The general's wife is too naughty, she starts to flirt with him

Chapter 489: Who is implicating whom?

"Let's start with you." Emperor Chengtian pointed at the person in the front, who looked the least injured. "What's your name, and how did you end up in this situation?"

The man who was called out was filled with fear and trepidation, and wanted to salute, but his body was simply not under his control. After trying for a long time, he could only bow.

At this time, people were smart enough not to argue.

"My name is Yang Sanlang. I was originally a gardener in Prince Huai's palace. About three months ago, when I was cultivating the soil, I accidentally saw Yu Ma, who was by the side of the prince, sending someone to the prince's room."

"I really didn't see clearly who it was at the time. I just took a glimpse and it looked like a young girl. I didn't think too much about it. But that night, I was caught by Yu Ma and sent to the prince's secret room."

Yang Sanlang still feels that he is really unlucky. It had nothing to do with him, but unfortunately, he saw things he shouldn't have seen, so he suffered this disaster.

"What is in that secret room?" Song Qingci took over the question.

Thinking of everything in that secret room, Yang Sanlang couldn't help but tremble.

"In there, in there! It's hell!" Yang Sanlang's emotions suddenly became excited. "People die every day! If you are lucky, you can live longer, but if you are unlucky, you can't survive more than two days in that secret room!"

"Prince, he comes to the secret room almost every day, sometimes to practice martial arts. He uses living people as targets, whether it's bows and arrows, whips or swords, all weapons are aimed at living people."

"As long as they can still move, they won't stop. And the dead will pile up together, waiting for a day to be dealt with together."

"Sometimes, the prince comes to try medicine, and I am the pharmacist who specializes in trying medicine for the prince. I have the best luck among all the medicine men. In addition to practicing martial arts, the prince also likes to develop various poisons. I have tried the medicine three times. Each time, I was almost dead, but I survived in the end." When Yang Sanlang said this, there was obviously a hint of pride and relief on his face.

"People who were killed by drugs and those who were killed by martial arts training will be dealt with together. I don't know where those dead people will be dumped in the end. I just pray that I don't die. I want to survive."

"Most of the people in the secret room are half-grown children, and there are also servants like me who have been found to have done something wrong. When those half-grown children were brought in, most of them were dressed like beggars. No one is allowed to talk casually there. If they are discovered by the steward, they will be beaten severely."

As he spoke, Yang Sanlang's mood changed again, this time he became more pessimistic. It seemed that he no longer had the desire to survive.

His emotions went through so many ups and downs in such a short period of time. I think the inhuman life during this period has made his spirit particularly sensitive and fragile.

"You wicked slave! How dare you betray your master like this!"

King Huai was able to keep his composure, but unfortunately Li Yian was only ten years old.

To have his deeds exposed to the public by a cunning slave whom he never took seriously was like a slap in the face.

If the guards hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed to Yang Sanlang and killed him with his own hands!

"King Huai! You really gave birth to a good son!" Seeing this, Emperor Chengtian said slowly.

Li Yian was unaware of it, but King Huai clearly felt that after these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became much colder.

It seemed as if a lot of cold air was coming from all directions.

"Let me go! Let me go right now! I'm going to beat to death that treacherous slave who betrayed his master!" Li Yian, unaware of the situation, was still trying to get the guards who were blocking him to loosen their shackles.

Unfortunately, the guards in the palace did not obey him.

Emperor Chengtian gave Eunuch Guo a look.

After receiving the prompt, Eunuch Guo immediately understood what Emperor Chengtian meant. He walked to Li Yian's side, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve in front of everyone, and covered Li Yian's mouth with it.

In an instant, the people who were still shouting loudly were reduced to humming sounds.

Emperor Chengtian then pointed at a person next to Yang Sanlang and said, "Go on."

With the example of Yang Sanlang in front, everyone who was questioned afterwards told their experiences in detail.

What they said can confirm each other.

They are basically beggars on the street. Sometimes they are cheated for food, and some are taken away in their sleep without knowing it. When they open their eyes and wake up, they are already in a strange place. There are also children from small families. They are kidnapped by covering their mouths while playing.

Anyway, none of them came to that place voluntarily.

Everyone felt mixed emotions after hearing what these people said.

Those soft-hearted ladies and girls began to wipe away their tears as they listened.

They are all teenagers, about the same age as my nephews and nieces at home. It is really heartbreaking to see such a thing happen to them, and it makes anyone cry.

"King Huai, do you have anything else to say in your defense?"

Emperor Chengtian himself was also very conflicted when he heard these accusations.

In his previous life, he had been living in China where socialism was prevalent. The biggest calamity he encountered was probably that it was difficult to find a job and he could not live the life he wanted.

The biggest bad guys we encounter are vendors who shortchange people on weight and cake sellers who raise the price.

But what the people in front of him are facing now is a matter of life and death.

Moreover, the instigator was a ten-year-old child.

Sure enough, some people are born bad. Even if he is a young child, it will not reduce the bad genes in him in the slightest.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know anything about this matter!" King Huai's expression was hard to describe.

He only knew that the servants in Yi'an's yard were replaced frequently. He also thought that those servants did not serve well, so they were replaced. He really didn't know that there was such a reason.

He knew about the secret room in Yi'an's house, and he was the one who hired the craftsmen to rebuild the secret room. However, he really didn't know how the secret room was used in the end.

It can be said that his mind has not been on Yian at all in recent years.

It's just a child, and he doesn't need too much attention. As long as he is safe, it's enough to have food, drink and books to read.

He did think about it when learning martial arts, but he thought the child was still young and there was no rush.

But he didn't expect that such a big thing would happen in the last secret room that he personally supervised the construction of.

At this moment, King Huai suddenly thought that maybe he was being targeted because of Yian's matter.

Over the years, everything he did was very careful and secretive.

There is no reason to be targeted.

But Yian’s case might really be a loophole.

In an instant, the look in King Huai's eyes when he looked at his son changed slightly.
