Chapter 179

The upright and righteous Jia Hui said angrily!

Xu Lingyi was shocked: "!"

Lin Bo and Gao Hui on the side were also surprised!

Gao Hui looked at the father and son, Jia Zhen, in shock: "Really?"

This was a major crime, even she knew that.

The imperial court and the Emperor would surely be furious and punish them severely.

Even if the Duke were still alive, he would not fare well!

Let alone his descendants.

Jia Hui looked at Gao Hui and nodded heavily: "Absolutely true! If you don't believe me, follow me to see for yourself!"

"Besides the missing items from the Military Commission, I also found multiple short crossbows, heavy crossbows, and siege crossbows!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

Gao Hui was even more shocked!

She looked at the father and son, Jia Zhen, as if they were lunatics and dead men!

Xu Lingyi and Lin Bo both looked at them with extremely sharp eyes!

Merit Officer Hongli and Law Officer Zongbao were also shocked: "Privately storing short crossbows is equivalent to treason! Let alone heavy crossbows and siege crossbows, these heavy siege weapons!"

Actually.. 0

If the military nobles like the Four Kings and Eight Dukes privately stored a small amount of armor and conventional weapons,

It wouldn't be considered a major crime.

The Emperor and the court would turn a blind eye.

After all, they were military nobles.

They had personal guards and such at home.

Ordinary laws could only be effective on ordinary people.

They were not very effective on these top-tier powerful nobles.

But heavy crossbows were something no force could ever tolerate!

Including imperial princes, grandsons, and royal relatives!

Because these were definitely major lethal weapons!

No Emperor or court would ever allow private storage!

After all, what are you collecting siege crossbows for?

Any violation is treated as treason!

There is absolutely no room for luck!

The father and son, Jia Zhen, were scared pale, almost fainting!

"Impossible, impossible!"

"I didn't."

"It must be you, Jia Hui, talking nonsense."

Jia Zhen glared at Jia Hui in fierce anger.

Xu Lingyi said coldly: "Whether it's true or false, one look will tell!"

Immediately, with a cold face, he joined Jia Hui.

They escorted him to the warehouse of the Ningguo Prefecture.

Along the way, Jia Zhen kept shouting.

Until they arrived at a warehouse.

The few Ningguo Prefecture servants guarding the door were controlled on the ground.

After their group entered,

They immediately discovered a large amount of armor, weapons, etc., in the opened boxes.

All of them had markings.

For example, the boxes were all labeled with "Military Commission" and so on.

Various pieces of evidence proved that these were indeed the items missing from the Military Commission.

The most shocking were the huge heavy crossbows, short crossbows, and crossbow bolts!

Xu Lingyi, with his thick, ink-like eyebrows and eyes sharp as swords, shouted in a low voice: "Jia Zhen, the evidence is ironclad; do you have anything else to say!"

"Thump!"

Jia Zhen was so scared his knees went soft and he fell to the ground!

He looked dazed, terrified, and incredulous!

"Impossible, impossible."

"This is absolutely not mine!"

Jia Rong was so scared he peed himself!

Making Gao Hui and the others feel disgusted!

Suddenly, Jia Zhen thought of something, and he glared at Jia Hui in anger: "It's you, it must be you framing me."

【125】 You Shi: Save me, you dead ghost! Ruthless after the act! Joyfully obtaining Zhang Liao, Cai Yan sisters

Jia Hui found it amusing: "Your desperate dog-jumping-over-the-wall look is too ridiculous."

Gao Hui nodded subconsciously.

She couldn't help but say to Jia Zhen with disdain: "If you're going to lie, find something plausible; when these Military Commission people came, everyone saw them, and they weren't carrying anything else, let alone so many boxes of items!"

Her voice was very pleasant.

Jia Hui praised Gao Hui with an appreciative look: "This young lady is truly smart; that's right, the missing grain, fodder, and supplies found are not just these; there are other warehouses, and even under Jia Zhen's bed, short crossbows and armor were discovered."

"With so many supplies, they must have been moved in secretly."

"And the mansion couldn't have been unaware; there must be a large number of people involved in this tangled web!"

Hearing his praise, Gao Hui felt a subconscious joy in her heart.

Then she realized.

"Wait, didn't I come here to settle scores with him? Why am I happy!"

Gao Hui was foolishly stunned.

Immediately, she busily shook her little head desperately.

Xu Lingyi frowned.

He subconsciously felt that this matter seemed to be full of strangeness and suspicion!

But he couldn't find anything wrong for a moment.

At this time, he thought of Jia Zhen's words.

Then he thought of the grudge between Jia Hui and Jia Zhen.

So he didn't rush to make a judgment.

Instead, he coldly asked the few servants kneeling and guarding the warehouse: "I ask you, did Jia Hui and the others bring items in? Tell the truth, watch your heads!"

He spoke Jia Hui's name bluntly!

Open and aboveboard!

Those servants all shook their heads and said: "No."

This made Xu Lingyi put aside his suspicion.

The Ningguo Prefecture's own people said so.

What else was there to say?

Immediately,

Xu Lingyi looked coldly at the father and son, Jia Zhen: "I will report this to the Emperor immediately!"

Jia Zhen shouted desperately: "I am wronged, I am wronged, I am wronged! Marquis of Yongping, my lord, you must believe me; I, Jia Zhen, wouldn't dare to commit such treason even if I had ten guts!"

Hearing him say this,

It instead reminded Xu Lingyi of many years ago when the Retired Emperor was on the throne.
