Pei Yuanhao picked up the two pieces of paper on the table and looked at it, then sneered: "You can make up such an anti-song, and make people sing everywhere. If you collude with the rebels outside the city, if you are more attentive... Uncle Yang, then will you have to sit on my throne?"

General Deng suddenly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, this - this anti-song is not what the criminals did."

At this time, I was also angry and couldn't help but interrupt and said, "You still dare to argue?"

General Deng was already at a loss, and his eyes were red at this time, and he pointed at me and said, "Don't swear by others! Your Majesty, this is really not what I did. Even if the criminals have the courage to do such things, they will not dare to do such a thing to commit rebellion!"

“…”

"Emperor! The Emperor's clarification!"

“…”

"The criminal minister was indeed obsessed with it for a moment. He wanted to use this thing to make the emperor - the emperor, it is true that Liu Qinghan is rebellious - I, I admit that those rumors were spread by me, and those papers were also made by my people. But I did this just to make the emperor hate Liu Qinghan more and see his behavior more clearly. However, the criminal minister would never dare to commit such a thing as a rebellion."

“…”

"Please give a clear explanation!"

Pei Yuanhao frowned slightly.

I listened by the side, and my brows slowly frowned.

He looked at the two pieces of paper in his hand, then looked at General Deng's forehead that had broken skin, and then said, "You said, this thing was not what you did?"

"Emperor, the sinner has been protecting the emperor all the way. The song was passed from the capital. How could the sinner participate?"

"What do you want to explain this thing?"

"The criminal...the criminal just hopes that the emperor can, can...the criminal again."

“…”

"However, the criminal minister just wanted to make meritorious service for the emperor, and just wanted to expel traitors like Liu Qinghan. The criminal minister never thought of making any usurpation against the emperor."

“…”

"The emperor, the hearts of the sinful ministers can be seen by heaven and earth!"

“…”

He just admitted that he had done those things, but now he said such things. If it weren't for another time, even I would be disgusting. But now, I slowly frowned, and Pei Yuanhao looked at him with a serious expression.

According to what he said, he was not the initiator of those rumors, but just borrowed those rumors to fuel the fire to achieve his own goals.

And his purpose is to deal with Liu Qinghan.

This statement makes sense. After all, when Liu Qinghan humiliated him in front of everyone, he naturally held a grudge. Moreover, this person, after all, had been in the officialdom for so many years, could understand the emperor's mentality a little. When there were two opposing people in front of the emperor and the emperor was extremely distrustful of one of them, he would naturally tend to be the other in terms of mentality. In fact, Pei Yuanhao did leave the first contribution of burning the enemy's food and grass this time to General Deng.

Could it be that General Deng really just wants to use these rumors to achieve the goal of dealing with Qinghan?

Seeing that Pei Yuanhao and I had a hesitant look on their faces, General Deng seemed to have taken it aside, knelt in front of Pei Yuanhao and kowtowed repeatedly, and said, "Your Majesty, the guilty minister is indeed a little selfish. Liu Qinghan humiliated the guilty minister in front of everyone that day, and the guilty minister was unwilling to accept it, so the guilty minister wanted to use these rumors to make the emperor even more dislike him. Only by eliminating him can the guilty minister be wiped out the shame of the day! I did this, indeed - I deceived the emperor, and the crime deserved death! But I never thought of committing rebellion, and those anti-pongs have already made it clear that Liu Qinghan had the intention to usurpate him. Killing him is also for the emperor's good!"

“…”

"Emperor, every word of the guilty minister is true. Please believe the guilty minister!"

He said, lying on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, and then he heard a banging sound, which made my heart beat.

Could it be that he really just did some tricks in the middle so that the relationship between Pei Yuanhao and Qinghan became worse and worse so as to achieve his goals?

From what happened some time ago, I could also feel the change in Pei Yuanhao's mentality. The emperor was already suspicious, not to mention that in the current stormy situation, General Deng did indeed make Pei Yuanhao's suspicion about Liu Qinghan reach its peak. I even have no doubt that if Qinghan returned to Linfen at this time, the two of them would likely really confront each other. If General Deng adds the fire, then Pei Yuanhao would really be able to order them to kill Liu Qinghan to eliminate future troubles.

