Steel Dynasty - Chapter 102

[Chapter 102 Going the opposite direction]

The next day, Qingzhou prison.

Xiao Ming took Princess Pingyang to interrogate the Wang family and his son in person.

At this time, Xiao Ming asked Lu Fei to take Wang Xuan out of the prison and meet with the Wang family and his son.

In the yamen of Qingzhou Mansion, Xiao Ming sat in the main seat and Princess Pingyang sat on one side.

“Wang Chengchou, Wang Shijie, you two are guilty!” In the government office, Wang Shijie, his son and Wang Xuan were kneeling on the ground at the same time.

Wang Chengchou was in the state of shock when he saw Wang Xuan. He came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Ming, “Your Highness, what are the common people guilty of?”

“Your Highness the Princess, it is clear that my father and son are really unjust.” Wang Shijie kept kowtowing. , the two now knew that they were involved in Wang Xuan’s assassination of the princess.

By this time, Wang Chengchou had understood that Xiao Ming had finally taken action against the Wang family. He smiled bitterly in his heart, but he did not expect that the arrival of the princess would become a life-threatening talisman for their Wang family.

“You two said that he was wronged, so do you know this person?” Princess Pingyang asked solemnly.

Wang Chengchou looked at Wang Xuan who had been tortured, knowing that he could not deny this fact at this time, so he said: “I know, this man is called Wang Xuan, and he is Cao Min’s nephew. It was just three months ago that he violated Qingzhou’s laws and was sentenced to death.” The common people beat him to death, and the common people don’t know why he is still alive?”

When he said this, Wang Chengchou looked at Xiao Ming.

“King Qi, is this possible?” Pingyang asked.

Xiao Ming nodded, “That’s true. Wang Yuanwai once said that this person was responsible for the Wang family’s private possession of cattle, but my nephew thought that the Wang family was a local rich family, so he let him handle it by himself. As for how Wang Yuanwai should deal with it, my nephew I don’t know.”

Princess Pingyang was used to intrigues and intrigues in Chang’an City. Wang Xuan was not favored by the Wang family, so how could she be so bold as to hide the cattle?

Wang Xuan was obviously a scapegoat in this matter, and Wang Chengchou was clearly trying to fool Xiao Ming by using Wang Xuan as an excuse.

If it were other vassal kings, they would probably punish Wang Chengchou for his crimes, but Xiao Ming didn’t care. He obviously had some scruples in his heart. From this, he could see that the Wang family was really bold in Qingzhou.

Originally she didn’t believe that the Wang family would do this, but now her thoughts are a little loosened. A local wealthy family actually despises the prince so much. What does she, a princess, and this wealthy family think?

After thinking for a while, Princess Pingyang said sternly: “You don’t know why he is still alive. Do I know? Humph, a small wealthy family is so bold. Do you really think that I, the Chongqing royal family, are so easy to bully? Xiao Ming, What is the crime for assassinating me?”

“If it is true, the whole family will be executed, and the nine clans will be implicated.” Xiao Ming said softly.

Wang Chengchou was immediately horrified. What he just said was directed at Xiao Ming, not Princess Pingyang. He said anxiously: “Your Highness, the common people really don’t know how Wang Xuan can still be alive, and this Wang Xuan is my second brother. A bastard who was born with a bitch, if I wanted to assassinate the princess, how could I let him go? Moreover, what benefit would it have to my royal family to assassinate the princess? Her Majesty, please be careful and don’t let anyone take advantage of you.” “

Lying on the ground. At this time, Wang Xuan coughed violently and said hoarsely: “Your Highness, I work alone and take responsibility for myself. This matter has nothing to do with the Wang family, but was ordered by King Qi to get rid of the Wang family.”

Xiao Ming looked at him .

He changed his mind and said angrily: “You are talking nonsense, how could I instruct you to assassinate my aunt?”

“Haha, Your Highness, although I am not favored by the Wang family, I am also a member of the Wang family. How could I harm the Wang family like this? I stayed in prison until now just to expose you in person and let Her Royal Highness see your true face.”

“You…” Xiao Ming pointed at Wang Xuan, “Arrogant traitor, where is Lu Fei?

” Fei responded.

“I’ll wait for you to be punished. Let’s see if he tells the truth or not.” Xiao Ming jumped to his feet and became furious.

Princess Pingyang was a little overwhelmed by this sudden change. Ouyang Mu also looked strange, but Wang Chengchou looked ashen at this time.

“I have long heard about the resourcefulness of members of the royal family, and today’s cruel trick is indeed wonderful.” Princess Pingyang seemed to suddenly realize it after a brief moment of astonishment.

She walked up to the Wang family and his son and said, “Although I am in Chang’an, I know a little about things in Qingzhou. In the past five years, your Wang family has relied on itself as a local big family and has not paid attention to the King of Qi. Now you see that the King of Qi is working hard to govern.” , I was afraid that King Qi would liquidate your royal family in the future, so I took advantage of my visit to Qingzhou to stage this cruel trick, in order to frame King Qi and let the emperor remove King Qi from his position as vassal, and your royal family would be safe. “No worries, right?”

“Your Highness, this is absolutely not the case. This Wang Xuan is talking nonsense.” Wang Chengchou shouted hoarsely.

When Wang Xuan framed King Qi, he understood it. If Wang Xuan insisted that the Wang family did it, Princess Pingyang would even suspect that Xiao Ming was secretly instigating it.

But now Wang Xuan insisted that it was King Qi. With Princess Pingyang’s intelligence, she would only think too much and be self-defeating, and finally decided that it was the Wang family.

“Hmph, you said black and white, so let me ask you whether Wang Xuan’s statement is true or false.” Princess Pingyang snorted.

Wang Shijie was so scared that his limbs were paralyzed. If he was convicted, he would inevitably die. He shouted: “Your Highness, what Wang Xuan said is the truth. This matter has nothing to do with my Wang family.”

“Shut up!” Wang Chengchou was shocked and angry. , pushed Wang Shijie.

Wang Shijie was also anxious and shouted to Wang Chengchou: “Dad, we didn’t do this in the first place. King Qi must be setting us up. Wang Xuan is right. He is also a member of the Wang family and will not harm us.”

Xiao A smile appeared at the corner of Ming’s mouth, there was no need to say more about this matter.

Ouyang Mu said to Princess Pingyang at this time: “Your Highness, it is obvious that the Wang family and his son are lying. How could a man who was almost beaten to death by Wang Chengchou still speak for them? The only explanation is that Wang Xuan was originally a secret chess piece of the Wang family. This Wang family Xuan and his son are actually on the same page, just to frame Prince Qi.”

Princess Pingyang nodded and turned to ask Xiao Ming, “Prince Qi, what do you think of this matter?”

“Auntie, if something happens to you in your nephew’s fiefdom, no matter who does it, given my father’s character, my nephew will probably be deprived of his position as vassal king. Although my nephew is stupid, he is not that stupid. “Xiao Ming said calmly: “What’s the benefit of assassinating my aunt?”

“Auntie believes in you.” Princess Pingyang looked at the Wang family and his son, “In this case, the Wang family will be left to you, Ouyang Mu, come and assist King Qi. “

Thank you, aunt.” Xiao Ming looked at Wang Chengchou and Wang Shijie with squinted eyes.

Wang Shijie’s words just now have betrayed the thoughts of the Wang family and his son. There is no room for change between them. After working hard for more than half a year, they are finally going to see blood.
