The guard came to the school grounds and had a word with Qin Lingjun.

Qin Lingjun nodded, took out a round cherry radish from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Weigong.

"No! Put this on top of your head, then stand there and let me, your apprentice, practice your archery skills!"

Li Weigong was shocked and angry.

"Your Royal Highness, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"

Qin Lingjun sneered and said, "Are you qualified to call yourself a scholar?"

Li Weigong was stunned. He wanted to defend himself, but then he remembered the incident of framing Liu Bowen just now, but the words came to his lips but he couldn't say them out.

Qin Lingjun said coldly: "Not only did you trap your friends into injustice and plot against a prime minister of the dynasty, you also used the skills passed down by your ancestors as a tool for conspiracy! What a good gentleman!"

After Li Weigong listened, he knew that all the plans were exposed. There was a bang in his head, and he felt like a thunderbolt from the blue, and he froze in place!

Qin Lingjun scolded: "You are an unrighteous person, so you are worthy of being used as a target for my apprentice to practice archery. Get over here! Stand still!"

Li Weigong was filled with shame. He lowered his head and walked slowly over, placed the cherry carrot on top of his head, closed his eyes, and looked like he was about to kill him.

Tao Ai was also dumbfounded and said blankly: "Your Highness, do I really want to shoot that carrot?"

Qin Lingjun said calmly: "Shoot! Some people are exposed to their evil conspiracy and just want to die. Why don't you help them?"

Not far away, Li Weigong's body trembled again.

Tao Ai's mind suddenly thought, "Ah! I understand, His Highness wants me to scare him!"

So he pulled back the bowstring slightly, faced Li Weigong, and closed his eyes.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid of seeing blood. Can I shoot with my eyes closed?"

Qin Lingjun said calmly: "Whatever you want, hurry up and send him to meet the Li family's ancestors early, and by the way, tell Master Li Jie how he promoted the Li family's architectural craftsmanship!"

Li Weigong almost fell to his knees as if he was struck by lightning.

Qin Lingjun continued to make up for it: "In the future, when future generations think of the book "Building Methods", they don't know whether they will think of Master Li Jie first, or you, Li Weigong?"

Li Weigong finally couldn't hold on any longer and knelt on the ground with a thud. The cherry radish on his head also fell to the ground, and he burst into tears.

Qin Lingjun walked up to Li Weigong and said coldly: "Do you want to tell me the truth now, or are you just taking a chance and continue to resist?"

Li Weigong was not afraid that he would be questioned or killed. What he was afraid of was that the reputation of his ancestors for two hundred years would be ruined in his own hands.

Just when he was about to give in and speak, his mind was suddenly startled.

When he became a refugee, it was Xia Shize who rescued him, betrothed his daughter to him, and helped him search for lost family books.

At this point, how could he be so ungrateful and betray the other party!

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes again.

At the stone pavilion, Kuai Liang had a clear view of the school grounds.

He was already shocked when he saw that Li Weigong was really being targeted, and he was even more shocked when he saw Li Weigong kneeling on the ground crying.

He did not know that Li Weigong was verbally attacked by Qin Lingjun. In his opinion, Li Weigong knelt on the ground and begged for mercy with tears streaming down his face.

Li Weigong has always been the person he admires most. Because of this, he is willing to take risks and do such a big thing for Li Weigong.

Who would have thought that Li Weigong could be so miserable? A woman pointed a bow and arrow at him and asked him to kneel down and beg for mercy. It really disappointed him.

At this moment, his admiration for Li Weigong turned into contempt, and he pouted on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the common people are willing to explain everything. All these things were done by Li Weigong instructing the common people!"

Zhang Yangquan said calmly: "Well, tell me what you know quickly!"

Kuai Liang immediately told everything Li Weigong asked him to do.

Li Weigong first asked him to report Liu Yu and canceled Liu Yu's qualification to present pictures.

Later, Li Weigong asked him to go to Jingmiaozhai to tell Zhang Miaojing about the incident, and also asked him to lie to Liu Bowen.

Because this matter involved Liu Bowen, Kuai Liang was unwilling to do it at first.

Li Weigong had no choice but to tell him the truth, saying that Liu Bowen was investigating the Xia family. If the Xia family was finished, Li Weigong would be finished too.

Kuai Liang was willing to take risks for the sake of his friends.

After Kuai Liang finished speaking, Zhang Yangquan asked him to write down all the contents, draw a picture and send it to Qin Lingjun.

Li Weigong knelt on the ground. No matter what Qin Lingjun said, he would not say a word, as if he wanted to die.

After Qin Lingjun received Kuai Liang's confession, he glanced at Li Weigong on the ground.

"Li Weigong, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not. Kuai Liang has confessed everything. This confession is enough to prove Xia Shize's crime!"

Li Weigong opened his eyes suddenly and said in shock: "Brother Kuai...how could he..."

Qin Lingjun said calmly: "He has already confessed. This is the confession. Take a look for yourself!"

