The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 212
" It's actually my goal to come to this country to propose trade cooperation. His Majesty must know about boss zi. His trade union has a river line transportation that is very helpful in the delivery of goods. Through the river, delivery becomes faster. In addition, the burden of costs incurred is also smaller than through land lines. Therefore, I came directly to this country to apply for cooperation with him. "
Wang yi took a breath and threw it away. Back to continue the sentence. " I actually came to this country along with my personal bodyguard. It's just that in the middle of the trip there was a misunderstanding that made him have to be detained by the investigation agency. Therefore, I personally pleaded with His Majesty to help me free him. We came here purely to work together. With this cooperation, I believe the trade between shu and Jin will be even more crowded. Not only trade but also diplomatic relations between the two kingdoms will also develop rapidly. " Papar wang yi.
Sima shao listened to wang yi's explanation. After that, he asked to be sure. " Is your bodyguard a foreign man with blue eyes and golden hair? "
" That's right, Your Majesty. "
Now the atmosphere of the hall was calm. Suddenly back to raunch. The officials of the two factions were busy arguing with each other.
" Are you really the crown prince of the shu kingdom? Not prince rui's man to let us free the stranger? " other officials from the noble faction again attacked Sima rui.
Wang yi looked at the noble. Then spoke in a cynical tone to him. " I had no idea in this kingdom a prince was so disrespected. Even an ordinary official could speak impolitely accusing the prince. You know if it's official shu, make sure your tongue's gone from your mouth. "
Hearing wang yi's scathing speech made the office no longer talk just to refute. He put his lips inside and closed his mouth tightly.
Sima shao this time looked at the official who insulted his son earlier. No one knew, even though Sima shao was just silent as if he did not care. He had already marked the official and soon he would take retribution secretly.
" If you still have doubts. Please contact the kingdom of Shu to prove whether I am a fraud or not. " Wang yi swept his gaze at all the officials in the hall. And just then his eyes caught the figure of the official Ma.
Wang yi's body jerked. The shadow as he was harassed by master Ma revolved around his head. A feeling of disgust suddenly crept all over the body. He did not expect that the mentally ill man was one of the officials in the Jin Empire.
" Your Majesty, may I report something. " Task wang yi shortly after taking off her gaze that locked onto Ma's office.
" Say. "
" Thank you, Your Majesty. Actually during my trip in Jin kingdom. Once I had an unpleasant experience. My personal bodyguard and I had an incident where we were one of the abductees. "
" WHAT! Tell me more details "
Wang yi nodded then went back to recounting his natural experience. " We were hitching a ride on a house on the edge of the forest. But who would have guessed that we would be anesthetized and in a husk later. And worse yet. We were sold by one of the officials in this Empire Your Highness. Although we both managed to escape right then and there. But not with the other victims. "
Sima shao's face was getting ugly. It has been confirmed that its officials were involved in the crime. After cleaning from the henchmen of the queen mother, it turns out that his efforts are not enough. There are still officials who betray the kingdom.
" Tell me who the office is! " Sima shao exclaimed with emphasis. His palms clenched very tightly.
Wang yi turned around and turned to look at the official Ma. All eyes follow wang yi's direction of view. The panic of official Ma was no longer hidden. Under the dozens of pairs of eyes that looked at him he felt as if he was being swallowed. Like being in the mouth of a tiger ready to pounce on him. That is how the Ma office felt.
" It has not been a long time to see you, Mr. Ma. What an unexpected meeting. " Sneaky grin wang yi stared at the pias face of Mr. Ma.
" A-what do you mean Prince. Have we met before. " Elak mister Ma. Although his fate was like standing on a thin layer of ice. He won't just give up. Thinking that wang yi had no evidence that could incriminate him.
" It seems like Mr. Ma's memory is so bad. Do I need to help you remember it. "
" I'm sorry but it seems you're wrong to remember the prince. There are not so many similar people in this world. I'm afraid you mistook me and thought of me as the perpetrator who did evil to you. "
" That's right prince. Even though you are the crown prince of the shu kingdom but it does not necessarily make you free to accuse the Jin royal officials. " Defend one of Ma's fellow masters.
" That's right. Even if you experience these crimes, you should not say it in official forums like this. You should have reported it to the bureau of investigators. "
" Your attitude is already including slander. I hope I can get justice here. " Master Ma acted as a victim.
Receiving a completely unexpected counterattack. Make money yi a little freaked out. He did not expect to get a different reaction to what was on his mind.
Wang yi was at a loss for words. The sentence that had been prepared earlier suddenly disappeared from his head. ' What should I do. That cunning fox turned out to be more slippery than I thought. ' Thought wang yi.
Sima rui looked at the desperate wang yi. He praised the man's stupidity for walking without thinking first. Even after this there was no step back for him. So the only way is to keep moving forward.
" Do you have any proof of the prince. We cannot punish someone based on words alone. " Sela Sima rui's. Impressed himself defending master Ma. But for a smart person, it is a clue.
" Proof? " His master and Sima rui nodded.
As if I just got guidance. Wang Yi remembered something.
