Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 248
"Yes, noble concubine."

Dugu Feng responded quickly.

"Dugu Feng, I ask you, why did you beat Murong Zhen to death?"

Dugu Yi asked coldly.

"Reporting to your Majesty, that Murong Zhen spread rumors with the intention of provoking a conflict between the Hou Mansion and the Prime Minister. He has a very evil intention. I think I can kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and frighten the young people."

Dugu Feng replied calmly.

"You said Murong Zhen had ulterior motives, is there any evidence?"

Dugu Yi asked coldly.

"Reporting to your Majesty, there was originally a witness, but unfortunately he committed suicide. However, the prime minister can testify about this matter. The soldier testified against Murong Zhen at that time."

Dugu Feng looked at Lu Hao, hoping that he would come forward.

"Suicide? That means there is no human witness? What about the physical evidence?"

Duguyi asked again.

"Physical evidence? This... doesn't exist!"

Dugu Feng shook his head in embarrassment.

"Since there is no physical evidence, how can we be sure that it was Murong Zhen who did it? What if someone deliberately framed him?"

Dugu Yi asked in a cold voice.

Dugu Feng was immediately speechless, and Dugu Shenyong was also extremely embarrassed at this time and didn't know how to answer.

"Mother, there is indeed no human or physical evidence for this matter. However, someone did confess that Murong Zhen did it at that time, and that person was also Murong Zhen's subordinate in the Guards. Therefore, there is reason to suspect that this matter is related to Murong Zhen has a great connection."

"It's just that during the interrogation, Lord Dugu was indeed a bit harsh, and that's why he accidentally beat Murong Zhen to death."

Lu Hao stepped forward and said loudly.

"Prime Minister, you don't need to absolve Dugu Feng of his guilt. His sternum is broken and his chest is dented. Is this just a bit harsh? This is obviously intentional murder!"

Dugu Yi's face became darker and darker.

Look at the posture in front of you. The imperial concubine has been stubborn for many years. What exactly does she want to do?
Even if Dugu Feng is at fault, he is still Dugu Yi's eldest brother. This noble concubine will not destroy her relatives out of justice!

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became dead silent, and no one dared to speak.

"My dear concubine, Murong Zhen insulted me at that time. Feng'er was stimulated and impulsive, so she accidentally beat Murong Zhen to death..."

Dugu Shenyong stood up.

"The imperial concubine didn't know something. Murong Zhen insulted me and my father and called him a dog of the Murong family. That's why the minister got angry for a while and struck too harshly. The butler can testify to this."

Dugu Feng was still quibbling.

"Can the Marquis's housekeeper testify? Can the Murong family believe it? Ask others if they can believe it?"

Dugu Yi asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, this thing has happened even if it didn't happen. Look at it now...what should we do?"

Lu Hao asked with a grimace.

"Dugu Feng cannot absolve himself of the blame for this matter. I think he should be dismissed and investigated, and the royal family should be silenced."

Dugu Yi responded in a deep voice.

"What? Dismissal and investigation?"

Dugu Feng was shocked.

"Mother, do I think dismissal and investigation are too serious? Why not suspend me from duty and reflect? Give me a slight punishment!"

Dugu Shenyong quickly came out to plead for mercy.

"Okay, as the Marquis ordered, Dugu Feng will suspend his duties and reflect, as a warning to others! The government affairs of the Ministry of War will be temporarily taken care of by the Prime Minister. As for when Dugu Feng will be reinstated, it will depend on how he admits his mistakes."

"Prime Minister, the imperial court will issue a document to inform the world about this matter, and at the same time appease the various vassals of the royal family."

Dugu Yi ordered in a deep voice.

"Follow the imperial edict!"

Lu Hao responded immediately.

Dugu Yi stood up happily, walked to Dugu Feng, and looked at him deeply, looking affectionate, complicated, and very entangled.

At his father's signal, Dugu Feng said nothing more and suppressed his anger.Dugu Shenyong didn't look very good, but he could only give up.

As for the other ministers, the old god was there, with an attitude of not caring about the matter.

Lu Hao did not target Dugu Feng, but Concubine Yi Gui came to punish him, which was a good way to get the best of both worlds.

However, can suspension of duty and self-reflection appease the furious Nine Emperors Uncle?Can you deal with those royal relatives?Can it appease the feudal kings everywhere?

I'm afraid it's a bit whimsical!
Lu Hao didn't say much. After all, the fire had been lit, so he had better go farther to avoid harming Chi Yu.

Sure enough, as Lu Hao expected, Dugu Feng was suspended from his post for self-reflection, but Uncle Nine Emperors still refused to let him go.

……

Yiquan Palace.

Dugu Shenyong, his son, and Concubine Yi are discussing countermeasures.

"Sister, why are you targeting me? Murong Zhen relied on his royal status to call our father and son the dogs of their Murong family! Killing him would be an advantage for him."

Dugu Feng remained stubborn and shouted angrily at Dugu Yi.

"Daughter, I feel that Feng'er has done nothing wrong. I have risked my life and death for the empire. Could it be that I am just one of their dogs?"

Dugu Shenyong also looked very angry.

"What's the use of being angry? See for yourselves."

Duguyi threw out a petition.

Dugu Shenyong took it and took a look, and his expression suddenly changed again and again. He finally understood why his daughter wanted to suspend Dugu Feng for reflection?
"These royal relatives are so despicable! How can they threaten you mother and son?"

Dugu Shenyong was very angry.

"What are they threatening my sister for?"

Dugu Feng grabbed it.

"A group of despicable people actually made trouble for the prince. Even without the support of their royal family, wouldn't Yao'er be able to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor?"

Dugu Shenyong said coldly.

"Father is right. With the Prime Minister's support, are we still afraid of those old guys?"

Dugu Feng also disagreed.

"You underestimate the royal family too much. Don't you know that there is a very powerful ancestor in the imperial mausoleum?"

Duguyi asked rhetorically.

"I heard that this ancestor has reached the Grandmaster level. Is it true? I have never seen him before."

Dugu Shenyong frowned slightly and said in thought.

"This matter must be true, and besides the ancestors, there are also a group of royal ascetics, all of whom are eighth- and ninth-grade masters..."

Duguyi confirmed.

"With so many masters, no wonder the Murong family has been standing in Qianyuan Continent for hundreds of years!"

Dugu Feng was also secretly shocked.

"So I have no choice but to punish you."

Duguyi expressed her difficulties.

"The top experts of the eighth and ninth grades can still be solved by manpower. However, the master-level experts have entered the realm of land gods. It is not possible to solve the problem with more people."

Dugu Shenyong said with a grimace.

"Are we, the Dugu family, always going to be oppressed by them? I don't believe that any master-level master is invincible!"

Dugu Feng said angrily.

"Feng'er is right. Will our Dugu family never succeed? Even a master-level master cannot be invincible!"

Dugu Shenyong echoed.

"Dad, is there any way to deal with a master-level expert?"

Dugu Feng's eyes flashed with cold light, and murderous intent emerged.
