The whole family is in limbo? He went crazy after listening to Zai's voice
Chapter 68 Dealing with traitors
Chapter 68 Dealing with traitors
After Yuan Kai was arrested yesterday, he always felt uneasy. To be on the safe side, he had burned the letters.
Even if you turn the Xiao family upside down, you will find nothing!
Looking at the furious emperor, the ministers fell silent one after another. For a while, the Tai'an Palace was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
The sand in the hourglass flows downward at a constant speed, and time passes little by little.
In the past, the court would have retreated at this hour, but now no one dared to mention the word "Zou".
Xiao Wentao looked at the person sitting on the throne intently, with a calm look on his face.
However, his calmness did not last long because the searchers came back.
"Your Majesty, this is a secret letter found in Master Xiao's study."
Xiao Wentao's pretended indifference cracked when he saw the two letters, "This is impossible!"
"What a courage!"
After Emperor Qi Xuan read it, he slapped the letter on the table. His eyes were full of coldness, his jaw was tense, and he gripped the letter hard, with veins popping out on the back of his hand.
The ministers knelt down one after another, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Your Majesty, this letter must be a forgery!" Xiao Wentao shouted.
Emperor Qi Xuan motioned to Su Maowen, "Take these two letters and let them see them!"
Su Maowen held a piece of paper in one hand, walked around in front of the minister, and finally stopped in front of Xiao Wentao.
The minister who read the letter whispered.
"The handwriting is indeed Xiao Wentao's."
"What a wolfish ambition!"
Looking at the familiar handwriting and the handwriting that was exactly the same as his own, Xiao Wentao kept shaking his head.
"Impossible, I have obviously burned it, this letter was not written by me at all!"
"Hmph! So you did write it!"
"Xiao Wentao, I have always known that you are very scheming, but I never thought that you are so ambitious that you dare to secretly collude with the second prince of Xiyue Kingdom!"
Hearing this, Ma Qi was confused for a moment, the second prince of Xiyue Kingdom?
"Somebody come!"
"According to my decree, Xiao Wentao has collaborated with the enemy and treason, and his son Xiao Yuankai has committed suicide. The two of them are guilty of unpardonable crimes. They will be taken to the Meridian Gate at noon tomorrow and beheaded in public display!"
"All the Xiao family's assets and any seizures will be returned. The rest of the female family members will be immediately exiled to the northwest. Within three generations of the Xiao family's nine clans, they are not allowed to serve as officials in the court!"
After hearing the decree, Xiao Wentao's always high head dropped heavily.
Mr. Xiao, it's completely over.
He became the Xiao family's biggest sinner in a century!
Before being taken away, he suddenly raised his head and laughed, "Hahaha, so what if you are the emperor? You are still being led by the nose!"
Emperor Qixuan frowned, what did he mean by this?
Many ministers shrank involuntarily and looked pale when they saw Xiao Wentao being taken away.
These are all people who have interests in dealings with Xiao Wentao.
Some ministers looked proud, as if they were glad that they did not associate with the Xiao family on weekdays.
"Where is Chang Bin, the minister of Honglu Temple?"
Chang Bin stood up tremblingly.
He had just dealt with Xiao Wentao and Zheng Fang, why did the emperor call him now?
"Immediately prepare two letters and send one to the Xiyue Kingdom. Their second prince colluded with our ministers to provoke war and displaced the people. I want the leader of the Xiyue Kingdom to give me an explanation!"
Thinking of this, Emperor Qi Xuan ground his molars.
Shangguan Rongchen, that old fox, must peel off another layer of his skin this time!
"The other letter was sent to Emperor Donglin. Daqi entertained the envoy from Xiyue and invited him to join in the fun and discuss trade matters."
Hearing this, many ministers' eyelids jumped.
lively?
Maybe he wanted to invite Emperor Donglin to see Xiyue Kingdom's joke.
Chang Bin breathed a sigh of relief, "I obey your order!"
Emperor Qi Xuan's majestic eyes swept through each minister in turn, and finally stopped at General Li. With a smile on his lips, he said loudly:
"If you are guilty, you will be punished, but if you are meritorious, you will be rewarded heavily!"
