340: A desperate situation of life and death, at stake
Zuo Chongming lengthened his tone and said sarcastically: "Oh~~, I understand. Do you want to say that I am related to this matter?"
"There's none?"
"Have it?"
Another official stood up and interrupted the conversation on the repeater: "Master Hou, this is not a temple for monks. Is it interesting to play the machine?"
Zuo Chongming curled up his lips and showed an attitude like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water: "If you think it is relevant, then show us the evidence?"
"On the other hand, if you rely solely on speculation, I will sue you for slander."
When the official saw how shameless he was, he couldn't help but get angry: "You...how dare you quibble even though the facts are here?"
"Actually, we have found some evidence."
The eldest prince carefully took out a letter from his sleeve and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is a secret letter found on the corpse."
Emperor Wu's eyes flashed brightly, and he said with a straight face: "Send it up."
When Liu Fu put the letter on the table, he couldn't wait to open it and scanned the contents at a glance.
Unconsciously, the corners of his lips raised, but quickly disappeared.
Emperor Wu stood up with a bang and glared at Zuo Chongming: "Zuo Chongming, it's really you? Why did you take the big demon into the capital?"
"If according to the procedures of the Zhenfu Division, a notice should be reported, why didn't I know about it? And you only sent a few Guiyuan Realm escorts..."
"minister……"
Zuo Chongming's expression changed and he glanced at the Seventh Prince subconsciously.
Immediately, he seemed to have made some decision, gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice: "Everything is the fault of the minister. He has evil intentions and commits sins against the Holy One."
This little move almost scared Nan Yu to death.
He was really afraid that Zuo Chongming would break the net and expose this matter.
Although I don’t know the reason that prompted Zuo Chongming to remain silent, this is nothing short of a blessing for Nan Yu.
"good……"
The smile in Emperor Wu's eyes was almost unbearable, and he felt extremely comfortable.
Finally, he finally took the opportunity to cure Zuo Chongming. As long as this trouble was solved, next...
He never expected that at this moment, someone would suddenly stand up.
But Nanchuan came out and said: "Your Majesty, wait!"
Emperor Wu's face changed slightly and he stared at him coldly: "Huh? Little Thirteen? What do you have to say?"
I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup Zuo Chongming poured into him. At this critical moment, Nanchuan actually dared to stand up and support Zuo Chongming...
Nanchuan said in a deep voice: "Back to Your Majesty, I just saw that Marquis Zuo seems to have something unspeakable, why don't you let him talk about it?"
Emperor Wu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and said without argument: "He has already admitted that he had evil intentions and confessed to his crimes. What else..."
The eldest prince also stood up: "Your Majesty, there are still many doubts about this case. I hope your Majesty will give him a chance to avoid regrets later."
Because he just noticed Zuo Chongming's little moves.
He felt even more threatened when he thought that Emperor Wu seemed to be very fond of Lao Qi and wanted to make him his heir.
If this matter could involve Lao Qi, the eldest prince would naturally be willing to push it aside.
After all, in his eyes, Zuo Chongming was a prince, but Nan Yu was a contender for the throne. The threat between the two was a matter of judgment.
"you……"
When Emperor Wu saw him standing up, veins popped out of his forehead.
Seeing that success is so close, I never wanted to be held back by my own family.
This disgusting feeling made him want to beat these good-for-nothing sons to death.
A whoop.
Other princes also stood up and said in unison: "I hope your Majesty will give him a chance."
Although some of them didn't notice Zuo Chongming's little moves, they noticed some clues from the attitudes of Nanchuan and the eldest prince.
Everyone is not a fool, right?
"you……"
Emperor Wu's eyes were about to burst, his chest heaved violently, he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Okay, okay... Zuo Chongming, I want to hear what other excuses you have for you?"
Zuo Chongming lowered his head and said in a sonorous voice: "I dare not defend myself, I am willing to die."
Bang!
Emperor Wu hammered the table hard and stared at everyone word by word, full of threats: "Okay!! The matter is over, don't say I won't give you a chance!"
However, something even more unexpected happened to him.
Wei Tao, who had been silent all this time, slowly moved out of the queue and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Emperor Wu glanced at him coldly, full of murderous intent: "Prime Minister? Do you also want to plead for him?"
It's a pity that an old fox like Wei Tao has a mentality as stable as an old dog, and Emperor Wu really can't scare him.
He continued: "The Marquis Zuo is loyal and dedicated to the dynasty. He will not hesitate to die in order to protect the reputation of our dynasty."
"If I remain silent, I will not only be a disgrace to my late emperor and ancestors, but also to my country and the country. No matter what... I will speak out."
Emperor Wu laughed angrily: "Haha, haha, hahaha... the late emperor, the great ancestor, the country, the country, well, what a magnificent and righteous speech."
He waved his sleeves, sat down and said, "Let's talk, you, don't you want to talk? Then tell me everything you want to say. I want to see what flowers you can come up with."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion."
Wei Tao said in a deep voice: "The task of escorting Tianhu was assigned by Zuohou, but he was secretly coerced."
Emperor Wu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes: "Coercion? I really opened my eyes. There are still people in this world who dare to coerce the majestic champion..."
Wei Tao turned a deaf ear to this, and still maintained his slow speaking speed: "Things should start from not long ago."
"Everyone knows that my son's death is very strange, and because Zuo Hou sent someone to deliver a bowl of jelly when he expressed his condolences, many people suspected that Zuo Hou did it."
"So, Zuo Hou came to Beijing not long ago. After coming out of the palace, he visited my residence. The purpose was to clarify this matter..."
"Originally I didn't believe it, but Zuo Hou showed his sincerity and did not hesitate to spend his life to deduce it and found out that my deceased son had blood."
