Hei Meng husband and wife's son is too pitiful

Chapter 245 Confrontation at the City Gate (3)
The people behind wanted to say more, but Xiao Yong's voice was left behind. He flew down from the city gate and came to Liu Shiwen's side.

Liu Shiwen waved his hand, a few people were escorted out of the army, and then he took out a thick stack of letters.

Xiao Yong saw the changes in the faces of those people, and looked at the letters one after another. His face became worse and worse, and his already loud voice became louder, still spreading far away with his inner strength, "The former commander of the imperial army! Tell me! Why did you send thousands of forbidden troops to besiege Prince Rui's mansion! Who sent you!"

"Impossible. This is the squad leader of the Royal Elite Battalion. It is impossible for him to participate."

Pointing out the identities of those people one by one, the tone first changed from resolute to skeptical, and finally stopped refuting.

The voices of both parties carried internal energy and spread far away. Whether it was the people near the city gate or the soldiers guarding the west gate of Pingcheng, their faces changed at this moment, because the rumors that had been circulating for many days seemed to be confirmed.

Xiao Yong's expression looked a bit lost, he clasped his fists at Liu Shiwen and said, "General Liu, wait a moment, I'm going to ask the emperor about this now, and I will give an explanation to the Rui family army, and to the late prince and concubine.

Liu Shiwen nodded, "Others will definitely not believe it, but since Commander Xiao has spoken, the sons and daughters will wait first. However, Commander Xiao must invite the emperor here, this matter must be clarified."

"Now that there are all the witnesses and material evidence, General Liu can rest assured that Xiao will definitely get to the bottom of it even if he puts his life to the test," Xiao Yong turned and left after speaking.

On the way to leave, Xiao Yong did not ride a horse. He walked on the road in a daze, and kept muttering, "Impossible, how could it be the emperor? But at that time, it was indeed a bit suspicious. I was dragged down by the emperor that day. Chess, one game lasts overnight, never before, yes, it’s not normal.” However, his chanting voice was a bit loud, and passers-by could hear him, so he believed in the previous rumors even more. There will be false!

However, Xiao Yong who left did not go back.

There was news that he questioned the emperor, and the emperor became angry and imprisoned him directly.

However, this makes the truth more confirmed and convinced.

For a while, the notoriety of the royal family crossing the river and demolishing the bridge to murder loyal ministers spread word of mouth among the people. Everyone silently felt sorry for the Rui Palace, began to question the imperial power, and even began to think about whether such a monarch, ordinary people, were inferior to ants in his eyes.

It was two hours later when the imperial court sent people back.

Luo Wang stood on the city gate and shouted loudly, "The emperor knows that the Rui family army is dedicated to the king and loyal. People instigate disloyalty, which violates the original intention of joining the army to protect the family and the country."

Liu Shiwen laughed loudly when he heard this, and his voice was higher than before, "Hahahaha, since the emperor knows that the Rui family army is loyal, why does he treat my Rui family army like a thief, constantly suppressing, and raising hundreds of thousands of people in vain?" The army doesn’t even give them a chance to earn military merits, the Rui family army has been idle for 20 years, the emperor doesn’t know, right? The common people know that the wise and mighty Rui family army in their hearts has been idle for 20 years and has never seen a battlefield?”

As soon as this remark came out, the people in the city stared wide-eyed. They were extremely shocked that the Rui family army had not gone out for 20 years. Luo Wang immediately changed his face and coughed lightly, "Vice general Liu's words are wrong. The emperor is sympathetic to the Rui family. The army has worked too hard in the past to come up with this strategy of rest and recuperation, so how can we suppress it?"

Liu Shiwen hehe, it’s good to let people know some things, and I don’t want to get too entangled with him on this matter, “Today, the Swiss Imperial Army didn’t come here for this matter, you are a great Confucian, and I, an old man, can’t argue with it today Talking about the matter of Prince Rui's Mansion, I dare to ask Lord Luo, the royal family's secret guards, elite soldiers, and the commander of the imperial army, who participated in the murder of King Rui and the massacre of the entire family of Prince Rui's mansion, can you give me an explanation for the Rui family army?"

Just now Xiao Yong's words were intermittent, and others were a little confused, but these words were straightforward, and everyone who heard them gasped.

King Luo flicked his sleeves, and said angrily, "Who said that! General Liu, are you a fool? How can you listen to someone who wants to provoke you?"

"I said," among the crowd, a young man dressed in soldier armor but still outstanding in temperament walked out slowly, with a straight posture and a solemn tone, "the former youngest son of King Rui, Rui Xiao, the only survivor of the night when King Rui's mansion was destroyed, should Having a certain right to speak is not considered a person with a heart, right?"
