After hearing Shen Lang's words, the face of Commander Tuxedo of the Black Water Platform changed.
"Shen Lang, do you think I am a three-year-old? This is the capital. Do your people dare to openly kill people here? Do you want to get yourself killed? "
Shen Lang said, "Commander Yan, how could my people kill people? The Kim family is the most law-abiding. Your family has done so many bad things. Maybe your house was suddenly on fire after being struck by lightning and your family was burned to death. "
The man in the tuxedo snapped, "Do you think I will believe that? Do you think I will believe that? How dare you curse my family? You are courting death! "
Then, he picked up the red-hot soldering iron again, ready to take action.
"Shen Lang, your pretty face must look very good if it is burnt. Hahaha!"
At this moment, a warrior of the Black Water Platform rushed in and whispered in the ear of the man in the tuxedo.
"Your honor, your house was struck by lightning and the fire was so fierce that no one escaped. All 15 members of your family were burned to death."
As soon as the words came out.
The man in the tuxedo seemed to be struck by lightning.
He couldn't believe his ears at all.
Was it true?
His parents, his elder brother, his sister-in-law, his younger brother, and his younger sister were all gone?
His sister-in-law, his sister-in-law, they're all gone?
Then, the man in the tuxedo roared at Shen Lang with bloodshot eyes, "You are courting death! You are courting death! I am from the Black Water Platform. How dare you kill my family? Are you courting death? "
Shen Lang said calmly, "I have told you that the fire was caused by lightning. It is the wrath of God. It has nothing to do with me."
The man in the tuxedo snapped, "Someone must have set the fire. Have you caught them? Have you caught them? "
The warrior of the Black Water Platform said, "The Supreme Court, the Pingan County, and the Central Governor's Mansion have all gone there. They found no one or any traces of arson."
The man in the tuxedo almost went crazy. He roared, "Even at night, even if they were sleeping, it is impossible that no one escaped. How could they all be burned to death?"
The warrior of the Black Water Platform lowered his head and said nothing.
Things were really weird.
No kindling was found at the scene. There was no dry wood or kerosene.
The fire was very sudden and almost spontaneously combusted.
Moreover, it was a green flame. A will-o '-the-wisp.
When the neighbors went to put out the fire, they found that some of the flames couldn't be extinguished even with water.
Furthermore, all fifteen members of the family were burned to death. None of them managed to escape.
It was extremely strange.
Therefore, many of the neighbors said that the Yan family had done many evil things and that a malicious ghost had come to take revenge.
The man in swallowtail was furious. He picked up the whip and lashed it at Shen Lang.
"Pa …"
The whip landed on Shen Lang.
In an instant, a bloody mark appeared.
Shen Lang's body shuddered violently. He was in so much pain that his eyes turned green. He sucked in a breath of cold air.
He had never been beaten so severely before.
This time, the pain was unprecedented.
However, Shen Lang, who usually screamed at the slightest pain, did not make a sound at this time. He just stared at the man in the swallowtail coat.
"What are you looking at? What are you looking at? "The man in swallowtail said sternly," I'll burn your eyes blind. How dare you kill my whole family? If you still dare to glare at me, I'll poke your eyes blind. "
At this time, the Black Water Platform warrior on the side said lightly, "Your honor, I've sent someone to protect your other family, but your wife and two young masters went out to play in the afternoon and haven't returned yet."
As soon as the words came out, the face of the man in swallowtail coat trembled violently.
"I didn't do anything. I don't know anything." Shen Lang said, "But the capital is not peaceful either. Your son must have been kidnapped. Maybe they will come to ask for ransom later."
Shen Lang's tone was very calm.
But he had decided that he would kill the whole family of the man in swallowtail coat.
Even his two teenage sons would be sent to Jinshan Island to work in the mines until they died.
After a moment.
A warrior of the man in swallowtail coat rushed in and handed over a box.
He opened it and saw a hand, a woman's hand.
There was also a note.
"Your honor, your wife poisoned the shopkeepers of five merchants just because they did the same business as you.
