As soon as Mei Guangtao's words came out, the entire court was silent for a moment.

Luo Yanzhi couldn't help but exclaimed.

"how can that be?!"

Mei Guangtao looked at him and said calmly: "This is the confession of the kidnappers. They were there on the day the fire broke out in the incense hall. These are their confessions."

He drew a stack of offerings from the wide sleeves.

Immediately, an eunuch stepped forward to take the confession with both hands, and then presented it to the emperor.

Luo Qinghan was very clear about the contents of the confession.

He just glanced at it and motioned for the six elders to take a look.

The confession was transferred to the hands of the elders.

They read the contents of the confession one by one, and their expressions became very ugly.

Luo Yanzhi didn't know what was written in the confession, but he could see from the reaction of the elders that those confessions were not good for Duke Hongguo.

He didn't care about Duke Hongguo's life or death, but he had just spoken for Duke Hongguo, when it was revealed that Duke Hongguo had set fire to kill him. The slap in the face came too fast, and he couldn't keep his face down.

He couldn't help but object.

"Those kidnappers are desperadoes, how can they believe their words?!"

Mei Guangtao: "These kidnappers are not ordinary desperadoes, they are actually the killers of the Blood Rain Tower."

This remark once again caused a small commotion among the officials.

When Emperor Sheng Yong was still in power, he had issued an imperial decree to sweep away the evil forces, and the Blood Rain Tower was the key target, and was forced to dare not show his face.

I thought that this civilian killer organization had disappeared, but I never thought that they were actually hiding at the feet of the emperor.

As long as the officials present thought that they once lived in the same city as a group of killers, and they might even have passed by the killers, they couldn't help chilling down their spines.

Luo Yanzhi scratched his neck and said, "So what?"

Mei Guangtao: "Xixiang Pavilion is the stronghold of Xueyulou in Shengjing City. The reason why Duke Hongguo set fire to kill people in Xixiang Pavilion is to kill people. He doesn't want people to know that he secretly colluded with Xueyulou. "

If the previous words were just to make everyone stunned, these words really shocked their whole family!

The dignified grandfather of the country actually colluded with the Jianghu Killer Organization. Who would believe it when he said it? !

This time, without waiting for Luo Yanzhi to ask another question, Mei Guangtao took out an account book directly from his sleeve.

"This is the account provided by Ye Jiuming, the head of Xueyulou. In this account book, the amount of money that Xueyulou gave to Duke Hongguo is clearly stated, at least three million taels per year, and three years in ten years. Ten million taels, in addition to fields, real estate, antiques, calligraphy, paintings, etc., the amount is very staggering.”

The account book was taken over by the eunuch and passed on to the emperor.

The hard evidence is in front of him, and Luo Yanzhi can no longer say anything to refute.

He just felt a burning pain in his face.

Knowing that the other party was holding strong evidence in his hand, he should not have jumped out in a hurry to speak for Duke Hongguo.

Now not only did he lose face in front of civil and military officials, but he also seemed to be in the same group as Hongguo Gong.

He closed his mouth resentfully, and awkwardly retreated to the corner, daring to speak again.

After Luo Qinghan looked at the account book, he instructed in a low voice.

"The Duke of Hongguo colluded with the Blood Rain Tower, corrupted and accepted bribes, committed arson, and committed serious crimes. For the time being, he will be taken into custody by the Dali Temple. All the family members in the Duke of Hongguo's mansion are under supervision. The case will be handed over to the three divisions for joint trial.”

Hundreds of officials bowed to each other.

With Hongguo Gong in front of him, everything else became a piece of cake.

The noisy morning was finally over.

When the officials walked out of the council hall, their moods were different.

Some were amazed, some were uneasy, and some were pondering something.

Luo Yanzhi walked the fastest.

I lost a big face to him this morning. At this time, he didn't want to see anyone, just wanted to get out of here quickly.

However, Luo Yechen refused to let him go, and shouted in a particularly loud voice.

"King Jingxian, walk slowly! I have something to tell you!"

This voice shouted out, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.

Luo Yanzhi was almost dying of embarrassment being watched by so many people.

He could only stop, try to pretend that nothing was wrong, and bowed his hands to the other side.

"What advice does the emperor have?"

Luo Yechen smiled smugly while admiring his embarrassed look.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to remind you that you should be careful when you speak in the future, and don't dare to say anything. You know that there is no king under the county king. Do you understand what I mean?"

Luo Yanzhi gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had to force a smile on his face.

"I was impulsive just now. I thought Duke Hongguo was wronged, but I didn't expect the truth to be like that. This time I learned a lesson, and I won't talk to others casually in the future."

Luo Yechen put on the appearance of a good big brother and persuaded earnestly.

"You are too naive. You always think that the whole world is a good person, but you forget to know who you are, but you don't know your heart. Some people look bright and beautiful on the surface, but they are actually rotten on the inside."

When it came to the last sentence, Luo Yechen patted the other party's shoulder deliberately, which seemed to mean something.

Luo Yanzhi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

He used to think that Luo Yechen was a scumbag idiot, but he didn't expect that now this scumbag would dare to mock him openly and secretly!

There were officials passing by, and they bowed their hands to Luo Yechen, showing respect. As for Luo Yanzhi, they were selectively ignored by the officials.

Everyone's eyes are not blind, and it can be seen that the emperor has no good feelings for King Jingxian. In contrast, the King of England is obviously more favored.

Isn't the best thing for people in the officialdom is to see the wind and the rudder?

Since the King of England is more promising, everyone is naturally more willing to sell the King of England.

Luo Yechen enjoyed the feeling of being complimented.

He greeted the officials, and after Luo Yanzhi had enough of his eldest brother's profile, he left triumphantly.

Luo Yanzhi's hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists, because the force was too hard, the blue veins on the back of his hands bulged.

The humiliation he suffered today will be repaid tenfold in the future!

The incident in the courtroom soon spread to Changle Palace.

When the Empress Dowager heard that Duke Hongguo was imprisoned in Dali Temple, she almost fainted.

Nvshi Kong quickly took out an elixir, and after the warm water was dissolved, it was carefully fed to the Empress Dowager.

After taking the medicine, the Empress Dowager's heartbeat finally became less rapid, and her breathing gradually eased, but her face was still very ugly.

With the help of Lu Xinyao, she sat up with difficulty.

"Go and invite the emperor to come over, Aijia has something to tell him."

Nvshi Confucius responded respectfully and quickly left Changle Palace.

She went to the imperial study to ask to see the emperor.

The emperor heard that the empress dowager wanted to see him, but said lightly.

"I'll go when I'm done with these memorials in my hand."

Even though Nvshi Kong was in a hurry, she didn't dare to urge him at this time, so she could only quietly stand by and wait.
