The farmer has a mall

Chapter 637
Faced with Emperor Liang's mocking tone, Wei Hong didn't care.

"My minister will say that what happened back then was an accident, that's because the emperor didn't intend to hurt Marquis Wuchang's leg at all."

He met the gloomy gaze of Emperor Liang without avoiding it.

"Because what you want is the life of Marquis Wuchang!"

"Nonsense! What do I want his life for? He is my benefactor, and it's too late for me to repay him. How could I want his life!"

Emperor Liang seemed to have been humiliated, with a blush on his bruised face and agitated emotion.

"Wei Hong, if you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll chop off your head!"

Wei Hong: "You are the emperor, the king's important ministers have to die, and the humble ministers are willing to be punished."

"However, before that, why don't you invite the Marquis of Wuchang to the palace and explain it yourself?"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand towards the door.

An old man with an old face, wearing a brown brocade jacket and a robe of the same color, limped in with a cane.

This man is the Marquis of Wuchang——Tian Sitong.

"See the emperor." Tian Sitong walked into the hall, knelt down with difficulty, and saluted Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang looked at him with a gloomy expression.

"Marquis Wuchang, what are you doing here if you're not at home with Mrs. Xiao?"

Tian Sitong trembled slightly.

"I... my minister, my minister is here to make amends."

"What sin did you come to atone for!" Emperor Liang yelled angrily, raising his hand to slap the table, but because of the injuries involved, he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

"Go back to me, this is not the place for you!"

Tian Sitong lay prone on the ground without moving.

His body trembled even more, and he looked very pitiful.

"Your Majesty, Tian Sitong has been magnanimous all his life and has never owed anyone anything, only that one time..."

"That time, I still have trouble sleeping and eating, and can't sleep at night. I... don't want to keep it a secret!"

"Tian, ​​Si, Tong!" Emperor Daliang said word by word through gritted teeth.

"Are you tired of living!"

"The minister is willing to die, but also to return Jin'e's innocence!"

Prince Lu and the others were at a loss.

"Who is Jin'e?" He asked Wei Hong.

"Jin'e is a member of the late emperor's harem, a concubine, and a fellow villager of Marquis Wuchang."

"Shut up!" Emperor Liang was furious, "Shut up all of you! Come on, the Prime Minister and Marquis of Wuchang are making trouble, and I will put them in prison!"

Commander Ma was still guarding the gate, and when he heard Emperor Liang's call, he hurriedly led people in.

But he was a little embarrassed and didn't do it directly.

"Are you all dead? If you didn't hear what I said, arrest the prime minister!"

Emperor Daliang was so angry that he almost threw Yuxi away, but Eunuch Meng who was beside him quickly stopped him, but he was pushed away violently.

Holding the jade seal in his hands, Eunuch Meng stood on the spot with lowered eyebrows, not stepping forward to appease the Emperor of Liang for the first time.

Commander Ma and the prime minister looked at each other, remembering what his father had said, when he was in a dilemma, Prince Lu's old and majestic voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, you have lost your composure. Could it be that you really have something to hide from me?"

"I act openly and aboveboard, so there is no need to hide it. But these two people, one is originally from Anyang, and the other is just a country boy. If it weren't for my broad-mindedness, there would be no place for them in this capital!"

He pointed at Wei Hong, "But you two don't want to repay your kindness, but want to join forces to frame me, what a pair of ambitious beasts!"

Wei Hong was not in a hurry when he was scolded, "Where did the emperor say this? The Marquis of Wuchang hasn't said anything yet. How do you know that the two of us are going to frame you?"

Emperor Liang choked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Marquis of Wuchang has always been known for his loyalty and generosity, so he should not do unjust acts. You might as well listen to him." The people around Prince Lu said.

Emperor Liang's mouth trembled: "I don't want to hear it!"

He must not be allowed to speak out, otherwise Prince Lu and others will definitely not let him go!
He has been an emperor all his life, how can he ruin his reputation when he is old.

Absolutely not!

"Commander Ma, what are you still doing standing there, don't do anything!" Emperor Liang roared angrily.

Commander Ma: "..."

Enough!

He looked at Wei Hong, who shook his head at him.

