Chapter 103: Doing the opposite
The next day, Qingzhou Prison.
Xiao Ming took Princess Pingyang to personally interrogate the Wang family’s father and son.
At this time, Xiao Ming asked Lu Fei to ask Wang Xuan to come out of the prison to meet the Wang family’s father and son.
In the Qingzhou Prefecture, Xiao Ming sat in the main seat and Princess Pingyang sat on one side.
"Wang Chengchou, Wang Shijie, you two are guilty!" In the government office, Wang Shijie and Wang Xuan knelt on the ground at the same time.
Wang Chengchou was shocked to see Wang Xuan. He came to his senses and looked at Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, what is the crime of the people?"
"Your Highness the Princess, my father and son are really wronged." Wang Shijie kept kowtowing. They now knew that they were involved in Wang Xuan's assassination of the princess.
At this time, Wang Chengchou had already understood, and Xiao Ming finally took action against the Wang family. He smiled bitterly in his heart, but he did not expect that the arrival of the princess became a death talisman for their Wang family.
"You both said they were wronged, so do you know this person?" Princess Pingyang asked in a solemn voice.
Wang Chengchou looked at Wang Xuan who had been tortured, and knew that he could not deny this fact at this time, so he said, "I know, this person is Wang Xuan, and he is Cao Min's nephew. He was beaten to death by Cao Min three months ago when he violated the Qingzhou law. Cao Min didn't know why he was still alive?"
When he said this, Wang Chengchou looked at Xiao Ming.
"King of Qi, is there any such thing?" Pingyang asked.
Xiao Ming nodded, "That's true. Wang Yuanwai once said that the Wang family had privately harbored oxen. However, his nephew thought that Wang Yuanwai was a local clan, so he asked him to deal with it by himself. As for how Wang Yuanwai dealt with it, his nephew didn't know."
Princess Pingyang was used to being intrigue and intrigue in Chang'an City. Wang Xuan was not favored by the Wang family, so how could he be so bold and arrogant to hide the plowing ox?
Wang Xuan was obviously a scapegoat in this matter, and Wang Chengchou was clearly fooling Xiao Ming.
If it were other vassal kings, they would probably have to punish the king and conquer him. Xiao Ming did not care, obviously he was worried. From this, he saw that the Wang family was really bold in Qingzhou.
She originally didn't believe that the Wang family would do this, but now her thoughts are a little loose. A local wealthy family actually despises the prince so much. What should she do as a princess, and this wealthy family?
After thinking for a while, Princess Pingyang said sternly: "You don't know why he is still alive. Do I know? Humph, a little wealthy clan is so bold. Do you really think that my Dayu royal family is so easy to bully? Xiao Ming, what should I be punished for assassinating me?"
"If it is true, the whole family will be killed and implicated in the nine tribes." Xiao Ming said softly.
Wang Chengchou was shocked. His words just now were directed at Xiao Ming, not against Princess Pingyang. He said anxiously: "Your Highness Princess, Cao Min really doesn't know how Wang Xuan can still be alive. Moreover, Wang Xuan is a bastard born to my second brother and a bitch. If I want to assassinate the princess, how could he let him go? Moreover, what is the benefit of Cao Min's assassination of the princess for my Wang family? Please ask Your Highness the Princess to take a clear look and don't be used."
Wang Xuan, who was lying on the ground, coughed violently a few times at this time and said hoarsely: "Your Highness, I do things alone and do them alone. This matter has nothing to do with the Wang family, but the King of Qi ordered me to do it, in order to get rid of the Wang family."
Xiao Ming's expression changed drastically and he said angrily: "I am talking nonsense, how could I instruct you to assassinate my aunt?"
"Haha, Your Highness, although I am not favored by the Wang family, I am also from the Wang family. How could I harm the Wang family so much? I have been in the prison until now, just to expose you in person and let Your Highness see your true face clearly."
"You..." Xiao Ming pointed at Wang Xuan, "Arrogant thief, where is Lu Fei?"
"The last one is here!" Lu Fei replied.
"Sustaining the Great Suppression, I see if he tells the truth." Xiao Ming jumped and furious.
This sudden change made Princess Pingyang a little at a loss. Ouyang Mu also looked strange, but Wang Chengchou was ashamed at this time.
"I have heard of Wang Yuanwai's resourcefulness for a long time. This trick is really exciting today." Princess Pingyang seemed to realize it after a brief shock.
She walked to the father and son of the Wang family and said, "Although I am in Chang'an, I have some understanding of the Qingzhou affairs. In the past five years, your Wang family has been self-reliant as a local clan and does not take the King of Qi seriously. Now seeing the King of Qi working hard to govern, I am afraid that the King of Qi will liquidate your Wang family in the future. So when I go to Qingzhou, I took advantage of this hard work to frame the King of Qi and let the emperor eliminate the position of the King of Qi, so your Wang family can be safe, right?"
"Your Highness, this is definitely not the case. This Wang Xuan said nonsense." Wang Chengchou shouted at the top of his lungs.
When Wang Xuan framed King Qi, he understood that if Wang Xuan insisted that it was the Wang family, Princess Pingyang would have suspected that it was Xiao Ming's secret command.
But Wang Xuan now insisted that it was King Qi. With Princess Pingyang's intelligence, he would only think too much and end up being in a bad way. In the end, he decided that it was done by the Wang family.
"Hmph, Hei is what you said, Bai is what you said, so what I asked you about Wang Xuan's words is true and that sentence is false." Princess Pingyang snorted.
Wang Shijie was so scared that his limbs were limp. If he was convicted, he would not be able to escape death. He shouted: "Your Highness, what Wang Xuan said is the truth. This matter has nothing to do with my Wang family."
"Shut up!" Wang Chengchou was shocked and angry, and pushed Wang Shijie.
Wang Shijie was also anxious and shouted to Wang Chengchou: "Dad, we didn't do this at all. It must be the King of Qi who was framed by us. Wang Xuan was right. He is also a member of the Wang family and would not harm us."
A smile surged on Xiao Ming's lips, there was no need to say much about this matter.
Ouyang Mu said to Princess Pingyang at this time: "Your Highness, it is obvious that the Wang family's father and son are lying. How could a person who was almost beaten to death by Wang Chengchou still talk to them? The only explanation is that Wang Xuan was originally the Wang family's secret chess. Wang Xuan and their father and son are actually birds of a feather, in order to frame the King of Qi."
Princess Pingyang nodded and turned to ask Xiao Ming: "King Qi, what do you think about this?"
"Aunt, if something happened to you in your nephew's fief, no matter who did it, with your father's personality, your nephew would probably be deprived of the position of vassal king. Although your nephew is dull, he is not so stupid." Xiao Ming said lightly: "What's the point of assassinating my aunt?"
"Auntie believes in you." Princess Pingyang looked at the Wang family's father and son, "Since that's the case, the Wang family will leave you with the disposal. Ouyang Mu, come and assist King Qi."
"Thank you aunt." Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Chengchou and Wang Shijie.
