Chapter 301 Moonlight under the city

"Wang Yin deserves to die for his crime!"

Wang Yin pressed his forehead to the ground, kowtowed heavily, and then slowly stood up: "I'm sorry, Miss Cheng. I made a big mistake on impulse, and I regretted it after calming down. Miss Cheng had not yet fully woken up. I didn't know what to do, and I was afraid that I would attract attention from others after staying still, so I left the scene."

"Then why didn't you admit your mistake the next day?!"

"After I returned home that night, I asked people around me to inquire about the girl's identity. He went there for two or three days. Based on the news he brought back, I confirmed that it was a girl from the Cheng family.

"And from this, I also knew that the Tang and Cheng families had an engagement, and I realized that I had caused a big disaster. Neither the Tang family nor the Cheng family could be offended. If I went to the Cheng family to collect the crime directly, it would be like announcing the public that Miss Cheng lost her virginity. If the Cheng family had a way to solve this dilemma, my recklessness would only make it more difficult for them to do.

"After thinking about it, I chose to remain silent. The Ministry of War wanted to transfer people to the imperial tomb, so I took the initiative to collect this missing..."

"So you think you're doing a pretty smart thing, right? Do you think the Cheng family is the kind of shameless family, and plan to hide the truth? Now not only can the two families become married, but they also form enemies. The Cheng family had good intentions to stop the engagement, but now they are misunderstood by the Tang family and they can't say anything about their suffering!

"The inner courtyard of the Cheng family is so sad all day long. Miss Cheng is trying to become a monk, but you hide in the imperial tomb and intend to avoid it! You, an irresponsible beast, have caused others to do this, and you still feel that you have considered them. How shameless you are!"

Wang Yin was scolded so much that he couldn't raise his head at all.

Even the eunuchs such as Si Xi who were attending the audience couldn't help but hold their breath.

In their eyes, Zhao Su's image is mostly a naughty and naughty girl in front of his ministers. The chef who is good at using food to make Queen Mother Lu happy in the Cining Palace. The quasi-emini who is favored in front of the emperor but has never been arrogant because of his favor.

It was like a stern and stern lesson like this, and every sentence was like a needle that made Wang Yin unable to help but suppress his breath, which was something they had never seen.

"I am guilty, but I really can't think of any way to make up for my mistakes. If possible, I am willing to marry Miss Cheng, but Miss Cheng will definitely not be able to like me... I have already hurt her deeply, so I asked her to marry me and be the wife of a fifth-rank general, and to take charge of a small family. Wouldn't it be even more wronged to her?"

After hearing what he said, Zhao Su was so angry that she didn't know what to say!

He knew everything, but he had already made the decision alone?

She said in a deep voice: "You have thought so much, have you done one? You have never done anything. You think that their apology will affect her marriage, so you choose to keep silent. You also think that she will not marry you, so you didn't even want to go over and propose marriage to the Cheng family. You are not afraid that she will not marry, but that the ugly things you did will be exposed!"

"I can swear to God, and I will never have the slightest thought!"

"If you swear it's useful, why do you need the king's law to do?"

Wang Yin choked and his eyes darkened.

The man as burly as an iron tower suddenly faded away. He was like a piece of rotten wood piled up in the night.

Zhao Su took a deep breath, gave him a blank look, and returned to the table to sit down.

She was really sad for Cheng Zhuyun, but at this moment, in addition to criticizing him for his cowardice and irresponsibility, there were more important things to ask. Obviously, he could not just seek a moment of speed.

The emperor reached out from under the desk, held her palm and pinched it.

Then he said, "Have you ever had any chaotic behavior when you drink alcohol?"

"I have never seen it before!" Wang Yin looked up, "I did drink too much that night!"

"Are you sure you're drinking too much?"

Hearing this, Wang Yin tightened his teeth and said, "I dare not lie. The wine and meals that night seemed to be inappropriate. After returning to the house, I calmed down and thought about it. The wine was drunk by several of us, and the dishes were eaten by the same pot. The few people at the same table were friends with me, and they had never been caught. When I came to see me the next day, I didn't know what happened at night. I thought there should be no problem with the wine and food. Only—" When he said this, he also showed hesitation in his eyes, "The only one is the pork trotter, which is the pork trotter. If there is a fraud, it should be related to the pig trotter."

"Then you didn't go and find out?"

"I can't find that old woman."

The emperor slightly stopped his power and asked again: "What you said alone cannot prove that you were not doing it intentionally."

Wang Yin said for a moment, "I remember when I landed on the shore, someone came to chat with me."

"Who?"

"A friend, I thought he was on a boat at that time, so I didn't ask him where he was. When he came up, he said that the young master seemed to have drunk too much, and pointed to me a secluded place, saying that he could sober up the wind and sober up. I didn't care where I went. Since someone recommended him and he was a martial artist, he did not suspect that he had walked over. It was this time that I discovered Miss Cheng."

"So someone is guiding you to go there?"

"If there is no other guidance, I will not be able to go to that secluded place without anyone."

Zhao Su glanced at the emperor. Not to hold Wang Yin responsible for it, Cheng Zhuyun was alone at night, and was led by Juying. Wang Yin also had an intersection with Cheng Zhuyun after someone's guidance, which proved that Wang Yin was indeed targeted and the whole thing was set up. And their earlier speculation was established. All these things were nothing more than to target the Tang and Cheng families, or to dismantle the power of Empress Dowager Lu.

So is this just for Hua Yue?

Zhao Su couldn't tell the truth, because if it was just for the Huayuehui, why would he have to attack the imperial tomb?

So, as Empress Dowager Lu said, Huayuehui was just a target they were aiming at, and the people behind them clearly had other plans.

Of course, all this has to be based on Wang Yin's failure to lie. Although the companions who drank with Wang Yin all confirmed the authenticity of the period of drinking and eating, they still need to be cautious.

As if he had a heart-to-heart relationship, Zhao Sugang thought of this, and the emperor spoke: "Since you cannot prove yourself, you can only hand over the seal and surrender to Dali Temple. When Dali Temple makes it clear whether your words are true or not, then we will discuss the crime. For the reputation of the Cheng family, I allow this case to be heard privately. But if you want to escape, the emperor raised his slender fingers and moved his cup, "Then - kill the nine clans."

The last three words are light and slow, like a rusted blunt knife, slashing on Wang Yin's heart.

He looked panicked, but he didn't struggle. After a moment of silence, he leaned down and said "Abide by the order". He took off his purse, took out a seal the size of his thumb inside, presented it with his hands, and then untied his armor by himself.

The guards came to take him down.

The city tower has returned to quiet, the candle has burned for half, and the smell of wax oil has risen in the air, and the bright moon has risen long ago, illuminating the city's scenery so clearly.
