Chapter 409 Detained in the Mansion
  Gao Mingxuan in the palace has also heard about this matter, and now is a good time to get rid of this serious worry.

After getting dressed, Gao Mingxuan came to the main hall, where Feng Molin and Xiao Qingqing had been waiting for a long time.

Liu Yuzhao was the first to step forward and salute, accusing Feng Molin and Feng Molin of their crimes: "Your Majesty, today we searched a lot of weapons in Princess Beihuang's shop. According to the law, hiding weapons privately is a crime of treason, and they should be imprisoned. It’s hard for me to deal with these two people because of their high status in prison, so now I have to ask His Majesty to come and make a decision.”

Xiao Qingqing stared at Liu Yuzhao. Before they could speak, Liu Yuzhao would accuse them first.

Feng Molin was not worried, his expression was stern.

"Your Majesty's shop is indeed opened by us, but we just opened a ready-made clothing shop and did not make or keep weapons privately. As for the weapons, they were framed by others. I hope your Majesty will find out!" Xiao Qingqing saluted and explained the truth.

"Princess Beihuang said it's not a secret possession if it's not a private possession? When we arrived, your people were holding weapons. How do you explain this?" Liu Yuzhao snorted coldly, signaling the emperor not to believe it.

Gao Mingxuan had his own judgment in his mind, and his eyes fell on Feng Molin, wanting to hear what he had to say.

The weapons were also carried to the main hall, and they were all searched from the clothing shops.

When he saw those weapons, Gao Mingxuan's face darkened and he asked coldly: "These things were all found in your shop. How do you explain it?"

Xiao Qingqing knew very well that even if he were told that these weapons were not theirs, the emperor would never believe it. It would be difficult to clear away the suspicion now.

Just as she was racking her brains, Feng Molin on the side raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, from the material point of view, these weapons are materials that can only be used by the military, and cannot be used by civilian blacksmiths."

"The King of Beihuang serves in the military camp. If he is guarding and stealing, why not steal some materials for making weapons?" Liu Yuzhao snorted coldly.

"Since Mr. Liu said so, why do I need to steal materials? Why don't I just steal weapons?" Feng Molin asked with a sneer.

Liu Yuzhao was stunned and speechless for a moment. He could only accuse with shame and anger: "How do I know this? I should ask the prince himself. Who knows what you think."

Feng Molin didn't bother to argue with him, and explained in detail the source of materials and forging process of the weapons. Almost all of them were found in the military, and it was difficult to forge them privately outside.

"Your Majesty, the materials and forgings in the army are all recorded. Whether they are lost and when they were lost can be found out by checking. However, if it was lost only in the past two days, it would be too coincidental to appear in the princess's shop. But if the army The records are not lost, so how do you explain these weapons that should not have appeared? The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue seems to be in charge of this series of purchasing records. I am afraid that Mr. Liu is also to blame for the mistakes."

Feng Molin's eyes fell on Liu Yuzhao.

At this time, Liu Yuzhao's body trembled, and he looked at the emperor with an obviously panic expression and hurriedly saluted: "I hope your majesty will show you clearly, and I will never do such an inappropriate thing!"

Gao Mingxuan frowned and had a headache. If this matter continued like this, it would probably involve more people, and it would be even more difficult to punish Feng Molin.

But as an emperor, he cannot judge this matter arbitrarily, but there is currently no direct evidence to prove that the Beihuang King and his wife are actually secretly forging and hiding weapons.

Without waiting for Gao Mingxuan to speak, Feng Molin continued: "The matter has not been found out yet, but Mr. Liu has some personal conflicts with the princess, so he used this method to slander me. I don't know how your majesty should handle this matter." ?" Facing Feng Molin's aggressive questions, Gao Mingxuan's face became increasingly ugly.

Since the case involved weapons, the Minister of War happened to be in the main hall at this time. Faced with this situation, he said: "Your Majesty, it is not yet certain that this matter is the work of the Beihuang King and his wife. The sudden extra weapons are indeed needed." If we investigate carefully, we will not wrongly accuse a good person, but we must not let a bad person go. I suggest that it is better to temporarily detain the Beihuang King and his wife in the palace, and they are not allowed to enter or leave. During this period, we can investigate the matter carefully and give the common people An explanation.”

This matter has caused such a big fuss that it may be spread among the people in the capital. If this matter cannot be solved clearly, it may also arouse the dissatisfaction of the people.

For the time being, being detained is still equivalent to a prisoner. If the suspicion on him is not cleared for a day, he will bear the infamy for a day. Even if he is imprisoned in the palace and cannot come in or out, it will also affect his life.

Gao Haoran was immediately dissatisfied when he heard this result. He believed that Xiao Qingqing and his wife would never do such a treacherous thing. Someone must have framed them.

Just when he was about to stand up and intercede for the two of them, someone suddenly pulled his sleeve.

Gao Haoran looked at the Grand Master who had been silent all the time, and asked anxiously and silently, but the Grand Master just shook his head slightly to signal him not to act rashly.

Gao Mingxuan also thought carefully and felt that the Minister of War was right. His eyes fell on Feng Molin: "I wonder how the King of Beihuang views this matter?"

Xiao Qingqing looked at Feng Molin, she knew this was the best outcome at the moment.

"I agree to be detained in the mansion." Feng Molin did not refuse.

The matter ended here, Xiao Qingqing and Feng Molin were sent back to the mansion, but they were accompanied by the guards from the palace to look after the two of them.

On the other side, after Gao Haoran left the hall, he was worried about being unable to help Xiao Qingqing and the two. He looked dissatisfied at the Grand Master who had just blocked him and asked, "Grand Master, why did you stop me just now?"

"Alas, I know that the prince is eager to save people, but it seems from your majesty's attitude that he is determined to capture the Northern Wilderness King. This matter is just a trigger. No matter what the outcome is, your majesty will definitely take advantage of this. This is a matter of eradicating dissidents. If His Highness the Crown Prince had just stepped forward rashly, not only would he not be able to save the King of Beihuang and his wife, but he would also get into trouble. I am also doing this for His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The Grand Master sighed, seeing that Gao Haoran could not see the situation today, and had to make an analysis.

When Gao Haoran heard this, his anger surged to the surface instantly, and he could no longer suppress the accusation: "Prince, Prince, I have never seen such a useless prince like me. Now he can't even help the prince and princess. Talk, I’ve heard this so many times, and I don’t want to hear it anymore!”

Gao Haoran no longer wanted to hear this anymore, and turned around to find the emperor.

Seeing that something bad was going on, the grand master hurriedly chased and shouted after him, but this time Gao Haoran was determined to say nothing and did not want to listen to these people's words anymore.

At this time, Xiao Qingqing and Feng Molin began to pack things needed to go to the border in the house.

After the discussion between the two, it can be seen from the emperor's attitude that he will never keep them. It is better to take this opportunity to stay away from the capital, and some plans should be implemented.
