"You're talking nonsense. According to what you said, you were the spy that was discovered ten days ago. Why didn't you go to the palace to report to the Emperor? Why did you wait until now?" The Emperor of Jin coldly said.
"I already said that because of the urgency of the matter, I didn't have time to report to the Emperor. Moreover, if I had told the Emperor in advance, what if the mastermind behind the spy came out to make trouble and prevent me from catching him? Who would be able to bear this responsibility?" Chu Xuanchen said.
Speaking up to here, he cupped his hands towards the Hongyuan Emperor and said: "Emperor, in order to catch this spy, this official ran around for seven days and seven nights. During this time, this official was unable to catch the spy and was unable to eat or sleep in peace. Fortunately, this official did not give up and finally found the spy's whereabouts. In the end, this official caught him in The Emperor of Jin's manor. This official did this for the country, for the safety of the army, and for the people of Chu. This official does not ask for merit, this official only asks for the Emperor to deal with this matter fairly and clear this official's name. "
In other words, Chu Xuanchen was telling the Emperor not to let The Emperor of Jin's false accusation disappoint this loyal official.
When the Hongyuan Emperor heard this, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The Emperor of Jin was so angry that his entire body trembled. He pointed at Chu Xuanchen and roared: "Chu Xuanchen, you're distorting the truth. You clearly went to find Yun Ruoyue and actually said that you were catching a spy. Li Ao is Wang's man. He is not a spy at all. All of this is your framing. Do you think that just because you say he is a spy, he is? Do you have any evidence? "
"If Wang doesn't have any evidence, will he be arrested?" Chu Xuanchen finished speaking and nodded towards Mo Li behind him.
Mo Li immediately presented two things to the Hongyuan Emperor. Everyone looked at them and saw that one was a white snake-shaped jade pendant, and the other was a scroll of military deployment map.
Mo Li immediately knelt down and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, when Li Ao was running away, we saw it with our own eyes. At that time, he was holding a military formation map in his hand. Because he was running away in a panic, he dropped this jade pendant. At that time, hundreds of soldiers saw this jade pendant. The Emperor of Li later sent people to investigate. This snake-shaped jade pendant was exquisitely crafted and was rare in the world. The Emperor had once bestowed it to The Emperor of Jin. However, it was said that the Emperor of Jin later bestowed it to his right-hand man, Li Ao. At that time, His Highness had concluded that Li Ao must be the one who stole the formation map, so His Highness had been searching for him. In the end, His Highness learned that Li Ao was hiding in one of The Emperor of Jin's villas. His Highness immediately led people to capture him. When His Highness caught him, in front of thousands of soldiers, he found the military formation map on Li Ao's body. Therefore, Your Majesty, this general and over a thousand soldiers dare to guarantee with our heads that this Li Ao is the spy who stole the formation map. As for why he stole the formation map and who ordered him to do so, this general and the others do not know. "
"What? In front of thousands of soldiers? "Hongyuan Emperor's face suddenly became gloomy.
With so many soldiers as witnesses, it seemed that Chu Xuanchen was telling the truth. Li Ao was really a spy.
As for who ordered him to do so, he didn't even need to think with his heel to know.
"The Emperor of Jin, why don't you confess? Did you order Li Ao to steal the formation map? Why did you order him to steal it? "Hongyuan Emperor gritted his teeth and glared at The Emperor of Jin in anger.
The Emperor of Jin's face immediately turned pale. He instantly panicked. "Imperial Father, this son didn't order him to do so. I really didn't. Li Ao, quickly tell me. Were you framed by Chu Xuanchen? Quickly tell me! "
"Yes, Your Highness. This lowly one was framed by The Emperor of Li. Not long ago, this lowly one saw that Your Highness was in a bad mood and was depressed. Thus, this lowly one went to scout for information to help Your Highness make a comeback. This lowly one learned from a scout that The Emperor of Li was colluding with the people of Tian Sheng Country. Thus, this lowly one acted on my own initiative and went to the northern barracks to scout for information. This lowly one snuck into the barracks to search for evidence of The Emperor of Li's collusion with the enemy country. This lowly one wanted to give Your Highness a surprise. "
