Chapter 576 They are exposed!
"No, Eunuch De has issued an oral order and has had people surround our palace from front to back. It seems that the situation is not good."
The words "the situation is not good" were said with caution.
Many of the servants in the house were panicking and wanted to pack up and leave secretly, but he forced them to do so.
Liao Jiu nodded, "Okay, we got it."
The butler retreated outside the door and waited.
Liao Jiu said to Jiang Lianzhu, "Wife, don't be afraid. We are upright and honest. We have done nothing wrong. We are not afraid of ghosts knocking on our door."
These words were said to Jiang Lianzhu, but actually they were meant to comfort the three cubs.
He knew that Jiang Lianzhu was extremely brave and was mainly afraid that the children would be scared.
Jiang Lianzhu patted the heads of the three children in turn. "We're not afraid. Jiang Dalang and the others must have been taken to the palace. Now is the perfect time for them to file a complaint against us. Let's see who is connected to Baihua Tower. Whoever is accusing us now is from Baihua Tower! They've been exposed!"
It's not entirely a bad thing.
Dabao waited for Jiang Lianzhu to finish speaking, and then said, "Mother, let's go. I will go to the palace with you."
Jiang Lianzhu disagreed. "Just tell Liao Jiu and me, and it will be fine if we go to the palace. Now the three of you listen to me. Take Xue Da and the others to the Zhan Wang Villa next door for some shelter."
This is also Liao Jiu's opinion.
Dabao said solemnly, "Mom, let Erbao and Nanbao take Xueda and the others over there to hide. I will accompany you to the palace."
When he is needed to speak, he can say a few good words for them in front of Xuan Huang.
Take some time off.
Seeing his small size and determined expression, Jiang Lianzhu had no choice but to agree.
This child's brain is no worse than theirs, sometimes even smarter. Besides, if anything happens between her and Liao Jiu in the palace, he has the right to know instead of relying on others to pass on the message.
It is more reliable to see it with your own eyes than to rely on others to pass on the message.
"You can go and listen and watch, but don't speak up for us rashly or you'll get yourself into trouble! No matter what happens, you must protect yourself first. If it really comes to a fight, Liao Jiu and I won't be able to stop us!"
Dabao thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay."
Erbao and Nanbao were both eagerly waiting. They also wanted to accompany their parents and elder brother into the palace, but they knew that their going would only cause more trouble.
So I just followed the arrangements obediently.
Liao Jiu asked again, "Where is mother?"
What I mean is, mother, do you want to go to the next door with your daughter and the others to avoid the disaster?
Jiang Lianzhu sighed, "Let her go with Nanbao and the others first. If the War King's Villa doesn't accept her, send her back... let's try..."
"become."
After everything was arranged, Erbao and Nanbao took the three snow wolves to the War King's Villa next door.
Liao Jiu and his wife took Dabao and his party to the main gate to receive the order.
Eunuch De at the gate was already getting impatient. When he saw Liao Jiu and the others come out, he taunted them sarcastically, "It took you so long to come out. I thought you had fled because you were afraid of the crime!"
Liao Jiu asked loudly, "May I ask, Eunuch De, what crime have my wife and I committed that would cause us to flee?"
Eunuch De laughed wickedly and said, "Good, very good. I hope you still have the confidence to speak so confidently after entering the palace. Come, take them away."
As soon as they approached, two eunuchs came with ropes to tie up Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu. Liao Jiu frowned and said, "Eunuch De, please repeat the emperor's order. Is he asking us to come into the palace for questioning, or is he directly convicting us? I hope you don't misinterpret the emperor's order. The emperor's order cannot be spread arbitrarily by anyone..."
Eunuch De was unhappy and winked at the two eunuchs holding the ropes.
The two men retreated again.
Eunuch De said, "Liao Jiu, you won't be able to live for many more days. You rejected the princess's marriage and married the unlucky Jiang. You deserve this!"
Liao Jiu and his wife looked at each other and confirmed that it must be related to Jiang Dalang and the others.
The team started to set off. When Eunuch De saw Dabao following behind, he said, "Little Prince Xiang, the emperor did not send you..."
Meaning, Dabao doesn’t need to go with him.
Dabao said seriously, "The Emperor didn't summon me, so can't I go to the palace to visit him? I have a pass to the palace here..."
This was the privilege given to him by Emperor Xuan, allowing him to enter the palace at any time.
Eunuch De didn't say much.
The group took a carriage and arrived at the gate of the palace. It was already noon.
Go directly in through the Noon Gate. There are people waiting here, ready to go in and pass on the message.
Once you enter the palace, you can no longer ride in a carriage. Jiang Lianzhu and the others are skilled in martial arts, so they can walk quickly, even Dabao is not slow. Of course, Eunuch De and the others are also skilled in martial arts, so they can walk just as fast as riding in a carriage.
Went directly to the imperial study.
As soon as I got closer, I heard someone talking inside.
"Father, you must severely punish Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu. They resorted to lynching and disregarded human life. Jiang, in particular, despises the poor and favors the rich. They lack human ethics, filial piety, and loyalty between ruler and subject..."
Jiang Lianzhu... This is the voice of the eldest princess.
Still filled with anger!
Not only was there the eldest princess' voice, but there were also voices echoing from other people. Some people had heard it before, and some had not. Jiang Lianzhu couldn't recognize it for a moment.
Anyway, no one in the imperial study heard what Emperor Xuan said.
When Liao Jiu and the others entered, the room became quiet.
Jiang Lianzhu also saw clearly everyone present.
Not only the eldest princess, but also some senior officials from the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of Justice, and the pillars of the court like Prime Minister Zhou...
Xuan Huang sat on the large desk chair in the middle, saying nothing with a gloomy face.
Everyone else had their own expression.
This is equivalent to a small court meeting.
Her brows furrowed in thought, what was going on?
Dabao has already stepped forward to pay his respects to Xuanhuang.
Liao Jiu and his wife also greeted him.
"I, a humble servant... greet the Emperor and all the gentlemen..."
Emperor Xuan was talking to Dabao with a pleasant expression one second ago, but the next moment, he responded to Liao Jiu and his wife with a cold snort.
At this moment, Prime Minister Zhou, who had been silent the entire time, saw Liao Jiu and the others speak up. He shouted, "Liao Jiu, Jiang! You've done a great deed! A victim went to the gate of the Grand Princess's Mansion early in the morning to complain about their injustice, saying that you, the Prince of Xiang's Mansion, were going to kill them. Is that true?"
Liao Jiu said calmly, "No. We at the Xiangwang Mansion abide by the law. We are not a law enforcement agency. How can we have the right to decide someone's life or death? This is clearly a false accusation."
Prime Minister Zhou stroked his beard. "I also don't think you could do that. After all, you grew up under our watch, always abiding by the law. Later, you became the Governor of the Six Gates. You know the laws of our Da'an State best. You wouldn't do anything outrageous. Furthermore, Jiang is a kind-hearted and benevolent doctor, the adoptive mother of Prince Xiaoxiang and the others. She certainly wouldn't resort to violence..."
