Chapter 251: Interrogating in the Prison

When Princess Diaotang heard Zhuo Er Beizan's request, a hint of surprise flashed on her face. She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then asked, "I can still understand Geleg Karma's question, but what did you do if you asked General Shang Jieyunzan to cooperate with you?" ”

Zhuoer Beizan exclaimed in a respectful tone: "General Shang Jieyunzan, like the light of the Tubo Kingdom, is the military pinnacle of our country, commanding thousands of troops and horses. Who better to appease the disciples of the Shadow Sect who had fled outside? His prestige and wisdom are the best calling. ”

Princess Diaotang said lightly: "Okay, I will personally order him and let him work with you to handle this case." ”

Zhuo Er Beizan's face was full of gratitude, and he said to the Queen Mother: "Thank you for your help, Queen Mother!" ”

Princess Diaotang's eyes flashed with determination, and she asked Zhuo Erbeizan, "How long do you estimate it will take to conclude this case?" ”

Zhuo Er Beizan's eyes were full of confidence, and he replied: "At most half a month, Your Royal Highness Princess, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." ”

Princess Diaotang nodded, expressing her trust and support for Zhuoer Beizan. Then she suggested to Tai Hao: "Tai Hao, while we wait for my father's order, it is better to move Xuan Bao's body to the underground palace of the royal palace, which is the best place to preserve the body and ensure that the body will not decompose." ”

Tai Hao bowed slightly, expressing his agreement with Princess Diaotang's proposal. He responded: "It's okay, I'll arrange this when I go back next time." ”

Nima Sanji said worriedly: "Queen Mother, there is one more thing that gives me a headache now, that is, how to deal with those Tibetan officials who colluded with the disciples of the Crazy Shadow Sect? ”

Princess Diaotang's voice was as soft as silk, and she asked tactfully, "According to the laws of the Tubo Kingdom, how should this matter be handled?" ”

Nima Sanji's voice was low and firm, and he replied solemnly: "According to the laws of our Tibetan kingdom, they will be deprived of their official positions and their status will be reduced to the realm of serfs. ”

Zuren Xide's voice was calm and firm, and he said thoughtfully: "I have doubts about this, the disciples of the Crazy Shadow Sect are colluding with many officials, if they are all dismissed and investigated according to the laws of the Tubo Kingdom, it will definitely lead to the complete collapse of the Tubo official system. ”

Princess Diaotang nodded slightly, and she sighed softly: "This is what I am deeply worried about. ”

Drow Beizan's voice was firm and confident, and he said solemnly: "I have a different opinion on this. We in Tibet have many talented people, and it may not be a bad thing to carry out a complete replacement of lower-level officials. This can better demonstrate the majesty and authority of our Tibetan imperial power. ”

There was a hint of worry in Zuren Xide's voice, and he said thoughtfully, "The idea of the Great Minister of Zhuo is perhaps too simplistic. If we do this, we in Tibet will probably cause a catastrophe. ”

Tai Hao's voice was gentle but firm, and he interjected, "As a foreign minister, I also hope to express some of my own opinions on this matter. The reason why those Tibetan officials colluded with the disciples of the Crazy Shadow Sect was mainly because they feared for their lives. However, they never slackened in their dealings with the people of the city. Therefore, I propose that a proclamation be issued for those officials to confess their crimes to the Imperial Court, and to tell them that the present Zamp is merciful and tolerant, and that they are not guilty of the mistakes they have committed, and that they need only be given a warning. ”

Princess Diaotang pondered for a moment, and a glimmer of wisdom flashed in her eyes. She spoke slowly: "I quite agree with your proposal, which can not only give a strong deterrent to those officials who dare to collude with the Crazy Shadow Gate, but also ensure the stability of the Tibetan officialdom. ”

Several other officials nodded in agreement, their eyes flashing with reverence and trust for the princess. At this moment, Princess Diaotang shows her majesty and wisdom as a ruler, and her every decision is full of thoughtfulness and wisdom to weigh the pros and cons.

As she declared the proceedings over, a solemn and solemn atmosphere permeated the hall. Everyone present felt the weight of a responsibility, and they understood that they were shouldering the heavy responsibility of maintaining the stability of the country and the well-being of the people.

So, the officials got up one after another and respectfully saluted and said goodbye to Princess Diaotang. When they left the temple, their hearts were filled with passion and determination. They will take pride in their duty and do their best to fulfill their mission.

Princess Diaotang watched them leave, with a gleam of relief in her eyes. She knew that these officials would be her right-hand men in governing the country, and that their loyalty and talents would bring prosperity and peace to Tibet.

On that day, Tai Hao instructed his subordinates to place the body of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the solemn and mysterious underground palace of the palace. It is a safe and secret place to ensure that the remains of Prince Xuanbao are properly preserved, not eroded by the cruelty of time, and not defeated by the fate of decay.

After all this was done, Taihao turned and left, his steps looking tired and heavy. He returned to Niandong Hall and remembered everything that had happened on the way from Thousand Winds City to Luo Qi City with Prince Xuanbao. Tai Hao sat in front of the desk that Prince Xuanbao once used, covering his face with his hands, tears sliding down his fingertips. He still couldn't believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had left this world. What he had been fearing finally happened, and his heart was full of pain and self-blame.

