Chapter 140 Conclusive Evidence (First Update)
"Innocent? The evidence is conclusive. You tell me you're innocent? Do you even believe it yourself?"
When the Emperor of Eastern Qin saw that the King of Wu was stubborn and refused to give in, his anger rose even higher.
What he dislikes most is someone daring to lie to him.
I also hate it when people do something but don't dare to admit it.
"Get out of my way! I need to see His Majesty. Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Just then, the sound of arguing came from outside the hall.
"What's going on? Who's causing trouble outside?"
The Emperor of Eastern Qin was already furious, and he never expected that someone would dare to cause trouble in the Imperial Study at this time.
"Your Majesty, it is Consort Liu outside. She wishes to see Your Majesty."
Yongfu, the eunuch, reported in a low voice from the side.
"Let her go."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin is currently very reluctant to see Consort Liu.
He knew why Consort Liu had come; she wanted to plead for the Prince of Wu.
"this..."
Grandpa Yongfu hesitated, unsure how to explain.
"What's troubling you? Or are you disobeying my orders?"
The Emperor of Dongqin gave Eunuch Yongfu a cold look.
"Your Majesty, it's not that this old servant is disobeying your orders, but Consort Liu has a sword pressed against my neck."
Grandpa Yongfu quickly explained.
He had no choice! He couldn't bear the responsibility if anything happened to Consort Liu.
"Fine, fine, fine. She dares to threaten to kill herself. Let her in."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin was so angry he laughed.
He never expected that Consort Liu would dare to threaten him with death.
Soon, Consort Liu was brought in.
"I see you, your majesty. May your majesty be safe."
Consort Liu quickly bowed.
"Peace and safety? With you and your son here, how can I be at peace?"
The Emperor of Eastern Qin sneered.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I already know about Jing'er's matter. I believe Jing'er will not do anything reckless."
Consort Liu quickly offered an explanation.
Although she didn't know what the King of Wu had done, she believed her son wouldn't do anything reckless.
"I won't do anything reckless. Look at the things on the ground yourself."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin was almost laughing in anger.
"Also, Consort Liu, you arrived shortly after the Prince of Wu was brought to the palace."
"How come I didn't know that Consort Liu had such extensive influence in the palace?"
"Yongfu, go and thoroughly investigate the entire palace for me."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin took this opportunity to reorganize the entire palace.
He was also thinking to himself that if it weren't for what happened today, he wouldn't have known that even Lian had people planted around him.
After hearing what the Emperor of Eastern Qin said, Consort Liu immediately picked up the books from the ground.
I want to know exactly what happened.
When she finished reading it, she was also very shocked.
Although she was in the inner palace, she knew what was happening outside.
She knew that the Ministry of Works was secretly working on something big recently, and it was definitely not a small matter.
Otherwise, how could the Emperor of Eastern Qin have gotten so angry about the Ministry of Works?
"You bastard, did you do these things?"
Consort Liu slapped the King of Wu in anger.
"Mother, I didn't do this. You have to believe me! Even if I were a scoundrel, I wouldn't be so scoundrel as to burn down the Ministry of Works."
“I will not deny what my son did.”
The King of Wu said painfully.
He still can't figure out who did all this.
They managed to present all the evidence so perfectly.
Even he didn't believe he had done these things.
"Your Majesty, Jing'er is usually very reliable in his work. I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly and clear Jing'er's name."
Consort Liu believed that her son would not do such a foolish thing.
After hearing the King of Wu's explanation, she immediately pleaded with the Emperor of Eastern Qin.
"The evidence is conclusive. All of this evidence was gathered by the Imperial Shadow Guard. Do you think the Imperial Shadow Guard would lie to me?"
The Emperor of Eastern Qin was so angry he actually laughed.
They directly stated the source of the evidence.
Upon hearing the Emperor of Dongqin say that this evidence was the result of an investigation by the Imperial Shadow Guard, he was deeply moved.
Consort Liu and Prince Wu were both stunned. They both knew what the Imperial Shadow Guards were; they were shadow guards who were only loyal to the emperor.
