Prince Xiao frowned slightly, with doubts in his eyes. Judging from the emperor's expression, it was Prince Xiao's house who embezzled millions of silver taels.
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged." No matter what others thought, Ling Wuhou knelt on the ground at this moment and kept shouting that he was wronged.
As long as he doesn't admit it, what can Xiao Qifeng do to him
Xiao Qifeng glanced at Ling Wuhou, with anger in his eyes, but a cold expression on his face: "Whether you are unjust or not, let's look at these things and then talk about it." After saying that, he threw the pamphlet in his hand to the ground, Ling Wu When Hou looked at it, he was confused. Did they even find the evidence? This shouldn't be the case.
Thinking about this, Ling Wuhou thought that this was all Xiao Qifeng's conspiracy. If there was really a clue, he would have already taken action according to his character, how could he stay until now.
The more he thought about Ling Wuhou, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, so he quickly calmed down, picked up the booklet on the ground and started reading it. At first glance, there was no change, but later on, Ling Wuhou's expression suddenly changed. Changed, eyes wide open with disbelief.
When Qiao Tianchang saw Ling Wuhou like this, he couldn't help but sneered: "If Ling Wuhou still feels that he is unjust, I can tell you how many people I have found and where they were found. .”
If Marquis Lingwu is still deceiving himself at this time, then all these years will really be in vain.
Ling Wuhou suddenly collapsed to the ground, the book in his hand fell to the ground, and he was stunned.
When Prince Xiao saw the evidence, his expression changed drastically. This was actually what happened, and it was his son, Xiao Mingren, who did it.
His eyes were on fire as he glared at the book in his hand, and his face was gloomy and scary. He had disliked the peace at home for too long. Did he want to find something for them to do
However, everyone who had not calmed down because of these two news suddenly heard Qiao Tianchang say: "The Qiao family raised an army privately, smuggled private salt, and accounted for 70% of all private salt in the Xiao Kingdom. Please be severely punished by the emperor."
Qiao Tianchang's words were cold, like the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month. They simply didn't believe that Qiao Tianchang could even move the Qiao family.
At the same time, while everyone was in danger, they were all speculating whether the Lingwu Hou Mansion, Prince Xiao Mansion, and the Qiao Family had all provoked the general. Otherwise, why would the general cause trouble for them as soon as he came back? Isn't this an obvious thing?
No one knew what they were thinking, but Xiao Qifeng knew that Qiao Tianchang did not intend to let the matter end like this, so he spoke immediately.
"Marquis Lingwu thought that I had made a contribution to your rescue back then. I will spare your life, but you will be exempted from death, but you will not be able to escape from the crime of living. The heaviest penalty will be a hundred military sticks, and the hereditary title will be cancelled. If you do it next time, you will not be spared. Prince Xiao's Mansion Xiao Mingren embezzled disaster relief funds and shall be executed immediately." Xiao Qifeng looked coldly at Ling Wuhou and Xiao Yilin below and said coldly.
After that, he spoke again: "The Qiao family raised an army privately, smuggled private salt, killed those within the three clans, and distributed them to bitter cold lands outside the three clans."
This punishment is considered a light punishment in ordinary times. In the eyes of smuggling private salt, it is not an exaggeration to behead all the capitals of the nine clans. Now it is only within the three clans, which is already a great grace.
And the private army raised by the Lingwu Marquis Mansion no longer has the hereditary title, so the punishment is really light.
"Thank you Lord for your grace."
Prince Xiao seemed to have aged a lot for a moment. Xiao Mingren was his legitimate son and his most beloved child. He had never been so unreliable in daily life, so why did he do such a thing.
"Retreat from the court." Xiao Qifeng left with a cold face.
Qiao Tianchang stood up, with a bloodthirsty smile on his lips. When passing by Xiao Yilin, he only said one thing, that is, fight until death.
Prince Xiao's originally somewhat decadent face changed in an instant because of Qiao Tianchang's words. He understood why the emperor would punish Lingwuhou Mansion and Prince Xiao's Mansion so lightly, because Qiao Tianchang and his wife did not want them to die so quickly.
Xiao Yilin guessed correctly. Qiao Tianchang really didn't want Xiao Yilin and the others to die so quickly. They died too quickly. How could they experience the pleasure of revenge
