After leaving the palace, Cang Qiao returned to Dongchang.
Xiao Qizi took his cloak, handed it to the little eunuch beside him, and whispered: "That man is making a big fuss. He wants to see you."
Cang Qiao paused while unbuttoning her collar and said calmly: "Let's go."
Xiao Qizi led him to a side room.
In the side room, a middle-aged man with a depressed face was tied up on a stool and his mouth was gagged.
Who else is Uncle Li Guo if he is not in prison for testifying before?
As soon as he saw Cang Qiao come in, he started squirming excitedly: "Woooooooo...!"
The black-clothed Tiqi guarding inside clasped his fists and said to Cang Qiao: "This man has a foul mouth, insults the governor, and is looking for death. The subordinates can only tie him here."
Cang Qiao sat down casually and motioned for someone to remove the veil that was blocking Uncle Li Guo's mouth: "What, Uncle Li Guo hasn't figured it out yet, does he still want to be loyal to the prince?"
Uncle Li Guo cursed loudly: "Cang Qiao, you are such a eunuch, you dare to kidnap me, and let someone pretend to be me to frame the prince in front of your majesty. If your majesty finds out, he will definitely punish your nine tribes!"
That's right, after Li Guojiu was kicked out by the prince that night, he was kidnapped by Cang Qiao's people before he could reach his own door.
During today's trial, Uncle Li Guo was an imposter! Didn't you expect that?!
Li Guojiu really didn't expect, no, even Manchao civil and military officials didn't expect that Cang Qiao would dare to be so bold and bold!
Moreover, Cang Qiao had someone tell him everything that happened during today's trial.
Uncle Li Guo almost lost his breath and vomited blood - he turned out to be the villain who "betrayed" his nephew!
Cang Qiao said slowly and calmly: "Perjury? Which of those mentioned today was not done by our crown prince?"
Uncle Li Guo choked: "You..."
He couldn't refute it, but...
Li Guojiu said angrily with a cold face: "I don't know what you are talking about, but if you send someone to pretend to be my uncle and give false testimony, the sky will strike like lightning!"
Cang Qiao drank tea leisurely: "Today in the hall, the Zhou family asked false witnesses to give perjury and tell lies; I just asked false witnesses, but to tell the truth and give real testimony, no matter how you hear it, I have a much nobler moral character.
"
He smiled slightly: "How can God be willing to strike me with thunder?"
Uncle Li Guo fell down in anger: "You, you, you... you are so shameless! Release my uncle now! My uncle wants to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Noble? Has integrity. Does this great eunuch have these two things?
Cang Qiao said calmly: "Uncle Li Guo, if you had not lost your official position and been abandoned by the prince, even if I had kidnapped you and asked someone to pretend to be you, there would be no one in the hall today.
I believe you will betray the prince."
Li Guojiu froze, and was deeply chilled by Cang Qiao's words that were like knives.
Cang Qiao: "I can let you out now. Do you think you can make it to the gate of the Prince's Mansion alive?"
Uncle Li Guo closed his eyes, feeling cold in his heart.
He is a smart man, how could he not know that the prince would not let him go, nor would he believe that he was being impersonated.
His nephew was cold-hearted, selfish, and most like Emperor Ming.
"Uncle Li Guo, you were indeed a talented person when you were in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Those who understand current affairs are outstanding. I don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately." Seeing that he didn't speak, Cang Qiao stood up and left.
Uncle Li Guo said sternly: "Cang Qiao, even if the prince disowns me, I will not be loyal to you, a gelding!"
Cang Qiao paused, smiled lightly, and left without caring.
"Master, do you want to go back to Concubine Ming's Mansion?" Xiao Qizi asked after leaving the door.
Cang Qiao paused, then placed his long finger on his collar, narrowed his eyes, and tugged lightly: "If you don't want to go, call her here."
Xiao Qizi was stunned for a moment, and then understood——
When I return to Concubine Ming's house, I will have to be a little scholar. After all, he promised the concubine that he will work for three months.
But these days, the situation was special, so the young empress allowed him to return to Dongchang.
But I obviously don’t want to be a little scholar today...
Xiao Qizi smacked her mouth, "Well, I wish you a lot of luck, little lady!"
