Twin Space: The Evil King Should Never Think of Taking the Throne
Chapter 71: Accusing the Huo Family of Framing Zhongliang
Wei Changying returned with the imperial guards, but he did not bring back any letters of treason, only a thief named Shan Jiang. According to him, when they arrived, they saw this man fighting with a young man in blue clothes, and the two soon decided the winner. The man kicked him into the lotus pond. After they fished him out, they found the letter in his arms, but they did not have time to put it in Guo Shaohou's study.
Shan Jiang was indeed panicked when he was taken into the Golden Palace, but he quickly thought of a countermeasure, so he insisted that Guo Sheng was afraid that the letter would be unsafe if it was kept in the study, so he asked him to move it away. However, before he could take it away, he was stopped by Zhang Qiong, so a fight broke out.
This move was a vicious one, but it also revealed traces of frame-up. However, Shan Jiang insisted that it was Guo Sheng who did it, so the censor exaggerated it and wanted the emperor to convict Guo Sheng.
Just as the people in the hall were arguing over whether to convict Guo Sheng, Yun Yiduo patted her hands that had just finished eating the cake and slowly stood up. She walked around the table and bowed to the Emperor Zhangde who was on the throne, saying:
"Your Majesty, Duoduo has something to say."
The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the little girl with Mu Li. Emperor Zhangde also put on a loving smile and said:
"Oh? What do you want to say?"
"Your Majesty, just now this censor insisted that it was Young Marquis Guo who instructed Shan Jiang to destroy the evidence, but Duoduo believes that Shan Jiang is not telling the truth."
“How come you see?”
Emperor Zhangde gave Yun Yiduo face because he thought this little girl would definitely find a way out. Hearing what Emperor Zhangde said, Yun Yiduo smiled, and rummaged around in her bosom, finally pulling out a small medicine bottle.
"In fact, as long as he tells the truth, everything will be fine. Duoduo was not talented and was weak when she was young, so she read more medical books and made medicines when she had nothing to do. On a whim, she also made some strange medicines. This is one of them, called the Truth Pill."
"Truth Pill?"
The prince was very curious when he heard Yun Yiduo's description, and interrupted her before she could explain. Hearing the prince's surprise, Yun Feiyang and Cen Song both laughed. At first, they also thought that their sister was really boring, and it was simply unrealistic to study the truth pill. However, perhaps it was God's blessing that she really made it.
"As the name suggests, if you take this pill, you must tell the truth. If you don't, you will feel like you are being eaten by thousands of insects, and you will be in excruciating pain."
"This is true."
The prince became even more interested. Such a pill was truly too magical. Even the emperor and the queen on the main seat cast curious glances at Yun Yido.
"Of course I take it seriously. Your Highness will know once you give it a try."
Yun Yiduo stretched out her hand, handed the medicine bottle to the prince, and said with a smile:
"Your Highness, there are eight truth pills in here. Just give one to Shan Jiang. The rest will be given to the Crown Prince."
"Really?"
The prince's eyes lit up, and his face was filled with a wide smile, revealing a row of white teeth that looked particularly beautiful. Zhao Xingchen, who was standing beside him, also looked at the medicine bottle with shining eyes, as if she wanted to snatch the bottle from her brother, the prince.
The prince took the medicine bottle and bowed deeply to Yun Yido, then opened the stopper, took out a pill, and went over to feed it to Shan Jiang personally.
Shan Jiang, who was force-fed the medicine, did not believe it at first, but half a minute later, Shan Jiang felt that something was wrong with him. At this time, Yun Yiduo asked:
"Shan Jiang, why did you go to Shaohou Mansion today?"
"I was ordered by the young marquis to transfer the letter. Aaaaaaaaah!"
A series of wailing sounds came out of Shan Jiang's mouth, shocking the entire hall into silence. Hu Yanlang, who was already sitting in the envoy's seat, looked at Yun Yiduo wearing a veil and was extremely shocked.
"No, someone asked me to put the letter in the study to frame the young marquis."
"Who ordered it?"
Upon hearing this, the prince hurriedly asked.
"It's Guo...ah...no, it's Master Huo, the future heir of the Huo family."
"Are there any accomplices?"
"Yes!"
When Lord Xing heard Shan Jiang say yes, he became very uneasy. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he knew in his heart that this time it was really over.
"Who?"
"Master Xing, Master Fan, Master Xu..." Shan Jiang said three or four in a row, and finally felt relieved when the pain stopped. From then on, the truth came out. The masters who were named all knelt on the ground and shouted that they were guilty.
At the same time, Guo Sheng stood up, lifted his robe and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I was framed, and the evidence is solid. Although the truth is revealed today, I am still frightened. I want to redress my grievances and sue the Huo family for colluding with ministers and colluded with people in the underworld to frame loyal officials. Please, Your Majesty, sentence the Huo family to death."
"Your Majesty, please sentence the Huo family to death."
Following Guo Sheng's request, many ministers stood up and knelt, asking the emperor to punish the Huo family, including Queen Xue Jing, the Crown Prince, and the two princesses.
"Someone summon Huo Mingyu to the palace."
Emperor Zhangde ordered Master Huo Mingyu to enter the palace. This was to punish him and hold him accountable. At the same time, he looked at all the ministers, asked them to stand up, and directly issued an order:
"The imperial censors Xing Hui, Fan Zeng, Xu Biao and others colluded with Liu Shuo to frame loyal officials. The evidence is irrefutable and they were sentenced to death. Their property was confiscated and their families were exiled to the northern border as slaves. The commander of Luocheng falsely accused the general and was executed immediately. The gangster Shan Jiang was also executed immediately."
The imperial edicts of punishment came one after another, which made the imperial guards very busy. A welcoming banquet turned into a murder scene, which was quite creative.
Just as blood flowed like a river outside the Golden Palace and the convicted officials cried for their parents, Master Huo came in from outside. When he saw the scene in the Golden Palace, he knew that the matter was exposed and everything was over.
He came to the Golden Palace and slowly knelt in front of it, his face calm.
"I, Huo Mingyu, pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty."
"Huo Mingyu, do you admit your guilt?"
"The common people are guilty!"
"What crime?"
"I shouldn't have bribed the officials of the imperial court and the people of Jianghu to frame Guo Shaohou out of jealousy because my wife secretly loved him."
"Oh, could it be that you weren't the one who colluded with Liu Shuo?"
"no!"
Huo Mingyu insisted that he framed Guo Shaohou, but refused to admit that he had colluded with Liu Shuo, so the prince fed him the truth pill, but the result was the same.
Everyone was silent.
It seems that there is another member of the Huo family who is in collusion with Liu Shuo, but after investigating the matter so far, all clues are cut off with Young Master Huo, and it is difficult to make any breakthrough.
Guo Sheng sighed. He had known for a long time that it was too difficult to shake the Huo family. Fortunately, they won the first battle, and the Huo family had to bury an heir, which was also a head-on blow to the Huo family.
As a result, Huo Mingyu was beheaded on the spot, but the Huo family was not implicated. Hu Yanlang, who was sitting on the sidelines, was drinking alone. He didn't care whether the peace talks would succeed or not, and he didn't care whether he would be a hostage or not, because he had plenty of ways to leave Tianjing City.
