Keiko walked into the hall with her neck stiffened, and a soldier rushed past beside him.
I saw the soldier walk up to the main hall and report to Sara: "City Lord, we found 580 pieces of gold, silver and jade in Reita Ueda's yard, totaling 17 million taels of silver."
How could a man who relied on his father-in-law as an official get so much gold and silver? Huizi looked at Sara, and as expected, his expression was extremely different.
With so many things confiscated in the yard alone, Reita Ueda couldn't even explain that there was no corruption.
Before, Jiang Xiong Dawu kept saying that his son-in-law was not the mastermind of colluding with the enemy. How should he talk about corruption now? If Suoluo hadn't sent someone to check it, no one would have discovered this matter.
The ministers' eyes changed when they looked at this family. They were filled with envy and fear.
Reita Ueda didn't look at her face, but couldn't help but wince when he met Sara's eyes. The worst thing is that if he turns these things over to the treasury, he will surrender to the city lord. The city lord can't still pursue these small things, right?
While others were thinking about things, Keiko couldn't help but think of the scene where she had just been persuaded by the maid next to Sara.
At that time, she was taking care of her two-year-old son in the palace. When she heard that the maid from the city lord's side was coming, she was confused and immediately asked her confidants to bring the person in.
Her husband has been restless these days, and besides, he went to court today and never came back. Now the city lord's maid came again. She was so frightened that something happened to her husband.
In fact, something happened to her husband, and he was pushed out to take the blame in the court by his always-respected mentor.
Keiko knew that her husband's mentor had always looked down on her, so that was all. She could endure it for the sake of the peace of the family, but she couldn't endure it when it came to her husband.
She loves her husband and her children need a father.
"Mr. Tuheliang Tai is extremely capable, and our city lord intends to reuse him. However, he is now at a critical moment of life and death. If you can persuade him to switch sides and atone for the mistakes he made before, he can continue to serve as an official in the Sara Kingdom." The maid next to Sara relayed it very clearly.
Turning sides and atone for one's sins are the only way for Ryota Tsuchai to overcome this difficulty, otherwise he will die of beheading today.
Keiko didn't look at her husband again and knelt on the ground to worship Sara.
Ryota Toai also loves his wife deeply, and when Keiko looks like this, he knows that she is angry.
Keiko was really angry. After all these years, she didn't believe that her husband didn't have any clues about his mentor. She didn't show it for so long. Did she want to bear the crime of treason for her mentor?
"Taihe Liang Taijun, you will die for collaborating with the enemy and treason, right?" Keiko turned around and asked expressionlessly.
The man in front of Keiko was stunned, then nodded sadly.
"Well, the children and I will die with you."
Ryouta Toai's eyes widened in confusion, and he knelt down to grab his wife and persuade her not to do this. Why did he memorize everything? Isn't he just thinking about fulfilling the relationship between master and disciple for half his life, and at the same time making his mentor feel guilty and be kind to his wife and children.
Ryota Toga's face twitched and his teeth trembled: "No, you and the child must live well!"
Keiko turned away with a sad expression: "I know you are grateful to your mentor. When you were young, you thought about marrying Miss Tomoko, but Miss Tomoko fell in love with someone else. You met me when you were sad, and even though you didn't love me, you married me. .”
Ryouta Toai shook his head, trying to say no.
"When your mentor revealed that he wanted you to marry Miss Tomoko as an equal wife, I felt pain in my heart. I just wanted to bear it for you."
"Nonsense, who said I was going to marry Ryota Dougai and become an equal wife!" Tomoko was proud that she had escaped another hurdle, and she was still under Sara's nose. When she heard that she was being talked about, she was furious.
No matter who Ryota Togo is, she deserves to be an equal wife.
As Tomoko's husband, Reita Ueda was also disgusted: "Stop talking nonsense! I'm still alive, so I'll let him marry my wife?"
Because the two people suddenly got angry, the palace was in chaos.
Sara threw a teacup on the ground in front of everyone and stopped him: "Shut up!"
