Chapter 814 Hanging the Nobleman

Dong Lin is not like some beautiful but brainless women, who only knows how to flatter the emperor. She also knows some politics. She once advised her father not to be too hasty. Even Dong Lin could see that Dong Cheng was not strong enough to overthrow Cao Zhi, but Dong Cheng just didn't give up. He thought that it was the best time to plan everything while Cao Zhi was not in Xudu.

Dong Lin is not only a smart woman, but also a filial daughter. Because she could not resist her father Dong Cheng, she had to do it.

At this time, Dong Lin saw Emperor Xian's eyes and understood that the truth was revealed. It seemed that she would be sacrificed by the emperor to protect herself.

Dong Lin, who thought it through, was no longer afraid. She accepted the expression and words she had planned to beg, and slowly straightened up, and said firmly: "No! Everything is done by my concubine and has nothing to do with my father! If the emperor wants to punish me now, I will punish me. Those adults and fathers do this for the sake of the emperor and to revive the country. They have no selfishness. Please let them go for the sake of my concubine!"

"Hahaha... you are really my favorite concubine." Emperor Xian Liu Xie suddenly changed his voice and became gentle. He seemed to have not taken Dong Lin's kindness seriously, causing the kneeling Concubine Dong to tremble all over. She knew that once Emperor Liu Xie spoke in this tone, someone would have to fall to the ground. The lighter punishment she had originally thought was sent to the cold palace, and it seemed that there was no hope!

"I deserve to die for most of my crimes. I don't ask the emperor for forgiveness, I just want the emperor to protect my family!" Dong Lin, who made up her mind to do things and behaved one by one, couldn't stop her tears slowly slid down her cheeks, and her delicate body was trembling and was about to lie on the ground.

Emperor Xian couldn't bear it. Although there were only a few eunuchs, him and Dong Lin in this palace, Emperor Xian knew that behind the curtain, there were pairs of ears and eyes staring at him. Liu Xie did not dare to talk too much sympathy. This was the only chance he could keep everything he had and could reverse the current crisis. Liu Xie choked up and shed tears with Guiren Dong for a while. After a while, he gently fell into Dong Lin's ear and whispered: "My beloved concubine, don't blame me, I can't do anything! However, I definitely can't accept anything for you, and even if I agree, I may not be able to do it. But I will definitely help you plead with Doctor Cao!"

When Concubine Dong heard that even Liu Xie could not protect her family, she suddenly widened her eyes in fear and collapsed on the ground.

"Come here, take Guiren Dong down, and send him to the cold palace and wait for the treatment! No one is allowed to contact him!" After Liu Xie finished speaking in Dong Lin's ear, he suddenly became very calm when he stood up again, but he sentenced the fate of Guiren Dong, who was once above ten thousand people.

For a moment, Concubine Dong cried so hard. She didn't expect that Emperor Xian Liu Xie, who was so fond of her, was so heartless when it was time to be heartless and didn't even want to say a word of comfort. She was ready to be sacrificed, but Liu Xie could not even agree to her request to protect her family in the end. Concubine Dong was really heartbroken. When a woman was extremely disappointed with her man, it seemed as if the sky had collapsed.

Dong Lin felt that her heart was broken into countless pieces at this time. Dong Lin, who was desperate, ran out of the palace with tears. Then, in Li Rushan's shouting "Long live, long live!", Liu Xie immediately drafted the imperial edict to give Concubine Dong three feet of white silk to hang himself, and prepared to issue another edict tomorrow.

Then, under the instruction of Li Ru, Liu Xie wrote an order to approve the arrest of Dong Cheng and others. In order to cater to Cao Zhi, Liu Xie determined the crimes of Dong Cheng and others without seeing any evidence. In other words, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Li Ru and Cao Zhi who were left by Cao Zhi in the capital shocked the emperor and dealt with a group of rebels who attempted to be unfavorable to Cao Zhi.

But this was just Li Ru's idea when he got the imperial edicts of six tribes including Yi Dong Cheng, Zhao Yan, Ji Ping. When he came to Dong's mansion with the imperial edict, he realized that they still couldn't do it without Cao Zhi's backbone.

#######Bang! A huge vase was thrown out and smashed. Dong Cheng's face twitched violently, that was the only one in the world...

Cao's soldiers searched all the way through the huge Dong Mansion, rumbling through boxes and cabinets, and there were loud noises everywhere. It seemed that these people were not here to search for evidence, but to simply do damage!

Bang!

Bang……

"Dong Cheng is also tactful! He deliberately pretended not to know that Jia Xu and the others were here to cause trouble! He simply looked at it for a while!" A person in a secluded carriage outside Dong's mansion couldn't help but smile.

Nearly a thousand soldiers rushed into the Dong family, as if they had attacked the enemy's city during war, falling and smashing, even more than the locusts crossing the border. The Dong family gathered in the yard and watched, and their hearts were bleeding.

That... it's all their belongings!

