Chapter 260: Above the Court
"Humph! It seems that this Xiao Changxiu has already met with our Hou Ye, and when he went to see Hou Ye today, he didn't expect to be questioned by Hou Ye in turn, the old man's face is all gone in his place? In this way, it shouldn't be Xiao Changxiu or Hou Ye who has come to our secret room, otherwise, they should have died under that poison! ”
The patriarch's face was very bad, and he walked back and forth in the study, not to mention how angry he was in his heart.
"Patriarch, don't worry, fortunately, we are almost ready now, if there is any change at that time, we can also deal with it in time! Besides, didn't we secretly train a batch of secret guards, so that they could come in handy when the time came? Sanqing immediately comforted the patriarch.
"Yes, now we can only respond to all changes with the same, alas... I must catch that person now, whether he is dead or alive, in case he leaks the news, then we will really lose more than we gain! ”
Today, Xiao Changxiu came directly to the court, and walked in swaggering in front of everyone.
This Jinluan Hall is still so magnificent, the light is still dazzling, and the dazzling appearance makes Xiao Changxiu understand why he came here.
Everyone looked at the door, looked at Xiao Changxiu, and then whispered.
"See the Emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Xiao Changxiu just knelt down to greet the emperor, and just raised his head, suddenly a group of guards rushed out, holding swords, and pointed directly at Xiao Changxiu, Xiao Changxiu was very calm. Suddenly raised his hand.
"Your Majesty! You don't have to be like this, Chang Xiu doesn't have any murder weapons on his body, and even his own sword has been handed over to the guards who entered the palace before entering the palace! ”
Emperor Changping sat on top of the court and did not speak, but coughed twice. "Ahem...", and then gestured to Gonggong Li with his eyes, and Gonggong Li immediately understood.
"General Xiao! Offended! Gonggong Li immediately searched Xiao Changxiu's body, but found nothing, then turned to look at Emperor Changping and shook his head.
Only then did Emperor Changping put away his seriousness, and turned to look at Xiao Changxiu calmly. "Stand down!" Emperor Changping's rough voice commanded, and everyone went down one after another.
Chu Feng looked at Xiao Changxiu, in front of Chu Yan, he naturally had to do enough to act. "Emperor Qiqi, since our General Xiao has returned, do we have to settle this account for the murder of the royal family last time!"
"Since the prince also mentioned it today, then Changxiu has to say, during the period of Changxiu's disappearance, the prince actually ordered himself to take it and assassinate me, I don't know what the prince wants? I, Xiao Changxiu, have always been a fair and upright person, and what I hate most in my life is this kind of person who calculates behind his back, does the prince also have to give Changxiu an explanation? ”
"Xiao Changxiu! This is above the court, this prince is questioning you, you are a guilty person now, why do you want to question this prince! This prince claims to be kind to you, but I didn't expect you to murder your father, Zhong Aiqing said, how can the court tolerate such a rebellious person! ”
Chu Feng immediately looked at the ministers, and the ministers were talking, and the ministers of the Criminal Department took the lead in standing up. "Your Majesty, we have investigated it long ago, this is actually not the poison of General Xiao, we re-checked General Xiao's one-day arrangement that day, and there is no time to drug the emperor, so there is someone else who drugged it!"
"Besides, in the prison, it was not General Xiao's intention to get out of prison, and the jailer said that he had seen General Xiao who was taken away by Gonggong Li that day, but Gonggong Li was indeed by the emperor's side that day, and he didn't leave at all! So someone changed his appearance into Grandpa Li! ”
Hearing the analysis of the Minister of Criminal Affairs, everyone suddenly understood. Chu Feng had to pretend that he was not convinced.
"Your Majesty, since this adult has made things clear, then Changxiu has nothing to explain, the Qing is self-purifying, if Changxiu really did such a rebellious thing, then Changxiu now does not dare to return to the capital to meet the emperor, this time Changxiu has something to ask for, and please ask the emperor to promise!"
When Xiao Changxiu heard what the Minister of Criminal Affairs said just now, he became even more justified and knelt down solemnly.
"Say it!"
"The Xiao family was implicated because of me, but they are innocent, so Changxiu came back this time to prove his innocence, please ask the emperor to give Changxiu a month, Changxiu will definitely find out the murderer behind this, if it can't be found out at that time, Changxiu will be at the disposal of the emperor!" Xiao Changxiu also had a bit of courage to say this.
Chu Feng glanced at Xiao Changxiu. "Father, the son thinks it can't be, this Xiao Changxiu suddenly appeared today, and even said so, who knows what ghost fetus he is pregnant, if he thinks about harming the emperor again, it will be too late, the son thinks that he should directly order Xiao Changxiu to be killed!"
Chu Yan was a little surprised when he heard Chu Feng's words, and the ministers were even more so, you must know that these two have always been very good friends, why did they suddenly become enemies now, and they couldn't help but sigh.
"Father, this General Xiao is brave and good at fighting, and has made great contributions to our Celestial Empire, even if this General Xiao has no merit, he has hard work, and just now General Xiao also made a bet with the Xiao family, if this is not an innocent person, who would block so many things, and ask my father for permission!"
Chu Yan looked at the two as if they had broken up, and at this time, he wanted to win Xiao Changxiu over even more.
"Yes! Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that what Hou Ye said is reasonable, this knowledge of grace is also our tradition, whether this General Xiao has been framed or really done now, none of us can say, after all, General Xiao is still our general, this prestige and this courage, the minister thinks that General Xiao is still worth believing! The prime minister has always supported Chu Yan, and immediately followed Chu Yan.
"The minister seconded the proposal! The minister seconded the motion..."
In an instant, everyone in the entire court expressed their approval, which made Chu Feng a little dumbfounded. "You... Don't be deceived by this beast-hearted man! ”
"Big brother, this General Xiao has saved you so many times, do you really think that General Xiao must have done such a bad thing?" Chu Yan asked Chu Feng rhetorically.
Emperor Changping was clean now, "Okay, since everyone thinks it should be like this, then follow what everyone Aiqing said, but this general can't do it, you just be an ordinary guard, if it is an investigation, everyone will fully cooperate!" ”
