The rest of the people, except for the dozen or so big businessmen, all walked towards the Seventh Prince.
No one who can stand here today is blind or deaf.
Although Xu Yingguan'er was young, these people all knew that he was imprisoned for "greedy" money.
Now the Seventh Prince is shouting that the case has a result, why don't they come forward to watch the fun.
"Seventh Prince, Brother Xu was wronged, right?" When he came to the Seventh Prince, Li Qiao confirmed anxiously and raised his eyebrows slightly at the Seventh Prince.
"Yes, he was indeed wronged." The seventh prince received Li Qiao's signal and nodded, acknowledging Li Qiao's words.
"Seventh brother, how are you sure that Xu Ying was wronged?" the fifth prince asked with a stern face.
"Because I tortured the people who sent Xu Ying to the Punishment Department that day. They couldn't stand the torture, so they all surrendered."
The seventh prince looked at the fifth prince with extremely cold eyes, and his face was covered with frost: "Fifth brother, you framed a court official, I will report it to your father right now."
"You!" The fifth prince was shocked and stared at him in disbelief: "How dare you use torture on an official of the imperial court?!"
The British prince was also panicked. Is the seventh prince so wild?
Zhu Yuanwailang is a fifth-rank official!
Moreover, before entering the palace, he did not receive news that the Seventh Prince had sent people to find Zhu Yuanwailang and others.
In such a short period of time, how could the Seventh Prince bring Zhu Yuanwailang and others to the Ministry of Punishment and then torture them severely.
The seventh prince must be deceiving him and the fifth prince, right?
He must be deceiving him and the fifth prince!
Just as he was about to remind the fifth prince, the seventh prince sneered, glared at the fifth prince and said, "They deserve it."
After throwing away these four words, the Seventh Prince walked towards the back hall of Tai Chi Hall, as if he wanted to meet Sheng Hong immediately.
"Seventh brother!"
The fifth prince immediately went after him.
But the British Duke stopped him: "Fifth Prince, wait a minute. When was the Seventh Prince interrogated?"
"he is……"
The fifth prince, who was looking anxious, suddenly got stuck.
Yes, when did this seventh brother, who had always been at odds with him and had the temper of a stinking stone in a latrine, interrogate those people?
Before he entered the palace, he didn't get any news at all!
Liar!
Thinking of this, the fifth prince immediately became less anxious. He let out a disdainful sound. Seeing that the seventh prince had actually entered the back hall, he clicked his tongue twice and turned to look at Li Qiao.
"Master Li, you and Seventh Brother work well together, but you have to consider the actual situation when acting. How did Seventh Brother interrogate people in this short period of time?"
He asked Li Qiao slowly, with mockery on his face.
If you want to use this trick to deceive him, he is not a fool!
Li Qiao looked innocent, but she was sighing in her heart.
Although he tested out the fifth prince, according to his agreement with the seventh prince, the seventh prince who hurriedly entered the palace at this time was indeed deceiving the fifth prince and the British Duke.
Now that the fifth prince and the British prince are not fooled, they can only trouble the seventh prince to try the case carefully later.
However, today was not in vain. With a target, the seventh prince's interrogation would have a direction.
Just as he was about to pretend he didn't understand what the fifth prince said, Sheng Hong led the seventh prince, Qian San and several young eunuchs out of the back hall.
The first person to see Sheng Hong immediately bowed to see him.
The rest of the people heard the sound and hurried to see Sheng Hong.
Li Qiao could only put away all his thoughts and follow the others to salute Sheng Hong.
Sheng Hong looked good and rosy. Apparently, during the Chinese New Year, he took a good rest to avoid falling ill last year.
He smiled and asked everyone to stand up.
The fifth prince didn't wait for everyone to stand up, and immediately asked loudly: "Father, just now the seventh brother came into the back hall and said that he wanted to report to you that Xu Ying was imprisoned for embezzling money and money. Has he reported it to you?"
"He did briefly mention it to me."
Sheng Hong pointed to the Seventh Prince: "Xiao Qi, please tell me in detail in front of everyone."
As soon as these words came out, the fifth prince opened his eyes wide, what?
Is this Xiao Qi really talking nonsense to his father?
The British public was also stunned, huh?
Wasn't the seventh prince deceiving him and the fifth prince?
