With a long sigh, Zhao Yi looked at Chu Mo: "But I didn't want to. If I stumbled, I would be hated forever. That year, the old general Fan Wudi found me in private and wanted a batch of special weapons. He found me. At that time... I was fascinated by ghosts for a while." , actually asked the old general for the benefit of ten thousand taels of silver..."
On Zhao Yi's face, there was an extremely ashamed expression, his eye circles were red, and he was about to cry, and he murmured: "I'm confused! I was scolded by the old general, saying that I was crazy about money! Wake up, but I have a grudge against the old general because of this! But I didn't have a chance to find trouble with the old general, so... I put this thought on the old general's grandson, I don't know what I think, I... I deserve to die what!"
As Zhao Yi said, the tears finally couldn't hold back, and he choked up and said: "The master craftsman of the Ministry of Industry, who just joined forces with the foundry master of the sect, made a carriage with extraterrestrial meteorite and top-quality refined steel. It should be dedicated to the royal family and presented to His Majesty as a New Year gift. But because I was blinded by selfishness, I used it to imprison Young Master Chu... There are thousands of mistakes, and it is all the fault of me, Zhao Yi! Today is a happy day, and I, Zhao Yi, cannot Dare to splatter five steps of blood here, dirty everyone's eyes and ears, I only ask Mr. Chief Assistant, Marshal Fang, to give me Zhao Yi a chance to go home and commit suicide!"
Zhao Yi's words were full of tears, and they were so moving and true that even Chu Mo was about to believe it, not to mention others!
Looking at Zhao Yi's tearful and sincere face, he recalled in his heart whether there was really this grievance between grandfather and Zhao Yi
But then I came back to my senses, this is simply impossible! Although grandpa is a general, there are great generals... and marshals! There are also a lot of big shots from the Ministry of War.
Only when the old man is full will he, as a general, go directly to the minister of the Ministry of Industry to ask for armaments...
Ask for ordnance... special ordnance!
Thinking of this, Chu Mo's heart shuddered, and his anger became even worse!
This Zhao Yi, is cheating people when he is dying!
If this matter is true, doesn't it mean that his grandfather has the intention of treason? Otherwise... you are a general, why are you asking the minister of the Ministry of Industry for special ordnance in private? If you want, won't you report to your superiors
Chu Mo's eyes were cold, and he looked at Zhao Yi, feeling extremely angry in his heart: "Bastard... the acting is really good!" You should go to the troupe! You shouldn't be in the court!
There are actually many others who think the same as Chu Mo.
The people present were almost the upper circles of the entire Great Xia. Naturally, they usually listened to and watched operas, but after watching them for so many years, they acted so well... It turned out to be a fourth-rank official in the current dynasty.
The so-called life is like a play, it really is!
Xu Fufu, who was hiding in the corner, twitched at the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "Shameless!"
A pure-looking girl, sitting not far from Xu Fufu, also gritted her teeth, muttering in a low voice: "It's too shameless!"
Xu Fufu couldn't help but looked up at the girl, feeling strange, if the timing wasn't right now, he would definitely go over to strike up a conversation. But at this moment, his heart was filled with anger.
If someone is angry, someone will naturally be happy.
The prince Xia Ying, the second prince Xia Xiong and the third prince Xia Hao and others all looked at Zhao Yi in surprise. It was also the first time they discovered that this Minister of the Ministry of Industry actually had such abilities!
The improvised nonsense is actually so contagious!
As for whether it's real...does it matter? They all know that this matter, in the final analysis, depends on the emperor's will in the end.
Most importantly, Zhao Yi bit Fan Wudi... hard enough!
It's just three points to the woods!
It seemed that the old general Fan Wudi was selfless, and when he saw him asking for bribes, he scolded him. But the essence of this matter... is that the old general found him 'privately' and asked for a batch of special weapons!
This is the most important!
Because it is private, there is no way to verify this. It's really yellow mud falling into the crotch, it's either shit or shit. No matter how much the emperor trusted Fan Wudi, he would definitely feel uncomfortable when he heard this kind of thing.
"This is a talent!" Xia Xiong looked at Zhao Yi with extremely bright eyes, and suddenly he didn't want him to die! So, he glanced at Xia Hao beside him.
