Chapter 182: Questioning
Yun Wanqing looked up nervously at the man on the podium.
She was a little uncertain. What did these questions have to do with helping her get a divorce?
The man's gentle expression seemed to encourage her.
She looked at her father again.
Prime Minister Yun had already closed his eyes, avoiding her gaze.
She was panic-stricken and frightened.
Reason told her that she couldn't say it.
But who can tell her what happened today?
Chamber of Secrets?
Is there anything wrong with the secret room in the Song Mansion?
Her thoughts had come to a standstill.
She shook her head in confusion and backed away, holding her stomach.
She wanted to go home and didn't want to stay here.
"Snapped!"
The sound of a gavel breaking through the air caused her to fall to the ground.
"Speak, tell the truth!"
"Yes, yes, my daughter discovered that there is a secret room in the Song Mansion, under the rockery, and told Your Highness."
Cangxun had a smile on his face and was in a very good mood.
Cang Min frowned, his face full of gloom.
Cangyu still looked calm and composed, sitting there as if he was isolated from the world.
Yun Xuanzhi lowered his head heavily.
Song Liu's eyes turned red and his expression was distorted.
Song Qingfeng looked surprised.
What secret room?
Is there a secret room in the Song Mansion?
How come he doesn't know?
"Do you know what's in the secret room? Tell me the truth!"
Kou Boren was helpless, since he was the presiding judge today.
I'm sorry, Lord Yun Xiang.
He secretly apologized to Prime Minister Yun in his heart, but he had to continue asking questions.
"I don't know. I don't know. I have never been to the secret room. There are people guarding it. I can't get in. I don't know what's inside."
She shook her head wildly.
Finally she could say that she didn't know, and she really didn't know!
"My Lords, do you have any objections to this matter?"
Xia Feng held the nanmu box and strolled to Song Liu's feet again.
"Okay! I don't deny that this box is something in the secret room of my house."
Song Liu also calmed down at this moment.
He raised his head and looked at Prime Minister Yun who was standing there.
“However, I want to ask, since Miss Yun knows where this thing is, was it Prime Minister Yun who told her?
Does Prime Minister Yun also have a share of this thing?
Including this matter, is Prime Minister Yun also an insider or a participant? "
Everyone immediately looked at Yun Xuanzhi.
Cold sweat broke out on his head.
He knew that Song Liu insisted on calling Yun Wanqing over just to shift the blame or to muddy the waters.
King Shen was overjoyed.
If we could take the opportunity to drag Yun Xuanzhi into the water, that would be a pleasant surprise!
The most important person in Prince Ning’s party is Prime Minister Yun.
Xia Feng reacted immediately and turned towards Prime Minister Yun.
"Yes! Since Miss Yun was the first to know about this matter, I believe Prime Minister Yun should also know about it. Then, can Prime Minister Yun please tell us about it?
What happened back then?
Was it you and your mentor, Prime Minister Song Ren'an, who forged the evidence of Dongbohou Mansion's treason and collusion with the enemy?"
Cangxun kept nodding on the stage.
His uncle is still very capable, much better than King Ning's stupid uncle.
Cang Hantian, who was behind the barrier, heard the questioning from the hall in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
Damn Yun Wanqing.
A rat ruined what they had tried to cover up for so many years. She deserved to be cut into pieces.
At this moment, Yun Wanqing seemed to be forgotten. She sat on the ground, watching the argument among the crowd stupidly.
"What are they talking about? What does it have to do with my father? Did she say something wrong?"
Song Qingfeng stared at her with a pair of hungry wolf-like eyes.
He is such a big complainer!
His own wife was secretly meeting another man in his own yard.
He must have become a laughing stock in the entire Kyoto city today. How will he go out in the future?
Yun Xuanzhi is obviously much higher in rank than Song Liu.
He stood up slowly, calmed his breath, and spoke calmly.
"Seventeen years ago, the old prime minister treated me well, but there was no need for him to hand over the entire Song Mansion to me. The old prime minister has sons and grandsons, and he would never let an outsider know that there is a secret room in his mansion and what important items are stored there. This is unreasonable."
"You were promoted by my father. You worked hard for him for more than a decade. He trusted you much more than I did. I don't believe that this matter has nothing to do with you."
Song Liu felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw, how could he bear to let go.
"What's the matter? Are you sure that it was your father who gave false testimony and framed the father and son of Dong Bohou?"
Yun Xuanzhi shouted coldly, his voice was harsh.
He wanted to prove Song Liu's guilt, and that was all.
"You! I didn't say anything. I don't know. I know nothing about it."
Song Liu panicked.
How could he be a match for Prime Minister Yun?
Just one sentence forced him into a dead end and made him confess.
"You may not know this, but you should know that a son should pay for his father's debts!"
How could Yun Xuanzhi let Song Liu put the blame on him?
There was no need to further clarify the matter. He had to quickly confirm the truth and cut off the connection with the Song Mansion.
Seeing that Prime Minister Yun took over the case on his own initiative, Kou Boran felt a lot more relieved.
That’s right. It’s such a big thing, with so many important people present here, how can he handle it alone? It’s more like he can just help out.
"Minister Song, you have confirmed that the evidence of treason came from the Song Mansion. Even though you did not participate in what happened back then, the Song Mansion did fabricate false evidence to frame the Dongbo Marquis Mansion, and also caused the tragic case of nearly a hundred people in the Marquis Mansion being wiped out overnight. You, the Song Mansion, are to blame. Do you plead guilty?"
Yun Xuanzhi's voice was cold and aggressive.
"No, I don't know. I know nothing about it."
Song Liu panicked again.
What should he do?
Who can tell him?
"I don't know. You kept the evidence? I don't believe you didn't see what was in the box."
Xia Feng pressed forward step by step.
Song Liu grasped the clothes tightly with both hands, and the touch in his hands became hotter and hotter.
He didn't know whether he should take it out now.
If he doesn't take it, will he have another chance to take it out in the future?
"Eighty-eight people from the Dongbo Marquis's residence were killed overnight. Who did it?"
The Minister of Justice Bai Huiquan spoke sternly.
He didn't care about the farce in front of him. Yesterday's events were clear to him, so there was no need to ask.
What he was concerned about was where did the man in black who appeared inexplicably that year come from?
The Song family alone should not have the courage to wipe out the roots of the crime before Dong Bohou and his son were fully convicted.
Back then, he was still the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and was ordered to track down the whereabouts of the man in black. Unfortunately, before he could get any deeper, he was asked to stop investigating.
He was grateful for the bravery of Baili Xian and his son, and did not want them to die in vain.
Privately, he tracked down these people.
He originally thought that it was a murder for hire, and those people should be gangsters.
However, he was surprised that the trail he was pursuing extended to the northern border.
He has always been suspicious and resentful about this matter.
Yun Xuanzhi's eyes narrowed suddenly and his hands clenched subconsciously.
Cangyu, sitting on the high platform, coldly watched the little movements of everyone in the hall, and understood everything.
"What men in black? How would I know what men in black are?"
Song Liu resisted weakly.
The man in black?
Should I speak out? It wasn't just my father who was involved. Prime Minister Yun, the then Minister of War, and the person above were all involved. Should everyone come out and take responsibility?
