After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!

Chapter 93 The mystery of Mei Xiao’s death

Although Mei Xichen and Shen Tingyu, who were drunk yesterday, seemed a little disappointed because they missed each other's lovers too much, they soon regained their composure and were ready to face new challenges.

Since King Kang's case involved many things, the emperor ordered that it be tried jointly by the three judicial departments, that is, the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple. Of course Shen Tingyu is the chief judge.

In this trial, not only did King Kang confess to the assassination of King Liang and the defenders, but he also admitted several facts about embezzling military pay and helping Jin Ba to clear his name. He also confessed to Mei Xiao, Mei Xichen's father. the real cause of death.

Although Mei Xichen was fully prepared, he believed that it would take a lot of trouble to get King Kang to reveal the truth about what happened back then. However, what he did not expect was that King Kang not only did not hide the truth but also revealed the truth. The detailed process was explained clearly.

This made Mei Xichen and Shen Tingyu feel vaguely panicked. what is the reason behind the scene? Why didn't King Kang resist stubbornly? But in any case, Mei Xichen finally knew the real cause of his father's death after this case.

In fact, ten years ago, Mei Xiao and King Kang went to the Yagong border to deal with border disputes. This matter was a trap set by King Kang from the beginning. Yagong and Kyoto were not originally hostile to each other, but because the actual military power in the border area was in the hands of Mei Xiao at that time, King Kang was eyeing it.

So he secretly asked people from the Jianghu to pretend to be Kyoto's army and conduct a sneak attack on the camp where Yagong was stationed. As a result, a fight broke out between the two sides.

Later, in the final battle, King Kang invited Yagong's national adviser to poison the meals of Mei Xiao and Mei Xichen's brother. On the surface, he died during a fierce fight between the two parties, but in fact he died from poison. However, King Kang was present at the time, and no one dared not listen to what he said, so the matter was quietly concealed.

When the imperial master attacked Mei Xichen, just in time after Shangguan Yunzhi pretended to be a doctor to treat Mei Xichen and saved his life for ten years, the Yagong imperial master wanted to kill Mei Xichen at once. At that time, King Kang was afraid that doing too much and making too many mistakes would lead to criticism, so he did not agree with the national teacher's approach. At that time, King Kang thought that since he had been infected with insect poison and could only live for ten years at most, it would be okay and he would not kill him.

In the end, he pretended that Mei Xichen's father and brother died on the battlefield, so he should be made a prince, and the Jingyang Palace was given to Mei Xichen.

All these wishful thinking were very good. They eliminated dissidents, gained military power, and gained a good reputation. As for this sick boy who was more than ten years old, King Kang didn't take it seriously at all.

Unexpectedly, the plan could never keep up with the changes. Shangguanqing appeared halfway and not only cured Mei Xichen's illness, but also repeatedly destroyed King Kang's plans and deployments. Therefore, King Kang always wanted to get rid of Shangguanqing. What happened next was that everyone saw that the poison failed to harm her, and another plan was devised to force her away.

After hearing King Kang's statement, Mei Xichen hated King Kang so much that she gritted her teeth. Even Shen Tingyu who was standing by was shocked. After all, he was the one who sent Tusu to assassinate Rongruo, so he had to settle this account with King Kang one by one.

The case was tried very quickly. Except for Huo Yan's hemming and hawing, other matters were handled effortlessly. In this way, after a joint trial, the case was reported to the emperor, and King Kang and others were executed.

When Mei Xichen read out the emperor's imperial edict, King Kang still sat in the prison with a look of disdain, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. The calm look on her face made Mei Xichen feel vaguely uneasy, but she couldn't tell how uneasy she was.

After reading the imperial edict, Mei Xichen walked out of the prison, and Shen Tingyu hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Majesty, how did Prince Kang react?" Shen Tingyu stepped forward and asked,

Mei Xichen shook his head and seemed a little frustrated.

"It doesn't matter. He is already dying anyway, so don't worry about him." Shen Tingyu stepped forward to comfort him.

When Mei Xichen saw Shen Tingyu smiling at her, she no longer frowned, hugged his shoulders and walked out of the Prison Department Prison.

Why is King Kang so calm? In fact, he had long known that the development of things would inevitably lead to this result, so when he found Tusu that day, the two of them agreed to come up with a plan to steal the situation.

So according to what was agreed upon, Tusu transformed a mouse into King Kang's appearance, put it in the prison, and took the real King Kang out.

Facts have also proved that this strategy really worked. On the day of beheading, when the body was verified, the mortal inquisitors could not detect the problem at all. Even the two beheading officers, Mei Xichen and Shen Tingyu, could not detect the problem. Didn't see any problem.

So just when Mei Xichen and Shen Tingyu thought they had eliminated this major worry, King Kang had already escaped with Tusu's rescue. The direction of his escape was exactly Wu'an County, because there was their bigger plan waiting to be implemented.

King Kang and Tusu sat in the speeding carriage, and they drank tea to celebrate the success of their escape plan.

"Master, I'm really lucky to have you this time, otherwise I would have fallen into the hands of a little brat like Mei Xichen." King Kang greeted me with a smile and couldn't help praising me.

"Kang Kang is so polite. What does this mean? If you find a scapegoat this time, no one will know your existence. We will have more initiative in future actions, right?" Tusu's sinister face showed a proud look.

"Master, where are we going next?" King Kang asked doubtfully.

"We are going to Wu'an County." Tusu said with a smile.

"Wuan County, that's not our territory?" King Kang said nervously.

"It will be soon. Don't worry, Your Majesty. Everything has been arranged. It won't be long before you can enjoy endless glory and wealth there." Tusu said with a proud look on his face.

"Oh, yes, then I would like to thank the Master in advance." King Kang laughed loudly as he said this.

Mei Xichen invited Shen Tingyu to drink in another courtyard. After solving this serious problem, the two of them were not as happy as they thought before.

"Your Majesty, are you still not drunk today?" Shen Tingyu looked at Mei Xichen and asked.

"Yes, isn't it good? I've asked the maid to prepare the room for you."

"Okay, if that's the case, then I will accompany the prince until he gets drunk." Shen Tingyu picked up the wine glass placed in front of the table and drank it all in one gulp.

It was still the same as that night, the two people toasted each other but didn't exchange too many words. Maybe the men didn't have that much to talk about, and everything was in the wine.

They drank until early in the morning, and both of them were lying on the table. Seeing this, Butler Mei quickly called the servants to carry the two of them back to the room.

Housekeeper Mei felt unspeakably distressed when facing the increasingly decadent young prince. Ever since the old lady left and the princess left him, the young prince seemed to have become a different person.

Butler Mei tried to dissuade her many times but didn't know how to speak.
