Chapter 117, turn your face on the spot

Seeing that the emperor stood up suddenly, a frost-killing awe-inspiring color appeared on his face, and the ministers in the hall were immediately so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything more, and the entire Hanyuan Hall was silent at this time.

Xu Ke said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, what Weichen wants to say is that the Cuiyun Tower, which is famous in Chang'an City, is actually His Royal Highness King Han's own property!"

"You...... What credentials do you have?!" Li Chongsheng pointed at Xu Ke's head and said angrily.

Xu Ke said: "The bustard, the girl, and the nursing home in Cuiyun Building, they can all testify!"

Li Chongsheng snorted coldly: "These are all criminals who are about to die, how can their confessions be relied upon?"

Xu Ke said: "Even if the confessions of these people cannot be relied upon, there is another person, he is not among the criminals, and his relationship with His Royal Highness King Han is also extraordinary. Your Majesty should always be able to believe this man's confession, right?"

Li Chongsheng asked, "Who is this person?"

Xu Ke replied: "His name is Pei Caibao, and he is the Qianhu of the former Nan'an Ping Division of Tsing Yi Wei, and later, after he resigned, he became the head of Cuiyun Building!"

"Pei Caibao?......" Li Chongsheng sat back on his dragon chair, thought for a while, and then asked: "Where is this person now?!"

Xu Ke said: "Your Majesty, Pei Caibao is now outside the Hanyuan Palace!"

Li Chongsheng immediately ordered: "Announce him in!"

The attendants in the hall who stood under His Majesty Dan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed and walked outside the Hanyuan Palace, and preached loudly:

"The emperor has a decree, Xuan Pei will guarantee the audience!"

Not long after, the ministers saw a short and fat bald man slowly walking into outside the main hall, this person was Pei Daqianhu, who had been entrenched in Nan'an Pingsi for more than 20 years, and was vigorous and breezy.

Last night, Pei Caibao's strategy to Xu Ke was to let Xu Ke take advantage of the emperor's rare early dynasty to tell the truth that Li Zuo, the king of Han, was the master of this Cuiyun Building in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Because, after all, Pei Caibao has been a Beijing official for decades, how can he not know what the emperor is thinking at this moment? The emperor is so anxious to give all the people in Cuiyun Tower to death, but he only let go of those prostitutes, and his intention could not be more obvious, that is, to cover up the ugliness of his uncompetitive son!

A prince who prostitutes in the middle of the night was not good, but after the people laughed for a while, the matter passed. However, if the prince opened a brothel without permission and wantonly collected prostitution from the people, this would be tantamount to openly arguing with the law of the Great Qian! If this matter spread, it would not only be the face of the king of Han alone, but also the entire royal family of the Li family, and even the entire imperial court of the Great Qian, would lose face.

In any case, the emperor can't afford to lose this man!

So, after Pei Caibao and Xu Ke discussed together, they decided to simply come to him to break the jar and break it! As long as the secret of King Han is pierced and everyone in the world knows, he Li Zuo is the behind-the-scenes proprietor of Cuiyun Tower, then there is no need for these people in Cuiyun Tower to die because of it!

However, the risks to be taken in this matter are not huge, and once the Son of Heaven is furious, it is not impossible to kill people in the palace. Therefore, when Xu Ke asked Pei Caibao to testify in the palace, Pei Caibao inevitably showed a look of fear. However, what Xu Ke didn't expect was that Pei Caibao could finally agree!

Even such a Pei Caibao can be so brave and not afraid of death, Xu Ke naturally strengthened his determination to rescue Mingyue in his heart!

Seeing Pei Caibao walking into the main hall with a calm expression, several thousands of households in the Tsing Yi Guard, along with Shen Huan, were extremely surprised. Especially Yang Wenyuan, who took over the position of Nansi Qianhu, he couldn't figure out why Pei Caibao would commit such a "suicide" even if he wanted to break his head. He thought to himself, Pei Caibao, Pei Caibao, did you let the donkey kick your head flat? You were lucky to have escaped that night! Shen Dudu remembered your old friendship in the past, and asked me to let you go and not pursue it, but I didn't expect that at this moment, you would take the initiative to send it to the door!

Pei Caibao walked to Xu Ke's side, knelt down to the emperor, kowtowed, and said:

"Grass people Pei Caibao, knock on the saint!"

Li Chongsheng glanced at Pei Caibao coldly and asked:

"Pei Caibao, I ask you, who is the proprietor of Cuiyun Tower?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the proprietor of Cuiyun Tower, surnamed Li, named Qiu!"

As soon as Pei Caibao said this, Xu Ke beside him couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart, how could he say that it was Li Qiu? If he suddenly changed his hexagram at this moment, then I really couldn't argue!

The corners of Li Chongsheng's mouth raised slightly, and he said to Pei Caibao:

"Get up!"

After Pei Caibao got up, the emperor asked Xu Ke:

"Xu Qianhu, the proprietor of Cuiyun Tower is Li Qiu, how did you actually get involved with King Han?"

