Chapter 169, Hard evidence
As soon as the man came in, he said with red eyes that he wanted to kill Jing'an Hou.
"Jing'an Hou, do you recognize these two people?" The emperor had a stern face and a serious tone.
"Your Majesty, I don't know who they are!" Jing'an Hou hurriedly lowered his head!
"Don't know? You killed my whole family to take the blame for Xu Bo's family, and you said you don't know who I am?" Xu Daniu's eyes were red. If it weren't for the man next to him holding him back, he would have rushed up to kill Jing'an Hou.
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged! I want to sue Marquis Jing'an for deceiving the king. I want to sue him for taking human lives and killing my family of three, so that I can take the blame for Xu Bo!"ＷＷw.lＩｎＧㄚùＴχτ.nét
"I was only three years old at the time. I went home from playing and found that my whole family was dead. It was Marquis Jing'an who killed people and led the troops out of the village! No one in our village dared to help me. I took the ashes of my father and my brothers and sisters to report to the authorities. As a result, the government said that my family kidnapped the princess and they all deserved to die!"
"My father and I depend on each other for survival. It is difficult for me to support my brothers and sisters. How could I kidnap the princess! Later, I found out that it was Xu Bo's family who kidnapped the princess. The beautiful aunt they had locked up in the small dark room was the princess!"
"My family of three took the blame for them!"
"I have nowhere to file a complaint, please Your Majesty, please help me!"
He had been helpless and helpless since he was three years old. He became a beggar and was almost beaten to death. It was hard for him to even survive.
How could he have the chance to meet the emperor?
If someone hadn't found him after investigating the unjust case, he might have been a laborer in the mines and then oppressed to death!
"You are talking nonsense. I don't know you..." The words stopped abruptly.
Jing'an Hou's eyes widened, he couldn't say a word!
Because Xu Daniu had a piece of cloth in his hand.
It was the hem of his official robe when he was on duty.
Xu Daniu cursed, "I found this in my father's hands. He must have knelt down and cried and grabbed you, begging you to let my brother and sister go, but you..."
The hem of this official robe is made of fabric that ordinary people cannot find. The silk thread on it is also used exclusively by officials appointed by the court!
The hem fabric was presented to the emperor, and Eunuch Yu also confirmed that this was the hem of the court official.
Eunuch Yu said, "Your Majesty, this matter is simple. Let Marquis Jing'an find the official robe from 20 years ago for comparison, and you will know!"
Marquis Jing'an collapsed to the ground, his eyes dull.
"Why bother so much, Your Majesty, the two brothers and sisters I brought today are the children of the Xu family who were protected by Marquis Jing'an back then!"
The eldest princess said.
"You...slander..."
Marquis Jing'an trembled all over, he was extremely scared.
He could only stare at Xu Rourou, threatening her not to say anything.
But the princess was prepared and said to her, "Xu Rourou, you can't lie, your son is still waiting for you!"
Xu Rourou shuddered when she heard this.
She cried and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I am Xu Bo's daughter. It was Marquis Jing'an who helped my family escape and move. All the money in my family was given by Marquis Jing'an. I dare not lie. I plead guilty!"
"My father lied to Marquis Jing'an that I am the blood of the princess. In order to surrender to the princess and get benefits, Marquis Jing'an protected my family for twenty years..."
She kowtowed hard, and the dry brown blood on her face was washed away by tears. The floor was mixed with her blood, leaving a bright red.
She was really scared.
She was afraid that Huaishan would die because of her, and she was afraid that she would live a life worse than death!
At least! If
she confessed, she could still keep the child!
Jing'an Hou felt pain in his heart. He covered his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed Xu Rourou,
"You are so ungrateful..."
He had protected their family for so many years and raised their family of three for almost twenty years.
As a result, he was accused by Xu Rourou!
It dealt him a fatal blow!
This statement was undoubtedly a tacit agreement.
He would definitely be dismissed and investigated, and his title would be stripped and imprisoned.
What to do, what to do?
At this time.
Minister Liu walked slowly into Yu's study, and he said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, considering that Jing'an Hou saved this old minister, please don't let him live!"
Jing'an Hou's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Old Liu, Old Liu, I know you are grateful, please help me beg for mercy."
Minister Liu's family is too good, as long as you give a little favor, they will be open-hearted to you.
This is also the reason why he took advantage of Minister Liu's character.
"Oh, it's Marquis Jing'an, is your hearing not working well?"
"Didn't you say you would come to my grave to explain, how about I go to your grave to explain some other day?"
Minister Liu smiled, he held his head and looked around.
It seemed like he really had a brain injury.
Marquis Jing'an smiled stiffly, "Old Liu, you are really out of your mind. I am fine in front of you."
"I am fine now, but it may not be the case in the future. It is true that I, Old Liu, know how to repay kindness, but I will take revenge even more!"
Minister Liu flicked his sleeves and turned to report to the emperor, "I want to report Marquis Jing'an for colluding with bandits, kidnapping court officials, and disrupting the court. His crimes are unforgivable!"
"You..." How did you know?
Marquis Jing'an felt a chill all over his body.
Could it be that this matter was also...
Just then, the man next to Xu Daniu took out a piece of gold and replied,
"Your Majesty, this is the evidence that Marquis Jing'an bribed my father to kidnap Minister Liu! My father was a bandit near Xujia Village. After the incident, Marquis Jing'an killed my father..."
Eunuch Yu recognized the gold ingot.
There was a word of Marquis Jing'an's Mansion engraved on the bottom. It was a reward from the late emperor. No one would use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Marquis Jing'an sent troops to suppress the bandits on the pretext that the bandits had robbed the marquis's gifts!
But the gold used to bribe the bandits was the only thing they could not find.
Unexpectedly, the bandit leader had hidden it and left it to his son!
"This was stolen by you bandits!" It was a very good excuse.
"I knew you would say that!" The man sneered and took out a few letters,
"This is the letter that Marquis Jing'an exchanged with my father when he planned the kidnapping. All the procedures are written in it! Your Majesty will know by comparing the handwriting!"
Eunuch Yu hurriedly presented it, and even helped the emperor to compare Marquis Jing'an's memorial!
The handwriting matched!
The emperor was furious, he stood up and smashed the memorial hard on Marquis Jing'an's face!
"You! How dare you kidnap an official appointed by the court! Do you know that because you kidnapped Minister Liu, the court's important affairs were delayed! The harmful substances from South Vietnam were about to be found, but you kidnapped Minister Liu to delay the opportunity. You deserve to die!"
He had never been so angry before.
Even the "川" pattern between his eyebrows was as deep as an axe.
When Minister Liu and the Ministry of Justice were investigating the matter of the happy powder, there was a sign that something was about to happen. On the way to collect evidence, Minister Liu was kidnapped!
As a result, the court failed to catch the thieves who sent the happy powder, and this thing continued to harm the Great Xia Dynasty for 20 years!
How many people were misled and took the happy powder, and suffered unbearable pain and their families were broken up.
The court also spent a lot of money to build special rehabilitation centers to help the people get rid of the control of the drug.
Some people who are extremely addicted even commit suicide because they can't quit.
Even if a person who is deeply addicted quits, he will be devastated and become a useless person!
Because of this, the court has spent a lot of money to catch and investigate many times!
This thing is the foundation of destroying a country and a cancer among the people!
Those who are infected and those who sell it will be convicted!
There is no humanity at all!
But Marquis Jing'an delayed such a big thing for his own selfish desires and to make Minister Liu owe him a favor!
He really deserves to die!
