Chapter 22: False accusations

Mu Xiwan rubbed the corners of her forehead, got up and walked out.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw the two of them chatting hotly at the door.

This newcomer is not Qi Ke who Sun Miaomiao asked before entering the door. The two seemed to be able to talk, but Qi Ke didn't know what to say, and Sun Miaomiao covered her mouth and smiled.

"Sorry for the late ......" Qi Ke saw her first, "Are you okay?" ”

Mu Xi didn't want to speak for a while, and nodded slightly.

Qi Ke thought that she was a little scared because of falling into the water, and didn't notice her estrangement for a while, let alone the change in her attitude.

A trip, because of the late fall into the water, everyone's interest is not very high, for fear that they will also follow in the footsteps of the late Muxi, and basically stay away from the lakeside.

……

For a few days, Mu Xiwan has not been out of the mansion.

The court is also changing.

"There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat." The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at the ministers.

"The minister has his own music." A minister stood in the center, holding the fold in his hand, and lifted it above his head.

The emperor glanced at the eunuch on the side, and the eunuch immediately ran down and quickly handed the fold to the emperor's hand, and the emperor did not immediately turn it over, but listened to the minister's explanation.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, I met Vice General Xu having a drink with someone, but I saw that the person was not wearing a knife from my country, and I was suspicious, so I secretly investigated, but found evidence of his fornication with the enemy, please see it." After the minister finished speaking, he took out two more letters from his bosom.

During this time, the atmosphere was already tense, and as soon as the charge of collaborating with the enemy was spoken, the court was suddenly silent.

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair has opened the excerpt of the minister's performance at some point.

"You're slandering!" Vice General Xu was born as a military general, and he fought with Mu Xiwan's father all the year round, and he never had too much intersection with these civil officials, and he didn't know why the other party was framed like this.

"Vice General Xu, the evidence is conclusive, how can it be slander, I found these letters from your home, I didn't bring them all, and I will hand them over to the emperor at that time."

"When will I have a drink with other people?! Even if you slander, you don't know how to make up a good excuse...... "Vice General Xu firmly believes that the Qing is self-purifying, and he doesn't look at the civil officials in front of him at all, not to mention that he hasn't done those things at all."

However, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair frowned more and more tightly after reading the recital presented by the minister, and finally looked through a letter and stood up suddenly.

With a "snap", the song was thrown on Vice General Xu's head and smashed him squarely.

Vice General Xu looked stunned, he didn't have any illicit communication with the enemy country at all, let alone anyone from other countries, obviously he didn't know why the emperor was so angry.

"Your Majesty, Wechen didn't fornicate with the enemy, and Wechen didn't know anyone from other countries at all!" Vice Admiral Xu said loudly.

The emperor is obviously furious, and in his case, anyone who is involved in the crime of fornicating with the enemy country belongs to the kind that is absolutely unforgivable.

"Come on, press Vice General Xu down!"

"The emperor's ......" Vice General Xu obviously did not expect that one letter and two letters could break the emperor's trust and directly detain him.

No one gave him a chance to talk more, and the guards waiting at the entrance of the hall moved very quickly, and pulled him down very quickly.

After taking people into custody, the emperor's anger has obviously not disappeared, after all, collaborating with the enemy and treason is the biggest taboo in the palace, but these few letters and the ministers of the underground transcript are not enough to put this charge on Vice General Xu's head, and his detention is only a moment of anger on the emperor.

"Captain Shi, I'll leave this matter to you for review, and I will definitely check it out!"

Captain Shi hurriedly received the order, and looked at the minister who had just played the book quietly.

After this incident, no one dared to touch the emperor's brows again, after the emperor explained, the emperor's sleeve robe waved, and he heard the eunuch on the side flick the dust in his hand, and the male duck shouted loudly: "Retreat from the dynasty——"

The emperor hurried away, and all the ministers also left the hall.

"You can hand over all the evidence to me." Shi Taiwei picked up the folds and envelopes that were thrown down by the emperor from the ground, flipped through them casually, and said to the ministers beside him.

The minister did not prevaricate, and soon a dozen letters were delivered to Captain Shi.

Captain Shi flipped through it casually, snorted, and placed all these things on the table, not looking.

On the same day, some people saw a large group of officers and soldiers breaking into Vice General Xu's residence, and Captain Shi Taiwei led a group of people to turn the inside of Vice General Xu's room upside down, but nothing was found.

He looked meaningfully at the minister who had to come with him.

"How is that possible?! How could it not be, you can look for it again! "They have done a very good job in this matter, how can there be no evidence!

"We have searched the entire mansion and found no evidence of treason in the mouths of the adults, not even objects from other countries." Which minister led the search back to the guards.

"Since there isn't, then I have to ask you where those letters came from, and I haven't found any evidence that I keep saying."

"How is that possible!" The minister's face suddenly turned pale, if it was confirmed that Vice General Xu was not guilty, then he, the person who was falsely accused, would be guilty!

"Okay, I'm going back to the palace to report, you better don't pestle here." Captain Shi straightened his cuffs and walked away with a group of guards, leaving the falsely accused minister where he was, he could almost think of what he would face next.

He had always had a bad relationship with this Captain Shi, and he didn't expect the other party to show mercy.

A search comes and goes as fast as it comes.

Vice General Xu was acquitted after only two days of detention, and the civilian official who falsely accused him was sent to prison.

The emperor symbolically rewarded Vice General Xu with something to make up for the grievances that had been pressed on Vice General Xu's head in the past two days.

It was already late at night, and the lights had been turned off in the streets and alleys, except for the faint candlelight in Vice General Xu's room.

"Where's the stuff?" He asked in a low voice to his subordinates below.

The subordinate gave a dagger to Vice General Xu.

This dagger has a peculiar shape, at first glance, it is only not made by the Northern Yan Kingdom, the scabbard of the dagger is opened, and the entire knife body is engraved with a few words that are taboo in the entire Northern Yan Dynasty.

Seeing these things, Vice General Xu sneered a few times.

In order to frame him, he really tried his best.

"Dispose of all this, who hid all these things in the mansion can be investigated?"

"The investigation came out, it was a small servant in the house who took the money, as for who is behind it, his subordinates are incompetent, and they have not yet been found."

Vice General Xu listened to his subordinates with a cold face, and then let him go out with a knife.

Then he took out a letter that he put close to him, it was when he went to court that day, someone stopped his carriage and gave him this letter, the letter made everything clear, originally Vice General Xu didn't believe it, but his heart moved, or let his subordinates take the things away.

As a result, he had an accident that day, if he hadn't moved fast at that time, I am afraid that he would not be able to save his head now.
