The whole audience couldn't help but fall silent, and everyone looked at Chu Wanli, the wealthy man.
Everyone present was a human being, how could they not recognize that the traitor in Chu Qiaoer's words was Chu Wanli, the rich man? Just now, Chu Wanli explained that they didn't quite believe it. They didn't know about the emergency military situation. How could Chu Wanli know about it?
?
Luo Tong was in charge of the intelligence system in Saibei, and all the senior military officials in Saibei were present, but none of them knew it. Chu Wanli, who was in charge of the economy, was indeed the first to receive the emergency military information. This is very strange!
"Old rich man, you said you didn't collude with the imperial court. How could you predict that Hu Yidao would lead troops into the Great Wall? Hu Yidao had discussed it with you and set a time, right? It's just a pity. Li Yang and I are back, let's
Things have changed, and now you have no backing or backing to rely on!"
Chu Qiaoer said indifferently, her eyes were cold and sharp.
"If you want to incriminate someone, why bother?"
Chu Wanli still didn't panic, "Princess, if you feel that I want to take away your power and you are unhappy, and you want to deal with me, you can just tell me directly. There is no point in making up lies and listing charges!"
He has been in the field of power for many years. He has experienced many storms and waves, and his mental quality is very good. In addition, he is a leading figure in Saibei. Even when Chu Tianpeng, the Marquis of Zhenbei, is here, he can be ranked first in power in Saibei.
5. Chu Qiaoer wanted to bring him down, but it was not easy.
When everyone heard this, they began to doubt again, shaking their original judgment.
Especially the elders of the clan couldn't bear it anymore.
"Princess, you must provide evidence for everything, don't just talk nonsense."
"The rich man is not an ordinary person. There is no real evidence. If the county wants to deal with him, it may be difficult to convince people."
"May I ask, Princess, if you have any evidence? If there is no evidence, let's forget it!"
Relying on their seniority, some clan elders began to speak out, question, support Chu Wanli, and put pressure on Chu Qiaoer.
Chu Wanli's cronies and confidants also followed the situation and stood up to speak.
"The big clan is always a senior figure in Saibei. It is impossible to be disloyal to Saibei."
"That's right. Who would believe that rich families are colluding with the imperial court?"
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it at all..."
When Chu Wanli heard this, his face was filled with pride, and he realized that he would not be able to stand down or cause trouble. Chu Qiaoer could not have any evidence. His contact with the court was limited to Hu Yidao. All the letters he had exchanged and exchanged were burned, and there was no way he could leave anything behind.
handle.
Haha, little girl, what will you do now?
It would be a dream to overthrow him!
"I just found these letters from the old room of the rich clan. They are all recent letters exchanged between Hu Yidao, the elder of the rich clan whom you respect, and the court thief Hu Yidao."
Chu Qiaoer sneered first, then took out the letterhead from her arms, showed it and announced it.
What?
At this time, the scene was completely in an uproar, and everyone looked at each other in shock.
"Oh my god, the rich man actually colluded with the imperial court. He knows people well but doesn't know their hearts."
"The Marquis was surrounded and killed by Hu Yidao and his men. The wealthy old man has a wolf-hearted attitude. I am ashamed of myself!"
"Thankfully the princess is back, otherwise we in Saibei would be reduced to vassals of the imperial court, and the wealthy elders must be severely punished!"
The military generals spoke one after another, filled with righteous indignation. Not only Luo Tong's group, but also the generals who originally supported the Great Elder were even more angry, because Chu Wanli only got their support under the pretext of leaving the border and sending troops to avenge the Marquis. Special code.
, I almost fell for this old guy!
When the clan elders saw the evidence, they did not dare to say anything. As for the members of the big clan elders, their faces were ashen and pale with fear. When Chu Wanli fell, they were also unlucky.
Chu Wanli himself panicked and said quickly: "Frame-up, this is frame-up. I want the handwriting to be identified."
After waiting for a moment, there was no response, and he looked at Chu Mingyuan again: "Third brother, go read the letter. You know my handwriting, it can't be me."
