Chapter 378 Seeing this token is like seeing the emperor

The next day, at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"My Lord, something terrible has happened!"

Feng Luo frowned: "Why are you so panicked?"

The secret guard saluted respectfully and said, "Prime Minister, Shangguan Qing has found Uncle Zhong."

"The interrogation will be held in the front hall of the Dali Temple at noon today."

"What did you say?" Feng Luo sat up suddenly: "Did Shangguan Qing find that old immortal?"

The secret guard nodded: "Yes, Lord Prime Minister."

"Crowds have gathered outside the Dali Temple. Even the Emperor will be here."

With a "bang", Feng Luo swept everything on the table to the ground and cursed: "You are all useless. Shangguan Qing actually found that old thing."

"You killed the real one."

Feng Luo frowned and said, "I have to go to the Dali Temple now."

...............

Dali Temple.

The yard was already full of people.

"You've heard it! It turns out that the person who embezzled the disaster relief money was someone else, not Lord Gu. Lord Gu was framed."

"I told you! How could it be possible that Lord Gu embezzled the disaster relief funds?"

"Today I want to see who framed Lord Gu."

………………

In the dungeon of Dali Temple, where the punishments were the most cruel.

Although the dog slave was tied up, he had his eyes closed and looked arrogant.

"Lord Shangguan, what's the matter? Did this dog slave confess?" Feng Qingjiu asked.

Shangguan Qing shook his head: "My dear Princess, no, this slave is very stubborn."

Feng Qingjiu looked around and found no signs of torture, so he asked curiously, "Sir Shangguan, you didn't just question him all night, did you?"

Shangguan Qing nodded: "Yes."

Feng Qingjiu's mouth twitched: "Sir Shangguan, are these torture instruments just for show?"

"Your Highness Princess, you don't know that without the emperor's order, you are not allowed to punish the prisoners privately." Shangguan Qing said.

Well! No wonder that dog slave is so arrogant.

So that's how it is. No torture! Who would confess after chanting for a whole night?

Feng Qingjiu walked up to the dog servant, chuckled, and said, "Uncle Zhong, I will give you one last chance to tell me who framed Uncle Gu. I can ask the emperor to spare your life."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless."

The dog slave opened his eyes and said with disdain: "Princess, I don't know what you are talking about."

Seeing that the dog slave was still stubborn, Feng Qingjiu didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore.

"Sir Shangguan, start the torture. Give all the torture instruments here to Uncle Zhong."

"Let's have that first!" Feng Qingjiu said, pointing at the red-hot shovel.

Hearing that torture was going to take place, the dog slave said, "According to the laws of the Holy Kingdom, no private execution is allowed without the Emperor's order."

Feng Qingjiu took out a token and said calmly, "This token was given to me by the Emperor himself. It can mobilize the Imperial Guards."

"Sir Shangguan, can we start the torture?"

Shangguan Qing was stunned when he saw the token in Feng Qingjiu's hand.

This is not...!

I didn’t expect that the emperor actually gave it to the eldest princess!

Seeing this token is like seeing the emperor.

The next second Shangguan Qing knelt down and shouted at the token: "Long live the emperor!"

Feng Qingjiu put away the token: "Sir Shangguan, can we start the torture now?"

Shangguan Qing nodded: "Okay."

When the dog slave heard that he was going to be tortured, he was terrified.

“Wait a minute…!”

Feng Qingjiu glared at him and said, "It's too late, old dog. I have already given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

"Sir Shangguan, this dog slave is here in person."

After Feng Qingjiu finished speaking, he picked up the golden shovel and walked straight towards the dog slave!

"Princess, please take a look! Where should I start?"

"How about we start with your mouth! This princess thinks your mouth is quite hard, so soften it a little."

Looking at the golden shovel in front of him, the dog slave was terrified.

"Wait a minute...!" the dog slave yelled.

Feng Qingjiu took back the shovel: "Do you have anything else to say?"

"My... My Princess, I really didn't lie. Those disaster relief funds were really embezzled by the Lord Secretary." The dog servant swallowed and said.

"Humph." Feng Qingjiu snorted coldly: "I shouldn't have listened to your nonsense."

"Ah...!" The next second the dog slave's screams spread throughout the dungeon.

Feng Qingjiu changed another shovel: "Let me see where I should start now!"

“Wait… wait a minute…!” said the dog slave, trembling all over.

"Do you think this princess will listen to your nonsense again?" Feng Qingjiu said and raised the shovel high.

Looking at the shovel, the dog servant yelled, "It was Prime Minister Feng. Prime Minister Feng ordered this old servant to do it."

"Prime Minister Feng, he is a loyal minister of Tiansheng, how can you slander him?" Feng Qingjiu continued, "This princess sees that you are stubborn and unrepentant."

The dog servant hurriedly said, "It was really Prime Minister Feng. He was jealous of the Secretary and Madam Song being together, so he wanted to kill the Secretary."

"Prime Minister Feng gave me a lot of gold so that I could testify that the Secretary of State embezzled the disaster relief money."

"Also, the relief money in the storehouse was also put in by Prime Minister Feng while the Secretary of State was not at home. I opened the door and let his subordinates put it in."

"Are you telling the truth?" Feng Qingjiu asked with a frown.

The dog servant nodded: "My Lady Princess, it is absolutely true."

Feng Qingjiu smiled slightly: "Based on your one-sided words alone, this princess does not believe you."

The dog slave said: "My great princess, I have evidence. The disaster relief silver in the Zhongshu Mansion's treasury is only a part of it. The other part is still in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Wasn't the Prime Minister's Mansion robbed at the beginning? Prime Minister Feng embezzled the disaster relief money and put part of it in the treasury of the Secretariat, and even asked this old servant to testify that the rest had been spent by the Secretary."

Feng Qingjiu put down the shovel in his hand and glanced at Shangguan Qing.

Shangguan Qing nodded to indicate that he understood.

Feng Qingjiu: "You can tell the emperor about these words later!"

Feng Luo, I originally wanted to keep you for a little longer, but you insisted on seeking death. In that case, you can't blame me.

.....................

The front hall of Dali Temple.

Ye Xu sat right at the top, and the retired emperor also sat beside him.

Kneeling below were Gu Jingan and his dog slave.

"Jing'an...!" Song Shu couldn't help but call out softly.

Gu Jing'an glanced at his beloved woman, smiled, and then shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

There were some officials sitting on both sides, because they also wanted to know who had embezzled the disaster relief money.

The moment Feng Luo saw the dog slave, he clenched his fists.
