Chapter 253: Let the Rumors Fly


The so-called good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the speed at which bad news spreads is always extremely alarming.In less than half a day, a series of murder cases that broke out in the night caused a sensation in Beijing, making a household name and becoming a great uproar for a while.From the common people in the market to the wealthy dignitaries, the government and the opposition are all paying close attention to this case, but it is different from the hot topics in the past, everyone smells the smell of danger, but they just up their ears and listens to the rumors of the outside world, and they dare not blatantly stand up and express their opinions.The confession that appeared at the scene of the murder is the most visible breakthrough in this case, and it is also the focus of shock and even frightening.That's where Ren Zhen excels.He did not kill the core culprit immediately, but told it from the outside to the inside, like telling a story, presenting a coherent and thoughtful logical sequence to the world.In this way, everyone can not only understand the reason why the deceased was killed, but also guide their curiosity step by step, and unravel the mystery step by step.Seeing that the truth is about to surface, the most anxious is naturally the culprit, Ren Zhen's cover-up method of overturning the case is to make the empress suffer and have to kill people first, so as to fall into his trap.Killing people with a knife was her usual trick, but Ren Zhen wanted to return the favor this time and achieve revenge in the most insidious way.The eyes of the masses are bright, and they can distinguish between truth and falsehood.Through the meticulous and reasonable statements in the confession, they gradually realized that perhaps what was written on it was true.Behind the two major reversal cases of the current dynasty, in fact, is a conspiracy and struggle for the change of power in the temple.The victor who plotted the conspiracy is the one who is now in power and rules the world.Paving the way with a pile of bones, the truth turned out to be so cruel.Thinking about this, the world felt sorry for the two loyal ministers who died unjustly, but also felt cold for the current court, and dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.Outside the imperial city, rumors were spreading, and in the imperial city, all the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple had arrived, waiting to meet the empress and report the details of this extraordinarily serious murder case.As the royal institutions, Langya Pavilion and Snow Shadow Guard are also waiting outside the palace, ready to dispatch all staff at any time to deal with the chaos of rumors.After a day-long court discussion, in the end, the empress made an arbitrary decision, bypassed all the case handling departments, handed over the power to investigate the case to Xue Yingwei, and ordered them to find out the murderer behind the scenes at all costs.Of course, there was a decision in the night, and it was just a play in front of the ministers.Two days later, Snow Shadow Guard played, claiming to have found the real culprit and making a list of conspirators.After getting the acquiescence of the empress, this group of eagle dogs used their housekeeping skills to launch a large-scale arrest in the capital.Snow Shadow is a murderous defender with a reputation for cruelty.As soon as they made a move, the people in the city were immediately panicked, and the residents were afraid that they would be implicated and fall victim to this political game.Snow Shadow Guard's movements were very fast, and a large number of officials were quickly imprisoned, charged with conspiracy against their accomplices, and beheaded on the street on the same day.What is outrageous is that even the families of those officials did not escape, and the whole family was executed, leaving no one alive, and blood was splashed in the vegetable market.The deceased of the murder case, but only sixteen people, and the murderers who were traced out, there were dozens of families, and nearly 1,000 people were executed, what a bloody massacre this In order to prevent the truth from being leaked, someone overturned the case afterwards, Snow Shadow Wei would rather not indulge in vain, and did not hesitate to kill innocents indiscriminately, this cruel method exceeded Ren Zhen's expectations, and once again awakened the world's memory of the year.Ren Tianxing's rebellion, Gao Cheng's rebellion, and Beihai's copywriting, when the three major cases broke out that year, the empress also wantonly killed dissidents, bloodbathed the government and the opposition, and made the subjects of the Northern Tang Dynasty frightened.Today's bloody case, nominally