Commander Ma was silent for a few breaths, and finally gritted his teeth and exited the hall.

No matter, just die!

Anyway, it was his father who ordered him to listen to Wei Hong.

If something happened that affected the entire Ma family, it would be his father who would have no face to see the ancestors of the Ma family!
Nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, Commander Ma instantly relieved his psychological burden and retreated faster.

Emperor Liang was shocked.

Looking back and forth between Wei Hong and Lu Qin, he finally stopped his gaze on Wei Hong.

"Okay, you are really my good prime minister!" Emperor Liang did not expect that one day he would be forced to such a state by a courtier.

He came and defended, and he was defending against his sons, but he was tricked by an outsider.

Wei Hong smiled modestly and said nothing.

"Marquis Wuchang, if you have anything to say, just say it. Today, the king and all the disciples of the clan are here, so you can speak freely."

The abnormality of Emperor Liang was seen by everyone, and he was obviously guilty.

Prince Lu re-examined this nephew, and in the end he could only sigh.

The first emperor was not considered a wise king, but he knew how to keep things going, and he could be regarded as the country that governed Daliang and the people were peaceful.

And his nephew is not a fool.

Prince Lu touched his leg, feeling sad in his heart.

Not a faint king, but a poisonous snake.

The Marquis of Wuchang will tell the story of the past.

Back then when he was in the countryside, he had a childhood sweetheart, and that girl was Jin'e.

Jin'e was the child marriage that his mother had arranged for him when his mother was alive. Later, his family members were gone and they did not leave him any property. Jin'e's father felt that he was too poor, so he wanted to regret the marriage.

At that time, Marquis Tian Sitong of Wuchang didn't have much opinion on the matter of retiring the engagement. He didn't want to make Jin'e suffer, so he agreed without hesitation.

At the same time, he proposed not to return the dowry gift, but to leave it as a dowry silver for Jin'e.

Jin'e was grateful for his kindness, and did not agree to withdraw the marriage, so she forcibly suppressed the opposing voices at home by herself.

He also often helped him with food from home.

There are many brothers and sisters in Jin'e's family, and life is not easy. After a long time, Jin's father and mother naturally discovered it.

Not only locked up Jin'e, but also threatened to break Tian Sitong's hands and feet.

It just so happened that Emperor Liang was rescued by him when he was in distress, and when he returned to Beijing with him, he ran away with Jin'e.

Later, Emperor Liang returned to Beijing and bestowed him with a mansion of fertile land. Although the two were not yet married, they were already living together like a young couple.

Later, Jin'e entered the palace and became the new concubine of the late emperor.

Tian Sitong was in great pain and wanted to ask what happened.

But he was not qualified to enter the palace at that time, and he couldn't see Jin'e's face at all.

When he heard about Jin'e again, he didn't realize that it was her death.

He has never even seen the dead body, and the two have been separated forever.

Tian Sitong was skeptical in his heart, wondering how she could be favored by the late emperor in the palace as a commoner girl and made her a concubine.

More doubts about the cause of Jin'e's death.

He questioned Emperor Liang, who prevaricated him on the grounds that he was suffering from a serious illness.

Tian Sitong believed it.

Or I have to believe it.

Others speak lightly, even if they know that Jin'e was murdered, what can they do?
He could only live in regret every day, hating himself for bringing Jin'e to the capital.

If she hadn't come to the capital, she might have already married and had children, accompanied by a loving husband and lovely children, she wouldn't die alone in the deep palace like now, helpless and terrified.

With the passage of time, Emperor Daliang was named the prince by the first emperor, and then he ascended the throne smoothly, married Empress Xiao, and gave him the Xiao family as his wife.

He thought that this matter was over. Although Xiao Shi was a little dissatisfied with him, he did his duty as a wife responsibly.

He was very satisfied then.

Except that she is still deeply ashamed of Jin'e, everything is developing in a good direction.

Until one day, he accidentally met a woman in the palace.

The woman's face was completely disfigured, and her whole face was very hideous, so she stopped him on his way home.

She said that she once served Jin'e, and Jin'e secretly sent her out of the palace before the accident, and gave her a chance to deliver a letter to a man named Tian Sitong.
