Chapter 14: The Debate in the Court

As Xu Langyin thought, this Huo Yu really took a little means, and lurked in the prison in the middle of the night to plan to assassinate, but unfortunately, Yan Wanjun had already expected his every move, and arranged people in the dark, as soon as Huo Yu came, it was equivalent to throwing himself into the net.

Huo Yu, who was trapped hand and foot, stared at Yan Wanchuan viciously, as if he couldn't guess that he would fall into the hands of this little-known King Xun.

"What the hell do you want?"

"General Huo is a smart man, so he can naturally guess what this king is going to do." Yan Wanlian's fingers rubbed the teacup lightly and lightly, and said casually.

"You let my son go."

"Let General Huo's son go, it's okay." Speaking of this, Yan Wanyun paused subtly, her gaze shifted from the teacup to Huo Yu's body, and her words were slightly cold, "Then it depends on what General Huo takes in exchange." ”

"You!" Huo Yu's face was not black or red, he was afraid that he would be angry, "My son is innocent, you don't have a little guilt when you do this?" ”

"Guilty?"

Yan Wanjuan seemed to think of something, and suddenly smiled, "Then General Huo framed an innocent person like me, but does he feel guilty?" ”

Xu Langyin, who was loading mushrooms on the side, heard this, and couldn't help but glance at him, innocent? I'm embarrassed to say.

Huo Yu choked, and he didn't know what to say for a while, it turned out that he knew everything.

Huo Yu darkened his eyes, as if he had made up his mind: "As long as you let my son go, I will promise you everything." ”

Xu Langyin was surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect this Huo Yu to value his son so much.

"Since General Huo is so refreshing, this king will not go around in circles, as long as you help the old lady Xu clarify my assassination tomorrow morning, when the time comes, Ling Gongzi will naturally be sent to Huo's mansion intact."

Huo Yu closed his eyes: "Okay, I promise you, I just hope that King Xun will not be untrustworthy." ”

Yan Wanchuan hooked the corners of her mouth: "Hua Yu, don't hurry up and loosen General Huo." ”

"But ......" Hua Yu hesitated, a little uneasy about Huo Yu.

"General Huo's son-in-law is still in our hands, and General Huo will definitely not do anything else, right, General Huo." Yan Wanjuan squinted her eyes slightly and smiled.

"Humph!"

Hua Yu loosened his tie, Huo Yu immediately broke free and flicked his sleeves, "I, Huo, am not a person who is untrustworthy. ”

"Hua Yu, send General Huo out."

"Yes."

After Hua Yu sent Huo Yu away, Xu Langyin finally had the right to speak.

"My grandfather is involved, too?"

Yan Wanjun turned around and sat back in the chair, pecked the tea lightly, and was not in a hurry to answer her.

"Hey, you're talking." Xu Langyin was next to the wooden stake in the middle of the two prisons, and he wanted to stretch out his hand, but he couldn't reach Yan Wanyun.

"Do you think that after so many days in prison, the old lady will know nothing?"

Yan Wan glanced at her.

Xu Langyin choked, deeply feeling that his IQ was despised.

"The old lady has lived longer than Chao Lingwen, and his thoughts can't escape the old lady's eyes."

Xu Langyin looked at him strangely, he was afraid that she would worry about the old lady, so he comforted her, hey no, the point is not here, the point is that the emperor's name can be called casually?

Xu Langyin once again deeply felt the unclear relationship between King Xun and his old man and the emperor.

One night, Xu Lang was so worried that he lay on the bed and tossed and turned, until the sky was dark, and he fell asleep lightly.

And outside the prison, I don't know what kind of bloody rain it is.

In the early morning of the second day, there were ministers coming to the morning court one after another at the gate of the bright palace, so the days of step-by-step were very ordinary, but today someone broke such a routine every day.

It was none other than Mr. Xu who broke this routine and said in the court yesterday that he would give the emperor evidence.

When Mr. Xu was in the court today, he actually brought a corpse, which made all the ministers talk about it, and they all wanted to see what evidence Mr. Xu could come up with, but Mr. Xu actually brought a cold corpse, how could this dead man be evidence.

"There is no proof of death, it seems that this old man Xu is clearly cheating, and this old general in the past will do such a vexatious thing."

"I really can't get any evidence, so I found a dead man to pretend to be, but this emperor is not easy to fool, maybe Old Man Xu will be convicted in a while."

"General Xu has fought countless battles in his life, how many hard deeds he has made, and he is also very stable and upright, so naturally he will not casually find a dead person as evidence, the old general does this, naturally he has his reasons, let's not make up our minds too early."

The ministers were talking about Old Man Xu's actions at the door of the court, some supported Old Man Xu, and some people who did not get along with Old Man Xu on weekdays, and they were usually jealous of Old Man Xu's great military achievements, and he was appreciated by the emperor, but because of his identity, even if he remembered it in his heart, he naturally didn't dare to say anything more.

