Chapter 189 Suicide out of guilt, leaving behind a letter written in blood

King Cheng also stood up to speak for the crown prince.

If the Crown Prince hadn't been willing to investigate the truth, he would have been blamed for this, so he now trusts the Crown Prince completely.

Seeing their actions, King Xiao winked at several ministers beside him, and then a few more ministers stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, this matter is due to the Crown Prince's incompetence. Not only did he fail to find concrete evidence, but he also drove someone to their death! Although the Crown Prince was ordered to investigate the case, he was not tasked with taking lives lightly!"

Especially since the Crown Prince forcibly arrested and tortured Qin Wu's family members before Qin Wu was fully convicted, this was a violation of the law!

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is right. Although Qin Wu is a suspect, we still need sufficient evidence. Now that Qin Wu has committed suicide, it is clear that he was forced to do so because his family members were imprisoned and tortured by the Crown Prince."

"His Highness the Crown Prince is young and impetuous; this method of investigation is simply unacceptable. I implore Your Majesty to hold the Crown Prince accountable!"

......

Several court officials stood up to criticize Xiao Ye, while King Xiao lowered his eyes and revealed a smug look.

Emperor Wenjian also looked serious and was inwardly agitated.

He assigned Xiao Ye to investigate the case, intending to dampen his arrogance and negatively impact his image among court officials and the common people. However,

I didn't mean for things to escalate like this!

It is indeed a bad phenomenon to kill officials without conviction.

Just as Emperor Wenjian was about to say something, Xiao Ye suddenly spoke up.

"Who says I have no evidence? Guards, bring forth all the evidence of Qin Wu's embezzlement!"
