Douluo: Zodiac Tower

Chapter 267 Xia Hou reveals the secret
Xiahou's words can be said to be bold, but they are not over yet.

Since King Tang wanted to make trouble, Xia Hou was not unaccustomed to him, so he smiled and said, "Your Majesty wants to curry favor with the academy, I can understand that, after all, there would be no Tang Dynasty without the Academy, but you have always made a mistake about one thing, Your Majesty."

King Tang suppressed his anger: "What's the matter?"

Xia Hou asked: "Your Majesty wants to reverse the case for Lin Guangyuan because of Mr. Shisan of the Academy, but does Your Majesty know whose son Mr. Shisan is?"

"Naturally he is the son of General Lin." Tang Wang was a little puzzled.

The other ministers also looked at Xiahou strangely, feeling that Xiahou was a bit flustered and dared to be so presumptuous, and wondered why Xiahou would raise this question.

Back then, Xuanwei General Lin Guangyuan's treason case made a lot of noise. Now Ning Que with a crooked mouth has completed his counterattack, admitted to the academy, became Mr. Thirteen, and actively reversed the case for the Lin family. Many people took it for granted that Ning Que with a crooked mouth was Lin Guangyuan's son.

Xia Hou laughed loudly: "That's wrong. Ning Que is Xing Ning, not Lin. Perhaps His Majesty thought that Ning Que changed his name because he was afraid of being hunted down, but in fact, his name was Ning Que. His father is not General Xuanwei, not a school lieutenant, not an official, not even a clerk, but just the concierge of General Xuanwei's mansion, named Ning Xian."

"His mother, named Li Sanniang, was a maidservant of humble birth, who was the nanny of Young Master Lin."

"..."

As soon as this remark came out, the hall was in an uproar. Such an answer can be said to be unexpected.

They broke their heads and never thought that Ning Que, who became famous with a crooked mouth, was actually just a little-known son of a concierge!
Think about it too.

No one stipulates that the son of the concierge is not eligible for revenge!

Grassroots rising revenge, although far from what they expected, is not unacceptable.

King Tang was silent for a moment, realizing that he had taken it for granted.

At first, he also thought that Ning Que with the crooked mouth was Lin Guangyuan's son, but he didn't expect to have an oolong.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Wang said in a deep voice, "Even if Mister Shisan is really the son of the concierge, he is still qualified to reverse the case for the Lin family."

"Your Majesty, you are wrong again!" Xiahou looked at King Tang with an idiot's eyes.

Let Tang Wang almost flip the table.

As long as you have too many things, don't I want to lose face as an emperor?
Considering the demeanor of the king, Tang Wang suppressed his anger: "Where is my mistake?"

Xiahou said: "Everyone in this world is qualified to reverse the case for the Lin family, except Mr. Thirteen."

King Tang frowned: "What do you mean?"

Xiahou said loudly: "Back then, I led people to kill Lin Guangyuan, but Ning Que escaped. Does Your Majesty know how he escaped?"

Tang Wang shook his head: "I don't know, what is the connection?"

At this moment, Tang Wang had already entered Xiahou's rhythm, only to hear Xiahou said in a hurry: "When Lin's mansion was robbed, the young master of the Lin family, the housekeeper, and Ning Que avoided hunting together."

"In order to protect the blood of the Lin family, the steward of the Lin family asked Ning Que to pretend to be the young master of the Lin family, and wanted him to die on his behalf."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding officials all pricked up their ears.

It is a matter of course for high-ranking officials like people to let the servants lead to death.

But now Ning Que, who was supposed to die on his behalf, was alive and well, but it was the young master of the Lin family who died.

What happened?
Thinking hard!
Xia Hou looked around: "You must also be wondering why the dead should live on behalf of the dead. In fact, it is very simple. In order to survive, Ning Que killed the young master of the Lin family and the housekeeper, and used their corpses to fight for a way out for himself."

