Come on, Your Highness

Under Xiao Hong's order, the guards of the palace directly drew out the knife in their hands and walked towards Lin Yuzhi who was lying on the ground moaning.

"No, no, no, don't..." Mrs. Lin didn't care about crying for her son, her legs were no longer weak now, she threw herself on Lin Yuzhi, hugged him tightly, and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, please forgive me. Yuzhi was unintentional, he was mad... Big Brother, Big Brother, help me..."

She quickly looked at Wei Guogong, begging bitterly, "Brother... Please please... Yuzhi is ignorant, he is irrational, he didn't mean it, it's my younger sister's lax discipline... Big brother..."

Mrs. Lin was trembling all over, and almost shed all her tears in the past two days.

The scene happened so fast just now, Wei Guogong still feels that it is not real.

However, Mrs. Lin's begging, the guard's long sword of Yingwang's mansion had already arrived in front of him, so he had to walk over with a complicated face.

Xiao Hong looked at him coldly, the anger in his eyes was raging like a storm, and he said coldly and sharply: "If Duke Wei is not blind, just stay by the side and don't talk! Today, whoever begs for mercy will be slaughtered together with him!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the elders of the He family who wanted to say something were silenced.

Mrs. Lin showed despair, and could only grasp at the only straw: "Brother, brother, little sister has no son, only such a grandson... You can't watch him die, brother! Please... "

Duke Wei finally cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness..."

"Assassination of an official ordered by the imperial court, what should be the crime? Duke Wei doesn't need to be taught by this king, or is it that your He family has never taken Wang Fa seriously?" Xiao Hong's fists creaked loudly, "Pull this old woman away for me, If she doesn't leave, I will send the grandparents and grandchildren away together!"

"Your Highness!" Wei Guogong quickly took a step forward and stood in front of the guards, "Please calm down, Your Highness, and let the old minister speak."

"Go away—"

"Hiss..." He Xichao's low moan suddenly came from behind him, Xiao Hong was startled, and turned around quickly, "Xichao..."

"Ah, Master Xichao is injured!" Little Xuanzi looked at He Xichao's hand holding his arm, with Yin Hong's blood oozing from between his fingers.

"Hurry up and ask for a doctor!" Xiao Hong panicked, and hurriedly asked: "Xi Chao, how are you? Is it in pain? Is the wound deep? Ah—that damned bastard, I'll kill him! Xi Chao Chao, can I have a look, if it needs to be bandaged first..."

The hostility all over Xiao Hong disappeared in an instant, leaving only concern and worry on his face, he was at a loss, and his words were incoherent.

He Xichao shook his head: "It's okay, don't be nervous."

"How can I not be nervous? Damn, I promised not to let you get hurt again, I broke my promise again! It's all my fault, why did I come so late..."

He Xichao looked at him with a look of self-reproach, couldn't help but bent his lips, and said in a low voice, "It's not too early or too late for you to come, earlier I won't be able to leave the He family, later I'm afraid I'm going to lose my life. Xiao Hong, we really have a good understanding, I'm so happy."

Xiao Hong expressed that he was not happy at all, the bright blood stained He Xichao's fair hands almost hurt his eyes.

"Doctor, hurry up and send someone to urge you! First ask someone to stop the bleeding, and then bring me the imperial doctor!" Xiao Hong hurriedly turned around, groping up and down, seeing Xiaodunzi took out the handkerchief, snatched it over, He gestured to He Xichao's arm, "Shall I wrap it for you first?"

After all, Lin Yuzhi is just a playboy, although he looks ruthless, his strength is limited.Coupled with the thick clothes worn this season, it only scratched the flesh. Although He Xichao was in pain, he felt that he didn't hurt his bones.

"Grandpa, the medicine box is here, let's stop the bleeding for Young Master Xi Chao first!"

He Xiang came over carrying a box with sharp eyes and quick hands. Naturally, this kind of people always have wound medicine in their homes.

And with him, there are also the female relatives.

Wei Guogong nodded, walked over with He Xiang and the medicine box, and said to Xiao Hong: "Your Highness, the doctor still needs some time, why not deal with it first?" Then he looked at He Xichao and asked, "No matter what, the wound is always important. "

He Xiang held up the golden sore medicine and bandages and handed them over respectfully.

Xiao Hong was about to take it, when Xiao Xuanzi said, "Your Highness, let the slaves come."

Xiao Hong probably also knew that he was clumsy, and he was afraid of hurting He Xichao, so he nodded, and he had to ask: "Be gentle."

A group of people surrounded them and couldn't see clearly until He Xichao was helped to the side, and the sight was exposed. The female relatives who hadn't entered the ancestral hall saw clearly that there was a person lying on the ground, a person kneeling, and two guards were facing them. The knife is out of its sheath.

"Mother..." Mrs. Lin was shocked to find the kneeling old woman, glanced at the immobile figure beside her, and looked at the familiar clothes, and immediately exclaimed: "Yu'er!"

"Brother?" Miss Lin was stunned for a moment, then followed her mother and ran over.

