Chapter 274 Trial
Hearing Xiao Jingyi's order, a group of guards rushed over with swords in hand, and surrounded Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue tightly. These guards were Xiao Jingyi's confidants, all of them were agile and aggressive, with murderous intent flashing in their eyes, as if they wanted to cut the two into pieces.
However, facing this situation, Xiao Jinghan did not show any fear. He calmly took out a golden tiger talisman from his arms, held it high, and shouted to the guards: "Listen carefully! Now, I order you to capture Xiao Jingyi immediately! Take him back to the Nanyi military camp for interrogation! If you disobey, you will be punished by military law!"
Xiao Jinghan's words were like a thunderbolt, shocking everyone present. The guards stared at the glittering tiger talisman with wide eyes, hesitating in their hearts.
After all, it was a symbol of imperial power. If one disobeyed the order of the tiger talisman, it would be equivalent to disobeying the emperor. At this time, Xiao Jingyi's eyes widened, his face full of despair and unwillingness.
The atmosphere in the main camp of the Nanyi military camp was tense and solemn. Old General Shen Xu sat in a plain car, looking forward with a firm gaze. His face was still flushed with excitement, and the anger in his heart had not yet subsided.
Just now, General Shen Xu, in front of everyone, produced the evidence of Xiao Jingyi's murder of Wu'an King Xiao Qichen, as well as the evidence of Xiao Jingyi's murder of local officials.
These conclusive evidences shocked everyone present, but what was unexpected was that the soldiers in the barracks were all silent and did not dare to express their opinions easily.
Shen Xu watched this scene, and he could not help but feel disappointed and angry. He widened his eyes and shouted at the soldiers: "Such a wicked villain! Are you still going to help him? You are the generals of Dazhao! How can you be so confused about good and evil?"
His voice exploded in the tent like thunder, making everyone feel the anger and helplessness in his heart. Shen Xu thought that with these evidences, he could arouse the conscience of the soldiers and jointly fight against Xiao Jingyi, the evil villain, but the reality made him feel disappointed.
After a long time, a general finally sighed and said, "General Shen! Don't you know what kind of person Xiao Jingyi is? We also want to avenge the old King Wu'an! But our families are in his hands. If we dare to rebel against him, our families will have no way out!"
Shen Zheng stood behind Shen Xu, looking at these hesitant generals, and a sense of sadness surged in her heart. She knew their concerns, but she knew even more that if she didn't seize this opportunity, she would never be able to get rid of Xiao Jingyi's control.
So, she took a deep breath and said loudly: "Generals! I know you are worried about the safety of your families, but please believe me, your families have been rescued by Prince Xiao and have been properly settled! You can take your families back after Xiao Jingyi is tried. From now on, no one can use your families to threaten you!"
Shen Zheng's voice echoed in the tent, like a ray of dawn piercing through the dark clouds. The generals looked at each other, with hope in their eyes. They stood up and said excitedly: "Really? That's great! As long as our families can be rescued, we are willing to follow King Wu'an and fight Xiao Jingyi to the end!"
Shen Zheng smiled and nodded, her heart filled with relief and joy. She knew that these generals were all loyal men, but they were threatened and oppressed by Xiao Jingyi. Now that they knew their families were safe, they chose to resist without hesitation. In this way, they could not only seek justice for the old King Wu'an, but also protect the safety of themselves and their families.
"Okay! In that case, we will raise our troops immediately and attack Xiao Jingyi!" Shen Zheng shouted loudly. All the generals responded in unison, with high morale. They quickly prepared the army and announced Xiao Jinghan's evil deeds to all the soldiers!
At this time, Xiao Jingyi was escorted to the military camp by Shang Lu. The soldiers had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Xiao Jingyi, their emotions were instantly ignited. They rushed forward excitedly and threw the horse manure in their hands at Xiao Jingyi. These soldiers were brothers who followed Xiao Jingyi through life and death, but at this moment they were full of resentment and anger towards him.
Xiao Jingyi was hit by horse manure and his body was covered with manure, but he still maintained a proud attitude, with disdain and contempt in his eyes. He didn't seem to care about these insults and attacks, but when he saw the brothers who had followed him, he couldn't help feeling sad.
"Xiao Jingyi, you traitorous bastard! Are you worthy of the old King Wu'an?" a soldier cursed angrily.
"Xiao Jingyi, you are not worthy to be the marshal of the Xiao family army!" another soldier shouted.
The voices of these soldiers rose and fell, and every word was like a thorn piercing Xiao Jingyi's heart. He silently endured these insults, but the expression on his face never changed.
At this time, Xiao Jinghan appeared in the crowd. Holding the tiger talisman, he shouted loudly: "Xiao family army, listen to my order! Now judge the criminal Xiao Jingyi! I declare that from now on, Xiao Jingyi will be expelled from the Xiao family tree. From now on, he is no longer a member of the Xiao family. His name is Coal Ball!"
Hearing Xiao Jinghan's words, Xiao Jingyi's face changed slightly. He knew that once he was expelled from the family tree, everyone would only remember him as a beggar on the street, and he would die anyway! He said stubbornly: "I don't need your Xiao family's surname!"
Shang Lu also stood up at this time, holding a thick book in his hand, which recorded Xiao Jingyi's crimes in detail. He opened the book and began to accuse Xiao Jingyi of his actions.
Everyone was shocked. No one could have imagined that Xiao Jingyi would actually betray his country in order to kill Xiao Qichen! This was truly shocking.
Xiao Jinghan turned to the military advisor and said, "Sort out Xiao Jingyi's crimes, and then send someone to report to His Majesty! Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, that is, Xiao Jingyi personally admitted that it was Queen Mother Xue who ordered him to kill Wu'an Prince Xiao Qichen!"
The military advisor was horrified and said quickly: "Your Highness! This... How can you write this? After all, it involves the Queen Mother!"
Xiao Jinghan glanced at the military advisor coldly and said firmly: "Write!"
The military advisor finished recording with shaking hands, and nervously advised: "Your Majesty! I think it will not be of any benefit to you to confront the Queen Mother!"
Xiao Jinghan smiled coldly and said, "Now this news has spread throughout the entire Dazhao Kingdom, and even the four kingdoms have known it! Your Majesty will definitely not be able to save Queen Mother Xue!"
The military advisor was secretly surprised. He couldn't help but sigh that he had underestimated the young King Wu'an before. Now it seems that his wisdom is far-sighted and really admirable!
