The villain is addicted to tease me

On the same day, the news that Xiao Desheng, the Minister of Dali Temple, went mad and murdered the officials of the imperial court when he was arresting the rebellious party spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital. very bad.

As soon as Xiao Desheng woke up, he was brought into the palace by the emperor's order for accountability.

Zheng Lixiao naturally also entered the palace, before entering the imperial study, he met Shan Lie at the door, the two looked at each other calmly, nodded, and passed by.

Zheng Lixiao knew that Zheng Lijie would definitely come as soon as he got the news of Xiao Desheng's accident. At this time, Shan Lie was needed to help him hold him back, and Xiao Desheng couldn't be given any chance to come back.

In the imperial study, the emperor's face was sallow, and he was coughing non-stop while sitting on a chair. Fuquan, the chief eunuch before the imperial eunuch, handed him spittoons and handkerchiefs from time to time.

Xiao Desheng was escorted nearby, his hair was disheveled, and he knelt on the ground in disgrace.

The emperor coughed twice, pointed at him and said angrily: "Xiao Desheng, as the Minister of Dali Temple, you actually killed innocent people, harmed the people, and killed the Shaoqing and guards of Dali Temple while arresting the rebellious party. You should What crime?!"

Xiao Desheng kowtowed and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I'm guilty, I don't know why I had hallucinations at that time, and I couldn't control myself... It may be that the witch of the Wuji Sect gave me some kind of poison, please Your Majesty find out the truth for me. !"

Zheng Lixiao stood up, cupped his hands to the emperor and said, "Father, I heard that this is not the first time Master Xiao has gone mad and killed innocent people. This happened six years ago."

As if bitten by a poisonous snake, Xiao Desheng looked up at Zheng Lixiao with horror in his eyes, "His Royal Highness, don't talk nonsense! As the Minister of Dali Temple, how can you enforce the law and break the law?"

Zheng Lixiao opened his fan and snorted coldly, "Master Xiao, have you forgotten that you once had a concubine named Wen Ji?"

Xiao Desheng's shoulders trembled slightly, obviously he didn't expect to hear this name one day.

Seeing his reaction, Zheng Lixiao smiled, "Master Xiao, remember? The masseur Wen Ji who used to work in the Jinghuachi bathing place was taken home by you, and then you easily killed her to replace her." The corpse named Yuan Min'er."

Xiao Desheng turned pale, "What Yuan Miner, I don't know anything..."

Zheng Lixiao stared at him, "When the so-called Yuan Min'er's body was discovered in Lingbao Temple, there was an uproar. The Yuan family claimed that she was bullied to death by the Jinhu army, but in fact the dead Yuan Min'er was replaced by your concubine Wen Ji.

But the real Yuan Min'er and her family were bought by you, deliberately spreading trouble everywhere, and framing the reputation of Jin Hujun and Yu's family. Later, Yuan's family was burned to death by you in Haitang Villa. "

Hearing the Haitang Villa, the emperor's expression changed obviously, as if thinking about the mutiny between the Qin family and the Jinhu Army in the Haitang Villa, he coughed violently, and Fuquan brought him a cup of tea, stroking his back to calm his breath.

Zheng Lixiao deliberately did not mention the Qin family, so as not to make things more complicated, and only focused on Xiao Desheng.

He is also very clear about his father's face-saving personality. His father will not admit the mistakes he has made. If he insists on forcibly cleansing the Qin family in front of him, his father will only become angry from embarrassment, which will be even more detrimental to them.

Zheng Lixiao stared at Xiao Desheng coldly, "Xiao Desheng, do you really think that all the Yuan family members are dead?"

Xiao Desheng was sweating coldly, and he clenched his fists, "His Royal Highness, I don't know what you are talking about..."

Zheng Lixiao sneered, "Come here, bring the witness in."

His subordinate Dexi immediately brought up a thin young man who looked like a boy under 20 years old. He was Yuan Min'er's younger brother Yuan Lei.

Yuan Lei lowered his head, came over timidly, knelt down on the ground, "Yuan Lei, a grassroots man, kowtows to His Majesty."

