Chapter 312
Chapter 312
"Yes! Disciples from the Kongtong Sect and other Jianghu sects were tragically assassinated in Liuhe by the remnants of the Demon Sealing Clan using illusionary magic."
"Upon learning of this incident, the Inspection Department immediately intervened and conducted a thorough investigation. Not only did they completely annihilate the Demon Sealing Clan's guardian Tu Yuba Ming and his companions at Baiyun Temple, but they also discovered that Niu Peng, the former Lieutenant General of the Liuhe City Defense Battalion, was in cahoots with them."
"So, before the operation last night, I ordered my men to secretly capture Niu Peng in the capital. However, news of the operation was leaked, and my Jinyiwei were brutally killed by the remnants of the Demon Sealing Clan, and Niu Peng was rescued by the criminals."
"After the incident, the Inspection Department immediately ordered the City Defense Battalion to seal off the city and sent people to Liuhe to report. However, Ma Tao, the deputy commander of the North City Battalion, not only did not do so, but he also secretly let Niu Peng go and even harassed our Jinyiwei."
"This caused Niu Peng to leave Beijing and disappear without a trace!"
As soon as Xu Shan finished speaking, Lin Ruopu and others realized that the nature of the incident was out of their control.
"Your Majesty, this is all his own words. Ma Tao, whether he secretly let Niu Peng go and interfered with the Jinyiwei remains to be investigated."
"When I don't tell you to speak, all of you shut up."
"Xu Qing, please continue."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After saying this, Xu Shan, with his head held high, continued, "This morning, I led my troops to the North City Camp. Deputy General Ma Tao actually used mutiny as an excuse to try to stop my investigation."
"The more this happened, the more I wanted to get to the bottom of it. Sure enough, after careful investigation, I uncovered some clues. Combined with the investigation at the crime scene, we ultimately pointed the finger at Yongsheng Pawnshop."
"Your Majesty, I have lived up to your grace. In the Yongsheng Pawnshop, I killed three remnants of the Demon Sealing Clan. One of them was a high-level Demon Sealing Master who had transformed into a demon."
"Investigating this case, we found that many commanders of the City Defense Battalion had long been colluding with the remnants of the Demon Sealing Clan."
"I would like to ask your Majesty and all the upright censors and judges, I, Xu Shan, have faithfully followed the instructions of our great ancestor and executed these evil villains. What crime have I committed?"
When Xu Shan successfully linked the killing of Ma Tao to the remnants of the Demon Sealing Clan, his convincing words shocked everyone present.
Especially when he brought out the four words "Taizu's last words", Lin Ruopu and others did not dare to disobey even if they spoke eloquently.
"Is this the reason why Xu Qing caused such a scene on Xuanwu Street?" Zhu Youwei asked immediately with a smile on her face again.
"Your Majesty, if I hadn't made a scene in public and caused a scene on Xuanwu Street, the so-called truth would have been covered up by a bunch of corrupt scholars with their empty words."
"Your Majesty, treat me like a great man, and I will treat you like a great man in return."
"I will expose this truth even if I die."
When Zhu Youwei heard Xu Shan's words, her whole body was shaking with excitement.
"Good, good, good. You are indeed worthy of being my trusted minister."
"What else do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be solely based on the opinions of Captain Xu Wu. I think it is better to investigate thoroughly."
Just when Lin Ruopu was shamelessly preparing to lightly turn the page on this matter...
Bei Bohou, who arrived late, knelt down in a dramatic manner as soon as he stepped into the imperial study.
Then, he said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
"But I really didn't know that there were remnants of the Demon Sealing Clan lurking in the capital within the Yongsheng Pawnshop."
"It's even more unclear. They have already extended their tentacles to the city defense camp."
"Your Majesty, please understand!"
'boom.'
After Bei Bohou finished saying this, the whole scene was filled with excitement.
Not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.
Lin Ruopu was also planning to suppress the matter for the time being on the grounds that it was just a "family matter".
But who would have thought that Bei Bohou's words indirectly confirmed everything Xu Shan said.
"Minister Lin, this... is it just a family matter?"
'boom. ’
As he said this, Zhu Youwei slammed the memorial impeaching Xu Shan on the desk heavily on the faces of the censors and censors.
The censors and inspectors, stunned by these memorials, fell to their knees with a thud.
He said, "We are guilty, Your Majesty, please calm down," but his eyes kept glancing at the Marquis of Beibo next to him.
Even Lin Ruopu glared at him fiercely.
