In front of the Sima Gate.
Countless officials stopped and stared.
Everyone's eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness.
Xiao Bei was clearly in Xuchang. Why would he leave at the same time as Xiahou Dun's first battalion?
"He went out?"
Xun Yu was secretly shocked.
Chen Qun, Zhong Yao, and Du Xi looked at each other, wondering if the court would be peaceful today.
Especially Zhong and Du, they felt that Xuchang was even more terrifying than Jingzhou.
"Let's go to court!"
Xun Yu tidied his clothes and stepped into the Sima Gate.
Since things had come to this, they might as well stand in the temple and wait for things to happen.
"Boom!"
iron hooves galloped on the wide road.
Xiahou Dun and Zhang Liao led five hundred cavalry to escort the three carriages into the city.
Cao Ren and Cao Hong stood at the side of the temporary camp and said respectfully,""Greetings, Mister!"
"Let's go to court!"
Xiao Bei's voice came from the carriage.
"Here!"
The two of them said respectfully.
Not long after, countless people gathered from all directions.
There were Yang Biao, Yang Xiu, and the others who had been detained by Xuchang's attendants. There were also Cao Ang and Xu Chu who had walked out of Sikong Manor. There were also Dian Wei and the Tiger Guards carrying Wang Yue and Shi Ah's coffins.
There are many people in all directions.
They gathered in front of Sima Gate.
Yang Biao's gaze was fixed on the carriage, as if he wanted to see if Xiao Bei was inside.
"Enter the palace!"
Xiao Bei said indifferently.
Cao Hong's gaze swept across the group of guards and said in a deep voice,""The Marquis of Beishou has entered the court to present his victory.”
"Swoosh!"
The guard turned to look to the side.
Seeing this, Dian Wei grinned.”
"Here!"
The hundred guards opened the Sima Gate.
A wide road that could accommodate five carriages led directly to Chengguang Hall, which was also the temple where the three dukes and nine ministers discussed matters with the emperor.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The army entered the palace.
The vast crowd immediately attracted the attention of all the officials.
The moment Dong Cheng and Fu Wan saw Xiao Bei's carriage, their entire bodies went weak.
Xiao Bei was alive.
That meant that Wang Yue had already failed.
However, when the Tiger Guards carried the two coffins into the palace, they angered everyone!
"Impudent!"
"Rampant!"
"How can the royal court be an important place?”
Countless officials glared at Dian Wei and the Tiger Guards.
"Sour scholar!"
Dian Wei muttered in a low voice.
Xu Chu leaned forward and asked,"Old Dian, when did you come back?"”
"A few days!"
Dian Wei hummed,"Don't whisper to each other in the palace. Wait until Little Mister has settled the matter, then you and I will talk!"”
"Good!"
Xu Chu looked at the carriage.
The stone that had been lifted in his heart was finally lifted.
"Pa da!"
Xiao Bei walked out of the carriage.
His armor was as white as new, without a speck of dust.
"Xiao Bei!"
"He's actually fine!"
Yang Biao, Fu Wan, and Dong Cheng knew about it, but they were still shocked.
Xiao Bei walked down the carriage shaft and swept his gaze across the group of officials. He said with a faint smile,"I don't have an official position, but I was ordered by Sikong to pacify Yingchuan. Today, I have won and will report my achievements to the emperor.”
"No!"
All the officials lowered their heads in grievance.
When Cao Cao entered the court, they had to lower their heads.
Now, with Xiao Bei entering the court, they still had to lower their heads.
The Great Han Dynasty did not know when it started, but they, the officials, had to bow down to people other than the emperor.
"All officials, enter the hall!"
A small yellow man stood in front of Chengguang Palace and shouted at the top of his lungs.
With Fu Wan, Dong Cheng, and the others as the leaders, no one dared to take a step forward.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Bei glanced at everyone and said.
Xun Yu took a deep breath and walked towards the temple.
