Chapter 198
And those prisoners who were not tortured into tricks, but who really wanted to frame Empress Liu and Feng Junchi, were even more shocked. They never expected that someone would suddenly withdraw their confession.

There are a few more!

A jailer said: "Let's go and report to Mr. Xu! Such a big matter! We can't bear the slightest mistake!"

"exactly."

After speaking, several jailers planned to go.

But he was stopped by the leading jailer: "Wait! This case was tried by Dali Temple, and the prisoner suddenly retracted his confession. If this is true, it is really a trick of torture. The Queen and His Royal Highness did not rebel at all. Aren't we going to suffer? Don't forget Yes, we are all from Dali Temple! We were all present when the execution was carried out!"

"But Cao Pingyuan let that go!" said a jailer, "We are all following orders! Cao Pingyuan is dead now, Dali Temple is now in charge of Master Xu, even if we are investigated, we are not that big of a crime, but if we don't report it , but was found out by Mr. Xu, or by the emperor. There are so many people imprisoned in this prison, and they all heard it. Which one has no identity? Can be interrogated by Dali Temple without identity? Not all of them are death sentences, many They will be released soon, can you stop all of them? You can guarantee that Master Xu and the Emperor will never know, and once they know, we will really die!"

Hearing the words, the leading jailer suddenly came to his senses: "I'm confused! Then go, go and report to Master Xu!"

"Let's go."

Dali Temple has a lot of things to do, since he was promoted to Dali Temple Minister, Xu Fuzhou seldom goes home, usually he lives in Dali Temple, and today he also lives in Dali Temple.

He hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was sitting under the oil lamp, reading files, and thinking about a new case that was being tried today.

Suddenly, a few jailers came to report in a hurry, saying that several prisoners retracted their confessions, saying that they were tortured into tricks, and that the Queen and His Royal Highness did not conspire against each other at all.

Xu Fuzhou was taken aback.

Without a coat, he hurried to the prison.

The prisoners who were crying for injustice, when they saw Xu Fuzhou, knelt down and cried out for injustice: "My lord, I am wronged, we are wronged, the queen and the crown prince are wronged."

Xu Fuzhou sternly shouted: "You are the ones who say you want to rebel, and you are the ones who say you have been wronged. Do you know what will happen if you retract your confession?"

"We know, we know..." The prisoners wept bitterly, "But we really can't understand our own conscience. It was Mr. Cao Pingyuan who tortured us and threatened us to arrest our family members. We have no choice but to agree that the empress and the crown prince want to rebel against someone who came to torture us like this. If Mr. Xu doesn't believe it, just ask the jailers of Dali Temple. They were all present when Mr. Cao interrogated us. How did we suffer? They can all see the torture clearly."

The jailers didn't expect to mention them, and they were all taken aback. Immediately, they all knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Fuzhou: "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life! What can we understand? Before, Lord Cao was the Minister of Dali Temple. This Dali Temple, isn’t it all Master Cao can do whatever he wants? Even if we see many people being tortured, we dare not say a word.”

Xu Fuzhou's face was extremely ugly.He has been in Dali Temple for some time, and he also found that there are more or less problems in the previous cases of Dali Temple.

But there are many new cases, and he can't take care of the old cases at all.

It can be said that there is more than enough heart but not enough strength.
