There is no benefit in confronting the prince now, but it is still possible to suppress an unfavored and down-and-out prince.

"I heard that the young master of the Wei family and the third prince are very good private teachers. I don't know if it's because of their friendship with the prince that they dare to act so recklessly, or is it because they want to stand up for someone?"

Wen Shen's words were really sinister. On the surface, he was extracting Wen Xian, but the connotation was that it was Wen Xian who instigated Wang Weizhi to commit the murder.

How could the crazy Mrs. Li in the living room bear this stimulation? She glanced back and forth between Wen Xian and Wang Wei, as if she had listened to Wen Shen's words.

Wen Xian stood up and said: "Second Brother Huang's words are biased. My relationship with Lord Wei Xiaohou is indeed good, but it's not as what Brother Huang said."

Wen Shen snorted coldly, and was about to continue speaking, but at this moment, Mrs. Li, who was being held back, wailed.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to her, and she pointed at Wen Xian and said, "Yes, yes, they dare not do this, you must have ordered it, it must be you."

I don't know if it's a person who has lost his mind, and even has extra strength. Mrs. Li broke free from the restraints, rushed to Wen Xian, grabbed the jug on the table and kowtowed to him.

"Wen Xian! Be careful!", Wang Weizhi, who was closest to Mrs. Li, was the first to notice the change, and couldn't help shouting Wen Xian's name in surprise!

Although he sounded a reminder, it was still too late. It came down so fast and violently that no one expected it. Wen Xian staggered from being hit, the wine in the flagon was spilled on his face, and there was a curl on his forehead. Stains of blood flowed down.

Mrs. Li was very close to him, and Wang Weizhi's attention was focused on Wen Xian. I don't know if it was an illusion. When Mrs. Li rushed over, he seemed to see the corners of Wen Xian's slightly raised lips, and his thinned lips touched up and down slightly, as if He said something that only the two of them could hear, but the arc was too small, if Wang Weizhi hadn't been concentrating, he would hardly have noticed it.

Wen Shen didn't expect to have this effect, and swallowed the words back on his lips, looking at all this gloatingly.

There was silence in the hall, and no one dared to be the one who spoke first. Mrs. Li was pulled away quickly, and she didn't know what Wen Xian said to her at that moment. , he stood there without saying a word, holding his forehead.

I thought that no one dared to speak anymore at this moment, but Wen Shen said again: "What did Xiaohou Wei call the third prince just now? I heard it right, Wen Xian, right?"

After his reminder, everyone recalled it one after another, turned their heads to look at the two, and seemed to sense the intimacy between the two.

Wang Weizhi's face flushed, why did he yell out in a hurry just now, "The situation was urgent just now, so... Weizhi was rude."

Except for this sentence, he really couldn't find a reason to refute. His sound directly dragged Wen Xian into the water, and he couldn't help but look at him. The latter's expression was hidden in the darkness, and he couldn't see clearly. Can't help but feel extremely regretful.

The prince's involvement in this matter is already considered a major event, and everyone is waiting for Emperor Wen to express his opinion to see how he will treat the third prince who is the most suspected.

The person sitting on the top was silent for a few moments, stood up, gathered his robes, and the majestic voice resounded through the hall, "It's ridiculous! After a good celebration banquet, what made you mess up? I'm tired too, I think it's all gone today, what does General Shen think?"

Still drinking calmly, Zhong Wei raised his glass, "Your Majesty can make arrangements."

Emperor Wen was finally satisfied when he heard the words. Even if the third prince Wen Xian came from a humble background and was not favored, he was still a prince, not a son of a marquis family. Even if he wanted to be punished, the royal family should close the door The solution is definitely not to deal with it in front of all the aristocratic families in the capital.

Emperor Wen glanced at the ignorant Mrs. Li in the hall, gathered up her robe and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, the accident will be reborn!

Seeing that he was about to leave, Mrs. Li recovered from her stupefaction, and became even more mad. She struggled and shouted, "Your Majesty! Shouldn't the emperor commit the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law? Isn't there any punishment for killing people? Is it the way of heaven?" Unfair! The laws of the Wen Dynasty are still unfair!"

Even today's biggest official and the most powerful are unwilling to intervene. Mrs. Li really can't see a way out. With her eyes full of despair, she shouted and pushed away the guards beside her. He touched the pillar of the temple, and blood splashed on the spot in an instant.

The faces of all the families were pale with fright, and they couldn't help discussing.

Li Houye was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

And Emperor Wen's complexion also changed drastically, he really didn't expect this crazy woman to do such crazy things, the most taboo of the royal family is seeing blood in the palace.

Mrs. Li's bump directly fixed Emperor Wen's pace, and Emperor Wen sat back with a grim expression.

"Call the doctor to take a look."

Soon, the imperial doctor trotted in, squatted beside Mrs. Li, and looked around. The woman had a big hole in her forehead, and she was dead.

Mrs. Li declared her ambition by death in front of all the aristocratic families, and Emperor Wen had to re-examine this matter. Even if the royal family was involved, he would have to make a decision, otherwise no one in the capital would dare to sincerely serve her.

Looking at Wen Xian who was standing alone in the hall, fortunately he was just an unfavorable prince, but even if he was unfavorable, he couldn't lose the face of the royal family because of it, and looked at Wang Weizhi, who was kneeling below, Emperor Wen's expression improved a bit .

