in, there are some lights, but not in the main road, I was bold for a moment, to pull her wrist …… later I did not control, on, on …… ”
“You lecherous thief!”
Zhao Su cursed out. “Don’t you know who that girl is? Is that something you can touch?!”
“I deserve to die for my crime, my heart is very uneasy these days, if the emperor wants to punish me severely, I will never dare to cry foul!”
The emperor’s face has long been gloomy: “So you already know who she is?”
“I didn’t know at the time, I only realized it later!”
“Regardless of whether you knew who she was at the time or not, haven’t you ever thought about taking responsibility for the mistakes you made?” Zhao Su stood up and walked around the table to him, “As a general of the court, you shouldn’t be a coward by definition, and you hurt a tender girl, and you actually don’t even dare to take the responsibility, when it really comes to the battlefield, can the emperor still expect you to fight to the death for the court?!”
