Chapter 27: Confusion of right and wrong
Xiao Shentian said to the ministers, "Then you wait here."
As he said this, he went to the side hall.
After calling the leader of the imperial guards and discussing with him how to arrange the assassins, he returned to the palace once again.
Xiao Shentian said to everyone, "Gentlemen, I have made all the arrangements. Let's go together and see if Xie Jizi is lying or not."
As he spoke, Xiao Shentian walked in front.
All the princes followed closely behind, followed by civil and military officials.
"Xie Hanzi, I told you not to show off just now, and now you are stupid. I have a way, you should pretend to faint now! As long as we send you to the Imperial Hospital first, you will have a chance to escape." The fat Sixteenth Prince who was following Xie Xunfeng said to Xie Xunfeng.
Xie Xunfeng smiled and didn't respond.
The sixteenth prince said to Xie Xunfeng, "What are you laughing at? I'm telling you a solution. You..."
Seeing Xie Xunfeng's smiling face, the Sixteenth Prince slapped his forehead and said, "I am just bored! Why am I saying all this to a fool like you..."
After walking for a while, he pointed out a road and said, "There are three palaces on this road. In one of the palaces, I have hidden a total of ten imperial guards. If you can accurately tell me the location, I will believe you."
After Xie Xunfeng finished speaking, he nodded and walked straight to the first one.
Everyone followed behind.
Xie Xunfeng's eyes became sharp.
The scenery in front of him suddenly became clear in Xie Xunfeng's eyes.
No slightest trace could escape Xie Xunfeng's eyes.
Arrived at the first palace.
Xie Xunfeng said without thinking, "Your Majesty, the assassin is in this palace."
Although Xiao Shentian was surprised, his expression remained calm.
"Are you sure? Why don't you try other palaces? If this palace is the wrong one, then the moment you step in, it means you have failed!" Xiao Shentian said.
After listening to Xiao Shentian's words, Xie Xunfeng walked straight in without stopping at all.
…
"Hmph...what a fool. Father, did he make the wrong choice?" Xiao Wenyan said to Xiao Shentian with a smile.
Wu Guozhang, who was standing by, also gloated and said, "We can go and call the prison warden to come over and give this..."
"Is there anything I said wrong?" Xiao Shentian said coldly.
The whole audience was in an uproar.
Did this fool really guess right?
Xiao Shentian followed him in and saw Xie Xunfeng walking around the palace.
"Xie Hanzi, can't you find it? You said you can sense danger... You can't search the whole house..."
"I have found out that your Majesty is an assassin and his location is..."
Xie Xunfeng succinctly pointed out the hiding places of the ten assassins.
He glanced at the eunuch beside him and said, "Go find it according to where he said."
Because Xiao Shentian asked the commander of the imperial guards to make random arrangements.
Even he doesn't know.
The first imperial guard was found.
Xiao Wenyan said with disdain, "Humph, playing tricks, it's just luck..."
However, as the second, third, and even the tenth imperial guard found out...
The whole audience was silent!
Wu Guozhang and his group looked extremely unhappy, and shook their heads repeatedly, saying that this was impossible...
Is this fool still a human being?
How did he do that?
Shock!
Everyone in the audience was shocked.
Facts speak louder than words!
This Xie Proton really has the ability to foresee danger!
Xiao Wenqin was the first to applaud and break the silence. He then bowed respectfully to Xie Xunfeng and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jiezi, for saving my life today..."
As long as they were not from Wu Guozhang's camp, everyone expressed their gratitude to Xie Xunfeng.
"This is impossible! This fool... this fool must..."
"Okay, do you want to say that he bribed me? Did I tell him?" Xiao Shentian said with a hint of displeasure when he saw Xiao Wenyan was about to make excuses again.
"I dare not!" Xiao Wenyan said.
Xiao Shentian said to everyone at this time, "Let's all go back to the Golden Throne Hall. It is clear who is right and who is wrong!"
…
Inside the Golden Palace.
Xiao Shentian looked at everyone with a stern face and said, "What else do you have to say? Humph, what a joke. He saved you with good intentions, but you framed him... What exactly are your intentions?"
Everyone couldn't help but lower their heads.
When the Fourth Prince Xiao Wenqin heard this, he felt that the time had come.
He took a step forward, clasped his hands and spoke.
"Father, I have taught you a lesson. I think they must be punished. Today, whether it is Wu Guozhang, Chen Fuyin, or even the eldest prince, they are all seeking revenge for personal gain!"
"Taking revenge for personal gain?" Xiao Shentian said with a frown.
"Father, you don't know. During the time when you were away, Kyoto City was very lively..." Xiao Wenqin seized the opportunity.
Xiao Wenqin first told the whole story of how Xiao Nalan planned to murder Xie Xunfeng but was ruined by Xiao Yiran, who almost beat Xie Xunfeng to death, and then he found a son-in-law for Xiao Yiran in the Red Mansion and how he stripped Chen Yuanyuan of her clothes after the garden party.
"Father, so whether it's Chen Fu Yin, Wu Guo Zhang or the eldest prince, they all hold a grudge against Xie Zhizi. This is a personal revenge!"
Seeing this, Xiao Wenyan pointed at Xiao Wenqin and said, "Old Four, you are confusing right and wrong..."
Xiao Shentian's face darkened to the extreme. He snorted coldly and said, "Xiao Wenyan, shut up! Don't I know Nalan's character?"
Then he said to the back hall in a cold voice, "Xiao Nalan! Get out here!"
Xiao Nalan, who had been arrogant in the back hall, walked out with a pale face.
He looked to Wu Guozhang for help.
Wu Guozhang made a slight lip movement.
Xiao Nalan immediately thought of the strategy they had discussed.
Suddenly, he ran up with a dramatic attitude.
With a face full of grievance, he pointed at Xiao Wenqin and said, "Fourth brother...you...why are you talking nonsense...what good did that vixen Xiao Yiran give you! Why are you confusing right and wrong to speak for her..."
"Father! I am innocent! It was Xiao Yiran who seduced Xie Jizi first. I did not poison Xie Jizi at all. She staged and acted out a good play to poison Xie Jizi."
"Xie Jizi is kind-hearted, but he was deceived by that bitch! He thought I was going to harm him."
"I was really afraid of losing Xie the hostage, so I set up the Red Mansion to recruit a son-in-law for Xiao Yiran! However, it was not what I told Fourth Brother at all. The sons-in-law I found for the Third Princess were all good ones! It's just that the Third Princess wanted to snatch my man away, and was unwilling to accept the son-in-law I recommended for her... Father, all this is because of that bitch Xiao Yiran! Father, she wants to snatch my husband away, can't I just lose my temper? My royal brother and grandfather are also feeling sorry for me! Father, I am the victim, please help me!" Xiao Nalan cried like a tearful person and almost died.
