Chapter 359
Xu Miaoyun's words were like a heavy bomb thrown into deep water, stirring up turbulent waves.

Although Daxing's ancestral system allowed the empress to serve three husbands and four servants after giving birth to a direct heir, the feud between Daxing and Beiqi had a long history. If the empress committed herself to the emperor of an enemy country, it would undoubtedly be a national humiliation!
For a while, the people who didn't know the truth felt angry, especially some of the scholars——

"This is simply an insult to the country's constitution. How can the king of a country be so depraved!"

"Our majesty killed the late emperor because of his childhood sweetheart, Bei Qi, and was restless after marrying the emperor's husband. He almost broke the ancestral system. How can such a person be worthy of being the king of a country!"

"I don't know self-love, what a great misfortune!"

Seeing the people's public opinion intensified, Jiang Qixi took a step forward and angrily scolded: "Xu Zhi, you are bold, how dare you direct and perform such a farce to slander Your Majesty! What are your intentions!"

Xu Zhi looked innocent, "Jiang Shoufu's censure is so unreasonable, don't you even allow the old man's daughter to say some grievances?"

Xu Miaoyun hid behind Xu Zhi evasively, plus she was in a mess, she easily won the trust of everyone, it seemed that Jiang Qixi was threatening them.

The discussion among the surrounding people intensified, and the guards of the Xu family stopped Jiang Qixi, preventing him and his subordinates from getting close to Xu Zhi's father and daughter.

At this moment, the emperor's personal guard forcefully separated the people and strode forward, "Who is so bold to slander His Majesty and spread rumors in the street!"

Xu Zhi glanced at the people who came, and suddenly felt bad. Shao Yang, the captain of the Forbidden Army, was the man from Dingguo's mansion who had a feud with Xu Miaoyun before.

That time, Xu Miaoyun was slapped by Ding Guogong's grandson for disciplining the students of the Guozijian. Later, the presumptuous student was sentenced to exile, but Xu Miaoyun was also deprived of real power, which can be described as a lose-lose situation.

After Shao Yang saluted Jiang Qixi, he drew his long sword and pointed at Xu Zhi's guards, "Get out of the way, the imperial army wants to arrest those who spread rumors."

These family guards may have some skill, but they are no match for the well-trained imperial guards. At first they wanted to resist, but they were settled after two or three efforts.

Xu Miaoyun behind Xu Zhi trembled even more, Xu Zhi took a few steps back to protect him, and said in a panic, "Bold, I am a minister of the cabinet, and now His Majesty is not in the imperial capital, do you want to kill the court officials in the street? "

He was still pinning his hopes on the pressure of public opinion, but seeing the posture of the imperial guards, the onlookers didn't dare to make a sound. Some of them even wanted to leave, but a large number of imperial guards poured out from all directions, blocking the way to leave.

Seeing this, Jiang Qixi was relieved a lot. He knew that Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao must have known about the situation here and made arrangements.This time, the Xu family's father and daughter were afraid they were going to shoot themselves in the foot.

"Kill?" Shao Yang sneered, "You Xu Zhi colluded with Bei Qi and plotted to overthrow our Daxing country and society. Do you really think that no one knows about your crimes? And this crazy woman behind you, Is it really your daughter?"

Xu Zhi's neck twitched, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am loyal to the emperor and patriotic. How have I ever done such a thing!"

Jiang Qixi took out a stack of letters, and said in a cold voice: "Xu Zhi, you know that your majesty is back, and you can no longer hide your crimes, so you want to spread rumors to disrupt the imperial capital. These are whether you and Beiqi communicate with each other. letter, and the official’s car also has the account books and money records of your accepting bribes from Beiqi at the underground bank!"

When Xu Zhi saw those letters, he immediately panicked, but he still tried to stay calm, "You forged these evidences, Jiang Ge has always disliked my Xu family, and now my daughter has exposed His Majesty's scandal at the border. , just wanted to frame me and put my Xu family to death!"

"Don't cry if you don't see the coffin!" Yan Zhenglang's voice came from behind, "I have brought people from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Yushitai. Since you think Jiang Shoufu is slandering you, the third division is here in the imperial capital today." On the street, make this matter clear!"

