Just as Yun Zheng was about to ask, Gao He came on horseback to report: "Your Majesty, the soldiers ahead wanted to check the baggage we were carrying, but Du Guiyuan and his men refused and had a conflict with the soldiers at the gate."
Checking baggage?
Shen Luoyan's heart suddenly jumped.
Now she knows that those coffins are filled with gold and silver!
If this were to be discovered, there would probably be some trouble!
Yun Zheng frowned slightly and looked at Wei Shuo with a half-smile, "General Wei, are you going to investigate even this king?"
"Your Majesty, you will understand!" Wei Shuo smiled and said, "It's not that I am deliberately making things difficult for you, but the court has a rule that anyone entering or leaving Beilu Pass must be strictly checked to prevent the Beihuan spies from plotting something bad!"
"Beihuan spy?"
Yun Zheng raised his eyebrows, "General Wei, you don't think there are spies from Beihuan among my people, do you?"
"I dare not!"
...
...
Wei Shuo clasped his fists and said, "I am also following the rules. Please don't make it difficult for me, Your Majesty!"
Wei Shuo was not panicked at all.
He was just following the court's rules.
Even if Yun Zheng was dissatisfied, he had nothing to say.
Even if the matter is brought to the emperor, he will not say a word of blame.
Chen Luoyan frowned and said with a dark face: "General Wei, the court asked you to strictly check the people who entered and left Beilu Pass. It wants you to check whether those spies have hidden weapons to attack the key points of Beilu Pass. Our weapons are all on us, what are you checking? Do you want someone to search this princess' body?"
"I dare not!"
Wei Shuo quickly shook his head.
Search the body of Princess Chen Luoyan?
Even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare to do this!
"That's enough, that's enough!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand and said to Shen Luoyan with a smile: "Since it is the rule of the court, let's not embarrass General Wei, just let them investigate."
As he spoke, Yun Zheng quietly winked at Shen Luoyan again.
Shen Luoyan frowned slightly. Although she was confused, Yun Zheng had already spoken, so she couldn't say anything more.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"
Wei Shuo clasped his fists.
"Let's go, it's time for us to enter the customs!"
Yun Zheng smiled at Chen Luoyan and quickly jumped onto the horse.
Shen Luoyan also got on the horse and looked at Yun Zheng worriedly.
Yun Zheng just smiled at her, telling her not to worry.
Although Shen Luoyan was a little worried, she saw that Yun Zheng was full of confidence and said no more.
When the two arrived at the gate of the pass, Yun Zheng immediately signaled and ordered Du Guiyuan and others to retreat, and said to Wei Shuo: "General Wei, can you call more people to check quickly? Don't delay my trip!"
"yes!"
Wei Shuo immediately ordered someone to call more soldiers to investigate.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yun Zheng whispered a few words to Gao He.
Gao He understood and gave Yun Zheng a reassuring look.
Soon, a group of soldiers trotted out from Beilu Pass and, under Wei Shuo's order, checked the baggage carried by Yun Zheng and his men.
However, those soldiers still had some sense of propriety.
The soldiers did not dare to rummage through the clothes they carried with them, but just glanced at them.
Soon, a group of soldiers came to the coffins.
Judging from their expressions, they obviously want to open the coffin for inspection.
When Shen Luoyan and other insiders saw this, they immediately became nervous.
“Bold!”
At this moment, Gao He suddenly shouted, "General Wei, what do you mean? Do you want to open the coffin and inspect it?"
Facing Gao He's questioning, Wei Shuo just laughed and replied: "I am not being disrespectful to Your Majesty, I am just following the rules of the court."
Wei Shuo once again brought up the court rules.
"Don't use the court's rules to pressure me!"
Gao He snorted coldly and shouted angrily, "When the prince left the imperial city with his coffin, His Majesty did not even ask anyone to open the coffin for inspection! Opening the coffin is unlucky, especially when the prince first arrived in Shuobei? Why, are you so anxious to see the prince die? Why are you so impatient to put the prince in the coffin?"
Gao He's stern questioning frightened the soldiers who wanted to open the coffin.
This matter is small at the same time as it is big.
If the situation really gets out of hand, Wei Shuo, the commander of Beilu Pass, will definitely be in trouble.
However, faced with such harsh questioning from Gao He, Wei Shuo remained unmoved.
"This is the rule of the court!"
Wei Shuo said calmly, "Unless the emperor gives special permission, everyone must be interrogated!"
Gao He wanted to say more, but Yun Zheng raised his hand to stop him.
"Let him check!"
Yun Zheng glanced at Wei Shuo with a sullen look, and growled at Gao He, "Don't bother them! Go, open the coffin for me! I want to see what he can find out today!"
“Your Majesty…”
Gao He said angrily: "Opening the coffin right after entering Shuobei, it's really..."
"The King lets you go!"
Yun Zheng shouted angrily, his face turning ashen.
Seeing Yun Zheng getting angry, Gao He didn't dare to say anything more and hurried to the coffin.
Bang!
Gao He slapped the lid of the coffin open with his palm and roared with a frosty face: "Open your dog eyes and check carefully!"
The soldiers around were intimidated by Gao He's aura and were reluctant to step forward to check.
It was not until Wei Shuo gave them a look that they mustered up the courage to step forward.
The coffin was completely empty, there was really nothing to check.
"General, there is nothing!"
The soldier in charge of the investigation immediately informed Wei Shuo of the results.
"Open all the coffins!"
Yun Zheng looked at Wei Shuo furiously, "Don't say that I'm making things difficult for you. Get up here right now and I'll let you check it yourself!"
Faced with Yun Zheng's anger, Wei Shuo was still a little scared after all.
No matter how unpopular Yun Zheng is, he is still a prince!
If this matter gets out of hand, it will definitely not be good for him.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Wei Shuo quickly bowed and apologized, "I am also following the rules..."
"I didn't ask you not to follow the rules!"
Yun Zheng looked at Wei Shuo coldly, "I'll give you a chance to check it yourself! Otherwise you can say that these soldiers didn't check it carefully!"
Facing Yun Zheng's gaze, Wei Shuo hurriedly laughed and said, "Since it has already been checked, there is no need to check again!"
Having said that, Wei Shuo quickly asked the soldiers at the city gate to let them pass.
"are you sure?"
Yun Zheng's eyes were still cold, "Those five coffins haven't been checked yet! What's inside are the evidence of my rebellion in Shuobei. Why don't you check them carefully?"
"Your Majesty is joking."
Wei Shuo smiled and said, "I apologize for my offense, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Having said that, Wei Shuo quickly asked someone to close the lid of the open coffin.
"snort!"
Yun Zheng snorted coldly, waved his hand at everyone with a frosty face, and signaled everyone to quickly enter the pass.
Shen Luoyan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Aren't you afraid that he will really investigate?"
"He didn't have a chance to check!"
Yun Zheng smiled disapprovingly and said, "This bastard is not stupid. I just said that those were the evidence of my treason and was waiting for him to respond! I wanted to slap this bastard twice in public, but he didn't give me the chance..."
As he spoke, a hint of disappointment flashed in Yun Zheng's eyes.
Shen Luoyan paused for a moment, then reacted.
His Majesty has said that anyone who dares to accuse him of treason will be beaten to death, except for himself!
If Wei Shuo had continued what Yun Zheng said just now, he would definitely have been slapped twice!
This bastard!
That’s so sinister!
