Chapter 12
Because of this accident, the early court did not succeed.

A dense group of courtiers knelt in the emperor's Chengqian Palace.

Wei Xingzhi stood at the door, straightened his clothes, and put away the cynical smile on his face.With his right hand still under the cover of his sleeve, he pinched his thigh fiercely, causing his eyes to turn red.

"Master Wei, please." Qi Yu stood beside Wei Xingzhi, bent over and stretched out a hand inward.

Wei Xingzhi stepped over the threshold with one foot, and the atmosphere in the hall was silent and strange. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on both sides, and Wan Qiqian sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face. The old man of color is Cheng Taifu, the minister of the humerus.

In his arms was a girl with a pale complexion, blood dripping from her neck, and blood-stained bright yellow clothes.

Seeing the girl, Wei Xingzhi's reddish pupils shrank suddenly.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that the girl she met on the street yesterday would actually appear in front of her in such a way today.

She suppressed the frustration in her heart, and out of the corner of her eye, she fell on the two women kneeling beside Cheng Taifu, one of them was wearing a woman's hair in a bun and wearing a royal uniform, with a heartbroken expression, obviously it was Cheng Taifu's first wife, Mrs. Chen.

And another...

Just look at the back view, kneeling straight and upright, with long hair reaching to the waist, and a white dress spread messily on the floor, and looking at the side face, the nose is high and straight, the skin is like cream, no makeup is applied, and the tears on the face are even more pitiful, Miserable and broken, at this moment her eye circles were red, but her thin lips were tightly pursed so as not to lose her dignity in front of the imperial court.

It should be Cheng Taifu's eldest daughter, Nan Xiao's number one beauty, Cheng Wansu.

Wei Xingzhi took a deep breath, and pinched the base of her thigh with her thumb and index finger again, causing the pain at the end of her eyes to become red and swollen.

"Putong——" His knees fell to the ground, Wei Xingzhi choked up and said, "I bow to Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."

Judging from her experience in dealing with the professor many times, if she pretends to be pitiful, the professor will definitely soften her heart.Now she has to stabilize the moody emperor first!

Ever since she came in, Wan Chengqian has looked straight at her, and when he saw her red eyes, his heart tightened inexplicably.This kind of thing should scare her, after all, she was just an ordinary student of history in the past.

"Wei Qing, does the death of Cheng Taifu's daughter have anything to do with you?"

Although I know that she definitely did not do it, but the process that should be followed still needs to be followed.

Before Wei Xingzhi could open his mouth, Cheng Taifu's first wife, Mrs. Chen, couldn't help crying, "Is your majesty trying to favor her? If she said something that had nothing to do with my little daughter's death, would your majesty blindly trust her?" ?”

Although she obeyed the imperial order, her well-maintained face was very haggard at the moment. She turned her head and looked at Wei Xingzhi hatefully, and said sharply and hoarsely, "Wei Xingzhi, what kind of grudge does our Cheng family have with you? To win His Majesty's favor, you must treat our Cheng family like this!"

"My eldest daughter and Your Majesty's childhood sweetheart, are in love with each other, and you have repeatedly blocked it. My younger daughter is just impulsive and naughty. She went to Wei Mansion and ran into you, and you are going to kill me like this."

"What do you have, come at me, don't hurt my child." Chen looked at the lifeless Cheng Qianqian, and cried out hoarsely, causing everyone present to tremble.

Wei Xingzhi raised his head and met Chen's angry eyes. She seemed to be choked and unable to utter a single syllable.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.

Mrs. Chen cried into Cheng Wansu's arms, "Yesterday, yesterday, Qianqian asked the mother in the mansion for advice, and wanted to make some snacks with her own hands, and send them to you as an apology...My Qianqian, she has not yet reached Ji, it's all my fault that I will give you some advice. She was raised too naively, if she didn't provoke you, wouldn't she suffer such bad luck... I would rather exchange my life for my son's. "

"Mother, Your Majesty hasn't come to a conclusion yet. Maybe, maybe it's not Mr. Wei..." It was Cheng Wansu who was supporting Mrs. Chen who spoke.

