The next morning, Wang Zijun went to court with Kang Xi.
The two of them couldn't help but hold back their laughter when they saw Ao Bai's charred head.
"What's wrong with Ao Shao Bao?" Kang Xi asked deliberately. Why are you in such a sorry state?"
Wang Zijun couldn't hold it in anymore and quickly added,"Emperor, I saw that Lord Ao's face was black and his hair was burnt. He was probably warming himself at home last night and accidentally lost his fire.”
"Impudent! How can a eunuch like you have the right to speak in the Imperial Court? Your Majesty, this eunuch Xiao Guizi is so contemptuous of the court, he should be beaten to death immediately.”roared Oboi.
"Aiyoyo, f ** k me, I'm actually like a mad dog. Want to bite me? I'll teach you a lesson. Old Turtle Ao, just you wait!”Wang Zijun cursed in his heart.
"Eunuch Gui is my trusted brother," Kang Xi immediately said."What he said is what I want to ask."”
The emperor's words were very clear. This eunuch is my man. If he laughs at you, it means that I am laughing at you. What can you do?
The ministers below were all shrewd people. How could they not understand the truth?
Ao Bai's political rival Duo Long immediately came out to flatter him,"I think Young Guardian Ao, you're the one who's shouting in court. Eunuch Gui is someone who works for His Majesty, how can you reprimand him? If you want to punish him, it's up to His Majesty."
In The Deer and the Cauldron, Duo Long was Wei Xiaobao's deputy. Wang Zijun's impression of Duo Long instantly increased. It seemed that if he had the chance to make a fortune in the future, he would definitely bring this brother along.
At this time, the civil official Suo Ertu also came out to speak. Generally speaking, eunuchs were the emperor's retainers and the emperor's own people should have the final say.
This Soetu was Soni's son, the uncle of his wife, the little empress. He could be considered a relative, so he had a good impression of Soetu at this moment.
"You guys? Humph!" Ao Bai was very afraid of the two of them, so he could only suppress his anger.
How could Oboi not have political enemies in court? If not, he would have covered the sky with one hand and might have taken the throne.
Duo Long was the head of the imperial guards, and his martial arts skills were quite good. Although he could not compare to Oboi, he was not far off. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sit in the important position of protecting the emperor. In terms of martial strength, he was the person that Ao Bai hated the most. Soni's party was also an elder and had quite a reputation among the civil servants.
It was these civil officials and generals who kept him in check, so that Oboi did not dare to go too far. He had to be reasonable in everything to monopolize power.
Ao Bai was extremely cunning. He suddenly knelt down and cried,"Emperor, you must uphold justice for this lowly official? The reason why I am in such a sorry state is because of the traitor Suksaha. Yesterday, I tried my best to prove Suksaha's crimes, but who knew that I would be retaliated by his henchmen at night. Last night, I was thinking about the long-term plan for the country at home. Who knew that a group of killers suddenly came. They were very skilled in martial arts. Fortunately, I still had my sword, or I wouldn't have been able to see Your Majesty. Wuwuwuwu."
Unexpectedly, Ao Bai had this trick up his sleeve. This old traitor was so cunning. Wang Zijun and Kang Xi looked at each other.
Kang Xi could only ask back,"It's fortunate that Junior Guardian is fine." However, how did Ao Shaobao know that Sukesaha was the one who instructed him?”
Ao Bai must have been prepared, so he quickly said,"When that group of people saw that they couldn't take my head, they turned around and ran. Who knew that they would actually throw two cannonballs at him. He immediately blew up my house and killed countless family members. I was only able to survive because of the Golden Bell Shield. However, it was inevitable that his face would be charred and his hair would be burnt. My body, hair, and skin are inherited from my parents. Your Majesty, you have to stand up for this old minister?”
Kang Xi frowned." I'm asking you for evidence. Evidence against Suksaha?"”
Ao Bai wasn't in a hurry. Instead, a sinister smile appeared on his face. When Wang Zijun saw this, he thought to himself that this was not good.
