Chapter 298 Robbery
"Vivi!"
Tan Tai Ting was dying, and when he opened his mouth he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Weiwei, I love you, I really do! I couldn't bear to see this lowly fellow hooking up with the princess, so I wanted to kill him. Young Master Xie and the two young princes were completely an accident, a misunderstanding! Princess, for the sake of us growing up together, please save me!"
Donglai was also tied up and thrown into the yard. He turned over and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy:
"Princess, the young master loves you deeply. He does all this because he loves you so much."
"Weiwei, I have nothing left. I can't live without you anymore..."
"fart!"
Xie An rushed forward and kicked Tan Tai Ting, cursing,
"Auntie Su said that you're a scumbag! A scumbag will kill anyone he sees without mercy!"
After scolding, he said to Li Wei:
"Princess, you must not be fooled by this scumbag again! He locked us and Brother Liao up with the intention of killing us. To save his own life, he even abandoned his wife and children. What else can he not do?"
The maids around Li Wei were more anxious than each other, fearing that their princess would not be able to make sense and be deceived by the scumbag again. After hearing what Xie An said, they all nodded continuously.
Looking at Tan Tai Ting begging in a desperate situation on the ground, Li Wei felt no waves in her heart, only immense disgust and nausea!
She said coldly:
"Tan Tai Ting, stop playing tricks. I won't be fooled by you again, so just give up on this idea. You murdered the young prince, Young Master Xie, and Liao Zhiyi, and you deserve the punishment you deserve."
After saying this, he flung his clothes aside and walked into the house without hesitation. He ignored Tan Taiting and Donglai as they were dragged away, ignoring their cries and pleas.
……
"What? The Northern Zhen Army?"
Prime Minister Cui was so shocked that he sat up from the couch, pushed away the beauty beside him, and glared at the subordinate who came to report the news.
"That's right! Tonight in East Street Minxiang, the Xie family guards found the missing young master Xie and the young prince. They also captured Liao Zhiyi, who is said to be a remnant of the Northern Zhen Army! It was Tan Tai Ting who led the men to do this."
"Dan Tai Ting? Where are the others?" Prime Minister Cui asked.
"He was seriously injured and taken away by the Xie family. He died on the way."
"Humph, he's a good dog of Prince Jing!" He pondered for a moment and said, "Go, take my warrant and capture that Liao Zhenbei Army remnant. Otherwise, if this matter gets out of hand, it will be difficult to explain to the Emperor."
"Yes!"
……
"Grandfather, are you listening?"
Xie An rushed forward and hugged the old Duke Xie and shook him hard, causing the old man to cough dryly and a piece of the plaster on his temple fell off.
Old Duke Xie glared and blew his beard.
"Where's that person you were talking about!?"
"In the Princess's Mansion!"
"Come here! Invite the troops!" Old Duke Xie jumped up from the recliner, casually pulled out the golden mace from under the recliner and put it on his waist, then strode out.
"Dad, where are you going!"
Duke Xie quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Let go! If what Xiao Anan said is true, Liao Zhiyi is the only witness! Didn't you say that the dog emperor doesn't admit what that bastard did? I want to see what he does now that there is a witness!"
The affairs of Prince Jing were already known to a small circle of people.
But there was no evidence, so everyone was just guessing. The emperor asked Prime Minister Cui to handle the matter. If the news got out, Cui might help the dog emperor destroy the body.
Just as the people from Duke Xie's Mansion arrived, the people from Prime Minister Cui's Mansion also arrived.
"Princess! I'm here by order of the Prime Minister to capture Liao Zhiyi, a remnant of the Zhenbei Army. Please let me go."
The people from the Prime Minister's Mansion came with Prime Minister Cui's order to arrest someone.
"How dare you!" Li Wei stood at the door, angrily scolding everyone. "I am the current princess, and you dare to be so presumptuous! Don't you take me seriously?"
"Princess! We are on official business. Please forgive us!"
As he said this, he was about to lead people in.
With a "bang", a golden object flew over in the air and hit the head of the person who led the way in. The leader fell down.
"What about the old man?"
Duke Xie dismounted from his horse and strode up the stairs. The servants in the princess's mansion quickly picked up the golden mace on the ground and handed it back to Duke Xie with both hands.
"You bastard! You only know how to bully weak women!"
Old Duke Xie kicked the leader, who was lying on the ground with a bloody head, away, pointed at the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and shouted:
"I don't care who Liao Zhiyi is! I only know that he is the savior of my precious grandson! If any of you dare to touch Liao Zhiyi, I will cut off ten of your fingers as an apology."
