Su Yue rubbed her brows, "Because at the beginning, the Minister of Punishment insisted that Miss Wei was responsible for the murder, so we concluded that this bureau was to frame the Wei family.

The Wei family has military power, and those who covet the military power of the Wei family the most are King Rui and the Duke of England, so we all believe that this matter was set up by King Rui to bring down the Marquis.

In fact, King Rui did have this idea, so after the incident happened, he jumped up and down with others, eager to carry out the crime of the Marquis.

But the mastermind behind this incident was definitely not King Rui, but King Cheng.

Lord Marquis, is my guess correct?"

Wei Cong took a breath, "How could it be King Cheng? King Cheng is the cousin-in-law of the Crown Prince Guangping Hou, and Guangping Hou is also his right-hand man.

Why did he want to kill Prince Guangping? Isn’t this because he cut off his own arm?”

Su Yue sneered, "Sacrifice a prince of Guangping, if you can bring down King Rui, do you think the king will be interested?"

Wei Cong's lips moved, but he couldn't find a reason to refute for the moment.

He has a simple military commander's mind and never likes to study the convoluted thoughts of literati.

Marquis Weiwu frowned and thought carefully, then said: "The atmosphere in the palace today is really weird, I feel like it's a farce.

Your Majesty should also have seen that the mastermind behind the scenes is King Cheng, otherwise he would not deliberately let Xu Qian take the blame."

Su Yue stood up suddenly, "I'm afraid tonight the Minister of Punishment will produce evidence that Xu Qian is the mastermind behind this.

Without further ado, I'm going to catch the real murderer now.

The Ministry of Punishment also asked Mr. Hou to help delay it for a while."

After she finished speaking, she quickly turned around and left.

Wei Jingluo hurriedly chased her out, "Sister Su, wait for me, and I'll go with you."

But there was no sign of Su Yue outside.

Marquis Weiwu patted her and said, "Ms. Su is very organized. If I needed your help, I would have called you just now."

Wei Jingluo looked confused, "Sister Su, do you know who the real murderer is?"

Marquis Weiwu nodded, "She has already guessed it. She made an agreement with us to wait outside the palace and wait for the right time to disguise herself as a guard and follow your brother into the palace.

Originally, we wanted to force the mastermind behind the scenes to reveal who the real murderer was in front of His Majesty, but who knew that King Rui and King Cheng suddenly made such a fuss."

Thinking of the situation in the court, he felt extremely upset. He didn't know if Your Majesty would be equally upset when he saw his two sons like this.

Zhang Hedi was not only upset, he was almost so angry that he had a stomachache.

He deliberately left the Minister of Punishment alone to talk.

"After all, Xu Qian is the only bloodline left by Marquis Wu An in the world, and he is also the Queen's only relative. I really can't bear to hurt his life."

He sighed, "The murderer in this case is Zheng Chengye. As for Xu Qian, he was just used and kept in the dark.

However, we still need to let him suffer some punishment, otherwise the Guangping Marquis Mansion will be very angry."

One sentence decided the outcome of this case.

The Minister of Punishment bowed and said, "I have written it down. I will go back and discuss the details of the case with Marquis Xiao Wu'an."

"Well, please step back."

The Minister of Punishment left, and Gao Jiu came over with a cup of tea and whispered: "Your Majesty, King Rui and King Cheng are still waiting outside the palace."

Zhang Hedi placed the tea cup heavily on the table and said, "Let those two bastards get out of here."

King Rui and King Cheng shrank their necks and entered the door cautiously.

The two of them seemed to have reached an agreement and rushed to their knees as soon as they entered.

"Father, calm down!"

"Father, I know my crime!"

King Cheng glanced at King Rui angrily, secretly hating that he was a moment slower than King Rui in reacting, and hurriedly added, "I also know my guilt!"

Zhang Hedi snorted heavily, "What's wrong?"

King Rui...

Becoming a king.....

Ah, where do I begin to confess?

The two brothers looked at each other and shrank their necks at the same time. No one dared to speak first, like two quails whose necks were pinched.

Emperor Zhang He was furious, "You bastards, you usually just fight each other, but you actually dare to set up a trap to frame my humerus minister.

Look at the two of you, one thinks he has the brains to set up such a trap full of loopholes, but what about the other? He has no brains and actually tries to benefit from this trap and jumps up and down at his own expense!

Do you two treat me as a fool, or do you want to piss me off to death?"

The more he talked, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but smash the teacup out.

King Rui was even more unlucky. He knelt closer to the front and was hit in the forehead by a tea cup.

Tea leaves mixed with blood flowed down his forehead, and he looked indescribably embarrassed.

King Rui's mouth was so painful that he did not dare to cry out, and his neck shrank even more.

When King Cheng saw King Rui's appearance, he felt a little gloating about his misfortune.

The next second, he was kicked to the ground by Zhang Hedi.

"What about you, where are you looking?" Zhang Hedi was furious and wanted to kick him again, but Gao Jiu hugged him around the waist.

"Your Majesty, calm down. The two princes are your biological sons after all. They made mistakes. You just have to teach them slowly."

"I have been teaching them for twenty years, and they still have this kind of virtue. How else can I teach them?" Zhang Hedi was so angry that he raised his feet again, but Gao Jiu coaxed him and helped him sit down.

"I don't care about the two of you. You two should finish this matter separately. I don't want to hear any more words about this matter."

King Rui and King Cheng retreated dejectedly as if they had been granted amnesty.

Zhang Hedi was puzzled and said angrily: "How did I give birth to two idiots like this? The brains of these two people combined are not as good as Achen's."

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "The dragon gives birth to nine sons, and they are all different. Isn't that the truth?"

Emperor Zhang He snorted coldly, "The fact that I can give birth to a son as smart as Achen means that there is nothing wrong with me. It must be that Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu are not smart."

Gao Jiu paused, smiled and nodded, "Everything your Majesty said is right."

"You're such a cunning old man, you can make me happy." Zhang Hedi glared at him and finally had a smile on his face.

"Go out of the palace in person and keep an eye on the Minister of Justice. This case should be brought to Xu Qian's side.

If it weren't for the royal family's face, I really want that bastard Cheng Wang to take the blame."

Gao Jiu said yes, and then left the palace and went to the Ministry of Punishment.

In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, the Minister of Justice was squatting on the ground, patiently persuading Xu Qian, "Little Marquis, Mr. Li has clearly explained the interests to you, why can't you understand the situation clearly?

If you continue to be so stubborn, you won't be like you did just now, only playing fifty boards."

Xu Qian raised his head, cold sweat dripping from his pale face.

"Even if you beat me to death, I'll still say the same thing. I don't know Zheng Chengye, and I didn't harm Qin Ren."

The face of the Minister of Punishment suddenly darkened, "In that case, let's continue beating him until he confesses."

The yamen servant took the order and hit thirty more boards.

Xu Qian's back was bloody and bloody, and his consciousness gradually fell into coma.

The Minister of Punishment raised his hand, and the two officials in charge of the execution retreated.

With a cold face, he picked up the confession written on the table and took Xu Qian's hand to print it.
