Yinzhen was not surprised by his reaction.
He ordered, "Read it to him." As he spoke, he handed a file to a waiting bailiff, which contained evidence of Ming Liyan's crimes.
It included details about the people who committed crimes with him, how he colluded with pirates, and even his entire network of interests.
The more Mingli spoke, the paler his face became.
After the constable finished speaking, Yinzhen casually remarked, "Lord Ming had better speak quickly. Lord Ji is only a wall away from you. If Lord Ji speaks first, then Lord Ming must know his fate. The court does not spare the lives of useless people."
There's nothing Ming Liyan doesn't understand, but whether he says it or not, his fate won't be good.
Over the years, he has let his guard down. Although he has left some contingency plans, those plans are completely useless in the current situation.
Thinking this way, Ming Liyan suddenly had a "what's the use" mentality. Since his good days were over, then he might as well lose everything.
So Ming Liyan confessed.
They were also willing to cooperate with the imperial court to eliminate pirates and Japanese pirates.
Tong Yao also confessed to Ji Qingwei's story.
Tong Cheng'er watched from the side, feeling that the dark room hadn't served any purpose.
Not long after Yinzhen came out, the Eighth Prince also came out.
After coming out, the Eighth Prince felt like he was in a dream.
He knew some things, but not much. He didn't do much in this investigation either. I really didn't know that Yinzhen could find out so much.
He only found out about it when Yinzhen read the evidence of Ji Qingwei's crimes to his men just now.
The Eighth Prince was amazed by Yinzhen's efficiency.
So when he came out, he saw that Yinzhen had a rather complicated expression on his face.
He naturally felt that he was quite capable, but now it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement.
"Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law."
Yinzhen asked, "Is the trial finished?"
The Eighth Prince nodded: "The trial is over."
In fact, the Eighth Prince felt that he was not really needed for this interrogation, but he did gain some experience from it.
Yinzhen: "It's almost noon, let's have lunch together!"
The Eighth Prince did not refuse. In the past, he only thought that his fourth brother, Yinzhen, had some ability and competence. At that time, the Eighth Prince was somewhat dismissive of him, thinking that he was no less capable than him. Now he was proven wrong.
He wanted to know more about Yinzhen even more.
Before his departure, the Eighth Prince was still thinking about the First Prince, but after so many things happened during this trip, he tasted the sweetness of being obeyed and became increasingly resentful.
Therefore, he also became ambitious and wanted to rise to the top. The Eighth Prince felt that Yinzhen was a rival.
The Eighth Prince did not believe that Yinzhen had no ambition to compete for the throne. They were all princes, and none of them were inferior to the other. Since he had the opportunity to be the one above all others, who could say that he was willing to bow down and kneel to his brother?
In fact, Yinzhen had no ambition to seize the throne; what he was doing now was making the throne irreplaceable.
What he wanted was the last throne that no one else could claim except him.
The Eighth Prince really wronged him.
The group went out for a meal together, including Tong Cheng'er, who was dressed in men's clothing, but that didn't matter.
During the meal, the Eighth Prince said, "My wife has been quite bored lately. If Fourth Sister-in-law has nothing to do, I'll have her come to you. My wife always says that Fourth Sister-in-law is a role model for her."
Upon hearing this, Tong Cheng'er smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated. If Eighth Sister-in-law doesn't mind, you can come to me anytime."
But deep down, I didn't believe it.
How could the proud Eighth Prince's wife possibly say that others are her role models? Lying requires no skill at all. The Eighth Prince's words are not sincere.
The Eighth Prince smiled and said, "Then it's settled."
Yinzhen knew him quite well and knew what kind of idea he was probably up to! This was one of the things Yinzhen disliked most about the Eighth Prince.
He appears to be a gentleman, but in reality, he is not as magnanimous as the women in the inner quarters.
During his dream of vying for the throne, the Eighth Prince stirred up trouble in Yongzheng's backyard. His methods were despicable, but they were effective.
Emperor Yongzheng was quite annoyed by this.
Yinzhen was afraid that he would start to have ill intentions again.
On the way back, Yinzhen said, "You should be careful with your eighth brother. If your wife really comes looking for you, I'm worried about having someone with you."
Tong Cheng'er found it funny: "They can't possibly eat me, can they?"
Yinzhen said, "I wouldn't go so far as to eat you, but Eighth Brother is the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goals."
In the dream, the Eighth Prince had done something that ruined a woman's reputation. At that time, Yongzheng had just acquired a concubine who had not yet entered the household, but she lost her reputation for no reason, and the woman hanged herself.
It was later discovered that it was the work of the Eighth Prince.
To prevent Yongzheng from gaining any support, they would do anything, even accepting despicable acts, which is truly astonishing.
"No poison, no manhood," but to go to such despicable lengths is truly unbecoming of a person.
Yinzhen really didn't want his young wife to be targeted by the Eighth Prince, since such scheming was hard to guard against.
Tong Cheng'er exclaimed in surprise, "I'm his sister-in-law. I've slept with the prince's wife, Yu Die. He shouldn't have the guts to do anything else!"
Yinzhen flicked her forehead: "How can you say you don't have guts? He's got plenty of guts! He's the kind of person who likes to plan ahead. He's got his eye on the throne. He might not have paid much attention to me before, but he probably saw my abilities on the spot, so he's on guard now. And the kind of person who's going to scheme against someone will be the kind of person who's the most gentle. But he's still young and inexperienced, so he seems a bit impatient and opportunistic. But you can't say he's incompetent. In short, stay away from your eighth brother and his wife."
