Chapter 31: Petition for Guilt (1st Watch)

The hall shouted three times Long live, and then the minister beat the book, and discussed for a while, before he heard the eunuch shouting loudly: "Xiahou Yu, the prince of Xuanguangwen, is here." ”

Xiahou Yu shook his sleeves, strode forward, walked to the middle with a serious face, and knelt on his knees to worship: "Xiahou Yu knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor." ”

Emperor Chu sat on the dragon chair in a bright yellow dragon robe, and raised his hand: "No courtesy." ”

"Thank you, Emperor, but the minister can't get up." Xiahou Yu knelt straight.

Emperor Chu sighed slightly: "Ah Yu, I don't see how you concentrate on politics on weekdays, but today you came to this hall on purpose, what is the matter?" This is the main hall of the council, not a child's play. ”

"Of course you do." Xiahou Yu took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and held them high: "Minister Xiahou Yu, come to ask the emperor for the murder of Xiao Xiantang, the son of the Xiao family." ”

"Please?"

"What's going on?"

King Guangwen frowned and scolded: "Xiahou Yu, what are you messing around?" ”

"Father, the son is not messing around." Xiahou Yu still held high, and his voice was louder: "Xiao Xiantang was killed, there is another inside story, and the minister implores the emperor to find out." ”

Emperor Chu raised his hand slightly, and the chief eunuch immediately understood, took the tray down, and asked Xiahou Yu to put the things inside, and then presented it to Emperor Chu.

Xiahou Yu paused word by word, and an incomparably clear voice sounded: "Xiao Xiantang is the minister's best friend from childhood to adulthood, he died in an accident, the minister was heartbroken, and he didn't want to believe that the person who had a good conversation with the minister yesterday really died, therefore, although the Xiao family tried their best to stop it, the minister still secretly sent someone to conduct an autopsy, and the first one on it was the murder weapon pattern drawn after the autopsy. ”

"The emperor only needs to send someone to verify it again, and it will be clear that the murder weapon that killed Xiao Xiantang was a short knife, and the shape of this short knife, unfortunately, was personally sent by the minister to create it, and finally gave it to the personal guard Liu Zhao."

In an instant, the ministers were in an uproar, what was going on?

Xiahou Yu ignored the whispers in his ears and continued: "This second one is the confession of the people in the house, late that night, the guards and the porter saw Liu Zhao go out, but his whereabouts were unknown, and he didn't return until around midnight in the morning. ”

"The third one is the house contract owned by the cousin of the step-concubine of Guangwen in Fengyue Tower, one is in his hand, and the other is left in the government as proof, and this one is taken out by the government."

"The third one is the confession of Xiahouyi, the son of the step-concubine of King Guangwen, that Xiahouyi did leave the house that night and did not return all night."

"Nonsense." King Guangwen was so angry that his face changed greatly: "Xiahou Yu, what are you talking nonsense?" How did this matter involve the princess and your brother? You only know how to be dashing all day long, where do you know what to investigate the case and conduct the autopsy, and talk nonsense, why don't you get out of here for me? ”

Xiahou Yu was kicked twice by King Guangwen, but he still knelt straight: "Why should my father be in a hurry, why don't you listen to Erchen tell an interesting story first?" ”

Xiahou Yu smiled mockingly, and looked at Emperor Chu: "The minister was in a drowse before, and he was indeed a little ignorant, but not long ago, the minister encountered an incident that made the minister feel like an initiation, and instantly understood, the minister is the prince of the world...... What a waste. ”

"The minister was in his own home, in his bedroom, and drank a cup of tea, but there was arsenic in the tea."

"Arsenic is highly toxic, but if the amount is too much, the taste is heavy, and if the amount is too small....... I'm afraid I won't be able to die all of a sudden. ”

"Ministers should not have tasted like that, a cup of tea in the stomach, hands and feet become numb, the whole body stiffens, and then the head is chaotic, and the mouth foams."

"Unfortunately, the minister tried, and it happened that there was no one who was waiting next to me, at that time, I thought I was going to die, just when I was dying, I remembered a detoxification pill that I bought at a high price two years ago, I was curious to buy it, but when I was dying, I had no other way, so I tried it, but I didn't expect to save a life."

A minister was dumbfounded: "There is such a thing?" ”

King Guangwen's face changed slightly: "Why didn't you tell this king about such a thing?" ”

The third prince also frowned: "Cousin Yu's words sound like such a child's play, can you still live if you eat arsenic?" It's unheard of. ”

"Yes, if you don't taste it, who knows that arsenic can't kill people if you eat it?" Xiahou Yu said coolly, and continued: "It was also this time of life and death, which made the minister realize that it was so easy for me, the prince of the world, to die, but the poison has been solved, and I know that my father will not believe it when I say it, so I didn't make a noise, but I began to secretly investigate, all the way to Xiahou Yi's body, I wanted to catch his handle, but I didn't expect that it would play a role in Xiantang's murder in the end." ”

Xiahou Yu raised his hand and took off the prince's beaded hat: "Your Majesty, the minister begs you to thoroughly investigate this case and let the real murderer who killed Xiantang be ambushed. ”

Xiahou Yu's operation, to the conspiracy, is a ruin, regardless of his father's face, regardless of brotherly love, moved the family ugly to the Jinluan Palace, but to put it clearly, the heart of a child, affectionate and righteous, is really rare.

King Guangwen didn't care about it, so he quickly knelt on the ground and begged Emperor Chu not to listen to Xiahou Yu's nonsense, but Emperor Chu pondered for a moment and smiled: "Okay, it's not a loss to my royal man, he has courage, righteousness, and sincerity." ”

Emperor Chu raised his hand: "Dali Temple Qingzheng." ”

"The minister is here." Dali Siqing is hurrying out.

Emperor Chu stared at him and said half-loudly: "This case will be strictly investigated immediately, and the King of Guangwen, the crown prince, and Prime Minister Mu will supervise the trial together, and this matter must be investigated clearly. ”

"Your Ministers obey."

Originally, what everyone was talking about today was the assassination of Dingbei Hou Xiao Junshu to assassinate his cousin, but in the end he was thrown by Xiahou Yu with a flat thunder, and now they are all shocked by the matter of Guangwen Wang's family.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Xiahou Yu was called away by King Guangwen, and he saw King Guangwen with an angry face from a distance, and before he walked in, he began to scold: "Xiahou Yu, have your wings grown stiff?" He didn't even say hello to the king and made the matter to the Jinluan Palace, making your father a joke. ”

"Jokes?" Xiahou Yu chuckled: "Father, it's a joke that you only care about you, if I really die, then I'....... Is it also a joke? ”

Xiahou Yu looked at King Guangwen for a moment, his face was sad and resolute: "Father, the son did not deceive people, I really died, and I know the feeling of dying better than anyone else. ”
