I'm so hard

Chapter 242 Has Wen Xiang ever killed someone?
Lin Yu'er bit her lip, and said: "The person I want to sue is Xiao Jingye, the minister of literature at the court. I handed over the pleadings to the Ministry of Education. Am I not throwing myself into a trap?"

"what?"

The three of Zhao Yan were taken aback, seeing the woman's expression seemed to have a deep hatred for Xiao Jingye.

"Why do you want to sue Minister Wen?" Xiao Zijie asked in surprise, his father had always been upright, and had a good reputation both in the court and among the people.

Lin Yu'er looked at Zhao Yan and the others, and said, "This matter is about the lives of my slaves. The reason why the little girl joined forces with Dao Liu to cheat is because Dao Liu and a partial general of Shen Tuyi, the commander of the imperial army, knew each other. Sent into the palace. Unless the three can show me that they can enter the palace to see His Majesty, otherwise I will not say anything about it."

Zhao Yan couldn't help frowning slightly, this woman's thinking is still too simple!

How could a mere general be able to hand over the pleading paper to the dragon case, unless he was dying.

And even for Shen Tuyi, unless he met the saint directly, any written materials would have to be reviewed by the Ministry of Education.

Otherwise, Zhao Yan would be exhausted from dealing with trivial matters every day!

Zhao Yan glanced at Kong Ze, who immediately signaled and took out a black token.

"Girl, this token is the order of the dragon pattern. You can enter the palace to face the saint with it. You must have heard of this name. If Wen Xiang is guilty, we will definitely report it to the saint!" Kong Ze said sincerely.

When Lin Yuer listened to Zhao Yan and the three of them chatting, she felt that they were not ordinary people. After seeing the Dragon Mark Order, she did not doubt that it was fake, so she immediately knelt down and said with tears in her eyes: "If the three gentlemen can seek justice for the little girl, In the next life, I will be a cow or a horse with a clear conscience!"

Kong Ze quickly helped him up, and seeing his expression, there was indeed a huge grievance.

Immediately, Lin Yu'er turned her back, and took out a letter sealed with ink pad near her body. On the letter were written four large characters: Your Majesty's own.

Kong Ze took the envelope and said, "Don't worry, girl, we will definitely hand over this letter to His Majesty to open, but please let us know the contents of this letter, otherwise we will not be able to report to His Majesty."

"Sir, please sit down!" Lin Yu'er wiped her tears, sat on a chair beside her, and said, "24 years ago, Xiao Jingye, the Minister of Literature, and Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, were ordered to go to Korea as an envoy. , he once passed by Baiyi Town, Sanyang County, Shouzhou, where he stopped for seven days and met my mother Lin Fengzheng. At that time, Xiao Jingye already had a wife and children, but my mother still fell in love with him. Jingye promised to bring my mother back to Changdan after he came back from Korea, and one month after he left Baiyi Town, my mother became pregnant, and two months later, my mother heard that Gaoli and Dazhou signed a three-year contract Regarding the matter of the treaty, I have been waiting for Xiao Jingye to return and bring him back to Changdan, never thought..."

Lin Yuer's tears fell again.

"I never expected to wait for the killer sent by Xiao Jingye. Xiao Jingye asked the killer to tell my mother that my mother's status is low, she is not worthy of him, and it may affect his future career, so he wants to kill the grass. And when When my mother claimed that she was pregnant, the killer even threatened that the Xiao family already had an eldest son, and this kind of bastard should not be left in the world."

"Then...then...they threw my pregnant mother, three uncles and three aunts who knew about it, and four children under the age of 12 into the river, causing drowning and death The illusion of death!"

As she spoke, Lin Yu'er cried even harder.

"But... but there is no end to the road. After my mother rushed into the water, she was rescued by a woodcutter and gave birth to me. Then my mother moved to another place to live until two years ago , when she was dying, she told me the truth about this matter, and I came back to Changdan after thousands of times to sue the emperor!" Lin Yu'er said touchingly, and burst into tears.

After Zhao Yan and the three listened, they also frowned.

Zhao Yan found out what Xiao Jingye was doing 24 years ago when he went back. If it was true, then Lin Yuer was Xiao Zijie's biological sister, and Xiao Jingye was responsible for the murder of ten people.

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if the official was a minister, he would be sentenced to beheading if he killed ten innocent people.

Zhao Yan looked at Xiao Zijie.

Xiao Zijie shook his head and said, "I don't believe it, it's absolutely impossible!"

Lin Yu'er looked at Xiao Zijie in confusion, not knowing why he said that.

At this moment, Zhao Yan felt very uneasy.

If this matter is false, Zhao Yan will definitely be the happiest person.If this is true, it will be difficult for Zhao Yan.

Over the years, Xiao Jingye can be said to be the biggest pillar of the Great Zhou. The late emperor needed to rely on him, and Zhao Yan also needed to rely on him. Xiao Jingye's contribution to the Great Zhou, including leading the atmosphere in the court, is obvious to all .

If he really sent people to kill those ten people and intended to kill his wife and daughter, then Zhao Yan would be reluctant to sentence him to death, but if he didn't, it would be unfair to the woman.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yan said to the girl: "Girl, now you come into the palace with us, and I will let you and Xiao Jingye confront each other in person!"

"Really?" Lin Yuer was extremely happy and excited.

Seeing her expression, the three of Zhao Yan felt uneasy.

But no matter what the truth is, it always has to be faced.

Soon, Hei Wa arranged two carriages, one carrying Lin Yu'er into the palace, and the other carrying Zhao Yan and the three of them into the palace.In addition, someone was sent to summon Xiao Jingye.

In the Chuigong Hall, Zhao Yan sat on the dragon chair, feeling very uneasy.

He had already read the pleading paper, it was written in such detail and well-founded, it was hard to see that it was fabricated.

Xiao Zijie and Kong Ze below had already woken up from the wine they drank in the afternoon, and they were also pacing back and forth, feeling extremely uneasy.

Zhao Yan planned to ask Xiao Jingye first, and then let the two confront each other.

Soon, Xiao Jingye hurried over.

"Your Majesty, in at most two hours, the results of the Shu Prefecture's New Deal will come out. I wonder why Your Majesty is urgently calling for your ministers?" Xiao Jingye asked with some doubts, and glanced at Xiao Zijie and Kong Ze who were at the side. .

"Could it be that these two boys are causing trouble again?" Xiao Jingye thought in his heart.

Zhao Yan took a long breath, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Aiqing, recently there is a case more than 20 years ago that requires Aiqing's assistance. Can Aiqing answer a few questions for me?"

Xiao Jingye was a little confused, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "Your minister must know everything."

"24 years ago, what official position was Aiqing? Have you ever been to Korea?"

Xiao Jingye thought for a while, and replied: "If your majesty doesn't improve Li, I really don't remember. 24 years ago, I was a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wai Lang. A three-pass treaty of nearly 10 taels of silver."

Zhao Yan asked again: "Have you ever been to Baiyi Town, Sanyang County, Shouzhou?"

Xiao Jingye was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

On the other hand, Xiao Zijie and Kong Ze became depressed.