He didn't know how to face this cruel reality, let alone how to explain all this to the emperor after returning to Thousand Winds City. His heart was filled with confusion and helplessness, as if he had fallen into deep darkness.

At dawn the next day, just as the light of dawn had just spread across the land, Drow Beizan sent his right-hand men to invite Taihao to the prison in the city of Rakhe. There are the disciples of the Shadow Gate, whose fate is about to be judged in a solemn and just manner.

After Taihao received the invitation, a firm determination surged in his heart. He knew that this was his duty and mission as an envoy of the Eastern Empire, and he would use the sword of justice as a weapon to bring justice to those victims.

When Taihao stepped into the prison, an oppressive and heavy atmosphere filled the air. The cells were dimly lit and the walls were damp, as if carrying countless stories of pain and despair.

In the dark and tense interrogation cell, Zhuo Erbeizan stood quietly, his eyes deep and determined, like a beast ready to attack. This official, who is known for his harshness, is waiting for the arrival of Taihao, an official who also possesses incomparable majesty and justice.

When Tai Hao walked into the interrogation room, his gaze immediately met that of Zhuo Er Beizan. There is a wordless tacit understanding and respect between them. It was a deep tribute to each other, both respect for each other and respect for duty.

They all had serious and calm expressions on their faces, indicating that the upcoming interrogation would not be easy. Zhuo Erbeizan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, like an invisible sword, piercing the air, revealing his deep jealousy and anger towards the disciples of the Crazy Shadow Sect. Tai Hao's face was as calm as water, and his deep eyes were full of calmness and reason, which seemed to indicate that he had absolute certainty about the upcoming interrogation.

At this moment, they stand side by side, like two high mountains, overlooking everything in the world. Their presence is like a light in the night, guiding the way for those who are lost in the darkness. And those disciples of the Crazy Shadow Sect are about to reveal the secrets hidden in the darkness under their interrogation.

Zhuo Erbeizan's voice was low and powerful, and he said, "On my return last night, I asked the scholar Xia Yan Banma to write several notices to warn those disciples of the Madness Shadow Sect who have not yet returned to the case, urging them to leave the Madness Shadow Gate on their own. After we have completed the trial of these disciples of the Shadow Sect in prison, we will post the notice to the world. At the same time, I implore General Shang Jieyun to dispatch and hunt down those high-ranking disciples of the Mad Shadow Sect. ”

Tai Hao's words were gentle, and he said: "If you are thoughtful, you will be able to close this case quickly." ”

Drow Beizan's voice was like a gust of fresh wind, gently blowing through the air, and he said, "So, let's get started. First of all, let's interrogate Diao Ce, the master of the Black Wing Hall. ”

Tai Hao bowed his head slightly, and said, "May everything be according to the order of the great minister!" ”

Zhuoer Beizan summoned Jimu Dorjee to come and commanded: "O Dorjee, you will bring Diao Ce here!" ”

Jimu Dorjee replied respectfully: "Yes! ”

A short time later, Jimu Dorjee took Diao Ce to the interrogation cell. As soon as Jimu Dorjee entered, he fell to his knees with a "plop". shouted loudly: "Two adults, I am wronged, all this is done by Shuai Tai." His voice was full of pain and helplessness, like a lone wolf wailing in the cold night.

Tai Hao sat in front of the interrogation table, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he said: "Which thing do you mean was done by Shuai Tai, whether it was the killing of the chief of the matter, Tsering Bianba, or the killing of Xuanbao, the crown prince of my Eastern Empire, or the killing of my subordinate Xingjing?" What do you say you are wronged? His voice was like a sharp sword, piercing Jimu Dorjee's defense.

When Diao Ce heard this, he still refuted slyly: "I have never been involved in these things, and Lord Taihao should be able to understand the truth." ”

Zhuo Erbeizan's eyes widened angrily, and he reprimanded: "Diao Ce! As the hall master of the Black Wing Hall of the Shadow Gate, even if it is not your doing, you will not be able to escape the blame. As the leader of the Black Wing Hall, all responsibilities are yours. ”

Diao Ce lamented: "I didn't take action myself, let alone instruct my subordinates to act, everything was their own decision, and I couldn't control it." ”

Zhuo Erbeizan sneered: "The matter has come to this, you can no longer control your own fate. If you want to live, you must expose all the crimes you have committed. Otherwise, get ready for death! ”

Diao Ce's eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible fear, and he asked in a trembling voice, "You guys, what are you going to do with me?" ”

Zhuo Er Beizan replied expressionlessly: "Ling Chi is executed, and a thousand knives are cut!" ”

Diao Ce smiled bitterly: "No matter what, I will not escape death after all." Even if you don't kill me, the other disciples of the Mad Shadow Sect will assassinate me, because I have betrayed the sect and broken the rules of the sect. ”

Zhuo Erbeizan asked suspiciously, "You are locked up in this prison, and who can assassinate you?" ”

Diao Ce's eyes revealed a trace of vicissitudes and helplessness, he sighed softly, and said, "You haven't seen the power of the Crazy Shadow Gate yet. ”
