"Alright, now tell me, who exactly instructed you to spread those rumors?"

Upon seeing Wang Rui regain consciousness, the constable approached him with a cold gaze, holding a sharp knife in his hand and repeatedly gesturing at Wang Rui's groin.

Wang Rui felt a tightness in his lower body, then raised his head and said tremblingly, "No one instructed us. We were just guessing, but we never expected it to become such a big deal!"

The constable then continued, "Who are you all?"

"There are Gao Xin, Zhang Qing, Han Ye..."

Then Wang Rui mentioned a number of names intermittently. These people were almost all upright officials in the court, and they also came from influential families.

"Are there other people involved? For example... the King of Bohai pulling the strings behind the scenes...??"

After his men had recorded all the names, the constable looked at Wang Rui again.

"The King of Bohai??"

Wang Rui was stunned for a moment, and was about to shake his head in denial when he noticed the meaningful look in the constable's eyes.

Then Wang Rui cautiously looked at the constable, "Does he... have it or not...?"

"It either exists or it doesn't. Why are you asking me that?"

"Look carefully, is it there or not?"

The constable glared at him, then produced a confession and placed it in front of Wang Rui.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, it was he who sent people to instigate this... We were only acting out of concern for His Majesty's safety!"

After reading the contents of the confession, Wang Rui hurriedly nodded and admitted it, because the confession placed all the blame for spreading rumors on Liu Kui, the Prince of Bohai, and that they were only worried that the emperor might be taken advantage of due to momentary oversight.

"Since that's the case, then sign and put your fingerprint on it. After the trial is over, you'll be released naturally!"

The constable smiled and then had Wang Rui put down.

"Okay, okay, I'll sign it right away... I'll sign it right away!!"
