540: C540 Admit It

C540 Admit It

It wasn't good for Zhao Wuji to confront Xiao Yun at this moment.

He let out a cold snort and immediately said to the messenger eunuch, "Bring me in now!"

"Then... we'll have to wait for my family to notify us first."

"No need!"

Third Duke.

Not only was he powerful, but he also had a lot of wealth.

His family was spread all over the world, only slightly lower than the royal family.

He didn't need to report to His Majesty, he could directly go and meet His Majesty.

This was under the situation where the power of the previous three dukes of Qin Country had been reduced and reduced.

The messenger eunuch was also helpless.

He could only laugh bitterly and look at Xiao Yun worriedly. Then, he let the Imperial Guards open the palace door and let Zhao Wuji in.

Zhao Wuji naturally could not fight alone.

He did not even need to shout. With just a glance, dozens of officials behind him came up to him.

These were not out of Xiao Yun's expectation, but Prime Minister Lee's carriage also came over.

This guy actually came over?

He was an upright fellow who liked to join in the fun. No wonder His Majesty hated him.

Now, Xiao Yun also somewhat hated him.

Sure enough, in the end, a large group of people entered the palace together.

Even His Majesty was somewhat stunned when he saw it.

He originally planned to meet Xiao Yun in the study, but now he could only move to the main palace.

He still had to let those officials wait for a while. He changed his clothes and slowly came over.

"Your Majesty."

The officials shouted and bowed.

Only Xiao Yun curiously looked at his majesty's clothes.

This dress was not common to Xiao Yun. Judging from the color and details, it was obviously newly made.

It seemed that the royal family had finally gotten some free money recently.

His Majesty first looked at the group of officials before his gaze finally landed on Xiao Yun.

The corner of his eye twitched a few times.

His expression also changed a few times.

His chest heaved up and down.

It was as if he had let out a long sigh.

"Viscount Xiao, I heard that there was a robbery in the capital last night. A group of bandits attacked a few families, killed the head of the family, and kidnapped his family. This caused a huge commotion. Viscount Xiao, have you heard of this?"

His Majesty's simple words caused the officials to suck in a breath of cold air!

Zhao Wuji's pupils constricted. He simply could not believe his ears.

What did he mean?

What did His Majesty mean?

The matter was already very obvious. He did not believe that even he knew the news, but His Majesty was kept in the dark instead.

The only explanation for His Majesty's words was that he wanted to excuse Xiao Yun!

Even every word His Majesty said was a setup.

First of all, those people were bandits. He even asked Xiao Yun if he knew.

As long as Xiao Yun said "I don't know," it would be considered a success.

Even if Xiao Yun was related to this matter, it was still a matter of bandits. At most, they would use private family laws, and not mobilize the army and use the nation's weapons!

The former had room for negotiation.

The latter wanted to force Xiao Yun into a desperate situation.

Even if he took ten thousand steps back.

There was conclusive evidence that those bandits were ordered by Xiao Yun.

Then... although Xiao Yun called himself a peasant, he had the official status!

That was why His Majesty called Xiao Yun "Viscount."

This title was very important.

Because he had the title of nobility, he could use the matter of demolishing the title to offset part of Xiao Yun's crime.

No matter what, he would not die!

This method of exonerating Xiao Yun could be said to be perfect.

Especially the matter of the viscount.

The world would probably forget about it.

Xiao Yun was a hereditary viscount who had his own fiefdom. He was the only noble with real power in Qin Country in a hundred years!

With this identity, it would be difficult for Xiao Yun to die even if he wanted to.

Zhao Wuji felt a chill in his heart.

Xiao Yun had already gone too far with what he had done. It had already touched the bottom line of the royal family, yet His Majesty still did not want to touch him.

What happened?

Could it be that one day Xiao Yun had to put a knife on your neck to make you want to kill someone?

But at this moment.

Just when Zhao Wuji and the other officials thought that Xiao Yun could escape this matter again.

Xiao Yun said, "Your majesty, this matter was ordered by the peasants. Because they were worried that the news would be leaked, some people would run away. So they acted first and reported later. They originally planned to wait until the matter was settled. I didn't expect His Majesty to already know. "

This sentence.

Everyone in the palace stared at him strangely.

This... was unbelievable!

