Chapter 178: Achievements That Shock the Master
"Your Majesty, it is me." In response to the emperor's inquiry, Lin Wenxing behaved respectfully and gracefully.
His calm and polite attitude is very admirable.
"I have two copies of 'General's Strategy' in my hands, but the contents are very different. As the author, you should be able to tell which one is the original one."
Emperor Beiling pointed at the two books on the table and motioned Lin Wenxing to come forward to identify them.
Lin Wenxing walked forward calmly, and when he passed by Wang Changqing, he glanced at him quickly, his eyes revealing deep hatred!
Wang Changqing's heart was shocked and he felt inexplicably uneasy. He was about to open his mouth to stop him, but he was met with Xiao Zhan's unfathomable gaze!
Prince Gong, who usually always greeted people with a smile, still had a smile on his face at this moment, but his eyes were as cold as the abyss!
Wang Changqing was so shocked by this powerful aura that he was silent. It was the first time that he felt such a chilling aura from this suave prince!
This kind of powerful aura is difficult for both Xiao Li and Xiao Yan to achieve. Even the current emperor has never given him such a sense of oppression!
The imperial aura is like that of a real dragon descending!
"Your Majesty," Lin Wenxing's voice broke the brief silence, "This is my original manuscript."
Lin Wenxing flipped through two books and then took the one handed to him by Jiang Xue.
"Hey, young man, look carefully at this. Is this really your manuscript?" There was a knife hidden in Xiao Li's eyes, which were full of threats.
Where did this guy come from? Didn’t Wang Changqing guarantee that it was foolproof?
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I have a handwritten manuscript here that you can have a look at."
As he spoke, Lin Wenxing took out a stack of manuscripts and put them on the table. Beiling Emperor took the manuscripts and compared them. Hey, the contents of this manuscript and Jiang Xue's book are exactly the same!
"Master Wang, it seems that someone has tampered with your book."
The words of Emperor Beiling were like a judge's hammer, finalizing the outcome. The anger originally directed at the Marquis of Zhenbei was suddenly transferred to Wang Changqing, and his eyes were full of suspicion and amusement.
Wang Changqing was completely confused. He didn't expect Lin Wenxing to appear at the critical moment and disrupt his and Xiao Li's plans!
Xiao Li was so angry that he wanted to eat Lin Wenxing alive. How dare this wild boy who came out of nowhere ruin his plan!
Hehe, Your Highness Prince Li, don’t be impatient, the best is yet to come.
Jiang Xue saw it, smiled secretly, and winked at Lin Wenxing.
Lin Wenxing knelt down without saying a word and kowtowed several times to Emperor Beiling.
"Please, Your Majesty, make the decision!"
This voice full of grievance shocked everyone in the yard.
Emperor Beiling frowned. A commoner crying out for justice in public must have suffered a great injustice.
This matter has to be resolved under the watchful eyes of the public.
"Get up first and tell me what happened in detail."
Emperor Beiling looked concerned and motioned for Lin Wenxing to stand up.
“Your Majesty, I was originally a teacher in the countryside. Because of an article I wrote that attracted attention, I was tricked into coming to Yujing City, locked up in a room, and threatened my family to force me to write “General’s Strategy”.
They asked me to write the Marquis of Zhenbei as a man with wolfish ambitions and ungrateful intentions, and wanted to use the emperor to get rid of him! But my conscience was against it, and I didn't dare to alienate the emperor from his subjects, so I had to agree on the surface and wrote the manuscript according to my own ideas in private.
Who knew that once the book was published, the man discovered something was wrong and not only harmed my family, he also wanted to kill me to silence me! Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Gong happened to pass by and heard my cry for help, so I was able to save my life!"
Lin Wenxing told everything, crying as he spoke, mixing truth and lies together, which made him seem sincere and achieved Jiang Xue's goal.
As Emperor Beiling listened, his expression became increasingly gloomy.
When he heard that someone wanted to use him to deal with Marquis Zhenbei, his anger surged again!
"This is outrageous!" Emperor Beiling slapped the table so hard that it made a clanging sound. This time his anger was several times stronger than before!
Jiang Xue glanced and saw Wang Changqing's face was pale. Xiao Li clenched his fists and laughed secretly in his heart. Your Highness, if you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, you have to see if this knife is willing to let you borrow it.
The control desire and self-esteem of Emperor Beiling are no joke. He hates being used as a pawn the most. This is related to the emperor's face. Now that Lin Wenxing said this, isn't it a slap in the face of Emperor Beiling in public?
If he had really killed the Marquis of Zhenbei in a rage, wouldn't that have made him a laughing stock in the whole capital? People would say that he believed everything he heard, and that he was foolish enough to let others lead him by the nose! This would be more embarrassing than being too successful to be tolerated!
"Tell me! Who is that person behind you?"
Emperor Beiling's eyes turned red, and he looked frighteningly ferocious!
"Your Majesty, Young Master Lin has just been pulled back from the brink of death, and he is still in fear. The murderer may be nearby now. What if he holds a grudge and kills to silence the witness..." Jiang Xue spoke slowly, paying attention to Emperor Beiling's reaction.
"He dares!" Emperor Beiling roared, "Speak now! I guarantee that you will not die! From now on, you are a member of the Dali Temple! Let's see who dares to touch you!"
The Dali Temple is independent of all factions and specializes in solving cases. No one dares to touch anyone from the Dali Temple. The Dali Temple does not take sides, so it is a tough nut to crack!
With the words of Emperor Beiling, Lin Wenxing quickly thanked him and pointed at Wang Changqing beside him: "Your Majesty, the man who imprisoned me and forced me to write a book is him!"
Wang Changqing felt dizzy. Lin Wenxing, who should have been dead, was not only saved by Xiao Zhan, but also ran to the palace villa to complain!
Originally, Xiao Li planned to have Emperor Beiling come to stage a good show to dismiss Marquis Zhenbei, but in the end, Marquis Zhenbei was fine, but he himself suffered a setback!
He underestimated Jiang Xue! He didn't expect her to be so scheming and resourceful!
When the Queen reminded him before, he thought he was worrying too much, but now it seems that this woman cannot be kept!
"Wang Changqing!" Emperor Beiling called out his name, frightening Wang Changqing to his knees, kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, calm down. I am innocent! I don't even know this person! Why did he frame me?"
"I don't know him?" Jiang Xue sneered, lowered her head and asked Lin Wenxing: "Mr. Lin, what do you have to say?"
Lin Wenxing glared at Wang Changqing with anger in his eyes. When he thought of the tragic deaths of the old and young in his family, he wished he could kill him with his own hands!
"Your Majesty, I once met Lord Wang in private school. I remember that Lord Wang had a dark scar on his right wrist that looked like a centipede!"
"Someone, come and take a look." Emperor Beiling ordered the eunuch to pull open Wang Changqing's sleeve. Ouch, there really was the centipede scar that Lin Wenxing mentioned on the inside of his wrist!
"Wang Changqing, you deceived His Majesty. This crime will punish your whole family!"
When Emperor Beiling roared, Wang Changqing shook like a sieve.
"Father, it's just a scar. What can it prove? Everyone has a few scars on their body. It's a stretch to blame Lord Wang just based on this!"