When your two sons were eleven years old, they began to harm the girls in the neighborhood. I, Bitter Joy, temporarily took your family in.
Please prepare a hundred million gold coins for the ransom. "
The man in swallowtail coat of Black Water Platform trembled when he saw this.
Was he fooling a ghost?
Bitter Joy the bandit only operated in Tiannan Province. When did he come to the capital?
And prepare a hundred million gold coins for the ransom? Even if you kidnapped the crown prince, the Monarch couldn't come up with a hundred million gold coins. Not to mention a hundred million, they couldn't even come up with ten million gold coins, or even less.
The man in swallowtail coat suddenly pulled out his knife and put it on Shen Lang's neck, shouting, "Where is my son? Where is he? "
Shen Lang said, "Be careful of the knife. It's the law of nature and karma. No matter which part of my body you cut with your knife, you may cut your son even more deeply. "
The man in swallowtail coat said sternly, "Don't hurt my family!"
Shen Lang said, "Your family has done a lot of evil. According to the law of the State of Yue, they should have been killed long ago. Bitter Joy is really doing justice on behalf of heaven. I've heard of him. He is cruel and merciless, but he never kills innocent people. Those he kills are all people who deserve to die."
"Fuck you, Bitter Joy." The man in swallowtail coat roared.
He really wanted to skin Shen Lang and use dozens of torture methods on him.
But he really didn't dare to do it.
Both of his sons were in the hands of the other party.
Shen Lang said lightly, "It's Su Nan who wants to kill me. It has nothing to do with your Black Water Platform or the Xue family. Superintendent Yan didn't let me enter the castle of Black Water Platform because he didn't want to be killed by others. You just want to vent Xue Li's anger and please her. Why do you have to get involved? The price is too high. "
It was true.
Xue Li suffered the most painful torture last time. Her crotch was rotted for half a month. It was worse than death.
Although there was no evidence that Shen Lang did it, he could just assume that Shen Lang was guilty. Whether it was Shen Lang who did it or not, he would treat it as such.
"Man in swallowtail coat, this is a war between me and Su Nan. There's no need for you to get involved. There's no need for the Xue family either."
The man in swallowtail coat closed his eyes and gradually calmed himself down.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "Shen Lang, I'm just a nobody. It's useless for you to target me. If you're so capable, why don't you go and find Su Nan? It's useless for you to kill my family. Can you even touch a hair of Su Nan? "
"I can not torture you, I can."
"But don't think about leaving here alive. You're dead."
"The person who wants to kill you now is not me, but His Majesty."
"Because you've committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor!"
"Where are the people from the Supreme Court? The people from the Censorate? Come in and be interrogated together! "
The people from the Black Water Platform were super domineering. They had to wait for him to speak before the people from the Supreme Court and the Censorate came.
A moment later, the Junior Minister of the Supreme Court, Wang Jinglun, and the Right Minister of the Censorate, Zhang Chong, walked in.
This was the joint trial of the three departments.
The standard was very high!
Only cases with great power would have a joint trial of the three departments.
The Monarch had decreed that the Supreme Court would lead the trial, the Black Water Platform would assist the trial, and the Censorate would supervise.
… …
Shen Lang was escorted to the Yamen of the Supreme Court.
The officials of the three departments were seated in the hall.
The joint trial of the three departments had officially begun!
Hundreds of warriors stood on both sides of the hall, looking mighty and cold.
They were not holding water and fire rods in their hands, but sabers.
"Are you Shen Lang?"
Shen Lang said, "Greetings, Your Excellencies."
The Junior Minister of the Supreme Court said coldly, "Shen Lang, you are no longer an official. Why don't you kneel?"
Beside him, Zhang Chong said, "Your Excellency Wang, Shen Lang has been stripped of his position as the registrar of the Office of the Grand Herald, but His Majesty has not stripped him of the title of High Scholar."
The Junior Minister of the Supreme Court said, "He has committed such a big crime and committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor. He should be stripped of all his titles."
