"Deng Qing, what else do you have to defend yourself?" Emperor Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at the man kneeling on the ground with a strange expression.

Deng Qing was sweating all over and his whole body was numb. He thought for a long time but didn't think of any solution. Now in this situation, it was impossible for him to blame Lin Mu. Jiang Chengyi was present, so this person would never let such a thing happen.

The question Emperor Wei's current moment was like a sharp sword hanging above his head, as if he could split his head anytime and anywhere, causing his blood to splatter on the spot, and he would die without a complete corpse.

Deng Qing felt cold in her heart, and she felt that she had no way to escape, so she simply closed her eyes and prepared to take it alone, at least she could protect the Taiwei Mansion and the entire Deng clan. He could not let Deng Ling's expectations for him become empty.

"Report to Your Majesty... I do know about this, I..." Deng Qing gritted his teeth and planned to take responsibility alone.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to recognize all this and clear the relationship between the prison robbery case and the Taiwei Manchus and even the Deng Manchus, Cui Qian outside the gate crossed the threshold and entered the hall, interrupting his speech: "Your Majesty... News came from outside the palace gate that it was the old Taiwei Deng requesting to meet His Majesty."

Emperor Wei asked: "What are he here to do now?"

Cui Qian answered truthfully: "I heard it was for General Deng's case..."

Emperor Wei was silent, staring at the door of the hall for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Ha. It's such a big deal... My palace can be transformed and transformed, and can be used as a case for you. I... I... I didn't do it well, and I was forced to be the Grand Official of the Qingtian once, and I stayed in this southern palace... and I will tell you the case?"

His sarcastic tone made everyone present breath tightly and dared not relax at will.

Emperor Wei raised his eyebrows and said to Cui Qian lightly: "Let him enter the palace. I want to see what other plays can my Grand Marshal sing?"

Cui Qian received the order and immediately turned around and left the South Palace, running towards the palace gate quickly.

Jiang Chengyi glanced at Cui Qian's departure back with his light and thought to himself. He originally did not intend to break up with Deng Guozhong and his grandson in such a cruel way, but now in this situation, I am afraid that Deng Guozhong will come in full force, and Lin Mu may not be able to compete with this person's interrogation. If Lin Mu had changed his mind temporarily, then today's layout would be wasted.

Things have come to this point, and he will never let the situation that has finally formed be wasted.

At this moment, Deng Qing, who was about to admit everything and took on all the blame, breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief. He thought: When his grandfather came to the palace, he must have found a way to resolve this situation... As long as he can cooperate well, he might be able to let His Majesty spare him and avoid the ending of being imprisoned...

But for a moment, Cui Qian brought Deng Guozhong, who was weak and sick, into the South Palace.

As soon as the old man entered the hall, he first knelt down to the Emperor of Wei above the ninth stairs. He knelt down and staggered, and he fell on the hall in a very embarrassing state.

When Emperor Wei saw that he had just stepped on the threshold, he fell to such a look. The people below were after all, the founding elders of the Great Wei Kingdom and the important ministers who assisted the emperors of three generations. Even if Emperor Wei was dissatisfied with Deng's various behaviors of cross-border, he was still unwilling to break up with such a person before the case was confirmed.

Deng Guozhong stood in the court for decades and had already developed a heart of betrayal and worldly style, so he could recruit so many disciples for Deng's family, gather the world's talents for his own use, and have the power to compete with King Ningzheng of Huai.

If such a person does not have the right time to break through, Emperor Wei would rather be patient.

So, the supreme above the ninth level ran down in panic and hurriedly, and with a look of respect and respect, he helped Deng Guozhong up who was knocked on the ground, and softly condolences: "How could Taiwei Deng take such a great tribute to the palace? How could I afford it?"

Since Deng Ling's death, Deng Guozhong's spirit has collapsed. He is no longer as strong and energetic as before. Now he only has a strong herbal smell and the erosion of a dying person.

When Emperor Wei walked up to help him up, he frowned secretly, with a scheming feeling in his eyes, and he lowered his head as if thinking about something.

Deng Guozhong gasped and stood up from the ground with difficulty. While coughing weakly, he gently pushed away Emperor Wei's arm, folded his arms and bowed to him, saying to him: "Your Majesty... I am dying, I can't bear the Majesty to help you in person..."

"And... I am guilty."

Before Emperor Wei could say a few words to him, Deng Guozhong knelt down at him again. Emperor Wei couldn't help but have a headache: "Taiwei Deng... You are so old, so if you have something to say, why should you be so polite? I agree that even if you are guilty, you can still reply. Taiwei... Get up quickly."

As he was speaking, Emperor Wei bent down and prepared to help Deng Guozhong up again. Unexpectedly, the old man would rather die than die. He insisted on kneeling and said, "Your Majesty... I am a serious crime! If I don't kneel in front of the palace, I will be uneasy..."

