Chapter 617: A Cup of Poisoned Wine
She thinks that doing business is a personal ability, and being able to retain customers proves that she knows how to retain customers better than other store owners.
In this era, Lin Shengyue's sister thinks more about business competition, which is also a point of her negligence.
The emperor investigated and rumored that Gongsun Yi and Fushengmen were in collusion with the crown prince, no matter how much he didn't like the prince, the prince was also his son, he couldn't let the world see his jokes, the prince was canonized by the emperor himself, if he said that he wronged Gongsun Yi, the prince would be blamed by the world, and the emperor's face was gloomy.
The emperor of a country takes face very seriously, so he will not tell the world what is going on, so he can only find a substitute for the ghost.
"You go find someone for me, go to the cell and find a death row prisoner."
The emperor began to plot how to deal with the collusion between Gongsun Yi and Fushengmen.
The eunuch didn't understand what the emperor meant, in short, the emperor had his own ideas, and as a eunuch, he could only do what the emperor said.
It didn't take long for the eunuch beside the emperor to bring a vicious prisoner. The prisoner didn't expect him to be able to see the Son of Heaven, although he was not afraid of death, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up when he saw the True Dragon Son of Heaven.
"Your Majesty, this is the death row prisoner who has committed a great crime in the cell."
The condemned prisoner never thought that what he did would be interrogated by the emperor in person, and the case he did had been closed, and he confessed to his actions.
"Do you know why I want to see you today?" The emperor touched his beard with a calm face, and the condemned prisoner had nowhere to put in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the sinners don't know, the sinners are the ones who have made mistakes, and they are about to face the execution ground, where will they know what the emperor is doing when he sees the sinners, and the emperor wants to kill or kill the steens without complaint."
Where would a death row prisoner think that one day he would be able to meet the emperor, in this era of the Ninety-Five Supreme, ordinary people are very lucky to be able to see the emperor.
The emperor doesn't have any feelings for this person, he just needs someone who can be a scapegoat for the crown prince.
"I won't kill you today, and I have something to tell you when I let you come here." After the emperor finished speaking, he glanced at the eunuch next to him, and the eunuch understood what the emperor meant, but the emperor did not speak in person, but the eunuch told the death row prisoner the purpose of seeing him.
When the death row prisoner heard what the eunuch said, his eyes widened in disbelief, he didn't expect that the emperor would let him be the lamb of the guilt. Yet he didn't know who to blame.
Just let him admit to spreading rumors outside, saying that Prince Heshuo had colluded with Fushengmen. Prince Heshuo is also a relative of the imperial family, he and Prince Heshuo have no grievances, but they are just a small grass people, and now they are about to be involved in the royal whirlpool.
Who doesn't know what will happen to the curling royal whirlpool, the death row prisoner has no possibility of life, and the emperor wants to change his death.
"You should have understood what my father-in-law said just now, I don't need to say much, you know it, you have to think clearly, no matter what, you will face death, what are you hesitating about?"
The emperor was very calm, even if the death row prisoner did not agree, he would let the death row prisoner agree to his request.
"Your Majesty, the sinner people have made a lot of mistakes, but the sinner people have never spread anything about Prince Heshuo's collusion with the Fushengmen, and the sinners don't know what the Fushengmen is."
The emperor looked at the trembling death row prisoner kneeling on the ground, his face was full of contempt, he could be a death row prisoner, and he was still pretending to be innocent here at this time.
"Damn it!" The emperor didn't hold back, and the words in his heart suddenly popped out of his mouth.
Both the eunuchs and the death row prisoners were taken aback by the emperor's angry words.
"The emperor spares his life!" The death row prisoner didn't know what to say, so he could only ask the emperor to spare him.
The emperor seemed to have heard a big joke, a death row prisoner was actually begging him to spare his life, if the death row prisoner could live, what else was it called a death row prisoner.
"You are really good at talking, I can't spare you, even if I spare you, the law of the country can't tolerate you." It was only after a few angry shouts that the death row prisoner realized how ridiculous he had just been. He didn't dare to speak more, and the emperor glanced at the eunuchs beside him again.
The eunuch nodded knowingly, and then said to the death row prisoner: "We have investigated the situation in your family before, and there is an old mother in your family who is old and difficult to live. ”
At the mention of his mother, the gaze of the death row prisoner who had no emotion in his eyes actually softened, and his changes completely fell in the eyes of the emperor.
I'm afraid that people in the world never thought that in order to protect the crown prince, the emperor would use a person's mother to make the other party compromise and become a scapegoat, which is not something that an emperor would do.
"Your Majesty, don't hurt my mother, the sins are all done by me alone, the emperor will come at me if he has anything, even if the emperor wants my life now, I won't blink."
The emperor, who originally looked down on death row prisoners, did not expect that the other party would be such a person, and the emperor suddenly had a little admiration for the death row prisoner in front of him.
"Whoever said I was going to kill your mother, I was going to kill you." The emperor said bluntly, the condemned prisoner knew that he had no way to escape death, and he could not escape.
"The emperor means that he will send someone to take care of your mother until she dies, and as for you, you must do what our family just said."
Hearing that the emperor had no intention of hurting his mother, the condemned prisoner fell to his knees on the ground.
"What the hell do you think?" The eunuch asked impatiently, if it weren't for the prince, the emperor wouldn't have had time to meet such a sinner who didn't know his identity.
The condemned prisoner thought that he had done a lot of bad things, and it was precisely because he did bad things that his mother had no one to take care of her, and her life was hard, and now the emperor promised to take care of his mother and let him die in a different way, since it was all death in the end, it was better to choose the way that the emperor gave him.
The emperor is the Ninety-Five, and he believes that he will take good care of his mother.
"Your Majesty, since this is the case, the criminals are willing to bear the charge of spreading Prince Heshun and the Fushengmen, and the left and right are death, and if I can do something for my mother before I die, I can be regarded as filial piety."
The condemned prisoner is a person who has done too many bad things, and he has no feelings, but his feelings for his mother surprised the emperor. But this is unlikely to make the emperor let him go.
"In this case, you drink this glass of wine, if you are above the main hall tomorrow, you can nod whatever the emperor says, when your head falls to the ground, the emperor will naturally send someone to your house to take care of your mother."
The eunuch carried a tray in which what appeared to be a glass of wine, a cup of poisoned wine, of course.
