Xu Guogong originally thought that the emperor would not dare to touch the family at all.
No matter how scared he was, he never thought about life and death.
But at this moment, he was truly scared. The emperor and the eldest princess were obviously trying to eat people.
The Imperial Guards guarding outside pushed the door open with a bang, and rushed into the imperial study with knives and armors. The killing momentum frightened Duke Xu Guogong's thighs, and he fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise. Your Majesty, you are wise. I did not bomb the King of Nanhuai. It is really not me. No, I am also a victim. My mansion was also bombed today."
Before the emperor could speak, the eldest princess said sternly: "Your mansion was bombed, so I want to ask you, are there any casualties? How many casualties?"
Xu Guogong suddenly thought of sending a reply in person.
The sound is loud because it mainly blasts a big hole in the ground.
Some people suffered minor or serious injuries, but no one was killed.
There was such a big explosion, but no one died!
Xiao Yu was at the dock, and the entire dock was destroyed beyond recognition by the explosion. Xiao Yu and the prefect of Jinnan were both killed.
Duke Xu was frightened and said hurriedly: "Someone wants to harm me. I have been framed. Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, I have been framed. Someone wants to murder me."
It must be from other aristocratic families, it must be.
I have already promised the King of Nanhuai to reduce taxes, and I have already agreed, so how can I arrange for someone to blow up the King of Nanhuai?"
"Why is it impossible?" The emperor was angry and gave him a kick.
This kick was placed on the body of the noble family, and the emperor felt a different kind of excitement surge out of his body, mixed with anger, and he was swaying and hitting.
"Didn't you promise Yu'er on the surface, and then resort to such dirty tricks behind your back? As long as Yu'er is dead, no one will force you anymore."
"Your Majesty, I am wronged, I am really wronged!" Xu Guogong kowtowed to the ground with a bang. He never thought that he would be so servile and humble in front of the emperor, but it really happened.
He was deceived.
Became a scapegoat!
"Then how do you explain that there was an explosion in your house but no one died in your house? How do you explain that you arranged for someone to blow up my daughter-in-law!" the eldest princess asked angrily.
Xu Guogong felt aggrieved and depressed, "The explosion in my house mainly caused a hole in the ground."
The eldest princess sneered, "The explosion didn't blow up anyone, but it blew up a hole in the ground? This means that someone specifically wanted to blow up a hole in the ground of your house? Mr. Xu Guogong, even if you are looking for a reason, you can find a slightly more reasonable one.
Yes! You are too disrespectful of His Majesty."
"No, Your Majesty. I really don't know why, but I just blew up a hole in the mansion. As for the eldest princess, Her Royal Highness keeps saying that I arranged for someone to blow up the princess. Do you have any evidence?"
The expression on the eldest princess' face made her want to bite him to death.
"If there is no evidence, how dare I come to your Majesty's Majesty to ask for your decision?"
After speaking, the eldest princess looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty is aware that early this morning, Xu Guogong sent a steward to the winery. On the pretext of asking the princess to help check the wine samples, he secretly arranged for someone to plant black powder barrels near the winery."
Mr. Xu Guogong was dumbfounded, "I didn't."
"You really can't shed tears until you see the coffin, Your Majesty. At that time, the person Xu Guogong arranged to bury the black powder barrels was already captured by the guards at the winery. Now this person is outside the imperial study. Your Majesty has summoned him.
Just come in and ask and you will know.”
Duke Xu was shocked.
The emperor glared at him fiercely and said, "Bring the people in!"
The head chamberlain accepted the promise and turned to leave, but after a moment, a short and thin man came in.
The man was so frightened that he was shaking all over as he walked. He stepped into the door of the Imperial Study Room and almost fell to his knees. He barely managed to stand still, but after taking a few steps forward, he caught Xu Guogong's gaze and fell to his knees.
I fell down and my legs were so weak that I could no longer stand up.
"My lord, dare you say that this is not from your house?" the eldest princess asked.
Xu Guogong looked at the visitor in horror. This person was from his house. He himself remembered clearly that this person was in charge of the second carriage.
"You...you went to blow up the winery?" Xu Guogong looked at him and felt his temples twitching.
The man was shaking like chaff and couldn't say a word.
The eldest princess sneered, "My lord, at this time, when the stolen goods are proven and there is irrefutable proof, there is no need to act anymore!"
After the eldest princess finished speaking, she bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty!"
Seeing Xu Guogong's reaction, the emperor didn't understand anything. What's more, they didn't have any doubts about what the eldest princess said.
"Take him down to Duke Xu's mansion and search the house!"
The imperial army immediately detained Duke Xu and left.
Xu Guogong's face turned pale with fright, and he struggled and called for help, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I am..."
Seeing that calling for help to the emperor was in vain, he struggled and said to the man kneeling on the ground: "I never assigned you to blow up anyone. Whose order are you listening to?"
The man was kneeling on the ground, just trembling and saying nothing.
Xu Guogong had a ferocious face. As he was dragged away, he roared, "Xu Guogong's government treats you well. Why do you want to harm me? Who instigated you? Your Majesty, if I ordered someone to blow up a winery, I should also instruct someone with a strange face."
, I will never dig my own grave with a face that everyone knows."
He was about to be dragged out of the imperial study room.
"Don't forget, your whole family is in Duke Xu's Mansion. If Duke Xu's Mansion is confiscated and executed, not one of your family members will be able to escape, and they will all die along with them."
The kneeling man suddenly stiffened and looked up at the emperor in shock.
Xu Guogong followed: "Do you think you can take advantage of me because you killed my family? You are my family's slave and you will die with my family."
The man immediately looked horrified and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty clearly knows that it is, yes, the servant found by the steward of Duke Ningguo."
The imperial troops dragging Xu Guogong paused.
Xu Guogong jumped to his feet and yelled, "Ning Guogong, I am your ancestor!"
He is really going to explode!
Ning Guogong asked him to arrange Xiao Jiyuan, and he arranged Xiao Jiyuan. What was the result?
Ning Guogong said that he would take care of Xiao Yu for him, but what happened?
Use people from his family to take care of Xiao Yu for him?
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xu Guogong had a ferocious and angry face, "Your Majesty, it was Ning Guogong who harmed me, and I was unjustly accused. In addition, regarding the impersonation of Xiao Jiyuan, it was Ning Guogong who was instigating me from the beginning to the end.
It was because Concubine Zhen was favored by His Majesty that Duke Ning Guo felt that the status of the queen was not guaranteed, so he wanted to take control of the eldest princess's mansion and found the impostor pretending to be Xiao Jiyuan.
As for today’s explosion...
Because of the matter of impersonating Xiao Jiyuan, I was held accountable by the King of Nanhuai. I felt indignant and asked Duke Ning Guo to handle it. Ning Guogong promised that he would handle it, but I never expected that he would let me and the King of Nanhuai deal with it.
They're all dead!
Your Majesty, although I am guilty, my crime is not worthy of death. The one who really deserves to die is Duke Ning Guo."
The eldest princess's back, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed.