I saw Yan Zhenglang leading a group of officials walking towards this side with a cold expression, followed by guards, carrying tables and chairs and other things, it seems that a court is going to be set up here!
Xu Zhi straightened his back, the imperial army blocked the road, and the three jurisprudence gathered here. It was clearly the arrangement made by Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao to prevent him from counterattacking, and wanted to catch the turtle in the urn!
"I really admire Jiang Shoufu and the emperor's husband. The so-called century-old Jiang family, for the sake of wealth and honor, can endure such a shame and humiliation. Your majesty is lucky to be born in the royal family. It was Shen Tang, and he could still beat and kill my Xu family in such a majestic manner, hehe..."

Even if he died, Xu Zhi would spare no effort to smear Ning Yuezhao. Even if he was convicted, others would think that he was framed because he knew the royal secret!
Shao Yang's sword was placed directly on Xu Zhi's neck, "When death is imminent, you still want to slander Your Majesty!"

As his words fell, several imperial guards stepped forward and lifted Xu Miaoyun out from behind Xu Zhi like a chicken.

"What are you going to do? Don't kill me, I will never tell anyone the secret of His Majesty again, please forgive me!" Xu Miaoyun cried while struggling.

That heart-piercing appearance is really heart-wrenching.

Xu Zhi said: "Come at me if you want to kill me, don't touch my daughter!"

Shao Yang's icy sword was pressed against Xu Zhi's Adam's apple, and he said mockingly: "Do you think you don't have to pay for what you did? It will be your turn soon, don't worry."

Shao Yang said loudly, "Xu Zhi's daughter contacted Beiqi in the frontier, intending to steal military secrets, and has been punished by His Majesty long ago. This is a counterfeit!"

The people around were photographed by the power of the Imperial Army, but there were also some scholars among them. They thought they had a strong character and said loudly: "Many people have seen Miss Xu's appearance. Although this woman is in a mess, her facial features can't deceive anyone!"

"Could it be wearing a human skin mask?" Someone also speculated.

Xu Miaoyun said confidently: "You can come and check if I have the so-called human skin mask!"

The imperial guards immediately went up and pinched Xu Miaoyun's cheeks, but what they touched was real skin, and there was no trace of a human skin mask behind their ears. They hurriedly asked Shao Yang for instructions.

Shao Yang seemed to have expected it a long time ago, he winked, and the guards of the Imperial Army moved out of the way, only to see a girl in a snow-white skirt walking slowly from the end.

"This is Xue Jing, a female doctor from the Imperial Hospital." Shao Yang introduced the visitor, and then handed over the scene to Xue Jing.

After Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao returned to the imperial capital in secret yesterday, Fu Liao and others also followed in their footsteps, just to prevent the situation from changing.

Lewen, the crown prince of Nanyu Kingdom, is a master of disguise. In addition to learning medical skills from him, Xue Jing is also quite proficient in disguise.

Seeing this pale girl with an indifferent face walking towards her step by step, Xu Miaoyun panicked for no reason, but she was restrained by the guards of the imperial army and could not move.

Xue Jing walked in front of Xu Miaoyun, and immediately someone came up with a tray containing all kinds of knives and scissors made of fine steel.

Xue Jing was not in a hurry, and first asked someone to bring a cloth soaked in water to wipe off the dirt on her face, revealing her fair skin.

She looked Xu Miaoyun up and down, and spoke like ice, "Human skin masks are just the most superficial method of disguise in the world. Do you think that no one in the Central Plains can see through your tricks?"

As soon as Xue Jing said this, Xu Miaoyun's face turned pale.

After finishing speaking, she suddenly pinched Xu Miaoyun's teeth, and under the great pain, Xu Miaoyun opened her mouth.Xue Jing took a small knife with a slender blade from the tray next to it, and inserted it into Xu Miaoyun's mouth without hesitation.

All the people present turned pale, and some timid people even closed their eyes.

Xu Zhi wanted to make a sound, but Shao Yang's sword was pressed against his Adam's apple. If he moved a little, the sharp edge of the sword would cut his throat.