to eradicate Gao Zhan's accomplices, is similar to the situation back then.Although the world could not prove that Gao Zhan was wronged, and those confessions were also false, through the strong response of the empress now, he once again deepened his understanding of her.seems to be gentle and amiable, like a spring breeze, behind a smiling face, but there is a violent and ruthless heart.Cutting down the grass and eradicating everything, this is her true face.At this point, people no longer dare to care about the truth.Even if they knew the truth, they were powerless to change anything, they just wanted to pray that the turmoil would dissipate as soon as possible, so that the empress's thunderous anger would subside, and the capital would return to normal as soon as possible.However, some people are destined to be reluctant to swallow their voices.The empress went on a killing spree, which made Ren Zhen feel angry.He thought that in the face of heavy pressure from public opinion, she should have some scruples and dare not act recklessly, but he didn't expect that this woman would be so crazy that she would treat nearly a thousand lives like a mustard.He was angry, so he fought back again.That night, before Ye Wuji died, Ren Zhen rushed to see him for the last time, and learned from his grandfather that the Ye family had kept a lot of letters back then, which was enough to prove the crimes committed by the gangsters.At that time, he promised Ye Wuji that he would take his cousin Ye Tianming in and escort him out of the city, and in exchange, he had to get all the evidence.People are about to die, and their words are also good, Ye Wuji remorseful for the crimes of the year and agreed to Ren Zhen's conditions.So, Ren Zhen quickly got the letters left behind at the address he provided.Now, the empress refers to the deer as a horse, pulls Gao Zhan out as a scapegoat, and tries to reverse black and white, but he is willing to give up.He copied old letters with Gu Haitang, wrote countless copies, and then distributed them overnight, like snowflakes, and launched a bombardment of leaflets, covering all corners of Chang'an City.The next morning, when the citizens woke up and pushed open the door, it was overwhelmingly filled with letters full of evidence.It's an exaggeration that even the door of the Snow Shadow Assassin's house is stuffed with leaflets, and even if you want to collect and destroy it, it's too late.The entire Chang'an City fell into Ren Zhen's crazy flyer offensive.This time, it is no longer a step-by-step story, but a summary of the truth, which is reasonable and convincing.The lies that Yuan Benxi painstakingly weaved were suddenly self-defeating.Now, the truth is completely revealed, and the grievances that have been dusted for many years can finally be revealed.At the beginning of the founding of the country, the military power was in the hands of the loyal Ren Tianxing, loyal to Emperor Taizu Gao Jue.Empress Wu Qingyi and others tried to usurp the throne, but they could not cross the barrier of Ren Tianxing, so they conspired to fabricate a series of perjuries to frame Ren Tianxing, so that Taizu believed it to be true, so he ordered to encircle and suppress Ren Tianxing and regain military power.After stumbling over the biggest obstacle to the temple, there was also the mountain of Gao Cheng in front of her, and the empress still couldn't steal the power.Even if she sent someone to kill Taizu, with Gao Cheng's reputation as a virtuous king, she would inevitably be supported by the Northern Tang Dynasty scholars and inherit the throne.As the queen, she still can't succeed.So, she colluded with Gao Cheng's staff, and when he was on patrol, she rebelled in the name of King Xiang and attacked the palace.This move killed two birds with one stone, not only eradicating Gao Cheng's threat, but also combining inside and outside, seriously injuring Taizu, and laying the groundwork for her succession.After these two people died unjustly, throughout the Northern Tang Dynasty and the opposition, no one could compete with the empress and the party, and the change of power was completed.After Taizu died of illness, there was no prince in the East Palace, King Xiang was dead, King Yong was mediocre and incompetent, and in addition, there was no orthodox royal bloodline.So, the Wu Party pushed the boat down the river, helped Wu Qingyi onto the dragon chair, and ruled the world.Today, these two bloody cases have been uncovered at the same time, which means that all the subjects of the Northern Tang Dynasty have understood that the accession to the throne of the empress Wu Qingyi was not a helpless move forced by the situation at all, but a usurpation conspiracy to hide from the world.Today's emperor is actually a thief:
