In the court, there was a lot of quarrel about the topic of "whether the tigers in Shangshu Mansion were released into the mountains or not?"
The great-uncle Zhao Lide, the Queen Mother's brother, was blushing angrily at this moment, pointing at Yu Xiheng with trembling fingers, and every word was as deep as tears, "Nonsense! Someone saw your home last month." That evil beast entered the house through the back door, you are obviously relying on His Majesty's protection to act boldly! You are talking nonsense without being reasonable!"
The person he accused didn't say anything. He still stood aside with a calm and gentle smile. Occasionally, he seemed to be kind, but in fact he replied sarcastically, just like now.
"My lord uncle is right, it's just as unreasonable as the Queen Mother who sometimes likes light colors and sometimes likes dark colors."
Zhao Lide's blood was boiling with anger. He pointed at Yu Xiheng, "You, you, you...!" You waited for a long time before saying, "You admitted it!"
Yu Xiheng bent his eyes.
If you don’t ask, I won’t tell. If you ask, I will be confused.
"Uncle Guo, what do you mean? I'm just making a metaphor. Don't get too excited. You'd better be more careful as you get older."
"Your Majesty! Look at him!" Zhao Lide had already discovered that he could not defeat him, so he began to put pressure on the emperor arbitrarily and unreasonably.
"After a country is injured like this by a beast, it must be severely punished, otherwise the royal family will have no prestige in the hearts of the people in the future!!"
The emperor rubbed his brows with a troubled expression on his face, "I can't be sure that the white tiger is the one from Shangshu Mansion. I will have someone investigate."
He thought that when the time came, he could just drag an unlucky tiger to take the blame.
How could Zhao Lide be willing? He looked ferocious and turned blue with anger. "At that time, so many people saw it was a white tiger, and the Queen Mother just happened to punish his wife, so he held a grudge and released the tiger to harm people! It is reasonable and well-founded. If Your Majesty does not punish him severely, Waiting for it, I will kneel down in the Jinluan Palace with everyone in the Chen family!"
At this moment, the Prime Minister, who was standing at the head of the civil service, stood up with an impeccable fake smile on his face, "Uncle Guo, when the white tiger was released into the forest that day, I was by the side and saw it with my own eyes. Don’t be too excited about this scene, there may be a misunderstanding.”
Then several officials stood up one after another, and upon closer inspection they were all the fathers of the children that Juan Juan had saved.
Even Mr. Feng, the most honest and honest person, stood up and said seriously that he had gone on an outing to see it.
Zhao Lide's eyes were bloodshot, and he was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe, "Three months ago it was December, and it was so cold that you couldn't go out for a walk!"
Mr. Feng was stunned for a moment. He was so thin-skinned that he immediately blushed, but he kept his mouth shut and said, "I just said it wrong, it was winter."
Zhao Lide had veins popping out on his forehead, his chest was churning, and he said a few good words on his face. He remembered these people!
How could the other descendants of the Zhao family watch their head of the family suffer such bullying?
Then there was a heated argument, and the Zhao family roared heart-breakingly. In the end, the quarrel got louder and louder. When they couldn't stand it anymore, the emperor had a headache and stopped. If the quarrel continued, the Jinluan Palace would turn into a vegetable market!
He asked a few people to stay and follow him to the imperial study, while the rest all left without incident.
When he walked out of the Jinluan Palace, the Prime Minister stood beside him and whispered, "I'll wait for you at the gate of the palace."
He said this because he knew that the people coming from the Zhao family were evil, and he was waiting at the palace gate to be able to come in and control the situation as soon as possible if something happened.
However, Yu Xiheng politely declined his offer.
The Zhao family members walked together with Wen Ruoqi in twos and threes. When they saw that Yu Xiheng was single, they couldn't hide their sarcasm.
But Wen Ruoqi was still a little scared after all. He didn't say a word, but kept silently observing Yu Xiheng's reaction.
As if feeling that he had no backup plan, Wen Ruoqi came up to him and lowered his voice and said, "I used to think you were a smart person."
Yu Xiheng was silent, and he continued, with a mocking tone, "But being angry and looking for a beauty is what a fool does. After all, you are smart and confused for a while. You probably haven't tasted the taste of defeat. Take good care of yourself." Experience it."
After Wen Ruoqi finished speaking, he distanced himself from him and followed Zhao Lide. Behind Zhao Lide was another person who was walking in vain. With the support of the palace servant, his figure was blocked tightly, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Can't he recognize it if he blocks it? Zhao Lide is over fifty after all, and he is already half buried in the soil. Why is he so naive? Who else could that person be if he wasn't Shi Liang, whose tongue was cut out by him yesterday?
Seeing the confident expressions of this group of people, Yu Xiheng's expression was as calm as a shadow, and his whole body was as graceful as jade.
The other few people were thinking: Pretend, keep pretending, see how long you can keep pretending!
Soon they discovered that Yu Xiheng quietly quickened his pace and moved farther away from them.
Wen Ruoqi's mouth revealed a sinister smile, and there was a sense of pleasure in finally becoming the winner in his eyes.
In the Imperial Study Room——
The Zhao family members stood together in groups, and Yu Xiheng was alone, looking a little lonely.
Zhao Lide was finally relieved of the depression he had suffered in the court. He glanced sideways at Yu Xiheng with mocking eyes: No one will speak for you now. Let’s see how crazy you are later!
Yu Xiheng did not squint or move his eyes. Zhao Lide seemed much more anxious than his client. Before the emperor could sit still, he said sadly, "Your Majesty--" which shocked His Majesty's heart.
"I want to report this! Yu Xiheng is cruel and cruel with no law! He killed his colleagues in broad daylight! Now there are both witnesses and physical evidence!"
He waved his hand, and immediately one of the Zhao family members opened the small box they were holding and handed it to the emperor to see. What was inside was Shi Liang's tongue.
In order to restore the tragic situation at that time, Zhao Lide deliberately did not let anyone clean it. The dripping blood dried into scabs, showing a dark red color.
The emperor frowned, a little disgusted but couldn't say directly, "Get away, stay away from me."
The man behind Zhao Lide was revealed at this time. Shi Liang, whom he had not seen for only a day, seemed to be twenty years older. He had a heavy and lifeless air about him, and his eyes were dull as he allowed others to pull him to the front of the palace.
"Your Majesty, look!" Someone opened Shi Liang's mouth, and the contents inside were revealed. It was empty, and there was a strong smell of medicine in his mouth, which looked like black medicinal powder soaked with saliva.
The emperor's face was gloomy and there was no sign of happiness or anger. He was thinking that if this old guy hadn't been dragging him here and there, so many things wouldn't have happened at all.
Zhao Lide pointed at the man who had not spoken a word from beginning to end, curled his lips coldly, and said with a sharp and mocking expression on his wrinkled face, "Please plead guilty."
