Chapter 182 Burning sacrifices (eight)

Rong Jin begged for mercy and pointed his finger at Rong He who was standing aside.

He knew that the matter was a big deal this time. The emperor's anger was irrational. If there was a clue, he would definitely be in trouble.

Rong He calmly glanced at Rong Jin, "Rong Jin, the person who was chasing him was the personal soldiers around his father. I didn't move any soldiers and soldiers. The people I caught were all masters in your palace. Why did you say I was framed? Does this palace still have the ability to instruct the people in your palace to go to the altar to wait for their appointment?"

Rong Jin got up from the ground, no longer had the usual dignity and self-control, and pointed at Bai Ling angrily and said, "The only thing in the court and the country is that you and Bai Ling have the best relationship, and only you have the most motive!"

Everyone turned their eyes to the prince, and indeed, this was correct.

Rong He sneered, "Of course I have a good relationship with Bai Ling, so I am very happy that he can have such glory today. Why do I want to send someone to kidnap him? Isn't that going to trap Bai Ling for injustice?"

"Crown Prince, you are full of quibbling!" Rong Jin was so angry that he vomited blood. Usually he was the only one who was angry with the prince, but he didn't expect that the prince today seemed particularly calm and did not seem to be guilty.

"Second brother, it's wrong for you to say this to elder brother." The third prince Rong Sheng stood up and said to the emperor: "Father, my son can see clearly during this period. When Lord Bai Ling was preparing to burn the sacrifice, the elder brother was busy helping him a lot, and even the Ministry of Rites ran several times, for fear that there would be something inappropriate because of the tight time."

The eunuch handed over herbal tea to reduce the fire, and the emperor calmed down after drinking it all.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to the third prince, "I also know this. The prince also borrowed people. It would be difficult for Bai Ling to enter and exit the palace during this period."

Rong Sheng continued, "Yes. If the elder brother had the motivation to rob Lord Bai Ling, then I wouldn't see it at all. If he had the intention to rob him, he should have done it behind closed doors. Why bother to rush in and out? On the contrary, the second brother has never seen anyone during this period. I wonder what he is busy with?"

Rong Jinduan didn't expect that the third brother would actually make a thrust into the middle. He was so angry that his breath was uneven. He moved two steps towards the emperor. "They sang and reconciled, it was obvious that they were going to kill me! Father, you can't believe them!"

When the emperor heard his discernment, he became even more angry and threw the teacup in his hand. "Then what happened to your subordinates at the southeast foot?! I ordered that only the imperial guards around me were allowed to appear on the day of the sacrifice. Do you understand?! You dare to say that you are innocent!"

The emperor's anger echoed in the entire Jin'an Palace.

Even Concubine Zhang outside the hall gate heard it, which was even louder than the sound of rain, but no matter how much she shouted, she could only be stopped outside the hall by the guards.

"Father, I will send someone there because—" Rong Jin wanted to tell the difference, but almost blurted out an important secret. He swallowed and said, "I found out that the prince had a strange movement and tried to rob Bai Ling and destroy the sacrifice, so I set up a man there. As long as the prince had a strange movement, he would capture it immediately, so that he could seize the stolen goods."

After saying this, several confidant ministers under the Second Prince had closed their eyes speechlessly.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said suspiciously: "Information? What kind of information? Where did you get the information? How could you know the prince's movement?"

"Son-in-law..." Rong Jin was too anxious today and realized that he was inappropriate in his speech.

Even though everyone knows that no one in the court has any suspicion, the emperor has always been the most annoying about intrigue.

No matter how pussy the prince is, the second prince should not be in trouble. He has left a spy around the prince for information.

Qin Guang, Minister of War, immediately spoke out: "Your Majesty, there is no need to ask the source of the information now. The main reason is whether the information of the second prince is true? Does the prince have any plans to rob Bai Ling? Also, recovering Bai Ling is the top priority!"

Tao Mingrui, the young master of Dali Temple, snorted coldly, "Bai Jue from Bai's mansion has gone to investigate the power, so we naturally have to figure out the whole story, otherwise we will stay until so late to do something? Could it be that we are having a tea party with the second prince?"

"Rong Jin, what's going on!" the emperor asked.

Rong Jin was already anxiously smoking, "Father!... I did get the news, the prince wanted to kidnap Bai Ling. The son-in-law really has no reason to lie."

"Isn't it really not?" Tao Mingrui asked, "As far as I know, since the emperor ordered the collection and recording of documents, the second prince has been impatient and exhausted his efforts. He also spent a lot of manpower to search, but it was futile and he did not find a single piece. On the contrary, His Royal Highness and Lord Bai Ling have made contributions repeatedly and have important information in his hands. To put it bluntly, Lord Bai Ling is the source of the information. Did the second prince still say that there is no reason to rob Bai Ling?"

Rong Jin roared loudly, "Tao Mingrui! You are so slandering! Even if I want to get it, I will record the documents. I robbed Bai Ling in full view of everyone. What is the difference between this and suicide?"

"Then I don't know. Before I found Bai Ling, all the guesses were reasonable. Otherwise, how would you explain the second prince? When you get the information, you are not telling the emperor about this major event, but secretly hiding it and waiting for the prince to rob people at the sacrifice? This is irrelevant!"

Tao Mingrui's words captured the second prince's unexplainable life gate, blocking him from a hundred words.

"You! - I just want to arrest the current situation! This way the evidence is more sufficient. Otherwise, he would blame me for accusing him, who should the father believe?"

Tao Mingrui sneered at his answer and continued to press forward step by step, "Second Prince, this is not a scandal to catch a villain. This is the top priority of the Southern Yan Dynasty! Shouldn't we prevent problems before they happen? It is important to grasp the current situation, or is it important for Nan Yan's face? Is the second prince just thinking about himself?"

"Mr. Tao's words are a guess out of thin air. What is the basis for it?" Qin Guang asked.

Tao Mingrui was a little surprised and questioned him at this time. He said to the emperor: "Emperor, Lord Bai Ling had been to Dali Temple once before the sacrifice arrived, and reminded us many times that the investigation and documentary was recorded. More than once mentioned that the second prince was eager to achieve success and had privately tried to trade to ask the Bai family to sell the documentary to the second prince. Lord Liang, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, also knows about this."

Lord Liang was named, so he had no choice but to come out to testify, "Go back to the emperor, this is indeed the case."

None of the second prince's confidants spoke.

Judging from all the arguments and the evidence that the dark soldiers were caught on the day of the sacrifice, they were all unfavorable to Rong Jin.
