After these two days of interrogation, the matter of the sneak attack on the camp has been basically investigated. Mei Xichen also decided to return to Beijing immediately, and repeatedly told General Wang to guard the camp and not underestimate the enemy again.

Mei Xichen also wrote a letter to the prince of Wu'an County. The general meaning of the letter is that the matter has been investigated clearly and has nothing to do with your country, so the matter is over here. He hopes that the two countries can continue to be friendly neighbors.

Xu Mo put the people involved in the case into a cage. As Mei Xichen's team slowly advanced, King Kang already knew that he had been exposed. It would be useless to kill people and silence them, so he quickly found Tu Su to discuss countermeasures. .

"Master, now that the matter has been exposed, I'm afraid the palace will not be protected?" King Kang shook his head with concern.

"I expected this, but there is always a turning point." Tusu said calmly with his eyebrows drooping.

"Does the mage have any other countermeasures?" King Kang looked at Tusu anxiously, hoping that he would help him get out of the siege.

"Well, instead of running away, why don't we try to steal something..." Tusu responded softly in King Kang's ear with his eyes slightly raised and his chest confident.

"Okay, just do what the Master said." King Kang twirled his beard and laughed, as if Tusu's strategy could help him get out of danger.

Mei Xichen's entourage went well on their way back to Kyoto City. Such smoothness made Mei Xichen a little uneasy.

"Xu Mo, why didn't King Kang send someone to intercept and kill us when we returned to Kyoto this time?" Mei Xichen looked at Xu Mo curiously.

"The prince doesn't know, so how can I know. But maybe Prince Kang is thinking of how to escape now." Xu Mo blinked and thought for a long time to come up with this reason.

"I have a vague feeling that there is something going on here, but I don't know what it is." Mei Xichen frowned and thought for a while.

"Your Majesty, maybe you are worrying too much. In any case, the witnesses and physical evidence are in our hands, and Prince Kang cannot push them away even if he wants to."

"How long do we have until we reach Kyoto City?" Mei Xichen looked at the sky outside. The scorching sun at noon was extremely hot, and he wanted the team to stop and take a rest.

"Your Majesty, according to our speed, we can arrive later today." Xu Mo looked at the sky, turned to Mei Xichen and said.

"Okay, since the weather is so hot, let's take a rest first and then we'll be on our way." Mei Xichen said, pulling down the sedan curtain, lying on the bed and falling asleep.

When he woke up again, the motorcade had entered Kyoto City. Maybe he was too tired. Mei Xichen was unaware of the bumps along the way. He had just passed the carriage and arrived at the gate of the palace at Xu Mo. With the help of Xu Mo, Mei Xichen got off the carriage and walked into his own courtyard.

Xu Mo then sent a group of people to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and imprisoned them.

Mei Xichen lay on the bed and did not fall asleep. Instead, he was thinking about how to defeat King Kang when he went to court tomorrow. He had to make some preparations for this.

The next morning, just as Mei Xichen was about to have breakfast, Shen Tingyu hurriedly came to Mei Xichen.

"Your Majesty, we found it." Shen Tingyu's joy was beyond words.

"Really? Come on, tell me." Mei Xichen put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at Shen Tingyu intently.

"Your Majesty, it turns out that Jinba was imprisoned for embezzling military rations, and was imprisoned after being reported. And these rations ended up in the hands of King Kang, which means that Jinba was just a passing god of wealth."

"Is there any evidence?" Mei Xichen asked again.

"Yes, I went to check the file secretly the night before and saw Jinba's confession at that time. However, that piece of paper was not in the closed file, which means that Jinba's confession was artificially withheld. Then Zhang’s confession should have been put back into the file after the trial.”

"If it's not what I expected, the presiding judge handling this case at that time was Huo Yan, the minister of Dali Temple, then it is very likely that he was instructed by King Kang to hide the evidence in this case and deal with it lightly. Maybe someone was secretly dissatisfied and put Jin Ba’s important confession was secretly put back into the file, hoping that one day it would be revealed to the world.”

Shen Tingyu was very confident in his reasoning and judgment, and there was a look of pride in his eyes as he spoke.

"I think you are right. So when I go to court today, I will point out the evidence of Prince Kang's crimes one by one and see what else he has to say." Mei Xichen said excitedly.

"It's getting late, I'll go first." Mei Xichen took the evidence Shen Tingyu collected for him and got up and walked towards the palace.

The court today is unusually quiet. In fact, these ministers are not fools. Although the details are not very clear, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that Mei Xichen and King Kang will definitely have a fight between two tigers in the court today. hurt.

King Kang's performance today was a bit calm, which he had never done before in the court for so many years. Mei Xichen unceremoniously pointed out all the evidence of King Kang's crimes in the hall. Unexpectedly, King Kang did not refute vigorously. But he smiled calmly. This made Mei Xichen extremely surprised.

The emperor was not surprised when he heard Mei Xichen's testimony, because the emperor knew it well. He just wanted to use Mei Xichen's hand to eradicate this King Kang who had been domineering in the court, but However, there is always no evidence. The opportunity finally comes, why not take advantage of it?

"Prince Kang, is what Prince Mei said true?" The emperor looked at Prince Kang and said sternly.

"It's a fact. I plead guilty." King Kang nodded and agreed expressionlessly.

"Then are you willing to accept the punishment?" the emperor asked again.

"Old minister, I am willing." King Kang bowed but remained expressionless.

"Well, take Prince Kang to the prison and wait for interrogation." The emperor said again.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing I have not explained." Mei Xichen said quickly.

"Okay, you say." The emperor agreed.

So Mei Xichen told the emperor everything about the collusion between Huo Yan, the minister of Dali Temple, and King Kang.

"Oh, and this matter, it is simply unreasonable." The emperor stood up with an angry look on his face.

At this time, Huo Yan, who was standing below, was so frightened that he fell to his knees and begged for his life.

"Take Huo Yan down with me for interrogation."

The ministers below began to discuss, who should be judged better? There were whispers below. In short, no one wanted to wade into this muddy water.

The emperor saw this and said loudly. "As for the person who will be the chief judge, I will think about it carefully and withdraw from the court."

So all the ministers withdrew one after another. Mei Xichen finally had a small victory in this battle so far, but he didn't know who would try the case next, or would he collude with King Kang again? And King Kang's behavior in the court today is really unpredictable.

With many questions, Mei Xichen walked out of the palace.

In any case, it is impossible for King Kang to overturn the verdict, and he can be regarded as having won the final victory in the fight against him.
