Chapter 735: Stab

After the morning sacrifice was over, all the civil and military ministers rushed out of the Ancestral Temple in agony, then ran to their homes and began to wash and change clothes.

Zhou Tianzi returned to Lutai with a gloomy expression. He looked at his hands that were dyed purple, and his wet clothes rubbed a long purple mark on the ground. Gong E wiped it carefully with a nervous expression.

A maid brought warm water, quickly stepped forward to take off Emperor Zhou's robe, and then helped Emperor Zhou take a bath.

The purple paint was washed away, and the warm water was changed one basin after another.

"Father! Father!" Ji Wuxin's panicked voice sounded outside the door. He broke away from the guards and walked all the way to Lutai. Then he knelt down with a 'plopping' and said, "Father, I don't know what the child will do." It was unintentional for the child to make such a big mistake, please be merciful to me, father."

"Have mercy?" Emperor Zhou opened his eyes coldly after hearing this.

Ji Wuxin looked at the purple Emperor Zhou, feeling extremely frightened.

"This sacrifice to heaven is of great importance. It is simply shocking that you made such a big mistake. You actually said that you asked the lonely king to show mercy? Do you know what is involved in this sacrifice? What does such a big mistake mean? What? The last majesty of my great Zhou Dynasty and the opportunity to suppress the world are buried in your hands!" Emperor Zhou's voice was cold: "It is not an exaggeration for the lonely king to cut you into pieces with a thousand knives."

‘Bang~’

Ji Wuxin was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her eyes full of panic: "Father, my child has been framed! My child has been framed!"

"Haier got that secret recipe from the Shen family. The secret recipe came from the Shen family. He'er is innocent." Ji Wuxin said quickly.

"From the God's family? Didn't you say that you personally prepared this secret recipe?" Emperor Zhou frowned upon hearing this, with a look of seriousness in his eyes.

"I don't dare to deceive the father. It was the child who lied before. This secret recipe comes from the Shen family. It was all deliberately framed by the Shen family. The child accidentally fell into the Shen family's conspiracy. You still ask the father to make the decision for the child." Ji Wuxin At this time, he no longer concealed anything and told the whole story like he was pouring beans.

Hearing Ji Wuxin's words, Emperor Zhou frowned and yelled angrily: "Idiot!"

At this moment, a guard stood outside the door and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Shenqi, the heir to the Rongguo Palace, is beating the Dengwen drum. Do you want to bring him to trial?"

"God Qi? He came just in time. The lonely king just had something to ask him." Emperor Zhou looked gloomy.

When Cui Yu came to Lutai, the atmosphere in Lutai was tense. Emperor Zhou had already finished bathing, and Ji Wuxin, who was as purple as a gourd, knelt down in the hall, like a wounded quail.

"Greetings to your Majesty." Cui Yu raised his hand and saluted.

After hearing this, Emperor Zhou turned around and looked at Cui Yu. He did not ask Cui Yu to get up, but stared at him with his eyes. After a long time, he said, "I heard that you beat the Dengwen drum?"

"Your Majesty, I have proven my innocence. Some people said that my family's plan defrauded the world of supplies. I was unwilling to accept it and secretly investigated and collected evidence. It happened to be a drizzle today. By chance, I discovered that someone's clothes were soaked in the rain. The color started to fade after being soaked in it." Cui Yu said this, looking at Emperor Zhou with a pair of eyes full of energy, as if he didn't even see Emperor Zhou's gloomy face or Ji Wuxin's dead fish eyes:

"After investigation and comparison, I found that all the faded silks came from the Wantong Chamber of Commerce. And the silks that were previously used to exchange for gold also faded in the rain, so I judge that the silk from the Wantong Chamber of Commerce is responsible for the disaster that caused the world The silk comes from the same place, so there must be some connection between the two parties."

"The silk of the God's family will never fade if soaked in the rain for a quarter of an hour, even if it is soaked for a day and a night. The silk of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce and those silks that brought trouble to the world will fade if soaked in the rain for a quarter of an hour. It is enough to show that all the silk comes from the same place. I am reporting to the Wantong Chamber of Commerce that the Wantong Chamber of Commerce is the mastermind of this matter. I also ask the king to investigate carefully and restore my family's innocence." Cui Yu said with a respectful expression.

Emperor Zhou's face became even more gloomy when he heard this, while Ji Wuxin looked at Cui Yu with horror. No one knew the origin of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce silk better than him. It definitely did not come from the so-called rebellious party, but from the Shen family. .

He finally understands now that this is a conspiracy! A conspiracy against myself!

