Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

The court was very lively after the autumn hunt. It was time to deal with so many evil spirits that were revealed during the autumn hunt.

"What are your thoughts on the treatment of the traitors Zhongli Hengyi and Zhongli Rui?"

"I think we should refer to the King of Qi's approach."

"That's not right. The Prince of Qi simply came to the capital without being summoned and didn't commit any clear acts of rebellion. The Second Prince and Prince Xin, one led assassins to kill the Emperor, and the other was even more ruthless, poisoning numerous court officials and the Emperor."

"Since ancient times, treason has been a grave crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan. Even members of the royal family should be severely punished."

"The specifics depend on your Majesty's wishes. After all, fratricide and uncle-nephew disputes are not honorable. It also depends on whether your Majesty will quietly punish the two or make their crimes public."

"According to your noble opinions, the Second Prince and Prince Xin are doomed to die no matter what."

Although these officials meant this, none of them came forward to say that they wanted to execute the two men.

Although the two were arrested, who knows if there are still people like them in the court. If I were to be the first to stand out and be retaliated against, it would be an unexpected disaster.

"How about this, Nie Yueming, you go to the palace yourself and bring the Queen Mother back. After all, the Second Prince is the Queen Mother's biological son. I'll ask the Queen Mother for her opinion."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

"As for Prince Xin's crimes of poisoning important officials, assassinating me, and raising private soldiers, he is guilty of the most heinous crimes. He must be put to death for all his crimes."

"Choose a day to have him torn apart by five horses at the city gate to deter other evil-minded villains. All his property will be confiscated."

"Ling Xuan, send a team of elite soldiers to Prince Xin's fiefdom immediately to confiscate all the property of Prince Xin's mansion. Execute everyone in Prince Xin's mansion on the spot."

"Yes, I accept the order."

"Princess Xin and the maternal families of Prince Xin's concubines must investigate whether they were involved in this incident. Those who were involved will be executed, and those who were not will be exiled, and all their property will be confiscated. I leave this matter to you, the Minister of Justice and the Chief Justice."

"Yes, I accept the order."

"Yes, I accept the order."

"General Weiyuan's family will be executed, and those who support Prince Xin's ascension to the throne will be exiled. You two must hurry and not let anyone go."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Besides this, I have something else. Anyone who bribed an assassin to kill me must stand up now. Their property will be confiscated and they will be exiled. If I can point them out, they will be torn into pieces like Prince Xin."

As soon as these words were spoken, the officials looked around, wondering who dared to assassinate the emperor.

Maybe they didn't see the scene of the emperor being assassinated, or maybe they believed that the assassin was tight-lipped.

No one stood up in the audience.

"Okay, I gave you a chance to live, but you didn't want it, so I'll call your names."

Leng Qingyi waved a stack of papers in his hand at the officials below.

With an evil smile on his lips, he looked at the officials below who seemed a little guilty.

"General You Guerrilla, on the first day of August, I sent my personal guards to the secret chamber in Jianghu and spent a thousand taels to buy my head."

Leng Qingyi's cold voice contained a hint of contempt as he looked at the guerrilla general with disdain, his face full of panic.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I did not do such a thing."

"Do you firmly believe that people who come out of the secret chamber are very tight-lipped? Unfortunately, I pried their mouths open."

"Your Majesty, I didn't. Perhaps the assassin has a grudge against me and is deliberately slandering me."

"Really? An Yi, bring the person here."

An Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, appeared in the hall with a ghostly figure, holding a dirty person in his hand, especially his buttocks, which were a mixture of blood red and feces yellow, which was very disgusting.

The man was thrown directly onto the guerrilla general by Anzhi.

A bloody and foul smell filled the guerrilla general's nose, almost making him vomit out the two snacks he had eaten in the morning.

The guerrilla general silently moved to the side before taking a closer look at the man's face.

After seeing the man's face clearly, his eyes widened with disbelief.

How come the person who came back from Sanjue Mountain with him yesterday became like this today?

When did the emperor capture the person and torture him like this?

Recalling that he didn't see him when he went out in the morning, fear rose in his heart because another guard had brought him here.

The emperor kidnapped the man last night and interrogated him overnight so he can directly convict him today. This really caught him off guard.

"Tell me, who ordered you to go to the Dark Pavilion to buy my head?"

The dirty guard raised his head with difficulty and looked towards the platform.

Seeing this, the emperor recalled what the devil had said when he was brought here.

"If you tell the truth in the throne room, you'll be fine. If you play any other tricks, you'll have to stay here for two more months."

Thinking of this, the guard shuddered all over and his buttocks suddenly tightened.

He turned his head and stared at the master beside him, with a somewhat crazy look on his face.

"It was him. He was the one who gave me the banknote and asked me to go. I didn't have that much money and I didn't know what the secret chamber was. It was all his fault."

Leng Qing raised an eyebrow and looked at the guerrilla general with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, this confession was forced upon me by torture. I deny it."

Leng Qingyi didn't need to say anything, the guard had already spoken.

"Your Majesty, I have evidence. He knows a leader of the Dark Chamber. He wrote a letter and asked me to take it to that leader, asking him to prioritize issuing the tasks he assigned."

The guerrilla general suddenly turned around and saw the guard take out a torn piece of paper from the interlayer of his shoe sole.

He pretended to stand up to grab it, but An Yi appeared out of nowhere and kicked him to the ground.

"Nie Yueming, take it and read it."

Nie Yueming walked forward with disdain, took the paper, opened it and began to read.

"Priority release. I'll give you Red Yao once the matter is completed. - Liu Gang."

"Hong Yao is the general's new concubine, and she's been favored by the hall master."

The guard spoke first, but the guerrilla general Liu Gang lay on the ground motionless, no longer having the strength to try to dissuade him.

The evidence is conclusive that he must die.

"Your Majesty, General Liu does have a concubine named Hong Yao, a woman he redeemed from a brothel some time ago."

An official who was close to Liu Gang came forward to confirm the facts, fearing that he would have any connection with him.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Liu Gang straightened up and kowtowed again.

"I am dissatisfied with the emperor's favoritism towards General Ling and his neglect of my impulsive behavior. I beg the emperor not to implicate my wife and children."

"Do you know what crime you have committed? You still dream of asking me to spare your wife and children. Your crimes deserve the death of your entire clan. Someone take you to the Heavenly Prison and choose a day to execute you."

"The rest will come out on their own or I will order them one by one."

After this was said, no one stood up.

Leng Qingyi didn't give them any more chances and released the remaining people as well as the witnesses and evidence.

There were a few fewer people in the court, and the number of people in the Golden Palace was visibly sparse.

Officials who used to doze off secretly during the morning court had to stay alert at this time, otherwise they would be discovered if they were not careful.

"Ling Xuan, you are to search the houses of these people and put them in jail first. Then, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple will jointly investigate and see if they have committed any other crimes before making any further decisions."

"Yes, I accept the order."
