As Pei Lun presented the crimes that he had prepared in advance to the Emperor, Xu Xianchun's fate was no longer in doubt.
Taking bribes and bending the law!
Disrupting the court!
Traitorous!
He intended to rebel!
The four major crimes were listed one by one, and every one of them had conclusive evidence…As Wei Zhongxian's godson, one of the Five Tigers of the Ming Dynasty, and the boss of the Jinyiwei's North Town Fu Division, did Xu Xianchun need to be sneaky when he took bribes and framed Zhongliang?
Therefore, almost everyone in the Embroidered Uniform Guards knew about these things.
Pei Lun did a little investigation and found all kinds of evidence!
Regardless of whether it was true or false, it definitely made one's hair stand on end. It was a sinful and unpardonable crime!
For the first two crimes, the Emperor could give Wei Zhongxian face and let him off lightly. However, colluding with the Japanese and attempting to assassinate him undoubtedly angered the Emperor and made him want to kill him!
This was a capital offense!
With the assassin, Princess Li Xiu, who had just been caught, testifying on the spot, the Emperor had never thought that Xu Xianchun was wrongly accused!!
"Xu Xianchun, you…"
He slammed the table and stood up. He glared at Xu Xianchun and roared angrily,"As the Imperial Guard's North Town Commissioner, I have entrusted you with an important task. Yet, you are eating the salary of the Imperial Court while colluding with Japan, trying to rebel against me?!”
"I think you're really blinded by money!”
"All these years, Zhen has rewarded you and you have embezzled. Is it enough to fill up your mansion? You're not even satisfied with this and you dare to accept the money from the East Ocean King? Could it be that in your eyes, I, the ruler of the Heavenly Dynasty, am inferior to the Emperor of a small country?!”
"Do you really think that I'm a fatuous ruler who can deceive you unscrupulously?!!”
Under the attack of anger, the Emperor's slightly pale face showed a strange blush, making him look indescribably haggard and weak, as if he would be blown by the wind at any moment.
As soon as these words spread, Wei Zhongxian, who was about to plead for mercy for Xu Xianchun, trembled violently. His eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of ruthlessness!
The words that were about to come out of his mouth were forcefully swallowed back down.
Cao Zhengchun and Liu Xi were the same.
They were all old foxes who had served the Emperor for many years. Naturally, they could hear the extreme anger in the Emperor's words. At this moment, how could they dare to plead for mercy on behalf of Xu Xianchun? Most importantly, from the meaning of the Emperor's words, it was clear that he had long known about Xu Xianchun's corruption and wealth!
Then, was the Emperor really angry?
Or would he use this matter to fly into a rage and strike at the East Hall's forces?
For the people of the East Hall, there was a huge difference between the two!
Regardless of whether it was the former or the latter, Xu Xianchun's life was beyond saving!
Abandoning the chariot to protect the commander and not implicating him was the most correct choice!!
"As expected, what Milord said is absolutely correct. Although these eunuchs seem to have monstrous power, they are ultimately dogs raised by the Emperor. All of their power comes from the Emperor. As long as the Emperor is furious, they won't even dare to plead for mercy on Xu Xianchun's behalf!”
Jiang Yuyan, who had been standing beside Ling Chen, looked around and saw everyone's expressions. She couldn't help but smile coldly,"Not only that, but they also want to help Milord and send Xu Xianchun to eternal damnation as quickly as possible!!”
"Because the sooner Xu Xianchun dies, the sooner they won't be implicated!!”
As she thought about this, she subconsciously looked at Ling Chen, her eyes shining with a light that was almost as devout as faith." People's hearts are complicated. These powerful officials in the court all have hearts as heavy as the sea, but they are all under Sir's control..."
"Jiang Yuyan, you have to work a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times harder to be qualified to stand by Milord's side!”
Xu Xianchun was already peeing his pants.
"Emperor, this subject is wronged…"
He collapsed to the ground and kept kowtowing.""All of this is because that Ling has wronged me. This Princess Li Xiu is clearly his accomplice, colluding with him to frame this lowly official!!”
"Nonsense!"
Princess Yun Luo was furious." After Ling Chen captured Princess Li Xiu, he has been with me the entire time. He has never left. Where did he find the time to collude with her?"”
