Chapter 499 Confession
Chapter 499 Confession
"Okay, okay! Stop knocking!" The emperor's voice softened.
Although King Liang did this wrongly, but it was a filial piety, and the emperor was inevitably moved, especially when he saw the deep and shallow knife marks on King Liang's arm, and thought that this child used his own blood to make alchemy for himself, his heart softened down.
The emperor's sons are neither too many nor too few, but none can compare with King Liang in filial piety, not even the crown prince.
"Father!" King Liang took two steps on his knees and hugged the emperor's leg, "Father... my son didn't expect this matter to become so big, so I just pretended not to know about it, and my son will admit it all! Only in the future The son can no longer be filial in front of the father, the father must not work too hard and take care of his health!"
The emperor looked down at King Liang who was holding his leg and was crying. He didn't plead with him, but asked him to take care of his body. The emperor was inevitably moved. Liang Wang's head, whispered: "Okay! Don't cry!"
"Your Majesty..." Gao Demao said loudly outside the hall, "Master Fan Yuhuai, the commander of the patrol battalion, asked to see him, saying that the Wang's house in Jiuqu Lane, which was sued by the couple who beat the drum, was on fire, and many children were rescued from the Wang's house. Some of the lost children recently had their hands broken, and some had their legs cut off, which is horrible! The older ones can still tell that they are farmers in the suburbs of Shuoyang, who were robbed by robbers, and want to go back to find their parents."
The emperor and the king of Liang had a secret conversation in the palace, and no one stayed behind. Even Gao Demao didn't dare to go in rashly, so he could only report back at the gate of the palace.
The Wang family in Jiuqu Lane...
The emperor raised his brows, looked down at King Liang who was hugging him and crying bitterly, his heart moved, and he said: "You are filial, although you have done something wrong...but you are my son, and I will still protect you !"
With tears hanging on his face, King Liang looked up at the emperor, "But... but father, you've already beaten Dengwen's drum, and you can't hide it!"
The emperor looked at his stupid son, knelt down and looked at Liang Wang, and said: "You don't know anything about this matter, and it has nothing to do with you! Everything is done by the Wang family! The Wang family just sees you as a bully. Do things under your banner! You don't know anything! Remember?"
Liang Wang was slightly stunned: "But... Ke'erchen's alchemy furnace is still in the mansion, and the corpses of those children, some of which have not been transported out in time, are still in Liang Wang's mansion..."
"I am the Son of Heaven, and if I say it has nothing to do with you, it has nothing to do with you! Just remember! Leave the rest to Father!" The emperor stood up after speaking, looked at the cowardly and filial King Liang, and patted him on the head , said, "Go!"
King Liang pretended to be confused and kowtowed to the emperor, then withdrew from the hall and waited outside with Gao Demao.
After half a cup of tea, the emperor finally stepped out of the hall and walked in the direction of Liang Dynasty's study.
As soon as the emperor arrived, Fan Yuhuai went forward and set the Wang family on fire in Jiuqu Lane, and reported the missing or kidnapped children to the emperor: "The members of the Wang family have been arrested and imprisoned."
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and involves the royal family. Please send someone to Liang Wangfu to search immediately!" Yu Shi said to the emperor before, "If this is true, we should act decisively!"
Everyone present knew what to make a quick decision on, and only Yu Shi dared to say this.
King Liang looked up at the emperor, and when he received the emperor's signal look, King Liang cried quickly, "Father! Father and sons don't know anything, Father!"
Seeing King Liang kneeling tremblingly in the hall, the crown prince turned sideways and whispered to the emperor, "Father, King Liang is the younger brother of my son. My son believes that King Liang is kind-hearted, and he is definitely not the kind of person who would disregard human life and use children to make alchemy." !Father can send Lord Fan Yuhuai to the Prince Liang's mansion to collect evidence, so that King Liang is innocent!"
Upon seeing this, Lu Jin, Minister of Dali Temple, also stepped forward and said, "Yes, Your Majesty! If His Royal Highness Liang really doesn't know anything, why don't you send someone into the mansion to check it out, and don't wrong His Royal Highness Liang."
King Liang looked at the emperor in surprise and fear, his eyes were full of pleading.
The emperor pursed his lips and looked at Fan Yuhuai: "Have the members of the Wang family been interrogated?"
Fan Yuhuai was startled, then shook his head: "Not yet."
This interrogation is not the responsibility of their patrol battalion!
"Those who haven't tried the Wang's family are going to search Liang Wang's mansion...the royal family still has face if it spreads out?!" The emperor calmed down a bit with anger in his voice, "Fan Yuhuai, you brought people to surround Liang Wang's mansion. , no one is allowed in or out!"
"I take orders!" Fan Yuhuai took orders and left the hall.
The emperor caressed the golden-thread-embroidered flying dragon pillow with his fingers, and called out with gloomy eyes: "Lu Qing..."
Lu Jin, Minister of Dali Temple, stepped forward quickly: "My minister is here!"
"People from the Wang family will be handed over to you for interrogation. If it is really found that it is related to King Liang...it will not be too late to search Liang Wang's mansion!" The emperor's eyes fell on Liang Wang again, "Liang Wang should go back to the mansion first! You If you are wronged, father will definitely not let people follow you to slander you!"
"My son takes orders!"
"I accept the order!" Lu Jin kowtowed and retreated to the outside of the hall.
Lu Jin came out of the main hall and squinted his eyes at the sunny sky. The emperor's words just now were clearly determined to protect King Liang and told him.
Lu Jin clenched his fists and was about to walk down the high steps when he heard the prince call him.
He hurriedly turned around and bowed to the prince, "His Royal Highness!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lu! I hope that Mr. Lu will uphold justice for democracy. What I fear most is that the people will be cold-hearted towards the royal family, thinking that the royal family only protects their own interests and treats the people as worthless! Since ancient times, many dynasties have lost their hearts because of their failures. The hearts of the people are perishing! Master Lu...the Royal Father has entrusted the royal family to you!"
Lu Jin raised his brows, but he couldn't understand what the crown prince meant, whether it was...he hoped that he would find out that it had something to do with King Liang, or that he had nothing to do with the royal family.
The prince looked around, and then took a step forward to support Lu Jin and said, "If the King of Liang is really involved, Mr. Lu can be fair, and the royal family can not favor others, so as to win the hearts of the people."
Suddenly, Lu Jin bowed to the ground again: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will report the results of the interrogation truthfully."
The crown prince smiled and nodded: "Lu Qing, hurry up and get busy!"
Lu Jin bent over and took a few steps back, then walked towards the steps with the hem of his official uniform.
As soon as Lu Jin left the palace, he immediately ordered someone to bring the entire Wang family to Dali Temple.
The common people saw that the patrol battalion had surrounded Prince Liang's mansion in great force, and they all stared anxiously waiting for the emperor to order people to go in and search Prince Liang's mansion.
Lu Jin was still waiting in the Dali Temple for his subordinates to bring him up, but half an hour later, the subordinate who had gone to bring them up came back and told Lu Jin that the entire Wang family committed suicide in prison and left a statement of guilt.
