"Go back to Your Majesty, it's just outside the palace."

Zhao Qi focused his eyes, and immediately said: "Bring it up."

Following his words, the guards walked in with a man and a woman.

This pair of men and women had gloomy eyes and dejected faces.

And seeing that man, many people gave a little gasp, their eyes full of astonishment.

Seeing these two people, Liu Sheng's eyes were full of cold light, and he sneered at Jia Jue:

"What are the identities of these two people? They shouldn't be the scapegoats you found, right?"

Jia Jue didn't speak, but the woman suddenly turned her head to look at Liu Sheng after hearing the words, and said angrily:

"Yagyu! You lost dog! His Highness the Third Prince will not let you go!"

Oh?

All the courtiers were surprised when they heard the words, they didn't expect this woman to know Liu Sheng, and the third prince was also involved, which is quite interesting.

Liu Sheng was also taken aback, and he asked coldly, "Who are you?"

The woman was about to speak, when she suddenly saw Mingji beside him, her eyes widened:

"Mingji! You actually came to the capital!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not quite understanding why this woman was so excited.

Jia Jue smiled, and said lightly, "Mingji? I remember that the second prince of Fusang Kingdom was also called by this name."

This sentence made everyone realize it, and looked at Mingji with meaningful eyes.

He is obviously the second prince, but he came to the capital quietly by hiding behind the scenes. It seems that he has a big plan.

Mingji's face darkened immediately. He originally wanted to make a wonderful appearance, resolve the conflict between Liu Sheng and the Han people with a gentle and elegant attitude, so as to elevate himself, improve his image in the hearts of the Han people, and prepare for the smooth marriage of the princess.

But this woman's voice completely destroyed his plan, and he had to appear in such an embarrassing way.

"Sure enough, you are a scheming rat! I regret it so much, why didn't I burn you to death that day!" the woman shouted.

Everyone looked at her after hearing the words, and they heard a key message in her words: she set the fire.

"Bold, who are you?" Zhao Qi shouted.

The woman glanced at him, and said honestly: "I am a subordinate of the third prince of Fusang Kingdom, and I am in charge of going to Beijing to collect information for Fusang. A few days ago, I received an order from His Highness the third prince to intercept and kill Tang Zexiong and destroy the marriage. So, I set fire to Honglu Temple that night. I thought it was perfect, but I was caught by Mr. Jia."

She was naturally Xiaolian. Jia Jue wanted to hand her over to Jin Yiwei, but things changed, so he changed his plan.

Xiaolian's words made all the courtiers overjoyed, and the murderer appeared!

"Nonsense! Tang Zexiong clearly died from a knife wound!" Liu Sheng suddenly shouted.

Everyone was stunned. Ji Zhong reported the case before, and indeed, he died of a knife wound.

At this time, the man said: "That's right, he died of a knife wound, and I sealed his throat with a knife."

"Who are you?" Liu Sheng asked.

"I am from the Lu State Mansion, Wei Han." The man replied.

Yes, he is Wei Han.

The night before yesterday, he thought he could kill Jia Jue with a single blow. Suddenly, two extremely powerful women appeared. They seemed to be unaffected by the drugs, and they were so fierce that they captured him alive with just a few moves. .

He never thought that what seemed to be a surefire thing would fail!

"Lu Guo Mansion?" Liu Sheng sneered, and looked at Zhao Qi, "You are really brave. You are a dignified Han prince's family, and you dare to murder my Fusang envoy! Please give Fusang an explanation from His Majesty the Emperor!"

All the courtiers pondered, and Zhao Qi frowned.

Indeed, this is an extremely critical matter. It is the fault of the Han people that they killed the Fusang envoy.

Zhao Qi felt a little regretful, it would be great if Jia Jue could explain to him in advance, why is he so passive at this time.

When the arena was silent, Jia Jue suddenly patted his fan: "Wei Han, why did you assassinate Tang Zexiong?"

When Wei Han heard the sound of flapping the fan, his expression was shocked suddenly, and his eyes became cloudy. He said a little stiffly:

"I agree with Xiu Niang, and I am already the third prince's person. A few days ago, the third prince wrote a letter to me, asking me to kill Tang Zexiong."

what?

Everyone was stunned, Wei Han was from Fusang Kingdom!

"Who is Xiu Niang?" Zhao Qi shouted.

Xiao Lian replied: "My immediate boss."

Everyone came to their senses when they heard the words, it must be the embroidered lady who seduced Wei Han and made him secretly seek refuge with the third prince Fusang.

Therefore, from beginning to end, this assassination was the result of the struggle between the second and third princes of Fusang Kingdom.

The faces of Liu Sheng and Mingji were as dark as the bottom of a pot in an instant, and the situation suddenly became unfavorable for them. They who had taken advantage of it turned out to be the one who was wronged.

"Nonsense! You said he belonged to the Third Prince, so is he? Where is the evidence?" Liu Sheng shouted, determined not to admit it.

Everyone frowned and looked at him. He wanted to play tricks, but there was nothing he could do.

But Jia Jue smiled: "It just so happens that I found some letters from Wei Han's residence, and asked the second prince to read them."

As he spoke, he took out a few letters from his pocket and handed them to Mingji.

Mingji took the letter, and a trace of trepidation flashed in his eyes: Even if the letter is true, he will firmly insist that it is false.

However, when he opened the letter, his eyes widened and his face was full of bewilderment.

I saw that the letter was actually written in Fusang script, and the handwriting was Ming An's. How could he fail to recognize his handwriting after fighting Ming An for so many years?

What made him feel outrageous the most was that every letter had Ming An's signature on it.

There is a unique imprint in this signature, and it is impossible for outsiders to imitate it.

"This... this!" He opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.

He wanted to deny it, but he didn't know what excuse to use.

Liu Sheng, who was at the side, looked at the letters, also with a look of astonishment, unable to speak at all.

"Irrefutable evidence" cannot allow them to deny it.

Their deliberate planning has been dismantled by Jia Jue, and their huge advantage turned into a disadvantage at this time!

What's even more depressing is that these things were clearly done by their deadly rival, the third prince, yet they had to take the blame for him.

Because they are all Fusang people!

At this time, they deeply understood what it means to lose their wife and lose their soldiers.

Zhao Qi glanced at the two of them, then at Jia Jue, and laughed.

But after laughing, his eyes became cold again:

"Come here! Put Fusang Xizuo in prison and make representations to the Fusang Kingdom! Wei Han is a man of ours, but he has connections with foreign countries. This crime is unforgivable. He will be executed! Confiscate the Wei family's home and seize the title, and exile him to the nine borders!"

The guards immediately took the two away after hearing the words.

Seeing Wei Han being escorted away, many people sighed, the once famous Wei family just disappeared.

But at this time, Jia Jue suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

"But it doesn't matter." Zhao Qi looked at Jia Jue with admiration.

Not only did Jia Jue find out what happened, but he also blamed Fusang himself for the reason, and blocked their mouths.

It can be said to be extremely wonderful and won his heart.

"Your Majesty, this incident was caused by internal strife in Fusang. As a result, most of the Honglu Temple was burned down. The imperial court dispatched a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to investigate the case, and the people's livelihood in the capital was seriously disrupted. This series of incidents caused great losses to the imperial court. I think you should ask Fusang Kingdom to pay Wenyin 500 million taels." Jia Jue said loudly.

Mingji and Liusheng nearly vomited blood when they heard the words:

This bastard not only blamed them all the faults, but even extorted a large sum of money from them.

It is simply unreasonable!How unreasonable!

Chapter 245

"Master Jia's words are very true! My minister seconded the proposal!"

"That's right, most of the Honglu Temple was burned down, and the loss was heavy. If it needs to be rebuilt, it will cost countless manpower and financial resources, and the Fusang Kingdom should pay for it!"

"Your Majesty, the closure of the city for the past few days has greatly disturbed the people, and the people have suffered a lot. What Master Jia said is true!"

"Wei Chen agrees!"

……

After hearing Jia Jue's words, many ministers stood up and expressed their approval.

They were extremely aggrieved by Liu Sheng's arrogance just now, and now they finally had a chance to fight back, how could they miss it?

Seeing this scene, Liu Sheng and Ming Ji's complexions became even darker than the bottom of a pot.

But what can they say?

It was all because of them!

Zhao Qi glanced at the two of them, and there was a flash of joy in his eyes. He coughed lightly and asked:

"Two messengers, how should we deal with this matter?"

Liu Sheng frowned and was about to reprimand him angrily, but at this moment Ming Ji stopped him suddenly:

"Your Majesty, this matter is caused by me. I am willing to compensate your country for the loss. I will pay 500 million taels of silver."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, but they never thought that Ming Ji would recognize him so easily.

Liu Sheng was also taken aback, but soon he realized that Ming Ji chose to show his favor to the Han people for the sake of marriage.

Without the help of the Han people, let alone 500 million taels, they may not even be able to save their lives in the end.

Zhao Qi took a deep look at Ming Ji: "Okay, since the second prince has no objection, then this matter is settled like this."

Upon seeing this, Liu Sheng quickly said, "Your Majesty, since the case has been settled, let's talk about the second matter."
