Li Yong frowned slightly, what happened tonight was beyond his expectation.
Looking at the strange man who was escorted in front of him by the imperial army, Li Yong had realized that this man must be related to the princess.
But he still had the patience to ask.
"Brother Imperial, who is this person?"
This is not only Li Yong's question, but also the common doubt in the hearts of everyone present.
Li Qian smiled and said nothing. Today's game was a sure win.
Lin Taibao bowed his hands and explained in a sonorous voice: "His Royal Highness, this person's name is Wei Xiao."
"She is one of the top killers on the Tianbang list. She has been hunting down Li Xiaolan for these years, which is my princess of Daliang who was left among the people."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Princess Yi Zhu was an earth-shattering event, enough to cause an uproar among the people and the court.
At this time, not to mention Li Yong and Princess Qiyang, even the officials present were shocked when they learned that the princess had been being hunted.
For a time, angry shouts came and went.
"The brave thief dared to do harm to the princess. Why don't you quickly explain who instigated you!"
"Tianbang Killer? These bastards should issue an official arrest warrant and catch them all!"
"You even dare to chase me, Princess Daliang. You really don't know how to live or die."
"You still haven't revealed who was behind the scenes!"
Although everyone roared at Wei Xiao, their eyes glanced at Qin Feng intentionally or unintentionally, as if to imply that this matter was inseparable from Qin Feng.
Qin Feng had no excuse and had no way to defend himself.
Once Li Xiaolan's identity was revealed, Qin Feng couldn't clean it up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Even if Qin Feng was not the instigator behind the scenes, and he tried his best to protect Li Xiaolan, just hiding the identity of the princess and not reporting the fact was not a trivial matter.
Facing the scolding from everyone, Wei Xiao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"hehe."
"We, Wei Xiao, have become a prisoner. We will never beg for mercy, let alone defend ourselves."
"But you so-called officials, the pillars of the country, are very hypocritical."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Taibao's eyes sharpened.
"How dare you speak so loudly even when you are about to die!"
"It seems like this guy's spirit hasn't been sharpened yet. Why are he still dazed?"
The Imperial Guard did not hesitate at all, and directly took off the sword from his waist without taking it out of its sheath. He held the scabbard and stabbed Wei Xiao hard in the back.
The Forbidden Army's attack position was extremely tricky, specializing in the lumbar spine.
Wei Xiao collapsed on the ground, his whole body trembling violently, and his face was as pale as paper.
But there was no fear in his eyes. On the contrary, he was even more resentful.
"The person who is chasing Li Xiaolan is definitely not Qin Feng, but someone from the court. As for who it is, Lin Taibao, Lord Shangshu, you know better than me."
Lin Taibao and the Minister of Punishment looked livid.
Unexpectedly, Wei Xiao would dare to bite back when he was about to die.
Just when Lin Taibao was about to give an order to punish Wei Xiao, Qin Feng suddenly came to Wei Xiao.
Seeing Qin Feng standing in the way, Lin Taibao looked evil and shouted angrily: "Qin Feng, are you trying to protect this traitor?"
Qin Feng stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at Wei Xiao who was covered in scars and miserable, Yun Danfeng said softly.
"Fortunately, Taibao Lin and the Minister of Punishment are close friends, but they don't even know how to interrogate. They only know how to use torture."
"If Wei Xiao is beaten until he can't talk, will this case become a solid case? All he needs to do is frame it wantonly and suppress his political opponents?"
Facing Qin Feng's doubts, Lin Taibao's heart sank. It was undeniable that he had this plan.
As long as the witness arrives, it doesn't matter what the witness said.
And in order to prevent Wei Xiao from biting randomly, it is even more necessary to seal his mouth.
Unfortunately, after being exposed by Qin Feng, Lin Taibao had to change the topic: "I think the person who deliberately framed me is the Marquis of Qin!"
Qin Feng was too lazy to waste words with Lin Taibao.
Looking at the embarrassed Wei Xiao, Qin Feng couldn't help but be curious: "With your skills, unless Master Shanyin takes action himself, who can take you?"
"Could it be that he was betrayed by his employer?"
These words not only pierced Wei Xiao's heart, but also made Lin Taibao and the Minister of Punishment turn pale.
Qin Feng saw everyone's reaction, but he didn't criticize it.
Just looking at Wei Xiao, seeing the famous top killer in the world in front of him now ending up in this situation, he couldn't help but sigh.
Wei Xiao's eyes flashed with loneliness: "This matter has nothing to do with you. I have ended up in the situation I am in today, and I don't blame anyone."
Qin Feng did not force anything, shrugged, and glanced at the ministers around him.
It seems to be an understatement, but there is actually something behind the words: "Since the Taibao Master wants to dig out the mastermind behind the scenes, he should give Wei Xiao a chance to speak, right?"
"The whole process was all done by the Taibao Lord, which is inappropriate."
Qin Feng slowly turned around and his eyes fell on Wei Xiao again: "Wei Xiao, you are unpardonable in chasing the princess."
"But if you can reveal the behind-the-scenes instructions and atone for your sins, you might still be able to keep the whole body."
"Now that the matter has come to this, why do you need to protect the people behind you anymore?"
Lin Taibao's heart trembled when he saw Qin Feng actually taking the initiative to question the person behind the scenes.
He originally planned to take this opportunity to let Wei Xiao frame Qin Feng as the instigator behind the scenes, and bring down Qin Feng in one go, leaving no room for him to stand up.
Who would have thought that Wei Xiao would bite back!
At this point, it is tantamount to self-defeating.
If Wei Xiao really reveals the person behind the scenes, it will definitely shake the entire Liang Dynasty, and everyone involved will die!
Before Wei Xiao could speak, Lin Taibao quickly interrupted: "Qin Feng, you are probably colluding with Wei Xiao!"
The Minister of Justice also quickly stood up and scolded: "I think you are clearly taking the opportunity to hint. From your conversation with Wei Xiao, it can be seen that you two have known each other for a long time!"
Facing the two men's blows, Qin Feng smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously.
"Wei Xiao was captured by two adults and was detained by them all the time."
"Even if there is true collusion, the two adults have a better chance."
Qin Feng ignored the angry glares of Lin Taibao and the Minister of Punishment and looked at Wei Xiao.
"With your skills, if you really wanted to kill Li Xiaolan, you would have succeeded long ago. It shows that you can't do it at all."
"And now, the mastermind behind the scenes has directly leaked Li Xiaolan's identity, with the purpose of calling Li Xiaolan back to Beijing."
"After Li Xiaolan returns to Beijing, it will be extremely dangerous. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a narrow escape from death."
"If you really have Li Xiaolan in your heart, you should make the right choice!"
Wei Xiao fell silent.
His relationship with Li Xiaolan has always been complicated. They are both enemies and masters.
After getting along for a long time, Wei Xiao even developed a slight affection for Li Xiaolan.
It is precisely because of this that Wei Xiao spared Li Xiaolan several times, and even secretly helped Li Xiaolan when he was in danger.
Now, the mastermind behind the scenes not only betrayed Wei Xiao, but also wanted Li Xiaolan's life!
