Lie Junhou [Rebirth]

"Your Majesty, please summon Shao Chongyou to enter the palace. There is another old woman who is a witness to this matter. She is also in Jinling City and should be summoned together." Lin Yi saluted.

Tianwei was terrifying, he stared silently for a long time, the throne was high above, Emperor Yongguang's expression was not clear, he seemed to be the ruler half hidden in the shadow, his gaze swept across the crown prince, Xiao Fang, and then Xiao Huan.

He waved his hand: "Lu Qiu, go and do it."

Emperor Yongguang's voice was a little heavy, as if full of anger, so he was extremely calm, and he looked at Lin Yi: "Say."

All the ministers under the seat were silent.

Lin Yidao: "Less than a year ago, it was rumored that there was a family surnamed Shao in Xun'an, who was slaughtered by Shao Chongyou. The male owner of the Shao family died as early as 30 years ago, and the wife of the Shao family was Shao Chongyou's nominal mother. This Mrs. Shao, originally surnamed Xu, was born in a Jiangnan clan——a side branch of the Xu family in Huizhou."

The Xu family in Huizhou is one of the top ten aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River. Generations of talents in the family have become officials, and there are countless people who have been appointed as marquises and worshiped ministers, and their reputation is outstanding.

Apart from other things, Concubine Luo, the highest-ranking concubine in the harem of the Yan Kingdom, was born in the Xu family.

Concubine Luo Gui is Xiao Fang's mother and concubine. Hearing this, everyone in the hall naturally thought of him, and couldn't help looking at King Jingyang Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang was expressionless, and stood calmly where he was, looking at Lin Yi's back coldly, without any sign of panic, and everyone was confused again for a while.

Lin Yi said again: "Before Mrs. Shao got married, she had a good sister of the same clan in her natal Xu family, but that sister was born in the Xu family's direct line, and she has both tolerance and virtue, so she was selected as a concubine when she entered the palace, and she was often by His Majesty's side."

"Concubine Luo Gui..." Everyone was in an uproar, and then suddenly stopped talking, not daring to speak rashly.

Emperor Yongguang almost exuded a cold air, and murmured: "Qing Rong..."

Xu Qingrong is exactly the real name of Concubine Luo Gui.

Outside the palace, there are three thousand bustling places by the Huai River, and there are countless silk string wine shops.

Shao Chongyou left the small building surrounded by luxury and luxury, with the Wanren sword on his waist, Nie Yanli leaned on the fence of the box with a cup in his hand and looked down, watching him walk through the streets alone in the mist and rain.

He followed the crowd in the hazy water and mist all the way to the outside of the palace, just in time to meet the rugged guard envoy who was ordered to come out. The other party recognized Shao Chongyou at a glance.

"Hand over the sword and follow us into the palace."

The envoy Lu Xiaowei knew that he was a superb kungfu, and also knew the rumors that this person killed people without batting an eyelid, so he bite the bullet and surrounded him.

There was a brief murmur in Fengtian Hall, Lin Yi ignored the shock of everyone, and continued to talk about the old things.

"Mrs. Shao married Xun'an far away. Originally, it was difficult to have any contact with her concubine's younger sister, but by coincidence, the two were pregnant almost at the same time. When the imperial concubine was pregnant with the dragon heir, she was not very happy physically and mentally. Inviting Mrs. Shao to Jinling, not only can you often enter the palace as a companion, but you can also have the doctors and precious medicinal materials in Jinling City take care of your body, it can be said that we are blessed to share, and sisters love each other deeply."

"Back then Mrs. Shao and the imperial concubine both gave birth to a baby boy and recuperated after giving birth. Mrs. Shao left Jinling and returned to Xun'an. By chance, they both had children again. Gradually, the two sisters had no reason to get together again, and they hardly contacted each other anymore. .”

Emperor Yongguang seemed to have a premonition of what he was going to say, his brows were furrowed, and all the officials didn't know what to do, but they didn't dare to look at Xiao Fang at this time. Holy wrath will lead to catastrophe.

King Jingyang Xiao Fang has been running the court for many years, and the officials of Xiao Fang's party got hints from him. Although they were suspicious, they still spoke out to reprimand Lin Yi, vowing to stop him from talking outrageous words.

Xiao Fang stood beside him with his hands down, how turbulent his heart was, he couldn't show his face, he calmly made a gesture towards an inconspicuous little servant at the corner of the hall, and the little waiter slipped out of the chaos without a sound. Fengtian Temple of a pot of porridge.

