The female general was reborn in the enemy's house? They all die!

"hiss--"

The emperor's furious roar made everyone present gasp.

Li Yujing didn't dare to make any more excuses.

Goose bumps appeared on the back of his neck, and his scalp was numb with tension.

He thought that since the emperor said so, he must have known about the prince and the Xia family's false accusation against King Ming.

But what puzzled him was that the letter did not mention Lu Anfei. How did the emperor know that Lu Anfei was the prince's man?

Full of doubts, he crouched down and glanced ahead secretly.

He had been trying so hard to explain to the emperor just now that he didn't notice that Lu Anfei was also kneeling in the front.

And beside him, there was a long row of black wooden boxes, which looked very much like the boxes used by the Ministry of Revenue to store silver from the national treasury.

Li Yujing's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he looked away in a daze.

It was not until this moment that he realized the real danger.

This Lu Anfei was promoted all the way up by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The money from the Ministry of Revenue ostensibly belonged to the imperial court, but it was not an exaggeration to say that the prince was allowed to dispose of it privately.

Every time the imperial court provided disaster relief or distributed military pay, the prince would make a fortune from it.

Not to mention Lu Anfei himself.

There are so many boxes in the palace, at least tens of thousands of taels. Could it be that the stolen money was found by the emperor?

Before Li Yujing could figure it out, the emperor's icy voice rang out again: "Li Yujing, you were an official of the imperial court for several years. Although you have been demoted now, you cannot escape the blame."

He paused for a moment, a sharp light flashing in his eyes: "But I cannot hastily convict you now. I believe you must be involved in many other matters. I will take you to the Ministry of Justice to await trial today!"

"Your Majesty, please have mercy. That letter was really not written by me! It really wasn't written!" Li Yujing was still making his final struggle.

But the emperor felt sick if he looked at him any longer. He held his forehead and signaled the guards to move faster.

Soon, the sound of Li Yujing crying and shouting gradually faded away from the hall.

When everyone saw this scene, they dared not make a sound, for fear that the emperor's anger would affect them.

Du Sheng, who was lying on the ground, was still in shock.

His breathing began to become rapid, he buried his head deeply, and even wanted to escape through the crack in the ground.

But it was useless, the emperor's stern gaze shifted to him again.

"Du Sheng, I thought you had followed Wei Xun for many years and were a sincere and honest person, but you still disappointed me."

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

Du Sheng thought that if he did not plead guilty at this point, his fate would only be more miserable. His wife and children were still living outside Beijing, and he deserved to die, but he must not let them suffer with him.

"Tell me what crime you have committed?" When the emperor heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I should not have believed Li Yujing's slander, accepted Lu Anfei's bribe, and framed General Wei Xun for my own selfish interests."

"only these?"

"..."

Du Sheng raised his eyes slightly and saw the emperor's meaningful look, and his heart was in turmoil.

He understood that the emperor wanted him to reveal all the participants in the whole incident.

But the forces over there are so powerful, how could I afford to offend them?

But if I didn't speak to the emperor's satisfaction, my fate today would definitely be more miserable than Li Yujing's.

In that case, don’t leave any one behind!

Du Sheng gritted his teeth, made up his mind, raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise, there is indeed more to it than this."

He took a deep breath, trying to pluck up his courage: "Li Yujing is just a minor character, the real instigators are actually General Xia and the Crown Prince!"

"What did you say?!"

The emperor actually already had the answer in his mind, but he was still shocked when he heard someone say it so confidently.

"That day at the Yanhuan Mountain birthday banquet, General Wei Xun and His Royal Highness Prince Ming made great contributions, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was confined by you," Du Sheng's voice trembled slightly, "The Crown Prince was unwilling to accept this, so he asked the Xia family to come forward and use money to tempt me to betray General Wei."

"Afterwards, General Xia went to the Dali Temple and beat Lei Yin to a pulp. He also persuaded Lei Yin to discredit His Majesty the King of Ming in front of the Emperor."

"In this way, Your Majesty will surely believe it a little more."

"Great—" The emperor laughed in anger, his eyes bloodshot, "Very good!"

Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, he stood up from the dragon throne in anger, his straight body shaking slightly with anger.

Eunuch Gao stood by and watched worriedly, whispering: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, be careful of your body."

"Humph--"

The emperor slowly retracted his ferocious smile: "I have such a good minister, I can't help but die young!"