Zhang Chong said, "Shen Lang is only a suspect now. The Monarch has not issued an edict. His title of High Scholar is still there, so there is no need for him to kneel."
As soon as he said this, the Junior Minister of the Supreme Court glared at Zhang Chong.
Zhang Chong, you just got out of jail and now you're jumping up?
Everyone knew that Shen Lang had committed a big crime and was bound to die.
You still dare to get involved? Do you want to die?
Zhang Chong and the Supreme Court were mortal enemies.
In this half a year, he had been tortured by cold violence in the Supreme Court Prison, and he had almost died in prison.
"Fine, I won't kneel if you don't want to." The Junior Minister of the Supreme Court said coldly, "Shen Lang, you should know what crimes you have committed. Deceiving the Emperor, slandering and cursing the Crown Prince. No matter which one it is, you must die. Confess, don't bring trouble to your family."
At this time.
Several Black Water Platform warriors rushed in and said, "Your Excellencies, three warriors from the Kim clan's side courtyard left the capital at lightning speed and headed in the direction of Tiannan Province. We have captured them. We suspect that they are returning to the Marquis's residence in Xuanwu to deliver a message."
A moment later, the three warriors of the Kim family were brought in.
Each of them was riddled with wounds and dripping with blood. It was obvious that they had been captured after a fierce battle.
The leader was Jin An. He had gone to the Marquis's residence in Xuanwu to deliver a message.
Jin Mucong asked him to tell the Marquis of Xuanwu everything in the capital, and said that if anyone dared to kill Shen Lang, let his father rebel.
This was really a child's words.
Before Shen Lang was arrested, someone had already gone to the Kim family to deliver a message.
Shen Lang couldn't help but sigh.
He had already told Jin Mucong not to do anything and to stay in the study and write.
But the fat otaku still couldn't hold back.
He was still a child, but … he was also a good child.
"What's your name?" The Junior Minister of the Supreme Court said coldly.
"Jin An."
"What identity?"
"Kim family warriors."
The Junior Minister of the Supreme Court said coldly, "What do you want to do in such a hurry to return to Xuanwu City? Did someone send you back to deliver a message? Is it to instigate the Marquis of Xuanwu to rebel? "
Jin An said, "No, we were just changing guards as usual. We also brought the Crown Prince's letter to the Marquis. If you don't believe me, you can check it."
Then, a warrior took out the letter from his bosom.
It was indeed a letter from Jin Mucong to Jin Zhuo, begging his father to let him go home.
"How dare you, slave. You didn't go back earlier or later, but when Shen Lang was arrested, you said there was a conspiracy?" The Junior Minister of the Supreme Court said coldly, "What did someone order you to do? What did someone order you to say to the Marquis of Xuanwu? "
It seemed that the other party not only wanted to kill Shen Lang, but also wanted to drag Jin Mucong and the Kim family down with him.
The Monarch was the most suspicious. They wanted to convict the Kim family of rebellion.
Jin An said, "I went back to change guards and to deliver the letter to the Crown Prince. I don't know anything else."
The Junior Minister of the Supreme Court's gaze turned cold. He said slowly, "It seems that you, a wicked slave, will not speak unless you are tortured."
"Men, bring the Great Torture Chamber!"
Several bailiffs from the Supreme Court came forward and pressed Jin An and the other two warriors down, about to torture them.
Jin An and the other three warriors laughed coldly and kept their mouths shut.
Do you think the warriors of the Kim family are afraid of torture? You want us to confess? Dream on!
Shen Lang said, "Lord Wang, there is no need to trouble yourself. I have already said that I will only speak after the Emperor's men come and interrogate me. Otherwise, I will not say a word. "
The Junior Minister of the Supreme Court felt humiliated.
"Shen Lang, are you saying that I am not qualified to interrogate you? Do you think that I do not dare to torture you? "
At this time, Zhang Chong said from the side, "Shen Lang is a Juren. Before he is stripped of his title, he cannot be tortured."