Emperor Yongguang was frightened and angry, and the Fengtian Palace was as quiet as stagnant water: "Marquis Lie Jun, if there is a mistake in this matter, you should know what crime you are in!"

Lin Yi said indifferently: "It is a capital crime to deceive the emperor and deceive the public. But it is not me who deserves to die, but Xun An Shao who acted out of his own selfishness 26 years ago."

Lin Yi was a little fortunate that Concubine Luo did not go back to the palace directly today, but happened to go to Yundu Temple, otherwise he would not know how to face Concubine Luo.

"The imperial concubine was loyal but she believed in the wrong person. Mrs. Shao harbored evil thoughts. After the two gave birth, she relied on the trust of the imperial concubine and took advantage of the weakness of the imperial concubine after giving birth. Someone exchanged the prince with her own son. , to bring the dragon's heir back to Xun'an, but to leave his own flesh and blood in Jinling—a big mistake, and one mistake lasted 26 years."

The room was full of silence, a ray of skylight entered the hall, and thousands of dust floated silently.

Emperor Yongguang didn't know what to say for a while, his heart was cold, and he looked at Lin Yi, not knowing whether it was anger or shock.

There was indeed such a thing in the past, Concubine Luo Gui was weak, and reacted a lot after pregnancy, and she was depressed, she once asked for the old sisters in the clan to be companions.

An unspeakable and unpredictable incident in the past of the royal family was opened up in such a big way, and it was exposed in broad daylight without any cover, and there was no room for retreat.

Emperor Yongguang couldn't take the face of the Tian family into consideration anymore, he was just wondering, could it be true?

Finally, Xiao Fang couldn't bear it any longer. With slow but heavy steps, he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Lie Junhou Lin Yi, do you think this king is a fake? With nothing to say, he sneaked a heinous and lowly death row prisoner out of the dungeon. With the blood of the royal family, what do you mean by being a royal Tianwei? Is it a joke!"

"Your Majesty, people have been brought here." Two teams of rough guards took Shao Chongyou and an old woman to the outside of Fengtian Hall respectively.

Emperor Yongguang was powerless to open his mouth and didn't want to say a word. Lu Qi, who was sitting next to him, gestured in time: "Bring it in."

A ray of light came from outside the gate of the high hall, and Shao Chongyou had removed his sword, and was almost firmly surrounded by more than a dozen rough guards and led him in, for fear that this not long ago felon on death row would suddenly explode.

Shao Chongyou's pace was unhurried. He was tall and strong, with a sharp and stern face, sword-shaped eyebrows, thin lips, and an indifferent expression. His deep eyes always looked at everything without emotion. He swept across the people in the hall slightly, but Nobody looked.

He has almost no rivals for the Wanren Sword in the Jianghu. He walked all the way through the center of the hall without any waves. He was dressed in a slightly white civilian military uniform, but he wore the imposing manner of a prince's royal uniform, as if he was sitting on the throne of the emperor and his subordinates. I don't pay attention to anything.

In terms of posture alone, he and Xiao Huan are like brothers. It seems that he doesn't care about the so-called honorary title of phoenix son and dragon grandson. If he doesn't want to, the imperial city won't be able to keep him.

Emperor Yongguang looked at Shao Chongyou intently.

Shao Chongyou also raised his eyes to look at Emperor Yongguang for a moment, but he just glanced at him.

He walked to a certain place and stood still, turned his head slightly, and was facing Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang stared at him, then turned his head, and said to Emperor Yongguang: "Father, this is a felon on death row, his identity is unknown, how can he really go to the court to cause trouble for the court!"

Lin Yi said coldly: "Your Highness—let's call you Your Highness again. Even if nothing happened, you are brothers of the same clan. Why are you in such a hurry to kill him?"

"Lin Yi, you are bold! Take the death row prisoner out of the prison privately, do whatever you want, and then slander the identity of the king, do you think this court is yours!" Xiao Fang said angrily.

Lin Yi sneered, and said leisurely: "Why did Benhou take the death row prisoner out of the prison, who should know the reason most? If someone hadn't tried every means to make Shao Chongyou die in prison, why would Benhou be worried and helpless? take away!"

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard the words, Xiao Fang said coldly: "Absurd and slanderous, you are so courageous!"

"Shut up!" Emperor Yongguang sternly shouted, he couldn't open his mouth to question Xiao Fang, at this point, blood relationship and face, royal family dignity and truth are all in a single thought, and he still left a little leeway.

"What evidence is there?"

