Chui Gong Hall.

Yang Zhen responded to Rao Huchen's questions honestly without any exaggeration.

He also knew that something big had happened.

But he couldn't hide it. He was not the only one who saw Li Xia last night. Dozens of people drank together. There was nothing he could do.

"And after that?"

"After that... I led the people to the wine warehouse to put out the fire. I really didn't know anything."

"Is that true?" Rao Huchen asked.

Yang Zhen quickly lowered his head and said, "That's true."

Rao Huchen turned around, turned to Jia Sidao, and asked, "How did Mr. Jia know about this?"

"The right minister said that." Jia Sidao said calmly.

Cheng Yuanfeng nodded helplessly.

Rao Huchen asked again: "But why could Prime Minister Jia testify against Li Xia in the first place?"

"I have a grudge against him, so I guessed it was him." Jia Sidao looked like a rogue and said, "After checking, it turned out to be the case. What does Rao Shenzheng think?"

"The evidence is still insufficient." Rao Huchen said sternly: "At the moment, we can only confirm that Li Xia led two hundred people into the palace to strengthen the defense. The scene was too chaotic and he was separated from Yang Zhen. But it can be said that what Li Xia did is what Yang Zhen did.

You can do whatever you want..."

Yang Zhen's face changed drastically, and he knelt down to Xie Daoqing in panic.

"Queen! I don't have it!"

"Get up, Sir, I'm just giving you an example."

This was not a court meeting, but a secret meeting. Everyone only talked about important matters, and soon no one cared about Yang Zhen anymore.

To investigate, we have to wait for the new emperor to succeed to the throne.

Rao Chentou then continued: "Xiang Jia can only speculate. If it is speculated that Li Xia can do it, all the guards and generals in the palace could do it last night."

Jia Sidao looked at Ye Mengding and raised his chin.

The meaning is very simple - "You tell me about Li Xia."

This was Jia Sidao's exchange for Ye Mengding.

He will no longer mention the case of King Rong, and will no longer frame Ye Mengding. Instead, Ye Mengding will confess that Li Xia sent people to encourage him to enter the palace.

Because officialdom is the biggest rule.

Now that the officialdom has collapsed, the situation is too easy to get out of control, so new rules must be established. Rao Huchen was the most fair, so this became the new rule.

It's not that Jia Sidao was afraid of Rao Huchen, on the contrary, he hated Rao Huchen.

I think that the other party only knows how to uphold justice all day long, but does not know how to adapt and speaks out to harm the country.

But this time, Jia Sidao was wronged. The official who trusted him was assassinated, and some people spread rumors and framed him.

In times of chaos, those who have been wronged need Rao Huchen to uphold justice and win back their reputation.

Rao Huchen is more serious and not as easy to fool as the officials.

Okay, then tell the facts and evidence.

The geese left their mark. After such a big incident, it was impossible for Li Xia not to leave traces behind.

…

Ye Mengding was still a little hesitant.

He knew that Jia Sidao would have to deal with him sooner or later.

But at least help King Zhong up first. Then he will be the emperor's master. Once you have a name, you can deal with Jia Sidao. Why worry?

As for the moment, the emperor's throne is vacant, and Jia Sidao has the strongest chancellor he has fought with, and he may actually support the clan at any time. Fortunately, he was persuaded by Cheng Yuanfeng and we can still have a good talk.

Then we can only sell Li Xia.

"Li Xia, indeed sent someone to contact..."

At this point, there was a sudden commotion outside the palace.

Ye Mengding faintly heard something, and immediately changed his face, turned around and shouted: "What happened?!"

After a while, a chamberlain came into the palace.

"Queen, the Sichuan envoy Li Xia is asking for an audience outside the palace gate. He must meet Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!" Some officials cried loudly, "He actually wants to see Your Majesty..."

"That's enough, stop howling, Ding Guoben, who are you howling for?"

"Isn't Li Xia coming to the palace?"

Xie Daoqing was startled, wiped away his tears quickly, and asked, "How do you think we should deal with this?"

Cheng Yuanfeng was even more tired, but he still spoke first and said: "I think it is appropriate to invite Li Xia into the palace alone to explain the facts clearly."

"No, just in case..."

"enough."

"I second the proposal." Rao Huchen also responded.

"What does Mr. Jia think?"

Jia Sidao glanced at Cheng Yuanfeng, knowing that Cheng Yuanfeng could not completely believe him without evidence.

"That's fine, but you have to search yourself carefully."

~~

Rao Huchen squinted his eyes and looked carefully at Li Xia who was walking towards the hall.

He also suspected that Li Xia had rebellious intentions, and afterwards he felt a little guilty about it.

The human heart is the most difficult to distinguish. Who can tell whether he is a loyal minister who has been framed or a traitor who is harboring evil intentions?

Duke Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne.

After looking at it for a long time, Li Xia's eyes were always calm and his steps were calm.

…

"Your Majesty, Li Xia, have you seen your majesty...is she the queen?"

"It's me."

"You traitor, come here! Why don't you take it down?!"

"..."

"stop!"

After a while of shouting, Cheng Yuanfeng stabilized the situation again.

"Everyone, shut up! Today is not a court meeting. Put away your tricks! Let's discuss the matter."

Jia Sidao had to participate in these shouts and shouts because some ministers were used to it. This kind of moment has not ended yet.

Rao Huchen, on the other hand, continued to scold the ministers, and finally said: "Are you afraid that he will rebel? If he is really a traitor, I will be the first to stop him!"

Only then did Li Xia ask: "I wonder what you guys mean?"

"Li Xia, I asked directly, did you enter the palace last night?"

"Hmm? I left Lin'an yesterday evening, and I'm just coming back now. Why have I ever entered the palace?"

"You still dare to quibble?! You and Yang Zhen drank at the church last night, and dozens of people saw you!"

Li Xia was surprised and said: "I left the city from Houchaomen yesterday evening, and thousands of people from Lin'an saw me with their own eyes. I just came back, and thousands of people saw me with their own eyes. How can I drink with Dingfan?"

Yang Zhen was stunned.

He opened his mouth and looked at Li Xia blankly.

Li Xia just shook her head slightly at him.

Yang Zhen was confused for a moment, then lowered his head and began to think to himself.

All the ministers looked at each other in confusion.

Rao Huchen said: "Yang Zhen, you..."

Jia Sidao said succinctly: "It's nothing more than an investigation. Please check with me."

Cheng Yuanfeng nodded, waved his hand, and an official left the palace to investigate.

Li Xia then looked at Jia Sidao.

This is the first time they have had close contact with each other since they had murderous intentions.

Jia Sidao thought for a while and asked personally: "Did you really leave Lin'an yesterday evening?"
