"Ancestor Shangguan, you can think about it carefully. What benefits can I, Cui Tianzhi, gain from killing members of your Shangguan family and killing the heroes of the Holy Emperor?"
Cui Tianzhi spoke in a hurried tone. After saying this, he clapped his hands and said: "There is no benefit at all. I will get nothing except destroying my future by doing this."
He just thought about it carefully, he couldn't just plead guilty, but also let the Shangguan family think clearly about the logic behind it.
Only in this way could Shangguan Jinming realize that he, Cui Tianzhi, had no motive for doing this at all.
There is a big problem here.
After Shangguan Jinming listened to Cui Tianzhi's words, he thought seriously.
When he heard the news, his first thought was how to save the Shangguan family.
Because he felt that the Holy One wanted to deal with their Shangguan family.
However, when he later learned that the Holy Emperor had no such intention, he thought about how to seek justice and gain some benefits along the way.
I never thought about Cui Tianzhi’s motives from beginning to end.
Now that Cui Tianzhi said this, he realized that something was indeed wrong.
As Cui Tianzhi said, why would he, a dignified official, have a deadly feud with the Shangguan family? Is there any benefit?
If there is no benefit, then why do it?
Therefore, maybe it is just like what Cui Tianzhi said, that he was possessed by evil spirits and went insane.
On the other side, Cui Tianzhi saw Shangguan Jinming deep in thought, and immediately saw hope.
Then he opened his mouth and added: "Ancestor Shangguan, I have already clarified the matter. In the beginning, four slaves of your Shangguan family beat their master. After killing two people one after another, our officers and soldiers went over to check the situation."
"Unexpectedly, when our officers and soldiers arrived at that place, they were suddenly possessed by evil spirits and could not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy."
"Xiahou Jun was like this in the past, and I was like this in the past."
"So there's something wrong with that place, and we're suffering from it too."
When it comes to this, Cui Tianzhi is really a mute who eats Coptis chinensis and cannot express his sufferings.
If he had the chance to do it again, he would never go to that place.
But what Cui Tianzhi didn't know was that it wasn't whether he wanted to go or not, but Lin Yu used his divine power to force him to go.
When Shangguan Jinming listened to Cui Tianzhi's words, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense.
Yes, this thing is weird from beginning to end.
It really doesn't seem like Cui Tianzhi did it intentionally.
But what does this matter?
The question now is not whether Cui Tianzhi did it on purpose, but that someone in the Shangguan family died, and someone must pay the price.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a joke to other big families?
By then, let alone the major families, even the common people on the streets will no longer fear the Shangguan family as they did before.
Also, this matter has caused such a big fuss, and the government is not taking the matter seriously. It would be really stupid not to take the opportunity to seek some benefits from the emperor.
Therefore, although Shangguan Jinming knew what Cui Tianzhi said was reasonable, he didn't bother to pay attention to Cui Tianzhi at all.
You still have to sue if you want to get a royal warrant.
"Ancestor Shangguan, have you thought clearly?"
Cui Tianzhi asked anxiously.
At this time, I couldn't care less about my image. The most important thing was to let Shangguan Jinming express his attitude quickly.
As long as Shangguan Jinming is willing not to pursue this matter, or is willing to deal with it in a low-key manner, then everything will be easy to talk about.
But if he is unwilling, then his position as official will definitely be ruined.
And not only will you have to lose your hat, but you will definitely be punished.
"Cui Fuyin, this matter still has to be decided by the Holy Spirit."
Shangguan Jinming said in an indifferent tone.
As the ancestor of the Shangguan family, he represents the interests of the Shangguan family. How could he give in because of Cui Tianzhi's words?
"Ancestor Shangguan, Ancestor Shangguan, if you have any requests, feel free to ask, everything is easy to discuss, everything is easy to discuss!"
Cui Tianzhi was really anxious.
At this time, he is willing to hand over all his wealth.
After all, as long as the Shangguan family doesn't pursue the case and this official can continue to work, everything will be fine.
Shangguan Jinming shook his head slightly and said: "Cui Fuyin doesn't need to say more, everything is decided by the Holy One."
With that said, he took Shangguan Boshan with him, bypassing Cui Tianzhi and walked into the palace.
Cui Tianzhi had no choice but to follow the two of them closely.
At this time, running away is the stupidest choice. If you take the initiative to follow the two victims to meet the Holy Master, behave better, maybe you will have a chance to be given a lighter sentence.
And if he shrinks back and doesn't come out and lets the Holy One order someone to capture him, then there really is no room left.
Cui Tianzhi followed Shangguan Jinming and Shangguan Boshan, his brain working rapidly, thinking of ways to reduce his charges.
In this way, the three of them arrived at the emperor's study room one after the other.
After entering the imperial study, Shangguan Jinming immediately pulled Shangguan Boshan to salute the emperor.
Cui Tianzhi was also busy kneeling down in front of the emperor.
"Three beloved ladies live in peace."
Emperor Jin Hao Mingdan said calmly.
The three of them got up one after another.
Jin Haoming asked: "Why did the three beloved ladies come here this time?"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Shangguan Jinming was about to speak, but Cui Tianzhi said first: "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
With that said, he knelt down again.
Jin Haoming glanced at him, and then said with great certainty: "You are my humerus minister, what crime do you have?"
"Your Majesty, I am really guilty. I beat Shangguan Boming, a hero of the Shangguan family, to death in the street. His crime deserves death."
Cui Tianzhi said sincerely.
Shangguan Jinming looked annoyed for a while.
This Cui Tianzhi is retreating in order to advance, and wants to reduce the penalty by voluntarily confessing. He is really shameless.
But it's okay. This time Cui Tianzhi went too far. Even if he took the initiative to plead guilty, the emperor would not be biased towards him.
Therefore, Shangguan Jinming is not worried about Cui Tianzhi's performance.
But just when Shangguan Jin Ming was confident of winning, he heard Emperor Jin Hao say indifferently: "You are an official of the imperial court, and you have the power of life and death. Killing someone is nothing."
As soon as these words fell, not only Shangguan Jinming and Shangguan Boshan, but also Cui Tianzhi were stunned.
