  Chapter 1196 Grandfather and grandson meet the anger of the Southern Border King (9)

   "Tell me the truth, did you really see with your own eyes that Sikong Shuo had an affair with Ma Ningyue?"

   "Yeah! I... I was under the bed! I heard it all!"

   "Hear? What you told us yesterday seemed to be seeing."

   "Does it make a difference? It's them anyway! I'm sure!"

   "There's a big difference, my dear sister. If you just heard the voices but didn't see their faces clearly, maybe you heard it wrong, it's not the two of them at all..."

   "I heard that right!"

   "Did they call each other's names?"

   "...no...no..."

   "Maybe just two people with very similar voices."

   "No... no... third brother, it's them!"

   "Maybe they did it for you on purpose, hoping to use your mouth to let us know about their adultery and tempt us to take action against them!"

   This was a random guess by Geng Xin, but for some reason, once it flashed through my mind, it could never be erased. If this guess is correct, then Ma Ningyue is too scary. It's fine to seduce Sikong Shuo, but if she uses this kind of adultery so openly, isn't she afraid that she will be punished to death by them if she is inadvertent?

  Where did she get her confidence? !

  Geng Ling'er saw that the third brother was lost in thought, lifted her skirt, and ran away in a hurry.

   "Third Brother." Geng Huai patted Geng Xin's shoulder lightly.

  Geng Xin came back to his senses, and said slowly: "I'm fine, let's find a way to rescue father first."

   "Do you know who the presiding judge is?" Geng Huai said angrily.

"Who?"

"King Xuan!" Geng Huai's eyes sharpened, and he said angrily: "That guy used to be the prince's follower, and he was only against us! Now that the prince is gone, it's good for him to come out and hang around in front of His Majesty all day long, making it look like How amazing it is to be the eldest son!"

  Geng Xin was silent suddenly, and after a long while, he said dully: "Has His Majesty already attached so much importance to King Xuan? You actually asked him to try your father's case?"

"Maybe it's because King Xuan was wronged in this case? Then An Luhuai is a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At first, His Majesty suspected that it was King Xuan's hands and feet, and gave the noble concubine a little face. Later, An Luhuai testified against his father. I have wronged King Xuan, so it is not surprising that I will make up for King Xuan!" Geng Huai analyzed self-righteously.

  Geng Xin paced back and forth anxiously in the room: "Dare King Xuan take it? That guy has opinions about the Geng family, but he has always behaved with his tail between his legs, and dare not argue with the Geng family—I understand."

  Geng Huai was taken aback for a moment: "What do you understand, third brother?"

   "Rong Lin."

   "Huh? Rong Lin what?"

   "Rong Lin has defected to King Xuan."

   "What? Third brother, don't scare me! The white-eyed wolf brother-in-law is fine with framing his father, but he is still relying on our deadly enemy?" Geng Huai almost jumped up! Since ancient times, when the emperor establishes the heir, it is always to set up the eldest son, not the virtuous, and the eldest son and the eldest son have the greatest chance of seizing the throne. In the past, when the prince was alive, they didn't pay much attention to King Xuan, thinking that King Xuan was just a dog beside the prince. Now that the prince is gone, King Xuan has become the most valued prince by His Majesty's side, which makes them more or less afraid.

   "If Rong Lin hadn't taken refuge in King Xuan, how could he have sent the false witness to Concubine Liu Gui?" Or in other words, if Rong Lin hadn't been backed by him, how could King Xuan dare to take the Geng family's case? Geng Xin narrowed his eyes meaningfully, "Send someone to investigate, has King Xuan waived the right to judge?"

  Geng Huai opened the door, and gave a few instructions to a servant outside the door, and the servant went cautiously.

   An hour later, the servant returned to the study of Geng's family and reported: "I would like to report to the third and fourth sons that King Xuan has already gone to the dungeon and said that he will try the case overnight!"

  The last trace of luck in Geng Xin's heart was gone: "Fourth brother."

   "Third Brother." Geng Huai also realized the seriousness of his gaffe.

   "Call Big Brother back."

  Geng Huai was taken aback, is it... serious enough to require big brother to step in?