At this point, everyone suddenly understood.
No wonder Wei Tao and the Seventh Prince Nan Yu deployed a large number of manpower during that time, as if they were looking for something.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now it seems that 80% of them are looking for the bloodline left by Wei Wen...
Wei Tao continued: "It just so happened that the Seventh Prince was also there at the time. He was willing to help with the search. I was eager to find him and agreed."
"Just a few days ago, the Seventh Prince came to visit and said that the person has been found. I am very grateful for this..."
"But, I never expected that the Seventh Prince would do such a vicious thing to my Wei family..."
"Um?"
The Seventh Prince Nan Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Wei Tao in disbelief.
He never expected that Zuo Chongming, who was most likely to stab him, did not stab him, but instead his closest ally stabbed him.
This, this damn...what's going on?
Damn it, why?
Why did you betray me?
Have I offended you? Have a grudge against you? I have helped you find your bloodline!!
Although I have played a little trick, can't this matter be resolved privately?
Do you have to quarrel in front of everyone in the court? What good will this do to you?
Nan Yu was so shocked that his thoughts were confused and he was unconscious, but Wei Tao was still talking.
After a while, he explained the matter again.
At the end, the old man did not forget to add: "My Wei family bloodline is outside the palace. If you don't believe it, you can explore it with secret methods."
After hearing this, the eldest prince's eyes sparkled: "What the prime minister means is that the Tianhu escorted on the flying boat was actually handed over to the seventh brother by Zuo Hou? And the seventh brother sent someone to secretly intercept Hu and sold Zuo Hou?"
"Confused Heart Seal?"
Nanchuan was heartbroken and beat his chest: "Brother Qi, are you making a deal with a demon? You, you are really...Brother Qi, I have always regarded you as a role model in vain, how could you do this..."
The third prince looked at him sadly: "Seventh brother, you like fox girls and other hobbies. I thought it was just a rumor. It seems that you deliberately spread it to confuse the public."
The fifth prince angrily rebuked: "Our human race has been at odds with demons since ancient times, and our hatred is as deep as the sea. Seventh brother, are you deceived by lard?"
In the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed.
Nan Yu looked around and suddenly felt that the world was dark.
The harsh buzzing accusation in his ears made him feel dazed, and only one sentence echoed in his mind - Why? Why did it become like this?
Suddenly, he felt a splitting headache, his body trembled as if struck by lightning, his vision turned black and he fell unconscious.
boom!!!
The desk shattered with a sound.
The court hall fell silent for a moment.
Emperor Wu's face was ashen, and he stared at Zuo Chongming, the corners of his eyes twitching uncontrollably.
He can guarantee that all of this, everything... is inseparable from Zuo Chongming.
"Someone, take him down."
Emperor Wu finally suppressed his anger and asked someone to pull the unconscious seventh prince down.
After a while, he exhaled a breath, closed his eyes and said, "Lao Qi is at fault for this matter, but Zuo Chongming is also to blame."
"If he hadn't made a deal with Lao Qi and transferred Tianhu to Lao Qi, how could the next thing happen?"
"The matter has come to an end. I don't want to say anything more. The matter of Lao Qi will be discussed later, but the champion Hou Zuo Chongming..."
At this moment, there was a quarrel outside the hall.
"Let me go, let me in, let me in..."
"Father, my daughter wants to see my father."
"My daughter has something to say."
Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes: "Huh? Who dares to be strong..."
Nan Yuyan shouted with all her strength, "Father, it's me, I'm Yuyan."
Emperor Wu waved his hand, ordered someone to let her in, and said coldly: "Yu Yan? Although you are my daughter, you are equally guilty for breaking into the hall for no reason..."
Nanyu Yantong knelt on the ground and sobbed: "My daughter knows she is guilty, but she still wants to come. She doesn't want her husband... Champion Hou Meng's injustice is not in vain."
"you……"
Emperor Wu felt his heart twitching, and he laughed in anger: "Unjust injustice? Do you know what you are talking about?"
Nan Yuyan spoke very quickly: "The champion did not make a deal with the seventh brother, but the seventh brother took me as a hostage and forced the champion to agree..."
"What??"
The court officials were in an uproar and were shocked, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
When the eldest prince saw this, he quietly added his sword: "The seventh brother dared to attack the prime minister's son, and even dared to communicate with demons. To do this... is not impossible."
The third prince looked shocked and angry: "Yu Yan, Yu Yan is Lao Qi's sister, how can she be so heartbroken and crazy?"
The fifth prince seemed to be sad, but in fact he was adding insult to injury: "You really know people, faces but not hearts. Who would have thought..."
"enough!!"
Emperor Wu frowned and scolded, staring at Nan Yuyan meaningfully: "Yuyan, raise your head, I ask you again, is this true...?"
Nan Yuyan was so frightened that her delicate body trembled slightly, and she stammered: "Of course it is true. Everything Yuyan said is true. I would never dare to deceive my father."
Wei Tao sighed with a look on his face: "It seems that the old minister was not wrong. The champion was indeed forced."
The Thirteenth Prince responded: "My Lord Hou is so righteous that in order to protect the reputation of our dynasty, he is willing to resist such crimes and die. He is really wise and courageous..."
After being stabbed so harshly in the back by the Seventh Prince, Zuo Chongming still defended him. He was definitely a loyal minister.
So great!
The ministers looked at each other and exchanged glances quickly.
"I beg you, the Holy One, to be accommodating."
"I beg you, the Holy One, to be accommodating."
Accompanied by a crashing sound, the officials in the hall bowed down and shouted: "I beg you..."
Seeing this scene, Emperor Wu felt a deep and real sense of powerlessness that he had never experienced before.