The sound of the tea cup breaking was clear and clear, and the kneeling ministers and witnesses immediately did not dare to say anything.
"Ms. Keiko, continue."
Jiang Xiong Dawu didn't make a sound. Seeing that the situation was developing in an increasingly weird direction, he couldn't help but feel panicked. Sarau deliberately let Tomoko enter the city lord's palace in order to force him to make a choice, which he could understand.
Then why did you let Ryota Togo's wife come?
In fact, the answer is already coming out, but Jiang Xiong Dawu doesn't want to think about it. That conjecture is too shocking. This proud disciple has his own reasons. Does he want to make a choice at this time?
"Today you have only two choices. Our whole family will die together to fulfill your loyalty and filial piety. You can provide evidence that you are not the mastermind of collaborating with the enemy. We will receive the punishment we deserve and continue to live a harmonious and beautiful life as a family." Keiko's lips turned white, she I don’t want to force my husband.
Ryota Tsuchai knelt on the ground and made a gurgling sound. He didn't know whether he was crying or laughing, maybe both.
"I have always loved you, Keiko. I no longer love Tomoko since she was with Ueda Reita."
After Keiko finished speaking, the ministers remained silent until Ryota Toai said that he had always loved his wife, but they still didn't come to their senses.
What did they hear? Ryota Toai has evidence of his mentor.
The ministers were just influenced by their inherent thoughts and felt that Jiang Xiong Dawu and his like were so powerful that they would be able to escape accountability. However, they were not fools. Everything that would happen in the dynasty today seemed to have a certain smoothness to it.
Everything is developing in the direction that is beneficial to Sara, and Jiang Xiong Dawu's chief officer is retreating steadily.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiong was furious: "Tsuchai Ryota, when you were a few years old, I took you with me to teach you. They said that a teacher is like a father. You married a wife who was not with Tomoko. I never said that to you, but you How could you let your wife arrange this with me?"
If you look closely, there is fear in his eyes.
Jiang Xiong realized that the meaning of these words was very clear: first, he brought a representative with him when he was a few years old; second, he has been entrenched in Asano City for a long time and his power is not simple; third, if Ryota Toai is If he dares to betray, his wife and children will be in danger.
If he doesn't betray, Keiko will die for love, but if he betrays, Keiko will die in his hands, before and after death, it would be better for Tuhe Ryota to fulfill half his life's kindness.
Jiang Xiong Dawu was so bold to say the threatening words in front of so many people!
As the driving force behind all this, Tomoko sat slumped next to Ryota Ueda, not daring to take a breath. Has her father been caught by Ryota Toai?
How could Ryota Togo do this? His father was his mentor. If his father fell, what would she and the Jiang Xiong family do?
At this moment, Tomoko understood the danger of today. She was wrong, she should not underestimate the power of the city lord.
Tomoko glanced at Sara, then immediately moved away.
Sara didn't have time to argue with the spoiled eldest lady, so she said coldly to Jiangxiong Dawu: "Chief Jiangxiong, are you threatening Ryota Toga?"
"How is it a threat? I was just angry at being slandered and gave a few words of warning." Jiang Xiong Dawu said to himself that there was no obvious threat, and no one could find fault.
"Ha," when the matter came to a close, Sara would no longer pretend to be a snake with him, and directly said to Toga Ryota, "Guess why I asked someone to call your wife here? It's just to let you think about it. Be aware of who you should value."
"How much do you think a person who betrays his disciples for his daughter or son-in-law cares about you? On the contrary, it is Keiko who would die for you."
The ministers had already guessed whether Sara was responsible for everything today. When they heard the affirmative answer, they did not dare to make any noise. They had to look around to express their shock. Is it possible that they will witness the complete elimination of a major cancer today?
Asuoye City is so big, and most of the benefits are divided up by Jiang Xiong Dawu and another faction. If he falls, they...
All kinds of thoughts were surging secretly, and the courtiers lowered their heads and did not dare to let Sara notice anything strange.
"If your report is meritorious, the city lord's palace will take the decision to protect you and your wife and children. Anyone who wants to persecute will have to go through this city lord." Sara stood up and promised Toga Ryota.
