"If you continue to mess with us like this, when we execute you later, if one of your hands accidentally shakes and uses too much force on you, then your life will be gone."

The guards intimidated him, and when he heard this, he was already so frightened that Steward Zhu was even more frightened in his heart.

He begged them to wait for him to go to the emperor and see Lord Shang Shuling, but where would they get his wish.

What Gonggong Zhou conveyed was the emperor's orders, they were the emperor's people, so naturally they did not dare to go against the holy will.

Steward Zhu was dragged all the way to the punishment room by them.

…………

In the Condensing Temple, Qi Hanxuan sat on the dragon chair and looked at the four people kneeling in a row below.

Shangguan Haoyu knelt on the ground with a pale face, and as the hours passed little by little, his heart became heavier and heavier.

The hand hanging by his side kept trembling lightly, and now he only hoped that Steward Zhu could be as sincere to him as he had been for so many years, and not tell all his secrets.

Otherwise, he will never recover!

The Shangguan family is also in a catastrophe.

He closed his eyes fiercely, and for the first time, he prayed in his heart for the first time.

And unlike him, Li Yuhan knelt beside him.

Seeing Shangguan Haoyu close his eyes, he only felt very comfortable in his heart.

Just now, he had already explained everything to the emperor, including Shangguan Haoyu's crimes that had been investigated in private with Brother Bai since he joined the company.

Many of them are already known to the emperor, after all, to investigate Shangguan Haoyu, this is what he told the emperor when he went to the imperial study with Brother Bai before, and the emperor knows it.

He directly showed the emperor his hatred for Shangguan Haoyu and his unending life in this life.

Hearing his words, Shangguan Haoyu was furious, but in front of the emperor, how could he endure him.

No matter how he scolded him, he would only be thought by the emperor that he was annoyed and angry because he exposed the crime.

Qi Hanxuan also didn't expect that Li Yuhan hated Shangguan Haoyu so much, and even fought with him endlessly.

Suddenly, the worries he originally had about Li Yuhan in his heart were also reduced.

Shangguan Haoyu doesn't ask for anything now, and he is only infinitely cold and regretful about Li Yuhan now.

He should have known a long time ago that Li Yuhan was a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be fed, no matter how good he was to him, how much glory and wealth he gave him.

He always hated him because of his mother in his bones!

Shangguan Haoyu's heart was full of powerlessness, and now he only hoped that Steward Zhu would not say anything that he shouldn't say.

Even if Steward Zhu couldn't stand the punishment and died and didn't say anything, he was grateful to him in this life, and he would take good care of his family and let them live this life rich and noble.

Without Steward Zhu's confession, the emperor would not be able to do anything to him.

He thought about it when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the hall.

Then came a guard dressed in a squire's suit.

Seeing him come in, Shangguan Haoyu's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes stared at him tightly.

If his guess is correct, he is the one who was sent by the emperor to torture Steward Zhu to extract a confession.

Since the guards entered the temple, they attracted the attention of everyone in the temple.

He walked quickly to the hall, still holding a piece of rice paper in his hand, and knelt down.

"Slaves see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live"

Looking at the paper in his hand, Qi Hanxuan's eyes flashed, and he said lightly, "Get up"
