Chapter 1965: Chapter 1962: Past Grievances

This attitude left the Minister of Dali Temple choked, wanting to continue cursing. He never expected that the King of Huainan, who had always been loyal and patriotic, would reach this step today. It was simply courting death, as if he no longer wanted to live.

If not for some level of former respect for the King of Huainan, he certainly wouldn’t have said much.

The King of Huainan drew out half of the sword’s hilt, looked at him, his stance was more than obvious, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

The Minister of Dali Temple’s lips trembled: "..." All sincerity wasted for nothing!

"I will interrogate!" The Minister of Dali Temple gritted his teeth, nearly biting his own lips open.

Several commoners who recklessly rode horses and hurt people on the street were immediately brought forward, and asked directly, "Why did you harm the Wang family’s female relatives?"

"He deserved to die. My daughter was just going out to sell embroidery, but she was kidnapped and ultimately abused to death by that beast Wang Jue." One middle-aged man gritted his teeth, speaking with blood in his mouth, eyes bloodshot, said.

"Is there any evidence?" Upon hearing this, the Minister of Dali Temple felt the possibility was indeed high.

After all, it had come to the Emperor’s attention, how could it be fake? The King of Huainan dared to rebel, he wouldn’t lie about this kind of thing.

After all, if they really supported someone to the throne, they could easily deal with the Wang family.

Even the Minister of Punishments could become a victim beneath the sword.

"This is the material evidence." The middle-aged man presented the evidence.

"These two servants are eyewitnesses. It was these two who drugged my daughter and sent her to the Wang Mansion!"

Following that, close to twenty more people were interrogated.

They were all sons or daughters of their families who were played with by these dignitaries until they lost their lives, primarily implicating the families of Magistrate Zhang from the Ministry of Punishment, the Wang family, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Marquis of Ande’s Mansion.

There were also several profligate sons relying on their family’s titles to live.

The Minister of Dali Temple was sweating profusely by the end of the interrogation.

In fact, he had heard somewhat about such matters in the capital, but ultimately, too many people were involved. How could a third-grade official like him manage it? Even if someone filed a complaint, his submitted report would be intercepted midway.

Although he was angry at heart, he was powerless.

Pulling out the nail, how many victims must be brought out?

"Who are you, and do you have any grievance to file." The Minister of Dali Temple, under immense pressure, didn’t dare to lift his head to look at Emperor Xuanming, instead he secretly glanced at the King of Huainan beside him.

The King of Huainan, middle-aged, belonged to that honest-looking type. When he wasn’t speaking, he didn’t appear authoritative, on the contrary, somewhat gentle.

"I am Xiang Anwan, the eldest daughter of former Vice Minister of Punishment, Xiang Zhicong. Because my father was unwilling to let Magistrate Zhang take me as a concubine, Magistrate Zhang used underhanded tricks to have my father removed from office."

"I thought it would end there, but who knew that Magistrate Zhang would not let my family go. Afterward, when my family was leaving the city, he had us kidnapped separately."

Xiang Anwan said this, gritting her teeth in hatred, wanting to devour these people’s flesh and blood.

Just because her family members were good-looking.

So, her siblings, all couldn’t escape being played with to death?

Why!

The King of Huainan looked at her in pain, his voice choked: "An Wan, it is I who failed you."

"If you failed me, then help me kill these people." Xiang Anwan suddenly smiled, looking directly at Emperor Xuanming above, her eyes full of malice: "To think the people of the world call you a wise ruler, my father never wronged the Emperor, nor did he wrong the people, yet he must suffer."
