Lin Yuer bit her lip and said, "What I want to sue is Xiao Jingye, the minister of Wen of the dynasty, who handed the paper to the Secretariat. Am I not going to fall into the trap?"

"ah?"

Zhao Yan and the other two were stunned. Seeing the woman's expression, she seemed to have a deep hatred with Xiao Jingye.

"Why do you want to sue Wen Xiang?" Xiao Zijie asked in surprise. His father has always been upright and has a good reputation in both the court and the people.

Lin Yuer looked at Zhao Yan and the other two and said, "This matter is related to the life of my family. The reason why the young woman colluded with Dao Liu to cheat was because Dao Liu and a partial general of the commander of the Imperial Guard, Shen Tuyi, who could send the paper into the palace. Unless the three people could tell that they could enter the palace to see Your Majesty, I would not say the following."

Zhao Yan couldn't help but frown slightly. This woman's idea was still too simple!

How could a mere general hand over the paper to the Long Case unless he dies.

Even if Shen Tuyi was in direct contact with the saint, any written materials would have to be reviewed by the Secretariat.

Otherwise, Zhao Yan would be exhausted to deal with some trivial matters every day!

Zhao Yan glanced at Kong Ze, and the latter immediately signaled and took out a black token.

"Girl, this token is a Dragon Pattern Order. You can enter the palace to face the saint with it. I believe you have heard of this name. If Wen Xiang is guilty, we must report it to the saint!" Kong Ze said sincerely.

When Lin Yuer listened to Zhao Yan and the other two chatting, she felt that they were not ordinary people. After seeing the Dragon Pattern Order, she was false. She immediately knelt down and said with tears in her eyes: "If the three young men can seek justice for the little girl, they will have a clear conscience to be a cow and a horse in the next life!"

Kong Ze quickly helped him up. Judging from his expression, he was indeed in great grievances.

Immediately, Lin Yu'er turned her back and took out a letter sealed with ink on her close body. The letter contained four big words: Your Majesty personally opened it.

Kong Ze took the envelope and said, "Don't worry, girl, we will definitely leave this letter to His Majesty to open, but please let me know a little about the contents of this letter, otherwise we will not be able to report to His Majesty."

"Three young men, please sit!" Lin Yu'er wiped her tears, sat on the chair beside her and said, "Twenty-four years ago, the current Wen Prime Minister Xiao Jingye, who is an official in the Ministry of Rites, was ordered to go on an envoy to Goryeo. On the way, he had passed by Baiyi Town, Sanyang County, Shouzhou. He stopped there for seven days and met my mother Lin Fengzheng. At that time, Xiao Jingye had a wife and children, but my mother still fell in love with him. Xiao Jingye promised to take my mother back to Changdan after returning from Goryeo. One month after he left Baiyi Town, my mother became pregnant. Two months later, my mother heard about the signing of the three-level treaty between Goryeo and Dazhou, and waited for Xiao Jingye to return and take him back to Changdan. He never thought..."

Lin Yuer's tears fell again.

"I never thought that the killer sent by Xiao Jingye. Xiao Jingye asked the killer to tell my mother that my mother was humble and was not worthy of him at all, and it might affect his future career, so she wanted to get rid of the roots. When my mother claimed that she was pregnant, the killer even threatened that the Xiao family already had the eldest son, and this kind of bastard should not be left in the world."

"Then...and then...they threw my pregnant mother, three uncles and three aunts who knew about this, and four children under twelve years old, into the river, causing the illusion of drowning!"

As he spoke, Lin Yuer cried even harder.

"But... there is no way out. After rushing into the water, my mother was rescued by a woodcutter and gave birth to me. Then my mother moved to another place to live. Until two years ago, when she was dying, she told me the truth about this matter. I came to Changdan for a long time to face the saint and tell the emperor!" Lin Yuer said touchingly, and she burst into tears.

After hearing this, Zhao Yan and the other two frowned.

Twenty-four years ago, what Xiao Jingye was doing? Zhao Yan went back and found out that if this matter was true, then Lin Yuer would be Xiao Zijie's real sister, and Xiao Jingye had a murder case with ten people on his back.

According to the laws and regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if the officials are appointed as the Minister of Wen, they will be sentenced to death if they kill ten innocent people.

Zhao Yan looked at Xiao Zijie.

Xiao Zijie shook his head and said, "I don't believe it, it's absolutely impossible!"

Lin Yuer looked at Xiao Zijie in confusion, wondering why he said this.

At this moment, Zhao Yan was very nervous.

If this matter is false, Zhao Yan is definitely the happiest person. If this matter is true, Zhao Yan will be difficult to deal with.

Over the years, Xiao Jingye has been the biggest pillar of the Great Zhou. The late emperor needed to rely on him, and Zhao Yan also needed to rely on him. Xiao Jingye's contribution to the Great Zhou, including the atmosphere he led in the court, is obvious to all.

If he really sent someone to kill those ten people and intends to kill his wife and daughter, Zhao Yan would be a little reluctant to give up his sentence, but if he did not sentence him, it would be an injustice to the woman.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yan said to the girl: "Miss, now you will follow us into the palace. I will let you and Xiao Jingye confront each other in person!"

"Really?" Lin Yuer was extremely happy and full of excitement.

Seeing her expression, Zhao Yan and the other two felt uneasy.

But no matter what the truth is, it always has to be faced.

Soon, Heiwa arranged two carriages, one carrying Lin Yu'er into the palace, and the other carrying Zhao Yan and the other into the palace. In addition, he also sent someone to summon Xiao Jingye.

In the Chuigong Hall, Zhao Yan was sitting on the dragon throne, feeling very uneasy.

He had read the paper of the letter, and it was written in detail and well-founded, and it was difficult to tell that it was fabricated.

Xiao Zijie and Kong Ze below were awakened from the wine they had drunk in the afternoon, and they were also paced back and forth, feeling extremely nervous.

Zhao Yan planned to ask Xiao Jingye first, and then let the two confront each other.

Soon, Xiao Jingye rushed over.

"Your Majesty, at most, the results of the Shuzhou new policy will come out. I wonder what your Majesty is going to urgently summon me now?" Xiao Jingye asked in confusion, and his eyes were also aimed at Xiao Zijie and Kong Ze beside him.

"Can these two kids cause trouble again?" Xiao Jingye thought in his heart.

Zhao Yan let out a long sigh, then smiled and said, "Xiao Aiqing, there was a case that was more than 20 years ago. I need help from you. Can you answer my questions?"

Xiao Jingye was a little confused and immediately bowed and said, "I must know everything."

"Twenty-four years ago, what official position was my dear? Have you ever been to Goryeo?"

Xiao Jingye thought for a while and replied, "If Your Majesty does not improve Li, I really don't remember it. Twenty-four years ago, I was a member of the Ministry of Rites. At that time, I was ordered to go on a mission to Goryeo and signed the three-level treaty that allowed our Great Zhou to pay nearly 100,000 taels of silver."

Zhao Yan asked again: "Have you ever been to Baiyi Town, Sanyang County, Shouzhou?"

Xiao Jingye was slightly stunned, then nodded.
Chapter completed!
