The big guy travels through the book and becomes the female supporting role, torturing the scumbag a

Han Chen's letter was quickly delivered to the capital by horseback.

Emperor Taihe and Concubine Jiang were both very surprised when they heard the news.

Emperor Taihe carefully examined the report in his hand, marveling, "The victim in this Xu family substitution case turned out to be Xie Yun's long-missing eldest son? How could such a coincidence exist in the world?"

At the end of his speech, he suddenly snorted coldly, "Didn't Xie Yun plead for Xu and the concubine's daughter before, worried that the people under him would be tortured into confessing? Go call him over, I want to hear what he has to say this time!"

The eunuch immediately took the order and left.

Xie Yun was in the Hanlin Academy. When he learned that Emperor Taihe had summoned him, his heart skipped a beat, and he suspected that Emperor Taihe was going to make trouble again.

Not long ago, the Black Kirin Guards reported that Mei Qingchuan's mistress had poisoned someone and switched her newly born daughter with another baby girl. She was exposed on the spot and taken to the government.

He suspected at the time that the Black Kirin Guards were deliberately trying to smear Xu in order to arrest him and force him to confess.

So he said a few words in front of Emperor Taihe, hoping that Xu could be escorted to Beijing and the matter could be thoroughly investigated!

As a result, Emperor Taihe not only refused to listen, but also confiscated one year's salary from him.

Although he looked down on that little salary, he was disheartened by the fact that Emperor Taihe was so partial to Concubine Jiang and the Black Kirin Guards, allowing them to act recklessly without seeing his loyalty!

Xie Yun frowned slightly and followed the eunuch to Chengtian Hall with a heavy heart.

"I am here to see your Majesty! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"

Emperor Taihe gave him a meaningful look. Seeing that he was kneeling upright on the ground and didn't dare to stand up, he raised his lips in satisfaction and asked with a chuckle, "I remember that your eldest son has been missing for many years. Is there no news from him?"

Xie Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't understand why Emperor Taihe asked about Xie Xiu.

Xie Xiu was indeed his eldest son, but he had lost contact with the outside world eleven years ago when he went out to study. Until now, there was no news of him, whether he was alive or dead.

With the identity of Emperor Taihe, there is no way he could have noticed a tiny Xie Xiu.

Now he suddenly asked, could it be...

Xie Yun suddenly had a guess in his mind, and he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, my eldest son has indeed been missing for many years, and there has been no news of him since then."

After saying this, he sighed deeply, as if he had already guessed that Xie Xiu had met with an accident.

When Emperor Taihe heard his sigh, he couldn't help but think of the report just delivered by the Black Kirin Guards, and felt that Xie Yun was really ridiculous.

After all, Xie Xiu was his eldest son. Although he had been missing for many years, his body had never been found.

Xie Yun was so good that he didn't think about his son being alive, but instead treated him as a dead person.

It's really ruthless.

Emperor Taihe felt the irony in his heart, but he couldn't help but smile: "My dear minister, why are you sighing like that? Do you think your son is already dead?"

Xie Yun felt unhappy when he heard his cheerful tone.

His son died, and Your Majesty actually laughed in front of him. Is he still a human being?

But he soon realized something was wrong.

and many more!

Your Majesty, could it be that...

Xie Yun's eyes widened in astonishment. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I naturally hope that my son is still alive, but he has been missing for eleven years and there has been no news of him. If he were still alive, how could this happen?"

After saying this, he smiled sadly.

Emperor Taihe thought of the news about Xie Xiu sent by the Black Kirin Guards, and when he looked at Xie Yun's face full of sorrow, he found it particularly funny.

The old guy is quite good at pretending!

He scoffed inwardly, but laughed heartily on the surface, saying, "Has Lord Xie never considered that your son might have had an accident, which is why there has been no news from him for so many years?"

Xie Yun had naturally thought about it. He had guessed that Xie Xiu was most likely not dead, and Emperor Taihe must have known Xie Xiu's whereabouts, which was why he deliberately summoned him for questioning.

But now he can only play dumb.

Xie Yun raised his head, a look of astonishment on his face: "Your Majesty, do you know the whereabouts of my son?"

Emperor Taihe was very pleased with his reaction and laughed heartily, "Thank you, my dear minister, do you still remember Mei Qingchuan's concubine who fled out of fear of punishment?"

Xie Yun subconsciously frowned, and his heart was in turmoil: Could there be any connection between the Xu family and Xie Xiu, who had been missing for many years?

He didn't dare to ask any questions, but just said respectfully, "Of course I remember."

Emperor Taihe saw his reluctance and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, then continued: "What a coincidence, the Black Kirin Guards just sent us news that the victim of the poisoning and substitution case is also called Xie Xiu.

The Black Kirin Guards noticed that he looked very similar to their son, and that his name was Xie Xiu, so they asked him about his situation. They then learned that Xie Xiu had suffered a head injury eleven years ago and had lost all his memories.

He was injured and drifted to Tujia Village, where he married the Tu family's wife and settled down there. However, in order to protect her own daughter, Xu Shi actually set her sights on Xie Xiu's daughter.

If Xie Xiu had not been alert and discovered something was wrong in time, exposing Xu's daughter's substitution, his newly born daughter would have been exiled to the border instead of Xu's daughter, and would have gone from being the daughter of a legitimate family to the concubine of a convicted official.

Xie Aiqing, what do you think caused this incident? Mei Qingchuan is your student, and if Xie Xiuzhen is your eldest son who has been missing for many years, then the Xu family is like a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple, bringing disaster to their own family.

Xie Yun knelt stiffly on the ground, his face flushed red.

He finally understood why Emperor Taihe suddenly summoned him and asked about his eldest son who had been missing for many years!

His son who had been missing for eleven years turned out to be the victim of Xu’s baby-switch case!

No wonder Emperor Taihe laughed, Your Majesty was clearly mocking his lack of vision!

Not long ago, he pleaded for Xu because he couldn't bear to see her and her daughter exiled to the border.

Now Emperor Taihe used Xie Xiu's identity to slap him in the face, saying that the person Xu wanted to swap was his own granddaughter!

Xie Yun secretly clenched his fists, but couldn't say a word.

What else could he say now?

Does that mean that person is not the real Xie Xiu, but an imposter or a fake?

Or should we continue to say that Xu is innocent and was probably forced to confess?

He can't say anything!

Emperor Taihe looked down at him and saw that Xie Yun was speechless due to the shock. Then he said compassionately, "Whether that man is Xie Xiu or not, I think only Lord Xie knows for sure.

My dear Lord Xie, why don't you go there in person and check for me whether Xie Xiu is your son.

It just so happens that you're worried that Xu might be forced to confess. So, let's go check on her and see if she's been tortured."

Xie Yun bowed quickly: "I obey your command!"

Emperor Taihe smiled good-naturedly: "I imagine you are also eager to see your son. Let's set off immediately. I will send a team of Black Qilin Guards to escort you all the way. There will be no delays on the way."

As soon as Xie Yun heard this, he knew that Emperor Taihe wanted him to ride as fast as possible and rush there day and night.

How could he, a civil official, withstand such torture?

But he couldn't refuse, otherwise he would be disobeying the emperor's order.

Even though he was so angry that he wanted to curse Emperor Taihe's eight generations of ancestors, Xie Yun had to smile and thank him: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"

Emperor Taihe waved his hand with a smile and sent him out: "Go."

Xie Yun: “!!!”