But Li Yuechan, who managed to squeeze in, didn't care about watching the excitement, and saw his injured son at a glance: "Xi Chao!"

Both of them ran in, seeing the mess, while the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What's going on here?" The eldest lady asked with a frown.

"Go and have a look." The Duke and Madam said.

He Mingrui was inside, and as soon as he saw his mother and grandmother coming in, he quickly explained the matter, but it was a pity at the end: "It's his life that he didn't stab him to death."

The two were stunned when they heard this, it was too ups and downs.

But hearing He Mingrui's last sentence, Mrs. Guo gave him a disapproving look, and pouted at Wei Guogong angrily.

"That can't be said anymore."

The second lady smiled and sighed: "He Xichao is simply too arrogant! Did he really think that the Duke would not do anything to him? The King of England has become a prince and he doesn't even know his own name. He deserves it!"

However, she looked at the current scene, and was a little worried: "The King of England came at the right time. Now, if the Duke wants to keep Lin Yuzhi, he may have to ask He Xichao to speak. In this way, will it... "

He Mingrui's eyes darkened, he regretted saying that, but he also complained that Lin Yuzhi was too useless, even a scholar who had no strength to restrain a chicken could not be killed.

The wound was not deep, although the doctor didn't come, but the personal eunuch who came out of the palace would treat small wounds, and He Xichao's arm had stopped bleeding after a while.

Li Yuechan held her son's arm, her heart was about to break, her eyes came and fell one by one.

Xiao Hong also wanted to express his distress in this way, but he had to settle the score first.

Although it was a good thing for He Xichao to leave the He family, so many people really bullied him and made him cry... That's right, when Xiao Hong saw He Xichao's red eyes, the fire in his heart went up. Jump up!

This is his daughter-in-law who is afraid of falling in his hands and melting in his mouth, and who will feel sorry for her for a long time if she loses a hair!

"What's the matter, you haven't killed him until now?" Xiao Hong glared at the two guards.

"Your Highness, please forgive me!" The Lin family women knelt in front of Lin Yuzhi and kowtowed in unison.

"Didn't you hear His Highness's words? Pull them away." Xiao Dunzi shouted.

Lin Yuzhi was guilty, so if he killed him, he would be killed, but if he was together with women and children, it would be said that the crown prince would kill people and kill women and children before he was canonized.

Several guards came forward to pull people together when they heard the words.

"Big brother! Big brother! Help, save Yuzhi... woo..." Mrs. Lin's hair was disheveled, her eyes were blurred, her face was old, and she stretched out one hand towards Wei Guogong. , as if wanting to grab this last straw.

"Several uncles, clan elders, I beg you, please say something, for the sake of the master's dedication to the He family—"

Mrs. Lin kowtowed and begged to the onlookers of the He family, and Miss Lin followed along. This scene was really unbearable to watch.

However, the elders of the He family and the heads of the collateral families, who valued human affection more than heaven, lowered their heads, or turned their faces away.

Third Master He seemed to have the intention to say a few words, but shook his head with a sigh, with a look of regret and powerlessness.

He Xichao looked at this scene not at all surprised, his eyes fell on Wei Guogong.

Xiao Hong sneered and said, "Don't you want to see me? You forced Xi Chao to see you, why, now that I'm here, all of you have turned into gourds and stopped talking?"

"His Royal Highness!" Wei Guogong knelt down, "Yuzhi's mistake is irrefutable, but because he is the nephew of the old minister, I beg you to spare his life, the old minister... I am very grateful!"

Xiao Hong said flatly: "It's not my king who he wants to assassinate."

Wei Guogong finally had to look at He Xichao, who was also looking at him.

Wei Guogong, who always pays attention to face, has no face at all today, and the invisible slap just slapped him on the face.

"Brother, brother, please, ah..."

Behind him was Mrs. Lin's hoarse begging.

Duke Wei took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said, "Xi Chao..."

"Report to the official." Without waiting for him to speak, He Xichao said, "I almost died, so I don't want to let him go lightly for your sake, and I don't want His Highness to bear the reputation of using lynching, so right and wrong judge, let the law judge."

When He Xichao said this, Xiao Hong frowned, but he didn't object, he just ordered: "Come here, go to Jingzhao Mansion."

A guard went immediately.

"Grandfather...Wei Guogong, get up, it's not your fault, why do you have to hug him?" He Xichao looked up at Lin Yuzhi who was on the ground, "Did His Highness kick you to death? Dare to use a knife to kill people, but Don't you dare to stand up and face it? Coward, you have the same vicious mind as your cousin, but when you encounter problems, you will only hide behind women."

The guard next to him heard this, and raised his foot to step on Lin Yuzhi's hand, and he cried out in pain.

He clutched his chest, afraid to say a word, and knelt obediently behind Mrs. Lin.

"Heh..." Xiao Hong didn't even bother to give one of his contemptuous eyes.

But He Mingrui's eyes were bloodshot with anger, and he stared at He Xichao.

The second lady stopped him: "Mingrui, don't go."

