Uncle, this palace is not going to sleep tonight

Chapter 271

"Prime Minister Liu, you really are a person who understands righteousness!" Chu Zili evoked a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and turned to look coldly at the 16 people who were kneeling: "My king asked you, did all of you participate in the meeting?" The embezzlement of food in Jiangnan! Answer me honestly, otherwise I will make your life worse than death!"

Those 16 people were all guilty of crimes, because they were greedy for the benefits given by Murong Mingze. It won't be a big deal to skip some food.Unexpectedly, they would have today, seeing the cruelty and coldness in Chu Zili's eyes, no matter how dare they lie, they all confessed immediately.

The Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs ordered people to give the confession to them, and asked them to draw the charges one by one, and then Chu Zili said: "All the adults have also seen that this king, Prime Minister Liu, and the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs have not used any means of extorting confessions in the three courts. The six people were voluntarily pledged, and all the people present are witnesses."

Liu Ruling said at this time: "My lord, these sixteen people have committed the most heinous crimes, but the mastermind behind them is still at large. I think the interrogation should continue!"

"Continue to interrogate? May I ask Prime Minister Liu, what do you want to interrogate? Is the person behind the scenes? But I don't think there is any behind-the-scenes person at all, they are all fabricated by them to avoid guilt!" Chu Zili teased coldly. He said: "Hundred officials don't kill famous people, this king is a prince, so now this king represents the royal family, and sentenced 16 people to death! Beheaded immediately!"

"My lord, don't!"

"My lord, please forgive me, I was just confused for a while!"

"My lord, I am willing to admit the person behind the scenes!"

……

Without waiting for the sixteen people to elaborate, Chu Zili signaled Murong Duan with his eyes, and Murong Duan ordered the guards in front of the hall to take the sixteen people out.

For this moment, he took great pains to buy the guards in front of the palace on duty today, and he wanted to drag him out as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late if Murong Mingze's news leaked out.

The shouts of the sixteen people gradually faded away, Liu Ruling sat on the chair, but his eyes were already full of anger.He wanted to stop Chu Zili's order, but he didn't have the power to blackmail the prince, so he had to watch 16 people die...

Chu Zili was triumphant, and facing all the officials, Lang Lang said: "What this king has done represents the royal family. If you don't kill those sixteen corrupt officials, how can you be worthy of the emperor's uncle canonizing me as—" "Shut up!" Jiao He, interrupted him.

When the civil and military officials heard that the voice was a woman, they quickly turned their heads to look at the main entrance of the Taiji Hall. Outside the Taiji Hall, the lotus-coloured dress raised beautiful tulle.The tulle gradually approached the entrance of the hall, and the jade-embroidered shoes of Jinxiu Phoenix stepped into the hall first, then another, and then the ring pendant jingled, and a young and beautiful woman entered the hall.She was wearing a taupe-colored palace dress, with a maiden bun on her head, and a round pink pearl with a thousand pieces of gold on it. The pearls on the light bun were swaying, and the golden thread on the gauze was shining brightly with her, hanging on her waist. A flawless beautiful jade actually reflects colorful brilliance.Behind her were two pairs of court ladies, two pairs of eunuchs, and two pairs of bodyguards. They were dazzling and luxurious!