"Bastard! You guys don't have to lie about anything. Others don't know, even the lonely king doesn't know. The silk from the Wantong Chamber of Commerce comes from your Shen family. It was the Wantong Chamber of Commerce that stole your Shen family's formula, and printing and dyeing appeared now. Silk, how dare you talk nonsense in front of the king? How can you be allowed to confuse right and wrong in front of the king? The silk formula of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce comes from your Shen family. If someone really colludes with the rebellious party, it must be your Shen family. , not Wantong Chamber of Commerce." Ji Wuxin hurriedly shouted angrily.

Cui Yu looked at Ji Wuxin in surprise when he heard this: "Why did your Highness say this? You are a prince, and you can't talk nonsense. Your Highness said that my Shen's formula was lost and stolen? My Shen's formula was stolen. It has not been leaked. Besides, if the silk formula of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce comes from our Shen family, may I ask, Your Highness, why the silk from the Wantong Chamber of Commerce fades, but the formula of our Shen family does not? The same formula should not dye two colors. Planting cloth is the way to go."

"You fart! Ken, you deliberately played a trick and tampered with the formula. You asked the Wantong Chamber of Commerce to obtain the fake formula just to frame us at this time. You are so ambitious, and for the sake of your own selfishness, you actually ignored me. The current situation is really deserving of death." Ji Wuxin cursed loudly.

"Your Highness, please be careful. You are a nobleman of the emperor. Please don't talk nonsense without evidence." Cui Yu was sure of victory and looked at Ji Wuxin with a smile.

"I have evidence!" Ji Wuxin looked at Emperor Zhou: "Father, I have witnesses. As long as we call them over for confrontation, we can get to the bottom of this."

Emperor Zhou sat upright and looked at the calm Cui Yu and the frightened Ji Wuxin. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart. Ji Wuxin did not lie!

The truth must be what Ji Wuxin said.

But talk about evidence!

He is the emperor of Zhou Dynasty. He must act according to evidence and must convince people with reason.

"Who can testify?" Emperor Zhou asked.

"The gods of the Shen family." Ji Wuxin said quickly.

"Call the witness." Emperor Zhou ordered.

"Please, Your Majesty, verify the authenticity of what I am saying. Ask someone to bring the cloth from three families and soak it in a basin for a quarter of an hour to know the authenticity." Cui Yu was a little aggressive at this time.

Now is the best time to put the opponent to death, and he must not miss it.

Emperor Zhou raised his head and looked at Cui Yu. Cui Yu looked at Emperor Zhou firmly. After a moment, Emperor Zhou withdrew his gaze and said to the palace attendant beside him: "Go and do it."

The palace attendants retreated, and Emperor Zhou looked at Cui Yu: "Unexpectedly, the Shen family would have a figure like you. The Shen family will surely prosper in your hands in the future."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Cui Yu seemed not to understand the meaning of Emperor Zhou's words, and accepted Emperor Zhou's praise with a smile.

Without letting Cui Yu wait long, the spirit was brought into the hall by the inner vision.

"Meet the king." The god bowed respectfully.

Ji Wuxin was overjoyed after seeing the god on the side, and turned to look at Cui Yu: "Bitch, I call you a dead duck, but now that the witness is here, the lonely king will definitely call you doomed."

"God." Ji Wuxin shouted.

"I have met Your Highness." The god bowed respectfully.

"But you stole the formula of Shenji Silkworm Village and then presented the formula to Wantong Chamber of Commerce?" Ji Wuxin looked at the god with his eyes.

The gods and Cui Yu have long been incompatible with each other in order to compete for the inheritance rights of the Duke's Mansion. And the gods belong to him. As long as he speaks now, the gods will definitely speak to him.

As long as the gods bear witness, Cui Yu will definitely fall into a place of eternal disaster, and all the blame can be thrown to Cui Yu.

Hearing this, the god glanced at Ji Wuxin, then turned to look at Cui Yu. After the two looked at each other, the god turned to look at Ji Wuxin: "What does your highness mean? I don't understand."

Ji Wuxin, who was looking forward to the gods speaking out to testify, was stunned, and then became anxious the next moment, and said in a panic: "Didn't you personally steal the silk printing and dyeing formula of the Shen family and then give it to the Wantong Chamber of Commerce? Didn't you do this? King Gu personally ordered you to do it."

"Your Highness!" The god's face turned gloomy when he heard this: "You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense."

"As a member of the God's family, the silk satin formula is related to the interests of my God's family. It can bring my God's family back to life. It is a vital thing. How could I steal it and give it to my enemies? Is it possible for your highness to do so? Do you think I am a fool? Although I have conflicts with Shenqi, I am also a member of the God family and will never betray the interests of my God family to my opponents. Is it possible that His Highness is out of his mind? He actually slandered me like this? What is my God like? Do you want to be a young man? Even if I die, I will never betray the interests of the family." The god spoke righteously and his voice was sonorous and powerful.

