Chapter 83 Forged Evidence
"The place you said!"
Lin Yuejiao responded and looked around. This was a dilapidated temple, covered with spider webs everywhere.
Xu Zhiyu said that this place had been abandoned for many years and had long been hidden in the mountains and forests, with no one living there, making it a perfect place for the Chu mother and daughter to hide.
The Chu family's mother and daughter were still asleep, so she teleported the bed and couch over.
Xu Zhiyu looked at the ruined temple, his heart restless for a long time. Is this the power of the gods? Can it travel through time and space and transfer people and things?
He was shocked and envious, and wondered whether the fairy would accept a disciple.
But now was not the time to think about these things, he couldn't help but ask: "Fairy, was the Chu family really wiped out because of treason?"
Lin Yuejiao hummed, and Xu Zhiyu immediately tightened his grip on the conch.
"But..." She changed her tone and said, "I was framed!"
"Framed?" Xu Zhiyu's face turned cold, and he stood up for the Chu family. "What kind of despicable villain framed a loyal and honest person? Young Marquis Chu was killing enemies on the battlefield, but his family was killed and exterminated. It's really chilling."
"The current emperor has always been a holy name, how could he listen to the words of a villain and do such a ridiculous thing!"
Lin Yuejiao knew who framed the Chu family, but she didn't say it out loud.
If Xu Zhiyu knew who framed the Chu family, his sense of justice would surely drive him to seek justice for the Chu family.
If he intervened in the Chu family's affairs at this time, not only would he not be able to help the mother and daughter of the Chu family, but he would also implicate himself and the Xu family.
The mother and daughter of the Chu family could only hide here from now on. In order to meet their daily needs, she went back to the store, sent the quilts, tables and chairs over, and also took some food.
Afterwards, he told Xu Zhiyu to take good care of the mother and daughter of the Chu family in the future and left. Xu Zhiyu stayed to clean the dilapidated temple and wait for the mother and daughter of the Chu family to wake up.
She went to the palace again, but instead of looking for Xu Xiyue, she went to the Xuan Zheng Hall.
The emperor was here at this moment. He sat behind the desk, supporting his forehead with one hand, his eyes closed, and his brows furrowed.
Eunuch Zhang stood in front and reported carefully, "Your Majesty, the imperial guards came back to report that Marquis Yongyi... committed suicide!"
"Suicide?" The emperor opened his eyes instantly, his eyes were cold and gloomy.
Eunuch Zhang replied carefully, "Yes, I heard that it was Marquis Yongyi who chose to commit suicide in order to prove the innocence of the young marquis. I ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case and...prove the innocence of the young marquis."
"presumptuous!"
The emperor was furious and slammed the table, scaring Eunuch Zhang so much that he trembled.
"Does he mean that I am a foolish and incompetent ruler who murders loyal people?"
Eunuch Zhang didn't dare to vent his anger. He didn't believe from the bottom of his heart that the young marquis would collude with the enemy and betray the country. How could the young marquis, who was so arrogant,...
Alas, perhaps this is the Chu family’s fate.
Soon, Eunuch Zhang left, and the emperor kept looking at the blood writing on the table.
Lin Yuejiao was curious, so she walked over to take a look, and found that it was evidence of Chu Qingyue's treason.
The person who wrote the blood letter was filled with indignation as he described how Chu Qingyue colluded with the northern barbarians, and the word "Pei" appeared at the end of his writing.
Next to the blood letter was another letter, which also framed Chu Qingyue for treason and was written by Meng Zuogeng.
It turned out that this villain forged evidence to frame Chu Qingyue.
No wonder Meng Zuogeng said at that time that in the future it would be Chu Qingyue who would be attacked by the people of the world, and it would be the Chu family that would be exterminated.
It turned out that from that time on, Meng Zuogeng had already prepared to frame Chu Qingyue for treason.
Lin Yue was very delicate. When she saw the brushes on the pen holder, she quietly took a brush while the emperor's attention was focused on writing with blood, wanting to tell the emperor that Chu Qingyue was framed by Meng Zuogeng.
