The whole family is in limbo? He went crazy after listening to Zai's voice

Chapter 67 Abandoning the Car to Save the Commander
Zhao Chengwen looked at him with cold eyes and shouted wildly.

Xiaoqi had told him everything about the poetry meeting. If there weren't other people around, he would have wanted to beat this guy up!
Now that he saw Xiao Yuankai looking as embarrassed as a beggar, he felt very happy!

"I'm afraid Mr. Xiao has forgotten that the Concubine Xian was banned from copying scriptures. Even if he knew about this, I'm afraid he was powerless. As for Mr. Xiao..."

Thinking of the spy who had just been put into the cell, Zhao Chengwen looked at him and said meaningfully: "I can't protect myself, how can I take care of you?"

After saying that, he was in a good mood, turned around and strode away.

Xiao Yuankai eagerly stretched out his hand from the gap in the cell and grabbed it forward, trying to stop him and ask for details.

"Stop, what do you mean by this?!"

"Come back! Tell me clearly!"

But the other party was already far away, and no matter how much he shouted, it was all in vain.

Morning next day.

In Tai'an Hall, seeing General Li and Zhao Jingwu whom they had not seen for a long time, the ministers came forward to greet them one after another.

The two people, who had also not been in court for a long time and were surrounded by many ministers, formed a sharp contrast with Xiao Wentao, who was standing alone on the other side.

Zheng Fang secretly spat in their direction, then turned his head and looked at Xiao Wentao flatteringly.

"They are just a bunch of wallflowers. Mr. Xiao doesn't need to pay attention to them."

However, Xiao Wentao kept his brows furrowed and ignored him.

For some reason, he always felt a little uneasy.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

"I will see you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Qi Xuan sat on the dragon chair and looked at the courtiers majestically.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Minister of War, Zheng Fang, for corruption and bribery, and instruct his brother-in-law, Sun Wei, to take advantage of his position to poison the assassin who appeared at the palace banquet and kill him to silence him!
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in Tai'an Palace.

"Zheng Fang is so bold?"

"But doesn't he hate corrupt officials the most in his life? He once personally caught several ministers who were corrupt and bribed."

"Is it possible that he has some relationship with the assassin, so he is eager to silence him?"

Someone glanced at Xiao Wentao and whispered: "Zheng Xiang came and only Xiao Shangshu followed his lead. This matter will not go well..."

Hearing this, Xiao Wentao glanced over with a cold look, and the man was so frightened that he quickly shut up.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!" Zheng Fang's face turned pale with fright, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

"The testimonies and account books are all here. Your Majesty, please take a look!"

Zhou Yushi held several booklets in his hands and raised them high above his head.

After Emperor Qixuan took it, he read the above testimony, took a few deep breaths, and suppressed his anger. After looking through the account book, he was filled with anger that could no longer be suppressed.

"Be bold!"

"How dare you embezzle military supplies, military salaries, and money dedicated to making weapons. The soldiers are defending their homes and countries on the battlefield and fighting desperately, but you lie on them and drink their blood and marrow!"

Emperor Qixuan smashed three two-finger-thick account books one by one on Zheng Fang's forehead.

"Damn it!"

Because he has been practicing martial arts for many years, his accuracy is very good and he hits the same spot every time.

Zheng Fang was hit three times, his forehead was already broken, blood mixed with cold sweat flowed all over his face, and he was in a miserable state.

He stopped shouting injustice, raised his head tremblingly, and glanced in Xiao Wentao's direction.

Emperor Qi Xuan looked at his actions with cold eyes and said sternly: "If you are willing to accept the crime and perform meritorious service, I will save you from death!"

Hearing this, Zheng Fang subconsciously glanced in Xiao Wentao's direction.

Xiao Wentao, as if he had eyes behind his back, suddenly turned around, pointed at him and said sternly:

"Well, Zheng Fang, even if you embezzle military funds, you dare to assassinate the emperor. Aren't you afraid of losing the lives of the entire clan if you do such a treasonous act?!"