At the end, Xia Hou looked at King Tang: "May I ask, Your Majesty, what qualifications does a person who is unfaithful and unrighteous and kills his master for survival have to commit crimes for the Lin family?"

"This……"

The king of Tang had nothing to say, the most taboo thing for those in high positions was the infidelity of his subordinates.

After all, it was a feudal society, and people were divided into different classes. Even if Tang Wang was enlightened, he could not openly protect the disloyal.

It is a felony for a domestic servant to kill his master!
If the king of Tang continued to favor, wouldn't he think that there was nothing wrong with killing the lord.

If everyone followed suit, wouldn't it encourage others to rebel against him?
But these are Xiahou's one-sided words, Tang Wang didn't believe them all: "Do you have evidence?"

Xiahou asked back: "Your Majesty wants to see it? If you have real evidence, how should Your Majesty treat Mister Shisan like this?"

These words made King Tang almost vomit blood.

That's right, if Xiahou really proves that the crooked mouth Ning Que committed the crime below and killed the master to survive, how should he deal with it?

If it is an ordinary person, the king of Tang will definitely sentence him to rectify the law.

But Ning Que with the crooked mouth is the thirteenth teacher of the academy, and the master's disciple.

And Master is the backer of Tang State and the person he respects the most.

Now Tang Wang looks more and more upset at Xiahou. He really didn't expect that he would go around and go around, and finally got himself into it, and he was in a dilemma.

Prince Li Peiyan didn't want to give up this opportunity. He had a deep resentment towards his wife. It was because of his wife's words that he missed the throne.

Li Peiyan has always been brooding about this.

Moreover, Lin Guangyuan was also responsible for wronging Lin Guangyuan for treason.

No one knows how wronged you are than the person who wronged you.

Li Peiyan knew very well that Lin Guangyuan was framed by himself and Xiahou and others.

Now that the crooked mouth Ning Que wanted to take revenge, he was also the target of the other party's revenge, so naturally he seized the opportunity and punished him to death.

"Ning Que committed crimes against his superiors, killing his master to survive. Such a despicable and shameless person has become the master's disciple. It seems that the master sometimes misses it."

Li Peiyan's words are puns, with meanings.

The most is the ruthless emperor's family. It is true that he and Tang Wang are brothers, but the relationship is not good. He is happy to see Tang Wang in trouble.

Haotian Dao Nanmen Guoshi said: "This matter is all General Xiahou's one-sided words, and I think it is not credible."

Xiahou is not afraid of big things, the bigger the things, the more points he gets.

Immediately said: "Why don't you tell Mr. Shisan to confront him in the court? Didn't he always want to know the truth, and he was afraid that he couldn't bear the truth."

In the matter of Lin Guangyuan, Xiahou was at fault, he wronged Lin Guangyuan, but Xiahou felt that he was saving the world.

In terms of starting point, perhaps most of the elements were forced, but he believed that he was trying to destroy the son of Pluto, and he was right in righteousness.

Even if it happened again, under the original situation, Xiahou would still make the same choice, and he would do it even better.

In contrast, Ning Que with the crooked mouth was saving himself.

But in this feudal era, as a servant, killing the young master in order to survive is an absolutely unforgivable crime in the eyes of all the officials in the court.

Because they are all in high positions, it is easy to substitute for the role.

Imagine, if you are in trouble, but the servants kill their children to live, what kind of mood would it be?
I must have wanted to kill this girl!

Xiahou's move was to retreat as an advance, diverting the trouble to the east, successfully drawing everyone's attention from the treason case of the Lin family to the issue of Ning Que's murder of the young master of the Lin family.

If the King of Tang wanted to continue his business, Xiahou might have a hard time, and Ning Que, who had a crooked mouth, would definitely suffer as well.

And once the facts are confirmed, Ning Que's reputation will definitely be ruined.

How many people would believe the words of a person who killed the master and was unfaithful?
