Chapter 32

After Zeng Xiaoxiao returned to the mansion, she discussed with Zeng Kaizhi and decided to sue the Imperial Court, that's right, it was an imperial petition.

People like Chu Jianguo really can't be dealt with by ordinary yamen.

If he hadn't thought that it might be Chu Jianguo who did it, and informed Mu Chuqian early, he would be a cold corpse now.

Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

the next day.

"Your Majesty, I have a note to play." In the imperial study room, Zeng Kaizhi knelt on the ground, performing the courtesies of a monarch and a minister.

The tense atmosphere, without any unnecessary sound, only deathly silence.

"Quasi-playing." After reviewing the memorial for a while, a full-bodied male voice sounded, with seriousness and majesty.

"Master Chu murdered the royal family, and the evidence is conclusive. I hope the emperor can restore the innocence of the minister's daughter." Zeng Kai's voice burst into tears, and his wide sleeves still beat the ground from time to time.

It looks like an old father who is tearing his heart and lungs, and has nowhere to ask for help, which is very distressing.

"I see. General Chu has already apologized to me just now. I think there must be a misunderstanding between you. It's better to shake hands and make peace. Anyway, your daughter is fine." The emperor said lightly, as if trying to Cover up Chu Jianguo's mistake.

"Can you shake hands and make peace without taking human life?" Before the emperor asked him to get up, Zeng Kaizhi shook his sleeves and stood up, his words were full of sarcasm.

The emperor looked at Zeng Kaizhi, his eyes were dazed, and he laughed again at random.

"How can you disregard human life? King Zhongyi, you must use accurate words." The emperor smiled and ordered the eunuch to serve Zeng Kai tea.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the tea." Zeng Kaizhi took the tea with a calm expression, he didn't drink it, but put the tea aside.

"You don't understand the rules more and more?" Seeing this, the emperor put down the memorial in his hand, and then said angrily.

"I dare not." Zeng Kaizhi was unmoved, and responded neither humble nor overbearing.

He knew that if he backed down at this moment, Chu Jianguo would become a cancerous tumor in the future, and he would still be an aboveboard one.

He didn't expect to be able to pull out this cancerous tumor, but no matter what, he had to make the other party fearful.

"Okay, you are my righteous brother anyway. How could I not be on your side." The emperor came over and asked Zeng Kaizhi to sit next to him, regardless of Zeng Kaizhi's willingness or not.

"Then help my younger brother to make the decision, and give justice to my daughter." Zeng Kaizhi's eyes softened a little, his attitude was not as tough as before, but he knelt down, and his tone was much calmer.

"All right, all right." The emperor helped Zeng Kaizhi up, and the two came to the side, looking like brothers and friends respecting each other.

"Go tell Chu Jianguo, I'd like to see how this bastard explains it." The emperor's eyes were dark and his tone was tough, completely different from just now.

The eunuch on the side took the order and hurriedly trotted outside.

"What are you going to do with Chu Jianguo? How about we kill him?" The emperor tilted his neck, picked up the teacup on the table and began to play with it, and glanced at Zeng Kaizhi from time to time.

"I don't dare to make decisions, I listen to the emperor." Zeng Kaizhi replied respectfully when he heard the emperor's words.

"That's good." The emperor stopped what he was doing, walked to the window, and enjoyed the scenery outside the window.

"My humble minister knocks on the emperor." Chu Jianguo came and was kneeling outside the door.

"Come in." Compared to Zeng Kaizhi, the emperor's voice sounded very serious.

When Chu Jianguo came in, he knelt on the ground without saying a word.

"General Chu, you are so courageous. How dare you murder the Princess of Yangshuo, even the royal family?" The emperor suddenly slapped the table and angrily reprimanded him, so startled that Zeng Kaizhi almost jumped up.

"I am wronged, Your Majesty, I have not." Chu Jianguo knelt down and yelled, pretending to know nothing.

"Don't pretend here, the witnesses are all here." The emperor asked the eunuch to bring the scarred man in.

The man with the scar was tied up and thrown on the ground, his face had been beaten so badly, his hair was disheveled, and there was a scab on his chest.

"King Zhongyi, you can interrogate, I am tired, I can just watch." The emperor yawned, rubbed his temples with his hands, leaned his elbows lightly on the table, propped his head, and picked up a book or so. Look through.

"Do you know him?" Zeng Kaizhi bowed his hands to the emperor, and started to ask questions without refusing.

"I know...I know." The man with the scar had been beaten and bruised all over his body, his voice couldn't stop shaking, and he didn't have the momentum he had before.

Chu Jianguo turned sideways slowly, looked up, down, left, and right, then he shook his head and said, "I don't know this person."

"Now that both sides insist on their own opinions, what should you do?" The emperor stood up, looking forward to the scarred man turning around and thinking.

"It's simple, as long as the emperor summons the parties and witnesses." Zeng Kaizhi said after a little thought.

"Pass!" The emperor shouted loudly.

"Princess Yangshuo, the eldest prince and second prince!" The eunuch's voice resounded throughout the palace, and there was an echo when he heard it carefully.

"Join the emperor, and see the father." Zeng Xiaoxiao and the two princes were waiting outside the hall, so they arrived in a short time.

"There was a discrepancy between their words, General Chu said he didn't know him." The emperor pointed to the two men, and then pointed to the man with the scar.

"I want to report to my father, my son and elder brother found out in the suburbs that this person had tied up the Princess of Yangshuo with evil intentions." Mu Chuqian pointed to the man with the scar, then bowed his head and said.

"I beg your majesty to investigate clearly! This doesn't mean that I know this person!" Chu Jianguo immediately defended himself when he heard Mu Chuqian's words.

"Your Majesty, there are other evidences." Seeing this, Zeng Kaizhi immediately said.

"Reporting to my father, I found out that the man with the scar on his face was traveling in a carriage from Chu Jianguo's mansion, and the driver was Chu Jianguo's slave." The First Prince added.

"Oh?" Hearing what the eldest prince said, the emperor nodded in satisfaction.

"Huang'er is becoming more and more mature and experienced in doing things." The sudden compliment made everyone present puzzled.

But they didn't care, but continued to distinguish.

"What else do you have to say? Chu Jianguo!" Zeng Kaizhi questioned Chu Jianguo who was wiping his sweat, his anger seemed to be hard to suppress.

"I really don't know him! Your majesty, you have to be the master of this humble minister. How can I harm the emperor's relatives if I am so loyal to you?" Chu Jianguo yelled that he was wronged. Wiping the emperor's trousers, he began to wipe his tears.

The emperor took his legs away from Chu Jianguo in disgust, and said with a smile: "I know your loyalty, don't be sad."

"It's just that the evidence of the two princes points to you now, so you must have an explanation?" The emperor squatted down, looked at Chu Jianguo and said.
