I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 507: More Inside Information in the Confession

Shuntian Prefecture Prison.

After a busy round of questioning, several clerks gathered all the interrogation records together and handed a thick stack to Xue Zhubu.

Xue Zhubu and Zhou Shiye breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up at the prison...

From time to time, faint sobbing sounds could be heard from inside.

Among these servants, some are indeed innocent.

They were just servants of the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion. They just performed their duties and chores every day and did not participate in any evil deeds.

When the case is over, they will have their own places to go.

However, there are many lackeys among them who aid and abet the evil.

In order to please their master, they even took the initiative to bully Miss Leng Rongyue and the people around her even more severely.

There are many people who do this.

The secrets behind the Marquis Qinxing’s mansion are sometimes really hard to imagine!

Master Xue shook his head and walked out of the prison with Master Zhou.

The two went to see the prefect Zheng Tong.

The thick stack of confessions was handed over to the prefect Zheng Tong.

Zheng Tong did not dare to delay for a moment. After sitting down at the desk, he carefully read through each page.

After reading the last page, Zheng Tong had just sorted out all the confessions when he heard his subordinates report: The dignitaries have arrived!

Zheng Tong stood up suddenly and led Xue Zhubu and Zhou Shiye to greet them.

On this side, Xiao Jingyu got off the carriage first, turned around, and personally helped Emperor Hongde and Queen Luan Xiying down.

As soon as the three men got off the carriage and stood still, they saw Zheng Tong, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, jogging towards them with several of his men.

When they came closer, Zheng Tong and the others lifted their robes and knelt there, "Your Majesty, Zheng Tong pays homage to our emperor. Long live the emperor!

Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. May you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!

Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yu, may you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

"Okay, Mr. Zheng, please stand up!"

Emperor Hong De stretched out his hand to support him.

"My lord, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Tong and others stood up.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness Prince Yu, please take a seat in the lobby in front!"

Zheng Tong said with a cupped hand.

Emperor Hongde nodded, put his arm around Empress Luan Xiying, and Xiao Jingyu followed beside him. The three of them followed Zheng Tong and walked towards the lobby in front.

Zheng Tong walked forward with Emperor Hong De and his party, feeling somewhat anxious.

After hesitating for a while, Zheng Tong still spoke hesitantly: "Your Majesty, it is still early now, and the Duke Anguo and his family have not arrived yet. Please wait for a moment."

Emperor Hongde waved his hand nonchalantly, "I arrived early anyway, so it's okay to wait a while and sit for a while!"

Hearing Emperor Hong De say this, Zheng Tong felt a little relieved.

Everyone came to the lobby of Shuntian Mansion.

Emperor Hong De raised his eyes and looked around...

In the middle of the lobby, a tall and imposing large screen with a painting of a sunrise over the sea stands behind the desk.

A huge plaque is hung above, with four big characters "The Blue Sky Is Above" written on it.

On the wide desk, official seals, decrees, and the four treasures of the study were neatly arranged;

There was also a wooden block placed quietly on the desk to wake up the audience.

On both sides of the lobby, there are avoidance and silence signs placed in order.

The lobby is clean and bright, without a speck of dust.

Emperor Hong De looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.

Zheng Tong is not a lazy person, and he is honest and upright.

With such an official serving as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture in the important area of ​​the capital, I can feel a lot more at ease.

Zheng Tong led Emperor Hong De and his family of three to a large chair behind a screen on one side of the lobby and sat them down.

The palace maids who came with them set up a clay stove, boiled water, and prepared fragrant tea for the Emperor, Empress, and Prince Yu.

When Zheng Tong saw this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had originally been thinking of preparing refreshments for people;

Then he thought again, how could the Emperor and Empress and His Royal Highness Prince Yu eat food outside when they are out of the palace?

If something unexpected happens, even if Zheng Tong loses his head ten times, it will be difficult to atone for his sin!

This is good. With the palace servants following me to serve me, I don’t have to worry about these things anymore.

Emperor Hongde first helped Empress Luan Xiying to sit down, and then he sat down himself.

After sitting down, Emperor Hong De turned to look at Zheng Tong, "Lord Zheng, how is the investigation going?"

Zheng Tong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, “Your Majesty, all the people from the Marquis of Qinxing’s mansion have been taken to the prison and are being guarded separately;

Except for Leng Xian, Yin, old Yin, the two illegitimate children, and the servants who served them closely, who would be tried in the hall soon, the confessions of all others had been taken and detailed records had been made.

All those confessions have been delivered to me, my humble servant;

I have just read them all.

I wonder if His Majesty would like to review it?"

Emperor Hongde thought about it and nodded, "Well, anyway, I arrived a little early and I have nothing to do now, so bring it to me for a look."

"Yes, I obey your order!"

Zheng Tong responded.

Xue Zhubu had already taken the pile of confessions and handed them to Zheng Tong;

Zheng Tong took it.

Yu Feng stepped forward, took the confession from Zheng Tong, and presented it to Emperor Hongde.

Emperor Hong De flipped through the pages one by one, and the more he read, the gloomier his expression became.

Emperor Hong De looked at the confession records, read one, and then put one in front of Xiao Jingyu.

Xiao Jingyu watched with Emperor Hong De.

Looking at these confessions, Xiao Jingyu's heart ached...

How much injustice has her little princess suffered in the eight or nine years since her mother passed away?

How much suffering have you endured?

How much suffering have you endured?

This bunch of ungrateful bastards in Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion...all deserve to die!
