The eldest son is fierce

Emperor Yanwen was very angry, because the Jinyiwei were the emperor's sword.

But now, the knife was pointed at him, the emperor.

They even dared to blatantly conspire with the prince, gave false testimony and framed Liu Gongjin, trying to make Liu Gongjin take the blame for these bastards. How can this be tolerated?

Now that I have this contract, I can clean up the Second Division of the Imperial Guard.

"Since the contract has been concluded, let's execute it according to the contract."

Emperor Yanwen spoke calmly and returned the contract to Tang Yi.

Su Kuang's face turned pale. Execute according to the contract? Then all the staff of the two departments would have to run naked. That would become a big joke in Kyoto, and people would laugh at them for thousands of years.

They don't want to be passed down to future generations in this way!

"Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei are directly under Your Majesty. If we follow the contract, it may damage Your Majesty's reputation."

Su Kuang immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, saying, "Your Highness and I, the two Jinyiwei, are willing to sell everything we have to compensate each of them with 5,000 taels of silver as an apology."

"Your Majesty, please...abolish the contract."

"Moreover, Tang Yi only cracked the account books of the ministers, but did not solve Gu Cheng's murder case. The bet between me and Yichu is about Gu Cheng's murder case."

Emperor Yanwen narrowed his eyes. Abolish the contract? Humph, wishful thinking.

And you want to damage my reputation? Did you ever think about my reputation when you were fooling around outside?

Besides, am I the kind of person who cares about face?

Before he could say anything, Ning Chuan had already walked out.

"Your Majesty, the Gu Cheng case has been solved. The man who killed Gu Cheng was Gu Fu, the steward of the Gu Mansion."

Su Kuang raised his head suddenly, his pupils shrinking.

Gu Fu?

The old man who was almost hunched over on the ground in front of him and didn't even dare to look at him?

Is he the murderer?

What a joke!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could a man in his sixties poison Gu Cheng?"

Su Kuang's voice became sharp, and he pointed at Ning Chuan and said, "Your Majesty, Ning Chuan is talking nonsense. He is talking nonsense to harm me. I have personally investigated. On the night of the incident, Gu Fu was in the brothel. How could he have poisoned me?"

Ning Chuan glanced at Su Kuang, raised the secret letter he had just deciphered, and said, "It is indeed Gu Fu. Gu Cheng said so in the secret letter before he died."

"The one who killed him was Gu Fu. The evidence is hidden in the secret compartment next to the bed in Gu Fu's room. It's a poison called 'Yanwangyan'."

"The poisoning method was ice. Gu Cheng liked to drink cold drinks, so every night Gu Fu would prepare cold drinks with ice cubes the size of a child's fist in the cup."

"It takes time for the ice to melt, which naturally provides Gu Cheng with sufficient alibi."

"That's why we couldn't find any clues in Gu Fu's room."

"Also, Gu Cheng took the poison himself because Gu Fu threatened his entire family. If he didn't die, his entire family would die."

Upon hearing this, there was a murmur of discussion in the hall, and many people glanced at the prince from time to time, obviously suspecting that this was the prince's work.

This made the prince almost vomit blood in anger. This has nothing to do with me!

I wanted to kill him, but before I could do anything, he was already dead.

After reading the secret letter that Ning Chuan had just translated, Su Kuang's face turned pale and gloomy. Even though he was unwilling, he knew that this was the truth.

He knew Ningchuan's character. There was no need for him to lie at this time, especially since the emperor was there.

"You...already knew the truth?!"

Su Kuang looked up at Tang Yi and almost couldn't help but rush to kill him.

Tang Yi nodded and said, "Yes, when I arrived at the scene that day, I had already deciphered the truth. I also told you that I already know the real culprit."

"You guys even applauded me and praised me at that time."

When Su Kuang heard this, he almost vomited blood.

Are we complimenting you?

We are humiliating you!

But they didn't expect that they would be the ones who were humiliated.

It turned out that Tang Yi was not bragging that day. He really knew the truth and told them part of the truth.

But they didn't believe it at the time. So many people went to the scene but didn't find any clues. You knew the truth as soon as you got to the scene and fiddled with it a few times?

Who dares to believe it? Who will believe it?

As it turns out, this is true.

Thinking of this, Su Kuang was filled with hatred.

How shameless! This bastard always acts like he has everything under control, making people think he is pretending and looking down on him... But in the end, he is just secretly planning his big move!

If I had believed him at the beginning, I wouldn't have lost so badly today!

When Emperor Yanwen saw Su Kuang's face full of frustration and unwillingness, he thought to himself, with your cunning mind, can you ever defeat Tang Yi?

Even I have to listen to his orders and give up my plan to complete his plan. You are nothing!

"Su Kuang, are you still dissatisfied?" Emperor Yanwen asked in a cold voice, looking down at him.

"I surrender." Su Kuang closed his eyes in pain.

At this point, he was powerless to reverse the situation.

"I accept. Then let's execute the contract!"

Emperor Yanwen stared at Su Kuang with cold eyes and said meaningfully, "After executing the contract with Tang Yi, you and the Crown Prince will discuss what kind of excuse you can come up with to deceive me and make me not pursue the charge of forging evidence."

"Also, release everyone who should be released. If anyone dies, I'll blame it on you!"

Su's kneeling body trembled suddenly. He recognized the knocking of Emperor Yanwen, which was a warning to him to release the hostages.

The emperor knew that they had arrested the family members of the witness and forced them to give false testimony. Now he wanted them to release the family members of the witness and not to kill them to silence them.

If you kill him, he will die too!

"Prince, please say something!"

Su Kuang roared in his heart.

As a result, he saw that the prince, who usually acted so arrogantly in front of him, now had his head almost stuck in his belt.

I don’t even dare to raise my head!

Seeing this scene, Su Kuang knew that he had lost this game completely.

The master has admitted defeat, what else can he do? Disobey the order?

Su Kuang kowtowed heavily and said, "Yes, I obey your command."

"Haha, father is wise! Father is wise!"

Seeing that the dust had settled, Xiao Di jumped up instantly, he was so excited.

When he and Tang Yi reported for duty that day, the Second Division was extremely arrogant and didn't take them seriously at all.

The first thing he did was to show his power and trample them all under his feet.

Now, they are the ones being stepped on!

The frustration in Xiao Di's heart instantly disappeared.

Cool!

"Get out of my way! If you say another word of nonsense, I'll cut you."

Emperor Yanwen glared at Xiao Di fiercely and almost couldn't help kicking him.

idiot!

Can't you see that this is a trap for you? And you're still laughing so heartlessly.

If it weren't for Tang Yi, you would have been disgraced by now. A dignified prince would have to run around naked in front of the people of Kyoto. Even if I give you this position in the future, you won't be able to sit on it.

First of all, clan etiquette and laws will not tolerate you!

You still have the nerve to smile like that. I want to reward you with a big ass bag!

Seeing Xiao Di retreat behind Tang Yi, Emperor Yanwen looked at his ministers, his hands behind his back, and asked, "My dear ministers, do you have anything else to report?"

The ministers were speechless.

Today's court meeting is lively enough. Who dares to make a speech now?

"No more? Then I'll say a few words."

Emperor Yanwen looked at Tang Yi and said, "The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery solved the national treasury case and made great contributions to the court. He was promoted to the rank of Captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Hmm? I didn't grant you a fief when I was in Shen Garden, right?"

"Then I'll give it to you all at once this time. The fiefdom of Xianyang will be given to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and the fiefdom of food... then you'll be the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."
