Chapter 150 What an irony!

"Master, Master is too worried."

Faced with everyone's doubtful eyes, Pingyang Hou swallowed nervously, his eyes wandering.

"I just don't want to be misunderstood by the emperor and my colleagues, so I want to explain."

No one present was a fool. Seeing his expression, everyone understood.

For a moment, everyone looked at him with more or less disdain in their eyes.

At this time, a young eunuch at the door reported loudly, "Your Majesty, Aunt Jade from the Queen's Palace is here."

After taking a look at the old master who looked like he was in control, Emperor Qi Xuan raised his frivolous eyebrows.

Is this also the work of the Taifu?

"Xuan!"

Aunt Jade walked into the hall with two timid concubines.

If Chu Yaoyao saw them, she would definitely recognize them. They were two of the three people who were scared to death by him that night.

"Your Majesty, there were rumors about Princess Qiyuan in the harem a few nights ago. The Queen has investigated it thoroughly and specially ordered the servants to bring people here."

The two concubines knelt on the ground tremblingly, "See, see the emperor."

Emperor Qi Xuan looked displeased and said, "What the hell is going on? You two are recruiting me as it is!"

"otherwise……"

As he spoke, his eyes turned cold and his tone contained a hint of murderous intent.

"Slandering the princess is disrespectful and according to law, you should be executed!"

"Chen and concubine dare not!"

The two concubines were so frightened that they could only kowtow and beg for mercy, "Your Majesty, have mercy on me!"

Emperor Qi Xuan looked away impatiently. When Su Maowen saw his expression, he took a few steps forward, shook a whisk heavily, pointed at the two of them and said sternly:
"Why don't you recruit me as soon as possible?!"

Seeing them shaking like chaff, he felt even more disdainful.

Sure enough, there are reasons for not being favored.

He really has no courage and no wink!

He deserves to be used as a gunman!
The two concubines were trembling. You said something and I told them what happened that night.

"Yes, it's Han Jieyu. She found us and asked us to cooperate with her to spread rumors in the palace that the little princess is a monster."

"She also had to say it in front of the little princess. She also said..."

The two of them glanced at Pingyang Hou cautiously and noticed the murderous look in his eyes. They were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads, with a hint of crying in their tone.

"Han Jieyu also said that this was the order given by Marquis Pingyang. After the work is completed, he will be greatly thanked!"

Pingyang Hou gritted his teeth and looked at the two men, his eyes flashing with bloodlust, and he let out an angry roar.

"That's complete nonsense!"

After saying that, he suddenly turned around and said, "Your Majesty, after I came out of Ci'an Palace that day, I did meet Han Jieyu, and I did complain to her a few times."

"But never made her do anything!"

Marquis Pingyang looked calm on his face, but only he knew that his clenched hands were covered in cold sweat hidden under the sleeves of his wide navy blue python robe.

Don't panic!
The Han family has been relegated to the cold palace. If she doesn't want to live a miserable life for the rest of her life, she must know what to say and what not to say.

You must not get into trouble!
The scene once again fell into a stalemate, and Old Master Zhou's expression gradually became serious.

News came from the Queen this morning that the Han family would not identify Marquis Pingyang no matter what.

As long as Pingyang Hou refused to admit it, they really had nothing to do.

Emperor Qi Xuan naturally thought of this. He waved his hand with an unhappy expression and asked people to take the two concubines away.

Seeing this, Marquis Pingyang raised his lips proudly, showing a smile of victory.

He cupped his hands towards the old lady and prepared to step back and stand up.

Seeing his actions, Zhou Yushi's eyes narrowed slightly. It was finally his turn to share His Majesty's worries!

He cleared his throat and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a report:
"Your Majesty, this is the evidence found in the Yuan Mansion!"

Li Wanjing strode in and presented a booklet with both hands.

Su Maowen got the signal and walked quickly down the platform. After getting the booklet, he hurriedly presented it.

Emperor Qi Xuan flipped through two pages, and the hand holding the booklet tightened immediately, and the paper was edited so hard that it made a "scratch" sound.

Although I had known for a long time that Bai Xun's hands were dirty, I didn't expect that this guy would be so bold!