However, as soon as he wrote a word, the handwriting mysteriously disappeared, and there was no trace of ink on the rice paper, it was clean and spotless.
"Where are the words? System, is this something you did?"
She yelled at Tongzi, and Tongzi said weakly: [Host, the fate of the Chu family is irreversible. Only Chu Qingyue can redress the Chu family's injustice. The host cannot interfere.]
She was unwilling to give up and tried several times, but the writing still disappeared due to the interference of the system.
At this moment, the emperor suddenly looked up!
Lin Yuejiao's eyes met his and she was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously let go of the brush, thinking that the emperor saw her.
But in fact, from the emperor's perspective, he only saw the brush floating in the air.
How can a dead thing move?
He was probably too tired, mentally exhausted by the Chu family's affairs in recent days.
So, he pressed his temple, and when he opened his eyes again, the brush had fallen on the rice paper, and the ink had stained the paper.
The emperor naturally thought that the brush had fallen and that what he had just seen was an illusion, so he picked up the brush and hung it on the pen holder.
It turns out that the emperor didn't see her...
Lin Yuejiao felt relieved, but she couldn't tell the emperor the truth, so she could only leave.
As soon as she left, the emperor looked at the blood letter and murmured, "Qingyue, I really want to believe you, but how can I believe you with General Pei's handwritten blood letter..."
"Everyone in the court knows that General Pei died at your hands, and they all petitioned me to punish the Chu family for treason. I was also... forced to do so. If you are truly innocent, I will give you justice in the future!"
The treatment of the Chu family was partly due to pressure from the officials, but ultimately the emperor did not trust Chu Qingyue.
General Pei's blood letter planted the seeds of doubt in his heart. Once doubt arose, the trust and friendship between the two of them collapsed.
…………
Lin Yuejiao tried to contact Chu Qingyue again, turned on the projector, and the picture suddenly appeared.
She shouted excitedly: "Chu Qingyue...can you hear me? Chu Qingyue..."
In the projection, Chu Qingyue was covered in dust and dirt, wearing the uniform of a Northern Yi soldier. He looked very embarrassed, but his eyes were deep and cold.
She stared at him and shouted several times, but he seemed not to hear her. He just looked at the middle-aged man lying on the haystack, with a hint of grief and anger in his expression.
"General Chu, you can escape with Deputy General Zhou. Don't worry about me. I... I can't leave!"
"General Pei, you must hold on. This general and I will definitely get you out."
The person who spoke was Lieutenant General Zhou. Three months ago, Chu Qingyue rescued Lieutenant General Zhou and used drones to find out the defense situation of the Northern Barbarians. Then he led his men to disguise themselves as Northern Barbarians and infiltrate the enemy to rescue General Pei.
The people were rescued, but General Pei was tortured by the Northern Barbarians until he was only left with one breath. His body was covered with whips and branding, without a single piece of healthy flesh.
When they were escaping, they were accidentally discovered by the Northern Barbarians. Given General Pei's situation, he couldn't go far with him, so now they are still in the Northern Barbarians' territory, and there are Northern Barbarians everywhere outside searching for them.
"Take me with you, you can't escape!"
General Pei spoke weakly, and suddenly grabbed Chu Qingyue's hand, as if he had used up all his life, and grabbed Chu Qingyue with great force.
"General Chu, Meng Zuogeng is a traitor to his country. His crime is unforgivable. Please expose his crimes, get rid of this evil for the country, and defend... defend Tong... Tongchuan!"
"General Pei, General Pei..."
General Pei died right after he finished speaking, his dark yellow and turbid eyes were wide open, he died with his eyes open.
Deputy General Zhou punched the ground in anger, blood all over his fist, and cursed the Northern Barbarians and Meng Zuogeng.
Chu Qingyue had a blank expression on his face, but there was grief and anger in his eyes.
He gently closed General Pei's eyes and said in a hoarse and low voice, "I promise you that I will make Meng Zuogeng's crimes public..."
