Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
With a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, Song Liang pretended to be calm and came to the morning court pretending to be nonchalant.
Above the main hall, all the ministers have already taken their places.
Seeing that Song Liang was coming, they couldn't help but stop talking.
"I wonder what happened to these princes recently!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was grounded, and the fourth prince was assassinated for no reason."
"Only the Second Prince leads the troops to quell the chaos and solve His Majesty's problems!"
"As for the third prince..."
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that he would have such a quirk!"
"Hahaha, after all, you are a man of letters. How can you create literature if you don't have any hobbies?"
"Now it seems that among all the princes, only the second prince is worthy of such a big responsibility!"
"That's not what you said! The prince is still the prince after all, and he is firmly seated as the crown prince, which is not something that other princes can easily shake..."
Song Liangzhong was already playing drums in a hurry, but when he heard the discussions among these ministers, he felt even more irritable.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here..."
Seeing Emperor Liang's arrival, everyone stopped talking and knelt down to salute.
As soon as Emperor Liang sat down, he couldn't wait to ask Jiang Tian, Minister of the Ministry of War: "How is the rebellion of the horse bandits in Liangzhou?"
Jiang Tian took a step forward and sighed slightly: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince has led his troops to Liangzhou for a few days."
"only……"
"It's just that this horse bandit is very cunning. I heard that the second prince led the troops to quell the chaos, but he has stopped showing up recently!"
"Especially since they are very familiar with the terrain and environment, it is extremely difficult to catch their tail..."
Emperor Liang looked displeased and frowned immediately.
"The horse bandits are familiar with the terrain, can't the second child be familiar with the terrain?"
"Next month will be the day when the Xia Kingdom's envoys come to worship."
"In the twenty days before the Xia State delegation arrives, we must catch all the horse bandits!"
Jiang Tian looked embarrassed and grinned in pain.
But after all, he was the first to take the lead and propose that Song De lead troops to suppress it.
If the second prince cannot quell the horse bandit rebellion by then, then he himself will not be able to escape the blame!
Thinking of this, Jiang Tian silently swallowed his excuses and answered in a low voice: "Yes!"
As soon as Jiang Tiangang came back, Bao Xing, the minister of Dali Temple, couldn't wait to stand up.
"Your Majesty!"
"The tragic 'human wax case' has made great progress last night."
"All twenty-three 'Human Wax' have been found by Dali Temple. Just wait for Bai Sinian to speak and confess the real murderer behind the scenes!"
As he said that, Bao Xing glanced at Song Liang meaningfully, as if he wanted to see a hint of panic on his face.
When Emperor Liang heard this, his expression darkened, and he stared at Song Liang, who was a little guilty in front of him.
"If I remember correctly, this Bai Sinian must be the person next to you!"
"Lao San, tell me!"
"Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Song Liang's heart almost jumped out of his throat.
Especially when he met Emperor Liang's aggressive and sharp eyes, Song Liang was so frightened that his limbs became weak and his mind became confused!
Song Liang wanted to open his mouth and scream that he was wronged, but then he thought about it and recalled the words Song Huan told him.
"Father, my son is indeed guilty!"
After speaking, Song Liang suddenly took a step forward and knelt down facing Emperor Liang.
None of the courtiers expected that the third prince would admit his crime to Emperor Liang without asking any questions!
Especially Grand Master Shangguan Yi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes playfully when he saw it.
Could it be that the Third Prince was finally overwhelmed and couldn't stand the pressure, so he decided to take the initiative to recruit someone?
Emperor Liang's face was extremely ugly.
"Third brother...you..."
"You disappoint me so much!"
"As a high-ranking prince, you actually care about human life and ignore the law!"
Unexpectedly, Song Liang raised his face calmly, with sorrow written all over his face.
"Father, the reason why my son is guilty is that he is guilty of misjudgment and blindness!"
"This Bai Sinian has been following the children all the time. He has recruited children under the banner of children many times, but in fact he has used extremely cruel methods to recruit these young children..."
"If I could have seen Bai Sinian's true face earlier, then these young children might not have suffered this disaster!"
"So I'm guilty, I'm sorry for the parents of these murdered children!"
Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed in Emperor Liang's eyes.
"You still insist that this was definitely not your fault, right?"
Facing Emperor Liang's gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Song Liang felt dizzy and short of breath.
In fact, his body was unstable and he was about to fall to the ground!
But when he thought of the coping methods he had memorized one by one in front of Song Huan, Song Liang could only bite the bullet and continue acting according to Song Huan's instructions.
If you don't follow the method instructed by the fourth child, then the only thing waiting for you is death!
Song Liang bit his lips and kowtowed firmly to Emperor Liang: "My son did not do this, and I will never admit it!"
"However, Bai Sinian acted under the banner of my son, so my son cannot escape the blame for this matter."
"I plan to go to the homes of the murdered children one by one after the morning court today to apologize."
"And I intend to empty out my assets and pay all the compensation to the parents of the murdered child!"
"I hope it can comfort them in their pain of losing their son!"
As soon as the words "empty the family property" were mentioned, Song Liang couldn't help but feel distressed.
Following Song De for these years, I really didn't get much luck.
It's good to be able to save some money through hard work and use it as capital for future games.
Unexpectedly, the fourth boy was so angry that he wanted to pay for all his property as compensation!
Song Liang refused at the beginning, but Song Huan said that only by showing sincerity could Emperor Liang see his determination.
In desperation, Song Liang could only follow the instructions one by one.
Just think of this bad luck and spend your own money to eliminate it!
As long as he can get through this disaster safely, Song Liang is willing to let alone empty out his family property and be in debt!
Seeing Song Liang speaking so confidently, Emperor Liang couldn't help but be a little shaken.
"Bao Xing!"
"Wei Chen is here!"
"Did Bai Sinian, who was imprisoned, explain anything?"
Bao Xingxun reported: "Bai Sinian just kept saying that he was wronged and that he was not responsible for the incident!"
"They say that he and His Highness the Third Prince have been framed."
"During Wei Chen's interrogation last night, Bai Sinian couldn't hold on any longer."
"I said a lot of weird things, and also said that as a counselor, I have a clear conscience towards the third prince..."
Hearing this, Song Liang couldn't help but feel his heart twitching!
What does Bai Sinian mean by this?
Could it be that he couldn't stand the torture and was ready to reveal the truth?
Song Liang couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
Bai Wuyi is a scholar, but this guy can't stand the slightest test. I really misjudged him before.
Just when Bao Xingxu reported the time.
Suddenly, an urgent voice came from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty!"
"Something happened over there at Dali Temple!"
