Chapter 171: Secret Letter Evidence
Although the child was captured by Xiao Jingcong, there was no fear in his eyes, only endless hatred.
Xiao Jingcong didn't understand why this little boy he had never met hated him so much, and even risked his own life to do it with himself. This really made Xiao Jingcong a little puzzling.
And from what the little kid said just now, it can be guessed that his parents should have died for some reason.
At this time, Yan Zixi also came over, she was afraid that Xiao Jingcong would really do something to the child, so she hurriedly persuaded her.
"Jingcong, this kid must have misunderstood you, you better let him go and ask first, right?"
Hearing Yan Zixi's suggestion, Xiao Jingcong nodded, then let go of his hand and put the little boy on the ground.
After the little boy escaped from Xiao Jingcong's hands, he kicked Xiao Jingcong fiercely, and then ran to the woods behind the City God Temple alone.
Yan Zixi frowned, looked at Xiao Jingcong, and then chased into the grove with Xiao Jingcong.
When she came to the woods, Yan Zixi saw the little man sitting on a big tree stump sulking alone, and a few tears had fallen from his red eyes.
Yan Zixi asked Xiao Jingcong to wait here for a while, so as not to arouse the little boy's disgust and hostility, and she walked straight over.
"Kid, what the hell is going on? What about your parents? Yan Zixi walked in front of the little boy, and seeing that the little boy did not reject him, Yan Zixi asked curiously.
The little boy hesitated for a moment, then replied in a whisper, "They...... They're all gone......"
"Gone?!"
"Hmm...... My father was killed by Zhao Rushen's dog official...... My mother took me to the capital to sue the royal paper, but because of the flood, in order to find food for me, she also starved to death......" said that the little boy's heart moved, and he cried "wow, wow, wow, wow".
Yan Zixi came to his senses at this time, why did this little boy hate the officials of the court so much, Zhao Rushen killed his father, and those officials indirectly killed his mother if they didn't act.
Yan Zixi, who had figured out the situation, glanced at the little boy, and asked softly again: "Then how do you know that the elder brother over there is an official of the imperial court?" He didn't have any guards with him, how did you see that? Yan Zixi asked the doubts in her heart.
When the child heard Yan Zixi's question, he snorted coldly, rolled his eyes and said to him, "Will there be other people coming to this place?" In order to buy people's hearts, you dog officials deliberately sent us something to eat, wasn't it because you were afraid of the prince Xiao of the Zhenguo General's Mansion? Prince Xiao is selfless, he has already taken over this case, and he will definitely wipe out all of you dog officials when the time comes! ”
The little boy bared his teeth and clenched his little fist in indignation.
Hearing this, Yan Zixi smiled "poof", this little boy was thinking about Xiao Wangye in front of him, and he even kicked him just now, if he knew, I don't know how he would feel.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance back at Xiao Jingcong, wanting to see what kind of expression he had at the moment.
Xiao Jingcong seemed very calm, he walked over, and when he was about to approach the little child, the little boy took out a dagger out of nowhere and stabbed Xiao Jingcong.
The little boy doesn't know much kung fu, and he is a child, although this dagger came out suddenly, it couldn't hurt Xiao Jingcong at all.
Xiao Jingcong easily dodged, took the dagger from the little boy's hand, and then grabbed the little boy in his arms, and said coldly.
"Alright, stop messing around! I'm the Xiao Wang Ye you're looking for. ”
"What do you say?! Are you Lord Xiao? How is this possible! You still want to deceive me? Am I really a three-year-old? The little boy gritted his teeth and glared at Xiao Jingcong angrily, not believing Xiao Jingcong's words at all.
Xiao Jingcong shook his head and asked helplessly: "Then you say, why are you willing to believe me?" You haven't seen Lord Xiao, how do you know I'm not? ”
"I heard my father say that Prince Xiao has a piece of Zhenguo unparalleled jade pendant given by the emperor today, if you can take out this jade pendant, I will believe in your identity."
There was no way, Xiao Jingcong had no choice but to take out the jade pendant that could prove his identity.
The little boy took a closer look at the jade pendant, and saw that the inscription on it was indeed "Zhenguo Wushuang", so he raised his head in surprise, looked at Xiao Jingcong in front of him blankly, and asked in disbelief.
"You really are the Prince Xiao of the Zhenguo General's Mansion!"
"Of course! Could it be that this king's jade pendant can still be faked? Hearing this, Xiao Jingcong replied with a grin. century
Seeing this, the little boy immediately knelt in front of Xiao Jingcong, and after knocking his head a few times, he began to cry in his mouth.
"Dongfang Wen Yu saw Xiao Wangye, just now Wen Yu didn't know that you were Xiao Wangye, there are many offends, and I ask Xiao Wangye to forgive you!"
