!
So awkward and greasy.
Even Chu Mu was a little overwhelmed.
The Dali Temple Minister was sweating profusely: "This...this three-court trial can't be organized just like that. We have to go through..."
The Dali Temple Minister was talking about procedures and rules, and Chu Mu rolled his eyes as he listened.
[As expected, no matter what era, there are always people who are always willing to pass the buck. Nan Mo, at this moment, you need to show your confidence as his superior.]
Nan Mo nodded secretly, his handsome eyebrows drooping. "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Or do you think that my status as Xu Zhi's wife is not qualified enough? Can't you ask the three officials?"
"The Emperor has arrived—"
The eunuch's shrill voice floated into the room from afar, and an expression of relief instantly appeared on the plump face of the Dali Temple Minister.
"Your humble servant pays homage to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor."
When the bright red figure appeared, everyone in the meeting hall, except Nan Mo and Chu Mu, knelt on the ground.
"How dare you!" The eunuch pointed angrily at Chu Mu, holding up his whisk. "You refuse to kneel before His Majesty, showing your disrespect for the Emperor!"
Chu Mu pinched the ceramic cup lid and said slowly, "The last person who dared to point a whisk at me probably only has one breath left."
"Scary!" The eunuch had witnessed Chu Mu's "magic" and was actually afraid in his heart. He shut his mouth in frustration, with a look of anger on his face, but he dared not speak.
"You bold traitor," the Hidden King said, still wearing his mask, like a rat that fears the light. "You have no respect for the law, and your entire clan should be executed."
"Then His Majesty will probably execute me too," Nan Mo swung his sleeves. "Chao Chao and I have already secretly pledged our lives together. Once he clears his name, I will marry him."
“!!”
The Hidden King couldn't believe it, and his eyes hidden under the mask were bigger than copper bells.
"Azhi, do you know what you are saying?"
"Of course," Nan Mo stood up. The height of the steps made him look even more like the Supreme Ruler than even the Hidden King. "I said, I want to marry Chaomu."
Bang!
The Hidden King kicked over a throne, drew his sword, and angrily pointed at Chu Mu, who remained motionless: "You vile, dirty thing! If I had known this would happen, I should have—"
"Your Majesty!" The eunuch suddenly spoke, his sharp voice suppressing the words that Prince Yin was about to blurt out.
"Oh?" Chu Mu stood up slowly. "What should you have done? Kill me? It seems that His Majesty really hates me."
Prince Yin panted heavily: "Chao Mu, I will execute you by slow slicing today! After you die, throw you to feed the most despicable wild dogs! Come here——"
"Your Majesty," Nan Mo interrupted the Yin King's almost frantic shouting, "To be honest, we are not here today because we are afraid of you."
Nan Mo was not originally from Da Xia, so he addressed the King Yin as "you" without any burden.
"My wife did not commit the assassination. She came to the Dali Temple today to prove her innocence. If the emperor doesn't even give her a chance to investigate..."
Nan Mo gestured with the sword in his hand.
"You should know whether the Dali Temple can stop me."
The Hidden Prince shook his head. "No...Xu Zhi, you don't want all the wealth and glory, the honor and favor second only to the emperor, above all others?"
"I always fight for what I want myself, and never ask others to give it to me."
Nan Mo's tone was still stiff.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Yin King's eyes revealed a strong love without any concealment.
Chu Mu: I have something to say.
[It seems that this fake Hidden King is indeed just a puppet, and Xu Zhi and Grand Tutor Hong are the real ones competing behind the scenes.]
Chu Mu came to this guess after thinking for a long time.
The Hidden King is indeed crazy and vicious, but it is impossible for this love-brained person to govern Daxia to such an extent.
Most of these are definitely Xu Zhi's work.
And the Grand Tutor Hong hiding behind the scenes is even more of an old fox.
He knew very well that Prince Yin was not of royal blood, so he allowed Xu Zhi to use Prince Yin's favor to gradually erode the power of the government.
When Xu Zhi pacified the world and built up the infrastructure of Daxia, he only needed to come out with evidence to deny King Yin.
Xu Zhi, who was extremely close to King Yin, would naturally be charged with treason.
It was a really good move!
"Um, excuse me."
Chu Mu really didn't want to watch this crazy drama anymore, so he raised his hand and said:
"Didn't you say you'd give me three days to find evidence? I have the evidence. Your Majesty, the Hidden King, you are the supreme ruler. Are you planning to go back on your word?"
The three-day deadline was promised by Prince Yin himself. This place is the Dali Temple, and there are many eyes and ears around.
More importantly, he didn't want to give Xu Zhi a chance to criticize him for breaking his promise.
He wants to kill that bitch Chaomu openly!
Even though the Hidden King hated it so much in his heart, he reluctantly put away his sword and said, "Okay! Then I'll let you live a little longer."
"This is a matter of great importance," Chu Mu casually requested, "why not just have a joint trial by the three courts? That way, all the civil and military officials will know that Your Majesty is a man of his word, right?"
King Yin was startled. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, otherwise he would be exposed.
"Your Majesty, are you hesitating?"
"Xu Zhi"'s voice sounded soft, but it was chilling.
"No!" The most unwelcome thing for the Yin King was to lose Xu Zhi's trust. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, I'll do as you say. Come on, send for the three officials!"
…
When the Minister of Justice and the Censor of the Censorate arrived at the Dali Temple, they saw Prince Yin sitting in the main seat and the Duke Zhenguo who stood with Chu Mu instead of sitting on the empty throne. They glanced at each other secretly.
——It’s over, it seems I can’t have lunch.
The three-court trial had a set of procedures to follow. Since they were already there, everyone patiently went through the process.
As soon as the Dali Temple Minister slammed the gavel to start the trial, the Yin Prince could not wait to sneer, "Chao Mu, everyone is here. I want to see what tricks you have to play."
"I really can't do anything fancy," Chu Mu said with a smile, "but I do know a woman from Yanghua Village who has a red spot here. Your Majesty, are you interested in meeting her?"
The Hidden King was puzzled. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
The eunuch who always reminded Prince Yin changed his expression in an instant.
As soon as Chu Mu saw the eunuch's appearance, he sighed in his heart:
[Amazing! The big guy helped me figure out so much without saying a word, saving me a lot of energy!]
【Give me some reward when I get back?】
What would he want?