……
Qionghua Palace
The result of staying up late preparing gifts, of course, is... oversleeping.
Concubine Shu slept until three o'clock in the morning.
When Chun Shi came in to call her for the third time, she faintly woke up.
"What time has it been?" Chun Shi helped her stand up and replied softly: "It's been three o'clock."
"what?!"
Concubine Shu hurriedly changed her clothes and walked to the dressing table to sit down.
"Why didn't you call me earlier?"
"Hurry, hurry, it's too late."
Chun Shi looked at her helplessly, "I've called you several times, but the queen must be too tired, so every time she just said 'hmm' softly, then turned over and continued to sleep."
Hearing this, Concubine Shu smiled sarcastically and quickly changed the subject, "Help me dress up first. I'll go see Yao'er and let the carriage be ready. After dinner, we'll set off to the general's mansion."
After washing up, Concubine Shu walked quietly to Chu Yaoyao's room.
Looking at the little guy who was sleeping on his back with his belly bulging, she laughed and shook her head.
Suddenly, she noticed signs that the box under the bed had been opened.
She walked over quickly, and sure enough, the key was still on it.
She opened it and inspected it carefully. There were many pieces of jewelry missing!
In addition to a few gold ingots, there are also a pair of gold bracelets with rubies, a pair of ruby heads, and an emerald bracelet!
Concubine Shu narrowed her eyes slightly and turned cold.
Could it be that one of the slaves saw that Yaoyao was a child who couldn't speak clearly and wanted to deceive the master!
"Concubine?"
Chu Yaoyao stretched out her fleshy little hands and rubbed her confused eyes.
[I chatted with Ruan Nuo too late yesterday and overslept. 】
[Why is the mother-in-law squatting on the ground? 】
Chu Yaoyao looked down and found that the treasure box had been opened.
[Oops, after I sold Ruan Nuo some jewelry last night, I forgot to lock it up! 】
[If you get caught by a mouse, you'll be in trouble. By the way, there shouldn't be any mice in Qionghua Palace, right? 】
She immediately jumped out of bed and grabbed the treasure in the box.
[Okay, okay, nothing is missing. 】
Seeing her actions, Concubine Shu understood.
It turns out that Yaoyao took the missing ones herself, but who is Ruan Nuo?
After struggling for a while, she gave up thinking about it. The most important thing today was to return to the General's Mansion.
With this thought, Concubine Shu picked up Yaoyao and changed her clothes.
System: Detect the blood relatives of the host and punish the traitor x2, reward counterattack progress +35, points +175, current progress is 80, and points balance is 261.
Hearing the sound, Chu Yaoyao raised her hand for a moment.
[Is it the Xiao family? 】
System: That's right.
Looking at the three-digit points, Chu Yaoyao no longer bothered about losing money to help the poor last night.
[The counterattack progress is 75. Even if I face the male and female protagonists head-on now, I won’t be afraid! 】
When she thought of this, Chu Yaoyao clenched her fists excitedly, looking high-spirited in struggle.
Speaking of the heroine, she thought of Ruan Nuo's situation.
It started like hell, with a broken and useless golden finger, and I struggled for a year, but I am still optimistic and positive.
Her mental journey is enough to write a history of counterattack and struggle through cannon fodder.
Now she has been kicked out of her home, and she was deceived by an economic company and has to pay 10 million in liquidated damages.
Because of the frame-up of the fake daughter, Ruan Nuo was expelled from school. Without an education, she could not find a good job.
Even if you work as a waiter in a restaurant, you will always meet fake rich men and dog-lickers, and then you will find trouble and be fired...
But fortunately, I successfully opened the plane mall and met her.
After the jewelry is sold and the liquidated damages are paid, there should be a lot left over.
[System, why doesn’t Ruan Nuo have a big turntable? 】
Yesterday, all the focus was on the post, and I forgot to ask clearly.
System: No. 1089 was forcibly devoured by other systems, so the big carousel was lost, and half of the point rewards for the tasks completed by Ruan Nuo this year were taken away. It was probably used by the host of another system to draw a lottery.
Speaking of this, he was almost furious. His little brother was bullied like this by a wild leader.
What a shame!
[So, Ruan Nuo has been working for others! 】
【Who is that person? ! 】
