Lan Jia first sent troops to surround Zhong Sheng's 30,000 garrisons, but only surrounded them, cutting off the food and grass for the garrisons, and then sent cronies to the garrison to fight and spread the news that Zhong Sheng was privately deploying troops, without a holy metaphor, and committed the crime of defrauding the king.

All of a sudden, the people in Zhong Sheng's garrison were panicked, the morale of the army was discouraged, and even deserters appeared.

The bad luck of these deserters was caught, and the lucky ones who escaped were also caught by Lan Jia, and after being tortured, they recruited everything.

However, these deserters were all small soldiers, and the weight of the evidence was still weak, so Lan Jia secretly arranged for his cronies sent to the garrison to find a way to rebel against the deputy general.

Zhong Sheng's garrison was originally transferred directly from the nearest military camp, and naturally he did not prepare any grain and grass; once he was cut off from food, after being hungry for two days, and with the gossip, he was about to lose his weight, not to mention the soldiers, and the lieutenant generals were all a little shaken one by one.

On the second day, after dark, the deputy general Tian Geng led a team of men and horses out of the barracks secretly, and after being discovered by Zhong Sheng, the two accused each other, which made the already wavering soldiers even more centrifuged.

"General, the last general has made up his mind, either let me go, or ask the general to kill me", the deputy general unsheathed his sword and stood in front of Zhong Sheng, without fear.

Zhong Sheng had no choice but to let him go, and at the same time, many soldiers followed.

When Lan Jia heard the news, he immediately sent someone to pick up the deputy general Tian Geng, prepared a banquet, and after some words of consolation, he took out the secret decree of Xiao Ji and told Tian Geng that this was his only chance to make meritorious contributions for one generation of crimes.

Tian Geng was grateful to Lanjia and accepted his proposal, provided evidence that Zhong Sheng had transferred troops privately under the false legend of the holy allegory, and was willing to lead the troops back to the garrison to arrest Zhong Sheng.

Early in the morning, Lan Jia sent a letter to Zhong Sheng urging him to confess his sins and be punished, in which he was clearly given four hours, and if he could not leave the camp alone at sunset, he would be killed and stationed in the camp.

When Zhong Sheng received the letter, he had already expected his end, and now he was in the abyss of despair, thinking of Zhong Taishi, as well as Concubine Li and the childish Xiaosui, as well as his sister Zhong Ling, he felt guilty, and hated to die to apologize, but he also clearly realized that this matter must be borne by someone, hoping that the emperor could be magnificent, and bear all the blame with his own strength, not to implicate his father and sister, as well as the Zhong family, as for Sui'er, the sins he created are really too much to owe.

At sunset, Zhong Sheng left the barracks alone.

Lan Jia had been leading the troops to wait for a long time, and when he saw Zhong Sheng coming out, two small teams of men and horses passed.

"General Zhong, offended".

"Hmm...", Zhong Sheng seemed to look at Lan Jia, but his eyes were focused on the distance.

Lan Jia respected Zhong Sheng as a man, freed him from the shackles, and arched his hand: "General Zhong, please."

Zhong Sheng held his head high and stepped forward with heavy steps.

After dark, Lan Jia brought Zhong Sheng to meet Xiaoji.

When Xiaoji saw Zhong Sheng, he almost didn't chop him off on the spot, and someone immediately pulled him down, beat him with a hundred military sticks first, and put him on death row.

Lan Jia waited for Xiao Ji's anger to subside a little, and then handed over the evidence that Zhong Sheng had transferred troops privately, as well as a confession from Zhong Sheng pleading guilty to all the crimes, in which he said that everything was his own proposition and had nothing to do with anyone, and begged Xiao Ji Long En to be lenient and treat others lightly.

Three days later, in the early court, Xiao Ji passed Zhong Sheng to the palace with a flail, confessed his crime, and immediately ordered him to be executed.

When Xiaoji heard the popularity, he sent a few intercession Taishi party on the spot, which shocked the scene, but there are still those who are not afraid of death, and they are admonished.

Xiao Ji was helpless, and asked Mr. Li to issue evidence of Zhong Sheng's fornication and disorder in the harem, and the party suddenly boiled, and the discussion was endless.

Xiaoji looked at Zhong Sheng who was kneeling at his feet, his face was flushed with anger, and he decreed that if there was a pleager, he would be guilty of the same crime, and ordered Zhong Sheng to parade through the streets to show the public, and the body was abandoned in the mass grave and not to be restrained.

When Taishi Zhong heard this, he fainted on the spot and fell on top of the court.

In a fit of anger, Xiao Ji also listed the evidence of the Taishi Party's corruption, perversion of the law, favoritism, and adultery collected before, and issued an order on the spot to send down dozens of officials of the Taishi Party to revitalize the dynasty.

Soon, the news from the court spread throughout the entire Xiaojing City, and for a while, the streets and alleys were talking, and as soon as the prisoner car of Zhong Sheng and others came out, they were surrounded by three layers inside and outside. The people who had been bullied and oppressed by the Taishi Party all rushed to beat each other, and the scene was out of control for a while.

Zhong Taishi was poisoned for a while and fell ill.

Concubine Zhong was ordered to be confined and confined to her, and after learning of this, she cried to death and fainted several times. The eldest prince Xiao Xi, the third prince Xiao Xuan and the tenth princess Xiao Ran also knelt in the Summer Palace all the time, pleading for the mother concubine, but they were all rejected by Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji rewarded Concubine Li with a whole corpse, gave them mother and son and a cup of poison, and asked Manager Li to do it.

