Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story
Chapter 175 The Emperor Condemned
Zhang Yinhang's resistance was futile and he was dragged out of the house by He Chao's men. The same thing happened to Qiao Benwei. They were all tied up and thrown into the yard.
Zhang Yinhang was furious, "He Chao! I am a fourth-rank official appointed by the Emperor. You cannot arrest me without the Emperor's order!"
"Oh, Master Zhang, we have to make decisions in an emergency. It's really not appropriate to disturb the Emperor in the middle of the night, but the Crown Prince ordered you to be arrested, isn't it the same? Do you dare to disobey the Crown Prince?"
Zhang Yinhang's face changed. He had taken his current position from the prince. Now that he was in the prince's hands, how could the prince let him go?
"I want to see my father-in-law! I want to see him!"
"You can't see anyone! First, explain your evidence of treason!"
"You're talking nonsense! I'm loyal to the Daqing Kingdom and have never colluded with the enemy!"
"Since Master Zhang is so stubborn, we should serve him well!"
"Yes!"
The yamen runners behind him stepped forward and began to torture Zhang Yinhang. Qiao Benwei did not spare him either. The couple tortured him together, one using a pair of tongs and the other using a splint, and they screamed like ghosts and wolves together.
Zhang Yinhang screamed, "He Chao, you're so bold! How dare you lynch an official of the imperial court? If the emperor finds out, he will definitely not forgive you!"
"Master Zhang, you should worry about yourself. It's hard to say whether you can see the emperor!"
Qiao Benwei screamed in pain. She didn't understand. She just came here to catch Zhang Yinhang as a traitor, so how did it become treason?
"Zhang Yinhang, what did you do? Tell me now!"
"Ignorant woman, I didn't do anything, why don't you believe me!"
"Fuck you! You said you'd love me forever, but you've got dozens of women here. Can you believe what you said? Confess what you did!"
Zhang Yinhang was furious. "Bitch! How can you admit to collaborating with the enemy and selling out your country? Why should I admit to something I didn't do? If I admit it, it will be a major crime of confiscating my family and destroying my ancestors. Don't even think about getting away!"
Qiao Benwei didn't say anything either. She knew how serious the injury was. The couple didn't say a word and just howled in pain.
He Chaoben didn't expect them to say anything. The letter in his hand was the evidence. It had Zhang Yinhang's name and seal on it. Regardless of whether he wrote it or not, his reputation was already tarnished and it was impossible to wash it clean. In other words, he could not stay in this position.
He Chao and Qiao Benwei were tormented for most of the night. They lay on the ground twitching like two dead dogs, even worse than the shivering women next to them.
The women hugged each other and looked at He Chao and others in horror. Fan Zhen and Mei Yingying also hugged each other and hid themselves among these women.
He Chao sent people to interrogate them and learned that they were all bought or robbed by Zhang Yinhang. He was shocked and said, "Zhang Yinhang, this scum, actually did such a thing as robbing women!"
A woman said boldly, "Sir, I heard that we were kidnapped by him because we look like a woman named Mei."
"plum......"
He Chao thought about it for a moment and then remembered that everyone in the court knew about the affair between Zhang Yinhang and the Mei family nine years ago. Countless people secretly despised Zhang Yinhang, saying that he was a biting snake.
"So it's because of her... Haha, Master Zhang, you killed your fiancée. It seems you've been unable to sleep at night for the past nine years!"
Zhang Yinhang lay on the ground without saying a word.
He Chao said, "Don't panic, everyone. After we report to the emperor and take your confessions, we will let you go."
"Thank you, sir."
Daybreak soon arrived, and He Chao ordered his men to drag Zhang Yinhang and Qiao Benwei up, put them on a carriage, and take them to the palace.
At the same time, the news was passed to the prince, who had already made up his mind that today he would definitely bring down Zhang Yinhang's family and the people behind them.
At one o'clock in the morning, the court session began. Emperor Zhao Guangjin had been spending the whole night with his two concubines. The elixir given by Zou Chu had such a strong effect that he was still energetic and not sleepy at all.
"Hahaha, Zou Chu's elixir is really good. I feel like I've returned to my youth and can go a whole day and two nights without sleeping!"
Liu Shun helped him put on his clothes and complimented him, "Your Majesty is as vigorous as ever, just like when he was young!"
"Hahahaha!"
The emperor was very happy and strode to court. With this spirit, he felt he could live for another five hundred years!
Liu Shun followed respectfully, but he wasn't so optimistic. The emperor looked energetic, but his eyes were cloudy and his cheeks were red, clearly a sign of exhaustion. He heard that taking too much of this elixir wouldn't be good for him...
bah bah bah!
Liu Shun cursed himself in his heart and quickly put the thought aside. People like them who serve the emperor not only cannot say anything careless, but also cannot think carelessly. They are afraid that if they are not careful or talk in their dreams at night, they will tell the truth in their hearts and bring disaster upon themselves.
When the emperor arrived at the court, he asked, "What do you have to report, my dear ministers?"
He Chao stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have a report to make. Last night, someone accused the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, Zhang Yinhang, of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. I searched his house and outer residences and indeed found documents of treason between him and the Wumeng Kingdom."
All the ministers were shocked, and the most shocked was Zhang Yinhang's father-in-law, Qiao Benwei's father, Qiao Shangshan. He looked at the thing in He Chao's hand in panic.
The emperor sat up straight, frowned, and asked, "Collaboration with the enemy? Present it to me."
"Yes."
Liu Shun took the letter from He Chao's hand, checked it one by one, opened it, and handed it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please read it."
The emperor took it and looked at it for a few seconds, then became furious. This was a letter written by Zhenpaier to Zhang Yinhang. The emperor only read the first few lines and was sure that it was written by Zhenpaier himself, because the handwriting on the letter was exactly the same as the one written by Zhenpaier to him!
"Zhang Yinhang, that bastard, really betrayed me!"
Everyone was shocked. Why was the emperor so impatient today? Could he convict someone with just a few quick glances?
The sun rises early in the summer. The sunlight shines in through the gate of Hanyuan Hall and hits the emperor's face, making him even more restless. He is so hot that he can't sit still. The emperor wants to get angry, throw things, and kill people.
His face turned even redder, and he panted heavily, throwing the letter to the ground impatiently, "Zhang Yinhang, that bastard, how dare you betray me!"
Qiao Shangshan panicked. Collaboration with the enemy and betrayal was a grave crime punishable by the death of nine generations of one's family. He hurriedly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, could there be some misunderstanding here? Zhang Yinhang's loyalty to you is as clear as day and night!"
"Humph! You still dare to deny it! Liu Shun, go get the letter from Wumeng Kingdom and compare it one by one for me!"
"Yes!"
Liu Shun trotted to the imperial study and took out all the letters from the Wumeng Kingdom. The emperor ordered the Secretary-General and others to compare them one by one.
The ministers looked at it for a long time and gave the answer, "Your Majesty, the fonts are exactly the same!"
"Ahhhhhhh!"
The emperor became even more enraged. He stood up and furiously swept everything on the dragon table to the ground. "It's true!"
Unable to vent his anger, he quickly walked to the stage and kicked Qiao Shangshan to the ground. "You old bastard, the evidence is irrefutable, yet you're still denying Zhang Yinhang. Are you committing treason with him?"
