Chapter 216 Long live in person

Seeing that Concubine De cried almost with makeup and sincerely repented, the emperor couldn't help sighing and said, "If I had known this, why did I have to do it at the beginning!" Let me ask you, do you know who he is?

Up to now, Concubine De did not dare to hide anything, so she had to say, "When I go back to the emperor, my concubine only knows that his name is Qin Manxiu, and he lives with two men in his 50s and a girl about the same age. The concubine was confused for a moment and brought him into the palace, and she really didn't know his identity.

"Oh? Is it?"

"Yes, your Majesty. I would like to ask the emperor to observe the truth.

"Ye, I don't think you dare to be so bold! Dare to bring a deserter suspected of killing the court minister into the palace!"

"Ah!" Concubine De was completely stunned. Looking at that expression, it definitely didn't look like pretending.

At this time, Manxiu was much calmer than before. It turned out that Zhou Xinran did not let herself go at all. She said it all.

The Empress Defei should be very regretful at this time. But who told her that she only wanted to regain the emperor's heart, but forgot to hide in the deep mountains. She may be a master hermit or a murderer?

Although Man Xiu saw that Concubine De was miserable at this time and a little unbearable, when he remembered the way she forced Mulan to take poison, he felt that she was also evil at this time.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, my concubine, I know it's wrong!" Tears flowed from the eyes of the Imperial Concubine De. I guess she has never cried as hard as she did in her life today.

"Will you let her go? She is not wrong." Man Xiu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said this sentence at this time, and obviously, it was said to Concubine De. This may be his only chance. The emperor can spare Concubine De, and he will not forgive him easily. At this time, if he doesn't ask for the antidote for Mulan, he may let Mulan go to hell first.

"What's going on?" The emperor's face was cold again.

"Return, back to the emperor, my concubine, I also brought back the little girl who lived with him when I came back, and my concubine let her go to ensure that she was fine."

"Oh? The girl who lives with him? Where are you now?"

"When I returned to the emperor, my concubine arranged her in the residence of the maid who had just entered the palace."

"Bear her here!"

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Is Defei resisting the order?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not. It's just that she is a wild girl who runs around the world. She is afraid that she doesn't know the rules and is shocked.

"Isn't there already a suspect here? Are you afraid that there will be more people who don't understand the rules?"

"Yes, father-in-law, why don't you bring people quickly!"

Grandfather An, who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, was finally sent as an envoy, and looking at the emperor's wink, he seemed to have no intention of stopping him from leading people. He understood. The intention of Defei arranging him to go is to quickly give Mu Lanzhi an antidote, say a few more good words, and stop their affairs to involve Defei.

An Gong has done it. But somehow, it was Xue'er who was a little worried at this time. Does she mind what Defei just said about the girl who lived with Man Xiu? Mufeng's father and daughter disappeared together with Man Xiu. It should be reasonable for them to live together. But why is it so uncomfortable?

"Look, you should be familiar with it."

When Grandpa An withdrew to bring Mulan, the emperor handed a piece of paper in his hand to Duke Qi beside him, but the words were said to Man Xiu.

Before Qi Gong gave him the paper, Man Xiu guessed what it was. There was a picture on it and a word under it. Through the picture printed on the back of the paper, Man Xiu knew that it was the sea arrest document that he had captured.

Speaking of which, it is the first time I have seen this sea arrest document. After the barracks was robbed of Xinyuan by Zhou Xinran, he lived an inhuman life. After being rescued by Qi Tianqing and Mu Feng's father and daughter, he experienced the disaster of life and death. Later, he lived in the deep mountains with Uncle Yuan and others. Uncle Yuan often went out to inquire about the situation and came back to tell him, but he really didn't take a step out of the deep mountain.

Man Xiu looked at the portrait and looked like himself. If he paints it, it will probably be much better than this one. But you can't blame the writer. After all, that person is only drawn by description and imagination, and has never seen his real person.

"How do you feel when you see your own sea arrest document?" I don't know what's wrong with the emperor. He was obviously very indignant just now. At this time, he saw Man Xiu taking over the sea arrest document with both hands. His eyes were uncertain. He kept looking at it and asked calmly.

"Does the emperor want to hear the truth?"

"Bold!" Duke Qi scolded and said no more, but there was no humble feeling caused by fear. The high emperor was a little more interested in Man Xiu at this time.

"Oh? Aren't you still going to lie in front of me?

"The grass people dare not."

"Then do you dare to ask me if I want to hear the truth?"

"That's it. If the emperor wants to hear the truth, the people will answer. If not, the people won't answer.

"Bold! Long live, how can you be so presumptuous!" Duke Qi was angry, and no one dared to speak like this in front of Long Live. This Qin Manxiu, oh, is still Chen Tao's.

