"The commander of the Imperial Guards, Wei Jianzhong, also confessed, admitting that he had colluded with Grand Tutor Jiang and done many evil things for the Jiang family."
"The most difficult person to deal with was Minister of War Liu Hong. Initially, we couldn't find any evidence of his collusion with Grand Tutor Jiang."
"Later, with the evidence provided by the Wei family, we went to the Liu Mansion and found hidden weapons. Only then did Liu Hong admit to murdering his wife and other crimes."
After listening to Mr. Cui's report, Xia Zhengqi's gloomy expression finally relaxed, and his frown unfurled.
"Okay, Minister Cui, when you return today, compile the confessions of these officials and hand them over to me."
Xia Zhengqi's eyes were blazing: "Tomorrow, I will personally interrogate this old fellow Jiang Rong."
[Wow! Daddy is so awesome! He's even going to interrogate me personally!]

He slowly backed out the door, walked to the corridor, deliberately dropped the ceramic marbles in his purse to the ground, and squatted down to pick them up one by one.
The palace servants in the courtyard saw him squatting on the ground and thought he was playing marbles. Knowing that he was always playful, they did not ask him any questions.
The fifth prince squatted under the Empress Dowager's window, deliberately dawdling and refusing to leave.
At this time, Shoukang Palace was silent. The palace servants knew that it was the time for the Empress Dowager to take a nap, so they did not dare to make any noise.
