Chapter 268: Even death will not betray Concubine Yan【1】
The tyrant was coldly angry and said: "How did you become the prime minister? I ordered you to announce the appointment, but how did you turn Prince Zhuo's Mansion into a battlefield?"
Tang Benkui knelt down with a thud.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am loyal to your Majesty, do your best, and dare not slack off. But some people don't think so."
The tyrant said: "Get up and speak. There are no other outsiders here..."[
Tang Benkui said: "Yes!"
He stood up, and then whispered in the tyrant's ear what had just happened.
Finally, he added his own guess: "Your Majesty! I think the Zhuo family must be hiding some major conspiracy because they are so blatantly resisting the imperial decree!"
Zhuo Gonggui said: "Conspiracy? The conspiracy is that the Prime Minister has always wanted to suppress and frame the Zhuo family, right?"
Tang Benkui said coldly: "Your Zhuo family has committed numerous crimes! It is simply treason!"
Zhuo Gonggui said: "You don't want to spit on others!"
Tang Benkui said: "The first crime is that the fourth son of your Zhuo family murdered the prime minister's son in Qiongtian Tower, and someone witnessed it with his own eyes!"
"The second crime!"
"You, the fourth son of the Zhuo family, privately opened a publishing house to print treasonous books and tarnished the image of the emperor. You should be punished for your crime!"
"The third crime!"
"Privately hiding the sacred box of the imperial relics with evil intentions!"
Tang Benkui is aggressive.
Zhuo Gonggui said: "This is all nonsense!"
Tang Benkui smiled coldly: "If this is nonsense, just ask your good son and you will know! Someone! Bring Zhuo Lei up!"
Two soldiers escorted Zhuo Lei, who was bound by iron chains, and threw him away.
Tang Benkui sneered: "Ask yourself! Mr. Zhuo! Humph!"
As soon as Zhuo Lei saw everyone in the Zhuo family, he quickly said: "Dad! Grandpa! I definitely did not murder Tong Benbao! I don't know martial arts at all, and everyone knows it! How could I murder him?"
When Zhuo Gonggui saw the injuries on his face, he knew that he must have been severely beaten by Tang Benkui.
Tang Benkui sneered and said: "The evidence is so solid that you still dare to quibble? The emperor wants your Zhuo family to have contributed to the court! He is very merciful. I wanted to keep a low-key interrogation and save the face of the Zhuo family! But you have repeatedly let down the emperor's love. You are simply ungrateful!" guli
