Chapter 123 Sophistry
"Zhu Aiqing, please get up," Ning Zhao said, "If you have anything to say, please tell me."

However, Zhu Li refused to get up, and just said with tears: "My little girl took refuge before. Everyone said that she was angry because of her quarrel with Mrs. Weichen. Although Weichen was heartbroken, he thought that she was so ignorant and did not cherish his own life. He didn't care about his parents' relationship, and was willing to put his parents in rumors. Because of these thoughts, Wei Chen actually resented his daughter, thinking that the relationship between father and daughter was shallow. If she really died because of this, she would only I thought I had raised this daughter for nothing."

"Thanks to the kindness of the imperial concubine, she gave the magical medicine given by Your Majesty to my little girl, so my little girl has one life."

"My little girl woke up today and burst into tears."

"It turns out that this beast, Yang Hongcheng, actually insulted her while she was picking flowers! Poor Xiaohuan, the maid who followed her, tried her best to protect her master, but she couldn't escape the fate of being raped and killed by this beast!"

"Wei Chen is a middle-aged man, so he only has this girl. He loves her like a treasure and regards her as his life. Even now, he doesn't want her to get married. He just wants to find a wife for her and keep her at home."

"Wei Chen is a soft-spoken person, so he doesn't dare to confront King Annan head-on! It's just a matter of my daughter. If Wei Chen is afraid of the power of the palace and doesn't care about it, Wei Chen will be a father in vain!"

Zhu Li's face was filled with tears. As he spoke, he kowtowed. At this time, his head and face were covered with blood. The blood and tears rolled down together, and everyone present was moved.

"Nonsense!" King Annan said angrily.

"What kind of grudge does Wei Chen have against the prince? Is it worth risking the reputation of his beloved daughter to frame Yang Hongcheng?!" Zhu Li suddenly stood up, looking a little dazed. Wang Defu hurriedly went to help him, but he didn't touch him yet. Zhu Li unexpectedly surprised everyone and rushed towards Yang Hongcheng.

Yang Hongchen was beaten violently, several ribs were broken, and his movement was restricted; moreover, no one expected that Zhu Li, a civil servant, would suddenly become violent.

He bumped into Yang Hongcheng, and Yang Hongcheng was knocked to the ground.

Zhu Li took the opportunity to sit astride Yang Hongcheng, his eyes were red, and he grabbed Yang Hongcheng's neck like crazy.

"Daughter, my father is incompetent, so I can only avenge you like this!" Zhu Li roared angrily, and actually held down the struggling Yang Hongcheng.

"Pull him down yet!"

After all, King Annan was someone who had been on the battlefield. He reacted quickly and stepped forward immediately, kicking Zhu Li over.

However, Zhu Li probably wanted to die together, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, but he still didn't let go.

King Annan kicked him again. Zhu Li was in unbearable pain and couldn't help but lose his strength.

King Annan took the opportunity to help his son up. Seeing him coughing so hard that he almost lost his breath, he looked at Zhu Li and wished he could kill him on the spot. However, Zhu Li was an official of the court, so he could not do it in front of the dog emperor. Kill him.

A group of people rushed up and pulled the extremely excited Zhu Li down.

"Presumptuous!" Yu Xing said angrily, "Are you allowed to act so nonsense in front of His Majesty?"

"Master Zhu, you are so confused," Shang Lin also said, "Your Majesty is here, can't he make the decision for you? Why are you like this?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty," Zhu Li's face was like gold paper. King Annan's flying feet just now did not spare any effort, fearing that he might have hurt his internal organs. He gasped violently and closed his eyes in pain, but he still insisted on brushing away everyone's eyes. Holding his hands, he insisted on kneeling in front of Ning Zhao and showed a sad smile, "I will definitely make the decision for Weichen. But Weichen is a father. Facing the murderer who harmed my daughter, if he doesn't have the slightest bit of blood, what kind of father can he be? ?”

"Zhu Aiqing, stop talking," Ning Zhao sighed, "Zhang Quan, why don't you go and show Zhu Aiqing quickly!" Thanks to King Annan's insistence on calling the imperial doctor, Zhang Quan was still there, which was convenient for Zhu Li. Look at the injury.

Zhu Li endured the pain, took out something from his arms, and presented it in his hand: "Yang Hongcheng insulted my daughter, but she refused to obey. During the resistance, she pulled this jade pendant from him, which is enough to prove his identity."

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

Zhu Li kowtowed heavily.

Wang Defu took the jade pendant from his hand and respectfully presented it to Ning Zhao.

King Annan saw the jade pendant from a distance, and his expression suddenly changed.

He didn't need to look carefully to know that jade pendant - every one of his children, whether male or female or concubine, had a similar jade pendant, with the emblem of the Annan Palace and the child's nickname engraved on it.

Rich families have always had the habit of carving jade pendants with names as identification, and King Annan was no exception.

Since it is a jade pendant that can represent status, it must be extremely valuable and cannot be imitated.

King Annan knew with just one glance that it was really Yang Hongcheng's jade pendant.

"You evil son!" King Annan gritted his teeth and slapped Yang Hongcheng in the face.

His hand was so strong that before Yang Hongcheng could react, he spit out a mouthful of blood with one of his front teeth.

"Quinzi has committed a serious crime. I beg your majesty to spare his life for the sake of my hard work in guarding the southwest for many years!" King Annan gritted his teeth and knelt down.

"Master Zhang, there is no need to diagnose and treat me," Zhu Li and Zhang Quan cupped their hands, but they still couldn't kneel down. "If we can't see the culprit who killed my daughter, and I have no face to face my wife and daughter, it's better to die in front of my enemies!"

"How dare you threaten His Majesty!" Yang Hongcheng was afraid that he would not die quickly enough, so he wiped the blood from his mouth and still managed to make a sound.

King Annan began to regret, why he had to ask the imperial doctor to come over and save this idiot!
"Lord Zhu," King Annan cupped his hands and said, "This matter is all Quan Zi's fault. I was not strict in teaching my son, and I have no shame in it. This has caused today's disaster. It is also my fault."

"It's not a pity for this beast to die, but," King Annan sighed, "how can he apologize to Miss Zhu if he dies? He made a huge mistake, so wouldn't it be cheap to die so easily? Why didn't Master Zhu save his life? Is he here to compensate the young lady? This will prevent her from tarnishing her reputation. In the future, if the young lady wants to be beaten, scolded, killed or chopped, that is a matter between the two of them, and I will have no objection!"

All the civil servants present were filled with emotion - look, look, who said Wufu was reckless?King Annan was very good at sophistry, and he was talented in both civil and military affairs. Seeing the shameless appearance of this eloquent person, they felt ashamed.

Zhu Li opened his eyes even more, his chest heaved violently, and he pointed at King Annan, almost fainting: "You...you..."

"Master Zhu, please don't get excited." King Annan reacted quickly and stepped forward to hold Zhu Li's hand, as if two elders were really talking about getting married. We can handle family matters privately, so why bother making everyone watch? Children are thin-skinned and may not be able to withstand the jokes."
