In the huge council hall, there are only two people, the emperor and Nangong Ao, the emperor sat majestically on the dragon chair, while Nangong Ao stood quietly below, slightly bowing his head and frowning, he still doesn't know why the emperor sent the Imperial Forest Army to surround Nangong Mansion and called him here.

Nangong Ao pondered for a while, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know what important things are for the old minister?" ”

The emperor smiled coldly, "Master, you really don't know what happened?" ”

Nangong Ao was slightly stunned and said, "Your Majesty, when the old minister came, he saw a mess in the palace, was there a fire?" ”

"Fire? It's a shame that you think about it. With a snap, the emperor slapped on the armrest of the dragon chair, and shouted angrily: "Just an hour ago, Lin Tian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, ransacked the Jianbao Pavilion, and also fled, Nangong is proud of you, you old guy, don't tell me that this matter has nothing to do with you." ”

Nangong Ao's face turned pale and pale, and he was even more frightened and fell to his knees, and said incredibly: "Your Majesty, how could such a thing happen?" Is this impossible? ”

said so, but Nangong Ao's heart was very ruthless, he felt that he was set up by Lin Tian, and this move was very vicious, directly pushing the Nangong family into the abyss.

"Less nonsense." The emperor stood up, pointed at Nangong and said arrogantly: "Hurry up and tell me what is the relationship between you and Lin Tian?" Why can he pretend to be a disciple of your Nangong family and infiltrate the palace? Was it instructed by you? ”

"The old minister is wronged, I have nothing to do with Lin Tian, and I don't know that this kid is actually a Jiangyang thief." Nangong said with a bitter face.

"You don't admit it? Good. I have already ordered someone to investigate the rest of the Nangong family, but I don't believe that I can't find any clues. If it is found out that you have anything to do with Lin Tian, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Nangong Ao secretly screamed badly. But he was powerless to refute it, knowing that he was really unable to escape this time, and he also regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't have talked about any deal with Lin Tian in the first place, but now it's good, Lin Tian ran away, but he became a scapegoat.

Soon, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army walked into the council hall and handed the emperor a copy of the interrogation file. He respectfully withdrew.

The emperor opened the scroll and looked at it for a while, and finally threw the scroll in front of Nangong Ao, and snorted coldly: "Taishi, what else do you have to say now?" It is clearly written on the scroll, this Lin Tian is the wild thief Lin Tian back then, he and your ninth daughter Nangong Yanran are good friends, you old man will not remember it. ”

Nangong Ao immediately picked up the scroll and looked at it, but he was very angry in his heart, the rest of the family didn't offer anything. But some of the subordinates in the mansion are really talkative, and they actually told what happened hundreds of years ago, it doesn't matter if they say it, the key is that saying it at this time makes the emperor completely doubt him and the entire family.

Nangong Ao sighed softly. said: "Your Majesty, whether this Lin Tian is a wild thief of Lin Tian, the old minister really doesn't know." As for the sect he joined our family, the old minister didn't know either. And he was able to enter the palace as a guard, which was also selected by the Tongguò sect. Lao Chen absolutely did not deliberately arrange it, and as for the theft of the Treasure Pavilion, it had nothing to do with Lao Chen. ”

In fact, this matter has a fifty percent relationship with him, but he can't admit any of it, otherwise, let alone him, the entire family will be exterminated by the Nine Clans.

For Nangong Ao's categorical disapproval, the emperor was naturally very annoyed, and said coldly: "Taishi, it seems that our monarchs and ministers are becoming more and more estranged, do you think I will still believe you?" I trusted you so much before, but you dealt with me like this, which disappointed me so much...... Well, since you are not faithful to me, what do I want you to do? ”

Nangong Ao's brows furrowed, and he was not frightened, but said coldly: "Your Majesty, do you really want to exterminate our Nangong family of the Nine Clans?" ”

"Hmph, I won't do this, your two women have already entered the palace a few years ago and become my concubines, if you destroy the Nine Clans, won't I also be destroyed?" A chill flashed in Emperor Yansheng's eyes, and he continued: "I will not kill anyone in your family, but I will send someone to monitor them at all times, and if there is any disloyalty to me, kill them immediately...... As for you, Taishi, you will spend your next life in prison. ”

"Your Majesty, how can you do this, this is to make the old minister better than dead?" Nangong Ao's face was full of grief, their Nangong family has guarded Nanyan Country for generations, is it just such an ending in the end?

The muscles on the emperor's face twitched a few times, and he said viciously: "Nangong Ao, don't think that you are self-righteous because you have worked hard in Nanyan Country, this world is my world, I can deal with whoever I want, I let you stay in the prison for a lifetime, you must obey orders...... But if you do not do my will, I will immediately command the destruction of your whole people. ”

Nangong shook proudly, it seemed that the emperor was really angry this time, nodded and said painfully: "Please also ask Your Majesty to let go of the old minister's family, the old minister....willingly accept His Majesty's punishment." ”

"Okay, that's what you said." Only then did the emperor nod with satisfaction, and he also exhaled a long breath, patted Nangong Ao's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Taishi, in fact, I don't want to do this, but tonight's theft of the Treasure Pavilion, all the clues point to your Nangong family, if I don't do something, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public...... Don't worry, as long as I find out that it has nothing to do with you, I will definitely reuse you again. ”

"Your Majesty loves the old minister so much, and the old minister is grateful." Nangong said solemnly. But he knew very well in his heart that this time he was more than lucky, the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and the villains who were in danger on weekdays would definitely try to kill him in every possible way when they saw him in trouble.

Fear... The rest of my life is really going to be spent in prison.

Then, Nangong Ao was taken into the prison, and the Imperial Forest Army surrounded outside Nangong Mansion also quickly withdrew, but still left some people to closely monitor the movements of the Nangong people.

"This little thing, if the old man sees him, he has to strangle him." After entering the Heavenly Prison, Nangong cursed Lin Tian arrogantly.

At the same time, he was also blaming himself, why did he talk about cooperation with Lin Tian in a daze, didn't he push himself into the fire pit? It's a good thing, I didn't get any benefit, and I have to spend the rest of my life in this prison.

"Taishi, who are you scolding?" At this moment, Lin Tian's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Nangong Ao was slightly stunned, knowing that it was Lin Tian who came, and immediately shouted: "Boy, you are actually here, why don't you show up." ”

"I'm afraid you'll kill me."

"If you come out, I promise not to kill you." (To be continued......)
