Chapter 176 But you actually deceived my feelings!

As soon as Sikong Yu said this, many people in the court came to plead for him.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Jing has always been law-abiding. I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding."

"Yes, the Japanese are insidious and cunning. Maybe this is their trick! They want to sow discord!"

"Who of us doesn't know what kind of person His Royal Highness Prince Jing is? The Japanese are playing this kind of trick of framing and blaming others on purpose to frame Prince Jing! Their intentions are really vicious!"

Sikong Yu heard these ministers speak for him, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

Sikong Yan thought he could be convicted for stealing those letters?

Dream on!

As long as he insisted that he had no knowledge and put the blame on the Japanese, everyone would curse the Japanese and would only tolerate and sympathize with him as a victim.

Unfortunately, Sikong Yu was wrong this time.

Sikong Yan glanced at the group of ministers who were speaking for Sikong Yu and said with his thin lips, "Since you believe that King Jing was wronged, then sign a collective responsibility agreement. If King Jing is not guilty, you are not guilty too. If it is proved that King Jing sold out the country and collaborated with the enemy, you will be guilty of the same crime as King Jing and will be executed together. How about it?" As

soon as these words came out, the officials who spoke for Sikong Yu shut up

one after another. These old guys just talk without any pain.

But when their interests are really threatened, how dare they stand up?

Sikong Yu could see that Sikong Yan wanted to kill him today.

No!

He would never accept his fate like this!

Thinking of this, he took out the secret agreement with the King of Japan on the ground and unfolded the letter.

"Look everyone, the handprint on this agreement is completely different from my handprint! How could this be signed by me? Your Majesty! You must not listen to one side and be fooled by others!"

He sounded like he was complaining for himself, but in fact he was telling everyone that Sikong Huang blindly believed in such a tenuous evidence and was not worthy of being the king of a country!

When he unfolded the secret letter, everyone found that there were two red "fingerprints" that were a circle larger than the fingerprints on the last line of the secret letter.

"How can anyone in this world have fat and round fingerprints? They must be fake!"

Zhang Huaimin saw that these people were led astray by Sikong Yu again, and immediately shouted, "Lord Zhao and Lord Qian, why do I think this mark doesn't look like a fingerprint, but more like a toe print!"

Sikong Yan immediately cast an approving look at Zhang Huaimin.

The top scholar is indeed the top scholar. He can tell at a glance that there is something wrong with this weird red "handprint"!

In fact, when he got the letter last night, he was also confused.

Why is the shape of the "handprint" on such an important secret agreement so strange?

He couldn't figure it out.

Before going to court, he took the secret letter to see Shen Chaoyan.

From her voice, he learned that the two red "handprints" on the secret letter were not pressed by hand, but were made by Sikong Yu and the King of Japan with their big toes.

No wonder Shen Chaoyan said that without ten years of cerebral thrombosis, such footprints could not be left!

However, we have to admit that Sikong Yu is extremely cautious in this regard.

Who could have thought that they would put toe prints on such an important secret letter?

Even if this secret letter was found out, as long as he refused to admit it, there was really no way to force him to be charged with treason.

Sikong Yan stared at Sikong Yu who was crying out for injustice and sneered, "Someone, take off his socks!"

At this time, Sikong Yu felt that he would definitely be acquitted.

When he heard that Sikong Yan actually asked someone to take off his socks, his face changed on the spot!

He looked at the approaching guards and shouted, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to humiliate me? A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated! If you really suspect that I am colluding with the enemy, why not give me a knife and let me die!"

"No hurry."

Sikong Huang glanced at his anxious expression and tapped the dragon chair with his fingertips. "It won't be too late to give you a knife after the authenticity of this letter is confirmed."

The implication was that death was the inevitable result.

But before he died, he must be convicted of the crime he deserved.

"Your Majesty, I am a prince..."

Sikong Yu was very angry, but Sikong Huang's words stopped him.

"Yes, you are only one step away from the throne. You are really unscrupulous in order to sit on the throne, and you even dare to collude with the Japanese?"

"I didn't..."

"Take off your socks first. If I have wronged you, I will go to Prince Jing's mansion to apologize to you!"

Sikong Yan did not give him a chance to quibble. With a glance, Shen Yushu and General Fan Sheng grabbed one of Sikong Yu's arms and held him.

The guards forcibly took off Sikong Yu's socks, ignored the sour smell from his feet, and compared his right big toe with the red toe print on the secret letter.

Then, he reported to Sikong Yan, "Your Majesty, the toe print on the secret letter is exactly the same as the big toe of King Jing's right foot!"

The guard's voice was sonorous and powerful, and all the civil and military officials present heard it clearly.

They were stunned and simply couldn't believe their ears.

How could it be possible?

King Jing, who has never been ambitious, how could he have the courage to make a deal with Japan and even want to usurp the throne? You can't judge a person by his appearance

!

Isn't it good to be an idle prince?

He has no ability but is delusional, and they are sorry to say good things for him!

He! Tui!

Seeing the reversal of the attitude of this group of people, Sikong Yu was so angry that he wanted to rush up and punch them one by one.

But he couldn't act impulsively, he still had to fight for his chance to survive!

Sikong Yan just wanted his life!

Sikong Yu did not even bother to put on his shoes, and shouted to Sikong Yan, "Your Majesty! I am innocent, I have never seen these letters! Someone is trying to frame me! Please investigate! Clear my name!"

After saying that, he kowtowed his head loudly to Sikong Yan.

Sikong Yan knew that he was not honest and was deliberately setting a trap, "No, I received news that you secretly raised a group of Japanese ninjas and sent them to assassinate me?"

Sikong Yu denied it flatly, "No! I didn't! Your Majesty, there must be someone who wants to harm me, you must not be fooled!"

Sikong Yan knew that he would definitely not admit it, so he simply gave him another drastic measure, "No? I captured a group of ninjas before, and one of them confessed that you promised her that if you succeeded, you would marry her in the future and promise her a life of wealth and glory!"

Sikong Yu raised three fingers, "Your Majesty! I hate these short and ugly Japanese people the most! Especially Japanese women, each one is scarier than a toad! Even if I were blind, I would never fall in love with Japanese women, let alone marry them!"

Before he finished speaking, a woman dressed as a ninja rushed into the hall.

Her clothes were torn in several places, and the exposed flesh was still bleeding, obviously she had been whipped.

But she seemed to feel no pain at all, and stared at Sikong Yu who was kneeling in the hall with hatred on her face.

"Mr. Sikong, it turns out that you have been lying to me? Why? Why?"

Sikong Yu clearly heard from the spies yesterday that Sikong Yan had executed all the captured ninjas.

Therefore, he was fearless today, believing that Sikong Yan could not produce any evidence.

He never thought that Qiu Youyan Ji was not dead at all!

At this moment, his eyes were wide open, his expression was full of disbelief, "How could you..."

Qiu Youyanji's eyes were red, and when she met his gaze, her fists were stiff, "For you, I risked my life to assassinate your emperor! Even if I was arrested and tortured, I didn't give you up! What about you? You are full of lies! You have completely cut off our relationship! If you only want my life, I will give it to you! But you actually deceived my feelings!!!"
