Chapter 267: Lying on the ground

"The emperor is aware of it, but the ministers don't know about it, it must be those minions who make their own decisions." An Qinghou knelt on the ground aggrievedly, his whole body trembled, he didn't know what Cao Shouzhi would say.

If this was a different place, he would definitely try all kinds of ways to shut up Cao Shouzhi. But this is Chengkang Palace, in front of the emperor, he doesn't dare to act rashly.

King Qin sensed that something was wrong, this should be the prince's conspiracy, "Father, will there be any misunderstanding here." He didn't dare to stand up to protect Qinghou, because An Qinghou did have a lot of trouble, and if he was all poked out, he might still be implicated.

"Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding here. Zhi'er is still young, and others can coax him into perjury with just a few words. "An Qinghou is still in a dying throes.

After Cao Shouzhi moved out of the Anqinghou Mansion, he never saw Anqinghou again, and when he learned that his parents were killed by Cao Jiayuan, he wanted to rush to the Anqinghou Mansion several times, rushed to Cao Jiayuan's front, and stabbed him to death.

The prince saw Cao Shouzhi staring at Cao Jiayuan with angry eyes, worried that he would lose his mind because of hatred, so it was easy for Cao Jiayuan to find a vacancy and bite back.

He signaled Cao Shouzhi to calm down with his eyes, Cao Shouzhi calmed down for a while, and continued: "Your Majesty, the villain's words are not false at all, Lord Hou has been cutting trees everywhere in the name of the villain, and the emperor can send someone out to inquire about this matter." ”

An Qinghou, who was kneeling on the ground, twitched all over.

"Father, the emperor, and the sons have also heard about this. Once, Magu almost got into an argument with the people in Cao's Mansion over the rubber trees in a forest in the suburbs, and a subordinate in Cao's Mansion went to Magu to find them troublesome and carried them out of the Anqinghou Mansion, and Magu's husband had to ask his sons for help. When the retainers arrived, the other party said that it was Cao Gongzi of Cao Mansion who wanted these trees, saying that An Qinghou's nephew was interested in trees. After speaking, the prince pointed to King Qin and said: "The emperor's brother was also present at that time, and the father can also ask the emperor's brother." ”

King Qin was indeed present at the time, and there were many people present at the time, and he was not allowed to lie, "Yes." Erchen was also present at the time. ”

"Is what the prince said true?" The emperor asked King Qin.

"Yes." King Qin didn't dare to answer no.

"Your Majesty, the villain has no interest in trees at all, it was Marquis Anqing who asked those to say this, in order to take people down as a cover. so that people can't suspect An Qinghou's head. "Before coming, Geler kept reminding him that he couldn't rush everything, the emperor is a smart man, and some words can be understood without having to point out to the emperor. If you are going too far into it. Or who you are pointing to, the purpose is too obvious, and the emperor will think that you have ulterior motives.

Cao Shouzhi remembered what Geler said, although he hated Cao Jiayuan in his heart, he remembered one thing, this revenge must be avenged slowly.

In addition to doubts, the emperor's face also had an extra layer of gloom, "Those trees are what you want?" He didn't know what Cao Jiayuan wanted the tree to do, and seeing his frightened appearance, the emperor felt that something was going on.

Trees were mentioned before. Everyone should be pushed on Cao Shouzhi, they thought that no one would go to Cao Shouzhi to confront him face to face anyway, this time it was different, Cao Shouzhi himself shook this matter out, Cao Jiayuan didn't know how to answer for a while to give a reasonable explanation for this matter.

"What? Why can't you say it? The emperor rebuked angrily.

"The Emperor...... Your Majesty, the minister just wants to ...... I wanted to do some business, but I was worried that the emperor would blame him if he found out, so I ...... "Yes, saying that he was greedy for money, An Qinghou found a good reason for himself." "The minister should die, the minister will do such a thing when he is obsessed with money."

King Qin couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat, who would believe such a rotten excuse? Wouldn't the emperor send someone to investigate? What if, what if the truth is found?

"Is Master Hou short of money?" The prince made up for it.

"It's just, it's a hobby." How could he be short of money for An Qinghou, and the reason for saying that he was short of money would definitely not be able to pass.

How could the emperor not see that Cao Jiayuan was making excuses, "You come!" He looked at Cao Shouzhi and said.

"Your Majesty, the villain heard that those trees are going to be transported to Mozang." Cao Shouzhi didn't know any of this. These are actually all sued by Grad.

Mentioning Mozang can be more useful than anything else to deal a heavy blow to An Qinghou.

King Qin's whole heart was raised in his throat, and he angrily reprimanded An Qinghou in his heart: It's really stupid to be at home, how can this kind of thing be known to others, and how can it reach Cao Shouzhi's ears.

Such a secret and dangerous thing, at this moment, there is a feeling that it is being publicized everywhere and everyone knows about it.

"Desert?" The emperor's eyes were filled with anger, "What are you doing when you are going to Mozang?" ”

Anqing Hou Khan was like rain, and his body trembled even more, "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense, these Shuchen are only sold to some small traders, and they are not transported to Mozang." ”

He won't admit it even if he kills him.

An Qinghou gritted his teeth, he really didn't expect that he would be planted here by Cao Shouzhi, is this retribution? No, he doesn't believe that.

"The emperor can send someone to investigate." As long as the emperor sends someone to investigate, more things can be found out.

Everyone knows this, King Qin, they turned pale with fright, and asked the emperor to check? They didn't dare to think about it.

"What does Master Hou say?" The emperor's voice was cold.

"The emperor is clear, the minister, the minister is not." How dare An Qinghou admit it.

"Don't worry, I'll see it."

This means that the emperor will investigate, and King Qin pretended to be calm and stood aside, not daring to speak out.

"Did you find out about that case last time?" The emperor seems to have shifted the topic, but he doesn't know that this is what the prince has been waiting for.

An Qinghou knelt on the ground, and when he saw that he had changed the topic, his heart relaxed a little.

"Father, I want to bring a witness to this matter, so that the witness can tell the truth in public."

Witness? An Qinghou was stunned for a moment, Aunt Xin told him that all the witnesses had been cleared by her, how could there be another witness.

He understood, and the prince was coming at him today.

King Qin didn't know what to do for a while, he couldn't come forward to help An Qinghou, and he couldn't let the emperor absolutely know all these things An Qinghou did. But he can't watch An Qinghou have an accident, his most powerful helper in this matter, if An Qinghou has an accident, it will undoubtedly cut off one of his arms.

King Qin thought about it, and took advantage of the emperor's inattention, and glanced at Hua Li on the side, Hua Li understood, and quietly slipped out while no one was paying attention.

"Biography!" The emperor said without thinking.

An Qinghou kept kneeling on the ground, and the emperor finally couldn't bear to say: "Get up and talk back." ”

"I don't dare."

"Okay, get up first, the matter hasn't been clarified yet, I won't wronged a good person, and I won't let a bad person go."

The emperor motioned to the eunuchs to help An Qinghou up, and King Qin also stepped forward to help An Qinghou, and pinched his arm to remind him not to fall for it. (To be continued.) )
