Incite civil unrest and fight against the imperial court!
As Yun Zheng finished speaking, the faces of Yang Huizhou and everyone in the Su family changed drastically.
At this moment, they finally understood Yun Zheng’s intention!
Yun Zheng wants to charge them with treason!
He wants to wipe out the entire Su family in one fell swoop!
Yang Huizhou was completely panicked, wailing: "Your Highness, I... I absolutely did not..."
"No?"
Yun Zheng snorted coldly: "As the Junior Secretary of the Crown Prince's Mansion, don't you know the laws of our dynasty? You have nothing in your hands, but you dare to leave the imperial city without permission to conspire with the Su family. If you are not planning to rebel, then what are you doing? Are you plotting to obstruct the new policy of Fuzhou?"
When asked by Yun Zheng, Yang Huizhou became even more flustered.
What to do now?
...
...
Whether it is treason or obstructing the new policy in Fuzhou, it will cost you your head!
The key point is that he can't produce something like the prince's warrant!
This confirmed that he had left the imperial city without permission.
As long as this matter is confirmed, Yun Zheng’s suspicions will not be excessive, and he will not be able to defend himself at all!
"The King is asking you a question!"
Yun Zheng's face suddenly fell, "If you don't tell the truth, I will let you have a taste of the military's method of interrogating enemy spies!"
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Yang Huizhou's body suddenly shuddered.
He knew in his heart that compared with the interrogation methods used in the army, the interrogation methods used in the court were far too gentle.
Just as Yang Huizhou was racking his brains over what to do, Yun Zheng had already lost his patience.
“Come on!”
Yun Zheng shouted: "Skin Yang Huizhou!"
Peel...peel?
Yang Huizhou's face changed drastically.
Although the torture had not yet been inflicted on him, he seemed to have already felt the piercing pain.
Seeing two guards approaching with knives in hand, Yang Huizhou was almost frightened to death, and wailed in fear: "Your Highness, I...I will tell you everything!"
At this moment, Yang Huizhou no longer cared about anything else and confessed in a panic.
However, Yang Huizhou still had some idea in his mind.
He would never dare to say that Yun Li asked him to obstruct Fuzhou's new policy.
If this were said out loud, the entire family would at least be exiled or sent into exile, if not killed along with all nine generations of the clan.
Seeing that Yang Huizhou was about to confess, Su Henian panicked and shouted, "Master Yang..."
"Shut up!"
Yun Zheng interrupted Su Henian coldly, "If you dare to interfere with my interrogation again, I will punish you with twenty strokes of the cane!"
Su Henian's heart trembled, and he dared not say anything more, but he winked at Yang Huizhou frantically.
However, Yang Huizhou was busy taking care of himself and had no time to care about Su Henian.
Under Yun Zheng's fierce gaze, Yang Huizhou said intermittently: "I accidentally learned that the Su family colluded with Hou Shikai, a grain merchant in Muzhou, and spent two million taels of silver to bribe the people in Shuobei, and got the method of turning brown sugar into white sugar from the prince. I was obsessed with it and wanted to get a piece of it, so I left the imperial city without permission and came to Juping..."
Yang Huizhou sold out the Su family completely and even had to throw dirty water on himself.
Not only will his fellow Taoist die, but he will also kill me.
There are some things that everyone knows tacitly.
Yun Zheng knew the real purpose of his coming to Fuzhou.
He also knew that Yun Zheng's real target was the Su family.
Only if Su is sold out and Yun Zheng achieves his goal, will Yun Zheng be likely to let him go.
Otherwise, no matter what, he would not be able to get away from the imperial city without permission.
This can also be considered a kind of tacit understanding!
As Yang Huizhou finished speaking, everyone in the Su family's faces turned pale.
It’s over!
It's really over now!
Su Henian's face was filled with despair, and he wished he could tear Yang Huizhou into pieces.
For a moment, he really wanted to tell the truth about how Yang Huizhou instigated the Su family to obstruct Fuzhou's new policy.
If the Su family is not having an easy time, Yang Huizhou won’t have an easy time either.
But after hesitating for a long time, Su Henian still didn't dare to say it.
Although he was angry, he also knew that obstructing the new policy would be much more serious than secretly buying sugar production methods.
At this moment, Su Henian really regretted it.
If he had known this would happen, Yun Zheng would have cooperated obediently and not caused so much trouble. How could the Su family have ended up like this?
It’s a pity that it’s too late to regret now.
"I see!"
Yun Zheng looked at Yang Huizhou with satisfaction, and then shouted: "How dare you, Su family, offer a huge bribe to my Shuobei officials? I really underestimated you, Su family!"
"Your Highness, it's unfair! It's unfair..." Su Songbo was still struggling in his death throes.
"Unjust?"
Yun Zheng snorted coldly, "At this point, you still want to deny it? Do you know what the crime is for bribing an official with two million taels of silver according to my Shuobei laws?"
Su Songbo's face turned pale, "Old man, I don't know..."
"You don't know, right? Then I'll tell you!"
Yun Zheng slowly stood up and glanced at the Su family with a frosty face. "If the bribe exceeds 10,000 taels of silver, the briber will be beheaded in public! If it exceeds 100,000 taels, the whole family will be executed! How many times do you think the Su family can be executed by me?"
As Yun Zheng's voice fell, everyone was completely stunned.
A few timid female relatives have already started crying.
Su Henian tried hard to keep himself calm, and asked through gritted teeth: "Your Highness, this is Fuzhou. Even if what Lord Yang said is true, how can you punish us according to the laws of Shuobei?"
"Who said this matter can't be handled according to the laws of Shuobei?"
Yun Zheng snorted coldly: "You bribed my Shuobei officials, why don't you be dealt with according to Shuobei's laws? Otherwise, I will go to the trouble of escorting you all to Shuobei and then deal with you?"
Escort to Shuobei?
Su Henian trembled all over.
If we escort them to Shuobei, will they still have a chance to survive?
Su Henian racked his brains and wanted to explain himself, but Su Huaimin beside him gently pulled him aside and shook his head with a bitter look on his face.
At this point, hasn’t my father figured it out yet?
Yun Zheng is determined to deal with the Su family.
Yun Zheng wants to use the Su family as an example to scare the monkeys!
The more they struggled, the more brutal Yun Zheng became.
Instead of struggling, it is better to accept Yun Zheng's treatment obediently. In this way, the Su family may still have a chance of survival.
Otherwise, what awaits them will be real genocide!
Yun Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to everyone. He turned to look at Su Zan and asked coldly, "Do you know that the Su family bribed the officials of Shuobei with huge amounts of money?"
"Your humble servant... doesn't know." Su Zan quickly denied.
"Don't you know?"
Yun Zheng looked at Su Zan meaningfully, "Whether they were unaware or deliberately covering up, you know it! I will give you one last chance to interrogate these people from the Su family!"
One last chance?
Su Zan smiled bitterly in his heart.
How could he not understand what Su Huaimin understood?
Yun Zheng was trying to force him to take action to disintegrate the Su family!
If he takes action, these people from the Su family might still have a chance to survive.
But if he didn't take action, the entire Su family would probably be executed!
What a great King Jingbei!
This time he is determined to target the Su family!
And I will become the knife in Yun Zheng's hand...
