Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 838

That jade pendant was not an heirloom of the Xie family, but was given to Xie Cangping by Yang Guan, who asked him to put it in Xing Mingyue's bag.

Now that one of Yang Guan's ears had been cut off, he was terrified, watching his fallen master unable to protect himself, let alone save him.

Another witness was Mr. Wang, the official of Hong County.

It was he who arrested Xing Mingyue and it was also he who secretly sentenced Xing Mingyue to death.

Fraud for personal gain! Secretly murdering candidates! Making up punishments privately, aggravating the crime! He cannot escape the death penalty. If the system of collective punishment had not been abolished, his whole family would have died.

Lord Wang burst into tears, "Your Majesty, I have no other choice! The Ying family has absolute power in Qizhou! The Ying family asked me to arrest someone, and I had to do it. If I don't do it, I and my family will die!"

Emperor Mingde was furious when he heard this. This was his father and mother official in the northern wing!

With officials like this, how can the people live in peace?

Emperor Mingde blamed himself very much. While blaming himself, he glared at the Minister of Personnel who was next to the Minister of War.

This is how officials are assessed when they receive salaries from the imperial court! Well, well, the Ministry of Personnel should reflect on itself.

The Minister of Personnel originally just came to join in the fun in front of Emperor Mingde, who would have thought that he would be implicated?

He was startled by the glare from Emperor Mingde and felt the official hat on his head tilted.

But the slightly sad voice of Emperor Mingde sounded, "The Ying family is so powerful! I didn't know that Qizhou was originally the territory of the Ying family!"

The spies of the Ying family in the capital quickly withdrew from the crowd and ran away. They had to go back and report to their master quickly, otherwise they would be killed by the Ying family in Qizhou.

In fact, why did they need to report there? Someone from the Ying family in Beijing was already present, and their faces were livid, as if they were about to face a disaster.

Lord Wang dared not hide anything and confessed everything, including the bribes he had received.

The case of Xing Mingyue being wrongly imprisoned was solved, and the evidence was clear. The witnesses and evidence, as well as the jade pendant used to frame her, were all presented to the Dali Temple for handling.

It wasn't over yet. Xing Mingyue's grandmother, parents, brothers and sisters, and aunt all knelt before Emperor Mingde.

Xing Mingyue presented the note with the illegible handwriting "If you want your family to be safe, go to Fuyuan Teahouse alone" and the packet of deadly powder.

Xing Mingyue pointed out Yang Guan loudly, "This man wants me to poison and kill six candidates, including me. They are Tang Xinghe, the eldest son of the Minister of Revenue Tang, and Ma Chuyang, the second son of General Ma..."

He listed the identities of the other five candidates one by one, which made Emperor Mingde angry again.

Even though he had already known the news last night, hearing it again still made him want to tear Ying Liangchen into pieces.

The villain wants to harm the pillars of his northern wing!

If Xing Mingyue goes astray for the safety of her family, Tang Xinghe and others will surely die.

A waiter at Fuyuan Teahouse testified that Yang Guan had brought the woman with her hands and feet tied to wait for Xing Mingyue in the private room yesterday.

It was really shocking to commit such a blatant crime under the emperor's feet. Even if the powerful people in the capital wanted to do something, they would do it secretly.

Is this because he is afraid that others will not know that he is going to do something bad? At the same time, it also indirectly shows that the Ying family is so domineering in Qizhou.

At this point, the kidnapping case was confirmed.

But at this moment, Ying Liangchen shouted, "I know nothing about these things! It must be that bastard Yang Guan who did it behind my back!"

This is intended to be a clean sweep.

Yang Guan hesitated for a moment, and was about to take all the blame when he heard Emperor Mingde's slow and heavy voice like a rock pressing down on him, "Anyone who tells a lie or gives a false confession will be punished with the entire clan! No mercy will be given!"