" Your Majesty, I have proof. Please send someone to the prince rui residence to take my personal belongings. " Pinta wang yi on Sima shao.
Sima shao nodded in agreement then asked one of the eunuchs to go to Sima rui's residence.
At the end there. Mr. Ma who had previously found his confidence, was again struck by panic. It was as if his fate was made up and down following the rhythm of his heart beating irregularly.
After waiting for a while. Sima shao's eunuch finally came. In his hand carried a large enough cloth package.
" Send it to Prince Yi. " Tell Sima shao to the eunuch.
Wang yi took out a white jade. With Ma's character clearly engraved. He was going to hand it over to Sima shao. Eunuch Liu took it and gave it to his king.
Sima shao noticed the jade. In this world, jade functions not only as decoration but as identity. Therefore jade with letter characters cannot be sold freely.
" Officer Ma can you explain this. " Press Sima shao showing the jade that was in his hand.
Chief official Ma seemed to be struck by a heavy object when he saw his lost jade. He did not expect that it would be in the hands of money yi.
' How could it be in his hands? ' Inner master Ma.
Then his memory returned to the incident when he fainted at that time. Upon awakening, he lost money and other valuable objects.
' Was it at that moment? ' Thought.
" Why are you silent ma office?! " Sima Shao's exclaim made mister Ma regain his senses.
" Sorry, Your Majesty. " Sweet Mr. Ma.
" I don't need your apology. All I need is an explanation from you. "
Now it's Mr. Ma's turn to feel cornered. His head was completely empty. There was no reason attached to his head.
" I don't know Your Majesty why it's in Prince Yi's hands. It's just that a few days ago it was gone. Maybe he fell somewhere and was accidentally found by him. " Eventually master Ma could only use cliche grounds to avoid accusations.
Sima rui who heard the reason master Ma could only shake his head. Did he not know that he had just dug his own grave.
" Where and when did you lose this thing, wasn't it important. If someone loses it is impossible not to notice it. " This time wang yi opened his voice, refuting Master Ma's reasoning.
" i.. "
Master Ma was speechless. It was made silent by wang yi. If he lies about his time and place. It was clear that His Majesty the emperor would lower the order to inspect the place. But if he is honest then it has been made sure all his crimes will be exposed. It's a hard choice.
" For it seems that master Ma has trouble saying it. Then let me tell your Majesty. " Wang yi turned around and faced Sima shao. Then go back to his words.
" Your highness. At that time, when I managed to escape. I deliberately took out some items belonging to Master Ma. And one of the items I picked up was this jade. Wherever I can remember. Please Your Majesty check the place out. Then there will be evidence of Mr. Ma's involvement with illegal auctions. "
Master Ma quickly advanced forward and prostrated himself.
" No, Your Majesty, he's lying. I am innocent, Your Majesty. I'm defamed. I'm not sick. Where may I harass him while I have a wife and a daughter of His Majesty. Everyone knows that I am a faithful husband. There is no way I would do such immoral acts. " Substantiate Mr. Ma while prostrating and banging his head slowly to the floor several times.
" Faithful man? You're loyal because you don't like women. Like a normal man who is asked to marry a man. There will be a feeling of disgust. So did you. You prefer a man who's against the norm here. That's why you married your wife so that your rot is not exposed. " Smooing wang yi. He even looked at the disgust of Master Ma who was prostrating right beside him.
" SHUT YOUR MOUTH! " Shouted master Ma. This time his patience had disappeared. Anyway, everything's done. There is no point in pretending.
" You finally showed your real face. " Cibir wang yi.
Mr. Ma is inflamed. He got up and was about to attack Wang yi. Sima Rui had already ordered the bodyguards to arrest Mr. Ma. Be the attack of master Ma can be failed.
" let go. Goddamn bum. Unhand me! " Master ma continued to thrash but his strength was no stronger than the two bodyguards holding him back, making his efforts end in vain.
" Take him and lock him up. " Titah sima shao.
A situation that cornered the officials of the noble faction. They did not expect that one of their comrades would commit such an outrageous act of immorality. No more sympathy for Master Ma. The taste melted and turned into disgust. None of them dared to open their mouth.
Because for them, sexual perversion is a very embarrassing taboo. Even these deeds were cursed by their ancestors. He thinks it's better to be a killer than to do something like that animal.
The riot of the court hall was finally over. Wang yi gets justice and also his cooperation. Arthur will also be released at that time.
***********
At the same time, but in a different place.
Lucy came to sima rui's residence. He decided to visit his uncle, Gaia, after hearing the news that his sister's daughter had just been kidnapped.
" Can you not do something dangerous. I know you intend to investigate the case to help Arthur. But not by endangering yourself. Why do you have a heilong and marry a prince and a great general if you still do it yourself. It is a waste of resources. " Push lucy creates a small burst of saliva.
Ziyan rubbed her slightly wet face. " Aunty, you're overreacting. Who said I was wasting bi resources. I use everything I have. I got important information from heilong, and protection from sima rui. I couldn't have done that dangerous act if I hadn't found out first. The reason I did all of that is because what happened to Arthur had something to do with my husband. " Ziyan.
Both lucy's eyebrows furrowed. " you mean? "
