Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 752 The End of Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen

Lai Junchen was afraid of death, and even more afraid of dying in torture.

So he had to tell the truth.

He knew that if he told the truth, he might be able to choose a quicker death.

otherwise……

"Master of the Demonic Spirit Pavilion, I am reporting that the high official whom Zhou Xing falsely accused today, His Highness Li Cunxi, the Prince of Qin, is the one who was framed."

"Then there's His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei. Apart from being a bit lazy, liking to sleep during court, and having a bad temper, everything about His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei is good."

"And then there's Elder Di. He's a very important figure, a pillar of the Great Zhou State, and he was also framed by Zhou Xing."

……

Lai Junchen mentioned more than a dozen officials in one breath.

Most of them are officials of the second and third ranks of the current dynasty, with extremely high status and extremely noble identity.

But even so, these people were framed by Zhou Xing.

I guess if the emperor had not been completely incompetent and knew that after these people were arrested, the court would inevitably be shaken, and the situation might still be unknown.

Zhou Xing was like an angry lion. Listening to Lai Junchen putting all the blame on him, he immediately stood up and gave Lai Junchen a Leo flying kick.

Lai Junchen fell forward after being kicked, and Zhou Xing himself sat down on the ground.

"You damned dog-head, you damned beast! You don't know your place, you have no respect for your teacher!"

"I, Zhou Xing, regard you as my successor, and I will pass on all my skills to you without reservation."

"And you!"

"You're actually here, accusing me of all this and putting all the blame on me. You're trying to make me a name for myself for all eternity!"

Zhou Xing pointed at Lai Junchen, spitting everywhere.

Lai Junchen was not a good-tempered person either.

In order to avoid being infamous for eternity, he fought hard, pointing at Zhou Xing and cursing:

"Do you have the nerve to say you respect your teachers?"

"You treacherous minister, when you were slandering His Majesty and harming all the civil and military officials in the court, why didn't you consider that your former mentor taught you how to be a good official? Why didn't you respect him?"

The two men tore at each other in the cell, belittling each other and blaming each other for their own mistakes.

The teacher and student who used to have a close relationship eventually became mortal enemies in the prison of the Inner Guard Palace.

At this moment, there is no so-called teacher-student friendship.

In the face of death, they are all the same.

Since you can't live, try to die quickly.

"Take them away and interrogate them individually."

The demon spirit exhaled and said lightly.

……

At noon, the demon spirit entered Taichu Palace with two confessions.

Going to the study in Shangyang Palace, he knelt outside and handed the two confessions to Shangguan Wan'er.

"I have fulfilled my mission and have obtained the confessions of the two gentlemen."

"During this period, I did not torture the two gentlemen. Therefore, the confessions may not be absolutely true."

Shangguan Wan'er entered the imperial study, handed in two confessions, repeated the words of the demon spirit, and stood aside.

Wu Zetian took the confession and read it carefully again and again.

Anger gradually appeared on that calm face, but the anger disappeared quickly, and soon Wu Zetian let out a cold laugh.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

"I was trusted by them, but they used me as a tool."

Although she was emperor for only four years, Wu Zetian came to power much earlier.

The two thieves Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen followed her for many years and were used by her because of their unique abilities.

The supreme emperor thought that if she gave them enough trust, these two people would repay her double.

Therefore, even though these two people framed Wu Chengsi, Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi and other close ministers, Wu Zetian did not punish them.

Now it seems that the trust she showed has been severely trampled underfoot.

These traitors don't want her trust at all.

I don't want to live anymore.

"Demon, come in."

Wu Zetian spoke angrily without even asking Shangguan Wan'er to convey the message.

The demon spirit stood up outside the door, entered the study carefully, and then knelt down skillfully in front of Wu Zetian.

"Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen, these two evil creatures, neither of them shall survive."

"Go and take care of them both for me. Their deaths must be extremely cruel. I want them to know the price of betraying my trust."

"In addition, Zhou Xingyi's nine clans and Lai Junchen's entire household were wiped out."

The demon spirit clasped his fists in response.

On that day, Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen were paraded through the streets under broad daylight.

The prison van of the Internal Guards escorted the two men back and forth, parading them through the streets.

When the civil and military officials heard the news, they finally sighed:

"Those evil creatures in the Inner Guard finally did a good thing."

Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen were taken to the prison van, looking outside with despair. Passersby on the roadside took rotten vegetable leaves and threw them at the two of them, making them look very embarrassed.

In order to humiliate the two further, Mo Ling specially wrote a full page of confession for Zhou Xing in the Inner Guard Palace.

This confession describes how the two thieves, Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen, deceived their superiors and subordinates, framed civil and military officials, and used this to seek personal gain.

Before they reached an intersection, members of the Inner Guard would beat drums and gongs to attract others to watch. When enough people gathered, they would order Zhou Xing to recite aloud.

Whenever Zhou Xing's voice was not loud enough, he would be whipped on the mouth with a whip.

Zhou Xing had a lot of grievances, but in order to avoid suffering, he had to embarrass himself everywhere with a blushing face.

After this incident, the ministers in the court had a new understanding of the Internal Guard House.

Especially the demon who put on such a good show, everyone was even more impressed.

"I've heard that the demon spirit has followed Li Cunxi many times and spent a lot of time with him. His ability to humiliate others must be related to Li Cunxi."

The headquarters of the Left Jinwu Guard.

When General Qiu Shenji heard about what happened to Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen, he was filled with sorrow.

These two people were old friends of his, but he never expected that they would be humiliated like this just because they said the wrong thing in the court.

In fact, this is just the beginning.

Qiu Shenji concluded that the emperor would never let these two people off easily.

His prediction came true. Just as Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen were parading through the streets, a group of inner guards entered Lai Junchen's residence.

The leader was You Huan.

Since the Bleeding Eagle Case, You Huan was sent to the southeast and rarely returned to Luoyang.

Not long ago, You Huan completed his mission and returned to the Inner Guard Palace to follow the arrangements of the Demon Spirit.

After receiving the emperor's order, Mo Ling assigned You Huan to capture the families of the two treacherous officials and send them to Caishikou for execution.

"Who are you? How dare you act so wildly in our house?"

"Do you know where this place is?"

"This is the residence of the current Imperial Censor, Lai Junchen. You are blind, how dare you trespass here!"

As soon as You Huan entered the yard, he found that the guards in front were stopped by someone, and the housekeeper and his servants were blocking the way with sticks in their hands.

"Get out of here if you know what's best for you, or else I'll make you pay!"
