Chapter 15: Accusing Fang Xu
"That being the case, I also ask Master Li to take me to the imperial front, and I want to sue Fang Xu for trying to instigate my father to harm me." Ye Shuhua spoke weakly.
Li Su was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
There is a law in front of it, and the identity of the county lord is also here, and Fang Xu's behavior of plotting to kill the county lord can be known just by looking at the terrible wounds on the county lord's body.
Every wound was rushed to take the life of the county lord.
There was no reason why he shouldn't say yes.
Besides, since he came with Yin Zixun, he couldn't sit idly by.
Fang Xu saw that it was Li Su, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, again, and this time he must not let him spoil his good deeds.
"Lord Li, this is the emperor's order to let Lord Ye teach the county lord a lesson, I just follow along, there is no such thing as instigating murder! Besides, this is a family affair and an imperial order! Don't you want to disobey your orders? ”
"Disobedience? Lord Li saw with his own eyes that you intended to murder the county lord under the guise of Lord Ye's hand, and I can also see it clearly, these secret guards just hit you and acted on your orders. The evidence is conclusive, Master Li is just acting according to the law, where is the disobedience? Could it be that you think that Lord Li acting according to the law is disobedience, and you are questioning the law and questioning the imperial power! ”
Yin Zixun had already sat back in the wheelchair, his eyes were cold, and he stabbed straight at him.
There seemed to be countless cold arrows against his eyebrows, which made his back chill.
It was the first time Fang Xu had seen a person's eyes so terrifying.
That chilling aura made him unconsciously take half a step back.
But the other party is obviously just a weak and unbearable waste person in a wheelchair, how can he have such a strong sense of oppression.
Removing his eyes, Fang Xu frowned at the moment, questioning the imperial power, this was a big crime, he naturally couldn't admit it.
His eyes were visibly panicked, and then when he saw Ye Zhao, his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly quibbled: "I didn't plot to kill her, the county lord was beaten like this, but Lord Ye hated women, so he started hard!" Right? The last sentence he said to Ye Zhao.
As long as Ye Zhao admits that it was his own will and dealt such a heavy hand to Ye Shuhua, then Ye Shuhua's accusation that he instigated Ye Zhao to murder her will not be established.
In this way, Li Su can't take Ye Shuhua into the palace to face the saint!
Ye Zhao looked at the situation in front of him and didn't say anything.
He didn't expect that his daughter would be able to move Li Su, and her remarks just now were reasonable, and Li Su agreed.
Li Su is an official of the imperial court, and he should be the second grade, as long as he wants to take Ye Shuhua away, neither he nor Fang Xu can stop him.
The corners of Ye Shuhua's lips twitched slightly, what she just said about Fang Xu instigating Ye Zhao was to grasp Ye Zhao's selfish mind, and it was expected that he would not help Fang Xu in order to protect himself.
Ye Shuhua didn't want to talk too much nonsense, so she only looked at Li Su again and said lightly: "Master Li, let's go." ”
Li Su looked at the shocking opening on the county lord's body, and immediately understood, and ordered the two guards who followed him to open the way and escort the county lord out of the mansion.
Ji Cui waited at the door early in the morning, and there was the carriage she had snatched beside her.
She has been by Miss's side for many years, and although Miss's temperament has changed greatly now, she still understands Miss.
As soon as she heard what Miss told her, she naturally guessed what Miss was thinking.
got into the carriage, Ji Cui drove the horse with Zhuying and Jiuyu, and Yin Zixun also accompanied him as a witness.
The carriage drove all the way to the palace.
In Ye Mansion, Fang Xu, who was so angry that he gritted his teeth, glared at Ye Zhao viciously, Ye Zhao knew that he didn't help just now, so he didn't dare to look at him.
But in the situation just now, even if you help yourself, it won't help.
So he raised his eyebrows, directly ignored his fierce eyes cheekily, and said, "General Fang, let's also hurry up and enter the palace together, otherwise wouldn't it be up to Ye Shuhua to have the final say in today's affairs." ”
Fang Xu was not completely angry and lost his mind, so he naturally knew that he was going to enter the palace.
Retracting his anger, he glanced at him and teased: "When the time comes, you won't be silent for self-preservation, right?" ”
Ye Zhao smiled embarrassedly, touched his nose, and hurriedly denied it, "Naturally not, you and me, we are the same." ”
"Hmph, it's good that you know!"
Ye Zhao took refuge in the prince, and it was all recommended by Fang Xu in the middle, otherwise the prince would naturally not take him seriously.
He will not sit firmly in the position of the head of the household, and he has long been replaced by the person who the prince likes.
Inside the Imperial Study.
Yu Zhenguo, the first assistant, Bai Weisheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and several cabinet lords Wei Xiang, Ji Chong, and Guo You are all here.
Originally, they were discussing the matter of sending envoys from neighboring Li State a few months later.
But he saw Li Su, the young secretary of Dali Temple, taking the county lord Ye Shuhua to ask to see.
With the permission of the emperor, the adults stepped aside.
Looking towards the door, I saw Ye Shuhua wearing a lilac velvet hooded cloak, being supported and walking slowly, as she walked, the white goose feathers around the brim of the hat were also trembling up and down.
The cloak had an inner collar that wrapped her entire body and neck.
When I got closer, I saw clearly that the thin and tender lips were bloodless, and the complexion was as white as frost, and the palm-sized little face was almost skinny and bone, with few taels of flesh.
The body is even more slender, wrapped in a heavy cloak, as thin as a paper man.