As she spoke, she grabbed the Empress Dowager's arm and said,""Mother, this damned traitor dares to frame a good person even when he is about to die. He deserves to die ten thousand times. In Yun Luo's opinion, he should be executed by Imperial Brother as a warning to others!!”
A good person?
Xu Xianchun almost went crazy.
His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Ling Chen, his expression as malevolent as a demon's, This person killed without using a knife, framed, distorted black and white, and played everyone, including the emperor, in the palm of his hand. He was actually a good person?!
Was there a funnier joke in the world than this?？
"Yun Luo is right. Anyone who intends to harm my son must not be merciful even if they have to be cut into pieces!”
The Empress Dowager's words completely sealed today's events. Not only that, she also looked at Ling Chen and said,"Ling Qianhu, you have to find out the truth about Xu Xianchun colluding with the Japanese! Just how many people are behind the scenes betraying the country and Great Ming, find them all, don't let a single one off!”
The Emperor heard this and nodded.”
His words were like a thunderclap, shaking everyone present.
Xu Xianchun's face turned pale.
"Godfather, please help me beg the emperor…"
He looked at Wei Zhongxian with his last glimmer of hope, but in the next moment, he fell into complete despair. Wei Zhongxian did not even look at him. Instead, he looked away.
Not only that, he even bowed to the Emperor and said,""Emperor, Xu Xianchun was promoted by this old servant. Now that he has lost the emperor's grace and committed such a heinous crime, this old servant cannot escape responsibility. I am willing to accept any punishment from the emperor. As long as it doesn't implicate my family, this old servant has no regrets!”
Hearing this, Xu Xianchun's body trembled violently, and his pupils widened.
Then, his eyes dimmed completely.
Of course, he understood what Wei Zhongxian meant. Confess your crimes honestly, and you can still think of ways to protect your family. If you dare to randomly climb up and bite, your relatives, children, and family will go to hell with you.
Abandon the soldiers to protect the chariot!
Xu Xianchun was in complete despair.
The East Chamber didn't plead for him, and the West Chamber wouldn't help him either. It was already good enough that Yan Song didn't kick him when he was down. The only fair and wise Iron Gut Divine Marquis didn't even ask the Emperor to investigate before convicting him!
On the contrary, at this moment, he heard the voice of Ironguts Deity Marquis,"" Reporting to the Emperor, I think Princess Yunluo's words are reasonable. Ling Qianhu has made great contributions this time. A mere Jinyiwei Qianhu is not enough to reward him. He should be given a title..."
"Take charge of the post of Northern Town Governor!"
As soon as he said this, an extremely mournful howl suddenly came from the state guesthouse!
Right in charge of the North Town Fu Department?
Ironguts was actually speaking up for this person?!
He even suggested to the emperor to let this person take over his position?!
I'm not dead yet!
Xu Xianchun's eyes were about to split open, and he suddenly snapped out of his daze, staring at Ling Chen like a demon,"Ling, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost!!!”
As he roared, he seemed to use all of his strength to pull out the Embroidered Spring Blade that he had not used in a long time. However, he did not attack Ling Chen, but instead charged towards the encirclement.
He actually wanted to escape!
What made him extremely happy was that none of Ling Chen's 100 Embroidered Uniform Guards, including Ba Dao, Pei Lun, Tian Boguang, and Azure Dragon, dared to stop him. Instead, they just watched as he escaped.
Could it be that these people were once in the North Town's Ministry of Justice, so they still remembered their old relationship and let me off?
This thought unconsciously appeared in his mind. In just a few breaths of time, Xu Xianchun had already run far away.
He was about to leave the inner court.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the Emperor's voice.""Ling Qianhu, Xu Xianchun has escaped. Why aren't your Embroidered Uniform Guards chasing after him?”
Ling Chen smiled.
"Don't worry, Emperor. Under Xiu Chun's blade, there are only dead people.”
Dead people?
Who was the dead?
Xu Xianchun had already stepped out of the courtyard with one foot. Before he could think about this question, he suddenly saw two leg-like things sweeping past him and running far ahead.
The top of the two legs was bloody to the extreme. It looked like a human waist.
Wait a minute!
"That looks like my leg?”
With that final thought, Xu Xianchun's upper body fell to the ground with a loud thud.
The light in its eyes quickly dimmed, but it still seemed to be staring at Ling Chen with a trace of grief and indignation.
So when you kill, you kill the heart!
He also used a saber!
