Chapter 224 Shocking revelation
The more the emperor listened, the more angry he became. As expected, Gu Huaizhi was an ungrateful person who could never be fed .
He asked in a stern voice, "You are a prince, where did you get so much gold to curry favor with the enemy?"
Gu Huaizhi did not expect Xu Mo to act so quickly. Lao Kui should have destroyed the evidence. Now it seems that he can only put the blame on Lao Kui to have a chance of survival.
Gu Huaizhi flatly denied it: "Father, this is a frame-up. With my meager salary, not to mention 100,000 taels of gold, even 10 taels is not enough!"
The emperor angrily slammed the evidence on the table: "It is written in black and white, how can you deny it!"
Gu Huaizhi picked up the paper and looked at it, then said more confidently: "Father, this is not my handwriting. What I did today was controlled by Xue Ruoxue's magic. Otherwise, if I had the courage, I would... I dare not do that either!"
Xu Mo looked at Gu Huaizhi with disdain and asked, "Eldest Prince, you said you didn't know anything about it, so how could it be found in the secret room in your mansion?"
Gu Huaizhi looked at Xu Mo with a confused look on his face, his eyes clear and stupid: "Secret room, where is the secret room, father, I really don't know?"
Su Xiaoxiao raised her chin and looked at Gu Huaizhi: [Oh my God, he is so shameless, I want to see who he is going to blame for these things?]
The emperor was originally furious with Gu Huaizhi, the wimp, but seeing Xiaoxiao eating the melon so seriously, he endured it.
He glanced at Gu Huaizhi and asked in a loud voice: "Since you didn't do this, who could do these things in your house and in your name?"
Gu Huaizhi picked up the evidence again, looked at it carefully and said: "Father, this handwriting is unfamiliar to me. I really don't know.
Lord Xu, you are a genius at solving cases, otherwise could you please check it for me?"
Gu Huaizhi pretended to be crazy and stupid. He was sure that Lao Kui would take all the blame for him.
Xue Ruoxue, who was trapped in the net, suddenly laughed out loud: "Gu Huaizhi, I was so blind that I thought you were a man who valued friendship and loyalty. It turns out that you are more terrifying than those demons and monsters in the Demon Cult."
Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: [What are you investigating? These were all done by him and Lao Kui in collusion. It seems that he wants to push Lao Kui out to take the blame!]
Gu Huaiyu really wanted to tell the emperor and directly bring Lao Kui in for trial, but he didn't know how to start.
The emperor suddenly said, "I heard that there is a coachman in your house who is very popular with you and can walk around freely in your house."
Gu Huaizhi hoped that someone would think of Lao Kui, so he said, "Father, when I was old and had a fever, it was Lao Kui who limped to find a doctor for me. Because of this relationship, I am grateful and respect him more."
Xu Mo cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, when we were searching, Lao Kui resisted and tried to seize evidence. I was brought here with him, and now he is kneeling outside the palace!"
Gu Huaizhi pretended to be serious. "Father, Lao Kui is just a coachman. These things have nothing to do with him. He is like this just because he cares about his son."
Xu Mo immediately said, "But the housekeeper said that he is very suspicious. He usually comes and goes alone and is often not seen for several days. The secret room is directly connected from his cabin to your bedroom, the eldest prince!"
Gu Huaizhi didn't expect that they even found the passage from Lao Kui's secret room to his bedroom. That place is not easy to find. His mind was spinning fast, trying to find a reason to get himself out.
The emperor laughed angrily: "Then call the coachman to ask him, let him die with a clear mind!"
Not long after, Lao Kui was called. He limped and staggered forward.
The emperor asked, "What's the secret room in your house?"
Lao Kui lowered his head and said in a hushed voice, "I dug the secret room when I was free. I often sneaked in to steal valuable things from the eldest prince's room to exchange for wine."
Xu Mo said angrily, "You're lying. You can come and go freely in the eldest prince's house. You just want to take something away. Why bother so much!"
Lao Kui slowly raised his head, and there was no expression on his sad face.
Suddenly, he jumped up, and a long needle appeared in his hand. He flew straight towards the emperor.
Xu Mo felt that something was wrong and shouted, "Protect the emperor!"
But it was too late.
Seeing that the needle was about to pierce the emperor's throat, Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand, and the Moon-Chopping Sword came out of its sheath, piercing Lao Kui's heart.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Lao Kui with wide eyes, thinking: [With your mediocre kung fu, you still want to kill the emperor, you are courting death! ]
Lao Kui vomited blood, and his eyes, which were cloudy just now, became fierce:
"You dog emperor, you killed Li Ji, I will kill you to avenge him!"
Gu Huaizhi acted terrified: "Lao Kui, who are you? You did those things in my name, why do you want to hurt me?"
Lao Kui looked at Gu Huaizhi with satisfaction. This was the person he had trained. He was not a man without poison, and he could sell out anyone as long as he could survive.
He smiled and said, "Yes, do you think I'm just a lame old man? I'm the guardian of the Great Yin Demon Cult. Li Ji and I were in love, but she was forced to come to Dashuo to marry.
I have been lurking in Dashuo for so many years, just wanting to destroy Dashuo with my own hands. These things are all done by me alone, and have nothing to do with the eldest prince!"
After Lao Kui finished speaking, Gu Huaizhi couldn't wait to clarify: "Father, you see, this matter really has nothing to do with me.
Xue Ruoxue is not an ordinary person, she is from the demon world, she used evil magic to control me, so I will use poison to hurt you today, father, please believe me!"
Su Xiaoxiao was simply shattered by Gu Huaizhi's shamelessness. She looked at the emperor and complained in her heart:
【Gu Huaizhi is really good at acting. He tried every possible way to clear himself of all charges. The Emperor must not be fooled by him.
In fact, Gu Huaizhi is not the Emperor's child at all. He is the product of Li Ji and Lao Kui. In order to save his life, they used a disguise technique to make Gu Huaizhi's face look exactly like the Emperor's.
Lao Kui now knocks Gu Huaizhi unconscious once a month to treat his face.】
Zhao Antai looked at Master Tang and found that Master Tang was also busy managing his expression. They didn't expect to get such a big news today.
The Emperor clenched his fists after hearing what Su Xiaoxiao said. He saw Li Ji cheating with her own eyes. However, Gu Huaizhi was already two years old at that time.
He always thought that Li Ji did such a ridiculous thing because she couldn't bear the loneliness, but he didn't expect that Gu Huaizhi was not his son.
He walked angrily in front of Gu Huaizhi, lifted his face furiously, and looked at him carefully.
This face, no matter how you look at it, looks like himself, Xiaoxiao couldn't be mistaken!
Su Xiaoxiao shouted joyfully: [Has the emperor found out? Hurry up, the mechanism to tear off his mask is at the back of his head! ]