But now Mr. Xu has not been in court for many years, and now he disagrees with the emperor, these people who have no real skills are very good at observing words and feelings, and immediately stood on the emperor's side, relying on the emperor's power and saying that Mr. Xu is not right.

Ministers, you and I are talking in a whisper.

Master Xu listened to these people's arguments, and didn't bother to raise his eyes to take a look, as if Hao didn't care what they said, as if he had decided that the emperor would gladly accept his own special evidence.

It wasn't until they entered the court that these people who were arguing just now quieted down.

At this time, the major cities have already arrived, divided into two teams, civil and military, with high to low positions, standing on both sides of the court, the ministers have just stood The emperor has just arrived at this time, and the emperor is still sitting down on the dragon chair.

The ministers below immediately turned into birds and beasts and dispersed and became silent.

The emperor glanced at the people in His Royal Highness slightly, and finally his eyes fell on Old Man Xu, and he looked at Old Man Xu with a lofty momentum and asked, "Can the evidence of the old general be brought?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I have brought it, just outside the gate of the main hall."

The emperor had already instructed his subordinates to deal with everything yesterday, and he would be a little curious, what evidence could Old Man Xu bring over, so he ordered Old Man Xu to bring the evidence up.

There was already a minister in the hall, and his eyes couldn't help but flash, and after a while, the emperor saw the corpse brought by Old Man Xu, and he didn't know if he would be angry.

Old Man Xu received the emperor's order and immediately ordered to bring the evidence to the main hall.

Soon there were two men carrying a stretcher, and on the stretcher it seemed to be a person, or a corpse, because it was covered with a patch of white, so it was not known whether the person was dead or alive.

The two men carried the stretcher up the main hall, put it in the main hall and retreated.

Old Man Xu stepped forward and slowly uncovered the white cloth, revealing a corpse.

Sure enough, the emperor was furious when he saw Old Man Xu and brought a cold corpse.

The emperor was shocked when he saw the corpse under the court, and suddenly understood, what was going on.

The emperor glared at Old Man Xu and rebuked angrily, "Yesterday you said that you wanted to show me the evidence, but today you brought a cold corpse, you want to fool me as a fool." ”

After speaking, he stood up from the dragon chair violently, and threw the beads in his hand on the table, "You bring this dead man who can't speak to the court as evidence, what can you prove as a dead man?" ”

Old man Xu didn't have the slightest fear when he saw that the emperor was angry, his expression was calm, and he said in a steady voice, "This is the murderer who assassinated that day, but this murderer has been killed yesterday, so the minister brought his body over to the emperor for verification." ”

The emperor pursed the corners of his lips evilly, and said sarcastically, "The mouth of the murderer is extinguished, and the mouth of the person is extinguished, I think you deliberately killed people, so as to blame the dead for the bastard's crime." ”

Old Man Xu clasped his fists with both hands and bent slightly towards the Yellow Emperor, "The old minister doesn't dare to deceive Huang Shang, this is indeed the murderer of that day, although the person is dead, he can't admit it from his own mouth, but there are still living people who can prove that he is the murderer." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Huo Yu on the side with warning eyes, and silently reminded him that his life was in the hands of the prince, and the decision of whether to die or live was in his hands.

Huang Shang looked at Old Man Xu coldly, he already knew in his heart, this murderer was sent by him to kill him, and he originally wanted to die without proof, but he didn't expect that Old Man Xu really dared to take a dead man to the court, and said that someone could prove it, and the person who could prove it, he also knew who it was in his heart, but he didn't know how Old Man Xu persuaded that person.

"Okay, who's the living?" Huang Shang frowned imperceptibly.

The old man, seeing the emperor's expression in his eyes, sneered in his heart, he has already found out, this is obviously a good show directed and acted by the emperor himself, and now he pretends not to know, it seems that the emperor's acting skills are still really good, and this aspect really makes Old Man Xu admire.

Although Old Man Xu knew that this was done by the emperor, he couldn't tell the truth and blame the emperor, so he put all the blame on this dead man, anyway, he couldn't refute what he said if he was dead, he looked at Huo Yu again, "I also ask Lord Huo to explain the truth to the emperor and return the prince's innocence." ”

Although Huo Yu was very angry in his heart, but his child's life was in the hands of Yan Wanyun, he naturally did not dare to act rashly, so he could only cooperate with Old Man Xu Jiang All the blame was attributed to the dead man in front of him.

Huo Yu walked to the middle of the court hall and lifted his robe, bent his legs and knelt down, "Back to the emperor, Weichen has found out that the assassination that day was indeed done by this person."

Now that the real murderer of the assassination that day has been found, and there are witnesses to prove that the assassination is the corpse in front of him, although the emperor is unwilling, he can't just go his own way, so he believes that King Xun is the murderer of the assassination.

And there are also many ministers in the hall who are on the side of Old Man Xu, interceding for King Xun, and the emperor has to admit that he has misunderstood King Xun when he looks at the situation in the hall.

The emperor immediately wrote an edict and instructed his father-in-law to go to the prison and release King Xun.