Li Weigong took a look at the confession and found that it was indeed Kuai Liang's handwriting, and the content was accurate. He couldn't help feeling sad about it.

Qin Lingjun said coldly: "Just to protect your father-in-law who cares about human life, Kuai Liang was harmed by you. Just look over there!"

Pointing in the direction of Shiting.

Li Weigong turned around and immediately saw Kuai Liang next to Shiting.

Kuai Liang stared at him, spat, picked up a tree trunk from the ground, and broke it into two pieces with a "click".

This is the meaning of severing ties. After doing all this, Kuai Liang will never look at him again.

Li Weigong was greatly shocked and lowered his head without saying a word.

Qin Lingjun said again: "Li Weigong, the evidence is conclusive. Your father-in-law has been unable to escape the law! He deserves this. Do you have to bury the Li family's two-hundred-year reputation with him?"

Li Weigong was confused and said in a trembling voice: "I...I..."

Qin Lingjun said again: "As long as you speak, I can promise you not to let this matter involve the reputation of your ancestors?"

Li Weigong finally collapsed and said sadly: "Your Highness, I am aware of my sin! I was obsessed with it for a moment and made a big mistake. I am willing to do whatever your Highness does to me. Please don't implicate my ancestors of the Li family!"

Qin Lingjun said calmly: "Li Weigong, I have checked your deeds and know that you have helped many people. Even Liu Yu has received your favor. You were worthy of the name of Li Jie's descendant!"

Li Weigong was even more ashamed and choked up: "A small mistake can lead to a big mistake. I regret it too much!"

Qin Lingjun nodded and softened his tone.

"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, they are not hopeless! Let me ask you, why did you frame Liu Yushi?"

Li Weigong whispered: "My father-in-law ordered me to do it all!"

Qin Lingjun ordered someone to get a piece of paper and said: "You must explain this matter clearly! I still say the same thing, as long as you explain the situation honestly, you will never let this matter affect your Li family.

Reputation!"

Li Weigong bowed to Qin Lingjun and silently knelt on the ground and wrote down his accusations.

When Zhang Yangquan and his wife interrogated Li and Kuai, Lu Liangzuo was taken to a side hall for custody.

It was already dark outside, and candles were lit in the room. Zhang Yangquan didn't come to see him for a long time, which made Lu Liangzuo's heart sink to the bottom.

He already vaguely understood that the king deliberately placed him under house arrest to facilitate Liu Bowen's investigation of the matter.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and footsteps sounded outside the house.

Lu Liangzuo suddenly raised his head and saw Liu Bowen slowly walking into the side hall.

The two looked at each other quietly for a moment. Lu Liangzuo couldn't hold his breath and stood up and asked: "Liu Pingzhang, did the king ask you to summon me to see me?"

Liu Bowen said calmly: "Prime Minister Lu, Li Weigong and Kuai Liang have all spoken. Your Majesty has asked me to interrogate you and Xia Shize."

Lu Liangzuo trembled all over, and after a long time, he slowly sat back on the chair.

"Liu Gong, whether you believe it or not, we just want you to leave the Yushitai, and we have no intention of harming your life!"

Liu Bowen said calmly: "I know, but that's not because you don't want to, but because you don't dare to take risks. If you really had a bottom line of conscience, would there still be a Songjiang Mansion case?"

Lu Liangzuo was startled and fell into silence again.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and said: "I am the only one involved in this matter in the Lu family. I hope Mr. Liu will not implicate others!"

Liu Bowen said solemnly: "I will handle it impartially, so you don't have to worry."

Lu Liangzuo said no more, bowed to Liu Bowen and left with him.

After arriving at the Yushitai, Xia Shize was arrested first.

He was even more uncooperative than Lu Liangzuo. No matter how Liu Bowen interrogated him, he remained silent.

Liu Bowen was too lazy to ask any more questions. He stood up, chuckled, and said, "You know you have to stop, Xia Shize, do you know you have stopped?"

Xia Shize was stunned for a moment, then his lips finally moved.

Liu Bowen was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. He left the interrogation room and went to the room where Lu Liangzuo was detained for interrogation.

Lu Liangzuo was much more cooperative and explained all the circumstances of the blueprint case. Liu Bowen recorded everything in the record and ordered them to be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment.

Early the next morning, there was an official document on the south wall of Zhongshu Province. Lu Liangzuo was removed from the post of right prime minister because he abused his power for personal gain and framed others. Chen Ji, minister of Honglu Temple, took over as right prime minister.

Zhang Yangquan originally wanted Liu Bowen to serve as prime minister, but Liu Bowen tried his best to shirk the offer and only wanted to stay in Yushitai, so he appointed Chen Ji.

Li Weigong suddenly came to his senses and identified Xia Shize again. At Qin Lingjun's suggestion, Zhang Yangquan asked him to make meritorious service and continue to participate in the construction of the palace.
