Chapter 144 The Reason
"If the emperor asks you something again, just say it."

"The capital of Jin and Chu, at the feet of the emperor, will definitely give you justice."

These words made Ah Xing unable to recover for a long time.

Aroused by the voice of the man in front of him, Ah Xing lowered his head and tightened his hands in vain by his side.

I always feel that this man actually knows everything.

but……

A figure waiting for him in a small alley appeared in his mind, and the white money stung Ah Xing's nerves.

Forcing himself to ignore Xu Qingyi's gaze, Ah Xing threw himself down in front of the emperor, layers of soil stained the fabric on his knees, the rose flower beside him trembled three times in shock from his movement, and a petal fell off.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, help me, Your Majesty..."

Before he finished speaking, Ah Xing cautiously met the glaring eyes of Lehman next to him, and immediately swallowed what he was going to say, showing a scared expression.

His body began to tremble, and he slowly moved his knees and stepped back. This timid appearance made the emperor think a lot.

Thinking of what Gu Qingsheng said last time when Lehman brought Gu Qingsheng here, the emperor had some thoughts in his heart.

Originally thought that Lehman's rampant behavior would not be so serious, otherwise he would not have received memorials in this regard until now.

Looking at the guilty looks of those ministers now, and the frightened expression of the beggar, all the facts seem to be self-evident.

He slapped the head of the chair with a "bang", which startled the queen at the side.

"It's lawless!!"

"The emperor calm down, don't get angry."

Concubine Ning was not surprised, she handed a glass of water to his side, winking like silk.

"Speak boldly! I will decide for you!!"

With this guarantee, Ah Xing felt relieved.

"Grass... Grassman Ah Xing... is..."

"It's a beggar on Jinchu East Street. He and his younger brother make a living by begging."

Ah Xing shrugged his shoulders, trembling a little, as if remembering the harshness of the whip at that time, he suddenly flinched and hugged his arms tightly

"Once... once! When my brother and I were crossing the street, we didn't notice that we blocked that man's carriage...he just took us, just us..."

Pointing at Lehman tremblingly with his finger, Lehman's eyes changed.

At that time, he was in the carriage, how could he recognize that he had bullied this little beggar, when he was told such a thing, the emperor's probing eyes suddenly hit him, which suddenly made him a little guilty

"What nonsense are you talking about! You are a crime of deceiving the king! When will I..."

"I'm not talking nonsense!"

Seeing Lehman's rebuttal, Ah Xing simply took off his shirt, exposing his somewhat black and gray back.

On his back, what is glaring is the countless welts that are forming pink scars, superimposed one by one on his back, ugly and hideous, making it impossible to imagine the pain he suffered at that time.

"That's what you did! You asked the driver to..."

When these words were spoken, Ah Xing gritted his teeth, full of resentment, and stared at Lehman.
"You don't even spare my little brother! You said you'd let the coachman beat us to death!"

The moment the whip marks came out, Lehman was a little shaky, he held on to the table secretly, clenched his hands tightly, his face flushed red.

The table was shaking with clenched hands, and some wine was spilled from the wine glasses on the table

"You...you have no way to prove..."

"emperor!"

Eunuch Li’s sharp voice interrupted Lehman, and he walked quickly to Ah Xing

"The slave recognizes it!"

He pointed to the big and small potholes on Ah Xing's scar
"This is a bone-piercing nail unique to the whips of the Western Regions. When it hits a person, it will form such a pothole!"

"The slave was lucky enough to see an exile from the Western Regions once, and that exile had this kind of scar on his body."

Eunuch Li said so, what Lehman did seems to be a certainty.

The emperor suppressed his anger to the extreme, the moon was full and full, but the atmosphere here was very tense.

Looking at this good show, Gu Qingsheng intuitively told her that there must be someone interfering in this matter, someone must have sent Ah Xing before the emperor.

"Then, Ah Xing, tell me, how did you get to the palace, and why did those people chase you?"

Ah Xing kowtowed, ignoring Lehman's gloomy gaze, feeling quite broken

"Report to the Emperor!"

"After that incident, Cao Min and his younger brother hid far away and didn't come out very often, because they were afraid that this kind of thing would happen again."

"Caomin is still a little older, so it doesn't matter if he gets beaten, the main reason is that my younger brother is still too young, and what happened last time made him very sad."

"But!!"

he suddenly became excited again

"I thought the matter was finally over. My brother and I just wanted to come out to beg tonight! But we were kidnapped by two men in black! I didn't even see my brother's face for the last time, so the two of us separated!"

"The man in black said himself that he belongs to that man! He wants to take us captive to practice Gu! On the way back, I happened to pass by this place. I struggled so much that I rolled off the roof, so I just That's why I came to this place... Please, Your Majesty! Please, Your Majesty, save my younger brother!"

"Please, Your Majesty, save my younger brother!"

As he spoke, Ah Xing burst into tears, his tone was choked with sobs, Concubine Ning Guifei was a little moved
"This poor child..."

"You...you are talking nonsense!"

Lehman rushed out suddenly, and saw Ah Xing's hands hooked, his eyes were red and angry!

It was actually a vague killing intent.

Chu Zhiyao grabs Lehman

"Don't be stupid."

He whispered in Lehman's ear, and tightly restrained Lehman.

Now the little beggar is only identified, and there is no very direct and very strong proof, but if Lehman really killed the little beggar in front of so many people, it will be really hard to argue.

"But he..."

Lehman was still struggling, and did not lower his anger at all because of Chu Zhiyao's stop.

"Everything Ah Xing said is true! Please save my brother, Your Majesty!"

"Don't talk nonsense..."

"prince!"

The man in black howled suddenly, and kowtowed at Lehman on the ground.

"Prince, I didn't complete the task well, and he ran away! The subordinates should die! The subordinates should die!"

Unexpectedly, the man in black also came to intervene, and Lehman's expression became even worse. Chu Zhiyao almost didn't stop him all at once.
"Come on! Pull the prince down quickly!!"

All of a sudden, the entire Imperial Garden was filled with various voices and was a little noisy.

Further questioning involved some major events between the two countries, and some ministers knew it well and got up and walked away silently.

"Do you really think it's that simple?"

 Good night, babies, good night, good night, than you