Man Xiu chose to keep silent again, but lowered his head and continued to look at the sea arrest document. I don't know if my mother is still alive in the world. If she sees her, will she recognize herself through this picture? Are you looking for yourself everywhere, and are you giving up because you are too disappointed in yourself?

"Okay, I'd like to hear what you call the truth?"

"To the emperor, Cao people feel that this portrait does not look like Cao people. If it is a grass painting, it must be better than this one.

Aqi qi jing......

"Hahahaha!" Long live a bright smile broke the silence. Everyone doesn't know why Long Live can laugh, and why a murderer can be so presumptuous.

"Come on, bring a pen and paper!"

After the little eunuch was ordered to take the paper and pen, the emperor signaled them all to Man Xiu. OK, I'll give you a chance now. You can write a new sea arrest document by yourself. I'd like to see if your pen can really shine!"

Man Xiu held the pen and fell on the ground to draw against the original document in his hand. Obviously, Long Live is very curious and wants to know how much he can write. Is it possible that he can compare with the painter in his own palace? Is it comparable to Wu Daozi in the Tang Dynasty?

Soon, Man Xiu completed his masterpiece, much faster than the emperor expected.

But when Duke Qi presented the sea arrest documents to the emperor, the emperor was stunned for a moment.

Where is Man Xiu himself painted on it? It's just a thin humanoid outline. The original word for capturing the document was unchanged, but the word "Chen Tao" on "Chen Tao, the suspect who killed the court minister" was removed, and the rest were the same.

I have to say that Man Xiu's handwriting is very beautiful. He is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the emperor believes it. It's a little unbearable to kill such a talent like this.

"Is this what you call like? Aren't you teasing me?" The emperor picked up the sea fishing document and pointed to the image above and said.

"Your Majesty's inspection! How dare the grassroots people tease the emperor? The Cao people admitted that they were indeed Chen Tao that the court was looking for, but Lord Ge was by no means killed by the grass people. That night, when the grass people went to see Lord Ge, Lord Ge had been killed. When the grass people ran out in panic, they also met a masked man with strong martial arts skills. The people didn't see the other party's appearance clearly, so it was easy to draw this outline based on memory. Otherwise, it won't take this long to write this sea arrest document.

"Oh?" The emperor heard the sound of the long line. Originally, he attached importance to the murder of Lord Ge Yimin. In those years, he also sent his most effective master to solve the case, Ye Zilian, but he did not think that Ye Zilian would return without success. The murder of Lord Ge has been an unsolved case so far.

But when he issued a sea arrest document to arrest Chen Tao, I remember that Ye Zilian was strongly opposed. Long live the reason Ye Zilian gave himself after returning from Shaanxi. Although he could not find out who the real murderer was, Chen Tao was by no means the murderer. Long live, when asked why he was so sure, Ye Zilian looked around and said about him.

It must be that Ye Zilian knows some truth, but there is no evidence. He can't blindly make a conclusion. Now he saw Chen Tao and asked him to imitate a sea arrest document again, but he took the opportunity to express the truth he wanted to say, which was not smart. Is the emperor still willing to kill such a person?

"Why did Lord Ge want to meet you at midnight? When you saw that someone was killed and met a killer, why did you escape again? Why don't you cooperate with the court to testify?"

Zhou Ke is already a second-grade member, and the court must have his power. At this time, it is said without evidence that Zhou Ke designed to frame his father. I'm afraid no one will believe it, and there is another charge of falselying court officials... Now, it can't be said.

"When I returned to the emperor, Lord Ge asked someone to send a note to the grass people and asked the grass people to meet at night. The grass people just went to the appointment and didn't know what Lord Ge meant. Unexpectedly, when he went there, he saw Lord Ge die. The grass people had never seen a dead person before, and they were afraid that someone would know that it was Lord Ge who was involved in the murder case. For a moment, they were afraid and escaped. Who would have thought that as soon as he came out, a masked man attacked the grass man. Fortunately, a soldier looked for him. The man left, and the grass man also took the opportunity to escape.

There is reason and evidence. If it is someone else, the emperor may believe it, but the person who spoke is Qin Manxiu. The emperor reviewed it for a while and asked, "You said that Lord Ge sent you a note at that time. Where is the note now? Do you remember who sent the note?

"To the emperor, the note was burned after the people read it. As for the person who sent the note, at the end of the battle in the barracks, the soldiers cheered and the scene was relatively chaotic. The grass people only knew that they had received the note in their hands, but they didn't know who handed it to the grass people.

"Oh? Is it?" The emperor's tone seemed to be skeptical.

"Then how did you escape from the barracks?"

Man Xiu is thinking about whether to drag Zhou Xinran into the water.

"When you go back to the emperor, Mulan will bring it to you." At this moment, An Gong took Mu Lanzhi to the hall. When the emperor looked down, he saw a tomboy in men follow Grandpa An into the hall without any fear. His pace was urgent, and his eyes were also looking around, but his eyes were anxious.
