It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 394
The reactions of these two people were very strong. Mu Liuyun watched from the side, but he could understand why Master Liao was so frightened.

What "the sound of the candle shadow and the axe" and what "the alliance of the golden cabinet" are all talking about the conspiracy to usurp the throne.

Not to mention that the first emperor was able to sit on the dragon chair back then because of the sword shadow and blood light of the battle for the throne, but before the new emperor took the throne, the first emperor had just passed the prime of life, did not know the destiny, and had never heard of any chronic illness before. As a result, he suddenly felt unwell, and the imperial doctors scratched their heads but couldn't find out the cause of the disease. Seeing that the situation was getting worse, he died not long after.

Today's new emperor is a rather inconspicuous one among the princes back then. Most of his other brothers are far superior to him in terms of talent, brains or skills, and they have been fighting fiercely in private.

Because the process of sitting on the Dragon Throne was too cruel, the first emperor was also very afraid of the struggle between his sons, but anyone who showed great ambition would be suppressed, and he would not even be given a chance to stand up.

As a result, the first emperor died suddenly, and those princes were either demoted or guarded the border, and even one was punished out of the palace and demoted to a commoner. The only candidate was promoted to a high position and ascended the throne to become the current new emperor.

Regarding the fact that the new emperor was able to sit on the dragon chair so smoothly, there are many discussions among the people in private. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world, just when those who are more competitive than yourself are suppressed, the former emperor who was originally strong and healthy collapsed?

However, all these kinds of discussions can only be whispered in private, let alone discussions on the surface, talking about anything with insinuations, it is all treason, and it is trivial to be punished and killed directly. Maybe the whole family will be implicated.

Now Wang Ji violated the taboo as soon as he opened his mouth, no wonder Master Liao jumped up in fright.

Mu Liuyun looked at Wang Ji, who was pale, and guessed that this guy was also panicked after being called over, so he even forgot the topics that needed to be avoided, and actually said all of them.

But this is not a bad thing, at least it shows that Wang Ji has been so frightened that he has lost the ability to tell lies.

Yuan Mu also acted as if he hadn't heard the taboos that shouldn't be said just now, and continued to ask Wang Ji: "You just said that your classmates are all classmates and friends. After Liao Wenbai left in anger, why did these classmates and friends laugh?"

Wang Ji's face turned from pale to red. It seemed that he was a little embarrassed to be asked by Yuan Mu about this matter, but he couldn't refuse to answer, so he could only stammer, "My lord...everyone drank some wine that night. , There are too many things to do when drunk...

After Brother Liao left the banquet that day, the reason why everyone laughed was because one of us, Brother Xu, said something drunk and the joke was a little out of place, but everyone was really dizzy after three rounds of drinking, so we laughed stand up……"

"What kind of inappropriate joke is it, so funny? Why don't you say it and let the grown-ups here listen to it, how about it?" Mu Liuyun opened his mouth to help Yuan Mu, not wanting to listen to Wang Ji talking about him. .

Wang Ji stammered and said, "Because Brother Liao said he would go to the study to search for classics after arguing with others that night. No matter what, we wanted to find records that could convince others. We advised him not to be so serious, and treated it as a joke , It's over, but Brother Liao refuses, and walks away.

And that brother Xu is also prone to talking nonsense when he is drunk, and when he sees it, he jokes and says..."

He stopped guiltily, glanced at Master Liao and Mrs. Liao, and then quickly looked away, with a look like a thorn in his back: "He said... It is the blissful time of life, who would run to the study instead of the bridal chamber on the wedding day!
He...he said, if Brother Liao is so confused, it's better to just...he can go for Brother Liao, it's really unkind to leave a beautiful woman alone in an empty room..."

"You bastard!" Mr. Liao couldn't stand this, and Tang Yuanwai who was opposite him also stood up.

Yuan Mu looked at the two of them, raised his hand to signal them to sit down, and the two sat down with sullen faces.

Then he asked Wang Ji again: "Who is this person's name? What happened after such an inappropriate joke?"

Wang Ji cautiously said: "My lord, Brother Xu's name is true. That time he said nothing, I told him and told others not to laugh. This is offensive to Brother Liao and his wife. We all Readers, it shouldn't be like this.

Afterwards, the others also thought about it, and felt that this was really rude, so they stopped laughing, and then... and then Brother Liao didn't come back for a long time, and Brother Xu also left the banquet because of drunkenness. I don't know where he went. Everyone was a little bit drunk and felt dull, so they left the banquet and went home alone.

I don't know anything about what happened after that. What the students said is all the truth, and there is absolutely no falsehood. "

Yuan Mu didn't question his words, but waved him to step aside, and asked the Yacha to bring Xu Zishi to the Yamen.

Xu Zishi was brought to the Yamen within a short time. He just showed up in front of the hall. The servant of the Liao family, who was kneeling aside and hadn't dared to say anything for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes wide and stretched out his finger. Over there, he said loudly: "My lord! My lord! He was the one who laughed the most at the banquet that day!"

Yuan Mu looked at the boy, didn't blame him for shouting, and asked in a flat tone, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" the servant of the Liao family nodded hastily.

"My lord! I... I'm sure, sure!" Seeing that his companion hadn't been scolded, Sun De stammered and followed suit, "It's him! Then, the person who ran back to find clothes that day... was him !"

After Yuan Mu heard what they said, he slapped the gavel on the case and yelled at Xu Zishi: "If the suspect is not willing to kneel down and confess to me obediently, don't toast or eat fine wine. You have to be punished to admit it!"

As soon as he said this, Wang Xiu on the side quickly turned his head to look, with a look of surprise on his face. Originally, he thought that Mr. Ti Xing was a cautious master, but he only asked a few people, and there was no obvious progress. Didn't he couldn't hold back his anger, and started to become irritable!

It seems that the eldest son of the county king's family and the high official from the capital are not the same as himself, but he just pretended to be unfathomable at the beginning!