The Junior Minister of the Supreme Court sneered and said, "Fine, fine! Then I will immediately submit a memorial to the Emperor and ask him to strip Shen Lang of all his titles. "
Zhang Chong said, "I will also submit a memorial and tell the Emperor what Shen Lang said."
The Junior Minister of the Supreme Court said, "Then submit a memorial together."
The man in swallowtail gritted his teeth and said, "I will also submit a memorial together. I have just arrested Shen Lang, and then my family is dead. I want to see, under the Monarch, there is someone who dares to openly kill people? Kill the people of the Black Water Platform and the Emperor's men? "
Then, the three of them wrote a memorial together.
At the same time, they rode north to report to the Monarch.
After the three memorials were sent.
The Junior Minister of the Supreme Court said, "Lord Zhang Chong, the Monarch did not strip Shen Lang of his titles, so we cannot torture him. Then his family servants can at least be punished, right? Great … great punishment awaits! "
He dragged the words out of his mouth.
This was a hint that the servants of the Supreme Court could be killed.
This was to kill two of the three warriors of the Kim family in front of Shen Lang.
Beating the mountain to warn the tiger, killing the chicken to warn the monkey.
Shen Lang, don't worry. After the Monarch strips you of your titles, it will be your turn to be tortured.
The man in swallowtail's eyes were cold.
Shen Lang, if I don't torture you, do you think the Junior Minister of the Supreme Court will let you go?
This Wang Jinglun is an important member of the Su Family.
Su Nan wants to kill you, how can he not be active?
You can kill my family, but can you kill Wang Jinglun's family?
His family is not in the capital, and his family in the capital has long been protected by the Marquis of Zhenyuan.
Do you think that a small family like mine can be easily killed by you?
Just you wait!
Wait for the Emperor to be angry.
You dare to kill the family of the Black Water Platform's Qianhu, you dare to kill the family of the Monarch's lackeys.
You are courting death! You are courting death!
Now, you can only watch as your three servants are beaten to death!
"Wait a minute, I have something to ask," Zhang Chong suddenly said.
At this moment, a loud noise came from outside.
"Prison break, prison break!"
The fierce sound of hooves was getting closer and closer.
A yamen runner quickly rushed in.
"Your Excellency, someone wants to break the prison."
Wang Jinglun, the Junior Minister of the Supreme Court, Zhang Chong, and the man in swallowtail were all stunned.
The three of them looked at Shen Lang at the same time.
Are, are you crazy?
How dare you send people to break the prison?
How dare you besiege the Supreme Court?
This is rebellion!
When the Count of Dongjiang City led troops to attack the Dongjiang City Governor's Mansion, they were regarded as rebellion and almost exterminated.
How dare you, Shen Lang, send people to attack the Supreme Court?
What's the level of the Dongjiang City Governor's Mansion?
Just from the sixth level.
What's the Supreme Court's level?
The third level!
It's a complete rebellion.
Even if you're not guilty of deceiving the emperor, Shen Lang is finished, and so is the Kim family.
The Junior Minister of the Supreme Court was not angry but happy.
Anger made him dizzy.
It was said that Shen Lang's wisdom was close to that of a demon. It was ridiculous.
This did not involve his own safety, but once it was related to his own life, he actually made a lot of stupid moves.
Now he besieged the Supreme Court.
The crime of rebellion was set in stone.
"Go to the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion in the capital and the Privy Council to mobilize troops to destroy the rebels!" The Junior Minister of the Supreme Court ordered.
The man in swallowtail couldn't help but order, "Go to the Black Water Platform and say that someone is rebelling and besieging the Supreme Court, intending to kidnap Shen Lang, and ask the Ancestor to send troops to suppress the rebellion."
"Yes!"
Suddenly, several teams of messengers rushed out of the Supreme Court.
They went to the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, the Privy Council, and the Black Water Platform.
Soon, tens of thousands of troops would be mobilized to suppress the so-called rebellion.
