A night passed quietly.

All the cabinets and warehousings of Magnolia Hall, Ruyifang and other cabinets were sent by Xiang Kun to search.

Li Xiuran interrogated overnight and found out all the situations in these cabinets and workshops as evidence of the crimes of Wuyou Pavilion. He sorted out the confessions of Peng Ce, Chen Cang and others.

It was already dawn outside, and the morning court should have ended. After Li Xiuran returned to his residence and changed into a coupon, he picked up his confession and headed straight for the palace.

...

Hu Yanshou had just come to the imperial study room and was about to review the memorials. A eunuch hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, Shidu Li was asking for a meeting outside the palace, saying that he had found out the case, so he came to report to Your Majesty."

"Is this a clear investigation?" Hu Yanshou raised his eyebrows, but he was used to Li Xiuran's speed of solving the case, so he was not too surprised. Instead, he felt that it seemed quite normal and said lightly:

"Take him in."

"yes."

The eunuch took the order and turned around and left quickly. After a while, he hurried back with Li Xiuran.

"My minister Li Xiuran, I have seen Your Majesty." Li Xiuran stepped forward and bowed.

"Please flat." Hu Yanshou looked at him and said in a deep voice: "You said you have already found out the case and the Changlefang case, but what else can you find out? Who is supporting it behind it?"

"Report to Your Majesty, after verification by the empress, the guardian of Changlefang was protected by Wangyou Pavilion. The owner of Changlefang was also gathered at the instructor of Chen Cang, the owner of the Wangyou Pavilion, Fan Ming, the owner of Yanzhizhai, Ma Pozi from Hui'anfang, Chen Er from Taipingfang, and Hai Daqiang from Qinghefang, to join forces to rob a woman in the city.

Behind the Wangyou Pavilion was the instructed by General Xuanwei, Liang Shangzhong, to create Chen Cang, the purpose of robbing these women was to make money and to win over the ministers through this.

In addition, there were also eleven cabinets, including Magnolia Hall, Ruyifang, etc., which made a lot of money for him in the city under the names of brothels, gambling houses, fraud, etc.

According to preliminary investigations, the amount involved has reached a huge amount of one million."

Li Xiuran bowed his hand to reply, and said, looking at Hu Yanshou, and continued: "And the Ninth Prince is aware of all this. As for whether he has conspired with General Liang, the empress has no right to interrogate him, it is not clear at this time.

This is the confession confessed by Peng Ce, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the head of the Wangyou Pavilion Chen Cang, please check it out."

Li Xiuran took out his confession and presented it with both hands.

Hu Yanshou's face turned pale, and there was a sense of surprise in his eyes. He seemed to have never expected that the case he issued a thorough investigation was finally found out that he had come to his home...

"Take the confession over." Hu Yanshou said in a deep voice.

The eunuch next to him immediately stepped forward, picked up the confession from Li Xiuran, and submitted it to him.

Hu Yanshou reached out to take it, lowered his head and began to look around. The originally blue face also turned over and fell completely gloomy as he looked around. The veins on his forehead swelled up, and his eyebrows stood up. He was obviously extremely angry.

"Bang!"

Hu Yanshou slapped the confession on the table, and said with a cold face: "Go and pass Prince Heng to me!"

"yes."

The eunuch beside him responded with a nervous look on his face, and then hurriedly left.

...

Prince Heng’s Mansion.

After the ninth prince had breakfast, he looked at the guard beside him and said, "Has Chen Cang not come back yet?"

"Go back to Your Highness, not yet."

The ninth prince frowned. As far as he knew, Li Xiuran's cultivation was only at the Killing Realm, while Chen Cang was at the Imperial Spirit Realm, which was two different realms. It was absolutely easy to kill Li Xiuran, but it has been a night since this has passed, so why hasn't the person come back yet?

Could something happen?

The ninth prince suddenly felt a little uneasy and said in a deep voice: "Go to his mansion immediately to see if he has gone back."

"yes."

The guard bowed his order and was about to go out when he saw a eunuch walking in under the guidance of the housekeeper.

"Eunuch Liu, why are you here?" The ninth prince looked at the eunuch and said in surprise.

"I have seen Your Highness. Your Majesty has a trick and ordered Your Highness to come to the palace to see you immediately." Eunuch Liu bowed and said straight to the point.

Looking at Eunuch Liu's serious expression, the ninth prince suddenly felt a deep heart and said cautiously: "Eunuch Liu knows why my father is so anxious to summon me to the palace?"

Eunuch Liu looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Shidu Li just entered the palace, and he reported to His Majesty in the Changlefang case, and His Highness was also involved in the case."

The ninth prince's face changed drastically. Li Xiuran entered the palace? He was not dead?

So, Chen Cang has not returned yet, but something happened to him?

He was involved in the case. Could it be that Chen Cang confessed?

Suddenly summoned him into the palace, was he going to raise an army to question him?

The ninth prince changed his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more panicked.

Eunuch Liu urged: "Your Majesty is still waiting in the palace. Your Highness will come to the palace with your servants, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time."

The ninth prince suppressed his panic and insisted on calming himself: "Let me change my clothes, and then I will go to the palace with you."

"Please hurry up, your Highness."

The ninth prince nodded and walked quickly outside the door. As soon as he left the door, he immediately looked at the guard and whispered: "You enter the palace immediately, tell your mother about this matter, and ask her to go and save me immediately!"

"yes!"

The guards also knew that the matter was serious, so they immediately bowed and then left in a hurry.

The ninth prince felt a little relieved, went back to the room to change into court clothes, then returned to the hall, and entered the palace with Eunuch Liu.

When he came to the imperial study room, looking at Hu Yanshou with a gloomy face, the ninth prince's heart suddenly thumped, and he bowed and said, "My son has seen his father."

"I didn't expect it." Hu Yanshou looked at him, and his face was full of anger: "I have always been curious about who gave him the courage to be lawless in the capital and unscrupulously abducted thousands of people.

I didn’t expect it was you!”

The ninth prince instantly felt a little confused and pretended to be confused: "What is the father saying? Why can't my son understand?"

"I still want to pretend to be confused, right?" Hu Yanshou laughed anxiously, picked up the confession on the table, and smashed it hard at him: "If you don't understand, just take a closer look at me and see if these things are done by you!"

The confessions were scattered on the ground. The ninth prince leaned over and picked them up. He glanced at them and his face changed drastically. He immediately knelt down on the ground and denied: "Father, please be aware. As a prince, how can I do things to harm the people?

My son is unaware of the things written on it!"

"Do you still want to deny it? I ask you, is this Chen Cang the person of you and Liang Shangzhong? Did you conspire with Liang Shangzhong to create the Wangyou Pavilion? Was it his instructed that Changlefang kidnapped a woman in the city so that she could send it to Wangyou Pavilion to win over the ministers for you?

Liang Shangzhong was deliberately trying to win people's hearts for you, so you didn't know?" Hu Yanshou asked angrily.

The ninth prince quickly denied: "The father is clear and I really don't know. Chen Cang is a guest at my grandfather's mansion. My son has indeed seen him, but he has never instructed him to do anything, nor has he ever conspired with his grandfather.

If a son has a false statement, he will let his father punish him!"

Tsk, the push is so clean... Li Xiuran stood aside, smacking his lips secretly when he heard it.