Behind him were the subordinates of Sikong Manor, such as Xuchang Magistrate Chen Qun, Counselor Zhong Yao, Changshui Lieutenant Du Xi, and others.
Seeing this scene, Fu Wan, Dong Cheng, and the others stepped into the temple.
Above the throne of the Son of Heaven.
Liu Xie looked at the officials who had yet to bow with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Cao Cao was out on a campaign, and the court affairs continued. However, most of the time, it was Xun Yu who was in charge of the various court affairs. However, the matter of salutations would not be reduced. But now, these officials seemed to be waiting for something!
"Pa da!"
"Pa da!"
"Pa da!"
Xiao Bei was dressed in military attire and stepped into Cheng Guang Hall with his sword.
"Xiao Xinzhi!"
Liu Xie's heart sank.
Xiao Bei's survival meant that Wang Yue had failed.
All the officials wailed in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do.
Ever since Emperor Ling of Han died in Jiade Palace, only Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao could enter the palace with swords and shoes. Today, there was another person.
"Da!"
Xiao Bei stood in the center of the hall and said in a low voice,"From Xiao Bei of the Rong Manor, I was ordered by Sikong to pacify the Yingchuan Yellow Turbans. It has been more than three months. Today, I will return to the court to present my victory.”
"Announce!"
Liu Xie said with a gloomy expression.
The Little Yellow Sect stood on the left and right of the Dragon Platform and shouted,"Summon Xiahou Yuanrang and Zhang Wenyuan from the first battalion to the court!”
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Xiahou Dun and Zhang Liao withdrew their swords and armor to attend the court.
They were not Xiao Bei, nor were they Cao Cao. They did not have the qualifications or courage to go to the palace.
"Right!"
Xiao Bei suddenly said,"When I entered the city, I heard from the commander of the third camp that someone poisoned the Xiao residence when I was on the expedition. Moreover, according to the prisoner interrogation system, it has been submitted to the imperial court for investigation. Do you know about this matter?"”
"Yes, sir!"
Xun Yu stepped forward and respectfully said,"Your Majesty, the matter of poisoning the Xiao family should be decided today!"”
"Announce!"
Liu Xie replied mechanically.
Ever since he arrived at Xuchang, from Cao Cao to Xun Yu, and then to Xiao Bei.
He could only feel a trace of the emperor's dignity when Xun Yu was in charge. The rest were just tools.
Not long after!
Under the gazes of all the officials.
Yang Biao, Yang Xiu, Fu De, Zhong Ji, Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan, Wu Shuo, and the others were detained.
"Xiao Xinzhi!"
"Pretend to be me!"
"You clearly returned to court a long time ago!"
Yang Biao, Yang Xiu, Zhong Ji, and the others roared.
Xiao Bei turned to look at everyone and said with a faint smile,"Everyone, I am indeed returning to the army today. I have always been conscientious and conscientious, and I have never offended you from the Rong Mansion. However, you actually poisoned the grain seeds that yield an astonishing yield per mu. Do you know that once the grain seeds are replanted, there will be no more famine in Yanzhou in three years, and no one in the Great Han Dynasty will be hungry in ten years?”
"Me!"
Everyone's faces turned pale.
Poisoning was a fact, and no one could get away with it.
Cao Pi's expression was haggard. He looked up at Xiao Bei and said,"Sir, I was framed by Yang Dezu. This matter really has nothing to do with me!”
"Shang Shu Ling?"
Xiao Bei called out with a deep gaze.
Xun Yu picked up the silk book from the side and was about to read out all the crimes.
"Your Majesty!"
"Shang Shu Ling!"
Chen Qun stepped out from the side and said respectfully: "Two days ago, an assassin charged into the residence of the Marquis of Beishou and was killed by the commander of the guards, General Dian. These two days, I have been patrolling and learned that these two people are the former Tiger General Wang Yue and his disciple Shi A!”
"Yes!"
Xun Yu frowned.
