Chapter 582 The General Was Rescued (57)
There were executioners guarding the door, and the two women with weapons in the Golden Palace were obviously "crazy".
Of course they knew that it was impossible for Xue Asi and Luo Yue alone to kill such a large group of people, but who was willing to take the lead?
A "highly powerful" eunuch has already died, so wouldn't they want to test the speed of these two women's weapons?
At this moment, a young official came out from behind and took the paper from Xue Asi's hand.
After the first one, there was the second one, and then more and more people came out to get the "evidence".
But the people who received these notes were soon dumbfounded. Where was the evidence? It was clear that all it said from beginning to end was that the prince deserved to die.
"Read! Read to this general everything he has done!" Xue Asi was seen holding a sharp sword dripping with blood, with the tip of the sword pointing to the ground.
Luo Yue sneered at the group of ministers who were as silent as a cicada in front of him: "Why? Aren't you all eloquent on weekdays? Now you have become mute? Do you really not know what he did?"
After a moment's silence, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd: "I'll read it!"
The person who spoke was the young man who was the first to rush forward and pick up the paper.
His eyes were slightly red at this time, and his fingers holding the paper turned slightly white due to the force. He cleared his throat and said loudly: "The prince disregarded etiquette and openly robbed someone else's wife..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone present gasped and looked shocked.
Although this is something that many people know, is it really okay to bring it up in this situation?
Besides, there is no crime committed by the prince on this paper! It shouldn't matter if it's just some trivial things!
Is it necessary to be so explosive right from the start? This is something I won’t be able to do in the future, right?
Just as everyone was stunned, a minister who was obviously older also stood up and said, "The prince robbed my daughter in the street. Unfortunately, my daughter had just reached the age of marriage when she entered the prince's mansion, and died for no reason within three months."
"What else? Don't stop, keep talking!" Xue Asi's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes were as cold as ice. "Tell me something that no one has heard of, something that is a serious crime."
With the beginning of these two people, another person came out at this time. He took a deep breath and said: "The prince also embezzled and misappropriated the official silver for building the canal, causing many civilians who participated in the labor to live in poverty and receive very poor treatment. Some of the weak ones even lost their lives because of this..."
More and more people came to make proofs, and many people who had grudges against the crown prince came out, including someone who knew the truth of the past: "When the crown prince was still the third prince, he was the one who instigated the conflict between the second prince and the former crown prince.
Even the Second Prince's attempt to abdicate was instigated by someone he arranged. In order to avoid being embarrassed when the truth came out, he also had someone put the dragon robe in the Crown Prince's mansion."
At this time, the faction supporting the prince could no longer sit still.
An old official stood up and shouted, "You are slandering me! There is no such writing on the paper. You are just making it up!"
Those who revealed the truth seemed to no longer be afraid, and said out loud what they dared not say on ordinary days: "Although there is no word on paper, the prince's crimes have long been exposed and known to everyone. Today we are just telling the truth."
Xue Asi handed the remaining papers to Luo Yue beside him and said loudly: "Xiao Yue, look, as long as I am strong enough, there will be great scholars to debate for me. What difference does it make whether these papers are written or not?"
"Xiao He, stop making trouble." Huo Yuan felt that the commotion was a bit too much this time, so he spoke up to stop them. "The situation is clear now. I believe His Majesty will make the right decision."
At this time, Huo Yuan still thought that the swordsman at the door was his own man.
Xue Asi just glanced at him and said, "Go on! The prince hasn't finished talking about his crimes yet!"
As charges were revealed one by one, the faces of the ministers became paler and paler, cold sweat dripped down their foreheads, and the entire court was filled with a suffocatingly tense atmosphere.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Huo Yuan finally took action. His idea was simple - as long as he could take away the weapons of these two men, everything would be over.
Huo Yuan took a quick step forward and was about to snatch the sword from Xue Asi's hand.
Xue Asi dodged deftly and began to count: "Three, two, one!"
As she finished counting these numbers, Huo Yuan's head and shoulders began to ache.
The sudden pain almost made Huo Yuan unable to stand, let alone snatch the sword from Xue Asi's hand.
"Do you think I asked them to tell the Crown Prince's crimes here just for revenge?" Xue Asi looked at Huo Yuan, who was squatting on the ground and unable to get up. "I'm stalling for time until your painkillers wear off."
