Chapter 173: Death-Free Edict

Ning Chen was also a little surprised. He thought Ma Kaicheng would do the same as Steward Ding, but he didn't expect him to sell out the Left Prime Minister as soon as he opened his mouth.

The smugness in the Left Prime Minister's eyes immediately disappeared, and his face turned pale.

Emperor Xuan's eyes were cold, "Say it again!"

Ma Kaicheng said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the criminals followed the order of the Left Prime Minister and joined forces with Zhang Yuancang to dig for gold."

"And Ning Chen's mother was also killed by the criminals under the order of the Left Prime Minister."

The ministers were in an uproar again!

Emperor Xuan glanced at Ning Chen, only to see that Ning Chen clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned white.

He finally understood why Ning Chen wanted to bite the Left Prime Minister to death?

"Why did the Left Prime Minister want to murder Ning Chen's mother?"

Ma Kaicheng said in a trembling voice: "It was the request of the Left Prime Minister's daughter Chang Ruyue. The Left Prime Minister ordered the criminal to get rid of Ning Chen and his mother."

"At that time, the criminal found a doctor, who made Ning Chen's mother's condition worse and died... The doctor saw that Ning Chen was young and couldn't bear to kill him."

"Afterwards, when he learned that Ning Chen was still alive, the Left Prime Minister ordered the criminal to kill the root... The criminal went to Changshou Village again, but failed, because Ning Chen was secretly protected by a master."

Ning Chen was stunned. He was protected by a master, how could he not know it?

His eyes fell on Ma Kaicheng, trying to restrain his murderous intent.

The Emperor Xuan asked coldly: "Do you have any evidence for what you said?"

Ma Kaicheng shook his head, "The criminal doesn't, but what the criminal said is true, please Your Majesty!"

"You are talking nonsense, this is slander."

The Left Prime Minister roared.

He looked at Emperor Xuan, "Your Majesty, I am innocent, I have no evidence, this is slander."

"This Ma Kaicheng did work in my house, but I don't know what he said."

"Butler Ding just said that they joined forces and did these wrong things behind my back."

"Some time ago, Ma Kaicheng's family suddenly disappeared... I thought someone had kidnapped his family and forced Ma Kaicheng to slander me."

Emperor Xuan thought for a moment, this situation is not impossible.

He looked at Ma Kaicheng, "Is that so?"

"Every word the criminal said is true, please judge by your majesty!"

Ning Chen tried to keep himself calm.

Ning Chen decided to nail Zuo Xiang to death with the last blow.

"Come on, bring Du Langjun to me."

Ning Chen roared.

Zuo Xiang's pupils dilated, and he collapsed on the ground.

Poison Langjun, who was tied up like a dumpling, was brought over.

Ning Chen said loudly: "Your Majesty, all the gentlemen...Is this poisonous man familiar to everyone?"

"He has dozens of lives on his shoulders, and he even poisoned the family of the last governor of the capital."

"The Supervisory Department has been tracking this man...and this man was able to escape the Supervisory Department's search because he was protected by the Left Prime Minister."

"This man was captured by me in the secret room of the Left Prime Minister's mansion."

The ministers were shocked.

The Emperor Xuan's face was ashen.

Ning Chen shouted sternly: "Left Prime Minister, do you know your crime?"

The Left Prime Minister trembled.

He got up and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I am innocent, I am innocent!"

"How did this Poison Man appear in my house? I have no idea... Oh, it must be Steward Ding, he hid Poison Man in my house."

"Your Majesty, and Ma Kaicheng, who was coerced and slandered me."

"I am the left prime minister of Daxuan, and there are too many people who want to kill me... They have evil intentions and want to shake the foundation of Daxuan. This is a conspiracy, a naked conspiracy."

Ning Chen said sternly: "You dare to cry out for injustice when you are about to die?"