"Boss, just admit it if you are guilty. If you plead guilty, the princess may give you a lighter sentence and spare your life."
Chu Mingyuan spoke earnestly and tried his best to admonish, "I have seen it, it will be too late if you take the initiative to plead guilty."
"You, you are confused!"
Chu Wanli's face turned black with anger and he completely lost control, "I told you that it couldn't be my letter, why don't you believe it? The letters between me and Hu Yidao have been burned a long time ago. This damn girl Chu Qiaoer is setting me up."
Woolen cloth."
"snort?"
Chu Mingyuan hummed again and flicked his sleeves.
Everyone at the scene also stared at him, their eyes full of anger. The old guy admitted it to himself!
Only then did Chu Wanli realize that he had made a mistake, but it was already too late. He let out a long sigh and said firmly: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I lost. Let me deal with it how I want."
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and wait for Chu Qiaoer's decision. Although Chu Qiaoer just said that she wanted to clean up the family and kill the traitors, this person is after all an elder of a wealthy family and a veteran of Saibei. Can he be killed like this?
"Chu Wanli colluded with the imperial court, plotted against the northern part of the Great Wall, and cheated others. This is an unforgivable crime. He should be quartered by five horses and fed to the dogs."
"I thought he was very old and a veteran of the Great Northern Sea, so I left him a complete body."
"All the men in Chu Wanli's family will be executed, and all the women will be made slaves. His accomplices will be handed over to Deputy Commander Luo Tong for thorough investigation. The investigation will be completed within three days. Once verified, the punishment will be the same as Chu Wanli's!"
Chu Qiaoer spoke in a crisp voice, neither urgent nor slow.
"Chu Qiaoer, you bitch, you are so cruel, I, I..."
Chu Wanli roared and cursed.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and get him out!"
Luo Tong immediately ordered around.
The guards were ordered to come forward, pick him up, and drag him out like a dead dog.
"You bitch, you are so despicable, the court should let a group of men pick you off!"
Chu Wanli was still scolding at the beginning, but when he arrived at the gate, he gave in and cried, "Princess, I was wrong, I need you to go around my family. Third brother, please help me beg for mercy."
!”
Chu Qiaoer remained unmoved and didn't even look at him. She just swept the entire audience with a stern gaze.
Everyone felt the coercion and lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly. Chu Qiaoer killed people and severely punished her to establish her authority. How could they dare to plead for mercy in this stall?
After Chu Wanli was dragged out, Luo Tong immediately clasped his fists: "The princess's decision is very satisfying. This is my great luck in Saibei!"
Just now he was worried that Chu Qiaoer was soft-hearted and a woman's benevolence would let Chu Wanli go. Now it seems that he is worrying too much. This is fine. If Chu Qiaoer is too kind, she will never be able to control the army or control Saibei.
.
"The princess is wise!"
Everyone agreed and said in unison.
Chu Mingyuan, an old man from the three tribes, also nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone, it is inappropriate for us to call the princess now. The new owner is a girl, so it is not suitable to call her a marquis. Anyway, I, Saibei, are mortal enemies of the imperial court. I propose that the new owner
Be self-reliant and proclaim yourself emperor!"
"See the Empress!"
When everyone heard this, they knelt down and paid homage without any pause.
Chu Qiaoer clasped her hands behind her back, her beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, and the added power made her even more beautiful. This kind of beauty is enough for any man in the world to be obsessed with and eager to conquer.
Here Chu Qiaoer has cleaned up the family and killed the rebels. Over there in Yongming Pass, Hu Yidao's deadline has come.
"I will count to three, then give way, attack directly, and kill you all."
Hu Yidao held the famous weapon "Nine Tiger Prisoning Dragon Stick" in one hand, with a majestic appearance. He shouted in front of the formation with a loud voice.
There are thousands of soldiers and horses behind them, and they are in order.
"three."
"two."
"one"
Hu Yidao shouted, his face stiffened in the end, and he quickly snorted angrily, "You are looking for death, you can't blame me anymore, all the troops charge, kill them for me, I will supervise the battle here, anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed!"
