After a tragic death and rebirth, I became the regent's favorite

"Oh?"

Xiao Linchuan raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, "How does Lord Wei know that I am just talking nonsense? Your Majesty is here. Even if I want to fool you, I dare not do it in front of your Majesty. Therefore, I came with witnesses and evidence."

"you!"

Wei Lin staggered back, and it was not known whether his legs were weak or he did not stand firmly when he backed up, but he suddenly sat down on the ground, looking as if he was in imminent danger.

But as soon as he sat down, he seemed to realize something, and immediately stood up and shouted at Xiao Linchuan, "I don't know how I have offended Your Highness, and you want to slander me with such a false accusation!"

"Whether it is slander or not, Lord Wei knows it very well."

Xiao Linchuan seemed to be not used to Wei Lin's arrogant attitude. His originally smiling face suddenly darkened, "Chonglou!"

"My subordinate is here."

Chonglou's voice came from far away, and a burst of hurried footsteps sounded. People in the hall turned their heads to look, and Chonglou walked into the hall with a few people.

"See Your Majesty."

Emperor Mingzhen knew Chonglou, and when he saw him appear, he knew that his brother was serious.

"Get up. I heard that your master asked you to bring evidence and witnesses?"

Chonglou turned sideways and revealed the few people who were originally blocking behind him in front of everyone. This almost scared Wei Lin to death. His eyes widened and he looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"Master Wei, long time no see!"

The man gnashed his teeth and approached Wei Lin step by step, forcing him to press against the pillar in the corner. The man lifted the hat on his head, revealing a bumpy face.

"Ho..."

Everyone present gasped, obviously frightened by that face.

Especially Wei Lin, he swallowed hard, almost didn't dare to look at the man's face, his voice was tinged with pleading, "It's not me, don't come to me!"

"Master Wei, you can be afraid sometimes. Look at me, look at my face. When your Wei family killed people to silence them, you even burned my whole family to death. Did you ever think that one day I would come back?"

The man grabbed Wei Lin's collar and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Lord Wei is willing to sacrifice everything for his son, but he wants to use someone else's son as a sacrifice. Lord Wei is really calculating!"

"Chonglou, His Majesty is here, you should quickly tell the truth, so that I won't be misunderstood and find trouble for no reason!"

Xiao Linchuan spoke coldly, folding his arms across his chest in a leisurely manner, "I cannot bear this kind of anger."

"Yes!"

Xiao Linchuan had spoken, so they naturally didn't want their master to be so angry. Chonglou walked over and lifted the man up by the scruff of his neck, "Let's do business first!"

"Yes Yes!"

The man was not angry at Chonglou's treatment, but was respectful instead. It was not that he was afraid, but rather he was truly respectful.

"Royal brother, what are you doing? I don't understand."

Emperor Mingzhen had a solemn expression on his face. Normally, he would allow his younger brother to act recklessly, but he had to stop in the court.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Your Highness the Regent is my great benefactor. If it weren't for Your Highness, my family of six would have died long ago!"

"Who are you anyway?"

Emperor Mingzhen narrowed his eyes and looked at the man lying on the ground in front of him with a completely disfigured face.

"I was originally Liu Si, a servant of Lord Wei. Three years ago, Lord Wei killed the eldest son of Marquis Huai'an in Bright Moon Tower. It happened that a refugee broke into the tower that day and was caught by Lord Wei to take the blame."

Liu Si's voice echoed in the hall, and everyone in the court fell silent.

Wei Lin looked completely exhausted, and he probably knew he couldn't survive this, but he still stubbornly retorted.

"Liu Si, you are talking nonsense. It was you who stole in the mansion and was kicked out by the housekeeper. As for those injuries on your body, who knows where they came from!"

Liu Si didn't expect that Wei Lin would bite him back at this time. He was furious.

"Wei Lin, you beast, your son is worse than a beast. The eldest son of the Marquis of Huai'an didn't try to snatch the courtesan that day. He tried to save her because your son raped the courtesan and tried to strangle her to death!"

"You are slandering me, what evidence do you have?"

Wei Lin was trembling. Liu Si talked more and more. From the corner of his eye he saw that Emperor Ming Yu's face was getting darker and darker. He couldn't help but look towards Shen Lingfeng.

Shen Lingfeng knew that Wei Lin could not be saved at all, so the best plan now was to get himself out as soon as possible. He simply stood there pretending to be stupid and not saying a word.

"The evidence is this jade pendant. Lord Wei, your butler has been looking for it for a long time but couldn't find it? You were afraid that more people would know about Wei Mingbo's crimes, so you even asked your butler to do something like setting the fire. But you didn't expect that he would drop the jade pendant in a moment of distraction. What you didn't expect was that the fire didn't burn me to death!"

Liu Si took out the jade pendant from his arms and held it in front of Wei Lin. The big "Wei" character on it was like a knife, piercing straight into Wei Lin's eyes.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Wei Lin collapsed to the ground. At this point, there was nothing that the people in the hall didn't understand. They were just afraid that what this person said was the truth.

Emperor Mingzhen's face was gloomy and dark, and he was so angry that he almost jumped up from the dragon throne, "Wei Lin! You are really my beloved minister!"

"Your Majesty, that's not the case. I am innocent. I am innocent!"

When Wei Lin heard what Emperor Mingzhen said, he felt chilled from head to toe. He knew that no matter how he explained, Emperor Mingzhen had already determined his guilt in his heart.

"Your Majesty can send the Royal Guards to investigate whether it is an injustice. I will also hand over all the witnesses and evidence I find."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Xiao Linchuan simply said to Emperor Mingzhen, "Since there is nothing for me to do here, I will take my leave!"

"Royal brother, today's matter is all thanks to you, otherwise I would not have known that there would be such a bold and reckless person in the court."

Emperor Ming Zhen's tone was filled with anger, but he did not mention a word about how Huai'an Marquis had just begged for justice.

Xiao Linchuan raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and glanced at the Huai'an Marquis who was beside him with a sad face, and said to Emperor Mingzhen, "Your Majesty, since there are doubts about what happened back then, why not reopen the case and give justice to the Huai'an Marquis' family."

"This is natural."

Emperor Mingzhen nodded, looked at the Marquis of Huai'an beside Xiao Linchuan, and said comfortingly, "I will give you an explanation for this matter."

Marquis Huaian had long been extremely disappointed with Emperor Ming Zhen. If it weren't for Xiao Linchuan, his unjust case would probably never have been retried.

However, he still had to show proper courtesy. He knelt heavily on the throne and thanked loudly, "I thank your Majesty for your grace. Long live the emperor!"

These words sounded like thanks, but somehow they gave off a sense of sarcasm. Emperor Mingzhen's face did not look very good after hearing them.

But he couldn't lose his temper at this moment. Today's morning court was so chaotic, he was in no mood to continue, and signaled the eunuch beside him to dismiss the court.

"Retreat!"
