Chapter 101: The Scholar Who Stole the Phoenix Crown
Nightingale and Li Rusu returned to the banquet, and everything that happened in front of them made Nightingale and Li Rusu stunned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was a man kneeling in the center of the banquet hall, this person had delicate facial features, and his clothes were shivering, but he did not lose his temperament, and he looked polite.
The strange thing is that this person looks familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere, where is it? Nightingale's memory is somewhat blurred.
"What's going on?" Li Rusu opened her mouth and asked a girl beside her.
"This is a thief who was just caught by Prime Minister Zuo, and now the emperor is interrogating him." The girl whispered.
"Does a mere thief need to be interrogated by the emperor himself?" Nightingale asked, puzzled.
"Who called this thief, but it was the queen's phoenix crown that stole it?" The girl's tone was very flirtatious.
"Wang Xi, this king asks you again, where are you hiding the queen's phoenix crown?" The emperor in the hall spoke, and there was majesty in his tone.
"Back to the emperor, the villain didn't steal the queen's phoenix crown, this is obviously someone framed the villain, and asked the emperor to investigate." Wang Xi replied.
"Bold king, now that you have stolen goods, are you still quibbling? It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. ”
"Haha...... The villain dared to ask the emperor, how did the villain get into the queen's bedroom, and how did he steal the queen's phoenix crown? How did you hide the queen's phoenix crown? ”
"This is exactly what the king wants to ask you, how did you get into the queen's bedchamber? And how to hide the queen's phoenix crown. ”
"Since the emperor can't say how I got into the palace, and he doesn't know where the phoenix crown is hiding now, how can I prove that I am a thief, and how can I prove that I was stolen and captured?" Wang Xi said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner that he had not done anything wrong, and he was not afraid that he believed in justice and was at ease in the hearts of the people. Even if the emperor kills him today, he will not change his words.
"How dare he question the king of a country like this, is he impatient or how to ......?" whispered the onlookers below.
"You...... Whoever comes, Wang Xi despises the emperor's authority and beats me. The emperor was enraged by the attitude of the royal seat.
After a while, a group of guards surrounded the royal seat, among which two big men still held wooden sticks in their hands, and it seemed that this royal seat was inevitably suffering from flesh and skin.
One, two, three......, because the emperor did not say how much to beat, so the executioner did not know when to stop, if this continued, it is estimated that this royal seat will be beaten to death.
"King Xiben will give you another chance." The emperor is obviously a little soft-hearted.
"Hehehe......" Wang Xi raised his head slowly, and there was still a little blood on the corner of his mouth, which was probably bitten just so as not to make a sound. He looked at the emperor in front of the hall, and then laughed insolently. His smile was sarcastic and arrogant, obviously not receiving the emperor's affection.
The nightingale looked at Wang Xi, his actions made the nightingale a little admired, but he didn't expect this scholar who was weak in literature to be a strong bone, and it would be a pity to be killed like this.
"I'll ask you one last time, if you want to answer." The emperor's face turned pale, it seems that if Wang Xi can't give him a satisfactory answer, it is estimated that it will not be as simple as just eating the board.
"The villain didn't do this, so the villain can't answer the emperor's question."
"If you can't answer, you're not afraid that I'll let you fall to the ground immediately?" The emperor's face changed, and his eyes also changed.
"The villain is afraid of the head falling to the ground, but the villain is more afraid of the reputation damage and the shame of the family. If the emperor must use life and death to determine the innocence of the villain, then the villain is willing to die. "Wang Xi is neither humble nor arrogant, and would rather die than yield.
"Good ......" The emperor looked at Wang Xi and touched his beard, not knowing what he was hesitating about.
"Your Majesty, since Wang Gongzi said that he did not steal the queen's phoenix crown, who was he with during this time, and who can testify for him? If he can't say it, doesn't that prove that the queen's phoenix crown disappearance has nothing to do with him? It was Zuo Guoshuai who stood up to speak, and he seemed to see the emperor's hesitation.
But he will come out and say this, he is definitely not helping Wang Xi, it is estimated that he wants to control him to death, and now Wang Xi has not given the emperor a son at all, if anyone really comes out to testify for Wang Xi, then it is indirectly not giving the emperor a son. On this basis alone cut off the king's way of life.
"Yes! Since the emperor can't show the relationship that Wang Xi was present, if Wang Xi can't show evidence that he is not present, this is enough to prove it. The people around whispered.
There are some wise people who naturally know that Zuo Guoshuai wants to control the throne to death, if he really helps the throne now, then he will directly offend the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, which they all know in their hearts. No one knows where Wang Xi was during this time, and even if anyone does, no one dares to stand up and testify for him.
"I think Zuo Gongzi's proposal is good, since Wang Gongzi insists that he has not done it. So why not let him come up with evidence? Jin Shangshu came out to add oil and vinegar, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was currying favor with Prime Minister Zuo.
"Wang Xizhen appreciates your courage, since you insist that you are innocent, then I will give you a chance to prove your innocence. As Zuo Guoshuai said, you should tell me who you have been with during this period, and then whether this person can be your witness? The emperor's hand kept flicking the teacup in his hand, obviously he was planning something.
"This ......" Wang Xi looked at the emperor and looked around again. Then he put away his gaze, full of embarrassment.
"How?" The emperor's eyes looked directly at Wang Xi, and he didn't know what Wang Xi was thinking. If this matter really has nothing to do with him, then as long as he can find a certification and return his innocence, what is he hesitating about with such a good opportunity?
"The villain is very grateful to the emperor for giving me this opportunity, but all the villain can say is that the villain has nothing to do with the theft of the queen's phoenix crown, and the rest of the villain has nothing to say." Wang Xi was fixed, and this time he said these words with the consciousness of death.
The emperor probed the royal seat up and down, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and no one knew what he was planning. The so-called unfathomable will is probably like this.
"This royal seat has a bit of courage." Someone in the crowd whispered.
"I heard that he has some ...... with Miss Liu."
"Shhhh You can't talk nonsense about these words, do you know what it means to be a curse from the mouth? ”
The nightingale listened to the whispering next to her, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and it seemed that there were many smarter people among the girls.
Just now the nightingale had promised Brother Sharp not to cause trouble, so now the nightingale has no intention of taking care of this idle matter, and he can't take care of it.
