Chapter 1161 - 930 Truth 9_2
"But if you bite the bullet and refuse to speak, once you’re dead, she’ll be sent to the Music Bureau. The evidence is all here, and she can’t escape. Why would you bury your daughter’s future for someone else’s sake?""I... I..."
Lu Zezhong stared intently at Liu Yuheng, warning him with his eyes that if he dared utter a word, his future would be grim!
"Since you’re unwilling to speak, take him away! Hand him over to the Divine Hunter, let Youzhi interrogate him, and send his wife and daughter to the Military Camp, a reward for the soldiers who just returned from the western battle!"
"Ah..." The Princess opened her mouth slightly, she had just... "Your Majesty!"
"The Emperor’s decision is made! Take him away!"
The two Inner Guards immediately stepped forward, one on the left and the other on the right, dragging Liu Yuheng out.
"Have mercy, Your Majesty, show compassion! Have mercy, Your Majesty, spare my wife and daughter, please!"
"Drag him away!"
The Emperor had lost patience, his mind was unwavering!
"Lord Liu, the last chance, you’ve let it slip away yourself. If you’re really covering for someone, then your wife and daughter will truly be wronged!"
Ji Youze walked up to the two Inner Guards holding Liu Yuheng and stopped them.
"I... Master Ji, I’ll speak, I’ll speak, don’t send my daughter and wife to the Military Camp!"
"Now you want to speak?"
The Emperor sat high on the Dragon Throne, coldly questioned.
"Have mercy, Your Majesty! I beg you to show compassion!"
"I only ask for death, spare my wife and daughter!"
"If you speak the truth, the Emperor will naturally agree, but if you remain obstinate, then don’t blame the Emperor for being merciless!"
"I’ll speak! I’ll tell everything."
Lu Zezhong saw Liu Yuheng like this, and his whole body involuntarily collapsed to the ground, finished, everything was finished!
At this moment, even if he glares until his eyes pop out, Liu Yuheng would no longer look at him!
"Speak up! If what you say is true, the Emperor will fulfill your wishes!"
"It was thirteen springs ago, when I was just appointed as Governor of Shuntian Prefecture, serving as an official in the capital, but such officials as the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture could encounter the emperor’s relatives in any street riot case!"
Today I offend this royal relative, tomorrow I’ll encounter court nobles, and within a mere half year, I was already messed up with my head spinning."
"Sometimes I truly didn’t want to continue, but the position of Governor of Shuntian Prefecture was one I had struggled hard to attain, being from a humble background, my family was impoverished.
No one from above looked out for me, nor was there anyone below to use!"
"With nothing at your disposal, how did you become Governor of Shuntian Prefecture?
Father is not a muddle-headed emperor, he wouldn’t appoint you to such an important position in the capital simply because you were incapable!"
The Emperor was indignant, this man was truly foolish!
"Indeed! I was puzzled too, clearly many people were stronger, more capable than I, yet why did the late Emperor assign my name to this position, which was neither high in rank nor significant, but allowed frequent encounters with the Emperor!"
"Imbecile!"
The Emperor was extremely upset, truly a foolish pig!
"Indeed! I was just a fool, only after many years did I comprehend the Emperor’s painstaking intentions!
But it was too late, by then I was already aboard Lu Zezhong’s pirate ship!"
Lu Zezhong’s body quivered as he knelt beside!
"You... you’re lying! This has nothing to do with me..."
"Shut him up!"
The Emperor coldly commanded.
An Inner Guard stepped forward, pressed Lu Zezhong’s jaw, and directly dislocated it.
"Continue!"
The Emperor gazed at Liu Yuheng.
"Yes!"
Liu Yuheng inhaled deeply, and continued slowly.
"Years later, I became the Administrator of South Road, later concurrently the Inspector of South Road, catching all legal and political matters, I finally understood the Emperor’s painstaking intentions in initially choosing me!
As Governor of Shuntian Prefecture, I should have been the Emperor’s eyes and ears; I shouldn’t have boarded someone else’s ship!
But what good does it do now?
I had already become a corrupt official, devising ways to make money every year, bribing others, pleading for my life!
The reason my family could return to the capital this time was that I no longer wanted to continue like this, I begged multiple times for a position in the capital that would allow me to return, wishing to be a capital official, and not one who thinks of ways to make money!"
"So you bribed the Li Family! To Gift-bearer Li Xu?"
"Yes! I sent money to Li Xu multiple times, and previously, the documents delivered from the Divine Hunter platform, recording the interrogations of Ping’an Pharmacy in the records, were accurate without the slightest error!"