Wei Xingzhi was hearing Cheng Wansu speak for the first time.

Her voice was like a peach blossom spring breeze, soft and intoxicating, no wonder the common people regarded her as the number one beauty of Nanxiao, and was insisted by all officials as the best candidate for empress.

Chen bit her lower lip, tears soaked the clothes on Cheng Wansu's shoulders, "That's my daughter, Susu, that's my mother's daughter, why don't you be anxious and sad when you call me my mother, Qianqian She's only 13 years old."

Cheng Wansu raised her head, and looked at Wan Tuqian sincerely with red eyes, "Your Majesty, I beg you to uphold justice for my mother and my little sister."

Wei Xingzhi lowered his eyes, his eyes were red, "It's not me." She raised her head, and tears fell down her cheeks, "Your Majesty, I and Miss Cheng fell in love at first sight, how could I send someone to kill her? Miss Cheng is so innocent and lovely , I didn’t do too much to the minister, why did the minister want her life!"

Cheng Wansu and all the courtiers froze.

Doesn't it mean that Wei Xingzhi of the Wei family in Danyang is a rascal, a playboy, and even stronger than a man?

Why are you crying more sadly than them now.

Wei Xingzhi choked with sobs, with a look of enduring the pain, "Besides, even if the second girl Cheng really offended the minister, the second girl Cheng has already apologized to the minister. As the pillar of the court, how can I have a relationship with a little girl? Think about it, if His Majesty and Cheng Taifu don't believe it, I have evidence."

As she spoke, she took out the note that Cheng Qianqian put in the food box from her cuff, and held it up above her head, "Please have a look, Your Majesty."

Wan Qiqian looked at Wei Xingzhi with complicated eyes, and raised his hand.

Li Duobao stepped forward to pick up the note in Wei Xingzhi's hand and presented it to Wan Chengqian.

Wan Chengqian glanced at it, and then asked Li Duobao to show Cheng Taifu's family, "But Cheng Qianqian's handwriting?"

Cheng Taifu spread out the note and took a look, almost sure at a glance that it was his daughter's handwriting. He whispered, "It's the little girl's handwriting. But this does not prove that Wei Xingzhi is not the murderer who killed the minister's daughter."

Chen continued to cry and said in a cold voice, "Yes. Who doesn't know that you, Wei Xingzhi, will report your flaws. You burned the village in Danyang City, burned dozens of people to death, and beat the magistrate's son angrily in the street. The magistrate's son couldn't get out of bed anymore. He also injured the doctors who practiced medicine, and even ordered the closure of other people's pharmacies. Qianqian punished you to kneel in the ancestral hall, and it is impossible for you to feel resentful."

"Nonsense!" Wei Xingzhi raised his head abruptly, with crystal tears hanging from the end of his eyes.

Wan Qi looked at Wei Xingzhi with modest eyes.

Wei Xingzhi sniffed and straightened his spine, "Your Majesty, this is purely a rumor!"

She didn't dare to say anything else, but for these three things, what the original owner did was really right.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the village was set on fire was that three years ago, an epidemic occurred in a small village in Danyang, and it spread so fast that the official documents from the imperial court were delayed, so the officials had no choice but to take risks. "

"Beating the magistrate's son angrily was because the magistrate's son at that time raped women and children and robbed civilian women. No one dared to take care of him. I admit that I acted a little impulsively. I should kill him that day, not let him get out of bed. "

"As for injuring the doctor, His Majesty is even more unaware. The doctor deliberately diagnosed the poor people with serious diseases, and then used this to make the people buy expensive medicinal materials from his own pharmacy. After many trials, I finally confirmed that he was a liar. I just beat him up and closed his pharmacy."

"The people of Danyang can all testify to these, please learn from your Majesty."

It's obviously a good thing, but how did it change when it was spread out?