The seventh prince glanced at the fifth prince and the British prince one by one, and then he raised his lips, just like the fifth prince mocked Li Qiao just now, and there was a look of ridicule on his face.
"I said that Zhu Yuanwailang recruited him under severe torture, so he did."
Fifth Prince: "..."
British Duke: "..."
A bad premonition welled up in their hearts.
In front of Sheng Hong, the seventh prince had no reason to lie, so...
"Fifth brother, I have already sent people to guard Zhu Yuanwailang's house. As soon as you enter the palace, I will order their arrest."
"He didn't go back to the Criminal Department. I interrogated the person in my private house."
"They did do it. They framed Xu Ying at your instigation."
The Seventh Prince said, putting away his mockery, with only a cold expression on his face: "I'm going to ask someone to bring a few people named Zhu here. You can use the money to instruct them to do things. The witnesses and physical evidence are here. I'll see how you defend yourself next." .”
Li Qiao: "?"
His eyes widened.
Aren't you trying to deceive the Fifth Prince and the British Duke?
In the end, the Seventh Prince was actually interrogated outside the palace?

The author has something to say:
Tomorrow is 2023, time flies so fast. I wish all the babies good health, happiness and success in the new year!
The amount of updates this month is not good. One plot took several days to be written, so I am really grateful to Baozi who keeps up with the updates every day. Thank you for your company. At the beginning of the new year, I will send you a red envelope!
And Baozi, who usually just reads the article silently, can he have some fun?
All the treasures!
Chapter 142 Pure plot, Li Qiao Tao Zhu is very few, Sheng Hong’s treatment, the fifth prince was punished to spend a month in seclusion
"Okay, since you said that the interrogation came out, then you bring the person here. If the interrogation does not come out, then you are slandering my brother and deceiving the emperor!"
Just when Li Qiao was shocked, the fifth prince gritted his teeth and spoke with a gloomy expression.
Obviously, he still had doubts about the seventh prince's words.
He suspected that the seventh prince was still deceiving him at this time.
It shouldn’t be!
Even if his seventh brother really interrogates those people, it shouldn't be so fast.
At the beginning, the man surnamed Zhu had promised him heartily that if he was really brought to court by the Seventh Prince, he would not be confessed at all.
But counting on his fingers now, even if his seventh brother arrests people as soon as he enters the palace, it will be less than half an hour from now.
How did his seventh brother arrest, interrogate, and enter the palace to expose him in less than half an hour?
He doesn't believe it!
His seventh brother is probably still deceiving him!
When the seventh prince saw that the fifth prince did not shed tears without seeing the coffin, his handsome face showed ridicule again: "Okay, I will have a few people named Zhu here."
He has indeed been interrogated.
In the past few days, seeing Meng Yue, a fool, spending twelve hours a day with Xu Ying in the Penal Department Prison, he couldn't help but feel angry.
On New Year's Eve, Meng Yuefei had to go to his house to deliver dumplings.
They even asked him to go to Li's Duck Shop for hot pot on the first day of the new year, and to play in Juyuan on the second day of the new year.
Originally, he didn't agree to this fool. As the head of the Criminal Department, he was very busy even during the Chinese New Year.
Moreover, he has been to Juyuan thousands of times. What fun is there?
The things inside are extremely expensive. Just going in to see the flowers, drink a cup of tea, and eat some snacks will cost you several taels of silver. Juyuan is purely a scam for those rich people who like elegance and pay attention to style.
Meng Yue is a fool. Although he passed the Jinshi examination, he is still a rough person in essence. His family is not rich, and his monthly salary is less than a hundred taels. How dare he go to Juyuan to be arty. With that money, he might as well go to the Li family. If you want to eat hot pot at a duck shop, at least it’s affordable.
but!
His unwillingness to go out with Meng Yue and whether he can go out with Meng Yue are two different things.
He could refuse Meng Yue.
But Meng Yue couldn't spend the New Year living in the Penal Department Prison just because Xu Ying was framed.
Therefore, because of Meng Yue, he had been filled with anger these past few days.
And of course Li Qiao.
Everyone knows that he is Li Qiao's backer, but now he wants to use his hand to convict Li Qiao's best friend, so that Li Qiao will be guilty and troubled for the rest of his life.
This is to use the dignified seventh prince as a tool.
How can he not be angry?
