Chapter 292 Doomed (3)
"No, Your Majesty, you must trust our master, we don't know anything about Xirong." Chonghua hurriedly kowtowed in panic.

"It's unreasonable! The witnesses have solid evidence, yet you dare to destroy the evidence in front of the widow, come and take this bitch to the Punishment Department, and torture him severely. If you don't recruit, you will be beaten to death!" Ming Gong said angrily. .

In the dark and cold prison of the Criminal Division, accompanied by screams of pain, the whip was flying, and flesh and blood were flying everywhere.

This afternoon, Ming Gong visited the Shuilong Shuren Hall in person and summoned important officials, Cheng Rong, Lu Kai, Wang Zhi and others with different moods, waiting for orders.

But seeing Minggong angrily, he glared at the crowd and announced: "This morning, the senior doctor Cheng Rong and the prime minister Lu Kai went to play, and found that the Xirong spies were rampant again in the capital. The female official Chonghua acted suspiciously, carrying a secret letter, trying to get out of the palace, and tearing up the letter of incrimination in front of the widow, trying to conceal it. These kinds of coincidences are not groundless at all, but real. Mother, has long been in collusion with Xirong, in an attempt to usurp the throne and treason, the evidence of the crime is conclusive and cannot be denied, the widow has decided to give the Queen of Lu's mother and son to commit suicide, what do you think?"

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to answer, only Cheng Rong stepped forward and asserted: "Report to the King, I think this incident is clearly framed."

"Why do you say that? Last time, more than a hundred local officials jointly signed King Lu as the crown prince, and the widow wondered, if no one instructed them, how could they be so united? But this time, even King Lu was imprisoned." In the Department of Punishment and Punishment, you can make waves like this, you say this son, can I still want it? If you are still struggling with the matter of establishing a crown prince, I will decide to establish Song Wang Huien." Minggong announced loudly with his face full of eyes.

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger. I have absolute evidence to prove that King Lu is innocent." Cheng Rong was still unrelenting, holding up his wat to play.

"Cheng Rong, don't bully me too much! Because you are a veteran, I don't have the same knowledge as you, but you insist on standing up for the rebels. Aren't you forcing the widow to punish you?" Ming Gong said with a torch-like gaze.

"Your Majesty, if Queen Lu's mother and son really have the intention of treason and collude with Xi Rong, they must have the capital to do so. However, I found that there is no palace man who can pass the news between them. However, I noticed that in the Chaoyang Palace, a court lady was missing, please look into it, Your Majesty." Cheng Rong said unhurriedly.

"Who is missing?" Mingong asked curiously.

"It's Lianxiang, the maid of honor in Chonghua Palace." Cheng Rong pointedly made his debut.

"Master Cheng, you are making trouble for no reason. Lianxiang is a maid in the imperial concubine Jin's palace. Not long ago, Xirong spy Yunniang pretended to be Lianxiang and assassinated the king. Maybe the real Lianxiang has already been killed. What's so strange about this?" Lu Kai, the prime minister at the side, suddenly laughed loudly and insisted on sarcasm.

"But later, Master Jin didn't reply to the king." Cheng Rong stroked his beard.

"My lord, Mr. Cheng Rong's reputation in the capital these days is not good, so his words are not serious. He is talking about Qiu Yunxuan, why bother to involve the Chonghua Palace. I plead guilty to the king on behalf of Mr. Cheng. "Lu Kai stopped in front of Cheng Rong with an air of peacemaker.

"My lord, I also have something to say. Recently, the capital has lost not only a maid, but also an important minister. Do you know?" At this time, the general Wang Zhili stood up boldly.

"Who is missing?" Mingong's face suddenly darkened.
