Chapter 662: Hands Bound
The left and right cheeks of the sixth prince were swollen symmetrically, and the pain was hot, for fear of being slapped by Xiao Xu again, so he simply broke the jar and shouted:
"Chu Junlan didn't kill Princess Cai, Princess Cai was murdered by me and my grandfather! We bought off the girl next to Princess Cai and gave her a poison that made people crazy, and Princess Cai's biological father, the Seventh Master, also knew about this matter! ”
Old Patriarch Cai's eyes darkened when he heard this, and his head buzzed, such a scandal was revealed, how will the Cai family gain a foothold in the future?
The sixth prince also knew that it was inappropriate to say these things, but Xiao Xu, who was carrying the sword, was too terrible, and it was too painful to be slapped, so he could only hang his head with a miserable face.
The voices of the six princes spread out in the huge Jingxu Mountain Square, making everyone hear it clearly.
The crowd poured cold water into the hot oil pot, and the discussion started with a "bang", and the people who were talking about Xiao Xu's radicalism before have now changed the direction of the wind.
"Isn't the grandfather of the sixth prince the fifth master of the Cai family?"
"And such a thing? Princess Cai's death was too aggrieved, her biological father and uncle conspired to poison her, and the trusted maids around her poisoned. ”
"Just to frame a woman, this is crazy!"
"I can't imagine that the six princes are this kind of person."
……
Xiao Xu listened to the people's discussions with satisfaction, and walked to the side of the sixth prince with a blood-dripping sword, as if he could give him another shot at any time.
"And, go on."
Looking up at Xiao Xu's eyes, and then looking at the cold and shining blade, the six princes' frightened faces were colorless.
"I said, I said, torture the wounded soldiers, I, I did it. Chu Junlan broke my story, so I killed the Cai family and gave her the blame. And I, I also bought off the subordinates of Prince Gong's mansion and hid the dragon robe in Prince Gong's bedroom. ”
As if he wanted to get out of the way for himself, the sixth prince hurriedly said: "But this matter is the idea that my grandfather helped me!" ”
The civil and military ministers in the audience couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and let out a sigh, and even the officials who had spoken for the six princes blushed under the strange eyes of their colleagues.
Thinking that all the suffering that Chu Junlan had endured was caused by the Six Princes, Xiao Xu's eyes were even more murderous, and the cold sword was attached to his neck horizontally, as long as he used a little force, he could cut the throat of the Six Princes.
The sixth prince was so frightened that he hid back, and cold sweat flowed straight down his neck: "What are you doing!" I've said everything you told me to do! Father, father, help! Father, save me! ”
Emperor Jinghong's face was pale, looking at the two people on the high platform, as if someone had hollowed out a piece in his heart.
His sons are killing each other, one is really wronged, the other is so uncompetitive, but he tries his best to defend it for the sake of royal face. Between these two people, if you protect one, you can't protect the other, how can you have both?
Xiao Xu's approach was so radical that he did not leave a way out at all, not only made the matter big and let the people know about it, but also directly uncovered the royal scandal and completely exposed it in front of the people and courtiers, and he left no room for discussion and turnaround.
Emperor Jinghong closed his eyes with self-blame, it was his attitude that completely chilled Xiao Xu's heart, which made him so desperate.
He just wanted to use decisive means to make Chu Junlan's innocence known to the world, wash away her grievances for killing her mother-in-law, and let those who wanted to use her death to get stability get nothing, Xiao Xu didn't even care about his own life or death.
Emperor Jinghong said in a deep voice: "Xu'er, stop. ”
Emperor Jinghong's voice was not high, but Xiao Xu, who was always paying attention to the lower on the high platform, heard it clearly.
He paused in his movements, did not answer, and raised his voice, "Did you all hear me?" I've tried my best, but I just want to get to the bottom of it, and now the six princes are willing to tell the truth, as long as you check with your heart, you can confirm that what the six princes said is true, the six princes and the Cai family get carried away, and a lot of evidence is on the bright side! ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Xu suddenly tilted his head and smiled: "However, don't look back and say that I tortured the confession to make the six princes say a false confession in order to defend the six princes." ”
The more Xiao Xu laughed, the more exaggerated he became, and finally he leaned back and smiled backwards, pointing to the six princes beside him, who didn't know whether he was scared or hurt, and his face was full of tears: "Your baby pimple, give it back to you." As he spoke, he lifted his collar and threw the man into the pile of the royal guards.
The moment the sixth prince was thrown down, he only had time to say "ah".
The guards below had already been waiting for a long time, and when they saw this, they subconsciously reached out to pick it up, so concerted efforts, there were still several guards whose arms were broken, but it was good that the six princes did not fall out.
The moment he was flattened on the ground, the six princes were frightened and fainted.
"Quick, quick, please doctor." Someone shouted anxiously.
The old patriarch Cai didn't care about anything else, and shouted directly to the side of the six princes, this is the hope of the Cai family in the future, their Cai family wants to turn over, so they expect the six princes to be able to ascend to that position in the future.
Emperor Jinghong raised his head and looked up at Xiao Xu on the high platform.
Xiao Xu also looked down at Emperor Jing Hong, his eyes were unpredictable, with sadness and helplessness, but also a little relieved.
At this time, the Praetorian Guards and the servants of the Huaijing Yamen gathered at the high platform.
Looking at the Praetorian Guards and errands who were getting closer and closer below, Xiao Xu turned to look at the subordinates led by Jing Yu, Huo Yeqing and Zhang Li, and suddenly knelt on his knees and made a big salute.
"This time, I tired you, and I can't take you to soar, but I may even cause you to die with me."
"Lord Shizi, don't say that." Everyone knelt on the ground in unison, their faces full of sincerity.
Jing Yu said: "It was our own volition to follow the prince, and the prince had already made it clear to us about the stakes, and gave us the silver to let us go first." It is we who are willing to accompany you to your death. ”
"Yes, the prince treats us with the grace of knowing us, and it is our luck to be able to follow the prince in this life."
"Even if you die today, what's the matter? Eighteen years later, he is a good man again! ”
"It is an honor for me to die with the son!"
The guards were arrogant, looking at Xiao Xu's eyes with only sincerity and trust, without the slightest resentment.
Xiao Xu was moved, and when he thought of Chu Junlan, his smile became even softer.
At this time, the Praetorian Guards and the messengers went up to the high platform and rushed up.
Xiao Xu did not resist, and let people press his shoulders and handcuff him with chains, and everyone under him also put down their weapons and were captured.
In this way, the imperial court did not spend a single soldier, but in the end it still caught Xiao Xu, a "murderer" rebellion.
Seeing that Xiao Xu and his entourage were tied up, Emperor Jinghong's face was gloomy, Xiao Xu made such a big fuss, even if he had the heart to protect him, he couldn't be partial in front of so many people and civil and military officials, so he had to order: "Temporarily detain the person in the prison of the Criminal Department, I will personally investigate this matter." ”