His Majesty was stunned.

Zhao Wuji was also stunned.

Then there was a burst of wild joy!

In his opinion, Xiao Yun had gone crazy.

This was him begging for death!

Thus, he immediately stood up and prepared to list some crimes for Xiao Yun and ask His Majesty to quickly execute him.

But he was still a step too late.

Prime Minister Lee was the first to walk out.

He said loudly, "Your majesty, Saint Xiao used the former important member of the Cabinet, Wu Xi, to remain in the court. He secretly mobilized his troops, killed people without permission, and expelled thousands of people at will. He used the national weapon to conspire for personal gain. This is a crime that cannot be forgiven. He should be punished according to the law!"

Zhao Wuji was originally worried that Prime Minister Lee would also want to excuse Xiao Yun.

When he heard this.

Although he didn't really understand why Prime Minister Lee started to target Xiao Yun.

In any case, he had already called ___ 'good' in his heart.

He was so excited that his body started trembling.

He secretly rubbed his arm and immediately echoed, "Your Majesty, if we allow this child to do whatever he wants, I'm afraid that the country will be in trouble. When I and the other old officials saw Qin Country in such a state, we also shed tears of shame and grief!"

His Majesty obviously didn't react for a moment.

He even reached out his hand to pinch his ear.

He felt that he must have misheard.

Xiao Yun was not a fool.

On the contrary.

He was very smart.

It was impossible for him not to understand his own words.

As for Zhao Wuji and the others, it was impossible for him not to know the purpose of those people's arrival.

How could it be...

Could it be that the favor he had given them was too great? Could it be that this fellow had already become so arrogant?

His Majesty's face gradually darkened.

"Viscount Xiao, what do you say?"

Xiao Yun blinked and did not speak immediately.

Instead, he turned to look at Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji had already started laughing.

His smile was very insidious.

He couldn't help but laugh.

Even if it made him look like a bad person.

But it didn't matter.

As long as he could watch Xiao Yun play him to death, there was nothing else to worry about.

However, Xiao Yun only sighed.

He looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.

Then he turned around and ignored him.

He said to Prime Minister Lee, "Master Li, your words seem to be a little too much. If it was someone else who did not know what was going on, the commoner would understand. However, if it was Master Li who said this, the commoner really wouldn't understand. Could it be that the commoner offended Lord Li in some way? "

Prime Minister Lee coldly snorted.

He did not answer Xiao Yun's stupid question.

Instead, he asked directly, "Do you admit that you did all these things?"

Xiao Yun spread his hands and said, "Not only that, the army has already been sent out. There are 81 soldiers in total. It goes without saying that the army is spread all over Qin Country. They have to go to other countries, and even Sun Moon Country. Those who are on the list of peasants will be hanged. Their families had to be exiled to the Outer Sanctum of the Northern Frontier. This was decided by the peasants. It can't be changed. "

"You, how dare you!"

His Majesty finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

He stood up and berated with a stern voice, "I've spoiled you too much. How did you become so arrogant and domineering? Now, you actually don't repent and don't know to admit your mistakes in front of me. Have you lost your mind? Where do you think this is? This is the Qin Country, and this isn't the world of the Xiao family!"

These words were absolute.

Anyone could tell that His Majesty was furious to the extreme.

Xiao Yun still said calmly, "This matter, the commoner did indeed do it in a hurry. This was the fault of the commoner, but it was only so. It is just a small mistake. Why is His Majesty so angry? And Lord Li, and... Imperial Tutor Zhao, why are all of you so agitated? "

"You..."

This time, even Prime Minister Lee couldn't take it anymore.

He felt that Xiao Yun had suddenly become a fool.

In fact... his words just now did not mean that he wanted to force Xiao Yun into a dead end.

On the contrary, he spoke of Wu Xi first.

He wanted Xiao Yun to abandon his soldiers to protect the carriage and push Wu Xi out. Then, he would reduce his own crime. Although there would be punishment, it was not enough to kill Xiao Yun. There was still room for negotiation.2

After all, in his opinion, Xiao Yun should not have died, but Wu Xi? He should have died a long time ago!

His Majesty was so angry that he laughed instead.

"Hahaha, alright, alright, lad. If you don't come up with a reason today, do you think I'm unwilling to kill you? "
