Chapter 610: When do you want me to impeach you?
At this time, Xiao Heyu stepped forward and said, "Father, Mr. Song has been weak since childhood and has been on the verge of death many times. I can understand his desire to survive, but he really shouldn't use this kind of deception..."
Xie Jingchi said coldly: "According to what the Third Prince said, in order to save your own life, you can disregard the lives of others?"
"Master Xie, there is no need to be angry. Although Song Tingshan tried to use Huang Ying to impersonate Liancheng's daughter, his crime does not deserve the death penalty. Huang Ying's parents did not know the truth and hanged themselves outside Xihua Gate, which is a crime of great disrespect." Zhou Yan stepped forward and spoke.
Xiao Heyu only needed to express his opinion and countless people would immediately agree with him.
Xie Jingchi looked directly at Zhou Yan: "Huang Dayuan and his wife died to seek the truth. Did Lord Zhou only see this as a great disrespect?"
Zhang Weiang said: "Master Xie has now found out the truth, but he never mentioned how Huang Ying died."
Xie Jingchi said in a cold voice: "After investigation, Huang Ying was stabbed to death in Song Tingshan's house."
"Master Xie, do you have any evidence?"
"Bring a witness." Xie Jingchi said in a deep voice.
Not long after, Xie Jingchi's men were brought to the main hall, and before Emperor Qianwu could ask, one of them took the initiative to speak.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know what happened! Your subordinates did kill Miss Huang Ying that day, but I really don't know whether it was your order or not!"
"Minion...Minion can also testify!"
Hearing this, Xiao Tingshan felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, the person who took action that day had been dealt with by him. Even if he could prove that the person was his, Xie Jingchi would not have conclusive evidence.
"That man was bribed and didn't want me to be treated by Mr. Liancheng, so he killed Miss Huangying. I hope you can see through it and give me justice!" Xiao Tingshan spoke with great sorrow and took the initiative.
Xie Jingchi sneered: "What a coincidence, the man who killed him died at home a month ago."
Xiao Tingshan frowned: "Maybe it was the other party who killed him to silence him?"
Unexpectedly, the next moment, the guards brought another person over and said, "Your Majesty, I was bribed by Wenren Zong, a confidant of the Crown Prince Song, to buy the life of Gaul! I plead guilty!"
Xiao Tingshan's heart sank slightly.
Xie Jingchi is really quick.
That’s right, if you want to silence someone, someone has to do it, but he can’t silence everyone unless he does it himself.
Now that he had no one around him to use, he naturally couldn't count on Wenren Sect for everything, so he spent money to get rid of such a small matter. But he never thought that Xie Jingchi would find the handle on him!
"Song Tingshan, what do you have to say?" Emperor Qianwu's expression was uncertain.
Song Tingshan immediately said, "This is nonsense. I know nothing about this matter. Wenren Zong is my best friend and he would never do this."
For a while, the two parties kept arguing, and Xiao Yuncheng's party naturally wanted to bite off a piece of Song Tingshan's meat.
"Xie Jingchi should continue to investigate this matter thoroughly. The Song court is good at filling in the gaps and has ulterior motives. As a result, the Huang couple died tragically. Drag them out and give them twenty lashes of the cane!" Emperor Qianwu spoke in a deep voice and made the decision.
Xiao Tingshan was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Emperor Qianwu would impose such a punishment and not give him any more chance to argue.
He clenched his fists, feeling unwilling.
This kind of humiliation... is really hateful!
I am afraid that from now on, my career will have no hope and Xiao Heyu will completely abandon me!
When the court was dismissed, Xiao Heyu walked to the side of Xie Jingchi and said with a smile: "Master Xie, why do you have to make things difficult for me?"
Xie Jingchi had narrow and long eyes, and there was a hint of evil in those eyes between his straight brows.
"Your Highness's clothes are too gorgeous. I find them an eyesore."
Xiao Heyu was stunned for a moment and felt that Xie Jingchi really didn't know what he was talking about!
"Song Tingshan is nothing to me. And thank you for all your trouble, but you couldn't do anything to him, right?" Xiao Heyu spoke casually, showing no concern in his words.
Xie Jingchi raised the corners of his lips: "Your Highness won, but I didn't lose either."
Xiao Heyu didn't understand, but Xie Jingchi didn't say anything more to him.

When Xie Jingchi was leaving the palace, he happened to meet Xiao Tingshan who was being helped into a carriage, with a deep look in his eyes.
Xiao Tingshan raised his eyes and met his gaze.
Neither of them spoke, each with their own thoughts. After a while, Xie Jingchi took the lead and said, "If the Princess of Changning County knew that the Prince Song was punished with a cane, she would definitely be very happy."
This one sentence triggered Xiao Tingshan's anger.
"Thank you, Master, for supporting her!"
Xie Jingchi pursed his lips: "So what?"
"I don't think I have ever offended Lord Xie." Xiao Tingshan was still unwilling.
Xie Jingchi nodded: "Indeed, I just don't like you."
After saying this, Xie Jingchi walked away without giving Xiao Tingshan a chance to speak again.
Just a few words exhausted Xiao Tingshan. He was breathing in more than out, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, he fainted.

On the other side, Shen Shuyi left the courtyard where Jiuchou was.
It was actually a lucky thing. That day, she let Jiuchou try his luck outside the palace gate, and he actually spotted the people sent by Concubine Jing and kidnapped the nanny who had been beside Concubine Rou.
This person is quite lucky. Most of the people around Concubine Rou were killed, but she was sent to a mass grave and luckily survived.
It happened that Old Madam Qin had some suspicions about the Queen's death. After leaving the palace, she wanted to look for some clues, but she accidentally saved Nanny Zhong.
"Miss, what should we do now?" Jinzhu asked.
"Brother has handed the evidence in his hand to Xie Jingchi. Is there any news from Ge Tingxuan?" Shen Shuyi asked.
"Jiang Li hasn't come back yet. I think we'll get a reply if we wait a little longer..." Jiuchou said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Li came back from outside with red eyes.
"Miss." Jiang Li handed a secret letter to Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi opened it quickly, scanned the pages quickly, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Great!"
Ge Tingxuan has been with Lu Xiao for many years and is highly valued by Ge's father. He does know some secrets of the Ge family.
He only said that the Lu family was in a bad situation now, and asked Ge's father whether the Ge family would be pushed out as scapegoats and whether they could protect themselves.
After a moment's silence, Mr. Ge gave him an answer.
Later, Ge Tingxuan sneaked into his father's study at night and actually found a letter from the mechanism.
This letter was written by Lu Xiao in the past, telling Ge's father where the Luo Kingdom's property was hidden in the Lushan area, so as to forge evidence and slander Jiang Yanhu.
"Jiang Li, don't be anxious. We have come this far. We can do whatever it takes. We must give justice to all the loyal and brave people in the Jiang family." Shen Shuyi comforted softly.
Jiang Li nodded heavily, turned his head, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Xie Mansion.
Shen Shuyi looked at Xie Jingchi and asked seriously, "As far as I know, the witnesses from Jiangnan have already arrived in Beijing. When do you plan to impeach the Third Prince?"
Xie Jingchi looked at her: "When do you want me to impeach you?"
Shen Shuyi paused, puzzled: "Ask me?"
"Yeah." Xie Jingchi responded.
Shen Shu thought he was not joking, and after thinking for a moment, his almond eyes were clear and he said, "Tomorrow."
