Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 561 Contest (3)
Gu Taifu looked at the stern expression between his brows, shook his head and sighed softly: "Tianjun, it seems that you didn't understand what the emperor meant. I framed Xiao Qingyu to obey the emperor's heart..."

Xiao Tianjun was startled: "Father wants to kill Xiao Qingyu? Why?"

"Because Mengyao Academy has more and more students who are officials in the court, Xiao Qingyu's power is getting stronger and stronger, and he is about to threaten the imperial power. As the emperor, how can he allow others to override him?" Above him, he has disliked Xiao Qingyu a long time ago, but he has never been able to find a suitable reason to suppress Xiao Qingyu!" Taifu Gu's voice was low and deep, and every word and every sentence hit the point, Xiao Tianjun listened with deep eyes, During the day, the emperor's repeated questioning of Xiao Qingyu was indeed intended to force and suppress him!
Gu Taifu saw that he was a little enlightened, and continued to be honest and seductive: "Xiao Tianling has a lot of capable people and strong men. If we frame him, he will definitely fight back with all his strength. If he is not careful, he will burn himself. To frame Xiao Qingyu is in accordance with the Emperor's wishes, as long as the evidence is conclusive, the Emperor will definitely punish him in an instant, and will not give him any chance to fight back."

Xiao Tianjun and Xiao Qingyu had an average relationship, but they didn't have any major conflicts, so he couldn't bear to push him out as a scapegoat like this: "Do this... okay?"

Gu Taifu looked at his hesitant expression, and frowned tightly: "Xiao Qingyu's ability is far superior to that of you and Xiao Tianling. Whenever the people of Qinglong Kingdom mention the younger generation with the surname Xiao, they will basically think of him. Xiao Qingyu, you and Xiao Tianling are far behind him. He is a potential threat. Even if we let him go, the emperor will find other reasons to suppress him. Let us lose this great opportunity to cage the Sacred Heart."

Assassinating the Taiwei is no small matter. If the evidence is convincing, grandpa will be sentenced to death, and the whole family will be executed. Xiao Tianjun doesn't want grandpa to have an accident: "Okay, grandpa will figure it out!"

Xiao Qingyu was the one that his father wanted to plot against. He couldn't help him, so he could only pray for him to be blessed.

Seeing his relieved expression, Gu Taifu nodded in satisfaction, and the sound of steady footsteps was accompanied by rough orders: "Master Meng will interrogate Gu Taifu!"

Gu Taifu's eyes turned cold, and he said anxiously: "Hurry up and send this jade pendant to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Yes!" The dark guard took the order and disappeared without a trace in an instant!

Gu Taifu breathed a sigh of relief, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a meaningful smile: Soon, the person who will go to the court for the first trial will change from him to Xiao Qingyu!
The Taiwei was assassinated, the situation was serious, the incident was transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Meng Shangshu was the one who investigated and tried the case, and the emperor, empress, prince, third prince and Xiao Qingyu who were involved in the case all came to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to listen.

Wearing a snow-white prison uniform, Gu Taifu walked up to the court, and politely performed the ceremony of a monarch and a minister.

Meng Shangshu patted the gavel, and raised his voice: "Gu Taifu killed Shangguan Taiwei, can Gu Taifu plead guilty?"

Gu Taifu looked at Meng Shangshu indifferently: "Meng Shangshu has evidence to prove that Shangguan Taiwei was killed by me."

Meng Shangshu's eyes flashed: "There are indeed some." The direction of the evidence is a bit unclear. If you want to find out the real culprit, you need to continue to collect evidence.

"May I have a look at the so-called evidence?" Tai Fu Gu's voice was light, and there was a faint hope in his shrewd eyes.

"Of course!" Meng Shangshu nodded in agreement, the evidence was to be displayed in the hall for everyone to see, even if Taifu Gu didn't ask, he would order someone to present it in the hall: "Come here, present the evidence!"

Gu Taifu quietly glanced at Xiao Qingyu, with a dark light in his eyes: Xiao Qingyu will soon become a prisoner, but he can't be blamed for the matter. If you want to blame, you can blame the emperor. The emperor wanted to plot against Xiao Qingyu, and he just followed the emperor's order mean.

Several different pieces of evidence were lined up in front of Gu Taifu. Gu Taifu raised his eyebrows lightly and searched quickly. Sure enough, he saw something he was familiar with and picked it up: "This jade pendant is so familiar!"

Everyone looked up and saw the white jade pendant in his hand. The jade pendant was a small piece with a small radical engraved in the center, but based on the radicals, they could still guess where the jade pendant came from: "This is the jade pendant from Prince Qi's mansion. !"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar. Among the evidence of killing Shangguan Taiwei, they found the jade pendant of Prince Qi's mansion, which showed that the man was killed by the people of King Qi's mansion, that is, Shizi Xiao.

Xiao Tianjun sighed in his heart, looked at Xiao Qingyu sympathetically, but didn't say much.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and there was a clear smile in his eyes.

Meng Shangshu has tried many cases, and he has experienced more than one case of new evidence appearing in the middle of the trial. He was not flustered, and looked at Xiao Qingyu indifferently: "Xiao Shizi, do you have something to say?"

"Last night, thieves came to Prince Qi's mansion and stole this jade pendant." Xiao Qingyu said lightly, completely ignoring the predicament in front of him.

Gu Taifu looked at Xiao Qingyu with a half-smile: "These evidences were collected at the Hot Spring Villa yesterday afternoon. It should be that Prince Xiao accidentally dropped them in the Hot Spring Villa, not stolen from Prince Qi's Mansion!"

"It's also possible that the thief stole the jade pendant and deliberately threw it into the pile of evidence in order to frame this son!" Xiao Qingyu said in a clear voice without any emotion, and there was a little bit of sharpness in his obsidian-like pupils, as if Instant insight into everything!
Taifu Gu was startled, panic surged up in his heart for no reason, as if the secret in his heart had been seen through by him...

"Where did the thieves come from, dare to act wildly in the Ministry of punishment!" Stern and angry shouts came from outside the house, which made people's eardrums hurt, and the fierce fighting sound of "ping ping pong pong pong" immediately sounded, and everyone who listened looked at each other: what's going on ?

Meng Shangshu's face was gloomy and terrifying, the emperor was watching the trial from the sidelines, and they unexpectedly went into trouble: "What happened?"

'boom! ’An unknown object was kicked into the lobby and smashed hard on the ground, followed by a middle-aged man's thick voice: "Hui Shangshu, this kid is sneaky, I don't know what he is doing!"

Everyone took a closer look, and saw a man in black lying in the center of the lobby. He was tall and straight, wearing a black scarf on his face, the clothes on his back were drenched with blood, exuding a faint smell of blood, and his pupils were also hazy. Always ghosting.

After putting away the evidence, he was about to flee, but unexpectedly, he met a middle-aged man, who was entangled with him tightly. He couldn't avoid it, couldn't get rid of it. And all the guards captured.

The secret guard carried out the order, he was only allowed to succeed, not to fail, and if he failed, he would die. He delayed Taifu Gu's important affairs, and Taifu Gu would not let him survive.

Looking up at Grand Tutor Gu, he really had a gloomy complexion, cold eyes flickered, as if giving him a death order, the dark guard gritted his teeth, and poisonous blood flowed out of his mouth.

The strong smell of blood lingered in the air, and the middle-aged man's eyes froze: "Meng Shangshu, he committed suicide!"
