It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 586: Why bother to argue against a false charge?

Until Liu Cong spoke to Liu Yao, he did not react. He was still staring at Liu Cong and the tiger skin in a daze, and even thought to himself: Why does this tiger skin look so familiar? The color is a bit old. Is this tiger quite old?

Liu Cong couldn't help but laugh when he saw Liu Yao still in a daze. It had been a long time since he had seen Liu Yao like this. As a general, he was always agile and thoughtful, but now he looked like this.

However, more than 100 young generals from the Shaoying Corps emerged from all corners of the courtyard. They were not as tall or as heavy as the tiger-fighting soldiers brought by Liu Yi, but they had a secret weapon - dirty blood. These people had basins, bowls, and even teacups and teapots in their hands, and they immediately splashed them. Even Liu Yi couldn't dodge and was splashed all over his head and face.

They didn't expect it to be smelly blood, and after wiping it, they became extremely panicked.

At this time, Liu Yao naturally reacted. He called on his guards and the yamen runners of Qianpufang to take action together. With almost no effort, they pinned Liu Yi and his soldiers to the ground and tied them up tightly with tiger ropes.

Liu Yi yelled, "Brother, what are you doing? I'm here to kill a tiger!"

"You come to fight tigers? Haha." Liu Cong laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke. He leaned over to pick up the tiger skin on the ground, patted the loose dirt on it, and threw it to Liu Yao, "General, your tiger skin is safe."

Liu Yao quickly reached out to catch it, and looked down. It was indeed the tiger skin he had taken from Bian Heng, and it had always been kept by Yang Xianrong. However, he didn't have time to think too much about it now. He was still a little surprised that Liu Yi had been captured.

At this time, Liu Cong shouted again: "Liu Gu, go take down all those tablets, let's see who they are."

"Yes." Liu Gu immediately obeyed and climbed onto the table. At this moment, he suddenly changed his body shape and started fighting with someone in the dark. The man was obviously no match for him. He tried to escape several times but was blocked by the young soldiers of the Shaoying Group under the table. In the end, Liu Gu slapped him in the chest, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out. He finally rolled off the table, knocking over many tablets, making it look even more chaotic.

Liu Yao's guards immediately rushed up and tied this man up tightly.

"Huang Zhi, what are you doing hiding behind me? Are you trying to assassinate me?" Liu Cong put another big accusation on him, scaring him so much that he sobbed and shook his head, trying his best to deny it.

"Then what are you going to do?" Liu Cong walked in front of him and kicked the tablets. It was written on them: King Xuantai Wu, the throne of Liu He.

Liu Cong ascended the throne of the Han Emperor only after killing Liu He, and Liu He was in power for less than a month, but now he has his own posthumous title. This is obviously the work of someone with ulterior motives.

"Liu Yi, I, your elder brother, have treated you well and even given you the title of Crown Prince. What about you? What have you done? Do you think Liu He can give you this title? Is he willing to hand over the Han Dynasty to you?"

Now it was Liu Yi's turn to be speechless. He had no idea how he had turned out like this.

At this time, many more officials came in one after another. Guanglu Doctor Jin Zhun even took a pen and paper, lay on the table and began to write his confession.

Liu Cong was very satisfied and patted Jin Zhun on the shoulder. "Write well. I also want to know why these people, who eat and drink from me, do such things in secret. Bringing a tiger into Pingyang is obviously intended to mess up Pingyang. What does he want to do? Is he going to kill me and become the emperor? Liu Yi, you are really impatient. What a pity. I am not a fool."

More and more people came to the courtyard, all of them were Liu Cong's personal guards. It was obvious that he had been prepared. Liu Cong kept saying one thing after another, and Liu Yi had no way to defend himself.

Everyone knows that Liu Cong killed his brother Liu He with his own hands. Now Liu Yi has set up tablets for Liu He and Liu He's family in his own villa. Even if a tiger entered Pingyang City and committed such a bloody tragedy, he still refused to open the gate of the villa to let everyone come in to hunt, for fear that the offerings here would be discovered.

The evidence is irrefutable and it is difficult to deny.

Jin Zhun was very quick. He quickly wrote down all of Liu Cong's words, spread them out on the ground in front of Liu Yi, and asked, "Liu Yi, do you recognize it?"

Liu Yi's hands and feet were tied up, and even his mouth was stuffed with rags, so he could only make "wuwu" sounds.

"Oh, you admit it, right? Then use your fingerprint." Jin Zhun was quite strong. He pressed Liu Yi's hand on the blood on the ground, and then pressed it on the paper.

When the Han officials saw such a horrific scene, no one dared to say anything, and those who were less courageous slowly retreated.

"You admit your guilt, right? Then kill me!" Liu Cong's voice was neither loud nor soft, but with just this one sentence, Crown Prince Liu Yi and a hundred or so people in his mansion all lost their lives.

Liu Yao clenched his fists and stood beside Liu Cong to protect his safety. All the guards went to the Crown Prince's residence to kill and hunt. Who would have thought that when a big tiger broke into Pingyang City, it was the time for the Crown Prince's death.

Liu Cong kicked the tablets again and said with a sneer, "Jin Zhun, you take care of the aftermath."

"Yes." Jin Zhun immediately nodded and bowed.

When Liu Cong turned around and walked out of the courtyard, Jin Zhun drew out a long knife and stabbed it into Liu Yi's heart.

At the same time, the guards also took action and killed all the guards brought by Liu Yi and Huang Zhi.

Their blood mixed with the dirty blood that the Shaoying Group had just thrown over, and the entire ground of the villa turned red, which was horrifying.

Liu Cong suddenly turned around and took another look. "This house is pretty good. We need to clean it up. You... don't leave. Clean it up before you come to the palace to talk to me. You can't let others do it. You have to do it yourself."

The officials of the Han Dynasty were trembling with fear. Among them were many civil servants and even officials who had surrendered from the Jin Dynasty. Under the pressure of Liu Cong's imperial power and because of the massacre, how dare they disobey?
"Liu Yao, you follow me back to the palace first. Just let your son take care of him. I think this kid is really smart and will definitely be a pillar of our Han Dynasty in the future!" Liu Cong's smile became very sincere again, and he looked at Liu Cheng and the young generals of the Shaoying Group. In fact, these children were also holding on, and their hands and feet were shaking secretly.

Liu Yao just felt that this scene was too bloody, but he also knew very well that this kind of thing was a life-and-death struggle. If Liu Cong had been a little weaker, it would have been Liu Cong who would have died today, and even himself.