The three brothers, from childhood to adulthood, have always had a tacit understanding.
Therefore, the third prince Xia Hao took a step forward, and said with a serious face: "This matter... I am responsible. I didn't expect Zhao Yi to make such a big mistake in a moment of confusion!"
Over there, Xu Zhongliang and Fang Mingtong's expressions did not change at all, and they maintained a calm expression from the beginning to the end.
At this moment, seeing Xia Hao standing up, Fang Mingtong chuckled, "Say it, talk it over."
Fang Mingtong's attitude made many people present couldn't help laughing. Everyone could see that this Generalissimo didn't believe Zhao Yi's nonsense at all, and he didn't take these words seriously!
Xu Zhongliang lowered his eyelids and stood there, as if he had turned into a statue. But no one dares to underestimate the chief minister of the cabinet. We all know that once this person speaks up, it is basically to characterize this matter!
Xia Hao blamed himself, and sighed: "Zhao Yi once told me about the matter between Zhao Yi and Fan Wudi, the old general, because everyone knows that the relationship between me and the old general...is a bit unpleasant. Therefore, Mr. Zhao wants to talk to the old general. I joined forces to give the old general a little embarrassment. But I am a prince after all! At the same time, I am also a citizen of Daxia. Even if I had some unpleasantness with the old general, how could I do such a thing? So, I sternly refused!"
Pooh...
Chu Mo smiled angrily, standing there, his handsome but somewhat green face was full of sarcasm.
Xia Hao acted as if he hadn't seen it, and said to himself: "I told Mr. Zhao a meal. As an official, you must put state affairs first! In the end, Mr. Zhao was a little bit overwhelmed, saying that sooner or later he would find a chance to give the old general a blow." When will his grandson be arrested and imprisoned for a few days, let him be anxious, and he will always vent his anger!"
Xu Zhongliang and Fang Mingtong were expressionless. Many people in the banquet hall were slightly moved in their hearts.
The third prince is also very powerful!
Through his words, Zhao Yi's attempt to assassinate Chu Mo, a major murder case with solid evidence, was turned into a prank to scare the old general. And the fact that the old general asked Zhao Yi for special ordnance in private... is confirmed!
At that time, even if Zhao Yi is imprisoned, he will only be locked up for a few years at most, extorting bribes, kidnapping as a prank, and not killing anyone... But Fan Wudi, I am afraid that it is really not that easy to explain this basin of dirty water.
Those who can appear here, including those women and teenagers, except for a few who are not smart, which one is not a human being
Many people looked at Xia Hao with a hint of fear.
A prince who knows how to fight and play tricks... It's really scary!
Xia Hao went on to perform: "At that time, I scolded Mr. Zhao, but I... I am a general after all, and sometimes my mind can't turn around. I didn't tell the prince about this matter, and I didn't report it. I thought... Zhao My lord, he is just talking, who would have thought that he would actually do such a foolish thing, and I am also at fault!"
At this moment, Prince Xia Ying finally stood up, looking at Xia Hao with a heartbroken expression on his face: "You are confused! Is this kind of thing a trivial matter? How can you not tell me? You, you are so mad. Me! Turn around, I must report to the emperor, and severely punish you for being so unscrupulous!"
Xia Hao lowered his head with guilt on his face: "I accept the punishment..."
Xia Ying looked at Zhao Yi again, with regret on her face: "Master Zhao, you are a dignified fourth-rank official, why are you so narrow-minded? Old General Fan asked you for special weapons, it must be for the country and the people! Integrity, you actually asked him for a bribe, do you think you were deceived by lard?"
Zhao Yi fell to his knees with a thud, and cried bitterly: "I deserve to die, I deserve death for my crimes!"
"Today's festive day is really not suitable for dealing with this matter. In my opinion, you should go home and deal with the crime first! After the New Year, I will report to the Royal Father, and then the Royal Father will convict you!" Xia Ying Shaking his head, he said with a sigh.
"Criminal Zhao Yi...Zun..." Zhao Yi cried even harder, as if he had been wronged by the world, choked up, and the decree of Zunzhi hadn't waited to be said.
In the brightly lit banquet hall, Huo Di lit up with a dazzling light!
As soon as the light came out, the entire hall was eclipsed.
