It is difficult to predict whether this decision will be a blessing or a curse for Beikang, but he knows that if he does not take the bait, the grandson will definitely give the bait to others. For example, the person who made the quarrel in the court today

The eldest son of the Regent of Xihai. It seems that he is much more interested in this bait than himself. If this happens, it will definitely be a disaster for Beikang.

It seems like you are being asked to choose, but damn, there is no choice at all.

Lin Yutong said: "If you choose, it will be your opportunity, and maybe it will also be Beikang's opportunity. If you don't choose, neither you nor Beikang will have a chance. You and I are friends, so I think you should choose first."

Should I thank you?

Muren almost cried.

Lin Yutong herself felt that she was bullying a child. She smiled kindly, and Muren actually saw a bit of kindness in it. It was really a ghost.

He sighed: "I have to thank you." He said this with a bit of gritted teeth.

"I won't give you this benefit for free." Lin Yutong said and smiled.

Muren's expression could hardly be maintained, and he chuckled: "There are conditions, right? Tell me! I listen. I know that if you don't cooperate, you don't mind asking the noble prince of Xihai to choose again.

"

Know the current affairs!

Lin Yutong explained in a low voice. A trace of doubt flashed in Muren's eyes, and then he nodded: "It's just a small matter. Just say it and I will cooperate. Why go to such trouble..."

"I don't want to owe others any favors." Lin Yutong stood up, patted Muren on the shoulder, and said, "Goodbye."

Muren stood still, annoyed: I don’t want to owe anyone else! My feelings have pushed me to the point of no return, so I still want to return the favor. I’m so grateful to you! Not only do I want to thank you, I also want to thank your whole family!

The next day there was a joint hearing among the three departments. Officials from the Criminal Ministry, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate all arrived, and the location was chosen to be the Criminal Ministry.

Before the trial started, another imperial edict was issued, and three jurors were sent down: King Wu'an, the third prince, and the cabinet minister Wan Fangyuan.

It's an interesting jury, not one of them has the same heart as Dong Gong.

They greeted each other and sat down, and then Lin Yutong looked at Pei Qing, the minister of the Ministry of Justice: "Master Pei, please."

Pei Qing stood up and immediately gave the order to take the people with him.

Hao Yuanzi was brought here like this.

Since ancient times, it has been said that punishment is not worthy of scholar-bureaucrats, and this is still true today. Not to mention that this person is from the Xihai royal family. Even if he is an official in the court, as long as he is an official and has not been convicted, he cannot wear torture instruments or use torture.

.

Therefore, Pei Qing directly asked someone to move the chair and asked Hao Yuanzi to sit on it.

"Who is in the hall?" He looked calm, not shy among the crowd, and also looked at Lin Yutong's face.

The corners of Lin Yutong's lips curled up. The person recommended by the prince was quite reliable.

Hao Yuanzi smiled lightly: "The eldest son of Haotian, the regent of the West Sea, his biological mother is the legitimate daughter of the Hua family in Nanjing."

Pei Qing asked again: "The royal family in the West Sea has a large population. Although I, Dajing, do not know everyone, the regent is famous and we have all heard about it. I have never heard that the regent of your country has such a son. Do you have proof?"

"Of course." Hao Yuanzi nodded and took out something from his arms, "This is a seal. In addition..." He pointed to the ants on the ground, "You can take a look, all the ants walking this way are

Turn back halfway or find another way. I have the smell of sea millet on my body. This smell can prove that I am the royal family of the West Sea. This seal can prove that I am the son of the regent. Furthermore, if you really understand the regent's palace, you should know

, the name of the eldest son of the Prince Regent is Hao Zhongqian. 'Zhong' is the second son, which proves that he did have an eldest son before him. As for why you haven't heard of me, the eldest son, I don't need to tell you, you should understand."

Of course everyone understands that this involves the design of Jing. Times have changed, and Xihai was found out. Who among the ministers in the court has the face to talk about this matter?

I can't go into details.

Pei Qing looked at Wanfangyuan and said, "Mr. Wange, what are you looking at?" Do you want to ask or not?

Wan Fangyuan frowned and said in his heart, Taisun is here, what are you asking me for? But at this time, he could not shirk. Seeing Taisun closing his eyes to rest, he could only wave his hand: "Check the seal."

It does have the logo of the Xihai Royal Family and the Prince Regent's Palace, and it is not a forgery.

Pei Qing then said: "May I ask, when did you come to Jingguo and what identity did you come to Jingguo? What do you mean by coming to Jingguo?"

Hao Yuanzi lowered his eyes, "I came to Nanjing as a businessman three years ago for the purpose of gaining experience and studying abroad."

Pei Qing was shocked: "You are talking nonsense. You have the cave in Dongshan as proof, and you dare to talk about studying abroad?"

Hao Yuanzi smiled: "I just discovered this place by chance. It has nothing to do with me."

Wanfangyuan looked at Lin Yutong: "Your Highness, this person's confession is not consistent with what you said in the court before."