Ji Wuxin was stunned when he heard the words. He felt as if he had fallen into a dream. His eyes were staring at the god with disbelief. He was speechless for a moment.

Unbelievable!

incredible!

Above, Emperor Zhou took in this scene and slowly closed his eyes, feeling completely disappointed in Ji Wuxin.

Ji Wuxin was defeated!

Defeated to the point where there is no room to fight back!

It was a complete mess!

Of course he believed in Ji Wuxin, no one knew Ji Wuxin better than him, but he couldn't help Ji Wuxin.

"I still have evidence! I still have evidence!" Ji Wuxin shouted angrily: "You and the people from the Wantong Chamber of Commerce did this together, and the Wantong Chamber of Commerce can testify!"

"The Wantong Chamber of Commerce has colluded with the rebellious party. Now that I have caught the evidence, of course I will fight with all my strength and throw all the blame on the Shen family. If His Highness asks the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, as long as the Wantong Chamber of Commerce is not a fool, it will I am a witness for His Highness. So are the words of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce credible?" Cui Yu looked at Ji Wuxin quietly with his eyes: "Your Highness, please stop trying. It is obvious that you colluded with the Wantong Chamber of Commerce and defrauded all the major companies in the world. You want to put the blame on the Shen family, but you want to blame the Shen family on me? It’s simply ridiculous. The princes and princes in the world are not fools. Your Highness may be able to slander me and put a blame on the Shen family, but you can’t stop Youyou. mouth."

"You're setting a fucking trap for me. I'm going to kill you." Ji Wuxin was furious and jumped up to kill Cui Yu.

"Unbridled!" Zhou Tianzi roared angrily, the air seemed to be stagnant, the rain curtain outside Lutai paused, and order was restored in an instant.

"Ji Wuxin." Zhou Tianzi looked at Ji Wuxin with his eyes.

"Father, please listen to Erchen's explanation! Erchen really didn't lie. All the formulas came from the Shen family. It was clearly the Shen family who deliberately framed the child." Ji Wuxin defended in a panic.

"Your Majesty, what you said is a big mistake. Our Shen family doesn't do purple silk and satin business at all. Where can you steal the purple printing and dyeing formula?" Cui Yu retorted with a smile.

"You're fucking deliberately playing a trick. That purple formula was found in your Silkworm Village..." Ji Wuxin cursed loudly.

"Shut up, don't embarrass yourself again." Emperor Zhou's voice was cold.

"Father." Ji Wuxin looked panicked.

"The Lone King is so disappointed in you!" Emperor Zhou looked ugly.

"My child... My child is really unjust!" Ji Wuxin kept kowtow and begged.

"Pass the decree to deprive Ji Wuxin of all royal treatment, deprive him of all powers and positions, and imprison him in the clan's mansion. He will not leave the clan's mansion without an edict." Emperor Zhou's voice was cold.

Although he was angry that Ji Wu had no intention, he still spared his life out of consideration for human kindness.

After all, this is his most optimistic son and his most optimistic bloodline.

"Bang~" Ji Wuxin's body went limp and he collapsed directly to the ground, with a look of fear and sadness in his eyes: "Father, this child is incompetent!"

The chamberlain stepped forward, dragged Ji Wuxin away, and left the hall.

Zhou Tianzi looked at Cui Yu with his eyes and praised him expressionlessly: "He is indeed a talented young man. The old lady did nothing wrong in leaving the Shen family in your hands. If the old lady knew better, she would be pleased."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for distinguishing right from wrong and making the decision for me." Cui Yu said with a respectful expression, cupping his fists and saluting.

"What happened to the silk from the experiment?" Emperor Zhou asked the servant without any sadness or joy.

"This..." The chamberlain looked at Emperor Zhou, hesitating and not knowing how to answer.

"Speak! Tell the truth! The lonely king wants the truth! If there is any concealment or false report, the lonely king will cut you into pieces and kill all nine of your clans!" Emperor Zhou's voice was majestic and cold, and he could not hear the joy, anger, sorrow or joy.

"Reporting back to your Majesty, it is indeed as Master Shenqi said, the silk of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce looks like the silk that caused trouble in the world, and its color faded in the water. But the silk of the Shen family did not show any trace of fading when it was soaked in the water!" After hearing this, the chamberlain recounted the results under pressure.

After hearing this, Emperor Zhou turned to look at Cui Yu and said unhurriedly: "Good job."

I don't know if he was praising Cui Yu for his good skills, but he was swaying the Wantong Chamber of Commerce and Ji Wuxin. He also said that he believed that the Wantong Chamber of Commerce was the mastermind behind this, and that everyone was being swiped around, and all the 365 princes in the world were involved.
