Xing Zhida was frightened by Huo Jing's words, and hurriedly said, "Shizi, what are you doing here?" I'm afraid it's not right for you to do that! ”

Huo Jing said indifferently: "What's wrong with this? Since we are all suspicious of King Jie, wouldn't it be normal to invite him for questioning? If he is wronged, let's just accompany him at that time. But if this matter really has something to do with him, and we let him go, how should we explain it to Your Majesty? ”

Looking at Huo Jing with a righteous face, Xing Zhida didn't know how to dissuade him.

Wan Lin continued Huo Jing's words and said, "I agree with the prince's opinion. If you don't invite His Royal Highness King Jie to ask, I'm afraid this case will be fruitless. ”

Whoever let Huo Jing be the presiding judge, he didn't have to wait for Xing Zhida's consent, and immediately sent someone to invite King Jie.

As soon as Guo Yi heard that they really dared to invite King Jie, his face suddenly lost blood, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only be silent helplessly.

Guo Hongbo's mood also became apprehensive, he wanted to say something to Guo Yi, but he didn't know what to say.

Everyone waited in silence for the arrival of King Jie.

The people of the capital are eating melons today.

At the beginning, Dou Xianxu was taken to Dali Temple, and then Yu Wenyao and all the subordinates of Yu Mansion, and at this time, Concubine Xian's nephew was taken to Dali Temple, such a lively scene is really rare.

When the people who eat melons haven't digested all the melons, something unexpected happened again.

The official errand of Dali Temple actually went to the Jiewang Mansion!

King Jie looked indifferent, as if he did not go to Dali Temple to be investigated, but to drink tea in Dali Temple.

After King Jie came to Dali Temple, Wan Lin and the others all stood up and saluted him according to etiquette, and then began to get into the main topic.

Xing Zhida has been an official in Dali Temple for many years, and he has also interrogated some imperial relatives and even convicted them.

But it was the first time to directly interrogate the prince, and it was inevitable that he was a little nervous.

On the contrary, Huo Jing was very calm.

His newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, not to mention that the prince and prince are standing in front of him, even the prince dares to judge.

Wan Lin has always been polite and detached from King Jie, respecting him for the sake of him being a prince, and now in this situation, Wan Lin is not afraid because he is a prince.

Therefore, Wan Lin's expression is calmer than Xing Zhida's, and he is also more indifferent than Huo Jing.

King Jie didn't speak, but first observed the expressions of the three of them.

With just one glance at the three of them, you can guess what they are thinking.

As soon as King Jie came, Guo Yi quickly lowered his head, and Guo Hongbo cast a plea of help at him.

Guo Yi is his only son, and if he is affected by helping King Jie, Guo Hongbo will want to die.

King Jie really didn't disappoint Guo Hongbo, gave him a little response, and nodded at him slightly.

Guo Hongbo regarded this as his promise to help Guo Yi, and his hanging heart was slightly relaxed.

"I wonder why the three adults brought this king here?"

In the end, it was King Jie who opened his mouth first.

Xing Zhida was about to speak, when Wan Lin rushed in front of him and said, "Your Highness, take a look at the two people beside you, one is your uncle and the other is your cousin, right?" ”

King Jie said as a matter of course: "That's right, one of them is Guo Hongbo, the uncle of this king, and the other is Guo Yi, the cousin of this king. ”

Wan Lin nodded, "It's good that you can admit your relationship with them." The minister will continue to ask you questions. ”

King Jie smiled indifferently, "Master Wan can ask whatever he wants." This king must know all things, and he will say all things. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your cooperation." Wan Lin asked politely, "May I ask Your Royal Highness, did you instruct Guo Yi to copy Yu Wenyao's handwriting and write a secret letter to my wife and Huo Jing?" ”

After listening to Wan Lin's question, King Jie did not change his face, and asked innocently, "What are you talking about?" The king didn't understand. ”

Xing Zhida was frightened by Wan Lin's bold and direct questioning, and was about to remind him to be tactful, but Wan Lin said something that made him even more shocked.

"Your Highness, Guo Yi has just admitted that you instructed him, and it is better for you to confess."

Hearing Wan Lin's words, Guo Yi immediately became anxious.

"You talk nonsense! I didn't betray Your Highness! I swore an oath to His Highness......"

However, halfway through the words, Guo Yi realized that something was wrong, but even if he stopped it now, it was too late, and everyone turned their eyes to him.

On the surface, King Jie still looked calm, but he had secretly clenched his fists.

Guo Hongbo gritted his teeth even tighter, and his legs were a little weak.

Guo Yi knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly remedied: "What I just said means that I am loyal to my cousin!" I am what you call the 'King of Victory', and I will not betray my cousin no matter what!" But I wasn't told to do anything! ”

It's a pity that no matter how Guo Yi explains, it's useless, and he only has the suspicion of getting darker and darker.

"Enough! Don't say any more! King Jie said in a deep voice, and you could tell how annoyed he was from his suppressed voice.

