Chapter 270: Absurd Verdict

Time passed gradually, unconsciously, even late at night, but Betty was not sleepy in the pleasant residence.

She wandered alone in the courtyard, looking up at the few faint stars in the night sky, but her heart was a little worried.

"Betty, you're so excited that you can't sleep?" At this time, Yalulet, who was drinking wine in the pavilion, happened to see Betty and shouted.

"It is not yet known what tomorrow will bring, so it is too early to tell!"

Betty walked up to the pavilion, poured a full glass of wine and drank it all, and then said worriedly.

"This time, the human and material evidence is complete, is it possible that Mo Xihou can still escape punishment, embezzle huge sums of money, indiscriminately kill innocents, and murder members of the royal family, which of these is not a felony that is full of beheading?"

Yalulet asked, confused.

"You think too simply, the struggle for power has never been based on right and wrong, but a long battle, even if the evidence is conclusive now, I am afraid that Emperor Lan may not be responsible for Mo Xihou after weighing the pros and cons. Betty guessed.

"What? Won't our efforts be in vain, especially Prince Naren and Princess Naxiao, who almost lost their lives for this?"

Yalulet was still confidently looking forward to tomorrow's victory, but now listening to Betty say this, with Emperor Lan's usual style of acting, it is not impossible for him to do so.

"I'm worried that Prince Naryn's enthusiasm will be lost in the power struggle of these deceitful powers, and he will not be able to accept it, not to mention that this matter is still decided by his father, who he respects the most. Betty sighed.

"But it's inconvenient for us to meddle in the affairs of the Imperial Court, so what can we do?" Yalulet also worried.

"After all, this is the worst outcome, and now we can only wait and see what happens, and wait patiently!"

Betty drank another glass of wine and said helplessly, but in her heart she was secretly praying for Prince Naryn.

For some reason, Yale Wright was also inexplicably worried about Princess Naxiao!

After a whole night of suffering, the imperial capital Marshall City finally ushered in a sunny morning, but today's sunshine seems to be particularly dazzling.

However, at this time, in the imperial palace, all the ministers lowered their heads, cautiously, and remained silent.

Only the father and son of Moxihou held their heads high, looking directly at Emperor Lan who was sitting on the throne of the main hall and Prince Naren who was standing aside!

Prince Naren glared at the father and son, while Emperor Lan dismissed them as nothing.

"It has been ascertained that Mosihou has embezzled hundreds of millions of lapis lazuli in the three counties of Paso, Vasser and Corén over the years, and these are the evidence of the crime!"

As soon as Emperor Lan spread his hand, those tax ledgers and confessions of the county guards all flew in front of the courtiers.

"Someone, bring the witness!" Emperor Lan then ordered.

Immediately, several guards escorted Liang Junshou and Di Junshou into the main hall, and the two county guards confessed to the incident and confirmed that they were instructed by Moxihou.

"Alright, take them all down!" Emperor Lan said, and the guards immediately took the two county guards out.

Seeing this, Prince Naren couldn't help frowning!

Because these two county guards wanted to prove much more than this, there was also the murder of the Hou Mansion, but Emperor Lan directly ordered them to be taken away.

"This, so it's all true!"

"That's too much, enough to cover an entire year's worth of the Empire's taxes!"

"It seems that Your Majesty is really going to make a move this time!"

"I don't think so, the power of the Hou Mansion is enough to compete with the royal family, Your Majesty should not ignore the safety of the empire, maybe it's just a small punishment and a big commandment......

In the face of conclusive evidence, the courtiers began to whisper.

"What do you think should be done with this crime, you might as well speak up!" Emperor Lan asked, looking down at the courtiers below.

"Enlighten the father, the son thinks that such a big crime should be punished!" Prince Naren was the first to stand up and speak.

"Just based on these fabricated things and the words of two villains, I want to convict me of Moxihou, His Royal Highness the Prince is too rash, right?"

Faced with a mountain of ironclad evidence, Mo Xihou asked unashamedly.

"Moxihou, now that the evidence is conclusive, you don't want to deny it again!" said Prince Naryn.

I saw Mo Xihou spread his hands gently, and a few wisps of earth color flew out of his palms in an instant, and the incriminating evidence floating on the hall disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Yes, what incriminating evidence, Ben Hou didn't see anything!" said Mo Xihou as he spread the dust on his clothes, and then said casually.

"Mo Xihou, you dare to openly use force in this hall, you are too presumptuous, this is a great crime of complicity, are you really not afraid of being beheaded all over the house?" Prince Naren shouted angrily.

Hearing this, Mo Qing immediately used his spiritual power in the palm of his hand, ready to attack at any time.

The tens of thousands of guards who were ambushed around the main hall quickly sacrificed their weapons under the instructions of Commander Charlie, as long as Emperor Lan gave an order, they would kill them!

The court suddenly faced each other, the civil war was about to break out, and the courtiers were even more in danger and trembling!

However, at this critical moment, Marquis Moxi directly ignored Prince Naren's anger, and instead reminded Emperor Lan word by word:

"Ben Hou just didn't want those messy things to affect His Majesty's judgment, so he cleared them for His Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty won't blame you!"

Time passed minute by minute, but Emperor Lan never said a word, but made an extremely embarrassed look!

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Moxihou has also made great contributions to the empire in the past, maybe this matter is just the work of the people in the palace, and the Marquis of Moxihou is at best only responsible for lax supervision, and I hope Your Majesty will be dealt with lightly!"

Seeing this situation, the courtiers who saw the wind making the rudder took advantage of the situation and said.

"Yes, yes, I hope Your Majesty will be lenient on Mo Xihou!" Some of the courtiers who were still silent just now immediately echoed.

The courtiers led by the national teacher and the rest of the courtiers did not express their position, and were still in a wait-and-see state, and most of them were still more cautious at this critical moment of standing in line.

"Father, the court must no longer tolerate adultery and condone evil, and the sons and daughters implore the father and emperor to punish Moxihou according to the law!"

Prince Naren knelt on one knee and resolutely insisted.

"The ministers agree to His Royal Highness's proposal, and ask His Majesty to deal with it according to the law!" Finally, a courtier was moved by His Highness and plucked up the courage to admonish.

"In that case, then remove Mo Xihou from all his positions, demote him to a commoner, and henceforth be confined in the palace and not allowed to go out without permission. ”

"In addition, you are limited to hand over 100 million lapis lazuli to the imperial palace within ten days to fill the treasury, can you agree to this judgment?"

Emperor Lan sighed and said slowly in a seemingly casual but undeniable tone.

"Father, by all means, as soon as this case is opened, I will ask who will be willing to abide by the laws of the empire in the future, and ask my father to take back his fate!"

Emperor Lan's approach was clearly to let Moxihou spend money to save his life, so before Moxihou could speak, Prince Naren firmly vetoed.

He couldn't understand why his father would make such a ridiculous verdict, but no matter what, as the prince of the empire, he would never allow such a thing to happen!