However, the next voice made the Junior Minister of the Supreme Court a little stunned.
"I'm Third Princess Ning Yan. I'm here to redress the injustice of the Supreme Court."
"Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed."
The Junior Minister of the Supreme Court and the man in swallowtail were shocked.
It turned out to be this scourge?
She was the Third Princess of the Monarch. Did they want to treat her as a rebel? What a joke.
It was not the warriors of the Kim family who came to break the prison?
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Outside, the fierce female warriors under Ning Yan's command had already begun to carry the wood to smash the door.
Zhang Chong's scalp was a little numb, and he couldn't help but look at Shen Lang.
Shen, you really stir up trouble wherever you go.
Ning Yan, the scourge, was also slept with by you?
After you were captured, she actually came to break the prison?
This would only cause more trouble and anger the Monarch even more.
The point was that Shen Lang didn't know either.
Ning Yan, this tigress, actually came to attack the Supreme Court?
The Junior Minister of the Supreme Court shouted, "Go stop them, stop them. But … don't hurt the Third Princess. "
Immediately, the bailiffs and warriors of the Supreme Court rushed up like a tide to stop Ning Yan.
… …
The Monarch's guard of honor was already very close to the capital, less than a hundred miles away.
"Go, go, go …"
On the official road to the north, teams of knights rushed out of the capital's north gate as fast as lightning.
Each team of knights carried a memorial on their back.
There was one from the Censorate's Right Minister Zhang Chong, one from the Black Water Bureau, one from the Supreme Court, one from the Governor's Office of Tianyue, and one from the Privy Council.
The level of these secret memorials was higher than the previous one.
The secret memorials inside were more shocking than the previous one.
However, these secret memorials were missing two people.
The Crown Prince and Su Nan.
The Crown Prince had a secret memorial, which was just a memorial to ask for forgiveness. He said that such a big mess happened during the period of supervising the country and asked his father to punish him.
And Su Nan directly reported sick and stayed at home. He didn't even go to the Privy Council, indicating that all of this had nothing to do with him.
…
All the officers and soldiers of the Monarch's guard of honor finally didn't need to rest at all.
Because secret memorials came one after another from the capital.
Those who didn't know would think that someone was attacking the capital.
The Monarch also hadn't slept for two days and three nights.
At this time, he was like a violent and angry lion.
In front of him, there were more than ten secret memorials densely packed.
The Black Water Bureau, the Supreme Court, the Censorate, the Censorate, the Privy Council, the Crown Prince's Office, and so on.
These memorials were first sorted by the great eunuch Li Sun, and then handed to the Monarch one by one.
Li Sun's movements were very natural, and he put the secret memorial of Zhang Chong at the bottom.
The Monarch read one by one.
He was getting angrier and more and more shocking.
Shen Lang's guts were as big as the sky, as big as the sky.
He dared to kill the whole family of the Swallowtail Coat Master of the Black Water Bureau, and even pretended to be Bitter Joy. Ridiculous!
He even extorted 100 million gold coins. Are all the people in the world idiots?
What is the Black Water Bureau?
It's my dog.
The capital is the holy land under my feet. How can you kill people just because you say so?
Then, the Junior Minister of the Supreme Court's memorial.
It said that after Shen Lang was arrested, the warriors of the Kim clan secretly rushed back to the city of Xuanwu.
What are you trying to do? Do you want Xuanwu's Hou Jinzhuo to rebel?
Do you want to threaten me?
The next memorial made him even more furious.
The Dream Cloud Lake's Third Princess Ning Yan attacked the Supreme Court?
Is he crazy?
Is Shen Lang crazy?
How dare he instigate my daughter? How dare he instigate the Empire's Ambassador?
Is he trying to drag the royal family and the Empire of Yan into this?
He has ulterior motives, ulterior motives!
"Rebel, rebel …"
"You're courting death, courting death, courting death …"
Shen Lang, do you really think I don't dare to kill you?
How dare you be so arrogant just because you're from the Kim family?
Jin Zhuo?
