The Truth Is Revealed! The person behind the scenes had surfaced!
Jun Ruyu's actions had completely crushed He Cheng's psychological defenses.
He Cheng was originally timid and afraid of trouble. Now that he saw Jun Ruyu kill Zhao Jinhuai without a word, he felt his scalp go numb from Jun Ruyu's indifferent gaze.
A gust of cold air rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
At this moment, he was truly terrified. He no longer had any strength to resist Jun Ruyu.
He Cheng instantly knelt down, his face devoid of blood.
He kept kowtowing to Jun Ruyu and kept saying,""I confess, this lowly official will confess anything. I only hope that Imperial Teacher can spare this lowly official's life!”
"Actually, I didn't want to do this either. It's just that Zhao Jinhuai forced me, so I had no choice but to do as he said if I wanted to live! I'm innocent. I hope you can investigate!”
Hearing He Cheng's plea for mercy, a cold glint flashed across Jun Ruyu's eyes.
You're innocent?
Humph! Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?
However, although Jun Ruyu was sneering in her heart, she did not show it on her face.
The reason why he killed Zhao Jinhuai without hesitation was because he was really furious. If he did not kill this dog official, his conscience would not be at ease.
On the other hand, it was to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!
In order to crush He Cheng's heart, he would not have any chance of survival.
When he first saw He Cheng, he knew that He Cheng was a timid person who was afraid of coercion. As long as he used the right method, he was not afraid that He Cheng would not confess.
As expected, everything was within Jun Ruyu's expectations.
Fang Xuanling and Wu Shi Ling were also shocked.
They had never expected that Jun Ruyu would really kill Zhao Jinhuai, who was a Rank-5, without even blinking.
This kind of fierceness and viciousness shook their hearts.
Decisive killing!
He was more resourceful than anyone else!
Everything was under control!
Everything that Jun Ruyu had done in the past few hours had given them a new understanding of Jun Ruyu. It was only now that Fang Xuanling sighed in his heart,""Your Majesty really has a discerning eye!”
"Now, it seems like I made the right decision to acknowledge Mister Ruyu as the emperor's teacher without hesitation!”
"With the emperor's teacher here, the Great Tang can truly be at ease!”
Fang Xuanling already had a thorough understanding of Jun Ruyu, and this made his heart tremble even more.
As for Wu Shi, he was completely in awe of Jun Ruyu's skills. The slight contempt he had for Jun Ruyu due to her age had completely dissipated.

"Tell me, I'll give you a chance!"
Jun Ruyu sat back down and quietly looked at He Cheng who was kneeling on the ground.
"Yes, yes, I will confess everything!”
"I…I was forced to do these things with him under the coercion of the Yangzhou Zhizhou, Lord Zhao!" He Cheng hurriedly said. In order to complete the mission given to us by our master, we took advantage of our positions and embezzled 20,000 taels of silver to use for the training and pay of the private army.”
"At the same time, in order to build a secret military base, we threatened or coerced more than 400 craftsmen to participate in the construction. After the construction, I wanted to give them some money and let them leave, but Master was afraid that the news would leak, so he asked us to kill those people directly!”
"Sir, I really didn't want to kill them! I was forced!"
Speaking up to this point, He Cheng could not help but kowtow again.
Jun Ruyu didn't even blink and said,""Continue. I will investigate whether you were coerced or not!”
"Yes, yes!"
He Cheng continued," Originally, we didn't want to make a move on the military pay this time. However, for some reason, Master suddenly sent an order to tell us to settle the military pay. Moreover, the people transporting the military pay had long been replaced by our people, so we secretly dealt with the military pay!”
"Where did you send the military pay?”Jun Ruyu asked.
"It is said that they were all thrown into the Moon Landing Lake in boxes. However, I don't know where exactly they were thrown. It wasn't me.”
Jun Ruyu was annoyed by He Cheng's pleading words. He frowned and thought about He Cheng's words.
It seemed that his speculation was right. The military pay was really hidden in the Moon Landing Lake.
However, the Moon Landing Lake was so big. If he did not know the exact location, it would be very troublesome!
"There has to be a use for stealing the army's pay, right? If you don't even remember where you hid it, how are you going to transport it out in the future?”Jun Ruyu asked again.
"I heard from my master that this batch of military pay is troublesome to use. As long as we throw away the military pay and not give it to the Tang army, it will be fine.”
Shua!
Hearing He Cheng's words, not only did Jun Ruyu frown, but Fang Xuanling and the others also had a cold glint in their eyes.
He Cheng's master's intentions were already very obvious!
He only cared about throwing away the military pay and nothing else.
What was the meaning of this?
This was clearly to cut off the supply of the Tang army and prevent it from defending the border.
This was destroying the foundation of the Great Tang's borders!
How much did his master hate the stability of the Great Tang for doing such a thing that harmed others and did not benefit himself?
The killing intent in Jun Ruyu's eyes condensed once again. He held the teacup, and the water in the teacup was already surging like waves.
Jun Ruyu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said,""After saying so much, who is your master?？”
