"That's a bunch of nonsense, Mr. Li, you are an ungrateful villain. I thought back then I promoted you everywhere because of your poor family, but you are so kind. Is this how you repay me?"
Wang Zhijie was so angry that his teeth were itching and he looked like a white-eyed wolf. This kind of mood was not very good.
"Okay, stop arguing. I know exactly what's going on with you guys.
Are you sure Mr. Wang was not involved in this matter? I will ask you one last time, if you say no, I will believe you!"
Baili Qingchen's cold voice sounded, and everyone immediately shut up and stared at the emperor blankly.
"Back to the Emperor, it is absolutely true that I... was not involved in this matter."
"Master Wang, you have to think carefully. It is a capital crime to deceive the king and ignore your superiors. If you don't tell the truth, I'm afraid... not even the Queen Mother will be able to protect you!"
Xiao Liuzi was on the side, kindly reminding Wang Zhijie that they only thought it was a bluff and there was no evidence at all. So what if the emperor found those so-called account books.
"What does Sixth Eunuch mean by saying this?"
"Sir Wang, Dali Temple has obtained enough evidence, and what you have done over the years is clearly visible to me.
Someone will explain it to you in detail later, and it doesn’t matter whether you tell the truth or not!
And these adults, if they don’t admit their mistakes even when they are about to die, they can only go to the Yama Hall to admit their mistakes to the Lord of Hell!”
Xiao Liuzi's sharp and piercing voice sounded, "Here comes... put these adults into the sky prison and wait until they are punished!"
The hall echoed with the voices of several people begging for mercy. The people who had just begged for Wang Zhijie immediately shrank back. Seeing that Lord Wang was about to be executed, no one wanted to cause trouble for themselves, so naturally they would not continue to plead for him.
.
"Does anyone else want to defend Mr. Wang?"
Baili Qingchen's cold eyes scanned the people below the hall. Everyone lowered their heads, afraid to look at the emperor.
"Don't think that I don't know anything about what you are doing. I know everything you have been doing for so many years.
The reason why I haven’t found you now is because some people are not worthy of death, but don’t be happy too early!”
Baili Qingchen just wanted to give these people a warning. He had had enough of being a coward for so many years, and now he knew that his mother-in-law had passed away.
Even if the Queen Mother wakes up, she can't be angry with herself anymore. Wang Zhijie and his family will all be punished.
Wei Qiurong looked solemn and stood there a little uneasy. Wang Zhijie and he had always been colluding, and everyone knew that they had a good relationship.
The emperor didn't mention anything today. Is it really because he is lucky? Or is it like the emperor said, the crime he committed will not lead to death.
Impossible. If Wang Zhijie is really beheaded, he will definitely not be able to save his head.
Li Baihan and Zhao Nancheng looked at each other and smiled. Mr. Wang has been trapped in a cocoon for so many years, and it is finally his turn to suffer retribution.
Although there is no clear answer to the old general's matter until now, the answer will definitely be solved soon.
If Wang Zhijie hadn't revealed what happened back then, he would have died even worse.
"General Li, it is up to you to investigate the matter involving Wang Zhijie. You must get to the bottom of it and convince everyone. If anyone interferes with it, kill him without mercy!"
Li Baihan hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on one knee on the ground, and said loudly and forcefully, "Master, accept the order!"
"Retreat!"
Baili Qingchen waved his sleeves and left, and everyone in the court fell to their knees. After watching the emperor leave, groups of small groups began to discuss.
"Is this Lord Wang going to fall?"
"I think this time it's over. The emperor is really angry this time. Now the life or death of the Queen Mother is uncertain, and Concubine Lian has been thrown into the cold palace again.
The young master of the Wang family is a loser, and Mr. Wang will be in trouble this time!"
"You guys, stop talking nonsense here. The matter has not been settled yet. No one knows what the situation will be like!"
Li Baihan and Zhao Nancheng listened to the chats of several people and couldn't help but feel a little relieved that this disgusting man was finally subdued by the emperor.
"Master Wang's crimes are heinous. If this matter is investigated clearly, it may be more serious than bad. You adults should think about what you will do in the future!"
Zhao Nancheng came over and lowered his voice, deliberately frightening these Wang Zhijie's gang members. These old guys are usually the most timid and like to echo what others say.
He has done nothing in the court, so the emperor doesn't want to see him.
"Master Zhao, what are you talking about? We are innocent. If we really colluded with Master Wang, the emperor would have punished us long ago!"
When several people saw the young and successful Zhao Nancheng, they felt very jealous. They usually wouldn't show it so obviously, but when they didn't see him, they felt uncomfortable.
Some people can't even pass the exam with gray hair, and some people pass the exam at a young age. Zhao Nancheng is such a person.
Therefore, in the hearts of these veterans, they were very unconvinced by these young generals and lieutenants.
"I'm afraid only the adults themselves know whether they have done bad things or not.
But it doesn't matter whether you do bad things or not. After all, didn't the emperor say that those who commit crimes that are not worthy of death will not be punished.
The adults should be more careful in what they do in the future!"
Zhao Nancheng looked at a few people with a half-smile, then turned and walked towards Li Baihan after finishing speaking.
"Brother Li, let's go quickly! Wang Zhijie must be very anxious now, and his words are full of loopholes. If we let him calm down, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to deal with!"
Li Baihan nodded in agreement. It was not an easy task for that old fox. He probably guessed what they would say and must have said that these things had nothing to do with him. Then he waited for the Queen Mother to wake up.
But in the final analysis, this incident was just shooting oneself in the foot. Concubine Lian designed all this, not only did she not kill her own aunt, but she and her own father were killed.
"let's go!"
After Li Baihan and Zhao Nancheng left side by side, Wei Qiurong breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly realized a sense of crisis.
If I insist on going my own way, I'm afraid I will end up exactly like that person.
But now if Wang Zhijie jumps over the wall and bites himself out, it will be a dead end.
The only way for those who were arrested was to plead guilty, while those who were left outside had to think about things all day long, which was very uncomfortable.
That night, he sent someone to tell Concubine Shu that she must please the Queen and strive to have a good relationship with the Queen before her brother came back, so as to save their family from death.
Concubine Shu saw the letter written by her father and tore it into pieces angrily, "Are you crazy? You asked me to frame the Queen before, but now you ask me to curry favor with the Queen!
Does my father regard me as a fool, or does he regard the Queen as a fool? I really don’t understand what they think!"
