The people below looked at each other, but no one stepped forward.
"Whoever did it, please stand up and the emperor may spare your life." A minister suggested.
But no one has ever come out to admit that they did it.
Some people do something wrong and think that as long as they don't admit it, others can't do anything to them, and they may even feel complacent inside.
Who knows that the net of heaven is vast and wide, and nothing can escape it, and there will always be clues left behind.
Seeing the ministers below the stage looking indifferent, Emperor Hui's patience was worn out.
He shouted, "Come here, bring the person up."
Then, a guard brought up a man. The man had shifty eyes and it was obvious that he was not a good person.
The guards forced him to kneel down, and the man trembled with fear when he saw Emperor Hui's fierce eyes.
"Is there anyone in the audience you know? Remember not to say the wrong thing, otherwise..." Emperor Hui said coldly, with endless murderous intent in his eyes.
The man looked around and when he saw a certain place, someone threatened him with eyes not to say it out.
He trembled and said slowly, "I don't know him."
[I knew he wouldn’t admit it voluntarily]
[When he looked down at the stage, he saw someone was threatening him secretly, so he had to keep his mouth shut]
The person who threatened him is shameful.
[Why not just present the evidence and let him give up?]
Emperor Hui agreed with Mu Nanyan's opinion. Since some people refused to admit it, it seemed that tough measures had to be used.
Following Emperor Hui's order, the man saw the person he had long been unable to see.
Didn't he die a long time ago? Why did he come back here?
"Your Majesty, it's him. Someone lied to me that I had failed the exam. I didn't believe it. He is the one who is hunting me down."
"Luckily, I am lucky and someone saved me, so I was able to survive." Pei Ruoxuan said gritting his teeth.
"It's unfair, Your Majesty, he was the one who slandered me." The man came to his senses and denied it flatly.
"Do you recognize this thing?" The guard placed a knife in front of him.
"Don't say you don't recognize it. Someone saw you carrying this thing."
Didn't he throw away the knife?
"Yes, he came to me with this knife that day." Pei Ruoxuan felt a little sad when he saw the knife.
"We have witnesses and evidence, what else do you have to say?" Emperor Hui said angrily.
"Yes, I did all of this and it has nothing to do with others." The man lowered his head and admitted it all.
“
Is there someone threatening you, so you don't dare to tell the truth? "
"Come, look who's here." Emperor Hui said indifferently.
The man suddenly looked up and looked at his wife and daughter in front of him with some disbelief.
The man who ordered him to do so threatened him with the lives of his wife and daughter.
In order to save the lives of his wife and daughter, he had to admit that he did it himself and no one instructed him to do it.
"If you tell me the truth now, I can guarantee that your wife and daughter will not be harmed by that person."
Although that man has great power, he is still vulnerable in front of the emperor.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell the truth.
"Please, Your Majesty, guarantee the safety of my wife and daughter. I will die with my eyes closed."
[Hey, you can’t say this guy is quite ambitious]
[I guess he was threatened by someone, who threatened him with the lives of his wife and daughter]
Emperor Hui didn't know whether it was possible.
"Okay, I promise you. After all, you did something bad and it has nothing to do with your wife and daughter. Just tell us the truth."
Then the man came to Sun Shangshu, walked around him, and said, "Your Majesty, he was the one who sent me to do all this."
Minister Sun knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please don't listen to his nonsense."
"Huh, I'm talking nonsense, what is this?" The man took out the token.
There is a word "Sun" written on the token, so no one would confuse it.
Every time there was a mission, Minister Sun would send someone to take out the token.
When Minister Sun asked him to kill Pei Ruoxuan that day, he actually personally instructed him to do it.
He has a good memory and remembered him at a glance.
He pointed at Pei Ruoxuan standing aside and said, "When this young master first entered Kyoto, Jiu was targeted by Shangshu Sun. After deceiving him, he still felt unsafe and sent me to assassinate him secretly."
"I didn't expect this young man to be so lucky and was rescued and escaped the disaster."
"At that time, Minister Sun punished me for this matter."
"Hmph, Sun Zhengnan, do you have anything else to say?" Emperor Hui threw a memorial at Minister Sun's face.
The piece of paper was so hard that it actually broke his head and blood flowed out.
Minister Sun was terrified. He cried out, "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me."
The blood and his tears flowed together, looking a little scary.
He remembered that Sun Zhengnan was recommended by Prime Minister Xiao.
Prime Minister Xiao, it’s him again.
Emperor Hui said coldly: "Come here, drag him away and chop him off."
It's over. It's all over now.
Sun Zhengnan's eyes went dark, his legs went weak, and he couldn't even stand up.
As the guards dragged him away, he shouted, "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me. Your Majesty, please have mercy on me."
His voice gradually faded away, and everyone in the room was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Emperor Hui then looked at the man and said in a deep voice: "Since you have identified Sun Zhengnan, you can be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of life. You will spend the rest of your life in prison."
The man knelt down, kowtowed three times, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life."
That man was also taken away by the guards and thrown into jail.
Serving the king is like serving a tiger. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
This incident served as a reminder to everyone that their emperor is not someone who can be easily fooled.
Once he finds out, you will be in an irretrievable situation.