The situation seemed to be out of his control.
Moreover, Xiao Bei and Chen Qun had never discussed this matter with him!
"Dead?"
Liu Xie suddenly stood up and said.
Chen Qun nodded and said respectfully,"I've already arranged for General Dian to bring the assassins and weapons to court!"”
"Gulp!"
Liu Xie gulped.
Dong Cheng and Fu Wan were also drenched in cold sweat.
When Wang Yue left the palace, he held the Zhongxing Sword in his hand.
If they were discovered after going to court, all the officials would know that Liu Xie had sent people to assassinate Xiao Bei.
It didn't matter if everyone knew about it in the dark, but it couldn't be said openly.
This was because Xiao Bei was the hero who pacified Yingchuan, and Liu Xie was the emperor of the Great Han Dynasty.
It was not a small matter for the emperor to kill meritorious officials in the prosperous world, let alone in this chaotic world. Moreover, who knew how many people would end up in the era of the Han Dynasty and destroy the passion of all those loyal to the Han Dynasty!
"Please!"
"Let them enter the court!"
Xiao Bei said indifferently,"I've only been on the expedition for a few months, but there are actually countless ghosts and monsters attacking the manor gate. I want to see what the so-called assassins look like today!"”
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Dian Wei brought eight guards and carried two coffins into the court.
"Xiao Bei!"
"You're too impudent!"
Dong Cheng suddenly stood up and shouted coldly," There's an assassin. Just investigate outside. How dare you bring Wu Xing into the court meeting hall!"”
"Da!"
"Da!"
"Da!"
Xiao Bei knocked on the Hanshi Sword and said indifferently,"Today was supposed to be a joyous day for the victory, but the two coffins ruined the atmosphere. However, I have just pacified Yingchuan. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard. Don't you want to know who sent them to attack Xiao Manor?”
"Phew!"
Dong Cheng's aura was completely gone.
Not only did he know what the weapon was, but he also knew who sent it.
However, could he let Xiao Bei remove the last cover of the Han royal family in court?
"Crash!"
Xiao Bei took out a wooden tray from the coffin.
The wooden tray was filled with the fragments of the Zhongxing Sword, and the hilt of the sword was facing Liu Xie.
"Crack!"
Fu Wan gritted his teeth.
Dong Cheng, Dong Zhao, and the others were also extremely aggrieved.
Xiao Bei placed the wooden plate in Xun Yu's hand and took the silk book.
"Resurrection!"
Xun Yu looked at the sword hilt.
His entire face was pale. How could he not know what kind of weapon the fragment was?
The Zhongxing Sword was one of the artifacts that represented Liu Hong's great ambitions. Unfortunately, it became a joke in the end.
Now, this sword was shattered, and it was shattered in Wang Yue's hands!
"Poisonous bird poison!"
Xiao Bei opened the silk book and smiled."What a genius. However, Cao Pi is the second son of Sikong Manor. How could he participate in this? This crime is the crime of extermination. Do you have any witnesses to refute it?"”
"Sir!"
"I'm innocent!"
Cao Pi's body trembled as he roared.
At the age of eight or nine, he had suffered a crime that he could not bear.
"Pa da!"
Fu De walked out from the crowd and swept his gaze across Fu Wan, Dong Cheng, and the lofty Han Emperor Liu Xie. He said hoarsely,""Your Majesty, Shangshu Ling, Beishou Marquis, this minister has something important to report!”
"Speak!"
Xiao Bei said indifferently.
Fu De pursed his dry lips and said bitterly,"Yang Biao and Dong Cheng were the masterminds of this matter, assisted by Yang Xiu and Zhong Ji. I once listened to their discussion. When Noble Consort Dong was visiting her relatives, I stole the Zhongxing Sword from the palace and bribed the former Tiger General Wang Yue and his sword disciple Shi Ah to assassinate the Marquis of Beishou. I have servants outside the city as witnesses. I know that I can't escape death today, but I only hope that I don't implicate Madam Fu!”
