"The common girl Yan Mi'er pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
The moment he saw Yan Mi'er walking out, Jiang Tang had a feeling of "Sure enough," the dust had settled.
"The daughter of the people wants to sue the fifth prince for poisoning thirty members of my Yan family, and also tries to kidnap the women of the people to threaten my father. Please ask the emperor to make the decision for the tragic death of thirty members of my Yan family!"
The girl's sad and plaintive voice was like thunder on the ground, knocking out everyone present.
The hall was quiet for a moment, and then the whole place was in an uproar.
Everyone's eyes kept moving back and forth between Xiao Yinhan and the fifth prince, and their faces could not hide the shock.
After all, Yan Mi'er was brought to the palace banquet to cause trouble as planned by the fifth prince, but the direction of the trouble was completely opposite to what he expected.
"Boom--boom!"
The fifth prince suddenly stood up from his seat, almost knocking over the stool under him in such a hurry: "Slander! Father, this is all slander! Someone wants to harm my son!"
It is self-evident as to who this “someone” is.
Sure enough, the next moment, the fifth prince turned his gun and faced Xiao Yinhan: "Fourth brother, I know you have never liked me, but I didn't expect that you would slander me in this way! I have no grievances with the Yan family.
Wuqiu, why do you want to kill them? Your testimony is simply ridiculous! And you had no other choice but to choose a woman who is obsessed with you to sue. I have reason to suspect that you are colluding!"
After saying this, he bowed his hands to the emperor again: "My son is innocent, I beg your father to see clearly!"
Emperor Huaiwen looked at Xiao Yinhan, the smile on his face had faded, and his eyes were deep.
The father and son looked at each other, the atmosphere was inexplicably tense, and even the sound of silk and bamboo became quieter unconsciously.
"As expected of Fourth Brother, a master at destroying the atmosphere!"
Even the youngest Eleventh Prince had a complicated expression at this moment: "Does Fourth Brother not know what Father is going to announce tonight?"
Is it really okay if my father cannot step down at this time?
"Maybe it's because..."
The Sixth Prince pretended to be deep for a moment, and several other people's eyes instantly looked over:
"Fourth brother is really upright and honorable. You should regard 'that' position as nothing."
Everyone was quiet for a moment.
"Cut~"
Then they all looked away. Sure enough, Lao Liu would only talk nonsense.
"Prince Rong, do you know what day it is today?"
The emperor's deep tone made everyone's hearts skip a beat, and the fifth prince's eyes flashed with uncontrollable jealousy.
Father is clearly reminding Xiao Yinhan not to ruin tonight's important things out of anger!
Father, he is indeed the most partial!
"Father, I can swear to God..." The fifth prince subconsciously stood up and wanted to stop something, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a firm and decisive male voice:
"Your Majesty, thirty members of the Yan family were wiped out. Such a shocking tragedy happened at the feet of the Emperor. It is simply shocking. The perpetrator is extremely vicious and has no law. He must be captured and brought to justice. We must not tolerate it!"
Lord Zhao of Dali Si, who has always been upright, suddenly stood up and said: "I am willing to take over this case."
After Mr. Zhao finished speaking, Zheng Yushi also stood up: "Your Majesty, I have seen with my own eyes the misery of the Yan family. There are thirty people up and down, and not even a dog has been spared. Such cruel criminals can't stand up for a day."
If we are not caught, I will have trouble sleeping and eating. I beg the emperor to order a strict investigation!"
As Zheng Yushi spoke, many ministers stood up and seconded the proposal: "I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
"Please, Your Majesty, order a strict investigation and never tolerate criminals!"
"..."
A nice banquet suddenly turned into a large-scale request for orders.
Yan Mi'er followed closely and fell to the ground, slapping her forehead heavily on the ground: "I beg the emperor to make the decision for the daughter's family of thirty, and to strictly investigate the fifth prince!"
The atmosphere was pushed to the highest point for a while. After the initial shock, the princes also looked at each other:
"This, isn't it really what Fifth Brother did?"
There is one more thing that the Sixth Prince has nothing to say. He wants to say: Isn’t Fifth Brother very popular? It’s Fourth Brother that no one cares about!
Why is it that everyone came out to support Fourth Brother today? I feel so uncomfortable.
Lan Chongyuan originally wanted to keep a low profile and avoid causing trouble, but she couldn't just watch her son be alone and helpless.
She stood up, knelt down, and cried: "Your Majesty, Rui'er has been kind-hearted and kind to others since he was a child. He would never do such a thing. It's because of people who mean to slander him! There is no evidence, it's all slander!"
Emperor Huaiwen's face looked extremely ugly at this moment. When Lan Chongyuan came out, he was like a living bull's-eye: "Is this a slander? I have Dali Temple to investigate! Get down!"
"slander?"
Xiao Yinhan, who had been silent until now, suddenly smiled: "How does Lan Chongyuan know that this king has no evidence?"
His voice was neither high nor low, but just enough for the people in the palace to hear clearly.
Lan Chongyuan froze and subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from. The moment she saw Xiao Yinhan clearly, her heart skipped a beat.
As if separated by a long time and space, she saw again the lone wolf-like young man with fierce cruelty and hatred after losing his mother and concubine: "I will not let you go, absolutely not!"
Lan Chongyuan's body went limp and she fell to the ground with a pale face.
Compared with the past, the grown-up man has become more comfortable: "If there is no evidence, how can I dare to bring trouble to my father?"
After Xiao Yinhan said this, his voice sank: "Bring it up!"
The fifth prince was originally nervous and irritable. When he saw the people Xiao Yinhan brought up, his eyes almost burst out of shock: "Why are you here!"
"Who is this? Does it look familiar?" the third prince asked in a low voice.
"Third brother, you have such a bad memory," the sixth prince raised his chin towards the fifth prince's position: "He is the fifth brother's housekeeper."
"What?"
As soon as this was said, everyone who heard it was shocked.
What was even more shocking was yet to come: "Back to the emperor, the fifth prince indeed received one hundred thousand taels of silver notes from Yan Jianghe, and owned several shops and thousands of acres of fertile land, all from the hands of Cao Minjing."
"hiss--"
I don’t know who gasped: “This rich businessman is really rich!”
"The fifth prince really dares to accept it!"
"you……"
"Don't worry, it's not over yet,"
Xiao Yinhan's simple words almost made the fifth prince angry.
The Minister of Rites stood up with his head down: "Your Majesty, soon the fifth prince took out 50,000 taels to make up for the account of the Ministry of Rites."
"Take 100,000 yuan to make up for 50,000 yuan. I didn't expect you, fifth brother, to be able to do business."
Xiao Yinhan spoke calmly, but his eyes were cold and sarcastic: "What we do is still a business without capital, which is great."
"You slander me, I didn't..."
"Father, all the witnesses and physical evidence are now available," Xiao Yinhan ignored him directly and turned to Emperor Huaiwen: "This is the confession of Yan Jianghe's painter. He personally admitted that Xiao Ruiqi tried to blackmail him but failed, so he harbored hatred.
He intended to annex the Yan family business under his name. After his house was confiscated and taken away by the government, he poisoned and killed the Yan family servants, and then tried to seize the family property. Please enlighten me."
The most shocking thing about Xiao Yinhan's words was that the fifth prince could poison others and blackmail, but what the hell was it about trying to seize the family property?
