My subjects are too rebellious!

Chapter 55 Do You Dare to Kill Me?

Before Qin Chuan could say anything, Yu Huatian became unhappy.

"Right Prime Minister, you have to have evidence when you speak. Do you think I have evidence to prove my confession under torture?"

"And what I present to your majesty is the evidence of Chen Ziqiang's corruption and abuse of power."

"Do you have anything to say about this?"

Qin Hui sneered and said, "Has any of us seen Lord Chen since yesterday's morning court session?"

"And at the court meeting yesterday, Lord Chen did not admit his guilt, so how come it took only one day for your West Factory to do so?"

"Mr. Chen can give the names of 276 officials."

"Your Majesty, is there really no problem with this?"

"Not to mention the confession under torture, I even have reason to suspect that the Western Factory Supervisor Yu Huatian is trying to eliminate dissidents!"

"Your Majesty, he is defying your majesty's authority! Please understand your majesty."

Qin Hui said this, waving his sleeves and pointing at Yu Huatian.

His righteous words and public-spirited appearance actually showed a bit of the pride of a scholar.

Qin Chuan looked at Qin Hui and found it a little funny.

Looking at the loyalty number of 12 above his head, he began to feel murderous.

Yu Huatian wanted to explain, but Qin Chuan interrupted him directly.

"Someone, bring Chen Ziqiang to me."

"I want him to speak in front of everyone to see whether he was tortured into confessing or not."

"Order!"

Immediately, four guards saluted and ran quickly towards the West Factory dungeon.

Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes and a sinister voice sounded in Qin Hui's ears.

"Okay, very good, Lord Right Prime Minister, please wait for us."

Qin Hui remained calm and stared at Yu Huatian without giving in.

But the hand in the sleeve began to tremble uncontrollably.

Just as all the civil and military officials in the court were waiting for Chen Ziqiang's arrival, the guard who had just left quickly ran back.

He immediately knelt down, clasped his fists and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty! It's bad! Chen Ziqiang hanged himself!"

"what!"

Yu Huatian exclaimed, and asked hurriedly: "When did he hang himself?"

The guard looked at Yu Huatian and then at Qin Chuan.

"Hurry up and tell me." Qin Chuan couldn't help but shouted.

"Your Majesty, it is the Mao hour today."

After Qin Chuan heard this, he actually laughed out of anger: "Haha, Mao time."

"The morning court had just begun when someone hanged himself."

"Okay, well done."

Qin Hui seemed to have known this outcome a long time ago, so there was no surprise on his face.

Instead, he just stood there calmly.

"Qin Hui, you already knew that Chen Ziqiang would hang himself, right?"

Yu Huatian stared at Qin Hui with resentment, but Qin Hui was not panicked and said with a smile.

"Don't say that casually, Master Yu. Didn't you just say that you need evidence for everything?"

"you!"

Yu Huatian was speechless for a moment. What did he think of? He hurriedly asked the guard.

"When you went there, who was guarding the dungeon? Was it Ma Jinliang?"

The guard shook his head: "When we arrived, there was a man wearing a seventh-rank official robe in Chen Ziqiang's cell checking his pulse."

"He called himself Ji Xueyong, and we later verified his identity."

Yu Huatian's mind exploded instantly. That man was only a seventh-rank official, but he relied on his power to act arrogantly.

How dare such a reckless guy betray our family?

At this moment, Yu Huatian inadvertently saw the hidden smile on Qin Hui's mouth.

"Old bastard! It's you!"

Seeing Yu Huatian walking towards him with his eyes wide open, Qin Hui no longer cared about his manners or the pride of a scholar.

He hurriedly dodged among the officials.

He wanted to rush up the imperial steps and run to His Majesty, but just as he was about to take a step, he noticed that the guards on both sides of the imperial path were ready to draw their swords.

He knew that if he dared to take one step onto the imperial steps, the guards holding the knife handles would immediately draw their swords and chop him to death.