Seeing that he was stubborn, the Emperor of Wei no longer stopped him and allowed him to kneel down. He slowly walked to the ninth stairs and asked as he walked: "I don't know what the Taiwei is guilty of me, so I want to ask me like this? I heard Cui Qian say that you came today for the case of Deng Qing. Since that's the case... Why don't you talk about your Sun's case first after entering the palace, but instead say you are guilty?"

"Your Majesty...My crime is closely related to the case that my grandson Deng Qing bears...."

Deng Guozhong said so.

Deng Qing, who was kneeling aside and never dared to look up, heard this, felt an ominous feeling in her heart: Could it be that his grandfather had never thought of any best of both worlds...but wanted...

Before this thought could be seen in my mind, Deng Guo’s loyal and sincere words sounded in the palace: “Your Majesty… The case of Su Ren being robbed and escaped from prison in Dongshi… was planned and manipulated by me behind the scenes. This case has nothing to do with my grandson… Please give me a clear look.”

As soon as these words were said, Deng Qing's uneasiness was completely confirmed. He closed his eyes tightly and became secretly upset. Deng Qing never expected that his grandfather would come to the palace to take the blame for him.

In the hall, Jiang Chengyi heard Deng Guozhong's answer, as if she was not surprised. Instead, she hid her hands in her sleeves and stood by and watched the show silently.

Lin Mu, who was standing behind him, had a storm in his heart. Like Deng Qing, he never expected that Deng Guozhong would come to the palace to confess his guilt. At this moment, his decision in his heart was shaken. If this matter would implicate Deng Guozhong, he would rather bear all the charges himself and protect Deng Guozhong.

Just as they were thinking, everyone in the hall heard a clear laugh, all following the source of sound, and found that it was the Emperor of Wei standing on the stairs and laughing, "This scene is getting more and more exciting. I don't know at all that the Deng family is crouching tiger and hidden dragon, they are all those who despise the king's law and the imperial power?

Taiwei Deng, no wonder, no wonder, all the children under your command are bold, it turns out that they were influenced by you, and it turns out that the saying is not - the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked."

Deng Guozhong's body was already exhausted. When he heard Emperor Wei smiled, the steadiness in his heart was hit hard and almost shattered. Suddenly, layers of cold sweat appeared behind him, and he was so weak that he gasped.

After Emperor Wei finished laughing, the gloomy laughter lingers in the South Palace. It took a long time to gradually calm down.

The young emperor also climbed the ninth level again, sat on the couch, waved his long sleeves, put his hands on his knees, and said coldly: "Tell me, let's see how you planned all this, I want to see...whether what you said and what I know, overlap."

So, Deng Guozhong carefully explained to the Emperor Wei in the hall according to the words he thought before entering the palace. The words he said were exactly the same as what Lin Mu said, but the master of this was changed from Deng's love to him.

Lin Mu was shocked. He didn't know how Deng Guozhong learned about these plans. It was obvious that his preparations with Deng Qing were hidden from everyone else in the Deng family, including Deng Guozhong. He thought he didn't know... How could it be?

Jiang Chengyi looked at the old man kneeling on the ground and was also a little surprised, but soon he thought of something, and a strange look appeared in his eyes, thinking to himself: Could it be that Deng Guozhong...was A Luo who was waiting outside the palace... found him for him? Perhaps... everything planned by the Water Pavilion in various places has been achieved, so A Luo forced the old man into the palace, in order to completely dismantle the giant tree of Deng's sky-raising tree today?

He thought to himself, and he had some certainty in his heart.

As he thought, at that time, the situation outside the palace had a new breakthrough. The water pavilion was laid out for many years, not only to dismantle Deng Guozhong's power in the court, but also to defeat the entire Deng family in one fell swoop at the right time.

The difficulties in the capital were originally temporary. Before entering Beijing to arrange a chess game, Jiang Chengjia and Jiang Chengyi had already dug out the rotten roots of the Deng family, a tree that was rising to the sky. Since Wang Que released the letter from Wang He, the net of heaven and earth set up by the Water Pavilion in various parts of the Great Wei Dynasty, it has begun to attack the forces in various parts of the Deng family.

However, this sneak attack was extremely slow, because the Deng family, who were far away in the capital, could not detect any abnormalities, and could only remove firewood from the bottom of the cauldron, hollow out the foundation of Deng family bit by bit, and start from the rotten place, and slowly cut off the Cangqing tree.

This matter, neither Jiang Chengyi nor Jiang Chengjia, has been mentioned to anyone. Because the methods involved are complex and changeable, one person is involved, the victory or defeat of this game will be more unstable.
