Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl - Chapter 947

Chapter 947: Zhang Ronghua’s Counterattack

Li Yuliang stroked his beard and revealed a smug expression.

“Take him away!” Zhang Ronghua said.

The Human Emperor Guard came in again and rushed up to him roughly. He grabbed his shoulder and rushed out.

This matter was almost over. The remaining ones would be interrogated by the Grand Primordium Demon God. It was time to go to the Supreme Court.

The same scene happened again.

How long had it been since Bai Yichang and the others were captured? Li Yuliang had also been taken down. Not only did the news spread in the Imperial Censorate, but it also went viral among the various departments.

In the palace.

The atmosphere was heavy and depressing.

Du Chengming and Bi Fangjie sat across the table. There were no outsiders present, so it was convenient for them to talk.

“He even thought highly of Li Yuliang in the morning court session. It’s only been half a day, and not only did he fall, but even the Shan family was captured in one fell swoop.”

“Have you investigated the charges?” Du Chengming’s expression was grave.

“The news is very tightly sealed!”

” We underestimated Zhang Ronghua. Even if Li Yuliang didn’t make a move this time, he would have done it. The only lucky one is to take down Wu Jinxiu. It’s a good trade.”

Bi Fangjie voiced his worries.” The three fires have been set ablaze. Each one is bigger than the last. We’ve completely gained a firm foothold. No one dares to go against Zhang Ronghua. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t make a move again. They should restrain themselves appropriately. The officialdom isn’t just about fighting. We should unite more like-minded people. But he won’t. As long as he’s still in the Imperial Censorate, he’ll continue to bite people like a mad dog.”

“The Empress has given a death order. We must capture him no matter what!” Du Chengming’s face was cold.

Bi Fangjie was silent. Li Yuliang had just fallen, and the case was not over yet. If they acted now, if Zhang Ronghua fabricated false evidence and dragged them down, they would be imprisoned for a period of time. When they were released, they would probably lose their position.

Moreover…

He was also very capable and smart. He had investigated more than once in secret, but there were no clues at all.

“I’ll leave this matter to you!” Du Chengming said firmly.

Bi Fangjie felt bitter. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn’t. He didn’t agree or reject.

“This is the Empress’s intention.”

..

Supreme Court.

The three departments sent their own people to interrogate him.

Under Ding Yi’s intervention, Lu Junxiu and Mu Xuanqing were also involved. The former was transferred to the Ministry of Justice, while the latter was Pei Caihua’s subordinate. He was transferred to the Supreme Court. Including himself, there were Zhang Ronghua’s subordinates in the three divisions.

Wu Jinxiu had already been stripped of her official body. She was wearing a white prison uniform, and her hands and feet were tied up with iron chains as she knelt on the ground.

By now, Yang Haowen’s story had been pretty much explained.

The chief judge, Zhou Ran, was not satisfied with this result. The higher-ups had already informed them to pry open Wu Jinxiu’s mouth and use this opportunity to take down the Crown Prince, Zhang Ronghua, and more people. Due to Ding Yi’s presence, it was not good to remind them openly, so they could only use this method.

Bang!

Zhou Ran grabbed the gavel and slammed it on the table. A loud sound was heard. His voice was cold.” It seems that you won’t confess if I don’t torture you. Come on, serve me with torture.”

Wu Jinxiu was unhurried.” That’s what happened. If you don’t believe me, feel free to send someone to investigate.”

The two Golden Scaled Mysterious Heavenly Army soldiers stepped forward and were about to begin the torture.

“Extorting a confession through torture?” Ding Yi looked over coldly.

Zhou Ran had already lost his patience. He replied with a tough attitude,” The criminal’s attitude is bad. He refuses to speak. He won’t teach him a lesson. He still wants to hold on.”

“Yang Haowen’s matter has been investigated. What else do you want to interrogate? If there is evidence, I will not ask. If there is no evidence, if you dare to touch him, you will be abusing your power.”

Their eyes met.

Looking at the cold glint in Ding Yi’s eyes, Zhou Ran was furious, but he had no choice.

Waving his hand, he dismissed the two Golden Scale Mysterious Heavenly Army soldiers. He was determined to interrogate them and not get anything else out of them. He decided to give them a heavier sentence and see how they would interfere.

The gavel slammed heavily again.” The criminal Wu Jinxiu deliberately let two criminals go when she was an official. She knowingly broke the law. Her crime was increased by one degree. All her property was confiscated. Wu Hang’s official position was removed and he was demoted to a commoner. Everyone in the Wu family was arrested. The men were sent to the border and the women were sent to the school…”

Bang!

Before he could finish, the door was kicked open.

Zhou Ran’s expression turned cold. He could no longer suppress his anger. Just as he was about to curse, he saw Zhang Ronghua walk in with an expressionless face and a knife-like gaze that contained a powerful pressure. He swallowed all the words that were on his lips.

“What did you just say?” Zhang Ronghua stopped beside Wu Jinxiu. I didn’t hear you clearly. Say it again.”

He suppressed his fear.

Zhou Ran tried his best to calm himself down and not show any panic.

However, Zhang Ronghua’s reputation was too fierce, and there was still a hint of fear in his eyes. It wasn’t that he couldn’t do it, but that he was too strong. Just by standing there casually, a huge official’s prestige could be felt. He was clearly just the Left Imperial Censor, and his official prestige was comparable to that of a cabinet elder. It made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. They wanted to calm down, but the words he said betrayed the nervousness in their hearts.” He’s, he’s being convicted.”

“Li Yuliang, along with the Shan family, will be executed!” Zhang Ronghua said.

He walked to the side and sat beside Ding Yi.

“This official is only here to take a look. Continue.”

Zhou Ran was almost scared out of his wits. Li Yuliang had fallen just like that? What was going on with the Shan family? And even exterminating nine generations, this, this was too ruthless, right?

If he were to be convicted as he did just now, he would definitely offend Zhang Ronghua. Once he raised his butcher’s knife, he would also be in trouble.

With his ruthlessness, he could even sentence his entire family to death. Once they fell into his hands, it would be a light punishment for them to be exterminated. F * ck, his life was more important.