With the flipping of Xue Jing's plain hand, the cold blade cut Xu Miaoyun's mouth, the pain made her almost faint, but her teeth were tightly pinched by Xue Jing, she couldn't even scream, she could only utter Some muffled whimpers.

Bloodshots overflowed from Xu Miaoyun's lips, Xue Jing's blade twitched in her mouth for a while and then retreated, and the hand that was tightly holding Xu Miaoyun's teeth was also loosened.

The imperial guards also loosened their restraint on Xu Miaoyun, Xue Jing expressionlessly washed his hands with the water brought by others.

At this time Xu Miaoyun sat slumped on the ground, she hurriedly covered her face, but couldn't help vomiting.

"vomit……"

She spit out a large group of yellow jelly from her mouth, mixed with blood stains, which strongly stimulated everyone's vision and sense of smell.

At this moment, someone yelled, "Look at her face!"

Xu Miaoyun hurriedly wanted to cover her face with her hands, but how could the imperial guards give her such a chance?
She was erected, and her face was exposed in front of everyone without any cover.

This face is quite different from the previous one. Although the outline is somewhat similar, the facial features seem to have been replaced, and the skin on the face is also a little loose and distorted.

"My God, what's going on?" Someone exclaimed.

Not to mention the people around, even Jiang Qixi, who was watching everything, was secretly surprised by this series of changes, his brows were tightly furrowed.

At this time, Xue Jing had finished washing her hands. She took the clean handkerchief, wiped her hands and said, "Her face is made of face-changing materials, filled from the inside of the mouth, changing the shape of the facial features, and thus changing the shape of the face." Cheng Xu Miaoyun. It takes time for the wound to heal, and this kind of disguise cannot be successful overnight."

"This is a fake, then what she said just now is all nonsense, Your Majesty is innocent!"

Those who had mistakenly believed the fake Xu Miaoyun's words were ashamed.

Jiang Qixi stepped forward, looked at Xu Zhi coldly, "What else do you have to say?"

From the time Xu Zhi saw Xue Jing's steel knife poking into "Xu Miaoyun"'s mouth, he knew that his design had been seen through by the other party.This medical woman who came out of nowhere didn't know what her origin was, but she was able to see through this disguise technique!

At this time, Xu Zhi's criminal evidence had already been removed from the carriage, and the officials of the Sanfa Division, under the auspices of Yan Zhenglang, showed and verified the evidence in public.

it's over...

Xu Zhi's mind was blank, and his painstaking efforts for many years disappeared in this day...

Shao Yang's sword was still on his neck, and he wanted to lean forward as soon as his heart swayed.

But how could Shao Yang let him get what he wanted?He put the sword back into its sheath, and Xu Zhi fell straight forward, just in time to land his face on the pile of disguise materials spit out by the fake Xu Miaoyun, covering Xu Zhi's face.

The blood foam was mixed with the fishy smell of the disguise material, so exciting that Xu Zhi vomited faintly on the spot.

Just when Xu Zhi was in a state of distress, Yan Zhenglang's cold voice sounded, "Xu Zhi is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, the evidence of his crime is convincing, take him down, and punish him after His Majesty returns to the imperial capital!"

"No..." Xu Zhi let out a desperate wail. He wanted to wipe off the dirt on his face with his sleeves, but the arresters from the Ministry of Punishment were not vegetarians, so they immediately set him up and stripped him off neatly. His official uniform.

Since he is a serious criminal collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, ransacking his family and exterminating his family is a minor matter, how can he deserve to wear the official uniform of the imperial court, and even try to wipe the filth with the official uniform!
At this time, the forbidden troops blocking the road had already withdrawn, but the people who were watching did not leave, and their faces were full of beards.

"I almost believed the traitor's words and misunderstood Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty and the emperor's husband are more in love than gold, how could they be such unbearable people, the Xu family really deserves to be hacked to pieces!"

"Long live your majesty, and a thousand years for the emperor!"

Facing the sudden change in people's attitudes, Jiang Qixi and Yan Zhenglang looked at each other silently, ordered the evidence to be brought back to the Ministry of Punishment, and the Xu family's nine families were arrested at the same time.

This street farce has since come to an end.

 I am also ashamed of everyone, I went on a business trip yesterday, and I just got down on the ground when I came back...
