The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 167 Charges
The emperor's words were meant to be a test, to see how Xie Xi would react.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xi said happily after hearing this: "Even if the emperor doesn't say anything, I would like to find a chance to scold him. I like to beat the dog who is in the water."

Xie Xi's statement was beyond the emperor's expectation, but it seemed to be reasonable.

The emperor remembered the secret report from Dongchang, saying that Xie Xi's goalkeeper Xie Yan beat him up, and Xie Yan vomited half a liter of blood.

The emperor also felt quite a headache about this son, but he felt relieved after hearing what he said.Although Xie Xi acts absurdly on weekdays, he is never ignorant in big festivals, presumably he disdains to be with Xie Yan.

The emperor felt relieved, but he still reprimanded him: "You child, it doesn't matter how serious you are. Although Xie Yan is guilty, he is still your cousin after all. You shot rashly today, but you hurt him badly. , if other clans know about it, they will put the crime of treating them harshly on my head."

It is an unforgivable crime for Prince Wei's son to dare to collude with Beidi to poison him.But regarding the disposal of King Wei, the emperor was still in a dilemma.

Since the search of Prince Wei's Mansion, Cao Lang has found several boxes of things one after another.These boxes contained the criminal evidence of dozens of serving officials, which was the tool used by Prince Wei to manipulate the officials.

Collecting so many criminal evidences did not happen overnight, it must have accumulated over time, and I don't know how much manpower and financial resources were used.

King Wei is his direct younger brother, the leading existence among the princes of Dayan, all the princes from all over the world, including the courtiers, are watching how King Wei is treated.

If King Wei won Rong En, the other vassals would naturally think that the emperor intended to treat the clan favorably.

If King Wei was relegated, then the vassal kings from all over the place would not care about the reason, they would only be chilled.

Even if the court produced evidence, those people thought that they had deliberately framed him.

But now that Prince Wei's mansion has been raided, it is already a situation of riding a tiger. If he handles it lightly in the future, it will make the government and the public think that he, the emperor, regards laws and regulations as nothing.

In short, if you are a little careless in this matter, it will shake the foundation of Dayan.

The emperor somewhat regretted that he was too impulsive, and really shouldn't have gone so openly to search Wei Wang's mansion.

At the same time, he also had some resentment towards Dongchang, for so many hours, he chose to go before the meeting, and he made such a big fanfare!

Xie Xi didn't know that his father had already turned back and forth in his heart, and said with a smile: "I just want to teach him not to have eyes, but he doesn't think about it. Just because he is a toad, how dare he think about swan meat? Naturally. It's time to fight!"

Since the emperor opened his mouth, Xie Xi unceremoniously accepted all the orders. He wanted to see what kind of medicine this Xie Yan had taken, and he actually wanted to propose marriage to Su Su.

In addition, he is the best at avenging private revenge and so on!
Early in the morning of the second day, Xie Xi appeared at the gate of Zhenfusi prison.

The person in charge of the case at the Prince Wei's Mansion is Cao Lang, who can be regarded as an old acquaintance of Xie Xi.A few days ago, Xie Xi was in charge of the Forbidden Army temporarily, and had more than one quarrel with Cao Lang.

When Xie Xi saw Cao Lang, he was not polite to him. When he got close, he put his arms around Cao Lang's shoulders and asked with a smile, "Eunuch Cao, did the criminal confess? This king is waiting for your truth."

Cao Lang took a step forward, moved away from Xie Xi without any trace, and then said with a dark smile: "Your Highness has raised up your servant, and your servant is just taking care of the prisoner for His Majesty, so I dare not ask questions casually. Since Your Highness has obeyed the order , then please Your Highness preside over the overall situation."

Xie Xi didn't care about Cao Lang's eccentricity.As soon as he entered the imperial prison, he smelled a strong smell of blood, mixed with a musty smell, which made people feel nauseous.

Xie Yan was hung on a wooden frame with his head bowed and motionless.After a day and a night, he was tortured to the point where he was not a human being, how could he still have the flair of a handsome young man in the past?

There were bloodstains all over his clothes, his eyes were red and swollen, and there was a large bruise on his forehead.His hair was dark gray, knotted with sweat and dust, and hung in strands on his chest.

One day ago, he was the aloof Prince Wei's son, and few people in Beijing dared to offend him.

However, after entering the Zhenfusi Prison, he tasted what it was like to fall from the clouds into hell.

Since this day, Cao Lang and other people in the East Factory have not asked any questions, and every hour, a torture is greeted to him.

This is of course Dongchang's method. Every prisoner who enters the Zhen Fu Division will be tortured first regardless of the crime.

After one day, without Dongchang's questioning, the prisoner naturally confessed everything.

Xie Yan had been waiting for the emperor's will. He firmly believed that neither his father nor Xie Hui would ignore him, so he gritted his teeth and did not give any clues.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, he suddenly felt a glimmer of life coming, and shouted with all his strength: "I am a nearby clan, the Taizu has an order, and the clan's children are not allowed to be punished! You have abandoned the ancestral system, I want to see the emperor! I want See Your Majesty!"

Then a rude man next to him yelled loudly: "What are you talking about! Your Majesty has so many things to do, so I don't have time to see you!"

Xie Yan suffered a lot that day, the man shouted, Xie Yan was very sensible, and immediately stopped talking.

He struggled to look towards the door, and saw Xie Xi coming side by side with Cao Lang at a glance. Seeing that it was Xie Xi instead of Xie Hui, he lowered his head again.

"I want to see my father, right? I want to hear your reasons." Xie Xi casually sat on a chair beside her, and said to Xie Yan with a smile.

Xie Yan seemed to have not heard Xie Xi's words, and still lowered his head.

"This king just came from my father's place. My father said that as long as you tell the origin of those boxes in your house, you don't care about the crime of poisoning him."

Xie Xi's words contained two meanings, one was that Xie Yan ordered people to poison the emperor, and the other was that the boxes in Prince Wei's mansion had been confiscated by Dongchang.

If Xie Yan did not have the status of Prince Wei's son, no matter which of these two crimes, it would be enough to kill the nine clans.

Xie Yan first had a look of surprise and uncertainty, wondering if Xie Xi was deliberately deceiving him, or if he had found some useful clues.

He made up his mind that he and Xie Xi had always had a rift, and Xie Xi would not be kind enough to save him, probably because he came here to make a confession.

Seeing that he was still silent, Xie Xi said with a smile, "Why? Don't believe what I said, or don't believe that we have your criminal evidence?"

Xie Yan snorted, turned his face to the other side, and left the back of his head to Xie Xi.

Xie Xi didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "It seems that you don't believe my words, so let me tell you two names, um, Wu Jianliang, have you heard of this person?"

Xie Yan's face suddenly turned white, as if he saw a ghost, he still managed to calm himself down, and said, "I don't even know what nonsense you are talking about!"