Cao Zhi, who was outside the mansion, looked for a while, closed his eyes slightly, and whispered: "Nothing should happen. Jia Xu and the others are waiting for the imperial edict!" After Cao Zhi murmured to himself, he put down the curtain, leaned on the soft seat, closed his eyes and rested. Because he had already understood Jia Xu's plan for the whole market, he was thinking about when he should make the stage, which was the most suitable one.

At this time, the search operation in the Dong Mansion was still continuing. Obviously, the Cao army soldiers who were assigned to the Dong Mansion to search had already understood what Jia Xu meant. They were just delaying the time and falling everywhere. When the imperial edict arrived, their mission was completed.

"Yeah! I want to see, after such a disturbance, which wealthy family in the capital dares to stand on the sidelines?" Cao Zhi, who heard these movements, smiled and muttered in the carriage, was also appreciating the benefits that Jia Xu would bring to him in the political circle.

It is not that you are not allowed to fight, but you must control the internal struggle between small areas, and shout a few words of politeness, which is not in line with the ancestral system. But if it is to endanger Cao Zhi's rule over this country, then today's experience of Dong Cheng is a... warning!

"Report... General, no discovery..." Xu Zhu's deputy general Xu Chi was the first to report to Xu Zhu. Next, the generals and officials who led the team came to report to Xu Zhu one after another. They summarized the reports from all directions of the Dong Mansion, but found no evidence that Dong Cheng was preparing to assassinate Cao Zhi.

Jia Xu frowned and cursed: "How come these idiots can't find any clues, and they won't delay time! Li Ru is dating on something. It's almost dawn, why haven't he received the imperial edict yet?"

Just as Jia Xu was cursing secretly, Dong Cheng silently beat his waist and stood up from the ground with difficulty. The anger, vicious look in his eyes and a little luck flashed away. Dong Cheng, who had put on his clothes, still maintained a gentle attitude, walked towards Jia Xu and others with a humble smile, and said, "Shangshu Xun, Lord Jia, what do you say now? Can we go to the palace together to meet the saint and let the emperor sage a saint?"

After Dong Cheng said that, he stared at Jia Xu and suddenly opened his eyes, which made Jia Xu feel an invisible pressure inexplicably. Then Jia Xu, who was speechless, simply turned his head and ignored Dong Cheng.

Faced with Jia Xu's cold turn, Dong Cheng was angry and said sarcastically: "Mr. Jia, you have never let down your reputation. You are so playful. No one in this world can match you... But now I think I have to add one. This shameless person is probably the best in the world!"

Jia Xu's beard was trembling with anger. The irony of Dong Cheng's words was already very obvious! Although Jia Xu was famous for his strategy, many people called him a "poisoner" behind his back, no one dared to scold him like this in front of him.

I instantly understood Dong Cheng's intention, and his face changed and he was about to attack.

At this moment, a rush of horse hooves and a loud scream cut through the darkness before dawn:

"The imperial edict has arrived..."

Hearing Li Ru's cry, Jia Xu and Xun Yu looked at each other and were happy, and they also breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally here!"

When everyone turned their eyes to the door behind them, Dong Cheng lowered his head and smiled gloomyly: "Hmph, if the emperor was not in your hands today, who would have killed him now? But before I die, I must drag you to bury him with me!"

Just as Jia Xu and others focused on the upcoming imperial edict, Dong Cheng inexplicably glanced at Xu Chi, the deputy general standing beside Xu Zhu.

The latter did not focus on the imperial edict that was about to enter the door at this time. He stood beside Xu Zhu, but his face was looking at Dong Cheng. But no one noticed his strange behavior now.

If Xu Zhuneng pays attention to this particularly calm deputy general in normal times, he will find some clues. Because with his calmness, he is definitely not a simple person! He is probably a ruthless character who can kill people!

"Dong accepts the order..."

Dong Cheng listened to the familiar opening remark and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Liu Xie, Liu Xie, if I hadn't rescued you from Chang'an, I'm afraid you would have been a prisoner of Li Jue and others! I didn't expect that I would marry my daughter to you and would have spent my whole life assisting you, but you treated me like this!

Dong Cheng didn't have to listen to the imperial edict to know that Liu Xie must have turned to Cao Zhi's side in order to protect him. Dong Cheng knew that he had been sold, and Dong Cheng was ready to fight to the death.

"...Dong Cheng conspired to assassinate the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty, General of the Cheqi and Cavalry, and Cao Zhi, the Marquis of Qiao Township, and the crime is extremely evil and cannot be forgiven..."

Dong Cheng listened to the imperial edict that Li Ru was reading without a word. The whole person kneeling on the ground had already put away the unbearable appearance that even Jia Xu could kick him down. He clenched his fists and was gathering his strength secretly, preparing to give it a try.

"The person who came... took down this traitor..."

After hearing Xu Zhuyi and Li Ru finished reading the imperial edict, he rushed to close the net and shouted loudly. His deputy general Xu Chi also looked very positive. Xu Zhuyi announced the order, and he led a team of soldiers behind Xu Zhu with his knife and ran to Dong Cheng and others, as if he was ready to take the people.