This kind of thing, that is, killing people with a knife, is actually not uncommon in the officialdom, and Pei Yuanhao obviously knew it, so when General Deng admitted this, he was furious, but he was not too surprised.

The imperial sword is often borrowed by some officials.

When I was thinking about this, General Deng was still kowtowing. After a while, his forehead was broken, blood was revealed, and his face was almost dyed red.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao and I both frowned.

He doesn't seem to be lying like this.

But who can't act? He can do those things behind his back, so he is naturally not a honest person.

The question is, will Pei Yuanhao believe it?

Thinking of this, I slowly turned my head and saw several folds of Pei Yuanhao's eyebrows stacking deeply. The dark eyes were a little dark and unobstructed, looking at General Deng without saying a word.

I couldn't help but hold my breath and wait for his hair to fall.

However, after a while, he spoke again and said to me: "Qingying, you go back first."

“…”

I was stunned for a moment, and I was still a little overwhelmed: "Ah?"

He didn't look at me, but said in a deep voice: "I said, you go back first!"

He was not stern, but the emotions conveyed in the low voice were unnecessarily ignored. I could only whisper and then turn around and walk out.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! As soon as you walked out of the back door, you saw Zhesheng standing below.

He hadn't left yet, and looked at this place with a stubborn expression on his face. When he saw me coming out, he immediately came forward: "Sister Yan!"

"Zhesheng, why are you still here?"

"I, I want to wait and see."

It seems that he is still thinking about waiting to see how Pei Yuanhao will defeat General Deng. After all, this incident is almost fatal to Liu Qinghan, and even for Pei Yuanhao, it is not a sin that can be easily forgiven.

But - I recall the scene of General Deng taking his men into the city gate just now, and even now, the jubilant voices just now echo in my ears - Will Pei Yuanhao severely punish General Deng at this time?

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Since you have reported this matter to the emperor, the rest of the matter is no longer related to you. Let's go back."

“…”

"Didn't you say that, there will be rewards later."

Zhesheng shook his head: "We are not doing this for any reward."

“…”

"Senior Sister Yan, don't you even understand?"

“…”

I was speechless for a moment, and I didn't know what to say. Looking at Zhesheng's young face with the stubbornness and unyielding unique to young people, I still stood stubbornly at the door, and somehow I felt a little distressed.

According to the backup, they are my junior brothers. Even at age, they are all my younger brothers. I have seen people with too strong character and integrity rushing around in the cruel reality, and only ending up bleeding. I also know that this is inevitable and should welcome their growth, but I still feel a little unbearable.

I thought about it and said, "Zhesheng, have you ever thought about it? Actually--"

He listened to my heavy tone and immediately lowered his head to look at me. When I met his eyes, I felt a little reluctant. Just as I was hesitating, there was a sound of footsteps behind me.

Zhesheng immediately raised his head, and I also hurriedly turned around and saw General Deng walking down, with four people following behind him.

The scars were still there on his forehead, but the blood had been wiped clean, and there was still a look of panic on his face. However, when he looked up and saw us, he immediately snorted coldly, and followed the four guards to the other side.

He is now-

I was wondering how Pei Yuanhao dealt with this matter. If he wanted to deal with him, he didn't look like he was going to the execution ground; if he didn't deal with him, I wouldn't believe it. Even if he was not the real rumor, the things he did were violated by the emperor's taboo. Pei Yuanhao had no reason to ignore it.

I took a look at it and found that the four people following him were not his deputy generals, but the guards beside Pei Yuanhao.

Could it be...

Just as he was puzzled, Eunuch Yu walked out of it.

I hurried forward: "Eunuch Yu, Your Majesty the Emperor is--" As I said that, my hand still pointed at General Deng's back in front of me.

Eunuch Yu hurriedly raised his hand and signaled me not to speak loudly.

At this time, General Deng had already walked to the intersection and got on his horse, and several guards followed him and headed towards the city gate.

I was stunned for a moment, and Eunuch Yu leaned against me and whispered: "The Emperor asked General Deng to go to the city gate for a tour and go back to the house immediately. Those people were - following General Deng."

After saying that, he looked at me again and said, "Miss Yan, the emperor just explained that this matter is very important, so Miss Yan naturally knows what to say and what not to say."

“…”

I was silent for a moment, then nodded, and then Eunuch Yu turned around and walked in with confidence.
