After a moment of silence, Cao Yan spoke: "...General Liu, you can't talk nonsense without real evidence. Please take a seat."
"I am only making assumptions based on the actual situation." The general named Liu looked matter-of-fact. After saying that, he glanced at Baili Wushang before sitting down. That look was quite cautious.
"Your Majesty, look at this..." Cao Yan turned to Emperor Luo and carefully asked for instructions.
"Since we can't produce any evidence here, let's continue interrogating others." Luo Huang said calmly.
"Yes." Cao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Bring the other criminals to court."
Outside, a government official responded, and soon a dozen people were brought to the hall, all of them men. Counting carefully, there were sixteen people in total.
Some are dressing up for the servants, and some are dressing up for the nursing home.
The yamen officials forced these dozen people to kneel on the ground one by one.
"Master Cao, these people are the thieves I captured in the yard where my father was under house arrest." Baili Wuyou explained at the right time.
Everyone's expressions changed and they all looked at these sixteen people.
"Bold thief, how dare you offend the Holy Emperor! Who ordered you, why don't you hurry up and get us?!" Cao Yan's face darkened, he slapped the wooden wall and said coldly.
"..." The sixteen people looked at each other and did not answer.
"You, tell me first, who ordered you to place the Holy Emperor under house arrest?" Cao Yan pointed at the boy kneeling at the front and said sternly.
"Yes...His Royal Highness Prince Kang." The boy hesitated for a moment, then answered slowly.
Everyone has been stunned by the series of news.
Behind the boy, someone immediately gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Asshole! How dare you betray the master?!"
As soon as those people said this, the facts became self-evident. The boy bit out King Kang, and the people behind him immediately accused him of betraying his master. It was self-evident who their master was.
As soon as those fierce people spoke, they seemed to realize that they had said the wrong thing and quickly lowered their heads.
"Quiet!" Cao Yan patted the gavel, and then asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? What is your relationship with King Kang?"
"The villain's name is Duan Ming, and he is a dead soldier of His Highness Prince Kang." The boy replied in a low voice.
"Since you are King Kang's dead soldier, why would you betray King Kang so easily?" Prime Minister Fu couldn't help but interjected.
"The villain...Although the villain is a dead soldier of Prince Kang's palace, he is also loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and understands righteousness. The villain couldn't bear it when he saw the emperor being put under house arrest. Later, he was captured. After careful consideration, he decided to tell the truth.
." The young man named Duan Ming said solemnly.
Hearing this, Prime Minister Fu turned blue with anger. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Duan Ming's nose and asked, "Then do you have evidence to prove that His Highness Prince Kang instigated you?"
Cao Yan carefully glanced at Luo Huang's face, and then reminded Prime Minister Fu in a low voice: "Prime Minister, please sit down first. I will ask about these carefully."
Prime Minister Fu thought about it and felt that his behavior was inappropriate, so he sat down with an annoyed look on his face.
"Okay, you can answer now. Do you have any evidence?" Cao Yan slapped the alarm and looked at the boy on the ground again.
"No." Duan Ming shook his head, lowered his head and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Kang is too careful. He leaves no traces every time he asks us to do things."