It was your son-in-law who deceived the Emperor and cursed the Crown Prince first. He committed treason first.
I killed him. Could it be that you're plotting a rebellion?
Seeing the Monarch's soaring killing intent.
The eunuch Li Sun said, "Your Majesty, there is one last secret memorial. It's from Zhang Chong."
"I don't want to read it anymore …" The Monarch said angrily, "What does Zhang Chong want to say? I don't want to read it anymore … "
He didn't want to look at it, so he took it and looked at it carefully.
Then, he felt a chill all over his body.
Zhang Chong's memorial had almost nothing to do with Shen Lang.
His secret memorial was very long.
It recorded in detail the annual trade of the Su family.
The Kim family subsidized the Qiang Kingdom more than 40,000 gold coins every year.
Although his fief was more than 3,000 square kilometers, it was very high and did not produce much.
The only advantage was that it was rich in minerals.
Then where did the Su family have so much money to support their private army and the Three-Eyed Heretics?
Where did they have so much money to support the bureaucrats of Tianxi Province?
Slave trade!
This was already shocking enough.
But what was even more shocking was the monopoly of smuggling.
Of course, the monopoly of smuggling itself was not shocking.
What was shocking was that the Su family completely monopolized smuggling with the Chu Kingdom.
After the war between Wu and Yue, the Wu Kingdom was dispirited.
The Chu Kingdom in the west became a big problem for the State of Yue.
More than half of the army of the State of Yue was confronting the Chu Kingdom in the west.
Although the war had not started, there were countless conflicts at the border.
The border of the two countries had been sealed, completely cutting off trade.
Ning Yuanxian always thought that there would be a war between the Chu and the Yue Kingdom.
However, the State of Yue had The Southern Kingdom in rebellion, and the Chu Kingdom had territorial disputes with the Liang and Wei Kingdoms in the north.
Both sides could not spare a hand.
But there could only be one overlord in the whole south.
After the defeat of the Wu Kingdom, the overlord was born between the Chu Kingdom and the State of Yue.
And now, in Zhang Chong's memorial, every piece of data was written in great detail.
Although he did not directly say that Su Nan was colluding with the Chu Kingdom, the meaning behind it was very clear.
Su Nan first monopolized the Qiang Kingdom's diplomacy, and then carried out a lot of smuggling trade with the Qiang Kingdom and Chu Kingdom, earning a lot of gold coins every year.
And there were even more dangerous signs.
Was the Su family and the Chu Kingdom just smuggling trade? Wasn't there a deeper deal?
Monarch Ning Yuanxian was like this.
He was usually mean and irritable, and he had to vent his anger.
But when it came to the safety of the country, he would immediately calm down.
He was like a volcano that suddenly stopped erupting.
His emotions immediately froze.
So, Zhang Chong was still the best!
He would not support Shen Lang from the front.
What could he do to extinguish the Monarch's anger? That would cause an even greater anger.
If he wanted to quell a big matter, he would have to expose another bigger matter.
At the crucial moment, he would deal a fatal blow.
"Does Su Nan have a memorial?"
"No, he's home sick."
"Have you heard of the great thief, the Three Eyed Evil?"
"This old servant has heard of it."
"Has anyone in the Western Heaven Province ever submitted a memorial to the Three Eyed Evil?"
"No."
Ning Yuanxian continued to read the memorial.
At the end, Zhang Chong mentioned casually.
Shen Lang was unwilling to confess. He said that he would only confess everything if the Monarch's confidant was present.
"Li Sun, make a trip there and personally interrogate Shen Lang. The crime of deceiving the emperor, the case of cursing the crown prince, and the case of killing He Mingxi must be thoroughly investigated."
The eunuch Li Sun kowtowed and said, "Yes."
Then, he was about to leave.
However, the Monarch glanced at Li Sun and said, "Ning Qi, you go too. But don't say anything. Just watch."
Ning Qi, the Third Prince, was a superpower who could rival the Crown Prince.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the Third Prince said.