It's as if if one is not careful, he will be overwhelmed by the cloak.
Yu Zhenguo frowned slightly for a moment, he was also there this morning, she acted absurdly and made a divorce matter, and afterwards the emperor only said that Lord Ye would reprimand her.
But why did she become so weak?
Moreover, there were faint traces of blood under the cloak, especially the place where the neck on one side of his side was close to the mandible, and a hideous centipede-like mouth could be seen.
Yu Zhenguo doesn't have much pity for Ye Shuhua, but she is the only bloodline of his favorite granddaughter, the eldest princess.
Furrowed his eyebrows and remained silent, waiting to see what was happening.
Ye Shuhua endured the pain, knelt on the ground with the support of Ji Cui and Zhuying, slowly raised her arms, and folded her hands on her forehead to bow.
His hands were on his sides, and his head was slammed on the floor.
This is a great Chinese ceremony, and it will only be performed when there is an important sacrifice or when there is a major grievance and when the white robe bows to the saint.
Ye Shuhua clenched her teeth, endured the pain of an ant's bite on her body, and spoke weakly.
"Courtesy Ye Shuhua, knock to see the emperor. The courtiers want to sue General Fang Xufang and instigate their father to murder the courtiers! ”
As soon as these words came out, the emperor and the ministers present were shocked.
Although Ye Shuhua is not loved by the emperor because of the name of the evil star, after all, she has royal blood in her body and is the emperor's niece.
The murder of the county lord is no small matter.
"Your Majesty, Lord Ye Zhao and General Fang Xufang ask to meet." The shrill voice of the eunuch at the door came.
The emperor's brows were tightly locked, and his face was slightly gloomy.
"Invite them in."
The atmosphere in the room was gloomy, and the emperor was visibly displeased.
After Fang Xu entered the imperial study, he hurriedly saluted and knelt directly on the ground, shouting that he was wronged.
"Your Majesty, the minister is really wronged, the minister has no intention of murdering the county lord. The minister went to the Ye Mansion with Lord Ye, just to persuade the county lord to admit her mistakes quickly, so that she could bring her back to the Fang Mansion.
But the county lord refused to admit his mistake, and threatened that she was resting, and Lord Ye was furious when he saw this, so he asked the minister to borrow the secret guard to teach the county lord a lesson. The minister didn't do anything, please let the emperor know it. ”
"Yes, the emperor, the little girl is stubborn, she has always refused to admit her mistakes, and she once threatened to drive the minister out of the Ye Mansion, saying that the Ye Mansion was hers, and she also threw the minister and General Fang into the stinky pool, which is really stubborn and vicious, and she has not changed her teachings, so the minister has made a heavier move." Ye Zhao also chimed in.
Ye Shuhua remained silent, kneeling aside, waiting for them to finish.
The emperor's eyes were shining, swept over the two of them, and then landed on Li Su, who was standing aside.
He said in a deep voice: "Li Su, tell me what is going on." ”
Li Su was dressed in an official uniform, stepped forward and bowed, and replied respectfully.
"Emperor Qiqi, Weichen didn't know the whole story, but after Weichen followed the servant girl who was asking for help to Yefu, he saw General Fang ordering a group of secret guards to whip the county lord's head. With such a whip, the county lord will definitely die, and Weichen saved the county lord in time, so that the county lord was able to save a life. ”
Li Su's words were fair and clear, and he truthfully stated the facts, and everyone knew it as soon as they heard it.
The words of the county lord's complaint are true.
Li Su's fairness and fairness are in the hearts of the court and the emperor, and it is naturally unshakable, which Fang Xu knows better than anyone.
As long as Li Su said the truth, he would be speechless.
But under this premise, it is Li Su's fair and fair situation.
What if he wasn't?
Although offending a young master of Dali Temple is not the best policy, it is also better than the name of murdering the county lord.
Even if he is buckled up in the end, as long as there is no ironclad evidence, he still has a back-up.
"Master Li, why do you have to press me step by step, do you have to let me tell you about you and the county lord?"
Hearing Fang Xu's words, a trace of disgust and doubt appeared on Li Su's always expressionless face.
Yin Zixun stood aside and listened to him open his mouth to be a rumor, and he was even more disgusted with him.
Ye Shuhua was almost amused by his words.
He had never let her down, and every time he was reborn, he was able to surprise her to varying degrees.
The thickness of the skin is getting thicker and thicker every time.
With such a ability to open his eyes and say nonsense, and open his mouth to spread rumors, he really called the second and no one dared to call the first.
"When did General Fang learn to talk nonsense from those vulgar and salty people in the streets? I didn't expect General Fang to dabble in such a wide range and learn a lot, and this official really admires it. ”
Li Suleng teased him and glanced at him.
The emperor's expression was gloomy, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.
Fang Xu was ridiculed, but he didn't panic at all, but kowtowed to the emperor again.
"The emperor Mingjian, Weichen definitely didn't lie about this matter. Weichen didn't know when Lord Li had a relationship with the county lord, but it was only today that Weichen discovered some clues. Not long after the next dynasty, Weichen had just arrived in Yefu, and the county lord also sent a picture album and snacks to Lord Li. That dim sum is still the dim sum of Chuntang Dim Sum Shop, and it is also Master Li's favorite food. ”
This was what Mrs. Ye told him about when they came, and he had a plan to make Li Su's testimony count.
As long as he is falsely accused of having an affair with Ye Shuhua, whether it is true or not, his testimony cannot be counted as a way to avoid suspicion.
