Ruipeng didn't get up, and knocked his head a few more times on the bluestone floor.

Zuo Qiyang didn't insist on letting him get up, and sat there and accepted his big gift with peace of mind.

Seeing this, Ruipeng breathed a sigh of relief, at least the adults were willing to listen to his explanation.

"My lord, is it because the emperor suspects that you are colluding with the east because he discovered the letter you secretly received from Tokyo?"

Rui Peng asked the question, and saw that Zuo Qiyang did not answer, only squinted at himself, and then realized that it was the time for him to confess, and in turn questioned Zuo Qiyang, he was inevitably arrogant, hurriedly lowered his eyes, and said directly: "The letter you received from Tokyo about Xin Zi...... It was I who gave it to the emperor. ”

When Zuo Qiyang heard this, he put down the food in his hand, sat up straight and faced Ruipeng, looking down at him from top to bottom, with no look on his face.

Ruipeng was a little drumming in his heart, but at this point, he could only continue to talk about it.

"About a month ago, the emperor sent someone to check the letter sent to the palace because the letter from Lord Yan delivered at the border could not be delivered in time. The lord arranged for me to be on duty that day, so I didn't think much about it, and directly led the officials who went to the place where the falcons were fed and found the little eunuch in charge.

"Thinking that it was Lord Yan's family letter, maybe it involved the emperor's private affairs, and it was inconvenient for me to interfere, so I let go and let the official go in to investigate.

"But who would have thought...... The man did not find out that there was anything wrong with the passage of private messages, but somehow found out from the mouth of the little eunuch who raised the falcon that someone secretly controlled a passage of letters to Dongyuan, and even suspected that the man abused his public power to secretly communicate with the enemy.

"I was stupid at the time, the letters in the palace have always been supervised by the adult, and you have the background of transferring from Dongyuan, they said this, obviously the spearhead is directed at you, the adult.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I felt, and I argued with them. Unexpectedly, this angered the little eunuch who raised the falcon, and he pointed to my nose and asked me, 'Do you think he is incompetent?' I couldn't tell the difference between the eagle falcon used in the palace and the eagle falcon raised privately outside', I was a little stunned, I didn't expect him to be so careabout about these, and I didn't expect him to dare to be so arrogant as a subordinate of a subordinate without rank, thinking that he was also subordinate to the department under your jurisdiction, I felt that I should help discipline one or two, so I didn't let go in front of the official, but provoked him, and only said, 'You can't distinguish clearly, call it incompetent, it's not up to you to say, if you think you're reasonable, and show the evidence'.

"When I say this, I am convinced that the little eunuch is just negligent in his own work, and I am worried that the blame will be borne on my own head, so I will lie at will and throw all the problems on your head. They have always felt that you are a traitor to the enemy country, even if you come to the Xiyou Forbidden Palace to do things for the Xiyou Emperor, they still can't get rid of the fact that you defected, so they often point to your back and talk about it.

"I've been angry since I entered this palace with you, but I think that my lord, you have just come here, and your heels have not yet stood firm, if I still provoke you to make trouble, and provoke you to take care of yourself while taking care of the aftermath for me, it will be too uninteresting. So I've been putting up with it, and this endurance is five years.

"I don't know what crazy I had that day, and the resentment that had been pent up in my heart for five years exploded together, and I was on the same page with the little eunuch, but I refused to back down.

"I originally thought that he was just talking nonsense, but in the end, at the risk of being dragged into the water with him, he actually took out the falcon that had been coming from Tokyo, and the falcon still had a Tokyo letterbox on its leg.

"I immediately recognized that the letterhead had been specially made by you for the dark line in Tokyo, and I was dumbfounded and speechless.

"Although the officials who came to investigate didn't know your letterbox, they also recognized at a glance that it was not something from the palace, which confirmed the words of the little eunuch. The official directly sank his face and closed the coffin and concluded: "The evidence is conclusive, Zuo Qiyang is indeed still in collusion with the Dongyuan Imperial Court, and his identity and all previous actions need to be further investigated." ’

"If you button down such a hat, you are wishing that you are a spy sent by Dongyuan. I was in a complete hurry, and I explained everything about the fact that you left a secret stake in Tokyo and still monitored your every move over there. Unexpectedly, the official still refused to let go, saying that I came from Dongyuan with my lord, and that what I said would inevitably be biased in favor of you, and that if I really wanted to defend you, I would have to come up with evidence.

"I didn't have any evidence at the time, but I knew you were innocent. So I can only promise them that I will find a way to find evidence within three days.

"After that...... I stole the secret letter that Wei Ming sent you from Tokyo...... The contents of the letter prove that you are the opposite of King Xin, and that you are not a spy sent by him. So without thinking about it, I handed over the secret letter to the emperor's people......

"But I didn't expect that the emperor would find me in person not long after, and tell me that I did the right thing, but this is not enough to prove your innocence. So the emperor said that he hoped that I could keep this matter secret for him, and if it was finally found out that you really had nothing to do with the Dongyuan Imperial Court, he would naturally give you justice, but if you really have a problem...... That's not worth keeping along......"

Speaking of this, Ruipeng's voice decreased a little, and he cautiously glanced at Zuo Qiyang, who was sitting at the table, and saw that the other party's brows were already furrowed when he heard this, his eyes were full of gloom, and he hurriedly defended: "My lord, I was really confused at the time, I didn't expect the emperor to come to me in person, and I didn't expect this matter to be so big." And the emperor said it right, I was surrounded by it at the time, and I thought that no matter how I looked at it, it would be fine, so I responded to it......"

"Is it that I'm going to be okay, or are you going to be okay yourself?" Zuo Qiyang interjected coldly.

was broken by a word, Rui Peng was shocked into a cold sweat, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, his face was pale with fright, his hands were clenched into fists, his nails sank deep into the flesh, but he didn't feel pain.

At this point, he knew that everything he said was a quibble, it was he who betrayed Lord Zuo, and his selfishness caused him to lose the trust of Emperor Yan and lose his position, and he couldn't make up for his mistakes no matter what he said.

Thinking of this, Ruipeng closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then looked up at Zuo Qiyang again and said, "It's all my fault, I don't complain about how you want to punish me, adult." Even if I am asked to apologize for my sins with death, I will not hesitate a little. ”

After that, he took out the saber at his waist, held it horizontally in front of him, raised it above his head, and presented it to Zuo Qiyang. (To be continued.) )
