Fan Chengzhuo never expected that Zheng Baosu would actually say such a thing. He felt shocked and hurt.
He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Zheng Baosu as if he was looking at an unfamiliar stranger.
This sentence completely pushed all of them into the abyss.
He was not afraid of death, otherwise he would have panicked when the blood line appeared on his arm.
But, but he never expected that the person who gave him a push in the end was Zheng Baosu!
However, his reaction made Zheng Baosu feel even happier.
"What? Are you surprised? Since we did those things together, let's share the responsibility today!"
Where in this world is there a good thing where you can eat meat without getting beaten?!
Zheng Baosu thought with resentment.
Since they don't save him, don't blame him for being rude!
Xie Anjun, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment, then immediately jumped up and cursed loudly in a timid manner.
"You are talking nonsense! Zheng Baosu! I have no grudge against you, why do you keep biting me? If Fan Chengzhuo hadn't spoken well of you, I would never have written you that recommendation letter! How could you have had such a successful career? Don't be ungrateful!"
"I am ungrateful?"
Zheng Baosu seemed to have heard a huge joke, his eyes full of sarcasm.
"You! And that guy named Fan! Why did you plan for me? Didn't you just want to arrange for me to go to Northern Xinjiang and work for you? Now that the truth has been revealed, you want to push me out to take the blame and let me die for you? You are dreaming!"
Fan Chengzhuo shook his body and finally spoke with difficulty, "You...you really think so..."
"What else?"
Zheng Baosu spat out a mouthful of blood foam with contempt. Having been a deserter on the battlefield countless times, he now knew that there was no way to escape, and instead became bolder.
Once you let go, you won't be afraid of anything.
"I found it strange before. I'm just a distant relative of yours, and I've only met you a few times. And yet you suddenly gave me such a big benefit and said you would help me build my career... I was so surprised that I believed you so much!"
Thinking about it now, it’s ridiculous!
"It's also my fault that I was too stupid back then. I didn't think of such a 'good thing'. Why didn't you give it to others, but to me? Now I finally understand that you have been preparing for this day!"
There was deep hatred in Zheng Baosu's eyes and his teeth were chattering.
"If it weren't for you! I would still be living a leisurely life in Fuyang! Why would I have to suffer so many years in the Northern Frontier! And even lose my life!"
Fan Chengzhuo opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. There was an unprecedented despair in his eyes.
"I'm dead! Even if I become a ghost I won't let you go!"
These words seemed to greatly stimulate Fan Chengzhuo. His breathing became rapid and he even vomited blood again.
He looked dejected and hopeless, as if he had burned out all his energy.
Xie Anjun was in a state of confusion.
He wanted to defend himself, but Zheng Baosu started making such a fuss right away that he couldn't get a word in!
He was so anxious that he couldn't help but look at Fan Chengzhuo, "Master Fan! He slandered you and me so much, and you didn't react at all!?"
Xie Anjun was extremely regretful. If he had known that this uncle and nephew pair were so unreliable, he would never have agreed even if he had been promised ten times the benefits!
In the end you'll lose your own life, it's not worth it!
But for some reason, Fan Chengzhuo didn't say anything from beginning to end.
He seemed to have accepted his fate as he slowly closed his eyes, his face as pale as a ghost.
Even though Zheng Baosu and Xie Anjun were fighting each other to the death, he did nothing.
It looked like he was about to die.
Emperor Mu Wu lowered his eyes, and his vicissitudes of life gaze fell on Fan Chengzhuo.
"Fan Chengzhuo, don't you have anything to say about his accusations? You don't say anything, but you admit that what he said is true?"
"Your Majesty--" Xie Anjun spoke hastily.
Emperor Mu Wu said coldly, "I didn't ask you."
The rest of Xie Anjun's words were blocked.
Everyone's eyes turned to Fan Chengzhuo.
Even a fool can see that he is the most crucial link in this matter.
If he admitted it, all the people involved would be dead. If he denied it...
It seems that there is no room for denial.
Fan Chengzhuo knelt there, looking extremely cold, his whole body trembling slightly.
He never thought that everything would end up like this...
Zheng Baosu still felt unsatisfied and said sarcastically, "Why? You can't say it? Do you want me to help you recall how you persuaded me to go to the Northern Frontier and how you persuaded me to sell those baggage and weapons to Wazhen at a high price? You can't say it? When we divided the money, Master Fan, you were very happy! Why don't you say a word today?"
Every word and sentence of Zheng Baosu was like a sharp arrow, piercing Fan Chengzhuo, which was extremely aggressive!
However, no matter what he said, Fan Chengzhuo never responded.
He closed his eyes, his lips turned pale, and he looked like he was about to faint in the next second.
Just when Zheng Baosu was about to continue questioning, a calm and majestic voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Lord Fan is devoted to you, but you treat him like this. I'm afraid you're going to hurt his feelings."
Hearing this familiar voice, Ye Chutang turned around and knelt down to salute the person who came.
"Meet the Princess."
After a brief moment of shock, everyone in the hall finally reacted.
——Why is the eldest princess here!?
The court affairs have been busy during this period, but the eldest princess has been in poor health and has not left the house for some time.
Today, I suddenly appeared here...
When Emperor Mu Wu saw the eldest princess, his originally stern expression eased a little.
"How come you are free today, sister?"
The princess sighed, her eyes swept across the people in the palace, lingered on Xie Anjun for a moment, and then she said helplessly, "Your Majesty summoned the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to the palace early in the morning. The Xie family is in chaos. I can only summon Jiayi to settle her down first to avoid any problems."
When they heard Xiao Jiayi's name, the people in the hall had different expressions.
Ever since Xiao Chengxuan was exiled to Yizhou, Jiang Qingmei was sentenced to death, and the Jiang family was confiscated, the name Xiao Jiayi has been deliberately ignored and forgotten.
Only the eldest princess dares to mention her directly.
Sure enough, Emperor Mu Wu frowned slightly.
"The Xie family has its own imperial guards to guard it, so how could there be any trouble? It has caused trouble for the royal sister again."
The eldest princess sighed in her heart.
In fact, everyone knows that Xiao Jiayi has not had an easy life recently, but who made her have to deal with such a mother and brother?
Until now, I don’t even have a place to settle down.
"In fact, I called her here not only for this matter. She also said something to me, so I came here specially."
After the princess finished speaking, she finally looked at Zheng Baosu, as if she was thinking about something.
"It seems that you don't know yet." (End of this chapter)
