Chapter 306 Justice
To comfort the inner world.
Wei Zhao quickly interrogated the people he had captured.
The people in the Dark Chamber have all been trained, and they can keep their mouths shut even under severe torture.
But the so-called God of Wind doctor confessed everything honestly without waiting for the torture.
"I, I was forced to do it! You said I was doing my job as a traveling doctor, but one day a group of people suddenly came, took me to the palace, and forced me to treat the prince. I am just a commoner, how could I have the right to refuse?"
"Oh? Forced? Then asking people to capture children as medicine inducements was also forced?!"
Wei Zhao slammed the table, frightening the man so much that he trembled.
His voice suddenly became weaker. "I... I can't do anything about it. The prince's life force is broken. Even if a great golden immortal were reborn, he wouldn't be able to cure it!"
"But the prince said that if I couldn't cure it, it would cost me my life. So I made up a ridiculous prescription, saying that if I used the blood of 9981 children as a medicine, and soaked it for nine days, it would grow back."
"I thought I had given them my prescription, and if they couldn't do it, it wouldn't be my responsibility. But who would have thought that they would actually bring so many children here!"
His life was in the hands of the prince, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue.
As soon as they started bleeding, they found it.
Wei Zhao questioned repeatedly and made sure that nothing was missed before he got up to report to his master.
Guarding the gate.
The place was crowded with common people who had rushed over after hearing the news.
Xiao Jinxuan and Xie Zhuoning returned the rescued children to their parents one by one.
Xie Zhuoning also called Song Yuqiu to treat the seriously injured ones, and they are no longer in danger of death.
The sounds of people kneeling and kowtowing in gratitude rang out one after another.
"What about our children?"
Two couples stumbled through the crowd and looked over with hope on their faces.
After asking about their child's characteristics, Xie Zhuoning was rarely silent for a moment.
He waved his hand, and Feiyunwei came forward carrying two corpses.
The moment the white cloth was lifted, several people rushed over like crazy, crying loudly.
After crying enough, the two fathers raised their heads with red eyes, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, who is the murderer who killed them?"
Xiao Jinxuan was silent for a moment and said, "This case is still under further investigation, so it is not convenient to disclose it for the time being. But I promise you that I will give you justice."
His expression was profound and his tone was firm.
Give the most solemn promise.
Among so many people present, only Xie Zhuoning knew what this promise meant.
It represents Xiao Jinxuan's determination to fight Donggong to the end!
"Master, the interrogation results are out."
Wei Zhao walked out of the mansion quickly with Doctor Feng's confession in his hand.
Xiao Jinxuan took it and took a look at it, then immediately ordered, "Escort the witness and bring him to the palace to see the emperor!"
Looking at the team heading towards the palace, Xie Zhuoning felt heavy in his chest and clenched the handkerchief in his hand.
…
East Palace.
"No news yet?" Xiao Bicheng paced back and forth, anxious.
According to their plan, Doctor Fengshen should have delivered the first batch of medicine to the palace today. Why has no one come until now?
He was afraid that someone would find out, but he didn't dare to send too many people to investigate. Just as he was getting anxious, a figure rushed in, "Your Highness, this is bad!"
"But what happened to Doctor Feng?"
"King Xuan has found the place where those children are being held captive, and Doctor Feng has also fallen into his hands. Now King Xuan is escorting the witnesses and is on his way to the palace to meet the emperor!"
When Xiao Bicheng heard this, he was so angry that he smashed things all over the floor.
Xiao Jinxuan, it’s Xiao Jinxuan again. Every time it’s Xiao Jinxuan who ruins his good deeds!
"The Empress sent a message saying that your illness can no longer be concealed. Rather than being passive, it is better to take the initiative to confess to His Majesty."
In this way, maybe it can even make Emperor Zhaowen feel a little distressed.
But once Xiao Jinxuan exposed this matter, the emperor would probably be more furious because of the hidden anger.
"Hurry up, change my clothes!" Xiao Bicheng raised his hand, but turned back and stopped, "No, that's not necessary."
Not only did he not change his clothes, he took off the upper body clothes, asked someone to find two reed branches, carried them on his back, and rushed to Qianqiu Palace to ask for an audience.
When Emperor Zhaowen heard that the prince had come, he was surprised and asked, "Is he well?"
Then he waved his hand and asked someone to invite him in.
As soon as Xiao Bicheng entered the palace, he knelt down with a thump, "Father, I am wrong, please save me!"
Seeing him apologize profusely, Emperor Zhaowen was still a little confused. "What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Bicheng burst into tears and told what he had experienced during this period.
"I did not intentionally lie to you. It was just that your father was not yet awake at that time. I was afraid that if this matter was leaked, my position as crown prince would be lost and Prince Yong would take the throne. Please forgive me this time, as I have admitted my mistake!"
Emperor Zhaowen was surprised at first, then shocked, and then a little angry, but was drowned in heartache, "You should have told me earlier."
"Father, you have just recovered from a long illness. I am afraid to tell you that if your condition worsens again, I will be blamed for it."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhaowen couldn't help but sigh, and he also knew how difficult it was for the prince.
He said angrily, "But you should never, ever, be so foolish as to believe the words of a quack doctor!"
He actually used children as medicine inducers. How could he believe in such an evil method?
Xiao Bicheng didn't care about it. "They are just a few rogues. If they can really cure my disease, it will be their honor."
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Emperor Zhaowen glanced at him fiercely.
Xiao Bicheng panicked and quickly admitted his mistake, "I made a mistake."
At this moment, a palace maid came in and reported, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan wants to see you."
Emperor Zhaowen did not ask Xiao Bicheng to give way and directly summoned Xiao Jinxuan to come in.
By the way, let Xiao Bicheng put on his clothes quickly. He looked so unbecoming now. How could he look like a prince?
"Your Highness." Xiao Jinxuan came in and bowed.
When he looked up, he saw the Crown Prince was also here, and he squinted his eyes immediately, "Your Highness, have you recovered from your illness?"
Xiao Bicheng announced to the public that he had contracted the plague, but now that he could go out, he must have recovered.
But Xiao Jinxuan knew the real cause of his illness, and saying this seemed more like a secret mockery of him.
Xiao Bicheng's face turned cold, and he snorted coldly: "Don't worry about it, Your Highness Prince Xuan!"
Xiao Jinxuan did not say anything more to him and directly presented his testimony, "The emperor ordered me to investigate the missing child case. The murderer has been found. I came to ask for your advice on how to deal with him."
When talking about the murderer, his eyes swept coldly across the prince's cheek.
Emperor Zhaowen glanced at it and nodded expressionlessly, "Well, you did a good job. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. I will make my own arrangements."
Have your own arrangements? What are they?
Looking for a scapegoat? Or just making a big deal out of a small matter?
Xiao Jinxuan had expected this to happen, and immediately stepped forward, "Your Majesty, this matter has caused a lot of uproar. If you don't tell everyone the truth, I'm afraid it will cause public outrage!"