"Get up!" Xiao Jingcong waved his hand, signaling the little boy who claimed to be Dongfang Wenyu to get up, Xiao Jingcong put his name in his mouth and recited it, and suddenly remembered a person, he looked startled, and immediately asked: "Wen Yu, this king asks you, who is Zhonglang Ling Dongfang Xiande?" ”
"Back to Lord Xiao, it is my father." Dongfang Wenyu didn't dare to hide anything, and truthfully told Xiao Jingcong.
Xiao Jingcong learned the identity of the little boy, and then it suddenly dawned on him, no wonder this surname is so familiar, it turned out to be the son of the old man.
Regarding the death of Dongfang Xiande, Xiao Jingcong has also heard about it, and it is said that Dongfang Xiande colluded with Beiliang, embezzled tribute silver, and committed the crime of defrauding the king. However, at that time, Xiao Jingcong was not in the capital, so this matter was finally handed over to Shuntianfu to deal with.
Xiao Jingcong has always had doubts about Dongfang Xiande's crimes, because he once had a one-sided relationship with Dongfang Xiande, and knew that Dongfang Xiande was definitely not the kind of traitor who sought glory, and it was very likely that he suffered great grievances and died with hatred. But his death was crushed from above, and in the end, it was over.
Now that he has met Dongfang Xiande's son here, Xiao Jingcong is almost certain that Dongfang Xiande died unjustly back then.
Dongfang Wenyu saw that Xiao Jingcong didn't speak, and cried there again: "Lord Xiao, please, you must avenge my father's grievances!" He was wronged! ”
When Xiao Jingcong heard this, he sighed and replied leisurely: "Wen Yu, when your father was killed, this king was not in the capital, otherwise you would never let your father die unjustly...... It's just that now that a person can't be resurrected after death, and there is no evidence to prove his innocence, how easy is it to overturn the case? ”
When Dongfang Wenyu heard this, he immediately took out a personal letter from his arms and handed it to Xiao Jingcong.
"Lord Xiao, the night before my father was killed, he already knew his fate, so he wrote a secret letter for my mother to keep, and then escaped from the capital with me, hoping that one day in the future, this secret letter can come in handy. Now I will hand over your secret letter to you, Lord Xiao, please make the decision for my father and wash away his grievances! ”
Dongfang Wenyu said and knelt down again.
Xiao Jingcong saw the secret letter presented by Dongfang Wenyu, and hurriedly took it, opened it and glanced at it.
After reading it, Xiao Jingcong was suddenly furious.
"Good for you, Zhao Rushen, you are so bold, colluded with Beiliang, and unjustly killed important ministers of the imperial court!"
It turned out that the secret letter was Dongfang Xiande who wrote down all kinds of evidence of Zhao Rushen's crimes, including how he broke Zhao Rushen's meeting with the secret envoy of Northern Liang and was assassinated by him......
The green tendons on Xiao Jingcong's arms burst out, and Yan Zixi hurriedly walked over to comfort Xiao Jingcong and let him calm down first.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Jingcong recovered his mind a little, and then said to Dongfang Wen Yu, "Wen Yu, you get up first!" Don't worry, your father's affairs will definitely be found out! No matter how cunning Zhao Rushen is, now with your father's secret letter, this king's chances of victory are a little greater, and he will definitely let Zhao Rushen, the dog thief, receive the retribution he deserves, and give your father an innocent and fair person! ”
Dongfang Wenyu heard that Xiao Jingcong agreed, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you Prince Xiao, thank you Prince Xiao!" In this way, my father will be able to see the water under the spring! ”
"Wen Yu, you don't have anywhere to go now, do you?" Yan Zixi seemed to think of something and asked.
Dongfang Wenyu lowered his head, and his originally joyful face showed a hint of loss, "No...... My mother is also dead...... I originally wanted to fulfill my father's last wish, and then I died and reunited with my father and mother under the Nine Springs......"
"What nonsense?!"
Xiao Jingcong snorted coldly and scolded Dongfang Wenyu: "You are a dignified man, do you just want this door to die?" ”
"But I'm ...... I don't have anything left...... No home...... No loved ones...... There are no friends...... "Dongfang Wenyu's resolute pupils gathered tears again.
When Yan Zixi saw it, she felt a little unbearable, so she discussed it with Xiao Jingcong.
"Jing Cong, you see that Wen Yu is already homeless, and he is the son of your old man, why don't we take him into the palace and be our righteous son?"
"Xi'er, are you willing to accept Wen Yu as your son?" Xiao Jingcong was a little surprised, she didn't expect Yan Zixi to say such a thing.
Yan Zixi nodded, "Well, Wen Yu is so pitiful, his background is so miserable, he is still young, he will only starve to death on the street, we can bring it back to the palace and raise it well, it can be regarded as an explanation for your father!" ”
Xiao Jingcong heard Yan Zixi say this, what opinion could he have?
