Chapter 1201. Does Marquis Xingguo Want to Rebel?

"Your Highness, Jiang is Wei Chen's first wife, and now Ru'er... How could Wei Chen have the heart to divorce her? It's Wei Chen's fault that it has happened to this extent. I hope Your Highness will understand." Shao Jing looked at Jiang with a sad look on his face. Shi's face was filled with reluctance, and he cried sadly to Chu Liuchen, his eyes turning red as he spoke.

Chu Liuchen did not speak, his eyes fell on Shao Jing and Jiang. After a long while, he suddenly asked Jiang: "Jiang, what you said before is true. Marquis Xingguo really wanted to seize this title. Have the prince and Princess Qinghua harmed him?"

Jiang Shi trembled. At this time, she no longer thought about defeating the enemy, her face turned pale in panic, and she involuntarily stepped back behind Shao Jing. The pressure from King Chen in front of her was so great that she couldn't even speak for a while. Unable to say anything: "Your Highness... Your Highness, you are the wife of a minister... you are talking nonsense."

She still has a son, and her son may inherit the Xingguo Hou Mansion. She cannot ruin all of this.

Shao Jing breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Jiang would say such things again and he would be unable to defend himself. Fortunately, Jiang still had some sense and did not continue to mess around.

"Your Majesty, you see...she just couldn't bear it for a while, so she suddenly became obsessed with phlegm. If she rests for a few days and relaxes, nothing will happen. However, the Prince and Princess were shocked. They were all thinking about it. It's my fault." Shao Jing smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand and gently pulled Jiang.

Jiang didn't struggle this time and lowered her head to hide her panic face. She was also scared now.

"This kind of thing can't be said just because it wants to be said. Since Jiang thinks so, then go to the Ministry of Punishment to prepare a case. The matter of the former Xingguo Gong's son is very suspicious!" Chu Liuchen said slowly , there is a bit of unknown meaning in the eyes, the corners of the lips are slightly raised, and the smile does not reach the bottom of the eyes.

"Your Highness, it's just Jiang's phlegm that has confused your mind. You can't take it seriously. I hope Your Highness will hold your hand high." Shao Jing begged, his posture was very low.

"Marquis Xingguo said this a little late. I have just sent someone to notify the Ministry of Punishment." A faint smile appeared in the corners of Chu Liuchen's thin lips.

Xiao Xuanzi said to Shao Jing with a smile: "Marquis Xingguo, our prince has sent people to go just now. This time may be coming. Marquis Xingguo should prepare for it, lest the people from the Ministry of Punishment ask questions and don't know anything!"

Shao Jing stumbled and almost fell down. His face turned blue and white for a while. Even though he had been in the officialdom for so many years, he had never seen the sick King Chen be so difficult to deal with. This was just a small matter. , why did it really come to the Ministry of Punishment? Should the people in the Ministry of Punishment be too busy to care about such a trivial matter?

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice is a just and majestic place. You should not go to the Ministry of Justice over trivial matters such as your husband and wife!" Shao Jing still wanted to struggle.

"The people from the Punishment Department are here." Chu Liuchen ignored him and looked at the two rows of people walking in. Among them was Wen Xichi from the Punishment Department. What a coincidence!

"Xiao Xuanzi asked someone to prepare the horses. You stay and talk to Mr. Wen from the Criminal Department about this matter. The king and the princess are going back to the house!"

"Yes, I know." Xiao Xuanzi instructed a guard to prepare the horse, and he stepped forward to greet him.

When Jiang said this, many people heard her, and now she couldn't do it even if she wanted to. Xiao Xuanzi had been waiting outside the door early and watched the whole scene. He stayed to explain the matter. it's the best.

Chaos

Like this, who cares who passed the news of Shao Yanru's death to Jiang.

The carriage from the Xingguo Marquis Mansion drove out. Shao Wanru had already sat down on the carriage. Chu Liuchen got into the carriage at the door of the mansion. When both of them got in, the carriage driver waved his whip and drove away, leaving the surrounding people alone. Seeing that a large group of people in the Xingguo Hou Mansion were making such a fuss, no one was willing to leave and continued to watch the development of the situation.

The matter in the Xingguo Hou Mansion is really noisy. Looking at Jiang, she doesn't look like she is really crazy. No one can guess who is telling the truth and who is lying between her and Shao Jing.

The crowd divided on both sides, and the people from the Criminal Department came over.

Wen Xichi had a businesslike look on his face, and after bowing his hands to Shao Jing, he asked someone to take Jiang back to record a confession.

"Mr. Wen San, Jiang is really talking nonsense. She was so confused just now that she didn't even know what she was talking about!" Shao Jing helplessly stopped in front of Wen Xichi and did not allow him to take Jiang away.

"Marquis Xingguo, this is the intention of His Highness King Chen. He said that someone killed his father-in-law. He also said that many people heard what your wife said. We, the Ministry of Punishment, have to deal with business affairs." Lan Xi said in a slow voice. .

"But Jiang has status, so he doesn't have to go!" Shao Jing said anxiously, why would he let Jiang go to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice?

"Marquis Xingguo, His Highness King Chen is the master of suffering. Since he has said so, the people from the Ministry of Punishment should do it. Unless Marquis Xingguo can find someone who can speak to him, this matter can only be done according to His Highness King Chen's wishes."

