Chapter 154: Don't mess around
In King Min's Mansion, the eagle guards pushed open the main entrance of Daoguang Pavilion.
The pavilion was filled with smoke, and King Min, dressed in a cyan robe, was sitting cross-legged on a futon, meditating in front of the portrait of Sanqing.
Hearing the door open, he turned around and looked behind him, and saw Xiao Ti striding in.
King Min's face was not good: "What are you doing here?" β
Xiao Ti first looked at the portrait of Sanqing hanging on the wall before speaking.
"Isn't it too late to ask God to worship Buddha now?"
King Min snorted, "This king doesn't understand what you're talking about. β
Xiao Ti said in a deep voice: "The people you sent out last night haven't come back yet. β
King Min was stunned for a moment, but then reacted that the people he sent out were followed by the Eagle Guard!
He laughed angrily: "Ha! No wonder this king can send the message out so easily, it turns out that it was because you deliberately let people release water, it is really worthy of you, this king was tricked by you! β
Xiao Ti had no intention of talking to him more, and asked directly.
"Who are you sending out?"
King Min stood up, stiffened his neck and said, "Why did this king tell you?!" β
Xiao Ti walked slowly in front of him, his voice unhurried, with full oppression.
"If you don't say it, the accusations of the anti-poetry case will fall on you and Shen Xu, and when your father and son become ghosts, don't come to cry out to this king."
King Min clenched the dust tightly and gritted his teeth.
"Don't think that this king doesn't know, you can't find the mastermind behind the anti-poetry case, so you want to use this king as a scapegoat, the emperor won't allow you to do such nonsense!"
Xiao Ti looked at him with sympathetic eyes.
It was as if he was looking at a poor ant.
"Uncle, have you ever thought about why the emperor has never mentioned letting you go free after being locked down for so many days? Without the emperor's acquiescence, no matter how powerful I have, it is impossible to put you under house arrest in the palace. β
King Min's brain seemed to have been beaten hard, and the whole person froze in place, and his brain was buzzing.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
"You, what do you mean, the imperial brother wants me to ......"
The last word "death" can't be said at all.
Xiao Ti did not answer.
His attitude fell in the eyes of King Min, which was equivalent to acquiescence.
King Min only felt that he was out of strength, and he staggered and sat on the futon, his face pale, and his mouth muttered.
"No, Brother Huang won't be like that."
But as he spoke, he couldn't go on.
Because he remembered what the emperor had done in the past few years.
When he was young, the emperor was ambitious, hardworking, and tolerant of his brothers.
But as he grew older, the old emperor's suspicions became more and more serious, and in order to better monitor the civil and military officials, he also specially set up the Department of Justice.
The Department of Rectification and Law is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and can supervise hundreds of officials, and can be cut first and then played.
In the past few years, more and more officials have died in the prisons of the Righteous Law Division, and even some relatives of the emperor have unfortunately suffered.
King Min originally thought that he should be fine, after all, he was just an idle prince, and he had no real power in his hands, he was not a threat to the emperor, and the emperor did not need to bother to deal with him.
didn't expect that he was too naΓ―ve after all.
The more Min Wang thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, his heart was terrified, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.
Xiao Ti looked down on him condescendingly.
"If you want to live, tell me everything you know, as long as you can find the mastermind behind the anti-poetry case, you and Shen Xu can get away with it."
King Min knew in his heart that Xiao Ti had deliberately told him these things in order to force him to confess the truth.
And he had no choice.
He lowered his head dejectedly and said hoarsely: "Okay, this king will tell you." β
It turned out that as early as when Eagle Guard began to investigate the anti-poetry case, someone quietly found King Min and gave him an address.
"That person is a Taoist priest who claims to have a lot of experience in seeking immortality, and wants to share his experience with this king, and this king met him with a half-believing attitude, and after a conversation, this king found that he did have some real talent and learning, and the communication with him became more and more frequent, but one day, he suddenly disappeared, and left a letter before leaving, saying that if this king is in trouble, he can send someone to that address to find him, and he will give this king help."
Xiao Ti asked in a deep voice, "What about the letter?" β
King Min hesitated, but pulled the letter out of his sleeve.
In the letter, the Taoist priest reminded him that he would burn the letter after reading it, so as not to be discovered.
But King Min is not completely brainless, he knows that if he burns the letter, there will really be an incident in the future, even if he tells the truth, no one will believe it.
In order to leave a way out for himself, he finally chose to keep the letter.
Xiao Ti took out the letter paper and quickly read the contents of the letter.
The address mentioned in the letter is the Zhangjia Guest House, which can be seen from the East City Gate and ten miles along the official road.
He asked Yan Nanguan to take people to the Zhangjia guest house immediately.
Yan Nanguan was ordered to leave.
Xiao Ti lowered his eyes and looked at King Min, who was sitting on the futon, and said slowly.
"You have to go back to the Dharma Division with this king."
King Min was terrified: "No! This king is not going to the Dharma Division! β
I heard that the torture methods in the Department of Justice are extremely cruel, but anyone who is imprisoned, regardless of their official rank, has to be stripped of their skin.
He is now a handful of years old, and if he is imprisoned in the Dharma Division, he still doesn't know if he will have the life to come out alive.
Xiao Ti didn't give him a chance to refuse, and directly brought him back to the Dharma Division.
Min Wang was taken to the interrogation room.
He was apprehensive, uneasy, trembling all over, his eyes were constantly looking around, and at the same time he did not forget to threaten inwardly.
"Don't mess around, this king is the emperor's own brother, a serious prince, if you dare to abuse lynching against this king, the official will definitely not let you go."
Xiao Ti looked at him coldly: "Please come over, I just want you to answer a few questions, as long as you cooperate obediently, we will not embarrass you." β
King Min looked at him suspiciously.
Xiao Ti whispered to Meng Xizhou, who was following behind.
"Go and call Yu Yuanyu."
"Whoa."
Meng Xizhou was ordered to leave.
King Min deliberately showed a look of disdain and said sneeringly.
"Did you deliberately bring this king here just so that Yu Yuanyuan could see this king being tortured with his own eyes? Are you avenging your fiancΓ©e? I really didn't expect that the murderous King of Langjun would have such an affectionate side, if this matter spreads, I don't know how many people's big teeth will be laughed off. β
Xiao Ti ignored him.
It didn't take long for Luo Pingsha to lead Yu Yuan in, followed by four painters.
King Min obviously didn't expect so many people to come at once, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Yu Yuanyuan was originally in class, but suddenly received a message from the king of Langjun, saying that she had come to a new job, and asked her to come to the interrogation room immediately.
So she moved the class from the morgue to the interrogation room.