"Fu De!"
Fu Wan's expression changed drastically.
Dong Cheng's face was ashen.
Xiao Bei glanced at Chen Qun and said indifferently,"Xu Chang Ling, do you have any witnesses that Fu De mentioned?”
"Yesterday, someone knocked on the door of the Xuchang magistrate's manor and took out a certificate to prove himself. He even vouched for Fu De!" Chen Qun said respectfully.”
"Crazy!"
"You're really crazy!"
Xun Yu's gaze landed on Xiao Bei.
Today, he was no longer just calling a deer a horse.
Instead, he raised his sharp sword and swung it at the Han royal family.
"We're finished!"
Yang Biao, Yang Xiu, and the others blacked out.
They had no choice but to bear the blame.
Because they could die, but they could not disgrace the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and they could not let the people of the world be alienated from the Han royal family.
"Haha!"
Xiao Bei turned to look at Dong Cheng and said with a faint smile,"General Che Ji, Fu De's words are true. If there is any injustice, even if I have to risk my achievements in pacifying Yingchuan, I will clear your name!”
"It's true!"
Dong Cheng stepped forward and said with a sorrowful smile," Everything was planned by Yang Biao and me. Yang Biao was in charge of bribing the person who poisoned the Xiao Mansion. I was in charge of letting Noble Dong steal the Zhongxing Sword and ask Wang Yue to help. He is known as the Great Han Sword Saint, so the Emperor Sword is naturally the best salary!”
"Shang Shu Ling!"
Xiao Bei's gaze was indifferent as he said,"According to the law, how should we sentence them?"”
"Dong Cheng, Yang Biao is the mastermind.”
"Zhong Ji, Wu Shuo, Wang Zifu, and Wu Zilan will be exterminated!”
"Noble Dong is guilty of stealing the sword. According to the law, all titles will be removed, and all noble rules will be removed.”
"Fu De's recommendation was meritorious, and he even found the person who stole the sword and the mastermind behind the attack on the Beishou Manor. His merits and demerits offset each other, and he was exiled for three thousand miles and never allowed to return to Xuchang.”
Xun Yu stared at Xiao Bei and said word by word.
"Your Majesty, please make a decision!"
Xiao Bei raised his head and looked at Liu Xie.
"Correct!"
Liu Xie's voice was trembling.
This was the best judgment. Completely tearing apart the curtain would only cause the reputation of the Han Dynasty to be ruined and all the officials in the court to be killed.
This was because Dong Cheng was not holding the Zhongxing Sword. Instead, he was holding an imperial edict that was to be sent to Xu Prefecture. It would allow Cao Cao to wash the court in blood.
"Surrender!"
Dong Cheng knelt on the ground.
His voice was filled with sadness and bitterness.
Yang Biao, Yang Xiu, Zhong Ji, Wu Shuo, Wu Zilan, and Wang Zifu were the same!
"Clang!"
Xiao Bei poured the Zhongxing Sword fragment into Wang Yue's coffin and said indifferently,"Since the two matters are settled, these assassins can be carried away and buried. After all, the dead are the most important. As for the other criminals, I'll have to trouble the Xuchang order to supervise the execution outside the city tomorrow. At that time, the first camp can be mobilized to guard the execution ground to prevent anyone from taking away the prisoners!”
"Here!"
Chen Qun said respectfully.
"Your Majesty!"
Xiao Bei said in a deep voice,"Such a big matter has happened in the residence. I want to return to the residence to take a look first!"”
"Correct!"
Liu Xie said with a complicated expression.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Bei bowed slightly and turned to leave the hall.
"Xiao Xinzhi!"
"You will die a horrible death!"
Dong Cheng rose from the ground brazenly and pounced over with bloodshot eyes.
Yang Biao and Yang Xiu were the same. They charged at Xiao Bei with determination in their grief and indignation.