"Ah, ah, Ryota Toai, if you dare to betray my father, you will be dead!"
"Hold her down." Sara motioned to the soldiers to come forward.
The soldier suppressed Tomoko's arm, preventing her from moving.
The palace was extremely quiet, except for Tomoko's scolding, there was no other sound. General Zuo, the Second God Kyousuke, and even the ministers were all waiting for Ryota Toai's choice.
Jiang Xiong Dawu closed his eyes. He knew that today would be a bad day.
Tuheliang Tai almost fell down, but Keiko supported her with distressed support.
Ryota Toai took out the arm held by his wife and slowly took out the letter he took out this morning from his sleeve pocket. Originally, he had no intention of taking it out.
He loved his wife and his children, how could he watch them and himself die.
"City Lord, this is evidence that the chief official is collaborating with the enemy." Ryota Toai held the letter in both hands and bowed his head deeply.
The maid quickly came down to take the letter and went up to hand it to Sara.
These traitors who colluded with the enemy country were extremely cunning, and they asked their subordinates to contact the enemy country in case they were defeated and took the blame. As for contacting his subordinates, he left it to his right-hand man.
It's just that we should be cautious. In order to prevent the left and right from deceiving the superior and the inferior, as the chief envoy, we still have to present some evidence and even affirmative words.
The letter in Sara's hand was very simple, only writing the words "obey the fate of Tuhe Liangtai".
Of course, there is also a mysterious seal printed on the lower right corner.
"That is the chief officer's handwriting. As for the seal, it should be in the chief officer's study. As for where the study is, I don't know."
Sara threw the letter to Jiang Xiong Dawu: "Do you have anything else to say?"
"I have nothing to say." Jiang Xiong Dawu laughed at himself, what else could he say?
"Oh? If you don't make excuses, maybe my people won't be able to find the seal in your study." Sara smiled sarcastically, and her words were heart-wrenching.
Countless times before, including when her father was still in power, he had often used cunning to escape responsibility, but this time he repeated his old tricks.
Jiang Xiong Dawu stopped talking.
"Pull him out and behead him immediately!" Suo Luo stood on the high platform with his hands behind his back.
The ministers did not dare to look at it and knelt on the ground. Today's Jiang Xiong Dawu may become another of them in the future.
"No!!!"
The scenes that had repeatedly forced her father to compromise flashed through Tomoko's mind.
'Tomoko, I love your mother. Before your mother passed away, you asked me to take good care of you. How can I bear to make you sad? If you want to marry Ueda Reita, just marry him. With his father here, he will not dare to let you down. '
'Zhizi, there will always be only a concubine in the house, and there will never be a wife. You can always be an innocent and innocent young lady, and you don't have to worry about possible intercourse with your mistress. '
Tomoko's face was filled with tears unconsciously.
Jiang Xiong looked back as if he was enlightened, his eyes lingering: "Tomoko, take care of yourself."
The soldiers acted rudely, and Jiang Xiong was dragged out of the hall.
The broadsword was raised, reflecting the rising sun.
The knife fell, and the blood from the decapitation splashed, and the head fell to the ground with a thud.
Tomoko struggled and collapsed: "Give me my father back, give me back..."
"Why, why did I just save Reita Ueda? Why did my father die?" Tomoko's hair was messy and she turned around, trying to get the remaining warmth from her husband.
Reita Ueda stood up at some point and walked to stand next to Sara.
Reita Ueda smiled broadly and met the eyes of his wife, who had always been innocent, childish and lawless. Unexpectedly, the person she wanted to save had already joined the city lord.
If Sophon had not come today, Jiang Xiong would not have lost anything, let alone his life. Everything was due to Sophon's willfulness.
Tomoko's eyes widened and he couldn't say a word. He only felt an unprecedented coldness all over his body. When he looked at Sara, there was no contempt in his eyes, but he was full of fear.
"I've long had enough of this unruly and willful woman like you!" Reita Ueda sneered.
