Xia Wanfeng forced himself to remain calm, and said very seriously and firmly: "Your Majesty, the minister has not received any news about her, how can she be determined that she is in Xiao Kingdom?" This letter, if it weren't for the emperor to hand it over to the minister now, the minister wouldn't have known that there was such a letter, and this letter would have known that it was fake at a glance, and the seal of the Xiao royal family could also be forged! The minister has already given up on marrying a wife, and now he doesn't want to wait for anyone anymore, the minister is almost forty years old, and he is already old, where can he still think about marrying a wife like when he was young? How can he destroy the emperor's feelings because of his own feelings, the emperor has always treated his ministers as brothers, how can a brother do such a thing? The minister can swear by his own life, and he will never set up a plot to betray the emperor and secretly interact with King Xiao, let alone design to take away the imperial concubine! If the minister has half a lie, it will make the minister thunder and not die well! ”

Xi Ze's anger subsided slightly, his eyes flickered, and he pointed to the coachman and asked, "Is this coachman from your Xia Mansion?" ”

Xia Wanfeng looked to the side, he couldn't help but be angry, he turned his eyes to look at Xi Ze again, and replied truthfully: "He is indeed from Xia Mansion!" ”

Xi Ze's eyebrows moved, and he said angrily: "He has been waiting outside the palace gate, trying to take the imperial concubine away, do you know which palace gate he is waiting for?" It's not the usual gate to leave the palace, but the small gate that I secretly opened on the southwest side, that door, ordinary people don't know, the only people who know are you and Qi Ye, and my cronies and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and your chauffeur is waiting there, how do you explain it? ”

"This ......" Xia Wanfeng quickly turned her mind, why did all the evidence point to herself?

Xi Ze turned his eyes to look at the coachman and asked, "Liu Gang, I ask you, who told you that the palace has that side door?" And who told you to stop there in a carriage and wait? ”

Liu Gang replied: "If you go back to the emperor, the slave originally didn't know that there was that side door, it was Xia Xiang who told the slave, and it was Xia Xiang who asked the slave to wait there to pick up the imperial concubine, and he asked the slave to take the imperial concubine to Xiao Kingdom with him!" ”

Xia Wanfeng's eyes widened when she heard this, this house slave had betrayed so completely, Xia Wanfeng reprimanded angrily: "Nonsense, when did I tell you these words, you dare to lie in front of the emperor, don't you know that bullying the king is a capital crime?" As he spoke, he turned his eyes to look at Xi Ze again, and said righteously, "Your Majesty, none of what this slave said is true!" The minister never revealed anything about the side of the palace to anyone! Your Majesty, are you sure that side door will not be found by other people? Won't the commander of the Imperial Guards leak the news? ”

"Presumptuous!" Xi Ze said angrily, "The commander of the Imperial Forest Army is my cronies, and he only obeys my orders, how can he easily leak the news?" Don't speculate! ”

Xia Wanfeng said with some embarrassment: "But the minister really didn't mention the side door to anyone, let alone order the coachman to wait there, please ask the emperor to believe in Weichen, Weichen will never betray the emperor!" ”

At this moment, Mu Xuesong suddenly interjected and said: "Your Majesty, the matter has been clear, the human and material evidence is there, and everything is done by Xia Xiang, but now he sees that the matter is exposed, so he doesn't dare to admit it, after all, betraying the emperor, secretly dealing with King Xiao, and abducting the imperial concubine is not only a capital crime, but also involves his Xia family, so he is forced to quibble, but in the face of so much evidence, his sophistry is meaningless, the emperor Shengming, please also ask the emperor to convict!" ”

"You ......" Xia Wanfeng looked at Mu Xuesong angrily, and said sharply, "Mu Xuesong, don't spew blood, these are trumped-up charges, this prime minister has never done anything, he has always been loyal to the emperor, and he has never betrayed, these crimes, this prime minister will not admit it!" ”

Mu Xuesong said: "With so much evidence in front of you, there is no way if you want to admit it or not, do you think the emperor is so easy to fool?" ”

Xia Wanfeng didn't bother to fight with him anymore, turned her eyes to look at Xi Ze, hugged her fists and said: "Your Majesty, this coachman has betrayed the minister, what he said is not to be believed, the minister has been by your side for so many years, he has always been loyal, and he has never done anything out of order, doesn't the emperor believe in the minister?" Does the emperor really believe that his ministers will betray you for his own selfish interests? All of this is someone else framing the ministers, please let the emperor know! ”

Xi Ze asked with a dark face, "Who framed you?" ”

Xia Wanfeng immediately replied: "It's Mu Xuesong!" ”

"You ......" Mu Xuesong was furious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xia Wanfeng interrupted: "It's obvious that he came up with all of this to frame Wei Chen!" ”

Mu Xuesong immediately counterattacked: "Xia Wanfeng, you are nonsense, what evidence do you have to prove that I am framing you for all this?" You have no evidence at all, and you have to be honest in front of the emperor, do you dare to commit the crime of bullying the king as the prime minister? ”

Xia Wanfeng replied unceremoniously: "Have I deceived the monarch, the emperor has his own conclusion, do you think I can't see your ambitions?" Do you think I can't see your calculations? You just faked so much evidence to catch me off guard, do you think I'm going to give in so easily......"

"Enough!" Xi Ze interrupted angrily, "Stop arguing! Don't fight in front of me! ”

Only then did the two stop arguing.

Xi Ze's face was already extremely ugly, he clenched his fists tightly, and said with great resentment: "This matter, no matter who did it, dare to abduct the imperial concubine who abducted me, I will definitely not let it go, Wan Feng, now all the evidence points to you, and you can't explain it clearly, before the matter is clarified, I hope you will cooperate with my investigation!" ”

Things have developed to this point, Xia Wanfeng had no choice but to say helplessly: "Yes, Weichen will cooperate with all the emperor's investigations!" ”

Xi Ze took a deep breath and ordered: "Come on, take Xia Xiang to the prison of the Criminal Department, and wait for interrogation!" ”

Here, Mu Xuesong was anxious, and hurriedly interjected and said: "Your Majesty, you can't put Xia Jian in the prison of the Criminal Department of the Criminal Department, he was originally promoted from the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department is his person, I'm afraid there will be nothing to try at all, so it's better to hand it over to Dali Temple......"

"Shut up!" Xi Ze said angrily, "My prime minister, except for me, no one can go to the arraignment, not even ask a word, this matter, the situation is bad, I want to personally interrogate, pass on the order, if anyone dares to touch a finger of my prime minister, I will abolish whom!" All of them are out of here! ”

Xia Wanfeng finally relieved herself when she heard this, Mu Xuesong didn't dare to say any more, and hugged her fists and said, "The minister retires!" ”

Xi Ze ordered again: "Come on, lock up the coachman and this slave together, and interrogate them severely!" ”

Soon a guard came up and escorted the coachman and Trina down. It's over.

After they all retreated, Xi Ze gasped and got up and walked towards Weiyang Palace. (To be continued.) )
