"Your Majesty!"
Duke Wei said clearly,"This case is a conspiracy between me and the Little Heavenly Master of the Imperial Preceptor's Residence, Lu Kai!"
His goal was to achieve a breakthrough by refining pills with living people.
I deserve ten thousand deaths!
Your Majesty, please punish me and the Imperial Preceptor's Residence.”
"What?"
Lu Kai, who had a calm expression on his face, was stunned.
He even wondered if he had heard wrongly.
"Duke of Wei."
"I must remind you not to speak nonsense." Lu Kai's eyes were dark.”
"Don't threaten me!" Duke Wei snorted coldly.
Back then, our guild was threatened by you because of my daughter.
Now that my daughter has been cured, I no longer need to be afraid of you.”
Cured?
Impossible!
Lu Kai didn't believe it.
The daughter of the Duke of Wei was already considered dead.
Even his father could only extend his life and not heal him!
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
The Duke of Wei seemed to have seen through his thoughts."The holy monk has indeed cured my daughter.”
Holy monk?
Was he talking about Li Xiushan?
Shock, anger, and fear flashed across Lu Kai's eyes in an extremely short period of time.
"Lu Kai!"
"Now that the Duke of Wei has personally identified you, what else do you have to say?" Zhong Zhen questioned.”
"Your Majesty!"
Lu Kai came back to his senses.
He quickly regained his composure and knelt on the ground."This subject is wronged!
The Imperial Advisor's Residence had come quickly and was at odds with the Demon Suppression Division.
Because the Demon Suppression Division felt that the Grand Tutor's Residence lowered their status!
Especially the commander-in-chief Zhong Zhen.
He always felt that my father stole his reputation.
Because of this.
Zhong Zhen joined forces with the Duke of Wei and the traitor of the Imperial Advisor's Residence to frame the Imperial Advisor's Residence for the pill refinement case!
Your Majesty, please investigate!"
"Nonsense!"
"If the Duke of Wei is framing you, then we still have thousands of people who can testify.
They saw the priests from the Imperial Preceptor's residence with their own eyes. Moreover, these priests mentioned that it was you who gave the order!
Could it be that so many commoners have joined forces to frame you?”
"Who doesn't know that the Duke of Wei is the most benevolent person in the capital?" Lu Kai said coldly.
Those commoners regard you as their benefactor. Isn't it easy for them to lie for you?”
"Bullshit!"
Duke Wei cursed.
"Presumptuous! How could they dare to make a racket in the imperial court?”
The eunuch beside Emperor Taining berated loudly.
Lu Kai crawled on the ground, his voice sincere.
"Your Majesty!"
"My Imperial Preceptor's Residence is conscientious and conscientious towards His Majesty and the people of Dasheng.”
"During the era of the previous emperor, the great demon was born and caused chaos in the world. It was my father who forcefully sealed it at the cost of serious injuries, and from then on, he became ill!
In the 6th year of Taining, there was a great drought in many places in Dasheng. There was no harvest and famine spread. It was my father who opened the altar and begged for heavy rain to let the people survive this disaster.
In the 12th year of Taining, the plague spread to six states. My father used blood as medicine to cure the plague.
In the 16th year of Great Peace, the Great Sheng Feng Province was conquered by the Ghost King and tens of thousands of evil ghosts.
It was this lowly subject who led thousands of disciples from the Imperial Advisor's Residence to eliminate the ghost plague at the cost of their lives.
In that battle, I almost lost my soul!
I'm not saying this to claim credit, but to tell Your Majesty that the Imperial Advisor's Residence would never do anything to harm the people!”
Lu Kai's voice was filled with tears as he spoke.
These were also the reasons why the Imperial Advisor's Residence had been able to hold a high position for many years.
"Hypocrite!"
" Lu Kai, the plague in the 12th year of Taining was caused by the spread of the corpse poison when you refined the poisonous corpse!" Zhong Zhen said angrily.”
This was also the reason why he had been investigating the Imperial Advisor's residence for many years.
That day, Zhong Zhen accidentally saw the Imperial Advisor's mansion refining a poisonous corpse.
Not long after, those who drank the water of the capital city would contract a strange disease similar to corpse poison.
As for the rest, it was half true and half false.
Zhong Zhen felt that perhaps the Imperial Advisor's Residence had really done something to vanquish demons, but it was more for his own benefit.
However, he had no evidence and could not say anything.
"Your Majesty, listen to Elder Zhong!”
Lu Kai looked pitiful."It's fine that he framed the Imperial Preceptor's Estate for his own rights, but he actually wants to erase his previous achievements.
Those were all exchanged with the lives of the disciples of my Imperial Preceptor's Residence.
This was too much, too much!
Your Majesty, if we don't punish Zhong Zhen severely today, the Imperial Advisor's Residence and my father will be disappointed!”
The two of them argued, causing the officials in the court to discuss animatedly.
A portion of them supported Zhong Zhen, while the other half supported the Imperial Advisor's Residence.
Zhong Zhen was worried about this.
The Imperial Preceptor's estate had been established as the national religion since the time of the previous emperor, and the prestige it had accumulated over the years was truly difficult to shake.
"Silence!"
The eunuch's voice rang out.
Immediately after, Emperor Taining spoke slowly,""In this case, Minister Zhong, the evidence you provided is not enough to prove that the Grand Tutor's Residence is the mastermind.
However, the pill refining case is of great importance. The entire capital is discussing it now, and I attach great importance to it.
Therefore, I will send the Ministry of Justice to participate in the investigation and personally supervise it.
As for how it is, I will decide in time.
Today, if both of you can't produce more evidence, you can withdraw from court.
Zhen is tired."
"Your Majesty…"
Zhong Zhen kneeled on the ground." Your Majesty, please be careful. Don't be fooled by Lu Kai's slanderous words!"”
"Enough."
Emperor Taining rubbed his temples and said unhappily,""If you don't have any other evidence, then withdraw from the court. Do you need me to say it again?”
Zhong Zhen lowered his head, speechless.
If there was no direct evidence to prove that Lu Kai and his son were involved, it would be difficult to conclude.
Lu Kai's lips curled into a smirk.
Everything was within his father's expectations.
Just as he was about to leave, a cold voice sounded.
"Imperial Father, your son has evidence to prove that Lu Kai was involved in this case.”