Facing the old Duke Xie, no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion dared to act arrogantly. They were caught in a dilemma, standing in the audience, not daring to move.
"Somebody come!"
Old Duke Xie rode up to the steps at the entrance of the Princess's residence and sat down.
"Go in and carry the benefactor of the Xie family!"
"Yes!"
The people from the Xie Mansion rushed forward, broke into the princess's mansion, carried the person out, put her directly on the carriage and drove away.
"Old Duke, this..."
Li Wei was stunned by the smooth robbery in Xie Mansion.
Old Duke Xie patted Li Wei on the shoulder and said:
"Xiaojiu, your brain has been muddled for half your life, but you've finally come to your senses. You have a good eye this time. Leave this kid to me, don't worry."
After saying that, he patted his butt and left.
Li Wei was left blushing.
The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion had no choice but to hurry back to report the news.
"Princess, what's going on? Why has Brother Liao suddenly become so popular?" Skinny Monkey was very puzzled.
Li Wei slowly came back to her senses at this moment.
"Quick, tell the Emperor's eldest sister about this."
Liao Zhiyi is a member of the Zhenbei Army, and this matter is of great importance. Ah Ci's father, the Zhenbei Marquis, is accused of treason and collaborating with the enemy, but she still refuses to believe it.
Looking at what happened tonight, her intuition told her that Liao Zhiyi was the key figure in this matter.
"Liao Zhiyi, you must not die!"
……
Xiangfu.
"Prime Minister, the person was taken away by Duke Xie."
The butler came to report.
"How did he get involved?"
Prime Minister Cui frowned. Why was this old man so ubiquitous? It would be difficult to deal with Liao Zhiyi if he entered Duke Xie's mansion.
Seeing that Prime Minister Cui was silent, the staff member beside him said:
"Prime Minister, now that things have come to this, it's impossible to help the Emperor cover up. It's better to just let him go."
Cui Xiang nodded.
"It can only be done this way. The Emperor favors Prince Jing, and he needs to save face. But everything must be done in moderation! If he continues to act perversely, the people will eventually lose their support."
"Prime Minister, isn't this even better? This way, His Royal Highness Prince Kang can restore order and comply with the will of the people!"
"That's right! When the time comes, I will tell the Emperor that I have done my best."
"That's right, King Kang is our future!"
……
At the Xie Mansion, several doctors took turns to perform the treatment.
Lord Xie specifically instructed: "No matter what, his life must be saved."
Loyal ministers died on the battlefield, but were cursed after their death.
Duke Xie will never allow such injustice to happen.
Touching the golden mace at his waist, Duke Xie felt a dangerous signal coming out of him, which made his heart twitch.
"Dad, what are your plans?"
Before Duke Xie could answer, his men ran in and handed him a secret letter.
When Duke Xie opened it, he slapped his thigh with joy!
"Excellent! It really is what you want!"
"What's wrong, Dad?"
Duke Xie handed the letter to his son, very excited:
"This is a letter from Mr. Su, the counselor to Prince Su. He says a group of witnesses are on their way to Shengjing. Hurry, son, gather the troops and leave the city immediately. You go and pick them up yourself."
Duke Xie took the letter and read it.
"Mr. Su is truly a prophet! Father, with this witness, the injustice done to the Marquis of Zhenbei will surely be cleared."
"That's right! We absolutely cannot let a loyal minister be wronged! Son, when you receive the person, send him directly to the Huguo Temple. There are many refugees in the Huguo Temple, and it's not easy to arouse suspicion. And with the protection of the eldest princess, it's safe."
"it is good!"
Old Duke Xie became so happy that he slammed the table, causing it to shake twice and then break into pieces with a crack.
"He doesn't believe it, doesn't he? He wants evidence, right? I'll put the evidence in front of him and make him open his eyes wide and see it clearly!"
"The Emperor gave me this golden mace to strike down treacherous ministers and incompetent rulers. If it weren't for his repeated foolish actions, Daqi wouldn't have fallen to this point. The war in the north is raging, and the people are suffering. This is all caused by his foolishness, his belief in slander, his refusal to admit his mistakes, and his blind indulgence."
"If he persists in his delusion this time, and continues to confuse right and wrong, calling a horse a zebra, and deceiving the public for the sake of the royal family's worthless reputation, I wouldn't mind finding someone with a clear mind to be the emperor!"
Lord Xie said solemnly.
Duke Xie shuddered, shut up, and quickly gathered his men and horses to leave the city.