Manager Li was very unbearable after receiving the holy metaphor, not to Concubine Li, but to the eleventh prince.

Manager Li saw that Xiao Ji was angry at this time, and he probably couldn't listen to what he said, so he had to delay and send someone to invite Master Ran.

When Master Ran received the letter, he sighed and shook his head, and immediately asked for a discussion with him.

Yan Li and Yan Ziyue were shocked by the scene of Ling Chi Zhongsheng on the street today, and they were still immersed in gloom at this time, and when they saw Master Ran coming over and saying that Xiao Ji was going to kill Xiao Sui, their hearts were even more cold.

"For the sake of today's plan, unless it is confirmed that Xiao Sui is the son of His Majesty, there is no hope," said after thinking for a while.

"How can this be proven"? Master Ran looked at Yu Li and asked.

"This... If there is any evidence, I'm afraid the emperor won't believe it", Zhan Li felt that someone as arbitrary as Xiaoji would not easily believe it.

Yan Ziyue was listening on the sidelines, also thinking about what credible way to prove it, and remembered the blood test mentioned by Bu Ziyan, so she proposed: "If you can test your relatives by dropping blood, is it possible to make the emperor believe it."

After hearing this, his eyes lit up and he looked at Yan Ziyue together.

"But... Even if the Emperor is persuaded to agree to use a blood test to verify the identity of the eleventh prince, there is no guarantee that the result will be satisfactory.

"Exactly...", Master Ran nodded.

"I have a way to confirm that the Eleventh Prince, Xiao Sui, is the bloodline of the Emperor Xiao no matter how I test it, but...", Yan Ziyue said.

"But what...", Yu Li asked with Master Ran.

"However, how to make the Emperor believe it, it should be said that it is how to make the Emperor admit it, it is best to be in front of everyone."

After hearing this, Master Zhan Li and Master Ran looked at each other, and both of them had a plan in their hearts.

"Yue'er... You just tell us the method, and we'll do the rest", Yan Li looked at Yan Ziyue and said.

"Okay...", Yan Ziyue walked into the house, wrote down the method, handed it to Master Yan Li and Zhiran, and added: "It's best to find a doctor or something to test it first to make sure it happens."

Master Ran hurriedly came to the Summer Palace, and heard that Mr. Li had taken the poisoned wine to Yunqiongyuan, so he asked Yifu to rush to inform him.

Seeing that Master Ran was here, Xiao Ji's mood calmed down a little.

"How did the master come"? Xiao Ji was both happy and curious about the arrival of Master Zhiran.

"Come for compassion, come for moderation," he said with a smile.

"Master, why do you say this?"

"The words of the poor monk, I wonder if Your Majesty has listened to one or two"?

"Master, your words have always been taken seriously."

"Then Your Majesty remembers that the poor monk said that the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, and once they make a mistake, they will regret it for life."

"Master, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up"?

"Your Majesty has really verified the eleventh prince"?

Xiao Ji looked at Master Ran with narrowed eyes, thinking that although the matter of Zhong Sheng and Concubine Li may have been known, but the matter of Xiao Sui has never been humane to outsiders, how could Master Ran know?

"The master is a person who has attained enlightenment, why is he interested in my royal world"? When Xiao Ji said this, his expression was clearly suspicious.

"Just because the poor monk has the grace of His Majesty, he does not feel or repay, the poor monk does not pay attention to the royal world, the poor monk just thinks about it from his heart, and thinks for His Majesty."

Xiao Ji could hear Master Ran's words, and he let go of his obsession a little.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you are a poor monk and an innocent child, not to mention your Majesty's blood and bones."

"Master, how do you think that it must be Lone's bones and blood?"

"The poor monk can't be sure, but how can Your Majesty think that it must not be? If your majesty is your blood and bones, how can you be safe"?

When Xiaoji heard this, he suddenly woke up, and then he realized that he was anxious for a while, if Sui'er was really Lone's flesh and blood, wouldn't Lone kill his own child.

"Someone...".

"In...", a eunuch stepped forward to listen to the command.

"Go quickly, Yun Qiongyuan, spread the word of solitude, stop the matter of giving death for the time being, and let Manager Li come back quickly."

After listening to the little eunuch, he withdrew and ran away.

Master Ran looked at it with a slight smile and nodded: "Your Majesty is benevolent, it should be the blessing of all people."

"Master, how did you know about this?" Xiao Ji turned to look at Master Ran, feeling more and more that all this was due to another force secretly guiding, and now he wanted to know who was behind all this.

Master Ran knew that Xiao Ji would not give up if he didn't understand, but he couldn't say it clearly for a while, so he had to make a delay: "Your Majesty, in three days, it will be the blessing ceremony, and before the ceremony, the poor monk will definitely solve all the doubts for Your Majesty."

"Master, is this not the time?"

"The Buddha has not arrived, and I can't help it", Master Ran knew that he insisted, Xiao Ji would not do anything to himself, and then discuss countermeasures with Su Taifu and Zhan Li after he went back.

"The poor monk said goodbye first", and the master retreated first without waiting for Xiaoji to say anything.

After Master Ran left the Summer Palace, he deliberately stayed to wait for the return of Chief Manager Li.

When Mr. Li saw that it was Master Ran, he greeted him, and when he bowed, he was held by Master Ran, and took the note from Master Ran at the bottom of his sleeve, and quickly put it in his sleeve.

The two looked at each other and nodded and smiled, and left separately.

Manager Li broke away from everyone, found an opportunity to open the note, and after catching a glimpse of the content on it, he calmed down and stepped into Xiaoji's study.
