Chapter 621: Geng Wang commits suicide, Shen Tang is shocked
"Originally, I wanted to keep this trump card for a few more days, but it seems it's time to play it out."
After receiving Zhao Shen's order, the Jin envoy quickly interrogated Geng Wang under the leadership of Zhang Jun! And of course there would be no surprise in the result. Geng Wang's confession was the same as before!
And on the night when the Jin envoy interrogated Geng Wang, the prison guard who delivered the meal came outside Geng Wang’s cell!
After handing the food to Geng Wang, he said expressionlessly, "Master Geng, some things should be settled.
If you delay it any longer, it will be detrimental to everyone! The boss has said that all his promises will be fulfilled, so you can go with peace of mind."
As soon as the words fell, the officer didn't wait for Geng Wang's reply, he just turned around and left.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Shen did not go to Daqing Palace at all.
After all, the main hall is now empty, and even if you go there, you will only be angry.
Therefore, after hearing that Wang Quan had come to report, he directly summoned Zhang Jun and Du Min who came in Chongzheng Hall.
"See Your Majesty!"
After the two saluted, they sat down at Zhao Shen's signal.
"You have already found out everything!"
Zhao Shen took the initiative and asked.
Du Min nodded, "Your Majesty, I have already investigated clearly, and I am convinced that this matter was exactly what Geng Wang did. Geng Wang was an official of the Song Dynasty, but not only did he not want to repay His Majesty's kindness, but he did such a treasonous and unethical thing. I thought, He should be sentenced to death to serve as a warning to others!"
"snort!"
Zhao Shen snorted coldly, "This Geng Wang is really hateful! Du Min, you are here on behalf of the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, and this matter also concerns the Princess of the Kingdom of Jin.
Therefore, I send five hundred imperial guards to you, and I will leave this Geng Wang to your disposal, which can be regarded as an explanation to your country.
What do you think?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Du Min agreed immediately.
"good!"
Zhao Shen sneered in his heart, "This time, I want to see if you dare to stop the envoy of the Jin Kingdom! I will definitely kill Geng Wang!"
"King Quan, you personally select five hundred guards and give them to Du Min.
In drafting the decree, the county magistrate of Lianli City, Geng Wang, colluded with the gangsters. This is treacherous and unethical, and should be punished and executed. Du Min is ordered to..."
"It's not good, Your Majesty..."
At this moment, a hasty voice suddenly came in.
Then, Wang Hu was seen entering the main hall under the guidance of a chamberlain with a panic look on his face.
"Why are you so nervous!"
Zhao Shen's face darkened. How could Wang Hu be so upset because he was promoted to the Imperial City Secretary?
Wang Hu bowed down directly in front of Zhao Shen and said, "Your Majesty, the criminal Geng Wang committed suicide."
"What!"
One sentence made Zhao Shen's expression change drastically!
Geng Wang must die, but the time and way of death should never be like this.
If he was beheaded by Zhao Shen or Du Min, it would mean that he died in the hands of Zhao Shen, which also proves that Zhao Shen had suppressed those civil servants.
However, now that Zhao Shen's decree has not been issued and the matter has not been finalized, Geng Wang has died or committed suicide, so Zhao Shen's goal cannot be achieved.
"Then Geng Wang is on death row in the Imperial City. How could he die for no reason?"
Zhao Shen said angrily.
"I deserve death for my crime. Huang Xiangu, the Imperial City's Chief of Staff, is actually a dead man of unknown origin. I just discovered that not only Geng Wang is dead, but Huang Xiangu, the Chief of Staff, is also dead.
Moreover, Huang Xiangu was the only person who came into contact with Geng Wang last night..." At this moment, Wang Hu's face was full of fear, and he also knew that this time things would be troublesome.
Geng Wang's death was a direct blow to Zhao Shen. After all, even in the end, Geng Wang did not die in his hands.
There was also a dead soldier in the Imperial City Division, and even the clues had been cut off. Even if Zhao Shen knew that those people must be responsible for this matter, he had no evidence.
"Wang Hu, if you dare to misunderstand me, you deserve to die!"
Zhao Shen is so angry that he cannot be forgiven!
Finally, because of the arrival of the golden envoy, he had the upper hand on this matter, and it was soon settled. However, he did not expect that at this last moment, things would turn out like this.
"My lord, your crime deserves death!"
Wang Hu kowtowed repeatedly!
"Go away, I'll give you three days. If you can't find any reason, just come to see me!"
Zhao Shen said to Wang Hu harshly.
This Wang Hu could become the Imperial City Secretary and was also Zhao Shen's confidant.
However, what happened this time made Zhao Shen so furious that he even wanted to kill Wang Hu directly at this moment.
However, even though he knew that it was almost impossible to find out what he wanted to find, he still held on to a glimmer of extravagant hope.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty..." Although the knife was still hanging on his head, he finally had three days to relax. At this moment, Wang Hu could only hope that his life would not end.
He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Your Majesty, there is a blood letter left in Geng Wang's cell!"
As he spoke, he took out a blood-stained piece of cloth from his arms.
Wang Quan took it, opened it, and raised it in front of Zhao Shen with both hands!
Zhao Shen stared at the past, but the next moment he became even more angry! Above the blood letter was Geng Wang's writing.
There is not much writing on it, except that he was beaten and unjustly accused, and he did not live up to His Majesty's kindness.
Now that he has been unjustly imprisoned and has no way to escape, he can only die to clear his mind!
"Okay! So brave!"
Zhao Shen waved his hand and slapped the bloody book on the ground. How could he not know that these people were demonstrating against him?
Even if he knew that there were no problems in the previous interrogation, so what?
Once word spreads, it will be an unjust case, and it will directly drive people to death.
In fact, even if Zhao Shen wanted to find a way to explain it, he couldn't.
After all, people's minds have always been biased towards the weak, and now that Geng Wang commits suicide, in the eyes of the people, Geng Wang is definitely an unjust death...
When Zhao Shen was furious, Shen Tang also received the news of Geng Wang's suicide.
When the news came, Shen Tang was almost shocked!
Shen Tang knew about the cruelty of court struggle, but he had never really experienced it.
Only now did he understand the danger! A Geng Wang's death was naturally not a pity. However, what was terrible was that those people were able to make Geng Wang commit suicide. This kind of power was enough to shock people.
Coupled with the addition of an escort from the Imperial City Department, two lives disappeared in such an instant. The ruthlessness of these people's methods can be seen clearly!
After being stunned for quite a while, Shen Tang finally came to his senses from this incident.
"Perhaps, what Zhang Xiang said is right! Although the struggle in the court was not bloody, it was still extremely cruel.
There is no room for any kindness! Fortunately, there are other arrangements, otherwise, they will really succeed this time."
