Han: The witchcraft disaster begins, I fight against Emperor Wu of Han

Chapter 60 is on record!

"Grandson of the Emperor Jing!" At this moment, Su Wen had already reacted.

"That's not what this servant meant!"

Even the Imperial Censor Zhang Gan hurriedly said, "This is not what we said. Did the Imperial Grandson Jing deliberately mention Your Majesty to frame us and slander Your Majesty?"

"Grandson Jing, if you want to exonerate the Crown Prince's Palace, you don't have to die with us!" This is what Han said.

Liu Jing looked at them, each of them looking panic-stricken.

He immediately laughed and said, "How many of you still have illusions?"

"Let me be frank. You searched for witchcraft and forced the crown prince to rebel. You released prisoners and opened the armory, causing chaos in Chang'an, which has not yet been quelled!"

"Your crimes deserve death without redemption!"

"We are not talking about witchcraft now, but who instigated you? If you tell the truth, perhaps you can still let the younger generation of the family, and even your wife and daughter survive safely."

As soon as these words came out.

Su Wen and Zhang Gan did not have much emotion except for fear.

But Han Shuo and Zhang Gan began to struggle violently.

Liu Jing ignored it.

At this moment, although everyone knew that Liu Jing was still lawless and was afraid of him because he was involved in the name of His Majesty.

But the Chief Justice Bing Ji no longer had the contempt he had before.

Was the reckless behavior of this grandson of the Emperor Jing real or fake? Was he deliberately trying to cause others to despise him?
Was it intentional that he repeatedly offended Your Majesty?
At this moment, he looked towards the corner with fear.

There, Lu Jie and Yan Sheng had already stood beside the clerk, staring at them recording word by word.

Liu Jing didn't know what Bing Ji was thinking, but continued to look at Su Wen.

"You just talked about His Majesty's instructions, but there is still a question."

"I just asked you, was the second search into the Crown Prince's Palace ordered by His Majesty?"

"You said it yourself... yes."

Liu Jing's voice was like thunder at this moment. "But as far as I know, the first time you entered the Crown Prince's Palace and found the so-called Paulownia doll, you left at about 12:00 p.m., which was sunset. At that time, it was less than an hour before curfew."

"You will enter the Crown Prince's Palace for the second time at noon the next day!"

"There is a curfew in Chang'an. The distance from Chang'an to Ganquan is so long that a fast horse would take a whole day to go back and forth."

"That is to say, from the evening of the first day to noon of the second day, you first sent someone to inform His Majesty of the news about the Paulownia doll, and His Majesty got up at night to meet him."

"And then, after hearing the rumors of auspicious signs the next day, you immediately sent someone to inform His Majesty, who immediately received you and ordered you to search the Crown Prince's Palace. So, you actually arrived at noon the next day in compliance with His Majesty's order?"

"In just half a day, the people you sent out were able to travel back and forth between Chang'an and Ganquan? And you said it was ordered by His Majesty? How dare you!"

At this moment, every time Liu Jing spoke a word, the faces of several people turned paler.

Bing Ji and Bao Shengzhi also opened their eyes wide. If they were any fools, they would have understood the trick clearly!

Liu Jing angrily slammed the table beside him, making a loud "bang" like thunder.

"Can you shrink the distance into an inch? Or are you treating the court as a joke?"

"How dare you frame your majesty!"

Su Wen's face turned pale.

He was in a hurry to explain himself, but Zhang Gan beside him could no longer hold back and said hastily, "The second time it wasn't your Majesty's order at all. It was the Water Controller Jiang Chong who took us there."

"The Water Commissioner already had the imperial decree. He went there naturally after hearing the rumor. There was no need to ask for the imperial decree!"

"Su Wen, why is what Zhang Gan said completely different from what you said?"

Without waiting for Su Wen to answer, Liu Jing suddenly looked to the side.

"The confessions of these two persons shall be recorded in full!"

"promise!"

……

On the side, Bing Ji was frightened when he saw this.

Because he suddenly realized that he could no longer see through the grandson of Emperor Jing in front of him.

Just as I thought just now: Is he really lawless and is flaunting the reputation of offending Your Majesty?

Or is it intentional?

Your Majesty can allow a bastard grandson to run rampant in the court, but if he is a cunning person...

Thinking of this, Bing Ji continued to look, and this time he stared more carefully.

Liu Jing has already looked at Zhang Gan.

"Zhang Gan, as the Imperial Censor, His Majesty originally intended for you to investigate the behavior of Jiang Chong and others, but you went along with them. This caused discord between the monarch and his subjects, and between father and son, and almost caused unrest in the Han Dynasty!"

"It's not too much to kill all your clans!"

"Now that His Majesty has asked me to interrogate you... you are different from Su Wen and Chang Rong. They have no children and are alone after entering the palace, but you have a family behind you."

"Including An Daohou Han Shuo, you are the descendants of Han Wangxin. In the past, Emperor Taizu Gao led your ancestors to fight against Qin and established our Han Dynasty, and they were still given titles of nobility and kingship!"

"Today, you are not grateful, but instead you are plotting to murder the crown prince and even frame the emperor. These crimes are enough to kill your entire clan... without a single person left!"

Liu Jing is not threatening.

There is no need to elaborate on the ability of His Majesty to conquer the three Yi tribes.

Therefore, he changed the subject and asked again:
"Let me ask you again, who is the person who ordered you?"

There was silence in the hall.

"No one is talking?"

"Then let me ask you another question. Did anyone instruct you to frame the Crown Prince's Palace?"

