The system forced me to be emperor

"Are you stubborn? Pull him down and send him to Dongchang, and pry his mouth open!" The anger in Emperor Xia's heart was burning.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Huo Xingye immediately took him out and escorted him to Dongchang.

Xiao Rui stood aside, it really was a trick!

Then the next plot should be that after being served by Dongchang, the guard admitted that he was ordered by Xiao Rui to assassinate the king of Chu!

Coupled with the recent gap between the king of Chu and Xiao Rui, there are sufficient reasons for killing people!

This accusation of instigating murder is too low-level, but is it important?Emperor Xia may not believe it, but as long as Xiao Rui can't prove his innocence, he will be suspected of killing his brother. Then there will be rumors, such as Xiao Rui and Princess Li Xiu'er having an adulterous affair, etc. Once the rumors are exaggerated, there will be a great uproar Well, even if Emperor Xia didn't believe it, these rumors were like a cold knife, stabbing fiercely into Xiao Rui's body.

Xiao Feng planned to kill Jia Xu and Guo Jia, abolish Xiao Jing, kill Xiao Yiheng, and wrong Xiao Rui after all this plan!

Of course, there is also the Qi State mission that Xiao Rui doesn't know about yet!

The rings are interlocking, full of swords and blood.

Now that he knew Xiao Feng's trick, he should find a way to dismantle it.

Next, the winter hunting was canceled, and His Majesty returned to the palace, and ordered Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to thoroughly investigate the murder of King Chu.Although His Majesty ordered to block the news of King Chu's murder, how could Xiao Feng not take advantage of public opinion?They had sent people to spread the news secretly, and after everyone returned to the city, the news that King Chu was killed spread like wildfire, and the spearhead was directed at King Xian!

Xiao Rui returned to the palace and was relieved to see that Jia Xu and Guo Jia were safe and sound.

Although he asked Wu Yazi to lead the masters of Yang's organization to prepare in advance, he was still worried that there would be many assassins, and if he hurt the two gentlemen, wouldn't it be regrettable?

And when Jia Xu and Guo Jia heard that Xiao Jing was injured and King Chu was killed, their expressions changed drastically.

"Prince Duan must have a master! Your Highness, Feng Xiao and I made a mistake this time." Jia Xu apologized.

Guo Jia also nodded.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "We guessed that King Duan would have a conspiracy, but we also knew what he would do. It was a mistake but inevitable to fall into his trap this time. I didn't fall into the trap this time, and he would secretly set up other traps. Conspiracy, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. This time I saw his tricks, and then I will have fun with him from now on."

Jia Xu and Guo Jia nodded and smiled.

Then, next, according to Xiao Feng's conspiracy, they have to come and see the tricks.

First of all, Jia Xu and Guo Jia are safe and sound, and the next step is how to clear up their suspicions as soon as possible.

Fortunately in the misfortune, the guard who killed the king of Chu acted as a portrait for the sake of acting. When faced with His Majesty's questioning, he did not directly say that it was Xiao Rui's instigation. It was precisely because of this that His Majesty was so angry that he directly asked Dongchang for interrogation.

Dongchang is directly responsible to His Majesty, no one dares to intervene, so it must be the most appropriate for him to interrogate.

Fortunately, Xiao Rui has a relationship with Wei Zhongxian. This time, Wei Zhongxian had to protect Xiao Rui with all his strength, because Xiao Rui had an accident, and Wei Zhongxian was no better!

At the same time, because the assassin pretended to be a member of the Qi State Mission, after the Emperor Xia returned to the palace and heard about the incident, he immediately ordered people to block the Honglu Courtyard and imprison the Qi State Mission.

This naturally aroused strong protests from the Qi State Mission. Fortunately, Ye Wendao was present, and did not cause any major friction between the two parties.

At this time, in the interrogation room of Dongchang, Wei Zhongxian, who had just taken the position in charge, personally interrogated the guard.

Sure enough, following Dongchang's tricks, the guard finally couldn't hold on, and admitted that he was ordered by King Xian to shoot and kill King Chu secretly!

The guard is a dead man, this time he doesn't want to live, he just wants to complete the task, he thought that if he said it, Wei Zhongxian would tell His Majesty like this, but unfortunately he made a wrong calculation.

Not only him, but even Xiao Feng made a wrong calculation.

Wei Zhongxian showed a cold smile, and said: "You dare to wrong His Highness King Xian, it seems that you are still stubborn, Tian Ergeng, serve him well! Don't kill him, our family has to enter the palace first!"

