After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Outside the cell, Master Hu walked back and forth in the corridor with his hands behind his back, feeling very anxious.

"You won't let me go in, you'll have to ask me to wait."

Master Hu paused and frowned worriedly.

"Does he know how to interrogate a criminal? What if he gets caught? Should I give Haizhu some drugs to make him less clear-headed?"

"But then his confession would be of no use."

"Oh! What a headache!"

"I'll go in and take a look!"

Master Hu was worried and rushed inside, but when he reached the cell door, he remembered the man's instructions and gritted his teeth and took a few steps back.

So back and forth.

Finally, Master Hu made up his mind and said he wanted to sit in on the trial!

At this moment, he felt a chill in his face, and it turned out that the man had come out of the cell.

Master Hu had walked along this long corridor countless times and even knew by heart how many cracks there were on the walls.

However, for some reason, he felt unfamiliar with this corridor for the first time, as if it were a ghost road.

The man looked like a ghost from the underworld that had broken into the world of the living, causing all the hairs on his body to stand up.

"You can go see him now."

The man's low and hoarse voice sounded like the sound of a broken bellows.

Master Hu suddenly realized that this man's throat might be damaged. No wonder he seemed to speak differently from ordinary people along the way.

"So fast?"

Master Hu was a little surprised.

The man pulled the brim of his cloak and walked into the endless night.

Master Hu stared blankly at his receding figure, inexplicably dazed.

When he came to his senses, he ran after him in horror: "Hey - your reward -"

When he ran out of the Ministry of Justice breathlessly, where was the man and the horse on the street?

Master Hu shuddered and touched his arms with both hands: "I really feel like I have seen a ghost. Where did the Shangshu find this person? It's too weird!"

Master Hu went to Haizhu's cell.

Haizhu said that he wanted to see Minister Xing.

"It's the middle of the night, and you really know how to find work for me!"

Master Hu left cursing.

When Minister Xing heard that it was Haizhu who wanted to see him, he got on the carriage to the Ministry of Justice without saying a word.

"Where is Qian Fugui?"

Minister Xing asked.

"Qian, Qian Fugui? Who is that?"

Master Hu was a little confused.

Minister Xing asked, "Didn't you pick him up?"

Master Hu said with relief, "Ah, the fake Shen Monkey you mentioned has been picked up, but he's already gone."

Minister Xing wondered, "Gone?"

Master Hu said, "Yes, he went to see Haizhu, and then left. He left in such a hurry that he forgot to take his reward. Is he really a street performer? Why does he look a bit creepy to me?"

Minister Xing seemed to be thinking about something.

During the conversation, the carriage arrived at the Ministry of Justice.

Minister Xing went to see Haizhu.

Haizhu confessed to his crimes - it was he who poisoned the Grand Marshal of Chu, and it was he who forged the transfer order of the Grand Marshal of Chu and sent away all the remaining twelve guards of the Chu Palace.

Minister Xing: "Which ones?"

Pig: "Except Rooster and Tiger who went to Beiliang, the remaining ones, including me, total ten people."

Master Hu was writing furiously at the desk in the corner, taking down the complete transcript.

Minister Xing continued, "Did you also set the fire in the Prince of Chu's mansion?"

Haizhu said: "No, this is all I did."

Minister Xing stared into Haizhu's eyes without blinking: "So, you didn't kill the Chu family members?"

Haizhu confessed: "I did not participate in the subsequent actions. I was only responsible for poisoning Marshal Chu and transferring the Twelve Guards."

Minister Xing asked again: "How did you poison him?"

Haizhu said: "I put poison in the well water. It would be easy to be discovered if I tampered with the wine and food. Besides, it might not have entered Marshal Chu's stomach. In order to ensure that he was poisoned, I had to poison everyone."

Master Hu's pen is almost smoking from writing.

Minister Xing: "What kind of poison was used?"

Pig: "A kind of poison from the Western Regions, colorless and tasteless, ineffective for ordinary people, but can cause martial artists to lose their power overnight. The more they force themselves to practice martial arts, the more the poison will enter their internal organs, and eventually they will bleed from all seven orifices and die."

Master Hu swished!

Oh my god! That's a lot of confessions!

Minister Xing: "What do you think of the fact that Madam Chu is the murderer?"

Hai Zhu: "She was also poisoned. She couldn't possibly kill anyone. She was framed. As for who framed her, I don't know."

Minister Xing: "So she wasn't the one who started the fire?"

Haizhu's expression paused, as if he had hesitated for a moment, and then he shook his head: "Why would she set the fire?"

Minister Xing said sternly, "But I can't understand why your accomplice would set the fire. Do you really not know him?"

Haizhu said: "I don't know. I just do my job and I don't know anything else."

Minister Xing caught the key point in his words: "This is your job. So you were instructed by someone. Tell me who instructed you."

The corner of Haizhu's mouth twitched.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, this Minister of Justice is indeed quite capable.

"The late former prince."

Pig Road.

Minister Xing's expression did not change at all. Haizhu didn't know whether he had already guessed this or his emotions were incredibly stable.

The Pig thought of the Snake, and the Snake is such a person.

Minister Xing asked, "Why did the prince plot to murder the Chu family?"

Haizhu confessed: "The King of Chu is the son of the retired emperor. After the Crown Prince learned of his background, he was worried that the King of Chu would compete with him for the throne, so he bribed me and became part of the plan to wipe out the King of Chu's mansion."

Master Hu's pen made a rustling sound, leaving a long scratch on the table.

Oh my god, the melon is so big!

Minister Xing looked normal.

Now Haizhu can conclude that he possesses an extremely terrifying will.

I thought that next, Minister Xing would ask me step by step about the motives and details of my collusion with the former crown prince.

Unexpectedly, Minister Xing did not ask about the case any more, "Hai Zhu, you should understand that your crime is unforgivable, right? Even if you are not the mastermind, your crime is enough to get you killed."

Haizhu said calmly: "From the moment I was bribed by the prince, I knew that my judgment would come sooner or later."

Minister Xing asked, "If I give you a chance to redeem yourself, will you take it?"

"Atoning for my sins?" Haizhu laughed, "It's just a worthless life, do you think I'm afraid of death?"

Minister Xing leaned forward and said, "I know you are not afraid of death, and I am not trying to give you a chance to live. I am giving you a choice - kneel under the guillotine as a death row prisoner, or die like a hero?"

The Pig was stunned.

……

"The Prince's Mansion once had an inconspicuous retainer named Luo San, nicknamed the Third Hunchback. It was he who revealed the life story of the King of Chu to the Prince, and it was he who instigated the Prince to deal with the Chu family. He was the one who gave the Prince advice and bribed the assassins... all of which came from his hands."

"If you find him, you can make him identify the real mastermind behind the murder—Prime Minister Xun."
