Chapter 662
The sixth prince's cheeks were swollen and symmetrical, and it hurt so much that he was afraid of being slapped by Xiao Xu again, so he simply gave up and shouted at the top of his throat:
"Chu Junlan did not kill Princess Cai. Princess Cai was conspired with my grandfather! We bribed the girl around Princess Cai and gave her a crazy poison. Also, Princess Cai's biological father, Master Qi, also knows about this matter!"
When the old patriarch Cai heard this, his eyes turned dark and his head buzzed. How can the Cai family gain a foothold in the future if this scandal is revealed?
The Sixth Prince also knew that these things were inappropriate, but Xiao Xu was holding the sword too terrible and it hurt too much to be slapped in the face, so he could only lower his head with a miserable face.
The voice of the Sixth Prince spread out in the huge Jingxu Mountain Square, making everyone hear it clearly.
The crowd was poured into the hot oil pan like cold water, and the discussion started with a "wow". The people who had previously discussed Xiao Xu's extremeness have now turned the trend.
"Isn't the sixth prince's grandfather the fifth master of the Cai family?"
"There is such a thing? Then Princess Cai died so frustrated. Her biological father and uncle plotted to poison her, and the trusted maid around her would poison her."
"Just to frame a woman, this is simply crazy!"
"I didn't expect that the Sixth Prince was such a person."
...
Xiao Xu listened to the people's discussions with satisfaction, walked to the Sixth Prince with a bloody sword, as if he could give him another one at any time.
"Also, keep talking."
He looked up at Xiao Xu's eyes, and then looked at the cold blade, and the sixth prince was frightened and looked no longer in fear.
"I said, I said, I'm going to do it, I've done it too. Chu Junlan broke my mistake and I killed Cai and blamed her. Moreover, I also bribed the servants of Prince Gong's mansion and hid a dragon robe in Prince Gong's bedroom."
As if he wanted to break himself apart, the sixth prince hurriedly said, "But this was my grandfather's idea for me!"
The civil and military ministers in the audience could no longer hold back and let out a sigh. Some officials who had spoken for the Sixth Prince blushed under the strange eyes of their colleagues.
Thinking that all the suffering Chu Junlan suffered was caused by the Sixth Prince, Xiao Xu's eyes became even more murderous intent, and the cold sword was pressed horizontally against his neck. With a little force, he could cut the sixth prince's throat.
The sixth prince was so scared that he hid back, and his cold sweat flowed into his neck: "What are you doing! I said everything you asked me to say! Father, Father, save my life! Father save me!"
Emperor Jing Hong's face turned pale. Looking at the two people on the platform, he felt like someone had hollowed out a piece of it.
His sons were killing each other, one was really wronged, and the other was so unsuccessful, but he had to work hard to protect the royal face. Between these two people, if one protects one, the other cannot be protected. How can they achieve both?
Xiao Xu's approach was so radical that he did not leave any way out. Not only did he make things worse and make it known to the people, but he also directly exposed the royal scandal and exposed it completely in front of the people and the court officials. He had no room for negotiation and turn around.
Emperor Jing Hong closed his eyes with a blaming self. It was his attitude towards things that completely disappointed Xiao Xu's heart, which made him so desperately.
He just wanted to use decisive means to let Chu Junlan's innocence tell the world, wash away the grievances of her killing her mother-in-law, and let those who want to use her death to get nothing, and Xiao Xu didn't even care about his life or death.
Emperor Jing Hong said in a deep voice: "Xu'er, stop."
Emperor Jing Hong's voice was not high, but Xiao Xu, who was always paying attention to the lower part of the platform, heard it clearly.
He paused his hand and did not answer, and said loudly: "Have you heard it all? I tried my best to find out the truth. Now the Sixth Prince is willing to tell the truth. As long as you carefully investigate, you can confirm that everything the Sixth Prince said is true. The Sixth Prince and the Cai family are complacent, and a lot of evidence is on the surface!"
When he said this, Xiao Xu suddenly tilted his head and smiled: "But, don't turn around and say that I tortured the Sixth Prince to confess that the Sixth Prince said a false confession."
Xiao Xu laughed more and more exaggeratedly. In the end, he laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth. He pointed at the sixth prince beside him, who was scared or hurt, but was already full of tears: "I'll give you your treasures again." As he said that, he lifted his collar and threw the people into the crowd of royal guards.
The moment the sixth prince was left behind, he had only time to say "ah".
The guards at the bottom had been ready for battle, and saw this, subconsciously reached out to take it. With such concerted efforts, several guards were still broken with their arms, but at least the Sixth Prince did not fall out.
The moment he was placed flat on the ground, the sixth prince fainted.
"Hurry, hurry, please call the imperial physician." Someone shouted anxiously.
The old patriarch Cai didn't care about anything else and rushed to the side of the Sixth Prince and screamed heartily. This is the hope of the Cai family in the future. If the Cai family wants to turn around, they expect the Sixth Prince to take that position in the future.
Emperor Jing Hong looked up at Xiao Xu on the platform with his hands.
Xiao Xu also looked down at Emperor Jing Hong, his eyes changing unpredictable, with sadness and helplessness, and a little relieved.
At this time, the Imperial Guards and the Huaijing Yamen had gathered to the high platform.
Looking at the imperial guards and officers getting closer and closer, Xiao Xu turned to look at Jing Yu, and the subordinates led by Huo Yeqing and Zhang Li suddenly knelt on their knees and gave a big gift.
"This time I was tired of taking you, and I couldn't take you to great success, but I might have implicated you and died with me."
"Criminal, don't say that." Everyone knelt on the ground with sincerity on their faces.
Jing Yu said: "We voluntarily followed the prince. The prince had already explained the interests to us and gave us money to leave first. We were willing to accompany you to die."
"Yes, the prince is grateful to us for his kindness. It is our blessing to be able to follow the prince in this life."
"Even if you die today, what's the point? You will be another hero in 18 years!"
"It is our honor to die with the prince!"
The guards were so proud that they looked at Xiao Xu with sincerity and trust, without any resentment.
Xiao Xu was moved. When he thought of Chu Junlan, his smile became softer.
At this time, the Imperial Guards and the officers boarded the platform and rushed forward.
Xiao Xu did not resist, and let people press his shoulders and handcuff him with chains. Everyone under his command put down their weapons and surrendered.
In this way, the court still captured Xiao Xu, a "murderer" rebel without spending a soldier.
Seeing Xiao Xu and his party being tied down, Emperor Jing Hong's face was depressed. Xiao Xu was making such a big deal. Even if he wanted to protect him, he could not favor so many people and civil and military officials. He had to order: "Please detain the person for a time being in prison of the Ministry of Justice. I will investigate the matter in person."
