"For what crime?" Li Zhi asked coldly.
At this moment, he was furious.
He had already understood the other party's intentions. It was obvious that he knew that he had captured Zhou Xing, and then he had returned the favor by capturing Yang Ye.
If he did not have the Jinyiwei to spy on him, Yang Ye would have been secretly beheaded by the time he found out.
"Embezzlement of military pay, ten thousand taels of silver!”Wang Zhao cupped his hands and said.
"Hmph, framing, it's clearly framing! He had only been gone for less than ten days and had yet to stabilize his footing. Did he have the ability to deduct so much of the army's pay?”Li Zhi was furious.
"I don't believe that Lord Yang would do such a thing.”Wei Zhongxian said.
The reason why Li Zhi didn't believe it was because Yang Ye, Wei Zhongxian, and the others were summoned by the system. They were 100% loyal to him. Even if he died, he wouldn't do anything to let Li Zhi down.
Why would he deduct the army's pay for his own benefit?
It was simply the biggest joke in the world!
"Wang Zhao! I order you to quickly inform the Dragon Guards to gather. I want to personally rescue Yang Ye!”Yang Ye looked at the Vice Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards who had just entered and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Wang Zhao flew out.
Ten minutes later.
Li Zhi rode on a tall horse with a sword strapped to his waist. Behind him were Fan Kuai, Dian Wei, and a thousand Dragon Guard soldiers, who were as fierce as wolves and tigers. They were heading toward the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
The Dragon Guards were all full of vigor, their expressions stern, and their sabers ready to be unsheathed at any moment.
......
In the prison of the Ministry of Justice, in order to make Yang Ye admit that he had embezzled the silver.
Lai Junchen could be said to have used all of his severe punishments.
One moment, it was a leather whip dipped in salt water, the next moment, it was a red-hot branding iron, and the next moment, it was a bamboo skewer stabbed into his fingernails.
Ten fingers connected to the heart. This kind of pain was definitely not something that ordinary people could endure.
Even a tough man like Yang Ye was screaming in pain. His eyes were bloodshot.
His entire body was drenched in cold sweat, and he no longer looked like a commander of the Imperial Army. He had become a prisoner whose flesh had been torn apart.
Lai Junchen sipped his fragrant tea and sneered,""Yang Ye, aren't you going to sign? Hmph, it doesn't matter. When the time comes, I'll just cut off your finger and press it on. It doesn't matter if you sign it or not!”
"Ah pui! You crafty villain!" Yang Ye spat out a mouthful of blood, and much of it splashed onto Lai Junchen's face.
Lai Junchen was shocked, but he immediately became furious.
"Beat him to death! He's so numb. He really doesn't want a toast!"
At this moment.
There was a commotion at the door.
Lai Junchen was stunned.
A young servant rushed in and said to Lai Junchen,""Great, great, great! There are many soldiers outside!"
Seeing the servant's flustered appearance, Lai Junchen, who had already been angered, became even angrier. He slapped the servant.
"Bastard, why are you making such a fuss?”
"Ah! Daren, no, the emperor is here!”The boy servant quickly said as he calmed down a little.
"What?!" Lai Junchen was shocked and immediately stood up.
Lai Junchen's forehead was already covered in a thin layer of sweat, and his body was trembling slightly.
"Hahaha, Lai Junchen, your death is imminent!”Yang Ye said with a laugh. At this moment, the thousands of wounds on his body did not seem to hurt as much.
Lai Junchen's gaze was cold.
He thought of Zhou Xing and Gao Lishi.
These people all ended up very miserably.
He did not want to follow in the footsteps of these people!
Lai Junchen steeled his heart and said to the next general,""Put them in the Ministry of Justice and kill them all when they come in!”
The general was shocked.
Was Lai Junchen crazy? The other party was the emperor. Was he going to kill the emperor? This was a great crime of extermination.
"Milord, that's the Emperor!" The face of the Wandering Cavalry General was deathly pale. Even though Li Zhi was now a mere figurehead and had no prestige to speak of, killing him was still too disgraceful for these ordinary generals.
"What emperor! After we kill him, we will directly inform the Empress to establish a new ruler. At that time, you and I will both be people who have made great contributions and enjoy endless glory and wealth! The Empress has long wanted to get rid of Li Zhi. Moreover, you and I have captured Yang Ye. Do you think the Emperor will let us go? He'll still be beheaded!"
Lai Junchen's words moved the general.
It was true that they were all people who had received the Empress 'grace and had long obeyed the Empress' orders. How could they still have the Emperor in their eyes?
Now, a great opportunity was presented before him, and he wanted to kill the emperor behind closed doors.
At that time, when the Empress ascended the throne, she would be conferred the title of Champion General or Defender General, which would be enough to glorify the Light Sect.
Thinking of this, the general hardened his heart.
"Yes, sir!"
Then, he led a group of soldiers and rushed outside.
At this moment, Li Zhi had already brought 1,000 Dragon Guards into the courtyard with a murderous aura.
"Get Lai Junchen to see me!" Li Zhi shouted angrily.
(Votes!)