It was the trump card in the hands of every emperor; they would not side with anyone.
Even princes would not obey orders unless that prince ascended the throne.
Moreover, the Imperial Shadow Guard's influence is extremely vast, and any results they obtain from their investigations are absolutely reliable.
“Father, but I really didn’t do it! If you don’t believe me, you can send people to search my residence.”
The King of Wu was still unwilling to accept this; he wanted to prove his innocence.
There were indeed some secrets in his mansion that no one else could know, and he believed that no one could find that place.
Even if he is a member of the Imperial Shadow Guard, his innocence can be proven if the Imperial Shadow Guard searches him.
"Very well, I will give you this opportunity to search the Prince of Wu's residence."
When the King of Wu still refused to admit his innocence, the Emperor of Eastern Qin ordered a search of his residence in an attempt to prove his own innocence.
He wanted to see if the King of Wu could prove his innocence.
News of what happened in the palace reached Qin Wu's ears immediately.
"Is he so confident that no one can find his secret room?"
"Let our men guide the Imperial Shadow Guards."
Qin Wu sneered.
The King of Wu was too confident.
The guards received the order and left immediately.
With Qin Wu's intervention, all of the King of Wu's secrets were discovered by the Imperial Shadow Guard.
After searching the entire Prince Wu's residence, the Imperial Shadow Guards immediately took the items back to the palace.
It was handed over to the Emperor of Eastern Qin.
After reading it, the Emperor of Eastern Qin was even more furious.
"Someone, go and summon the Divine Martial King to the palace."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin ignored the King of Wu and Consort Liu and issued the order directly.
The matter concerning the King of Wu is no small matter; it involves too many people, and he fears that others will not dare to handle it.
Now, Qin Wu is the only one who can handle this matter.
Qin Wu soon arrived at the Imperial Study.
"Oh dear, what's going on? Why are Consort Liu and Prince Wu kneeling on the ground, and what's all this stuff? Has a thief broken into the Imperial Study?"
When Qin Wu entered the imperial study, he saw a mess on the floor.
They directly mocked him.
"Qin Wu, how dare you!"
King Wu was so enraged by Qin Wu's mockery that he roared in anger.
"Insolence? I've been insolent for quite some time now, are you just finding out?"
Qin Wu found a seat and sat down.
They didn't take the King of Wu seriously at all.
King Wu was speechless after being rebuked by Qin Wu's words.
After all, Qin Wu was right; Qin Wu's audacity had indeed been going on for more than just a day or two.
Moreover, it is universally acknowledged that no one in the entire Eastern Qin region is unaware of Qin Wu's madness and his disregard for rules.
But no one could do anything about him.
"Alright, Xiao Jiu, take a look."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin stopped Qin Wu and then gestured to Eunuch Yongfu to hand the items over to Qin Wu.
Qin Wu feigned curiosity and took the letter from Eunuch Yongfu's hand.
He opened and read the letters one by one.
"Ha, King of Wu, you've got some nerve! You're willing to do anything."
Qin Wu sneered after reading it.
Although he had ordered the evidence to be prepared, he didn't expect his bodyguards to be even more ruthless than him.
But these are his bodyguards, and they did a great job.
However, these things were not unfounded. King Wu had done many of these things, but he did them very secretly and in very small quantities.
So these things are a mix of truth and falsehood. As long as you investigate, you can find out that the King of Wu did indeed do them. As for how much he did, what does it matter?
"Tell me clearly what I did. Qin Wu, you can't wrong me."
When King Wu heard Qin Wu's words, he knew something was wrong; it seemed that some evidence had indeed been found.
"See for yourself. I was wondering why the weapons of the Northern Barbarians have improved so much in recent years. It turns out it was you who made them."
Do you know how many of my soldiers have died because of you?
Qin Wu stood up and kicked the King of Wu flying.
Over the years, he has lost countless soldiers because of these weapons, and he will settle accounts with the King of Wu for each and every one of them.
Not only the King of Wu, but also some others will not escape punishment.
The King of Wu was just the beginning.