As expected, Ao Bai continued," The enemy didn't expect my Golden Bell Shield to be so powerful that it could withstand the power of a cannonball. In a moment of carelessness, I took down a killer." This person had already pleaded guilty, saying that Suksaha was the instigator.”
"F * ck, that old bastard Ao Bai is indeed a great traitor. Not only is his martial strength extraordinary, but his intelligence is also extraordinary.”Wang Zijun cursed in his heart.
Kang Xi had already been let in by Oboi, who said he wanted to be interrogated in court.
A moment later, Ao Bai ordered the killers to be brought. When the officials saw this person, they could not help but turn pale with fright. Wang Zijun did not know the details and quickly asked Kang Xi secretly. Kang Xi did not know either.
"This man is called Wang Weidong, the chief guard of the Suksaha family," Xiao Chunzi whispered.”
"So it's the Suksaha family's dog. F * ck, I know. I know what Oboi is up to. He must have bribed Suksaha's slave, Wang Weidong, and used last night's incident as a pretext to kill someone else.”Wang Zijun whispered into Kangxi's ear.
As expected, the person quickly kowtowed to Kang Xi and said,""Your servant Wang Weidong pays his respects to Your Majesty.”
"Are you Suksaha's slave?" Kang Xi asked.”
"Your Majesty, I am Suksaha's servant. He was the chief guard of the old thief Suksaha's house. Last night, I led a team of Sukesaha family guards to the Ao family's residence, wanting to kill them and save the family head's life.”Wang Weidong said firmly.
"You audacious dog slave, you actually dare to deceive me. Men, drag this bastard down and immediately execute him by a thousand cuts.”Kang Xi said angrily.
Last night, he and Wang Zijun were clearly the ones who went to mess with Oboi, but this person actually framed Suksaha openly. It was obvious that he was lying to him. Naturally, Kang Xi was furious. The crime of deceiving the sovereign was a heinous crime. It was the most hated act of all emperors. No wonder Kang Xi was furious.
Wang Weidong kneeled on the ground. His body shook and he began to tremble.
"Wait, Emperor, what evidence do you have to say that my witness lied to His Majesty?”Ao Bai quickly jumped out to stop him.
"This, this…" Kang Xi and Wang Zijun looked at each other. There was really no evidence to refute this. Kang Xi couldn't possibly say that Xiao Guizi and I were the ones who threw the bomb last night, right?
Wang Zijun also shook his head gently at Kang Xi.
Kang Xi was indeed a great emperor. He immediately came back to his senses and said," Wang Weidong looks wretched and has a knife hidden behind his smile. I can tell that he is a greedy and lascivious man who betrays his master for glory. That's why I'm a little angry. Since Ao Shaobao said so, then he would not punish this dog slave.”
Kang Xi said it lightly, and the ministers had nothing to say. After all, since ancient times, if the ruler wanted the ministers to die, the ministers had to die. Why did they need a reason? Wang Weidong gasped when he heard that.
Ao Bai was not going to let him off easily. He continued,"Your Majesty, since you can't produce any evidence to deny my witness, how should I deal with Suksaha's actions?”
"Oboi, you are indeed not an easy person.”Wang Zijun sighed to himself.
According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the mastermind of the murder of princes and ministers should be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts, and their clansmen would also be implicated.
Kang Xi saw that he couldn't protect Suksaha, so he said,"Considering that Sukesaha was an important minister of the previous emperor and had outstanding contributions, he was exempted from the torture of being dismembered and was instead sentenced to death by poisoned wine. As for whether his family participated in the murder of Ao Shao Bao, we still need to investigate thoroughly before we can decide.”
Before Oboi could retort, Kang Xi waved his hand."There's no need to say anymore. I've already made up my mind. I'm not feeling well today, so we'll discuss it another day.”With that, he turned around and left, leaving the officials staring at each other.
Before he left, Wang Zijun glared at Wang Weidong, who was on the ground."Humph! You f * cker, you actually dare to help the traitor Ao do things. I won't let you die without a burial place.”
