Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Xu Jinyu murmured quietly: "A life has been lost, and the Marquis of Pingyang is still not punished."

"I understand. Even in modern society, parents who abuse their children have a fig leaf of "doing good for you". It is extremely difficult for children who are abused to leave their families, not to mention the ancient times when filial piety was the rule."

"Once the family is involved, it becomes hard to explain."

Xu Jinyu's voice was not loud, Xiao Chen did not hear clearly, so he asked again,

"Master Xu, what did you say?"

"nothing!"

But Xu Jinyu soon perked up and opened the system.

Seeing Xu Jinyu's actions, Xiao Chen and Zuo Yuanying knew that Xu Jinyu was trying to find out the secrets of Marquis Pingyang again.

[I just don't believe it. There is no evidence for such a serious matter as killing a person.]

Emperor Xuan's eyebrows twitched. Since Marquis Pingyang refused to admit it, it was not easy for him to take Marquis Pingyang's clothes off by force.

At least there needs to be a reason to make it happen, otherwise the noble group will be terrified.

【There really is! 】

Xu Jinyu's exclamation made Pingyang Hou's face turn pale.

I desperately began to recall what I had missed.

A smile appeared on Emperor Xuan's face. As long as there was evidence, it would be fine. With the evidence, it would be up to him as the emperor to decide how to deal with the case. Whether it was a heavy or light punishment, it was all up to him.

All the officials were also looking forward to Xu Jinyu's evidence.

This time Xu Jinyu was particularly excited.

"Over the years, Pingyang Hou has seized Liu's dowry and expelled or sent the people in the industry to the government. However, Liu brought so much dowry that year, so there must be something that Pingyang Hou neglected."

[In the mansion of Marquis Pingyang, there is a gardener who grows beautiful flowers and is deeply loved by the wife of Marquis Pingyang.]

[This gardener was the aunt of Liu's personal maid. She entered the mansion through a human trafficker. She had no relationship with Liu on the surface, so she was not eliminated by Pingyang Hou.]

[She stayed in the Marquis' Mansion all these years just to investigate the cause of her niece's death.]

[After all these years, she finally found out the cause of her niece's death. She had a letter in her hand from the time when Pingyang Hou and his current wife discussed how to take action against Liu.]

[The letter also said that as long as Liu was gone, the huge fortune and the position of the Crown Prince's wife would be mine.]

[My Jiaojiao just needs to wait and enjoy this overwhelming wealth. ]

[Isn't it disgusting? They put murder for money in such a nice way. 】

Pingyang Hou's legs went weak. He wondered why his wife hadn't dealt with these letters yet.

This is deadly stuff.

However, Marquis Pingyang quickly found an excuse for himself. It was just a lie to deceive women, so how could he take it seriously?

He was still lying to the girls in the brothel, saying that he was going to marry the most beautiful lady in a grand sedan chair. How could it be true if it was just a casual act?

【besides········】

And! Cold sweat oozed out of Pingyang Hou's face.

[Back then, the midwife's family was dealt with by Pingyang Hou, but the midwife was not stupid. How could she not leave any evidence when dealing with dirty matters for a wealthy family? ]

[The evidence is buried three feet under the midwife's bed. Because the midwife's family died tragically, the yard has not been sold yet. All we have to do is dig under the midwife's bed.]

[Let this midwife do something bad, and her whole family will be killed. ]

[There is also a shop that sold medicinal herbs back then. ]

There was a hint of despair on Pingyang Hou's face. Was he so dishonest in handling things back then?

[The owner of the drug store is a careful person. He keeps a record of any drug that is harmful to the human body.]

[In order to keep his actions secret, the Marquis of Pingyang went to buy it himself. The shopkeeper is still alive, so we have both witnesses and evidence.]

This time, not only did Pingyang Hou's legs feel weak, his head was also buzzing. Why didn't the midwife and the owner of the drug store handle the situation properly?

The midwife's family should have dug three feet deep into the ground.

[This is still not safe, let me look for it again. ]

[Wow! There are several old servants in front of the old lady of Pingyang Marquis who all know what happened back then. Pingyang Marquis was still young back then and didn’t think deeply enough. He didn’t handle things so cleanly. It was all handled by the old Pingyang Marquis and the old lady.]

[Also, the Liu family has been secretly collecting evidence over the years and has a lot of stuff in their hands.]

[These should be enough to punish the Marquis of Pingyang! ]

[But how can I tell the internal security personnel about this? ]

Before Xu Jinyu could finish his struggle, a man dressed in inner guard uniform walked quickly into the court room and reported to Emperor Xuan in a low voice.

Xu Jinyu's eyes lit up. Now that the inside guard has come on the scene, the problem should be solved!

[Dead! This time, Pingyang Hou is dead! 】

Amid Xu Jinyu's cheerful voice, Emperor Xuan looked coldly at the pale-faced Marquis of Pingyang.

"There is irrefutable evidence that Marquis Pingyang murdered his wife and abused his children. He will be imprisoned and another person will be chosen to inherit the title of Marquis Pingyang."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

As for other punishments, Pingyang Hou was not afraid of them. In Daqian, killing his wife was not a particularly serious crime. At most, he would be beaten with a stick and go to jail.

But the title of Marquis Pingyang is different.

That title belongs to him and must not fall into Wei An's hands.

Others may not know how he treated Wei An over the years, but he himself is clear.

Once Wei An gains power, he will definitely not let him go, including his beloved wife and young son.

Marquis Pingyang wanted to struggle but was silenced by the inner guards. The evidence Xu Jinyu mentioned is now being collected. Once the evidence is collected and the people from the Liu family come to the capital, Marquis Pingyang can be dealt with.

As for who should be given the title of Marquis of Pingyang, Emperor Xuan intended to give Wei An some face and listen to his opinion.

"Call Wei An to the palace!"
