Chapter 361 Wang Fugui was arrested
The emperor thought that this time he was almost certain to seize the Hou family.
I didn’t expect that the Hou family only had a few houses damaged, and not only were the people harmed, but even the charges against them were almost cleared.
The emperor looked at Wang Fugui with a gloomy face: "What else do you have to say?"
Wang Fugui opened his mouth.
He found that no matter what he said, it was wrong.
The minister on good terms with the Hou family saw the opportunity and stepped forward. "Your Majesty, Lord Wang is so eager to convict the Hou family that he even resorted to such means and even spoke nonsense in the Golden Palace. There must be something fishy going on, Your Majesty. I implore Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation of the Wang family and bring justice to those who have been wronged."
The tide turned instantly.
The Wang family, who was in charge of the interrogation, became the guilty party.
Countless people looked at Hou Yuanji who was still crying, and their eyes changed instantly.
Could it be that all of this was planned by Hou Yuanji?
Impossible, is this still the good-for-nothing dude?
Even if Mr. Hou came in person, he would not be able to fool Wang Fugui.
"Take it away, take it away."
The veins on the emperor's forehead bulged, and the armrest was almost broken by the beating. "Examine him strictly. I don't want to see him again."
His grand plan ended before it even began.
The guards who were guarding outside the palace, preparing to capture Hou Yuanji, rushed in and captured Wang Fugui instead.
What happened recently?
They just arrested the previous leader yesterday, and today, as soon as the leader was replaced, they arrested him again.
Lu Wanyin felt relieved when she saw the guard's expression when he took Wang Fugui away.
She couldn't help but take out a bag of melon seeds from the space, looked at the people below, and put it down with regret.
Damn it, it’s such a great show but I can’t eat melon seeds.
The hand holding the cloth bag was touched.
Lu Wanyin turned her head and saw Xie Jingci take the bag from her hand and take out a melon seed.
Wrap the melon seeds in the palm of your hand and shake it gently.
The shells shattered into powder and fell to the ground, leaving only the intact melon seeds.
Lu Wanyin was stunned: "Such melon seeds have no soul."
While lip-syncing, she still took the melon seeds with her hand.
Something is better than nothing.
Lu Wanyin looked at the people below with great interest.
The fun continues.
Wang Fugui was taken away, and just when the officials thought that the matter was finally coming to an end.
After a short rest, Hou Yuanji once again said, "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to report."
The emperor frowned and suddenly had a bad premonition.
He had no time to stop it. Hou Yuanji had already started: "Wang Fugui is so eager to slander me this time, just because I know something about the Wang family."
Hou Yuanji kowtowed heavily, "I want to report that the Wang family and the Chenyang Marquisate are colluding with Shui Yu to disrupt the Dasheng state. I was ordered to escort the criminals and accidentally discovered this, and Wang Fugui became murderous."
All the civil and military officials took a deep breath.
No, my brain is not enough.
This is happening a little too fast, isn't it?
Marquis Chenyang, who was originally watching the show on the side, was thinking about whether to abandon his daughter Lu Xiangrou, when the anger suddenly spread to himself.
He suddenly became anxious: "You, are talking nonsense."
This shrill voice gave goosebumps to everyone present.
Everyone looked at the pale-faced, beardless old man of Chen Yang Hou with strange expressions, and almost couldn't help laughing out loud in this serious occasion.
He is now even more eunuch than the eunuchs in the palace.
Hou Yuanji's facial muscles twitched and he almost couldn't hold it together.
He pinched himself hard: "No
Since there is no such thing, in front of His Majesty, can you please tell me why Wang Fugui went to Chenyang Marquis Mansion alone in the middle of the night to plot?
Why did Lu Xiangrou, who had no contact with Wang Fugui, suddenly marry into the Wang family?
The Wang family has always been very concerned about reputation, so why would they marry Lu Xiangrou despite such a scandal?
Lu Wanyin secretly gave Hou Yuanji a thumbs up.
Well done, you are indeed the dandy of the capital.
They tell lies with a clear conscience.
Marquis Chenyang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, I have no idea why Wang Fugui suddenly visited me at night. As for the engagement, it is truly a misunderstanding, Your Majesty. Since the two young men are already husband and wife, it is only natural that they should get married."
"have no idea"
Hou Yuanji's voice suddenly rose: "Your Majesty, Marquis Chenyang actually said he didn't know about such an important matter.
Why did Wang Fugui choose to go to Chenyang Marquis's Mansion in the middle of the night instead of looking for anyone else?
Hou Yuanji said, his emotions becoming more and more excited: "I..."
Something seemed to be flickering in my peripheral vision.
Hou Yuanji took a casual look, his voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes widened.
On the beam, Lu Wanyin was waving at him.
Seeing him looking at her, Lu Wanyin showed him a piece of paper and said, "Well done, go ahead and do whatever you want. I'll take care of it if anything goes wrong."
When everyone saw Hou Yuanji suddenly fell silent, they subconsciously followed his gaze and looked towards the beams.
There's nothing.
What is he looking at?
After hanging above the beams for a while, Lu Wanyin and the other person appeared again.
Hou Yuanji didn't dare to look over here again, and his body straightened unconsciously.
Isn't this the confidence?
"His Majesty!"
Hou Yuanji's voice rose two degrees: "This matter has troubled me for a long time, but because I have no evidence, I am afraid that I have wronged a good person.
My grandfather was loyal to Da Sheng, but he was also worried about disrupting the harmony among his subjects.
Now that I've been scapegoated, I have no choice but to ask Marquis Chenyang a few questions in order to protect myself."
He was still kneeling, his eyes fixed on the face of Marquis Chenyang: "I had just returned to the capital, and Lord Wang, feeling guilty, chased me out to test me in front of His Majesty and the Queen.
Although he did not get the information he wanted, he still did not give up. He openly tried to test me again at the palace gate, but still to no avail. He immediately visited the Chenyang Marquis' Mansion at night.
The guards at the palace gate at that time can all testify to this matter.
Isn't this enough to prove that the Wang family has something to hide and is colluding with the Chenyang Marquisate?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Those who sided with the Hou family saw the momentum reverse and quickly said a few words in support.
"That makes sense. Who would choose to visit someone in the middle of the night? There must be something fishy going on."
"That's right, Wang Fugui is very arrogant. The princess was interested in him before, but was rejected. If there was no special reason, why would she marry a man with a disfigured face?"
Marquis Chenyang was completely speechless: "Why did Wang Fugui come? I really don't know. What about the wedding..."
Thinking of Wang Fugui's miserable condition, he gritted his teeth and said, "There's actually another hidden story behind that marriage."
In order to prevent himself from repeating the same mistake, Marquis Chenyang had no choice but to reveal the fact that Madam Lu and Lu Xiangrou had plotted against Wang Fugui and married into the Wang family.
This is the Golden Palace, and the topics discussed are all national affairs.
The situation suddenly dropped several levels, and the expressions of all the officials were very interesting.
It's not scary to air your dirty laundry in public, but it's worse to air it in front of a bunch of important people.
It's really embarrassing.
Marquis Chenyang could no longer care about so many things.
Saving your life is important.
After he finished speaking with a determined attitude, the whole room fell silent. Hou Yuanji said lightly, "So, what does this have to do with Wang Fugui colluding with you beforehand?"
"puff--"
Marquis Chen Yang spat out a mouthful of blood.
