Those who originally wanted to leave cheered up and looked at Wu Yuan again.
Different from before, although they still don't want anything to happen to the Ouyang family, the new emperor is here, and there is no way to continue to unscrupulously accuse the officers and soldiers of arresting people as they did just now.
Now no one doubts that Ouyang Shishi participated in the assassination of the new emperor. Ouyang Shishi had already admitted it just now, and since the new emperor is here, this has become something that no one can argue with.
But even so, if possible, they would like to intercede for the Ouyang family.
Nowadays, the three major aristocratic families have lost one Li family and one Zhao family. Although only one of Zhao Kuan's hands was broken, after what happened today, no one dares to get too close to the Zhao family.
So if nothing unexpected happens, the Zhao family will not have an easy life in the future.
There was even a powerful Chang family who was directly executed by the whole family. Now, if something happens to the Ouyang family again, who would dare to stay in the capital?
So no matter what, we can't watch anything happen to the Ouyang family.
With this thought, everyone looked at Wu Yuan and Ouyang Shu with anxiety.
Ouyang Shui also slowly came to his senses, and immediately looked at Wu Yuan intently and said, "Your Majesty, what do you want to do with my little girl?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Shishi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter should be done by Ouyang Shishi alone and has nothing to do with the Ouyang family. Please be merciful and don't embarrass the Ouyang family. Shishi is willing to accept any punishment.
Nothing to say."
Ouyang Shishi's eyes were stubborn and she seemed a little angry.
Wu Yuan was also thinking, is this woman angry with me?
It seemed that it was true. Of course Wu Yuan knew in his heart that Ouyang Shishi had no intention of assassinating him.
It was just some test from the Guiyuan sect that made Wu Yuan extremely disgusted.
Even though Bai Aoxue had been punished before, the behavior of the elder Baimei completely angered Wu Yuan and touched Wu Yuan's bottom line.
Whether it's making a fuss out of a molehill or killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, there is always something to do.
Now that the whole city is searching for people from the Guiyuan sect, Ouyang Shishi naturally cannot be let go.
"Okay, I will help you today. Yan Miao will take Ouyang Shishi back and keep him under strict supervision."
Seeing that Wu Yuan really wanted to arrest Ouyang Shishi, Ouyang Shishi became anxious and immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, my father knows my little girl's character. It is impossible for her to do such a treasonous thing. Please, Your Majesty."
Open a wide net.”
Wu Yuan chuckled, "You two have a deep love as father and daughter, but where do you put me?"
"I will tell you the truth. Although it was not an assassination in the true sense at the Peacock Palace yesterday, your daughter did help the Guiyuan faction. Why don't you tell me how I should deal with your daughter?"
Ouyang Shu was speechless for a moment. If he had been allowed to speak, of course he would have let his daughter go.
But he understood clearly that Wu Yuan would have to give an explanation for this matter.
He had also heard about the large-scale arrests of members of the Guiyuan sect outside, and he did not expect that Ouyang Shishi would be a member of the Guiyuan sect.
Until now, he had not had time to ask Ouyang Shishi why he joined the Guiyuan Sect and why he helped the Guiyuan Sect do such dangerous things.
"Your Majesty, it was me who failed to educate my daughter well. If Your Majesty wants an explanation, I am willing to sacrifice my life in exchange for my daughter's safety."
"Dad!" Ouyang Shishi was also anxious and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Don't kill my father, don't kill my sister. If you want to kill, just kill me. Anyway, I am the most useless person in this family." The second generation ancestor Ouyang Danli also ran over.
The other Ouyang family members were also extremely united, scrambling to take over Ouyang Shishi's sins.
Everyone present had mixed feelings when they saw this scene.
I admire and envy both at the same time. It is really rare to see such a united and friendly family.
Ask yourself, if something like this happened to their respective families, they would probably hide faster than anyone else.
But now is not the time to watch the excitement. Everyone kowtowed and said in unison: "Please show mercy to your majesty."
Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows. At this moment, he finally understood why Xin Ruyan immediately asked him to find a way to include Ouyang Shishi into the harem after knowing her identity.
It is indeed not simple to have such strong cohesion and appeal.
Murong Haitang had an expression like "Look, I told you it would be like this."
But that's not what Wu Yuan wants to hear now. He believes that Ouyang Shu also knows what he wants to hear.
That is, Ouyang Shu agreed to marry Ouyang Shishi to him.
But now, Wu Yuan saw Ouyang Shu's determination, that is, he would rather take the blame and die than Ouyang Shishi marry him.
"What are you trying to do? Are you trying to force me to marry you? Do you think I have to listen to your request?" Wu Yuan snorted coldly.
Everyone saw that Wu Yuan seemed angry, and they were also flustered.
Ouyang Shu shouted: "Your Majesty, we have absolutely no intention of doing this. We just ask your Majesty to give me a chance to atone for my sins."
"Atonement?" Wu Yuan became interested.
"Tell me, how can you atone for your sins?"
Ouyang Shu sighed inwardly. He saw that Wu Yuan's real purpose was to want Ouyang Shishi, but he could not compromise like this no matter what.
But I also guessed that the reason why Wu Yuan was attracted to Ouyang Shishi was that he coveted the ancestral secret medicine of their Ouyang family.
Although doing this would also violate the ancestral precepts, at the moment, I don't care about that much.
"Your Majesty, now that Dawu is suffering, soldiers and horses from all over the world are eyeing Dawu. As a member of Dawu, I, the Ouyang family, are willing to contribute to Dawu. We can give priority to the Ouyang family's healing medicine to supply Dawu's military needs."
Ouyang Shu felt that this was what Wu Yuan really wanted.
Everyone present looked at Ouyang Shu in shock. You know, the Ouyang family never participated in state affairs.
Murong Haitang understands this most deeply. At that time, her father personally approached the Ouyang family, but he failed to gain support from the Ouyang family, whether through coercion, inducement, or any other method.
Otherwise, the dynasty at that time would not have been replaced by Dawu so quickly.
But now, Ouyang Shu actually offered to support Dawu's military supplies, how can anyone not be surprised?
Everyone in the Ouyang family looked at their head in disbelief, but in the end no one stood up to object.
Compared with others, Wu Yuan didn't feel much.
I just admire Ouyang Xiao's decisiveness, but he hit the point straight to the point.
Unfortunately, Wu Yuan wanted more than just the Ouyang family's secret medicine. He was really bound to get the beauty Ouyang Shishi.
"Master Ouyang, I have heard about your family's ancestral teachings, so how can I force others to do something difficult? So don't worry, I won't try to get your family's secret medicine."
However, when Ouyang Shui heard Wu Yuan's rejection, instead of being happy, he felt a thump in his heart.
