Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 167 Crime

The original meaning of the emperor's words is to test it, and I want to see what Xie Xi reacts.

However, Xie Xi was happy after hearing this: "Even if my father doesn't say it, I want to find an opportunity to scold me. I beat the dog in the water, but I like it the most."

Xie Xi's statement was beyond the emperor's expectations, but it seemed to be reasonable.

The emperor remembered the secret report from the East Factory, saying that Xie Xi came to the door and beat Xie Yan, and Xie Yan vomited half a liter of blood.

The emperor was also quite troubled by this son, but after hearing what he said, he felt relieved. Although Xie Xi acted absurdly in daily life, he was never confused during the festival. I think he was disdainful to hang out with Xie Yan.

The emperor felt relaxed, but he still rebuked: "You child, you are not serious. Although Xie Yan is a crime, he is still your cousin. You took action rashly today, but you hurt him very much. If other royal families know, they will put the crime of treating the royal family on my head."

The prince of King Wei dared to collude with Beidi to poison him, so he was naturally unforgivable. However, the emperor was still in a dilemma regarding the handling of King Wei.

Since the search of the Wei Wang Mansion, Cao Lang has successively found several boxes of things. These boxes contain the evidence of dozens of in-service officials, which is the tool for Prince Wei to grasp the officials.

Collecting so much evidence of crime is not a matter of overnight. It must be accumulated over time, and I still don’t know how much manpower and financial resources have been used.

King Wei is his legitimate younger brother, the most important existence among the Dayan vassal kings. The vassal kings from all over the country, including court officials, were watching King Wei's treatment.

Even if the court brought out evidence, those people thought they were intentionally framed.

Xie Xi didn't care about Cao Lang's sarcasm. As soon as he entered the imperial prison, he smelled a strong bloody smell mixed with the smell of mold, which made people feel sick.

For the past day, Cao Lang and the others in the East Factory did not ask any questions. Every last hour, a torture would be greeted by him.

Xie Yan suffered a lot this day. The man shouted, Xie Yan was extremely conscious and stopped talking immediately.

"I have just come from my father. My father said that as long as you tell me the origin of the boxes in your house, you will not care about your charge of poisoning him."

A day ago, he was still the noble Prince of King Wei, and few people in the capital dared to offend him.

Xie Yan seemed to have not heard Xie Xi speak, and still lowered his head.

"I want to see my father, right? I want to hear your reasons." Xie Xi sat casually on a roving chair beside him and said to Xie Yan with a smile.

If Xie Yan did not have the identity of Prince Wei, no matter which of these two charges were, they would be enough to destroy the nine clans.

If King Wei was demoted, then the vassal kings in various places would not care about the reason, and would only be disappointed.

He looked at the door with great effort and saw Xie Xi who was coming side by side with Cao Lang at a glance. Seeing that the person coming was Xie Xi instead of Xie Hui, he then lowered his head again.

Xie Yan was waiting for the emperor's will. He firmly believed that neither his father nor Xie Hui would ignore him, so he had been gritting his teeth and did not give any clues.

But now that the King Wei Mansion has been searched, it is already a difficult situation to get rid of the tiger. If you take it lightly behind, the court and the public will think that the emperor, as a ruler, is invisible.

Xie Yan was hung on a wooden stand, his head hanging down and motionless. After a day and night, he was tortured like an unparalleled person. How could he have the romantic feelings of a handsome young man in the past?

The person in charge of the case of the Prince of Wei was Cao Lang, who was also a veteran of Xie Xi. A few days ago, Xie Xi temporarily took charge of the imperial guards and had a fight with Cao Lang more than once.

If King Wei received the favor, other vassal kings would naturally think that the emperor intended to treat the royal family well.

Cao Lang took a step forward and was far away from Xie Xi without any trace. Then he smiled sinisterly: "Your Highness has promoted me, and I just take care of the prisoners for Your Majesty, and I dare not ask about the case at will. Since Your Highness has received the order, I will ask Your Highness to take charge of the overall situation."

Xie Yan was startled with a look of surprise and doubt, not knowing whether Xie Xi was deliberately lying to him or whether he had found some useful clues.

In addition, he is the best at avenging private revenge!

Early the next morning, Xie Xi appeared at the door of the jail of the Fushi Department.

Then a rude man beside him shouted loudly: "What are you calling me blindly! Your Majesty has a lot of trouble and has no time to see you!"

He made up his mind that he and Xie Xi have always had a grudge. Xie Xi would not be kind enough to save him, probably because he came to take charge.

Xie Xi's words contain two meanings. One layer is that Xie Yan ordered people to poison the emperor, and the other layer is that the boxes on the Wei Wang Mansion have been searched by the East Factory.

When Xie Xi saw Cao Lang, he was not polite to him. When he got closer, he put his shoulder on Cao Lang and asked with a smile: "Eunuch Cao, has the prisoner confessed? I am waiting for the truth about you."

After one day, the prisoner would naturally admit everything without asking questions from the East Factory.

He saw blood spots on his clothes, his eyes were red and swollen, and a large piece of blue and purple on his forehead. His hair turned dark gray, and his hair was condensed into knots by sweat and dust, and he hung in front of his chest in strands.

He heard the footsteps outside and felt a glimmer of hope, and shouted with all his might: "I am close to the clan family. Taizu has an order, and the clan family members are not allowed to be punished! You do not have any ancestral system, I want to see the emperor! I want to see Your Majesty!"

This is naturally a method of the East Factory. Every prisoner who enters the tutoring department will torture him first without asking for the charges.

In short, if you are not careful in this matter, it will shake the root of Dayan.

The emperor regretted that he was too impulsive and shouldn't have searched the Wei Palace so openly.

However, after entering the imperial prison of the tutoring department, he tasted the feeling of falling from the clouds to hell.

At the same time, he also had some resentment towards the East Factory. After so many hours, he chose to go ahead with the court meeting and made such a big fanfare!

Since the emperor spoke, Xie Xi accepted it without hesitation. He wanted to see what medicine Xie Yan had taken was wrong and he actually thought about proposing a marriage to Su Su.

Xie Xi didn't know that his father's heart was already in a mess, and he said with a smile: "Just minister wants to teach him a lesson, but he doesn't think about it. Even with him, a toad, dares to think about swan meat? Of course he should be beaten!"

Seeing that he was still silent, Xie Xi smiled and said, "What? Don't believe what I said, or don't believe that we have already grasped the evidence of your crime?"

Xie Yan snorted, turned his face to the other side, and left the back of his head to Xie Xi.

Xie Xi didn't care and said with a smile: "It seems that you don't believe me anymore, so I'll tell you two names. Well, Wu Jianliang, have you heard of this person?"

Xie Yan's face suddenly turned white, as if he had seen Guigui. He was still self-reliant and calm, and said, "I don't know what you are talking about!"