The Monarch was a suspicious person. He was not at ease sending Li Sun alone, so he sent the Third Prince to supervise him.
"If Shen Lang doesn't confess, strip him of his scholarly title. He is delicate and fragile. He won't be able to bear the punishment. He will say anything."
"If Shen Lang really deceives the Emperor and curses the Crown Prince, then don't blame me for being merciless!"
… …
In the Supreme Court's secret torture chamber.
The Great Eunuch Li Sun personally interrogated Shen Lang on behalf of the Monarch.
The Third Prince sat quietly in a dark corner, not uttering a word.
"Shen Lang, the Monarch has a question for you. On the night of the Empress Dowager's birthday, did you get someone to sell the 'When Will the Bright Moon Appear' song to her?"
This was the crux of the case.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Shen Lang replied.
The moment he said this, the Great Eunuch Li Sun's face trembled.
Kid, you're courting death.
Even if I wanted to save you, I wouldn't be able to.
The Great Eunuch Li Sun asked again, "Were you the one who sold the clothes to Noble Lady He that night?"
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "No. This student only knows how to write poems. I don't know how to make clothes."
The Great Eunuch Li Sun asked again, "Someone bribed a court painter to paint Ho Tsai in a particularly eye-catching manner, attracting His Majesty's attention. Did you bribe the painter?"
"No," Shen Lang said.
Li Sun said, "But that court painter confessed. He said that the person who bribed him was from the Kim family."
Shen Lang was taken aback and expressed his shock.
The Great Eunuch Li Sun said, "In Li Wenzheng's house, there was a silk handkerchief embroidered with blood stains and Ho Tsai's signature. Did you frame her?"
Shen Lang: "No."
Li Sun continued, "Did you send someone to bury the vile person cursing the Crown Prince in the hole under Li Wenzheng's bed? Did you frame her in order to kill Li Wenzheng? Did you try to incite a factional war in the court so that the Monarch would quickly kill Li Wenzheng for the sake of peace in the court? "
Shen Lang: "No."
Li Sun continued, "A few days ago, Ho Tsai went to the official resting place in Lang County to look for you. What did she want?"
Shen Lang replied, "She asked me if I was the one who wrote 'When the Moon Appears'."
Li Sun asked, "What was your answer then?"
Shen Lang: "I said no, because I don't want to get into trouble. But I did write this poem, and I sold it to Ho Tsai."
The eunuch Li Sun closed his eyes.
The current situation was extremely disadvantageous to Shenlang.
As long as he confessed that he was the one who wrote When the Moon Appears, and that he sold it to Ho Tsai,
Then he would never be able to clear his name.
Brat, this old man has tried his best, but I can't save you even if I wanted to.
Li Sun said, "Shenlang, I'm done with my questions. Next, you will be stripped of all your scholarly honors, you will be interrogated by the three departments, and then you will be punished. Is there anything else you haven't told me? It's not too late to tell me now. When the torture starts, your small body won't be able to take it. "
Shen Lang said, "Father-in-law, I've told you everything I know. I really have nothing to do with He Guiren's death."
Li Sun said agitatedly, "Then who is it? You won't be able to clear your name. "
He was exasperated at Li Sun's failure to live up to his expectations.
At this moment, the Third Prince coughed lightly.
He reminded Li Sun that he was only asking questions on His Majesty's behalf, and that he shouldn't use his personal feelings.
The eunuch sighed, "Very well, Shen. Take care. I'm done with my questions. The three departments shall interrogate him."
A moment later, the junior minister of the Supreme Court said, "Your Highness, Eunuch Li, His Majesty has stripped Shen Lang of his scholarly honors, right? He can be interrogated now, right?"
Li Sun was about to nod helplessly.
At this moment, Zhang Chong said indifferently, "Father-in-law, Ho Tsai's body has just been transported here. I've discovered something new. She didn't commit suicide, but was murdered!"
Zhang Chong glanced at Shen Lang.
The signal was clear.
The fatal counterattack had begun!
