Chapter 274 The Truth
The second son of Yao pulled out the knife he carried with him: "I will kill you today to avenge my little sister."
He moved so quickly that no one present had time to react. Just as the eldest son was about to die, the emperor suddenly took action. Before Yao Er could see how he did it, the sword in his hand had already fallen into the emperor's hands.
Everyone looked at them in surprise.
The second son of the Yao family broke out in a cold sweat. When the emperor came to him just now, he had a creepy feeling, as if he was in the wild and a giant beast suddenly sneaked up behind him...
He only knew that the emperor was good at martial arts before, and thought it was just for show, but he didn't expect that the emperor was so powerful...
The emperor turned to look at Master Yao and said, "So, for your own selfish desires, you disregarded ethics and forcibly took your own sister, and then used someone else's knife to kill someone in order to cover up the truth?"
The eldest son looked at him steadily. He could still make excuses in front of others, but in front of the emperor, he couldn't say a word.
The emperor sneered: "Who else was involved in this matter besides you?"
participate……
The eldest son said nothing.
The Duke's wife pointed at the eldest son and cursed: "Damn beast, give me Fen'er back."
"Madam...Madam..." The Duke of England tried to pull her, but she pushed him away.
"Yao Zhenjiang, look at your good son. It's true that like mother, like son. You are all bad guys."
After these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
The Duke of England took two steps back, looked at the Duchess's wife, and then at the eldest son.
The eldest son showed no remorse. He pointed at the Duke's wife and said, "Father, why don't you admit it? My mother was killed by this bitch. You played dumb for so many years and asked me to acknowledge the thief as my mother. This is my revenge."
The Duke of England slapped him and said, "Asshole... I don't have a son like you."
There was a loud noise in the yard. An Jiu stood behind the emperor, looking at this and that. Both of them pricked up their ears, afraid of missing any key information.
The Fourth Young Master and the Second Young Master were also bewildered. They were even more shocked than anyone else.
The British Duke gave them an explanation.
Of course, the Duke of England was unwilling to say it, but the Duke of England's wife sneered: "At this point, the Duke's Mansion has no face left. Twenty years ago, Yao Zhenjiang had an engaged fiancée. That family committed a crime and was punished by the late emperor. The men were either killed or exiled, and the women became official prostitutes..."
"Yao Zhenjiang secretly rescued the woman and kept her outside. Not long after, the woman became pregnant. In order to give his beloved's child a respectable identity, he was forced to marry a minor official's daughter like me. He thought I had no background and was easy to manipulate."
The Duke's wife exhaled a breath: "Yao Zhenjiang spoke sweet words and made vows. He told me that the child was born by a maid, but that maid died and the child was pitiful. As long as I am willing to remember the child's name, he will treat me well for the rest of my life."
The Duke's wife laughed crazily: "I am so stupid to believe such a lie."
The eldest son said angrily: "So in order to solve the problem once and for all, you killed my mother, you vicious woman..."
The Duke's wife looked at him with a look of sarcasm on her face: "I killed your mother? It was many years later that I knew your identity. By then, your mother was already dead."
The eldest son's face was gloomy and he didn't even bother pretending.
"Impossible, I checked, my mother died of poisoning, who else could it be if not you?"
The scene fell silent again.
After a moment of strange silence, everyone looked at the Duke of England at the same time.
The British Duke closed his eyes.
"You...you..." The eldest son looked at the Duke of England in disbelief, obviously unwilling to believe it.
The Duke's wife sneered: "That woman's family is related to the Chu State's spies. The late emperor's people found her. Yao Zhenjiang was afraid of being implicated, so he killed her to silence her..."
At this point, things are basically clear.
Because of the grudges in the past, the eldest son thought that the Duchess's wife had killed his mother and had always held a grudge against her, so he attacked the weak Miss Yao.
He brought great physical and mental damage to Miss Yao. Miss Yao was too ashamed to speak up and did not dare to tell her family until she saw the emperor during the autumn hunt. She felt that she could get rid of it all by entering the palace. It was also rumored that the emperor did not like women and did not come to the harem, so this was even better...
But the emperor didn't want anyone in the harem, so she couldn't get in. So there was the scene of falling into the water in the imperial garden. Maybe it was her own idea, or maybe it was instigated by the dead maid.
It failed anyway.
Young Master Yao saw her determination to leave from that time. He was worried that Miss Yao would expose the matter after she was out of control, and he was also afraid that people in the palace would find out, so he decided to kill someone with a borrowed knife...
"Who told you to lead people to the red-light district?" the emperor suddenly asked.
Even if Young Master Yao had ten times the courage, he would not dare to put the blame on the emperor, so he did not know that it would be the emperor who came...
He originally wanted to use the gangsters on Red Street to get rid of Miss Yao...
It's just that the emperor happened to be there...
How could it be the emperor who went there?
Young Master Yao still hasn't figured it out.
He shook his head and sat down on the ground dejectedly.
At that time, in order to be on the safe side, he personally went to the Red Street to keep an eye on it to prevent any trouble.
But before the gangsters arrived, the emperor came.
Miss Yao was really excited when she saw the emperor, as if she had grabbed the last straw...
"Your Majesty, please save me. Please let me enter the palace. I promise not to bother you. I just want to stay in the palace, otherwise... otherwise I really can't survive... I can't survive..." Miss Yao said with red eyes and sobs.
If he were the emperor, he would not sit idly by.
But that is a tyrant...
The tyrant was confused, he didn't understand what this stranger woman was talking about, he had to hurry back to give Xiao Jiu a gold hairpin...
So the tyrant left without listening to her finish.
The gold hairpin that he had been longing to give to Xiaojiu fell to the ground.
Miss Yao picked it up.
Young Master Yao in the dark was extremely frightened.
He was worried that if the emperor came back and wanted to take care of this matter, then... he would definitely be exposed.
then……
He walked to Miss Yao, covered her mouth without saying a word. Miss Yao wanted to struggle instinctively, but she was not as strong as a man. In the chaos, Master Yao grabbed the hairpin and stabbed it into her neck...
Seeing Miss Yao's body soften, Master Yao ran away in a hurry...
He also didn't expect that the tyrant would come back and take the hairpin away...
The Duke's wife fainted again because she couldn't bear the blow.
The fourth son stared blankly at his mother being carried away, his eldest brother being taken away, and his father who seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He could hardly stand anymore...
The second son stared at the Duke of England fiercely, as if he wanted to kill his father right now.
Yan Wenjie walked up to the emperor.
"His Majesty."
The emperor said, "Young Master Yao should be interrogated strictly."
In this case, it was clearly suspected that the Chu spy was involved at the beginning, but in the end, the Chu spy was perfectly hidden once again...
Was it a coincidence that Han Yun appeared at the crime scene? Or was it planned by them?
If that's true, then these Chu people are really scary.
Killing someone with a borrowed knife to clear yourself of all charges...
Just like in the palace back then...
The emperor stood up, walked to the Duke of Ying and asked, "What is the name of Master Yao's biological mother?"
The Duke of England raised his head.
The emperor just looked at him quietly, but he didn't dare to say a word of excuse.
"Liang Yiyi."
The emperor took his men away.
