When Li Chen said this, all the officials from the Ministry of Justice present turned pale with fright.
Ge Pingyi also begged for mercy, but was picked up by two Jinyi guards and thrown into the cell.
The dirty cell was full of smelly water and filth. Ge Pingyi, who was used to being pampered, screamed in agony. He stood up and wanted to escape, but before he could straighten his waist, his head hit the top of the cell.
There was a muffled bang, and Ge Pingyi's official hat fell off. His hair was disheveled and bleeding profusely. He looked embarrassed and pitiful.
Ignoring the pain, he crawled to the door of the cell, grabbed the iron pillar and cried to Li Chen: "Your Highness, Wei Chen is wronged. Wei Chen was just following orders. Such harsh blame falls entirely on Wei Chen.
I am so dissatisfied!"
With Ge Pingyi taking the lead, other officials from the Ministry of Punishment, fearing that they would be next, knelt down and shouted: "Please have mercy on Your Highness."
At this time, Xu Changqing, who was too excited and had really suffered a lot of torture, had already been taken out by the Jin Yiwei. He was as angry as a thread, but still said firmly: "Your Highness, I have been framed by the people from the Punishment Department, not only from the Household Department.
He directly took Wei Chen away and even tortured him in public. He didn't even give Wei Chen a chance to speak, so he pressed Wei Chen's hand and marked the confession."
"The Ministry of Punishment treats the laws of the Empire and the Ministry of Punishment's case-handling regulations as nothing, whether in terms of procedures or motives. It is so rampant and persecutes loyal people, please Your Highness to uphold justice for the humble minister!"
Xu Changqing's accusation at this moment was that he handed Li Chen a knife.
Although even without his sword, Li Chen still had to cut off the unhealthy tendencies of the Criminal Department, but with this sword, Li Chen no longer had any scruples in his attack.
"Ge Pingyi, what else do you have to say?"
Li Chen turned around and stared at the colorless Ge Pingyi in the cell, and said coldly.
Ge Pingyi's face was pale, and the bright red blood slipped from the wound on his head, but he didn't notice it at all. His lips were trembling. Ge Pingyi faced Li Chen's cold and majestic gaze, feeling a sense of despair that the end was coming.
He knew that in the struggle between the East Palace and the cabinet, he was just an extremely small ant, not even a chess piece.
I listened to the words of Qian Shiyan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, who was a member of the cabinet party, and went to do something. Now that the anger of the East Palace is vented on me, can I still escape?
After understanding this, Ge Pingyi suddenly took the plunge.
It’s going to end in death anyway, so why keep it submissive?
"Your Highness, if you have the guts to go to the cabinet, what's the use of getting angry at us? You know very well that we are just chess pieces, not even chess pieces. You don't dare to do anything to the cabinet.
But he came to bully us, is this the majesty of my Highness the Crown Prince of Qin!?"
Ge Pingyi said one word, and the surroundings were completely silent.
Even the constant screams, moans and begging for mercy in other cells disappeared without a trace.
Everyone is shocked... Is this Ge Pingyi crazy?
This is not how you seek death.
Sanbao's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand and pinched Ge Pingyi's throat through the railing.
"Your Highness, this treacherous traitor is very disrespectful to Your Highness. Please order Your Highness, and I will crush this traitor's throat."
With his throat being strangled, Ge Pingyi felt it was extremely difficult to even breathe.
He opened his mouth wide and tried to breathe, but he couldn't get any air in.
