Chapter 720 The Secret of the Xu Family

Chapter 720 Xu Family's Secret
The Supreme Emperor pointed to the imprint on a corner of a box and said.Everyone went to have a look, it was just a shallow scratch.I didn't really see it if I wasn't careful.

The Supreme Emperor said again:
"Don't look at this scratch, I spent a lot of effort and scratched it for a long time."

The people in the room also look at me and I look at you.This box seems to be difficult to open.

The Supreme Emperor said:

"Didn't you bring Patriarch Xu back? Bring him up and ask!"

Fu Jinghao turned around and went out to give orders.After a while, Patriarch Xu, who was a bit sloppy, was brought in.Although he had never been to the capital, the head of the Xu family also knew that this was in the imperial palace. Looking at the two sitting on it, they must be the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.

Patriarch Xu didn't look scared when he saw the two of them, but calmly stepped forward and bowed, kneeling down.

Bring people in.Fu Jinghao consciously went out and stood outside the door.But the emperor shouted:

"Eunuch Song, go outside and spread a word, idlers are not allowed to enter! Jing Hao, come in too!"

Fu Jinghao didn't want to hear what they said about these things at first, but after hearing the emperor's order, he stood in again.

The Supreme Emperor asked the Master Xu in a deep voice:

"Master Xu, look up at the things on the table."

Patriarch Xu raised his disheveled hair and looked at the two boxes on the table, his originally blank expression suddenly became very surprised.

The Supreme Emperor asked:
"Look, which box is yours?"

Patriarch Xu looked at it in a daze, shook his head and said:

"None of them are mine."

The Supreme Emperor slapped heavily on the armrest and said:

"You said it wasn't yours? I found it in your house!"

Master Xu said:

"Your Majesty, it's really not mine! I haven't seen this thing since I became the head of the house. It was only when they took me to see the big bluestone that day that I realized that there was this box and a person inside. Am I really I don’t know what’s in there. When I took the throne, my father just told me that there is the place where our family’s treasures are hidden, but he didn’t say that there are people and things buried there. I don’t know.”

Fu Jinghao raised his eyebrows on one side, but he was thinking in his heart.If it is true that this thing was buried by Patriarch Xu's father, it is really possible.

Fu Jinghao remembered what he had heard from Senior Brother Chou before that it was his grandfather.I want to come and this Xu Patriarch's father is also a generation of people, and it is also a matter of that era.It may be true that Patriarch Xu doesn't know.

The Supreme Emperor pondered for a moment, maybe he also thought of this question.He turned around and asked Fu Jinghao:
"Where did you find this thing before, did it look passive?"

Fu Jinghao replied:
"Back to the Supreme Emperor, when I found out, the middle of the two boulders was hollowed out, and then placed the bones and this box. Judging by the closed seam, it looks like it has not been moved. It is well sealed. Under the water, But there was no water in it."

The Supreme Emperor nodded and said:
"Well, it seems that there was a chance to save your family once, but it seems that you have no chance."

When the Supreme Emperor said this, Patriarch Xu was stunned!He kowtowed again and again:
"I beg the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor to spare my little grandson's life! He is only two years old and doesn't understand anything. What the Xu family does has nothing to do with him, Your Majesty."

The Supreme Emperor's expression sank and he said:

"You also said that he is only two years old. If you let him go, who will he live with? No one wants to take a two-year-old sinner with him. Besides, what did your family do long ago? Everyone in the Lu family knows it. All of my property was handed over to the court, and the court agreed to save the lives of their family, and now they are the servants of Prince Rui. Why did you go so early? I heard that you are still very capable, so I got entangled in martial arts The middleman and the court are against each other? You are capable!"

"Over the years, has the imperial court treated your Lu and Xu families badly? You are deeply favored by the emperor, but you don't want to repay the favor, and you want to rebel, and now you want to ask for mercy?"

"Under the whole world, there are royal lands. How can my royal family tolerate rebels like you?"

Having said that, he waved his hand and said:
"Little General Fu, take him down and hand him over to the people in the Ministry of Punishment. Just do what you need to do if you are convicted! You don't know what's good or bad!"

Listen to what the Supreme Emperor said, not to inquire about the crime, but to judge the case, but to convict him!In other words, this person is dead!This family is also dead!It depends on what crime the Ministry of Criminal Justice comes up with to give the world a reasonable explanation!

Fu Jinghao stepped forward and led the people away.Patriarch Xu's face was pale, but he was really desperate!

At first, I thought that after entering the capital, I would have to go through some steps, and I have invested a lot of money in the capital over the years. Those people must give themselves a chance, no matter what, it is always good to save their grandson.But unexpectedly, the emperor immediately convicted him.I can't keep it!

Come this way.This General Fu treated his family with courtesy. His grandson fell ill on the way. In a town, General Fu asked someone to deliver two bowls of medicine. Otherwise, the grandson might not be able to keep it. up.

When leaving the palace, Patriarch Xu suddenly said to Fu Jinghao:

"General Fu, no matter how big the mistake of the Xu family is, a child is always right. Please ask General Fu to save him! I will thank you very much!"

Fu Jinghao's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't say anything.

Master Xu seems to be talking to himself:
"There is a nunnery outside the city of Haikun County. It was built by an old mother back then. It takes in some poor women who have been bullied and have no way out. The old mother believes in Buddhism. Under the Buddha statue, there must be something. If General Fu is interested You can go and have a look. I just want my little grandson to live, whether he is a slave or a commoner. Just let him live and grow up. Don’t let him do these things on the road, just let him be ordinary grown up!"

Fu Jinghao still didn't speak, the more Patriarch Xu said, the paler his face became.Because he didn't get a response, Fu Jinghao was still indifferent when he knew what he said.

We're almost at the Ministry of Justice.Patriarch Xu said again:

"General Fu, there is a history of that box under the statue in the main house of the Xu family!"

This time, Fu Jinghao turned to look at Patriarch Xu.Patriarch Xu's eyes were full of begging.All I want is to give my little grandson a way out!
Fu Jinghao only left one sentence:

"Prince Rui is a kind man!"

Patriarch Xu's eyes were a little confused at first, and then he was ecstatic!If the little grandson can be handed over to Prince Rui, his life will be saved!
Although he has never been to the capital these years, he knows everything about the capital. Patriarch Xu naturally knows the current status of Prince Rui in this dynasty.Moreover, he also knew that General Fu was Prince Rui's fiancé, and if he had promised to do it, then naturally his grandson would be saved.

The head of the Xu family swore in front of the ancestors that the Xu family got this box, and he would never say anything about it, even until he died.But now, the whole family is lost.For the little grandson, he said it!
