Chapter 106 - 110

Start from the beginning
                                    

Si Yuhan swallowed the pulp that he fed him, but his eyes fell on Qi Cheng not far away.

The blank gaze made Qi Cheng shiver and he quickly retracted his hostile look towards Ke Ruan.

These people were undoubtedly Lei Zhen’s henchmen. As long as they confessed, they could definitely topple him.

Moreover, the settlement of the matters of Qi family also had to start with these people.

Chapter 107: Confession

“He is the crown prince. Brother Qingye is unable to control him,” Qi Cheng held his hand and refused to let go. Caught in his own emotions, Lin Qingye didn’t sense the body contact between them.

How could Qi Cheng let go of such an intimate moment with Lin Qingye? People who practiced martial arts usually wore casual robes with silver wrist bands.

The skin on Lin Qingye’s hand was as white as the silver bands.

Qi Cheng’s fingertips gently rubbed the skin on his wrist. Qingye also practiced martial arts. How could his skin be so tender, so tempting?

Soon Lin Qingye composed himself and took back his hand. Qi Cheng was a little disappointed that their contact time had been a little short.

Lin Qingye took up the letters, slapped it back on the table and said coldly, “Take a good look at it. This alone will cost you a thousand deaths to offset your crimes.”

The jailor beside him showed the various letters on the table to them. Their expressions changed when they read them.

“General Lin, these are not ours.”

“Yes, General Lin, we are wronged.”

……

For a time, the cell was filled with pleadings of grievance. Ke Ruan stopped his movements and looked at those people coldly.

Back then, because of these people, Qi Cheng’s family were all killed, which was why Qi Cheng had such strong hatred against them. And the hatred, in the end, all fell on the royal family.

Indeed, his father had committed mistakes, and he had no position to exonerate him, but since ancient times, if it weren’t for these treacherous court officials, how could there be so many dim-witted emperors? Not every emperor was able to associate only with wise ministers and keep away from mean ones.

The reason he almost died in Qiao Mountain was also because of these people. If those things hadn’t happened, Qi Cheng might be a general like Lin Qingye and serve the country.

It was even more unforgivable that they were still unrepentant.

Ke Ruan stood up and looked at them. “All of you are high-ranking ministers in the court. Of course, I know that you are all Lei Zhen’s followers. So far, do you still plan to follow this prime minister? Do you really think that he has superb power?

These people became silent.

Their usual political views were the same as that of prime minister, and they were indeed on his side.

“Now that the status of prime minister is getting higher and higher. Do you think that my father doesn’t want to get rid of him? It is only because he can’t find any evidence. But…” Ke Ruan paused for a moment and saw the temporary joy on their faces. He pulled the corner of his mouth and mocked, “Your proofs of crimes are all here. If we get rid of you, will prime minister lose a lot of confidants?”