"Corruption and bribery, buying and selling official positions at clearly marked prices, and secretly participating in the abduction and trafficking of women and children!"

Emperor Qi Xuan spoke every word and shot his cold eyes at Marquis Pingyang, wishing he could cut him into pieces with a thousand knives!

Every time he heard a word, Pingyang Hou felt a layer of chill covering his whole body.

Finally, as if he was in the twelfth lunar month of winter, he was frozen to the point of stiffness. It’s over!

"boom!"

He closed the book hard.

"I didn't know when the appointment and dismissal of officials in Daqi was decided by you, Marquis Pingyang?!"

As he spoke, Emperor Qixuan threw the tray containing the memorial at him.

"What else can you say?!"

Marquis Pingyang did not dare to hide, and received this blow, and his forehead was immediately smashed.

"I'm so ashamed!"

He knelt on the ground and began to cry.

"I have been taught by my father and brother since I was a child, and I know that all the glory of the Bai family is due to the emperor's favor!"

Zhou Yushi rolled his eyes.

Again.

Whenever something happened, he would move his deceased father and brother out.

If General Bai and Young General Bai knew that he had done these things that were harmful to Daqi and harmful to nature, they would be afraid that the coffin boards would not be able to hold them down, right?
Pingyang Hou's voice was choked, his tone was sad, and he looked regretful.

"My father and brother died in the battle to protect the country and the people of Li. I actually betrayed my father and brother's will. I really deserve death!"

Emperor Qi Xuan rolled his eyes indecently.

He has heard this so many times that his ears are getting calloused!

Bai Xun said this just to arouse his guilt and then give him a lighter sentence.

Humph, then his calculation was wrong!
Instead of playing the emotional card here, it's better to be more practical and directly use the death-free gold coupon to exchange for your own life!
"The order goes down. Marquis Pingyang has committed corruption, accepted bribes, bought and sold official positions, and abducted women and children. His crimes are unpardonable!"

"Immediately seize his title, confiscate his property, put him on death row, and be executed in three days!"

Marquis Pingyang looked defeated and slumped back in despair.

He lost.

Emperor Qixuan narrowed his eyes slightly and examined him.

You've already reached such a situation, yet you still refuse to hand over the death-free coupon?

Is he really not afraid of death?
Just at Pingyanghou, no, now it's just Bai Xun.

When the Royal Forest Army was about to take Bai Xun away.

Zhou Yushi finally had a chance to stand up!

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Marquis of Pingyang for allowing his son to rob civilian girls and disregard human lives!"

As he said this, he produced evidence that was much thinner than before.

When he heard him mention his son, Bai Xun, who looked dull, panicked visibly.

He struggled twice and yelled at Zhou Yushi, scratching his neck.

"They are just some women clinging to the powerful. How can it be said that something you and I want to do is forced?!"

Emperor Qixuan slapped the testimony on the table, looked at him with a livid face, and gritted his teeth to question.

"Those two women were tortured to death, and you still said you were in love with me?!"

"Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding in this!"

Bai Xun was so anxious that his words were incoherent, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Zhou Yushi glanced at him and said lightly.

"The parents and relatives of those two women are in the Ministry of Justice now. Why don't you let Bai Siche go to the Ministry of Justice and confront those people face to face?"

"Absolutely not!" Bai Xun subconsciously refused.

But his reaction became more and more suspicious in the eyes of everyone.

Bai Xun couldn't care less.

Si Che has been pampered since childhood, how can he withstand the torture of the Ministry of Justice?
When he thought that his son would suffer, he didn't know where he got the strength, struggled to break free from the grip of the two forest guards, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

He clasped his hands together and kept kowtowing. The gold crown on his head had fallen off, and a few strands of half-white hair were scattered.

Blood flowed down half of his face, which looked embarrassing and terrifying.

"Your Majesty, minister, no, they are ordinary people. The ordinary people also have death-free coupons given by the late emperor. They just want to exchange for my son's life!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qi Xuan loosened his clenched fists and then clenched them again.

He treats other people's children like objects.

How can such a person who has committed such a heinous crime still have a loving heart?
What an irony!