There was silence again.

"Then it's still what Su Wen said just now. You agree with His Majesty?"

As soon as these words came out.

"Grandson Jing!" Zhang Gan raised his head suddenly, "No one ordered me to do this, especially not Your Majesty."

Liu Jing smiled, "It's different from Su Wen's confession. I'll record it!"

"Since you said no one was instructing you."

Liu Jing's voice turned cold, "So you guys are going to frame the prince?"

"It was Jiang Chong!" Zhang Gan's voice was trembling. "At first, we split up to search, and it was the Water Controller Jiang Chong who led his men to find the Paulownia doll. That's when we were called over to see it."

"Yes, it's Jiang Chong!" An Daohou Han Shuo also said hurriedly.

At this moment, Su Wen and Chang Rong also reacted and nodded.

"According to what you said, it was Jiang Chong who framed the Crown Prince's Palace?"

Zhang Gan gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

"record on file!"

now.

Whether it was Bing Ji, Bao Shengzhi, Dong Gongzhong, or Mang Tong, they all looked at the grandson of Emperor Jing in surprise.

The other party's intentions are now very clear.

They want to take this opportunity to let these people speak out themselves and put all the "blame" on a dead man, Jiang Chong.

In this way, he could clear the Prince's Palace of the crime of "witchcraft".

I have to say, it's a good way to reduce guilt.

A short period of time.

Even after Su Wen and Han said that they came up, it took less than an incense stick of time to finish the matter perfectly...

When Bing Ji saw this, he felt relieved.

Somewhat clever, but not enough.

I was overthinking it. Even though Emperor Jing's grandson had some brains, that was all he could do.

The dead can't speak.

But Jiang Chong was killed by you. How can you convince people that you are putting the blame on Jiang Chong?

Just thinking about it...

Sudden.

But Liu Jing spoke again, and it looked like he had no intention of ending.

"Push it to a dead person?" Liu Jing suddenly laughed, "Are you guys bullying a dead person who can't speak?"

"Do you think I will believe it? Or does His Majesty believe it?"

"If this case can be resolved so easily, why would I come here to interrogate you without stopping?"

Liu Jing smiled, but in the eyes of Zhang Gan, Han Shuo and others.

This smile was extremely cruel, as if it wanted to eat them up completely.

Sure enough, Liu Jing's voice sounded again.

"Jiang Chong is just a fugitive from the State of Zhao. He was appointed as the Commander of Water Conservancy because of His Majesty's appreciation. How could such a person be able to command in the first place..."

"One is a marquis of military merit, which even Li Guang did not get back then."

"Another censor with a promising future, who is highly valued by His Majesty."

"You two..."

Liu Jing's voice suddenly turned cold. "Even if you want to get yourself out of this, you are still an accomplice in the chaos in Chang'an! You still have to exterminate your entire clan!"

"But if you tell the truth, I may ask His Majesty to pardon your clan from being executed."

Having said that, Liu Jing looked up at the sky deliberately.

"I think the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty should also remember the old friendship. His spirit in heaven cannot bear to see the descendants of Han Wangxin being exterminated by your majesty!"

"So, these are some questions you should consider for yourselves."

Just saying.

Han Shuo suddenly looked up, and Liu Jing raised three fingers.

"Who was it that prevented Your Majesty from meeting the Crown Prince and his son, and then spread false information, exaggerating the facts in front of Your Majesty, and saying bad things about the Crown Prince? And even wrongly accused the Crown Prince of using the palace guards to expel the Taoist priests, but was deliberately spread that he was plotting a rebellion?"

After these words were spoken, Su Wen and Zhang Gan's faces turned pale.

But Han Shuo blurted out, "Su Wen! Chang Rong!"

"record on file!"

Liu Jing put down a finger and asked again:

"Your Majesty ordered you to search for witchcraft, but who escalated the situation to involve Changle Palace and even the Crown Prince's Palace?"

Seeing that they were silent, Liu Jing said, "It seems that it is true as Su Wen said just now, that His Majesty is interested..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

"Jiang Chong! Jiang Chong!" Several people hurriedly said:
Liu Jing: "Jiang Chong is dead!"

Han said with red eyes, "We have almost searched Chang'an City, even the harem, but your Majesty's headache has not healed yet, so we can only continue to investigate!"

"That means all four of them have it, and it's on record!"

Liu Jing held up his last finger, "The Crown Prince is the heir apparent. If witchcraft is discovered, can His Majesty be asked to replace him? Have you ever thought of this?"

Suddenly, after this question was asked, no one dared to answer.

Even Mang Tong, Dong Gongzhong, Bing Ji, Bao Shengzhi and others were horrified.

Liu Jing stared at him, not retreating at all.

"Say!"

"Grandson Jing, do you really want me to wait for death without a burial place?"

"I'm just asking for your opinion. Has the Han Dynasty ever had any law that wanted to punish someone?" Liu Jing said coldly, "Speak!"

Han said, gritting his teeth, even bleeding, and said in hatred: "If you want to... abolish the crown prince, of course you have to replace him with a new crown prince!"

"It seems that the ministers really have had this idea for a long time..."

"Change the new crown prince?"

Liu Jing narrowed his eyes but smiled.

He hadn't said another word yet. Sometimes, so-called ideas are more powerful and more shocking than certain confessions and evidence!
He slowly came to the top and turned to look at Lu Jie and the other two.

"Everything these four people said is recorded!"

"You can present it to His Majesty and let him see what the officials of the Han Dynasty think..."
