This jade ring was stolen by chance when they were following the housekeeper of the Si Mansion. It had been hidden in Wang Quan's house, and Li Junze also knew about it.

After Yan Nangui heard this, he picked up the jade ring and took a closer look at it in front of the oil lamp. He then nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. There is indeed a word 'Si' in it."

After he finished speaking, he handed the jade ring to Li Junze for inspection.

Yan Nangui asked Wang Quan and Ji Huan to read the confession recorded by the master, and then said to Li Junze, "Your Highness Prince An, do you have anything else to ask? If not, do you think you can sign and seal it?"

After listening to this, Li Junze glared at Wang Quan and Ji Huan again, and then said, "I have nothing else to ask."

Yan Nangui then waved to his advisor and Deputy General Niu, and they brought out pen, ink and ink pad, and asked Wang Quan and the other two to sign and put their fingerprints on the document.

Then he asked Deputy General Niu to take both of them away.

When they were about to be taken away, Uncle Li Shitou finally couldn't hold back any longer, and walked up to them and started punching and kicking them, shouting,

"You bastards, give me back my son, give me back my son..."

Wang Erguai still had some rationality in the end. He did not step forward to attack, but just wiped his tears aside.

Li Shitou was soon stopped by Deputy General Niu and his men, but they had already let him off the hook, allowing Li Shitou to succeed a few times.

Unfortunately, those few beatings he received were nothing compared to the various punishments in prison.

"Lord Yan, after all, they both followed me in the past. If possible, please... leave their bodies intact."

Li Junze acted as if he was heartbroken. His two subordinates betrayed him together, but he still chose to forgive them. What a magnanimous master he is.

"I'm afraid that's not possible," Deputy General Niu turned back at this time, "Ji Huan has lost one of his legs."

When Li Junze heard this, his face immediately turned pale. No wonder Ji Huan hadn't spoken a word just now and his whole state was not right. It turned out that he had lost a leg.

Ji Huan was a man who was most proud of his kung fu. If he did not practice for a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over. What he practiced was the kung fu of the lower body.

Without a leg, all his efforts over the years would be wasted.

The Dali Temple is indeed vicious, actually doing such a thing to Ji Huan.

Yan Nangui also continued, "Your Highness Prince An, you don't know that the confessions they gave today are completely different from their previous confessions. We still need to torture them to get the real confessions, otherwise neither of these two confessions will be credible."

"What? They had a confession before that?" Li Junze asked in astonishment.

"Your Highness, yes, they had already recorded a confession the day after they were handed over to the Dali Temple. It was the day after the assassins tried to kill them, and it has nothing to do with this confession."

Yan Nangui answered calmly.

Li Junze was furious. Although he didn't know how the Dali Temple solved the case, he was very clear that the Dali Temple had a rule that if the previous and subsequent confessions were inconsistent, both confessions could not be trusted.

It is possible that Yan Nangui resorted to such tactics because his previous confession was not credible, which resulted in both confessions being unable to be presented to the emperor.

Yan Nangui is so hateful.

Seeing that Li Junze was silent for a moment, Yan Nangui said considerately, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Although neither of these two confessions can be trusted, we will ask the illusion master to help them and let them tell us which one is the real confession."

"This is also the reason why the Emperor allowed the Dali Temple to cooperate with the Master of Illusion. It is indeed difficult for many people to tell the truth when they are sober, especially when the lives of their parents and family members are in the hands of others. Your Highness, is that right?"

Li Junze didn't want to say anything more to him, but he was already extremely annoyed. He seriously suspected that Yan Nangui and the others had already dug a trap and were waiting for him to jump in.

Then he said that he had to visit his grandfather and left the Dali Temple in a hurry.

Yan Nangui watched his back completely disappear in the Dali Temple cell, and then he took Jian Liangce to the next room, where Li Junhao was drinking tea comfortably.

"Your Highness, that jade ring is undoubtedly from the Si Mansion." Yan Nangui glanced at Jian Liangce and said this after confirming that he was one of his own.

"Well, I know. That's the badge of the housekeeper in my grandfather's house. And what a coincidence, his surname is also Liu." Li Junhao poured tea for both of them and invited them to sit down and drink tea together.

"Your Highness, if this is the case, are you still in the mood to drink tea here?" Yan Nangui was able to keep his composure, but Jian Liangce was not. He asked anxiously.

If His Highness had not told him not to speak during the interrogation, he would have wanted to shout out.

"Don't be anxious, Master Jian," Li Junhao said to comfort him, looking at him and saying, "You are just too anxious, otherwise you wouldn't have caused such a big trouble just one year after taking office."

Jian Liangce immediately shut up and sat quietly on Li Junhao's left.

He was indeed a little too hasty. He knew it very well, but the chaos in Suzhou's officialdom could not be rectified without his drastic measures.

At the same time, he also offended a lot of people, and many of these people were Li Junze's people, and they were also a key link in his interest chain. That's why the other party would use himself as a breakthrough point and try to frame His Highness to achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

"My grandfather is a very cautious man. He will not let the other party get hold of such a handle, so you can rest assured." Li Junhao said to them with a smile.

"I have heard from people that the Minister of Personnel Simao De was a fox that had practiced for a thousand years. I think this is not groundless." Yan Nangui said with a smile.

This sentence was widely circulated in the officialdom of the capital, and many people had heard it. However, Yan Nangui was the first one who could say it directly in front of Li Junhao.

Li Junhao was not angry, but said, "I forgive you this time."

Yan Nangui immediately suppressed the little smile he had managed to show. He forgave him this time, but he wouldn't do that again if he said it again.

The relaxed atmosphere between the three of them immediately disappeared, and Li Junhao continued, "They actually want to involve my grandfather as well. This is absolutely not allowed."

Yan Nangui immediately cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I know what to do next, but I hope Your Highness will let me know."

Li Junhao took a sip of the tea and said without hesitation, "Master Yan, please handle the case impartially and give the truth to the world."
