All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 249 Bite Out of the Xie Family
If someone asked this question, the second choice would not be a threat to Xiao Yuanfeng at all.

Although their Xiao family has only one hundred thousand soldiers and horses in the territory of Yunjiang, it is not worth mentioning to the million-strong army of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But many of these soldiers were from Yunjiang.

It has only been six years since Yunjiang surrendered to Da Zhou, and it has always been under the management of Yun Hongshan and the Xiao family.

The Xiao family has always had prestige in Yunjiang, if the Great Zhou wanted to use the Xiao family to attack, it would also depend on how the soldiers and common people in Yunjiang would react.

The current emperor of Da Zhou has ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety since he ascended the throne.

Ordinary people simply don't have the ability to let the Emperor of Zhou move the Xiao family.

But it's just that Shen Lingxi's identity is the princess.

When Zhou and Yun went to war, Prince Chu Yan was only 14 years old, and he was already the commander-in-chief of the army.

After Da Zhou conquered Yun Kingdom, the first emperor even left Chu Yan to sit in Yunjiang for a year before returning to the court.

Xiao Yuanfeng thought again about what Chu Yan had said to her before the opening of the hall: "I have ordered the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo to stand by, and the princess should know that there are not many soldiers left in Yunjiang under Brother Ling."

Does she have a choice?

No.

Xiao Yuanfeng stretched out his hand, and pushed Yun Hongshan's body hard.

"Well, you Yun Hongshan, if you want my life, then I will let you have no peace after death!"

Shen Lingxi knew Xiao Yuanfeng's choice without asking any further questions.

Controlling Yun Hongshan's body, she took a few steps back, and the hand that was strangling Xiao Yuanfeng's neck suddenly let go.

"His Royal Highness, Wang Zhifu..."

Xiao Yuanfeng's hairpin was in disarray, and he staggered towards the courtroom, "I want to sue Yun Hongshan. Ten years ago, I ordered Wuerda, one of my staff, to use Zhu Youshu to kill Empress You'an. Please also ask Your Highness and the magistrate to investigate!"

The words she said in a hoarse voice were like thunder on the ground, causing the crowd to explode in an instant.

"What? Queen You'an didn't commit suicide, but the King of Yunjiang sent someone to kill her?"

"Ah... Ten years ago? Ten years ago, the Great Zhou had not yet fought against the Kingdom of Yun. Why did the king of Yunjiang kill the first concubine who lived in the East Palace?"

"Didn't that Princess Xiao just say that Yun Hongshan abducted Xie Zhangting to go to Yunguo as a foreign room, Xie Zhangting was killed by Xie Wenlang, and the first concubine was Xie Zhangting's cousin... It seems that the Yun family and the Xie family were ten years ago , it is already entangled."

The focus of everyone's discussions was all on the word "love".

Obviously, it is far from the truth of Xie Zhanghua's death.

However, these are not important at the moment.

As long as the matter of Xie Zhanghua's "suicide" can be put on the bright side, let the embroidery envoy take over and investigate.

Only those conspiracies hidden in the dark have a chance to reveal the truth.

This is the real purpose of everything Shen Lingxi did today.

The ghost of Yun Hongshan was completely dazed when he saw this bizarre transformation.

"I, I, I didn't!" He was so anxious that he circled around Shen Lingxi, "Crown Princess, you know, I didn't order Uerda to kill Queen You'an! I have a lot of admiration for Zhang Ting, Knowing the relationship between her and Queen Youan, how could you send someone to kill her!"

"Crown Princess, you must clarify for me. Although I approached Zhang Ting because of the Xie family at the beginning, I am sincere to Zhang Ting, and I will not easily offend the Xie family!"

Shen Lingxi glanced at him indifferently, controlled his body, and followed Xiao Yuanfeng towards the head.

Prefect Wang stood up in fright.

"What, what? You, Queen You'an?!"

Wang Zhifu subconsciously looked at Chu Yan——

Chu Yan lifted his cold eyes slightly, and glanced at him very lightly.

With just one glance, Wang Zhifu immediately understood what he should do.

He slammed the gavel down, he didn't even bother to sit down, and said to Xiao Yuanfeng: "Xiao Shi, what you said is related to the reputation of Empress You'an, if there are any falsehoods..."

