Chapter 438
Although Yuan Bin was taken down, Zhu Jian was still in the hall.

After bringing Yuan Bin to the palace, he withdrew to the line of civil servants on the side. At the same time, amidst the discussions of his colleagues, he finally understood the current situation.

Tingju, the mission, leaked the military situation of Shawo, ordered by the Supreme Emperor, and the golden knife was the proof...

A few short words are enough for Zhu Jian to roughly guess the ins and outs of the matter.

At the same time, he finally understood why the imperial court knew in advance that they would raid Shawo first, and sent Guo Deng a military order to allow the mobilization of the army.

But it was also at this moment that he realized that he had done a wrong thing!
He finally realized that the emperor sent him to Oala with a secret edict, and made such a big concession.

It seems to be to welcome back the Supreme Emperor, but in fact, the goal is Yuan Bin!

After thinking about this, Zhu Jian felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have brought Yuan Bin back.

However, there is no regret medicine in the world.

As Yuan Bin was taken out of the hall, the three members of the mission were dragged back to the hall.

But this time, Lu Zhong did not hold Xu Bin and Xiao Weizhen any longer, but finally turned his attention to Zhang Fu who had no chance to speak.

Grabbing Zhang Fu's testimony in his hand, Lu Zhong said sternly.

"Bold Zhang Fu, above Tingju, you dare to deceive Jun Wang, didn't you say that you have never seen Yuan Bin, and you have never leaked any military information, so look, what is this?"

Although they were asking Zhang Fu, the three members of the mission raised their heads at the same time.

Then, they saw that Lu Zhong had a familiar small golden knife in his hand.

At that moment, Xiao Weizhen's face turned pale, while Xu Bin, on the other hand, showed joy and said directly.

"That's right, it's this golden saber that Yuan Bin was holding in the Wara camp that day!"

However, Lu Zhong ignored Xu Bin, but put the golden knife in front of Zhang Fu, and continued to press him.

"Master Zhang, until now, do you still want to continue to make mistakes? Why don't you tell the truth!"

This gesture made Jiao Jing and the others on the side feel tense.

It's not that they are ignorant of the criminal case. They had already expected that the emperor let Yuan Bin off so easily just now.

Now Lu Zhong is obviously making a fraudulent confession!
Seeing physical evidence like the golden knife suddenly, once the psychological defense line is not strong enough, you will be deceived immediately.

Man Chao's eyes were all focused on Zhang Fu's body, and he saw a change in his expression, reluctantly said.

"Commander Lu, what did he say? What is this? I have never seen it before!"

Seeing that Zhang Fu continued to deny, Lu Zhong was not in a hurry and said with a smile.

"Zhang Fu, this golden knife is already in front of you. I never thought that you would have to resist. In front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, this commander is not afraid to tell you. Use your brain to think about it. This commander can If you can get this golden knife, can't you get someone?"

As he spoke, Lu Zhong waved his hand and said.

"Come here, bring Yuan Bin here."

So, outside the main hall, someone escorted Yuan Bin in immediately.

But this time, it was different from when he just went out, Yuan Bin had already been tied up and his mouth was gagged.

Moreover, the brocade guard robe he was originally wearing was gone, and he was replaced with a worn prison uniform, just like the three of Xu Bin.

Yuan Bin, who entered the hall, saw Xu Bin and the three of them, and immediately widened his eyes, wanting to say something, but was held tightly by the two guards escorting him, unable to move at all.

At the same time, seeing Yuan Bin's appearance, the expressions of Zhang Fu and the others changed.

With a trembling voice, Xiao Weizhen said: "This, this is impossible, how could you catch Yuan Bin, he is clearly in the north, when did you..."

At this moment, Xiao Weizhen was obviously in a mess because of Yuan Bin's appearance, and his speech was a little incoherent.

At this time, Lu Zhong interrupted him coldly and said.

"When and how they were arrested has nothing to do with Mr. Xiao. You just need to know that there is no case that Jin Yiwei wants to investigate clearly!"

After speaking, Lu Zhong turned to Zhang Fu and continued to ask.

"Master Zhang, what else do you have to say?"

Zhang Fu took a deep breath, his complexion became extremely difficult, after a while, a trace of pain appeared on his face, and said.

"I say……"

Hearing this, Yuan Bin, who was held down by the two Jin Yiwei, frantically wanted to raise his head, but with his own strength, how could he resist the two specially arranged Jin Yiwei.

At the same time, Xiao Weizhen looked at Zhang Fu as if he had seen a ghost.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Fu sighed and said.

"Lord Xiao, I can't hide the matter now, so let's tell the truth."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Fu kowtowed deeply on the ground and said.

"Your Majesty, the previous confession is that the minister deceived His Majesty. During the trip to Oara, the mission did leak the military report. What Master Xu said is all true."

"Om" sound.

Although I already had a rough guess in my heart, but now that Zhang Fu really admitted it, there was still an uproar in the court.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fu kowtowed again and continued.

"The minister is indeed guilty, but as Master Xu said, the reason why the mission took such risks is to ambush Xining and rescue the Supreme Emperor."

"At that time, I didn't want to do this, but Yuan Bin came here with a golden knife, saying that if he didn't kill Xining, the Supreme Emperor would not return south, so he ordered us to act according to the plan. The will is above, and we dare not disobey."

"After we arrived at the Xuanfu, although we wanted to report this to the court, we were worried that publicizing the matter would damage the court's prestige and the dignity of the Tian family, so we dare not tell the truth."

"I know that I have committed the crime of deceiving the court, but I ask your majesty to obey the orders and forgive my sins for the sake of my lord."

As soon as the words fell, there were even more discussions in the court.

Jiao Jing and the others looked livid, staring at Zhang Fu who was kneeling in the hall.

Amidst the discussion, Lu Zhong nodded and said.

"Okay, Master Xiao, now that Master Zhang has confessed, you still want to say that everything was ordered by Xu Bin?"

Xiao Weizhen's face was pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak a word.

At this time, Zhang Fu sighed, and said: "Master Xiao, we have done everything we can do, right and wrong, let the court judge..."

Hearing this, Xiao Weizhen looked at Zhang Fu with an extremely complicated expression.

When he was in Yehuling back then, he clearly confessed to himself that he must kill Xu Bin, so that the two of them could be exonerated.

As a result, up to now, he held on, but Zhang Fu himself was the one who spoke back.

Glancing at Yuan Bin, who was tied up by five flowers, Xiao Weizhen felt powerless for a while, and after a while, he finally lowered his head and said.

"Your Majesty forgives the crime. I also care about the dignity of the Tian family. I didn't intend to deceive Your Majesty."

The hall fell into silence.

All three bowed their heads and pleaded guilty. So far, the case has finally been cleared, but the feelings of the elders are extremely complicated.

The criminal trial is clear, and the next thing is the political field.

Zhang Fu and Xiao Weizhen's words, although there are elements of self-defense, but it did make many ministers feel worried.

Once this case is publicized, and the common people learn that the Supreme Emperor used border military newspapers to deceive Yexian's trust in order to ambush Xining, how should they treat the court?And what about the royal family?
