C461 Evidence

Just as Lin Rann expected, when his senses went down the hole, there were a few people resting at the bottom of the cave. Lin Rann was sure that these people were the men in black who had killed the criminals last night.0

With Lin Rann's order, the Imperial Army dug the hole bigger and bigger. After that, they raised their weapons and pointed at the cave entrance, letting the people inside slowly come out. The men in black inside obviously knew that they couldn't escape, and didn't even take out their weapons. One by one, they crawled out of the cave.

"Lord Chen has been caught red-handed. Please follow me. However, I will say one more thing here. Lord Chen, you are really stupid. You still need to help with the number of people sold, but now the scapegoat His Majesty wants has been found. Lord Chen has been used by those people for nothing. "

After saying this, Lin Rann didn't wait for Lord Chen to say anything. He gave the order to take Lord Chen away. After that, he didn't look for the other assassins. He understood what was going on. As long as this scene was spread to the ears of those officials, it would definitely change.

At the same time, Lord Chen was brought to the Imperial Prison. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Why did Lin Rann only arrest him and not search for other people, even though those people didn't hide the assassin in their prefecture? Very quickly, Lord Chen came up with an idea. What kind of deal did those guys make with His Majesty that they pushed him out as a scapegoat to quell His Majesty's anger?

Thinking of this, Lord Chen could not help but feel angry. He did not want to be a scapegoat. Just like that, he died in the Imperial Prison without knowing what happened. He knocked on his cell door crazily. Very quickly, the guards of the Imperial Prison were attracted over.

"I want to see His Majesty. I have a secret to report to His Majesty. As long as I see His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely let me off lightly. Quickly let me see His Majesty."

When the prison guards heard Lord Chen's words, they hurriedly informed Lin Rann of this news. They were people that Lin Rann had intervened in. Otherwise, according to normal circumstances, these prison guards would not even bother with Lord Chen's shouting. After Lin Rann heard the news from these prison guards, he asked them to bring Lord Chen to the Imperial Palace.

When they arrived at the Imperial Palace, Lin Rann was hiding behind the scenes. Su Xin sat on the throne of the left palace and pretended to be handling government affairs. When the guards pushed Lord Chen to the Divine Virtue Hall, Su Xin slowly raised her head.

"I didn't expect you to be such a person, dear minister Chen. I am very disappointed. I just heard them say that you have something to report for a while. If the information you report is useful. Zhen can spare your death, but the death penalty can be exempted. It is hard to escape punishment. Chen Aiqing, do you understand this principle? "

"Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Your Majesty. Your Majesty is already very happy to spare this official's life. This official would not dare to ask for anything else."

After getting Su Xin's promise, Lord Chen was clearly very happy. She did not want to die without knowing why, even though she would be heavily punished. But so what if she could keep her name? Very quickly, Lord Chen told her everything he knew.

As Lord Chen announced the names of the officials one by one, Su Xin's hands were tightly clenched, and the veins on her hands were showing. Su Xin had never thought that the officials in the court would be so corrupt.

Just from Lord Chen's mouth, Su Xin could hear more than ten familiar names. These were the officials she was very familiar with. Among them, there were also officials that Su Xin thought were very loyal to Great Zhou Dynasty. She did not expect them to do such a corrupt thing.

After Lord Chen finished reporting all of this, he quietly knelt there alone. He did not even dare to raise his head to wait for Su Xin's hair to fall. Su Xin looked down and trembled. Lord Chen also quickly calmed down the anger in his heart.

"Since beloved Chen is able to repent, Zhen is also very pleased in his heart. Since you have already returned to the shore, Zhen will not make things difficult for you. I will send five hundred guards to protect your safety. However, in the future, you will not be an official of the dynasty. I believe you understand what I am saying. "

How could Lord Chen not understand the meaning of Su Xin's words? The five hundred guards were simply there to prevent other officials from assassinating Lord Chen. That was why they were specially sent out. However, with the protection of the five hundred guards, Lord Chen was finally no longer worried about being killed by those people who sold him out. After hearing Lin Rann's words, Lord Chen felt even happier in his heart. He had just lost his official position. As long as his life was still there.

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Majesty. Little Ming can't thank you enough. Little Ming has failed the dynasty and Your Majesty. Please send me to Yazhou, otherwise, I won't be able to convince the public."

Su Xin heard Lord Chen's words and couldn't help but smile. It seemed like this Lord Chen still had some brains. He knew that even if he didn't have an official position to exchange for his life, after he left the Imperial Prison, those officials definitely wouldn't let him go. They might as well let Su Xin send him to Yazhou. This way, he would be able to live a peaceful life.

Regarding Lord Chen's request, Su Xin naturally agreed. Under Lord Chen's gratitude, he was brought back to heaven. At this time, Lin Rann also walked out from behind the scenes. He and Su Xin looked at each other. They could see joy in each other's eyes.

Through this Lord Chen, Lin Rann and Su Xin had control over most of the crimes committed in Lingtian Mansion in the Imperial Court. Although this would cause temporary chaos in the Imperial Court for a period of time. Su Xin and Lin Rann decided to eliminate the root of the problem. As long as they could get rid of this group of corrupt officials. In the future, those officials would definitely think of what had happened today.

However, it was already getting late, so Su Xin did not invite those ministers to go on stage. After discussing with Lin Rann, they decided that it would be released very quickly on the second day of the Imperial Court. Early in the morning on the second day, the officials went on stage one after another. They were all proud of their actions of killing those criminals yesterday. In their opinion, Su Xin had no evidence to punish them now.

Wenn Shiyang also found out about what happened last night on the way to the court. He immediately cursed these idiots in his heart. Why did they kill those offending officials? Those released officials could not possibly reveal them. One should know that once they revealed them, their wives, children, and children would also receive their revenge.

However, Wenn Shiyang was powerless to turn the situation around. He could only look at them with a dispirited look in his eyes. Step by step, he was like a walking corpse as he walked into the Divine Virtue Hall. Soon, the court assembly would begin. All the ministers were standing and competing, waiting for Su Xin's arrival.
