Chapter 853: You Are The Defendant Now
And the third princess also had a look of hopeful eyes, Li Mingyue actually had a private meeting with a wild man in the princess' mansion, if it got out, wouldn't Li Mingyue be ashamed?
Thinking of this, the third princess said, "Brother Huang! What Mingyue Huangmei has done is really a disgrace to my royal family! I will definitely report Ming Father Huang's punishment. Otherwise, what will be the face of my Zhou Kingdom?"
Prince Zhou nodded and said, "Your sister is right!"
After all, the Crown Prince of Zhou State summoned the guards and said, "Come on, follow me to capture that adulterer!"
Under the leadership of King Loulan, a group of people rushed in.
When everyone went in, they first saw Xiao Ye in front of the Princess Mansion.
King Loulan pointed at Xiao Ye and said, "That's him! This is the man, and this man is the thief's accomplice!"
Seeing Xiao Ye, Prince Zhou couldn't help but startled slightly: "Deputy envoy?"
Seeing King Loulan, Xiao Ye was puzzled and said, "This person burglarized and attempted to commit crimes. Why didn't he punish him according to the law?"
King Loulan gritted his teeth and said, "You're spitting blood! It's obvious that Princess Mingyue met men privately, but now they must be doing mediocre things in the bedroom!"
King Loulan was also surprised for a moment when he heard the prince call the deputy envoy, but he was not surprised for too long.
Nowadays, the countries of the Western Regions have sent envoys to the Zhou Kingdom more or less, and many small countries in the Western Regions regard the costumes of the Central Plains as their beauty. These are common things, and they are the envoys of the Western Regions that are still in the Zhou Kingdom. Loulan is the largest, so King Loulan, as the lord of a country, feels that there is no need to be afraid of them.
Xiao Ye said: "It's not burglary, why did you climb over the wall and come in? I can see clearly!"
King Loulan gritted his teeth and said, "This king is trying to catch the adulterer!"
Xiao Ye clasped his hands together and said, "Who can prove it? Maybe you, King Loulan, can't meet the princess, and you don't know if you want to sneak in to see the princess's face. If the deputy envoy didn't find out in time and stop him, I wouldn't know you What will happen to the princess?"
When Xiao Ye said this, the eyes of Prince Zhou and the third princess shifted from Xiao Ye to King Loulan.
King Loulan gritted his teeth and said, "His Royal Highness, you must not believe this person's rumors! Obviously another man came in first, and the two of us came here to catch rape!"
Xiao Ye: "Do you have evidence?"
King Loulan said in a deep voice, "What I see is evidence!"
Xiao Ye waved his hand and said, "Be sober, you are not the evidence, but the defendant."
King Loulan and the attendants in black were stunned when they heard Xiao Ye's words. They were here to catch the rape. They were witnesses, and they were the plaintiffs. Why did they become defendants when this young man told him? !
King Loulan gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you're right, why are you guarding outside, but the man who didn't do anything from the beginning to the end and the princess didn't show up in the house? Do you dare to say that you are not looking out for them? "
Xiao Ye said: "Brother Xu is the envoy, and I am the deputy envoy. Since it was our country's envoy who rescued the princess, is it wrong for the princess to thank the envoy first?"
King Loulan had never seen such a brazen person, and he said angrily, "You are making too much sense!"
Xiao Ye dismissively said: "At any rate, I still have a reason to fight, unlike some people who can't even find a reason..."
At this moment, a group of palace guards rushed in from outside the mansion, and said, "Your Majesty calls you into the palace!"
Princess Mingyue was going to be sent to Loulan for friendship. Someone in the palace had been watching every move of Princess Mingyue's mansion. The prince, King Loulan, and the three princesses were all gathered in Princess Mingyue, which had already alarmed the Emperor of Zhou.
King Loulan looked at Xiao Ye and said in a deep voice: "Do you and your envoy dare to follow this king to His Majesty to have a debate on Righteous & Evil?!"
Xiao Ye smiled and said, "Why don't you dare?"
Emperor Zhou ordered these people to enter the palace, so Xu Qing and Li Mingyue could no longer hide in the house to watch the play, so they came out and entered the palace with them.
Li Mingyue walked beside Xu Qing and sighed, so he didn't know how much time would be wasted.
Xu Qing said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Li Mingyue just lowered her head when she heard Xu Qing's words, and moved closer to Xu Qing.
...
In the royal study
Sitting behind the imperial case, Emperor Zhou looked at the group of people who had been brought to the imperial study by the imperial guards, and said, "Half the capital city has almost heard your quarrels, why are you arguing?"
King Loulan was the first to file a complaint, pointing to Xu Qing and said, "His Majesty the Emperor Qizuo, this person met the princess privately in the mansion! I was about to capture the princess with my subordinates, but unexpectedly he had an accomplice and wounded me and the guards to the ground." , I beg Your Majesty to make the decision!"
Zhou Huang looked at Xu Qing and Xiao Ye and couldn't help feeling a bit of bitterness in his heart. King Loulan really gave him a problem. These two are from Chu, and one is equivalent to a prince. Now Chu almost dominates For half the world, letting him send Xiao Ye down is no different from sending him down to the prince of Chu.
However, if the crime of Xu Qing's secret affair is confirmed, Zhou Guo will offend Chu State no matter how he handles it. Originally, Zhou State owed Chu State a favor. It's bound to get worse.
If the strengths of the two countries are evenly matched, the loss will be lost. If it is really a private meeting with the princess, then it is the fault of Chu State, but Chu State is now the strongest country in the world, and Zhou State is still in a weak state against Chu State. We must be cautious.
But now that the arrow is on the line, if he really ignores it, it will damage Zhou Guo's national prestige. Doesn't it mean that Zhou Guo is afraid of Chu State?
Thinking of this, Emperor Zhou looked at Xu Qing and asked, "What does Zhengshi have to say?"
Xu Qing cupped hands and said: "I just made it very clear in the princess mansion. The foreign ministers and deputy envoys found that King Loulan and his subordinates had crossed the courtyard wall and entered the princess mansion. The foreign ministers naturally thought that Loulan King was the thief who stole , the route is not flat, draw your sword to help, and capture this thief for the Princess Mansion, that's all!"
King Loulan said angrily: "Nonsense! When I turned the page, I clearly saw you and Princess Mingyue in the courtyard together! Please learn from your Majesty!"
Xu Qing looked at King Loulan and said: "Assuming that what you said is correct and you are here to catch traitors, then you can go through the main entrance. After finding certification such as the third princess or the prince, you can go in through the main entrance openly. What are you doing?" Why do you want to climb over the wall?"
King Loulan snorted coldly: "Even if what you said is true, didn't you come in through the wall?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "That's quite different. The two of us thought that a thief had entered the Princess's mansion. Naturally, it takes a lot of speed to catch the thief. After all, he can be private every day. Can't the thief always catch the family stealing?" ? Missed this time, who knows which one they will steal next time? Naturally, the sooner the better, is there any problem?"