"Yes!" Tian Ergeng is Xiao Rui's man, and when he heard that this man wronged King Xian, his hands were itchy, and he was ready to use his housekeeping skills to let this man speak the truth.

Wei Zhongxian hurried into the palace and begged to see Hai Dafu.

When Hai Dafu heard Wei Zhongxian's request to see him, he guessed that it was the murder of the King of Chu, so he quickly reported to His Majesty.

Emperor Xia personally summoned Wei Zhongxian, waited for him to enter the palace, and asked, "What's the result of the interrogation?"

Wei Zhongxian knelt respectfully and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the interrogation has some results, but..."

"Speak directly!" Emperor Xia said.

Only then did Wei Zhongxian speak: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the guard admitted that he killed His Highness the King of Chu, but when he was asked who ordered him, he said at first that it was His Highness Duan, and then that it was His Highness King Jing. The torture came again, and this person said that His Highness Xian Wang ordered him, and now he insists that it was His Highness Xian Wang who ordered him... I dare not hide anything, everything is true..."

The smart Wei Zhongxian knew that if he didn't say anything, His Majesty would not believe it, so he dragged everyone into the water!If everyone has a problem, then there is no problem.

Emperor Xia's face darkened, he slapped his palm on the table angrily, and said angrily: "This is unreasonable! Is this playing tricks on me? Besides, have you found out the origin of this person?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, although this person is His Royal Highness Chu's guard, he has only been with His Highness Chu for a few days, so the people in the Chu Palace don't know him. They only know that His Royal Highness brought him back personally, because of his excellent archery skills. , I trust him quite a bit. The servant conjectures that since the King of Chu can bring him back in person and trusts him, the person behind the scenes must be familiar with His Highness the King of Chu... So the servant is conducting an in-depth investigation, but it is a pity that the guard has not been found yet history."

Emperor Xia nodded.

The conflict between Xiao Rui and the king of Chu intensified. How dare the king of Chu trust the guard introduced by Xiao Rui, so it must be introduced by someone familiar with the king of Chu, so the king of Chu kept the guard by his side.This also reflects from the side that Xiao Rui was wronged.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian hesitated for a moment.

"Speak up if you have something to say!" Xia Huang said.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, before the villain entered the palace, I heard that the murder of the King of Chu had been leaked... and the spearhead was directed at His Highness King Xian. I am afraid that if the slaves do not explain it, the discussion will become a turmoil and become uncontrollable. !"

Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes. Not many people knew about King Chu's assassination, and he was ordered to keep his mouth shut to prevent it from being leaked, but now it was leaked out, and the target was directed at King Xian. It seems that someone used this incident to deal with King Xian. ah!

Chapter 407: The Secret Behind Xiao Feng

After Wei Zhongxian met the saint, although he did not defend Xiao Rui, he reminded His Majesty that King Xian was innocent. In addition, Emperor Xia did not believe that Xiao Rui would kill him, which cleared Xiao Rui's suspicion.

So who is behind the scenes?

Emperor Xia had his own suspicions, and at the same time ordered Dongchang and Jinyiwei to strictly investigate Kyoto.

As for the leaked news about King Chu's death, Emperor Xia didn't make any comments, and Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, so the rumors of wronging King Xian were allowed to spread everywhere.

On the other side, Xiao Rui was not idle yet, he immediately asked Dian Wei and Yang Youji to help Wu Zhanfa, broke into Sui Guogong's mansion, and rescued Li Xiu'er.And they kept their mouths alive. After torture and interrogation, they learned that they were not sent by Xiao Feng, but the confidantes cultivated by the King of Chu. It ended up like this.

Subsequently, the living mouth was silenced and the corpse was cleaned up.

Li Xiu'er was frightened, and now the situation is special, Xiao Rui did not go to see her, but sent her back to Chu Palace as if nothing happened.

At the same time, Wei Zhongxian, who was out of the palace, also sent his confidant Tian Ergeng to report the details to Xiao Rui. After hearing this, Xiao Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

His Majesty does not believe that it is his own killer, then more than half of this trouble has been avoided, the next thing is to see how the disaster will move eastward, to clear his innocence, it would be better if Xiao Feng can be implicated.

At the same time, Guo Jia asked Yang Youji, and also asked important clues.

When Yang Youji went to Lanling Mansion, he not only met Xiao Qingqing, but also Xiao Qingqing's personal maid!It was also through her that she could meet Xiao Qingqing.

At this time, in the living room, the three discussed countermeasures.

Guo Jiadao: "Your Highness, it seems that the maidservant next to Princess Lanling is a spy, and it is likely arranged by King Ruyang!"
