royal palace.
Cao Pi's roar suddenly came from the palace
"I am the emperor, how dare these bastards talk about me like this?"
"I wonder what happened to make His Majesty so angry?"
Sima Yi entered the palace and said cautiously.
"Zhongda, Yancai, you came just in time!"
Cao Pi, still angry, ordered the eunuch beside him to hand a stack of papers to Sima Yi and Zhu Shuo.
After the two of them looked at it, they suddenly realized.
These papers were submitted by spies from the school affairs office, and the words and deeds recorded on them were all the words and deeds of the courtiers.
As Yang Ling said, almost all officials could see that what happened today was deliberately framed by Cao Pi.
Although they didn't say anything openly, their private remarks were full of disdain for Cao Pi.
After all, Yang Ling's contribution to Cao Pi and Wei lies there.
Cao Pi used such despicable methods, how could he not make them feel sad.
Sima Yi and Zhu Shuo looked at each other and coughed lightly.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. As long as the evidence is found in the future, they will naturally not say anything more."
"What you said makes sense."
Cao Pi nodded slightly, feeling much less angry.
"Yancai, you have to hurry up and get the results of the trial tonight!"
Yang Ling has a high prestige in the court, so he must find evidence as soon as possible and take action against him.
If it drags on, I'm afraid the nights will be long and the dreams will be many!
"I obey!"
Zhu Shuo accepted the order with his hands raised.
After bidding farewell to Cao Pi, Zhu Shuo did not dare to neglect and immediately went to the prison.
"Meet the general!"
Seeing Zhu Shuo arriving, several jailers quickly saluted him.
"No gifts!"
Zhu Shuo waved his hand and asked in a low voice,
"How's the inquiry going?"
"Report to General, we just tortured them, but they didn't speak."
"waste!"
After hearing this answer, Zhu Shuo was obviously very dissatisfied.
He pushed open the cell door and went straight to Mi Zhu and Mi Fang who were tied up with five flowers!
"There is an old saying in China that a man who knows the current affairs is a wise man. I think the various instruments of torture at present will be able to pry open Shilang Mi's mouth!"
"But I still hope that you two can tell the truth, so that you can avoid the pain of flesh and blood!"
Zhu Shuo fiddled with the Xingju in his hand and said expressionlessly.
"Reporting to the leader, we brothers have already said what we can say, and we don't know anything else."
Mi Zhu pretended to be calm and honest.
If you confess, you will be lenient, and you will be jailed.
He refused to be strict and went home to celebrate the New Year.
Mi Zhu knew this truth very well.
Once they follow Cao Pi and Zhu Shuo's wishes and bring trouble to Yang Ling, then Yang Ling will definitely be in big trouble.
If Yang Ling falls, how can the Mi family, which has no backers but huge wealth, survive alone?
"very good!"
Zhu Shuo ignored Mi Zhu and nodded to the soldiers on the side.
"Pa bang bang..."
A series of whipping sounds were heard, mixed with the screams of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang.
Not long after, although the two of them were sweating profusely in pain, they still had no intention of letting go.
"Zhu Shuo, both of us brothers are officials of the imperial court. If you use such torture on us, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will pursue you?"
Mi Zhu gritted his teeth and said.
When Zhu Shuo heard this, he smiled disdainfully.
Investigate?
Just kidding, don’t you know that His Majesty asked me to beat you into submission?
However, Mi Zhu's words also gave Zhu Shuo a wake-up call.
If he really beats these two brothers to death, I'm afraid His Majesty won't let him go either.
It’s time to think of a way to get them to plead guilty.
Zhu Shuo pondered and kept looking at the Mi brothers.
Suddenly, he noticed that Mi Fang's eyes were evasive and her expression seemed to be a little fearful.
He instantly had an idea in his mind and waved his hand,
"Someone, separate the two of them and hold them in separate cells!"
"Here!"
Several jailers stepped forward and took Mi Zhu out.
When Mi Fang was the only one left, his expression became more frightened.
"Leading Army, you...don't do whatever you want..."
"Mi Zifang, I don't want to mess around either."
Zhu Shuo picked up whips, hammers and other instruments of torture and said with a smile,
"As long as you are willing to obey and sign the charges, you will be spared the pain of your flesh and blood!"
"But I...I've really never done this before..."
Mi Fang begged for mercy.
"It seems that if you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink!"
Zhu Shuo's face darkened, he grabbed Mi Fang's hand, picked up the hammer and dropped it heavily.
Feeling the severe pain, Mi Fang's pupils shrank suddenly and she let out a scream,
"I...I sign..."
"very good!"
Zhu Shuo was overjoyed and quickly took the charges and placed them in front of Mi Fang!
Mi Fang was able to persist until now entirely because of the presence of her brother Mi Zhu.
Zhu Shuo seized on this and separated the two brothers, successfully breaking through Mi Fang's psychological defense!
Looking at the charges in front of her, Mi Fang showed pain, but she could only sign and sign with trembling hands.
Zhu Shuo held Mi Fang's confession and ran all the way to the palace.
Although he had already fallen asleep, Cao Pi got up excitedly after learning that Mi Fang had confessed.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mi Fang is the only one who confessed, but Mi Zhen is still stubborn and refuses to plead guilty."
Zhu Shuo whispered.
"It doesn't matter, Mi Fang's accusation is enough! As for Mi Zhu, hum, we'll deal with him later."
Looking at the confession in his hand, Cao Pi was overjoyed!
Now he finally had an excuse to attack Yang Ling!
…
Although the next day was not a court meeting, Cao Pi sent people early in the morning to invite all the courtiers to the palace to discuss matters.
Although Cao Pi suppressed his excitement, everyone still noticed from his eyes that there seemed to be progress yesterday.
"Do you know why I called you into the palace?"
Cao Pi said with a majestic look.
"I don't know!"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Just yesterday, after some torture by the leading general Zhu Shuo, the truth was finally obtained from Mi Fang!"
Cao Pi nodded to Zhu Shuo on the side and motioned for him to stand up.
"According to what Mi Fang said, the general was dissatisfied because he was impeached by a group of courtiers, and he had the idea of rebellion."
"He ordered Mi Fang to purchase hundreds of armors privately and temporarily hide them in the Mi family's warehouse."
"When the time is right, he will launch a rebellion!"
Zhu Shuo said loudly.
Hearing this, everyone was in commotion and subconsciously looked at Yang Ling!
Yang Ling was not too surprised by this result.
Compared with her brother Mi Zhu, Mi Fang is too weak-willed.
Otherwise, in history, he would not have surrendered in Kaicheng when he was surrounded by Soochow, so that Guan Yu was defeated and killed!
"General, what do you want to say?"
Cao Pi was full of energy and looked at Yang Ling with a hint of pride.
"Reporting to your Majesty, I still have the same eight words. If you want to accuse me, there is no need to hesitate!"
Yang Ling said neither humble nor arrogant.
(The protagonist is going to overthrow Cao Pi!)
