Chapter 263 - Group Pinch
When Yin Xu returned to the manor, he did not see Teng Yu. Instead, he met with a few men dressed like scholars.
The leader was already an old man in his sixties. Seeing Yin Xu not only did not bow, but he also snorted with an ugly expression.
Yin Xu had seen some of these people before, but he remembered that they treated him quite well previously, so why would they treat him as their enemy when they heard the order to grant marriage?
“Seventh Young Master, why don't you think about it for your highness?” When the old man spoke, he immediately charged forward.
Yin Xu originally did not want to bother with them, but after hearing this he stopped and asked: “What do you think?”
“Your Highness has great talent. In the future, you will definitely become an enlightened master, but because of you, you ruined the life of everyone under the heavens. Aren't you ashamed?”
“Wait! What do you mean by ‘because of me, I ruined the life of the world'? Could it be that with me here, he's no longer an enlightened master? And his talent disappears? “
The old man was so angry that his chest was moving up and down as he pointed at Yin Xu and lectured him, “If Your Highness wants to marry you, then it's fine if he wants to marry a man, but the imperial edict says that he can't have any sons in this lifetime.
“It's also his business to cut off all descendants. If he doesn't have any objections, then why are you in such a hurry?”
“How can I not be anxious? We, the people, have been diligently planning for His Highness, and seeing that his success is at hand, but because all of your efforts have been in vain, this old one's life can be considered to have gone to waste! “
“Why did it go to waste? “It's good that you don't have a son. Having more sons is also troublesome.” Yin Xu shrugged his shoulders, not caring in the slightest.
Seeing that the old man was about to collapse while clutching his chest, Yin Xu then laughed, “Aren't you guys leaving? Then quickly, you guys won't be able to see the situation clearly.
“You ...”
“What about me? “Don't think that just because you're old this young master doesn't dare to beat me up.” Yin Xu gestured with his fist, immediately scaring everyone away.
The old man suddenly turned around, knelt on the ground and wailed, “Your Highness, you must open your eyes and see. For such an ignorant disaster, you made a mistake, you will regret it! You will definitely regret it! “
Han Sen immediately got people to stop him from talking, and quickly brought him away, if he continued to make a ruckus like this, perhaps even the people outside would hear about it.
Yin Xu curled his lips, and watched them leave. He had a burst of anger in his heart, and was prepared to settle the score with Teng Yu.
Just as he turned a corner, he saw Teng Yu leaning on a pillar of the corridor, smiling at him.
Yin Xu passed through the flower garden with both hands on the fence as he jumped, and the moment he landed, he was carried by Teng Yu.
“I thought you were going to kill those people on the spot.” Teng Yu rested his chin on Yin Xu's shoulder, a stern look flashed past his eyes.
“Am I really that stupid?” Yin Xu was obviously brooding over the disaster of being scolded as senseless.
He had lived for thousands of years, and this was the first time he had not retaliated even after being scolded at. Even he himself couldn't help but to admire such magnanimity.
“How could that be? My wife is the most sensible person. Even if you kill them all on the spot, you will still take care of it. “
Without the emperor's label of “forming a clique”, their career had come to an end.
The emperor felt a headache coming on. He pointed to a man wearing a blue robe and asked, “You, were you the one who impeached the Marshal Huo in the past?”
The official's body trembled as he knelt on the ground, trembling. “Yes ...” “It's this old official!”
“Alright, let's do it one by one. Since you all said that there's evidence, then go and find it for me to see. We'll start with you!”
The official remembered Yun Heran's words and said with his head lowered, “Your Majesty, the evidence must be in the Huo Family. Please pass down an order to search the Marshal Huo's Residence!”
“Hiss ...” Many people took in a breath of cold air. How could the Marshal Huo Palace be searched so easily? Even if he did not find any evidence, it would cause his Huo Family to lose face.
“Is this what you call evidence? You mean let me look for it myself? Just because of a single empty word of yours? ” The Emperor didn't expect these people to be so useless that they didn't even know how to speak.
“No ...” No, not empty words! Your Majesty, please forgive my apologies. This humble subject has evidence that this is a letter sent between Marshal Huo and the Northern Barbarians' general. This humble subject thinks that it would be more believable if I could find this letter from the Marshal's Mansion. “
The emperor's eyes flickered. “Hand over your evidence first. We have our own opinions on what to do!”
When that official handed over a letter, many people's expressions changed.
“There really is one ...”
“Impossible ...”
“Most likely, it's fake ...”
“He dares? “That is the crime of deceiving the monarch ...”
The officials discussed in hushed tones as they secretly glanced at the emperor's expression, trying to see through him.
Yin Xu and Teng Yu exchanged glances, and seeing that the other party was shaking his head at him with a calm expression, he decided to continue watching the show.
Then, he had Chief Minister Qu pass the letter down for everyone to pass around. He even went to find Huo Zhengquan's former Advice Letter and had the Wen Pavilion Grand Scholar check his handwriting.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, the handwriting is ninety percent similar. It should be from the same person, but there are quite a few people in this world who can imitate handwriting.” With a little conscience, the Grand Scholar Wen Jiabao added the following sentence.
Yin Xu still had a little impression of this scholar, he seemed to be the one who had enmity with Yun Family, so it wasn't hard to understand that he was willing to stand on Huo Family's side.
“Don't tell me that even the same handwriting can't be used as evidence? Then wouldn't anyone dare to casually write letters to the enemy to sell their country? In any case, it can be said that someone wrote it on behalf of someone. “
The emperor's hand grasped the handle of the dragon throne as he calmly asked, “Do you know of any extraordinary person in this world that is adept in this way?”
“This... This humble subject does not know. ” The man bowed his head and answered.
“Since you do not know, then there is no way to use it as evidence to refute. However, we will not make a decision based on a piece of paper and send our people to search through Huo Mansion, does Huo Aiqing have any objections?”
Huo Zhengquan would naturally not retort, “This subject has no objections.”
