The Emperor of Jin was so angry that his heart ached.
He glared hatefully at him and angrily said, "So what if you didn't know? Even if you didn't know, it was still done by your subordinates. Although there isn't enough evidence, you can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment. Beloved Official Su, in your opinion, how should The Emperor of Jin be dealt with? "
As soon as he heard the Emperor of Hongyuan's words, Su Ming understood. The Emperor of Hongyuan didn't want to kill The Emperor of Jin.
After all, The Emperor of Jin was his son. Keeping him alive could also keep Chu Xuanchen in check.
He glanced at Chu Xuanchen shrewdly and said, "Your Majesty, there is insufficient evidence, so you can't convict Lord Jin. You can't say that he is guilty just because his subordinates have committed a crime. Think about it, if a subordinate was implicated because of a crime, wouldn't everyone be in danger? If this old official arrested Commandant Mo and said he committed the crime of rebellion, then wanted to punish The Emperor of Li, I'm afraid that The Emperor of Li wouldn't be able to defend himself. Therefore, just based on The Emperor of Li's crime, we can't conclude that The Emperor of Jin is guilty. Unless the Emperor of Li has evidence of The Emperor of Jin's rebellion. If there isn't, then The Emperor of Jin is innocent. "
Chu Xuanchen faintly curved his lips. "The crime of stealing the defensive map can be investigated, but The Emperor of Jin should be punished for falsely accusing Wang, right?"
"That's right, Your Majesty. The Emperor of Li racked his brains and worked hard to catch this spy. Even if he didn't have any merit, he still worked hard. How could The Emperor of Jin casually slander him? Your Majesty, in this official's opinion, The Emperor of Jin should be punished for falsely accusing him. This way, the loyal officials won't be disappointed, "Magistrate Zhang hurriedly said.
Seeing that Magistrate Zhang always spoke for Chu Xuanchen, the Hongyuan Emperor, The Emperor of Jin, and Su Ming all stared at him coldly.
Hongyuan Emperor had long been suspicious of him. He glanced at Magistrate Zhang with a sinister look.
It seemed that this person had switched sides with Chu Xuanchen. He had to think of a way to get rid of him.
"My beloved subjects, you are right. Due to the lack of evidence of The Emperor of Jin instructing The Emperor of Li to steal the military deployment map, I will not pursue his crime for the time being. However, he should be punished for falsely accusing the Emperor of Li. Men, drag The Emperor of Jin away and flog him 30 times as punishment! "Hongyuan Emperor ordered coldly.
"Your Majesty is wise." Chu Xuanchen cupped his hands coldly.
"Imperial Father, why did you hit me again? Imperial Father, please spare me. This son was really framed by Chu Xuanchen … "The Emperor of Jin hadn't finished speaking when he was dragged away by the imperial bodyguards.
At this time, Magistrate Zhang cupped his hands and asked, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with Li Ao?"
"Li Ao, who ordered you to steal the military deployment map? Why don't you confess?" Hongyuan Emperor glared at Li Ao coldly. There were witnesses and material evidence. He didn't believe that Li Ao was innocent.
As Chu Xuanchen said, no one forced him to sneak into the military camp with a knife. It seemed that he must have been bribed by the enemy.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This humble one was wrongly accused. This humble one didn't steal the military deployment map. This humble one only went to investigate the evidence of Chu Xuanchen colluding with the enemy country. This humble one was careless and was caught by them. Your Majesty, you must believe this humble one." Li Ao hurriedly pleaded for his innocence.
Everything he said was true, but no one present believed him.
"Your Majesty, even now, he is still trying to sow discord between you and this subject. You must not fall into the enemy's trap. This subject can't guess who ordered him for the time being. However, this subject asks Your Majesty to allow this subject to interrogate him. This subject believes that there will be a result. "Chu Xuanchen said.
"There's no need. I will send Lord Geng to interrogate him. The Emperor of Li is busy with military affairs. It's best that you don't interfere in this matter." Hongyuan Emperor waved his hand maliciously.
Chu Xuanchen nodded lightly.
