The prince's words rang loudly, and the entire hall fell into dead silence again.

The emperor lowered his head, his brows furrowed, and at a certain moment he suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao Zhang and asked, "Xiao Zhang, what do you have to say?"

Xiao Zhang suddenly felt that there were 10,000 drafts rushing in front of him, not to mention the depression, the plan he had already made was about to be shattered in the blink of an eye.

However, things did not hit a dead end, Xiao Zhang thought of a way after a little thought, but it was a solution that was not a way.

"Back to Your Majesty, what the prince said is true. Xiao Zhang was very honest, because he knew that he couldn't hide it in front of the emperor, "The souls of the three big bosses are indeed in the hands of the ministers. ”

As soon as these words came out, the dead lobby was in an uproar.

In fact, just now, almost all the ministers thought that the prince was a dog jumping over the wall to slander Xiao Zhang, but unexpectedly, Xiao Zhang admitted it on the spot! This is a crime of deceiving the king, and it will kill the head at the least, and exterminate the nine clans at the worst!

The prince smiled proudly: "Xiao Zhang, it's not bad, you dare to admit that this palace thinks you will use your iron and bronze teeth." ”

The emperor's face was very ugly, he stared at Xiao Zhang quietly for a long time, and then asked, "Xiao Zhang, are you guilty?"

Xiao Zhang suddenly looked inexplicable: "The minister doesn't know what the crime is." ”

There was an uproar in the hall again!

The ministers can say that they have never seen anyone who dares to talk back to the emperor when they are so big, but today they have seen it, and they have grown a long insight.

On the contrary, the emperor was amused by Xiao Zhang, and asked with a smile: "You have collected the souls of the three big bosses, and you have concealed them from me and plotted against me, this is the crime of bullying the king." Do you know the seriousness of the crime of deceit?"

Xiao Zhang was even more inexplicable: "The minister did receive the souls of the three big bosses, but he never wanted to hide it from His Majesty, so I don't know where this crime of bullying the king begins?"

There is some truth in this, Xiao Zhang just hasn't had time to mention this matter, but he doesn't say it with a dead face, so he can't talk about the crime of bullying the king.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, his face looked a little better, and he nodded and glanced at the prince, but he did not speak, as if he was waiting for the prince to speak.

The crown prince originally thought that the victory was in his hands, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhang to just lightly stir up the crime, and he actually mixed up the crime of bullying the king, he was suddenly furious, stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Zhang, and said angrily: "Xiao Zhang, you don't want to escape the guilt! If it wasn't for the palace mentioning this matter just now, you definitely wouldn't have taken the initiative to mention it!"

Xiao Zhang smiled slightly: "You are trying to impose a crime on me, but I'm sorry, I won't accept it." ”

The crown prince was furious, and he wanted to continue to say something, but he heard the emperor say: "Xiao Zhang, you continue." ”

The emperor obviously didn't want to listen to the prince's noise anymore, he wanted to know what Xiao Zhang's intention was when he received the souls of the three bosses, but as the emperor, he wouldn't pull down his son and ask carefully, just a simple sentence, it depends on whether Xiao Zhang understands the meaning.

Xiao Zhang is a smart person, of course he understands what the emperor means, so he said: "Back to Your Majesty, the situation at that time was that the three big bosses colluded with Xuanyuan Sect elder Qian Baokun to embezzle industrial property, and were discovered and arrested by Xuanyuan Sect and sentenced to death. Chen felt a little pity, the three big bosses were rare talents, and they had to find a way to rescue them. ”

The emperor was silent, but he was quietly listening.

Xiao Zhang paused and continued: "If you want to rescue him unknowingly and not be discovered by Xuanyuan Sect, you can only adopt this shady strategy to extract his soul, and then find another opportunity to let him borrow the corpse to resurrect his soul. ”

The Emperor nodded, with a slight meaning in his eyes, "So, have you found the right bodies for the three bosses?"

Xiao Zhang said nonsense, his face did not change, and his heart did not beat: "Back to Your Majesty, I haven't found it yet." Moreover, even if he finds it, the minister has no way to borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul, so he has to rely on the wonderful methods of the royal family. The minister had long intended to give the souls of the three big bosses to the court first, so that they could serve the court. ”

The emperor finally smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, very good! Xiao Zhang, you are really thoughtful, the imperial family does have the best method, and you can also find the most suitable body, so that the three big bosses can borrow corpses to resurrect their souls." ”

Xiao Zhang's heart hurts, the three big bosses who were finally rescued are about to give up like this, they are really unwilling, but they are irreparable.

However, this does not mean that the whole thing has failed, on the contrary, if everything develops according to Xiao Zhang's expectations, it may be more rewarding.

First of all, the matter of handing over the three big bosses to the emperor to do the work of borrowing corpses to return their souls should have a better effect, and it saves a lot of effort.

Secondly, with the support of the emperor, the three big bosses can be true to their names and do business on a bigger stage, and they will have more room to display and greater power.

And the three big bosses will definitely remember Xiao Zhang's kindness, and they will naturally give Xiao Zhang a lot of benefits in business in the future. You must know that the identity of the three big bosses from now on is the imperial businessman, and the power in their hands is very good, and if they give a little cheap, it will be rolling wealth.

Xiao Zhang's judgment is generally not wrong, and now he has no choice but to do so.

Now that the words have been spoken, the next step is to come to the actual thing, Xiao Zhang took out the soul snatching bag and handed it to the eunuch Wei Zhong, who handed it over to the emperor.

The emperor took the soul snatcher bag and glanced at it for a moment, then smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, I will arrange for the three big bosses to return their souls the next day." Xiao Zhang, you have made another contribution!"

Xiao Zhang was depressed in his heart, but the top said: "This is what your subordinates should do." ”

At this moment, the prince was naturally very depressed on the side, he originally wanted to accuse Xiao Zhang of the crime, but unexpectedly it turned out to be another celebration party for Xiao Zhang. But at this moment, it was obviously not an appropriate opportunity to attack Xiao Zhang again, so the prince chose to be silent for the time being, and drank the stuffy wine alone with his head down.

However, the matter will not end so simply, I saw Huang Guozhong get up and say, "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say." ”

The emperor was excited, in a good mood, and immediately said, "Prime Minister, please speak." ”

However, Huang Guozhong's next words made the emperor's smile suddenly stiffen: "Your Majesty, the minister also has to accuse Xiao Zhang of several crimes." ”

For this situation, Xiao Zhang had already been mentally prepared, he knew that Huang Guozhong would not give up easily, so he just smiled slightly, and his expression was calm.

The emperor's face was not very good, and he said unhappily: "Prime Minister, I set up a banquet today to wash the dust for Xiao Zhang, let's talk about this matter later." ”

The emperor's meaning is already obvious, what he wants today is to be in a good mood, if he has to destroy a good mood, then the emperor will be unhappy.

However, Huang Guozhong, relying on his status as a veteran, ignored the emperor's hints, and continued: "Your Majesty, Xiao Zhang's matter is not simple, the old minister must say it!"
