Chapter 850: Settlement of Accounts



It was so shocking that all the civil and military officials were so frightened that they were speechless.

How did the Cheng family's mine become yours? Or was it given away by Old Master Cheng himself to save Cheng Sang's life?

Why?

What capital crime did Cheng Sang commit that Your Majesty wanted to kill her? In addition, Your Majesty just said that his brother was dead, but these three people from the mine jumped out and said that Your Majesty's brother had been imprisoned by Your Majesty for thirty years.

Whose words are true?

The King of Southern Xinjiang looked at Su Xiaoxiao with uncontrollable anger.

Endless murderous intent flashed in his eyes, mixed with a hint of shock.

He seemed to have not expected that this girl was also involved in the incident.

Aren't she and the Saint incompatible? Now they are venting their anger through one nostril?

And these three useless things betrayed themselves so easily! The three big officials felt the murderous aura of the King of Southern Xinjiang, and they trembled even more.

No matter how they acted arrogantly in the mine in the past, they have been disciplined by the Wei brothers in the past few days.

What's more, they were forced to testify against the ruler of a country. If they lost, the one sitting on the throne would execute them.

If they win, the one in the mine who sits on the throne will not let go of the three of them who have neglected him for many years.

They were put on fire...

The civil and military officials had different thoughts. After the great shock, they all involuntarily turned their eyes to the man in the cloak.

The look and condition of this person show that he has not seen the sun for many years.

If you don't believe it, you can take a walk around the prison cells of the government office. Those who have been imprisoned for many years are not only dirtier than him, but also look like they came from the underworld.

So at least they could be sure of one thing - he had been imprisoned.

Xie Jinnian looked at Su Xiaoxiao and spoke again: "Documents can be forged, and so can account books."

Su Xiaoxiao met his scrutiny and said slowly, "With so many knowledgeable ministers in the hall, it shouldn't be difficult to identify the authenticity of the documents and account books, right?"

Xie Jinnian looked at her indifferently.

The Queen Mother said sternly, "Lord Zhang, Lord Liu, Lord Sun, Grand Tutor Zhang! Please take a look at these things!"

The four people who were named gritted their teeth and started the inspection in public.

Su Xiaoxiao was even more considerate and took out two abacuses from her bag: "Here."

Four adults: "..."

It was impossible to check all of them as it was too time-consuming, so the four of them randomly selected a few books for spot checking.

The result is that there are no signs of aging, no mismatching accounts, and no copied brushwork.

And judging from the four account books that were randomly checked, the Cheng family's mine did indeed deliver a lot of iron ore to the court free of charge, and even some weapons that Su Xiaoxiao deliberately did not mention.

The four of them flipped through a few more books and found that there was indeed a large amount of His Majesty's income, as well as a lot of minerals embezzled by the three great officials.

In comparison, the Cheng family’s income is indeed not worth mentioning.

It seems that the Cheng family’s mines are indeed controlled by Your Majesty.

If the three great officials did not lie and this man was indeed imprisoned in the mine, then it could only be your Majesty's idea.

It's impossible that the three of them would have the guts to imprison the king of a country.

Don’t say they don’t know each other. After so many years, the two still look so alike. They must have looked even more alike back then.

The first time they see that person, they will definitely shout "Your Majesty".

Now it is uncertain who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother? Su Xiaoxiao looked at the King of Southern Xinjiang and said, "Your Majesty on the throne, today's evidence is just the tip of the iceberg. If you want, I have more. Or, you can take the Queen Mother and the civil and military officials to the Cheng family's mine to take a look!"

The King of Southern Xinjiang said sternly: "What nonsense! It's all nonsense! This is a conspiracy of your Cheng family! If it is true as you said, and I took his throne, why don't I cut off the roots?!"

Civil and military officials nodded repeatedly.

That’s right, their Majesty is not a person who is indecisive. If he really takes over the magpie’s nest, there will be no way he will not eliminate the trouble forever.

Su Xiaoxiao was not intimidated by his anger and said fearlessly: "Because you have a strange disease, you need his blood as a medicine, once a month! Without him, you will die!"

The sound of people gasping for air was heard again in the hall.

The Queen Mother felt dizzy and her body swayed.

Zong Zhenghui quickly stood up and supported her: "Mother!"

It is heartbreaking for a mother to hear that her son has been imprisoned for many years, but what kind of abuse and torture is it to have his blood drawn for many years?

It turned out that the sentence that he had wanted to end his life countless times was not meant to win her sympathy.

He really wants to be free as soon as possible.

The Queen Mother's tears fell.

The King of Southern Xinjiang said: "Mother, don't listen to these people's nonsense!"

Su Xiaoxiao said sarcastically, "It's not me who is talking nonsense, it's you! Speaking of your illness, Cheng Su is not talented, but I know a little about the art of medicine. I have read your medical records, and in fact, you are not sick at all! You don't need your brothers' blood as a medicine guide, you have a heart disease!

"You must have suffered a lot in the civilian world. When you heard that you were actually the younger brother of the current emperor, were you surprised at first? But after the surprise, your mind gradually became distorted. You wondered why you were abandoned instead of him? You began to be jealous and began to hate him. You wanted to kill him, but you felt that it was too easy for him. It would be better to return to him ten times or a hundred times the suffering you endured in the civilian world, and let him live a life worse than death. Only in this way can you feel the pleasure of revenge. The above are your evil thoughts.

