Chapter 193: Interrogation and Revelation

A cold glint flashed in Feng Jingxuan's eyes as he glared coldly at Yin Ce, Wen Renxin, Chen Shilang, Qian Dajin, and Qian Dayong. He knew these men were the Third Prince's right-hand men, and their crimes were equally unforgivable. The air in the interrogation room was thick, almost suffocating. Sunlight filtered through the narrow windows onto the ground, illuminating each of their tense, distorted figures.

"Yin Ce," Feng Jingxuan turned his gaze to the Third Prince's military advisor, his voice low and majestic, "You assisted the Third Prince in planning a rebellion and inciting refugees. Do you know your crime?" The coldness in his tone made everyone present shiver involuntarily.

Yin Ce lowered his head, feeling extremely regretful. Knowing that he had no way out, he said in a deep voice, "I am just following the orders of the Third Prince. Everything is under his instruction." His voice was weak, as if he had lost all his confidence in an instant.

Feng Jingxuan sneered and sarcastically responded, "No matter who instigated this, you cannot escape the crime of treason." His words were sonorous, full of ruthless judgment on Yin Ce. Yin Ce's heart was secretly panicked, he knew that his choice would directly affect his future destiny.

He turned to the former Nanyang prefect Wen Renxin and the left vice minister of the Ministry of Rites Chen Shilang: "Wen Renxin, as a local official, you colluded with the third prince, abused your power for personal gain, oppressed the people, and robbed and plundered. The people of Nanyang hate you to the core! Do you know your crime?" Feng Jingxuan's gaze was like a knife, piercing deep into Wen Renxin's heart.

Wen Renxin was covered in cold sweat, with sweat on his forehead sliding down his cheeks. His voice trembled: "I was just following the rules, and I never thought it would cause such a disaster..." His voice was mixed with panic and despair, like a helpless lamb, trying to defend himself.

"Rules?" Feng Jingxuan snorted coldly, his tone full of contempt, "Your 'rules' are to exploit the people and amass wealth through corruption!" His words pounced on Wen Renxin like a beast, leaving him nowhere to hide.

Then, he looked coldly at Minister Chen, looking straight into his eyes: "Minister Chen, you are an important official of the court, but you sheltered the third prince, used your official position to embezzle the people's property, and persecuted loyal officials. Do you know your crime?" His words were like a sharp knife, cutting through the fragile defense line in Minister Chen's heart.

Minister Chen's expression was gloomy, his inner panic transformed into a nameless rage, he gritted his teeth and said: "I am only trying to protect my family. Nanyang Prefecture has long been in turmoil, and only if I help the third prince ascend the throne can my family be protected..." His excuses were full of selfishness and indifference, as if the innocent people were nothing more than pawns in his eyes.

"Your so-called 'family plan' has killed countless people!" Feng Jingxuan rebuked him mercilessly, his tone filled with disgust and disdain for Minister Chen. He knew that in the face of such cruel reality, any excuses would be pale and powerless.

Next, Feng Jingxuan turned his gaze to Qian Dajin and Qian Dayong: "Qian Dajin, you provided financial support for the rebellion, used the power of Xinglong Money House to manipulate the market, squeezed merchants, and plundered people's wealth. Do you plead guilty?" There was a hint of determination in his tone, which made Qian Dajin's heart tighten.

Qian Dajin's face was pale, his hands trembling, and his expression was dazed. "I... I was forced by the Third Prince..." His words trembled like leaves in the wind, unable to stop. But in front of Feng Jingxuan, his excuses seemed so fragile and powerless.

"Enough! No matter the reason, the crime has been committed." Feng Jingxuan's tone was merciless, like an irresistible thunderbolt, crashing down. Everyone in the interrogation room watched silently, knowing that their fate was already sealed.

Finally, he looked at Qian Dayong, a trace of anger flashed across his face: "Qian Dayong, as a general of the court, not only did you fail to protect the people, but you colluded with the third prince and mobilized the army to attack Nanyang Prefecture. Do you know your crime?" Feng Jingxuan's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Qian Dayong's heart.

Qian Dayong's face was pale, and he tried to argue: "Prince, I never really cooperated with the Third Prince. I was just forced to do so..." There was a faint fear in his voice, as if he was using his last effort to defend himself, but the more he struggled, the more powerless he seemed.

"The crime of treason is a heinous crime, unforgivable!" Feng Jingxuan declared icily, his face as cold as a thousand-year-old ice, devoid of any emotion, as if he were declaring an irreversible doomsday. The interrogation room was utterly silent, a pin drop audible. Everyone knew that any of their defenses were futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Feng Jingxuan stared at them with an icy gaze, the disdain and ruthlessness revealed in his eyes like two sharp blades, piercing their hearts. Finally, he resolutely ordered: "Take them all away and await the court's verdict!"

The soldiers advanced swiftly, whisking away the Third Prince and his followers one by one. Their footsteps echoed like thunder in the dead silence, ringing the death knell for their fate. Outside, the night wind roared like a roaring lion, fierce and violent, heralding the end of this turbulent period and the dawn of hope for Nanyang Prefecture.

Feng Jingxuan stood quietly at the door of the interrogation room, looking back at the retreating rebels. While he felt a sense of relief, he also felt a heavy sense of responsibility weighing heavily on him. He knew that Nanyang Prefecture's journey to nirvana and rebirth had only just begun, and the difficulties and obstacles ahead loomed large.

He slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, savoring the refreshing air of the night breeze as he pondered the unfolding events. Everyone had paid a heavy price in this turbulent time, but he knew his mission had only just begun. He must lead Nanyang Prefecture through the fog of darkness, embrace the warmth of dawn, and forge a more peaceful and harmonious future for its people.
