Chapter 108: Witnesses
After saying that, Wei Rou turned to leave the king's road again, "Your Majesty, the people now implore the king to allow the people to bring a person up." That person can testify that the person who destroyed the Wei family was the Hou Ye. β
Liwang waved his hand, and now that the matter has come to an end, he can only pretend to be a Ming Jun and thoroughly investigate the truth.
The guards escorted Wei Rou to lead people, and Pei An also followed. Gu Xiaonuan glanced at Wei Rou slightly, she hadn't told Gu Xiaonuan about this scene yet, presumably this person was brought in by Wei Rou and hidden in the palace a long time ago.
And when she got here, Gu Xiaonuan sneered in her heart, she was used by Wei Rou after all.
If Gu Xiaonuan knew in advance that there was this link, she would not have agreed. After all, the person sitting in this main hall is a suspicious king, she lurks beside her, and she can still shirk her responsibility. said that she didn't know before, but there was a person hiding here, and if she didn't have the help of her queen, how could she bring it in? In this way, it is impossible for King Liwang to believe in himself anymore, and he even feels that all this is done by himself and Wei Rou.
After a while, Wei Rou led a person in, that person was a middle-aged man, but he seemed to be blind and couldn't see the road, all relying on Wei Rou's support.
As soon as the man came in, the crowd began to disagree, saying, "How can this blind man be identified, who cannot see?" β
Wei Rou said, "It is precisely in this way that his words are the most credible." β
As he spoke, he asked the king for pen and ink, and said, "Can the king borrow some pen and ink from the people's daughters?" β
Liwang also asked people to fetch some, and then Wei Rou handed the pen to the blind man, and spread out the paper, although the man was blind and could not see, but he could still paint.
After only a while, he drew a portrait, and when the portrait was picked up and shown to everyone, there was a sigh of embarrassment.
"Isn't this what Master Hou looked like when he was young?"
Wei Rou also said at this time, "This blind uncle is the one who escaped death when the Wei family was destroyed, and he was also his father's protΓ©gΓ©, the reason why he was able to make a portrait of Hou Ye without seeing it was because he saw Hou Ye with his own eyes, although he was brutally stabbed and blinded by Hou Ye back then, but he still remembered Hou Ye's appearance." β
At this moment, everyone thinks that it is Hua Hou Ye who did all this, and there are already people talking about it, "The person who personally executed the Pei family's case back then was Hou Ye ......." β
At this moment, Hua Hou Ye knew that his life was probably over. In the face of so much evidence, even if he wants to struggle again, the person standing in the court at this moment is not allowed.
But the most important thing is that he knows that the person who wants his life the most now is the person sitting in the lobby. He didn't care about the others at all, but once that person wanted his own life, it was useless to struggle no matter how much he struggled.
In the midst of everyone's heads, the king turned his gaze to Hua Hou Ye and said, "Hou Ye, these, but are they true?" Was it really General Pei who you framed back then? Is it really the old General Pei that you framed? β
Liwang was gambling at this moment, he thought, Hou Ye Hua is a smart person, he will not deny it at this moment, after all, he wants to protect so many people in the Hou Mansion. will not tell the truth of the year. After all, so many people in the Hou Mansion still have to live, and he won't let them all be buried with him.
Hua Hou Ye also knew at this moment that things had come to this point, as long as he took all the blame, the king would definitely protect the rest of the Hou Mansion, and exchange his own life for the lives of the Hou Mansion, and this transaction would not be a loss.
It's just that when he is about to die, he can't die alone, he still has to pull it when he should be pulled into the water, such as the queen.
When he turned his gaze to Gu Xiaonuan, Gu Xiaonuan roughly knew that Hua Hou Ye was going to pull her into the water together.
Sneered twice, Hua Hou Ye said, "That's right, I framed the Pei family back then, I did it, and I did everything." β
As soon as these words came out, there was another commotion in the hall, all of which were talking about it, and they were shocked and unbelievable.
Pei An, who had been calm from the beginning, suddenly became dark at this moment, just like the bottomless dark deep pool, what was hidden in it was something that people did not dare to snoop on, and could not know everything.
The most is pain, even if he has known this truth for a long time, but when he hears it from Hou Ye's mouth today, he still can't help the pain.
Suddenly, he walked over to Hua Houye, with a hint of murderous aura in his eyes, Gu Xiaonuan was a little nervous, his back tightened, and he looked at Pei An. I wanted to remind me, but I didn't dare.
"Pei An."
It was the minister who spoke for the Pei family first who called Pei An, as if to wake Pei An from those hatreds, and Pei An stopped again.
Gu Xiaonuan looked at Pei An and motioned to him, "At this time, Master Hua can't die yet, calm down and ......." β
Every time Gu Xiaonuan's eyes and her words are like a tranquilizer, they can calm down the angry Pei An, and they are enough to imprison the demon who wants to get out of his heart again.
"Master Hou, why are you doing this? The Pei family has been loyal for generations, why did you frame General Pei so much? "The king began to behave coyly.
Hua Hou Ye sneered twice and said, "Why do you want to do that?" can't get used to it, the old minister just can't get used to his arrogant style, doesn't he just know how to fight? Relying on himself to fight, he thinks who he is, no one in his eyes, and he doesn't take the old minister in his eyes. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone accused him one after another, and the dignified Marquis of Lin Guo's Mansion was so small-bellied and hated poison so much, just because he was jealous of General Pei, he framed him and killed him.
It seems that at this moment, the high-spirited Hou Ye has aged at this moment, showing his old age, and a trace of white hair has grown on his temples.
He knew that the glory of the Marquis of Lin was ruined during this dynasty, and from then on he would have to accept the world's abuse, accusations, and notoriety, which would be passed on from generation to generation. The descendants of the Hua family will never be able to raise their heads.
However, after a lifetime, he no longer cares about those glories, as long as the rest of the Hou Mansion survives safely, this is enough.
It's just that he has never felt a little guilty about the Pei family, he was jealous of General Pei back then, so he will not feel guilty or remorseful.
It's just that if you say remorse, you didn't get rid of the queen in front of you as soon as possible. He only now knows that although this queen is a woman, she can stir up the situation of the previous dynasty.
This banquet, he didn't know until now, was a Hongmen banquet. He learned about Hua Jiaoyue before, and I am afraid that the queen deliberately passed on the news to herself, the purpose was to make herself angry, so that she could provoke this in order to perform the following good show.
It's just that the queen in front of him is really not the queen who is high up in his perception and disdains to use any means.
The queen at this moment, although she has the same face as the queen before, you can't guess what she is thinking.
