The prince is very cruel

"I, I don't know!"

"I don't know?" Guan Ning was not in a hurry and sneered: "If that's the case, then I will just do my job."

"I will have this secret letter delivered to His Majesty's desk."

With that said, he stood up.

"Do not!!"

Zhao Yi shouted, grabbing Guan Ning's legs tightly: "Nephew, no, no!"

"What good will it do you if I'm killed? Please, let me go!"

Lou Xinyue on the side showed a look of disgust, she could no longer hold back.

Guan Ning said coldly: "Tell me the truth of what happened back then, and I will return this secret letter to you. At least you can save your life."

"But if you continue to act crazy, I don't have that much patience. I'll only count to three."

Zhao Yi looked unhappy.

"one!"

"two!"

He counted very quickly, with almost no pauses.

"three!"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Zhao Yi roared. Even though he was filled with rage and hatred, he had to lower his head, thinking about getting the secret letter back first and then dealing with Guan Ning later.

"Well, I asked someone to write that letter, and I was the one who brought it to Prince Wu's Mansion. Chang Shoufang was indeed... indeed wronged!" He gritted his teeth.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled in the sky, shattering the earth and sky, as if God was speaking up for Chang Shoufang.

Lou Xinyue's snow-white fingers clenched the sword, her black hair dancing wildly, and she said coldly: "Why are you doing this?"

Zhao Yi's scalp went numb and he felt suffocated.

"No, it's none of my business. This is the Governor's order!"

"He was at odds with the Governor-General, asking His Majesty to cut the military pay in Guangdong and Guangxi, and even asking His Majesty to audit the accounts. This angered His Majesty."

This was almost consistent with Guan Ning's guess. Lou Xinyue's cold eyes were filled with murderous intent!

Guan Ning signaled her not to act rashly and quickly said, "Words are not enough, sign and seal it!"

After saying that, he asked someone to hand over the writing brush, ink and rice paper that had been prepared in advance.

Seeing this, Zhao Yi's face changed drastically. Signing and sealing the document would be a different matter. It would be evidence of his guilt! He was obviously unwilling to do so. After all, framing a court official was a serious crime.

Guan Ning seemed to be able to see through what he was thinking.

"Which of the two things, framing a minister or forming a clique for personal gain, is more serious? You can choose for yourself."

This one sentence made Zhao Yi fall into despair. He wanted to cry but had no tears. He wondered how he, the Minister of Justice, had ended up in such a situation. He should have brought more guards with him!

"If I sign and seal, will you give me the secret letter?"

"Correct!"

"you swear!"

"I swear!" Guan Ning blurted out.

Lou Xinyue's eyes changed slightly, and she obviously didn't want to let Zhao Yi go.

"Okay, I'll sign!" Zhao Yi gritted his teeth after receiving the promise and was forced to write a confession, but deep in his eyes, a gloomy hatred flickered!

He swore that after escaping, he would make Guan Ning suffer eternal damnation!

Guan Ning, just wait for me!

Soon, the confession was written, and the fingerprints and official seals were all pressed on it.

Guan Ning checked it personally, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Chang Shoufang's matter was basically settled.

"I've finished writing. Where's my stuff?" Zhao Yi asked impatiently.

Guan Ning raised the corner of his mouth: "Your things, your things?"

"You!!" Zhao Yi's face instantly turned pale, and he roared, "You just swore to return the secret letter to me!"

"I swear, and you believe it?" Guan Ning said calmly. He would not be honest with his enemies.

On the side, Lou Xinyue was stunned for a moment. This guy...

boom!

Zhao Yiru was struck by lightning and realized that he had been deceived, and his whole body was trembling.

"you you!"

"Puff..." Zhao Yi spat out a blood mist, furious, pointing at Guan Ning and roaring.

"You despicable person, you despicable person!"

"Give it to me, give it to me!" He wanted to snatch it like crazy.

boom!

Guan Ning kicked the man away without any mercy: "When dealing with trash like you, do I still need to keep my word?"

"You think I don't know what you're thinking?"

"I'll give you this secret letter. After you get out of this situation, you can wait for an opportunity to take revenge on me?"

Zhao Yi was in great pain and extremely angry, but he had to give in again and begged, "Nephew, no, no, I won't retaliate against you, please, I don't want to die!"

He was about to cry. Even the highest-ranking officials were panicking at this moment, because forming a clique for personal gain was tantamount to treason!