Wen Xichi said unmoved.

Two people from the Criminal Department came up to take Jiang. Jiang was frightened and stretched out her hand to pull Shao Jing's sleeve. She no longer had the courage to fight to the death.

"Young Master Wen San..." Marquis Xingguo wanted to say something else, but Wen Xichi had already waved his hand, and someone came over and pulled Jiang back.

Jiang's hand was still holding Shao Jing's hand. After he was dragged a few steps, Jiang's hand fell down.

"Master Hou... We are husband and wife. We have been married for many years. We died in the same cave. Master Hou, don't forget what you promised me!" Jiang cried loudly and reached out to grab Shao Jing, but she failed. Has been dragged away.

"Wen Xichi, Jiang can be taken away by anyone he wants. If you take someone away today, just step over me!" Seeing that Wen Xichi showed no mercy, Shao Jing also came. Angry, he reached out from the waist of a guard on the side, pulled out a sword, stretched it forward, and said sternly.

The sword was pointed straight at Wen Xichi and reached Wen Xichi's chest.

They actually started fighting, even with officials from the Ministry of Punishments. Everyone took a deep breath and became even more reluctant to leave. What was going on in front of them? How could it become so explosive?

Wen Xichi looked at the sword lying in front of him, and then at Shao Jing. His expression was extremely calm, and he said expressionlessly: "Does Marquis Xingguo want to rebel?"

These words were too heavy, and Shao Jing couldn't bear it. The sword in his hand shook twice and fell down.

"Don't worry, Marquis Xingguo. If this matter is nothing serious, your wife will definitely send it back. But now we have to go to the Ministry of Punishment to make a record. Since His Highness King Chen has sued the Jiang family for this matter, he has to ask Marquis Xingguo to leave when he can't. One trip, now I’m going back.”

Wen Xichi bowed his hands to him, turned around and left with the others.

Shao Jing winked at Jiang, who did not dare to struggle anymore and could only follow.

The people from the Criminal Department left.

When Jiang said this before, the quarrel was too fierce, and everyone didn't take it very seriously at first. Now they calmed down and carefully studied it, and looked at Shao Jing with some doubts. If this is true. , the Xingguo Hou Mansion in front of us may have caused a big disaster.

Especially for Shao Jing's family, this matter is no longer a big quarrel between a husband and wife that breaks their face.

When Shao Jing returned to the house, his feet were shaking. Standing in the house, his eyes felt dark, and he held his hands against a tree to keep himself steady.

How did things become like this? It was just a small calculation that allowed Jiang to "die" in Shao Wanru's hands. How could it now be involved in what happened back then?

That incident has always been buried deep in his heart. Even the Jiang family has never mentioned it. If the murder of his brother comes out, he will be finished.

When he went to the border secretly, he didn't tell the Jiang family because he was also on guard against the Jiang family. After being married for so many years, the Jiang family must have had some suspicions, but they were just guesses. Shao Jing never thought that the Jiang family would do it in front of so many people. , as if he was suddenly going to die with himself.

In order to conceal what happened that year, he even secretly tried to prevent Yan Xi from entering Beijing. He was afraid that Yan Xi would enter Beijing, so his father also sent people to come and go back and forth to find out what happened when he was at the border. The eldest princess’s suspicion.

Jiang family, all Jiang family...

Gritting his teeth and gathering his composure, he had to find a way now to prevent Jiang from destroying him.

"Master Marquis, Madam, please come over!" A maid came over in a hurry. Seeing Shao Jing standing there with her eyes slightly closed, she hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Tell Madam, I'll be there in a minute!" Shao Jing opened his eyes and said.

"Yes." The maid didn't dare to say anything and turned around to report.

Shao Jing closed his eyes again, then turned and walked to Shao Huaan's study. When he got to the study, he asked the servant to guard the door before striding in.

"Father!" Shao Huaan was reading a book. When he saw Shao Jing coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted.

"No need to be polite, just sit down!" Shao Jing sat down on the side and waved to the boy waiting on Shao Hua'an to signal him to go ahead.

After the boy left, Shao Jing held his head and said, "Your mother was making trouble at the door just now. She wanted to fight me to the death. She also said that I killed your uncle and Princess Qinghua."

"What?" Shao Hua'an didn't react and said in shock, "Isn't mother in the backyard? Why did she go to the front door to cause trouble? And what is she talking about?"

"Your mother somehow secretly left the Xingguo Hou Mansion and went to the front gate to cause trouble. King Chen was here today. After hearing her nonsense about how I killed your uncle, he called the people from the Criminal Department over!" Shao Jing lowered his head. After he came down, he was completely unenergetic and said, "Your mother is trying to kill us!"

"Father...what...what should I do?" Shao Hua'an was shocked. He finally heard clearly this time, plotting to kill his uncle? Is it possible to talk about this kind of thing casually, and it has even been brought to the Ministry of Justice?

"You will go to the Ministry of Justice later to ask about your mother's affairs. You always ask her not to make trouble anymore. You know about Ru'er. She feels that she cannot take advantage of a concubine, but I...but I..." Shao Jing pinched She pinched her brows and felt a headache, "I don't know who was provoking her to say such a thing, but you guys ignored her... Your mother is really crazy!"
