Chapter 172: Distinguished Guests Arrive

The first update

"Zhong Xian, do you see, this is your fair uncle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He knew that you were wrong, so he said to me, Lu Xudong is dead, this is a fact that cannot be changed, so you can compensate. Then you can give up something, as long as it saves your life. This is the pride of you aristocrats. You are always nobler than others, and you know that you only have one life, so they cannot give up your life, and as for others, their lives can be compensated. ”

Zeng Fan gently patted Zhong Xian's head, he had already patted the two of them on the head more than once when he was talking at length just now. Just like when they were together, when they were happy, when they were working hard, he would gently pat their heads, encourage them, and tell them, it's okay, let's work together. And this time, Zeng Fan wanted to send them to the guillotine.

"What about you? You say my son is wrong, damn it, what about you? Do you dare to say that you use this crime not because you have no share in this crime? So kill them, and you'll really be fine? If my son embezzled a huge fortune, what about you? How much money does your son have in the UK? How much is your wife's factory worth? "Lord Xiao He really fought hard for his son.

"Well, that's nice, so you think so too? Are you, like your father, think that all the money you have sent to England over the years has been put into your own pocket? Zeng Fan squatted down and looked at Zhong Xian.

"Are you really going to kill me?" Zhong Xian looked at his mentor.

"Yes, I want stability in the Fujian Seas, and you must die." Zeng Fan pursed his lips.

"That's okay, I did this alone, and it has nothing to do with Ding Tong. He persuaded me, really, not to excuse him. He told me early in the morning that I should not do it, which you will never allow. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent someone to do it myself without telling him. He said he knew it was a lie, and he probably guessed that I was going to hide it from him, but he didn't have time to stop it. Zhong Xian smiled at Ding Tong, these days, Ding Tong bit himself to know, but he didn't stop this intention, he promised that they had worked together for almost twenty years, and he didn't want him to die with him.

"No, I really guessed, but I didn't stop it. I also hate Lu Xudong, and I know that he donated the money I gave him. The old man used all his money for the country and the people, why is he, just a water bandit, why is he more noble than us? How clean he is, how dirty we are. The change of the sailor was not done by him alone. Yes, he is incognito, he hides his merits and fame! What about us? Is it really for the money that we are doing? If it weren't for the method I had in mind, Madame's factory, the young master's cooperation with Dongyin Company would not have been successful. Not to mention the infinite scenery of today's sailors. These are things that he Lu Xudong can't do, the admiral endures humiliation and burdens, and follows the British every day, you think it's easy. You said that the huge wealth is not even a percent of what I have earned over the years. Ninety-nine percent of the time, he used it to build sailors, ships, and guns. Nowadays, who is not taught by the Admiral? Which of their ships was not recovered by him? Yes, we despised other people's lives, I don't say we're wrong, yes, we're wrong, we've killed people. Push us to the vegetable market, I don't care! Really, master, in front of my sister and brother-in-law, I said the same, I was wrong, but our lives are no less cheap than Lu Xudong. He tried, and we weren't playing! Ding Tong changed his silence for a period of time and said angrily.

He didn't mind taking responsibility for Lu Xudong's death, but why should he erase all their exploits.

In the inner room, there were a few applause, a figure walked out from the inside, Emperor Qingyu came out in civilian clothes, everyone knelt down together, even Zeng Fan didn't expect that this person had been hiding behind and listening.

Lilac, who was crying and almost fainted, was also frightened, and knelt on the ground with Huang Jun, with the emperor here, can my brother be saved?

Emperor Qingyu went out of the palace today to hear the trial and only brought the queen, and the two of them came out together to see how Zeng Fan tried this case. The queen has always heard of Zeng Fan, but she has never really seen it, and when she heard that Zeng Fan was going to interrogate her students, the queen was also more curious, so she also thought about it quietly and came out with it.

Originally, the queen didn't come out, but Emperor Qingyu still took her hand and came out. The place on the desk was immediately relinquished, and a handful of the same was moved up for the couple to sit together.

Emperor Qingyu took the queen's hand and sat down, smiled and motioned for everyone to flatten, looked at Zhong Xian and Ding Tong below, and shook his head gently.

"They've been kneeling for too long, let them get up." Emperor Qingyu finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister is nearly eighty years old, and he really can't bear the pain of losing a child in old age!" Lord Xiao He cried and kowtowed to Emperor Qingyu. Seeing that the beard was completely white, even Lu Jianan's heart trembled.

"Quickly lift the old man up and give him a seat." The queen also looked uncomfortable, and hurriedly said to the people on the side, and the two strong grandmothers came down and carried Xiao He to the seat.

Emperor Qingyu smiled at the others, "Sit down, when it comes to this, it has already been made clear." I'll talk to you now. ”

Everyone thanked each other and sat down. Everyone bowed their heads and fell silent. As Emperor Qingyu said, now that the case is almost tried, what he is fighting for is just the question of whether Zhong Xian wants to die. Zeng Fan couldn't convince the He family, and the He family couldn't move Zeng Fan. No one else, in fact, dares to call the shots. Who is it supporting? Anyway, no one dared to support the He family. But the open opposition is unbearable. Now it's actually a stalemate, and everyone knows that if no one comes out to break the deadlock, don't point to it today.

"Alas, just now I was still telling the queen that if I came to judge, I was afraid that it would be embarrassing. Criminal Department, you say, how is this case judged? Emperor Qingyu smiled and looked sideways at the most inconspicuous person.

"Huh?" The face of the criminal department is wrinkled, and it feels like if you force me again, I will commit suicide.

The queen laughed and covered her mouth, "Your Majesty, the two adults have not argued clearly about this case, aren't you embarrassing this adult?" Here, Master Xiao He is an old criminal department, and Zeng Shi has also been a waiter in the criminal department, and they are all proficient in law. What they said just now should be right, and it should be okay left and right. ”

"What do you think, Queen?"

"You are really, the concubine only knows a few words. I don't even know what the law is, so how can I judge the case? The queen smiled and shook her head, everyone saw that the queen looked middle-level, but in the flow of her eyes, there was a bit of agility, which made people like it.

"Then if you think it is what you want, what do you think of it?" Emperor Qingyu smiled, he did it on purpose, and he also knew that if he asked the people below, those who dared to speak would be Zeng Fan and the He family brothers. But now no one wants to hear from them.
