Liu Jin's kneeling can be described as sudden and inevitable.

Zhu Houzhao lazily leaned on the back of the chair with his legs crossed, holding the Jingdezhen blue and white tribute porcelain tea cup in his hand, as if leisurely gently blowing the hot air, the mist turned the outline of the two into two hazy virtual shadows, the two have a clear past, have a vague future, between them, is it just the mist of tea?

Seeing Zhu Houzhao sipping tea in a deaf ear, Liu Jin's heart sank suddenly, sinking into the bottomless abyss.

Intuition really didn't deceive him, if the saint was still as usual, Zhu Houzhao would not have put on such a demeanor.

Thinking of this, Liu Jin became more and more panicked, and lay his head deep on the ground and didn't dare to move slightly, and the cold sweat the size of beans dripped on the scarlet carpet one by one.

Time passed unconsciously, as if a century had passed, and Liu Jin heard Zhu Houzhao's distant voice like a distant voice from the sky.

"Liu Jin, what big mistake did you make in a moment of confusion?"

Listening to Zhu Houzhao's calm and waveless voice, Liu Jin really cried, and the tears flowed more and more.

He was so frightened that he trembled with fear, and his body and mind were like falling into an ice cellar.

He has been in charge of the ceremonial supervisor for two years, has decided all Chinese and foreign affairs, vigorously implemented the new policy, killed loyal and good ministers in vain in order to block the mouths of the people, and forcibly extorted huge bribes from foreign officials in Beijing, and occupied land under the banner of expanding the imperial village, but most of it became his Liu Jin's private property, not to mention that in the past two years, he has planted wings in the court, the party has fought against differences, and even secretly done several major rebellions......

A person who has almost offended the whole world has only the emperor's favor. If even the favor of the last one is lost, even Liu Jin can't imagine what kind of miserable fate he will have.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The old slave is wrong, the old slave deserves death! The old slave shouldn't have bribed the witness to deliberately frame Qin Kan...... Your Majesty, the old slave didn't dare to hide it today, and he did have a bitter hatred for Qin Kan, so the old slave had a hot brain and did this foolish thing, begging His Majesty to spare the old slave...... Your Majesty, be gracious! Liu Jin was in tears. His face was full of remorse and guilt. and visceral fear.

Zhu Houzhao's heart gradually sank.

"Liu Jin, since you have told the matter, I want you to tell the truth, since it was you who bribed the witness to frame Qin Kan. Then Hua Chang destroyed the door and Zhang Qian was stabbed in two cases. Did you instruct the people below to do it? ”

Liu Jin trembled. His face became more and more pale as paper, and beads of sweat covered his face, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it.

Zhu Houzhao stared at him. It seemed that he wanted to see any subtle expression on the face of this old servant who had been with him for ten years, he had never looked so closely, and he had never realized that the face in front of him was so unfamiliar.

"Old slave...... Old slave ......"

Liu Jin was struggling, from the moment he knelt down and took the initiative to admit his guilt, he knew that these two cases could not be avoided, as long as he admitted to framing Qin Kan, then as the cause of the frame, it must be inseparable from him.

But now, don't you admit it? Xie Si's personal confession in the Golden Palace, and Zheng Yan was taken to prison, under torture, he saw that the confession would fall into Qin Kan's hands, and if he didn't take the initiative to confess his guilt before that, he would really go to a dead end.

Liu Jin wanted to admit it, but was afraid to admit it, her lips spurted for a long time, and she finally lowered her head deeply.

Zhu Houzhao looked at him quietly, as if a solid wall had fallen down in his heart, and his face turned white.

The hall was quiet, Zhu Houzhao looked up at a beam depicted with golden auspicious clouds above the main hall, and his eyes were hollow and stunned.

I don't know how long it took, in Liu Jin's extreme fear and apprehension, Zhu Houzhao spoke quietly.

"Liu Jin, why did I never know Lu Dao before, you are such a ruthless person?"

"Your Majesty's ......"

Liu Jin just opened his mouth and was about to howl, but unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao, who was calm, suddenly broke out, jumped up from the seat, raised his leg and kicked Liu Jin's head hard, Liu Jin only felt a sharp pain on the top of his head, and then a cyan shadow swept by, and the blue and white tea cup slammed on his head, and blood suddenly burst out from the wound, slowly sliding down his forehead, and then, a burst of headless fists and feet fell ruthlessly all over his body.

"Huachang's family is more than 20 people! Zhang Qian is the right deputy of the imperial history! I look down on Qin Kan like a brother, but he was almost killed by you and imprisoned...... Liu Jin, you are so bold! Do you know how much iniquity you have committed? How can I tolerate you! I gave you monstrous power, who gave you the courage to splash the sky? Zhu Houzhao was crazy, and his fist smashed into Liu Jin's body like a storm.

Liu Jin covered his head with both hands, letting Zhu Houzhao's fists and feet fall on him, but he didn't even dare to cry out in pain, gritting his teeth to bear the punishment that should have come a long time ago.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know how long he was beaten, until he felt tired and his hands and feet hurt, so he gasped and stopped his hands, slumped on the chair weakly, and stared at Liu Jin angrily.

Liu Jin saw that Zhu Houzhao had stopped, and quickly got up and knelt in front of him, kowtowing like pounding garlic, regardless of how embarrassed and hideous his face was full of blood.

"The old slave should be beaten, the old slave should die, the old slave is tired of His Majesty, and he also dirty His Majesty's hands, and he deserves death...... "Liu Jin said while constantly slapping himself in the face, the slap did not dare to hide his selfishness, and he slapped him very solidly and hard.

There was a crackling sound of flesh in the hall, and Zhu Houzhao didn't stop it, and looked at Liu Jin's performance coldly.

Liu Jin didn't remember how many times he slapped himself, until his face was swollen and tall, his face was completely numb and unconscious, and two teeth in his mouth were fanned out, and he finally heard Zhu Houzhao say coldly: "Okay, stop it." ”

Liu Jin didn't dare to move.

Zhu Houzhao looked pained, raised his head and sighed: "Liu Jin, you say, what should I do with you?" I am the son of tomorrow, and the people around me have committed such a heinous crime, if I don't kill you, how can I correct the law? ”

Liu Jin trembled, crawled forward on his knees, hugged Zhu Houzhao's thighs and cried: "Your Majesty, the old slave is wrong, the old slave knows that he is wrong!" I beg Your Majesty to be extrajudicial and forgive the old slave this ......"

Zhu Houzhao also shed tears in his eyes, and choked up: "Liu Jin, I have always remembered your goodness, and have always treated you as a family member, when I was seven years old, you and Zhang Yonggu Dayong and others were ordered by my father to enter the East Palace to serve me, I was thirsty for you to serve tea, I was hungry and you sent pastries, I was bored and you changed the way to have fun for me, when I was ten years old, I was naughty, and broke my father's most beloved Huzhou purple wolf, I was afraid of being blamed, saying that you broke it, and you didn't say a word to bear this matter, so that your father blamed you for ten court staffs, and you couldn't get out of bed for a month, The first thing I did when I got well was to find a Persian cat for me......"

Speaking of emotion, Zhu Houzhao also cried loudly, beating Liu Jin with hatred while crying.

"I have never failed you, and you have never failed me, but Liu Jin ...... Why are you not like you used to be? (To be continued......)
