Now that it's like this, I haven't discussed it with myself. It's really hopeless.
Duke Ning Guo sighed in his heart. This Ning Yuan was indeed incompetent and a little arrogant. He didn't take other people seriously.
Otherwise, we would not dare to directly assassinate him.
In addition, Ning Guogong's palace has become more and more powerful in recent years, which makes Ning Yuan a little dissatisfied with him, and the relationship between the two families is not as good as before.
Especially this guy Ning Yuan would not even think about discussing anything with them.
Such a guy is really of no use.
However, he still needs to find a way to keep him.
Ning Yuan was also surprised. He did not expect that the Ning Guo Guild would suddenly stand up.
However, this guy definitely has no good intentions and wants to gain benefits from himself.
Their evaluation of Ning Yuan was not wrong. He was arrogant, distrustful of others, and felt that he could handle everything on his own.
"Why are Lord Ning Guogong so anxious? Lord An Guogong hasn't said anything about this yet, how come you know it's a slander."
"Could it be that the testimony of our Criminal Department is still false?"
"Or does Mr. Ning Guo think that our Ministry of Punishment framed Lord An Guo?"
There was no need for Li Kai and Xia Zi to say anything. Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment took the lead and came out to question Ning Guogong.
The Minister of Punishment is naturally a member of Xia Zi.
Among the six departments, only the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishments were completely in the hands of Xia Zi, and this matter happened to involve the Ministry of Punishments and the Ministry of Rites.
This is naturally something they have planned for a long time.
"Of course not, but this matter is indeed full of doubts. I feel that we should investigate again."
"After all, the matter is very important. Just the confessions of a few assassins can't explain anything."
Ning Guogong said calmly, although it made sense for him to do so.
But if you insist on speaking, the confession of the Criminal Department is very strong evidence.
All he can do now is delay time. It is naturally impossible to use this to turn defeat into victory.
Now that the assassin has confessed, are you still worried that there is no evidence?
"Since I came out to accuse Duke An, I naturally have evidence. Does Ning Guogong need to see it?"
At this time, Li Kai said lightly, looking at Ning Guogong Bai Wuge.
Bai Wuge frowned. Do they really have evidence?
While he was pondering, Ning Yuan stood up directly and then knelt on the ground.
"Old minister pleads guilty."
"This matter was indeed done by Duke Anguo."
Hearing this, Bai Wuge was stunned and didn't understand why Ning Yuan directly confessed.
He was still here trying his best to stop all this, but Ning Yuan's operation made him confused.
Ning Yuan has already confessed his crime, what's the use of saying this now.
"He is really a pig teammate."
Bai Wuge was very angry, but he couldn't show anything. He could only stand aside silently. He couldn't understand why Ning Yuan would confess directly.
Is it possible that Ning Yuan knows what evidence Li Kai and the others have?
Thinking of this, Bai Wuge could only decide to see what happened first.
The other ministers and the Duke also didn't understand that Ning Yuan would directly confess his crime. They thought that this bloody storm would be lasting.
This is really unexpected.
Xia Tianzi and Li Kai also had no idea. They looked at Ning Yuan and wondered what kind of medicine he was selling.
Ning Yuan is still calm now. Although Ning Guogong's arguments may have some effect, when the matter is revealed, the trouble will only be greater.
Ning Yuan understood this very well now that he was confessing directly and could relieve some pressure.
"Since An Guogong has already confessed his crime, there is nothing more to say."
"Knowing the law and breaking the law, assassinating the prince-in-law, and disobeying the imperial edict. Do you know what the crime is?"
Xia Tianzi said slowly, although he didn't know what Ning Yuan wanted to do, he decided to cut through the mess quickly to avoid too many changes.
"I know."
"However, I still want to say a few more words and ask for Your Majesty's permission."
Ning Yuande kept his posture very low, and Xia Zi couldn't help but give him face, so he could only nod.
"Reporting to your majesty, I know this matter, but these are not my plans, but the actions of my rebellious son Ning Que."
Hearing this, everyone was even more stunned. Was Ning Yuan planning to sacrifice his son to protect himself?
This is really even more unexpected. Although it is a good choice, his son is a capital crime.
For him, isn't his son important?
How could he give up so easily for the son he had worked so hard to cultivate?
But soon they also figured out that Ning Yuan had three sons, it was just giving up one, and it was no big deal.
If Anguo Gongfu suffered a serious blow in this matter, that would be the real trouble.
"This is the real ruthless person. I used to look down on him."
There was only one thought in everyone's mind. They had indeed underestimated Ning Yuan. Duke An Guo was not as bad as the rumors said.
Xia Tianzi and Li Kai looked at each other. This matter was a bit beyond their expectations, but fortunately, they had a backup plan. By then, they wouldn't be afraid of this guy not compromising.
"Ning Que, why did he do this?"
Xia Zi asked symbolically.
"Because the traitor likes Princess Ruyi very much, but it's a pity that they are not destined to be together, and suddenly such a person appears to marry Princess Ruyi."
"The traitor was so dissatisfied that he did such a treasonous thing. The old minister is also very heartbroken."
When Li Kai heard this, he knew what he should do next.
"Hmph, An Guogong obviously knew about this and didn't stop it, let alone tell His Majesty. Keeping the information secret is no different from hiding the murderer."
Of course, Li Kai would not miss this opportunity and immediately attacked Ning Yuan.
"Yes, An Guogong has disappointed me very much. In your heart, I'm afraid you don't take me seriously at all."
The several princes looked like they were watching a show. It was going to get more and more exciting. How could Xia Zi and Li Kai let go of this opportunity? Unless their goal was achieved, they would not give up.
"Old minister pleads guilty."
Ning Yuan was very direct, looking like he was admitting his guilt.
"Well. Since Mr. An Guo has a pretty good attitude, you can be exempted from the death penalty, but I have to let you remember it for a long time, otherwise, I really won't take me seriously anymore."
"Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Ning Yuan felt calm, but he didn't know how Xia Zi was going to punish him. As long as it wasn't excessive, he would agree.
In his opinion, it was undoubtedly a matter of interests. If he could keep Anguo's mansion, he could naturally compromise.
This is better than letting Ning Guogong argue and make things worse.
"First of all, you teach me poorly, so I punish you by shutting yourself up for half a year."
