Chapter 253 The big things are made small, the small things are made small

"Come here, go to Dali Temple and bring the money."

Hearing this, Qin Xiaochu couldn't help being shocked. It was the first time in the entire dynasty that his father would summon Qian Manduo into the hall. He turned to look at the expressionless Qin Yu, He just frowned slightly.

Prince Qin Qiongyu was also very surprised. No one thought that his father would try Qian Manduo so quickly, but it was nothing to think about it. He really wanted to meet the legendary Xuexianglou What kind of character is the empress proprietress.

In Dali Temple, Qian Manduo was lying alone in the straw pile and counting sheep. He didn't know what was going on. Ever since he entered the prison, he had been troubled by insomnia. Could it be that he was worried about death, or that Qianye Fan And put some unknown poison on himself.

"There is a lot of money!" The jailer shouted in a rough voice, followed by the sound of the chain being opened.

Qian Manduo opened his eyes lazily, and asked reluctantly, "What are you doing?"

The two guards didn't speak at all, they grabbed her and dragged her outside. When the money was full, they guessed that something was wrong. Damn, even if you want me to die, you should eat your last meal anyway.

"I told you that the abuse of lynching is against the law, and do you know who I am, who dared to impose punishment on me after eating a bear's heart and leopard..."

"What are you arguing about!" Dali Siqing looked at her with a sneer while stroking his mustache, "I want to die, don't worry, sooner or later you won't be able to escape, it's just that the emperor wants to see you."

Your Majesty, Qian Manduo felt that he must have heard it wrong. Why did the abrupt Emperor summon him? Why? , what should Qin Xiao do when he goes.

Whoops, looking at the iron chain in his hand, and these two vicious guys beside him, Qian Manduo was distressed as he walked. Now that freedom and destiny are in the hands of others, don't even think about it.

Entering the main hall, Qian Manduo didn't dare to lift his eyes, and just knelt on the ground obediently, knowing nothing about the people in front of him.

"There is a lot of money, are you guilty?"

That's right, Qian Manduo let out a sigh of relief. It was really the voice of the emperor. It's just that the last time we met, he was still Princess Xuan, but this time it was the prisoner Qian Manduo. what.

"Yes, the girl is here."

"I ask you!" The emperor said again, "Did the fire in the south of the city be caused by you?"

"How could it be me!" Hearing this sentence, Qian Manduo became angry for a moment, and all the previous fears were wiped away. He raised his head and defended loudly, "Your Majesty, you must have made a mistake. The refugees in the south of the city are still I built those houses with my own hands, why should I burn them all by myself, it’s obvious that someone framed them.”

"Bold!" Jiu Qiansui scolded, "How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the emperor."

"My daughter knows my mistake!" Qian Manduo lowered her head cooperatively, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The prince bowed his head and remained silent, but Qin Xiaochu felt relieved. Hearing Qian Manduo's words, all previous worries were wiped away. Judging from this situation, Qian Manduo will not be convicted, and even Will do myself a huge favor.

In a blink of an eye, he glanced at the prince sitting next to him. Since he tried his best to provoke this matter, he should let him see how powerful Qian Manduo is.

"There is a lot of money!" The emperor said again, "Since the arson incident has nothing to do with you, who did it?"

Qian Manduo shook his head, the old emperor must have not taken his medicine when he got up this morning, and asked himself such an idiotic question, since I didn't do it, then it's your business, the emperor.

"Did you kill Qi Nanfei or someone else!" The emperor stood up and walked in front of her, "You must explain honestly."

"Qi Nanfei wasn't killed by me!" Qian Manduo suddenly said very seriously, "If it wasn't for him, maybe I wouldn't be able to kneel in front of the emperor today."

"Then that is to say!" The emperor stopped, "Qi Nanfei led the black cavalry to bombard the south of the city and set fire to it. The reason is that the land you built the houses for the refugees belongs to the Qi family. Is that right?"

"That's not the case!" Qian Manduo immediately objected, "Qi Nanfei and I grew up together, the Qi Nanfei I know is definitely not such a person, even if I occupy the Qi family's land, he can look for me in a fair manner Let’s talk, there is no need to take such a risk, regardless of other people’s lives, and more importantly, he will not block that arrow for me at the last moment, someone must have forced him to do this, it must be like this.”

The emperor closed his eyes: "As you said, Qi Nanfei was coerced, you have proof."

Qian Manduo paused for a moment, evidence, how can I have any evidence, after the fire in the south of the city, and even before he had time to attend Qi Nanfei's funeral, you were locked in the prison, there is no evidence at all.

However, Qian Manduo has unexpected surprises. As the saying goes, if you don't make a show, you will be a blockbuster, and Qian Manduo belongs to this category.

"Your Majesty, I have no evidence. Qi Nanfei is innocent, and so am I. In the final analysis, Qi Nanfei's death and my being imprisoned, and even those refugees who died innocently in the catastrophe, are all because of your disapproval, Your Majesty. As."

"Bold!" The prince stood up abruptly, "Bold and cunning, how dare you make outrageous words."

Qian Manduo didn't put the prince in his eyes at all and continued: "If your majesty had taken action to resettle those refugees early, none of these things would have happened, and the civilian daughter would not have been charged with arson, let alone Qi Nanfei." Death, why are those refugees still homeless now, I have merit, but the emperor turned a blind eye, instead put me in prison, and even without investigation, he wanted to convict me."

The corner of Qin Xiaochu's mouth twitched slightly. Today's Qianmandu erupted completely, which was indeed beyond his expectation. He dared to challenge his father. There may not be a second person in the whole dynasty.

After the emperor heard this, he was neither angry nor angry, but calmly sat down on the dragon chair again, and looked at Qin Jinyu who was sitting beside him.

"Second prince, weren't you there that night, tell me clearly, where did the arrow come from?"

Qian Manduo couldn't help feeling a little worried, Qin Yu, this guy wanted to kill himself, how could he intercede for himself, but this Qin Xiaochu, you have to say something for me, look at my aunt and me alone People are fighting alone here, how can you be indifferent.

Qin Yu stood up, without even glancing at Qian Manduo: "Royal Father, I'm going to ask the coroner to examine Qi Nanfei's body, but no matter who killed Qi Nanfei or what he has As a last resort, he led people to burn down the refugee camp in the south of the city, and the Qi family didn't take father's majesty to heart, so they should be punished."
