The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"Resign from office and retire into seclusion?"

“What you say makes some sense, Lord Wang. If no explanation is given, other officials may indeed feel insecure.”

"But do you think everyone is as smart as you?"

"Some people's evidence was never destroyed in time, and the conclusive evidence is in my hands."

"You can endure until dawn, until the court session, using the officials as your shield, but what about them? If they continue to endure, they will face certain death. Do you think they wouldn't try their best to fight for their own survival?"

Yue Fei looked in another direction with a cold smile.

"Lord Yin, don't you agree?"

If everyone were as clever as Tang Situi, leaving no trace of evidence, then he might not have a good solution.

However, among these twenty-odd people, there will always be some idiots.

If even one fool leaves evidence, they won't be a united front.

Moreover, the evidence was left by far more than one person!

As Yue Fei's gaze fell upon them, most of the people hurriedly lowered their heads again, already plotting how to survive this ordeal.

Betraying others?

Or should we stubbornly hold out until tomorrow's court session, where the officials will put pressure on His Majesty and Yue Fei to release the prisoners?

Smart people have two choices, but many people don't have a second choice.

Seeing that someone was interested, Lord Wang quickly looked at Tang Situi, who was squatting in the corner and had not made a sound.

"Prime Minister Tang, do you really want to watch Yue Fei run rampant here?"

"The overall situation is the most important thing!"

He thought Tang Situi was unwilling to clash with Yue Fei at this time.

As everyone knows...

"Stop shouting, Lord Wang. Why do you think you've all come here tonight, not one missing?"

"It was all thanks to Prime Minister Tang using your list that his entire family was spared."

These words immediately caused an uproar among the twenty-odd people present.

"How can it be!"

"Stop trying to sow discord. We are innocent, how could Prime Minister Tang have implicated us!"

Lord Wang was still being stubborn, while constantly giving Tang Situi meaningful glances, trying to get him to step forward.

Unfortunately, he was destined to flirt with a blind man. No matter what Yue Fei said, Tang Situi pretended not to hear or see it for the sake of his own life and property.

Upon seeing this, Lord Wang felt a chill run down his spine.

"See? I already said that Prime Minister Tang is already in a precarious situation himself. He can't protect you, and he won't stand up for you either."

"He has already prepared an escape route for himself. For you, the only way to survive is to confess honestly."

Yue Fei waved his hand, and the two men behind him immediately stepped forward to record the event.

However, Lord Wang did not look at him, but stared intently at Tang Situi.

"Prime Minister Tang, is it truly as Grand Commandant Yue said, that today's events were caused by you?"

Tang Situi remained silent, leaving him no room for excuses.

After all, among the people present, he was the only one who knew such a detailed list of them!

"You don't really think you can get away with anything you've done, do you?"

Seeing that he did not answer, Lord Wang immediately understood, but could not comprehend it.

Do you really think you're the only smart person in the world? Do you really think no one knows what you're doing?

Your Excellency, Wang Zhiwang and Long Dayuan are not just your men!

"Grand Commandant Yue, there is something that concerns the fate of our Great Song Dynasty. If I speak it, will I be spared?"

Intelligent people make decisions decisively. After thinking things through, he spoke directly and frankly.

"Tell me, if it truly concerns the fate of the Song Dynasty, then saving my life is not out of the question."

Yue Fei nodded in acknowledgment.

"Among us, Tang Situi was the first to contact the Jurchens. I even suspect that he was in cahoots with Qin Hui from the very beginning."

"And among us present, those who are said to be Jurchen spies are actually hedging their bets. Only he, only Tang Situi, is a true Jurchen lackey!"

"Grand Commandant Yue, you probably don't know what he did."

"The border guards' military equipment has been dismantled by his secret order as prime minister, and the Jurchens are fully aware of the troop deployment!"

"If the Jurchens don't seize the opportunity, that's fine. But once they move south, our army will be powerless to fight back!"

Upon seeing this, the people outside the canopy breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Lord Wang was also one of the surrender faction, no one could deny that he had truly made a great contribution at the moment!

Based on this one merit alone, sparing his life, or even forgiving him for his past mistakes if he can repent, would not be too much to ask!

Within the scene, Yue Fei's heart was also filled with turbulent waves.

I thought that after obtaining Tang Situi's list, all that was left tonight was to extract evidence from each of them to convict them.

Unexpectedly, there was such important intelligence!

"Is what you said true?"

As he spoke, Yue Fei stared intently at Tang Situi.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Grand Commandant Yue, he has gone to any lengths to save his life. Anyone with a little common sense can figure out that although the Prime Minister is the head of the civil officials, how can he command a large army with just a secret order without His Majesty's written edict?"

Tang Situi exclaimed in surprise.

But Yue Fei could see the flaw in his eyes.

No wonder, I had a feeling that the old man was hiding something when we were at the Prime Minister's residence!

However, before he could refute, Lord Wang gave a mocking smile.

"Prime Minister Tang, you are being far too modest. Before Grand Commandant Yue arrived in the Song Dynasty, was there anyone you couldn't command?"

"Aside from staunch advocates of war like Yu Yunwen and Zhang Jun, who among the officials of any standing in the court wouldn't give you some face?"

"Moreover, the decision to submit to the Jurchens and pay tribute was made by the retired emperor, and this policy has been maintained for decades. It is only reasonable for them to dismantle their military equipment. In addition, you, the prime minister, are the head of all officials. How could they question it, and how would they dare to question your order?"

Even after those people made inquiries and learned that His Majesty had not issued such an edict, they were already completely on Tang Situi's side and had no chance to back out!

"Then how did you know all this?"

Yue Fei's eyes showed some doubt.

Logically speaking, if those people had become Tang Situi's confidants, whether passively or actively, then no news should have leaked out.

Even if he deliberately sends people to investigate, if they are not thorough enough, they may not be able to find anything if he hires some people and covers it up well.

Lord Wang smiled slightly.

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself."

"It just so happens that the messenger I sent out saw it. At first, I also thought that those people dismantling the military equipment was the Emperor Emeritus's order, but later I realized the connection between Wang Zhiwang, Long Dayuan and others and Prime Minister Tang, and after thinking about it carefully, I understood."

"Although I have no evidence for what I said, Grand Commandant Yue should be able to get the answer whether he sends someone to investigate or arrests and interrogates Wang and Long directly."

"Would this save the lives of the officials and their clansmen?"

When disaster strikes, it's time to scatter!
