emperor cold concubine

Chapter 633 Confrontation
Sikong Mansion, the last family with deep roots in the imperial capital, finally failed to escape the fate of being destroyed, and was uprooted overnight.

Compared with when the Murong Mansion was seized at the beginning, the situation was not inferior. Thousands of armored feathers surrounded the entire Sikong Mansion. The old master Sikong Sheng, down to the servants and maidservants in the mansion, not one was spared.

Crying, wailing, roaring, and cursing were heard endlessly, and the Sikong Mansion was filled with mourning and panic.

Zi Yu simply pretended not to have heard of it, and even when faced with Si Kong Sheng's harsh questioning, his expression never changed a bit, and he was like a cold-faced judge from the beginning to the end, just picking people up and refusing to answer them.

On the street outside the gate of Sikong Mansion, the onlookers stood far away, not daring to hinder the Habayashi Army's work, but they couldn't hide their curiosity——

Sir Sikong, who has been out of office for many years, what exactly did he commit to be charged with such a serious crime as ransacking his family and exterminating his family?

The imperial capital is located at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the distance is extremely close, so it is natural to know the major events happening inside and outside the palace city faster than the people of the world.

"You guys are so courageous! The old man has been in seclusion for more than ten years and does not care about government affairs. He has never been involved in party disputes, nor has he committed any acts of rebellion. Commander Zi, why do you take people at will?!"

"Let go of me, young master! You are too presumptuous! Who gave you the courage to trespass into the Sikong Mansion?" Sikong Mingyuan's struggle and clamor, all the soldiers of the Habayashi Army turned a deaf ear to it, and their movements of grabbing people were also slightly rude, and they ignored it completely. Sikong Mingyuan's expression changed due to the pain.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!"

Hearing the mournful roar of his most beloved grandson, Sikong Sheng was shocked, and with all his strength, opened the grips of the two Habayashi soldiers, roaring: "I want to meet the emperor! You group of rebellious officials and thieves, say ! Who are you instigated by?! The old man wants to face the saint! Face the saint!"

Sikong Sheng's only son, like his seven or eight wives and concubines, was not spared. Even, in Zi Yu's eyes, the prisoner was just a prisoner, there was no distinction between male and female, and the Habayashi Army still took people unceremoniously.

Sikong Sheng, who was restrained by two iron armored guards and restrained by his arms, was full of anger, spoke fiercely, and had an awe-inspiring air.

Zi Yu only glanced at him indifferently, and ordered in a cold voice: "Take them all back to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Yes!"

A woman suddenly shouted loudly: "I want to see the emperor!"

Zi Yu frowned, turned his head to look at the woman who made the sound, his face turned cold instantly.

The eyes of the others also turned to the plain-clothed woman, who were in a swarm of bees when they were being picked up, and they really cared about it. Looking at the woman carefully now, they saw that she had a beautiful face. It is excellent, and there is a light and elegant atmosphere all over her body. It looks different from the ladies of the ladies, but it has more of a low-key and secluded temperament that is detached from the world.

Normally, it is rare for a young woman who looks less than 20 years old to have such a temperament, and it also makes people feel a sense of respect—a kind of respect for those who are far away from the world of mortals. .

Naturally, this kind of respect is based on the fact that this woman does not speak.

As soon as she made a sound at this time, a domineering arrogance slowly appeared in her eyes, which immediately severely discounted the cultivation spirit that was different from ordinary people.

The two armored men holding his shoulders were obviously a little stunned by her different reaction from ordinary people, subconsciously turned their eyes to the chief of their family, and asked for his opinion.

Zi Yu's thick eyebrows were frowned, and he stared at the woman with a cold expression, and the other party looked at him without flinching, and repeated expressionlessly: "I want to see the emperor."

Everyone around was almost quiet at this moment, and all kinds of strange eyes were focused on this woman, but this woman did not panic, and there was no trace of embarrassment on her face. She looked even more beautiful than her grandfather Sikong Sheng. calm.

This woman's name is Sikong Suya, and Ziyu knows her.

Last time at the sixteenth princess's birthday banquet, because of her unconventional way of expression, she wishfully waited for the emperor at Yunyang's birthday banquet, and bluntly said that she would be the queen's Sikong Suyan.

He even asked why the emperor didn't come.

Ziyu looked at her silently for a moment, then said expressionlessly: "As Miss Sikong, I am not qualified to ask to see the emperor."

"Really?" Sikong Suya heard the words, his complexion did not change at all, he was calm and composed, and he was three points more sophisticated than what he saw in the palace last time. A strange feeling slowly fermented in Zi Yu's heart. The woman is strange.

Just as she was deep in thought, Sikong Suya spoke again, her tone uncharacteristically calm, "Then, can the little girl know what the Sikong Mansion committed to be ransacked and exterminated? Dali Temple didn't even have a trial, so the emperor just convicted him so easily?"

Ziyu said indifferently: "Since the emperor issued the order, he naturally has enough evidence in his hands. Miss Sikong, don't worry about your majesty wronging the Sikong family."

After finishing speaking, he slowly took out two things from his sleeve - a long booklet and what looked like a list.

Ziyu took a few steps forward, and unfolded the booklet and the list in his hand. There were many names written on the two copies, and most of them were people Sikong Suya knew, but the list was not just a list, but also The confession, those names are all signed by the officials being interrogated, and they are drawn.

As for the charges, the confession was written in great detail, but the general meaning can be attributed to two points——

Sikong Sheng sent people to blow up the embankment of Bianzhou River, causing Bianzhou to fall into flood disaster. The crops were completely destroyed, and the grains were not harvested. He regarded the people's livelihood as nothing.

Controlling officials from all over the world as common people, accepting bribes, intending to interfere with the government, and cholera the government, this act despises the power of God, which can be regarded as the meaning of rebellion.

Slowly showing the excerpts and confessions to Sikong Sheng and Sikong Suya, Ziyu said indifferent tone: "The emperor has issued a death order, and there is no room for change in this matter. Miss Sikong doesn't need to make a desperate struggle."

Sikong Sheng seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant, his expression was decadent, and there was a deep sense of unwillingness in his eyes.

Sikong Suya said indifferently: "The little girl suffering from the flood in Bianzhou has also heard about it, but what does it have to do with the Sikong Mansion? Is it possible that just because these officials made false accusations, framed them and signed a pledge, it can prove that all of this is from the Sikong Mansion Why?"

Hearing this, Zi Yu gave her a cold look and didn't speak.

"Since there is a small flood, the emperor also suspects that someone deliberately did it and investigated it as a case, so the little girl has nothing to say." Sikong Suya looked around for a week, her tone was calm and clear, "responsible for investigating this case Who is it? The little girl wants to confront him face to face."
