As he spoke, Ding Rong also gestured to the people in the Duwei camp behind him.
Not long after, a young woman was brought in.
Judging from the way he was dressed, he was undoubtedly a daughter of a wealthy family. After being escorted in, when he saw Wang Ji, he started shouting: "Dad——"
"Rong'er!" Wang Ji's eyes widened, and the chains on his body trembled as he struggled.
"This girl is Wang Ji's most beloved daughter. It is better to torture Wang Ji than torture her." Ding Rong spoke with a sinister look on his face.
"Ding Rong! Old man! You have to die! If you have anything, just come to me!!"
"Haha, Mr. Wang, are you willing to talk now? Who are your accomplices?" Ding Rong asked with a smile.
"Let my daughter go! Let my daughter go! Otherwise, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!" Wang Ji roared with eyes splitting.
"It seems that Mr. Wang will not shed tears until he sees the coffin."
After Ding Rong finished speaking, he ignored him and looked at Liang Yuan.
The latter subconsciously glanced at the greatly frightened woman and frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Ding Rong said quickly: "Master Liang, please don't forget. Your Majesty has told me that I will be responsible for trying Wang Ji's case. Du Weiying needs assistance."
Hearing this, Liang Yuan did not say a word, but raised his head to several people from the Duwei camp. He himself turned around and left.
Next, Ding Rong laughed again.
As Duweiying took action, the woman's panicked cries suddenly came:
"Daddy, save me! Daddy, help me--"
"woo woo woo woo……"
"Beast! Beast!!!" Wang Ji struggled desperately, his eyes were red and the corners of his eyes were about to burst.
"Stop! Stop it!!!"
"Stop!" Ding Rong raised his hand, then walked up to Wang Ji and said with a smile: "Master Wang, you are so bold and want to murder the king. No matter you do it or not, you are already guilty of nine deaths. But now, I The officer can assure you that as long as you are willing to reveal your accomplices, I will ensure that your daughter will be fine!"
In order to achieve meritorious service, Ding Rong used all his insidious methods. You must know that Wang Ji and he had been ministers of the same dynasty for many years, and their relationship was still very good before.
It is not difficult to see from this that this is a real villain.
Wang Ji turned his head and stared at him fiercely, the corners of his eyes were blood red, like a ghost.
His appearance made Ding Rong feel a little flustered. He couldn't help but secretly swallow, and said: "You, don't drink the toast and eat the fine wine, do you still want to watch your daughter suffer!"
"No! No!" Upon hearing this, Wang Ji panicked again.
In fact, he could no longer bear the physical torture and psychological blow. Now that he would be tortured when he saw his daughter again, the last line of defense collapsed.
"Say...I said..."
Hearing this, Ding Rong was shocked, his eyes widened at the same time, and he shouted repeatedly: "Quick! Get the pen and ink!"
Two days later, the royal study room.
"This is the list given by Wang Ji."
"This is the confession of those people on the list. Please see it, your Majesty."
In one night, the Duwei Battalion arrested more than ten imperial ministers based on the list, and Ding Rong even interrogated them one by one. Needless to say, the methods used during the process were not mentioned.
Xiao Yuan took these silk books, flipped through a few of them, and then looked at Ding Rong, who was standing underneath: "Are you sure?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ding Rong replied respectfully: "They intended to murder Your Majesty and made a secret plan. The evidence is conclusive."
"Very good." Xiao Yuan nodded, and then glanced at him again: "Are you still used to the official uniform that Master Ding is wearing? If you are not used to it, please change to my Qin official uniform."
"Ah?" Hearing this, Ding Rong's eyes widened immediately, and then he knelt on the ground with a thud, put his hands on the side of his head, raised his butt high, and shouted in a trembling voice:
"I must swear allegiance to the king to the death!"
"Okay, okay, Master Ding, please get up. From now on, he will still be a minister of the imperial court on the surface." Xiao Yuan said again.
"Yes! I will obey the king's orders!"
This is a cunning person who is smart enough to see the situation clearly early and wants to take refuge with Xiao Yuan. Now, he finally got his wish.
As a monarch, Xiao Yuan will not care whether he is a villain or a gentleman.
Throughout history, there are many treacherous villains who, under wise kings, make full use of their talents and make good use of them, and they are no worse than good ministers.
Morning next day.
Qin Palace.
Under the steps outside the main hall, thirteen imperial ministers, headed by Wang Ji, knelt, all wearing prison uniforms with disheveled hair.
Xiao Yuan did this, undoubtedly to scare the monkeys.
During the morning court, all the ministers passed by here and saw this situation, and they were very upset.
After arriving in the palace, all the ministers knelt down and worshiped. Shang Rui still didn't know what was happening outside, but he was still the same as before.
Not long after, Xiao Yuan strode in.
Seeing him, the imperial ministers lined up on both sides, and their bodies couldn't help but get lower.
Shang Rui forced a smile and said as if he was about to get up: "Is King Qin here?"
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Yuan directly cupped his hands and said in a bad tone: "My lord, I have something to report!"
"Ah? King Qin, please tell me, please tell me," Shang Rui said quickly.
Xiao Yuan turned sideways slightly, first looked around at everyone coldly, and then said coldly:
"Two days ago, the palace received a secret report that someone among the imperial ministers wanted to murder the king!"
Hearing this, some ministers visibly shuddered, especially Dong Hua, who trembled even more.
Shang Rui was shocked and said hurriedly: "This, this, this, how is this possible? Did King Qin make a mistake?"
"Of course it's not wrong. All those who attempted to murder this king have been arrested! They are kneeling outside the palace!"
Xiao Yuan said, and also stepped forward to the throne.
Seeing his actions, Shang Rui panicked and couldn't help but trembled: "Qin...what is King Qin doing?"
Of course Xiao Yuan would not do anything to him, but slapped a piece of silk book on Wang's case, pointed at it and said: "Your Majesty, please look! This is the confession of those people!"
"Ah? Yes, yes." Shang Rui responded repeatedly and subconsciously said: "These people are so bold that they dare to murder King Qin. They really deserve death!"
"It's just that right now, I still don't know something, that is, I don't know who is giving the instructions behind this!" Xiao Yuan said, looking at Shang Rui with deep eyes.
The latter's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he stammered: "Who is it? Who is it?"
"As long as it's not Your Majesty." Xiao Yuan said quietly, then withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked out of the palace, and said loudly:
"The prince alone is plotting to kill the king and the nine clans!"
"cut!"
He gave the order, and the Qin troops behind the thirteen people swung their swords in unison, splattering blood on the spot.
The ministers in the palace screamed one after another. Dong Hua could hardly stand, his legs were shaking, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Shang Rui squeezed his concubine's little hand tightly and said as if crying:
"My beloved concubine, my beloved concubine, King Qin scared me to death just now..."