So he had no choice but to run among the officials. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he always circled around Yan Song.

"Xiang Yan, fists and feet have no eyes, please get out of the way."

Yan Song was also a little angry. He never thought that this matter would have anything to do with him, and he never thought that Qin Hui would be so shameless.

The farce in the square was also stopped by Qin Chuan's angry shout.

"Stop it all."

"This is the morning court! This is not a troubled area, and you are not hooligans. You are my ministers."

Feeling that the emperor was really angry, Yu Huatian and Qin Hui immediately stood back in their original positions and stayed still.

However, Yu Huatian was really scared, while Qin Hui held his head high with a smile on his face.

It seemed that he had already won.

"Right Prime Minister, I want to ask you, if Chen Ziqiang was tortured into confessing, then what about these 276 officials?"

"This, I don't know either."

"Then let me ask you again, if there is no problem with the 276 officials, then why did they go to Ruyuanlou to pay the money?"

"I checked, there is nothing in Ruyuan Tower."

Qin Hui rolled his eyes, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, perhaps those people are bartering and discussing poetry in Ruyuan Tower."

"Okay, then are you sure that Chen Ziqiang was secretly executed by Yu Huatian?"

Qin Hui's brain was working rapidly. After careful consideration, he said, "This... I am not sure."

"Very good, since you are not sure, why don't you let me tell you."

"Long Qi, come out and tell my beloved ministers what happened."

Just as the officials were looking at Qin Chuan in confusion, they saw that the shadow behind Qin Chuan actually twisted.

The next second, a tall and thin man wearing a red-faced evil ghost mask appeared beside Qin Chuan.

"Long Qi attends your majesty!"

"Today at the time of Yin, Chen Ziqiang was resting in prison. At 5:50 of Yin, Ji Xueyong went to see Chen Ziqiang with a letter."

"After that, Chen Ziqiang hanged himself."

"Afterwards, I read the letter and found out it was written to Chen Ziqiang by his wife."

When Long Qi said this, Qin Chuan discovered that Qin Hui's body actually trembled slightly.

"Prime Minister Qin, you are the minister of state, so you must stand firm."

"Long Qi, continue."

Yan Song glanced at Qin Hui, then at Yu Huatian, and let out an imperceptible sigh.

He knew that His Majesty no longer trusted them, the important ministers left behind by the previous emperor.

However, this may be a case of reaping what one sows.

"After Chen Ziqiang and Ji Xueyong talked, we gave Chen Ziqiang a drug called the Living Death Grass, which can put him into suspended animation."

"Then, a fake suicide was fabricated."

"When Ji Xueyong saw it, he stepped forward to check the pulse until His Majesty's guards arrived."

Hearing this, Qin Hui's trembling legs could no longer support him and he collapsed to the ground.

Because he knew that he was completely finished.

However, Yan Song was keenly aware of Long Qi's word "we".

In addition to him, several ministers with ulterior motives also noticed it.

Their faces looked extremely ugly at this moment.

But Qin Chuan didn't care about all these. He suddenly exploded and pointed at Qin Hui and shouted angrily.

"Qin Hui! Now that all the certification materials are complete, do you have anything else to say?"

Qin Hui's voice trembled as he said in panic, "Your Majesty, I was deceived by a villain for a moment. This matter has nothing to do with me."

Haha, now you say it has nothing to do with you? It's too late!

"Someone, drag Qin Hui out and wait for your punishment!"

"Order!"

The Black Armor Army didn't care who Qin Hui was, they only knew that their master was the emperor.

Looking at the Black Armor Army getting closer and closer to him, Qin Hui was completely panicked.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you cannot kill me! If you kill me, the King of Beiliang will definitely seek justice for me."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan laughed out of anger, and the murderous intent in his eyes had already solidified.

However, Yan Song looked at Qin Hui with even more disdain.

It is ridiculous that such an idiot is worthy of being the Prime Minister of the same country as me.