"Whether it's true or not, the body of Yun Hongshan's resurgence is here, your lord will know at the first trial!" Xiao Yuanfeng hurriedly said.

Wang Zhifu couldn't help but shudder at the thought of interrogating the corpse.

He looked at Yun Hongshan's body, "King Yunjiang, is what Xiao said the truth?"

"The man was indeed killed by Wuerda." Yun Hongshan's corpse said in a hoarse voice: "The person who can instruct Wuerda is not this king. This Wuerda was recommended by the Xiao family to the king's staff back then. The relationship is close, apart from the Xiao family, even this king can't drive him at will. Therefore, the person who instructs Uerda must be the Xiao family."

Xiao Yuanfeng felt a "thump" in his heart, and hurriedly clarified, "Prefect Mingjian, although Wuerda was recommended by the Xiao family to the prince, he and the Xiao family just met by chance. Ten years ago, the Xiao family had no conflict of interest with Empress You'an at all. How could you risk your life to kill Queen You'an?"

"On the contrary, it was Yun Hongshan who came to Dazhou to seek help in order to overthrow Emperor Li. If not, he would not have known Xie Zhangting..."

"Since this king wants to seek help, it's even more impossible to send someone to kill Queen You'an, otherwise, wouldn't it be revenge?" Yun Hongshan's body also clarified.

"Then, that's the Xie family!" Xiao Yuanfeng said again in a hurry.

At this point, if she can't get rid of this pot in time and implicate the Xiao family, then it will be really doomed.

She racked her brains to gather everything she knew about Urda:
"Wurda was originally from Da Zhou, and this name is just his pseudonym. He knows Da Zhou well, and Xie Zhangting was the one who sent the news to Xie's family and asked Xie Wenlang to go to Tongwuguan to kill him."

"Perhaps Xie Wenlang was afraid that Queen You'an would know the truth, so Wu Erda killed the queen. I don't know. In short, it is absolutely impossible for our Xiao family to do it."

The two couples died for the rest of their lives, and they were jealous when they met each other.

At this moment, they sang together again, biting the Xie family out.

Yun Hongshan's corpse stopped talking.

Prefect Wang snapped another shot of the gavel, and secretly glanced at Chu Yan who had been silent all along.

Seeing Chu Yan nod to him invisibly, Wang Zhifu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"In the case of Empress You'an, I will invite the emperor and send someone to investigate it." Wang Zhifu looked at Xiao Yuanfeng: "Xiao Shi, the king of Yunjiang accused you of murdering your own husband, having an affair with others, and seeking to seize the title. Plead guilty?"

If it was just now, Xiao Yuanfeng would not plead guilty no matter what.

But at this moment, since she knew that today's courtroom was a trap set up by the prince and the princess.

The life or death of the Xiao family is all in the prince's mind.

For the sake of the Xiao family, how dare she continue to argue.

However, only these two crimes were exposed, and it was enough to kill her alone.

"I, I believe..." Xiao Yuanfeng said tremblingly: "I was dissatisfied after learning that Yun Hongshan wrote a letter to abolish the crown prince, and also heard that the emperor was about to bestow a marriage to the crown prince, so I calculated the time and killed him... Yun Chao is indeed not of Yun Hongshan's blood, I admit to all these crimes."

Seeing this, the souls of Yun Hongshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For him, although the process was a little bit twists and turns, he was finally able to bring this poisonous woman to justice, and he was able to fulfill his wish.

He winked at Shen Lingxi, bowed to Wang Zhifu, and signaled that he had something to say.

Shen Lingxi was silent for a few breaths, then manipulated his body and made the same movements.

Yun Hongshan: "I also ask the magistrate Wang to report the case of Xie Zhangting's tragic death, and ask the emperor to investigate it in detail."

"Ten years ago, Xie Zhangting was kidnapped by me to Yunguo and forced to be a concubine. I have always felt guilty towards her. Today, I found out that she was tricked back to Tongwuguan by Xiao Yuanfeng's design, and was killed by Xie Wenlang."

"Uerda took advantage of her death to poison and kill Empress You'an."

"I am ashamed of Zhang Ting in this life, I only hope that she can get her justice cleared and reincarnate as soon as possible..."
