Chapter 351 Emperor Mingxi and Liang Chaozong are playing with famous brands!
The prince smiled slyly and said in a low voice: "We caught him in a brothel last night, without anyone knowing."
"My uncle interrogated him overnight."
The second prince heard this and showed indescribable admiration on his face.
On the other hand, Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse's eyes were full of anger and regret.
Early this morning, when they were about to go out, they heard from the servant that the head shopkeeper went to a brothel last night and did not return all night.
At first, the two hesitated for a while. At the critical moment, the head shopkeeper suddenly did not return all night. Could it be that something unexpected happened?
The couple discussed and decided not to go to the palace banquet for safety reasons.
At this time, Wei Chong, the new retainer they had accepted two years ago, said with a look of confidence: "Master, Madam, you can just go to the banquet without worry."
"I know the whereabouts of the head shopkeeper very well. I went to the brothel with him last night. Later, he drank too much and stayed in the brothel."
"I'll go to the brothel and bring him back."
"Besides, our plan is so thorough, how could it go wrong!"
Liang Chaozong and his wife felt much more at ease after hearing Wei Chong's words, and went to the banquet as usual.
At this time, they regretted their decision.
Looking at the guests in the hall, they all looked at Wang Min and Xiao Licheng in amazement.
"The person who spread the rumor turned out to be the manager of Tianxiang Restaurant!"
"Why did the manager do this?"
"Could this Wang Min be a spy from another country?"
"The manager's boss is the great imperial merchant Liang Xin! Could Liang Xin be the mastermind behind this?"
Many people had secretly looked at Liang Chaozong and his wife who were sitting in the corner.
Liang Chaozong and his wife pretended to be calm and still sat steadily in their seats, but their hearts were beating like thunder.
Xiao Licheng pointed at the kneeling middle-aged man and said, "This man is called Zhang Mazi, the leader of the East City Beggars' Gang."
"A few months ago, it was this Wang Min who found Zhang Mazi, gave him 800 taels of silver, and asked Zhang Mazi to lead the beggars in the gang to spread the rumor that the exotic crops were poisonous."
At this point, Xiao Licheng kicked Zhang Mazi's butt, "Speak for yourself!"
Zhang Mazi hurriedly said, "That's right, I took the silver. It was Wang Min who gave me the silver."
At this time, Xia Zhengqi stared at the people below Xiao Licheng looked at Wang Min in front of him and asked sternly: "Wang Min, tell the truth in front of all the princes and ministers today, who is the mastermind behind you?"
Wang Min was already trembling with fear, "I will tell the truth, Your Majesty, can you spare my life?"
Xiao Licheng kicked Wang Min hard on the butt: "You are so bold, you dare to negotiate conditions with Your Majesty!"
Wang Min's voice trembled: "I dare not, I dare not, I say."
"My boss asked me to do this."
After saying that, Wang Min turned his head with a guilty look on his face and glanced at Liang Chaozong quickly.
Liang Chaozong frowned, stood up quickly, saluted to Xia Zhengqi, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. Wang Min is talking nonsense! He is making false accusations to get rid of the crime."
"Your Majesty, please don't believe his lies!"
Yao Jinse also echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, Liang Xin is loyal to you!"
Xia Zhengqi looked at the two of them steadily, and said word by word: "Liang Xin, the imperial merchant of Great Xia! Liang Chaozong, the remnant of Liang Dynasty!"
"Liang Chaozong! Do you think that I can't recognize you just because you changed your name and identity? Do you really think I'm stupid?"
[Wow! Daddy's highlight moment! ]
[Famous brand! Tearing! Roar! So exciting! ] Xia Miaoyuan's lips were already trembling with excitement.
At this time, all the guests were stunned.
"What did the emperor say?"
"It seems to be Liang Chaozong!"
"Ah! It turned out to be the prince of the former Liang Dynasty!"
"So, the emperor means that Liang Xin is Liang Chaozong?!"
Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse and his wife froze when they heard these three words from Xia Zhengqi.
But soon, Liang Chaozong changed his expression to a calm and composed one, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.
"Hahahaha!" He laughed exaggeratedly at the sky.
"Dog emperor, I really underestimated you!"
"When did you find out my true identity?" This sentence was asked quite seriously, as if he really wanted to know the answer to this question.
[You are quite courageous! You are worthy of being the male protagonist in the book, the chosen son! ]
[You are so calm and composed even after your underwear is stripped off! 】
Xia Miaoyuan looked at Liang Chaozong's performance and couldn't help but admire him.
All the guests stared at Liang Chaozong in astonishment.
Those guests who were close to Liang Chaozong stood up with their hands and feet as if by reflex and retreated to a farther position in panic.
It was as if Liang Chaozong was some kind of scourge.
"He is actually the prince of the fallen country, Liang Chaozong!"
"It's simply ridiculous! He is actually an imperial merchant in Daxia! He attends the palace banquet openly!"
The guests' discussions were endless.
Xia Zhengqi stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "It's not a long time, but it's not a short time either, more than three years ago!"
As soon as Xia Zhengqi said this, it was like a thunderbolt exploding in the plain.
All the guests looked at Xia Zhengqi in admiration.
"The Emperor actually knew Liang Chaozong's whereabouts at that time!"
"Our Emperor is so powerful!"
"The Emperor is really a hidden talent!"
Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse were originally calm and composed, but when they heard this, they seemed to have lost all their strength and immediately lost their spirits.
Liang Chaozong's eyes widened in disbelief, and in an instant, a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Hahahaha!" Liang Chaozong laughed almost crazily, as if he was crazy.
[It's over, the defense is broken! The hero's defense is broken this time! ]
[Come to think of it, he thought he had done it perfectly, and used a new identity to swagger through the capital, calculating every step, designing one conspiracy after another. ]
[In the end, he found that his opponent had already known his identity. Those conspiracies and tricks were just jokes in the eyes of his opponent. ]
[This blow is too great. ]
[You know, in the book, the hero's schemes can almost succeed every time, and he has smooth sailing all the way. 】
Liang Chaozong pointed at Xia Zhengqi in a daze, "So, you already knew my identity since I first entered the palace?"
Xia Zhengqi looked at Xiao Chou and smiled contemptuously, "You can say that."
Liang Chaozong attended the palace banquet for the first time after becoming an imperial merchant, and Xia Miaoyuan recognized him at the palace banquet.
It was also because of this that Xia Zhengqi learned from his daughter's voice that Liang Xin was Liang Chaozong.
So Xia Zhengqi thought about it and felt that Liang Chaozong was right.
