He knew that no matter how much he begged Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi would not help him, and so would Miss Liang, not to mention Miss Bing'er. The last time, she suffered the most damage, so it was even less likely that she would help him.
Ever since that day, Zhining never saw Southern Sea appear before her again. From time to time, she would hear from other people that Southern Sea Constable had turned the case against the old general. He had found over ten coroners to stop him from doing an autopsy on the old general. The result was the same as before. The old general had killed himself! Suicide out of guilt.
However, Nanhai didn't believe that the old general's death was his own suicide. He secretly contacted many officials and sent a joint letter asking for the old general to avenge him. The emperor was furious, without any evidence, Nanhai actually wanted the old general to avenge the other officials! It was obvious that the Southern Ocean had ill intentions. It even had the intention of conspiring against them. But the emperor forgave the old general for his filial piety.
Long Yusheng and his group coldly looked at the kneeling Nanhai as they sat on the Dragon Throne. "Southern Ocean, I'll give you one last chance. If you continue to be unrepentant and insist that the old general is innocent, I'll send you to jail!" He hadn't thought that the Southern Ocean would be unable to find evidence of the old general's innocence. It had actually incited so many officials to sign a joint letter asking for him to help the old general turn the tables on the old general. It was too abominable, too disappointing! Deep in his heart, he hoped that the old general was innocent. However, more than ten coroners and even the imperial physicians were certain that the old general had committed suicide, which meant that Gu Huan was indeed the criminal who had sold his country to the enemy!
"Your Majesty, this subject believes that the old general is innocent, that the old general has devoted his life to the Qi Kingdom, and that he is loyal and devoted to the Qi Nation. This subject believes that the old general is definitely not a criminal who colluded with the enemy to sell the country away. The old general must have been wrongly accused."
"Humph!" He patted the handle of the Dragon Throne, and his calm face was covered in a thin layer of ice. "Southern Sea, I order you to return home and close your eyes until you know that you are wrong. Otherwise, you will stay home and meditate, and leave the Imperial Court!" Long Yusheng angrily stood up from the dragon throne. The old eunuch, who had been standing behind him, hurriedly followed him out of the hall.
He didn't think that the emperor wouldn't believe him. Not only did he not believe Long Yusheng, but he also had to think about it behind closed doors. However, he couldn't close his eyes and think about it; the day after tomorrow would be the day the old general was buried. If the old general's corpse was buried, then he would never be able to find any evidence that the old general had been wrongly accused and killed!
Thinking of this, Nanhai stood up from the ground, calmly looking at Long Yusheng as he slowly said, "Your majesty, your subject, I cannot listen to your orders and close my eyes to reflect. Your subject wants to reverse the case for the old general." The meaning behind his words was that he was disobeying the emperor's orders.
Long Ao Tian stood at the side, secretly sweating for Southern Sea. He was afraid that the Emperor would imprison Southern Sea in a prison, and at that time, things would get even worse.
The anger on his face grew even more intense, and his body began to emit a cold aura. The big hands hidden under the wide dragon robe tightly clenched into fists, and he clenched his teeth, slowly asking word by word, "Southern Sea, you dare to disobey my order?"
He didn't fear the anger on the emperor's face in the slightest. He believed that he hadn't done anything wrong, so he didn't need to fear the emperor, even though he knew that the emperor was already in a rage. He cupped his hands together, bowed his head, and respectfully replied, "Reporting to the emperor, this subject does not disobey His Majesty's orders. This subject believes that the old general is innocent, and this subject wants to reverse the case for him." No matter the reason, no one could stop him from turning the case over for the old general unless he died!
"Bastard!" Long Yusheng angrily walked down the steps and threw the object in his hand at Nanhai's face. He then put his hands behind his back as he coldly stared at Nanhai.
The ball of paper hit Nanhai's face and fell onto the ground. Nanhai crouched down and picked up the ball of paper, then held it in his hand, opening it to look. When he saw the contents on the paper, his face instantly turned deathly pale, he raised his head and looked at Long Yusheng in disbelief, "Your majesty?" The letter thrown onto the ground by the emperor was handwritten by the old general. It said that he had secretly forged a weapon and wanted to sell it to him. However, the other side wanted too many of them, so he rejected them. How could the contents of the letter be true?
Long Yusheng didn't pay attention to Nanhai's surprised expression. He turned around, walked up the steps, and sat on the dragon throne. He looked down at the unsightly expression on Nanhai's face and said, "Men, bring the weapons you've found to the main hall so that Master Nan can see them clearly."
A guard slowly walked to the center of the hall with two large sabers in his hands. He gently placed the sabre on the ground. "This servant greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty! Long live and long live the Emperor!"
"I ask you, where did you get that knife from?" Long Yu Sheng looked at the kneeling guards as he questioned them with a cold voice.
The guard lowered his head and replied respectfully. Your majesty, I found it in a cave on the western mountain of the border. I also found the person who made the weapons there, and after some questioning, I gave them all to them. They were all made under the orders of the old general. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the guards. The officials standing on both sides of the hall wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What else have you found?" "Speak!" Long Yusheng ordered the guards coldly.
"I also found it. The marks on the weapons found in the cave are exactly the same as the ones used by the Yan Kingdom soldiers." The guard lowered his head and respectfully replied to Long Yu Sheng.
Without even thinking, Southern Ocean rejected the guard's words. "You're lying, it's impossible for the old general to make the weapon for the Great!" The person that the old general hated the most in his life was the people of Yanzhou. How could he forge a weapon for the people of Yanzhou?
"Southern Sea, do you still have me in your eyes? Nowadays, human evidence, material evidence, and even letters written by Gu Huan were all in my hands. All the evidence indicated that Gu Huan had personally made a weapon and sold it to Yan Kingdom to earn silver taels. "You even insisted that Gu Huan was wrongly accused?" Long Yusheng icily stared at Nanhai and asked.
Nanhai took a deep breath, then straightened his back and calmly looked at Long Yusheng, "This official believes that the old general is innocent."
Long Yuxun immediately became anxious, "Southern Sea, you are so stubborn that you repeatedly turned the tables on the scum of a country. Men, take off his official hat! I'll remove you from your post and see how you'll reverse the situation for Gu Huan! "
"Father?!" Long Ao Tian took a step forward, clasping his hands together, begging as he looked at Long Yu Sheng.
Long Yu Sheng ignored Long Ao Tian, and ordered the guards to stand at the entrance of the hall. "Men, bring out the Southern Ocean Palace, guard it well, if he still dares to rush around and seek justice for Gu Huan, then bring him to the prison as an enemy and sell his country! "Retreat!"