"Poison Man , tell me what you know... If you tell me the truth, I will give you a quick death. If you hide something, I will let you know my method. "

"There is a way to die, called lighting a sky lantern... It is to make a hole in the head, pass a hemp rope through it, and then light it... People will not die immediately. "

"In this process, you will experience the passing of life bit by bit. Until the essence and blood are burned out, people will slowly die in endless pain and torture. "

Not to mention Du Langjun, even the civil and military officials present shuddered.

Ning Chen asked sternly: "Tell me, why did you poison the family of the former governor of the Kyoto Yamen? Why did you kill me? Who instructed you to do it?"

Du Langjun trembled, and his snake-like triangular eyes were full of fear.

He knew he was dead.

But the way Ning Chen said to die was too scary.

"Yes, it was the left prime minister who instructed me to do it. "

The ministers were in an uproar again, with shock on their faces.

The left prime minister's face was pale, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. "Your Majesty, I am innocent, I am innocent... What they said is just empty talk, and there is no real evidence."

"You want real evidence, okay... I'll give it to you!"

Suddenly, a voice full of hatred sounded.

Everyone looked over and was shocked!

Even Ning Chen was stunned!

Because the person who spoke was Ning Ziming.

Ning Ziming strode forward and knelt in front of Emperor Xuan, "Your Majesty, I can testify that everything they said is true."

"The crimes committed by the left prime minister are too numerous to list... I have evidence, please allow me to go and get the evidence."

Emperor Xuan stared at Ning Ziming and said in a deep voice: "I approve! Geng Jing, you go with Ning Aiqing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ning Ziming stood up and looked at Ning Chen with a relieved smile on his face, "You have grown up, but you are still too impetuous... But it doesn't matter, your father will help you make this last move."

Ning Chen was stunned!

When Ning Ziming stood up, the left prime minister was completely panicked.

He said hysterically: "Ning Ziming, are you crazy?"

"Yes, I have been crazy for a long time... I have been crazy since the day Ning Chen's mother died!"

"I have waited for this day for too long... I can't move you alone. Now that my son has grown up, I have no worries."

Ning Ziming also roared hysterically.

The left prime minister said angrily: "You will die too!"

"Hahaha..." Ning Ziming laughed wildly, "I should have died a long time ago. Today, I will drag you to hell with me."

Ning Ziming followed Geng Jing away.

Ning Chen's mind was in a mess.

The ministers whispered.

Suddenly, Ning Chen felt a chill between his eyebrows.

He looked up and saw snowflakes floating in the air.

Emperor Xuan glanced at Ning Chen worriedly.

"Ning Chen, are you okay?"

Ning Chen shook his head slightly and forced a smile.

He probably had a guess in his mind.

Ma Kaicheng said that when he was young, there was someone secretly protecting him, who should be sent by Ning Ziming.

Including Ma Kaicheng, it was Ning Ziming who took him away first.

Ning Ziming has been forbearing.

But he still has many things he can't figure out, many doubts, and he needs Ning Ziming to answer them personally.

About half an hour later, Ning Ziming and Geng Jing came back.

Ning Ziming held a booklet in his hand and said loudly as he walked:

"In the fourth year of Rende, there was a severe drought in Bingzhou, and no crops were harvested. The left prime minister embezzled 70% of the relief grain money, resulting in starvation everywhere in Bingzhou. The people were forced to rebel, and then troops were sent to suppress them, with millions of casualties."

"In the same year, the left prime minister's close relatives occupied 50,000 acres of good farmland in Yunzhou. The people had no way to survive and wrote a blood oath of all people, but the left prime minister sent troops to suppress them for the crime of treason, with thousands of casualties."

"In the sixth year of Rende, the left prime minister secretly accepted ten beauties from the king of Nanyue, 500,000 taels of gold, and gave them a border defense map, which led to the defeat of our border army and the loss of more than 20,000 soldiers."

The civil and military officials were furious.

Each of these was a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations.

Ning Ziming continued: "In the ninth year of Rende, the second prince of Daxuan suddenly died, and the culprit was the left prime minister."