A trial on this kind of matter would be in vain. Since Hao Yuanzi is really from the royal family of Xihai, he will definitely not admit it. Taisun is digging a hole to bury himself.

In front of so many people, I don't believe that my grandson dared to give in and fight.

Now, it just depends on who is more embarrassed.

The corners of King Wu'an's mouth turned up, revealing a bit of a smile.

The third prince remained motionless, secretly laughing at King Wu'an's stupidity. Did he really think that his grandson was a vegetarian? He had learned a lesson from this grandson's methods. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was as cunning as a fox and as ruthless as a fox.

He dared to start a trial and call for a trial, but he didn't believe that he didn't make preparations.

Sure enough, I heard Lin Yutong say to Pei Qing: "Stop talking nonsense and call someone to witness."

Witness?

Who are the witnesses?

Invite Princess Anqing to the hall?

Princess Anqing only wished she could bite him to death now and still be able to testify for him.

But no one expected that it was Muren who was invited. In fact, many people didn't know who the person was. Muren lived in seclusion, and not many people had seen and remembered him.

After revealing his identity, he realized that he was Beikang's proton.

This one has a different nature.

Whether it was Wanfangyuan, King Wu'an or the third prince, they all straightened their backs. Even if Muren didn't speak, they knew that the matter was complicated. Not only was Xihai involved, Beikang was also involved.

Well, either nothing will happen, but if something happens, it will definitely be an earth-shattering event.

"Show the eldest prince a seat." Lin Yutong said it himself. Muren was placed on the side, so he could see both the main hall and the lower hall.

Pei Qing looked at Muren: "May I ask the eldest prince, do you know this person?"

Muren glanced at this person and sighed inwardly at the power of blood. He looked somewhat similar. He nodded slightly: "We know him."

"Do you know his identity?" Pei Qing asked again.

"Yugong, this man is the eldest son of the regent of Xihai. Yu privately, he can be regarded as my uncle. He and his father Khan are half-brothers. Beikang is different from Jingguo in that the people are open. Jingguo only follows the father's line.

, but neither Beikang... nor Xihai are so particular." Muren smiled, "So, he is the elder brother of Father Khan."

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look ugly.

Everyone in Jingguo has heard about the influence that the Queen Mother of Beikang has on King Khan. And everyone is well aware of the Queen Mother's hatred for Jingguo. But unfortunately, she is also the old lover of the Regent of Xihai.

, there is also a son between the two.

Of course, talking about personal affairs is a bit unflattering and even childish.

However, these connections and involvements can easily lead to some kind of cooperation or alliance between the two countries.

What can they cooperate with?

Between countries, there is nothing more than interests.

There happens to be a common enemy between them, and that is Jingguo.

If one can't chew it, but two of them together may not be able to bite off a piece of meat.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire Criminal Department lobby suddenly became tense.

Wan Fangyuan's eyes flashed and he asked: "Prince, you are the prince of Beikang, there is no doubt about it. But since you are the prince of Beikang, how could you say such a thing? Do you know that what you said

Did you betray Beikang? What motive did you have for doing this?"

Everyone was stunned: Yes! He was just a witness, he just said that he didn't know. Why did he say these words, which were obviously detrimental to Beikang? It didn't make sense! Unless what he said was not the truth!

Muren raised his eyelids, glanced at Lin Yutong, and then said: "There are two reasons. First, my father is about to have two princes, three princes, four princes, or more princes, all of whom are of nobler origin than me. Please don't forget,

My maternal grandfather is Qi Wei, and my mother is currently recuperating in the princess's mansion in Liangzhou. My identity will only become more and more embarrassing. Secondly, your great-grandson told me that he will help me capture Kucha City. Please tell me

,With these two reasons, why didn’t I say it?”

Wan Fangyuan was speechless. The first reason was that his position in Beikang was unstable. As a proton, if his position in Beikang was unstable, he would probably become a pawn and not end well. What's more, his background

, his relatives and other factors included, for the sake of his own personal safety, it is understandable to find a way to survive for himself. After all, if a person does not protect himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth. The second reason...

He pondered for a moment and then understood the intention of Taisun's move. Even if he was looking for trouble this time, he couldn't help but applaud Taisun's strategy. Once Qiuci City returns to Muren, Beikang may not necessarily benefit, but

The alliance or cooperation between Xihai and Beikang will definitely fall apart.

The one who profited the most from it was actually the eldest prince. He fought for a glimmer of hope for himself. Of course, one can also imagine that occupying Kucha City disrupted the layout of Xihai and Beikang, but at the same time it also provided a

Beikang has won an opportunity to point his sword at the West Sea. The benefits lost from Jingguo can be recovered from the West Sea. For him, does this count as a betrayal of Beikang? I'm afraid he doesn't think so. It can not only protect itself, but also

It's not a betrayal in the complete sense. He had reason to stand up and testify that Hao Yuanzi was dead.

He sighed, there was no way to find fault. Taisun found a witness who could not be refuted, led to an incident that could not be ignored, and set up a situation that had to be followed according to the route he had set.