When Xiao Desheng saw him, his eyes widened, his face turned pale, his whole body trembled and he almost fell to the ground.

Probably he never imagined that there would be such a fish that slipped through the net in the fire at Haitang Villa six years ago.

Zheng Lixiao caught a glimpse of his reaction, raised the corners of his lips slightly, turned to the emperor and said, "Father, this young man is Yuan Min'er's younger brother. He was only 12 years old when the accident happened six years ago, but he remembered everything that happened back then." Things, I have seen Xiao Desheng come to their family to make a deal, and I still remember the fire in Haitang Villa.

At the beginning, he happened to be visiting the garden and escaped the killers brought by Xiao Desheng. After the fire broke out, Yuan Lei escaped from the dog hole. "

Yuan Lei bowed his head on the ground, "That's right, this is Xiao Desheng. He crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and killed our whole family. I beg Your Majesty to be the master of the grassroots!"

The emperor stood up while leaning on the chair, and pointed at Xiao Desheng angrily, "Xiao Desheng, you are in vain as the Minister of Dali Temple! This is the end, what else do you have to say? Cough cough..."

Fuquan helped the emperor to sit down, "Your Majesty, don't get angry, you have to take care of the dragon body."

"Your Majesty, this matter is very complicated, you can't just listen to one person..."

Xiao Desheng kowtowed and secretly looked outside the door, but his Xin Wang did not appear for a long time.No one speaks for him, and no one protects him.

His cold sweat became more and more wet on his back, but King Xin never appeared.

"What other witness do you want?" Zheng Lixiao approached Xiao Desheng, waved his fan, and stared at him coldly, "Wen Ji's body was stolen back then, and you had no chance to destroy the body, so it happened to be preserved by the ice coffin. Wang found the owner of the Jinghuachi bathing place, and you can ask him to confront you about Wen Ji's identity to see if you have anything to argue about."

"Uh..." Xiao Desheng couldn't speak, the sweat was streaming down his forehead, his strong body kneeling on the ground seemed to shrink into a ball, wishing he could dig a hole and get himself in.

The emperor was not completely confused yet, seeing Xiao Desheng's appearance, he knew that he was guilty, and immediately ordered: "Xiao Desheng has no virtue, commits many evils, disregards human life, deceives his superiors and his inferiors, and is not worthy of serving as Minister of Dali Temple, ahem... I will get rid of him immediately He will be imprisoned for the official position, and he will be executed tomorrow at [-]:[-] noon!"

A smile appeared on Zheng Lixiao's lips, and he cupped his hands in praise: "Father is wise!"

Xiao Desheng's hair was disheveled, he knelt and kowtowed frantically, and said in panic: "No, Your Majesty, please spare me, don't kill me! King Xin, save me!"

Two imperial guards rushed up and dragged Xiao Desheng out without hesitation.

Probably because he was angry. People who are seriously ill are prone to fatigue. The emperor coughed a few times and collapsed on the chair with some weakness. Fuquan hurriedly supported him, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Zheng Lixiao also hurriedly stepped forward to help, and shouted: "Prince doctor! Come and see father!"

Zheng Lixiao and Fuquan sent the emperor back to the bedroom, and the imperial physician rushed over to treat the emperor. At this moment, the letter king, Zheng Lijie, hurried over, followed by Shan Lie and several imperial guards not far behind.

Just outside the imperial study room, Shan Lie stopped the king Xin who was going to rescue Xiao Desheng outside.

He said that he wanted to ask King Xin for a favor. One of his guards from the Imperial Forest Army fell in love with a maid in Prince Xin's mansion, and hoped that King Xin would give him a chance.

Shan Lie has always been reticent and quiet, and it is rare for him to take the initiative to seek trouble. Wang Xin pretended to be a simple and honest man, and he would not forcefully refuse, so the two of them stayed polite for a while.

It wasn't until seeing the guards dragging Xiao Desheng down and yelling "King Xin, save me!" that King Xin panicked.

At this time, the emperor fell ill again, and everyone rushed to the emperor's bedroom.