"But you are conflicted. He is your brother, and what happened was not his choice. You showed up with a purpose, but he trusted and loved you without reservation. Killing such a brother would condemn your last bit of conscience. So you thought, let him live, at least let him live, I didn't kill him, it was my mercy.

“When you have evil thoughts, you are unwilling to admit your evil; when you are struggling, you are unwilling to accept your own womanly kindness.

"Just like that, you are sick, you need his blood, and your evil thoughts and struggles are all justified."

The hall fell silent again.

This time, he was not shocked by the secret revealed by Su Xiaoxiao, but by her amazing talent in analyzing the matter in detail.

If she made it up, that's pretty amazing.

There are absolutely no flaws.

It would be even more amazing if it wasn't made up.

The three elders and Zhang Taifu: Damn it! I really want to accept you as my disciple! The King of Southern Xinjiang said fiercely: "Fake! All fake! No matter where you got these so-called evidences, my brother was buried in the belly of a beast more than 30 years ago! Don't deceive me! Don't deceive the Queen Mother! Imperial Guards, listen to my orders, take them down! Those who disobey my orders will be killed!"

The commotion was so loud that the Imperial Guards had already been waiting outside on full alert.

After receiving the order, the Imperial Guards immediately dispatched archers, and a whole row of bows and arrows were aimed at Su Xiaoxiao and her group.

The Queen Mother looked at the King of Southern Xinjiang with grief and anger: "Are you going to kill your own brother?"

The King of Southern Xinjiang said sternly: "The Queen Mother has been poisoned, take her back to the palace!"

The Queen Mother shouted with red eyes: "I won't leave! Kill me first if you have the guts!"

A royal guard came before the Queen Mother and tried to take her away by force.

Su Xiaoxiao kicked the man down and said, "Who do you think you are? You are not worthy of touching the Queen Mother!"

With the Queen Mother here, the Imperial Guards didn't dare to shoot and had to capture Su Xiaoxiao and a few others first.

Several guards rushed towards Su Xiaoxiao and Zong Zhenghui.

Pick the weak and squeeze the weak. Catching this woman and that frail man, half of the problem is solved.

But before they could touch the corner of Su Xiaoxiao's clothes, they were whipped away by the saint.

A few guards are naturally no match for the saint.

But at this moment, a dark-clothed secret guard suddenly flew out from the aisle beside the King of Southern Xinjiang and headed straight for Su Xiaoxiao.

The saint sensed the danger to her master, stepped forward, blocked Su Xiaoxiao behind her, and hit the other party with a whip.

She never expected that the other party actually caught her whip.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned.

The one who can withstand the Saint's attack is not an ordinary secret guard.

Just as the saint was fighting with the opponent, another dark-clothed secret guard came over using his lightness skills.

He grabbed the Queen Mother's shoulders and led her out of the Golden Throne Hall! Zong Zhenghui's face changed drastically: "Mother!"

Su Xiaoxiao finally guessed the identities of the two black-robed secret guards.

They are the ghost guards around the King of Southern Xinjiang!

"So strong..." Su Xiaoxiao murmured, while protecting Zong Zhenghui, she looked at the Saint who was fighting with the Ghost Shadow Guard.

The saint's injuries have not healed yet.

But it seems that he is not at a disadvantage.

Both of them are top masters, but the saint's martial arts are even better.

Su Xiaoxiao felt like she had found a treasure.

I'll make a few more boxes of snacks for Lingyun later.

Well… three boxes, no more.

We can’t turn the handsome master of the three little ones into Ling Xiaozhu.

Swish, swish, swish! The archers outside the hall shot arrows at them.

The ministers retreated to the wall for fear of getting hurt.

Su Xiaoxiao had already put on silver gloves and caught three arrows in each hand.

As the extra arrows flew towards her, the Saint who had killed a Ghost Guard dropped from the sky and landed in front of her.

The saint waved her whip and killed more than ten arrows.

With another swing, she shot the arrow back like a hidden weapon.

The archers were all shot away, screaming and falling to the ground! When the Saint was beaten by Wei Xu, she almost thought that the Saint's ability was not so amazing.

It turned out that it was just that her father-in-law was too powerful. If it weren't for her father-in-law, the saint would be the number one master in the capital.

Even if he is injured, he may not have the strength to sustain it for too long.

The fighting became more and more intense, and the ministers were evacuated to the aisles on both sides.

The civil servants wanted to save their lives, but they couldn't help but stick their heads out out of curiosity.

Some generals loyal to the King of Southern Xinjiang also joined the ranks to capture Su Xiaoxiao and her group.

The pressure on the saint increased invisibly.

A general picked up the sword on the ground and stabbed Su Xiaoxiao.

The saint was entangled and had no time to attack, so she could only use her body to block.

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the opponent's sword with one hand, bent it with the backhand, and chopped it back!

Su Xiaoxiao said to the Saint: "Don't get hurt either."

The saint said expressionlessly: "Yes."

Such a good puppet must be used with care.

But no matter how good the saint is at fighting, she cannot withstand thousands of troops.

Five thousand imperial guards have assembled.

However, just as they were about to break into the Golden Palace to protect the emperor, a riot suddenly broke out at the palace gate.

A guard vomited blood and fell into the Golden Throne Hall: "Your Majesty! The two major tribes of Qinglong and Fuhu are coming to attack us!"

The fight begins.
