415 Sin
He Shun thought that the crown prince really wanted to stand up for him and was touched.
The crown prince gathered the military officials and told them about the He family.
The thoughts of those officials were different. They more or less knew how miserable the He Residence was.
Those who had a grudge against He Shun felt very happy. Those who had a stake in He Shun’s family were secretly flustered.
The crown prince asked them, “Who do you think did this?”
The Assistant Minister of War replied, “This matter reminds me of the theft of the Marquis of An’s Residence and the General’s Residence. They might have been done by the same person.”
Another official said, “The Assistant Minister of War is right. This method is so similar. It must have been done by the same person. In order to ensure the safety of the people in the capital, Your Highness, please give the order to search!”
The crown prince nodded. A search was definitely necessary, but he was in charge of how it was to be searched.
Just as the crown prince was thinking about how to arrange for the searchers, Lord Futai said respectfully, “Your Highness, I have a question.”
“Lord Futai, please speak,” the crown prince said.
“It’s like this. After the Marquis of An’s Residence and the General’s Residence were robbed, there were scandals and even crimes revealed. If they were robbed by the same person, would there be any problems revealed?”
Lord Futai’s words touched the crown prince’s heart, but he could not show joy because of this. His face darkened. “Do they have a grudge?”
If they didn’t have any deep hatred, they wouldn’t have been robbed like this.
“I feel that it might not be a grudge. Perhaps that hero thief is a chivalrous person and can’t stand what the He family has done, so he took action to punish them.”
“Your Highness, no matter what, it’s really not right for the eunuchs of the emperor’s concubines to appear in a minister’s house in the middle of the night. Moreover, these two people have caused such a scandal. Your Highness, please consider the country of the Great Yun Nation and stand up for the people of the Great Yun Nation by investigating the He family thoroughly! Your Highness, please eliminate harm for the country of the Great Yun Nation.”
In the end, Lord Futai fell to his knees. At this moment, they had already walked out of the He Residence.
The crown prince was originally very casual. He planned to hand the He family over to Lord Futai. He also knew the hatred between the He family and the Futai family.
However, Lord Futai actually said that he would get rid of the harm for the country. The consequences would be difficult to deal with.
“Lord Futai, some things can’t be mixed together. You know what I mean, right?” The crown prince looked at the platform with a serious expression. The commoners kneeling at the side did not even dare to breathe loudly as they quietly listened to Lord Futai’s statement.
“They conspired to murder the emperor’s heir, harmed their colleagues, snatched commoners’ daughters, bribed people, and plotted a rebellion. All the criminal evidence is in my hands!”
Rumble…
A sudden clap of thunder on a sunny day stunned the crown prince. Not only was he stunned by the thunder, but he was also stunned by Lord Futai’s words.
He Shun had actually committed so many crimes. If they investigated thoroughly, it would not be too much to kill his entire family.
However, why did this Lord Futai have so much incriminating evidence against the He family?
Not to mention the crown prince, even the commoners kneeling on the ground were dumbfounded. Although they knew that the He family was no good, they did not expect the He family to dare to do such a crazy thing.
Lord Futai knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the crown prince. “Your Highness, please deal with this scourge! Return peace to Great Yun Nation!”
The Crown Prince was still in shock, and so were the civil and military officials.
He Shun, who was already dressed, rushed out when he heard Lord Futai’s words.
He pointed at the platform with red eyes. “You’re talking nonsense! Don’t you just hate me for blocking your promotion path back then and want to take revenge on me? I didn’t expect you to be so vicious. You’re trying to kill my entire family.”
Actually, when Lord Futai mentioned He Shun’s crimes, He Shun felt a little scared because he was ninety percent guilty of those crimes!
Therefore, He Shun was very afraid now. He pointed at Lord Futai’s nose and cursed. In the end, He Shun rushed forward to attack him.
