Spare my life! The princess can make the villains read each other's minds

Eunuch Zhu hurried forward, took the memorial and presented it to Emperor Ming of Jin.

When Emperor Ming of Jin opened it, his eyes gradually widened.

His face became increasingly ugly.

Eunuch Zhu beside him asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"Be bold!"

Without any warning, Emperor Ming of Jin shouted loudly and threw the memorial to the ground, shocking Eunuch Zhu and several young eunuchs in the imperial study, who all fell to their knees at the same time.

"Look, what did this bastard say?"

The memorial was not far from Eunuch Zhu. Eunuch Zhu quickly crawled over, picked it up and took a look at it. His eyes widened at the same time.

The memorial was submitted by Yao Dongfang, the chief of the Dali Temple. It mentioned the massacres that had occurred in five villages around the capital in recent years, including Yizi Village. Based on the current clues, the person pointed to was His Royal Highness the Prince of Dai, Xiao Chong.

Emperor Ming of Jin was required to put the country first, abide by the laws of the court, set an example for the people of the world, and choose a date to hold a trial presided over by Emperor Ming of Jin and witnessed by the people of the capital.

If King Dai Xiao Zhong was wrongly accused, then he should be cleared of all charges. If Xiao Zhong did indeed do such a thing, then he should be held legally responsible and be punished accordingly to silence the world's gossips and give the people an explanation!

Emperor Ming of Jin gnashed his teeth and said, "This little Dali Temple official is so bold that he dared to frame my son!"

"Killing innocent people is a heinous crime that is beyond human control. How could my son do such a thing?"

"This is throwing dirt on the royal family. It is a serious provocation to the royal family's prestige, damaging the royal family's image, disrespecting the royal family, and shaking the royal family's foundation. The entire clan should be executed!"

"Pass on my order to immediately remove the official hat of the Dali Temple Chief and put him in jail. Round up all of his family members, young and old, male and female, and wait for my decision!"

Yao Dongfang, a small seventh-rank official, was investigating a case that led to his own son, a major case that angered both God and man.

He was not absolutely sure that Xiao Zhong would not do such a thing. After all, in his eyes, the common people were no different from ants, and how many died was not the most important thing.

The important thing is that Yao Dongfang should not have submitted this memorial, but should have taken the initiative to quietly erase this evidence or clue to avoid affecting the image and prestige of the royal family.

But Yao Dongfang even wrote a letter to request a public trial of the case. Wouldn't this let the whole world know that his son might have done something so outrageous that would enrage God and man?

Even if it is found out in the end of the trial that his son was wrongly accused, there will still be many people who have wild speculations. Some people with guilty consciences will even seize this opportunity to spread rumors, claiming that the royal family deliberately covered up the facts in order to preserve their image.

As long as the truth comes out, no matter what is done, it will become a stain on the royal family.

This Yao Dongfang is not a loyal minister at all, but a villain with evil intentions who tries to improve his own reputation by destroying the image of the royal family.

He wants to play the role of an upright official and go down in history!

Have his spring and autumn dream!

Eunuch Zhu hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"

Emperor Jin Ming looked at Eunuch Zhu coldly, "What's wrong?"

Eunuch Zhu reported, "Your Majesty, if you want to arrest him and his family and exterminate them, there must be a crime. It can't be the crime that he wrongly accused His Royal Highness the Prince of Dai. That would still make people think too much."

"Why don't we suppress this matter first? I will send someone to investigate in the name of Your Majesty. What is going on?"

"First, stabilize Yao Dongfang and make him hand over all the evidence. Then, confirm who else knows about this matter and then kill them without anyone noticing."

“This way, we can do it cleanly without any worries!”

Eunuch Zhu was certainly not considering Emperor Ming of Jin, but wanted to buy more time to let Queen Li know about this matter.

Xiao Chong is one of Xiao Jun's opponents. This is an opportunity to knock down his opponent. He has to wait for Queen Li's instructions before taking the next step.

When Emperor Ming of Jin heard what Eunuch Zhu said, he agreed with it deeply.

He was really furious, and he only wanted to wipe out the entire family of the Dali Temple Chief who was ignorant of his own danger. If the Dali Temple Chief had any backup plan and made other preparations, he would spread the news.

And he wiped out the entire family of Yao Dongfang. If things went wrong, he would become a tyrant in history.

So he immediately agreed, "You are still a loyal servant to me. The Dali Temple is doing this. There must be someone behind the scenes trying to use this to attack the foundation of the royal family. Their intentions are really malicious."

"We must investigate thoroughly and uproot these people. It would be best if we get rid of them quietly!"

Eunuch Zhu responded, "As you wish!"

He withdrew and first sent someone to inform Queen Li, then took his people to find Yao Dongfang, mainly to comfort him and to find out the whole story and the people involved in the matter.

Emperor Ming of Jin was still so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring. Had he been too kind over the years, causing some people to start taking advantage of him?

It seems that he wants to use a bloody incident to deter those villains who are ready to make trouble!

A little Yao Dongfang dares to challenge the authority of the royal family. He will die without knowing how he died.

He originally wanted to go to Concubine Shi in the harem. During this period of time, he was at Queen Li's place in Fengyi Palace. Queen Li might have become too proud of him and thought she could bewitch him completely.

He wanted to use practical actions to tell Queen Li that he was not a wise ruler who could be misled by beauty. He also wanted to make Queen Li realize that if she wanted to keep his favor for a long time, she would have to work harder and think of more ways to please him.

He was also thinking about how surprised Princess Shi would be to see him, and she would definitely do everything she could to make him happy.

He is very good at controlling women.

However, at this moment, I am in no mood at all!

He had a premonition that Yao Dongfang's letter to frame his own son was not that simple.

Where does a seventh-rank Dali Temple official get the courage?

I'm afraid there is some dark hand behind this, who has started to attack the royal family and attempt to usurp the throne!

The more he thought about it, the angrier and more anxious Emperor Ming of Jin became.

Maybe there is a huge conspiracy here!

He wanted to calm down and read the memorial, but he couldn't continue reading it no matter what.

Probably less than an hour later, Eunuch Zhu walked in quickly with an unsightly look on his face.

Emperor Jin Ming did not wait for Eunuch Zhu to speak, and asked anxiously, "How is it?"

After Eunuch Zhu finished his greeting, he reported, "Your Majesty, I didn't get to see Yao Dongfang!"

Emperor Ming of Jin immediately frowned.

"He ran away?"

"no!"

Eunuch Zhu took a deep breath before speaking, "He didn't run away, his whole family is here!"

Emperor Ming of Jin's face turned gloomy.

"You went there on my behalf, but you couldn't see him?"

"Are all the people you bring eating for free?"

"The Holy Order cannot be disobeyed, don't you understand?"

Eunuch Zhu knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Yao Dongfang's home was surrounded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's men, who claimed that no one could contact Yao Dongfang without His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's permission!"

Prince?

Emperor Ming of Jin was stunned.
