Zeng Yumeng didn't expect that the other party would see through these details at once, and hesitated for a long time.
After a while, she continued softly: "Actually, I remembered wrongly. This dress was given to me by a girl. I was out of vanity, so I kept wearing it."
"Haha, Miss Zeng, one lie requires countless lies to make up for it."
Lin Yiqiu grabbed her wrist and lifted it up!
"you!"
Zeng Yumeng looked ashamed and angry.
Lin Yiqiu didn't care about his reaction,
His right hand had already gently touched the bracelet, and he said with a smile: "Miss Zeng, this bracelet really matches you!"
"what do you mean?"
Zeng Yumeng was immediately surprised!
He didn't expect that the other party would observe the thing in her hand so quickly!
Lin Yiqiu continued: "You said this dress was given to you by another girl. Could it be that this bracelet is also given to you?"
"The price of this fine white jade bracelet is at least five hundred taels!"
"You are a maid, and you are wearing a bracelet worth five hundred taels on your hand! It's really surprising!"
As he spoke, Lin Yiqiu's eyes continued to press forward.
Zeng Yumeng could not refute, he could only lower his head and dare not speak.
At this time, the ministers in the court also believed that there was a problem here.
"Yes, how could a maid wear such an expensive bracelet?"
"Five hundred taels! It's higher than my salary!"
"This guy is definitely not a maid! No! Even the oiran of Jade Tower is not that rich!"
Waves of discussion continued.
Not far away, Pei Tianlin's face also became extremely dark.
Lin Yiqiu's observation ability really exceeded his cognition.
In just a few words, he explained all the doubts about Zeng Yumeng!
At this time, Emperor Wu's face was also slightly angry.
"Zeng Yumeng! You wear a five hundred tael bracelet on your hand, and you still talk about your maid! This is really the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
The tone was slightly angry, and Zeng Yumeng was instantly frightened.
But Lin Yiqiu continued.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry, this bracelet is actually not that simple."
"not that simple?"
Emperor Wu looked confused.
Lin Yiqiu nodded.
Then, he passed his hand across the other person's wrist and twisted it gently!
He took off the bracelet directly from Zeng Yumeng's wrist.
"You! What are you going to do?"
Zeng Yumeng was a little impatient and immediately went to grab it!
But Lin Yiqiu restrained her with one hand, preventing her from making any movement at all!
Then, he threw the bracelet into Cang Hong's hand with his backhand!
Cang Hong caught it steadily and looked at it a few times.
Lin Yiqiu said: "Miss Xia, look at this bracelet, are you familiar with it?"
"familiar?"
Xia Nianqiao looked confused.
I took the bracelet and looked at it carefully. After a while, I was surprised!
"This...this bracelet is my Xia Mansion's bracelet!"
At this moment, comparing it with the bracelet on my right hand, it turned out to be exactly the same!
It even has the character Xia carved in Chinese characters!
"Xia Mansion's bracelet? What's going on?"
"Oh my God! I'm so confused!"
All the ministers became more and more confused.
Emperor Wu also felt so. This little maid seemed to be carrying many secrets!
Xia Nianqiao's face turned cold at this moment.
Standing up, she asked Zeng Yumeng: "These bracelets are a perfect match. My father bought them back in the Western Regions! My relatives specially engraved them on them!"
"One of them is in my hand, and the other is given to my brother!"
"Tell me! Why are you wearing my brother's things? What on earth did you do to him?"
Xia Nianqiao was furious!
At this moment, if she hadn't cared about Emperor Wu's face, she would have pulled out her sword and killed Zeng Yumeng directly!
Lin Yiqiu waved his hand to signal Xia Nianqiao not to be so angry.
And his eyes were also on Zeng Yumeng, and he continued to look at her.
"Miss Zeng, do you want to continue lying?"
"me...."
Zeng Yumeng didn't know how to answer.
Then, Lin Yiqiu came close to her face and whispered a few words in her ear.
Zeng Yumeng's expression suddenly changed, and he was in disbelief.
Emperor Wu was very curious.
"President Lin, what are you talking about?"
Lin Yiqiu turned around and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I just told Zeng Gu Niang that lying in front of the emperor will be the crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the family, so let her think about it carefully!"
After Lin Yiqiu finished speaking, Zeng Yumeng immediately fell to his knees.
"Ms. Zeng Gu, let me ask you, did you really hear what Xia Lingfeng said about stealing Wu Kingdom's secrets?"
"me..."
Zeng Yumeng frowned.
After a while, I heard her gritting her teeth and speaking.
"The civilian girl didn't hear anything...she must have heard wrongly at that time!"
"Asshole! You woman! How dare you talk nonsense!"
Li Xiaohua was instantly furious and pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand!
When Emperor Wu saw this, he was furious!
"Vice Commander Li! What do you want to do?"
"You look so arrogant, are you going to kill someone in front of me?"
"I...I don't dare!"
Li Xiaohua quickly lowered her head to apologize.
Emperor Wu snorted coldly, then his expression changed instantly and he looked at the abbot Pei Tianlin.
"Master Zhang, since we can't prove that Xia Lingfeng is a craftsman, it's better to let him go."
"This hostage exchange is what we promised. If we go back on it, it will be detrimental to the credibility of our country, Wu."
This sentence can be regarded as an order from Emperor Wu!
All eyes were focused on Pei Tianlin at this moment.
However, after a long while, Pei Tianlin's face turned serious and he said, "Your Majesty, what if I don't agree?"
"Don't agree? This..."
Emperor Wu was not angry, but looked embarrassed.
Lin Yiqiu was not surprised at all.
"My lord, are you determined to disobey the emperor's will?"
Asked in a cold voice.
Pei Tianlin did not answer at all and continued: "Your Majesty, it is impossible for me to release the person until the things are found out! Your Majesty, please stop asking about this matter!"
That tone was simply rebellious to the extreme.
Emperor Wu just smiled and said: "The abbot said this, so naturally he has deep meaning. Well, Governor Lin, there is nothing I can do about this matter."
"Then today's banquet ends here. After the emperor has thought clearly about it, it won't be too late to release him, but Governor Lin may need to wait."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little eunuch next to him was already shouting at the top of his voice.
"The banquet is over, retreat from the court!"
Emperor Wu continued to look at Lin Yiqiu and said with a smile: "President Lin, your talent and learning are truly earth-shattering. I like it very much."
"Although the banquet is over, I really want to spend some time with Governor Lin. How about Governor Lin staying here and writing more poems with me to relieve my boredom?"
Before Lin Yiqiu could respond, Pei Tianlin took a step forward!
Now he speaks out again!
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't agree to this matter!" This chapter has been completed!