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Emperor Xuan stood there in a daze, his whole body trembling violently.

The second prince, who had been clever and gifted since childhood, was Emperor Xuan's favorite prince.

But he died suddenly, and Emperor Xuan was heartbroken.

If the second prince was still alive, the crown prince would not be the current prince.

Ning Ziming walked to Emperor Xuan, knelt down, presented the evidence with both hands, and pleaded: "Your Majesty, all the evidence of Zuo Xiang's crimes is recorded here. He has committed countless crimes."

"I am also involved in these serious crimes... I don't ask for anything else, I just ask Your Majesty to spare my sons for the sake of my meritorious evidence. They are completely unaware and innocent... Please show mercy!"

Emperor Xuan took the evidence, his fingers were trembling.

He flipped through a few pages, his face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out, and his whole body was trembling.

Everyone was silent, and everyone could feel the terrible murderous aura on Emperor Xuan at this time.

Emperor Xuan's eyes fell on the left prime minister. He couldn't hold back his anger and kicked him.

The left prime minister was like a mountain of flesh. Emperor Xuan didn't kick him, but he staggered a few steps and almost fell.

Eunuch Quan was so scared that his face changed. He hurriedly supported Emperor Xuan, "Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down... The dragon's body is the most important."

Ning Chen frowned and looked at Ning Ziming.

Ning Ziming's actions put the entire Ning family in trouble.

He had military merits and was favored by His Majesty, so he should be fine.

But Ning Ziming and Chang's mother and son are probably dead.

Ning Chen squatted down, looked at Ning Ziming who was kneeling on the ground, and asked word by word: "Why?"

Ning Ziming looked at him with a look of relief, "Because you have grown up, your father is relieved!"

"If you don't have military merits, your father may not hand over this evidence until his death... Now you have the ability to protect yourself, and you only need this last step to kill the left prime minister. How can your father watch you fail?"

Ning Chen was about to continue asking, but heard Emperor Xuan said angrily: "Come on, put this dog thing in the death row."

"Nie Liang, you immediately bring people to search the prime minister's mansion for me."

"Minister, obey the order!"

"Geng Jing?"

"Minister is here!"

"You personally interrogate him, and all the relevant people will be arrested and put in the death row... If anyone obstructs, I allow you to kill first and report later."

Geng Jing hurriedly said: "Minister, obey the order!"

Putting in the death row means that he will definitely die.

The left prime minister suddenly got up from the ground, tore open his clothes, took out a piece of yellow brocade from his arms, and shouted:

"I have a death-free edict granted by the late emperor. Who dares to touch me?"

Everyone was shocked!

No one knew that the left prime minister actually had a death-free edict granted by the late emperor!

The left prime minister was very proud, "I have saved the late emperor from danger many times. The late emperor took pity on me and granted me a death-free edict... No matter what crime I have committed, you cannot kill me."

The left prime minister showed the death-free edict to everyone.

The emperor looked very ugly. It was indeed the handwriting of the late emperor.

Zuo Xiang was a little crazy, "Who dares to kill me?"

He looked at Ning Chen fiercely, "I have worked hard and made great contributions to Daxuan... I didn't expect that I would fall into the hands of a bastard like you in the end. I don't accept it, I don't accept it."

"I killed your mother. You want to avenge your mother, but you can't kill me, hahaha... You can't kill me!"

Ning Chen's eyes were cold, and his eyebrows were full of murderous intent.

But Geng Jing held Ning Chen's shoulders tightly to prevent him from doing stupid things.

Zuo Xiang had a death exemption edict granted by the previous emperor, and even His Majesty could not kill him... If Ning Chen killed Zuo Xiang in an impulse, he would definitely die.

But at this moment, Ning Ziming stood up, looked at Ning Chen, and said, "Father will not let you lose!"

After speaking, he pulled out the sword from Ning Chen's waist, and then chopped it towards Zuo Xiang.

Swish! ! !

The death exemption edict in Zuo Xiang's hand was split into two.
