Chapter 562

Uncle Cao Guo's smile slowly subsided, looking at Princess An, "Princess, are you sure you came during the daytime on the fifth day?"

"Does Uncle Guo mean that I'm lying or suspecting something about Bengong?" Princess An frowned.

Uncle Cao waved his hand, "Princess, don't get me wrong. I don't have any other intentions. It's just that there are guards in the palace who say that they saw the regent of Da Zhou steal the holy sword. There should be no falsehood..."

Princess An said angrily: "There must be someone lying between me and the forbidden army. If it's not me, it's that forbidden soldier. You just said that what the forbidden army said can't be false. Do you mean that this palace is lying?"

This Princess Ann looks very easy-going on weekdays, wearing simple clothes, with a smile on her face, she looks very easy to deal with, but once her face turns cold, she has a kind of majesty of the heavenly family, and she is not angry at herself. spilled over the table.

Uncle Cao Guo secretly groaned in his heart, and was also a little confused. Could it be that Murong Jie stole the holy sword?

But the forbidden army said that they saw him steal it with their own eyes.

Princess Ann is right, there must be someone lying between her and the Imperial Army.

The people in the southeast district were watching from a distance before, but when they heard the quarrel between Uncle Cao and Princess An, they gathered around and proved for Murong Jie that he was indeed here on the fifth day of the lunar new year.

Afterwards, Master Su also came to testify together, and even brought Gao Fengtian to prove Murong Jie's innocence.

"That's right, the prince came during the daytime on the fifth day of the lunar new year. How could he go back to steal the holy sword on the fifth night of the fifth day? And on the fifth night of the fifth day, the prince also helped to dispose of the corpses of the villagers who died of the plague." The village chief said.

"That's right, we all saw it with our own eyes. It must be the forbidden army who lied and wanted to falsely accuse the prince."

Uncle Cao Guo looked at the gradually boiling crowd, then at Princess An with a frosty face, and then at Murong Jie who was exuding a cold aura, and panicked.

However, he quickly calmed down and said: "Princess, the official doesn't know the specific circumstances, but he was ordered to arrest Murong Jie. If the princess thinks that he was wronged and there is evidence to prove that he was wronged, then she will go back to the court with the official." , tell the emperor clearly."

The princess said coldly: "Who allowed you to use the word arrest? The emperor has never issued such a decree. As we all know, the emperor went to the National Book Week, and the prince and concubine came to control the plague. The emperor held a state banquet a few days ago to welcome the prince. I said at the time that I would spare no effort to cooperate with the treatment of the prince and his wife, but you are talking nonsense here to drive a wedge between the emperor and the prince, that is, between Dazhou and Beimo, causing a war. How can I allow you to maliciously disrupt the government? Shameless villain?"

After finishing speaking, Princess An gave an order, "Come on, take him down for me, put him in shackles, parade all the way back through the streets, and announce to the people what crime this guy has committed!"

Uncle Cao Guo was taken aback, "Princess, are you serious?"

He didn't believe it, because parading in the streets is a serious crime, and the prerequisite is that you must have been convicted.

What was he convicted of? Princess Ann is not qualified to judge him either.

If the princess thought that the emperor had not issued this arrest warrant, she would just go back to the court and ask, why did she parade him through the streets to show the public?

When he saw the Iron Guard descending from the sky, he knew Princess Ann was serious.

The iron-faced guards were a group of guards trained by General Su Wu before the first emperor fell ill. Six-year-old children with fine bones were selected for training.

Before and after the death of the first emperor, this group of people was rewarded to Princess An, but Princess An didn't want it, because at that time, this group of iron-faced guards happened to be growing up and eating, she said she couldn't afford it, and in the future, they had to pay salaries. deficit.

But what about these iron guards? The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. The emperor said that they are Princess An's people, so they are Princess An's people. In desperation, Ah Jun, the captain of the iron-faced guard, found the empress dowager. The empress dowager said that since she was trained by the first emperor, she would be raised by the court and used by the court in the future.

It's just that these iron-faced guards are also unfamiliar people, and they are late for the court, but they are only used by Princess An.

The master is a rogue, and the guards are even more rogue.

It's the princess mansion.

Don't gossip, this iron guard fell from the sky and captured Uncle Cao. Uncle Cao turned pale and stared at Princess An. The person who took advantage of this matter, we will see you in front of the empress."

Princess Ann smiled brightly, "Okay, see you later."

As if they had been prepared for a long time, the iron-faced guards took out a large wooden board. On the wooden board, it was written that Uncle Cao wronged the regent and his wife who came to treat the plague in Dazhou. The grief and anger are passed on to Da Zhou, and the main combat faction can send troops smoothly, expressing "evil anger" for the people.

Because Uncle Cao Guo saw this board and sneered, "No one would believe that the princess didn't collude with Da Zhou."

"Are the gongs and drums ready?" Princess An ignored him, and only asked the iron guard.

"Princess, it's ready." Ah Zhu replied.

"Let's go, take our uncle for a walk." Princess An said with a smile.

Her smile is always unpredictable, as if it contains a great conspiracy, but when you look closely, it is very frank.

Uncle Cao Guo had never suffered such humiliation in his life. Although he didn't dare to attack in front of Princess An, he just looked at Murong Jie and gritted his teeth and said, "Your plot will not succeed, just wait."

Murong Jie laughed, showing his white teeth, "I am waiting, you go back and tell Emperor Beimo to wait too, the good news will arrive soon."

"What do you mean?" Uncle Cao Guo looked at him vigilantly, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Murong Jie lazily said: "I don't know."

The iron-faced guards took the shackles, put Cao Guoshu on, and pushed him out.

This way, beating and beating, passing through many plague villages, the iron-faced guards escorted Cao Guoshu through the streets while talking about his crimes.

I swam all the way to Kyoto, and went in from the city gate and circled around the city of Kyoto twice.

After these two circles, everyone in Ancheng, Qicheng, Luoxian and Jingzhong knew that Murong Jie did not steal the holy sword, it was a conspiracy brewed by the main combat faction, its purpose was to continue to invade the Great Zhou, disregarding the lives of the people Regardless of the damage caused by the plague.

Then, she was held overnight in the Princess Mansion, and Princess An also came back the next morning, and she personally escorted Uncle Cao into the palace, and pushed Uncle Cao in on the Jinluan Hall.

The emperor knew about this last night, and he wanted to send someone to fetch Cao Guojiu from the princess mansion last night.

However, before he gave the order, he received the Tangba. Qin Zhou had just attacked, and his momentum was like a rainbow, but before the army had gone five miles, the grain and grass were struck by lightning, and after the impact, they were burned.

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. If there is no food and grass, what will the soldiers eat?

Even if the food and grass are raised immediately, it is impossible to raise so much and so fast. Now that the number of victims of the disaster is gradually increasing, the domestic funds used to rescue the victims and rebuild the aftermath are far from enough. riot.

In particular, the food and grass were struck by lightning and burned. If this spreads, it will be very detrimental to the royal family and the court. This is clearly God's condemnation of Bei Mo, and the holy sword is "lost". , will not die.

Under such circumstances, Cao Guojiu was captured by the princess and paraded through the streets for the crime of framing the regent of Da Zhou. He had two choices.
