Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1317 It has been many years since I have recognized a thief as my father

"Prince, please tell me." Xiao Hou coughed lowly, although his face was pale, but his expression was very focused.

"This matter has to start from 22 years ago. At that time, the Luo family was a famous scholarly family with peaches and plums all over the world. Many of the students taught basically became officials in the court. At that time, the Luo family's reputation was unheard of in Xixuan. I don't know everyone knows, but the Luo family not only produced many literary champions, but also produced several generals, participated in several large-scale battles, guarded our land in Xixuan, became famous, and everyone said that the Luo family People who can not only write but also martial arts."

The original high-pitched tone suddenly turned into a sigh, "However, fortune and misfortune depend on it, and because of this, the Luo family's reputation is so strong that the emperor who had just ascended the throne for a few years at that time was jealous, because His foundation has not yet been stabilized, plus he wasted too much before taking the position, and his manpower and material resources are still being adjusted, so on the surface he appreciates the Luo family very much, but secretly he is very dissatisfied with the Luo family."

"And it happened that one year, when the emperor made a private visit in his incognito clothes, he happened to meet Sisi, who was separated from me when I was walking around the lanterns, that is, your mother. Back then, your mother was a talented woman who was famous in Kyoto, with a temperament and a beautiful appearance. Whether it's a high school student or an ordinary person, they can't help but be attracted to her, so the emperor fell in love with her at first sight."

The next part of the story is that the emperor sent someone to investigate the identity of this woman. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the daughter of the Luo family. He had always wanted to eradicate the Luo family, and this woman had already betrothed to someone else. The emperor thought of a beautiful woman, but because of her identity As well as the marriage contract, I don't want to eat or drink tea all day long.

At this time, Fu Jianrong, who was still a young minister, who is the father of concubine Yue and the current right minister, learned of the emperor's thoughts, and came up with an idea, that is, to fabricate a crime at will to punish the Luo family, so as to eradicate The Luo family was able to embrace beautiful women, and the emperor who was in a high position was already used to the days when he could get what he wanted. The best of both worlds made him very happy, and immediately ordered him to do it.

Later, the Luo family was wronged and the Wang family was wiped out. The Fu family also successfully squeezed out the Luo family and filled many official positions. As their power grew, they gradually gained the ability to compete with the Liang family.

Wang Yu's words not only shocked everyone on the spot, but the most obvious one was Xiao Hou, his trembling fingers filled his eyes with disbelief, "It was the father and the Fu family who framed the Luo family back then?"

Wang Yu thought that he was terrified when he knew about this for the first time, and his expression became more gentle, and he said softly, "Yes, it is because of them that I have not appeared in front of you all this time, and told you about this matter. , the people do not fight against the sky, the emperor is the sky of this country, no matter how powerful you are, it is impossible to win him, I believe your mother never told you the truth, just to prevent you from falling into this muddy water , so that you can grow up in peace."

Except for Wang Yumeng who was in the dark, everyone present looked at the person on the couch very worriedly.

If what Wang Yu said is true, then for so many years, the prince has spent so much time planning and plotting against the Liang family and Xiao Xu, wouldn't it be a wrongful revenge?

Xiao Hou's eyes were cold, but if you observe carefully, you can see the turmoil in his eyes. His voice was low and hoarse, and he said word by word, "I found out that the Luo family and the Liang family were killed by the generals who sent troops to the expedition. There was a dispute in the election, and a dispute arose between the children of the two families. A young soldier of the Liang family was beaten to death, so the Liang family held a grudge and framed the Luo family. They were beheaded in the town where Liang Xiang was sitting, why what you said is contrary to what this king knows?"

Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he knew a lot about what happened that year, unlike what he thought he knew nothing, his expression was more serious, and he told the details of what happened that year.

"Back then, there was indeed a feud between the Liang family and the Luo family, and it was very deep, but this was not enough to make the Liang family cruel to the Luo family. Perhaps His Highness only knew that the Liang family lost a soldier that year, but did not know that the Luo family There are three children who can no longer hold weapons after that fight, so the two families have reconciled in private in order not to make things worse, and I heard this matter from your mother."

"Your Highness may not believe my one-sided words, but I have a physical evidence here to prove who the person who attacked the Wang family was." Wang Yu took out a palm-sized long box from his arms, and Lin Jiangdong stepped forward to take it Send it to your prince.

The wooden box was opened, revealing what was inside. It was a rusty iron arrow in half. There was an imprint on the tip of the arrow. Although the imprint was a little blurred due to the age, it was otherwise recognizable, what was written on it.

One more word.

Lin Jiangdong picked up the iron arrow as if thinking of something, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, when His Majesty was still the crown prince, there was a team of hidden guards with superb archery skills by his side, and their arrow tips were engraved with such imprints. The word Yue means Your Majesty. The name is one of the taboo."

"That's right, it was such a killer with superb archery skills who slaughtered our Wang family." When Wang Yu said this, his expression was desolate and sorrowful.

Xiao Hou looked away from the iron arrow, looked at Wang Yu and narrowed his eyes, "Based on this iron arrow and your words, do you think this king will easily believe you?"

As if he had expected him to say this, Wang Yu said, "15 years ago, foreign enemies invaded our country, and a team of tens of thousands was inexplicably destroyed. There were many sons of your Luo family among them. God’s will or man’s will.”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Hou looked surprised.

"Although the achievements made by the Luo family back then, the Zhulian nine clans were replaced by the direct line of the Zhulian Luo family, allowing other collateral families to escape, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. The men were sent to the frontier. However, has His Highness ever discovered that after so many years, how many of the sons of the Luo family have survived? Either died of illness or died of an accident, do you think there is such a coincidence? It is not the people above who are cutting grass and roots, but if there is no such thing The people sitting on the dragon chair turned a blind eye, how could at least thousands of people in the Luo family, including those students, disappear so cleanly in just a few years?"

As soon as Wang Yu finished speaking, he saw bloodshot from the corner of Xiao Hou's mouth. He hurried forward and was stopped by someone, so he could only tell him anxiously, "It's my fault, I shouldn't tell you this, your body -"

"No, you're right. After letting me know for so many years, I just recognized the thief as my father, and even took revenge on the wrong person."

Xiao Hou finished this sentence slowly, his eyes were full of absurdity, and then spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell into darkness immediately.

"My lord—"
