Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

Chapter 340 Cuckold

"Please, Father, seek justice for Jin Qian and severely punish those who harmed him!"

Gao Zhijun knelt down and pleaded with the emperor.

"I will naturally uphold justice for Jinqian. I will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will I let a bad person go. Princess, please stand up!"

The emperor said.

"Thank you, Father!"

After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she stood up and stood aside.

"Why don't you tell the truth?"

The emperor scolded.

"I'm recruiting! I'm recruiting!"

A dark and burly man kneeling on the ground spoke first. He should be the boss among the six.

"We are the bandits of Wolong Mountain. A few days ago, our leader received a business. Someone asked us to go down the mountain to assassinate a person and gave us one thousand taels after the mission was completed. Our leader sent six of us down the mountain to assassinate that person. Everything I said is true. I didn't know that the person I wanted to assassinate was the number one scholar or the emperor's nephew. If I knew, our leader would never dare to accept the job. Please, Your Majesty, have mercy and spare us!"

"Everything Brother Hu said is true. We really didn't know he was the top scholar. Otherwise, we wouldn't dare to do it even if we had ten guts!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive us this time for our confession!"

…………

"Who hired you? Do you know him?"

The emperor asked the bandits.

"this………"

"Brother Hu, don't worry about it. We are all going to die, so why can't we give her up?"

"That's right, it's all because of her that we are like this."

When the bandits saw that their leader was unwilling to speak, they all cursed him angrily.

It's already this time, why are you still caring about that bitch?

Ever since the six bandits were brought in, Mrs. Hou's heart has been beating faster and her breathing has become rapid. She clenched her fists tightly, and her nails dug deeply into the flesh, oozing out traces of blood, but she was completely unaware.

Her reaction did not escape the eyes of Gao Zhijun and the emperor. They both sneered in their hearts, wondering how she dared to harm others with such ability to respond.

The emperor deliberately frightened her, so he said to the bandits: "Will you tell me?"

"I...said, she...is..."

The bandit named Brother Hu became even more frightened after being reprimanded by the emperor, and spoke stutteringly.

Brother Hu's words made the ministers' hearts rise in their throats and they felt anxious.

The Marquis's wife was even more nervous and might faint at any time.

She felt that this moment was torture.

"I say she is the wife of Marquis Anyang!"

One of the bandits couldn't stand it anymore and he spoke out directly.

"What? The one who hired the murderer turned out to be the Marquis' wife. She just boasted about how much she loved the number one scholar and treated him as her own son. It turns out that she was just pretending and performing for us. I believed her and thought she was a good stepmother."

"That's right. I thought so just now. We were all deceived by her."

"I remember that she seemed to be a concubine. She was promoted to a regular concubine after the eldest princess left. I didn't expect that someone who is not presentable would have such dirty and vicious thoughts."

"It's disgusting to think that we are in the same circle with such a person who is not presentable."

The women were discussing in low voices, and the ministers were also muttering.

"For a lowly bitch who can't even show up on stage, he actually harmed his own son. He is such a scoundrel!"

"That's right. There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. No matter what, the top scholar is his legitimate son, with pure blood. He is also the eldest princess's son and the emperor's nephew. How can he be better than those sons? I really don't know what the Marquis of Anyang thinks?"

"What can I think? His wife drugged him with drugs and brainwashed him. You know how powerful pillow talk is. How many men can resist it in bed?"

"Even if it's just pillow talk, you'll always wake up after it's over. How can you let a woman ride on your head and bully others? You should show your authority as the head of the family."

"Marquis Anyang is stupid. The number one scholar is his own son. He will bring prosperity to the Wei family in the future. This is something we can't even imagine. With the number one scholar and the relationship with the emperor, his career and wealth will soar. People have brought huge wealth to his doorstep, but he doesn't want to accept it. Do you think he is stupid?"

The discussions of both sides reached the ears of Anyang Hou. He hated himself at this moment. He hated himself for being blind and marrying such a cruel and vicious woman who not only killed his original wife, but also killed his legitimate son.

The ministers were right. With Huo Jinqian, his career was bright and he would rise rapidly.

My son is my cash cow, and he brings me endless wealth.

But what did he do? He pushed wealth away and killed the money tree.

The marquis's wife also heard the discussions among the other women, and she felt angry and twisted.

She will not let any of these people go.

"Madam Hou, do you have anything else to say?"

The emperor's angry question interrupted the marquis's vicious thoughts, and she hurried to explain herself.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! They are the ones who slandered me. I don't even know them. Please, Your Majesty, clear my name!"

"Innocent? Unjust? Defamation? How did he slander you?"

The emperor didn't expect that this vicious woman would still not repent even at this point, which really made him angry to death.

If I didn't need to keep her for the time being, I would have wanted to tear her into pieces!

"Your Majesty, please listen to my defense... No, please listen to my defense. I don't know any of the Wolong Mountain bandits at all. They are wrongly accusing me. Yongqi is the Marquis' son, so he is also my son. How could I harm my own son? Isn't this nonsense?"

"I have no grudge against you, why do you want to harm me?"

The wife of Marquis Anyang tried to remain calm and defend herself, then loudly rebuked the bandits.

"You know that there is no grudge, so why did you force us to kill the number one scholar, who is also the emperor's nephew? This is a capital crime that will kill all nine generations of our clan. How can you be so vicious? If you want to die, why do you drag us along?"

Brother Hu said with a sneer.

"Nonsense, I don't even know you, how could I hire you to kill someone?"

The Marquis's wife refused to admit it and no one could do anything to her.

"You don't know him? You are very familiar with our village leader. You often come to our village to look for him, but you forgot about him in just a few days!"

Brother Hu was so angry that he revealed everything.

This big news shocked everyone so much that they couldn't believe it, and some even thought about the situation secretly.

What good could a woman do when she went to the mountain stronghold? Among the bandits, could a woman still be innocent? Moreover, the bandits said that the woman went there voluntarily, which meant that she had a close relationship with the village chief.

This amount of information was difficult for everyone to absorb. The ministers all looked at Marquis Anyang with sympathy. He was really cuckolded.

"Nonsense, I don't know any leader of Wolong Mountain! He is slandering me. Your Majesty, please help me and give me justice!"

"My Lord, you must believe me. I am innocent. I married you, gave birth to your children, and took care of everything in your mansion. How could I betray you?"

The Marquis's wife asked the emperor to make the decision and assured Marquis Anyang that she had not done anything to betray him.

"I have a handkerchief here. It was given to our village leader by the wife of Marquis Anyang. Later, I picked it up."

Brother Hu revealed another big piece of news, took out a handkerchief from his arms and waved it.

Gao Zhijun took the handkerchief from Brother Hu, on which was embroidered the Chinese character "梅". Aunt Liu's name, Liu Yumei, also had the Chinese character "梅".

Gao Zhijun handed the handkerchief to the queen. The queen looked at it and glared at the wife of Anyang Marquis: "As I remember, the wife's name seems to be Liu Yumei, right? There is a word "plum" embroidered on it, so it should be the wife."

After the Queen finished speaking, she gave the handkerchief to the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess looked at it and then had someone show it to the ministers' wives.

The female members of the family all took turns to look at it. They all saw the word "plum" embroidered on the handkerchief and believed that the handkerchief belonged to the wife of Marquis Anyang.

Seeing this, the Marquis's wife knew it was useless to deny it, so she had to admit it.