"This ......" Xu Ke couldn't help but have nothing to say at this time.

The ministers standing in the train couldn't help but whisper to Xu Ke at this time, most of them were not good words, there were a few old ministers, who were already standing dizzy and dizzy, their feet were soft, and they had scolded Xu Ke countless times in their hearts!

"Shengshang!" Just when Xu Ke had nothing to do, Pei Caibao beside him finally spoke: "Li Qiu is only the nominal proprietor of Cuiyun Tower, but the real owner of Cuiyun Tower is King Han!"

"You are talking nonsense!" said the Emperor angrily.

"Since the proprietor is the proprietor, how can he say it in name! That Cuiyun Building is opened by Li Qiu, what does it have to do with King Han?!"

It can be seen that the anger on the emperor's face at this moment has become more and more intense, and the emperor is obviously even more angry about Pei Caibao's way of answering first affirmatively and then negatively! The ministers saw that the Son of Heaven was furious, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy, and the whispers in the corner of the hall before, at this time, disappeared again.

Pei Caibao argued to himself: "Qi Qi Sheng, then Li Qiu was originally a guest of King Han's Mansion, and he was named the proprietor of Cuiyun Tower, but he was just on the orders of King Han. In fact, for so many years, Li Qiu has never participated in the operation of Cuiyun Tower, and the big and small affairs in Cuiyun Mansion have always been under the orders of King Han!"

"How do you know these things?!" the Emperor asked angrily.

"Since the age of twenty-five, the grass people have been under the command of King Han, and the grass people have been serving His Royal Highness King Han for twenty-six years! In this whole hall, no one can know His Royal Highness King Han better than the grass people! At the age of sixteen, His Royal Highness King Han spent money to buy a big mansion in Pingkang Fang, named it 'Cuiyun Building', and opened a brothel. At first, he was just greedy for fun, but later, the business became bigger and bigger, and his subordinates simply bought dozens of houses nearby, and opened Cuiyunlou into the largest brothel in Chang'an City! Seeing that more and more silver was in hand, how could His Highness give up these white silver taels, yes, His Highness has always ...... it."

"Shut up!" Li Chongsheng was so angry that his beard trembled, and his face was already purple, and the emperor no longer wanted to listen to Pei Caibao talking such nonsense in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he immediately said angrily:

"That's nonsense!"

The Emperor summoned the armored warriors guarding the main hall:

"Where is Jin Wuwei?"

At the side of the main hall, two Jinwu guards wearing bright armor and steel swords hung from their waists rushed over.

The two guards bowed and shouted, "Here!"

"Drag this dog slave down and beat him to death!"

"Yes!"

The two Jinwu guards immediately clamped Pei Caibao's arms and dragged them outside the hall like a dead dog......

"Holy Lord, what the grass people said is true! If you don't believe it, you can ask Li Qiu and the other disciples of the Han Palace, they all know ......."

Pei Caibao is still struggling desperately, he didn't expect his ending today, however, once he really faces this result, he still can't help but struggle to the death.

Xu Ke stood beside him, and he couldn't help but feel unexpected, he didn't expect the Son of Heaven to be so protective, in order to cover up the ugliness of King Han, he did not hesitate to kill this most powerful witness in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military personnel.

Moreover, this is the only witness who can prove what he said at this time.

Isn't the Emperor playing a scoundrel?

In Xu Ke's original plan, he only needed to tell the fact that King Han was the real owner of Cuiyun Tower in front of the Manchu Dynasty in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and then Pei Caibao went to the palace to explain the reason clearly, and it was expected that the old emperor naturally had nothing to say. At that time, the secret of King Han had been revealed, and those people in Cuiyun Tower did not have to die innocently for it.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ke obviously underestimated the emperor's determination to cover up his son's ugliness. He never thought that after Pei Caibao explained King Han's secret in a reasoned and methodical manner, not only would it not help to solve the matter, but it would provoke the emperor's murderous intent!

At this time, King Jin couldn't help but sneer secretly when he stood in his train. He said in his heart, Xu Wuai, Xu Wuxi, do you think that my father and emperor did not dare to kill people on the spot in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty? You don't know my father and the emperor too well, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are nothing more than a group of lackeys in the eyes of my father! If he really wants to kill people and kill people, who would dare to raise objections? Are you stupid now? Wait a while, after your father killed Pei Caibao and destroyed the only human witness, you just wait for bad luck!

Naturally, in the train of the ministers, there are not a few ministers who think like King Jin. At the moment, this group of people took a good time to clean up their mood, and they were all waiting to see how to rectify Xu Ke after the Son of Heaven killed Pei Caibao......

For Xu Ke, it was really a critical moment of survival at this time, but he was obviously completely caught off guard, he stood on the spot, watching Pei Caibao being dragged out of the hall by two Jin Wuwei, and he was about to die, and there was nothing he could do!

At this moment, a person walked out of the main hall, and I saw him stop sideways in front of the two Jin Wuwei, stretched out his hand to the two armored warriors, and said in a deep voice:

"Wait!"
