Chapter 262: Seeking power and usurping the throne

The group walked unhurriedly to the door of the Hou Mansion in Wu'an, Cheng Jiang was waiting with a comfortable face, not minding their late arrival at all, but bowed to Xue Li very politely, "My subordinates have seen Master Hou!" I'm here late at night! ”

"General Cheng doesn't have to be polite, let's announce the decree!" Xue Li said lightly, at first glance, it was very similar to Xue Jincheng's demeanor in the past.

"Master Hou doesn't have to be anxious, this will can't run in my hands, it's just that Master Hou's family is here? Why don't you see the little county lord? Cheng Jiang still smiled very calmly.

"Ben Hou's granddaughter went to her grandfather's house as a guest, what's wrong? General Cheng's will has to be told to a child who has just turned one year old? Xue Li's tone was very impatient, gritting his teeth and glaring at Cheng Jiangdao, "I don't know when this holy decree was issued?" ”

When the word "holy" is spoken, the tone is even heavier.

Oh, the emperor is dead now, where did the holy decree come from? However, it can't just be said that this decree is fake, what if it is the emperor's previous will? Xue Li had to be cautious, maybe those people were waiting for him to "disrespect the holy will, resist the will and disrespect the will"!

Cheng Jiang's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he no longer bothered about Sister Yuan'er's problem, and still looked at Xue Li like a smiling tiger, "Master Hou should know that his subordinates are coming by order today, and this is really not my will!" ”

Xue Li smiled coldly, "Ben Hou knows it in his heart!" If it's not early today, General Cheng doesn't have to talk nonsense! ”

Cheng Jiang took two steps forward, approached Xue Li's body, and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, to tell you the truth, someone accused you of trying to usurp the throne, but there is no evidence!" However, Hou Ye must also understand that once this is related to rebellion, no matter whether there is evidence or not, he would rather kill by mistake than let go! ”

Xue Li glared angrily.

"Master Hou, you must have guessed what this will is written!" Cheng Jiang shook his hands, opened the holy decree, only gave Xue Li a quick look, and then bowed down and whispered, "My subordinates hope that nothing will be found in the Hou Ye's mansion."

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Jiang straightened up and said to a team of Praetorian Guards behind him, "Search!" ”

The Praetorian Guards quickly entered the palace gate and searched everywhere.

Xue Li's face turned slightly pale, and he grabbed Mrs. Wu'anhou's hand very hard, but Mrs. Wu'anhou didn't say a word, and silently shook his hand back.

That decree is true!

Xue Li has been in the court for many years and has received countless holy decrees, so he can naturally distinguish the truth from the falsehood of the holy decrees.

With just one glance, Xue Li saw the point of the will clearly!

"Seeking power and usurping the throne, the crime cannot be punished, and the whole house is beheaded!"

Xue Li's body shook slightly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his back.

I don't know how many years the emperor has hidden this holy decree! For so many years, everyone in the Wu'an Hou Mansion has always had an invisible sharp knife around their necks, and they don't know when it will suddenly fall and take their lives.

Time passed minute by minute, and the lights inside and outside the Wu'an Hou Mansion were bright, as bright as day, but the silence was frightening, and the sound of torches burning was clearly visible.

The night wind was cool, Mrs. Wu'anhou couldn't help coughing lightly, Xue Li instantly came back to his senses and asked with concern, "But tired?" Go, move a chair over here! "The back is to the butler.

After Mrs. Wu'anhou sat down, she didn't let go of her hand holding Xue Li, and smiled at him comfortingly, "Let's stay together as a family, not afraid of life and death!" ”
