Chapter 293 Is it really wrong? The
person who spoke was Su Changhe. Su Changhe walked over with big strides, staring at Cai Zhenglin with his eyes aggressively, and asked:
"Master Cai was the county magistrate in Quanzhou, right? I wonder if Master Cai still remembers Miss Wu from the Wu family's silk manor in Quanzhou?"
Cai Zhenglin's face turned pale and he denied it flatly: "It's been too long, I can't remember anything!"
"Master Cai, are you so forgetful? You abused Miss Wu, she committed suicide out of shame, and Master Wu went to you to argue, but was beaten to death. You don't even remember such a big thing?"
Su Changhe pressed on with every word, step by step, and Cai Zhenglin had no way to avoid it and retreated again and again.
"Then you don't know that Uncle Wu and his wife sold all their property and went all the way to the capital to seek
justice for their children, how about I let him come and talk to you?" Hearing that Uncle Wu was still alive, Cai Zhenglin became more and more panicked. Didn't Zhou Shian say that everything had been handled?
He suddenly realized that if Zhou Shian wanted to use him, he would not let him get away with it once and for all. He
didn't want to fight anymore. When he was young and ignorant, he saw that the girl from the Wu family was so pretty and beautiful, and he had evil intentions.
But who knew that the girl was so strong and committed suicide when she returned.
The young master of the Wu family came to cause trouble, and he didn't want to hurt anyone, but the man wanted to fight him to death, and he accidentally beat the man to death.
It was at this time that Zhou Shian appeared, and I will take care of everything for him.
After that, this incident did not affect him any more, but he had to pay back what he owed Zhou Shian.
As he grew older, Cai Zhenglin really wanted to be a good official, and he had no interest in fighting for power and succession, but he had already boarded the pirate ship and had no choice.
Now that the matter was exposed, he did not have to pretend anymore.
Cai Zhenglin confessed everything and revealed Zhou's conspiracy.
Finally, he pleaded, "Your Majesty, I know that I am guilty of an unforgivable crime, but my father knew nothing about this matter. I beg Your Majesty to judge me!"
The emperor just raised his hand and ordered, "Put Cai Zhenlin in the Dali Temple jail and decide on a day to sentence him!"
After Cai Zhenglin was taken away, Lin Feng reported, "Your Majesty, the Zhou family's villa has been confiscated, and the rare birds and beasts inside have all been seized and handed over to the Beast Protection Department for supervision.
That courtyard is magnificent and there are countless rare treasures inside. Please decide how to deal with it!"
The emperor sneered, "For decades, the Dashuo treasury has been empty. It was not until Xiaoxiao discovered it that Jinshan began to improve.
They are so good , arrogant and extravagant, arrange for the people from the Ministry of Revenue to go and count and check the boxes and send them to the national treasury!"
After the emperor finished speaking, Lin Feng said again: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Zhou Shi'an's son Zhou Liang fell off a cliff while riding in a carriage from the villa last night, and his body has not been found yet.
I checked the cause and found out that it was Lord Zhou who ordered his subordinates to make it look like an accident!"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Zhou Shi'an wanted to silence Brother Pei and my brother, but how come it was his own son who died? It's really retribution!"
After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he thought to himself: [If you want my brother's life, then let you taste the feeling of losing your son. Anyway, they are all evil guys!
Su Changhe and Su Bowen looked at Su Xiaoxiao at the same time. This was Xiaoxiao's work again. Su
Changhe was relieved, but Su Bowen was just worried. Xiaoxiao was too opinionated. She could decide other people's life and death at such a young age.
Although Zhou Liang was extremely evil, it was a life after all. Su Bowen secretly decided to guide Xiaoxiao well in the future and never let her act so recklessly.
The truth of the matter was clear. The emperor wanted to use Zhou to suppress the queen, but it fueled Zhou's arrogance and aroused their desire to seize the throne. They slapped the emperor hard.
The emperor felt exhausted, waved his hand and said: "Lin Feng, take people to seal up the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, and hand over the relevant people to Xu Mo for disposal!"
After that, he asked everyone to leave.
Looking at the exhausted emperor, Su Xiaoxiao no longer had the same concern as before.
She took Su Bowen's hand and said: "Father, the emperor is tired, let's go back!"
But in her heart, she sighed: [No wonder the emperor Dashuo was easily grasped by Gu Huaizhi, Your Majesty, it's really disappointing! ]
After leaving the Qinzheng Hall, Su Xiaoxiao saw the prince not far away, so she left Su Bowen and ran over.
She shouted enthusiastically: "Crown Prince!"
Gu Huaiyu rubbed her head and said: "Xiaoxiao, the Zhenguo Mansion has been wronged, don't blame father, he just thinks too much!"
[Isn't it too much to think about it? Now is a good time to develop national strength, but the emperor is suspicious of this and that. He thinks everyone is interested in his throne. If he didn't make trouble, Zhou wouldn't be so presumptuous.
Will everyone change after becoming an emperor? When the crown prince becomes emperor in the future, will he not trust anyone? ]
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look at Gu Huaiyu.
Gu Huaiyu smiled, he squatted down, his eyes were level with Su Xiaoxiao, and he said solemnly: "Xiaoxiao, the prince brother will always believe in Xiaoxiao."
Su Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and thought: [The prince brother is so scary, he has seen through my thoughts again, run away quickly, if he knows that I don't like the emperor uncle that much, he will be sad! ]
Su Xiaoxiao thought, and ran quickly to Su Bowen's side.
Gu Huaiyu nodded slightly to Su Bowen, and Su Bowen also gave him a reassuring look, and took Su Xiaoxiao and Su Changhe out of the palace.
They walked a long way away, but Gu Huaiyu was still stunned there. He was thinking about Xiaoxiao's words. Will a person change when he becomes an emperor?
He was trained to be an emperor since he was a child. Will he become like his father in the future? Wary of everyone, putting interests first in all relationships, and even wary of his own children.
No, he doesn't want this. He wants to be a wise ruler like his great-grandfather, and he doesn't want Xiaoxiao to think of him with only disappointment.
With a goal in mind, Gu Huaiyu even walked more briskly, as he still had a lot to learn. But
the emperor at this time was walking with difficulty. He stood alone on the high tower, looking at the capital city in the lights.
He had never felt so lonely before, even when he knew that the puppet army of Da Yin was invincible and Da Shuo was facing the destruction of the country, he did not feel so lonely.
At that time, Su Bowen said that he would be the first line of defense for Da Shuo.
The emperor thought about a lot, and finally thought of Queen Qi, who used to be so bright and passionate, but now she doesn't even smile.
Did he really do something wrong? But he is the emperor, he has to weigh the pros and cons, he has to make plans.
Yang Shun followed the emperor quietly, waiting for his order.
Sure enough, the emperor spoke.
