Dali Temple
"King Dingbei, you are simply going too far. My grandson was killed by you back then. I already spared your life because of your youth and ignorance. I didn't expect that after so many years, you would actually use this method. The way you disturbed my grandson's rest, if you can't give me a reasonable explanation to the Bai family today, I will meet with the Holy One to seek justice for my grandson."
Prime Minister Bai stood in the courtroom and looked at King Dingbei arrogantly.
King Dingbei was a king and he was a minister, but he had a condescending attitude, which immediately made Tao Yaoyao change his face.
"Prime Minister, don't be impatient. It's not too late for you to get angry when the prince explains everything clearly." Tao Yaoyao walked forward with a smile and asked Xie Lan to explain, but she didn't wait for him to speak. continued.
"Last night, the prince dreamed of Bai Ziye. He said that he had sinned very much and told the prince to help him no matter what, otherwise he would not be able to live in peace even if he was a ghost.
You also know that my prince is kind-hearted, and he is reluctant to ignore the requests of ordinary people, let alone this person is related to him.
So he asked him carefully, why are you worried? Bai Ziye said that it was not the prince who killed him back then, and the real murderer was someone else.
He originally thought that the Bai family could find his murderer to avenge him, but who knew that the Bai family would not care about his life or death at all for their own selfish desires. He couldn't wait any longer, so he had to come to the prince for help. "
The people watching were all surprised when they heard that Bai Ziye was not killed by Xie Lan. The Prime Minister turned black and said, "That's nonsense. So many people have seen what happened back then. What you are saying now is that even His Majesty was killed." Blinded?"
Prime Minister Bai is indeed a man who has been an official all his life. He grasped the key to the problem as soon as he opened his mouth and directly pushed the matter onto the emperor.
He wanted to use this to shut their mouths.
However, Tao Yaoyao was not afraid at all and continued, "The emperor is also a human being, and there are times when he makes misjudgments. Besides, wasn't the Bai family looking for someone to investigate this matter from beginning to end?
Your Majesty just read out the results. Does the Prime Minister think something is wrong and wants to take the blame on His Majesty?
Didn’t the Prime Minister claim to love this grandson the most? Now that you hear this news, shouldn't you ask who the murderer is and then avenge your grandson?
The prime minister's unhurried but angry attitude has made me suspect that you have actually known for a long time that the murderer is not King Dingbei..."
"Nonsense." The Prime Minister interrupted her, "The evidence on this matter is conclusive. Even now, I can still confront you in court."
The prime minister asked people to find witnesses from that year, and the servant said tremblingly, "Master, those people have died long ago."
Only then did the Prime Minister remember that after the incident ended, he was afraid of something going wrong, so he asked people to get rid of the witnesses.
He was so angry just now that he forgot about it for a while, but now that he heard the servant mention it, he realized it later.
Without the witness and the emperor still there, he did not believe that King Dingbei could defeat the emperor.
So Prime Minister Bai threatened to go into the palace to ask the emperor for an explanation. Tao Yaoyao and Xie Lan had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, so they pretended to be in trouble, and then followed Prime Minister Bai into the palace in a carriage.
Here, the emperor was asking the imperial doctor about the progress of poison poisoning. After learning that Tao Yaoyao left the palace, he immediately rushed to find him. When Eunuch Liu turned around and was about to go out to find someone, someone came in and reported, "Prime Minister Bai has entered the palace." Yes, I also brought King Dingbei and Miss Tao."
Ever since the entire Xie family was beheaded, Xie Lan didn't look good when he saw the Bai family. They had almost no contact in these years. What happened today? Two people who wanted to eat each other alive actually came to the imperial study together today?
Intuition told the emperor that there must be something wrong here.
"Call immediately."
Prime Minister Bai walked in the front. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt in the main hall and shouted injustice, asking the emperor to make the decision for his Bai family. The emperor was confused by him.
"Bai Aiqing, please tell me first what happened." The emperor glanced at Xie Lan as he spoke, with a cold look in his eyes. Xie Lan had long been used to this and just pretended not to see it.
Tao Yaoyao felt sorry for him.
It is not easy for Xie Lan to grow up to be as upright and upright as he is now with such a father who does not distinguish between right and wrong.
Prime Minister Bai told the whole story in an embellished way. After that, he crawled on the ground again, crying and begging His Majesty to make the decision for him.
The emperor frowned and looked at Xie Lan with dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Tao Yaoyao knelt on the ground and said, neither humble nor overbearing, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Bai said something wrong. It was not that we intentionally opposed the Bai family, but that Bai Ziye asked the prince to help him find the murderer. The prince had to do this. of.
Your Majesty, the prince has good intentions. If he had known that Prime Minister Bai was so ungrateful, the prince and I would definitely not have helped. "Tao Yaoyao said to Xie Lan, "Your Majesty, why don't people bury Bai Ziye's bones back?" It shouldn't take long to see Prime Minister Bai's appearance. When the time comes, let him go down and explain to his grandson in person. "
Tao Yaoyao's words were undoubtedly cursing Prime Minister Bai in public.
Bai Cheng's face suddenly changed, "You are so presumptuous. Is this how the Tao family taught you? You have no rules and no education."
"Prime Minister Bai has rules, so why do you want to confuse right and wrong? It's clear that the prince and I never said that we would make Bai Ziye uneasy, but you just opened your mouth and said that you are well-educated and have rules?
Doesn’t Prime Minister Bai understand the principle of not doing to others what you don’t want others to do to you? "
Tao Yaoyao really has no scruples now. What he says depends entirely on his mood. He can be happy as he pleases. He is about to die. Is it really important not to offend anyone?
I have to say, I felt a lot better after I had no rules.
"You...you..." Prime Minister Bai was so angry with her that she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Tao Yaoyao ignored it at all, "Your Majesty, we have evidence to prove that Bai Ziye's death has nothing to do with the prince."
The emperor glanced at her but said nothing.
Eunuch Liu asked someone to bring Bai Ziye's body in. Tao Yaoyao explained the real cause of Bai Ziye's death in front of everyone. The imperial physician stood aside and watched. Then the imperial physician told the emperor, "What Miss Tao said is true. This corpse is the real cause of death." The cause of death is really what Miss Tao said."
Even if the emperor did not participate in the investigation of this matter, he had seen all the evidence afterwards.
So many years after this incident, someone stood up and told him that the evidence he saw at the beginning was wrong, and that the person he wronged was his own son.
The emperor's expression immediately became wonderful.
Seeing this, Prime Minister Bai opened his mouth to explain, but Tao Yaoyao spoke first, "I heard that Mr. Huang, who did the autopsy back then, is now working in the Ministry of Punishments. It would be better to invite him to ask. Maybe the truth will be revealed."
