Thinking of this, Cai Zhen immediately prepared to change his words. Although Fang Jian had injected a ray of Taisu Xuanguang into his soul, he had already made a choice at this moment.
If he admitted that he had killed Young Master Yundan, not only would he die, but his family in the Jingshan Dao Kingdom would also be implicated.
If he changed his words now, at most he would be killed by Fang Jian, but his family would be saved, after all, 'there is no evidence after death'.
However, the moment he opened his mouth, the words that came out were: "I plead guilty. It was Madam Yao Xing who ordered me to bribe the Yuntai Immortal Bandits to sneak into Yujing City and kill Master Yundan."
The moment Cai Zhen finished speaking, even he himself turned pale with horror, suddenly covered his mouth with his eyes wide open.
How could he say what he was thinking? No, he should still retract his confession!
Suddenly, Cai Zhen looked up at Fang Jian standing beside him, only to see Fang Jian smiling. He immediately understood that it was Fang Jian who was behind this.
Fang Jian sneered in his heart. How could he not consider this? Therefore, in the Taisu Xuanguang that penetrated into Cai Zhen's soul, it also carried a great power of the law of the great way.
The great power of this law allows Cai Zhen to only speak the truth and not lies!
The five Taifu Daozun's faces changed drastically. Madam Yao Xing! That's the granddaughter of Taishi Daozun.
Even the Taoist Taizhen couldn't sit still anymore and immediately shouted at Cai Zhen, "Cai Zhen, do you know who Madam Yao Xing is? She's the granddaughter of the Taoist Taishi, the regent of the Honglutai. How dare you bring this up and wrongly accuse Madam Yao Xing?"
Cai Zhen quickly opened his mouth to continue to change his confession, but as long as he opened his mouth, he would tell the truth. After just a few words, he revealed everything.
The five ministers became more and more alarmed as they listened, and the Taoist Master Taizhen hurriedly stopped the meeting: "Suspend the meeting today and continue the discussion another day."
"I disagree."
At this moment, Prince Yunhao on the side spoke directly: "Daoist Master Taizhen, why did you suspend the meeting for no reason?"
Taoist Taizhen looked at Yun Hao and said, "Prince Yun Hao, this matter concerns Madam Yao Xing. We must investigate it thoroughly. We cannot just listen to Cai Zhen's opinion."
Prince Yunhao said calmly, "Daoist Master Taizhen, Madam Yao Xing is the wife of my Jingshan Dao Kingdom. If what Cai Zhen said is true, this is a family affair of my Jingshan Dao Kingdom, and we must investigate it thoroughly today. If Daoist Master Taizhen forcibly suspends the meeting, then I will take Cai Zhen directly back to Jingshan Dao Kingdom and hand him over to the emperor for questioning."
Hearing Yun Hao's words, Taizhen Taoist Master was suddenly at a loss. This was the difference between the Crown Prince and the Young Master. Although the Crown Prince was not a Taoist Master, once he left his Taoist country, he represented the entire Taoist country and its ruler.
Therefore, among all the people present, only Prince Yun Hao dared to speak directly to the five ministers in this way.
Finally, at Yun Hao's insistence, the five assistants stared at Fang Jian with hatred in their hearts, but they had no choice but to continue interrogating Cai Zhen.
However, the interrogation of Cai Zhen went exceptionally smoothly. Because there was a great power of regularity in Cai Zhen's soul, he quickly confessed to all his crimes. A clear outline of the Yundan case was revealed to everyone.
That 'Madam Yao Xing' was not the original wife of Taoist Taixu of Jingshan Dao Country. Taoist Taixu's original wife died a hundred thousand years ago.
After the death of his first wife, Daoist Master Taixu married Daoist Master Taishi's eldest granddaughter Yao Xing and gave birth to a son named Yunqi.
Yun Hao and Yun Dan were both born to Taoist Taixu's first wife, so if Yao Xing wanted to help his son become the "Crown Prince", he had to get rid of Yun Hao and Yun Dan.
But Yun Hao had been assisting Taixu Daozun in the country of Jingshan Dao, so she had no chance to take action. Therefore, she had to get rid of Yun Dan first and then deal with Yun Hao.
So she relied on her background and status to win over Cai Zhen, and gave him 600,000 dusts of power, and asked him to be responsible for killing Yun Dan. Later, she could recommend him to Yujing to be a powerful minister.
But Cai Zhen was also smart. He did not do it himself, but bribed the Yuntai Immortal Bandits to kill Yun Dan. He originally thought that he would slowly eliminate the Yuntai Immortal Bandits to silence them later. He did not expect that the five assistants were also using Yun Dan's death to make a fuss, and he did not expect that he would be captured by Fang Jian halfway.
When the interrogation was completed, the Minister on the Council Platform, who was responsible for recording all the case files, handed the two jade books to the five ministers and Yun Hao respectively.
After a careful reading, Yun Hao couldn't help but angrily yell at Cai Zhen, "You bastard! Your king and father treated you well, yet you are so cruel and heartless as to kill the son of a noble man!"
Cai Zhen said in great fear, "I was also ordered by Madam Yao Xing. I can't afford to offend Madam Yao Xing!"
"Hmph!" Yun Hao snorted coldly, then bowed to the five ministers and said, "Five ministers, now that the truth behind my brother Yun Dan's death has been revealed, I will bring Cai Zhen back to the emperor and father for his judgment."
The five ministers were extremely troubled. They never expected that Yao Xing was involved in this matter. They thought that the other wives of Taoist Taixu wanted to compete for favor and position, so they bribed Cai Zhen to kill Yun Dan.
I never expected that Yao Xing, the wife of the King of Jingshan Dao, would do such a stupid thing.
However, the matter is done now, and Yun Hao, as the prince, will never let it go. After all, Yun Dan is his biological brother, and Yao Xing is the stepmother who killed his biological brother.
After much deliberation, the five ministers had no choice but to issue an imperial decree to transfer Cai Zhen and the case to Yun Hao, letting Taoist Taixu worry about it first, after all, it was his current wife who killed his son.
Yun Hao took the imperial edict, then bid farewell to the five ministers, took Cai Zhen away from Fang Jian, and then left the conference table.
Seeing Yun Hao leaving, the five assistants were very unwilling. Their plan this time could be said to have completely failed, and they lost in a frustrating and humiliating way.
