Chapter 42 Longevity Banquet (End) Please read

Kowtow to the emperor and introduce your name and where you are from.

Xu Houde knelt on the ground and testified: "On July 10, the villain saw Zhuang Xun being driven off the frame of a gorgeous car. He did not expect to do such a shameful thing. After the villain recognized the handwriting

It is indeed Zhuang Xun’s.”

This sentence was full of loopholes, how could it be so coincidental, but before there was physical evidence of fingerprints, Zhuang Xun didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Angrily accusing the other party of falsely accusing you? Everyone knows it is a false accusation, but your fingerprints are on it and your name is also yours.

"After all, it is a family scandal that should not be publicized, but I didn't expect that Zhuang Xun would use this as a promotion. How could I let a thief occupy such a high position? Even if I expose my family scandal today, I want people to know that Zhuang Xun is a hypocrite.

"Lu Buming was filled with indignation.

Zhuang Xun took a deep breath, Si Qinmi's teachings were in his ears, and he did not feel sad or happy with anything else.

"If you steal someone's wife or concubine, you won't be beaten if they are found. It seems that everyone in the Zhenguo Palace can go." Zhuang Xun said with a chuckle.

Suddenly the entire banquet was filled with lively atmosphere.

"At that time, I wanted to protect the reputation of Duke Zhenguo. What would I do if I beat you and were discovered by others? Now, how can I let someone like you, who deceives the world and steals fame, be allowed to be in the court?" Lu Buming said bravely, the truth or falsehood is not important.

What's important at this moment is that he is on Yang Zuoxiang's team.

"That's quite interesting. I am a unruly man who stole the Duke's wife. When he was found out, he was not punished at all. He was even sent back by chartered car instead of being sent to a mass grave. It is said that the Duke's mansion is full of bodhisattvas. It is indeed true.

Duke Lu Guo is also a good man, and he can make such sacrifices for the reputation of the government. Now that Duke Zhen Guo's wife has been humiliated, does Duke Zhen Guo also want to let her go?" Zhuang Xun did not bother with the confession, he knew that he would never be able to explain it clearly.

This is all evidence. The other party has clearly framed you and then falling into his trap would be too stupid.

The emperor laughed after hearing this. Zhuang Xun's words were so insulting that they made Lu Buming's face turn red. He felt very happy.

I have tasted the feeling of being betrayed by someone I trust many times, but this is the first time I have seen a traitor blush like this.

Then, his expression turned worried again. Is it a good choice to insert Zhuang Xun into the household department?

Even nobles like Zhenguo Gong have turned to the Qingliu faction. Not counting this time, how many times can I protect him?

If a person is asked to go to a world full of animals, wouldn't this push him into a pit of fire?

How was he going to crack this kind of fabrication that was made out of nothing? Just changing the topic could not hide that what the other party had obtained was evidence, names and fingerprints.

"Your name and fingerprints have been pressed, and you still dare to quibble! I personally saw you get off the car at the Zhenguo Palace." Seeing Lu Buming's appearance, Xu Houde became anxious and began to present facts and evidence, although they were all false.

, his future and destiny depend entirely on this death press.

"Zhenguofu's bicycle frame should be very gorgeous, right? Won't it attract other people's attention when it appears in Xufang? Just ask the neighbors if there are any gorgeous bicycle frames in Xufang on this date." Zhuang Xun shook his head and said, choosing

See the loopholes in the other party's logic.

"What I saw with my own eyes could be false. Who knew at that late at night that this confession was not your fingerprints?" Xu Houde said, pointing to the confession.

Force Zhuang Xun to say yes or no.

You can't talk about anything else with Zhuang Xun. Everyone knows that it is a frame-up. The more you talk about it, the bigger the problem becomes. The problem now is how Zhuang Xun can explain that he has not done this.

As long as Zhuang Xun answers yes or no, he is entering the trap set by the other party. Answering no means that the handwriting and fingerprints are his own, which is tantamount to lying in public. Answering yes is tantamount to admitting guilt.

"I didn't expect you, Xu Houde, to use me as a surrender certificate." He found other words to say without admitting the truth of the charges.

"Don't say that you have all these things. I am reporting you out of loyalty to His Majesty and to prevent hypocrites like you from entering the court." Xu Houde did not hide his resentment towards Zhuang Xun.

During the last rehearsal, Qian Xinzhao offered him an olive branch. He only considered it at first, but after Zhuang Xun rejected him, he approached Qian Xinzhao because Zhuang Xun was too selfish and would not introduce him even though he had the resources.

, why should I help him?

"Yes, just tell me whether the name and fingerprints on this confession are yours." Lu Buming also reacted and held on to the only physical evidence.

Zhuang Xun froze. He could only recognize the signature and fingerprints, but not the others. As long as you said the fingerprints were yours, you would have acknowledged the authenticity of the confession.

Isolated and helpless, the emperor is also waiting for his answer. Whether he admits it or not, the emperor will save his life, or deny it.

"If it is July 10th, I will also testify." Shi Shiran walked out of the banquet.

The plump and pearly beauty looks like a moon goddess in a toad palace under the moonlight. The gorgeous decoration does not hide her grace.

"What kind of testimony does Mrs. Jiang want?" the emperor said with a frown.

Have the Qingliu people communicated with foreign countries?

No, Mrs. Jiang is Zhuang Xun's recommender and should be here to help Zhuang Xun.

Thinking of this, he felt a little more relaxed.