Guo Yi hurriedly shrunk his neck and stepped back in fear.

Seeing this, Wan Lin calmly persuaded King Jie: "Your Highness doesn't need to be angry, if you don't instruct Guo Yi to do these things, you can explain calmly, and the ministers will not wronged you." ”

King Jie also realized that he had just revealed his emotions, and almost gave Wan Lin a chance to take advantage of it.

King Jie quickly adjusted his mood and returned to his previous elegance and gentleness.

"This king has a clear conscience, and there is nothing more to explain. This king also heard about you and your wife, and wanted to take the time to see you, but I didn't expect us to meet here. ”

Wan Lin looked at him and smiled without saying a word, giving him plenty of time to speak.

King Jie saw that Wan Lin didn't talk, Huo Jing and Xing Zhida didn't speak, so King Jie continued.

"This king doesn't want to delay your business, since you have invited this king, then this king will make it clear to you. The case you are investigating has nothing to do with this king, and no matter what others say, this king still has a clear conscience. If you really doubt the king, give him convincing evidence. ”

After King Jie finished speaking, he bowed his hand to them, "It's not too early, this king still has something to do, so I'll leave first!" ”

King Jie was about to leave after speaking.

"Your Highness stays!"

Huo Jing suddenly stood up, and a front flip came to King Jie, blocking his way.

"What do you mean by that?" King Jie asked dissatisfiedly.

Huo Jing looked directly into his eyes with a pair of cold eyes and said, "Before you finish asking Your Highness, why is Your Highness in a hurry to leave?" ”

King Jie saw that he was a person who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and it was shameless to be blocked by a teenager in public.

In order to save face, King Jie instantly sank his face.

"This king has finished saying everything that needs to be said, why don't you let this king go? Do you have conclusive evidence that this king has anything to do with this case? ”

Huo Jingcai was not afraid of how long he could stretch his face, and still said with a tough attitude: "Your Highness, you are here, let's ask you a few more words before leaving." Otherwise, if you leave like this, I am afraid that some people will say that you are lawless because you are the prince, and Dali Temple will lose its prestige in the hearts of the people in the future. ”

After Huo Jing finished speaking, he didn't continue to force King Jie, but turned sideways and said, "The people call you 'King Xian' in private, do you want to go or stay or make your own decision." ”

The reputation of "Virtuous King" is one of the most proud names of King Jie, and what he values most is his reputation.

King Jie thought for a moment and immediately said, "Of course, this king, as the prince of Dachen, can't ignore Dachen's laws. Since this king is suspicious, then this king will cooperate with you to find out about this matter! ”

King Jie was not in a hurry to leave this time, and his expression looked more calm.

Wan Lin took the opportunity to say: "Come on, why don't you give His Royal Highness King Jie a seat!" ”

Xing Zhida secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and also said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for cooperating with the ministers and others in investigating the case." It's really not that the ministers want to commit the following crimes, Your Majesty is also keeping an eye on this case, and the ministers have to hurry up! ”

King Jie's face was slightly cold, and he glanced at him, "Okay, this king won't leave." If you want to ask anything, just ask. ”

King Jie said, and glanced at Guo Yi.

Guo Yi didn't dare to raise his head again, he didn't know what he was thinking about.

After King Jie sat down, Wan Lin spoke again.

"Your Highness, since you said that you were not involved in this case, can you help me analyze and analyze, why did Guo Yi do those things?"

Wan Lin knew that King Jie would definitely say that he didn't know anything, so he calmly told what Guo Yi had done.

After hearing this, King Jie really showed a puzzled look as Wan Lin expected, "How could he have such a stupid idea?" The queen is virtuous and has never done anything wrong, how can he have the intention of framing the queen? ”

After talking to himself, King Jie reprimanded Guo Yi.

"Cousin, what are you doing here? The Guo family is now in a prominent position, with endless glory and wealth, even if my mother will always be a concubine, there will be no shortage of Guo family wealth! ”

After reprimanding Guo Yi, King Jie hurriedly pleaded with Wan Lin and the others, "This cousin of this king is young, and some of his ideas are very unreliable, and I ask you adults not to worry about him in general." Although he had such a rebellious idea, he didn't really hurt anyone after all. This king is willing to admit his mistakes to Wan Daren and his wife, the queen and Yun Guifei on his behalf. Please raise your noble hands and be gentle on him! ”

"Your Highness, I'll wait ......"

Xing Zhida thinks that what King Jie is saying now is a step, so he should let King Jie go down this step.

Because he thinks that even if King Jie is really the mastermind behind this matter, he can't really be interrogated, otherwise if the emperor knows the truth, won't he "kill father and son"?

This is not necessarily the result that the emperor wants to see.

However, he had such concerns, but Wan Lin and Huo Jing were different from what he thought.

After Huo Jing saw King Jie's "performance", he couldn't help but ask with mockery: "Your Royal Highness King Jie, do you really plan to let Guo Yi resist everything alone?" ”
