Yun Luan no longer looked at how Zong Lin was broken and angry.

As far as she is concerned, Zong Lin is completely finished.

There is no need for her to continue to spend time on this waste.

Yun Luan turned to the abbot Xiao and knelt down to apologize.

"Master Zhang, please forgive me for exposing your henchmen in front of you. Zong Lin treated me like this. I really can't swallow it... If you are angry about what I have done, I have nothing to say. , no matter how you punish me, I must pay Zong Lin the price he deserves today."

"Some of his behaviors are really irritating. You probably don't know yet. The reason why Miss Yao Qin and I cooked rice a few days ago was because of Master Zong Lin's methods. He just used Yao Qin to cook rice. Miss Qin has been used as a hook to deal with me. If the emperor doesn’t believe it, you can also ask Miss Yao Qin.”

"A Xueyan may not be convincing, but what if Yao Qin also comes out to identify Zong Lin? Whether he is innocent or not, the state leader must be able to tell clearly for himself, right?"

Xiao Guozhang looked at Yun Luan with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

This man's methods were even more powerful than Zong Lin's.

Zong Lin is so smart, but he was fooled by her this time.

This Luan Yun is not simple!

Perhaps she is wiser than Zong Lin?

He was wondering if all this was a plan by Luan Yun, Meng Guogong, and the prince to join forces to eradicate Zong Lin?

After all, they all know that Zong Lin is his confidant and his most dependent and trusted subordinate.

But soon, Xiao Guozhang suppressed this idea.

Luan Yun should have no relationship with the prince and Duke Meng.

The reason why the prince and Duke Meng are here is just for Meng Chao.

Meng Chao died, and naturally they couldn't bear this breath.

And Luan Yun was bullied by Zong Lin, so naturally he couldn't swallow it.

That's why they seemed to be standing in the same camp.

If he didn't let Zong Lin be punished, he might not be able to convince Luan Yun. If he couldn't convince Luan Yun, he wouldn't be able to completely conquer Luan Yun.

Xiao Guozhang's thoughts changed a thousand times in an instant.

Liang Yuhuang was a little impatient and put pressure on Xiao Guozhang: "Master Zhang, the matter has reached this level and the evidence is conclusive. Do you still choose to protect Zong Lin in full view of the public? ?”

"If you really do this, let alone Gu disagree, I'm afraid the people of Kyoto City, and even the people of Liang Kingdom, won't agree, right? I hope you won't do such a stupid thing."

Meng Qiu naturally echoed: "Zhang Xiao, you have to weigh it carefully. No matter what, the death of my sixth brother is inseparable from Zong Lin. If you really protect Zong Lin, I I will definitely fight you to the end and seek justice for my sixth brother."

"I, the Meng family, cannot be killed in vain by a slave of your father-in-law's house. If this spreads, wouldn't it tell the world that we, the Meng family, are allowed to be insulted by you at will? I still have this face. Can’t afford to lose it…”

For a time, pressure from several aspects made Xiao Guozhang breathless.

Zong Lin looked at Xiao Guozhang with some panic: "Master Guozhang..."

Xiao Guozhang closed his eyes, and finally made a decision while hesitating.

He cupped his fists and bowed towards Liang Yuhuang: "The old minister's lax governance has eventually led to such disasters. Your Highness can do whatever he wants. I don't have a problem with it. Just let your Highness handle it."

Zong Lin's face turned pale and he looked at Xiao Guozhang blankly.

He couldn't believe that Xiao Guozhang would give up on him so easily.

"Master Zhang, you can't do this to me. Over the years, I have worked hard for you, working like a cow or a horse. You can't give up on me so easily."

Xiao Guozhang's face was full of anger and he looked at Zong Lin coldly.

"You did something wrong yourself and killed someone you shouldn't have killed. Do you think I can protect you, a murderer, with my hands and eyes open to the sky?"

"Zong Lin, I have treated you well over the years. You have benefited a lot from doing things for me. There is mutual benefit between the two of us, and you have nothing to lose. Besides, killing for life, so many pairs of eyes are watching , how do you want me to protect you?"

Zong Lin shouted with shame and anger: "I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone. Lord Abbot, I was really wronged."

"You know, what is the purpose of all this I have done? If others don't understand my painstaking efforts, don't you understand too?"

Xiao Guozhang was stunned and looked at Zong Lin with somewhat complicated eyes.

Zong Lin had told him before that firstly, he wanted to test Luan Yun, and secondly, he wanted to use this to give the Meng family a blow.

Most of the reasons why he did this were because of him.

Yun Luan naturally noticed the changes in Xiao Guozhang's mood. How could she allow Zong Lin to make another comeback?

Therefore, she couldn't help but sneer and said: "Zong Lin, don't speak so nice and high-sounding. It seems that you are so loyal to the father-in-law... Ha, in fact, why are you targeting me like this? For the sake of the father-in-law, you are clearly doing it for your own selfish reasons."

"Look at me, the abbot, you are very frightened because you care about me so much. You are afraid that I will steal the favor of the abbot, and you are afraid that you will fall out of favor in front of the abbot. So you resorted to such a vicious trick. On the surface, you are thinking of the interests of the king, but in fact, your real purpose is to get rid of me through the hands of Mr. Meng Liu."

"This move of yours is very vicious. You didn't kill me directly, but you wanted to accuse me of killing Mr. Meng Liu. I completely lost my chance to stand out in front of the father-in-law. What a pity, you are so careful, how could you expect Miss Xueyan to tell the truth despite your threats."

The hesitation in Xiao Guozhang's eyes completely disappeared with Yun Luan's words.

He looked at Zong Lin with great indifference: "Zong Lin, what you did today really disappoints me. I didn't expect that you would be such a narrow-minded and intolerant person. Luan Yun's existence , there is no threat to your position at all, why do you dig your own grave like this and get to this point?"

"You kill to pay for your life. You should be responsible for your actions. Even if the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Zong Lin, I am not capable of exonerating you. You should accept the punishment of Liang Guo's legal system and let Mr. Meng Liu rest in peace."

Xiao Guozhang no longer looked at Zong Lin. He looked at Liang Yuhuang and said apologetically: "Your Highness, whatever crime Zong Lin has committed, you can deal with it. I will no longer interfere with his affairs. I will also If you have something to do, please leave for now."
