At the same time, the Liwang Mansion in the Imperial City.

King Li kept walking back and forth in his study.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Something must have happened in the palace!

Otherwise, Mingguan and Mingqi would not have been called into the palace by the emperor, and then there would be no information.

Then the Ning Palace and the De Palace were searched, and even the Wu Palace, which was not in the capital, was searched.

Fortunately, I didn’t make any arrangements in the Ning Palace, and I also had Mingqi to accompany me, so maybe that wasn’t the case…

But instead of Ning Wang felt that he should not take it lightly.

Because indeed, he had discussed with Zhou Ming a few months ago that he would start dealing with the emperor's two sons after the New Year was launched.

Today is the second day of the second month, and the dragon raised its head. Did Zhou Ming start like this? He was finally caught by the emperor?

If this is the case, then Mingguan will be in danger!

But Mingguan knew nothing, and he would definitely not leave any flaws, so the emperor would not be able to interrogate him and Mingqi at the same time.

Besides, with such a cunning person as Zhou Ming, he would not be caught so easily, otherwise why would he work hard to trade with him?

After thinking about it, King Li was still a little worried.

He wanted to go to the palace again and explore the slightest.

But I had already been with Lao Liu before, and now I go alone, am I a little too impatient to show off my feet?

No, no, you must stay steady!

The King of Li was breathing deeply.

He had never considered the situation where Zhou Ming handed over his guarantee letter to the emperor.

Because if that happens, it will be not only my son, but also my own.

So, things are not at the worst.

All he has to do now is to wait in anxiety, and never show off his strength!

Son, you must hold on!

As long as you hold on, they have no way to do it!

Let it go!

After we get through this level, we will win! The throne is yours!

Then the bitterness is over and the sweetness is coming!

...

"Ba...b...b...b"

The whip was whipped at Liu Mingguan, but he really clenched his teeth and didn't speak at all until he fainted.

Asked again, Liu Mingguan didn't speak anymore, so he whipped again and fainted again...

After several times, seeing Liu Mingguan's body fainting for the fifth time was covered with whip marks and blood, Xi Kan hesitated a little.

He could not have imagined that Liu Mingguan, a literati, was so tough. Even though he was seriously injured, he still insisted that he had never colluded with Zhou Ming.

Although Xi Kan still has many methods, he knew that these methods could only cause condemnation in the end, and were not what the emperor wanted.

What the emperor and ministers wanted was Liu Mingguan willingly confessing his guilt, telling all the reasons, and signing and sealing.

But now it seems a bit impossible.

After thinking about it, Xi Kan had to bite the bullet and run back to the Hall of Yangxin and tell the emperor what happened in the interrogation room.

When Emperor Jing He heard that Liu Mingguan was beaten to death, he refused to recognize him, and he still had the face to see him, so he was furious and simply went to the torture room in person.

Cao Yi and others, who were afraid of problems, quickly followed.

So many people entered the torture room where the brazier was burning hot, and they suddenly became crowded.

Liu Mingguan was also awake at this time.

When he saw the emperor coming, he struggled desperately and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I really didn't plan to kill the two princes... I was wronged! How could I have such a thought? Don't be deceived by a traitor!"

Jing Hedi looked at him with an extremely complicated expression.

There is anger, sadness, sadness, violence...

After listening to Liu Mingguan's argument, Jing and Emperor couldn't speak for a moment.

It was Cao Yi who spoke first, "Prince, whether it is Zhou Ming's self-report, the evidence he hid, and the things found in your palace, etc., it shows that you are involved...

If you have any hard words, including those wrong thoughts, just say it! After all, you and the emperor are both a family. If you speak out loud, the emperor may eventually pardon you?"

Of course the old prime minister is talking nonsense.

When this happened, the emperor was willing to spare Liu Mingguan, and no ministers in the world could spare him.

He just lured Liu Ming to confess.

But Liu Mingguan didn't do it at all. What did he confess?

Besides, he has always read the books of sages, and he cannot allow his innocence and dignity to be insulted.

So Liu Mingguan said word by word: "What else do you want to believe me? I really didn't do it! I didn't even beat me to death!"

"presumptuous!"

When he heard that Liu Mingguan had not pleaded guilty, King Su immediately scolded: "Mingguan, if a man dares to do it, he must be aware of it! Now that people have all the evidence and physical evidence, what else do you have to quibble?"

"Who is the witness?" Liu Mingguan captured a new word, "Who? Ask him to stand up... Is it Zhou Ming? I am willing to confront him!!"

"It's not Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming was ashamed of betraying the emperor, so he set fire to himself. The documents were also found in the secret room under the ruins." King Su shook his head, "It's one of your subordinates, named Li Zhuzhen. He has confessed that he gave the poison to Zhou Ming."

The singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular s

"No!!!"

Liu Mingguan screamed, and with the blood on his body, he looked extremely terrifying.

However, the emperor did not move, frowned and looked at his nephew, his eyes turning cold.

"I don't! Your Majesty...I don't..." After Liu Mingguan recovered his mind, he cried and said, "How could I do such a thing? Do you think my character is so unbearable that I have abandoned all family affection and conscience for the sake of the throne?"

Emperor Jing He didn't say anything, but just waved to Zhao Shou.

Zhao Shouming took out the letter and showed it to Liu Mingguan: "Your Highness, look at this guarantee letter."

A guard next to him took an oil lamp to illuminate it.

Liu Mingguan's face was covered with sweat and tears at this time, but he still tried hard to open his eyes and looked at the documents Zhao Shou took out.

He was shocked immediately after seeing it.

Isn't this my own handwriting?

Someone imitated my handwriting and hurt me!!

The first thought came out, but before he could ferment it, Liu Mingguan was frightened by the contents inside.

In his own tone, he gave Zhou Ming countless guarantees, ensuring that as long as he let the emperor have no queen and he would give him the benefits of heaven after he ascends to the throne.

These handwritings are not only the same as myself in front, but also the same at the back.

And the last signature is exactly the same as myself.

It would be impossible to succeed without ten or eight years of imitation.

Speaking of someone who wanted to frame themselves ten or eight years ago, is this possible?

Ten or eight years ago, the emperor had two princes!!

wrong!

There is also this thumb-press mark. They just asked themselves to rub the marks with both hands, which obviously matched them.

Who can get his thumb mark in advance?

The more Liu Mingguan thought about it, the more terrifying he felt.

He even felt that the emperor deliberately set up this situation and wanted to solve himself while his son was dead, so he would have no worries and could continue to have a child.

No no no no!

If this is the case, wouldn’t the emperor also kill Mingqi, Mingjing, and even Mingxi of Uncle Yu Su?

Isn't this crazy?

The imperial court would never tolerate him doing this!

That's not the emperor?

But who else besides him?

Could it be that I am really myself?