"On July 10th, Zhuang Xiaolian was with the Nu family all night, so how could he show up at the Zhenguo Duke's mansion to steal incense and jade?" he said in an extremely explosive tone.

"You guys stayed together? One night?" Lu Buming said in disbelief, Xu Houde also seemed to have seen a ghost.

The eyes of all the civil and military officials turned back and forth, sometimes on Zhuang Xun, and sometimes on the tall Jiang Xiannuo.

"When Xiaolian was poor, he was sorting out the accounts for the caravan under the slave family. We talked happily and sent Xiaolian home the next day." Jiang Xiannuo said nonchalantly.

The suggestive element in the sentence made everyone smile ambiguously, and of course there was also the regret of a flower stuck in cow dung.

"Impossible, I will deliver it that day..." Xu Houde swallowed back his words.

"Do you have any evidence to prove this?" The emperor looked at the two people who did not match in size and smiled lightly.

"Xiaolian, please take out the handkerchief from the slave family. In order to preserve Xiaolian's reputation, I have no choice but to do so," Jiang Xiannuo said apologetically.

As a practitioner, reputation is not important. This merit is actually earned. Zhuang Xun, who I learned from people like He Heng, is not a good person. He is simply a saint. This cannot be emphasized.

"Handkerchief, oh..." Zhuang Xun rummaged through his cuffs. Today Si Qinmi asked, and he took the handkerchief and put it in his cuffs.

"The blue bird carries the wind in its mouth, and the beauty is full of tenderness, lingering and pathos, living up to the beauty's wishes."

There was a limerick on the back of the handkerchief, as well as his signature. Zhuang Xun's eyes widened. There was no such thing before.

It wasn't until the attendant came that Zhuang Xun realized what he was doing and handed over the handkerchief.

"Xiao Lian, you are very affectionate. Today you are Mrs. Jiang, tomorrow you are the wife of the Duke's Mansion, and the day after tomorrow..." The emperor took the hand Juan and softly recited the verses above.

Some female guests blushed upon hearing this, and the joking expressions of the male guests filled their cheeks even more.

Belonging to one gossip overshadows another. After all, the first gossip is already dead, while the other gossip is alive in front of you.

The body shape and appearance of both parties are not very suitable, and both of them are weird and have a sense of taboo.

"This thing is a forgery!" Xu Houde clearly remembered that on July 10, because the Ghost Festival was coming, he invited Zhuang Xun to his home.

His mother said that Zhuang Xun lived alone, and during the Ghost Festival, he was afraid that ghosts would haunt him and ask him to come to his house. Some things delayed him. It was only dusk when he went, and Zhuang Xun had already fallen asleep.

How could I be so romantically involved with this Mrs. Jiang?

"Who should I believe in these two pieces of evidence?" The emperor handed the handkerchief to the attendant. He was relieved that it was not one-sided and required him to forcibly protect it.

He forcibly bailed out many people, but the price was that these people's reputations were so bad that they fell into the ranks of corrupt officials. Zhuang Xun was the same. Forcibly bailing him out meant acknowledging this matter, which would damage his reputation and make false accusations.

And official certification are two different things.

"Your Majesty, there are fingerprints on the confession, and my copy is authentic." Having reached this point, Lu Buming said bravely.

"The Nu family is good at copying, and they can also get fingerprints." Jiang Xiannuo covered her mouth and smiled.

"How do you get the fingerprints?" Xu Houde felt that things had exceeded his expectations.

"Please bring the red ink paper and the forged confession for me to copy," Jiang Xiannuo requested.

"Prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones." The emperor was excited. This kind of excitement was rare.

Red ink and paper were brought up, as well as a square table and a soft cushion for sitting on.

Jiang Xiannuo lightly combed her hair, showing such tenderness that Zhuang Xun didn't understand or understand, but now he was very grateful to Jiang Xiannuo for his protection.

A soft black hair, dipped in red ink, was swayed on the white paper, and a fingerprint had been formed. She also copied Zhuang Xun's name, then stood up with dignity, and handed over the confession and the two things she copied.

Passed by attendant.

"Ingenious workmanship, exactly the same, circulated among the ministers." The emperor was greatly surprised. What kind of skillful hand was this to be so accurate?

"Xiao Lian used to be a bookkeeper, and he did a lot of signing and depositing things. I'm sure someone would copy them like this." Jiang Xiannao's words denied the authenticity of the confession.

After all, you can fake your fingerprints, but the authenticity needs to be verified.

"Since Zhuang Xun has an old relationship with you, why would you spend all your money on the funeral of the daughter of Si Qin's family? Isn't it just a person who is just trying to gain fame?" Xu Houde had a bright idea.

"Because of the conflict, this man cannot be a son-in-law. He would rather marry an ugly wife than marry a slave. I originally wanted him to come and ask for a slave's family, but I didn't expect that he would do it by himself." Jiang Xiannuo.

Deal with it easily.

"Mrs. Jiang is stunningly beautiful. The story of mother and daughter returning home three times is certainly fake. Mother and daughter are not as good as you, Mrs. Jiang." Lu Buming was also trying his best to find loopholes.

"I didn't know Xiaolian at that time. It seems that the Duke of the State has already acquiesced in our previous relationship." Jiang Xiannuo's rank is not something that these people can compete with.

"I..." It was too late to regret, the words were already out of my mouth.

Since it is admitted that the two parties are connected, it is also true that they met for one night on July 10th.

Just like Zhuang Xun admitted that the name and fingerprints were written by him.
