Chapter 25 He must be connected with the assassin
The group went straight back to the palace, surrounded by the black armor guards.
Xiao Yiran asked Xie Xunfeng nervously, "Xunfeng, how did you know about the assassin in advance?"
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Yiran, "Intuition!"
Xiao Yiran was still expecting Xie Xunfeng to explain something, but it seemed that this was Xie Xunfeng's answer.
"Xunfeng, you still have to think of a more suitable reason. Otherwise, Xiao Nalan and the others will definitely come to frame you later." Xiao Yiran said to Xie Xunfeng with some concern.
Xiao Yiran's worries were not unnecessary.
Xie Xunfeng shouted like this.
Xiao Wenyan and Xiao Nalan caught Xie Xunfeng's flaws
This made many responsible persons think of the person who was trying to pass the buck first.
Although the emperor was not on the frame, he would definitely hold someone accountable.
And Xie Xunfeng, who is tongue-tied and a little silly, is undoubtedly the most suitable one.
Xie Xunfeng looked around and saw that many people were looking at her unkindly.
In particular, Xiao Nalan had a provocative look on his face and even made a gesture of wiping his neck towards Xie Xunfeng.
Xie Xunfeng smiled helplessly and didn't take it seriously at all.
When he was preparing to rescue this group of people, he had already thought of various consequences.
…
He entered the palace surrounded by the black-armored guards.
Under the command of a eunuch.
A group of princesses were taken to the back hall of the Golden Throne Hall.
The princes and officials were brought to the Golden Palace to wait.
The princes stood in rows of four according to their age.
Xie Xunfeng's position was the last among the princes.
The Emperor of Daxia was also quite fertile.
There were sixteen princes who had reached adulthood.
On both sides of the Golden Throne Hall, civil officials and military generals stood on the left and right.
Because the emperor did not go to the palace.
Everyone was whispering about the assassination that had just happened.
Xiao Wenyan also took the lead and said to Xie Xunfeng, "Xie Jizi, the assassins haven't started yet, how do you know there are assassins? Could it be that you are in collusion with those assassins?"
After Xiao Wenyan spoke, several princes who were on good terms with Xiao Wenyan also spoke up.
"Yes, Xie Hanzi, how did you know? Tell the truth quickly. How did you know? What is your relationship with the assassin?"
"If you don't tell me today, I'll chop off your head."
…
Several princes questioned Xie Xunfeng.
Xie Xunfeng always had a calm smile on his face.
After seeing this scene, Xiao Wenyan became more certain.
Without Xiao Yiran's help, Xie Hanzi's stupid nature was completely exposed.
"You idiot, what are you laughing at? We are talking to you? Do you hear me?" The ninth prince Xiao Wennan, who was standing next to Xiao Wenyan, walked up to Xie Xunfeng and cursed him while pointing at him.
Before Xie Xunfeng changed his expression, the Fourth Prince Xiao Wenqin said, "Old Nine, what are you going to do? Are you going to make a fool of yourself again? If it weren't for Xie Zhizi's words, we would not have been ambushed by those thieves. If we had fallen into an ambush, would you and I still be able to stand in the court and criticize them?"
"Xiao Wenqin, what's wrong? Are you in cahoots with this idiot? Am I wrong in my suspicion? Then help him explain, the assassins didn't take action, and even the Black Armor Guards didn't notice. How did a idiot like him find out?" Xiao Wennan said.
Xiao Wenqin looked at Xiao Wennan and said, "Old Nine, brains are good things, but unfortunately you don't have them. Xie Jizi is colluding with the assassins, so he definitely won't speak. Instead, he can't wait to let you into the ambush! Then tell me, why did he remind you?"
Xiao Wennan said with disdain, "What does Hanzi think in his world? You ask me, how would I know?"
Xiao Wenyan stood up and said to Xiao Wenqin, "Fourth Brother, you are very abnormal today. Why are you so anxious to help Xie Hanzi? Before, when he was wronged, you didn't help him."
Without waiting for the argument to continue.
From one side came a loud shout from an eunuch, "Your Majesty has arrived."
Everyone knelt on the ground.
Xie Xunfeng always forgot to kneel down. The round-faced Sixteenth Prince beside him pulled him aside and said, "Xie Jizi, what are you standing there for? Kneel down!"
Only then did Xie Xunfeng come to his senses.
Then the crowd shouted "Long live the emperor".
A rough and vicissitudes voice also came from the center of the hall.
"Everyone, please stand up!"
After everyone stood up, Xie Xunfeng also saw the emperor's face clearly.
The emperor's name is Xiao Shentian.
He was about forty years old, with a square face full of the vicissitudes of life on the battlefield, especially his eyes, which were firm and steady.
Among all the emperors of Daxia, Xiao Shentian is considered a weird one.
Daxia was a country founded on literature, and emperors of all dynasties were men of outstanding literary talent.
Only when it comes to Xiao Shentian, he doesn't like to study literature and prefers martial arts.
With his extraordinary martial arts and military talents, he stood out from his brothers.
She was the only one favored by the late emperor.
He was made the crown prince and inherited the throne.
He was also one of the few emperors in Daxia's history who succeeded to the throne without bloodshed and without conflicts between brothers.
On the contrary, his succession to the throne was supported by a group of brothers.
From this we can see that Xiao Shentian has his own way of dealing with people and things.
"I think you all were frightened just now." Xiao Shentian sat on the dragon throne and looked down at the people in the room.
"Thanks to the great blessing of my father! Although we were in danger, we got through it safely! Fortunately, my father was not in the carriage!" Xiao Wenyan was very clever and stood up and said to the emperor.
A number of civil officials echoed the sentiment and thanked His Majesty for his great blessing.
Xiao Shentian laughed a few times and then said, "I heard that you guys are not blessed by me, but by Xie Zhizi. If he hadn't reminded you in time, I'm afraid that more than half of the people present would be injured today."
The whole place was silent, no one responded.
Seeing this, Xiao Shentian said, "It seems that everyone disagrees! Then, everyone, please tell me what you think about this assassination."
Everyone looks at me and I look at you.
Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Chen Dezhao stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you were not present at the scene! Therefore, you do not know the situation. However, I and others were present at the scene and I saw it with my own eyes. Before the assassins started to assassinate, Xie Zhizi knew there were assassins as if he had divine help! He injured an assassin on the spot and accurately pointed out where the ambush was! It is hard not to suspect that he was connected with the assassins!"
Xie Xunfeng smiled faintly. This Chen Dezhao was exactly Chen Yuanyuan's father.
At the garden party, Chen Yuanyuan was stripped naked and tied up in Jingzhao Mansion.
Chen Yuanyuan is his only daughter and he dotes on her, which makes him furious. Now he has finally got the chance, so he will naturally not let it go easily.
"Your Majesty, what Lord Chen said is exactly. As everyone knows, Xie Zhizi's intelligence is lower than that of ordinary people. So he can be easily exploited. There are many doubts about this matter, but no matter what, Xie Zhizi cannot escape the responsibility. I think we should put Xie Zhizi in jail first, and make a decision after the prison officials have investigated the matter thoroughly!" Wu Guozhang stepped forward and said with a bow.
