Chapter 475
The three-day period is coming soon, and Duanmu Xu must give the emperor an explanation.

In the Golden Luan Hall, the emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at Duanmu Xu who was kneeling below. The missions from various countries were also there. Everyone looked at Duanmu Xu to see what explanation he could give.

Duanmu Xu knelt there, looked up and looked around, so many people were there, he was not nervous at all, instead he chuckled twice, his eyes turned around, and finally fell on Duanmu Ze.

Wang Chenyang was standing beside Duanmuze, seeing Duanmuxu looking at him, his lips were slightly pursed, and he was also staring at Duanmuxu. Duanmuxu noticed her gaze, and went to meet her gaze, and couldn't help but feel a burst of heartache. Cold, Wang Chenyang's eyes were full of coldness, and there was also a slight calculation.

Duan Muxu didn't dare to look into Wang Chenyang's eyes anymore, he retracted his gaze, cupped his hands towards the emperor and said, "Father, the three-day period has come, the assassination a few days ago should have a conclusion today."

The emperor looked at Duanmu Xu with a dark look in his eyes, and he said kindly, "What do you have to explain?"

Duanmu Xu smiled lightly and said: "Father, my son has nothing to say, but there is someone else who has something to say."

He smiled mysteriously, and said again: "Father, my son requests to bring the assassin Fan Yilian up."

The emperor looked at Duanmu Xu's appearance, it seemed that there was something hidden, he was aroused a little bit of interest, he nodded, and said: "Yes."

The dancer was pushed up that day, she was in shackles, she was heavily armed and brought to the Golden Luan Hall, where she knelt down in front of the emperor.

Standing in front of her, Duan Muxu shouted: "Fan Yilian, let me ask you, why did you break into my mansion to assassinate that day?"

Fan Yilian looked up at Duanmu Xu, her eyes were full of hatred, she gritted her teeth, and said, "If you know what you are asking, it is natural to seek revenge."

Duan Muxu snorted, stared at Fan Yilian, frowned deeply and said: "I have no grievances with you in the past, and I have no grievances in the present, why did you find it on me?"

Fan Yilian was still staring at Duanmuxu, her eyes were full of resentment, but she wanted to grit her teeth and said reluctantly: "I went for another person."

Duan Muxu snorted, and then asked: "Who is that person? What kind of grievances do you have with him? Why did you make trouble at my birthday party?"

Fan Yilian stared at Duanmuxu, gritted her teeth and endured for a long time before saying, "Because that person was at your birthday party."

Hearing this, Duanmu Xu raised his voice, and quickly asked: "There were many people in my house that day, who are you talking about?"

Fan Yilian hesitated for a while, then turned her head to look in Duanmu Ze's direction, looked for a while, under Duanmu Xu's expectant gaze, she pointed in Duanmu Ze's direction, and said: "It's him, the Sixteenth Prince, Duanmu Yue. "

Duanmuyue was standing beside Duanmuze, he was suddenly pointed at by Fan Yilian, very nervous, he couldn't help jumping up, pointing at Fan Yilian, and said: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Duanmu Xu was also very surprised, obviously he didn't expect Fan Yilian to point at Duanmuyue, the confession made by the two of them was clearly not like this, they clearly said that they would be planted on Duanmuze, how could they become Duanmuyue?
He looked at Fan Yilian, and said in a threatening tone: "Fan Yilian, don't mistake someone, point at someone rashly, frame innocent people, what is the price, you have to think clearly."

However, Fan Yilian didn't seem to understand Duanmu Xu's words, she still pointed at Duanmuyue, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the sixteenth prince Duanmuyue framed Zhongliang and killed the father of the criminal minister's daughter. The daughter of the guilty minister is the master."

As she said that, Fan Yilian kowtowed to the emperor, so loudly that her forehead was bleeding. She looked up at the emperor, and said again: "Fan Yilian, the daughter of the guilty minister, is the son of Fan Keng, the Jiangnan salinity envoy. Daughter, my father is a Salt Envoy, and his duty is to supervise the salt industry in the south of the Yangtze River. He is in a fat job, but he keeps himself clean and has never embezzled any financial affairs. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can investigate the accounts of the father of the criminal minister's daughter."

The emperor was silent for a while, and it sounded that there was indeed Fan Keng. A few days ago, Duan Muxu submitted a memorial to report Fan Keng's corruption. At that time, the emperor was in a bad mood. Fan Keng's position was removed, and Manchu was imprisoned.

Now that Fan Yilian was making trouble in the Golden Luan Hall, the emperor remembered that the execution was indeed too hasty at the time, and no one was investigated. Now it seems that Fan Keng may have been wronged.

It's just that the person who submitted the memorial was the prince Duan Muxu, and the person who approved the memorial was the emperor himself. The emperor can't let the emperor himself nod and admit that he was wrong.

After coughing twice, the emperor said, "You keep claiming that your father was wronged, but do you have evidence?"

Fan Yilian nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the daughter of the guilty minister has evidence to prove that her father was wronged."

The emperor said oh, and after glancing at Duanmu Yue and Duanmu Xu, his eyes were a little cold, and he asked, "What evidence do you have?"

Fan Yilian's eyes turned hard, and she said: "Your Majesty, my father was threatened by someone before he was alive, and he was asked to turn a blind eye to the salt walking on the water and not to stop him. It is regarded as a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the flesh, eager to get rid of it."

Fan Yilian didn't say who was the one who threatened, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that it wasn't Duanmuyue, who else could it be?
Duanmuyue was completely anxious, he jumped up, pointed at Fan Yilian, and shouted: "You crazy woman, what are you talking about, father, this crazy woman is a mad dog, biting people, father must not believe her words!" nonsense."

The emperor didn't speak, but just looked at Duanmuyue with probing eyes, and then shifted his gaze to Duanmuxu's body. When he noticed the emperor's eyes, Duanmuxu thumped in his heart and cried out that it's not good. The emperor began to doubt himself. He suspected that he was also involved in smuggling salt, which was a felony among felonies, and no matter what, he could not allow himself to be involved.

After Duan Muxu rolled his eyes, he cupped his hands at the emperor and said, "Father, my son feels that this matter involves a lot and needs to be discussed in the long term. Whether Fan Keng is a loyal minister or a threat is still unclear. After receiving the report, I still have a lot of evidence, if I am not sure, I will never submit a memorial to my father."

Duan Muxu's few words have picked him up completely, and all his words reveal that he is also a victim, as if he is also ignorant, but was deceived by others, so he rashly submitted the memorial.

Fan Yilian, who was kneeling there, was full of resentment in her eyes, wishing she could rush up and tear Duan Muxu to pieces, this hypocrite.
