Chapter 1035: Unable to stand up for justice (4)

Xiao Ruiyuan's eyes swept over several common people who seemed to be leading the way. Seeing that they did not dodge or dodge, but just looked at him with respect on their faces, he gradually dispelled the doubts he had before coming, and their expressions softened unconsciously.

At a place where he didn't notice, several people who originally wanted to step forward to secretly attack Xiao Xiong and Wei quietly retreated and hid themselves in the crowd. These are the people with ulterior motives who really want to fish in troubled waters and completely disrupt the water.

Under Xiao Ruiyuan's comfort, the angry crowd quickly calmed down, and they had given up trying to trouble Xiao Xiong and the Wei family. However, Xiao Xiong was seeking death. When he saw Xiao Ruiyuan coming, he thought it was the son he hated the most who incited these untouchables to come. The person who was causing trouble for him suddenly started to tremble again, pointing at Xiao Ruiyuan and yelling. She looked like a shrew. How could she have the magnanimity of a marquis?

Compared with Xiao Ruiyuan, who is brilliant and doesn't care about him, Xiao Xiong is just a **** with no knowledge or skills and bad conduct. Looking back on what he did before, those who watch it want to use a dog-beating stick. One person stepped forward and struck a stick.

Xiao Ruiyuan has long been accustomed to Xiao Xiong's attitude, and his expression has not changed. People who see it feel more and more distressed. It was only Xiao Ruiyuan's persuasion that forced them to give up the idea of beating up Xiao Xiong and Wei, so they silently planned in their hearts that if they met you two one day, they would give them a sap, which would vent their anger but not hurt them. Bringing trouble to their **** of war.

There is no doubt about Xiao Ruiyuan's influence on people. In less than a moment, he persuaded thousands of people to leave the Hou Mansion. Soon the Hou Mansion became as empty as before, except for the trampled grass and flowers in the yard. It's hard to imagine that a murder almost happened here just a moment ago.

Facing Xiao Xiongs accusations and curses and Weis skillful sowing discord, Xiao Ruiyuan turned a deaf ear. After returning to his yard to get some necessary things, he took his subordinates back to the generals mansion without looking back. What should be done has been done, and the next "big gift" to Xiao Xiong, Wei and Xiao Ruiqing is for them to "enjoy".

The people who were persuaded to leave the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion had not yet returned to their homes. On the way, they heard about the "good deeds" the three members of the Xiao family had done to their God of War in previous years.

Especially after hearing that Xiao Ruiqing, the second son of the Hou family, plotted to seize the throne of the heir apparent, and set up an ambush on their war god's return in triumph last year, with the intention of killing his own brother, people could no longer suppress their anger and poured in. Jingzhao Mansion asked Jingzhao Yin to conduct a thorough investigation.

Although it is just a rumor without evidence, after seeing what Xiao Xiong and Wei did, they already believe that these are all facts. They are common people and have no right to deal with a person who has committed a serious crime. They can only place their hope on the government, hoping that the government can seek justice for their God of War.

Within three days, more and more people came to Jingzhao Mansion to pray. If Xiao Ruiyuan hadn't sent people to stop them, these people would have knelt down at the palace gate.

Not only the common people sympathized with Xiao Ruiyuan, but also the ministers in the court saw this colleague with a cold face all year round, and they did not find him difficult to get close to. Instead, they sympathized and understood: When they met such a ruthless father and brother, Who can laugh?

In this regard, Xiao Ruiyuan did not react too much. He dismissed all the indifferent temptations from others with the words "family matters are not worthy of outsiders' treatment." He still handled official duties diligently every day. Not affected at all.

In the eyes of others, this look is completely different. He just pretends not to care because he doesn't want others to see the Xiao family's joke.

However, as the situation intensified, there were more and more people's voices defending Xiao Ruiyuan. This matter was no longer something that Jing Zhaoyin could decide, so he gave Emperor Hui'an a message every three days, asking him to thoroughly investigate Xiao Ruiyuan's assassination last year. case.

You know, the assassination case also implicated many princes and princes at the time. Not to mention King Kang who was deprived of the throne and imprisoned, even King Heng who was later imprisoned was demoted that time. The royal family suffered a lot due to this incident. A lot of criticism.

If it is finally confirmed that the assassination case was initiated by Xiao Ruiqing, then the face of the royal family can be saved. In the end, not only the princes and princes who had been punished jumped out to complain, but even the clan was constantly persuading Emperor Hui'an to issue an edict. check.

Emperor Hui'an has never made a clear stance on this. It wasn't that he didn't want to investigate thoroughly and take the opportunity to establish prestige among the people, but when the rumors first spread, he had already ordered people to investigate secretly and confirmed that Xiao Ruiqing was involved in the assassination.

He knew very well that once the evidence was put on the table, he would definitely punish Xiao Ruiqing, and even Xiao Xiong and the Wei family could not tolerate it. When the time comes, the one who will benefit the most is not him or the royal family, but Xiao Ruiyuan. Being a sword in someone elses hands is never a pleasant thing.

But the matter has come to this, and there is no benefit at all from delaying it any longer. Xiao Ruiyuan, who he is afraid of, will not be affected in any way. Maybe he will get more sympathy from the world because of his inaction as the king of a country.

Although he was not so happy, Emperor Hui'an finally issued an order and ordered Jing Zhaoyin to conduct a thorough investigation of Xiao Ruiyuan, Xiao Xiong, Wei and others to collect evidence of the assassination.

Jing Zhaoyin immediately started investigating after receiving the order. He thought that after more than a year, the investigation would not be easy. Unexpectedly, within ten days, he had collected evidence that Xiao Ruiqing participated in the assassination, and also found out some taboo things Xiao Xiong and Wei had done over the years.

When these evidences were presented to the imperial court, Emperor Hui'an was furious and immediately ordered Xiao Ruiqing to be arrested and brought to justice. He also deprived Xiao Xiong of his title and ordered Xiao Ruiyuan to inherit the title in advance...