However, He Xichao didn't let him go so lightly. He looked straight at him with a pair of eyes, and said with a mocking arc on his lips, "As you wish, I have nothing to do with the He family. Things will not implicate me, let alone my family. From now on, be your filial son and grandson honestly, otherwise, you should be clear about the consequences of what you do, right? "

As soon as these words came out, He Mingrui's face immediately turned pale, he moved his lips but did not say a word.

In fact, according to He Xichao's plan, as soon as he left the Duke's Mansion, he would submit the evidence and send He Mingrui to hell.

However, he glanced at Wei Guogong, and finally his heart softened.

Jingzhao Mansion dared not delay the people sent by the King of England. The governor personally led the officials into the Duke's Mansion.

"Your Majesty has met His Royal Highness, Duke Wei."

Xiao Hong raised his chin to Lin Yuzhi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "The one who shrank behind the woman, assassinated the court official, and took him away."

"Ah?" Jingzhao Mansion Yin was startled, this is okay, he quickly looked around, "I don't know which adult is unfortunate..."

When Wei Guogong wanted to speak, Xiao Hong explained a little more reluctantly: "Attempted, hurting Xichao, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy." After thinking about it, he added, "This king saw him commit the murder with his own eyes. , I was the one who saved it in time, otherwise my Xichao would have died!"

A guard presented a dagger: "Your Highness."

"Yes, this is the murder weapon, and there are witnesses and evidence." Xiao Hong became angry when he saw it, "It's not too much to kill him, he..."

"My lord." He Xichao interrupted Xiao Hong's words, stepped forward, and cupped his hands at the governor, "Lin Yuzhi attacked me behind my back, and fortunately His Royal Highness rescued the official before he escaped. Just deal with it."

Jingzhao Mansion Yin looked at the assailant, and saw Lin Yuzhi's body trembling slightly, his head bowed, and his whole body was so frightened that he almost shrank together, and said: "It's only natural, His Highness King Ying and Lord He, don't worry, Your Majesty Naturally handle it impartially, come and take the suspect away!"

"Grandmother, mother!" Lin Yuzhi shouted with fear in his eyes when the official sent over to fetch him.

"Honor..."

"Brother..." Mrs. Lin grabbed Wei Guogong's clothes and pleaded.

However, Wei Guogong stopped talking.

He Xichao came in accordance with the country's laws and regulations, and stopped the King of England to deal with him on the spot. He was already looking at his face, so he couldn't make further progress.

Wei Guogong suddenly felt very tired. The position of Patriarch he was once proud of and the responsibilities he had assumed seemed to be crushing him at this moment.

He didn't want to look at the messy situation, so he said to He Xichao: "Since you have been expelled, you can leave, and the old man should be quiet."

"Xi Chao, let's go, you have to take a good look at your hands." Xiao Hong said, "I have already found a house for you, it is very close to the palace, and you can live in it right away."

However, He Xichao didn't hurry away, he looked at Wei Guogong and said: "Grandfather, Xichao will call you again before leaving, now I have something to say."

Wei Guogong frowned, but he didn't go back.

But Xiao Hong suddenly heard a surprised voice from behind: "Xi Chao!"

Duke Wei suddenly turned around, only to see He Xichao kneeling in front of him.

He Xichao raised his head, looked at him fixedly, and said, "Wei Guogong, I ask you to turn around and look at all the selfish faces around you! They are well-dressed and seem to be more decent than anyone else, but no matter how high-sounding they are Words can't cover up your dirty and ugly thoughts. They are like leeches attached to you. For their greed, you can abandon them regardless of etiquette, justice, shame, or national laws and regulations! Reckless, cowardly, despicable, shameless, turning black and white , dare to do anything, but dare not admit anything! It is no different from Lin Yuzhi! Why they are here today is not because of the righteousness of the family they keep shouting, but because they understand that I, He Xichao, are in power and cannot allow them to continue Eat away at the Duke's Mansion like moths!"

He Xichao glanced around, and those clan elders who dared not give a shit after Xiao Hong arrived showed a sneering sneer: "What is the real interest of the family? It is the reputation of loyalty and filial piety, and the upright and honest family style. It is the belief of defending the family and the country, and it is the reputation of all the clansmen from top to bottom. This is it! I have been in the He family for nine years, and I have never seen a decent person who is working hard and living a positive life! Eating lazy, spending too much , only a pair of snobbish eyes and a nose that smells of copper are left! Such a He family, you let me take up the burden and continue to raise this bunch of waste, why? Exchange that bit of title for a heavy burden, How much I disdain to tie my hands and feet!"

He Xichao raised his head, his eyes were reddened with sincerity, "What I said to you before is still valid, no matter what, these nine years of shelter from wind and rain have given me the opportunity to grow, I... thank you very sincerely!"

He bent down, kowtowed, then stood up, turned to Xiao Hong neatly and said, "Let's go, cousin." Then he walked towards Li Yuechan, "Mother, let's start life again."

Li Yuechan nodded, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his eyes.

At the door, An Yunxuan's people had packed up their belongings and were waiting.

All the people watched them leave, and probably only you can taste the taste of each.

But Wei Guogong was stunned in place, his eyes were red as he looked at the back of the person going away.
