Iron Dynasty

On the second day, Qingzhou prison.

Xiao Ming took Princess Pingyang to personally interrogate the father and son of the Wang family.

At this time, Xiao Mingcai asked Lu Fei to lift Wang Xuan out of the prison and meet with the Wang family.

In the Qingzhou government office, Xiao Ming sat on the main seat, and Princess Pingyang sat on the side.

Wang Chengchou, Wang Shijie, both of you are guilty! In the government office, Wang Shijie and his son, Wang Xuan, knelt on the ground at the same time.

Wang Chengchou was in the shock of seeing Wang Xuan, he came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Ming, His Royal Highness, what is the fault of the grass people?

His Royal Highness the Princess, my father and son are really wronged. Wang Shijie kept kowtowing, and the two now knew that they were involved in Wang Xuan's assassination of the Princess.

At this point, Wang Chengchou already understood that Xiao Ming finally took action against the Wang family. He smiled bitterly in his heart, but he did not expect that the arrival of the princess would become a reminder to their Wang family.

Both of you said you were wronged, so do you know this person? Princess Pingyang asked in a solemn voice.

Wang Chengchou looked at Wang Xuan, who had been tortured, and knew that he could not deny the fact at this time, so he said: I know, this person is Wang Xuan, he is Caomin's nephew, but he violated the laws of Qingzhou three months ago. Caomin was beaten to death, and Caomin doesn't know why he's still alive?

When he said this, Wang Chengchou looked at Xiao Ming.

King Qi, is there any such thing? Pingyang asked.

Xiao Ming nodded, That's true, Wang Yuanwai once said that the Wang family's private storage of farming cattle was done by this person, but his nephew thought that he was a local big family in the Wang family, so he let him deal with it by himself. As for what Wang Yuanwai would do with it, his nephew would It's not clear.

Princess Pingyang was accustomed to intrigue and intrigue in Chang'an City. This Wang Xuan was not favored by the Wang family, so how could he be so daring to hide the cattle.

In this case, Wang Xuan is obviously a scapegoat, and Wang Chengchou is trying to confuse Xiao Ming by accusing Wang Xuan of the crime.

If it was another vassal king, it is estimated that even if Wang Chengchou's crime was to be cured, Xiao Ming did not care about it, obviously he had some scruples in his heart. From this, it can be seen that the Wang family is really bold in Qingzhou.

Originally, she didn't believe that the Wang family would do this, but now her thoughts are a little loose. A local noble family has such contempt for the dignified son, what about her princess, this noble family?

After thinking for a while, Princess Pingyang said sternly: You don't know why he is still alive, does this palace know? Hmph, a small noble family is so bold, do you really think I am so easy to bully the Dayu royal family? Xiao Ming, Assassinating Ben Gong, what is the crime?

If it is true, when the whole family is slashed, the nine clans will be involved. Xiao Ming said softly.

Wang Chengchou was stunned. What he said just now was aimed at Xiao Ming, not at Princess Pingyang. He said anxiously: Your Highness Princess, Caomin really doesn't know how Wang Xuan is still alive, and this Wang Xuan is my second brother. If I want to assassinate the princess, how can I let him go, and the bastard born of a slut, besides, what is the benefit of the grassmen assassinating the princess to my royal family, please also ask your highness the princess to learn from it, and don’t be used by others.”

At this moment, Wang Xuan, who was lying on the ground, coughed violently and said hoarsely, Your Highness, I do things alone, and I do things alone. This matter has nothing to do with the Wang family, but was ordered by King Qi to do it, in order to get rid of the Wang family.

Xiao Ming's expression changed greatly, and he said angrily: It's full of nonsense, how could this king instruct you to assassinate my aunt?

Hehe, Your Highness, although I am not favored in the Wang family, I am also a member of the Wang family, how could I harm the Wang family so much?

You... Xiao Ming pointed at Wang Xuan, arrogant thief, where is Lu Fei?

The end is here! Lu Fei responded.

Serving with a big punishment, I see whether he is telling the truth or not. Xiao Ming jumped and became furious.

This sudden change made Princess Pingyang a little overwhelmed, and Ouyang Mu also looked strange, but Wang Chengchou's face was ashen at this time.

I've heard of Wang Yuanwai's resourcefulness and resourcefulness, and today's trick is really wonderful. Princess Pingyang seemed to have come to a realization after a brief stupor.

She walked up to the father and son of the Wang family and said, Although I am in Chang'an, I have some understanding of Qingzhou. In the past five years, your Wang family has regarded themselves as the local clan, and did not take King Qi seriously. Now I see King Qi working hard to rule. , I was afraid that King Qi would liquidate your royal family in the future, so I took advantage of this palace to go to Qingzhou, and staged this bitter plan, in order to frame King Qi and let the emperor remove King Qi's vassal king, your royal family can be safe No worries, right?

His Royal Highness, this is absolutely not the case, this Wang Xuan is talking nonsense. Wang Chengchou was hoarse.

When Wang Xuan framed King Qi, he knew it was over. If Wang Xuan insisted that the Wang family did it, Princess Pingyang would still suspect that Xiao Ming was secretly instigating it.

But this Wang Xuan is now insisting that it is the King of Qi. With Princess Pingyang's wisdom, he will only think too much and become self-defeating. In the end, he believes that it is the Wang family who did it.

Hmph, you also said Hei, and you also said Bai, so I ask you whether what Wang Xuan said is true or false. Princess Pingyang snorted.

Wang Shijie was so frightened that his limbs went limp. If convicted, he could not escape death. He shouted, Your Highness Princess, what Wang Xuan said is the truth. This matter has nothing to do with my Wang family.

Shut up! Wang Chengchou was shocked and angry, and pushed him to Wang Shijie.

Wang Shijie was also anxious, and shouted to Wang Chengchou: Father, we didn't do this in the first place. It must be King Qi who framed us. Wang Xuan is right. He is also a member of the Wang family and will not harm us.

There was a smile on Xiao Ming's mouth, and there was no need to say more about this matter.

At this time, Ouyang Mu said to Princess Pingyang: His Royal Highness, it is obvious that the father and son of the Wang family are lying. How could a person who was almost beaten to death by Wang Chengchou still speak for them? The only explanation is that Wang Xuan was originally the secret chess of the Wang family. Xuan and their father and son are actually the same raccoon dog, just to frame the King of Qi.

Princess Pingyang nodded, turned her head and asked Xiao Ming, King Qi, what do you think of this?

Aunt, if you have an accident in your nephew's fief, no matter who did it, with the character of the father and emperor, I am afraid that my nephew will inevitably be deprived of the throne of the vassal king. Although my nephew is stupid, it is not so stupid. Xiao Ming said lightly: What's the benefit to me of assassinating my aunt?

Auntie trusts you. Princess Pingyang looked at the father and son of the Wang family, Since that's the case, the Wang family will be handed over to you, Ouyang Mu, come and help King Qi.

Thank you auntie. Xiao Ming squinted at Wang Chengchou and Wang Shijie.

Wang Shijie's words just now betrayed the thoughts in the hearts of the father and son of the Wang family.