Lin Yi looked back at the old woman who was brought in behind, and said: "The Shao family was slaughtered, but one of the servants who knew the Shao family survived."

The old woman was trembling, knelt down and kowtowed, tears pouring down her cheeks, she didn't know whether she was frightened or what, she said in a hoarse voice: "Caomin was working in Madam Shao's courtyard back then, son...he was not Madam's own Cao Min once heard Madam discussing with Mrs. Chen, talking about Young Master, worried about what happened to Dongchuang. Madam... She also said that he should simply let Young Master die, and there would be no evidence for his death, and his princes and grandchildren would have nowhere to find..."

Emperor Yongguang was shocked: "What did you say!"

The old woman was so frightened that she kowtowed repeatedly, but was forced to hold her by the guards, and said: "The grassroots dare not lie, Madam treats the young master... worse than treating the servants of the mansion, beats and kicks every day, and serves as a servant, anyone will treat you like this." Bullying, if this is your own, how can it be like this?"

Emperor Yongguang's heart was full of anger. If this is true, then the real fourth prince has been betrayed and abused since he was a child.

Lin Yi stepped forward and said: "The Shao family has been destroyed, but how the real fourth prince was abused when he was in the Shao family, and now many insiders can be found, and they have been brought to Jinling one after another so far. Check and verify."

Someone asked: "So what if the Shao family abused their son? You can't conclude that the Shao family did something to replace the emperor's heir. Those who committed the crime are all dead. It can be said that there is no proof of death. How can we conclude with a few mouths?"

Lin Yi sneered and said, "That's a good question. No other evidence is needed for this matter. The evidence lies in the so-called 'His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince' himself."

Emperor Yongguang said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Lin Yi bowed, glanced at Xiao Fang, and said firmly: "The so-called Fourth Highness, you have become a golden branch and a jade leaf after being exchanged. It's fine if you don't know it, but you know it long ago. I have to admire that Your Highness has deliberately planned to send you a gift when he was eight years old. My confidant went to Xun'an by my side, and secretly pushed the boat along to 'help' Shao Chongyou escape from home, what was the purpose of the fight? To let him die outside with wounds all over his body, or to make him unable to recover his identity again?"

Xiao Fang's face turned pale. He didn't expect Lin Yi to have found out this point in secret. He said sadly to Emperor Yongguang: "Father, Marquis Lie Jun is in trouble, framed and provoked, and you must not trust him!"

Emperor Yongguang thought that Xiao Fang didn't know about it all the time, at most his identity was changed, but he heard that Xiao Fang knew his original identity since he was a child, and he had lied to himself and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all these years, so he couldn't help being furious and angry add.

Xiao Fang has been knowingly committing crimes. He has operated under a false identity for so many years. If the throne falls into his hands, he will cheat the Xiao family away!

But after all, when the son is raised to this day, the father-son relationship is actually quite ridiculous.

Lin Yi didn't give Xiao Fang any chance to defend himself, and said coldly: "'Four Highnesses', you tried your best to find Shao Chongyou, and you even used Concubine Luo as a threat to force him to obey your orders. You still want to lurk beside Benhou. Do you have any conscience at all? Concubine Luo has nurtured her kindness for many years, but it is nothing?"

Emperor Yongguang slapped the imperial case fiercely, with a fishy smell almost overflowing from his chest, staring at Xiao Fang in disbelief: "You threaten the life of your mother and concubine? Xiao Fang!"

Shao Chongyou, who had always seemed to stay out of the matter, raised his eyelids, and his expression flashed a little moved.

He has never been loved by his mother since he was born, only a fake mother abused him endlessly.

But when Xiao Fang threatened his real biological mother Luo Guifei, Shao Chongyou stared coldly at Xiao Fang's messenger for a moment, then nodded.

He kills like hemp, and has no opponent under the sword, but it doesn't mean he has no heart.

He had seen how other people's mothers took care of their children, and he thought that his own mother should also be a good mother.

Although this kind of warmth should be missed in this life, when he bowed his head for a concubine Luo Gui he had never met before, he suddenly understood what the so-called kinship in the world and blood is thicker than water mean - separated by thousands of miles of fate... , a string in my heart is touched like an induction.

Xiao Fang said without hesitation: "It was Shao Chongyou who deliberately approached me, deliberately scheming, claiming to work for me, but he had other plans!"

Lin Yi said disdainfully: "You can't help but think too much of yourself. He has perfect martial arts. If he didn't take care of his biological mother Luo Guifei, why would he bow to you? What do you think you can make him listen to you?"