In fact, he already had a conclusion in his mind on this matter, and the Wei family was likely to take the blame for others in this situation, but the current situation could no longer allow Emperor Wen to procrastinate, so he had to push someone out to bear it.

"Since Mrs. Li has insisted that the Wei family did it, then the Wei family must have something to do with it."

Master Wei's complexion changed drastically when he heard that, he hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Please ask the emperor to investigate clearly, this matter is not the work of the Wei family."

But finally there was a scapegoat, how could Emperor Wen let it go, and just asked Wang Weizhi: "Where were you the night the only son of the Li family had an accident?"

"In my own home."

"Who was the servant who kept watch for you that night?" It is the rule of the Wen Dynasty that the master rests at night and the servant keeps watch in front of the bed.

Hearing this, Madam Wei and Wang Weizhi's hearts sank, he was indeed at home that night, but in order to be alone with Wen Xian, since the last time he fell ill, he sent Ah Qing out of the bedroom.

Wang Weizhi truthfully said: "It was Ah Qing who guarded the night for me, but in the Wei residence, Ah Qing did not guard in front of the bed, but outside the bedroom!"

Marquis Wei was left in the palace earlier, how did he know this, now that Wang Weizhi said that, he knew that Mrs. Wei was used to it, so he couldn't help but give Mrs. Wei a look.

Emperor Wen's expression improved a lot when he heard the words, and he said again: "Is there anyone else to testify for you?"

Wang Weizhi couldn't help but sneak a glance at Wen Xian. He remembered that night, they were making a fuss on that bed.

"No."

Emperor Wen tapped his finger on the back of the chair, and Wang Weizhi's small movements did not escape his eyes. As an emperor, Wang Weizhi's small thoughts had already been skinned and torn in front of him when he called Wen Xian's name, look It's clear.

He was also sure in his heart, and asked again: "Did you send someone to murder the only son of the Li family? You should think about it carefully. This matter involves my emperor's son. Besides, Mrs. Li died to show her will. This matter must be revealed to everyone." Let the aristocratic family tell you that if you confess, I will spare you the death penalty, but if you persist in your obsession, then the emperor should share the same crime with the common people, so that he can show the demeanor of a great country."

Hearing this, Wang Weizhi suddenly raised his head and looked over. Emperor Wen was looking at him calmly.

What Emperor Wen said was knocking and beating, and his meaning was nothing more than telling Wang Weizhi that today he must give an explanation to all the aristocratic families. You will bear this blame, and you will bear it if you don’t. If you take the initiative, he will You can save your life in order to save the face of the royal family. If you refuse, you will end up being charged with crimes and be executed. The sentence that the emperor should be guilty of the same crime as the common people is to use Wen Xian as a naked threat .

Wang Weizhi didn't dare to gamble, if it was the other princes today, Emperor Wen might have to consider one or two things, but if it was the third prince Wen Xian who was the most unpopular, Emperor Wen would probably abandon him.

He didn't dare to gamble, and he couldn't afford to gamble. Since he had to take the blame no matter what, why did he drag Wen Xian into the water.

Emperor Wen seemed to be very patient, sitting on a high seat and waiting quietly.

Wang Weizhi looked at Wen Xian who was standing on one side in a state of embarrassment, and the latter stood quietly on one side, and replied in silence for a while, "It was me, I sent someone to kill the only son of the Li family!"

A word is like clear water dripping into a frying pan, causing a huge wave in an instant. Wei Hou Ye has been an official for many years, and he has already heard one or two of what Emperor Wen said just now. From Mrs. Wei who can't come out, how can I understand the deep meaning?

She looked at Wang Weizhi in disbelief, her face was as white as paper, she almost knelt and crawled over trembling, and grabbed Wang Weizhi's shoulder, "Zhizi, do you know what you are talking about?"

Wang Weizhi grabbed Mrs. Wei's hand and smiled bitterly. Although he came from a wealthy background in Qingshan Town, he was still a little timid when he first came to the capital. At that time, Mrs. Wei gave him the courage to persevere.

He said, "Mother, my son understands."

Mrs. Wei was in a hurry, "What do you understand, do you know the consequences of this matter, hurry up, tell the emperor clearly, say it's not you, hurry up!"

Mrs. Wei's voice was already crying, but Wang Weizhi just lowered his head and remained silent. He didn't know what expression to face her with.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Mrs. Wei turned to the silent Lord Wei, "Your son's temper doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, how could he do such a thing, Lord Hou, please persuade him, you Hurry up and persuade him!"

But Marquis Wei just knelt in the main hall. How could he, a little marquis, be shaken up by the decision of the emperor? Besides, if he recognized what he said just now, there was still a chance of survival. In the future, Emperor Wen might also see it in this time. For the sake of love, give more preferential treatment to the Wei family, if he refuses to admit it, it will affect the face of the royal family, then he can't help it.

Mrs. Wei was not moved when she saw Lord Wei Hou, she cried and knelt in front of the palace to ask Emperor Wen for mercy, but how hard is the emperor's heart?How could he be shaken by a little woman.

After the matter was settled, Emperor Wen stood up satisfied, and gathered his robe together, "The reason for this matter can be explained clearly, then I will give an explanation to the Li family."

As he spoke, he stabbed Li Houye down sharply, and continued: "It's just that you are not joking, I have just promised that if he confesses voluntarily, he will be spared the death penalty, and someone who comes first will press him down, ask the details and deal with it .”