Hearing this, Zheng Fang's face suddenly turned pale, his eyes were a little moist, his forehead was heavily pressed to the ground, and his voice was slightly choked.

"Your Majesty, it's all the fault of the guilty minister alone and has nothing to do with anyone else!"

He closed his eyes heavily, and tears of regret fell from the corners of his eyes onto his sleeves. When he was a child, his family was poor, and his father was slandered and imprisoned for his heroic actions.

Because of the one hundred taels of silver given by the murderer's family, the county magistrate at that time hurriedly closed the case and convicted his father and beheaded him.

From then on, he was determined to put an end to injustice in the world and fight against corrupt officials!

Originally, he was determined to be a good official who was loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and devoted to the people.

I don't know when he started, but he gradually turned into the person he once hated and hated the most.

Xiao Wentao's meaning is already very clear.

If he is not recruited, the worst possible outcome for the entire Zheng family would be exile, and the entire family might still be able to survive.

But to tell the truth, before Xiao Wentao died, he would be buried with dozens of members of the Zheng family.

He doesn't dare to gamble!

"Humph!"

Emperor Qixuan snorted in dissatisfaction, "Come here!"

The imperial guards outside the palace heard the order and came in.

"Take Zheng Fang to death row and behead him outside the Meridian Gate three days later. All the assets of the Zheng family will be confiscated and put into the national treasury. The rest of the Zheng family will be exiled!"

After Zheng Fang was taken away, Xiao Wentao gradually loosened his clenched fists. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard:

"Bring the people up!"

"Click, tear..."

The sound of iron chains rubbing against the ground reached everyone's ears.

The imperial guards pressed a prisoner into the main hall.

The man's hands and feet were chained, and he was wearing a dirty prison uniform. His hair was messy and his face was dirty.

After Xiao Wentao saw the man's appearance, he looked a little panicked and subconsciously staggered back half a step, almost losing his balance.

Isn't he already dead?

The one who was brought up was none other than the spy he had placed around the Li family. He was also the spy who leaked military information to Huashan before the war, Ma Qi.

Xiao Wentao turned his head suddenly and looked at the figure sitting high on the dragon chair.

So it turns out that sending Zhao Jingwu to suppress the bandits was also a lie.

The emperor had long suspected him. Together with the Li and Zhao families, they had weaved a big net and were just waiting for him to get into it!
Then Yuan Kai was arrested?
Damn it, there was a mess yesterday!
Seeing his slightly panicked expression, the prince twitched the corners of his mouth.

It was indeed him who sent people to find the Cheng family, and it was also his instruction to stop Xiao Yuankai in the street.

His original intention was to take this opportunity to arrest Xiao Yuankai, and he did not even expect to convict him based on the deed alone.

But as long as Xiao Yuankai is imprisoned, the Xiao family will have no time to care about anything else.

In this way, Zhao Hujun can successfully escort the spies back to Beijing.

Ma Qi knelt on the ground, pointing in the direction of Xiao Wentao, with a look of anger on his face.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Shangshu ordered everything. He asked me to leak the information to Huashan, and he asked me to frame the Li family!"

Xiao Wentao took a step forward without even looking at him, "Your Majesty, I know this! I don't know this person at all!"

"You bullshit!"

"It was you who placed me next to General Li in the first place. This time, after your promise is fulfilled, you will give me 10,000 taels of gold and let me be promoted!"

Xiao Wentao turned his head and looked at him with disdain.

"Your Majesty, this person cannot be trusted. He is clearly biting randomly. He must be jealous of me, so he is throwing dirty water on me!"

His contemptuous eyes irritated Ma Qi, "I have sent letters to you and Wei Wei, the director of the Xiyue National Military Headquarters Headquarters, many times. Those letters are evidence!"

Emperor Qi Xuan immediately sent people to search Xiao Mansion.

March looked angry.

Want to kill him and silence him?
Then he will let Xiao Wentao and the entire Xiao family be buried with him!
It was worth it to have so many people carrying me on the Huangquan Road!

Seeing his posture, Xiao Wentao sneered silently.

Huh, what a beautiful thought!
