Chapter 1033: Settlement (1)
It was too shocking. The civil and military officials were already shocked speechless.
How did the Cheng family’s mine become His Majesty’s?
Or did Old Master Cheng personally give it away to protect Cheng Sang’s life?
Why?
What capital crime had Cheng Sang committed that His Majesty wanted to kill her?
In addition, just now, His Majesty kept saying that his brother was dead, but these three people from the mine came forward and said that His Majesty’s brother had been imprisoned by His Majesty for 30 years.
Who was telling the truth?
The King of the Southern Wilderness looked at Su Xiaoxiao angrily.
Endless killing intent flashed across his eyes, mixed with a hint of shock.
He did not expect this girl to be involved in the matter.
Wasn’t she at odds with the Saintess?
Yet, she was hand in glove with the Saintess now.
And these three useless things had easily betrayed him!
The three heads felt the killing intent of the King of the Southern Wilderness and their bodies trembled even more.
No matter how they used to abuse their power in the mine, they had been taught a lesson by the Wei brothers these few days.
Moreover, they were forced to testify against the ruler of a country. If they lost, the person on the dragon throne would have them executed.
If they won, the person in the mine would sit on the throne and would still not let go of the three of them who had imprisoned him for many years.
They were between a rock and a hard place…
The civil and military officials had different thoughts. After the huge shock, they could not help but look at the cloaked man.
From this person’s expression and condition, it was obvious that he had not
seen the light ot day tor many years.
If one did not believe it, he could go to the prison of the government office and walk around. Those who had been imprisoned for many years, other than being dirtier than him, looked like they had come from the netherworld.
So there was at least one thing they were sure of—he had indeed been imprisoned.
Xie Jinnian looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said again, “The documents can be faked, and so can the accounts.”
Su Xiaoxiao met his scrutiny and said unhurriedly, “There are so many Imowledgeable ministers in the hall. It’s not difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the documents, right?”
Xie Jinnian looked at her calmly.
The Empress Dowager said seriously, “Elder Zhang, Elder Liu, Elder Sun,
Teacher Zhang! Thank you for taking a look at these things!”
The four people who were called out braced themselves and checked in public.
Su Xiaoxiao even thoughtfully took out two abacuses from her bag. “Here.” The four adults were speechless.
It was impossible to check all of them. It was too time-consuming. The four of them randomly chose a few books to check.
In the end, there were no old traces, no accounts that could not be matched, and no copied handwriting.
Moreover, from the four accounts, the Cheng family’s mine had indeed transported a lot of iron ore to the Imperial Court for free. There were even weapons that Su Xiaoxiao deliberately didn’t mention.
The four of them casually flipped through a few more books. There was indeed a large amount of income from His Majesty and many minerals that the three big shots had pocketed.
In comparison, the Cheng family’s income was indeed not worth mentioning.
From the looks of it, the Cheng family’s mine was indeed controlled by His Majesty.
If the three big shots were not lying and this person was indeed imprisoned in the mine, it could only be His Majesty’s idea.
It could not be that the three of them had the guts to imprison the emperor of a country.
Not to mention that they did not know each other, even after so many years, the two of them were still so similar. They must have been even more similar back then.
The first time they saw that person, they would definitely greet him as the emperor.
Now, they were just not sure who the older brother and the younger brother were.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the King of the Southern Wilderness. “Your Majesty, today’s evidence is only the tip of the iceberg. If you want it, I have more. Or, I can bring the Empress Dowager and the civil and military officials to the Cheng family’s mine to take a look!”
The King of the Southern Wilderness said sternly, “Nonsense! It’s all nonsense! This is your Cheng family’s evil plan! If it’s really as you say, that I seized his throne, why didn’t I eliminate him?!”
The civil and military officials nodded.
Indeed. Their emperor was not an indecisive person. If he really occupied the nest, it was impossible for him not to eliminate future troubles.
Su Xiaoxiao was not intimidated by his anger and said fearlessly, “Because you have a strange illness and need his blood as a medicine primer once a month!
Without him, you will die!”
Gasps sounded again in the hall.
The Empress Dowager felt dizzy and swayed.
Zongzheng Wei hurriedly stood up to support her. “Mother!”
When a mother heard that her son had been imprisoned for many years, her heart was already cut like a knife. He also had to have his blood taken for many
years.. What kind of torture was this?
