The concubine wants to farm: the alluring wife raises the emperor

Chapter 468 Into the Prison
"This..." The emperor pondered for a moment, "Zhang Aiqing, what evidence do you have?"

Zhang Wenyu lowered his head and squinted his eyes. As evidence, he asked people to bring out all the people who had been arrested from the dungeon before.

Those were tortured prisoners whose human form could hardly be seen, but their fear of Li Hong should be deeply rooted in their bones.

The emperor looked at those people who were brought up, and the bloodthirsty emotion flashed in his eyes.

As soon as those people saw Li Hong, they started to cower, and they tried their best to hide on the other side, not daring to get close to Li Hong.

The movement of moving on the ground like this made the ground stained with traces of blood, which didn't look very comfortable.

Zhang Wenyu suppressed the disgust in his heart, frowned and looked at Li Hong, his expression didn't change at all, as if he really didn't know where these people came from.

"Who are these people?"

"The people imprisoned in that dungeon, I think, they should be no strangers to Hong Wangye." Zhang Wenyu bowed his head.

The emperor glanced at Li Hong, saw that he didn't respond, and asked, "Do you know this person in front of you?"

Those people looked at the people next to them through their messy hair. They looked at each other and nodded tremblingly.

Li Hong glanced over coldly, then continued to look at the emperor in a blink of an eye.

"No! I don't know him!" Their fear of Li Hong had reached the extreme, and his eyes could make their livers tremble.

Zhang Wenyu's eyes froze, she didn't expect these people to change their minds temporarily.

They have been asked before, and Li Hong is the chief culprit who hurt them, and the crimes of these people are actually not so serious.

"You really don't know each other?" The emperor rolled his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief.

"There are at least a hundred people locked up in the dungeon. If these people don't know each other, then we can ask others." Zhang Wenyu calmed down. These people were just ordinary people who were bullied by Li Hong.

"Father, Master Zhang's words alone can really convict my son?" Li Hong had a look of disdain on his face.Now Zhang Wenyu wants to report him in front of the emperor based on the words of only one person, but all these evidences can be forged, and he insists that he just happened to be there.What can he do with himself?
"Your Majesty, anyone who I have brought to the secret road can testify for me." Zhang Wenyu looked up at the emperor, "I think you know who the person is in my hands, Your Majesty."

The emperor's eyes froze. Zhang Wenyu's people were all his confidantes, and some of them had some eyeliners inserted by him. Naturally, there was some credibility.

But this is not absolute evidence, and it cannot completely prove someone's innocence.

Li Hong stood in the hall, quickly thinking about what evidence he had to clear his absolute innocence.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Zhang Wenyu threw out Li Yin's evidence directly.

"Your Majesty, I found Prince Yin's belongings in that secret passage." Zhang Wenyu took out a jade pendant, the word "Yin" engraved on it was very clear.

Li Yin disappeared for so long, and found Li Yin's things in the secret path, which is already a very useful evidence.

The emperor took the jade pendant, it was a gift from Li Yin when he just came back, and he was familiar with it.

"Could it be that Yin'er disappeared in the secret road before?" The emperor frowned, and glanced at Li Hong sharply, as if to blame.

He could not take Li Hongjian's secret way seriously, but if something happened to Li Yin in his hands, then he would definitely not let it go easily.

Li Hong raised his eyebrows and looked at the emperor, feeling a little nervous. The emperor knew that the secret path belonged to him, that was for sure, but he had a chance to let this matter pass by.

But Zhang Wenyu proved that Li Yin had an accident there, so I don't know if the emperor is willing to turn a blind eye and help him cover it.

"I'll ask you again, do you know this person or don't you know him?" The emperor said with a sullen face, pointing to Li Hong and asking those embarrassed people.

Those people were already a little confused in this hall, whose side they should be on.

Zhang Wenyu looked at them in a blink of an eye, with a calm face: "This is the last chance the emperor gave you, if someone tells lies again, don't blame you for missing the opportunity."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, Li Hong was the current prince, they knew it, but it seemed that the emperor had no intention to protect Li Hong in the current situation?
One person nodded: "It's him, he's the one who imprisoned us in the dungeon."

One person agreed, and the others began to follow what that person said: "This is the person who has been torturing us in the dungeon..."

"Father, the words of these people cannot be trusted." Li Hong then defended himself, "Maybe these people are all guilty?"

"Oh?" Zhang Wenyu laughed, "What a coincidence, I just sent someone to find out the family background of these people and the things they committed before, but they are very innocent."

He asked people to take all the things he had found in advance and pass them to the emperor, looking at Li Hong with smiling eyes.

Li Hong's habit is simply heinous. He randomly searches and arrests people just to put them in the dungeon for his leisure time. Yes, he just has the habit of abusing others.

The emperor roughly turned over the things Zhang Wenyu handed over. If the evidence was not false, then Li Hong was harming innocent people.

He had never heard of these things. He knew about Li Hong's secret way, but he had never thought about the people in the secret way and its real use.

Although he hasn't done anything for the people in these years, he never thought of treating his own people like this. Li Hong is more cruel than he knows.

"Come here, take Li Hong into prison." The emperor dropped the things in his hand.

"Father, these are all Zhang Wenyu's one-sided words!" Li Hong finally became a little nervous.

The emperor finally stood by Li Yin's side, knowing the news, he cut off all roads to him.

"Wait!" The emperor came down from above and stood in front of Li Hong, "Where is Li Yin?"

"Father, you are most concerned about him." He sneered.

"Where is he?"

"You just wait to collect his body!" Li Hong laughed maniacally, even if he didn't know where Li Hong was now, at least he didn't want to make the emperor feel happy at all.

The emperor's face turned cold, he turned back to his seat, and watched Li Hong being dragged down with cold eyes.

Zhang Wenyu has been standing by the side with his head bowed, without any expression during the whole process.

"Where is Li Yin?" The emperor turned his gaze to him.

Zhang Wenyu shook his head: "I don't know."

"Then where did you receive the news, where is Li Hong's secret way?"

"Someone came to inform me, but I don't know who that person is."
