The female general was reborn in the enemy's house? They all die!
Chapter 109 Thunder Sound
Du Sheng spoke excitedly, raising his head slightly, his eyes glancing at General Xia's calm expression, as if he had some idea of what was going on.
He continued confidently, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can send people to search the Wei Mansion now. The military pay silver coins and the letters exchanged with Nanyue should be hidden in Wei Xun's study!"
Wei Xun watched Du Sheng having eye contact with General Xia, and thinking back to Du Sheng's performance over the past few days, he made a rough guess in his mind.
No wonder he always comes to Wei Mansion for various reasons these days.
They said they were having a drink and reminiscing about the past, but who would have thought that it would lead to a drama like today.
Du Sheng's entire family is in the capital. Most likely, he was threatened by the prince, so he seemed to have become a different person and stabbed me in the back.
Wei Xun calmed down, fixed his eyes on Du Sheng, and said calmly: "Du Sheng, if you are being coerced, this general has his own way to help you solve it, why do you have to slander me like this."
"We have lived and died together for all these years, do you really not trust me?"
Du Sheng turned his back to Wei Xun, a guilty look flashed across his face: "Humph, Wei Xun, don't gossip in front of His Majesty."
He turned his head to look at Wei Xun's gloomy face. His expression was extremely cold, as if he had completely forgotten the past when they fought side by side. "It was obviously you who kept threatening my family's lives that I kept silent."
Du Sheng spoke clearly and without blinking, "Now that King Jing'an of Yanhuan Mountain has been captured, the people of Nanyue are getting more and more anxious. Your next plan is to destroy the Dazhen regime and become the emperor yourself. If I don't tell the truth, Dazhen may be in danger!"
When the emperor heard the words "the regime was destroyed", he couldn't help but frown slightly.
This is his Achilles' heel, and he cannot tolerate any betrayal, even though he knows that this is only Du Sheng's one-sided statement.
"Wei Xun, Du Sheng is your old subordinate, what else do you want to say?" His voice became a little cold.
"Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that from the time I entered the court until today, I have always been loyal to you and Dazhen, and I have never had any second thoughts," Wei Xun knelt down again in front of the emperor. "Du Sheng was instructed by someone to slander me. He must have taken advantage of my trust and made every possible effort, waiting for me to plead guilty without any excuse."
After saying this, he suddenly kowtowed, his sonorous and powerful voice echoing throughout the hall: "I can only beg the emperor to look into this matter and clear my name!"
"Under instructions..."
After hearing Wei Xun's words, the emperor's expression eased a little and he turned his gaze to General Xia.
"Xia Qing, have you investigated whether Du Sheng was instructed by someone?"
When General Xia heard that he was being asked, he quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, when I first heard about this, I was also skeptical. After all, General Wei Xun has served the country for many years, and both the court and the people of Dazhen have praised him highly."
"However, when I saw with my own eyes that all of Du Sheng's family members were imprisoned, I finally believed what Du Sheng said."
General Xia seemed to have recovered from his cold. He did not even cough and spoke fluently, "In addition, I also went to the Ministry of Justice to interrogate Lei Yin, who is a subordinate of General Yang Zan of Nanyue."
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, and asked with curiosity in his tone, "Did Xia Qing find out anything during the interrogation?"
"Your Majesty, I didn't find out anything at the time," Commandant Xia shook his head. "Lei Yin had been beaten so hard by the Ministry of Justice that he couldn't speak. This was the first time I saw the Ministry of Justice treat a prisoner so cruelly. It was as if someone was deliberately trying to silence him."
"Master Xia, please be careful with your words."
At this time, Song Xuanlin also walked out from the crowd of ministers, his figure as straight as a pine tree. "I am in charge of the case of Jing'an Wang and Nanyue's collusion and rebellion under the order of my father. I have already tried Leiyin and did not use heavy punishment. Lord Xia said that you want to punish me and General Wei Xun together?"
Taiwei Xia looked at Song Xuanlin approaching aggressively, his eyes flashing with an imperceptible coldness: "Your Highness Prince Ming's ability is naturally admired by this old minister, but although this old minister is old, his eyesight is not blurry yet!"
Then, he said to the guards, "Bring Lei Yin up."
The guards received the order and rushed out.
After a while, the sound of shackles colliding came from far away.
Song Xuanlin looked at Lei Yin at the entrance of the hall with some surprise.
At this time, Lei Yin was being dragged into the hall by the guards with a bruised face.
His cheeks and the exposed skin all over his body were covered with scars, both new and old, as if he had just been through the torture of purgatory.
what happened......
Song Xuanlin looked at Lei Yin's whole body carefully in the light, narrowed his eyes in confusion, and his brain was thinking quickly.
This was not the first time that he had been ordered to handle a case at the Ministry of Justice.
Perhaps other officials would need to torture prisoners to extract confessions, but he did not.
The cold temperament and sharp words he exudes are like thunder and lightning, which can gradually cause the prisoners to have emotional fluctuations.
When your mind is confused, your thinking is muddled, and it is easy to get the answers you want.
There was no need to use fists and kicks when interrogating Lei Yin and other Nanyue people this time, because the evidence was irrefutable and they would be killed whether they spoke or not.
"Who on earth inflicted these injuries on my body..." Song Xuanlin couldn't help but mutter to himself. He had indeed been away from the Ministry of Justice for a few days.
However, as soon as he left, Lei Yin was beaten beyond recognition. It seemed that the prince had used all the chess pieces in his hand this time.
"Your Majesty, this is the Leiyin of Nanyue," General Xia said in a deep voice at this time.
He glanced at Song Xuanlin who was standing there in a daze, and said with a smug smile, "It's only because I sent a doctor to treat Lei Yin for a few days, otherwise his original injuries would be even more horrible than now."
It was indeed a heavy blow.
The emperor sighed secretly, and looked at Song Xuanlin with suspicion in his eyes: "Xuanlin, why did you beat Lei Yin like this?"
"Father, please understand. I did not allow anyone to torture Lei Yin privately." Song Xuanlin replied in a deep voice, his expression becoming more and more solemn. "I have already submitted the case files. These Nanyue prisoners can be executed on a chosen day. Why do we need to start a war?"
"Besides, I am not familiar with the Ministry of Justice. Everything I say and do there will be reported to the palace. I am not so stupid as to do something inappropriate and cause gossip."
"Oh, you Dazhen people really like to get rid of the donkey after it has done its work. I, Lei Yin, have finally seen through it."
Lei Yin laughed loudly after hearing what Song Xuanlin said. With one swollen eye, he looked at Song Xuanlin and Wei Xun viciously and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Ming Wang, you are a hypocritical villain. You colluded with Wei Xun and persuaded me, Nanyue, to sacrifice Yang Zan's life. Now that you succeeded, you want to kill me to silence me, right!"
